The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 166 Outward Moves (8600 word chapter)
In Game 2 of the Western Conference semifinals, when the game between the Thunder and the Mavericks started at 2 minutes and 42 seconds, Coach Carlisle immediately requested a timeout. The situation on the court was very bad!
Not only is Li Ze's personal defense problem, the tortoise in this game also continued the style of play at the end of the previous game, and began to crazily attack the Mavericks' inside line, which greatly increased the pressure on Dampier's defense. The 35-year-old veteran I feel like I'm going to be overwhelmed at the beginning.
The start at 4:10 also plunged the audience in the Ford Center Arena into a crazy atmosphere. The blue and white ocean began to surge continuously. The players broke out little by little, and the fans felt that the victory was beckoning to the home team!

During the timeout, on the Mavericks' bench, the players looked serious. If the Thunder really broke out with all their members, the game may be spent soon. No one wants to go back to Dallas after 0:2.

The coaching staff naturally made a plan before the game, but what happened in this game tonight is the last thing they want to see. Coach Carlisle kept raising his volume at this time, trying to make his players hear more clearly:
"23 zone defense, guys, we must guard against the Thunder's two flanks, Kidd and Butler, pay attention to the defense of Lee, don't shrink too small, Marion, if the opponent continues to break through, you must quickly help defend!"

"Communicate well on the court. Let's try to defend for a few rounds first. We must protect the rebounds. Kidd, seize the opportunity to switch offenses!"

The assistant coach on the side also quickly took out the prepared tactical board, and continued to cooperate with Carlisle's explanation, so that everyone could better understand the changes on the defensive end.

"buzz"

As soon as the timeout came, Coach Carlisle also began to cheer for his players:

"There is still a lot of game time, do a good job defensively, and be patient on the offensive end!"

On the other side of the ocean, since today is Thursday, if the fans want to watch the game, they have to come to Sina Sports to watch the game. The host Ke Xiaofan saw that the Mavericks did not make personnel adjustments, and immediately said:
"Actually, the Mavericks don't have a good rotation player on the bench. If Terry was to play early, he might not be able to play better than Caron Butler. Mr. Yang, how many minutes did you have in the first two minutes?" What do you think?"

"My opinion is that the Mavericks need to replace Dampier, the old center, next season. The defense really can't keep up. Although they can score a few goals at the basket on the offensive end, what the Mavericks need more is an insider. Gate, so that Nowitzki can reduce physical exertion."

Guest Yang Yi said cheerfully that he is also happy that the Thunder played well. For this round of the series, he predicted that the Thunder will easily win 4:2 and win the second home game, which perfectly fits his script.
"Let's see how the Mavericks make adjustments after returning from a timeout. If they continue to maintain the state at the beginning, it is very likely that they will be opened up in the first quarter."

After the Mavericks came back from a timeout, the Mavericks immediately handed the ball to Nowitzki on the left waist after a few passes from outside. Nowitzki faced Jeff Green's defense and quickly released the ball with his left hand after three threats. Hold Jeff Green by his side with his body and go straight to the basket.

Noticing that the Thunder's defensive rotation quickly shrunk inward, Nowitzki immediately feinted with the ball, and after flying Jeff Green, adjusted his posture and shot a mid-range jumper near the baseline.

"Shua" steadily scored in the middle distance.

Everyone in the Thunder team was not affected by Nowitzki's offense and quickly sent out the bottom line.

Krstic came to the pick-and-roll on the three-point line again. Turtle wanted to continue the previous two rounds and go left to speed up the breakthrough. This time Dampier's defense quickly rotated up, and Kidd was always paying attention to Krstic's movements. .

At this time, the Mavericks shrunk very much, and the turtles did not forcefully attack, and returned the ball to Jeff Green at the top of the arc. Li Ze noticed the Mavericks' zone defense and immediately signaled his teammates to move the ball.

