The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 136
Nowitzki turned around, tricked Li Pu into laying up and scored, and the point difference was narrowed to 3 points.

Game [-] was back in Oklahoma City.

At this time, the game has entered the fourth quarter, the score is 99:96, and the Thunder temporarily leads by 3 points.

In fact, the Thunder led the Mavericks by a full 13 points at most tonight.

It's a pity that it was gradually eroded by the Mavericks after that, and now it is only a mere 3 points, a score that can be chased back in one round.

Westbrook brought the ball to the frontcourt. At this time, it was only 4 points before the end of the game, and it had already entered the decisive moment.

In terms of the Thunder's lineup, except for replacing Sefolosha with Harden, no one else has changed.

This is already the Thunder's strongest offensive lineup.

After looking around, neither Durant nor Harden had a good chance.

The Thunder's five minors played very well tonight, scoring more than 15 points, so the Mavericks' defense is very tight.

Seeing this, Westbrook could only choose to come by himself.

The layup after the breakthrough was interfered by Nowitzki and the rebound was protected by Chandler. The Mavericks finally got a chance to tie the score.

Kidd slowly came to the frontcourt with the ball, and Nowitzki went up to play a pick-and-roll with Kidd.

To defend Kidd, there is no need to squeeze through the pick-and-roll man, just bypass it.

After all, Kidd can't attack. Could it be that he dared to shoot a three-pointer directly?
However, Kidd really dared to vote!
Seeing Westbrook defending from behind Nowitzki, Li Pu also stared closely at Nowitzki, and Kidd directly chose a three-pointer!
"Shh!"

A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops meet!

No one thought that Kidd made a three-pointer for the Mavericks to tie the game!
"No!!!"

Kidd's shot gave all Thunder fans in the arena a chill.

Of course there is still time, and it was only a draw, but it is frustrating to look at it after leading a whole game.

However, more frustrating is yet to come.

Lip gave Durant a pick-and-roll and helped Durant successfully create an excellent shooting opportunity, but Durant actually missed the shot in this almost open situation!
The rebound was protected by the Mavericks, the possession of the ball was switched, and the Thunder handed over the initiative to the Mavericks.

Kidd brought the ball to the frontcourt again. This time Westbrook was concentrating and did not dare to give Kidd the slightest shooting space.

Who would have thought that if you didn't attack well, why would you still attack?
When did you learn this bad habit?
Westbrook's oppressive defense is not very effective in front of Kidd.

Although Kidd is old and has slow legs, his strength is not weak. Facing Westbrook's confrontation, he did not lose the wind at all, and he was able to control the ball with ease.

And at this moment, Nowitzki finally made his move. When the most dangerous man in the Mavericks made his move, he naturally worried about the hearts of all the Thunder players in the audience.

Among them, Li Pu is undoubtedly the one who cares the most. Who made him the one who defends Nowitzki!
Tonight's Li Pu finally experienced Ibaka's pain.

Since Li Pu defended Nowitzki, Nowitzki has performed quite well in these three games, averaging less than 30 points per game.

Originally, Li Pu thought that this would limit Nowitzki, but no one thought that tonight Nowitzki was in a terrible state. No matter how Li Pu defended, Nowitzki would be able to put the ball in. basket.

At this time, Nowitzki has scored 36 points, and he is about to go to 40+ again!

In this regard, Li Pu now attaches great importance to Nowitzki. This level of attention has never been seen since Li Pu entered the NBA!

The only thing that can be compared is Li Pu's attention to An Jiali's new technical moves when he is at a disadvantage when he is playing wild!

Kidd handed the ball to Nowitzki. Because it was outside the three-point line, Nowitzki held the ball and faced Li Pu.

To be honest, although Nowitzki's face-up technique is also very good, it is far less terrible than his back-up technique.

After all, limited by his physical talent and speed, Nowitzki's first step is far less powerful than his turning skills.

But for a player with excellent shooting ability, his shooting skills more than make up for the slow first step.

Just like Nowitzki in front of you, put on a shooting posture, can you guard against it?

Li Puming knew that this was probably a fake move, but he didn't dare to bet, because Nowitzki would probably follow his plan and vote directly.

Sure enough, after Li Pu took off, Nowitzki received the ball and began to break through, breaking through Li Pu's defense in an instant.

The breakthrough of a top pitcher is so easy!

If you change to someone who can't shoot, even if you keep shooting for a day, other people's feet may not be one centimeter off the ground.

Li Pu, who knew that he was overwhelmed, quickly turned back to chase, but it was too late. Nowitzki took a step forward and directly chose a mid-range jumper.

The arc of the basketball is so high that it once made people think that it was going to hit Superman. After flying to the highest point, it slowly fell, and the basketball was hollow into the net!
At 101:99, with 26 seconds left before the end of the game, Nowitzki made a key shot. This was the first time the Mavericks led the Thunder in this game. It was also the closest to winning the game and entering the finals a ball.

The big score at this time was already 3:1, and the Thunder still had nowhere to retreat, and there was an abyss behind them. As long as they took another step back, their journey to this year's playoffs would end early.

Brooks called a timeout, ready to arrange the final attack.

No one wants to just give up!
"Next, their defensive focus must be on..."

After a timeout, Ibaka made a sideline kick.

At this time, the four Thunder players were all on the court, and Durant was accompanied by at least two people. The Mavericks guarded Durant strictly. Of course, any team would do this at this moment!

Seeing that there was no chance for Durant, Ibaka looked at Westbrook again. At this time, Westbrook was also being dragged by Kidd. Who would have thought that the old Kidd would burst out with infinite vitality at this time, dream Back to youth, he was able to keep up with Westbrook.

In this case, Ibaka finally chose to hand the ball to Harden.

This is an unexpected and reasonable choice. Although Harden is only a sixth man, his offensive ability is beyond doubt, and his three-point ability is second only to Durant on the court, and he is also a big-hearted player. Contributed a lore in the season.

After receiving the ball, Harden made consecutive crossovers and successfully shook Stevenson away. Then Harden did not choose to break through, but directly chose to shoot.

This guy doesn't want two points but three points, he clearly wants to kill!

The Mavericks players went into cardiac arrest, and everyone was taken aback by his sudden shot.

"boom!"

But it's a pity that the basketball went out of the basket and didn't go in!
Just when the fans at the scene were desperate, Li Pu fell from the sky, and through Chandler, he dialed the ball into the basket!
Absolutely flat!Li Pu's tip-up completed a perfect tie!
The two teams came to the same starting line again, but unfortunately, it was returned to the Mavericks, leaving 13 seconds.

This is enough for the Mavericks to kill!
