Chapter 505: What can I do to save you, my old boy... Nursing Home Mavericks!
After resting for 15 minutes, the game came back for the second half, with the main players of both sides playing music and then fighting again.
Falling behind by 15 points is not the end.
The miracle year of winning the championship in 2011 gave the Mavericks the invincible Gu Jin, coupled with Nowitzki's offensive firepower in the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks still did not panic at this time.
Their goal is simple. They only need to catch up to within 10 points in the last 5 minutes of Nowitzki's fourth quarter to see the victory.
In other words, they still have 20 minutes left, but they are chasing 5 points away. Nowitzki can do the rest.
What if Nowitzki can't do it?
Then don’t do anything!
The third quarter started with the Mavericks attacking the ball.
The questions are compulsory, and the tactics are still the same as usual.
Kidd turned over Delonte West's card. The latter broke through with the ball, pulled deep, went in, jumped out again, and passed the ball back to Kidd.
"Nowitzki moved from the left to the right. Kidd did a pick-and-roll screen and passed the ball to Nowitzki... No, it was staged. Kidd suddenly turned around and dribbled the ball in. Billups
Passive, fight and retreat.
While walking, Kidd flicked his hands and sent the basketball into the sky..."
Bang-dang——!
Haywood made an alley-oop, his whole body hanging on the basket, and he steadily ate the cake made by Kidd, and scored two points.
56 to 43!
The point difference became 13 points.
There are still 3 points left. The superstar Nowitzki in the fourth quarter.
Isn’t this the suspense of the game?
Belief is something that is unreasonable.
The offense and defense transitioned, and the Thunder attacked and led by 13 points. It was time to waste away.
"Durant dribbled the ball past Nowitzki, and when he got to the end, he shot... no, it was actually a pass?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Durant suddenly got the idea and rushed to the basket. Instead of going up to the basket himself, he threw the ball out and passed it to Su Bei.
After catching the ball and lifting it up, Su Bei paused for a moment, obviously not expecting Durant to pass the ball, but still raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..."
If Durant dares to pass, Su Bei will dare to shoot.
Marion also didn't expect that Durant would pass the ball. After all, how did Durant become the scoring champion? Who doesn't have points in mind? Or did he rely on a large number of shots?
Now Durant is playing reasonable ball, AR, are you mistaken?
This kind of ungrateful move made Marion confused. He could only listen to the gunshot: I bet there are no bullets in your three-point pistol!
Bang-dang——!
You guessed it right, Su Bei's pistol really had no bullets, and the basketball slipped out of the basket, which was a hundred million points of luck.
"still none!
Su Bei's stable three-point skills have still not been found.
This was the Mavericks’ opportunity to counterattack. Haywood took the basketball and immediately distributed the ball to Kidd to counterattack..."
The Mavericks' lineup is aging again. When it's time to run and bomb, they really dare to sprint.
The grasp of rhythm is truly powerful.
Kidd's abilities are most vividly demonstrated here.
There was a time when Kidd could be the core of a Suns team that played run-and-gun and pass. Whenever necessary, he could still run and gun, either fast or slow.
"Coming to the frontcourt, Billups fought and retreated, but Kidd continued to advance. However, he shot himself..."
Logically speaking, Kidd's strongest point is in organizing and passing the ball. Anyone who defends Kidd would not regard his shooting offense as alive. Who would have thought that Kidd would choose to do it himself.
Kidd's two unexpected offensive choices made Billups very confused, and his defensive awareness was clearly unable to keep up.
In fact, Hong Kong is not without reasons.
The question is, instead of letting his teammates do the work, why can't it be him?
Kobe did it too!
When your teammates' offense is unreliable, don't you have to do it yourself?
So the principle of playing Susu is completely confused because of Kidd's attribute of "the base does not attack".
Is it still Wangfa?
Are there any laws?
Swish——!
"Beautiful counterattack score, Kidd made a one-stop comeback and succeeded.
Kidd had a shot and an assist, helping the Mavericks score 4 points in a row, a very impressive performance..."
56 to 45!
The score difference became 1 point, and Nowitzki was amazing in the fourth quarter.
Aren’t both parties back on the same starting line?
Basketball, whether it should be said or not, can still be calculated.
Through calculation, you can make the ball more clear and confident the more you play.
On the other hand, the Thunder don't understand.
He actually didn't choose to waste time, but instead speeded up the fight.
"Put that damn basketball in Durant's hands again.
In the first half of the game, Durant was very strong, outputting like death.
In the second half of the game, we should be able to play for another 5 minutes..."
Durant took 10 minutes, played 10, took the ball to pose as an offensive three-threat, then dribbled the ball through, changed direction, and shot.
With Durant's talent, Nowitzki can only take a beating.
Nowitzki defended very hard, and Marion also pounced, but missed. Talent can really do whatever you want. You have no choice but to listen to the gunshot.
Bang-dang——!
"Durant did it too.
His shots are also perfect!
The Thunder's offensive firepower failed when it broke through, and it was the Mavericks' opportunity again..."
“Still run and gun!
