Almighty legend life

Chapter 727 Staples' Sigh
The 03-04 season was full of ups and downs for the fans of the Lakers. At the beginning of the season, there was news that China Liu would return to the NBA. Liu Han's return was not ushered in, and even the meritorious coach George Krent, who led the team and almost created a dynasty, left.

The next advantage is the joining of Malone and Payton, which makes Lakers fans have greater expectations. After all, in the eyes of ordinary fans, even though Malone and Payton are very old, they are both legendary superstars. The team will prosper, but it is a pity that the team's performance at the beginning of the season is not ideal. Very suitable for the current Lakers.

However, in the middle of the season, the team regained some of its previous glory. Although it has been suppressed by the Mavericks, the team still reached the second place in the league. The old fans of the Lakers burst into tears, but the team's state took a turn for the worse after the All-Star Game. The team was plagued by injuries, and its performance also declined quickly, being surpassed by the Timberwolves and the Spurs.

In the playoffs, the Lakers let the fans see hope again. They reached the Western Conference Finals without much effort. They met the Mavericks led by the Chinese who led the team to create new glory. Throughout the season, the fans of the Lakers were like Like riding a roller coaster, looking forward to the arrival of the championship in the ups and downs.

This game is like the epitome of the Lakers' season. They start badly, catch up, and then encounter problems and continue to catch up.

However, after the start of the third quarter, the situation on the field suddenly changed dramatically. The Mavericks suddenly went out of order at the beginning of the third quarter. Players made mistakes one after another, and their shooting percentage suddenly dropped. It seemed that Staples finally began to take care of the home team. .

Although Liu Han is still omnipotent on the offensive end, but his teammates are not strong enough. The main players such as Dirk Nowitzki, Odom and Jamison suddenly think that they will not be able to play. They will suddenly lose the ball in a simple offense. Odo Mu even staged a farce of dribbling the ball to his feet and popping out of the sideline.

The Lakers took the opportunity to play a 14-5 offensive wave, narrowing the point difference to two points in one fell swoop.

O'Neal became the initiator of the Lakers chasing the score at the beginning of the third quarter. He first missed Nowitzki's shots consecutively in defense, and then scored Nowitzki's two plus one in offense, resulting in The opponent committed his fourth personal foul less than 4 minutes into the third quarter.

The fans of Staples began to be excited. They saw the opportunity to lead and beat Liu Han. The fans of the Lakers hoped that Liu Han would regret his choice to join the Mavericks.

Nelson called a timeout five minutes into the third quarter, and the team is now completely out of shape.

After the timeout, Nelson boldly replaced most of the main players, and Liu Han led a group of substitutes to deal with the Lakers. Three rookies Korver, Xue Yuyang and Josh Howard all made their appearances.

Although being young sometimes means lack of experience, it also means that they will not be afraid. Young people are more impactful in the game, and they dare to shoot. This is the most important spirit that Nelson gave to the young people of the team.

Driven by Liu Han, a group of young Mavericks and the Lakers were evenly matched, while Nelson on the sidelines was mercilessly reprimanding the main players who were replaced.

In the rest of the third quarter, the Mavericks responded to the game with a semi-substitute lineup. Fortunately, they were not overtaken by the Lakers.

The Mavericks entered the fourth quarter final battle with a narrow two-point lead.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Liu Han came off the court to take a rest, and the Lakers also came off the bench. At this time, Nelson replaced some of the main players who were replaced in the third quarter, and the Mavericks once again began to take advantage.

After some reprimands from Nelson, the main players of the Mavericks who returned to the court played proactively. Nowitzki relied on his golden rooster independent trick to score over the head of the Lakers substitute Medvedenko. The Ukrainian scored in less than 3 minutes. Three fouls were lost within the time limit, and the Lakers had to replace O'Neal and others in advance.

The main players of the Lakers returned early, Nelson did not dare to be careless, and immediately dispatched Liu Han, the decisive battle between the two teams came ahead of schedule.

The Lakers paid attention to their fouls in this game. After the decisive battle, they began to use fouls to interrupt the offensive rhythm of the Mavericks, and the Mavericks also began to use the "shark-cutting" tactic. The fourth quarter of the game began to become long And boring.

The scores of the two sides began to take the lead alternately. The Lakers even led the Mavericks by three points, but Liu Han used the three-pointer to equalize again.

The Mavericks led the Lakers by two points in the final five minutes of the fourth quarter.

The game has completely entered the white heat stage, and the voices of the Staples fans are much quieter. They are all eagerly looking forward to the final result.

With 3 minutes left in the game, the Mavericks suffered a blow. Nowitzki was fouled for rebounding and he was sent off for six fouls. The Mavericks lost their only inside pillar and important scoring point.

O'Neal made two magical free throws and helped the Lakers widen the point difference to four points. The situation became extremely unfavorable for the Mavericks. Staples cheered again, because the Lakers fans saw the dawn of victory .

At the last moment, Liu Han reincarnated as the savior, just like he defeated the Jazz in tiebreaker in his rookie season.

In the last 3 minutes, Liu Han carried the Mavericks on his shoulders alone. In the defense, he successfully blocked O'Neal's dunk, and then made a three-pointer. Although the Lakers scored two points again by Malone , but then Liu Han once again forcibly hit a three-pointer across the double defense of Finley and Payton. The double reverse tied 50 with less than 109 seconds left in the game.

The Lakers called a long timeout, and Phil Jackson arranged two sets of tactics to face what might be the last chance to attack.

The Lakers played this offense very patiently. Although their physical strength was close to exhaustion, the players still tried their best to run and cover.

The Mavericks also defended the Lakers' offense very seriously, and they hardly showed any gaps for the Lakers.

When the 24-second offensive time was about to end, the Lakers forced Finley to make a mid-range shot. Unfortunately, the ball bounced out of the basket, but O'Neal miraculously grabbed the rebound and scored the ball in a second attack. The Lakers forced the Mavericks The edge of the cliff.

Nelson also called a timeout, but he only said one word to the players during the timeout, which was to hand over the last attack to Liu Han.

With the last 24 seconds left in the game, the Mavericks probably only have one shot left.

After Liu Han received the pass from the sideline, he stabilized the ball. His heart was clear, and all his thoughts were thrown away. He only had one belief, that is to score the goal.

Time passed by second by second, and the entire Staples fell silent, without the slightest sound.

In the last eight seconds, Liu Han moved, and the Lakers immediately began to prepare to double-team Liu Han.

Liu Han dribbled the ball to an emergency stop at the top of the arc and then turned around suddenly to avoid Payton who was double-teaming from the right. There were 5 seconds left in the time.

Finley clung to Liu Han to prevent Liu Han from getting any shots, and Malone on the weak side double-teamed up at the last resort. Facing the comprehensive double-teaming of the Lakers, Liu Han had little room to shoot.

In the last three seconds, Liu Han made an emergency stop again, and then forcibly took off against Finley's defense. Finley also jumped with almost all his strength to try to block Liu Han's shot.

In the last two seconds, Liu Han's body was still rising, and he didn't want to give the Lakers any chance.

At the last second, Liu Han pushed the basketball out, and the red light came on.

"brush--"

The basketball slammed into the net, and the entire Staples was silent.

The cheers of the Mavericks sounded, accompanied by the lonely "sigh" of Staples, the lore was won, but it was the Lakers who got the lore, and the one who made the lore was the one who brought the Lakers new glory. Chinese.
