Chapter 1805 Capture Tianwang Mountain!

Staples, Mavericks and Lakers in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals!

Ji Feng showed off his power in the first half, scoring 45 points, leading the Lakers to a 15-point halftime lead over the Mavericks. However, the Mavericks made excellent adjustments in the second quarter and actually led the Lakers by 5 points in the second quarter. If If they can continue to play at this pace, the Mavericks have a chance to further narrow the gap in the third quarter. As long as they can reduce the point difference to about 10 points, then the Mavericks still have a chance to come back in the fourth quarter.

Supported by this mentality, the Mavericks carried out their final mobilization at halftime, and the roars of the Mavericks players could even be heard outside the visiting team's locker room.

After a fifteen-minute break, the Mavericks once again fielded their strongest lineup. Except for point guard Kidd, who was replaced by Barea, the others were no different from the lineup in the second quarter.

Dirk, Chandler, Terry, Barea, Marion.

These five people have proven their strength countless times in this playoffs. Whether facing the Grizzlies or Trail Blazers, this lineup played very calmly. They also played a huge role in defeating the Lakers in the previous two games. Even if Even though they were beaten like this by the Lakers tonight, they were still able to hold on to the score. We have to admit that they are a capable team that can make people forget that their average age is already 33 years old...

Yes, their average age is 33 years old. This is a terrifying number. The average age of the five players on the Lakers is only 24 years old. What is even more surprising is that these five people played almost the entire first half, except Barea replaced Kidd and had a rotation, and the others almost never rested for a minute. For example, Dirk only rested for 21 seconds, which was zero or even, and Marion was about the same, only 45 seconds. Not even a minute.

Even if Popovich comes, I have to sigh, the Mavericks veterans are so capable, isn't this tiring!

Of course you will be tired!

It's just that this point was deliberately ignored because of the pursuit of points. Perhaps Carlisle had forgotten that they were already a classic car. Although they held on in the first half, their biggest weakness was exposed in the second half!

And the person who discovered this weakness was Ji Feng!

Ji Feng came up and attacked the inside, using almost no effort to dunk the inside guarded by Chandler. The whole world was cheering for Ji Feng's dunk. After all, where can I put a flat-frame tomahawk dunk? It's worth bragging about in every game.

But what Ji Feng saw was that Marion and Chandler could no longer keep up with their movements!

Marion is nicknamed the Hacker. In addition to his face, his defensive ability on the wing is also very good. Whether in the Suns or the Heat, he has shouldered his own defensive responsibilities and is rarely passed by in one step. situation occurs.

But Ji Feng was so far behind the ball that he couldn't even keep up with him.

Chandler's defense inside is also too slow. You must know that Chandler is a first-class inside frame protector. He averages 2.4 blocks per game and you can't just say it. He guards the inside and greatly liberates him. Dirk, this is the main reason for the calf's transformation.

Even guys like him can't keep up. You can imagine how poor the physical fitness of the Mavericks team has become!

So Ji Feng seized this point and constantly used breakthroughs to kill the inside. In this whole quarter, Ji Feng did not make a single long-range shot from the outside, and very few mid-range shots. Almost all of them were breakthroughs, and he never made any shots that could dunk.

This method is effective and cruel. Mavericks fans can only watch Ji Feng perform various explosive dunks in the Mavericks paint again and again!

What shocked all Mavericks fans was not how terrible Ji Feng's score was, but how exaggerated Ji Feng's ability to seize opportunities was. ESPN bluntly said: "Ji Feng caught seven inches of the Mavericks!"

There were 7 dunks, 5 fouls, and three free throws in a single quarter. The most heartbreaking thing for Mavericks fans was that it was not because they didn't want to foul, but because it was difficult for them to even touch Ji Feng!

On the Mavericks side, except for Ji Feng, everything was a negative effect. They were weak inside. Not only were they unable to grab rebounds, but their defense against breakthroughs was also bad to a certain extent. Except for Ji Feng, who had everything he wanted, Gasol also made 4 of 4 shots in this quarter. 8 points, Kobe even scored 4 points and 6 assists, getting 6 assists in a single quarter for the first time in his career in the playoffs!

And Ji Feng won’t mention it!

20 points in a single quarter!

65 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists in three quarters!

Ji Feng used this method to completely kill the suspense of this game!

"The Mavericks have overused their main players. They are no longer physically fit. After all, they are the oldest team in the league. You will definitely not be able to rotate like this." Director Zhang said.

But think about it, what can the Mavericks do? You can't take the initiative to lower your height and replace Dirk and Qian Dekai. You can't guarantee rebounds, nor can you score points. Terry was completely out of sorts tonight. It was all up to Dirk to score points. At least he can still compete now. A fight.

However, it turns out that fighting is just an ideal situation, and Ji Feng didn't give them any chance tonight.

As Barkley said, the only suspense now is whether or when Ji Feng can score 70 points.

Carlisle also seemed to have given up. He withdrew the main lineup at the beginning of the fourth quarter, leaving only the starter Stevenson, who had not been seen for a long time, on the court. It seemed that he did not want Ji Feng to score any more points. After all, he was now 65 in the third quarter. The points have set a new playoff record, and the Lakers have led by as many as 32 points 103-71 in the third quarter. It is no longer possible to chase points. Carlisle simply stopped the loss in time.

However, Zen Master did not let Ji Feng off the field. Ji Feng, along with Farmar, Shannon Brown, Barnes and Powell, still appeared in the fourth quarter.

"Damn it, young man, you don't have martial ethics!" Carlisle cursed at that time.

But this is reasonable, because there is still a whole quarter, and it is the playoffs, it is still home court, and it is still a record time. Ji Feng has no reason to leave the game at this time. Besides, don't you also have a main player on the court!

And the most important thing is that Chinese fans feel very happy. Thinking back to those days, before the Jazz became the Rockets' main pain, the most painful thing for Chinese fans was undoubtedly a game in the playoffs of the 2004-05 season. This is probably the last thing that all Chinese Rockets fans want. A memorable loss was in the 2004-05 season, when Yao Mai at his peak faced the Mavericks in a tiebreaker. Unexpectedly, the teammates around Yao and Mai were in a collective downturn. In that game, Yao Ming made 13 of 23 shots and scored 33 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks. McGrady had 27 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. However, still They failed to prevent the Rockets from losing 76-116 by 40 points, creating the most points lost in a tiebreaker in NBA history.

That series was still full of controversy, and refereeing issues were rampant, but nothing could be changed, and the Rockets began the nightmare of consecutive playoff rounds.

And this time, Ji Feng leads the Lakers and is about to let the Mavericks experience what it felt like back then!

Ji Feng's first attack with the ball caused Hayward to foul. He stood on the free throw line and made two free throws to bring his score to 67 points!

"It's 67 points. The Mavericks have no fighting spirit now. They can't stop Ji Feng from scoring. It just depends on when... oh ho!"

"Steal!~"

Before Director Zhang finished speaking, Ji Feng completed the steal. After reaching the front court, he stopped a step and faked a real shot!

Three points scored!

"70 points! The first 70 points in a single game in the playoffs was born!!!"

"Let us congratulate Ji Feng!" The commentators applauded.

Ji Feng completed his mission and came off the field with applause to accept congratulations from the fans, and the rest of the game also entered complete garbage time.

The inspired Lakers players still had the advantage in this quarter, and finally defeated the Mavericks with a score of 143-102, 41 points, and won the Tianwang Mountain!
