Nowitzki took the lead in taking turns to shoot at high and low positions, with an efficiency of nearly 50%. He shot 9 times in 6 minutes after the second quarter and hit 4 goals. His touch saved his efficiency.

In order to avoid Pacers' assisted defense, he chose to shoot at mid-range and long distances more.

The advantage of doing this is that there are very few people who can block him, and at most they will only interfere with his actions.

He feels good, which is why he has poor offensive choices but his shooting percentage is still close to 50%.

Execute more mid- and long shots, and more long rebounds will pop up.

Why do you think the pace of the small ball era is fast? Long rebounds are basically beyond the control of the inside line. The guards and wingers can then fight back after grabbing the long rebound. Therefore, the pace of the small ball era is not decent.

Nowitzki's offensive choices allow people to experience the rhythm of the game in the era of small balls in advance.

Xie Hou's counterattack was impeccable from launch to end.

After halftime, the Mavericks did not narrow the score, but instead expanded the score difference because they could not resist the Pacers' counterattack.

59 to 45

A 14-point backward, such a big gap is a significant psychological burden for many people.

Kirilenko performed well in the first half and made a comeback after many days. This game is worthy of fireworks for fans to celebrate.

He helped the team in many ways with 14 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks in the first half.

"Andre, what are the things that made you excited in the first half?"

"There are a lot, and I have to thank my teammates." Kirilianko said bluntly. "At the beginning of the game, I had a poor shooting percentage. They always believed in me and asked me to attack and take responsibility. Their passes made me score easily, and I gradually found the feeling of the game."

The reporter continued to ask: "You have won the highest single-game score in your career against the Mavericks. Do you have the confidence to break the record in the remaining half?"

This question was obviously a joke by the reporter.

Kirirenko laughed and said, "Then I might need 40 shots. I can't be so selfish. Arthur will put me on the injury list."

It can be seen that the walker's chemistry is very good.

Kirilenko replaced Tim Thomas, who has been the starting lineup since joining the team.

As the starter, Thomas's defensive ability is not comparable to that of Kirilenko, but he has a more stable three-point shooting technique and dirty movement habits also add a defensive net to the penalty area.

Kirilenko replaced his starter as soon as he came back, and critics believe that the Pacers have two hurdles to overcome.

One was Thomas' reaction.

The other is whether Kirilenko can make the team have a good chemistry.

As a result, Thomas doesn't care whether the main force is the main force or not. The interview at this time further proves that the best Pacers are returning.

Although O'Neal Jr. and Kirirenko are not back to their former standards, they are willing to lower their abilities and positioning that are different from the past.

"This is the first time I feel this season that they can complete a great three-game championship." Bobby Leonard said excitedly after watching the interview with Kirilenko.

George McGuinness complained: "If it weren't for the damn Auburn Mountain world, maybe they had already completed four consecutive championships!"

Leonard smiled and said, "Maybe."

McGuinness didn't expect Leonard to agree with him completely, "Bobby, do you have any other opinions?"

"You might be surprised if I say that, but if there were no Auburn Hill Palace incident, maybe the Pacers wouldn't be the team we're familiar with later."

"The team was isolated and Arthur was in poor form, but he had to take on the responsibility of 30 or even 40 shots every night. The most reliable player around him was 40-year-old Reggie Miller." Leonard said cautiously, "I think that such an environment has trained Arthur's mind and made him know that NBA is not that easy."

McGuinness failed to transfer his sarcastic ability to talk about the big talk and when he needed to debate, he was exhausted.

I can only stick to my own point of view and repeat the machine just like Teacher Six: "But I still think that if there were no such things, the three consecutive championships would have been achieved."

"Thinking of this may be disrespectful to the Spurs of 0405, but I agree with you." Leonard smiled, "If there were no such a broken incident in Auburn Mountain on the night of November 19, 2004, the Pacers would definitely have the strength to win the cup."

However, such Pacers, who have not experienced the test, may not be able to reproduce the greatness of Tianwang Mountain and Game 6 in the 2007 Finals, facing the extremely vicious and peaked Spurs team.

This is the unspoken word in Leonard's heart.

Some things, seemingly great disasters, may not be the blessings given by God. The lessons and experiences learned from suffering combine walking people, allowing them to unite and always believe that they can overcome difficulties when facing greater difficulties.

Leonard believes that the experience of the 2004-2005 season was the key reason why Xie Hou could play the No. 4 position for two consecutive months, and the Pacers could awaken from the slump that seemed to collapse at any time.

