Chapter 128 The winning streak ends
In the game between the Spurs and the Mavericks, shortly after the start of the third quarter, the point difference became wider and wider. Due to the downturn of Radar, it caused a chain reaction, because Radar accounted for most of the Spurs' ball rights, and when he performed abnormally
, the Spurs can easily fall behind.
Looking at the 16-point difference, Radar knew that he could not sit still and wait for death. The Spurs' winning streak must continue.
Super Aim Deployed!
Mills dribbled the ball across half court and reached the top of the arc. Radar made a move to get the ball from Mills at a 45-degree angle.
Mills did not hesitate. Although Radar's performance today was not as good as before, he is still the Spurs' strongest point. It is no problem to give him the ball, let him shoot or organize and distribute the ball.
After receiving the ball, Radar gave Doncic a back-up. Doncic bullied him and tried to defend close to Radar. Suddenly Radar turned over and made a jump shot. Radar started to take super aim, but the existence of Nengri Goddess was there.
, as long as the shot is not blocked by Doncic, the shot will definitely hit.
The Spurs' home fans once again burst into long-awaited applause and cheers.
Doncic attacked with the ball, but was double-teamed by Radar and Murray. Under heavy defense, the ball was cut off by Radar.
After the radar interception, there was a familiar formula and a familiar taste. He chased for a three-pointer and hit the target with one shot.
"Thunder God, Thunder God..."
"MVP, MVP..."
MVP cheers rang out again at the Spurs' home court. Radar scored 6 points in a row, immediately narrowing the point difference to 10 points, making Spurs fans excited again.
As if it was a repeat of the previous goal, Radar and Murray continued to double-team Doncic. This time Doncic was smart and used his height to lift the ball high and pass it to Tim Hardaway Jr.
Hardaway Jr. did not hesitate at all after receiving the ball, and directly shot a three-pointer. The radar was unable to cover up, and Mills' cover was also a step slower. That is to say, the Mavericks' overall touch is better today, and they can hit consecutive three-pointers.
The next scene is a battle between Radar alone and Doncic and Hardaway of the Mavericks.
The two sides went back and forth, fighting for 300 rounds, and it was difficult to distinguish. In terms of hit rate, Radar was definitely better, but the Mavericks' previous lead, and the nearly five-minute battle, allowed them to still have the upper hand.
A 10-point lead.
The time for super aiming is over. This is a scene that Radar has never experienced. The previously invincible super aiming can always equalize or even overtake the score, shocking fans, opponents, and even teammates. But today, they encountered Doncic and
Hardaway and Hardaway are two guys with explosive hands.
There is nothing you can do about it. You often walk by the river and your shoes don’t get wet. After playing so many games, you will always encounter opponents who perform exceptionally or even superbly.
Just like Curry and Thompson, they are not accurate in every game, but as for Klay, he once scored 60+ points in three quarters. When the touch comes, he is really unstoppable.
Shortly after the Super Target ended, Radar was replaced by Popovich. No matter how big the score difference was, Radar's physical fitness had to be ensured, not to mention that they had to go to Salt Lake City tomorrow, which was a more difficult game.
After Radar came off the field, the organization of the field was handed over to Murray, and Carroll replaced Radar.
The good news is that after Radar came off the court, Doncic's touch disappeared and he failed to hit two consecutive shots. The Spurs seized the opportunity and Murray passed the ball to Ade and Boltel, scoring four points in a row.
In the following games, the Spurs, with Ade as the core of their offense, were finally able to stabilize the situation and were not allowed to open up the score to the Mavericks. At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs trailed by 8 points, 76 to 84.
Three minutes into the fourth quarter, Radar appeared again. After trying a shot and being blocked by Doncic, Radar began to control the court, mainly passing the ball and assisting.
They still play inside. Although the Spurs' inside line is weak, the Mavericks' inside line is not much better. With radar distribution, Aldridge and Boltelle can suppress Powell and Boban Marjanovic on the offensive end.
Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Spurs had already chased the score to only 2 points, and the home fans had already seen the hope of a comeback.
At this time, it was Doncic and Hardaway Jr. who stepped forward again. First, Doncic singled out Murray for a layup, and then Doncic provided a screen for Hardaway, allowing Hardaway to escape the radar defense and successfully break through.
Go to the basket, complete the layup and cause Boltel's defensive foul.
The point difference suddenly opened to seven points again. Radar chose to break through. After passing Doncic, he used a change of direction to avoid Seth Curry's blockage. Unexpectedly, Powell was just standing in the penalty area. Radar used Wade's shot
The move Mi Xun Bu passed him by, but unexpectedly the referee called an offensive foul.
This ball is indeed controversial. First of all, Powell's footing is not stable and he has a tendency to rush forward. The radar did not collide with him head-on.
Radar and referee theory, after some debate, the referee insisted on the original decision and maintained the dignity that the referee should have.
On the same day, Radar cursed in his heart. Originally, he felt bad today and was having a hard time playing. He even used super aim in advance, but he got another foul. This was Radar's fourth personal foul in this game. If he had known it before,
In the game, the game with the most radar was 4 fouls, and today I can count as equaling my own record.
The Mavericks picked up an offensive opportunity in vain, but they would never let it go. Doncic made a sudden score and assisted Boban to put the layup under the basket, adding two more points.
Forced to have no choice, Radar once again chose to activate the enhanced buff and broke through with the ball. It was very easy to pass Doncic, and the speed increased a lot. Doncic could not keep up with Radar's rhythm. Powell repeated his old tricks, but Radar still lost track.
He completed the one-handed chop in one step, and the referee did not give Radar a foul this time.
Radar had just completed a layup, and the Mavericks called for a long timeout. This made Radar so angry that he didn't call him sooner or later, but you called a timeout when I used the enhancement buff.
After the timeout, the Mavericks' offense worked again. Doncic made a layup to complete Ade's foul and executed two free throws.
The long pause time, plus the free throws and substitution time in the middle, almost consumes all the time of the radar enhancement buff.
Helpless, helpless, when all coincidences come together, the radar is powerless.
At the last moment, Radar still tried its best to attack the inside. If the shooting rate was not good, it would cause fouls. Even if Radar made 4 of 4 free throws, it still could not prevent the Mavericks from continuing to open up the score.
In the end, the Dallas Mavericks defeated the San Antonio Spurs 114-106, ending the Spurs' 13-game winning streak.
At the end of the game, the star of the game was given to Doncic of the Mavericks, with 34 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Doncic's performance today was completely at the All-Star level.
Radar's scoring mainly relied on those few minutes of super targeting in the third quarter. He scored 24 points, 13 assists, 4 rebounds and 4 steals. Although the statistics were not bad, they were much inferior to the previous games.
After the game, Lida once again took the blame in the locker room, and his teammates comforted him in the same way. Victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs. It's just the outcome of a game, so don't take it seriously.
The 13-game winning streak is over. The Spurs still have the best record in the league. As long as they survive these two days, wait until Danny Green returns home, Towns arrives, and even a mysterious foreign aid, the Spurs will inevitably
Chapter completed!
