097: It is a matter of life and death.(1/2)
Karl Malone's sweat dripped down his chin and onto the floor.
He looked up at the score and clenched his fists in anger.
Falling behind, actually falling behind!
Before the game, who would have thought that against a team like the Toronto Dragons, the Jazz would still be 2 points behind after three quarters.
Before the game, who would have thought that Leon, who had only played once in the NBA before, could actually score a buzzer-beating goal over the famous Karl Malone.
On the TV, the scene of Li Ang successfully tipping in after squeezing away Malone was being replayed.
Li Ang's goal can be regarded as a microcosm of this game.
Although the Menglong team is in a sorry state, it has always been at a disadvantage.
But they never gave up from beginning to end, and worked hard to fight for that slim opportunity.
At this time, almost all the on-site commentators were praising Menglong. The performance of this team, which was in the midst of three consecutive losses, completely exceeded people's expectations.
Salt Lake City fans are a little nervous. Although winning and losing in the regular season are normal, if they are defeated by a team like Menglong, to be honest, Salt Lake City fans will definitely not be reconciled.
Although Menglong's record this season is not bad, in everyone's inherent impression, this is still a weak team after all.
Who would want the team they support to lose to Fish Belly?
On the Raptors bench, Uncle Butch just held Li Ang's face and kissed him.
"Okay, good fight, you brought out the spirit of our Menglong team!"
Li Ang was tired and in pain. Looking at Uncle Butch dancing happily, he was really speechless.
Ning was really happy. Before the game started, as soon as his upper lip touched his lower lip, he pretended to beeping.
But would you rather know how much I paid to make your comeback come true?
Li Ang is now just glad that he is in the East. If he were in the West, he would have met Malone several more times in a season.
If that were the case, Li Ang felt that his ribs might really not be saved.
Although this game is not broadcast live across the United States, the ratings have begun to rise.
Originally I thought there was no suspense in the game, but now it has become full of suspense.
In the end, will the Utah Jazz consolidate their dominance as the top three players in the Western Conference, or will the Menglong Dragons end their losing streak?
Is it Malone's strength that will crush him or Li Ang's toughness?
The fighting in this last section will undoubtedly be more intense.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, neither Sloan nor Butch was in their fourth position.
Based on past experience, Uncle Butch estimated that Malone would not play at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Therefore, he did not let Li Ang play.
As expected, Malone is indeed taking a rest.
Uncle Butch's strategy today is very simple, which is to let Li Ang chase Ma Long! If Ma Long goes up, Li Ang will go up, and if Ma Long takes a rest, Li Ang will rest.
Let Ma Long fight hand-to-hand with Li Ang every time he dreams.
Well, sending a rookie to chase the MVP really means someone who dares to coach and someone who dares to execute.
But don’t tell me, the results so far are indeed good.
In the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, both sides seemed to have agreed to recharge their batteries and played relatively restrained.
Three minutes later, Jerry Sloan, who tied the score, called a timeout.
Uncle Butch knew that Sloan was going to make a big move.
Malone will definitely play next, and he will fight until the end of the game.
"Li!" Uncle Butch turned around and walked to Li Ang, "Just hold on for the last few minutes, and I'll arrange a massage for you after the game!"
"Massage?" Li Ang thought thoughtfully.
Is your massage regular?
Don’t go for the regular ones!
Li Ang took a deep breath and then stood on the court.
The last nine minutes of the physical fight with Malone were the last nine minutes that decided the outcome of the game.
For some reason, Li Ang felt a cool breeze blowing around him, and a song suddenly came to his mind: The wind is rustling, the water is cold, and a strong man will never return when he is gone!
Just ride on the horse and be tragic!
Come, come feel, enter the realm, Li Ang can even feel the cold air around him!
As a result, Maizi walked up to Li Ang and rubbed his hands: "Hey, it's a bit cold. It feels like the air conditioner temperature has been turned down again."
It's very disgraceful.
I almost fell into the drama, don't ruin the atmosphere, you bastard!
The game restarted, and Karl Malone indeed appeared on the court.
He stared at Li Ang and raised his fingers at Li Ang.
In the last nine minutes, Ma Long planned to compete with Li Ang and decide whether to live or die.
At this time, the two sides are tied, so every round and every battle for the ball is extremely important.
As soon as the timeout came back, Malone got tough in the penalty area and forced his back to Li Ang to get to the basket.
But just as he was about to lay up after pushing away Leon, Oakley stood up and grabbed Malone directly, preventing him from scoring.
Facts have once again proved that although the Raptors' inside line is not high this season, it is tough enough.
Even someone like Malone cannot act recklessly in the Raptors' three-second zone.
Malone stood on the free throw line, but I don't know if the fierce muscle confrontation destroyed his touch. This time, Malone actually missed both free throws!
Let’s be honest, Malone’s free throws are on the same level as Li Ang’s.
Rounding it all off... Ma Long is on the same level as Li Ang!
Malone's attack was blocked as soon as he came up, but Li Ang scored a goal as soon as he came up.
In this attack, Carter took advantage of Li Ang's cover and ran directly to the inside.
Seeing this situation, Malone shrank from the basket to help defend Carter. As for Li Ang, he didn't shoot anyway, so he didn't care.
Carter saw that Hornacek and Malone were blocking him, so he passed the ball behind him and gave it to Leon.
Li Ang was at the free throw line at this time, unguarded.
Malone hesitated, but did not choose to pounce forward.
Let him vote!
Not only Malone, but no one else on the Jazz team responded, and no one even reached out to Li Ang.
He was left alone outside!
In a game with ten people, Li Ang can be left out alone.
Don't tell me, I really can't do it without some strength.
Li Ang was furious, do you respect me!?
Damn, do you really think of me as your brother?
Do you really think I can't score in the three-second zone?
Pooh!
Show your shame!
Li Ang saw that no one was guarding him, so he took off from the free throw line and shot.
Although Li Ang's current mid-range shooting ability is only 60, it is indeed a bit miserable.
But being completely unguarded and at such a close distance doesn't mean there is no hit rate at all.
The thrown basketball bounced on the rim a few times, and finally... fell into the net!
Li Ang scored the go-ahead goal over Karl Malone again!
"RNM, what kind of bullshit luck!" Ma Long was furious. He could see that the ball was crooked when Li Ang took action just now.
I just didn't expect the basketball to bounce on the rim for a long time and then it bounced in.
The second goal, this is the second go-ahead goal!
At the same time, in a two-story mansion in Los Angeles, Charlize Theron raised her hands in the air and shouted wildly.
Li Ang's shooting is so accurate!
As expected, he had shown mercy to me before!
What a great gentleman!
Li Ang showed a proud smile after scoring the goal. If I remember correctly, this was the first time Li Ang scored a serious mid-range shot since he entered the NBA.
He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the elegant and elegant No. 2 position!
Leon once again helped the team complete the overtake. Not to mention Malone, even Sloan felt a little nauseous when he saw Leon now, as if he was pregnant.
If you look pregnant at a glance, you must be talking about Li Ang.
Although he didn't score many points, every time he scored was fatal.
To be continued...
