Chapter 63 The first two pairs
“Excellent!”
Li Feng's dunk after a long-distance raid made Natalie unable to help but wave her little fist. This kind of venting made Natalie feel very happy!
This is a common phenomenon in basketball. When players you are optimistic about do things beyond your imagination, you will always be so excited that you can't help yourself.
Howard, no, it should be the entire Dallas cowboy, in the face of Li Feng's violent dunk.
It’s not that they don’t work hard enough, nor that they don’t have enough strength. The Dallas Mavericks are a team that is good at attacking. Even if Johnson and Carlisle emphasize defense, their souls are always engraved with "offensive attack and attack again!"
When the Grizzlies overtook the score in the third quarter, the Mavericks lost their lead!
Two points, this is not much!
It's just a ball gap, only two points, but for the Dallas Mavericks, these two points are like a natural chasm standing in front of them and can never be overcome.
On the surface, the Mavericks have many offensive points, but this situation only happens when the team plays a tailwind. They have indeed performed well in the first half, but once the Grizzlies catch up with the score and overtake them, these people disappear from the far end of the sky like meteors passing through the sky.
The Mavericks are good at adding icing on the cake, and now, they only need Nowitzki.
The ironwork, whether to make a blacksmith or a blacksmith, wasting opportunities again and again also reduced Nowitzki's confidence in them little by little.
But the more this happens, the more unscrupulously the Grizzlies double-team the King of Nuo. In the end, the basketball had to be handed over to Howard to complete the attack.
When Mayo was able to follow Howard, the Grizzlies did not need to assist in defense, which made Howard not have a pass line at all, and he could only go on his own.
Come on!
When facing Mayo, who is shorter than him, what else can hesitate? But for some reason, Howard was always in a panic.
With Mayo squeezed in, Howard took action. He took the initiative to make more physical contact with Mayo in order to create difficulties when Mayo jumped.
"You can't jump high yourself, so you can't jump high."
Howard, who has an advantage in height, has an idea and is ready to force Mayo.
Mayo was squeezed by Howard, and even taking off seemed very difficult.
But that doesn't mean that the same is true for everyone else on the Grizzlies.
When Howard put his mind on Mayo, the other Grizzlies' defenses were in place.
Apart from Li Feng, who would have such awareness?
Howard consumes a lot of physical energy, but Li Feng is getting braver as he plays. In Li Feng's eyes, his opponent is always Howard, not Marion, who is watching Howard's move. At this time, Li Feng, who has always paid attention to Howard's actions, appeared in the position he should be most likely to appear.
The big hand covered the sky and the sun, as if it came from another world, suddenly appeared directly above Howard.
Howard wanted to hide, but the basketball had already taken action and the route could not be changed.
Although they are one person apart, Li Feng's jump and arm span completely ignore this distance.
When his fingers were in contact with the basketball, Howard, who was still holding a glimmer of hope, closed his eyes in pain.
Howard has been supporting him now, but Li Feng's blocking shot completely dispersed Howard's aura.
Although Li Feng incited the ball, the basketball did not bounce too far. Howard just needed to stretch out his hand to put the basketball in his arms again.
But Howard didn't do this because he was tired, but his body and heart were tired, so tired that he didn't even have the strength to stretch his hand.
The basketball was eventually snatched by Conley, and the Grizzlies used this to play a fast break. After tricking Kidd with a fake move, Conley's layup allowed the Grizzlies to gain the biggest lead difference today: eight points.
The game ended in one and a half minutes, and the score of 95 to 103 will never be the final result, and the Dallas Mavericks cannot easily win.
Carlisle called a long timeout. After the timeout, the players on the Mavericks were Kidd, Terry, Howard, Marion, Nowitzki, and there was no center.
The Mavericks served in the frontcourt, Nowitzki passed the basketball to Kidd, and then entered the court. Kidd didn't look at it, and threw it away casually. The basketball flew towards Nothing King, and Nowitzki caught the ball and shot it.
Nowitzki's period from receiving the basketball to starting shooting was too short, and it was basically difficult for defensive players to react.
When Randolph found out that he had just reached out his right hand to block Nowitzki, Nowitzki's basketball had left his right hand.
"Swish!"
A hollow into the net simply and neatly.
Randolph was still in the air at this time. Nowitzki's move just now was too fast. Even if he used a camera, he would probably have to slow to clearly capture the process of Nowitzki's move from receiving the basketball and then taking action.
“Beautiful job!”
Howard was the first to cheer, and his cheer was crazy, and even harshly hit Nowitzki's chest.
The game has just 2 seconds passed, and the Dallas Mavericks have changed the score gap from eight points to five points. In more than one minute, five points cannot determine the outcome of the game.
This goal was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the morale of the Grizzlies.
When Mavericks players were still immersed in the joy of scoring goals and most of the Grizzlies players could not accept the status quo, Marc Gasol, who served the ball in the backcourt, made a long pass.
Li Feng roared and grabbed the basketball in his hands before everyone.
As soon as he hit the ground, Li Feng did not make any adjustments and dribbled forward directly until he was about to meet Kidd. Kidd handed the basketball to Conley who caught up with him, and he himself continued to accelerate and rushed forward.
The offense and defense on the court changed positions in an instant, and the Mavericks who were still preparing to participate in the team's offense started running back again.
The Grizzlies have only Li Feng and Conley in the frontcourt. Although the core of the offensive is Guy behind, in this case, Conley's only pass target is the former.
Terry, who was in defense, was facing Conley, who was holding the ball. When facing this defensive player, Conley was not sure enough to pass the opponent. In order not to miss the opportunity, Conley threw the basketball towards Li Feng as soon as possible.
Howard was blocking Li Feng's path. Facing Li Feng, he was about to create an offensive foul. He even felt the referee's whistle sound in his ears, but Howard was disappointed and did not come. The sound he shouldn't have heard came into his ears, which was the basket moaning.
The moment he received the ball, Li Feng turned around in front of Howard with his left foot as the axis, rubbed the opponent's jersey, and completely blocked the roadblock.
Li Feng, who shook Howard, took two steps and dunked directly, sounding the Grizzlies' horn for counterattack.
One goal was not much, but it was enough to reverse the situation on the court. The Grizzlies, who were hit by the Mavericks three-pointer, were still depressed, and the morale that the Mavericks had just risen was suddenly lifted. The morale that the Mavericks had just risen was pressed down by Li Feng again.
In the next minute, the Mavericks' offense became even more crazy. Nowitzki or Jason Terry made a three-pointer, and Li Feng forced a breakthrough and dunk to score. In the end, the Grizzlies led the score until the last second.
beep!
With the roar of the synthetic timer at the FedEx Center, the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the visiting Dallas Mavericks at home. Li Feng performed well in this game, scoring a large double-double of 16 points and 13 rebounds. This is also Li Feng's first double-double in his career!
