Vol 2 Chapter 255: Old driver (three / four!)

On February 21, the NBA playoffs continued, and finally there was no upset on this day.
The Celtics beat the Bucks 87-66, and 66 points also set the lowest point in a single game since the playoffs this season.
After the game, Millsap couldn't hide his disappointment, bluntly that his teammates did not do their best on the offensive end.
This remark immediately caused a stir.
The arrogance and loose teammates of the championship members form a strong contrast.
Many media have started to discuss that Millsap will not stay with the Bucks next season.
In the other game in the East, the Cavaliers pulled back a city with 106 to 87, and the Bulls had a 1: 1 draw.
In the west, the Spurs won the Blazers again 98-91, with a big lead of 2-0. Facts prove that Jiang is still old and spicy.
If the Rockets succeed in the next round, chances are they will meet this old opponent.
It was a game between the Nuggets and the Hornets. The game that was originally predicted to be a splash on Mars did not happen. The Nuggets won the Hornets again 121 to 98 in the second game. They also led 2-0, and the Hornets did not seem to Fight back.
On February 22, the Rockets and Mavericks continued their second game at the Toyota Center.
Much like the first game, despite Carlisle's early dispatch to Barria to speed up, Tang Tian's excellent response made him return again without success, and the gap in the strength of the substitute players once again brought the game into garbage time early.
In the end, the Rockets scored in double figures with seven, scoring a 116-96 victory over the Mavericks.
The Mavericks don't seem to have much chance.
Although behind 0-2, the Mavericks fans still have confidence in the team.
"We used to be 0-2 behind the Rockets 4 years ago and lost two home games, but we won the game 4-3, didn't we?" Some fans pulled out of the 2005 playoffs. Race things.
"We will fight back in Dallas. I believe in Dirk, I believe in coach Rick, and I believe in the Mavericks!" The Mavericks fans will never give up on the team.
"Whether we win or lose, we are all Mavericks fans, Dallas is fearless!" Some fans cheered for the team.
Unlike the opponents encountered by the Rockets in the previous two years, the Mavericks are understated and restrained because of Nowitzki and Carlisle, but it is also because of this style that they have an extremely high popularity in Dallas.
On February 24, the Rockets visited the American Airlines Center and ushered in the third game with the Dallas Mavericks.
When Tang Tian and his teammates appeared in the arena, they looked at the blue ocean around them and felt a sense of suffocation on the bottom of the sea.
When the Mavericks players appeared in the player's aisle in a white jersey, the cheering scene was overwhelming.
Blue and white echoed each other, the momentum was aggressive.
"We will never give up!"
"Dirk, I believe you!"
"For the glory of the cowboy!"
...
The high-profile sign in the stadium also expresses the determination of Dallas fans.
The opening ceremony of the Mavericks was also monstrous. With the dynamic background music "eminene.front", the players made their debut with passion.
At the end of the ceremony, the team members surrounded the mascot pony man, and the pony man sprayed a burst of flame into the air, and the atmosphere of the whole stadium reached its climax.
After the opening ceremony, the lineups of both sides were released one after another.
As in the previous two games, neither team made any adjustments.
However, it can be seen from the faces of the Mavericks that they are far more excited tonight than the previous two games.
"beep!"
With the referee's whistle, Yi Jianlian and Dampier jumped for the ball, and the latter slammed the ball back to halftime.
The Mavericks won the opportunity to lead the attack!
"Come on! The Mavericks!"
The scene was majestic.
Kidd controlled the ball to the frontcourt. Unlike the first two games, he did not organize at the top of the circle, but signaled his teammates to pull away, and then gave the ball directly to Nowitzki in the low post.
Carlisle is the same as Tang Tian played the Celtics in the finals last year, simplifying the complicated game and playing Nowitzki directly.
"Double team!" Tang Tian's response was super fast and he shouted directly to the teammates.
Shane recalled the first time.
Nowitzki didn't pass the ball. He played Yi Jianlian a bit and saw Shane come in defense. He turned directly to the bottom line, turned around and turned his left foot away. An iconic golden rooster was independent.
Yi Jianlian struggled to block the shot, but it was out of reach.
Basketball crossed a high parabola.
"Oh!"
Two points drop bag.
Nowitzki feels pretty good.
The Rockets attacked, Yao Ming responded from a high post.
At this time, the Mavericks defended themselves against other points, and spared no effort.
Seeing no chance, Yao Ming turned and walked directly to the basket. At the basket, he leaned against Dampier to turn around and hooked.
Dampier was cleaned.
"Oh!"
Yao Ming's hook was also a steady hit.
Although claiming to be "the second center in the West", the gap between him and Yao Ming is a little big.
The Mavericks attacked, Kidd also wanted to give the ball to Nowitzki, Yi Jianlian directly chose to go forward, and Billups kept waving to interfere with Kidd's passing route.
But at this moment, Nowitzki turned around and shook off Yi Jianlian and went directly to the basket, while Kidd leaned on Billups, a demon pass with a spin, and passed the Rockets directly after hitting the ball The defensive wall came to Nowitzki's hands.
Nowitzki received the ball and played a small draw against Yao Ming.

The cheering scene was trembling. In the most crucial game, Nuo Tianwang, the team leader, stood out first!
The Rockets attacked, Yao Ming continued to beat Dampier and turned to the basket. Nowitzki's defense was in place, and Yao Ming's shot was disturbed.
"boom!"
The ball popped out of the frame.
However, Yao Ming was tall and big, took offensive rebounds from Dampier and Nowitzki, and then shot Dampier's foul.
Yao Ming made two free throws on the free throw line.
The Rockets clinched the score 4-4.
Kidd accelerated to the frontcourt and suddenly gave the ball directly to Terry.
The rhythm changed a little bit fast, and Terry went straight into the basket.
The Rockets' defense quickly contracted, and Terry's top was covered by Yi Jianlian.
But just then, Nowitzki had just arrived at the front court, picked up the basketball and then played.
Yi Jianlian shot and blocked again ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Nowitzky dodged in the air, and the ball was directly covered in the hand.
Nowitzki lost his balance in the air and threw the ball up.
"boom!"
The ball reached the leading edge of the rebound and rolled in!

When Nowitzki reached the free throw line, the scene was uncontrollable and began to shout.
"MVP! MVP!"