What the hell, it was Kidd taking action again, rushing to the frontcourt, dribbling the ball through, and making an emergency two-point jump shot..."
Billups still can't keep up.
Isn't this the real Kidd, who is so brave in attack and takes over all the scoring tasks?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
How can you take over the team's offense if you don't attack at all?
Will definitely choose to pass the ball!
However, Kidd took action and ejaculated himself...
Swish——!
Still on target!
"It was Kidd's counterattack score again.
I originally thought that Kidd was already very brave before, but I didn't expect that there is an even braver Kidd. Who is being unreasonable?
Billups was defeated, your uncle is still your uncle!
Once upon a time, Kidd's playing style was very restrained against Billups. Who would have thought that Kidd, who is about to retire, could still play Billups like a younger brother..."
A self with strengthened cards is hit unexpectedly continuously, what do you use to counter it?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! You can’t stand it.
56 to 47!
The point difference became minus 1 point. Nowitzki was amazing in the fourth quarter!
In other words, the Mavericks have completed the set task. They don't need 20 minutes to chase a 5-point ball. In just over 2 minutes, the Mavericks have completed it.
In the remaining time, you can continue to pursue, so that your opponents will know that this Mavericks team does not only rely on Nowitzki's superb performance, but if others get mad, they can also give the young Thunder a hard time.
Outside the court, Scott Brooks stood on the sidelines to cheer up the players. It was obvious that he couldn't sit still.
The Mavericks are about to gain momentum. If I don't beat them to death, I'll feel uneasy!
You know, in the Thunder's two home games, their team defeated their opponents in the last few minutes or even into overtime.
Now, with great difficulty, he took advantage of the opponent's state in the first half and widened the point difference to 15 points.
As a result, in the first few minutes of the second half, the Mavericks broke out from Kidd and seized the opportunity to regain 6 points they lost.
got windy!
He himself wants to encourage his disciples so that he can suppress the Mavericks' lackluster attitude.
Thunder attack!
Just now Su Bei didn't work, and Durant didn't work either.
Westbrook stopped pretending and chose to do it himself.
"Driving the ball to the frontcourt, instead of passing the ball to Durant, he chose to be a reckless person and dribble past Delonte West.
In the matchup between the two, the talent gap is not a billion points. West can only fight and retreat, waiting for Kidd's defense to come to the rescue...
Westbrook went in, he pulled up and shot, and he raised his hand and made a zombie pull-up jumper..."
West was one to fight, and Kidd was also involved, so the two of them took care of it together.
Use zone defense to force him to shoot away from the basket?
Westbrook doesn't like him, so he chooses hard steel to teach them that he is also a shooter!
Swish——!
"Yes!
Westbrook made a strong attack.
Durant was there in the first half, but it was Westbrook's turn to explode in the second half.
The Wang Zha combination, one blow for half the game, this is very reasonable!
"
58 to 47!
The score difference became 11 points.
The Mavericks still don't panic.
After all, there is still a lot of time left for them, and if they don’t know how to defend, neither can the Thunder!
Bang-dang——!
Nowitzki took advantage of Kidd's screen to challenge Billups in a misplaced position, but missed.
The opportunity came up and he took a jump shot, but it missed.
"The Mavericks' offensive firepower still hasn't opened up the situation.
The reason why we were able to chase points was only because Kidd found his shooting touch, while others were still struggling.
The rebound was taken by Durant, and he immediately dribbled the ball to counterattack. After being blocked, he immediately distributed the ball to Su Bei, and then dribbled the ball forward.
He went to the frontcourt and used a shot to pray to Buddha. The fake shot turned out to be sudden. Su Bei passed Marion and dribbled the ball into the paint area.
Kidd firmly defended the basket and retreated while fighting. When Su Bei jumped up, Kidd also jumped up to block the shot.
What the hell?
Su Bei threw the ball behind him in the air, and Westbrook followed up, picked up the ball in the air, and poured the basketball into the basket with both hands like a relay..."
Bang-dang——!
Kidd became the backdrop and seemed to be dunked by Westbrook.
Two against one, if you don't talk about martial ethics, what can you do to defeat it?
60 to 47!
The point difference becomes 13 points!
At this time, it was the Mavericks' turn to be anxious.
It was impossible for Kidd to catch the ball off guard. With Billups watching closely, he could only choose to pass the ball.
Moreover, the Mavericks also realized that it would be difficult to recover from a deficit of more than ten points by just shooting two points.
After all, the Mavericks' defense was simply unable to stop the Thunder's unrivaled talent.
There is no choice but to play a three-point tactic.
"Marion moved. He cut from the left to the right. With Haywood's cover, he got rid of Su Bei and came to the 45-degree three-point line on the right. He received Kidd's pass and raised his hand.
A three-point jump shot..."
Su Bei pursued closely, but it was still too late.
Since the Thunder team is not organized and basically uses man-to-man or simple zone defense tactics, it is simply impossible to defend the opponent without the ball when there is a cover. We can only bet that Marion's three-point pistol is out of bullets.
Bang-dang——!
"still none!
