Although this game for the Mavericks does not have the same high expectations as the Kings generals, but they also need to go all out to win, now 27-22 they are confident of making the playoffs, but now they can't ensure that they are stable into the playoffs, after all, in this shrinking season, there is only a 5-win gap between the 5th and 10th in the West, and in less than 20 games left, every game cannot let down their guard.

"Gentlemen and ladies! I'm Grant, the commentator for today's game. Napier, this is my partner Jerry. Raezz. Today the team will face defending champion Dallas Mavericks, who are currently in sixth place in the West after losing many of the key players who won the championship last season, but the overall strength of the team has also dropped significantly. Last season, although their title prospects were not optimistic, they were also considered one of the teams to win the title, and this season they have largely dropped out of contention. Although Nowitzki and other meritorious veterans still have strong ability, after all, they are a year older, coupled with the loss of personnel and the improvement of the overall strength of the Western team this season, it is not easy for the Mavericks to maintain their current ranking. ”

That's true, but the Mavericks are still not an opponent to take lightly, and Nowitzki's veterans are still tough to deal with. Let's take a look at the starting lists of both sides today, the Kings are no different from the previous games, Terek, Jimmy, Francisco, David, DeMarcus form the starters, and Caron, who is still watching the game on the sidelines, is getting closer and closer to the day of his comeback, and in the first half of next month, Caron should be able to return to the court, Caron played for today's opponent Mavericks as the No. 3 firepower point last season, and when Caron returns to the court, the team will be able to meet the playoffs in the most complete state! Look at the Mavericks again, Jason. Kidd, Vince. Carter, Sean. Marion, Dirk. Nowitzki, Ian. Masimmi was their starting five, but let's be honest, the starting age was ...... It's too big, except for 25-year-old Masinmi, Kidd just celebrated his 39th birthday, Carter turned 35, Marion and Nowitzki are both about to turn 34, and the sixth man on the bench, Jason. Terry is also about to turn 35 years old, which is really old...... Looking at the members of our team, 22-year-old Tyreck, 22-year-old Jimmy, 21-year-old DeMarcus, and even the oldest Caron on the team is 2 years younger than Nowitzki, the youngest of the Mavericks' core members, I really doubt that the old bones of the Mavericks will be broken up by Tyrek and them......"

Obviously, the Kings' courtside commentators, Napier and Reiz, are not optimistic that the Mavericks' aging roster can win this game.

With the end of the opening performance of the cheerleading team, the players from both sides stood on the court, jumped the ball in the middle circle, and the game officially began!

The Kings were the first to possess the ball, and Tyrek held the ball over half court to launch the Kings' first offense!

Kidd, who is opposite Tyrek, has won the first team of the best defensive team 4 times and the second team of the best defensive team 5 times, Kidd's defensive strength is undoubted, his defensive IQ is extremely high, he studies the characteristics of the opponent, card position, card foot, card route, and can always make the strong body stand in the best defensive position in advance in the game, and in last year's finals, Kidd can even switch to LeBron. James. However, although defensive experience and defensive awareness will not decline as you get older, the decline in physical function is inevitable.

Facing the 39-year-old Kidd, Tyrek commanded his teammates to pull him away from the singles, Kidd did his best to block Tyreco's breakthrough, he did predict the direction of Tyreco's breakthrough, although Kidd was strong enough, but he was 39 years old and couldn't keep up with Tyreco's starting speed, plus Kidd only had a size advantage for small guards, Tyrek was taller and stronger, and Kidd was directly passed by Tyrek in one step!

West and Cousins created inside space for Tyrek, and Tyrek made an easy layup!

"Pretty over-the-top face Jason. Kidd, Tyrek gave the Mavericks a dismount, Kidd used to be a super guard, but now that he's 39 years old, he can't keep up with Tyrek at all! "One step past the former superstar excites Napier.

The Kings have star players like Tyreck, and the Mavericks have Nowitzki!

As a well-deserved team symbol of the Mavericks, Nowitzki, who has been playing for the Mavericks in the league for 13 years, still maintains an excellent individual form in the 14th year of his career.

Nowitzki received Kidd's pass in the high post and faced West with his back to West, West, as the second oldest player on the Kings team, although not as experienced as Nowitzki, is also a full court veteran, he has played against Nowitzki on the court dozens of times, West is well aware of Nowitzki's strength, and when Nowitzki receives the ball, West, who is opposite him, maintains a high level of concentration.

Nowitzki saw that West's defense was very tight, and he chose to play strongly, with a height of 2.13 meters, so that Nowitzki had an excellent vision in the high post, Nowitzki, who was holding the ball on his back, quickly found Carter running without the ball on the outside, Nowitzki pretended to turn around and break through, and then cleverly distributed the ball to Carter on the outside, Carter, who had gradually transformed into a catch-and-shoot pitcher, made a three-point shot before Jimmy saved! Hit!

Nowitzki's beautiful offensive options, even if he has excellent individual ability, still don't make strong shots, and find teammates with better opportunities to complete the attack with excellent transfer!

Then Nowitzki showed his personal offense without dead ends on the home court of the Kings, receiving Kidd's pass at the top of the arc, facing West again, Nowitzki held the ball in the frame, made a shooting feint to affect West's center of gravity, and grabbed the left side to break through, Nowitzki, as a power forward, has first-class speed in this position, even if he is almost 34 years old, his start speed is faster than West!

West defended on Nowitzki's side, and Nowitzki didn't choose to go straight to the inside to kill, but suddenly made a sharp stop, and then stepped back to open the distance with West, and threw a backward jumper!

Nowitzki's signature Golden Rooster Independence! Hollow into the net!

All the actions are done in one go, and they are full of coherence!

This is the banner man of the Mavericks, the German tank Nowitzki! As long as the Dallas Mavericks are here, no one can despise them, no matter what situation they are in!
