Chapter 371 Mourning Will Never Admit Defeat.
The second half of the game.
Because of the huge difference in points, Motta, the head coach, changed people once. Kidd, who had a "mission", did not play, and Curry, who needed to stabilize the backcourt, did not play, but other positions were completely changed.
Substitute center Donald Hodge replaced Li Shengli.
The duo of Jones and Smith also played, and Crotty took over Jones' No. 3 position to take charge of defense.
The entire third quarter looked like training for the new lineup, and the leading Mavericks did have the qualifications to start practicing in the third quarter.
As for removing Li Shengli, this is also reasonable, because there is no need to fight to the end in this game alone. A little more rotation and rest time will be beneficial to Li Shengli personally, to running in the second team lineup, and to training newcomers, and the third On the bench at the festival... Motta finally found a chance to chat with Li Shengli.
"Ahem, Li, how do you feel?"
"I don't feel anything!"
Motta raised his head, and Li Shengli replied, but Motta was not very good at answering the words. He could only say, "Kidd played well today. It seems that he will be an excellent player in the future." He will be your best assistant, and Curry is also very impressive. I really hope we can perform well this season."
Kidd is excellent?
That's not what you said about Kidd in the last loss.
Li Shengli turned his head and glanced at Motta. He also knew that Motta was an old man in the head coach circle. Although he didn't like the old man's style, he was still the head coach after all, unless it was like the last time, he was indiscriminate. Spray randomly, otherwise he would not be willing to be a thorn.
"Getting good results? That's what we're doing now!"
"That's good. I hope the last unpleasantness will not be an obstacle between us, and I hope we can work together to create sports history in the city of Dallas!"
Mota's words were more official, and Li Shengli glanced at this old white man who was already over sixty years old. He didn't want the relationship between the general and the general to be too stiff. He could only hope that this old fool would not do anything excessive again in the future.
"Of course, Coach Motta!"
"Okay, great. Today's game is our best chance to prove ourselves to the entire league!" Motta stared at the situation on the court and said, "You can come on the field later and try to keep the score as high as possible." Come on, the bigger the better, I’m going to sacrifice a forest wolf today!”
…
Difference?
The bigger the better?
Want to sacrifice a forest wolf?
If the media reporters heard this, they would probably scold Mota, because everyone knows that Li Shengli's crotchless pants were worn by Li Shengli, O'Neal, and Mourning. If they were sure to win the game, why did they have to fight? Where is his face?
Even leaving aside the relationship between Li Shengli and Mour Ning.
The unspoken rules of league games also say this. In the case of a big advantage and a sure win, unless it is a mortal enemy or a player rushes the statistics at the end of the regular season, you still have to respect your opponent. Generally, you will be replaced in the second half of the last quarter. Today's game... the score difference is huge. Due to emotions and reasons, there is absolutely no reason or reason to beat the Timberwolves and slap Mourning in the face.
Stay on top of being a human being!
Even though there are differences between Eastern and Western cultures, this matter has nothing to do with cultural differences. Li Shengli didn't know what Mota was thinking, so he just told Mota with a cold face... keep a low profile!
…
The third quarter of the game.
Mourning was frustrated for two quarters and broke out. His style of play tended to hit the penalty area and kill under the basket.
It cannot be said that he is the small Li Shengli or the small O'Neal, because Mourning has his own characteristics and there is no shortage of confrontation, but his confrontation details are more extreme, and it is much easier to draw fouls than others, and the Mavericks Donald Hodge and Lorenzo Williams here can't stop them at all.
The Timberwolves are led by Mourning, but the Mavericks still have Kidd in the third quarter.
A top point guard can definitely improve the overall strength of the team to a higher level. Kidd is not considered top now, but he can still stabilize the situation.
Although Li Shengli rotated, causing the penalty area to fall, Crotty's defense faced Leder, the strongest outside firepower point of the Timberwolves, and locked him up to the point of being unable to respond to the sky and the ground. He broke one of the Timberwolves' legs and added Ku. Lee's stable shooting, Kidd's precise passing... In the third quarter, the Mavericks stabilized the score at 15 points.
Trailing by 8 points in a single quarter?
On the one hand, Mourning of the Timberwolves is exerting his strength, and on the other hand, Kidd of the Mavericks is starting to grab points!
Originally, the Mavericks should have been able to lock in the 20-point difference, but both Curry and Crotty knew what Li Shengli meant and tried their best to provide Kidd with pick-and-roll screens and let Kidd take action. Kidd also did the same. He took up part of the shots and bumped the score up to 10 points.
