I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 396 If you want to blame, blame Coach Jackson, it's all because you are used to sleeping!
"Chasing 6 points in one quarter, the advantage lies with the Mavericks, the question is..."

In the third quarter, Nowitzki went off the assembly line early, allowing Carlisle to make a plan for a rich battle.

The attack lineup of Heywood, Nowitzki, Stojakovic, Terry and Barea was discharged.

But for the Lakers, they can only line up the rotation of Bynum, Odom, Matt Barnes, Shannon Brown and Blake.

"The Lakers need to stay up for 4 or 5 minutes before coaching the main players to reap the fruits of the game.

During this period, it happened to be a good time for the Mavericks to chase points. If the Lakers survived, the Mavericks would be in danger!
But if the Lakers can't grasp it, the danger is the Lakers..."

At this moment in the fight, the core main players of both sides have lost a lot of physical fitness. It is obviously impossible for the concubine to fight through the last quarter.

Now there is and only, who can gain the upper hand in the rotation of the two sides?

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Nowitzki caught the ball, challenged Odom's defense, and scored two points with a precise jumper.

Only 4 points left.

Next, the Mavericks' defense continued to shrink, and a zone defense was set up, continuing to test the Lakers' long-range shooting ability.

"The two strengths of Bynum and Odom have no chance at all, and the Lakers can only compete with outside shooting.

Shannon Brown hits a [-]-point jump shot against Terry's block..."

Bang-dang-!
Iron! !
"Shannon Brown's three points sent.

Next, let's see if the Mavericks' offense can continue.

what?
Barea simply broke through and scored the ball, the basketball flew into Stojakovic's hands, caught the ball, jumped up, and also made a three-point jump shot..."

Swish-!
"Hit it, the Mavericks hit a [-], Stojakovic hit it right.

First, Su Bei in the third quarter, followed by Stojakovic in the fourth quarter, the Lakers want to compete with the Mavericks in jump shooting ability, they are simply courting death..."

Shannon Brown and Stojakovic's shooting skills, the difference is not a billion points, it is very likely to be a dimension.

However, the Lakers have that kind of temperament, dare to show their swords, and are not afraid to compete with the Mavericks for jump shots.

Seeing the next round, the Mavericks' defense continued to play music and then contracted, and the Lakers were not used to them.

"Matt Barnes was completely emptied, received a pass from Blake, raised his hand and tried a three-point jumper..."

Bang-dang-!
Try it and you'll die!

Matt Barnes is a defensive blue-collar guy who can only defend but can't shoot.

However, there is no compulsion, so I will go when I have the opportunity.

"If you want to blame, you can blame the coach Jackson, because the Zen master is used to sleeping.

This is his coaching style. Role players have a lot of performances. Often in big scenes, those role players who usually get a role to train will often have amazing performances...

However, tonight, the role players of the Lakers were collectively eclipsed.

Instead of showing their bright side, they are wasting opportunities..."

The basic operations of the role players of the Lakers failed to succeed, but the Mavericks' star battle was very impressive.

"Nowitzki's three-pointer is to teach the Lakers what a shot is.

Lift the ball, aim, shoot, and there..."

Nowitzki continued the Mavericks' three-point firepower and led the team to an 8-0 offensive to achieve a lead in the score.

The Mavericks' counterattack was very brave, but the Lakers did not panic. My son looks like a king... no, it's because my Lakers look like a champion.

In the past two or three years, the Lakers have made a lot of money. I have never seen such a storm. The one who wins in the end is not my lake?
I have to say that at this moment, the Lakers players have a heart of steel for winning and will not be easily shaken. No matter how aggressive the Mavericks are, just let the bullets fly for a while.

Sure enough, this kind of "bastard" momentum really works sometimes.

"Bynum hit hard with the ball, hit a jumper from close range, hit the iron and missed.

Odom jumped up, slammed the offensive rebound, and passed the ball to Barnes who cut to the hoop, dribbled the ball to the basket, thumped, and scored two points..."

The Lakers scored and tied the score.

The Mavericks' flaws also worked. The problem of protecting rebounds is still too difficult, they can't!
Bang-dang-!
Stojakovic continued to bet on three-pointers, but the basket would not get used to him, and the basketball bounced wide.

Subsequently, Nowitzki missed two points.