It's just that the Mavericks guarded against the two flanks. Li Ze and Durant failed to get a chance. After the ball circled around, Jeff Green at the top of the arc finally got an open shot from outside the three-point line.

"Bang" hit an iron with anger.

The Mavericks paid great attention to the protection of the rebounds, and everyone got stuck in advance. In the end, Dampier successfully protected the rebounds.

Coach Brooks on the sidelines noticed the defensive changes of the Mavericks, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. The situation of missed shots also happened in the regular season. The Thunder's outside three-pointers are actually very unstable.
After Kidd quickly dribbled across the half court, Marion immediately made a simple transition ball and gave the ball to Nowitzki on the right waist again. Before Kostic came up to double-team, Nowitzki Base took a quick shot with a receding mid-range.

"Shua" two points and then scored.

Jeff Green is numb. He was completely blown away by the opponent in the last game. Tonight, he feels that Nowitzki seems to be shooting more accurately.
In the defense of the 4th position, Ibaka can't restrain Nowitzki at all. That kind of exaggerated shooting is useless for the Thunder to defend.

For the Thunder's offense, after halftime, Guigui did not call for a pick-and-roll this time. How to quickly break through the 23 zone defense, just move the ball continuously and quickly from the outside.

After Guigui pretended to break through, he immediately distributed the ball to Jeff Green in the bottom corner. Noticing that the Mavericks' defense was moving to the left half, Jeff Green quickly passed the ball and immediately gave it to Li Ze.

Don't stop the ball, continue to pass, after quickly shifting from the left to the right, Durant got a chance from outside the three-point line, but he didn't choose to shoot directly, but after taking a step, he wanted to take a mid-range shot, but this It gave the Mavericks a chance to rotate defensively.

Marion's defense quickly turned in place, and Kidd also gave up the tortoise at the top of the arc, and immediately double-teamed Durant. Dampier in the paint area also immediately defended. People, surrounded by a bunch of arms.
Durant naturally noticed Krstic, who was completely open at this time, and was about to pass the ball, but was caught by Kidd and easily intercepted, and the Mavericks quickly launched a conversion attack.

"Oh!!"

The audience in the Ford Center Arena suddenly let out an exclamation. No one expected that after a few rounds, the situation on the field would be reversed.

After Kidd dribbled two steps, he immediately passed the ball to Marion in front of him. After receiving the ball, the latter strode across the half court, holding the ball in his right hand and accelerating. basket succeeded.

"Good shot! The Mavericks did a great job defending this time! The three surrounded Durant and directly blocked the ball in Durant's hands. The joint defense in these two rounds really worked, and the Mavericks successfully caught up."

The host Ke Xiaofan saw the tie again, and immediately praised the Mavericks for their defense.

"Durant shouldn't hesitate, throw the opportunity straight away, the easiest way to break the 23 zone defense is to hit a long shot from the outside, Kidd and Caron Butler on the line can't completely defend the outside line, the opportunity It will always come out, it depends on whether the players on the field dare to shoot."

Yang Yi thought that Durant would definitely make a jump shot immediately, but unexpectedly, he took a step and sent it to the Mavericks
In the Thunder's attack, Li Ze gave his teammates an offensive gesture, and at the same time signaled Jeff Green to go to the right corner first. Turtle, relying on Kostic's pick-and-roll from outside the three-point line, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand. .

Noticing the Mavericks' defensive contraction, he immediately passed the ball to Jeff Green in the bottom corner. The Mavericks' defense was moving to the right at this time, and the Thunder's perimeter began to quickly pass the ball.

The ball quickly moved from the right to the left. As soon as Li Zegang received the ball, Caron Butler rushed up quickly, but Li Ze ignored the opponent's defense and shot quickly from outside the three-point line.

"Shua" three-point hollow net.

"what!!"

Seeing Li Ze break the team's scoring drought, the audience at Ford Center burst into cheers again.

