Chapter 185 For Dirk! Again, ask for the moon(1/2)
Nowitzki smiled bitterly.
That looks a bit difficult and a bit unrealistic.
"Everything is possible. Not all that guy Barkley is back on us, so you have to be ready to play in g7."
When Sun Hao saw Nowitzki's expression, he touched Nowitzki's long hair and said.
Everything is possible, this slogan for the future of NBA is very contagious.
Nowitzki put away his smile and nodded seriously. That was the only thing he could do.
After arriving in San Antonio, the Mavericks conducted closed training and were not open to the media throughout the whole process.
Even the media did not get a definite news before the game whether Nowitzki would play.
The next night, the Spurs' home court was full of stadiums.
This is the match point for the Spurs. If they win this game, they can eliminate the Mavericks 4-2 with a big score and return to the Western Conference Finals again.
They also expected that something would happen, because last time, they won the championship directly after entering the Western Conference Finals.
Players from both teams entered the field one after another.
At this moment, the fans found Nowitzki in suits and tie.
A burst of cheers suddenly broke out at the scene.
This outfit means that Nowitzki won't play tonight!
If Nowitzki doesn't play, it will be impossible for the Spurs to lose in this game!
In fact, if it weren't for Nowitzki in the last game, the Spurs had already finished the battle in three quarters, and there wouldn't be any messy things in the last few minutes.
A smile appeared on Popovich's face.
In the last game, he was ready to say to Old Nelson, "You can't win the championship in your way." Although he was one game late, he could still accept it.
After the warm-up between the two sides is over, the opening ceremony is entered.
The two teams are released one after another.
On the Mavericks, Nash and Sun Hao from the outside, Finley and Huo Ershu on the front line, and Bradley from the center.
This lineup is very regular, but this is also the helpless move of Nowitzki, who can't beat him.
Cuban also went to the sidelines with the team, and his face didn't look very good.
Even if he is the number one fan of the Mavericks, he feels that this lineup is basically unstoppable.
On the Spurs, Avery Johnson and Porter on the outside, small forward Daniels, center Duncan and Robinson.
Popovich also made adjustments. The "Little General" who performed well before entered the lineup, replacing Anderson, who performed poorly in the series.
In addition, Daniels returned to the lineup, Popovich sent out the team's strongest lineup, which was to try to knock the Mavericks down with one blow at the beginning.
The game began soon, and Sun Hao called out the player who was about to play.
He raised his hand and clenched his fists, but this time he did not want to shout the team slogans, but just said two English words firmly.
"."
For Dirk.
These two words are more motivating than any bold words.
"beep!"
The referee whistle sounded, Bradley pushed the ball back to the Mavericks' halftime, and the g6 started!
The Mavericks played the position in the frontcourt, but Nowitzki didn't play. Uncle Huo Er played his previous role and took action with the cover.
"Swish!"
Basketball hollow into the net.
Uncle Huo Er is not a player who scores explosively. The highest score in a single game is only 42 points, and he got it when he was with the Bullets in the second year of the rookie.
But his score has always been stable, especially his mid-range jump shot, which is his killing weapon.
Uncle Huo Er helped the Mavericks take the lead first, but when he came back, Duncan turned around and wiped the board and scored two points.
Although the lineup has been adjusted, the Spurs grabbed the Mavericks and played inside.
And just beat Duncan.
If a player with the most stable performance in the NBA will be selected, Duncan will definitely be elected with a high vote.
However, Uncle Huo Erfei's mid-range jump shot that was feinted after receiving the ball...and also!
He scored 4 points in a row!
The Mavericks' bench was in full swing.
Nowitzki is not here, Uncle Huo stands up!
Duncan's 45° angle hitting the board again!
He competed with Nowitzki in the last game, and this game he met Uncle Huo again!
Uncle Huo Er continued to catch the ball in the frontcourt, and the Mavericks' thinking was the same as in the previous game, and they played the mid-range game.
But this time Duncan assisted in defense was in place.
Uncle Huo Erzhao rushed in with the ball and hit the board at close range.
"Bang!"
Duncan seized the opportunity and directly gave a big hat on his face!
Compared to Nowitzki, Uncle Huo's talent is still a little worse after all.
However, Uncle Huo actually struggled to win the offensive rebound!
After he took the offensive rebound, he saw Duncan still in front of him. He did not attack hard, but threw the ball to the outside, Nash continued to organize.
Although this offense was not done, it disrupted the Spurs' defensive formation.
Sun Hao took advantage of Finley's cover to catch the ball and took a three-pointer directly.
"Swish!"
The hand raises the knife and falls.
Sun Hao hit the Mavericks' first three-pointer in this game!
4 to 7!
Although Nowitzki couldn't play, the Mavericks were not at a disadvantage in the start of the game against the Spurs.
Barkley's metaphysics is at stake? Or, for Dirk.
Johnson also made a layup with Duncan’s cover!
Although the young general does not have the ability to make three-pointers from the outside, he uses this breakthrough until he is old.
6 to 7!
The Mavericks failed to play in the frontcourt position, and Robinson did not make a mid-range shot, but Duncan scored a tip-in.
8 to 7.
Sun Hao's three-pointer from the outside line was shaking, tricked Porter and rushed into the inside line to fight Duncan, and the referee did not whistle.
But Sun Hao scored and grabbed the offensive rebound and then caused Duncan to foul!
With the help of the whole sky, Sun Hao scored both free throws!
8 to 9!
Although Nowitzki can't play, the Mavericks are playing more tenaciously than ever.
There is no tactical game, no shooting accuracy, just one word, fight.
After the first quarter, the score on the field was.
The Mavericks were in a stalemate with the Spurs in the first quarter!
At the end of the first quarter, Nowitzki stood up and slapped his teammates one by one.
He could feel the unprecedented desire for victory in his teammates, and that desire was because of him.
Just as Sun Hao told him on the plane, they were going to bring the game back to Dallas!
As the game entered the second quarter, Sun Hao was breathing off the court.
Nowitzki is not here, and he is full in the first quarter.
In just one quarter of the game, he felt that he had consumed most of his physical strength.
The Spurs also played very hard tonight.
Although it was a match point game, they lost the tiebreak and played in Dallas, which was not good for them.
The Spurs attacked first in the second quarter, and the ball hit the inside, and the Mavericks contracted their defense.
Rose turned around and took action...no!
Booth protects the defensive rebounds.
The Mavericks hit the frontcourt, Esley broke through Kukochi, and Kukochi made a three-pointer.
"Swish!"
Enter!
He practiced three points last summer!!
Anderson's three-pointer in the frontcourt missed.
As the Spurs' third scoring point in the regular season, Anderson should have been the team's outside core, but his performance since the playoffs has been really bad.
Average 7 points, shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage are only above 26%.
