Dirk. Before '05, Nowitzki wasn't necessarily a superstar in the eyes of many. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he is 22 years old, in his third season in the NBA, he averaged 21+9 per game. But in the eyes of the media, he is only one of the three musketeers of Dallas.

The following year, he won his first Western Conference Player of the Week. But many fans' evaluation of him is still that the shooting is good, but the style of play is a bit "soft". A tough guy like Duncan is the representative of the power forward.

In the 02-03 season, he went one step further, and the Mavericks played a dream start and ranked first in the league. Nowitzki also became the Player of the Month, but unfortunately he was only tied with Finlin Nash. This year, his average data per game has reached 25.1+9.9+3.0, an absolute superstar. But when people count the big forwards, they think of Duncan, Garnett, Webb, and even O'Neal Jr. and Rashid.

"That German, not bad. He's probably already the fourth- or fifth-best power forward in the league, right? A lot of people say that.

Nowitzki was not convinced, he didn't understand how he was inferior to Duncan Garnett. Some media outlets are stubborn in their thinking, focusing only on traditional solid power forwards under the basket and not seeing Nowitzki shooting at an all-time level. He also doubted himself in his failures and was confused about the direction of the future, but finally decided to believe in his basketball philosophy.

"I'm not going to blindly copy other people's plays! I believe that European basketball will also be able to gain a foothold in the NBA and play a world! ”

And today, on a familiar field in Dallas, he met the league's strongest litmus test, double MVP McGrady. This also forced out the strongest Nowitzki, the complete German king.

Yao Ming used his footsteps to shake Dampier again, and lightly stretched his ape arm with a small throw. Nowitzki, who is not known for his movements, arrived in time to slap the ball out.

Dampier caught the ball and hit Yao Ming and scored one, and he laughed. It's hard to face Yao head-on, but he has a superstar interior partner, and Nowitzki's top-notch shooting ability can easily help him open up space, which is where Dampier comes in.

Maddy drove to the basket and was blocked by Nowitzki, and Daniels got the ball. The American Airlines Center was full of cheers, and Nowitzki was the god in the hearts of Dallas fans!

Terry passes the ball, Nowitzki catches the ball and makes a three-point shot. Bosh yelled and pounced, he was so close that he almost touched the point of attack. Nuo Tianwang adjusted the arc of his shot slightly, and the ball flew unusually high, constantly rotating and gliding in the air for a long time, hollow into the net!

The Rockets finally chased 2 balls, and Yao Ming's shot was once again hit by a big hat from Nowitzki's defense! A blonde female fan on the sidelines covered her mouth in excitement as if she was about to cry. Nowitzki sent three big hats in a single quarter, who said he didn't fight defensively?

Driven by the main general, the three Mavericks took the lead, and everyone dared to fight, and gradually widened the difference. At 73:83 in the third quarter, the Mavericks led by 10 points. Nowitzki has already cut 30+12+4!

The Rockets generals are a little confused, if the Jazz was a rotation break before, and the Nuggets Pistons were in poor shape, but what happened today? The Rockets obviously played at a high level on both offensive and defensive ends, but the Mavericks were still slowly expanding their advantage.

At this time, the only one who can stand up is the leader! But Maddie's dull personality is destined to lead the team to play, but he will not stand up to encourage his teammates. Billups, despite being very good and a leader, is not the type of player who sees scoring as a thing. He can't stand up and say, "Tracy will be handed over to you later," can he?

In the midst of the dilemma, the Rockets still started the final quarter of the game with an all-out stance. The first offense played a beautiful match, Jefferson cut to Chauncey's wonderful pass and got a chance to go to the basket, but the ball turned twice and slid out of the basket. Jefferson was annoyed.

Nowitzki hit Dazhi hard, and after a physical confrontation, he hit a step-back jumper. The referee's whistle blows, 2+1!

