Chapter 184 Desolate Divac

4 month 30 day.

The G4 between the Lakers and the Mavericks started, and Los Angeles fans are looking forward to the Lakers' pursuit of victory.

This night, the little general made adjustments to the lineup.

Move Stackhouse to the starting lineup and put Howard on the bench.

And in the rotation stage, Finley, Nowitzki, and Terry took turns leading the team with Stackhouse.

In this way, not only the offensive power of the starting lineup has been strengthened, but the substitute lineup is not weak at all.

Coupled with the fact that Kobe and Ye Heping played for too long in the last game and consumed too much, this game has declined to varying degrees.

At the end of the game, 99:81, the Mavericks beat the Lakers, rewriting the big score to 3:1.

科比本场只拿了19分4篮板8助攻2抢断2盖帽，叶和平也只有9分8篮板3助攻1抢断2盖帽。

To make matters worse, Grant, the Lakers' chief backup center, was sprained during the game.

This is not a serious injury, but after all, Grant is old and his recovery speed is slow. The team doctor speculates that Grant may need to recuperate for 1 to 2 weeks.

This means that unless the Lakers can reach the second round, Grant's season is over.

But can the Lakers really make it to the second round?

NBA历史上，7场4胜制的系列赛中，一共出现过190次3：1领先的情况，而最后能翻盘的只有7次。

In 1968, the Celtics beat the 4ers 3:76.

In 1970, the Lakers beat the Suns 4:3.

In 1979, the Bullets beat the Spurs 4-3.

In 1981, the Celtics beat the 4ers 3:76.

In 1995, the Rockets beat the Suns 4:3.

In 1997, the Heat beat the Knicks 4:3.

In 2003, the Pistons beat the Magic 4:3.

190 times, only 6 comebacks, which means that the chance of a comeback is only 3.1%.

Coupled with the injury of the old Grant, this probability is even lower.

The Lakers are really in a desperate situation!

"Half of their legs have already stepped into the cliff!"

"Lakers fans don't have to stay up all night!"

"G3 is just the last madness of the Lakers, and after that is death!"

All the media, fans, and basketball professionals are looking down on the Lakers, and even the Lakers' own fans are becoming pessimistic.

At the same time, the other seven matchups were also in full swing.

East side:

The Heat swept the Nets 4:0 and were the first to break out of the first round.

The Pistons crushed the 3ers 1:76, and it will be a matter of time before they advance.

Celtics 2: 2 Pacers, the two teams are going to play 7 games.

Bulls 2:2 Wizards, the Bulls won 2 home games in a row and lost 2 away games in a row.

West side:

The Suns swept the Nuggets 4:0, waiting for the winners of the Mavericks and Lakers.

The Spurs swept the Kings 4:0. After the Kings sent Webber away, it really failed. Princeton was finished.

The Rockets 3:1 Supersonic, the jump shooting team ushered in an explosion after 0:3, the three armies worked hard, the team hit 55%, 19 of 11 three-pointers, and pulled back a victory.

But in the eyes of the fans, the Sonics and the Lakers are the same, it's just the last struggle, and elimination is only a matter of time.

5 month 2 day.

Game 5 between the Mavericks and the Rockets kicked off at the United Airlines Center.

The Dallas fans were beaming and proud, playing various KT boards to celebrate the victory in advance.

"Send the Los Angeles people home!"

"Big victory over the Lakers, prepare for the Suns!"

"Dallas must win!"

Some fans even brought brooms, implying a sweep. Although the Mavericks beat the Lakers 4:1 at most, it was no different from a sweep.

The live broadcast of this game is still ESPN, McBrin, Mark Jackson, Scottie Pippen.

However, the interest of the three people is very average, and the result is almost doomed. If the game loses suspense, everyone will find it boring.

Yes, tonight, the whole world thought the Lakers would be eliminated.

However, the atmosphere in the Lakers team is not bad. With Kobe and Ye Heping, two guys who never admit defeat, the team has not fallen into pessimism.

"Why bother so much, we just have to fight game by game!"

