One Guard

"The Trail Blazers were considered the team most likely to upset in the first round of the playoffs, but three days ago, they lost to the Mavericks. In the view of Coach McMillan, losing that game was completely It’s luck and the referee’s fault. So today, will luck and the referee be on Coach McMillan’s side?” Before the game started, Kenny Smith had to increase his volume when the fans shouted violently.

"In fact, the performance of the Mavericks in the last game was indeed not outstanding. Except for Dirk and Yi, everyone else seemed to be sleepwalking. Jason Kidd made 2 of 6 shots, Marion made 1 of 7 shots, and Terry made 7 shots. 2 shots. Of course, Peja Stojakovic, who joined the Mavericks in the middle of the season, only made 2 of 7 shots. If one of these guys is playing a little bit more normally, the Mavericks will not have such a hard time winning. Today, the performance of this group of role players is precisely the key to the Mavericks' victory." The statistics Barkley listed made people unable to believe that the Mavericks actually won the last game. No wonder McMillan would say that he was unlucky and lost even when his team played better. Few head coaches could face it calmly.

"Anyway, we're going to walk away with a win in Dallas! I don't care what the outside world thinks, but we're not aiming for more than the first round! Take 'em for me, tell the Mavericks guys luck can only be used Once!" McMillan mobilized the emotions of his players before the game. This guy knew that if he returned to Portland with a 2-0 score, the whole series would become very tricky.

The Dallas Mavericks could be blacked out by the Warriors with a record of 60 wins. Why can't his Blazers make a big fuss in Dallas?

After the game started, the two sides still played inextricably. With the experience of playing against each other for the first time, the two teams are also more familiar with each other.

Aldridge and Gerald Wallace had a very good combination of shots and bursts today. Good shot selection naturally kept the Blazers' offensive efficiency at a high level.

Yiyang and Nowitzki were struggling under the tighter defense of the Trail Blazers. From the second minute of the game, the Mavericks were always behind.

Three minutes, five minutes... The Blazers swarmed around the Mavericks' basket. The Trail Blazers players also don't want to lose today. Unlike the Mavericks, they have been cornered. If you can't win today, then the entire series may not be won.

In this way, the game went on for 5 minutes, and Carlisle called to stop the game with a 3-point disadvantage.

The Mavericks fans kept shouting for the home team, as if the louder they shouted, the more energy the Mavericks players had.

"The Trail Blazers played very strongly today. So far, the Trail Blazers have maintained the lead. Aldridge is still feeling hot. It seems that today he and Dirk are going to fight to the end." Taking advantage of this timeout,

Barkley and Kenny Smith naturally began to analyze the situation on the field for the fans.

"Dirk's performance today is much more stable than the previous game. The most important thing is that he can always create damage at the basket. But the Mavericks have not had a chance to get a three-point shot so far. The whole team has, The number of three-point shots is still 0. Dirk is more inclined to play inside today, and neither Marion nor Stevenson has the opportunity to shoot three-pointers. As for him, his desire to shoot three-pointers is not very high today. If the Mavericks If you can score one or two three-pointers, maybe the situation will not be what it is now. The Trail Blazers' three-point defense against the Mavericks is almost perfect. If Coach Carlisle wants to take the lead, he must solve the problem of three-pointers." Ken Ni Smith's serious analysis made the fans instantly understand why the Mavericks were unable to take the lead. The commentary is more relaxed and funny, but these commentators are not unprofessional.

As a commentator with a very ordinary professionalism in the commentary world, Kenny Smith can see the problem, and of course Carlisle, the coach, can also see it.

In the last game, Carlisle's decisive substitution gave the academic coach a taste of the sweetness. So today, Carlisle did not hesitate. He didn't move too many people, just walked up to Peja.

"Come on man, it's time to fight!" Carlisle decided to let Peja, who performed well in training, play early!

Peja froze for a moment, he didn't expect Carlisle to solve the problem by himself. But soon, the veteran regained his composure, took off his disposable training clothes, and surrounded Carlisle, who was arranging tactics.

"Three-pointers, we need three-pointers now. Also, watch Peja's running position, and the rest, stretch space for Peja. As for the inside, set Peja's off-ball pick and roll like in practice! Listen, when After the Trail Blazers put their focus on the defensive three-point line, also, use your breakthrough to tear them apart!" After Carlisle finished speaking, he rubbed the tactical board with a marker pen.

At the same time, an electronic beep sounds and the pause time ends. Seeing that Carlisle put on Peja without changing anyone, many commentators were a little puzzled by this.

