Chapter 363 The wonderful biography of Curry, the UAE takes off!
In the key defense, Mark Jackson replaced Yi Jianlian and replaced Ben Wallace.
Arab League naturally has no objection to this.
He did an excellent job in both offense and defense just now, and he deserves the trust given to him by the coach.
Now, it is completely acceptable for the UAE to take a break for the sake of the team's victory.
The Mavericks replaced Tyson Chandler and sent in Caron Butler, who has a stronger offensive ability.
In the last attack, Carlisle was committed to giving Nowitzki a chance to play singles, so he replaced four pitchers to ensure that the Rockets would not easily double-team.
On the court, Kidd walked to the sideline and waited for the referee to give him the ball.
Other Mavericks players gathered near the free throw line.
The moment the referee handed over the ball, they started running according to tactics.
After a complex series of runs and pick-and-rolls, Nowitzki successfully got rid of Ben Wallace's defense.
But in order to do this, he can only run outside the three-point line to catch the ball.
In the blink of an eye, the Rockets adopted a defensive strategy.
Finally, the person in front of the German tank was the shooting guard Tracy McGrady!
The ace players of the two teams had another direct conversation...
It's just that before, Nowitzki was on defense and McGrady was on offense.
But this time, the situation is reversed.
Time was running out, Nowitzki turned his back directly, and then began to advance.
The point difference is only 1 point, and he only needs to make sure to score two points.
Ever since, King Nuo Tian began to advance from behind.
The driver originally thought that due to his size and tonnage advantages, he could easily crush McGrady.
But during the confrontation, Nowitzki was surprised to find...t-mac's lower body was extremely stable, not at all as powerful as his slender figure should have been!
After a lot of effort, the driver finally pushed to the free throw line.
This is his best position.
But McGrady, who was on defense, did not panic and always remained calm.
When Nowitzki's center of gravity suddenly shifted back and he used his signature golden rooster, t-mac reacted quickly, took a step forward, and took off with all his strength...
McGrady's bullet speed is extremely fast. Although he obviously takes off later than the driver, he reaches the highest point earlier than the latter!
"Bah..."
Although Nowitzki has a height advantage, after taking the shot, the basketball was still touched by McGrady's fingertips.
The basketball stopped spinning and started falling halfway.
Upon seeing this, Ben jumped up and "flyed" towards the ball without thinking about his own safety.
Competing with him for the ball was Mavericks point guard Jason Kidd.
Kidd has been staring at the basketball since Nowitzki was blocked, and he didn't even notice Big Ben.
Therefore, both of them care about the ball and not people, and the result can be imagined...
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, Big Ben and Old Kidd collided hard.
With his bouncing advantage, Ben Wallace took the lead and won the ball.
But after the collision, he lost his center of gravity and fell directly to the ground.
Kidd's chassis was lower, so he stabilized his center of gravity after staggering a few steps.
At this moment, the referee rarely blows the whistle.
Therefore, Kidd quickly rushed towards Ben Wallace who fell to the ground, trying to take the opportunity to regain the ball.
Unexpectedly, Ben, who had been smashed to pieces, immediately made a pause gesture to the linesman.
"Beep!"
The whistle sounds and the game enters a timeout period.
"yes!"
Ben held the basketball in his left hand and raised his arms in cheers with his right hand. Combined with his expression of gritting his teeth in pain, it was quite moving.
"Excellent defense!"
"T-Mac showed his individual defense ability at critical moments."
"Looking at his calm look, it's like saying: 'I may be defensive at ordinary times, but when I get serious, you guys really can't beat me!'"
Yang Jian commented with a smile.
"T-Mac has his own way of defending back-ups. When he was in the All-Stars, he defended Kobe Bryant's back-up easily."
"But I want to talk about Da Ben more."
"Ben Wallace was so brave when he grabbed the rebound! But Ben should still take it easy, after all, he is 37 years old."
"It must have been a serious fall. I hope you won't be injured."
Su Qun added with worry.
.............
On the court, all the Rockets players ran towards the base.
After he signaled that he was okay, Curry and George pulled Ben Wallace up with one hand each.
After standing up, Daben put his hands on his waist and twisted his neck.
After taking a long breath, a smile finally appeared on his face.
Obviously, Ben was also very satisfied with his save!
After returning to the bench, Mark Jackson immediately asked: "How's it going, Ben, are you okay?"
"No problem at all."
Daben replied with a smile.
