Chapter 185: For Dirk!


Nowitzki gave a wry smile.
Well, it seems a bit difficult and impractical.
"Everything is possible. That guy Barkley isn't all against us, so you have to be ready to play in G7."
Sun Hao saw Nowitzki's expression and touched Nowitzki's long hair and said.
Everything is possible. This NBA's future propaganda slogan 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 during the entire process.
Even if Nowitzki will play, the media did not get a definitive news before the game.
The next night, the AT&T Center Arena, the Spurs' home court, was full.
This is the Spurs' match point game. If they win this game, they will be able to eliminate the Mavericks 4-2 and once again return to the Western Conference Finals.
They also look forward to something like that, 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 time, the fans discovered Nowitzki in a suit and leather shoes.
There was a burst of cheers on the scene.
This dress shows that Nowitzki will not fight tonight!
If Nowitzki doesn't play, the Spurs cannot lose this game!
In fact, if it wasn't for Nowitzki in the last game, the Spurs had already ended the fight in three quarters, and there would be no mess in the last few minutes.
A smile appeared on Popovich's face.
In the last game, he was ready to say that "you can't win the championship in your way" to old Nelson, although it was one game late, he could accept it.
After the warm-up on both sides is over, enter the opening ceremony.
The starters of the two teams came out one after another.
For the Mavericks, Nash and Sun Hao on the outside, Finley and Uncle Huo on the front, and Bradley, the center.
This lineup is very regular, but this is also the helpless move of the old Nelson that Nowitzki can't play.
Cuban also went to the sidelines with the team, his face didn't look very good.
This lineup, even if he is the number one fan of the Mavericks, feels basically no chance of winning.
On the Spurs side, outside Avery Johnson and Porter, small forward Daniels, center Duncan and Robinson.
Popovich also made adjustments to the starting lineup. The "little general" who performed well before entered the starting lineup, replacing Anderson, who performed poorly in the series.
Coupled with the return of Daniels to the starting lineup, Popovich sent the team's strongest lineup, which is trying to kick the Mavericks down at the beginning.
The game started immediately, and Sun Hao shouted the starting player who was going to play.
He raised his hands and clenched fists, but this time he didn't want to shout the team's slogan, but just said two English words firmly.
"For. Dirk."
For Dirk.
These two words are more motivating than any rhetoric.
"beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded, Bradley put the ball back to the Mavericks halftime, G6 started!
The Mavericks played the frontcourt, but Nowitzki didn't play, and Huo Ershu played his previous role, taking advantage of the mid-range shot from the screen.
"Uh!"
The basketball is hollow into the net.
Huo Ershu is not a player with a scoring explosion, and the highest score in a single game is only 42 points, which was obtained in the second year of the rookie in the Bullets.
But his scoring has always been very stable, especially a jump shot from a hand, which is his killing weapon.
Huo Ershu helped the Mavericks get ahead, but Duncan turned around and scored two points.
Although the lineup was adjusted, the Spurs grabbed the Mavericks to play inside.
And just hit Duncan.
If a player with the most consistent performance in the NBA is selected, Duncan will definitely be elected with high votes.
But Ershu Huo flickered a mid-range jumper after catching the ball...and!
He scored 4 points in a row!
The Mavericks' bench is boiling.
Nowitzki is not there, Huo Ershu has come forward!
Duncan's 45° angle hits the board and then advances!
He fought with Nowitzki in the last match, and this time he met with Uncle Huo again!
Huo Ershu continued to receive the ball in the frontcourt. The Mavericks' thinking was the same as the previous game, and they played the middle distance set by the Spurs.
But this time Duncan's defense was in place.
Second Uncle Huo held the ball and thrust in, playing the board from close range.
"boom!"
Duncan seized the opportunity and came directly with a nail board!
Compared with Nowitzki, Huo Ershu's talent is still a bit worse after all.
However, Huo Ershu was struggling to win offensive rebounds!
After he scored the offensive rebound, he saw that Duncan was still in front of him, and instead of attacking, he threw the ball to the outside Nash to continue the organization.
Although the offense was not completed this time, it disrupted the Spurs' defensive formation.