Other statistics had already broken double figures, and as soon as the late score reached 10 points, Kidd got a triple-double of 10+10+16 in the second game.
…
As for the fourth quarter.
After playing for a while in the first half, the Mavericks' lead on the bench was reduced to 10 points. Under the cheers of the fans, the long-awaited Li Shengli finally appeared on the stage and started to clean up the mess with four substitutes. The embarrassing thing is... Mourning was still on the court and played for 40 minutes.
It’s not that Timberwolves head coach Hill-Blair doesn’t replace Mourning, it’s that Mourning will continue to play life and death, and this makes Hill feel bad. After all, Mourning is the only face of his coaching, and no one can stand up to him when he is exhausted. ah!
"The regular season has just begun. Damn it, why are you working so hard, ready to play the whole game? Are you afraid of injury or life?" Li Shengli just came on the field to lead the team, and he cursed Mourning. At the time, the NCAA and Mourning When we met, this guy was like this, refusing to admit defeat.
"I'm different from you and Shaq. I... can't do it unless I fight!" Mourning was no longer as arrogant as he was in the first quarter, playing the role of a tough guy. "Even if there is a glimmer of hope to win, I will not give up. If this season If I still can’t produce results, I won’t be ashamed to stay with the Timberwolves.”
Are you stupid?
Li Shengli cursed in his mind, but his body movements did not stop. He thrust his head forward to test Mourning, turned his back and faked him away, took off with a step, and scored a goal with a tomahawk smash.
"How can you fight me with your current physical fitness?" Li Shengli, who succeeded in dunking, was not sarcastic. It was because Mourning's physical fitness was too embarrassing. His reaction, speed and other physical indicators were all declining. "Go and have a rest, I can't help it." I gave this game to you to win, but you have done a lot, and it is the Timberwolves who lose, not you."
"Get out!" Mourning couldn't even speak. "I told you, I'm different from you. I don't want much. I just want to get the honors I deserve. Neither you nor Shaq want this." Find a way to understand me, especially you!"
"Lee, I sometimes envy you because you, a bastard, have won too many honors. Why do you not even believe in God when you are riding a horse, but God favors you so much? When you come to the Jazz, you have Malone and Stockton. Mavericks, you still have Kidd, but as for me, what do I have? I have a fart!"
Moning was inexplicably excited. Li Shengli scratched his head and didn't know what to say. As for that sentence...don't believe in God? There are so many gods and goddesses in my hometown, I don’t even believe them when I step on a horse, so wait in line, okay?
"Ahem...it's the game, it's not over yet! Anyway, pay attention to yourself. If you hurt yourself, you won't even be qualified to compete with us. Wait, maybe next season will be your chance. Last season it was me, this season it's Shaq, next season it's you, after all, behind closed doors we are all 'dividing the spoils' among ourselves."
"What's the point of dividing the spoils? Do you think the championship is stolen goods? You burping bastard when you're full, stop talking nonsense, I won't quit even if you say anything!"
"Damn it, you idiot, if you don't get down, I'll beat you!"
"Come on, I won't lose unless I die here!"
…
It is impossible to let go of water. This is Li Shengli's greatest respect for Mour Ning, but Li Shengli unexpectedly hopes that... a god can come to save Mour Ning, who is about to become autistic.
In the end, Mourning did not die in Dallas, but the Timberwolves knelt down at the Mavericks' home court. In the last half of the quarter, Li Shengli was on full fire. All four substitutes were assists, and the exhausted Mourning was exploded on both ends of the court. Hill called someone to force him off the field in the last three minutes.
Li Shengli did not fall!
He has to prove to everyone that the Timberwolves are vulnerable without Mourning.
In the 3 minutes that Mourning was there, the Timberwolves narrowed the point difference to less than 10 points for the first time. Mourning left the game and in the last 3 minutes of the game, with all the fans watching, no one knew what was going on with Li Shengli. His offense and defense were abnormal. brutal.
Although the first half was very fierce, it was still within the understandable range. In the last three minutes... the Timberwolves were stunned. Li Shengli defeated them by himself, leading by 10 points in three minutes.
If you score 10 points in 3 minutes, there will be no problem if the offense is smooth. But if you score 10 points in 3 minutes and lead, it will be a big problem. This means that the Timberwolves are completely overwhelmed offensively and defensively, with a scoring shortage and difficult defense, which shocked the Timberwolves fans... It turns out Even if Mourning is exhausted, he is still the only pillar of support for the Timberwolves.
95:114!
The Mavericks beat the Timberwolves by 19 points, but Li Shengli didn't have the joy of victory. He just had one thought in his mind... Come on, someone, save Mourning!
