Contrary to the coaching staff's expectations, Yao Ming did not show a physical advantage at all under the rotation of Nowitzki and Fortson, playing 11 minutes in the first quarter and failing to score on 0-of-4 shooting, but he contributed five rebounds and two assists. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 If it weren't for Maddy's brave performance, which scored 12 points of the team's 20 points in the first quarter on 5-of-7 shooting, I am afraid that the gap would have been opened up early, and the Rockets trailed the Mavericks slightly at 20-22 at the end of the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Rockets changed their lineup, with Big Dream leading Turkoglou, Jefferson, Reed and Parker to the court. The old Nelson also responded quickly, seeing that there was a big gap between him and his expectations, and he changed people when he lost the ball for the first time. Nowitzki blocked a foul on Jefferson as he broke through, and the latter equalized with 2-of-2 free throws. Nelson Sr. replaced Walker with Fortson, and Fortson, Nowitzki and Jamison formed a three-tall (this so-called tall means that players who can play inside, but they are not very tall) frontcourt.

Jamison hit a jumper under Jefferson's defense, Parker received the ball and advanced quickly, and after breaking through, he turned and returned the ball to Jefferson outside the three-point line, who hit a shot, and the Rockets overtook the score at 25:22! Back in the other half, Jamison hit another shot.

Jefferson had two back-to-back strikes and two defenders, and he was thrilled to get the ball and kill it, only to get a sturdy hat from Finley. Nash took advantage of the opportunity to play a fast break, and Nowitzki followed up with a 25-24 score.

The two sides went back and forth for a few more rounds, and Tang Shuai saw that Jefferson was not cool-headed, so he called a timeout to replace Jefferson on Maddie. And the Mavericks used rookie small forward Josh. Howard replaces Nowitzki.

Howard made a steal on the court, but Jamison missed the shot. Fortson squeezed away Big Dream to grab the frontcourt rebound, which was handed to Howard, who hit a jumper. At 28:30, the Mavericks take the lead again.

This time the person who was too excited was replaced by the young Howard, who wanted to break through Maddie directly on a whim, but Maddie's defense was so easy to deal with, he barely relied on Maddie to hit the three-second zone but his body was a little out of balance, and his teammates were not on a good passing route, Howard could only barely throw high shots. The result, of course, is a big dream and a big hot pot. The Rockets attacked Maddy's second pass to the big dream hook shot, 30 draws!

In the next time, the Rockets insisted on playing 1 big and 4 small lineups, and Bradley, the only pure center of the Mavericks, did not get much playing time, and most of the time was playing small and small. The two sides were fast-paced, but the shooting percentage was mediocre. By the end of the third quarter, the score was 78-84, and it was still a stalemate.

***

The leading Mavericks looked a little out of their breath, and Finley looked very tired after almost playing the first three quarters. Fortson slammed into Walker in a rebounding scramble in the third quarter under Wallace's interference, still rubbing his sore knee and muttering, "It hurts to death." ”

"Rub what to knead, stop acting!" Walker retorted: "I've grabbed 8 rebounds, and what about you? The guy who specializes in rebounding and can't shoot only grabbed 3. Don't blame yourself on your knees for not beating you well. ”

Fortson stood up with angry eyes, and the pigtails on his head seemed to be automatic without wind, which really responded to the idiom "angry hair rushes to the crown". Both of them played for the Celtics in the 99-00 season, and they had a grudge back then, and now the conflict is about to erupt (note: it is true that the two have a grudge, and the quarrel in the game is fictional).

The other players hurriedly persuaded the two. Nelson Sr. also had a headache, and he ordered Fortson to return to the locker room. In the final quarter, it was up to Walker and Jamison to hold on.

***

The altercation between Walker and Fortson seems to have affected the rest of the team as well. Even the usually calm Nash came up with a passing error, Wallace broke the ball and counterattacked, and Reed easily closed for 2 points. Then Walker's poor serve caused Nash to receive the ball unsteadily, and Billups was stealed, and Chauncey added two more points to a layup. At 82:84, the rocket quickly caught up.