In the end, it was the Lakers' offense. With Bynum's strong hit to the basket, he caused a defensive foul and got two free throw opportunities. And, Bynum seized it and made two free throws.

The Lakers regained the lead in the score.

"That's the way jump-shooting teams are, they rely too much on the feel of the shot.

If the feel is not accurate for a while, you can only watch the sky to eat.

The Lakers are quite different. Seeing that they miss three-pointers from the outside, they frequently hit the inside. Scoring looks difficult, but the victory is safe..."

Steady there?

The question is that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate. This is an undeniable truth that Lu Xun said.

Although next, the Mavericks' jumper was able to score some good shots, but the Lakers have stabilized.

Five minutes later, the two sides played very anxiously, the point difference was swaying within 5 points, and no one could do anything to the opponent.

Off the court, both Coach Jackson and Coach Carlisle had a tacit understanding of not making adjustments, as if whoever made the first move would be at a disadvantage.

In this way, another 30 seconds later, when Odom used a mid-range shot and scored two points to help the Lakers maintain a 2-point lead, and when there were 6 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game, Jackson took the lead in making adjustments.

In his opinion, more than 6 points, with Kobe's physical fitness, is enough to take over the rest of the game.

Bryant and Gasol, back on the court.

Miraculously, Carlisle also made adjustments, and the adjustments were somewhat inexplicable.

"Nowitzki rested off the court, it seems that he wanted to let this big killer rest for a few minutes, and then re-entered the court to reap the game.

Subei, Marion, Chandler and Kidd are back on the court, the Mavericks need to strengthen their defense, withstand Kobe's offensive firepower for a few minutes, and last until Nowitzki's return..."

"The Mavericks attacked the ball, Kidd dribbled the ball to the top arc, clicked Terry's card, dribbled through, and after being flanked, Terry didn't wave and gave the ball to Subei.

Catch the ball, jump up, raise your hand and make a two-point jump shot..."

Swish-!
Artest didn't play, and Barnes couldn't keep up with Su Bei at all.

Su Bei made a sneak attack on the field and helped the Mavericks tie the score.

However, looking back, Kobe also showed off a superstar attitude.

"Catch the ball, step forward with three threats, dribble a breakthrough, make an emergency stop and pull up the ball, and raise your hand to make a two-point fadeaway jumper..."

There is nothing wrong with Marion's defensive action, but it is useless. The superstar just doesn't make sense, so you can't stand it.

Swish-!
"Kobe, Kobe, Kobe!!

Scoring two points on the field, this is the winning formula for the Lakers.

Put that damn basketball into Kobe's hands..."

In the arena, there were even voices calling Kobe Bryant MVP.

The Mavericks attack, Terry is the least used to this kind of atmosphere, he likes to make trouble, one step away from the three-point line, pulls up the ball, raises his hand, it is a three-point jumper...

Kobe just stretched out his hand, and there was nothing he could do about Terry's blind throwing. He could only bet that there was no bullet in his three-point pistol.

Bang-dang-!
Terry's three points sent.

The critical moment is too messy.

"The Lakers grabbed the rebound and fought back, and the Mavericks, by pressing, dragged the rhythm of the game to a positional battle.

However, Kobe got the basketball again, the Mavericks changed their defense, and Su Bei went out to watch the defense.

Sure enough, it was a teammate who had played with Kobe for three years, and Su Bei started the snake tactic and let it go one step further.

How would Kobe choose?

Huh?
Instead of a solid mid-range two-pointer, Kobe shot a three-pointer in a fit of anger..."

Since Su Bei released the snake, he was ready to be shot.

However, Kobe just dawdled outside and didn't shoot in.

Bang-dang-!
"Kobe missed the [-]!!
For him, three-pointers will always be a problem for him, he won't! !
The ball was a bit unsteady.

Obviously the Lakers have a good chance to kill the game, but when testing their three-point shooting ability, they always fail to shoot..."

Artest's two three-pointers in the third quarter, Kobe's three-pointer after a steal, and the fourth quarter, this time the Lakers have hope for the three-pointer and firmly control the rhythm of the game , but several times of three-pointers were sent.

As long as the Lakers can hit one of the three-pointers, the game will not be so anxious.

"The Mavericks made substitution adjustments, and Nowitzki reappeared after resting for more than 1 minute, preparing to shrink the next 5 minutes.

The Lakers also made adjustments, replacing Artest and Fisher, and the main players of both sides had a decisive battle in the last 5 minutes..."