Sun Hao used Finley's screen to catch the ball and took the three-pointer directly.
"Uh!"
Hand up the knife and drop.
Sun Hao hit the Mavericks' first three-pointer of the field!
4 to 7!
Although Nowitzki could not play, but the Mavericks started the game with the Spurs.
Barkley's metaphysics is at odds? Or, for Dirk.
Johnson also had a layup with Duncan's cover!
Although the young general does not have the ability to shoot three-pointers from outside, he used his old breakthrough to break through.
6 to 7!
The Mavericks missed a wave of positions in the frontcourt, Robinson did not make a mid-range shot, but Duncan made a tip.
8 to 7.
Sun Hao swayed three-pointers from the outside line. After deceiving Porter, he rushed into the inside line and missed Duncan's confrontation. The referee did not blow the whistle.
But Sun Hao took the shot and grabbed the offensive rebound, causing Duncan to foul!
Against the sky, Sun Hao made both free throws!
8 to 9!
Although Nowitzki could not play, the Mavericks played unprecedentedly tenacious.
There is no tactical game, there is no shooting accuracy, just one word, fight.
After the first quarter, the score on the court was 25 to 20.
The Mavericks were in a stalemate with the Spurs in the first quarter!
At the end of the first quarter, Nowitzki got up and high-five his teammates one by one.
He can feel the unprecedented desire for victory from his teammates, and that desire is because of him.
Just like Sun Hao told him on the plane, they want to bring the game back to Dallas!
The game entered the second quarter of the bench time, Sun Hao breathed out off the court.
Nowitzki was not there, and he played full in the first quarter.
In just one game, he already feels that he has consumed most of his physical strength.
The Spurs also played hard tonight.
Although it was a match point game, the tiebreaker was lost in Dallas, which was not good for them.
In the second quarter, the Spurs took the lead, the ball went inside, and the Mavericks contracted the defense.
Rose turned and shot...no!
Booth protected the defensive rebound.
The Mavericks hit the frontcourt, Eisley scored Kukoc and Kukoc made a three-pointer.
"Uh!"
Enter!
He practiced three more points last summer! !
Anderson's frontcourt three-pointer 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 terrible.
Averaged 7 points, field goal percentage and three-point field goal percentage are just over 26%.
If it hadn't been for him to have a defensive hand, and the Spurs didn't have too many outsiders, he might have been out of the field.
But no if, he still has to fight.
And let's not say, Ferry seems to be just a substitute for the Spurs, but his absence will really affect the Spurs.
Without the most accurate shot on the perimeter, the Mavericks' contraction of the Spurs offense would really have destroyed most of the offense.
This is the characteristic of this era. Most coaches, including Popovich, have not yet used the three-pointer as a mainstream tactic, or they have not yet realized the effect of the three-pointer.
The Mavericks played fast break, Kukoc caught the ball with a false shot and broke through, facing Rose's dodge layup and then scored!
25 flat!
After Kukoc scored 5 points in a row, the Mavericks tied the score!
The last tear of the Bull Dynasty!
After Huo Ershu arrived at the Mavericks this season, Kukoc's tactical position in the team fell sharply, and the second round of rotation was also late.
Without playing time, his whole state has fallen quite badly.
But in the most critical game, he stood up!
After all, that is also the sixth man to complete three consecutive championships with Jordan!
Anderson did not break the layup!
From Popovich’s icy eyes, it can be felt that the Spurs' career in the first round with Duncan has come to an end.
Looking back, it was Kukoc again, who scored a layup with the ball to the inside, and also caused Rose's beater!
After the goal, Kukoc turned and pointed to the Mavericks bench in the other half.
For Dirk!
Sun Hao stood up to applaud Kukoc.
The Mavericks tonight, only for Dirk!
Popovich saw that the momentum was wrong and had to put Duncan on the court early.
Forcing Duncan to play early, Kukoc's performance in this period is strategic for the Mavericks.
Kukoc also added a penalty, the Mavericks overtook the Spurs by 3 points.
But in the next round, Duncan scored a mid-range from the free throw line.
Cultivate both internally and externally to become a Buddha on the spot.
