Nowitzki smiled bitterly.

That, it seems a little difficult and a little unrealistic.

"Anything is possible, Barkley isn't all against us, so you'll have to be ready for G7."

Sun Hao saw Nowitzki's expression, touched Nowitzki's long hair and said.

Anything is possible, this future propaganda slogan of the NBA, is very infectious.

Nowitzki put away his smile and nodded earnestly, that was the only thing he could do.

Upon arrival in San Antonio, the Mavericks practiced behind closed doors and were not open to the media the entire time.

Even if Nowitzki will play, the media did not get a definite word before the game.

The next night, the Spurs' home arena of the Atapapat Center was packed.

This is the Spurs' match point game, and winning this game will allow them to eliminate the Mavericks 4-2 and return to the Western Conference Finals once again.

They're expecting that to happen, too, because last time, they went straight to the Western Conference finals and won the championship.

Players from both teams entered the field one after another.

It was at this time that the fans spotted Nowitzki in a suit and leather shoes.

The scene erupted in cheers.

This kind of dress shows that Nowitzki will not fight tonight!

Nowitzki doesn't play, and the Spurs can't lose this game!

In fact, if it weren't for Nowitzki in the last game, the Spurs would have ended the battle in three quarters, and there wouldn't have been the mess of the last few minutes.

A smile appeared on Vicky's face.

In the last game, he was ready to say to Nelson Sr. that "you can't win the championship your way", although it was a game late, but he could accept it.

After the warm-up on both sides, it was time for the opening ceremony.

The starters of both teams have been released one after another.

On the Mavericks' side, Nash and Sun Hao on the outside, Finley and Huo Ershu on the front, and Bradley on the center.

This lineup is very conventional, but this is also a helpless move that Nowitzki can't play, and the old Nelson can't play.

Cuban also went to the sidelines with the team, and his face didn't look very good.

This lineup, even if he is the number one fan of the Mavericks, feels that there is basically no chance of winning.

On the Spurs' side, Avery Johnson and Porter on the perimeter, Daniels at small forward, Duncan and Robinson at centers.

** Vicky also made changes to the starting lineup, with the previously well-performing "Little General" coming into the starting lineup to replace Anderson, who had a poor performance in the series.

Coupled with Daniels' return to the starting lineup, Vicky fielded the team's strongest lineup, which was trying to knock the Mavericks down with a stick in the opening game.

The game started immediately, and Sun Hao called out to the starters who were going to play at this time.

He raised his hand and clenched his fist, but this time he didn't shout the team slogan, but just said two words in a firm tone.

“fordirk。”

For Dirk.

These two words are more motivating than any rhetoric.

"Toot!"

The referee's whistle blows, Bradley dials the ball back to the Mavericks halfcourt, and G6 begins!

The Mavericks played in the frontcourt, Nowitzki didn't play, and Uncle Huo played his previous role, taking advantage of the cover to shoot from the middle distance.

"Huh!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

Second Uncle Huo is not a player with explosive scoring, and the highest score in a single game is only 42 points, which he got when he was on the Bullets in his second year as a rookie.

But his scoring has been consistent, especially his one-handed long-range jumper, which is his killer weapon.

Second Uncle Huo helped the Mavericks take the lead, but Duncan turned inside and wiped the board to score two points.

Although the lineup was adjusted, the Spurs grabbed the Mavericks to play inside.

And just hit Duncan.

If you were to pick one of the most consistent players in the NBA, Duncan would be elected with a high number of votes.

However, Uncle Huo made a mid-range jumper that shook after receiving the ball...... And also!

He scored 4 points in a row!

The Mavericks' bench was boiling.

Nowitzki was not there, and Second Uncle Huo stepped forward!

Duncan's 45° angle is again!

He fought with Nowitzki last time, and this time he faced Uncle Huo again!

Second Uncle Huo continued to receive the ball in the frontcourt, and the Mavericks' thinking was the same as the last game, playing the Spurs' mid-range.

This time, though, Duncan's help was in place.

Second Uncle Huo held the ball and burst in, hitting the board at close range.

"Bang!"

was seized by Duncan and came directly to a pegboard hat!

Compared with Nowitzki, Second Uncle Huo's talent is still a little worse after all.

However, Second Uncle Huo actually struggled to win the offensive rebound!

