Chapter 077: A Big Victory over the Maverick

After three quarters, the Knicks still firmly controlled the game, the score was still expanding, and the Dallas had to face the fact that if they wanted to win, they would have to outscore their opponents by 24 points in the fourth quarter, a task that seemed to be more difficult than the Knicks' reversal of the Lakers.

Of course, some people don't understand it that way.

"24 points, there is still a chance, even a strong team like the Lakers can be overturned in a big lead, let alone a team like the Knicks, they are still very young, and young people will make mistakes!"

Carlisle tried to instill his logic into the Mavericks' players, and the results were really good, because of this comparison, the Mavericks' emotions instantly calmed down a lot.

Kidd's age and experience as a locker room leader have made him more useful than Nowitzki at times, and even if he is a little behind today, it is not unusual for the old monsters who have played for more than ten years to turn around.

"Kill those guys on the other side, we've got to give them a taste of being reversed, tell me, what's the scariest thing in the world?" At the end, Kidd raised his voice.

The German tank replied loudly, "Cowboy's fury!" We've got to let them know that maybe they're going to end a losing streak against one team, but it's definitely not going to be us, this is Texas, and the cowboys are the masters of this land! ”

The statements of the two leaders were obvious, and in the short intermission, the Mavericks had already regained their morale, and just like in the previous quarters, they were once again full of confidence to go onto the field, of course. The first few times they failed, but what about this time?

Nowitzki seemed to want to say a "no," and his reason was the mid-range shot he made in the opening third quarter. After dribbling a few steps to the ball, he shot directly, and the independent signature action of the golden rooster made David Li Kong have a lot of strength but couldn't use it at all.

The referee also came to join in the fun, David Lee fouled, and Nowitzki scored a valid goal, along with a penalty added.

Chasing back three points in an instant, Carlisle nodded secretly on the court, if Nowitzki could continue to perform like this. It's not impossible to get the score back, just like the Big Apple in the Knicks vs. Lakers.

Carlisle was watching the game on the TV and it turned out to be unbelievable. It's obviously a dead end, but Big Apple has survived it with his personal ability, especially the controversial 0.2-second lore at the end.

Maybe others will think that Li Chen is shit luck, but Carlisle doesn't agree. In his opinion. Big Apple's final lore is completely closely related to his previous chasing points, all of which are due to personal strength, not luck.

At that time, Carlisle had imagined what he would do if he was in the position of the Lakers, and he did think of some solutions, and today, he got his wish and encountered a similar situation, and the opponent was also the Knicks, but unfortunately. The roles played by the two teams seemed to be reversed, with the Knicks becoming the Lakers. And the Mavericks became the Knicks.

Who will be the Big Apple for the Knicks? Will it be Nowitzki? Carlisle asked himself secretly, to be honest, he was not very optimistic about this idea, compared to the Big Apple, the German tank was ultimately less domineering and talented, and there was the calmness in the face of a dilemma.

Three offenses scored 8 points in a row, Nowitzki scored more than 30 today, a two-plus-one, a mid-range shot, a three-pointer, the German tank was unprecedentedly domineering in these two minutes, even if there was no violent dunk, but the real score has allowed him to prove his power.

In comparison, the Knicks only scored four points during this time, and the difference in scoring methods allowed the young to suddenly pull the score to the brink of 20 points.

The Knicks are gradually starting to be more vigilant, they don't intend to repeat the mistakes of the Lakers, and if the Mavericks continue to close the point gap, their momentum will undoubtedly be raised to another notch, and all the Knicks have to do is avoid creating this situation.

The Mavericks who have the right to attack attack, old Kidd calmly controls the ball in his hands, because of Nowitzki's continuous scoring, the Knicks have deliberately adjusted a little defense, in addition to the two major interior lines always pay attention to cross defense, Li Chen in the small front position is also always paying attention to the situation in the penalty area, and the advantage of strength and arm span makes his strength and defense power not to be underestimated.

In this situation, passing the ball to Nowitzki is obviously not a good choice, the role of the point guard is to always pay attention to the situation on the court, find the holes in the opponent's defense, and at the same time send the ball to the person with the best chance, the old pervert has been doing this work for more than ten years, it can be said that practice makes perfect.

Because of Nowitzki's empty cut, there was a vacancy in Josh Howard, and Kidd passed the ball in time, at this moment, the closest to the ugly man was Li Chen, who was deceived by Nowitzki to help defend, and the distance was about one and a half meters.

Howard made a mid-to-long-range jumper, Li Chen, who was out of position, could only defend with his eyes, and the big apple stared at Howard's shot with angry eyes, if it was a movie now, then Li Chen's expression was very likely to be mistaken for him controlling the basketball with his mind.

Of course, using the mind to manipulate the basketball can only be a joke, but that doesn't mean that the big apple's eye defense can't have any effect, and it doesn't make any sense to discuss whether the big apple's defense is working or Howard's own bad hands, because the ball has been ironed, the rebounds have been pocketed by Chandler, and nothing is to say.

The big screen at the scene also seemed to be unable to get along with Howard, and the high-definition replay made the big apple's eye defense completely present in the eyes of the audience, Howard suddenly became the object of ridicule from the audience, and the ugly man's performance in this game had no bright spots at all, no wonder the audience would be unhappy with him.