The head coach Brooks breathed a sigh of relief at the scene. At the critical moment, star players need to stand up, and Li Ze responded very well.

While retreating, Li Ze loudly reminded his teammates:
"Resolutely shoot! Retreat quickly, don't worry about not making the shot!"

Li Ze knew that once the score was stalemate, Krstic would become soft and hard, and opportunities at the basket might not end. At this time, the outside line must respond.

For the rest of the first quarter, the Thunder's outside line was a bit off-point, and the Mavericks' two wings were defended very high. The score is not ideal.

Coupled with the fact that Carlisle's head coach let Haywood rotate on the court in advance and replaced Dampier, who was a little difficult to defend, this also made it more difficult for Krstic to finish at the basket.

When the first quarter ended, at 1:26, the Thunder temporarily led by two points. Li Ze made 28 of 5 shots, including 5 of 3 three-pointers. He scored 3 points, 13 rebounds and 2 assist. Played the first quarter.

Coach Brooks is very cautious. Li Ze is too important. In the case of Durant's outside line, Li Ze must be on the court to rest assured.
During the intermission, the Thunder temporarily adjusted the rotation lineup, allowing Li Ze, who played the first quarter, to rest first, and Guigui, Sefoloza, Durant, Ibaka, and Collison played.

"We need to pass the ball quickly. If there is an opportunity from the outside, shoot immediately. Russell, pay attention to the passing route and control mistakes. Kevin, continue to shoot. There is still a lot of game time, adjust your state!"

Durant nodded immediately when he heard the words. He played too badly in the first quarter. He made 1 of 5 outside shots and could only score with free throws. This performance is unacceptable.
Sitting on the bench, Li Ze felt a little helpless. The opponent's 23 zone defense allowed the Thunder to get a lot of outside opportunities. Coach Carlisle was completely betting that the Thunder's role players would not make chance shots. At present, the opponent's bet correct
At the beginning of the second quarter, Nowitzki and Marion of the Mavericks continued to play. Barea and Jason Terry formed the back line of the Mavericks. Together with center Haywood, the Mavericks used their own routine. Rotation, the wonderful 2-back lineup failed to appear
It's just that after more than two minutes of the game, the audience at the Ford Center Arena exclaimed again and again, Jason Terry must have cheated, and against Sefolosha's defense, he changed from front to back three times All of the emergency stop jumpers scored.

Coupled with Barea's step-back three-pointer after the pick-and-roll, the Mavericks played a wave of 9:2 abruptly, which made Brooks' head coach immediately request a timeout.

In the Sina studio, the host Ke Xiaofan and the guest Yang Yi were dumbfounded. Although the Mavericks did not lead by much, they both knew that the momentum of the game had turned to the Mavericks.

"The Mavericks played these few balls really badly! It's totally unreasonable. The small guard changes to an emergency stop jumper before holding the ball. This scene is rare. This is the playoffs. Coach Carlisle really played like this !"

Seeing the Mavericks' style of play, Yang Yi complained helplessly.

"It's really unexpected. The defense of the Mavericks is also very interesting. Strangling Durant's side, everyone else, you can shoot from the outside. As a result, the Thunder missed the outside line, and Ibaka scored two points under the basket. It stands to reason that this is a bit strange. It should be, there were a few times when there were wide open spots, and the result was that I couldn’t make the shot.”

The host Ke Xiaofan watched anxiously, if he couldn't make another shot, the opponent's defense would shrink further and further.

The atmosphere in the Ford Center Arena was a bit dull at this time. Coach Brooks naturally knew about the team's problems. Although Li Ze was only allowed to rest for more than two minutes, he had to go straight to the top at this time.

"Kayce, pay attention to the opponent's defensive position after entering the court, and quickly throw the ball when you encounter a pincer. Ibaka, you need to stand more at the free throw line, and when there is a chance to shoot, be decisive!"

