Chapter Thirty-Six: Let Him Win the Data, Let Us Win the Game
In the first quarter, Zhang Zifeng played well at the beginning, shooting 4 of 6 and scoring 8 points.
But Nowitzki seemed to be hanging up, feeling off the charts, scoring 15 points in a single quarter.
Nowitzki stuck Holmes again and made a turnaround jumper, and at 30:25, the Mavericks led by five points, and Nowitzki had already scored 17 points.
Brown glanced at the big white man with flowing blond hair on the court, the inside and out power forward who had scored 17 points in the quarter.
"It's not going to go on like this, Dirk has already shot. We can't let him go crazy, then we won't be able to stop him! ”
Brown stood on the sidelines and looked at Nowitzki, frowning.
He can't be left to his legion any longer. Who will defend him?
But who will defend him?
Looking over the bench, there is simply not a proper power forward to limit the opposing team.
Smith that guy is a ticking time bomb, but now the league's good power forward has no team willing to sell it, and the short man pulls the general, so bet on him!
Otherwise, in the future, when encountering teams with top power forwards such as the Warriors, Spurs, and Clippers, Holmes and Covington, they are afraid that they will be beaten into a hornet's nest.
Brown called a timeout and called Christian Wood off the bench,
Seeing that the players were coming, Brown said, "Holmes, you take a rest, Wood, you go and keep an eye on Pachuria." Noll you go defend Nowitzki. ”
"Guys, that guy on the other side is very good, but he's already a 38-year-old veteran. Knoll I want you to try to limit him, he has to sweat a lot every time he scores a goal. Jack, you do your best to keep an eye on the others, strangle Dirk's passing lane, and let Dirk go alone. We drain this guy's stamina. By the time he ran out of stamina in the fourth season, it was time for us to counterattack! Do you understand? ”
"Yes, Coach!"
Pause back, Mavericks' offense.
Delong. Williams used to be the top point guard on par with Paul, but since falling out with Sloan's old coach and being replaced by the Jazz, Williams' state has slowly declined due to the familiar blocking and pick-and-roll tactics, coupled with the impact of injuries, Williams' performance has fluctuated greatly, and in good times, he can score 30 points and add 9 assists in one game.
But when the state is not good, the score is not double-double, and there are more turnovers than assists.
In this game, Williams was clearly out of shape, and under McConnell's defense, he didn't perform at all.
Dribbling to the frontcourt, Williams wanted to pass the ball to Nowitzki.
Knoll scrambled around the front to defend and Williams saw that it was not a good chance and passed the ball to Matthews.
Matthews received the ball on the inside, and he leaned back against Zhang Zifeng, desperately trying to arch into the penalty area.
Zhang Zifeng would not let him get his wish, standing behind him, his feet back and forth, and his right foot between his legs. The right hand was against his waist, stuck to him desperately, preventing him from easily pushing into the restricted area.
It took four or five seconds for Matthews to advance to the box, where Matthews grabbed the ball with both hands and wanted to turn around and shoot.
At this time, Zhang Zifeng couldn't use his hand against his waist anymore, otherwise it would be a foul.
Zhang Zifeng stepped forward and pressed against him with his chest.
Zhang Zifeng held his hands high, desperately squeezing the other party with his chest to put pressure on him.
Under Zhang Zifeng's squeeze, Matthews struggled to create space to shoot in the restricted area.
Matthews saw that there was no chance to shoot, and he had no choice but to pass the ball out again.
Pachulia didn't have the means to attack, Williams wasn't in good shape, and Matthews and Patchesson didn't play well under the defense of Zhang Zifeng and Grant.
The ball was passed back and forth, and finally it was passed to Nowitzki, who was pulled out.
Seeing Nowitzki with the ball, the Dallas Mavericks players immediately calmed down.
Because this German tank has always been the most stable and reliable scorer in their hearts, his Golden Rooster Independence is also the league's unsolvable offensive means.
In the last 10 minutes, Nowitzki has proven that on the pitch.
So, when they saw Nowitzki get the ball, they immediately walked away and created space for him.
There was little time left to attack, and there was no other option.
Nowitzki made a cross-dribble with the ball, then took a big step forward and put his back on Noll.
Nowitzki then dribbled backwards a few times and suddenly turned sharply.
Noll thought Novitzki was going to use his trademark golden rooster independent jumper again, and hurried forward.
But to Noll's surprise, Nowitzki made a beautiful turn and dribble, shook off Noll, and made a layup in the restricted area.
