Chapter 674 Dirk Nowitzki
The Mavericks ushered in a rising year this year, Dirk Nowitzki's performance this year can be called MVP-level, and the Mavericks' record is also among the best, if it weren't for the division, their ranking would definitely be higher, just because he was in the Southwest Division, and the leader of their division was the Spurs, so they could only settle for second place in the division, which led to their overall ranking in the Western Conference was not high, but it didn't matter, their winning percentage was the second team in the West.

At present, the Mavericks' lineup is still very good, in addition to Dirk Nowitzki, they also have first-class shooters and defenders, coupled with Dirk Nowitzki's MVP-level data, the Mavericks are currently in very good shape, and have won 6 consecutive wins, including many Western powerhouses, like the Suns, and the supersonic team playoff players.
And the state of the Pistons is even better, so this game is destined to be a strong matchup, but because the Mavericks are not as concerned as the Pistons, the attention of this game is not as high as the Pistons vs. Spurs, and even less than the Pistons vs. Heat.
But even so, Larry Brown also attaches great importance to this game, and he also has the Pistons players practice hard, so they are in good shape, so this game can be watched.
The Pistons went through two days of careful preparation, and this careful preparation is not just talking, Larry Brown not only practiced more, but also watched the Mavericks' previous game videos together, and even asked Chauncey Billups to discuss the tactics to be used in this game.
After another three hours of tossing, the game is finally about to start, the Pistons' home arena is still very lively, this season's Pistons are so happy, their enthusiasm is also very high, they take any game of the Pistons very seriously, just like the Finals.
Before the game started, the atmosphere was enthusiastic, and Osborne also felt that it was really happy to live in such an environment, and he secretly vowed in his heart: I will definitely bring more glory to the Pistons, after all, the fans and spectators here really support them, and it is also a happiness to be supported.
The Mavericks players also walked into such a noisy Auburn Hills Palace arena, and they all felt that the atmosphere in the Pistons' home arena was really annoying, and they had been interfering with the Mavericks' normal warm-up training before the game started, which was really infuriating.
After a period of grinding, the game is finally about to start, Larry Brown sent his most proud starting five tigers, and the Mavericks also sent their strongest lineup, center Josh Howard, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, small forward Jerry Stark House, scoring guard Marquis Daniels, point guard Jason Terry, it stands to reason that the Mavericks' roster has also been weakened, but fortunately, Dirk Nowitzki's strong rise makes up for this shortcoming, and their lineup thickness is also very good.
At the beginning of the game, Josh Howard grabbed the basketball on Ben Wallace's head, and the Pistons seemed to be used to Ben Wallace's lost balls, so they all directly withdrew to defend the fast break of the Mavericks players.
Jason Terry couldn't play the raid, so he had to go and hand over the basketball to Dirk Nowitzki, who was the leader of the Mavericks and the main scorer, and he didn't feel any pressure at all in the face of Rashid Wallace's defense, and he directly solved the battle with his best Golden Rooster independent tactics.
Dirk Nowitzki hit a three-pointer in front of Rasheed Wallace, who didn't expect Dirk Nowitzki to give him a kick in the first place.
Osborne felt that Dirk Nowitzki was also very positive, and he also responded by throwing a fast and steady three-pointer directly under the defense of Marquis Daniels, who was also very serious about defending Osborne, but Osborne also took advantage of a three-pointer one step away from the three-point line in advance.
Dirk Nowitzki saw that Osborne was still so arrogant and domineering, and he also had the idea of competition, and Dirk Nowitzki was also deliberately playing in the ring with Osborne, and Osborne obviously felt such an atmosphere, so he would never back down.
Rashid Wallace was very angry when he saw Dirk Nowitzki get so many points in front of him, and Rasheed Wallace even said to Dirk Nowitzki: "Softie, no matter how much you shoot, you can't make up for the fact that you are a softie, you are an authentic interior player, but you always shoot there like an outside player, you are really a loser of inside players." ”
Rasheed Wallace's words obviously annoyed Dirk Nowitzki, who replied: "Don't be complacent, no matter how I score, as long as I put a basketball in the basket is a good ball, so I don't agree with you, and you are not qualified to teach me how to play, because you can't stop me at all." ”
After saying that, Dirk Nowitzki made another three-point shot, completely ignoring Rasheed Wallace's defense, and after Dirk Nowitzki made this shot, his aerial duel with Osborne was formed. Dirk Nowitzki seems to feel that he and Osborne are still in the three-point contest, the two of them are facing each other on the court, Dirk Nowitzki's shooting hand is very hot today, and his three-point shooting percentage is higher than Osborne's.
Dirk Nowitzki and Osborne just played a game of basketball, and they both competed with each other, but sometimes when they met together, Osborne said to Dirk Nowitzki: "Dirk, you are really a difficult guy, but I will not lose to you, my credo in life is to win, and never let others scream in front of me." ”
Dirk Nowitzki listened to a lot of trash talk in front of Rasheed Wallace, and his level was much higher than Osborne's, so he can now also not speak, not speak, and answer directly with his own offense, the Pistons trailed the Mavericks by 2 points at 30:32 at the end of the first quarter, Osborne made 10 shots, 5 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 15 points, while Dirk Nowitzki made 11 shots and hit 6 shots, including 5 three-pointers, his score was 17 points, and Osborne was in a downside position.
