NBA: Starting with James Harden

Li Zhen received the ball and crossed the half court quickly.

At the top of the arc, Li Zhen began to press the time. He would not give the Spurs time for the final attack!

The timer on the backboard kept counting down. All the defenders' attention was on Li Zhen. They knew that Li Zhen would get the ball by himself.

In 7 seconds, Parker and Hill double-teamed Li Zhen at the same time, but Li Zhen did not pass the ball.

In 6 seconds, Li Zhen changed hands under his crotch, separated the ball from the man, and successfully passed two people! In

5 seconds, Li Zhen encountered Duncan's help defense again! In

4 seconds, Parker and Hill also chased back at the same time, and Haywood and Dampier also came up to help Li Zhen cover.

In 3 seconds, Li Zhen moved around in the crowd. As long as Li Zhen's dribbling was slightly inconsistent, his ball would be intercepted!

In 2 seconds, Li Zhen found the rhythm difference in the crowd and stepped back!!

In 1 second, Li Zhen shot from a distance of one meter outside the three-point line, and the basketball barely avoided Duncan's long-arm block and rushed to the basket!

0 seconds, the basketball was still in the air, and the third quarter was over!

Li Zhen also kept his hand shape and watched the ball quietly!

""Swish!!"

76 to 84!!

Buzzer beater!

Li Zhen's buzzer beater made the whole stadium boil!

Leading by 5 points into the final quarter is different from leading by 8 points.

The local commentator in Dallas was shouting Li Zhen's name frantically.

Reba's voice was a little hoarse.

Li Zhen was so handsome.

Everyone was excited, except for one person.

Carlisle!

Li Zhen has not rested since he came on as a substitute in the first quarter. He has played for 28 minutes.

It was because Li Zhen was on the court for 28 minutes that the Mavericks ensured their advantage!

But this guy is just a rookie after all. How much energy does he have?

Carlisle was a little worried whether Li Zhen could maintain such a high level in the final quarter.

Although they are still leading, Carlisle is not very satisfied with the team's performance. The Mavericks did not play the team style they should have in this game. They relied too much on Li Zhen's personal offense, letting Li Zhen, a rookie, carry the Mavericks forward.

Although Nowitzki, Terry, Kidd and others occasionally help the team, the help is not enough compared to the regular season!

Terry missed many shots after consecutive three-pointers, and Nowitzki's hit rate remained at less than 40%.

This is not the normal state of the Mavericks!

During the intermission, Li Zhen has been sitting on the bench to catch his breath and rest.

Playing for 28 minutes in a row, enjoying all kinds of double-teaming from top teams....If it had not been upgraded to S-level, Li Zhen felt that A+ would definitely not be able to hold on.

No wonder the playoffs are the stage for superstars!

Without absolute strength, it is really hard to survive here.

Fortunately, Li Zhen has strength now!

Li Zhen's physical fitness is excellent, but it has not reached the peak level of Kobe and Harden.

Under this high intensity, Li Zhen needs to take a breath.

Otherwise, his result will be similar to Harden's paddling, with not much desire for the game and various kinds of inactivity on the court.

"Li, you take a break first. In the fourth quarter, Dirk will be the center of the team. Dirk, you can pass the ball to the outside more often. Tim Duncan's defense is too strong today, and it's hard to play against him!" Carlisle ordered.

Li Zhen didn't say anything. He really needed a break.

"I will try my best to attack the basket."Nowitzki knew that Li Zhen had done everything he could, and now he needs to step up and take responsibility.

Today Nowitzki's shooting was average, but he has more than just shooting as an offensive method.

"No, no, you need to shoot more. I will let the center give you more screens."Carlisle said.

Nowitzki's biggest threat is still shooting. If he doesn't shoot, then the Spurs will like his style of play.

King Nowitzki still has to shoot the ball!

Carlisle began to arrange tactics for everyone!

"Judging from the first three quarters of the game, the Mavericks took the initiative and the Spurs will not give up easily. Oh, we see that Li Zhen is already sitting on the sidelines. It seems that Carlisle has also let this little guy take a rest. He is the biggest headache for the Spurs today."Smith said.

The players for the fourth quarter soon arrived on the court. As Smith said, Li Zhen sat on the sidelines to rest.

Popovich sensitively realized that this was a good opportunity for the Spurs.

Li Zhen's physical fitness should be a little insufficient.

The Spurs' fear of Li Zhen exceeded Carlisle's imagination. He immediately made a substitution and replaced him with GDP, preparing to catch up while Li Zhen was away! The

Mavericks attacked first in the fourth quarter.

Nowitzki and Terry's pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, Nowitzki received a pass from Terry and made a mid-range jump shot!!!

The difference between the two teams doubled.

Li Zhen followed his teammates to shout for Nowitzki. Nowitzki made a beautiful shot and it seemed that his touch was coming back.

The Spurs attacked.

Parker used his speed to eat Kidd alive. Duncan fended off Dampier who was defending in the paint, and Parker made an easy layup.

If Li Zhen defended Parker, Parker It's impossible to break through so easily. Kidd can't keep up with Parker's speed now.

In the next round, it was still a mid-range shot from Nowitzki. Although Duncan's interference was not very big this time, Nowitzki missed the ball.

Li Zhen felt that the shot just now was just an illusion.

After Duncan got the rebound, Parker started sprinting again.

The electric motor rushed to the basket and avoided Terry's defense and made a layup!!

After scoring 4 points in a row, the Mavericks' lead was only 6 points.

In the next round, Nowitzki received Terry's breakthrough pass and tried to find his touch outside the three-point line!!

But the sound of the iron told the Mavericks that they couldn't wait for Nowitzki to return to his touch in this game.

Terry's breakthrough pass had created a small space for Nowitzki. It was difficult for opponents to interfere with such a shot, but Nowitzki still didn't score!!.....

At 7 minutes and 22 seconds into the fourth quarter, the Spurs had narrowed the gap to just 3 points!

The fans at the scene were also shouting Li Zhen's name!

The Mavericks needed someone to step up and turn the tide!

""Coach, let me go!" Li Zhen walked over to Carlisle and volunteered.

Carlisle nodded, then signaled to the technical desk to make a substitution.

"It's about time to replace Li Zhen. The Mavericks' momentum has been suppressed recently. The Spurs' stability on the road has exceeded everyone's imagination. The Mavericks need Li Zhen, and Carlisle also needs Li Zhen to go up and solve the problem!"Barkley said when he saw Li Zhen standing at the technical table.

At Carlisle's signal, Terry hugged Parker and took the initiative to apply for a foul, allowing Li Zhen to replace him.

Terry's foul was the Mavericks' first foul in this quarter. It was not because the Spurs' impact was not good, but that the Mavericks' defense could not keep up with the Spurs' rotation....Always miss!

Li Zhen and Kidd partnered up in the Mavericks backcourt.

When Parker and Ginobili saw Li Zhen dribbling the ball over, their scalps went numb!
