\u003ccontent\u003e

"7 of 11 shots, 18 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal. Also, this guy once again gave us a great show, and once again brought the Mavericks the game. I I know, before this, there were people who were not optimistic about a rookie's performance in the playoffs. But now, no matter who it is, there is no reason to question it." At this moment, there are dozens of seconds before the end of the game , The coaches of both sides also replaced marginal players. During this rubbish time, the chatter of the commentators naturally shifted from on-court to off-court.

"It's not just the outstanding personal data. Peja Stojakovic made 5 of 10 three-pointers today and scored a flashy 21 points. Without Yi's good guidance, it may be difficult for Peja to play like this stats. Of course, not to mention Dirk's 33 points. He and Yi are already familiar with each other."

As soon as Barkley finished speaking, the referee blew the whistle that represented the end of the game.

Until the end, the Trail Blazers were unable to take the lead again. ? They swallowed a two-game losing streak at the center of the American Airlines route, carrying a heavy score of 2-0. You know, before the start of the series, the Trail Blazers were recognized by the outside world as the team most likely to be upset. But so far, McMillan's team has not even won a game.

For Cuban's team, it was a satisfying ending. Although, this score does not mean that the Mavericks will definitely get tickets to enter the second round, and the Blazers still have the opportunity to change the trend of the playoffs at their home court. But the balance of victory has undoubtedly begun to tilt toward the Mavericks.

As soon as the game was over, Carlisle turned around and walked towards the visiting team's bench. When he was five or six meters away from McMillan, the guy stretched out his hand with a bright smile on his face.

"A good game, isn't it?"

McMillan also held out his hand, and the two held hands together. But the black coach had the words "Reluctant" written on his face.

"Wonderful game, congratulations to you and your team, coach." Although reluctant, McMillan could not lose his demeanor in the face of other people's initiative to shake hands.

Seeing that McMillan was extremely reluctant but had to congratulate himself, Carlisle couldn't help but laugh. Regarding the verbal battle between the two coaches, it was widely publicized by the media before the game started. And now, as the double winner of the game and the battle of words, how could Carlisle give up enjoying the results of his game?

"It's only been two games, and we don't know the outcome of the game yet." Seeing Carlisle's happy face, McMillan said something, hoping to remind his opponent that everything has not yet been settled. This is also subtly telling Carlisle, "Don't be too happy!"

"you're right,

Everything is still inconclusive. I'm looking forward to seeing you in Portland, man! "

After Carlisle and McMillan bid farewell, instead of walking back to the player tunnel, he turned around and looked at the stadium.

The players on both sides did not hug each other friendly after the game. Before the end of the series, the two teams that were rivals in the series did not have much friendship to speak of.

The Trail Blazers players hurriedly left the court one by one, even unwilling to accept more interviews with reporters. The Mavericks players stayed on the field and raised their hands to thank the "blue ocean" in the stands.

Afterwards, the Mavericks players hugged each other one by one. As for Yiyang, he became the one surrounded by his teammates again.

"The arrival of Yi has changed this team a lot. This Mavericks team is full of vitality and confidence. Most importantly, they have the capital to win." The commentary work of Kenny Smith and Barkley did not In the end, as long as there is live footage on the TV, these two guys will have to talk on and on.

"I admit, before the playoffs started, I underestimated this team. At that time, everyone wanted to squeeze the persimmon, and everyone thought that the Trail Blazers had met the best opponent. But, look at it now Although the outcome of the series cannot be predicted, no matter what the result is, the Trail Blazers are not easy to deal with!" Barkley had to bow his head this time and say some words of praise for the Mavericks. After all, their performance is there, even if you want to quibble, there is no way to start. You can't learn from McMillan and use "luck" as an excuse.

While Barkley and Kenny Smith were boasting, the reporters had already entered the stadium and began to look for their favorite objects to conduct interviews.

Apart from Nowitzki and Yiyang, there are also many reporters around Peja Stojakovic, a veteran who has not been noticed for a long time.

"21 points, 5 three-pointers. Do you remember the last time you showed such a performance in the playoffs? When was it?" The reporters brought the topic to this veteran one by one. Jia didn't show any resistance, just smiled slightly.

"To be honest, I don't remember. I feel like I haven't played so well for a long time. Today's game must be a gift from God to me." As an old guy who has experienced countless ups and downs, Peja has long since passed Will be excited to get attention again.

"Thank God? Isn't it because you are in good condition?" A reporter asked jokingly.

"You reminded me that besides God, I have to thank Yi. I seem to feel younger when I am with young people. The role of that guy in the playoffs is not only the statistics on the court, after all , Cuban didn’t pay him to do math problems. Off the court, he will motivate the whole team all the time. With such a teammate, I think we will continue to win!” Regarding Peja himself, this European No one said a word. 21 points and 5 three-pointers, this is his honor. But in Peja's view, this is Yiyang's credit.

On the court, the players of the Mavericks were harmonious and the atmosphere was cheerful. The Trail Blazers' locker room was lifeless.

As soon as Gerald Wallace returned to the locker room, he sat in front of his locker, silent.

He is eager to make a breakthrough in his career, and he doesn't want to be stuck in the first round of the playoffs for the rest of his life. But what about the result? As a result, today, he allowed Peja to score 21 points. Let a 34-year-old "old man" score 21 points!

If Marion scored 21 points on his head, maybe Gerald Wallace would not be so depressed. But Peja, the name of Peja, Gerald Wallace will never forget it all his life.

When Wallace first entered the league, the first team he joined happened to be "the King" composed of Peja and others.

It's just a pity that the system of the Kings at that time was that the inside line needs to be flexible and the overall situation should be supported, and the outside line needs to be able to shoot well and be smart enough. In the end, everyone is an "intellectual". Wallace got into it, like a black whirlwind into the Hanlin Academy, with no chance to play. His fast break and tough style of play, in the hands of Adelman simply can't pull it off.

During his three years with the Kings, Wallace's high school reputation faded away. No one remembers his original glory anymore, Gerald Wallace? A role player for the Kings who can't make the primary rotation? Pretty comprehensive, but only on the defensive end. Good body, playing hard.

He has even gradually degenerated to the point where he can be compared with a group of development league players-isn't he just trying to get fit?

Just when the high school prodigy's career was in jeopardy, Adelman gave Gerald Wallace a chance. In 2003, Wallace asked himself to hit 1,000 jump shots every day, actively fight on the court, and never give up any chance. Such efforts made Adelman no longer able to ignore this guy. That year, Wallace's playing time also began to slowly increase.

Looks like this guy's career is about to take a turn for the better. It's just...it's just a pity that Peja played the greatest season of his career that year. Under the halo of Peja, the name Gerald Wallace is still bleak.

Peja Stojakovic, a guy Wallace has been chasing but never surpassing. After so many years, Peja is no longer that super scorer, and Gerald Wallace has also faded the aura of "Elvis Presley". The league started to look different, and everything around it was never the same again. But when they fought again, Wallace found that one thing hadn't changed.

Peja still defeated himself, and he still lost so thoroughly.

"Damn it!" Thinking of this, Gerald Wallace couldn't help clenching his fists.

After returning to Portland, the first All-Star player in the history of the Bobcats will very likely bring new troubles to the Mavericks.

This is the case in the playoffs, anyone may suddenly stand up. Anyone is likely to be the final winner after 7 games...

Be careful, "Elvis" will scratch people if he is in a hurry. \u003c/content\u003e