Tang Shuai shook his head and replaced Wang Zhizhi. Nowitzki's post-confrontation shooting is also a must, somewhat similar to Bodi Loga, and these Europeans are very good at making slight adjustments in a variety of irregular positions.

Maddie misses jumper. Chauncey drilled out the gap between Howard and Dampier to grab the rebound, handed it to Jefferson to shoot again, and hit 76-86 three-point shots!

Nowitzki made Bosh foul again, 2 free throws and 2 hits, just like an attacking German tank unstoppable!

Maddie hit a three-point shot against Stackhouse, 79:88!

Nowitzki came up with a mastery - the Golden Rooster hit an independent jumper, 79-90.

Maddie flies to a layup, 81:90!

The game seemed to turn into a two-person turn. Maddie hit one, Nowitzki hit one, and sparks collided between the two superstars.

Nowitzki's jumper finally hit the iron, Maddy forced the bag to draw the ball from the outside, and Billups hit 84:90 three-pointers! The margin is finally back to 6 points.

Stackhouse forced Maddy to get out of the defense and forced a shot that was hatted by Maddy. It's a pity that Yao Ming failed to hit the next single.

Howard missed a three-pointer, Dampier squeezed Yao Ming, and Nowitzki grabbed the rebound. Yao Ming hurriedly fouled, and Nuo Tianwang's free throws were steady and still hit all 2 free throws.

Maddy hit Stackhouse with his back and hit an easy turnaround jumper, 86-92.

Terry suddenly accelerated past Billups' defense, but Jefferson was in place and Terry made a stop-and-go pass to Dampier, who forced a shot. Maddie slapped her in the ground. The two sides scramble for the floor ball in chaos, Nowitzki finally got the ball from his teammates, shot the basketball, Yao Ming, who came from the change of defense, was unceremonious, and the Chinese hot pot was given to a German friend. The Dallas home stadium was silent and lost his temper.

Not long ago, Dallas fans were still rejoicing at Nowitzki's consecutive blocks, but they didn't expect that the situation would be reversed in just one quarter after 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Led by Maddie, the Rockets played a high-level defense, and then defended the opponent's 2 attacks.

Bosh hit a 2-point shot. Terry made a dribble error under Maddie's pressure, Maddy jumped high and dunked vigorously, and roared in the air amid the boos of the fans!

"It's 40 minutes! Maddie scored 40 points! Even Barkley couldn't help but shout.

"McGrady was alone, facing a city of people, and showed the arrogance of 'come with you, I will cut the same points'!" Smith also shouted praise.

This time, even the Rockets players were calmed, is this still the sleepy-eyed confused teammate who clubbed all night? He's back to last season's MVP!

Josh. Howard finally hit a 2-point jumper. Maddie missed the shot this time, but Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and passed to Billups, hitting a jumper 92:94!

After each side hit 2 irons, Novis Fund Chicken Independent Hit again, and he has already scored 41 points!

Billups hit a three-pointer to make it just one point away from 95:96!

Big Heart Terry hit the ball back, and the three-pointer also hit! Unfortunately, the referee decided to step on the line and only counted 2 points.

Yao Ming beat Dampier hard and forcibly resisted the violent buckle of hanging the basket with both hands, 97:98.

Nowitzki dribbled past Bosh and forced his way to the basket. Yao Ming makes up the defense, the whistle blows, and the foul is fouled!

Yao Ming's expression was blank, he turned his head to look at the scoreboard, there were only 31 seconds left. It's a pity that I didn't make it to the end.

Purzbila came on the pitch, while Yao Ming left the field with 6 fouls. He had a mediocre hand in this game, but he still contributed 13+14 and beat Dampier, who only got 5+9.

Nowitzki made both free throws, 97-100. The Rockets called a timeout.

"The Mavericks will definitely guard against three points, and play a simple 2 points first." Tang Shuai arranged.

"I'll take care of it." Maddie is still succinct, but in the eyes of all the Rocketeers, he's so reliable.

