Chapter 4: When your scoring ability is maxed out, Im asking you if youre afraid!
On April 19, the second match will be held at the American Airlines Center Arena.
With a score of 15 points and a 15-point advantage, the Mavericks made another victory and took a big 2-0 lead.
Hong Kong True, the Trail Blazers played well in the first three quarters and were on par with the Mavericks.
In terms of hardness, they are not inferior to the Mavericks, but in terms of durability, they cannot compare.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers were in a state like dead leaves and were swept away by the Mavericks like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
"It's not so much that the Trail Blazers lost to the Mavericks' bench depth, but rather that they lost to Nowitzki's superstar status.
After scoring 18 points in the fourth quarter of the previous game to seal the victory, Nowitzki continued his superb form in the G2 game, scoring 14 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist in a single quarter, leading the Mavericks to full firepower.
, beat the Trail Blazers by a score..."
Su Bei's two three-pointers in the fourth quarter raised his personal score to 23 points. Compared with Nowitzki's personal show, it seemed that he was really here to assist Nowitzki.
I originally thought that in the previous life, Nowitzki's extraordinary brave performance in the fourth quarter only appeared in the finals against the Heat. Unexpectedly, Nowitzki was braver than imagined.
At the beginning of the first round of the tournament, Nowitzki was already super impressive...
April 21, Rose Garden Arena.
The G3 game between the Mavericks and Trail Blazers was moved to the home court of the Trail Blazers.
The Trail Blazers still had the same set of cards, but when they returned to their home court, they played stronger and more accurately.
“Magic defeated magic!
The Mavericks focus on jump shots, but in this game, they faced the Trail Blazers who were willing to risk their lives and protected by the referee's whistle. Their shooting accuracy was lost.
Made 9 of 22 three-point field goals.
But the Trail Blazers made 8 of 14 three-point shots, and the Mavericks had no advantage in rebounding. The key is that Nowitzki became mediocre in the fourth quarter, only 3 of 7 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 9 points.
3 rebounds, not a super performance..."
The Mavericks were defeated by the Trail Blazers with a 5-point advantage, and the score became 2-1.
No way, the Trail Blazers were too accurate in this game, and they played it as a life and death battle. The rhythm of the game completely fell into the hands of the Trail Blazers.
“In terms of fighting spirit, the Mavericks still can’t compare.
Of course, the Mavericks also have the mentality of ‘let you go’ and ‘understand that letting you go means letting yourself go’…”
To put it bluntly, the Mavericks also play an extra home court, which is also part of the show.
Make money, don’t be shabby!
If they really try their best, the Trail Blazers really have no chance!
This was the case in the G4 game two days later. After the first three quarters of the game, the Mavericks led the Trail Blazers by 22 points. It can be said that they defeated the Trail Blazers on both offense and defense.
In the previous life of Jiangsu Province, in the G4 game, the Mavericks finished the first three quarters and led the Trail Blazers by 20 points. They thought that the overall situation was determined and they could call it quits.
Unexpectedly, Huang Mamba was able to burn himself even though his knees were completely disabled!
In the fourth quarter of the game, Meng returned to the superstar talent of the second shooting guard in the Western Conference. He made 8 of 10 one-on-one shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws. He scored 18 points, 4 assists, and 2 rebounds in a single quarter, and had the final goal.
In three minutes, the explosive performance of 12 points and 2 assists led the Trail Blazers to a wave of scores and achieved a heart-stirring reversal.
Of course, Luo Yin returned to strength, but the rest of the game was ruined.
In this life, the Mavericks have Su Bei, but the Trail Blazers don't have Luo Yin. The script of a super comeback has not appeared.
According to the score, the Mavericks made another victory with an 18-point advantage, taking a 3-1 lead by a big score, and got the match point of the series.
Two days later, at the American Airlines Center.
Night falls.
At this time, the Mavericks' home court ushered in their first-round G5 game with the Trail Blazers.
From the beginning of the first quarter, Su Bei's three-point rain ignited the Mavericks' offensive firepower, making the Trail Blazers unable to find North.

"Not every team is the Warriors or the Spurs and can pull off an upset.
In the first round of the playoffs, the upper-tier team versus the lower-tier team, the advantage is still very obvious..."
Hong Kong, the Trail Blazers picked the wrong opponent.
The Spurs, who are troubled by injuries, have no chance to grab the Thunder or the Mavericks.
By the way, the competition in the Western Conference playoffs has indeed been fierce in recent years, but this year, the difference in strength between the championship teams and the playoff teams is not 100 million points.
"We have entered the era of the Big Three, do you still think it is one city, one star, or a dual-core era?
Times have changed..."
As for the score, the Mavericks did not give any more face and defeated the Trail Blazers with a 21-point advantage. The score was 4 to 1 and advanced to the next round.