In the intermission room, Claire pointed out the penalty area: "Let's be clear, mid- and long-distance shooting baskets can't kill us."

"What can really kill us is that Dirk can still get into the paint area and score at any time after opening a long shot; Devin Harris breaks through the offensive basket as he wishes and gives the pass to the outside shooter."

"If the Mavericks can't do these two things, I believe we will win!" Claire said heavily.

His words inspired everyone's morale, and Thibodeau shouted: "Take your energy out! The defense is more fierce! Let them know what the Banker Life Stadium is!"

People in the locker room stood up and roared, and Thibodeau's words ended perfectly for this high-quality half-time summary.

As the game entered the second half, the Mavericks' offensive center of gravity shifted from Nowitzki to the outside.

They have two outside players with the ability to play with the ball, one is Harris and the other is Starkhouse.

If you have a certain understanding of the walker, you will not do the wrong multiple-choice questions.

But the Mavericks did something wrong. They did not believe that Harris could blow up the Pacers' defense, but instead hoped that Starkhouse would reappear at his peak and nowitzky would stage a scene of blooming inside and outside.

If Starkhouse had that kind of strength, he wouldn't have committed himself to the Mavericks' sixth man.

Starkhouse scored two goals in a row, which brought the Mavericks the illusion of tactical success.

They implemented this strategy firmly.

The Pacers' attack, Xie Hou forced himself to eat the depressed Harris.

The ball hit Harris was fascinated by it, as if he was in a dream, and he could not defend himself at all.

The second goal, they learned to be smart and let Josh Howard defend.

Xie Hou was not the sadistic man who taught the defender a lesson. He played for two months as a power forward, as long as he was not an inside player, he was misplaced.

Howard's weight of nearly 100 kilograms was dizzy under the damage of Xie Hou's 106 kilograms of body.

Xie Hou bumped three times in a row.

In the third impact, he knocked Howard out of the paint area. The scene was so exaggerated that the child opened his mouth wide. It was no wonder that parents suggested setting the eighteen ban label for the Pacers' race.

Seeing Howard as strong as a rock flew out of the field, Xie Hou turned around and picked up the basket, and made a strong shot from the inside, hitting the ball.

Starkhouse scored consecutive goals, and Xie Hou returned in the same way, and the Mavericks began to have problems.

Starkhouse's efficiency cannot last long. This old man was also known as Jordan's successor in his early years. As Jordan's junior brother, he was taught by North Carolina and was also influenced by Dean Smith. However, his offensive efficiency and shooting percentage were not only beneficial for slandering all the senior brothers in North Carolina, making coach Smith look dull, and setting a bad example for his later juniors.

His career average of 40.9% shooting percentage is not enough for a swingman who is sufficient in size and has a strong physical fitness.

His "craft" was learned by Barnes, a junior brother of the North Carolina Blackhawks, after many years. In that perfect 73-win season, his condition suddenly changed drastically, especially his performance in the last three games of the finals. His strength interprets his true nature of being dared to let go, he dared not to make a shot, and he dared not to make another shot. He almost destroyed the perfect season of unvoted MVP with his own strength, helping Coach Lu create and resolutely implement the tactic of double-teaming players in the future. 1.

1 To be fair, Barnes played well in the regular season, but was defeated by ghosts in the playoffs, and his 46.6% shooting rate dropped by 38.5%. Especially in the finals, he let the Warriors attack four or five in various attacks. The Cavaliers dared to let at least two people hold the unticket MVP in each round. On the offensive end, they were called pick-and-roll misplaced and chased the unticket MVP. This is the real killing. Of course, the unticket MVP itself is not good at it. I have complained about the three-pointer that beats Love countless times.

Starkhouse, who has been in a regular position to start, contributed his career average and averaged 40% of his shooting percentage.

Scoring two consecutive singles has increased his confidence. No one from Nowitzki can see it. The top-notch attack is common and can't even shout.

If he is efficient, it will be fine to fight like this.

It is precisely because of his inefficiency that the Mavericks, who was 14 points behind, lost the power to fight back.

After several singles missed, the Mavericks could not hold back when Xie Hou's counterattack after taking the defensive rebound.

After several easy counterattacks back and forth, the difference was to 21 points.

The Mavericks called a timeout, replaced Starkhouse, and repositioned Harris as the core of the outside offense.

This is called, when the milk comes, the child starves to death.
