Chapter 322: Fighting Cowboys

In the current Mavericks camp, there is another person who has to be mentioned, the younger brother of the Joe gang leader, who is also a rookie from North Carolina, and was once called the 'Jordan successor' before.

Although, in fact, it was also proven that this was just a gimmick, not some successor to Jordan, he was just Starkerhouse.

Although he has averaged more than 20 points per game in his career, it is a thing of the past.

And not in the present tense.

Now 30 years old, he has already passed his peak.

However, Stackhouse's mentality is still very good, and he is willing to accept the role of sixth man assigned to him by the Mavericks to replace the vacancy that Jamison left.

Stackhouse has become a substitute for the Mavericks, and it is conceivable how the Mavericks are now fighting.

Although it is not the best in the league, but at the very least, with his strength and level, replacing Jamison as the sixth man of the Mavericks must be qualified, and it is not impossible to be the sixth man of the year, and at the current level of Starkerhouse, it is definitely not a dream to complete this.

It's realistic.

This is from a small point of view, and from a big point of view, the Mavericks are not a weak team, they are very strong, and the Mavericks under the leadership of old Nelson have been extremely competitive in the West in the past few years.

If you look back at the history of Mavericks, you will see that Mavericks are really not a character to be ignored.

Compared with the Lakers, Celtics, and other veteran powerhouses, the Mavericks are rising stars. They also joined the NBA in the 90s and 80s. Comparatively. What is it that Mavericks are not rookies?

Although, to say that Mavericks are a rising star, however, Mavericks are not simple, he is different from some other rising stars, there is a significant difference, although, in the first year they only achieved a 15-67 record. However, every year since, they have improved, and in the '83-84 season, they had a win rate of over 50% and made the playoffs.

In this way, the Mavericks enter the playoffs, and many people are not so optimistic about the Mavericks.

At that time, many people also complained that even if the Mavericks entered the playoffs, it would be difficult for them to make a big difference. They will definitely be out of the game in the first round against the HyperSonics, which is an inevitable event. However, the Mavericks eliminated the SuperSonics in that game, and in the second round, they faced the old powerhouse Los Angeles Lakers.

Although, in the second round, the Mavericks could not win the game against the Lakers, but such a young Maverick also won everyone's respect.

That's true.

Although, in the second round of the season, he lost early.

However, as a new force, the Mavericks entered the playoffs in the following years, five years in a row.

And, in 88, they defeated the Rockets and Nuggets, and rushed to the Western Conference finals for the first time, but unfortunately they met the Lakers again, and after seven fierce battles, they still lost and missed the finals.

This is also the most glorious period for the Mavericks.

Although, after that, the Mavericks had a period of low ebb, they began to enter the rebuild, this rebuilding period was also extremely long, until 94, they selected Kidd that they saw a little bit of light, but unfortunately the Mavericks' "triple J combination" was quickly dismantled, in 96 Kidd was replaced to the Suns, and the Mavericks got Finley.

And just when Mavericks fans thought that the Mavericks would continue the rebuilding period like this, at this time, the Mavericks also introduced the old Nelson who will have a huge impact on the Mavericks in the next few years.

The '97-year-old Nelson joined the Mavericks, and after a brief period of pain, they ushered in a new peak.

In 2001, he returned to the playoff stage after an 11-season absence.

Under the leadership of Finley and Nowitzki, the Jazz were eliminated to reach the second round, but unfortunately, in the Western Conference semifinals and the Spurs' bull-horse battle, the Mavericks were also defeated by the Spurs.

Although it was a failure, such a calf also gave people hope.

In the future 01-02 season, the Mavericks also opened the American Airlines Arena, and the Mavericks, who changed the home arena, have also improved their record, achieving the best record in the team's history with 57 wins.

Although, it's a bit of a pity that the team was also defeated by the Kings in the second round.

However, this did not dampen the confidence of the Mavericks, who still rose to the occasion and made a comeback.

In the 02-03 season, the Mavericks extended their record to 60 wins and reached the Western Conference Finals again, once again facing off against their old rival Spurs.

It's a classic matchup, and it's fair to say that whoever wins this game will win the championship.

Because there was really no one in the west at that time, the Lakers who were in full swing in the west were also defeated.

There is really no team that can compete with the West, and the Pacers and Pistons, or the Kings are still too young at this time.

There is no strength to wrestle with the strong teams in the west.

And in this bull-horse battle, the calf was also unable to seize the opportunity for revenge, and in this much-anticipated cow-horse duel, in the end, the calf was defeated.

fell twice on the same opponent, which made the Mavericks very injured, so they will usher in a big change this season, lineup adjustments, although, did not achieve the expected results, but, the Mavericks' results in this season, since the beginning of the game, they have not been out of the top three in the West, although, many people say that this season, the Mavericks are less Nash, and their combat power has been reduced by more than half.

However, looking at the team's record, the same cannot be said.

The current Mavericks are really not good compared to the sun, they are the first in the west, and you are only the third in the west, which is true, but you say that the combat power is halved, this is unscientific.

Mavericks are really underrated.

Mavericks are not as bad as the outside world rumores. He's very strong.

This can be reflected in the spirit of the calf.

The outside world is generally not optimistic about the Mavericks this season. There are also many experts in the outside world who are questioning. Questioning the combat power of this calf now?

In the face of the tide of doubts, the Mavericks were also unmoved, still playing the game on their own, and slapped them in the face with excellent results.

