Chapter 780: Novitzki, a god
Jordan is in a hurry now, if the two are injured, it is not a big problem, relying on the strong lineup left by Richard, they still have a great advantage.
But now that the four starters have been injured, this problem has become so big that Jordan has a strong sense of crisis in his heart.
Although the ball is not impossible to play, after all, the Pirates still have Makgasol, Milicic, Harden and DeRozan four-person support scene, but the winning chance is far less than before, after all, Harden and DeRozan are too raw at the moment, how can they compare to the combination of Durant and Roy in terms of combat power.
As for Marc Gasol plus Milicic, they are not weak, but the key is that the team has no qualified substitute insiders now, so they can't let all of them play 48 minutes!
……
Sure enough, Jordan's sense of crisis was not wrong, and the G3 Mavericks finally won the next city in the finals.
In the next G4, the Pirates relied on Milicic's excellent performance and finally won narrowly, getting a big score of 3:1.
It seems that the Pirates have a big chance of winning, but in the next two games, the Mavericks won two games in a row and stubbornly pulled the big score back to a 3:3 draw!
It's a tie-breaker, and it's a finals tie-breaker, and I haven't seen such a fierce finals for some years.
The popularity of the Buccaneers can be imagined, and the Mavericks' performance this year is enough to be called inspirational, and as a result, this tie-break battle directly broke the NBA-history Finals ratings record.
Even Richard came to watch the game in person, how could he miss such an exciting game.
What made the fans addicted was that this tie-break battle did not even have a winner in regular time, and the two sides actually played overtime.
The Mavericks were still two points behind on the offensive round, but there were only seven seconds left in the game.
At the end of the timeout, the midfielder served, Marion received a pass and was ready to rush to the basket to score two points and drag the game into the next overtime.
This is the strategy set by the current Mavericks head coach Carlisle, although there are many veterans on the Mavericks' side, but there are many players available to the team, unlike the Pirates, several core players of the Pirates have played for fifty minutes in this game!
As long as these two points are scored and dragged into the second overtime, Carlisle believes that the winner will be their Dallas Mavericks!
As for just seven seconds, to force a three-point shot? It's not something Carlisle's character can do, it's Richard's style.
Carlisle is a very stable manager and there is nothing wrong with his set-up at the moment.
Richard sat on the sidelines and watched the blood rush, the game has been played to this extent, it is enough to go down in history as a fierce finals.
Carlisle's arrangement did not surprise Richard, after all, Carlisle had followed Richard for so many years, and Richard knew him quite well.
"Smack!"
To the relief of the Pirate fans in attendance, Marion's breakthrough was directly blocked by Marc Gasol, and there were only three seconds left in the game.
Looking at the current situation, the Pirates are basically already winning.
At this moment, Jet Terry, at a speed that did not match his age, jumped to grab the ball, and his whole body was almost parallel to the floor in mid-air, and the ball was dialed to Nowitzki at the critical moment.
How could Nowitzki hesitate after receiving the ball, raise his hand and shoot directly into the three-point shot.
"Doot toot!"
"Huh!"
The whistle at the end of the game sounded almost at the same time as the basketball entered the net, and Nowitzki beat the Buccaneers and led the Dallas Mavericks to the first championship trophy in team history!
Richard sat on the sidelines and secretly admired.
After this game, Nowitzki is definitely a god, and his performance in this series is even more perfect than the normal elimination of the Heat Big Three.
It was also a blessing for Richard to be able to witness such a great game with his own eyes.
The owner of the Mavericks followed the team to play away this time, and the whole person went crazy with excitement, and rushed into the field with his arms raised and short legs.
This championship is really not easy to come by, you must know that this is the only championship trophy in the history of the team, and it was won when everyone was not optimistic!
Before this round of the finals begins, who could have predicted that the Mavericks would win the championship in the end? No one, not even the Mavericks, probably didn't have the confidence to say that they wanted to win the championship.
But now they have won the championship, defeating the unbeatable Pirate team!
The old driver burst into tears with excitement, and he still remembered the pain he suffered when he was hacked by the warriors.
I still remember the pain of losing the finals in 06 and being scolded as a soft egg.
Now that everything is in the past, this time the championship has proved itself.
……
The Pirates generals and the fans at the scene were naturally heartbroken and couldn't breathe.
Five crowns dynasty, only one step away!
To be exact, there is only one goal missing, and if Nowitzki hadn't scored this final kill, it would have been them who are now smiling and waiting for Stern's award.
But how can there be so many ifs, if you lose, you lose.
Several Pirates players stepped forward to shake hands with the Mavericks players and congratulate them on winning the championship, and many fans at the scene also stood up to applaud the old driver.
……
On the night of the game, Richard accompanied Jordan for two drinks.
Jordan was directly drunk, he couldn't figure it out, why when Richard was there, the players were all good, even if they were injured, there was no big problem, and they would be able to come back immediately in the next game.
And now that Richard has just left, the players have immediately erupted into a large-scale injury wave, and it is still in the crucial finals!
Could it be that your luck is really so weak?! Could it be that I lost the finals because I was too unlucky?!
The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, Jordan drank one cup after another, and Richard naturally didn't persuade Jordan to drink less.
"Lee, my brother, I'm bitter in my heart......" After Jordan poured a glass of whiskey, he looked at Richard with a misty look in his eyes and smiled bitterly.
"Drink more bitterness, it's not like you won't have a chance to win the championship in the future, maybe you can build a dynasty in the future and become the only person in NBA history with four dynasties." Richard smiled and comforted.
"Yes, that's right, it's good to lose, next year we will make a comeback, change the team name, the new team name and new atmosphere, I want to be the man of the Four Dynasties!" Jordan poured another glass of whiskey and yelled arrogantly.
……
After two days in Charlotte, Richard returned to Los Angeles, after all, the draft was about to begin, and he had to prepare well.
This year's draft is actually not very favorable, and many people have commented that this year's draft is an inside year.
The main reason is that there are really no too outstanding big man players, in this case, no one is going to worry about what is big in the election, at least the Cavaliers who hold the top pick, their target is not a big man, but a small point guard Irving from Duke University.
Of course, although he is a small point guard, Irving's height is also 191 cm.
At present, the height of the standard point guard is 191 cm, unlike the previous decade, when the standard height of the point guard was about 185......
This can also see the trend of basketball in the future, and players in all positions on the court are moving closer to the standard height of the number three player.
……
The experts' evaluation this time is not wrong, there are indeed no top big men in this draft, otherwise, with Richard's style of preferring big men, he will definitely not target a bunch of forward and guard players.
Kante, the Eight Sages, Washen and other big men can only be said to have good strength, and the gap from the top is still a bit big.
……
No. 8 pick for Towns, No. 13 pick for Leonard, No. 30 pick for Butler, No. 60 pick for Thomas Jr., that's what Richard's draft plan is right now.
He is also praying that there will be no accidents at the draft meeting, if it is left in the past, even if there is an accident, Richard doesn't care much, after all, there are many powerful newcomers on hand, and he doesn't care about one more or less.
And now I can't care less, if I take one less, it will really make Richard's heart ache for a drop of blood.