A series of actions flowed smoothly, making the Wells Fargo Center Arena resounded with exclamations.
Even Bryn, who was sitting on the podium, laughed and shouted, "Dirk told all opponents with a wonderful turning layup, don't think that I can only shoot!" ”
Seeing Nowitzki's sudden turn to the basket, he deceived himself. Knoll was a little helpless, and he was ready to do his best to interfere with his step-back jumper.
I didn't expect him to make a layup.
Zhang Zifeng saw the past and comforted Noor. "It doesn't matter, you just have to consume him with your heart. Let him win the data, and we win the game! ”
Knoll said helplessly, "Jack, I'm fine. I've come to terms with the fact that I've been blown up. Don't worry, I'll try my best to defend him in the future! ”
"Hmmm! Let's go, now let's go and chase the points back. Zhang Zifeng slapped Noel's ass and ran to the front.
McConaughey dribbled to the front court and handed the ball to Zhang Zifeng.
Noll pulled out to cover, but Nolski knew that Zhang Zifeng's hand was hot, and he didn't dare to let Zhang Zifeng shoot easily, so he hurriedly pounced to make up for the defense.
After Zhang Zifeng shook off Matthews, he faced Nowitzki directly.
Zhang Zifeng dribbled the ball under his crotch quickly in succession, and then suddenly accelerated, stopped sharply, changed direction, and rushed to the penalty area.
Nowitzki was in hot pursuit, and Pachulia also dropped Wood at this time and rushed over.
With Pachulia in front and Nowitzki in the back, as soon as Zhang Zifeng entered the penalty area, he immediately made a pass from behind, and the ball hit the floor and bounced back into the hands of Noll, who was following him.
Noll received the ball, jumped up and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.
was scored by Nowitzki in a row, although he knew that this was a tactical arrangement, Knoll was also very unhappy.
This dunk Knoll is with a belly of anger.
The entire basketball hoop shook as Knoll pulled hard.
When he hit the ground, Noel hammered his chest hard and let out a roar.
Seeing Knoll's domineering response, the 76ers fans in the Wells Fargo Center Arena couldn't help but chant.
"Come on, Knorr. Kill that old chariot, I'm sure you can do it! ”
"Beat him, Knorr!"
Although the ball was very relieving, it still couldn't change the fact that Noll was blown up by Nowitzki.
Parsons responded with a 3-pointer, and then Nowitzki drew a foul on Knoll and made both free throws to give the Mavericks a 10-point lead.
At the last moment, Zhang Zifeng hit a three-pointer and led the team to recover 5 points.
With the 76ers trailing by five points at 32-37 at the end of the first quarter, Nowitzki scored 21 points in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Nowitzki continued to maintain a good hand, leading the Mavericks to a three-point lead at 57:54, and Nowitzki scored nine points in the quarter.
In the third quarter, both teams felt a dip, and the Mavericks continued to lead 68-65. Nowitzki scored seven points in the quarter.
At the beginning of the final quarter, Barria and Nowitzki each hit three-pointers, and the 76ers were no slouch, Zhang Zifeng scored two layups, and McConnell made three points, leading the team to fight back by nine points, and the 76ers chased it to a 74-all.
With 9 minutes left in the game, the two sides are tied 74.
Brin shouted, "It's the final quarter of the game, and the 76ers have a big comeback in this quarter!" They had just equalised and now there were only nine minutes left. Once again, the two teams are back on the same page. Now that the Mavericks have the ball, Nowitzki, who has played so well today, is ready to attack again! Can the 76ers guard against Nowitzki? Let's wait and see! ”
Nowitzki scanned the court with the ball in hand, and his teammates had pulled away from the other opponents. Now it's still his own singles Noel.
Nowitzki hit his back twice, turned around suddenly, and stuck Noll near the inside line!
Noel still stuck to Nowitzki, trying to interfere with him as best he could.
Nowitzki took two steps inside with Noll on his shoulder, then suddenly took a step back and jumped up to shoot.
Noll flew up with an outstretched arm, trying to cover Nowitzki.
The basketball flew out of Nowitzki's palm and towards the basket!
"It's covered!"
Noll actually blocked Nowitzki's shot!
Although Nolgai dropped Nowitzki, the 76ers players were stunned for a moment, and they didn't grab the ball at the first time, allowing Nowitzki to grab the ball first.
But Zhang Zifeng found that Nowitzki's movements had obviously become a little sluggish, and his jump was not as good as in the first half.
This guy is finally tired!
