The Godfather of Basketball

The next two quarters became Nowitzki's personal performance.

Facing James, whether it is a direct shot after catching the ball, or a difficult fallback, or even a double-teamed Golden Rooster, he can always send the ball to the basket accurately.

After being limited by James for two games, Driver finally started to enter his "invincible" mode.

This is also the third time Tang Tian saw a player enter the zone mode.

In the first two times, one was Peak Mai and the other was Peak Branch.

The Cavaliers' configuration of the fourth position is a weakness. At this time, there is no way to take Nowitzki, who has already entered the zone, and can only limit him to receive the ball as much as possible.

93 to 90, scoring 33 points in three quarters, Nowitzki is the incarnation of "Lu Bu", just passed the Big Three abruptly, helping the Mavericks enter the final quarter with a 3-point lead.

The scene is somewhat familiar.

In the sixth game between the Mavericks and the Heat in the previous life, it was also the same score. After the Heat's Big Three were all stiff, mistakes and various shots were outrageously biased, no one even dared to attack, and finally was taken away by a wave.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Paul led the team, and the two sides played on the bench for the first two or three minutes.

Tang Tian stood on the sidelines and looked back at James behind him.

After being broken by Nowitzki's defense, his performance was a little lost, and he felt like returning to his previous life.

It's not his fault, he has half-abandoned offense and devoted himself to defense, but he was still scored by Nowitzki unscrupulously. That kind of frustration is really uncomfortable.

Paul made an emergency stop jumper after a false pass to Iverson in the frontcourt.

He still maintained the fiery touch of the first two games.

But looking back, Terry also made a three-point jumper after shaking off Iverson.

The touch is contagious, and the rest of the Mavericks also shot away.

The game lasted more than two minutes, 100 to 97, and the point difference was still 3 points.

The two sides began to replace the starting lineup one after another.

The Cavaliers have the big three on the stage, and the Mavericks have Kidd, Barea and Terry in addition to Dirk Nowitzki.

With continuous push and counterattack and speed, this lineup has received miraculous effects.

And after gaining speed, Paul's offensive end was greatly curbed, and Yao Ming had a hard time catching the ball. As for James, he was still lost.

When there were about 5 minutes left in the game, the score on the field was 109 to 101, and the Mavericks opened the score in a daze.

The scene also made Tang Tian feel more and more familiar.

He got up and called a timeout.

Nowitzki is the kind of player who plays better at critical moments. If the Cavaliers lose this game in the end, it is likely that the trend of the entire series will be completely reversed.

You must know that the Mavericks played against the Heat in the previous life, and they came back from a big deficit twice.

The last thing this team lacks is tenacity.

"LeBron, I need you."

This time Tang Tian didn't hide it, and when James was off the court, he spoke directly.

"You have to learn to play in this situation, that's what you have to lose, if you can't stand up, this will be a hurdle that you will never get over in your career, and you don't deserve to say that your goal is the first in history people."

His words are by no means alarmist. The timidity of the 11 years in his previous life is an ironclad proof that all Zhan Hei are fond of talking about.

James was stunned, he didn't expect Tang Tian to speak so directly and nakedly.

In front of all teammates.

However, this was a blow to the head, and it woke him up directly.

Yes, if Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks can't beat, how could he become the first person in history.

If this critical moment is so lost, what qualifications does he have to talk about the goal of the first person in history.

Seeing James' gradually changing expression, Tang Tian knew that his words had worked.

"Prove it to me." Tang Tian finally said.

After the timeout, the lineups of both sides remained the same, and the game came to the final decisive moment.

"Defend! Defend!"

The shouts at the American Airlines Center were deafening.

After seeing the hope of winning, they tried their best to cheer for the home team.

The enthusiasm of the Cowboys is always on fire.

In the Cavaliers' offense, Paul played Barea in the low post, and the special case of the weak side came to help defend immediately.

Paul passed the ball to Green, Kidd helped defend the past, and Barea quickly switched to James.

The disadvantage in height is directly made up for by speed.

Green doesn't have the ability to attack independently, and Chandler also goes around the front and refuses to catch the ball for Yao Ming.

More than half of the offensive time, the Cavaliers didn't even have a good shot.

At this time, James cut to the low post on the right without the ball, leaning against Barea and reaching for the ball.

Green went in with a lob.

Seeing that there is a matchup advantage, Paul directly reached out to signal his teammates to open up the space.

Tang Tian also looked at the field at this time.

James vs. Barea.

familiar scene.

Whether James' personal trajectory will be corrected by history, or will change, depends on his performance in the next few minutes.

With his back against Barea, James exerted all his energy and directly started back hitting.

Turn around, recover, feel the change of Barea's center of gravity, and turn around again.

After being trained by Olajuwon for a summer and a season of hard training, his back-up skills have reached the pinnacle of his career.

After turning around and sensing the shift of Barea's center of gravity, he chose to turn to the bottom line for a breakthrough.

Although Barea has excellent strength, his body is too weak after all. After being turned around by James, he can only choose to deadlift.

His strength is indeed excellent, directly holding James.

But James is very smart. He felt fouled and shot directly.

"beep!"

The referee blows his whistle, indicating that this is a pulling foul.

There was booing.

James shrugged and walked to the free throw line.

The sound of interference at the scene was overwhelming.

Free throws have never been James' strong point. As long as he misses two free throws, Barea's foul will not be a loss.

Take a deep breath.

Tang Tian's words during the pause echoed in his mind.

"Shua!"

The first free throw was hit.

There was a noise at the scene.

When he made the second free throw, the cheers were even louder, even mixed with a lot of boos.

He took a deep breath, looked at the basket with piercing eyes, and then shot.

"Shua!"

Still hollow into the net.

Made two free throws!

A very good start.

The Mavericks' offense, Nowitzki received the ball, and the Cavaliers double-teamed directly.

Terry on the weak side caught the ball and made a three-pointer. Paul tried his best to defend at this time, which interfered with his shot.

"boom!"

Terry hit the iron with a three-pointer, Yao Ming accepted the defensive rebound, and threw his hands to Paul to counterattack.

Terry pressed fast, delaying his fast break.

At this time, Barea also chased after him fiercely from behind.

At this moment, Paul noticed a red figure also galloping towards the right.

James!

Paul jumped up and flicked the ball out.

After receiving the ball, James glanced at Barea and Terry who were retreating to the basket, and directly chose a chasing three-pointer.
