Chapter 202 The Forgotten Griffin(1/2)
This is no longer called double-teaming.
This should be called "attack from three sides"!
Nowitzki could only say one sentence in his heart: That's cruel!
He never expected that this was only the second time he had chosen to force a breakthrough since the previous one. The Suns immediately changed their entire defensive strategy and arranged a pincer attack of this level.
This kind of pincer attack is undoubtedly the best way to deal with a strong attack!
No, even a veteran like Nowitzki, who has been on the court for more than ten years, simply lost the ball when faced with such an encirclement and suppression.
Steve Nash grabbed the ball and started a fast break. Nowitzki subconsciously stretched out his hand, but his hand only slipped through Steve Nash's hair, and then he could only watch Steve Nash dribbling the ball away.
the further away.
The Mavericks' back line caught up immediately. Steve Nash's speed was good, but he lacked explosive power, which meant that his quick play was not enough to quickly open the gap.
As he passed halftime, the Mavericks' back line also returned to the defensive zone at the same time, and Steve Nash had to slow down under their pressure.
If it had been in the past, the Suns' fast break would have been unstoppable at this moment.
But that was just the past...
The current situation is that they have Lin Ri!
The second after Steve Nash was stopped, Lin Ri rushed over and cut from the wing to the inside. The Mavericks tried to block it, but Lin Ri, who had already charged up, could not be easily forced to stop.
Taking long strides, Lin Ri rushed directly to the inside line, then used his legs to jump high.
The next moment he jumped up, a ball flew right over his head.
He easily pushed the ball into the basket.
The whole movement can be said to be very smooth.
There are only two point guards in this league who can pass the ball to this level, and there is only one person in the Suns who can do it!
This pass comes from "Son of the Wind" Steve Nash!
"Boom!"
The sound of the basket is deafening!
Steve Nash and Lin Ri completed another staggering collaboration.
The auditorium at the scene was also directly blown over, and the entire place fell into a commotion.
Lin Rui landed and took the "overlord step"!
He had reason to be so excited.
Because after this goal, the Suns opened the point difference to more than double digits.
At this time, the time has dropped below 5 minutes, and there are less than 4 minutes left. With the current momentum of the Suns, it is not a bad idea to say that the victory of the game has been locked.
Lin Ri completed such a crucial attack with such an explosive goal. What's wrong with celebrating?
What's wrong?
Anyway, Suns fans didn't think anything was wrong.
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
"MVP!"
Instead, the entire scene rang out with a huge "MVP" sound.
Jason Kidd slowly dribbled towards the midfield. His emotions will never be swayed by the atmosphere of the away game, but that is just because he will not be swayed by the atmosphere of the scene, but this does not mean that other Mavericks players will not be swayed.
.
No, he had just passed halftime, and no one came up to receive his pass.
After waiting for several seconds, Nowitzki finally came to the outside to catch the ball.
Other people's reactions were about half a beat slower than usual.
But the ball was caught, but the problem is that Nowitzki is standing outside the three-point line again. Just now, he was full of confidence and moved from the inside to outside the three-point line, taking the initiative to catch the ball, but just now
Just now, he was so defeated that he didn't dare to rush to the inside even if he was beaten to death.
Then his only options are passing and shooting.
passing the ball...
Nowitzki glanced at his teammates, and then said to himself: It seems unlikely.
These guys were half a beat too slow to react.
Then you have to do it yourself!
Nowitzki immediately returned his gaze to Lin Ri.
Since he plans to do it himself, he naturally cannot look towards the basket. That will only expose his intentions. Exposing his intentions in front of a defensive player like Lin Ri will only make it more difficult for him to take action.
Nowitzki is not that stupid.
He simply set his sights on Lin Ri.
But Lin Ri is not stupid either. After three people double-teamed Nowitzki and caused him to lose the ball, he expected that this guy would not dare to rush inside again. Now he didn't even see him holding the ball for a long time.
Luck, obviously he is planning something in his heart. Lin Ri is always a proactive person whether he is on the court or in bed!
Naturally, such a proactive person cannot be controlled by others.
He pressed forward directly.
Nowitzki looked at the distance between Lin Ri and him getting closer and closer, knowing that if he didn't take action, he would really have no chance. He immediately stopped hesitating and started dribbling, a simple dribble in front of his body, and then Nowitzki
Wisky took a big step to the right and then shot directly.
But all this was now seen by Lin Ri. When he took off, Lin Ri also jumped up.
"Crack!"
Although the ball was not covered, the friction from Lin Ri's fingertips told him that he had touched the ball.
Be on guard!
Lin Ri turned his head and looked at the ball with a more relaxed expression. Although the ball had not yet flown to the basket, he already knew the result.
Nowitzki's face also dropped. He knew his shot very well, and the arc was very high. Although the arc of the ball flying out now looks pretty good, it is obviously earlier than when he usually falls.
This is not a normal arc!
This means that when Lin Ri just stretched out his hand, he touched the ball.
"Snapped!"
Sure enough, although the ball hit the right path, it didn't even touch the basket and fell straight into Humphries' hands.
Three no-sticks!
Nowitzki was guarded by Lin Ri at the most critical moment!
Lost...
Rick Carlisle looked at the result of Nowitzki's shot and thought to himself.
The game time is still more than 4 minutes, but the current situation of the Mavericks, let alone more than four minutes, even if it is more than 8 minutes, I am afraid they will not be able to turn over...
Lost, lost!
If Rick Carlisle had a white flag on his hand, he was ready to throw it now.
After this fight, he only had one feeling left: The Suns really couldn't do it!
This Mavericks team has a big problem...they have absolutely no way to deal with players like Lin Ri.
It would be great if there was a tall blue-collar insider!
Letting him consume Lin Ri's physical energy can also help Dirk free himself from the trouble of facing off against Lin Ri.
Rick Carlisle thought carefully in his mind. This was his only gain from this game. He saw where the Mavericks' lineup was lacking.
In fact, the Mavericks have such a tall blue-collar insider, that is Dampier, but it is a pity that this guy is as scared as a mouse when he sees a cat when he sees Lin Ri. If you expect him to waste time with Lin Ri, you might as well hope that time will go faster.
In the past, Dampier's contract was due to expire this summer, so asking him to get out quickly was the best solution Carlisle could think of at the moment!
The smell of gunfire in this game immediately dissipated after Nowitzki's "three non-sticks".
The Mavericks are waiting to die!
The Suns are waiting to win!
4 minutes can be said to be slow, but said to be fast, it is really fast.
After both sides accept their results, the referee is of little use.
As long as they don't blow the whistle, these four minutes will pass by in the blink of an eye.
At the last minute, all the Suns fans stood up and began to cheer when the whistle came to end the game.
To be continued...
