Chapter 154: The King of Dallas

Who is Robert Swift? Claire had a vague impression of this striking white center. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After all, before this game, this guy didn't get even a minute of playing time, but now as soon as he came on the field, he completely disrupted his deployment.

"Dirk, it's okay to take that kid, right?" Carlisle asked the gasping German. A rookie center shouldn't let Dirk play out of sorts.

"No problem, let's play at our own pace and ignore each other's tricks. "Nowitzki, as someone who has played on the court himself, naturally knows the depth of Anjie's level. Although the Chinese's defense was indeed active, it did not make him nowitsuki surrender like this.

"Alright, Dampier you don't try to wrap it up later, just keep that damn Swift on the ground. ”

Dampier didn't speak, just nodded silently. In the first half, he was deducted by Swift, and he was unwilling until now.

"That German is really elegant, I feel like he's a gentleman on the basketball court, completely different from the two big rude guys on the Thunder. Abrahi smiled and spoke to Giardina, and in his eyes only those who move gracefully and good-looking can be called strong. Unconsciously, he has been angrily targeted by the surrounding Thunder fans, but he himself is unaware.

This shrewd guy is a complete idiot when it comes to sports. Isn't it boring to say that the Mavericks players are good at the Thunder's home court.

"I think competitive sports should be a bit bloody, and I like the Thunder's No. 16 and No. 31. Giardina likes the opposite, where the fierce confrontation and tough style of play are what she finds most attractive about a player.

"Oh my God, let's just say that number 31, that tattoo doesn't look like a good person. If these players don't know how to play, they must be some scum at the bottom of society. Hurting others is as normal for them as eating and sleeping. "Abrahi has also heard a lot about the scandals between football stars and actresses in the entertainment industry, and the news of fights between players and players. Therefore, in his impression, professional players are just some "gangsters".

"What about the Chinese? Giardina unconsciously looked at the tunnel and hoped that the big man would come on soon.

"That guy has a fierce face, he must be a grumpy guy. Don't look at him for no fouls on the court, but I can see that he has a lot of unsportsmanlike little actions!" This skill is placed on the basketball court and will not be invalidated. Anjie's small actions against Nowitzki naturally failed to escape Abrahi's eyes.

"Okay, Mr. Abrahi, everyone's field is different, if you don't be tough on the court, how can you defend well?"

Just as Giardina and his manager in the stands were having a heated discussion, a short 15-minute half-time break ended and the second half of the game began as scheduled.

"Coach Van Gundy still keeps Robert Swift on the court, and will the Mavericks be able to break through Coach Van Gundy's defensive set-up after a halftime adjustment?"

Nowitzki still receives the ball as soon as he lands well, but he's just as smart inside. Even if he is much more famous than An Jie, he will not go toe-to-toe with An Jie.

Nowitzki started pushing back to the basket one step inside the free-throw line, and Anjie was pulled out too much by Nowitzki, and the entire box was exposed to the Mavericks' firepower.

Dampier used his massive frame to cover the passing lane, leaving Robert Swift behind him with no chance.

Seeing Dampier walking to the basket, Nowitzki suddenly turned around and faced the frame, and Anjie jumped high to block, he thought the German was going to shoot!

Unexpectedly, Nowitzki passed the ball out of Anjie's armpit and into the hands of Dampier, who cut in from the top of the arc. Robert Swift couldn't find any room to block, so he could only watch as the "second center in the league" staged a dunk in front of his eyes.

"Roar! Nowitzki is using Anjie's style of play to match the color! Beautiful fake shots, Robert Swift can't stop Dampier from rushing up. ”

Nowitzki is a tight machine imported from Germany, running on the pitch with precision and reason. But the word precision is not reflected in verse 3.

After a few minutes of play, Westbrook was on fire again and had already managed to score twice. But the Mavericks, on their side, did not respond except for Dampier's slam dunk.

Nowitzki relied on Anjie's back for the second time, and he completed the action of the Golden Rooster retreating independently. Anjie hated Nowitzki's raised thighs, but he still pounced bravely and tried his best to interfere without fouling.

The Germans moved unremarkably and looked very stretched. However, Dirk was not very satisfied with his shot, and sure enough, everything in front of him looked perfect, but in the end, the basketball just knocked out of the frame.

"0-of-3! Oops! What's wrong with Nowitzki's quarter!?"

All the TV commentators asked the same question, Anjie's defense is excellent, but it is not enough to prevent Nowitzki from scoring a point. There is no one in this league who can do that. Even the two great No. 4s, "Wolves" and Spurs leader Tim Duncan, who have become greenshirts, can't do it.

But it really happened, Nowitzki took three shots, all off target, and the third quarter has played so far, not scoring a single point!

When Anjie can't shoot accurately, he can still go to the basket. But when Nowitzki couldn't shoot accurately, he couldn't easily score under the basket. Especially against Anjie, Nowitzki's confrontation and footwork are not dominant, which makes it difficult for him to come up with a different way to deal with Anjie's defense.

Claire never imagined that Nowitzki was really restricted!

In fact, it is not only Anjie's defensive reasons, but Nowitzki's own poor hand is also one of the main factors for his failure to score. Luckily, Anjie happened to encounter a time when the Germans didn't feel good.