Even if the Mavericks play against strong opponents in the upper West such as the Suns, Spurs and other teams, they can be defeated, and you say that the Mavericks are weak, this is not a joke, what is this?

Though. The results are not as good as last season, but before the team faced the Pacers, they also made a winning statement, thinking that they can win and will win.

Nowitzki, the core of the Mavericks team, doesn't have much to say, but Jason Terry still has a lot to say.

In an interview before the game, he has always been extremely high-profile. In an interview with the media, when asked what he thought of the game against the Pacers. "Every team on a winning streak can be respected, but it's their misfortune that they are facing us at this time."

"Are you ready?"

"This is the end of your winning streak."

……

Jason Terry is so high-profile and so open-mouthed, naturally in the Mavericks camp, he can just say this kind of thing, as for others, they won't say that, in the current Mavericks camp, he is just a little arrogant, arrogant, and open-mouthed.

However, although Nowitzki and others did not say too much that they must defeat and defeat the Pacers, but the Mavericks against the Pacers also made their blood boil.

After all, it's not every day that a team has won 36 games in a row.

It's a rare opportunity, this chance to beat a team with 36 wins, maybe it's only once in a career.

If you miss it, then it may really be a lifetime thing.

So, this kind of game, the rest of the Mavericks are also very prepared with great care, and they are also trying to try to beat the Pacers and win the final victory of the game.

As the same Mavericks coach said before the game, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss it, it will be a lifetime." We have to cherish, we have to seize this opportunity to beat the Pacers, let history remember the name of our Mavericks, and beat the Mavericks of a 36-game winning streak. ”

Old Nelson is also a master of speech, and what he said was that the Mavericks were like playing chicken blood, extremely excited, and extremely looking forward to the Pacers' game.

They wanted to go up and flash the dagger to the Pacers right now and take them over to win the game.

Naturally, it is not because of how superb the old Nelson's words are, on the contrary, the old Neeson is not how superb these words are, on the contrary, they are extremely straightforward and concise.

Know.

Straightforwardly point out the powerful relationship.

Winning the Pacers is the team that beat the 36-game winning streak, and the Pacers with the 36-game winning streak will be remembered in history.

This kind of opportunity is really not an exaggeration to say that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, on the contrary, it is really very appropriate.

The league has been established for several years, and this is the first time that this kind of opportunity has appeared, and it can be said that this is even rarer than reaching the finals.

It's hard to get to the finals, but it's happening every season.

It's not every day that you can play against a team that has won 36 in a row.

Because of this, this game is also highly anticipated.

There is still a week before the start of this game, and tickets for the Pacers vs. Mavericks game have already been sold out.

It is even said that there is a shortage of supply, and for this game, countless scalpers have also been breeded.

In a game, there can be scalpers, which shows the popularity of this game.

And the scalpers dared to sell hundreds or even thousands of tickets for a chapter that cost dozens of dollars, which shows the popularity of this game.

The popularity of this competition is evident.

The level of attention that this game has received is only the Mavericks' playoffs, but it is only to this extent.

On the day of the game, there were still 30 minutes before the start of the game, and the fans were also entering the stadium one after another, and the American Airlines Arena, which can accommodate more than 20,000 people, was immediately full in just 20 minutes.

There were still ten minutes before the start of the game, but the scene was extremely noisy and full of voices.

This is inside the stadium, and outside the stadium, many fans who can't buy tickets are also standing in front of the square, staring at the big screen in the stadium, paying attention to the real-time dynamics of the game.

In addition to the crowds in the plaza, the bars and restaurants near the American Airlines Center are also full, and it is more of a good feeling for fans who can't afford to buy tickets, or who prefer to have a drink or two here, and who are used to watching the game while drinking.

There's nothing more comfortable than this.

Naturally, it would be great if the Mavericks could win the game against the Pacers, who are already 36 wins.

That's exactly what they expected, what they expected.

And when the fans entered the stadium during the game, when the names of the Pacers fans were read by the commentators, they erupted in earth-shattering boos, and the boos completely swallowed the arena like a tide.

Life is boiling at the scene.

It's extremely noisy.

By the time Miller came out, the boos had already resounded throughout the arena, and I thought this was the biggest boo.

However, what people didn't expect was that compared to the boos of Mavericks fans for Miller, it was really a drop in the bucket.

The fans at the scene, led by Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, broke out all kinds of curses, and the boos were like stormy waves, invading the stadium, and the stadium was swallowed up in an instant.

Being in the middle of the stadium gives the feeling that you're not playing, you're fighting, you're fighting with more than 20,000 people.

At this time, playing this game at the Mavericks' home court, the home court advantage is also undoubtedly revealed.

And when the Mavericks generals came on the field, the earth-shattering boos on the scene also stopped abruptly, and were replaced by endless cheers on the scene.

The cheers engulfed the arena like a tidal wave, almost lifting the lid of the arena's ceiling.

The faces of many Maverick fans at the scene were also flushed, and the game had not started yet, obviously, they were already high~ tide.

Although they are a perennial winner against the Pacers, they are not worried at all when they are on their home court, and they do not see the Pacers as an extremely difficult opponent to beat, just an ordinary opponent.

This is also where Mavericks do well.

Although the game has not yet started, but, judging from the state of the Mavericks, this game, no matter what the final result is, the only thing that is certain is that it is a scorching game.

(Second update.) I don't remember how long it has been since I had two shifts a day. Now that the two watches are being sent, can you ask for some recommended tickets, monthly passes and the like? ）