"The defensive end should also be tense, Russell, if the opponent continues to expand the range of the ball and follow up directly, we will consume them on the defensive end, and the opponent's shooting rate will definitely drop slowly. Pay attention to rebounding."

The assistant coach on the side is also reminding Durant:
"Kevin, you need to speed up your offensive rhythm, shoot quickly after receiving the ball, and try not to call the pick-and-roll!"

The quality of the Thunder's screens is a bit worrying. Every time Durant calls a pick-and-roll, it is very likely that he will be completely double-teamed by the Mavericks.
After returning from the timeout, Li Ze replaced Sefolosha. The audience at Ford Center cheered when they saw Li Ze appearing on the field, and immediately began to cheer for the home team:

"OKC! OKC! OKC!"

Turtle quickly dribbled across the half court, and Ibaka immediately stepped up to cover. At this time, Heywood's defense followed directly, and Barea's also followed closely behind him.

Before the pinch was formed, Guigui immediately gave the ball to Ibaka, Li Ze quickly moved to the top of the arc, and Guigui bounced to the left outside the three-point line to open up space. At this time, the Mavericks almost became A 32 zone defense.

Jason Terry lowered the center of gravity of his body while staring closely at Li Ze. Li Ze noticed the defense of the opponent's parallel feet, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand. Power up, step back and shoot a jumper.

"唰" made a two-pointer and made a steady hit.

"Oh ah!!"

The audience at the scene immediately cheered for Li Ze's goal, and the Thunder finally scored again. Under the leadership of the on-site DJ, they began to loudly cheer for the home team's defense:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

"Good shot! Li Ze is speeding up the offensive rhythm, trying not to give the opponent the opportunity to double-team. Coach Carlisle should make a substitution soon, and he still has to replace Caron Butler."

Seeing Li Ze score again, Yang Yi started blowing immediately.

After the Mavericks' two guards broke out, they immediately began to give the ball to Nowitzki in the low post. Ibaka saw the opponent get the ball and immediately concentrated on it. Ibaka's center of gravity changes.

Holding the ball with his left hand and breaking through the bottom line, Collison's help defense immediately took turns, but Nowitzki was more experienced. He first found his body to fight, and then threw the ball to the basket casually, screaming:
"what!!"

"squeak"

The referee whistled for a foul by Collison, and Nowitzki made two free throws.

"shush"

The audience at the scene were very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty, and huge boos broke out in the entire arena. Coach Brooks also put pressure on the referee on the sidelines to express his dissatisfaction.

Nowitzki looked calm, unaffected by the atmosphere of the scene, stood at the free throw scene, adjusted his breathing, and made two free throws steadily.

Coach Carlisle also took the opportunity to replace Kidd and Caron Butler on the field. The small guard suffered too much on the defensive end. Coach Brooks also replaced Jeff Green and Krstic, and the main players on both sides returned.

For the rest of the second quarter, the Mavericks once again launched a targeted defense. When Li Ze received the ball on the left side, Caron Butler on the line and Nowitzki on the bottom line would quickly pinch, forcing Li Ze out the ball.

Durant on the right side frequently enjoys the treatment of three double-teams, Marion resists, Haywood arrives later, and Kidd will also join the double-team.

This made Durant have to quickly complete the offense every time he received the ball, but tonight his three-pointer misfired, causing the Mavericks' defense to become more aggressive.

Fortunately, Guigui responded in time. Not only did he hit a three-pointer from the outside line, but he also hit a two-point mid-range shot consecutively. The point difference did not continue to widen.

At 57:52, the Thunder temporarily fell behind by 5 points. The audience in the Ford Center looked a little depressed. In the first half, the team got a lot of opportunities on the outside, but they failed to score. In addition, the Mavericks suddenly broke out , just a few minutes later, the team fell behind
During the intermission, in the Sina studio on the other side of the ocean, the host Ke Xiaofan and the guest Yang Yi were also discussing the situation of the first half of the match between the two sides.