Nowitzki couldn't score, and the Mavericks' offense collapsed in an instant. With the exception of Jason Terry, who continues to score, none of them can pose a threat on the offensive end.

On the other hand, the Thunder, the first quarter of the first half belonged to Westbrook, the second quarter belonged to Anjie, and the third quarter belonged to both of them.

Westbrook borrowed Anjie's block to smash the Yellow Dragon, and in the face of Dampier's slow attack, Westbrook easily threw and scored two more points.

In the next round, it was Anjie and Westbrook who blocked and dismantled, but this time Anjie's follow-up was very positive. When he cut into the box, Westbrook made a well-placed pass that gave Anjie a chance in the three-second zone.

In the face of Nowitzki's close defense, Anjie shook his shoulders and hooked his hand again, hitting the German without temper.

"Ann's hook is too high, and it feels very soft. Nowitzki is the type of player who can't complete the block. ”

Anjie and Westbrook both opened fire, sending the Mavericks, whose offense was bogged down.

Seeing this, Claire quickly replaced the team's top scorer J.J. Barria on the bench, but Novitzki's feeling not only affected him, but also infected his teammates.

He made 0 of 2 three-pointers, all of which added up to 0 of 4 shots. Barria, who doesn't rely on shooting as his main means of scoring, can't break through the interior to create damage. The guard, who was able to help his team score with a few three-pointers every game, was just as scoreless as Nowitzki today.

That's the downside of shooting alone, and when the players don't feel good, that team's scoring momentum comes to an abrupt halt. The Mavericks' offensive firepower this season is not strong, and the interior offense is even weaker.

When they can't score with the shots they rely on, the whole game will gradually get out of control.

Fortunately, Jason Terry hit two three-pointers from the outside, otherwise the Mavericks might not have been able to score in double digits in the quarter.

"15-31! Can you believe it!? The Mavericks scored only 15 points in this quarter! Only less than half of the Thunder's! 59-79, is the Thunder going to kill the game in just three quarters!?

No matter how big the difference is, the game will continue to play in the fourth quarter. Seeing that his team led by 20 points, Van Gundy was relieved to keep Anjie and Westbrook on the bench, leaving Collison and Kostic to partner inside.

Faced with a weak defense at the beginning, the Germans really found their form.

In the first two shots against Corrison's defense, Nowitzki still couldn't score, but on his third shot, Nowitzki finally broke his scoring drought.

"Finally, the Mavericks have been waiting for this moment for a long time! Can Nowitzki keep his touch!?"

The answer is yes, once the shooting player shoots away, it will only play more and more smoothly. For a player of Nowitzki's calibre, a goal is enough to get him back to his senses.

"Jason Kidd borrowed Eric Dampier to break through with a pick-and-roll!" Earl Watson is still too tender in front of Kidd, Kidd has every chance to make a layup!"

At that moment, Damion Wilkins reached out and nearly took the basketball that Kidd controlled. In desperation, Kidd held the ball with both hands and jumped to avoid a steal, but also forced himself to stop.

Without hesitation, seeing that Nowitzki was not near the three-second zone, Kidd immediately started to pass the ball, and a wide area transfer allowed Nowitzki to receive the ball outside the three-point line.

Kidd's sudden, wide-ranging move gave Nowitzki an open shot, and Nick Collison swooped out, just in time for Nowitzki's shot. Although he was unable to complete the cap, he thought that he had seriously disturbed the Germans' view.

Before Collison could turn around after landing on the ground, he heard the sound of the net tumbling. He quickly looked up at the huge LED screen at the scene, yes, the score was rewritten, and Nowitzki scored three points into the net!

"Damn!" Collison had tried his best, but he couldn't get anything in return.

"Rebound strongly! Dirk Nowitzki scored five straight points! The Thunder's second team is vulnerable in front of Nowitzki!"

15 points, 12 points, 10 points, 8 points, when Nowitzki scored again to chase down the deficit to just six points, Jeff Van Gundy looked at the time, and then moved the main lineup back.

"I think Van Gundy should have brought Anjie and Westbrook up earlier, now the difference is only 6 points, Nowitzki's touch has been completely cultivated, he is only changing now, it's too late!" Once again, Van Gundy's rigid on-the-spot command was criticized by Charles Barkley.

Regardless of the situation on the field, only make substitutions according to the established plan. Barkley couldn't figure out how such a coach could have been successful.

Whether Van Gundy's tactical philosophy is justified or not, there is no denying that even Anjie could not stop the mad Germans when Nowitzki was not stopped in time to get his hands on it.

"Golden Rooster independent step back!Anjie couldn't stop Nowitzki this time! Nowitzki's step-back jumper was almost impossible to block, and the only way to stop him was through interference. Now, however, Nowitzki is immune to all interference!"

Originally, after the third quarter, everyone thought that the Mavericks were gone, but Nowitzki's sudden outburst made the game fierce again.

With three minutes left, the score was 84-91. Dirk Nowitzki, he's usually the guy who is underestimated. But those who underestimated him paid the price in the end.

Although Anjie kept the German clean sheet in the third quarter, it was not enough for Anjie to declare victory. Anjie is just a rookie, and Nowitzki, an international player, has become the flag of the Dallas Cowboys.

In the face of a truly strong enemy, until the last moment, it will never be possible to distinguish the winner from the loser. (To be continued.) )