Swish-!
Just back on the court, Nowitzki seemed to have a microwave oven in his hands. Under Gasol's defense, he hit a strong fadeaway jumper.

The score continued to tie.

Bang-dang-!
This time, Kobe chose two points, but Su Bei predicted the action, and with Kidd's help defense, of course, the most important thing is that Kobe lost his touch and his mid-range was not stable.

"Artest made great achievements. He strictly coached the rebounding triangle in the triangle offensive tactics. He rushed to the basket and grabbed the offensive rebound. After landing, he immediately turned around and made a jump shot to make up the knife..."

Bang-dang-!
Still missed.

Artest wanted to be a hero, but he became a crouching dragon. The ball can be stabilized, but Artest's head is obviously hot.

After all, the Lakers' defense is pretty good. They don't know how to attack, and the Mavericks don't know how to attack.

After playing a few rounds of iron, it was finally Kobe who broke the game. He dribbled the ball and forced a layup in the counterattack, sent the basketball to the basket, and caused a foul by Subei's thugs, and an additional free throw.

"At the critical moment, Kobe scored 2+1 and played like a superstar.

This time, Su Bei's defense was still on the side of the Lakers.

Who would have thought that the Lakers would have a good chance of winning, and they would have to rely on Su Bei's assist..."

Swish-!
Kobe was not relentless at the critical moment, and made the free throw he got from Su Bei steadily.

With 3 minutes left in the game, the Lakers still lead by 3 points.

"The Mavericks attacked, and Kidd decided to go up and play Fisher with the ball. Obviously, Fisher couldn't stand it, so he could only fight and retreat. Bynum rushed to help defend, and Kidd showed his passing ability. , threw the basketball to the basket, and Chandler was already flying..."

Bang-dang-!
Chandler slams the dunk with both hands, and his whole body hangs from the southeast corner.

"At the critical moment, Kidd played more and more monsters and sent an inspiring assist.

This wave of alley-oop slam dunks gave the Mavericks the confidence to win.

The gap between the two sides is only 1 point.

The Lakers had the ball and played very patiently. Kobe held the ball until the last 10 seconds before dribbling the ball to break through the offense. Su Bei fought and retreated without losing his position.

Kobe turned around, hit his back, shook his shoulders, turned around and pulled the ball up, raised his hand and made a two-point fadeaway jump shot..."

Su Bei was shaken, so he could only try to make defensive moves, and then listened to Kobe's pistol go off.

Bang-dang-!
"Come back to life, Kobe's condition has slipped down.

Next, for the Mavericks to overtake, Nowitzki, who is the most stable, will make a jump shot..."

Bang-dang-!
Nowitzki also softened at critical moments.

"Every goal in the game is very important, and the big players on both sides did not seize the opportunity.

The Lakers had the ball, Fisher took the ball to the frontcourt and observed it.

Huh?
what happened?

Fisher suddenly pulled the ball up, raised his hand and made a three-point pull-up jump shot..."

Kidd was caught off guard. Moreover, Fisher was half a step away from the three-point line. He obviously had thoughts of hell, and he couldn't prevent this kind of sneak attack at all.

Bang-dang-!
"Neither did Fisher, an old fish with a big heart at the critical moment, and his three-point sneak attack also failed to score.

rebound?

Odom stepped up, grabbed the offensive rebound aggressively, landed the ball to Gasol, empty, and shot a two-point jumper from close range.

have? "

"Kangdang——!
Still not, Gasol also softened and missed an excellent opportunity to make up the knife.

The Mavs dodged disaster.

No, this is Chandler's beautiful blocking block, which is the result of the Mavericks' defense.

Next, look at the Mavericks' offense.

Kidd dribbled the ball to the top arc, passed the ball to Su Bei, and dribbled the ball in to break through. After being carried by Artest, Subei immediately passed it back to Kidd.

After getting the ball, Kidd passed the ball to Nowitzki, broke through with the ball, was also blocked, passed it back to Kidd, and immediately passed the ball to Marion.

Huh?
Marion dribbled the ball back to Gasol, went in, turned around and made a layup...

what?
With..."

"Beautiful goal, Marion, it was Marion, he hit Gasol and scored two key points.

This is the horror of the Mavericks, everyone can play, until the last shot, no one knows who will attack..."