Duncan broke the team's scoring drought as soon as he came up.
However, Kukoc gave Eisley's pass in a double-team, and the latter's throw after the break with Robinson also scored!
Although he fell to the ground after colliding with Robinson.
But when he got up and ran into the backcourt, he, like Kukoc, also reached out to the Mavericks bench.
For Dirk!
Nowitzki's eyes are a little red.
His brother really did it tonight!
After four minutes of replacement, the Mavericks played extremely tenaciously.
Although the Spurs recovered their offensive rhythm after Duncan came up, the Mavericks did not cut the score.
When the main force came back, the score on the court was 32.
In this period, not only did the Mavericks not get the score, they evened the difference!
"Leave it to me."
Sun Hao patted Kukoc's when he was on the court.
Kukoc contributed a lot to this period.
"Defense! Defense!"
The fans at the scene cheered for the Spurs in unison.
This time the cry was not because of how the team performed, but because they felt threatened.
Just as people deliberately speak loudly in front of danger to find a sense of security, they are in such a state now.
This kind of cheer really worked. Second Uncle Huo was followed by Duncan, and the Mavericks couldn't make a battle.
Without Nowitzki, it is really difficult to disturb the Spurs' defense with a Huo Ershu alone.
And I can feel that Popovich has made minor adjustments on defense.
Perimeter defensive players are all leaning inward, not playing mid-range, even as empty in the first quarter.
Able to lead the team to win the first championship in team history two years ago, Popovich is at this level even if he is Simavic.
There was not much offensive time left, and Nash finally gave the ball to Sun Hao.
Sun Hao made a super far three-pointer from the outside line one meter away from the three-point line.
"when!"
He just came on the court and missed his first shot.
But at this time, Bradley grabbed the moon with long arms and grabbed offensive rebounds.
And he immediately worked at heights and scored a shot over Robinson's head!
32 to 34!
The Mavericks, once again overtake the score!
Bradley also points to the team's bench when he retires.
For Dirk!
Starting from Kukoc, this action has been given a new meaning in this game!
Old Nelson's expression was a little moved.
He has coached for so many years and has seen any scene, but tonight such a scene is really the first time in his coaching career.
Everyone on the team is doing the same thing, reaching out to the team's bench for Dirk!
This team has cohesion beyond imagination!
The Spurs' approach has inspired the potential of this team in a sense!
Duncan made a one-handed dunk directly under the double-team inside!
34 level!
Cheers violently broke out at the scene, and this buckle was a shot in the heart.
Duncan is really a rock, he will remain unmoved no matter how big the flood is.
This ball boosted the Spurs' morale, and in retrospect, the Mavericks' offense was almost impossible to defend.
The defensive strength of this Spurs team is really more than just averaging points per game.
It is not an exaggeration to say that before the Pistons came out, the Spurs had no obvious defensive loopholes, and they were the league's strongest defensive team with stronger defense than the 76ers.
There was not much offensive time left, and the ball was in Sun Hao's hands.
This time he deliberately took a step forward, passing Daniels and pulling into the three-point line.
The moment the ball was shot, the shooter's intuition told him that he had it.
"Uh!"
With a crisp sound, Sun Hao's three-pointer also entered!
37 to 34!
Tonight's Mavericks, in times of difficulty, there is always someone who can come forward!
Sun Hao also reached out to the team's bench while retiring.
Dirk, this.is.for.you!
Nowitzki's eyes were red.
He has never been a bummer~EbookFREE.me~ Even if he is convinced against Duncan, he will continue to do it. The highest score of his career in the playoffs last game.
But what his teammates did tonight really moved him.
In the stands, Cuban's expression also changed.
Originally, he felt that the old Nelson was stubborn, but now it seems that although Nowitzki did not make it, but he has brought unexpected motivation to the Mavericks.
The old Nelson is the head coach after all, and he knows the team better than his boss.
Duncan passed the ball to Robinson, who made a mid-range shot.
But in retrospect, Finley voted and grabbed himself, and the second attack from the basket resulted in Robinson's beater!
After making two free throws, Finley also reached out to the Mavericks bench.
The three armies use their lives only for Dirk!
