Chapter 598: The embarrassment of Deng Dadai

When the main players from both sides came back, the battle on the court became more intense.
In this fierce fight, the Lakers slowly reduced the score.
At the end of halftime, the scores of the two sides reached a tie.
51-51
The six-point lead the Nuggets' rotation lineup won for the main effort was exhausted at halftime.
Halftime,
For the Lakers, Kobe scored a game-high 25 points, 8 of 15 field goals and 8 of 10 free throws.
O'Neal had 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 of 4 free throws.
On the Nuggets side, Li Nan scored 20 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 5 free throws.
Hamilton scored 18 points, 1 of 2.
What many people didn't notice was that there was a gap between the two teams on the scoreboard in the halftime.
The Lakers made 17 of 22 free throws and the Nuggets made 6 of 7 free throws.
In terms of the number of fouls, the Nuggets also committed 2-3 fouls from the main players.
In the first half, these were not very obvious, but in the third quarter, the game changed.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Nuggets suddenly accelerated and caught the Lakers by surprise.
Once up, the Nuggets played a wave of 8-4, leading by 4 points.
The Lakers quickly called a timeout, and when the timeout came back, the Nuggets still chased and counterattacked.
10-4.
The Nuggets' lead came to 10 points.
At this time, the Lakers were at a loss.
Obviously he played according to the coach's arrangement, slow down to play, and slow down the success rate of playing.
However, the Lakers' offensive efficiency is not as high as the Nuggets' quick break success rate.
On the court, Li Nan suddenly intercepted Fisher's pass to Kobe.
Seeing Li Nan get the ball, he was about to rush to the front court.
Beep!
The whistle sounds!
Referee Crawford pointed at Li Nan blankly.
Take the ball and hit someone foul!
Li Nan and Kobe did have physical contact just now. However, is such physical contact a foul? Two people didn't take the position to pass the ball in the air. Is this a foul?
Li Nan smiled slightly and gave the ball to Crawford.
Beep!
Li Nan snorted in his heart.
Then, it was time to come.
"T"
Joe Crawford inexplicably gave Li Nan a technical foul.
The reason turned out to be: Li Nan’s smile interfered with him, and he believed that Li Nan’s behavior showed disrespect for him.
"Hen~ this is fine too." Li Nan smiled and shook his head.
Then, beep!
T!
Everyone thought this technical foul was for D'Antoni, the Nuggets coach.
Because D'Antoni has stepped on the sideline and is looking for trouble with Crawford.
However, it is not.
Crawford gave Li Nan the technical foul.
Deported!
"Trench!"
How did this awkward thing of Nima Deng's dumbfounding happen to me? It's really too, um, too incredible.
Li Nan continued to look at Crawford with a smile, and said something to him.
"For me, what if they still lose?"
Crawford's face turned red, but he became angry and pointed to the sidelines!
"Getout!"
It was also for a while. A bunch of people gathered around the Nuggets and asked directly in front of Crawford: "Why?" "Why?" "Why?"
"Go away! If you don't go away, I will punish you too!"
Crawford's threat was useless.
D'Antoni, the head coach of the Nuggets, rushed in and pressed tightly, "Joe, you can tell me clearly, why are you doing this on purpose? Is it against us on purpose?"
Crawford stepped back.
The other two referees also came to block the Nuggets.
It took quite a while before things stopped.
Li Nan's two technical fouls were not recovered, and he was sent off.
"Come on, you can do the same without me, defeat them!"
Li Nan gave his teammates a thumbs up, but waved, turned and left.
Sidelines,
"Lee, oh~~~"
Kobe stepped up to say something, but couldn't say it.
This game was really hard to tell.
Li Nan patted Kobe on the shoulder and said nothing.
At this time, is this the only way to prevent the Nuggets from winning?
Thinking of this, Li Nan smiled and walked into the player channel with a smile.
When he walked into the player channel, Li Nan also thought of what he said before the start of the season:
This season is really not easy!
. . .
At the commentary, the three of them suddenly didn't know what to say. They didn't boldly evaluate the right or wrong of Crawford's penalty, they seemed to be worried about something. However, this is a live broadcast, and it doesn't seem good not to say anything.
"This, this, Charles, what do you think will happen to the next game?"
Ask Barkley if he doesn't understand, Ernie also passed the crisis smoothly.
Barkley also said wholeheartedly: "Uh, Li Nan was sent off. This has too much impact on the Nuggets. Next, the Nuggets game will be difficult."
Is it really difficult?
In the game on the field, the Nuggets lacked Li Nan, and Reid was ordered to face the danger, and the familiar Western Conference finals were staged again.
I thought the Lakers could easily pull the score back, but they didn't.
The Lakers encountered strong resistance from the Nuggets.
O'Neal ate Lauderdale's two big caps inside.
Kobe was fiercely forced by Reid.
The Nuggets are obviously very angry, and the more they fight, the more courageous they are.
Seeing that the score continued to expand, the referee sounded a whistle.
Beep! The Nuggets fouled and the Lakers made a free throw.
Beep! The Nuggets fouled and the Lakers made a free throw.
Beep! The Nuggets fouled and the Lakers made a free throw.
The constant sounding of the whistle directly disrupted the Nuggets’ chasing and fast attack methods, and also put the Nuggets players into legal trouble.
Before the end of the third quarter, Fordson received the sixth foul and sent off,
At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides became 86-87, and the Lakers surpassed by 1 point ~ EbookFREE.me ~ in the fourth quarter, the referee's penalty was more "strict".
Kobe moved and stuck to Reid's body, then, beep, the whistle sounded.
O'Neal's elbow lights up inside, and they all smashed Lauderdale in the face. He still called Lauderdale's defensive foul.
The Lakers' offensive efficiency is not high, basically relying on free throws to score.
The Nuggets are still playing very tenaciously, just like Xiaoqiang who can't die.
Hamilton and Reid were sent off one after another. At this time, Wang Dazhi stood up. Three consecutive three-pointers from outside the three-point line directly put the Lakers fans in a cold sweat.
Crawford's eyelids twitched fiercely, and he simply kept doing it. Another excuse for physical contact, Wang Dazhi also left the court.
Now that the Nuggets are empty, right?
But Crawford was wrong.
and also!
Billups, who has been steady today, stepped forward, Ben Wallace stepped forward, 19-year-old Arenas on the bench stepped forward, 40-year-old veteran Patrick Ewing stepped forward, 36-year-old junior Worm Tim Hardaway stepped forward, and even several other substitute players who had few chances to play also stepped forward.
At this time, the Nuggets players are like all with buffs. Whoever gets on will be in a hot state. It's the kind of hot that can't be stopped.
The Lakers made consecutive free throws, and the opponents did nothing. They lost their offensive status. Kobe didn't make layups several times in a row, O'Neal insisted that Wallace couldn't eat, the OK combination didn't score, and the others didn't make much shots and felt cold.
"This"
Crawford looked at the Lakers who had a poor shot, and shook his head. The reluctant smile on his face was worse than crying.
Why did I take this job?
