Chapter 253: 360° Turn Dunk (2/3)
Seeing the rise of Nowitzki's play, head coach Carlisle simply let the "German tank" play the first quarter for 12 minutes!
Maybe it's because of the Boston fans cheering on the court, and because of the many Boston celebrities he came, Nowitzki also played the court, and the Mavericks players also admired the team boss who played for the Mavericks for life, and they were willing to make a wedding dress for Nowitzki in the first quarter!
Even when faced with an opportunity for an empty basket after the break, Harrison Barnes was willing to pass the ball out again to the boss to shoot when he saw Nowitzki appearing in the open space. Pen ~ fun ~ www.biquge.info and Deron Williams and Nowitzki's skillful blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, almost every time will talk about the ball and pass it back to Nowitzki's hands.
In this atmosphere where everyone is scrambling to send the ball first, Nowitzki made 12 shots in the first 12 minutes of the first quarter, hitting 8 of them, including 2 3-pointers, and 4 of all 4 free throws! 22 points in a single quarter!
In the face of Nowitzki's ultra-high shooting percentage, Amir Johnson, who struggled to defend, received two fouls early, and Jerebko, who was substituted on the court, also took two fouls.
In the first quarter, the Mavericks were on par with the Celtics at home, with the two sides ending the first quarter 30-31, and the Celtics at home relied on their overall strength to lead by a narrow margin.
After the end of the first quarter, Nowitzki took the towel handed by the team staff, sat on the bench panting, smiled and received high-fives from his teammates, 22 points in a single quarter, even if a player is in the year of playing, he may not be able to play! Not to mention a veteran who is nearly 40 years old!
Since Nowitzki had almost overdrawn half of the game's playing time, Carlisle put Nowitzki on the bench in the second quarter due to health considerations, and did not care about the "we want Dirk" cries all over the scene!
When the camera focused on Nowitzki, the German superstar, who seemed to have the face of a big boy, also had a touching smile on his face!
The game continued, after Nowitzki went off the court, Barnes began to become the main offensive point on the court, this season's Barnes, compared with last season's performance, but the efficiency has not improved substantially, averaging 22.3 points per game, barely exceeding last season's 21.9 points, but the shooting rate is only 42%, three-point shooting rate is only 32%, and it is far from a qualified leader.
In the first quarter, under Nowitzki's explosive aura, Ye Hai scored 6 points quietly. In the first quarter, Horford also seemed to be more motivated by the continuous scoring of Nowitzki, who was also an interior player, and also scored 12 points and grabbed 6 rebounds in the first quarter, becoming Boston's main scoring point in the first quarter.
But in the second quarter, under the attack of Barnes, Ye Hai began to be stimulated, and the two began to have a direct conversation.
Barnes's breakthrough speed is fast, but Ye Hai is faster, Barnes's bounce is strong, but Ye Hai is more vigorous, in terms of physical fitness, Barnes seems to be slightly worse than Ye Hai in every indicator. In this case, the unstable shooting characteristics of Barnes, who relies on his body to eat, are infinitely amplified under Ye Hai's alignment, and Ye Hai constantly uses his arsenal to attack opponents.
The play between the two began to show obvious contrast with Ye Hai's continuous and stable scoring, the same 5 shots, Ye Hai hit 4 goals in the second quarter, Barnes only hit 2 goals, and they all broke through to score layups, Ye Hai's 4 balls include jump shots, breakthroughs, layups, dunks, and scoring means are very rich.
Under the direct dialogue between the team's two scorers, Ye Hai won the victory, and the Boston Celtics also pulled the score away in the second quarter.
This time in the face of Deron Williams, Paul did not have any softness, and in the first half he cut a double-double of 10 points and 10 assists, Williams only scored 4 points and 4 assists, and seemed to be paying off the debt for what he did to Paul before!
In the second half, Nowitzki played again for about 6 minutes in the first half of the quarter, and was replaced by Carlisle, who strictly controlled his playing time, and did not play again after that, and Nowitzki, who came on the court after the break, felt far worse in the second half than in the first quarter, and was replaced by Dwight Powell after contributing 2 points and 1 rebound on 1-of-5 shooting. In this last visit to Boston, he played 18 minutes and scored 24 points and 4 rebounds efficiently (your uncle will always be your uncle).
But the starlight of the court was not robbed of Nowitzki's flash, Ye Hai, who performed well in the second half, once again stole the limelight of the players in the game, in the middle of the third quarter of the second half, Ye Hai stole Barria's breakthrough dribble and quickly attacked quickly, only Harrison Barnes was back on defense at the moment, and these two opposing players formed a complete 1v1 situation in this fast attack!
Barnes, who was almost suppressed by Ye Hai in the second quarter, was very unconvinced, the other party was just a hairy boy from China, and he could confront himself who aspired to become the new leader of the Mavericks, this situation should not happen!
So at the beginning of the third quarter, Barnes held back his strength, secretly compared with Ye Hai, and strengthened the defense against Ye Hai, even if he would rather let other Boston players score, he had to limit Ye Hai.
In this case, Ye Hai did not play very comfortably at the beginning of the third quarter, although he relied on passing to contribute 2 assists, but in the face of the opponent's defense, he could not score, this is not Ye Hai's court rules!
Finally this time, Ye Hai found an opportunity to vent. As Ye Haihai rushed to the free throw line, Barnes also rushed from the other side, and the two jumped almost at the same time, rushing to the basket at the same time in two intersecting straight directions!
This time, Barnes was determined to give Ye Hai a little color, and roared to cover the basketball in Ye Hai's hand with one hand! In the face of Barnes's aggressive defense, Ye Hai held the ball in his arms very flexibly, and then under the gaze of the audience, he made a 360° turn in the air!
Seeing that Ye Hai held the ball in his arms and used the turn to evade his own defense in the air, Barnes, who staggered with Ye Hai in the air, didn't believe that Ye Hai could complete the shot after making this kind of action in this situation! In Barnes's mind, after making such a move that requires dexterity under such a violent run, it is already very difficult to maintain his center of gravity, and it is impossible to complete the shot!
But Ye Hai once again did what stunned everyone, in the air holding the basketball to rotate 360 degrees to avoid Barnes's defense, after staggering in the air, Ye Hai, who controlled his body very well, took the ball out of his chest, and used the ball in one hand to use his anti-sky air to stretch his body, and use the centripetal force of rotation to dunk the ball directly to the basket!
In the surprised eyes of everyone, the basketball in Ye Hai's hand was slammed into the basket with a "boom" sound! This dunk is the perfect combination of violence and agility!
When Barnes saw Ye Hai's goal, he couldn't help but feel ashen, because he knew that he would never be able to complete such an action!
Nowitzki, who was sitting on the field, looked at Ye Hai in surprise and thought: "I originally thought he was just a young Chinese player who played well, but I didn't expect to be like this!" ”
Ye Hai's dunk couldn't help but make Nowitzki's thoughts go back to the fiery years when he fought 7 games with Yao Mai, Novitzki seemed to see the man who once moved God to tears, the man who rode the "big bamboo pole" Bradley, and the man who was so similar to the violent dunk of the young man in front of him.
It's just that one person's eyes are full of confusion, while another's eyes are full of hope!
Looking at the back of Ye Hai and his teammates high-fived, Nowitzki secretly thought in his heart: "He will become a great character!" ”。 (To be continued.) )