After he won the offensive rebound, he saw that Duncan was still in front of him, and instead of attacking it, he threw the ball to the outside Nash to continue to organize.

Although the offense didn't work out this time, it disrupted the Spurs' defensive formation.

Sun Hao took advantage of Finley's cover to catch the ball, and shot directly with three points.

"Huh!"

Hand up and knife down.

Sun Hao hit the Mavericks' first three-pointer of the game!

4 to 7!

Although Nowitzki couldn't play, the Mavericks started the game with the Spurs and didn't fall behind.

Buckley's metaphysics is at work? Or, for Dirk.

Johnson also took advantage of Duncan's cover to break through to the basket!

Although the little general does not have the ability to shoot three-pointers from the outside, he uses this hand to break through to the old.

6 to 7!

The Mavericks didn't make a wave of frontcourt and Robinson didn't shoot from mid-range, but Duncan scored on a layup.

8 to 7.

Sun Hao ran from the outside and shook for three points, deceived Porter and rushed into the interior to shoot out of Duncan's confrontation, and the referee did not blow the whistle.

But Sun Hao threw himself and grabbed himself, grabbed the offensive rebound and then caused Duncan to foul!

Continued against the sky, Sun Hao hit both penalties!

8 to 9!

Although Nowitzki couldn't play, the Mavericks played more tenacious than ever.

There is no tactical game, there is no shooting accuracy, it is just one word, fight.

At the end of the first quarter, the score on the court was 25-20.

The Mavericks were stunned and stalemate with the Spurs in the first quarter!

At the end of the first quarter, Nowitzki got up and high-fived his teammates.

He could feel that hunger for victory in his teammates that he had never felt before, and that hunger was because of him.

Just like Sun Hao told him on the plane, they were going to bring the game back to Dallas!

The game entered the second quarter of the bench period, and Sun Hao was panting off the court.

Nowitzki wasn't there, and he was full in the first quarter.

It was only one quarter of the game, and he already felt that he was most physically exhausted.

The Spurs also played hard tonight.

Although it was a match point game, they lost the tie-break and played in Dallas, which was not good for them.

In the second quarter, the Spurs attacked first, the ball hit the inside, and the Mavericks contracted their defense.

Rose's turnaround shot...... No!

Booth protects defensive rebounds.

The Mavericks went to the frontcourt, and Easley burst through Kukoc, who made a three-point shot.

"Huh!"

Entered!

He added three points last summer!!

Anderson's three-point shot in the front court was missed.

As the Spurs' third-leading scorer in the regular season, Anderson was supposed to be the team's outside core, but his performance since the playoffs has been terrible.

He averaged 7 points per game and shot just over 26 from the field and from three-point range.

If it weren't for the fact that he still has a defensive hand, and there aren't too many people on the outside of this Spurs team, he might not be able to play.

But if there is no if, he still has to fight.

And don't say it, Ferry seems to be just a substitute for the Spurs, but his absence has really a big impact on the Spurs.

Without the most accurate gun on the outside, the Mavericks' shrinking Spurs offense would really be wasted.

This is the characteristic of this era, and most coaches, including Vicky, have not yet adopted the three-point shot as a mainstream tactic, or they have not yet realized the effect of the three-point shot.

The Mavericks played a fast break, Kukoc received the ball and dummeled a shot to break through, and then scored in the face of Rose's dodged layup!

25 draws!

After Kukoc scored five straight points, the Mavericks tied the score!

The last tears of the Bull Dynasty!

After Uncle Huo arrived at the Mavericks this season, Kukoc's tactical position on the team dropped sharply, and the second round of the rotation was also behind.

Without playing time, his whole state has dropped quite badly.

But in the most crucial game, he stepped up!

Anyway, that's the sixth person to complete three consecutive championships with Jordan!

Anderson breaks through to layup or not!

From the cold eyes of Vicky, you can feel that the Spurs' career as the first-round pick who entered the league with Duncan has come to an end.

Back to it, it was Kukoc again, who scored a layup with the ball and scored a layup, and also caused Rose's hitter!

After the goal, Kukoc turned and pointed to the Mavericks' bench in the other half.

For Dirk!

Sun Hao stood up and applauded Kukoc.

Tonight's Mavericks, just for Dirk!

Over there, Vicky saw that the momentum was not right, so he had to replace Duncan on the court early.

Forcing Duncan to play early, Kukoc's performance in this segment was strategic for the Mavericks.