Hong Kong, the Trail Blazers did not lose unfairly. Nowitzki averaged 30 points and 9 rebounds in these 5 games in the series.
In addition, in the G5 game, Nowitzki made 3 of 4 shots and 8 of 8 free throws in the fourth quarter, scoring 14 points and 2 rebounds. His scoring ability was at full capacity. Are you afraid?
In this series, Subei averaged 18 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds per game, which was a pretty average performance.
After defeating the Trail Blazers, the Lakers didn't wait too long the next day. They returned to their home court and beat the Rockets by 26 points with a score of 4-1. They also advanced to the next round with a score of 4-1.
The Mavericks VS Lakers matchup is officially announced and will start on the evening of April 30th.
Another set of duels also happened quickly. The Thunder beat the Nuggets 4-1. The Grizzlies successfully missed the match and completed a double-digit miracle against the Spurs with a score of 4-2.
…
April 30, Staples Center Arena.
Night falls.
At this time, the home court of the Lakers was about to usher in the G1 game of the Mavericks' semifinals. The lights were bright and there was a sea of people.
When Su Bei just stepped into the stadium, what he heard was not harsh boos, but welcoming applause.
Su Bei was also very cooperative, waving and greeting the former fans.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! During the warm-up, Kobe and Gasol chatted with Nowitzki and Kidd about a few cents, and they did not forget to bring Su Bei with them.
After all, Su Bei stayed in this arena for three full years.
How many three years does a basketball life last?
Moreover, after three years of flying glory, I still have to give this face, even if it is made of plastic.
At this time, the lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
The five Lakers, Bynum, Gasol, Artest, Kobe, Fisher.
Five players from the Mavericks, Chandler, Nowitzki, Marion, Su Bei, Kidd.
This game will be broadcast live on TNT radio, with Barkley and Kenny Smith providing commentary.
“This is a Western Conference Finals that starts early.
After the Spurs fall behind, whoever can win this group of games, the Lakers or the Mavericks, will have a great chance of breaking through from the Western Conference.
Frankly speaking, I'm not looking down on the Thunder and Grizzlies, but they are trash in front of the Lakers or Mavericks, I'm saying that.
This series is the most critical. If I had to guess a winning percentage, I hope it would be 6-4, with the Lakers at 6 and the Mavericks at 4.
The question is to play in the playoffs, the Lakers are professionals.
The specialty of the Mavericks is the regular season, and the playoffs are just for fun."
"I don't think so.
Regardless of their experience, lineup coordination, and tactical play, the Lakers can be said to be the best choice for the championship.
However, in terms of desire to win, the Mavericks are definitely the best in the entire league.
They have only one chance, after waiting for so many years, to prove themselves and get back what they have lost..."
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high into the air. Bynum defeated Chandler and won the first possession of the ball for the Lakers.
Kobe charged forward, but Su Bei did not follow. Marion took the lead to explore the water.
Su Bei follows Artest.
"Fisher got the basketball and didn't take a chance to make a sneak attack. He pushed it to the frontcourt without any haste, immediately passed the ball to Artest, and then cut inside into the penalty area.
Artetes received the ball from beyond the three-point line and lobbed the ball to Gasol.
Fisher and Gasol's off-ball screen tactics failed, and Kidd followed closely..."
There is no way to attack without air cuts. If it doesn't work once, then do it the second time!
Artest followed closely and also cut in. With Gasol's screen, Su Bei was blocked.
"Artetes received Gasol's pass and took off from close range..."
Bang-dang——!
The opportunity came up, but Artest failed to use it, and all his close shots were missed.
"Chandler's rim protection is good, and he's not afraid of Artest hitting anyone..."
The basketball was protected by Nowitzki, who passed the ball to Kidd to advance, brought it to the top arc of the front court, and observed it.
Su Bei was guarded by Artest.
Marion was taken care of by Kobe and the wing had no chance.
Chandler could rule out that the best chance was that he met Fisher.
But he had a pressing number in mind and knew that he was playing base and not attacking, so he chose to play it safe and played Nowitzki's card.
"On the right, Nowitzki received the ball from outside the three-point line, but Gasol did not guard it.
Nowitzki did not try a three-pointer, but dribbled the ball inside to break through. Artest switched defense, and Nowitzki flicked his hands and gave the basketball to the open Su Bei..."
Just catch the ball, jump up, and raise your hand to shoot a three-point jump shot...
There is no extraneous movement in the entire shooting movement, but no matter how standard the shooting posture is, luck still comes.
Bang-dang——!
The basketball was on top of the basket, turned half a circle, and still rolled out.
At the beginning of the game, neither side had the first attack, and it was a lonely fight!