"Peja Stojakovic? If it was three years ago, there would be no problem with Carlisle coach's substitution. But now, is anyone still eager for Peja, a veteran who can take on the heavy responsibility? Maybe this is just a bait , Peja is probably only used to help Yi open up space." Barkley's words expressed the aspirations of many people. It's just that others dare not say it, but Barkley's big mouth can't control that much.

When it comes to the golden generation in 1996, the world is always more accustomed to the names of Kobe, Nash, Ray Allen, Iverson, Camby, Marbury and others. In comparison, Ben Wallace, Dampier and him, Peja, will be a little bit slower.

Probably because...he is a European, with the vague attribute of "when they were selected and when they really came from Europe, we don't know yet"?

There are many legendary figures in the Balkans. Compared with legends such as Podiroga, Kukoc, and Petrovic, Peja is not considered prominent. But when it comes to solid NBA achievements, he does not have the championship that Milicic won in 2004 when he was a human cigar, nor does he have the three rings of Kukoc.

Most of his memories focus on the legendary "that Kings team" before 2006. But in fact, it was Weber and Adelman who drew the world lens at that time. Perhaps, this is his fate. In the Balkans, Divac is an even more prominent national hero. In kings, Weber is the more flamboyant and suave king. This guy, always seems to be ignored, just like that...

After playing, Peja did not write too many emotions on his face. All he knew was that he came on stage with a mission.

For the first attack after coming back from a timeout, Peja ran forward unhurriedly, because Yiyang didn't push the speed this time, which meant that the Mavericks would play a solid positional battle.

Seeing Yiyang in position, Peja began to evaluate the situation on the field. He knew that the Chinese would send the ball to him precisely like his former partner Chris Paul did. What he needs to consider is not whether his partner can pass the ball, but whether his position is suitable.

So, after "playing dead" for a few seconds, Peja suddenly started running. Gerald Wallace, who was defending Peja, originally planned to help defend Yiyang, so he also focused his defense on Yiyang. But unexpectedly this old guy's sudden activation caught "Elvis Presley" by surprise.

"Elvis" Wallace just moved his footsteps to keep up. Peja, who seemed to be slipping the bottom line and ran to the other side of the field, suddenly turned around and ran back!

Wallace forcibly changed his center of gravity and tried to catch up, but Tyson Chandler suddenly stepped out, a well-timed off-ball pick-and-roll!

At the same time, Yiyang breaks through and attracts the Blazers' defensive attention. No one, except Gerald Wallace, cared about the vacated Peja.

Yiyang made a light pass during the breakthrough process, and the basketball flew across the court and flew beyond the three-point line. Peja caught the basketball firmly. At this moment, everyone's expressions were frozen, but this veteran only had the basket in his eyes.

"I was abused, I was abused speechless. Forgive me for the bad words, his shots are fucking accurate. Just started the game, and he hit 40 three-pointers in a row. How can I play this?"

This is when Peja was still playing for the Hornets at the beginning of this season. When his teammate Belinelli faced reporters, he described the scene when he and Peja competed for three-pointers. And the Peja witnessed by Belinelli is still Peja who has entered the twilight of his career.

Once this guy feels it, he really can't stop it.

The basketball was shot softly by Peja. In fact, Peja's shooting posture is not standard. His right hand will always block his vision, but, it is accurate...

Peja was like shooting in an open space, and a three-pointer passed through the net.

"Shut up." The pleasant voice lingered around Peja again, the guy smiled slightly, and pointed to Yiyang to express his gratitude. Then step back quickly, ready to defend. It's just that from the beginning to the end, the old guy had a smile on his face. He felt extremely happy!

"Peja! As soon as he came on the field, this 34-year-old veteran played a role! Maybe you are wrong Charles, he is old, but he is not useless!"

In the following round, the Trail Blazers planned to use Wallace to attack Peja's point. Although Peja is tall and long, Wallace is more mobile.

After receiving the pass from the old Miller, Wallace did not hesitate, and after making a few three-threat moves, he broke through quickly.

Peja judged the direction of Wallace's breakthrough, but Wallace's strong body crushed Peja and continued to move forward.

"Just fight to the end!" Peja remembered the conversation he had with Yiyang before the game started. The veteran gritted his teeth, worked hard, and at the moment Wallace was about to jump for a layup, he took advantage of his height and wingspan to press down the basketball in the hands of "Elvis Presley"!

"A hot pot that covers the head and face! Peja made a contribution, and he made the Trail Blazers return without success!"

Wallace turned his head in surprise, but saw that the European had already run to the front court.

Even though his time has passed, a great man is still great!
