On December 7, 1997, at the American Airline Center Arena, Dallas ushered in a powerful rocket.

This year's Mavericks have had a terrible record, and the team is now 4-11.

Mavericks head coach Jim Clemens was overwhelmed.

And Mavericks' management has lost faith in Jim Clemens.

Mavericks management has appointed Nelson Sr. as general manager.

The idea of changing the head coach is already very obvious.

It is rumored that the main players of the team, Finley, Sean Bradley, and Hugh Bot Davis, have all said that they are not aware.

Just before the game against the Rockets began, Jim Clemens received a notice from Mavericks management.

He will be relieved of his role as head coach after this game.

Although, already mentally prepared, Jim Clemens is still very sad.

He said to the players in the dressing room who had been fighting him for a year: "Guys, I'm leaving tomorrow. ”

There was silence in the dressing room.

"I know, I've had terrible results, you're all very good players, you're talented, I'm not good enough to bring out your talent, Nelson Sr. is a good coach and I want you to develop under him. But if you want Nelson Sr. to notice you, then you have to show your talent, and today you all have a great opportunity, we have the strongest Rockets in the league, and if you can beat them, then I think Nelson Sr. will definitely notice you, do well, for yourself and for me, because I don't want to leave the Mavericks with a defeat, please. With that, Clemens stepped forward and gave his Mavericks a deep bow.

"Coach, don't worry, even if it's for ourselves, we have to work hard." Michael Finley stepped forward and hugged his coach Clemens.

"Yes, coach, don't worry."

The calves said in unison.

"Alright, brothers, let's go meet the guys who are number one in the league." Hugh Bot Davis shouted to his teammates

"Good"

The Mavericks are all in high spirits.

After the start of the game, the calf was like a rainbow.

Michael Finley scored back-to-back points under Horry's defense.

Under the instigation of Storeyclan, the Mavericks' offense was very fluid.

The Mavericks played a very delicate match.

Storerickland holds the ball and instigates the attack.

A very dexterous disguise in front of the body overwhelmed a position of Mark Jackson.

With a small step, it invaded the paint area of the rocket like a spirit snake.

Horry stepped forward to intercept and Storichland passed.

The ball was passed from Horry's step, and Michael Finley behind him received the ball and went straight to the basket.

Big Dream and Garnett are very aware of Finley's power, Big Dream blocked in the last period, and Garnett assisted in defense.

And at this time, Bradley was already empty.

I have to say that Finley's vision is still good.

With a flick of his wrist, the ball passed out against Da Meng's waist.

Bradley looked at Horry, who had already made up the defense, smiled slightly, and raised his hand.

Storeyclan, who had already passed the ball just now, walked in from the baseline in a half circle and watched the ball come over.

As soon as the body tensed, the legs exerted force, and the body was already in the air.

Grabbing the ball with one hand is a one-handed split.

A series of dazzling cooperation, dazzling.

At this time, the old Nelson, who was already watching the Mavericks game in the audience, also nodded.

Such a wonderful cooperation, that requires full tacit understanding.

It seems that these players of the Mavericks are still in good shape.

This wonderful cooperation completely detonated the center arena of the route, and the cheers of the Mavericks fans and the performance of the Mavericks cheerleaders made people's blood boil.

Storichland, who had always been silent, also raised his fists and roared loudly.

Looking at the little calf who was already a little crazy today, the rocket seemed very calm.

Mark Jackson calmly controlled the ball and slowly pushed it towards the Mavericks' halfcourt.

The ball is still very stable to the big dream inside, and Sean Bradley, who is known as the bamboo pole, is not the opponent of the big dream at all.

Although, with a height of 2.29 meters, it occupies a certain space advantage, but in the face of the endless changes of the big dream, he can only watch the basketball being thrown into the basket.

The Rockets calmly returned the ball.

The aggressive momentum of the calf today makes people's hearts palpitate.

However, the Rocket's quiet performance let everyone know what the Mavericks have to do if they want to defeat the Rocket.

Even the old Nelson, who watched the game in the audience, was not only impressed by the temperament of the rocket.

Because in his coaching career, there are several teams that have performed like this.

And those teams all dominate the league's giants, and the Rockets already have such potential.

The first quarter ended with the Rockets and Mavericks tied 25-25.

The attacking calf attacked like a stormy wave, and failed to defeat the rocket from beginning to end.

The calmness of the rocket, which is like a mountain, always makes the calf feel great pressure.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Rockets still replaced the bench players and the Mavericks.

Looking at the young coaches on the field, the old Nelson's eyes were even hotter.

Bodi Roga's atmosphere, Ray Allen's aura, Big Ben's tough defense, and Shanton Anderson's bravery.

One by one, such an excellent young man is even more lamented that the Rocket boss and general manager and the Rocket scout are first-class.

