Chapter 117: No one can defend

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Stevens adjusted the lineup. The starting center Lopez joined Anderson on the stage. George, who was supposed to rest during this period, also went into battle, except for Jeremy Lin who replaced Bledsoe. Plus, it was pretty much the Nets' starting lineup last season.

Trapped by the physical fitness of the veterans in the team, Carlisle had to ensure the physical fitness of several veterans in the team anyway. As a last resort, Carlisle sent Lamar Odom again, hoping that Lamar Odom and Territory would pass. The best sixth man can help the team stabilize the situation, at least, the point difference should not be opened to double digits.

When the players from both sides came on stage, Carlisle knew that it was "broken and broken". Obviously, Stevens was determined by the lack of thickness of the Mavericks' lineup to make a trick of Tian Ji's horse racing. beated!

Facts have proved how unreliable it is to place hope on a person whose mentality is almost collapsed and his private life is extremely chaotic. Odom, who was in his prime, had excellent talent and was only a sixth man. Lack of concentration was his biggest problem, and Odom, who came to the Mavericks, not only stayed in Los Angeles, but even himself. talent was also taken away. After George made a 3-pointer to widen the lead to 11 points, Carlisle was almost angrily replacing Odom with Marion and made up his mind not to let him play in this game.

Marion, who just came on the court, was a little cold. Facing Anderson's defense at the basket, he missed a small shot. After George grabbed the rebound, he sped up the dribble and launched a counterattack. The layup further widened the point difference to 13 points.

There are 8 minutes left in the game, and the point difference has widened to 13 points. This point difference has reached a critical point for the Mavericks. If the situation continues to deteriorate, the Mavericks can throw a shot and admit defeat!

Although the situation was not very good, Carlisle decided to give it a try. After all, the defending champion has already lost the opening game against the Heat. If they start a two-game losing streak, they won't be able to save face!

Kidd, Nowitzki, and Carter all went into battle. In the first round of the main lineup’s return, Carter cut to the basket under the cover of Nowitzki, and completed a dunk against Anderson’s defense, which was regarded as Leonard’s response to Yi Jianlian’s dunk in the third quarter. , At the same time, it is also encouraging the old arms and legs of the Mavericks, they have to die!

After a round, Stevens immediately replaced all the main players of the Nets on the court and had a final battle with the main players of the Mavericks.

After scoring 12 points in the last game, Anderson made persistent efforts in this game, hitting 4 3-pointers from the outside again and scoring 14 points. When he came off the court, he was also praised by coach Stevens. Although he has been reduced to a substitute this season, Anderson's performance has not declined but has risen, which is a surprise.

Kidd quickly took the ball across the midfield. When he swept his eyes to his teammates, Leonard had appeared beside him like a ghost. With a generous right hand, the goal was the ball in his hand. One of his turns and his steals dodged. This turnaround is really beautiful. Leonard has already scored two dunks after two steals in this game. Destroy the morale of the Mavericks.

Nowitzki pulled the pick-and-roll to the free throw line. At the moment when the ball was in his hand, a return pass quickly flew to Carter on the weak side. Fortunately, George's defense was very timely. Before he shot the ball, Leonardo De's ghostly figure appeared in front of him, and his good defensive awareness made him notice the shooting space Carter ran out of in time, and his fingertips touched the basketball lightly. The trajectory changes slightly.

The two sounds of "bang" and "di" sounded successively. I was just glad that the ball went wide, but the referee's whistle made Leonard like a fog. The referee Carter, everything is clear.

Surprisingly rational, Leonard didn't shout angrily when he stepped forward to explain to the referee, but he was just a little aggrieved.

The result of the penalty has been announced, and there is no way to change it. Carter used a free throw to narrow the difference back to 8 points. After the main player of the Mavericks returned, the suspense of the game seemed to have returned.

Leonard's right-wing three-pointer missed, Lopez was tightly stuck behind by Haywood at the moment, watching Kidd pick off the rebound, and handed a long pass directly to Marion who ran to the frontcourt, Returning to the most familiar fast-break rhythm, Marion walked fast and scored the ball with an awkward layup against George's back-up defense. The point difference was reduced to 6 points. More importantly, the momentum of the game seemed to be Back to the Mavericks again.

The situation is not very good. It seems that Stevens has no idea of ​​calling a timeout. George took the initiative to take over the task of dribbling the ball past half court. Carter appeared in front of him. This time, George was not in a hurry to break through or pass the ball. .

'Clap', 'Clap', the basketball kept changing hands in George's money-saving, the speed was getting faster and faster, as the ball hit the floor every time, Carter did not dare to relax in the slightest, watching George poised for momentum. Fa's body, he knows too well how good the physical condition of his successor in the Nets is.

Carter's body stood on George's right~www.NovelMTL.com~ and forced George, who had poor dribbling with his left hand, to the inside line. West stepped forward to pick and roll, and Carter and Nowitzki, who was filling in, were still locked on the right, forcing George to the left.

This is the picture that Stevens has always been unwilling to see. His original expectation for George is that in this longer offseason, George can take time to improve his dribbling skills, especially his left-handed ball. Technology, however, who would have thought he had been catching fish for half a year.

Bledsoe came to respond, but there was not much time left for the attack. George chose to force his jumper instead of throwing the blame on his teammates.

"Bang!" The ball hit the basket without incident. Fortunately, Haywood failed to hold the basketball under the interference of Lopez, and the referee ruled that the Nets served in the frontcourt.

A somewhat fortunate result, which covered up George's weakness in this round of offense, and re-launched the offense. He also used a dry pull-up jumper after catching the ball to make up for the mistake just now, and the difference returned to 8 points.

Returning to the offensive end, after three and a half quarters of the game were bleak, Nowitzki, who was interested in saving energy on the defensive end, began to show his power. After receiving a pass from Terry, the German faced West's personal defense at the free throw line and worked hard. After squeezing out a little space to shoot, he used a fallback jumper to make New Jersey feel hopeless. The ball hit the back of the basket, and after bouncing up and down twice, he finally entered the basket obediently.

Few people in the history of basketball have this kind of shooting feel, let alone such a big man?

Although he was still ahead by six points, after seeing the ball, Jiang Mingliang's expression was not very good.

Last year, in the Western Conference Finals and Finals, the Mavericks encountered a situation similar to today's many times in the playoffs. Then, Nowitzki helped the team solve all the problems on the offensive end, and it was useless for anyone to defend!