"Mr. Yang, do you think the Thunder should adjust their game strategy in the second half and reduce some outside shots?"

"It's actually difficult for the Thunder to adjust. Krstic's finishing ability is like this. You can't expect him to score all of a sudden in the second half. There will definitely be opportunities for double-teams, but the Thunder's weak inside line is completely exposed in this game. out."

"If Kostic can hit the mid-range shot from the free throw line, finish efficiently at the rim, or catch the ball and pass it again, it will be a completely different situation for the Thunder."

"The same is true for Jeff Green. The defensive end can't limit Nowitzki's scoring. If the offensive end can't respond, the Mavericks will completely give up on him and double-team Li Ze and Durant unscrupulously."

When the host Ke Xiaofan heard Yang Yi's comment, his heart sank and he immediately asked again:
"Then what do you think the Thunder should do in the second half? The point difference is not big. I think the Thunder has every chance to bring the game back. The Mavericks shot too accurately in the second quarter, and their shooting percentage will definitely drop after that."

"I think the Thunder must defend first. Sudden misfire on the offensive end is actually a normal phenomenon, but at this time, the team's defense will be tested. As long as the opponent is defended, the game will be played. The Thunder mainly defends in the second quarter. Something went wrong."

"At this time, it's time to change Jeff Green. Bring Ibaka up, defend first, and wait for Durant's touch on the offensive end, and then play a few transition offenses. The boys are emotional, and maybe the problem will be solved. solved."

Yang Yi chuckled, his comment was two-sided, and he won the true biography of Director Zhang. Ke Xiaofan didn't know how to answer the conversation, so he had to change the subject and say:
"Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your comments. During the intermission, you can watch the short video we prepared first. They are all about Li Ze's wonderful goals in the regular season!"

The Thunder team was in the locker room. Everyone was in a low mood at this time. Although the point difference was not big, the feeling of touch really hurt morale. Jeff Green said very remorsefully:
"Sorry Bro, I should have made all those wide open [-]s, we would have been ahead by a long shot!"

Of course Durant wanted to support his supporters at this time, and immediately said:
"Green, you consume too much on the defensive end, and it's normal not to make shots. I will definitely respond in the second half!"

"Our handling of the ball is still too impatient. The Mavericks' zone defense cooperates tacitly. I think we should pass the ball more and mobilize their defense thoroughly, instead of trying to end the offense after two or three passes."

Li Ze played very depressed in the first half. Although he knew that not every teammate could observe the defense and pass the ball calmly, but many times after he played the ball, it was a meat bun hitting a dog, and there was no return. This made him very painful, it was only a 5-point difference, and everyone played too impatiently.

Guigui played the best in the first half, and he has scored 16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 turnover efficiently. Basically, he seized all the opportunities that came up. Seeing that everyone was depressed, he immediately comforted him :
"Don't worry, the physical fitness of the old guys is not as good as ours. Their defensive strength will definitely drop in the second half!"

After Coach Brooks entered the locker room, he immediately sent chicken soup for everyone:
"We're just halftime behind. We haven't played hard yet. There are still two quarters to go. We can easily get back the score. The offense in the first half is also good. Believe me, the Mavericks' shooting percentage will also drop. "

"In the second half we need to defend with all our strength, just like in the first game, we have to press their ball holders, we have to play more patiently, Ibaka, Krstic, you two need to stand more in the second half. Two elbows."

"We can play more hand-to-hand passes to mobilize the opponent's defense more. At the same time, we should also expand the offensive space on the field and increase some breakthroughs. Don't forget, we are a younger team."

After saying these words, head coach Brooks began to draw tactical diagrams on the whiteboard, and the assistant coach also reminded:

"The Mavericks defended our two wings very tightly, but some long two points can sometimes solve a lot of problems. At the same time, Russell, once you break into the opponent's paint area, you must pay attention to Marion's defense. Now, once the opponent shrinks, you can pass the ball to Kevin."

