Chapter 56 I Really Don't Want to Strike Iron

In the second quarter, Radar wanted to continue working, but Popovich insisted on letting Radar rest for 5 minutes. Mr. Popovich was very patient with Radar, just like the Chinese people are with the national treasure giant panda. He was moved by Radar and learned about it.

Li, you are still young, don't care too much about playing time and data, you have to protect yourself. Last time Yao came here, he also hoped that we would not overuse you, and gave us a "Radar Instruction Manual". We still communicate well.

Yeah, don't let us down, don't let Dayao down, etc.

After talking about it, Radar had no choice but to move a small bench and sit on the sidelines, high-fiving Murray, Mills and others to watch their performance.

Not to mention, Murray performed pretty well today and had a good shooting touch. He may have stolen the radar's shooting percentage.

Murray first completed a mid-range shot, then assisted Carroll for a layup, and received a pass from Mills and completed another three-pointer.

The Spurs' bench and the Mavericks were also inseparable. On the Mavericks' side, Courtney Lee showed off his true qualities as a shooter and hit consecutive shots, helping the Mavericks close the gap.

The worst thing today was the point guard and center of the Mavericks. Bortle did not take a break. Boban Marjanovic did not take advantage of Bortle and instead suffered two fouls.

.

Point guard JJ Barea, with a height of 1.77cm, is completely inadequate compared to Murray's height and wingspan in terms of blocking shots and steals. After all, Barea is not Thomas Jr., and he is not the strongest 177cm on the planet.

The breakthrough point of the starting lineup is the inside line, and the breakthrough point of the substitute lineup is the point guard. The Mavericks replaced Seth Curry, but there was still no way. The guard was overwhelmed, so they had to let Hardaway Jr. come on to replace the point guard.

Radar rested for five minutes, and finally walked to the sidelines to wait for the opportunity to play when the ball was dead. The old man took advantage of the weak point guard of the Mavericks and asked Radar and Murray to play at the same time to kill you while you were sick!

Boltel went to rest. He will be needed in the next game. Ade is back, and there is another lineup with one big and four small. Gay will go to the 4th position and DeRozan will be at the 3rd position.

This is very painful for DeRozan. He was not in good condition today, and now he has to face Doncic. Who knows how uncomfortable it is for him.

Radar's style of play in this game was to bully your defenders and centers, continuously pass the ball to disrupt the Mavericks' defense, fake shots and pass the ball to Ade, and complete the layup.

In the last two minutes of the second quarter, Radar received a pass from Murray and finally scored the first 3-pointer of the game.

Radar: Murray, did you steal my shooting percentage? Otherwise, why did you make 2 of 2 three-pointers? I only made 1 of 4 today.

Murray: Brother, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!

But when Radar made another three-point shot, the basketball swayed on the rim for two times, but it was impossible to enter the net.

Ade looked at the ball under the basket and said, finish it quickly. I'm tired of lifting my head. Hey, here's the rebound!

After grabbing the rebound, Ade made a tip-in.

The American Airlines Arena was completely silent. In the second quarter, the Spurs went from the bench to the starting lineup. The Spurs relied on the continuous performance of Ade and Boltel in the paint, and with the assistance of Murray and Radar, the Spurs had already opened the point difference to 10 points.

Doncic couldn't sit still, crushed DeRozan and completed the mid-range shot, returning the favor.

But after all, DeRozan was once known as the Dragon King of the North. With the help of Gay's screen, he went directly to the basket and made a small throw.

After that, in the second quarter, both teams scored goals and made mistakes. After a single game, the Spurs still led 54 to 46 by 8 points.

"I never thought that I could play like this in the NBA." During halftime, in the Spurs locker room, Boltel told Radar.

"Man, you have to feel comfortable playing basketball. Professional basketball and non-professional basketball have one thing in common. We must love him," Reda responded with a smile, conquering another teammate.

In the first half, the Spurs became a city of alley-oops. Just like Paul, Griffin and DeAndre Jordan did back then, Radar, Boltel and Aldridge also played alley-oops today.

In the second half, the game changed sides, Powell was directly benched, and Boban Marjanovic came on as a substitute.

The Mavericks changed their lineup in the second half, putting Hardaway at the point guard and Courtney Lee at the shooting guard, so that their guard lineup would be more impressive.

Radar returned to the court and tried another long shot. Sure enough, the Dallas basket was very unfriendly to him today. He made 1 of 5 three-pointers and a 20% shooting rate, which was unprecedented.

I really don’t want to strike, I really don’t just want to assist, I really want to score!

The Mavericks also seized the opportunity. Porzingis received a pass from Hardaway inside and threw the ball into the basket against Ade.

Radar, who had a bad hand, continued his passing journey. Ah De, Bortle, and Gay kept eating cakes, especially Bortle, who was smiling from ear to ear.

In the third quarter of the game, Porzingis and Doncic of the Mavericks both performed well, closing the score difference to 75-80.

The decisive moment came in the fourth quarter. In the first half, the two sides were still the same as the first three quarters. The Spurs focused on the inside, and the Mavericks relied on Doncic's shooting and breakthrough to keep the score difference tight.

With 3 minutes left in the game, Doncic hit another 3-point long shot, chasing the score to 91-93. The Spurs' advantage was about to be exhausted.

Radar continued to feed Ade, but unexpectedly Ade was called for an offensive foul on his layup and lost the ball.

Although Ah De played well inside today, he also received five fouls and had to leave the game early to rest.

Without Aldridge's restriction, Porzingis' restraints were lifted and he scored directly from the mid-range shot to tie the score.

The Spurs attacked. Radar again brought the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to DeRozan. DeRozan hesitated and passed the ball back. Radar passed the ball to Gay. Gay was targeted by Porzingis again and passed it to DeRozan again.

radar.

Radar: Okay, last time I tried a 3-pointer, I had to rely on a breakthrough if I couldn't score.

Outside the three-point line, Hardaway kept an eye on the radar, and the radar dribbled the ball in a fancy way, hovering near the three-point line. Suddenly he stepped back and shot directly.

The basketball cut through the sky of the American Airlines Arena in Dallas, a beautiful parabola, from low to high, and from high to low, quickly approaching the basket.

"Huh!" The radar breathed a long sigh of relief and finally entered.

The Spurs regained their 3-point lead, and Doncic fired again from the outside, bringing the atmosphere at American Airlines Arena to a climax.

Radar did not choose 3 points, but chose a more confident breakthrough. The Mavericks did not have a defensive gate inside. Radar used his speed to pass three people in a row, and succeeded in a layup between Boban and Porzingis.

.

But during the counterattack, Porzingis returned the favor with a layup, tying the score again.

Radar scored a goal, Doncic scored a goal, Radar broke through and hit a layup, Boshen hit another layup, Radar made two free throws for a foul, and Hardaway immediately scored another two points. The score continued to rise alternately until

In the 38 seconds before the end, the two teams were tied at 102-102.

The Spurs called for a timeout. The old man was very hesitant. Who should give the final offensive opportunity?

The Spurs play a fast break and may have one more attack time. If time is wasted and everything is scored, but fails to score, then it will give Dallas a chance, and then the Spurs will implement foul tactics to win the final victory.
