basketball legend manager

Rockets bench.

Mark Jackson is encouraging the players.

Curry on the side listened quietly.

All he wants now is to know when he can play again.

The game ended with about six minutes left, leaving little time for Curry.

"Stephen?"

Mark Jackson's voice pulled him out of his thoughts.

"You have to be ready. In three minutes, you have to go on the field. Do you understand?"

"Yes! Don't worry, coach!"

Curry responded quickly.

When he looked up, he realized that his teammates were all looking at him.

"This is just a minor setback."

"Since the referee dares to target you, you have to repay him with 'basketball'."

Maddie said with a smile.

"That's right~"

"They will definitely not give up today. You will have to play on the field later."

Yao Ming also agreed.

The two bosses of the team said this, and Curry was naturally encouraged and had a smile on his face again.

"Okay, I've said all the tactics that need to be said."

"The next few minutes are very important. If you survive it, the calf's anger will dissipate."

"In a word, keep the pace down, increase the success rate, and don't give them a chance to counterattack."

Mark Jackson instructed.

Look at the Mavericks again.

There was a small climax in the last quarter, and everyone in the Mavericks was very excited.

In particular, the two players with the most outstanding performances, Marion and Butler, received unanimous praise from their teammates.

However, these two people just tried their best.

Although only five minutes had passed, both of them were sweating profusely, obviously spending a lot of money.

Carlisle struck while the iron was hot and said with a smile:

"Now the point difference is only ten points, and most of the quarter is enough for us to complete the comeback."

"Dirk, it's time for you to take over the game!"

Nowitzki nodded calmly.

He has had many game-turning games this season.

Both himself and other teammates have absolute confidence in the driver.

"Winning or losing depends on the next half. Let's continue the momentum we had just now!"

Carlisle mobilized.

The Mavericks generals nodded.

Their eyes were filled with fire, obviously seeing the hope of victory!

............

The timeout ends and the game continues.

"Welcome back!"

"It can be seen that after the timeout, both sides fielded the strongest lineups possible."

"The Mavericks seem to be carrying out their offense to the end. They have retained the frontline partnership of Butler and Marion, who just performed well, and Nowitzki has assumed the center position."

"On the back line, it's still Kidd and Terry. This duo is one for offense, one for defense and one for offense."

"On the Rockets side, except for Curry who is still off the court due to foul issues, the rest of the main players are all on the field."

"Although Lowry performed poorly before, Mark Jackson still chose to believe in him and still let him stay on the court."

Yu Jia introduced.

"here we go!"

Yang Yi said excitedly.

Rocket serve.

Lowry carried the ball through half court and handed the ball to McGrady.

Kidd, who was responsible for defending T-Mac, immediately got on top of him and didn't give the former a chance to easily handle the ball.

McGrady remained calm in the face of the pressing press.

He holds the ball with one hand and puts it behind his back.

McGrady's outstanding wingspan made Kidd have no desire to even try to score the ball.

But the old Kidd had rich experience and firmly blocked T-mac with his lower limbs, and kept pushing forward with his chest.

McGrady was originally observing the situation on the court, but after being hit by Kidd, his pivot foot accidentally moved a small step.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded and the referee gave a walking violation.

This made Maddie laugh out loud.

"If he didn't hit me, would I be able to move that step?"

t-mac walked up to the referee and asked.

The linesman ignored him at all and walked straight to the teeing area and handed the ball to the Mavericks player.

McGrady shook his head speechlessly and began to retreat.

Offense and defense transition.

Nowitzki took a stance near the free throw line and got in position to get the ball.

Although Da Ben is very powerful, he is not as tall as the driver after all.

After the latter got stuck in position, he easily completed the ball.

But the moment after receiving the ball, Nowitzki felt the pressure from behind.

The sense of oppression given by Ben was even higher than in the third quarter!

McGrady on the side glanced at the free throw line with his peripheral vision.

Good guy, Nowitzki was also taken a step back by Kidd.

Both his movements and his reaction when he was hit were exactly the same as McGrady just now.

t-mac immediately signaled to the linesman: "Did you see that?!"

The linesman smiled and ignored him.

And Nowitzki quickly adapted to such defensive intensity.

I saw him holding the ball with both hands, raising the ball behind his head, and then took a sharp step forward with his right foot to the left.

Daben had no choice but to retreat.

If it is hard to top this time, it will definitely infringe on the opponent's cylinder.

Seeing Ben Wallace retreating, Nowitzki immediately retracted his right foot and pulled out his hand...

"Shua~"

The basketball hits the net!

87:95.

The point difference between the two teams is officially back to single digits!

After scoring, Nowitzki was very excited.

He punched the air hard, venting the emotions he had accumulated since the third quarter!

After the German tank came off the field, they kept thinking about how to deal with Big Ben's aggressive defense.

The answer he finally got was - shoot!

Use your height advantage to shoot!

This answer seems too simple, but if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

If you want to defeat your opponent on the basketball court, you should use your strengths to exploit your opponent's weaknesses.

Ben Wallace's defense is impeccable, and his only flaw is his lack of height.

As long as the boss can't fully take off, Nowitzki can take action calmly!

In this attack, he used his footsteps to force Ben Wallace to retreat, successfully preventing the latter from jumping to block the shot in time.

............

After changing sides, McGrady dribbled the ball through half court.