"The opponent pays great attention to the protection of the basket. Therefore, you must observe the opponent's defensive position during the breakthrough, find those fleeting opportunities, receive the pass from the outside, and shoot decisively!"

Hearing what the assistant coach said, Li Ze nodded subconsciously. Originally, he seldom made two-point shots, and he was only one step away. It is more cost-effective to shoot three-pointers. For mid-range shots, the shooting near the waist has a higher hit rate. will be higher.

But in this game, the Mavericks almost stepped on the three-point line to defend him, and once they broke through to the waist, the opponent would quickly attack him. I have to admit that at this time, two points can really solve the problem. Defensively, I secretly thought:

"Perhaps, it's time to change the offensive strategy."

After the start of the third quarter, the audience in the Ford Center Arena also adjusted their emotions. The difference was only 3 points. They believed that their home team would soon overtake the score. In the first round, they began to shout loudly for the home team's defense:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

For the Thunder's oppressive defense, the Mavericks were already prepared. Dampier immediately came to the line to pick and roll, using his big body to help Kidd temporarily get rid of the entanglement of the tortoise. Down immediately.

After using his own body to carry Krstic away, he just wanted to put the basket, but was interfered by Ibaka who came to help defend, and the basket failed to finish. The Thunder took the lead in making adjustments in the second half, and Ibaka directly appeared on the court.

The Mavericks retreated quickly. Turtle noticed that there was no chance to change the offense, and slowly dribbled across the half court. Seeing that the opponent was still in the 23 zone defense, he immediately signaled Ibaka to come to the free throw line for a pick and roll. Seeing Nowitzki's The defense followed suit, and Guigui immediately passed the ball to Li Ze on the left.

After catching the ball, Li Ze quickly took a tentative step to the right, and suddenly exerted force on his feet, holding the ball in his left hand and making a cross-step breakthrough. Just one step past the three-point line, he immediately stopped and shot a jumper.

"Shua" scored two points easily.

Caron Butler had no time to follow up and could only watch Li Ze shoot in front of him
"what!!"

Although it was not a three-pointer, the audience immediately cheered for the goal, and the difference was only three points!Everyone frantically flicked the white handkerchiefs in their hands.

After scoring the goal, Li Ze looked at the stunned Caron Butler, and immediately laughed loudly and said:

"On the next possession, I'm still going to shoot here! Come on, man!"

When Caron Butler heard Li Ze pretending to be X, a small flame rose in his heart. Do you think you are Larry Bird?
The score was approaching, and the Thunder's defense was also active. When he saw Nowitzki receiving the ball in the low post again, Durant immediately stepped forward to double-team, and Nowitzki quickly passed the ball to Marion who came in from the outside. , the latter was just about to come up, and Ibaka, who reacted quickly, jumped up to interfere again.

The layup under the interference of "Bang" directly hit the basket's neck
Durant struggled to protect the backcourt rebound. At this time, the Mavericks had quickly returned to defense and lost the opportunity to switch offense. Turtle, who dribbled the ball across the half court, once again made an offensive gesture to his teammates, and then passed the ball directly. To Durant.

At this time, Krstic quickly raised up to pretend to be a pick-and-roll, and noticed that Dampier was also following. Durant immediately gave the ball to the turtle at the top of the arc. The Mavericks' defensive rotation also changed accordingly, and the turtle kept the ball. , and then pass the ball to Li Ze.

At the same time, Ibaka also came over to pretend to be a pick-and-roll. After receiving the ball, Li Ze quickly released the ball, in and out with his right hand, and suddenly changed direction in front of his body, shaking off Caron Butler's defense again. In the same position, the long Two-point pull-up jump shot.

"Shua" two-pointer hollow into the net
"what!!"

Li Ze's shot ignited the emotions of the audience. After scoring the goal, the point difference was only one point. Everyone vented their excitement heartily and kept shouting loudly.