Kukoc's free throw also gave the Mavericks a three-point lead over the Spurs.

But the next round, Duncan scored a mid-range shot at the free-throw line.

Cultivate both inside and outside, and become a Buddha on the ground.

Duncan broke the team's scoring drought as soon as he came up.

However, Kukoc gave Easley a pass in the bag, and the latter's throw after breaking through and facing Robinson also scored!

Although he fell to the ground after colliding with Robinson.

But when he got up and ran to the backcourt, he, like Kukoc, reached for the Mavericks' bench.

For Dirk!

Nowitzki's eyes are a little red.

Tonight, his brother really fought hard!

Four minutes off the bench, the Mavericks played extremely tenacious.

Although the Spurs found their offensive rhythm after Duncan came up, the Mavericks didn't cut off the score.

By the time the main team returned, the score on the field was 32 draws.

In this paragraph, the Mavericks not only did not pull away from the score, but erased the point difference!

"Leave it to me."

Sun Hao slapped Kukoc's ass when he came on the court.

In this paragraph, Kukochi contributed a lot.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The fans cheered for the Spurs in unison.

This time it was not about how well the team was doing, but because they felt threatened.

Just as people deliberately speak out loud in the face of danger to find security, they are now in such a state.

This kind of cheering did work, Second Uncle Huo was followed by Duncan, and the Mavericks couldn't fight the positional battle.

Without Nowitzki, it is really difficult to stir up the Spurs' defense with just one Uncle Huo.

And you can also feel that Vicky has made small adjustments defensively.

The perimeter defenders are all leaning inward and standing, and the mid-range is not played, even in the first quarter.

Being able to lead the team to the first championship in team history two years ago, ** Vic Even if Sima Vic is at this level.

There was not much time left to attack, and Nash finally gave the ball to Sun Hao.

Sun Hao shot a three-point shot from a meter away from the three-point line.

"Phew!"

He had just come on and his first shot was missed.

But at this moment, Bradley grabbed the offensive rebound with a long arm.

And he immediately worked at height and scored on top of Robinson's head!

32 to 34!

Mavericks, once again overtake the score!

Bradley also pointed to the team's bench in the middle of the defense.

For Dirk!

Starting with Kukoc, the action has been given a new meaning in this game!

Old Nelson's expression was a little moved.

He's been coaching for so many years, he's seen everything, but tonight was really the first time in his coaching career.

Everyone on the team, doing the same thing, stretched out their fingers to the team bench, for Dirk!

This team has unimaginable cohesion!

The Spurs' approach has brought out the potential of this team in a sense!

Duncan's inside bag directly forced a one-handed dunk!

34 draws!

The scene burst into cheers, and this buckle was a shot in the arm.

Duncan is truly a rock, standing still no matter how big the flood is.

The ball boosted the morale of the Spurs, and in retrospect, the Mavericks' offense was defended with little chance of being defended.

The defensive strength of this Spurs team is really not just what the average points per game shows.

It is no exaggeration to say that before the Pistons Five came out, the Spurs had no obvious defensive holes on the court and were the strongest defensive team in the league with a stronger defense than the 76ers.

There was not much time left to attack, and the ball was in Sun Hao's hands again.

This time he deliberately took a step forward, shook Daniels and closed the distance to the three-point line.

The moment the ball was shot, the shooter's intuition told him that he had it.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Sun Hao's three points also entered!

37 to 34!

Tonight's Mavericks, in difficult times, there is always someone who can step up!

Sun Hao also stretched out his hand to the team's bench during the retreat.

Dirk, thisisforyou!

Nowitzki's eyes were red.

He was never a soft egg, even in the face of Duncan and was convinced, he continued to do it, and he scored the highest points of his playoff career in the last game.

But what his teammates did tonight really touched him.

In the stands, Kuban's expression also changed.

Originally, he thought Nelson Sr. was stubborn, but now it seems that Nowitzki did not play, but he brought unexpected inspiration to the Mavericks.

Nelson Sr. is the head coach after all, and knows more about the team than he knows as an owner.

Duncan passes the ball to Robinson, who hits from mid-range.

But in retrospect, Finley threw himself and grabbed himself, and the second offense under the basket caused Robinson to hit!

After hitting both free throws, Finley also reached out to the Mavericks' bench.

Three military lives, just for Dirk!
