Build a Dream Dynasty

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Stevens made adjustments to the lineup. The starting center Lopez joined Anderson on the field. George, who was supposed to rest during this time period, also played. Except for Jeremy Lin who replaced Bledsoe Plus, this was pretty much the starting lineup for the Nets last season.

Constrained by the physical fitness of the team's veterans, Carlisle had to ensure the physical fitness of several veterans in the team anyway. As a last resort, Carlisle re-appointed Odom, hoping that Odom and Telly would pass The best sixth man can help the team stabilize the situation, at least, the point difference will not be stretched to double digits.

When the players from both sides came on the field, Carlisle knew in his heart that "it's bad, it's bad". Obviously, Stevens took advantage of the lack of thickness of the Mavericks lineup and used Tian Ji's horse racing trick. beated!

Facts have proved how unreliable it is to place hope on a person whose mentality has almost collapsed and whose private life is extremely chaotic. At his peak, Odom had excellent talent, and he only ended up as a sixth man. His lack of concentration was his biggest problem. Odom, who came to the Mavericks, not only stayed in Los Angeles, but even himself talent was also taken away. After George made a three-pointer and widened the point difference to 11 points, Carlisle almost angrily replaced Odom with Marion, and made up his mind not to let him play in this game.

Marion, who had just played, was a little cold. Facing Anderson's defense under the basket, he missed a small throw. After George grabbed the rebound, he accelerated his dribble and launched a counterattack. After completing a 2-to-1 cooperation with Jeremy Lin, he relaxed A layup scored, further widening 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 concede the loss!

Although the situation is not good, Carlisle decided to give it a go. After all, the defending champion has already lost the opening game against the Heat. If they start with a two-game losing streak, it will be embarrassing!

Kidd, Nowitzki, and Carter went into battle one after another. In the first round of offense when the main lineup returned, 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 Mavericks' old arms and old legs, they have to work hard!

After one round, Stevens immediately replaced all the main players of the Nets on the field, and the final decisive battle with the main players of the Mavericks.

After scoring 12 points in the last game, Anderson made persistent efforts in this game. He scored 4 3-pointers from the outside again and scored 14 points. When he was off the field, he was also praised by coach Stevens. Although reduced to a substitute this season, Anderson's performance has risen instead of falling, which is a surprise.

Kidd quickly took the ball across the midfield. When he glanced at his teammates, Leonard had already appeared beside him like a ghost. His generous right hand was aiming at the ball in his hand. He was slightly surprised and quickly A turn around, dodging his steal, this turn around is really beautiful, Leonard has completed two dunks after two steals in this game, if he does it again at this terrible stall, it can really Destroy the morale of the Mavericks.

Nowitzki pulled the free throw line for a pick-and-roll. The moment he got the ball, he made a pass back and the ball quickly flew into the hands of Carter on the weak side. Fortunately, George's supplementary defense was very timely. Before he released the ball, Leonard De's ghostly figure appeared in front of his eyes. His good defensive awareness allowed him to notice the shooting space that Carter ran out of in time. His fingertips touched the basketball lightly. Although he was unable to block the shot, his strength was enough to make the ball fly. The trajectory changes slightly.

Two sounds of "bang" and "beep" sounded one after another. I was lucky just now that the ball went wide, but the referee's whistle made Leonard feel like a fog. Seeing that he was not far away from him, he sat on the ground and looked at the ball. Referee Carter, everything is clear.

Unexpectedly rational, Leonard didn't shout angrily when he stepped forward to explain to the referee, but his expression was unavoidably aggrieved.

The result of the penalty has been issued and there is no way to change it. Carter used free throws to narrow the point difference back to 8 points. After the return of the main players of the Mavericks, the suspense of the game seems to be back.

Leonard's right-wing three-pointer missed, and Lopez was stuck tightly behind Haywood at the moment. He watched Kidd take off the rebound and directly passed a long pass to Marion who ran up the field. Returning to the most familiar fast-break rhythm, Marion strode like flying, and scored the ball with an awkward layup posture against George's supplementary defense. The point difference was narrowed to 6 points. More importantly, the momentum of the game seemed to be Back to the Mavericks again.

The situation was not good. It seemed that Stevens did not have the idea of ​​calling a timeout. George took the initiative to take over the task of dribbling the ball across the half court. Carter appeared in front of him. This time, George did not rush to break through or pass the ball .

'Crack' 'crack', the basketball kept changing hands in George's saving money, and the speed was getting faster and faster. As the ball hit the floor every time, Carter didn't dare to relax in the slightest, watching George gain momentum He is too aware of how good his successor in the Nets is in physical condition.

Carter's body stood on the right side of George, forcing George, who had a poor dribble with his left hand, to the inside. West stepped forward to pick and roll, and Carter and Nowitzki, who was filling in, still locked the right, forcing George to go left.

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

Bledsoe came to respond, but there was not much time left in the attack. After all, George chose to force a jumper by himself instead of throwing the blame to his teammates.

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

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

Going back to the offensive end, Nowitzki, who had been bleak for three and a half quarters, began to show off his strength on the defensive end. After receiving a pass from Terry, the German faced West's close defense at the free throw line and tried hard. Squeezed out a little room for shooting, and then used a fadeaway jumper to make the New Jersey people feel desperate. The ball hit the back eaves of the basket, and after bouncing up and down twice, it finally entered the basket obediently.

This kind of shooting touch is rare in the history of basketball, let alone such a big man?

Although he still leads by six points, Jiang Mingliang's face is not very good after seeing the ball.

In the Western Conference Finals and the Finals last year, the Mavericks encountered a situation similar to today's in the playoffs many times. Then, Nowitzki helped the team solve all the problems on the offensive end, and no one's defense was useless!