Mobilization before the game, Ye Heping said.

Lakers starting:

Mihm, Odom, Ye Heping, Kobe, Atkins.

Mavericks starting:

Dampier, Nowitzki, Stackhouse, Finley, Terry.

Beep beep!

The whistle sounded and the game officially started.

Dampier dialed the ball back to the Mavericks half.

Terry advanced with the ball, and with the help of Finley's screen in the frontcourt, he got rid of Atkins and raised his hand to shoot.

Swish!

2: 0.

Terry's performance in this round of playoffs is really nothing to say, it can be asserted that he is the best in the Mavericks.

The Lakers attack.

Kobe broke through with the ball, attracted Stackhouse and Finley's double-teams, and passed it to Ye Heping.

Ye Heping raised his hand and shot, and also hit a mid-range shot.

2: 2.

The little general immediately commanded from the sidelines, asking Stackhouse to follow Ye Heping and not to leave open space.

Mavericks attack.

Nowitzki covered Terry and went inside, and Dampier stuck the meme who was going to make up the defense again, creating room for Terry to shoot.

Terry made a small high toss, whoosh!

Still in, 4:2.

In turn, Bryant broke through.

Stackhouse obediently did not double-team Kobe this time, and Kobe was able to get inside.

But Dampier made it up and stretched out his long arms, causing a lot of interference.

Kobe's layup missed.

Dampier turned around to accept the backcourt rebound.

To say that Dampier's defensive ability is really good, this alone is worth his annual salary of nearly 800 million US dollars. Most of the powerful centers in this era are old, and there are few newcomers. Dampier is a rare species.

Terry holds the ball and breaks through again.

This time the Lakers were prepared to press ahead of time and not give Terry a chance to make a phone call.

But Terry made a second pass to help Nowitzki get 2 points.

6: 2.

Unlike before, the Mavericks, who got off to a slow start, made a perfect start today, and Terry's performance exploded.

And Nowitzki, who has been down for a few games, also felt better tonight, scoring consecutively, and even scored with a frontal attack followed by a difficult fallback.

On the contrary, the Lakers have a mediocre touch, making good chances in many rounds but failing to make shots.

Eight minutes into the first quarter, at 8:17, the Mavericks had led by 11 points.

"The Mavericks don't give the Lakers a chance!"

"The series is over. Congratulations to the Mavericks for advancing to the leader Suns."

"The collision of the two offensive teams, look forward to it!"

Fans on the Internet have already believed that the Mavericks will beat the Lakers 4:1, and the Dallas fans at the scene also began to celebrate the home team's promotion in advance.

The Lakers fans disappeared, and they can only expect the home team to do something in the summer and strengthen their strength.

Entering the rotation time, Coach Frank sent Divac to replace Mihm.

This operation made Lakers fans even more desperate.

This season, Divac's state has declined seriously. He averaged 8.7 minutes per game, only scored 2.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists, and his shooting percentage was 41.9%. All statistics are almost the lowest in Divac's career.

And in the middle of the season, Divac also suffered a moderate injury, and didn't play much after that. He played a total of 15 games in the regular season.

For a 37-year-old white veteran, everyone knows that this will be Divac's last season.

The legendary center from Europe, the originator of supporting centers, has come to the end of his career.

Such a Divac is struggling to play in the regular season, can he still play in the playoffs?

But the Lakers have no choice. The old Grant is injured, Mihm needs to rest, and Divac is the only choice.

How sad?

There have been so many great legendary centers in the history of the Lakers: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Chamberlain, O'Neal, but at this moment they can't even find a qualified backup center, and they will be ravaged by Dampier.

There was a burst of unkind cheers from the Dallas people, all kinds of taunts, taunts, and ridicules at the Lakers and Divac.

Ye Heping found Divac: "Veratti, can you still fight?"

Divac smiled, a little bleak and bleak: "It's the last season, why do you ask if you can play? At most, it's just to fight this life."

"But, I used to be an All-Star!"

The last sentence was filled with infinite anger.

Divac, who has always looked very gentle, also has a temper.
