Chapter 498: He is not a superstar, but he is the most handsome boy in the league who looks like a superstar!
"Being behind by 6 points, the Thunder stopped pretending. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, they lined up Collison, Durant, Su Bei, Harden and Billups, a lineup that was full of offensive attributes.
The two trump cards of Westbrook and Yin Baka are left to rest. I just want to maintain the strength of the lineup and at the same time continue the endurance of the Yellow River, which is like the flooding of the Yellow River.
The Mavericks' response was very reasonable and they used Nowitzki's trump card!
In the first three quarters of the game, the Carlisle coach calculated and frequently arranged for Nowitzki to rest, so that he could teach Nowitzki, a big killer, and retain the ability to fight from the beginning in the most important fourth quarter.
At the end of the day, the physical fuel tank should be as full as possible, not just a few drops...
Of course, in the first 6 minutes of the fourth quarter, Nowitzki only played a supporting role, and the main attacker was the "double special combination" composed of Carter and Terry.
Waiting until the last 6 minutes is Nowitzki's amazing offensive time, so that he can replicate the scene of winning the championship in 2011.
Their goal is to take advantage of the 6-point lead. As long as they protect the score from being opened up by 5 points in the first 6 minutes, they will win.
For the rest of the time, leave the damn basketball to Nowitzki and it will be sunny.
The fourth quarter started with the Thunder attacking the ball.
Billups and Durant played a pick-and-roll tactic. After using the screen to get rid of Nowitzki, Durant received a hand-to-hand pass from outside the 75-degree three-point line on the right side. He barely adjusted and pulled out.
When the ball comes up, he raises his hand to try for a three-pointer and blindly throws it around.
If you throw it in, death will come!
Even if you can't throw it in, you can still show your responsibility as a master.
Terry, who was out of position and switching defense, tried his best to fly over and interfere, but he was also very confident and knew that he could only bet that Durant's three-point pistol was out of bullets.
Bang-dang——!
You guessed it, Durant's pistol has no bullets.
The basket will not get used to Durant, so he can teach him that Lu Xun once said that if you try it for real, you will die.
Three-point shot, the basketball bounced out of the basket!
"The Mavericks' chance... no, the rebound was snatched away by Collison who was actively fighting for it.
This is the pain of the Dallas Mavericks choosing not to re-sign Tyson Chandler!
Collison got the basketball and was guarded by Yin Anmasinli. He had no room to shoot, but he did not panic and sent the basketball to the left.
Su Bei came in, cut to the basket, caught the ball, jumped up, pressed his hands towards the basket, and there it was..."
Bang-dang——!
Su Bei went to the basket, received Collison's assist, completed the second attack, scored the basketball, and scored two points.
83 to 79!
The point difference narrowed to 4 points.
"Let's put it this way! I used to drive a Dabin... no, I drove a Heywood, but now I can only ride a bicycle... no, I ride a Yin'an Maxinmi...
The Mavericks' inside advantage was instantly gone and turned into a disadvantage..."
In 2011, the Mavericks' first center was Chandler, their second center was Haywood, and their third center was Yin'an Mahinmi.
By 2012, the first center became Haywood, and the second center became Yin An Mahinmi.
The backboard was originally a flaw, but now the flaw has expanded. What can you use to cover it?
You can't stand it!
No choice, facing the aggressive Thunder team.
The Mavericks are not panicking. After all, they have experienced the baptism of the 2011 championship and have become more calm in playing basketball, starting the "landlord" mode.
There is no use in delaying time by asking.
Well, the Thunder can only use words to criticize people, and it is impossible for the Mavericks not to waste time.
"Nowitzki pulled Gao La to catch the ball, set a screen for Carter who was cutting without the ball, blocked Su Bei who was following the defense, and handed the basketball to Carter hand-in-hand.
boom--!
With a quick move, Carter pulled up the ball and hit a two-point pull-up jumper that was close to the buzzer..."
Durant reacted quickly and flew over to block the shot. He tried his best to be proactive, but it was too late and he couldn't reach it. He could only listen to the gunshot.
Bang-dang——!
"Carter's shot was also sent.
The rebound was protected by Collison, who immediately passed the ball to Billups to drive forward. Terry rushed over to press and passed the ball without looking at anyone, and the basketball was given to Su Bei.
Turning around to avoid Nowitzki's steal, Su Bei continued to advance with the ball. Seeing Harden rushing to the frontcourt, he quickly sent the basketball to the frontcourt without sticking to the ball.
Harden took the ball, singled out West, stepped down continuously to change direction, dribbled the ball inward and broke through. While traveling, he suddenly changed direction, pulled the ball and European-stepped the ball for a layup.
West, who was fighting and retreating, was pushed away by Harden. After the body collision, the whistle sounded, and during the foul, Harden took advantage of the situation to complete the layup..."
Beep——!
Bang-dang——!
Amid the regrets of the home fans, Harden's final layup bounced out of the basket and missed the opportunity to play 2+1.
"The impact of Tanhua Lin in 2009 was too strong, which caused a defensive foul on Delonte West and gave him two free throw opportunities.
In terms of foul-drawing ability, Harden is definitely an outstanding player with potential for the Thunder.
This is the spirituality of playing basketball, and ordinary people really can’t learn it.
Two free throws, this is an opportunity for the Thunder to get closer to the score."
Two swish sounds, Harden withstood the pressure, faced the score question, showed no mercy, and made both free throws.
83 to 81!
The score difference was only 2 points.
