Chapter 357 Calm Mavericks, Difficult to Open the Difference!
The referee did not call a foul.
Ben successfully grabbed the position and took off to grab the rebound.
At this time, there are no defensive players around him.
Upon seeing this, Ben immediately took off a second time.
"bang!"
After a powerful and heavy two-hand dunk, the score reached 48:42.
The point difference was widened to 6 points!
"Just now it was 2 points, but in the blink of an eye it was 6 points..."
"Mark Jackson's substitution has an immediate effect!"
Yang Jian sighed.
"The physical talent of this Rockets lineup is terrifying."
"From Tracy McGrady's dunk to Big Ben's brutal rebounding... the Rockets have shown their attitude towards the game."
"The Mavericks must play tougher, otherwise they will be eaten alive by powerful opponents!"
Su Qun added.
............
On the court, Chandler just got up from the ground and rushed straight to the referee.
He just fell badly and was very embarrassed.
A seven-foot tall man was thrown out like a sandbag by his opponent.
It is unbearable!
Chandler was furious, but he didn't dare to do anything to Ben, so he could only vent his anger on the referee.
He was roaring and complaining hysterically.
The referee was very tolerant and did not immediately call a technical foul.
After all, Ben Wallace's action just now was indeed a foul.
It's just that Ben's tug was too subtle and deceived their eyes.
Now that the deal is done and the score has been added up, it is naturally impossible to change the verdict.
Therefore, the referees gave Chandler the greatest tolerance for his explosive mentality.
In the stands, Shen Fei couldn't help laughing.
As a senior fan, he knows that Chandler, who is 2.15 meters tall, has slender ankles inherited from his ancestors (you can search on Baidu).
No matter how strong he made his upper body, his ankles were still only thin.
How detailed is it?
Most small guards are thicker than him!
Chandler's defense is based more on his excellent size, excellent jumping and explosive power.
But when he encounters a "short rebounder" like Ben, he has troubles that he can't express.
............
His eyes returned to the field.
Chandler complained to no avail, and was eventually taken away by King Nuo.
“Think about what our goal is?”
"What's the point of competing for such a ball?"
"Could it be that if you just say a few more words, the referee can change the decision?"
Under Nowitzki's string of questions, Chandler took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, then expressed that he understood.
The game restarts.
Kidd passed the half court with the ball and faced T-Mac's defense.
As he grows older, Kidd's breakthrough ability has completely disappeared.
Now in positional battles, he can almost only serve as a court commander and an open three-pointer.
After a series of moves without the ball, Nowitzki went to the outside.
Kidd hit the ground and handed the ball steadily to the German driver.
But the next moment, Tucker had already "attached" his body to Nowitzki.
In order to occupy a favorable position, King Nuo Tian suddenly leaned forward and stepped out with his right foot.
But the next moment, he took his feet back again.
After this time and again...
Tucker suddenly realized that the other party was one body height away from him!
When the shoe king tried to pounce again, Nowitzki had already raised his hand to shoot.
The basketball left his fingertips and spun at high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...
"Shua~"
Hollow into the net!
At the same time, Tucker pounced too hard and knocked King Nuo to the ground.
"Beep!"
The whistle sounded and the Rockets committed a defensive foul.
Nowitzki actually had a chance to score 4 points in this wave!
At this time, the fans in the American Airlines Center Arena began to shout slogans in unison:
"mvp!!!"
"mvp!!!"
"mvp!!!"
...
Amid the overwhelming noise, McGrady shook his head, half-smiling but not smiling, with a somewhat complicated expression.
Nowitzki went to the free throw line and made the extra free throw.
This score of 31 is the best response to t-mac's dunk which resulted in a foul on the Mavericks!
At 48:46, the point difference returned to 2 points.
During the transition between offense and defense, McGrady quickly advanced the ball to the frontcourt.
The Mavericks still use the team's perimeter defense gate - Marion to confront them.
T-Mac waved to the inside, and Tucker quickly rose to the high position and set up a screen.
McGrady's center of gravity sank, and with the help of a pick-and-roll, he accelerated past the first line of defense.
Standing in front of him now is the Mavericks' ace - Nowitzki.
Maddie smiled slightly, took two steps back, and opened the distance.
Nowitzki lowered his center of gravity, opened his hands, and looked very alert.
The next moment, McGrady sped towards him.
While traveling, t-mac pushed the ball forward to the left with his left hand, and then reached out with his right hand to pull the ball back.
It’s that classic streetball move again—shamegod!
After all, the driver has a power forward build and a higher center of gravity.
Being shaken by McGrady, he was already stumbling.
But he didn't give up, and still closely followed McGrady's breakthrough pace from the side.
Chandler on the inside also bent his knees slightly and prepared the hot pot base.
Who knows, t-mac has another trick...
He rushed behind the free throw line, suddenly kicked the ground with his left foot, and took a sudden step back!
In an instant, Nowitzki was thrown far away.
McGrady took off calmly, kicked with a scissor kick, and completed the shot...
"Shua~"
The basketball hit the net.
50:46.
The American Airlines Center, which had been extremely noisy just a moment ago, immediately fell silent.
McGrady played the ball really easily and freely, but it was actually very demoralizing.
But all the Mavericks generals had calm expressions, as if nothing had happened.
Easy side to fight again.
Kidd dealt the card at the top of the arc and handed the ball to Nowitzki again.
This time, in addition to Tucker, Danny Green also arrived immediately and double-teamed King Nowitzki.
But with the experience of the last fight, Nowitzki has mastered the way to crack it.
He was noticed as soon as Green started.
With a flick of King Nuo's wrist, the basketball was accurately handed to Peja's hands.
Feeling hot in this game, he drew his bow at a 45-degree angle on the right side and shot a three-pointer...
"Shua~"
Peja lived up to his expectations and hit the key goal again!
50:49.
The difference is only 1 point!
On the sidelines, Mark Jackson frowned.
Since the second quarter, he has changed his formation twice.
The Rockets gained certain advantages in the early stages of both formation changes.
But the Mavericks were very tenacious in this game and their mentality was very stable.
Every time the Rockets prepare to take off, they respond quickly.
Even facing the "Ultimate Basketball" lineup, the Mavericks remained calm on both offense and defense, playing steadily and tactically.
This is also the reason why they can keep clinging to the score!
"Yao, Stephen, get ready to play."
After Mark Jackson thought for a moment, he shouted to the bench.
His idea is simple...
Curry came on the court to increase his firepower, Yao Ming came on the court to increase his inside height, and at the same time let Ben go to the fourth position to guard Nowitzki.
............
Soon, with the help of a dead ball opportunity, two of the Rockets' new "Big Three" reappeared!
Curry, Tracy McGrady, Green, Ben, Yao Ming,
This lineup is both offensive and defensive, has sufficient distribution of ball rights, and is extremely targeted.
This is the third plan that Mark Jackson came up with after racking his brains to deal with the Mavericks!
