Chapter 324: The old man chatted about juvenile madness
After a modest game, the next day, it was back-to-back to challenge the Mavericks, who were also in Texas, and this was the second meeting between the two teams this season, and the first meeting was won by the Spurs very easily because the Mavericks were full of injuries.
However, judging from the record from the beginning of the season to the present, the Mavericks are very likely to become the league's fish belly team, basically from the playoffs of the previous season The team fell to the same level as the Nets, the team's soul Nowitzki is nearly 40 years old, it is already the end of his career, the body parts have aged, and now the waist is almost unable to bend, and the newly signed Harrison Barnes, who was still the fifth man of the Warriors last season, wants to carry the team immediately It is unrealistic. After all, his role has become more important in the Mavericks, and in order to adapt to the new role, he needs to accumulate a lot of experience, and the technical aspects need to continue to be polished in the game.
Among the rest, only Matthews still has some combat effectiveness, but age and Achilles tendon injuries make Matthews destined to be just a wing player with a single skill, stable, but unable to take charge on his own.
The Mavericks are now in an embarrassing period of inactivity, with a weak guard line and an aging interior line, so don't expect this season for Cuban, and plan the offseason as early as possible.
When the Spurs came to the American Airlines Center, they didn't expect the attendance rate of the Mavericks to be good today, far better than the last game, it is estimated that because of the relationship between Lei Shui, many fans hold up the name of Lei Shui, and there are many fans who wear Spurs jerseys.
According to the usual style of old man Bobo, today's back-to-back, still arranged to rest, today is the rotation of Gasol on the inside and Parker on the outside, and Thunder Water wants to take the position of starting point guard.
The Mavericks' injury problems have eased this time, starting: center Bogut, power forward Nowitzki, small forward Barnes, point guard Matthews, and point guard Delon.
Spurs starters: center Dedmon, power forward Ade, small forward Leonard, point guard Green, point guard Thunderwater.
At the beginning of the game, the Spurs got the ball first, Ade played against Nowitzki, Nowitzki was limited by physical reasons, and his defensive ability was now a little better than the stake, and Lei Shui signaled to Adella to play a single.
But Ade did not use a more flexible style of play, but stood on the pile back to play, which is no better for Nowitzki, the legs and feet are not flexible, and the defense can't keep up.
In the face of Nowitzki's defense, Ade missed two consecutive comebacks, but the Mavericks also failed to hit, and both teams started with frequent iron.
When the Spurs attacked again, Lei Shui knew that Ade missed twice and couldn't play this anymore, and he needed to change it, although Lei Shui himself faced DeLong, it was also a good offensive choice, but the old man Bobo explained that today's point guard should first be to mobilize the whole team as the first task, and not to occupy too much of the ball, Lei Shui glanced at it and signaled Leonard to receive the ball.
Leonard slipped around the inside line, came out to catch the ball through the cover, with experience, lightly, clicked Barnes to break through, Delon made up for the defense, Leonard gave the ball to Lei Shui, Lei Shui this time the big vacancy, a long shot two points, and got the team's first point.
But immediately after, Matthews responded with a 2-pointer.
Although the Mavericks are also actively cooperating, they can only play a small range of simple 2-person cooperation, and more is prone to errors, so the efficiency is slightly lower.
Just when the Spurs gradually stretched the difference to 6 points, Nowitzki waited for the opportunity, after a baseline free throw, Nowitzki fell last, slowly running to the frontcourt, Ade basically got to the basket early, and Nowitzki just crossed the halfway line, just when Nowitzki was about to run to the three-point line, Deron threw the ball to Nowitzki, Ade was three steps away from Nowitzki, seeing Nowitzki's posture of receiving the ball, he knew that he was going to shoot, and quickly pounced out, but it was too late, Nowitzki's standard Norvisky-style jumper, with a soft shake of the wrist, the ball flew high, and his hand still maintained the posture of an orchid finger, Lei Shui This is the first time to watch Nowitzki's shot on the spot, the arc is really high, and the shot gives people the feeling of going in, 'Hmph!' With a comfortable sound of brushing the net, the three-point shot was scored.
An ordinary three-point shot, but it aroused the cheers of many fans, which shows how much Mavericks fans love Nowitzki.
Spurs attacked, Lei Shui made a gesture to Ade, a ball in return, Ade understood what Lei Shui meant, stepped forward and Lei Shui blocked, Lei Shui took advantage of the momentum to break through, Ard stayed outside the three-point line and waited, Thunder Shui threw the ball back, Ard received the ball, Nowitzki quickly turned around and staggered to Ade, rushed up and struggled to jump up to the height of two matchboxes, the bounce degraded he could only use the posture to defend, but Ade's three points were off, and Bogut won the rebound.
Bogut is a player who has been in the Warriors, and he habitually looks at whether there is a fast break when he takes the rebound, and when he looks up, he sees Nowitzki rushing in front and decisively making a long pass, although Nowitzki is running at the front, he knows that he has no speed, and he slows down and retreats to the side after running two steps to see if there are any teammates to answer.
Nowitzki saw that it was Matthews who was following behind him, immediately passed the ball, Matthews picked up the ball and started, Lei Shui chased back and jumped high to block, Matthews saw that Thunder Water covered the sky, and immediately turned around to give the ball to DeLong who followed in the back row, Delong found that Lei Shui quickly turned around and was about to jump off the block again, and turned around and threw the ball to Nowitzki outside the three-point line. Immediately another three-pointer.
Nowitzki's two consecutive three-pointers made Nowitzki very excited, patting his chest and opening his hands to the cheering fans.
Both defenses obviously ignored Nowitzki's existence, and this time he was taught to be a man: your uncle is still your uncle!
'Beep! Beep! 'Crisp whistle, pause! Bobo's old man beat his chest on the sidelines angrily! After being taught to be a man by the uncle, he was sprayed by the old man immediately afterward.
Sure enough, the old man Bobo was very dissatisfied with Ade's defensive awareness, and yelled at Ade: "Can't you see a 7-foot man with the most accurate shooting in history playing on the court!?" How are you in the right bit!? You just threw him off the three-point line and didn't ask!? …”
After a hard beating, Ade was pressed to the bench for reflection, and David Lee came off the bench.
After the timeout, Lei Shui reorganized, and in response to the weakness of the Mavericks' poor interior movement, he frequently blocked and dismantled with David Lee into the interior, attracted the defense, pulled one side, and gave Leonard a lot of opportunities to rush to the basket.
At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs led the Mavericks by 7 points 29-22, and the Thunder Water scored 7 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists, and 0 turnovers, completing the organizational task well.
Nowitzki was a teenager who scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist, taking advantage of the power forward position.
