In this game, the Dallas Mavericks face the New Orleans Hornets at home. As a result, Jason Kidd was ejected for a foul in the fourth quarter, and the Mavericks lost 84-97 to the Hornets. In terms of the overall score of the two sides, the Hornets ushered in the series point with a 3-0 lead.

At the beginning of the game, the Mavericks made consecutive offensive shots on the inside, and although Paul's jumper helped the Hornets take the lead, the Mavericks quickly shifted the attack point to the outside and scored six points in a row. Three and a half minutes into the first quarter, the Mavericks led the Hornets 10-6.

But at this time, Zhong Yu came on the court, he just hit a three-pointer on the court, and also indirectly assisted Peja to shoot a three-pointer, and the Hornets took the opportunity to play an 8-2 small ** to turn the situation around. But the Mavericks were clearly prepared for this battle of fate, with an 8-0 run to regain the lead.

With three minutes left in the first quarter, Jongwook hit another three-pointer at the top of the arc, and Jason Terry immediately hit back-to-back three-pointers from outside the left wing. However, the Hornets' Paul relied on throws and step-back jumpers to quickly chase four straight points, and after the first quarter, the Hornets chased the score to 23-30.

In the second quarter, the game was also very intense, and Zhong Yu's main performance in this quarter was to break through the inside line and cause Nowitzki to foul, get a 2+1, and also broke through successfully, and the total score rose to 11 points.

At the beginning of the second half, Zhong Yu completely exploded, and he scored 10 of the team's first 13 points. It took just over three minutes for the Hornets to extend their lead to double digits, forcing the Mavericks to have to take a timeout.

However, as the game continued, the Mavericks still struggled to change the passive situation, and Chandler received a wonderful pass from Paul for an aerial relay dunk, and the Hornets' lead seemed unbreakable. Nowitzki stepped up at the critical moment and hit a three-point shot to narrow the margin to five points.

But by the end of the third quarter, the Hornets broke back to contain the Mavericks' comeback, and the Mavericks trailed again 66-76 at the end of the quarter. Jongwook's total score after this quarter also rose to 23 points.

In the fourth quarter, the Hornets played a 7-2 small **, and the difference between the two teams was further expanded. Nowitzki just hit a jumper, and Wright immediately responded with two points on the right baseline, and the Mavericks' confidence and fighting spirit were crushed little by little.

With 7:16 left in the quarter, the mentally unbalanced Kidd was ejected for a foul on Paco, and the Mavericks, who trailed by 17 points, made matters worse. Halfway through the quarter, the Mavericks scored a measly 4.

Nowitzki, who was supported by himself, hit a three-point shot from a distance, but Zhong Yu then hit a three-pointer, and the Mavericks' confidence in turning the tables was completely shattered, and this game was also taken down by the Hornets.

In this game, Zhong Yu's good performance was mainly concentrated in the third quarter, and he scored ten points in a row, which was quite exciting.

In the whole game, he scored a total of 29 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, which was the highest score on the team.

The Mavericks wanted to turn the tables several times in this game, and they knew it was their hope, but alas, the Hornets didn't give them that chance.

Zhongyu didn't give them this chance either.

3:0, the Hornets got the match point at the home of the Mavericks, and the history of 3:0 behind the opponent in the playoffs is very small, or even none!

Therefore, before the start of the playoffs, the Hornets, who were not very favored by everyone, kept winning against the Mavericks.

By now, they've pretty much sealed the series.

The Mavericks are really depressed and want to hit the wall now, especially Kidd, who was ejected for a malicious foul, and even wants to beat someone out of anger.

Unfortunately, the reality is cruel, and the Mavericks, if nothing else, will stop in the first round this season.

"Damn, we can't keep that shit-like Chinese rookie." During the Mavericks' post-game discussion, Kidd slammed his fist on the locker door, which he slammed to the staggering door: "He's just a second-round pick, why did he suddenly become our rival?" ”

Nowitzki smiled wryly: "At the beginning of the last game, we limited him a little, but then he had a big explosion...... Seriously, I've never seen anyone shoot so accurately, never ......"

"Accurate shooting...... Accurate shooting. Kidd thought with some resentment.

Mavericks head coach Rivers said a little helplessly: "Guys, next game, we have to win." ”

Hearing this, both Kidd and Nowitzki came out of their emotions just now, and they also knew that there was only a theoretical possibility to defeat the Hornets now. So, what they have to prepare for is to try to win as many games as possible, so that they don't end up so ridiculous......

Now, the 3-0 team in the West has the Mavericks and Nuggets, and the Mavericks have their own dignity and will not allow themselves to be swept by a Western upstart.

"I think we still have to guard against that number five, his threat to us...... It's too big. Nowitzki said.

"Yes, we need to hurry up and develop a better countermeasure against this guy, otherwise it will feel like it will be difficult for people to end."

…………

Compared to the gloomy Mavericks, the Hornets' locker room is rejoicing.

This is not only because of the bonus awarded by the league to enter the second round, but also because the Hornets were finally able to step on the remains of the Mavericks.

Who would have thought that the fish belly wasp of a few years ago would now be the favourite? Trampling the bones of the calves in the playoffs became a god.

Now, the Mavericks basically can't jump, and everyone admits that.

Scott smiled at the crowd and then said with the calmness that a manager must have: "Guys, though, we're already 3-0 up, which means they need to win four games in a row to beat us in the series. It sounds incredible, but they also had four wins to turn the tables around...... It's not impossible......"

Everyone also quieted down, there is no Sakuragi Flower Road and no Yuan Daying, everyone will not be blindly optimistic, the Mavericks are a traditional strong team after all, if you are not careful, and you are beaten down by the opponent in the case of 3:0, then the Hornets will have a lot of fun......

"So, guys." Scott concluded: "We're going to be at our best for Game 4...... Strive to defeat the opponent directly and return to New Orleans as soon as possible...... Practice your tactics and defeat the disgusting San Antonios! ”

Scott has the Spurs in mind!

Everyone's enthusiasm was remobilized, and a strong will to fight also rose.

The fourth game between the Mavericks and the Hornets was played on the Mavericks' home court, and there were no more and no fewer fans who came today, after all, the Mavericks have basically been sentenced to a suspended death sentence, so there are not too many fans who are enthusiastic about this game.