Old Tang nodded.

***

Maddy simply suppressed the tempo with the ball, and he kept possession while watching his teammates and defenders move.

With 25 seconds left, Maddie suddenly started and easily hit the basket. At this time, Billups, Jefferson and Tecoglu and Dazhi, who had just been substituted, were scattered to the outside, and the Mavericks were empty inside. Finally, a Maverick player couldn't stand it, and young Daniels stepped forward to help defend Maddy.

Maddie didn't hesitate to split the ball, Jefferson was empty, and he shot three-pointed, but unfortunately missed!

The rebound bounced high, but the Mavericks' defenders were all pulled away and didn't get stuck in position. Maddie grabbed the rebound and made a rebound, but still missed. Maddie used his waist and abdomen strength to get up again, and when he got the ball, Daniels pulled down Maddie and fouled!

And the ball was picked up by Maddie and flew into the net, and the ball went in! 2+1！

Madiga hits a free throw, 100 draws!

With Stackhouse missing the final blow, the two sides went into extra time.

Maddie 42 points, Nowitzki 43 points, the scoring contest of the two superstars, it seems that it will continue.

***

Nowitzki was already tired and his teammates didn't give him much support. He scored 13 points in the quarter, compared to four for his teammates. The Mavericks were forced into overtime with a 10-point lead.

"Dirk, are you in good shape?" Assistant Coach Avery Avery . Johnson asked.

"The home fans are cheering us on, how can I not?" Nowitzki laughed. Indeed, he loved Dallas and gave so much for the city in the future.

"Follow Dirk to fight and win the game!" Tang Dynasty. Nelson has finally established his authority for Nowitzki. If the Mavericks were the team of the Three Musketeers before, with the departure of Nash and Finley's injury, the Mavericks have gradually become Nowitzki's own team. Multi-core to single-core isn't necessarily a bad thing, and Dallas is thriving right now.

At the start of overtime, Nowitzki came up to receive a pass from Stackhouse and made a jumper!

"It's 45 minutes!" Barkley still has a score, "Nowitzki and McGrady, who can be the leading scorer in this game?" ”

Billups missed a three-pointer and Daniels grabbed the rebound. Pushed to the frontcourt, it was Stackhouse who passed Nowitzki, and it looked like Dirk was about to show off his independence again.

"How can you succeed again?" Maddie yelled and pounced, stretching out her long arm to block the cap.

The ball scored at the whistle, Nowitzki made a jumper, and he had to add a free throw!

Penalty hit. Billups was suddenly caught by a number of people, and he was calm enough to protect the ball, and threw the ball out of the way, but it was a pity that Nowitzki, who was tall and armed, grabbed the ball first.

Wang Zhizhi fouled defensively, Nowitzki made 2 free throws, 100-107.

"It's 50 minutes!" Barkley shouted: "It looks like the scoring champion has been produced today. ”

Maddie made another mistake and was stealed by Howard. Nowitzki shot another three-pointer, the ball went in, and he already scored 53 points!

With only three minutes left in the game, the Rockets, who were 10 points behind, had to gamble on three points. Maddie and Billups hit three three-pointers in a row, but they woke up too late and ultimately missed out on the win.

At 113:120, the two sides played a rare high score in overtime, and the Mavericks finally won at home. Nowitzki finished with a career-high 53 points on 15-of-32 shooting and 21-of-22 free throws, along with 16 rebounds, three steals and four blocks. Maddie was no slouch, shooting 19-of-36 for a quasi-triple-double of 48+9+9. The two superstars put on a spectacular game for the fans.

Of course, no matter how exciting the game is, losing is not a pleasant thing for the players. This is especially true for the defending champions with high aspirations. The Rockets have an 8-9 record after losing this game, and their win percentage has dropped below 50% again. The record was also opened by the Lakers (9-7), who are eighth in the West, by as much as one and a half times, and gradually drifted away from the playoffs. (To be continued.) )