But the Mavericks are the league's number one shooting team after all, and Finley assisted Nash for a three-pointer when he found an opportunity. The margin returned to 5 points. Dream received a pass from Reed, shook off Nowitzki and scored 2 points, and Nash assisted Howard on a shot. The two sides come and go, and they don't give in to each other.

With 7 minutes left in the game, the Rockets finally replaced Yao Ming and Maddie, and the aces shot, ready to harvest the game! The Mavericks' locker room seems to have slipped after the mess. Nowitzki missed a three-pointer, and Walker added an iron after Howard grabbed a rebound from the frontcourt. Howard, who was active again, made another steal of Billups, but his own shot was hit by Yao Ming's hot pot.

"It's frustrating!" was hit by Da Meng and Da Yao's caps successively, and Howard looked depressed. These two centers of the Rockets are just too tall.

With a three-pointer from Maddy, it was 94 draws. The Rockets finally tied the score! There are 4 minutes left in the game. Yao Ming blocked Bradley's shot again, Wallace grabbed the rebound, the court was quiet, and the opportunity for the Rockets to overtake came.

Wallace's flying layup was covered by Bradley's long arm, and Nash got the ball to Jamison, who was ready to run fast, but Yao Ming saw through the passing route and stealed. Yao Ming connected with Maddie to break through and dunk, 96:94, the Rockets overtaken!

Nash was full of self-reproach, and it was his fourth turnover of the game, all three of which came in the fourth quarter. He quickly adjusted himself to assist Nowitzki's jumper to tie it at 96. At this moment, no one has imagined that this is the last sports goal of the game for the Mavericks.

Tang Shuai waved his hand, Wang Zhizhi and Tekoglu appeared, and the rocket discharged a tall lineup in each position. Walker sneered secretly at Dazhi's defense and reached for the ball. The Mavericks know Dazhi well, and the old Nelson has long told the players that Wang is the defensive hole in the Rockets' lineup.

Walker hit a three-point shot, and Wang Zhizhi protected the backcourt rebound.

Yuanfei is also sneering, Dazhi is really not good at one defense, but if you let you vote, will you vote? Don't vote? How could Walker's self-esteem as a star endure Wang Zhizhi's provocation. Cast? You've got to be able to get in, too.

Tekoglu hit a mid-range shot, 98-96.

"It's hard to play today. For the first time this season, I have to cherish it. Lao Te actually thought so in his heart.

Howard hit a two-pointer and Maddie singled Howard to score, 100-96.

Nowitzki broke through to a layup and knocked down Wang Zhizhi, causing a blocking foul and almost hitting 2 plus 1 (2 points and one free throw). The German reached out and picked up his old teammate from China, and the two sides looked at each other, as if they understood each other's thoughts.

"Wang, I am very pleased that you are now famous. But today it was us who were going to win. Nowitzki was unrelenting, making two of two free throws.

Dazhi, who had not been able to play for a long time, was full of energy at this time, and he ran without the ball and easily shook off Walker. Nowitzki yelled for Walker to go defensively, but Dazhi had already gotten an open three-point shot.

"Dirk, you've become a first-tier star in the league, and I admire you. But today the rocket is going to take away the victory! This is the determination that Nowitzki reads in the eyes of Wang Zhizhi.

The ball hollows into the net, 103:98. With only 50 seconds left for the Mavericks, 2 minutes and 2 minutes were no longer enough, and Nelson Sr. was forced to call a timeout and set up a three-point play.

As a result, Don's tactics were completely seen through by Lao Tang, Nowitzki was stared to death, and Howard barely missed a three-point shot. Wang Zhizhi hit 2 free throws 2 times, killing the suspense of the game. With a difference of 7 minutes in 34 seconds, there is no need to play any more.

"The hunt is over!" Funny Wallace and Parker jumped up from the bench and shouted. Finley and Walker could only pretend not to hear, and their faces were very ugly.

107-98, the Rockets had a thrilling victory over the old nemesis Mavericks.
