Chapter 828: [Crawford can’t save the Mavericks]

The Mavericks are familiar with the King's dual-core routine, and the opponent suddenly becomes a single-core offense. James is playing soy sauce on the periphery, and the defense line has a problem.
Not only the line of defense, Nowitzki also had problems. He was under too much pressure and his shooting percentage dropped.
He has been outstanding in five games in this series, averaging 28 points per game. He made 10 of 27 shots in the iron game and was undercover.
Even as strong as Nowitzki, who entered the 50+40+90 club in 2006-2007, there is no guarantee that every game will be accurate.
This time Wang Jun was in awe. He is also a member of the 50+40+90 club. He completed another feat this season, shooting 51.9% from the field, 42.5% from three points and 90.1% from the free throw line.
The king led 36 to 20 in the first quarter.
Wang Jun made 8 of 10 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 21 points, and exploded.
Nowitzki made 1 of 8 shots, plus 2 free throws to get 4 points and 2 rebounds.
In the second quarter, Wang Jun did not rest with a substitute, and the other four were Lei Allen, McGrady, Peja, Yi Jianlian.
The Mavericks went to Barria, Stephenson, Crawford, Brewer, Perkins.
Wang Jun came to the point guard. This arrangement caught the Mavericks by surprise. Lei Allen took a five-minute break in the first quarter and his physical strength was no problem.
All five of the Kings can make three-pointers. When Yi Jianlian opened a pick-and-roll, it became Perkins' defense for Wang Jun, who was continuously defeated.
Perkins' speed is not slow in terms of his size, but it is a flesh shield after all, with excellent defense inside and no defense at all.
After only two minutes of playing, Carlisle was forced to adjust, replaced Perkins and replaced Nowitzki.
This loss is to go home, Nowitzki is ready to desperately.
Another center, Heywood, who is close to ten million in annual salary, barely played in this series and played in single digits. Even if Cuban is recognized as a big money, I feel "painful".
Not every center who doesn't make free throws can become a "big shark". To deal with the Mavericks, the King has never used the "shark-cutting tactics". As long as the outside line is open, the Mavericks dare not let the slow center play.
Now Cuban is very dissatisfied with the operation of the management, Haywood has become another Dampier.
Nowitzki went on, the Mavericks still suffered a defensive end, because Wang Jun defended Barea. After the pick-and-roll, he changed to Nowitzki. He did not score a counterattack and immediately misplaced.
After Baria was followed by Wang Jun, it was not so easy to break through.
TNT radio Kenny Smith commented: "Barria is not good today. He has played well in three games, but the Mavericks can't expect him to play superbly in every game. He is afraid of being close to the body, fearing confrontation, and being close to the body. The ball is not well protected and the referee will not foul."
Barkley said with a smile: "This is the Kings home, and Crawford can't save the Mavericks...Although they are all bald, this Crawford on the Mavericks has no dominance."
In front of the TV at home, bald referee Joey Crawford immediately changed channels after listening to the comment, regretting that he chose to watch TNT's live broadcast.
Domination, how can I be so black?
David Stern is also watching the live broadcast of this station, really want to tear Barkley's mouth, he never wants to hear the word "black whistle".
James returned to the court after 6 minutes and continued to do organizational work, making room in the middle and the 60-degree area on the right.
The King has been leading, but James is uncomfortable. When he was in the Cavaliers, he had never played like this before. He was completely a role player.
If he knew that online reviews would be even more depressing, some fans felt that he would not play, and if they replaced Peja, Lei Allen and Wang Jun, they could still lead. Those two three-pointers were more accurate, and the opponent couldn't get around. Wang Jun was able to win the super data.
Some fans said that James was the one who wanted to split Wang Jun's shots, and his data fell.
Of course, James is not so unbearable. In the second half, Wang Jun attracted defensive passes in the periphery. James was the main attacker and obtained many mismatched heads-up opportunities and scored consecutively.
Triangle offenses Wang Jun, James and Lei Allen are on one side, and the Mavericks simply can't get involved.
Ray Allen has been reused in this series. His data has rebounded to an average of 13.8 points per game. This time he is in excellent form. The ball is in his hands. He will basically throw in the mobile phone, and 7 of 5 three-pointers in three quarters.
At the end of the third quarter, the Kings led 101 to 70, and home fans have begun to celebrate the victory in advance.
Nowitzki's shot was not allowed, and there were fewer free throws in the road.
Wang Jun originally wanted to play the whole game. Too much lead still went to rest. If the opponent's chasing momentum was fierce, he would go on.
The Mavericks sent Perkins after Wang Jun's break and could only defend. The offensive end didn't play much role. The King was still defending the outside from a three-pointer, and the foul could not be blocked by the inside.
Miller, Yi Jianlian, and Tajibson all became foul machines and took turns off the court.
Perkins made 1 of 4 free throws, and the coach didn't know what to say. The King is harder than they are, and fouls are fierce enough. Even a simple opportunity cannot be grasped. How to win?
Wang Jun didn't play again, and James was replaced with a bench for 6 minutes.
Nowitzki finally found his feeling in the last quarter, scoring 15 points in a single quarter and 25 points in the game, but it was too late.
123 to 98, the Kings won by 7 wins, 4-3 eliminated the Mavericks and advanced to the Western Conference finals. It's a bit thrilling to win, but I won.
Nowitzki's final shooting rate was not high, 10 of 26 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 25 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assists and 2 steals.
Many people on the Internet said that he was a "soft egg", completely ignoring this "soft egg" swept the Lakers not long ago, and hit Paul Gasol.
James played well this time, scoring a triple-double with 28 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, catching up with his regular season average.
Wang Jun played 36 minutes and scored 39 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.
He didn't take the 40+, but the online evaluation was higher, because he didn't seem to care about the data, nor did he deliberately brush the data. It was selfless when it was selfless.
"He didn't shoot much in the third quarter, otherwise it would be too easy to get 40+."
"Keep your energy in the finals and use it again. The next game is to play the Thunder. The King should be able to relax."
"Wang Jun seems to be helping James find confidence. I think the king can beat the Mavericks without James. Maybe seven games are not needed. James is undercover in two games."
Although James hasn't watched the news online, the data is not as good as Wang Jun, and he can generally predict the fan tone.
He now relaxed his mind and gave up the idea of ​​grabbing MVP in the finals. He will play whatever the coach arranges.
Nowitzki came out of the shower as soon as possible, and found boss Cuban in the dressing room, and smiled at him.
"Dirk, I need to talk to you separately, can you come out?" Curry asked in a low voice.
The two went out of the locker room, and Uuwsky read www.uukanshu.com Nowitzki sighed: "I'm sorry, Mark, I lost again."
"No, I apologize, I failed to find you a better helper. The King has two superstars, the Mavericks are only you, and the team still has a bad contract..." Cuban couldn't continue. .
Next year, the Mavericks have a slim chance of winning the championship.
After being silent for a while, Cuban sighed: "You are a free man in summer... would you like to stay?"
Nowitzki is 33 years old and a veteran. Garnett went to the Celtics under the banner of a veteran when he was 31 years old. If he wants to go, there are good reasons.
Nowitzki answered without thinking: "Of course I am willing to stay, don't worry, I won't leave, as long as you don't drive me away."
"Thank you."
Kuban and Nowitzki hugged each other, and the two hard-working men could only comfort each other and wait for the start of next season.