Facing Butler's defense, T-Mac dribbled the ball from his crotch to his left hand, and then his center of gravity suddenly sank, making a breakthrough.

But the next moment, he suddenly pulled it out without warning...

In Butler's panic expression, McGrady kicked with a scissor kick to complete the shot.

"Shua~"

The arc of the ball was very flat, but its trajectory was very positive and it fell straight into the net.

answer.ball!

At 87:98, the score difference reached double digits again.

Butler covered his head in annoyance, but Nowitzki immediately stretched out his hands and made a downward movement, indicating that "it's not a big problem."

In the next round, the German tank tried a new attack method.

The previous rest allowed him to recover his physical fitness well.

This time, Nowitzki actually started a high-intensity off-ball movement like a shooting guard.

Then, with the help of Kidd's pick-and-roll, he successfully got rid of Ben Wallace's defense.

After receiving the ball from the outside, Driver faced Lowry and shot a three-pointer...

bingo!

90:98!

"Oh my gosh, the game is heating up now."

"The leading stars of both teams began to take over the game, responding to the ball one after another!"

Yang Yi explained in a timely manner.

Rockets offense.

McGrady holds the ball at the top of the arc, waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack.

Dayao comes forward and sets up a cover for him.

t-mac feinted in&out with his right hand, then made a small change of direction, and then bypassed Yao Ming's pick-and-roll.

Butler was shaken first, and then blocked by Yao, and immediately lost his defensive position.

However, just as McGrady was about to speed up and break through Nowitzki, the referee's whistle sounded again!

Yao Ming fouled by moving the screen!

As soon as the penalty was issued, before Yao Mai could react, Mark Jackson on the sidelines got angry first!

He roared and rushed to the technical table and slammed the table.

"Isn't that too much? Is there anyone who brags about a game like this?!"

Mark Jackson yelled at one of the referees.

The staff at the technical desk on the side were obviously shocked and just stood there in a daze.

The referee's eyes were a little dodgey, not daring to look into Mark Jackson's eyes, but his words were still tough:

"Yao Ming's problem with moving screens has been there since he entered the league."

"You are the coach of the Rockets, don't you know?"

When Mark Jackson heard this, he laughed angrily.

"Let's not talk about the mobile screens that Yao was blown away in the past. Are there any problems?"

"Even if it's true like you said, he used to run illegal pick-and-rolls."

"But what a person was like before, will he still be like that now?"

"What's wrong with Yao's pick-and-roll just now?! You can call up the replay and check it frame by frame!"

In the 2010-11 season, the NBA has not fully introduced video review technology.

During this period, the referee cannot change the penalty even if he watches the replay.

Therefore, Mark Jackson's request is not actually to change the sentence.

All he wants is to seek justice for Yao Ming!

The referee became increasingly guilty and did not even dare to reply.

At this time, the referee from a distance rushed over and made a "t" gesture directly to Mark Jackson.

The second technical foul of this game still fell on the Rockets.

Mark Jackson refused to give up and squirted at the referee again.

Knowing that the Rockets' assistant coach felt this, he hugged him around the waist, and Mark Jackson's anger subsided slightly.

In the end, the Rockets coach received his second technical foul and was ejected for the first time in his coaching career.

Mark Jackson looked livid and turned towards the tunnel.

When he passed by the Rockets bench, Curry suddenly said: "The Rockets will definitely win this game, I promise."

Mark Jackson turned around and forced out a smile: "Waiting for your good news."

After that, he left the stadium amidst the boos of the fans.

............

At this time, the atmosphere on the court was a little subtle.

Players are different from fans, they know very well whether there is any problem with the referee's decision.

For example, Caron Butler knew very well that Yao Ming did not move when he squeezed through the screen just now.

Nowitzki has been away for a long time and understands the situation equally well.

Therefore, when Mark Jackson rushed to the technical table, the German tank also sighed.

This was not the first time he had experienced this kind of scene.

As early as 2006, he experienced it once in the finals.

However, the calf was the victim that time.

Nowitzki was very angry at the time, but there was nothing he could do.

Now, he felt something was wrong, but it seemed he couldn't change anything.

[Do you look down on us so much...]

[Without your help, wouldn’t we be able to defeat the Rockets?]

Nowitzki became increasingly annoyed the more he thought about it.

Finally, he raised his hand and called his teammates to him: "I don't want to throw a technical free throw, what do you think?"

The Maverick generals looked at each other and immediately understood what the driver meant.

"Just decide, I will support you unconditionally."

Terry was the first to express his stance.

"Anyway, it's just one regular season game. Besides, even without these two free throws, our morale is high and we have every chance of making a comeback."

Kidd also expressed his attitude.

The team bosses have all said this, and Butler and Marion naturally have no objections.

Nowitzki nodded slightly and stood on the free throw line.

The fans at the American Airlines Center had just watched the replay on the big screen, and now they understood the truth of the matter.

"fxxk, the referee is really disappointing!"

"If we whistle like this, even if we win, what will the fans of other teams think of us?"

"It's not like we don't have the ability to win, so why are we bragging like this?"

"I thought it was weird when there were several whistles before. I thought it was the home whistle. Now it's the last moment, and the players should be allowed to decide the game on their own!"

...

There was a lot of discussion in the stands.

Nowitzki also looked serious on the free throw line.

After receiving the referee's pass, he took the shot directly without even dribbling the ball.

"Duang!"

The ball hit the backboard hard and bounced far away.
