Chapter 1796 The Biggest Crisis in the Playoffs

The Lakers lost! ! !

The moment the whistle blew, the news was like wildfire on the grassland, quickly spreading to all parts of the world through various channels. In less than a quarter of an hour, the whole world knew about the Lakers' legendary playoff record of 26 consecutive games. The win was ended tonight by the Dallasites.

As the result was disseminated, there was naturally controversy, and the referee of this game was at the forefront!

"No more, no more miracles. The Dallas people fought hard and defended their first home court in the Western Conference finals. They scored 116 points and defeated the Los Angeles Lakers with a 4-point advantage. The Lakers' legendary record of 26 consecutive victories is now gone. Night is a night for Dallas," Yang Yi said with emotion.

Before the game started, he did not expect that the game would turn out like this. After the first quarter, he even felt that the Lakers' victory would continue. However, he did not expect that the situation suddenly changed and the Mavericks' efforts and the referee's The whistle collectively changed the course of this game.

And Yang Yi felt in his heart that the referee was the biggest protagonist in this game.

Yes, the Mavericks did perform well tonight. They scored 116 points, which is their highest score in a single game so far in the playoffs. In other statistics, their performance is also very impressive, such as their rebounds in three games. For the first time since then, there were more than the Lakers, 34-30, 4 more, and the number of assists was also the same for the first time, both sides had 22, and the number of turnovers was one more than the Lakers, 8-9, although it was only one less than the Lakers. , but one is enough to prove some problems.

As the ESPN commentator said: "Tonight is the Dallas Mavericks at their strongest!"

That's right, as many as six Mavericks players scored in double figures, one scored over 40, and one scored over 20. These were both the best performances in a single game in the playoffs.

Among them, Dirk Nowitzki made 7 of 16 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 24 of 24 free throws, and scored 41 points and 6 rebounds. Terry made 7 of 13 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and 11 of 12 free throws. , scored 26 points.

These are also the two highest scorers for the Mavericks.

In addition, Kidd had 11 points and 6 assists, Marion had 11 points and 7 rebounds, Chandler had 10 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, and Barea had 10 points.

Looking at the final data alone, it is indeed not bad. However, if you analyze it carefully, you will find a problem, that is, the Mavericks' free throws are very exaggerated!

So much so that Barkley said bluntly after the game: "The Mavericks played well tonight, but the referee ruined it all. Their whistle should have been blown from their butts, otherwise it wouldn't have been blown like this. This has changed a lot." The whole game.”

Director Zhang also said: "The Lakers made 27 free throws in the game, which was only 3 more free throws than Nowitzki alone. 5 people in the team committed more than 5 fouls. Bynum and Powell all committed 6 fouls. Ji Feng and Kobe both had 4 fouls. Is this scale worthy of discussion? "

Even Director Zhang, who has always been a good guy, couldn't stand it anymore, which shows how angry the referee was.

After the game, Master Zen angrily said that this was a garbage game!

"Our team gave 120% effort, but this is not a normal game. Congratulations to Dirk for setting the NBA's historical playoff single-game free throw record. This is really amazing. 24 free throws occurred in one person. You It’s hard not to win this game.”

It could be heard that the Zen Master was already angry.

And Ji Feng was also very enthusiastic: "We played very well tonight. We tried our best. Although we lost, there is nothing to say. I felt good tonight and scored a lot of points, but I only had 8 free throws." , so what else can I say.”

Ji Feng was the guy who scored the most points tonight. He scored 55 points with sudden shots from inside and outside. This was the third time Ji Feng scored 50 points in the playoffs this season, setting a new record. , no one has ever had 50 points in three games in one playoff game, and 60 points in one game before.

But Ji Feng was not happy. Ji Feng took 28 shots in the game and hit 20 goals. He made 7 of 8 three-pointers. He was very brave. In the game, you can often see Ji Feng holding the ball and hitting the Mavericks inside one-on-one. Shots of scoring points and various difficult moves also occurred from time to time. However, the referee just didn't want to whistle. In order to help Ji Feng make as many as 24 breakthroughs, he only got 8 free throws, which was only one-third of Dirk's. .

Ji Feng even felt that if he had not restrained himself and did not express his dissatisfaction like Bynum did, he would even dare to punish himself!

Kobe also said angrily: "We will fight back in the end."

After all, Ji Feng scored high, but Kobe was the one who was targeted the most. He took 10 shots in the game and scored 13 points. Kobe’s lowest score in the playoffs this season, and it was two points less than the lowest score of 15 points by James next door. , this is still bearable!

As for Bynum's 9 points and Gasol's 8 points, I won't mention them. It would be tears to talk about it too much, so this loss also brought a lot of controversy online.

Some Heat fans gloated: "They said we had more free throws in 2006. The true colors of this game were revealed! It's clear who made more free throws."

Other netizens also expressed:

"Damn it, it was an embarrassing game, the Lakers lost like this, the dog referee is really rubbish."

"Crowdfund to send bullets to the referee! This is so damn shameless! If you can brag like this, why don't you just blow the trophy to the opponent!"

"Before this game, I felt that the Lakers were going to lose. They couldn't win 26 consecutive games. Being too awesome is sometimes a sin. You will look like other people are too rubbish. I'm not going to mess with you!"

"I think the Lakers are really strong. They were praised like this and they only lost by 4 points. If I change the team, it would be at least 20 points. No! Let's start with 30 points!"

"It was a rubbish game, a waste of my feelings. I was originally waiting for the Lakers to continue to win, but it was ruined by a rubbish referee!"

…

Of course, some Mavericks fans will naturally say: "Can't we call a foul if it's a foul? If you don't want others to take free throws, then don't foul!"

And: "That's it, free throws don't count as points!"

There was a lot of excitement on the Internet for a while. If it weren't for the screen, I would probably bite!

But no matter how dissatisfied the Lakers are, the result of this game cannot be changed, and they must accept the fact that they lost this game.

However, it is not difficult to accept the loss and a team that has always experienced two outcomes: winning and losing. For them, they have long been accustomed to winning and losing. However, for a team that has always won, there are It's not that easy anymore.

Especially after such an embarrassing loss...

On May 24, G4 of the Western Conference Finals will continue at the home court of the Dallas Mavericks.

In this game, Lakers fans are sharpening their knives, waiting for the Lakers to give the Mavericks a showdown and vent all their frustrations from the previous game!

However, as soon as the game started, the game went astray...

The Mavericks were the first to attack. They were victorious after winning the last game and took the lead from the start. Kidd, Marion and Dirk hit three consecutive three-pointers, beating the Lakers 9-0 in the opening game.

Then after Kobe opened the scoring for the Lakers, the Mavericks attacked again. Dirk scored frequently, but the Lakers found it difficult to parry!

28-15 in the first quarter and 60-42 at halftime. The Lakers fell behind by 18 points at halftime!
