Yao Ming looked contemptuous, he scored more points in half the game than you did in the last game, why didn't you say anything?

But Yao Ming really didn't expect that Li Ge would actually attack Nowitzki today.

What a brave artist.

Yao Ming was thinking at first that Brother Li would end the fight with an elbow from the sky.

Li Ang can indeed end the battle like that, but what is the difference between that and Ma Long.

This approach will be punished by God. No, Malone hasn't won a championship yet.

Li Ang still followed the principle that our side would not use the elbow first.

In the third quarter of the game, the two teams were still in an inseparable game. Both teams were beaten into colanders, and it was up to them to see who could leak more things.

So, just as Carlisle predicted, after three quarters, both sides were back on the same starting line!

Li Ang scored 26 points in the third quarter and Dirk scored 30 points in the third quarter.

It seems that Nowitzki is aiming for 40 points in a single game again.

Okur really had nothing to do against Nowitzki. Although he had already made up his mind to attack the Mavericks, seeing Nowitzki scoring so unscrupulously made Carlisle a little worried.

"I'll guard him in the fourth quarter."

At this time, Li Ang took the initiative to suggest.

"But you..."

"It doesn't matter, I can definitely complete the offensive tasks and defend well at the same time. If we persist for the last 12 minutes, we can end the Mavericks' 12-game winning streak.

No. 1 in the Western Conference, they are not much better than us!"

After all, the break between sessions has just ended.

Li Ang stood up and was the first to step onto the court.

In the past three quarters, Li Ang really did not dare to say that he would personally defend Nowitzki.

After all, he is the team's offensive pillar, and he must first ensure that the team's offensive firepower is sufficient.

But in the last quarter, Li Ang felt that it would not be a big problem for him to attack and defend at both ends.

After all, Li Ang received a 7-point improvement in his physical attributes after the World Championships. So far this season, Li Ang also feels that his physical pressure in the final quarter is much better than before.

With my current physical fitness, I should be able to do both defense and offense well in the fourth quarter!

There are only two chances to defeat Nowitzki, and Li Ang doesn't want to leave himself a way out.

As long as one of them fails to win, Li Ang's mission will be a complete failure.

Even if the mission is put aside, Li Ang does not want to lose to the Mavericks.

The Pistons' honeymoon period is over, and the Pistons' record will drop to normal levels...

What is normal level? We are number one in the league, why is it not our normal level!?

Why can't the team I lead be number one in the league!

On the other side, Nowitzki was also out of breath.

With 30 points in the third quarter, the German knew very well that his offensive status today was considered above average.

Normally, the outcome of the game should have been decided.

But today, the Mavericks barely tied with the Pistons after three quarters.

This made Dirk a little worried.

Fortunately, the Turk's defense was not very good, and Nowitzki was confident that he could continue to unlock more scoring moves with Okur in the fourth quarter.

As soon as the fourth quarter started, Hamilton hit an iron from beyond the three-point line.

Although the Pistons' shooting percentage from outside the three-point line today is pretty good, Nelson still believes that Li Ang's breakthrough is more threatening than other people's three-pointers.

Li Ang's singles efficiency today was so high that those who didn't know thought he was competing against Jordan.

In fact, Li Ang's scoring efficiency is so high today, thanks to the support of his peers.

If the Mavericks didn't have anyone who could hit, it wouldn't be so easy for Li Ang to score.

Therefore, Nelson would rather let go of the other Pistons' three-pointers than attack Li Ang.

Letting Li Ang play one-on-one is almost like giving away points.

The basketball bounced very far and was picked up by Walter, who was always active.

Nowitzki quickly ran towards the frontcourt, raising his hand to ask for the ball while running back.

Walter also gave the ball to Dirk knowingly. Nowitzki continued to accelerate after holding the ball, preparing to rush directly to the frame.

But just when he was about to collect the ball with both hands, the German saw a figure appear beside him, and then he pressed hard and directly forced Dirk to stop!

Nowitzki looked carefully with a surprised expression, and it was Leon who was catching up!

