Chapter 359: The love remains unchanged, year after year!
"The Mavericks were controlling the court, Kidd continued to deal cards, and others made a surprise attack. If they couldn't get in, they separated and replaced others.
The work in hand was very steady, and there were no mistakes in the transfer, which made the Magic's defense exhausted.
Spending the Magic's passion on defense is also a good way out.
In the end, Su Bei broke through the Magic's defense, made a layup from the basket, and succeeded with an easy pick..."
Swish——!
"Beautiful? I can't even call it that, but it's solid and I can definitely get the points.
This Mavericks team is really different from the previous rhythm of just rushing and rushing.
I changed my way of living, but I didn’t lose what I was good at. My offense was still sharp, but I found the buttons to control it..."
Magic want to make a splash?
In other words, this is what the Mavericks have left, and it is also the reason why the Mavericks' upper limit has never been high.
The current Mavericks have learned to slow down and play basketball very clearly.
How to defeat the Magic?
Don't ask, asking means you have no choice but to gamble your life.
Now 17 points behind, the only option is to continue the path of three-pointers.
"Howard took the ball and rushed up, was blocked, and after being flanked, he passed the ball to Carter.
After catching the ball and rushing towards the basket, Butler fought and retreated, but blocked Carter's impact.
Continuing to distribute the ball, Lewis was free, received the ball from outside the three-point line, and made a quick jump shot..."
Swish——!
Enter again!
The three-pointer hit the net.
There is a saying, there is a reason why Lewis can get an annual salary of 20 million. He has a lot of work on his hands and has a little bit of skill in shooting. It is not a waste of fame. When he is accurate, his shooting is really deadly.
The point difference became 14 points.
Under the Magic's counterattack, the Mavericks' offense fell into a quagmire.
Bart, the Wolong player, stepped forward and made continuous breakthroughs. Whether it was a layup or an emergency stop, his shots were all delivered.
Hong Kong Zhen, he has a fierce look on his face, I thought he would be tough, but I didn't expect that he would be soft at the critical moment.
Although he is technically versatile, he cannot be eaten as a living. He has to rely on his unique skills at critical moments, but Butler does not have that.
When he needed to hold on, he lost it.
Nothing!
"Butler defended very actively, Carter broke in and chose to go up to the man.
Butler fought and retreated, desperately blocking and blocking shots at the basket, trying to kill Carter's dunk.
It's tough, but a little bit unintelligent..."
Beep——!
Bang-dang——!
While giving away points, there are also penalties?
Butler plays his cards too well!
The Magic's tactic of grabbing three points, then playing music, then dancing, beat the Mavericks in a 16-7 shock wave, narrowing the point difference between the two sides to 8 points.
Lewis started the third quarter with a superb performance, making 3 of 4 shots, hitting 3 three-pointers, and scored 9 points.
Carter also had a 2+1 scoring performance and assists on breakthrough points.
Howard was a little worse, 1 of 2, 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 4 points, but he also had 2 assists and 2 rebounds, and caused Chandler's 4th foul. In addition, there was another big fire on defense.
The performance is just okay.
The performance of the Magic's three superstars brought back the suspense of the game.
Carlisle could only call a timeout to adjust, which at least allowed the Magic to calm down.
“Are we the Mavericks afraid of shooting?
The answer is not afraid!
Afraid of three points?
Still not afraid!
Compared with shooting, we never care about other teams because they don't score more than us."
"Hong Kong Zhen, I can wave my hand, come back from the timeout, and attack with the Magic.
But, I don’t!
Times have changed, offense and defense, I want both!"
After talking about chicken soup, Carlisle still has something to offer. They replaced Butler with Marion and he affected the Mavericks' defensive system.
At the same time, replace Chandler with Haywood.
Chandler committed four fouls, and the physical confrontation was much worse.
At this time, the Mavericks' lineup became Haywood, Marion, Nowitzki, Su Bei and Kidd.
"After the timeout, the Mavericks attacked, and Kidd dribbled the ball to the top arc.
Nowitzki pulled 50 degrees to the right to receive Kidd's pass..."
Su Bei passed through the basket from the right bottom corner and moved to the left. Kidd and Haywood also moved to the left.
On the court, Nowitzki challenged Lewis on the weak side. This offensive basically meant giving away points.
If the Magic wants to reverse the game, in addition to making three-pointers, they must also make contributions on defense and continue to suppress the Mavericks' offensive firepower.
When the Mavericks played their most stable game, Howard let go of Haywood's defense and helped defend.
"Haywood was left open and instead of following to block Howard, he blocked Richardson.
Su Bei passed through the basket again and returned to the bottom corner of the right three-point line. Nowitzki, under the attack of Howard and Lewis, chose to distribute the ball..."
The entire movement of catching the ball, jumping up, and shooting the ball is smooth and smooth without any extra movement.
Su Bei took a three-point shot and the shooting movement was done in one go.
The basketball drew an arc in the air, and with a swish sound, it penetrated the white net.
"In, Su Bei's three-pointer, assist from Nowitzki.
The Mavericks fought back with three-pointers and stopped the bleeding in time.
The Magic were in great momentum just now, but now they are in danger..."
The point difference returned to 11 points.
For the Magic, things are going pretty well.
After all, we were 17 points behind at the beginning.
"In the Magic's offensive round, Nelson Jr. lobbed the ball to Howard.
Warcraft caught the ball and acted like a fool.
Peng——!