However, the elder Nelson admires Bodi Roga the most.

He is simply a representative of his own kind of organization forward, reasonable ball-sharing, accurate shooting, and can be inside and out.

It's literally made for himself as a ball-handling striker.

Watching his teammates move on the field, passing beautiful assists, leading the most energetic play.

I want to get this player.

After recording Bodi Roga's performance, Nelson Sr. continued to observe the way the Rockets' bench lineup played.

But the more I look at it, the more frightened I become, the rockets with Garnett, Bodi Roga, and Ray Allen as the core have gradually taken shape.

In front of a Mavericks who were like chickens, these three people were not flustered.

Still organize the team's offense in an orderly manner, watching the rocket's accurate passes again and again, and the empty cut after covering without the ball.

The center makes the wall and covers the pitcher's open space.

After the pick-and-roll, the inside cut of the power forward.

All of this bodes well for this team and a bright future.

After seeing all this, the elder Nelson took a deep breath, and then marked a big emphasis on the back of Team Rocket in his notebook.

With the end of the second quarter, the Rockets' benches tied the Mavericks again.

52：52

The Rockets are still the same sense of honor and disgrace.

The Mavericks players, after two quarters of excitement, have a downward trend in all aspects such as physical strength and spirit.

After an intermission.

The crazy momentum of the calf is soaring again.

The third quarter of the game relied on Finley's 10 points in a single quarter, and the Mavericks finally exceeded the score by 3 points.

79：76

The Mavericks' players worked hard for three full quarters to pull the score away by three points.

However, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, a three-pointer by Ray Allen equalized the score in the second place.

In this way, the twins began a tense tug-of-war.

The two sides kept drawing and then led by 2 points.

And then equalize.

In such a game, the Rocket's strong self-confidence prevailed, the kind of temperament honed in countless vicious battles.

has been suppressing the calf to the death.

Until the final 22.6 seconds of the race.

Big Dream lays up and is pulled down directly by AC Green.

Looking at the timer that was about to be cleared, Da Meng steadily hit the ball in the Mavericks fans, amid the tsunami-like noise.

108：106

The Rockets put the score in the final moments.

There was a dead silence on the Mavericks' home court.

And the Mavericks' players all showed disappointed expressions one by one.

Could it be that if you work hard for the whole game, you will lose?

The Mavericks' players are really disappointed and desperate.

Looking at the desperate players on the field, Jim Clemens just sat blankly off the field.

He muttered to himself, "I'm still losing, I'm still losing." ”

Finley stopped the game in time, ran back to the bench and asked Clemens, "What are we going to do, Coach." ”

The players on the Mavericks court are all looking at this guy who will lose his qualification as head coach tomorrow.

However, the Mavericks players heard it.

"yes, what are we going to do, what do you say we should do." The sluggish Jim Clemens said to his players.

The Mavericks players are in complete despair.

Everyone sighed, we still lost.

At this time, a voice came.

"Why don't you set up tactics, don't we have 22 seconds, you know what you can do in 22 seconds, you still have a chance to attack, you have every chance to kill the opponent, you are a professional player, in the NBA like this" In the 400-man club, how much worse are you than them, look at the boys, I will draw you the tactics to run for the last attack, play according to this tactic, you win if you win, you beat the first team in the league, lose and go home and sleep, tomorrow the sun will rise as usual. The Mavericks looked up and saw that it was old Nelson, shaking his gray hair and screaming at them.

Everyone who has returned to his senses listened carefully to the final tactic.

I can't help but feel that such a new head coach is still very good.

The Mavericks' last attack, time is running out.

Storerickland was firmly in control of the ball, trying to recall the tactical runs Nelson Sr. had just drawn.

AC Green, who was on the inside, quickly stepped up to block Mark Jackson.

In a split second, Storey Creekland burst into the paint zone.

And Finley, on the other side, also burst in with a sudden acceleration.

The two pressed the rocket's defense line inward.

The Rockets already have four people drawn to the interior.

Only Ray Allen was still floating outside.

The ball was passed to the perimeter and Khaled Rivers received it, a very good pitcher.

Ray Allen had pounced.

Unfortunately, the last killer is not him.

The ball was passed to Hubert Davis in the open space and shot.

Time is running out.

This one goal decided the outcome of the game.

"Bang"

The ball bounced off the neck of the basket and flew out.

It may be nervous, or it may be a little more powerful when it comes to shooting.

Hugh Bot Davis missed his last chance.

108：106

The Rockets defeated the crazy Mavericks in Dallas.

A losing farewell match for the departing coach Jim Clemens.

It also gave Nelson Sr., who is about to coach the Mavericks, a losing welcome game.

In the post-match press conference, Garnett was asked how he felt about the game.

Garnett smiled silently and said, "Maverick? The taste is very good. ”

The Rockets are 15-1 and lead the league.