A wave of 4-0 attacks put a lot of pressure on the Mavericks.
Terry loved these moments the most!
He can show off... no, it's time to play hero.
Terry brought the ball to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Nowitzki, moved inside, broke through and ran back, acted like Billups, and quickly rushed towards Nowitzki who had the ball.
"It was Nowitzki's screen again, blocking Billups and handing the basketball back to Terry.
Outside the 60-degree three-point line on the left, Terry took the ball, took a step, raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Durant actively switched defenses, but Terry's actions were too unreasonable and did not give Durant time to jump out and block the shot. He could only listen to the gunshot.
Bang-dang——!
"still none.
Terry's three points were also sent!
It's a pity that Terry's crazy mode started too early.
Failed to explode in the crucial fourth quarter.
meaning?
The basketball was snatched away by Yin An Mahinmi. The Mavericks still had the right to attack, so they distributed the ball and allowed Terry to reorganize.
What the hell?
OMG!
Terry took the ball, made a move, and then raised his hand to shoot a two-point pull-up jumper..."
So unreasonable!
Who would have thought that Terry could be so brave.
I just tried three points and died.
He got the basketball again and still dared to show off his pull-up shots. Jian Zhang was too wasteful.
However, the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.
Terry is so dark that he is well known to fans. Apart from his headband and jet-like celebrations, the rest is his brainlessness... no, confidence.
Incredible confidence!
Sharp, how did he do it?
This heart is too big.
Swish——!
"Nice goal!
That's Jason Terry's style!
He was frantically testing on the verge of death, but he often made these heroic shots.
He is not a superstar, but he is the most handsome boy in the league who looks like a superstar..."
85 to 81!
Terry withstood the pressure and showed his true qualities as a killer like a superstar.
However, the Thunder team has no way to complete this.
That's unreasonable Terry!
Who can keep up with him?
You can't follow!
It’s not surprising that you can’t prevent it.
Fortunately, no matter how hard Terry played, he only scored two points.
It's just that the scene seems very passionate, which invisibly adds a lot of points to him, but the Thunder's advantage has not disappeared and is still on their side.
"Billups brought the ball to the frontcourt and immediately distributed the ball to Harden for a breakthrough.
Then, pass the ball back to Billups, another familiar task..."
The kind of copy!
Durant moved from the left to the right, and with the help of Billups's screen, he got rid of Nowitzki, got the basketball, and immediately broke through with the ball.
"Terry made a defensive switch and Durant made a shot... No, this was a prayer, a fake shot and a real surprise.
Terry was played, played by the scoring champion, he couldn't help but be fooled...
Durant continued his raid and headed towards the penalty area, leaving only the basket in front of him.
What?
Durant did not wave, but passed the ball to the left basket, and Su Bei rushed in..."
Carter turned around in panic, only to see Su Bei flying up, using a civilian-style layup, and sent the damn basketball into the basket...
Swish——!
"Two points scored!
The 'Poisonous Combination'' connection broke through the Mavericks' defense and scored 2 points.
There is a problem with the Mavericks' rim protection.
Faced with the Thunder's attack-to-the-basket style, we can only focus on one thing and lose the other..."
85 to 83!
The score difference became 2 points.
The Thunder are very strong in chasing points and their offense is unstoppable.
The Mavericks also seem to be aware of this problem. Without their physical advantage, it is impossible, absolutely impossible for them to block the Thunder's impact on defense.
However, the Mavericks couldn't defend, and they were confident that the Thunder wouldn't be able to defend either.
Since the defense can't stop it, let's fight!
To be honest, in terms of offensive ability, the Mavericks are really not afraid to compete with any team.
There was a time when they were one of the best, if not the second, best offensive teams in the league.
In order to compete for the championship in the playoffs, they will change to a balanced approach and focus on defensive attributes. This does not mean that they have lost their offensive firepower.
"It was Nowitzki who got the ball again and beat Durant in a post-up. Subei let Carter go and launched a zone defense against Nowitzki.
In the fourth quarter, James is the most dangerous in the league.
In the 2011 Finals, neither James nor Wei's total score in the fourth quarter could match Nowitzki's. Obviously, Subei understands Nowitzki best..."
Of course, Su Bei's operation also bullied Carter into not having a solid three-point shot.
However, Su Bei was soon slapped in the face.
Nowitzki continued to play the supporting role. Instead of attacking, he distributed the ball to the left three-point corner. Carter received the ball, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper...
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Carter accurately hit a three-pointer.
"nice shot!
Very nice!
Nowitzki played very clearly, and Carter also shot very well.
Using a three-pointer that was not very harmful, but extremely insulting, the Thunder team knew that double-teaming Nowitzki would teach them a lesson.
Of course, if there is no double attack, Nowitzki's one-on-one challenge with Durant will also be a scoreless question..."
This is what a superstar does on the court.
As long as the teammates are reliable and defensive, they will not be able to stand up to them.
88 to 83!
The point difference widened to 5 points.
The Thunder team's operation was so fierce that when I looked at the score, it was 200.
In the duel with the Mavericks, the offense was full of firepower, but they only recovered 1 point. It was really annoying.
Next, both sides' respective attacks missed the target.
Three minutes into the fourth quarter, Scott Brooks couldn't sit still.
Using Westbrook and Yin Baka, replaced Billups and Collison, and sent out the Thunder's fourth youngster Su Bei, an offensive lineup with full offensive attributes.
On the Mavericks side, this lineup seems to be playing well, and no adjustments have been made to let the bullets fly a little longer!