Haywood withstood it, his skin was thick enough, and he would not suffer any loss in the confrontation with strength. Marion and Su Bei were assisting in defense and had already come over. Marion attacked on the road, Su Bei attacked on the follow-up, and Howard was about to lose the ball in his hands.
No!
He became reckless and stepped forward to meet the man, trying to cause a foul..."
Bang-dang——!
The shot went wide, but the referee did not blow the whistle.
"Howard couldn't pass the basketball, he forced his shot, he had no skills and no space, and his offense failed.
The Mavericks rebound was taken by Nowitzki and passed to Kidd.
It's the top arc deal again, and Nowitzki's one-on-one challenge again..."
Su Bei continued to move to the left, and Kidd and Haywood also moved to the left.
here we go again!
One trick will make you old!
This time, it was Nelson Jr. who helped defend.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Nowitzki passes the ball to Kidd.
Received the ball at a 75-degree angle on the left side, raised the ball, tapped Carter who was defending him, took a step with the ball, saw Marion cutting into the basket, and immediately hit the ground and passed the ball..."
boom--!
The basketball bounced after hitting the floor. Marion caught the ball and made a layup like he was training.
Swish——!
Easily enter the network in two minutes.
"Beautiful, the Mavericks' offense is very clear.
Haywood's screens, rebounds and basket-making, Su Bei's three-pointers, air cuts, and ball-less containment of defense.
Marion's air cut, Kidd's organizational pass, Nowitzki's unsolvable one-on-one...
If they attack separately, the Mavericks' offensive ability is already good. The key is that the Mavericks can work together and play team basketball, which is extraordinary.
Even more extreme, the Mavericks’ lineup is not only excellent offensively, but also very strong defensively..."
Looking back, the Magic's attack was blocked again.
Hong Kong, the Magic's counterattack is inseparable from Lewis's three-point explosion.
It's just a pity that Lewis is too unstable at this time.
If used as a support, Lewis's killer trait is an offensive point that gives opponents a headache.
However, Lewis is the Magic's main attack point, so the threat is reduced a lot.
Howard's offense is still a little off.
To put it bluntly, there is no dominance.
If it were O'Neal, having Lewis as a three-point shooter would be even more powerful.
But if it's Howard, even with Lewis's three-point containment, if Howard is allowed to attack, can he kill an offensive team like the Mavericks?
The answer is no!
"The Magic's offense is still a bit off!
This is a team that mainly relies on defense to win. It’s just a pity that the Magic’s defensive system has lost strength because it has to take care of the offense..."
He can care about defense but cannot care about offense. He can care about offense but cannot defend himself.
At this moment, the Magic team feels like they have torn down the east wall and been defeated by the west wall.
When you encounter a team that is not top-notch in strength, you can get away with it. When you encounter a top-tier team, whether it is offense or defense, it is nothing.
The Magic's counterattack was off target.
The game was back in control of the Mavericks.
At the end of the third quarter, the Magic defeated the Mavericks with a score of 32-27 and recovered 5 points, but it was still far from enough.
Trailing by 11 points, it entered the final quarter.
"The fourth quarter begins.
Terry was one step away from the three-point line and hit a three-point pull-up jumper."
…
"Balia broke through, changed direction, and made a small throw from close range...
Swish——!
Hit it too!"
…
"Butler caught the ball, looked at the three threats, pulled the ball and shot a three-point pull-up jumper...
Swish——!
Another double hit!
The Magic's defense has been blown away..."
…
The love remains unchanged year after year~
The Magic borrowed another 500 combat power from the sky, but they still couldn't stop the "pride" of the Dallas Mavericks!
"I'll continue my toast, you can do whatever you want!
"
“The Magic’s main players tried their best in the third quarter and fought back desperately to only recover 5 points.
Less than 4 minutes into the fourth quarter, the Magic's main players were still recuperating, and the suspense of the game was gone.
The lineup is inhumane and has no moral ethics, what can you do to support it?"
You can't stand it!
Even if you can withstand the first grade of junior high school, you can't withstand the fifteenth grade!
In the fourth quarter of the game, Chandler, Butler, Stevenson, Terry and Bayali took turns.
The Mavericks almost changed their lineup and were still able to defeat the Magic.
Buzz——!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
The score was 120 to 105. The Mavericks had a 15-point advantage. While ending the Magic's 3-game winning streak, they also extended their winning streak to 5 games per game.
Howard made 5 of 12 shots and 9 of 15 free throws. He scored 19 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal. He played like a defensive superstar and his performance was just okay.
Lewis made 7 of 15 shots, 5 of 13 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 22 points, 5 assists, and 6 rebounds. His performance was quite acceptable.
Carter made 8 of 18 shots, 3 of 7 three-pointers, and 4 of 6 free throws. He scored 23 points, 3 assists, and 5 rebounds. His performance was also average.
The Magic's Big Three scored 64 points together, and their performance was nothing short of outstanding.
It's just a pity that in comparison, they are still not as good as the Mavericks' Big Three.
Nowitzki made 12 of 23 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 8 of 9 free throws. He scored 35 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists, playing like the King of Nowitzki.
Su Bei made 9 of 16 shots, 6 of 11 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 28 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds, without losing the face of the giants.
Kidd made 4 of 8 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 2 of 3 free throws. He scored 12 points, 11 assists, and 7 rebounds. Rounding off, he was just shy of a triple-double. He also did not lose the style of the Big Three.
The Nosuki combination scored 75 offensive points together, so powerful.
In addition, the Mavericks bench crushed the entire league, and the Magic did not lose unfairly!
If you want to blame, blame it, the opponent has no martial ethics!