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Lee retreated very quickly. He forced Dirk to stop and did not allow him to get an easy shot.

If I remember correctly, this seems to be the first time Li Ang has faced off against Dirk in this game."

Nowitzki's speed advantage didn't work in front of Li Ang, so Dirk made an emergency stop and was about to jump out.

Although Li Ang is indeed not as tall as Dirk, his excellent wingspan coupled with his jumping ability is still enough for him to interfere with Dirk.

Under Li Ang's desperate pursuit, Nowitzki's first shot in the fourth quarter also missed the frame!

"The Mavericks lost a good opportunity to take the lead. Although the fourth quarter has just begun, we can already see that the level of confrontation between both sides has improved.

Indeed, neither team wants to have two No. 1s in this league, they both want to be the only one!"

After Dirk hit the iron, Li Ang quickly took off a second time, grabbed the rebound, and then went down quickly!

The pace of the game was so high that many people were just running around on the field.

Williams hurriedly caught up with Li Ang and defended closely, but Li Ang directly knocked Williams away and then scored with a one-handed dunk.

Stealing a one-stop dunk, Li Ang has scored goals in this way more than once today.

Old Nelson frowned. Did the Pistons really send Leon to defend Nowitzki?

But it doesn't matter. The defensive and offensive ends are working hard at the same time, which means that Li Ang's physical energy consumption will be very large.

As for the Pistons, Li Ang is almost the only singles player.

Once Li Ang has physical problems, the Pistons' offense will be completely finished.

But the Mavericks are different. The Mavericks have Finley, Dirk and Nash at the same time.

Even if Nowitzki is really blocked, the Mavericks still have someone who can step up.

Nelson still doesn't believe that Li Ang can score points with the Mavericks' three core scorers at the same time in the last quarter!

Li Ang scored 28 points, 2 points shy of reaching 30.

Nowitzki was a little unconvinced, so after discovering that Li Ang continued to defend him, he still chose to play singles.

He doesn't want to be called weak, he really wants to prove that he can actually compete with strong opponents to the end.

Dirk continued to attack from outside the three-point line, and he wanted to get back the lost points on Li Ang's head himself.

Li Ang and Dirk, both guys want to prove themselves with a victory.

They both needed the league's No. 1 title to answer the doubters that day.

But there is never a draw in a basketball game, so the only thing Dirk and Li Ang can do is fight until one of them falls.

Dirk made a few crotch dribbles outside the three-point line, then changed direction and accelerated, facing the frame and breaking through.

Li Ang, just like before, blocked Dirk's way with extremely fast lateral movement.

Nowitzki subconsciously prepared to shoot. The German's offensive logic was actually very simple.

Either break through and eat the taller, slower-footed big guy, or pull out the skinny little guy.

For example, in the last game, Nowitzki jumped out when facing Yao Ming, and shot when facing Artest.

But Li Ang's body shape is right in the middle. He is over 2 meters tall, neither tall nor short, and his wingspan can make up for his height disadvantage. Moreover, Li Ang's body is very strong and he is not at a disadvantage compared to Dirk, but his mobility is the same as that of a smaller man.

Able to defend Dirk with all his strength without losing position.

As a result, Nowitzki's dislocation advantage has been severely reduced.

Of course, if Nowitzki can attack Li Ang with a back attack and use his signature Golden Rooster independent step back to deal with Li Ang, Li Ang will also be very troublesome.

But the key is...Nowitzki is not the back-up king yet!

Nowitzki may be one of the players whose playing styles differ the most between the early and late stages of his career.

He is not like Curry, who always dunks to death. He is also not like Thompson, who has represented the ceiling of ball control throughout his career.

In the later stages of his career, Dirk liked to attack with his back, and he looked like an old man who was slowly getting older.

But in the early stages of his career, Dirk could only face the frame, so he was very afraid of swingmen like Li Ang.

This is also one of the main reasons why the Warriors defeated the Mavericks in 2007 in original history.
