Chapter 721: A small lineup wins

The small lineup came on, the Bobcats had the ball, and Chris Paul controlled the ball.

Controlled to the front court and directly accelerated the attack, Andre Iguodala gave a bit of a moving cover suspicious block, and after the disassembly, Paul was directly caught by the Mavericks.

Paul split the ball, Iguodala received the ball, and the outside line did not shoot directly, but continued to break through.

Eric Dampier had to defend and Kevin Garnett went inside from the other side and quickly received a ground-hitting pass from Andre Iguodala.

At this point, Josh Howard, who was defending on the weak side, had to recycle to the basket in the middle, but Garnett used a quick throw to find Danny Granger in the bottom corner.

The Bobcats attacked very quickly, but at the same time lost patience.

Danny Granger in the bottom corner received the ball, and there was already a lot of openness in front of him, and in the face of an absolutely large open opportunity, he jumped straight away.

Swish!

After a crisp sound of wiping the net, the Time Warner Center rang out with frantic cheers.

"Danny Granger hit a crucial three-pointer, the Bobcats' quick offense paid off, and now, the margin has widened to nine points, and with 4:28 left in the game, it's a dangerous game for the Dallas!"

"They have to score as soon as possible!"

The Mavericks' offense hit the frontcourt, they played a little anxiously, the ball was given to Dirk Nowitzki, and at the critical moment, they believed that Nowitzki was still their most consistent scoring point.

The king singled out Garnett in the middle distance on the right side, and the other players all pulled away.

In a one-on-one situation, the king couldn't shake Garnett's defensive center of gravity at all, so, after controlling it for five or six seconds, the king glanced at the position of the basket, and then turned around directly, picked up an iconic golden rooster independence, and forced a shot.

Kevin Garnett jumped up at the same time, stretched out his long arms, and landed directly on top of Nowitzki's head.

Swish!

The crisp sound of wiping the net still sounded, and there was a sigh of regret in the Time Warner Center, Nowitzki's strong shooting ability is still too strong!

Even Garnett can't guarantee 100% death-proof Nowitzki.

"Dirk hit a crucial two-pointer, and the margin was narrowed to seven points, and the Mavericks still had a chance."

In the last 4 minutes and 10 seconds, the Bobcats served in the backcourt.

Chris Paul still rushed to the front court quickly, and then picked up speed again.

The outside line was connected to a cover by Kevin Garnett, and Paul went directly to the inside, and the two shooters on the flanks pulled away, leaving only Dampier in the frame on the inside.

Paul picked up the speed and passed Dampier in one step, and then faced an empty basket, and he raised his hand to make a throw, and hit it accurately.

Chris Paul scored a layup, and the margin widened to nine points.

It's a 9-point difference again, and for the Mavericks, at this time they not only have to chase the points, but also have to control the difference within 10 points, once the score difference is stretched to double digits, the Mavericks will be cold in this game.

Therefore, for the Mavericks, the next offensive round is very important.

The ball continued to get to Dirk Nowitzki, and as in the previous offensive round, Kevin Garnett faced Nowitzki, and Nowitzki's movement became difficult because he was completely stuck to death by Garnett.

So for this ball, Nowitzki can only choose to shoot strongly.

This time, Garnett's interference is still in place, and Nowitzki's strong throw or not can only depend on providence.

With a bang, the basketball hit the edge of the hoop and eventually bounced out, and the Time Warner Center rang out with cheers.

"Dek Nowitzki's key shot, or a strong shot, didn't go in!"

Rebounding became important, there were all kinds of shouts in the court, everyone was aiming for the rebound, and the Bobcats were on a small lineup with no advantage on the inside.

But Qiao Hai was already prepared, and he asked all the players on the court to rush for rebounds.

Chris Paul rushed inside, judged the weakness of the rebound, and successfully grabbed the rebound.

He turned his head and launched a counterattack, rushing towards the front.

On the sidelines, Avery Johnson was suddenly very anxious, standing on the sidelines and shouting frantically: "Retreat!" Retreat! ”

But the Bobcats' counter-attack was already in place, with a 5-on-3 straight up front, with Nowitzki and Eric Dampier coming in at last.

The Bobcats naturally seized the opportunity to counterattack, and Paul drew all of the Mavericks' defense to the middle, and after the ball was split on one side, Michael Reed made a three-point shot with a big open position.

Bang! The cheers at the Time Warner Center poured in like a tidal wave.

"Critical rebounds, critical counterattacks, critical three-pointers!"

"The difference has reached 12 points, and in the last 3 minutes and 40 seconds, the Mavericks' chances are already very small!"

Basically, the game reached this time period, trailing by 12 points, and the commentator had already sentenced the Mavericks to death.

However, Avery Johnson decided to struggle a little more, and instead of taking a timeout, no substitution, or returning to his seat, he stood on the sidelines and supervised the game.

The Mavericks played another round of offense, and it was still Dirk Nowitzki in the mid-range position who took the ball, and he still made a strong shot.

Bang, and it didn't go in again.

The Bobcats grabbed the backcourt rebound again, counterattacked to the frontcourt, and scored two more points, and the difference was further widened.

Avery Johnson sat back, although there was no intention of giving up the game directly with substitutions, but Avery Johnson's action was actually obvious, and in this game, the Mavericks had already given up.

However, the score difference is not very big, so at the last moment, the Mavericks are still the main force on the field, there are no substitutions, and they have to use the main force to finish this game.

On the Bobcats' side, Qiao Hai made the first substitution, he called Josh Smith and Kendrick Perkins from the bench, and directly replaced Michael Reed and Kevin Garnett.

One is a vulnerable physique, and the other is a 30-year-old veteran, Qiao Hai still has to protect these two people to avoid injuries due to too much fatigue.

In the last three minutes, with the Bobcats defending solidly, the two teams almost played to a draw.

In the end, the Bobcats defeated the Mavericks 115-102 and won their tenth consecutive game of the season!

"The Bobcats won the battle of the spotlight, and in the last five minutes of the game, although they were ahead, the lead was not big, but at the last moment, Qiao Hai changed to a small lineup and won in a wave."

"This season, the use rate of the Bobcats' small lineup has been greatly reduced, and Qiao Hai will use their small lineup more at critical moments, and through the running, speed and physical advantages of the small lineup, they can get a situation advantage in a short period of time, so as to win the game."

"And this game was like that, the Bobcats took a double-digit lead with the fastest speed, and directly ended the suspense of this game."