The Mavericks were able to chase points because Kidd's touch exploded and other people had opportunities, but if they didn't use them, it was useless..."
…
Bang-dang——!
Kidd also tried a three-point shot, but died in the attempt.
…
In the second half of the game, the Mavericks were still stuck in the quagmire of a blacksmith show, unable to move.
It's obviously not enough for just one Kidd to struggle out.
Nowitzki made 0 of 3, Marion made 0 of 3, Carter made 0 of 2, Terry made 1 of 2...
It was only Kidd, a performance of 3 of 6, and no three-point shot.
The Mavericks, whose offense relies on jump shots as their core, once again failed in their own shooting.
The game fell one-sided to the Thunder.
Although Su Bei made 1 of 3 three-pointers and Durant's death mode disappeared, only 1 of 4, however, Westbrook came out of the sewer.
He made 5 of 7 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 11 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist in a single quarter, helping the Thunder beat the Mavericks by a score of 25 to 16 in the third quarter, widening the point difference.
Open 9 minutes.
At the end of the first three quarters, the score difference was 15 9 = 24 points, leaving only 12 minutes for the Mavericks. The suspense of the game had basically been eliminated.
The fourth quarter was just a formality.
Buzz——!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
The score was 103 to 81. The Thunder turned away and gained another 22 points advantage, beating the Mavericks and expanding the score to 3 to 0!
Although Durant's performance in the second half was average, he waved his scythe like a god of death in the first half, making 11 of 16 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, and 5 of 7 free throws. He scored 31 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds, surpassing the scoring champion.
Tough and vivid in performance.
Westbrook made 8 of 19 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 2 of 4 free throws. He only had one good quarter, but it was enough. He scored 20 points, 4 assists, and 4 rebounds, which was pretty good.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Su Bei's performance was mediocre, with 5 of 13 shots, 3 of 10 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 15 points, 3 assists and 4 rebounds, with Du Shao and Wei Wei
Less, a combined score of 66 points.
The three giants combined for 66 points, scoring an average of 23 points, and their fighting power was unstoppable.
The Mavericks did not lose unfairly!
They missed jump shots, couldn't control the court, were physically weak, had a bad lineup, were twitchy and ineffective, and were nothing. They were completely defeated.
Nowitzki made 6 of 16 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, and 5 of 8 free throws. He scored 17 points, 9 rebounds, and 2 assists, but he was the best scorer in the Mavericks. With this kind of firepower, he must be driving a Mazda car.
, how can a car drive in such a traffic jam?
Kidd made 5 of 12 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 14 points, 5 assists, and 5 rebounds. Rounding it all off, it was a near-triple-double performance, which was very reliable.
It's just a pity that my teammates didn't do their best and were held back.
Marion was 1 of 8, Terry was 3 of 10, Carter was 3 of 8, Yi Jianlian was 1 of 3, Azubuike was 1 of 3...
All the bullets that can be used to shoot have been used up. What can I use to save you, my old boy... No, the Mavericks of the Nursing Home?
Trailing 0 to 3, it still needs a black seven. If the Mavericks want to reverse, they need a miracle!
May 5, American Airlines Center.
The G4 game started, and as the defending champion Mavericks, they stepped on the edge of the cliff. It was obvious that they would lose, and they could accept this ending.
But a 4-0 sweep would be a bit excessive.
Even for the sake of face, the Mavericks fought hard.
In the first half, the two sides played a draw, and no one could do anything to their opponent.
In the third quarter of the game, the Mavericks finally, finally broke out.
Terry was going crazy, and so was Marion. With the explosion of the two crazy combinations, and the normal performance of Kidd and Nowitzki, the Mavericks' offense was full of firepower, blasting the Thunder with a 34-21 shock wave.
, widening the point difference to 13 points.
There is not much time left for the Thunder, with only 12 minutes left in the fourth quarter.
To be honest, even if the Thunder loses, it is still a good thing!
After all, if you can play at one more home court, you can make money, and losing will not be a shame.
However, unexpectedly, the Mavericks' physical fitness exploded again, and their shots began to hit frequently, leading to a situation where the sound of hitting could be heard.
Unfortunately, Durant entered death mode, and Harden also entered madness mode.
Although Su Bei and Westbrook played a walk-on performance, in the fourth quarter, Durant made 3 of 4 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 10 points and 6 rebounds in a single quarter, and Harden 9
With 6-for-3 shooting, 3-for-3 free throws, and 15 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, the two led the Thunder to a 35-16 shock wave, sweeping the Mavericks out of the game like autumn leaves.
Once upon a time, Nowitzki, who could play BG in the fourth quarter, only made 1 of 8 shots and 7 of 7 free throws, scoring 9 points, occupying half of the Mavericks' scoring in the fourth quarter, but he still couldn't overcome it.
The score was 106 to 100. The Thunder completed a beautiful comeback with a soul-stirring game that did not give their opponents any chance to survive. In the next game, they eliminated the Mavericks with a big score of 4 to 0 and advanced to the next round. Just wait and see.
The next opponent shows the appearance of a championship!