In the second minute of the game, Marion's goal helped the Mavericks achieve a lead in the score.

However, more than 10 seconds passed, and Kobe immediately returned to the offense.

"Three threats to explore, speed up to break through, pass Su Bei, pull the pole to the basket..."

Swish-!
Relying on his personal ability, Kobe penetrated the entire defense line of the Mavericks and blasted down the giant planet strongly.

"The Mavericks' ability to protect the rim is still far from enough.

Chandler's physical talent is enough, but his skills are too rough to withstand Kobe's superb offensive skills.

The Lakers came back again. "

"The Mavericks attack, the whole team pulls down, and the ball goes to Dirk Nowitzki.

Catch the ball, dribble and drive, post up, turn over and lean back for a two-point shot..."

Gasol also couldn't stand it.

Swish-!
At the critical moment, Nowitzki hardened up, and instead of just lingering outside, he shot in.

The lead became the Mavericks.

"Next, let's look at Kobe's performance and the competition between the two masters.

He took the ball to the frontcourt, delayed for a while, and then hit Su Bei with his back, and when he got to a comfortable position, Kidd rushed over to help defend.

Kobe didn't pass the ball, turned around and pulled the ball up. Su Bei predicted Kobe's movement and completely blocked his shooting space.

Bryant jumped up, with no room for a shot, and chose to pass the ball in the air.

Subei defended well, Kobe changed his shot in the air, Kidd broke off the basketball, rushed up to fight back, and passed the ball to Nowitzki, Fisher couldn't grab it, so he chose to foul..."

Swish-!
Swish-!
Withstood the boos of the fans, Nowitzki did not relent, and made two free throws steadily.

"With 21 seconds left in the game, the Lakers trail by 3 and have the ball.

For the last offense, let's see how the Lakers proceed. Do they grab two points and foul again, or take a [-]-point bet and drag the game into overtime? "

"Both sides made substitutions and adjustments, the game restarted, Fisher took the ball to the frontcourt, and Su Bei refused to catch the ball for Kobe.

Kobe had to catch the ball life and death. At a critical moment, Kidd fouled and interrupted the Lakers' offense.

At this point, there are only 8 seconds left for the Lakers..."

In the critical last 8 seconds, Kobe felt that the whole team was playing him. Fisher passed the ball to Gasol, just for a transition. Unexpectedly, Gasol made a mistake at a critical moment and the basketball was cut off by Kidd.

"It's Kidd again. At the critical moment, he showed his old monster's true colors, and used his IQ and defensive skills to destroy the Lakers' offense.

The Lakers had no choice but to choose to foul and send Kidd to the free throw line for free throws..."

At this time, there were only 3 seconds left for the Lakers, and they were behind by 3 points, but Van Kidd hit a free throw, and the Lakers were basically hopeless.

Bang-dang-!
Ji did not attack and was still uneasy in the end, and the first free throw was hit.

Fortunately, he took a deep breath and made the second free throw. Kidd did not miss again and made the free throw steadily.

The point difference became 4 points, and the Lakers wanted to chase 3 points in 4 seconds, but they were basically unable to recover.

Bang-dang-!
Om-!
Along with Kobe's three-pointer, the buzzer sounded at the same time, and the game time ended.

With a score of 99 to 96, the Mavericks lost first and then won. With a 3-point advantage, they narrowly beat the Lakers and took a 1-0 lead.

Nowitzki made 22 of 11 shots, 3 of 2 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, 29 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists. He played the king of Nowitzki and performed well.

Subei made 16 of 8 shots, 11 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 23 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

Plus, Chandler's 11 points and 9 rebounds, Marion's 10 points and 4 rebounds, Kidd's 11 assists and 7 points, Stojakovic's 10 points, Terry's 9 points...

The Mavericks played double stars, but they were full of stars.

For the Lakers, Kobe made 30 of 15 shots, 9 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 4 free throws, 38 points, 0 assists and 5 rebounds. He took the appearance of a superstar, but was played by the teammates of the whole team.

Gasol made 10 of 5 shots, 6 of 5 free throws, scored 15 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists in a quasi-triple-double performance. There are only two people.

阿泰斯特8中1，拜纳姆8中3，费舍尔6中2，巴恩斯6中2，香农布朗6中2……

There are too many crouching dragons and young phoenixes around Kobe, and it is not wrong to lose.