The camera was accurate enough to find Li Chen, and the instigator of the eye defense shrugged innocently, Big Apple wanted to say that his action just now was just to show D'Antoni that he was already deliberately defending, but the distance was not enough.

Howard's iron face showed the indignation in his heart at this time, it was a common thing to not be able to shoot basketball, and it was just an iron strike. The audience's reaction was so violent, which made him very puzzled and a little unwilling. In this Mavericks, the dirty work is all his, but I didn't expect the fans to be so unappreciative, which is really hurtful.

Of course, Howard is not bold enough to give the middle finger to the fans, he can only keep all this in his heart, in order to release the negative emotions in his heart. Howard has shifted to focusing more on defense, which in his opinion is a loss of fan trust. A big reason is caused by Li Chen, as long as he guards against the Big Apple, he is still the most relied on by Dallas people.

Of course, Li Chen would not be stingy with such an opportunity, feeling Howard's gaze. He's looking forward to the next one. With his back without any new ideas, Li Chen used his most sure scoring method to show his respect for Howard, of course, it is impossible to say whether the latter regards this as respect.

Back again? Howard scolded secretly, the big apple is in a particularly good state today, and the success rate of the back singles is also exceptionally high, and the many tragedies of losing points make Howard very clear that he is powerless in the face of this move, but now. He wanted to try again.

Li Chen leaned his back against Howard, and the power from the other party's body was not enough to cause problems for him. It's not impossible to turn around and jump shots if you have to do it, but someone, who is already a little bored, decides to change the way, after all, the Knicks are still leading by a big score, and it's not impossible to play a little.

Little by little, he had to speed up the pace of the dribble, and the big Apple's move let Howard know that the opponent was going to make a move soon, and Mr. Ugly Man waited with bated breath, he didn't want to be ridiculed by the audience again, and the best way was to prevent Li Chen's attack.

With the last dribble, Li Chen slammed the ball to the floor, and after the basketball bounced, Li Chen quickly completed a turn, and the big apple instantly made the transition from a basket to a noodle frame.

Howard was slightly stunned, because Li Chen didn't arch him in advance this time, which was really a bit strange. You must know that Li Chen has been relying on the advantage of strength to eat Howard before, but this time he actually changed the technical route, and Howard has not adapted to Li Chen's changes for a while.

However, this will not affect his defense, without the suppression of Li Chen's strength, Howard is extraordinarily relaxed, and the big apple has basically no chance to jump now, his only option is to accelerate the breakthrough, and his long-term defensive experience makes Howard very clear what he should do.

Li Chen's instant acceleration did not surprise Howard, he didn't want to be a joke again, he pressed it desperately, as long as Li Chen could lose the opportunity to shoot, then even if he won this round, for such a simple task, Howard was very confident.

Of course, some things can't be done with confidence alone, although Li Chen has changed the way of attacking, it doesn't mean that he will be so enthusiastic that he will force a hard burst, before deciding to attack, he has already conceived his own plan, and Howard is indeed falling into the trap he set in advance step by step as he thought.

The spectators outside the court had a full view of the situation on the court, in their eyes, the big apple did not hold the ball and break through to the basket after suddenly turning around, on the contrary, the big apple, which has never been known for its delicate skills, actually chose a cross step in this offense, and returned directly to the original position after changing hands under the crotch, while Howard, who was in a defensive position, had to lean under the basket because of his wishful thinking.

His mind kept wanting to go back, but his body didn't listen to him because of the shift of his center of gravity, and Howard forced his body to twist and turn back, because in his peripheral vision, the big apple seemed to be ready to jump on the spot.

The pressure of the brain and body being out of sync was finally transferred to Howard's fragile ankles, the tragic ugly man sat on the ground in the eyes of the audience, and Cuban on the sidelines couldn't bear to look at him, he could already anticipate the reaction of the audience, and the owner who was known as the best in the league would make his players worse.

Li Chen, one of the parties, didn't expect that his momentary idea would help him complete a crossover, and Howard sat on the ground very cooperatively, he had nothing to say about it, a most standard jump shot dedicated to Howard for the best supporting actor, I hope this gorgeous pose can make the viewer pay less attention to the humiliated expression on Mr. Tragedy's face.

In other words, Li Chen had the urge to tell Howard that he didn't mean to, but reason told him that it was more appropriate to stay away from the center of the incident for the time being, otherwise, it would be difficult to guarantee that the tragic actor would not get up from the floor and beat himself.

Li Chen is naturally not afraid of fighting, he just doesn't want to be suspended anymore, in case there is another Knicks with eight out of ten games, he will really have to mix in the lotto area.

Howard is off the court, the ankle injury does not seem to be optimistic, and what makes Carlisle even more headache is that the psychological trauma of his disciple may not be clear, when Howard left the field injured, although the audience did not boo, but the ridicule on their faces was clear at a glance.

Mr. Coach knows very well that the impact of the home fans' attitude on the players is immeasurable, and if Howard can't get out of the shadows himself, then it's hard to guarantee that he can do anything in the future.

The game had lost all suspense when Howard left the court, and the Mavericks did not intend to fight for their injured teammates, Carlisle quickly replaced the main lineup, and in today's game, the Mavericks gave up.

After many days, Li Chen rarely cut a triple-double, 31 points, 12 assists and 12 rebounds super triple-double helped the Knicks defeat the Western giants Mavericks by nearly 30 points, especially his gorgeous change of direction in the final quarter, which almost became the headline in the next day's report.