If he is really 37 years old, he may have to rest for 10 days and a half in his life, but now he has the physical functions of a 30-year-old!
But even if he answered so affirmatively, Mark Jackson ultimately chose to let him rest on the sidelines.
Yi Jianlian, who previously made a key three-pointer, once again got a chance to play!
...........
The timeout ends and the game continues.
The Rockets chose to serve from the backcourt.
For the Mavericks, Chandler returned to play and was responsible for interfering with George's inbounds kick.
But with the active movement of the Rockets generals, Pickle still found a passing route.
He made a lob and successfully handed the ball to Curry who suddenly moved forward.
At this time, there were only 28 seconds left before the end of the game.
The Mavericks did not choose foul tactics, but hoped to prevent the next ball and then use the limited time to make a last ditch effort.
Curry is very sober.
After passing the half court, he lowered his center of gravity and waited for the attack time to pass.
Terry immediately bullied him, intending to use strong physical confrontation to cause Curry to make a mistake.
But Rockets No. 30 is no longer the skinny rookie he was at the beginning of the season.
He turns sideways and uses his body to separate his opponent from the ball.
The two of them were in a stalemate for five or six seconds.
Seeing that there was not much time left, Terry could only make a bigger and more aggressive tackle in order to steal the ball.
But as a result, his own center of gravity also shifted.
Seeing this, Curry made a light dribble behind his back and passed Terry cleanly.
Meng Shen took two lucky steps and arrived near the three-point line.
Nowitzki secretly thought something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to defend.
Curry bent his knees and raised his head in a preset posture.
In desperation, King Nuotian fell into his trap and was thrown away.
"woo..."
In just one second, Curry connected two people without any pick-and-roll, causing the scene to scream.
But he didn't stop there, instead he accelerated toward the basket.
At this time, Chandler was the only one left in the Mavericks penalty area.
Facing the menacing Curry, the boxing champion slightly bent his knees and prepared for the attack.
Unexpectedly, Curry faced left while walking, flicked his wrist to the right, and made a no-look pass.
Poor Chandler had no energy left in him, but he had nowhere to release it, so he could only stand there.
On the right side of the basket, a figure wearing jersey No. 9 appeared...
It's Yi Jianlian!
He jumped high, caught Curry's pass in the air, and slammed the ball into the basket...
"bang!"
...
...
The scene was completely silent.
Mavericks fans never expected that Yi Jianlian would make a shocking dunk in the end.
until...
"Roar!!!"
The Arab League gave its fans a hard tug and roared loudly in the direction of the stands.
This roar can be described as heartfelt.
All the slights in the past two years and the unhappiness accumulated in this game were all vented in this roar!
Of course, after yelling, Yi Jianlian quickly switched modes and devoted himself to defense.
The current score is 129:126, and the Rockets lead by 3 points.
With only the last 10 seconds left, the Mavericks had no timeout and could only serve from the backcourt!
Kidd quickly served the baseline ball.
Terry quickly advanced after receiving the ball.
But before he could move past half court, he was robbed by George.
As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
In a panic, when Terry was dribbling the ball under his crotch, he dribbled the ball to his feet.
As soon as he bent down to pick up the ball, George took the lead and scooped the ball into his arms with a flying dive.
Terry still wanted to grab it, but his movement speed couldn't match that of Pickled Pepper.
The latter once again took the lead and passed the ball to Curry beside him.
At this time, there were only 7 seconds left before the end of the game. Nowitzki had no choice but to commit a tactical foul.
Curry steps to the free throw line.
As long as he scores one of the free throws, the game will completely lose its suspense!
Curry was naturally greeted with boos from Mavericks fans.
Rocket No. 30 received the referee's pass, put it on his waist, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.
"boom..."
"boom..."
After dribbling the ball twice, Curry took action...
"Shua~"
Basketball goes hollow into the net.
130:126!
Curry takes another penalty...
Hit again!
131:126, the Rockets lead by 5 points.
The Mavericks didn't give up and launched another attack.
But there is a saying that once you gain momentum, it will weaken again, and then you will be exhausted.
Finally, after Nowitzki's super long three-pointer bounced out of the frame, the Mavericks were completely exhausted.
When the red light on the timer lights up, the game comes to an end.
The Rockets narrowly defeated the Mavericks 131:126 on the road, winning their 30th consecutive victory!
............
In the stands, Shen Fei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, unable to hide his smile.
Just when he was happy that his team won, the system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind!