Coach Carlisle on the sidelines could only shake his head helplessly when he saw Li Ze scoring such long two-pointers in a row. He couldn't ask his players to do more. The team's defense was fine, but Li Ze just throw the ball in
Caron Butler only felt humiliated at this time, and the anger in his heart surged. After the Mavericks' offensive round, Li Ze did not press the opponent firmly. He noticed that Caron Butler received a pass from Kidd from the outside. After the ball, he deliberately took a small step.

This kind of defensive action also made Caron Butler completely over the top. He quickly released the ball with his right hand, dribbled the ball under his crotch and changed direction in front of his body, and accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand. My own movements are a little out of control.
But Caron Butler still insisted on completing the attack. Under Li Ze's interference, he stepped back and shot a jumper.

"Bang" hit an iron with anger.

The rebound was protected by Krstic, and as soon as it was passed to Turtle, the Thunder quickly launched a transition attack. Noticing that Durant had already crossed the half court, Turtle quickly made a long pass to find the opponent.

After receiving the ball, Durant accelerated crazily, 1-on-0 in the frontcourt, strode up, and made a powerful one-arm dunk!

"Kang" converted and dunked successfully.

The Thunder overtook the score, and the audience started shouting wildly!Come on, come on, the conversion attack has finally come out!
In the next few minutes, Li Ze kept thinking about Caron Butler's defense:

"I will continue to shoot here, you must defend well!"

"Good job man, God may not see your misfortune, and finally let me miss a shot here."

"Cool! This time you were almost on guard against me!"

Caron Butler was nearly lifted to heaven by Li Ze's endless trash talk, but he could only shout helplessly and furiously:

"Shut up, rookie!"

After shouting this sentence, after two or three rounds, Li Ze continued to score two long points in front of him. This time in the Thunder's offense, Li Ze quickly crossed and broke through after receiving the ball, quickly pulled back with his left hand, and adjusted The pace directly came to a double-step jumper.

"唰" "啪"

"squeak"

The referee blew the whistle and added penalties. Li Ze came up with a 3+1. When Caron Butler heard the whistle, he was furious and yelled at the referee:
"He walked, the ball definitely walked, you should go and watch the replay!"

Seeing that Li Ze was still arrogantly throwing his hands at him, Caron Bart completely broke the defense, and yelled at Li Ze and the referee:
"Fucking rookie! Blind referee, Fuck! This is the Western Conference semifinals! You ruined this game!"

After the trash talk, he still felt that it was not enough to relieve his anger, so he stepped forward and pushed Li Ze down. Just as he was about to continue to fight, the players on both sides rushed up quickly, and the two sides were torn together immediately, and the scene became extremely chaotic
The audience at the Ford Center Arena saw the scene in a mess, and immediately screamed excitedly. The referee saw that something was wrong, and hurried forward to pull the two sides apart.

Li Ze, who returned to the bench, chuckled. The other party's actions, coupled with insulting the referee, probably had to leave the field early. Sure enough, after the referee repeatedly watched the replay, he immediately made a penalty.

"After repeated confirmation by the technical desk, the No. 4 player of the Dallas Mavericks, Caron Butler, committed a first-degree malicious foul, provoked the referee, and was expelled!"

Coach Carlisle was very dissatisfied immediately. He knew that once Caron Butler, the outside defensive leader, was lost, the Mavericks' defensive system would instantly collapse.
But unfortunately, the referee did not intend to change the sentence, and this penalty completely determined the trend of the game.

When the game progressed to the fourth quarter, Jason Terry, who had no choice but to play, faced the Thunder's outside attack, and the defensive end was almost useless. The Thunder finally relied on the outstanding performance of the trio and struggled to keep the home court.

At 94:100, the audience at the Ford Center began to wildly celebrate this hard-won victory. Li Ze, who was sitting on the bench, sighed silently in his heart:
"It's so difficult to win at home? What about away games?"
