"Why is this birdman here again?" The Mavericks players were all quietly cursing Cuban in their hearts, of course, Cuban didn't care, and still patted Nowitzki on the shoulder: "Of course, I'm not a person who doesn't know anything, I know that you young people are always impulsive, so if you're not careful, you will do something that can't be taken back, but I believe you can control your emotions next." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After that, he still added: "It would be nice if you could be as pampered as I am." After saying this, Cuban walked away, and happened to meet the reporter who was blocking the way to ask him a question, so he said murderously: "Anyway, I have the impression that the Knicks have just been on a bad team, and today we can easily solve them, and I am confident in that." ”

"But the Mavericks' All-Star forward Dirk? Nowitzki has already committed four fouls, do you think you can win the game without Dirk? ”

Cuban waved his hand: "That's natural, because they have a wise boss, and that wise boss can witness their game, and it will be the supreme glory of the Mavericks!" ”

After saying this, the Kuban chief laughed away, and the reporters got what they wanted to a certain extent, and they all left. At this time, the coach of the Mavericks began to arrange: "Dirk will definitely not be able to play next, so we must find other firepower points in the next game, we need to let him take on our offensive tasks, at least not let our team collapse, of course, Jason, you may have to pay a little more in the second half, and you need to do your best when Dirk is not on the court." ”

Kidd nodded over there.

There was jubilation in the Knicks' locker room, solving Nowitzki's hateful German tank, there is no doubt that their game will be smoother, D'Antoni also smiled and said: "Chen, Zack, you two just performed very well, now Dirk is estimated to be unable to play, what we have to do is to seize this opportunity, completely catch up with the score and achieve a comeback over them." ”

The whistle sounded, and the second half of the game began, and at the beginning of this quarter, the Knicks did their best, and the starting five Tigers all went into battle, looking murderous, and the Mavericks were a little shabby in comparison. Although Kidd was standing on the court, he never got off the court in the first and second quarters, which made him more or less tired now, and Nowitzki did not play.

The audience couldn't help but be a little disappointed after seeing the Mavericks' lineup, although they already knew that Nowitzki would not play again, but when they really saw the situation, they still couldn't stop their worries.

The possession of the first ball is in the hands of the Knicks, and the person who controls the ball is still Zhang Chen, and the current score situation is 47:44, and the Knicks are still leading by three points. Today looks like a revenge day, and the Knicks players are all watching Zhang Chen control the ball, and they are all preparing for a beautiful offense one by one.

Zhang Chen controlled the ball over half the court, and soon came to the three-point line, after he took a look at the defensive situation of the Mavericks, he found that these people still have a sense of mourning and victory, they are all doing their best to defend the Knicks' offense, this kind of defense is manifested in their actions are to surround the inside line, Zhang Chen is difficult to break in now.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Chen suddenly saw Randolph on the inside flashing a good position to catch the ball, so the basketball in Zhang Chen's hand immediately ran towards Randolph, this pass made the Mavericks' inside line shocked, and hurriedly came up to re-jam Randolph, after Randolph received the pass, there was no vacancy that had just flashed, so Randolph was locked in this way.

It's just that at the moment when Zhang Chen just passed the ball, his body had already rushed directly to the inside, and his body was so fast that others couldn't catch up when he controlled the ball, let alone this state of not controlling the ball?

Everyone only saw that Zhang Chen was like a white lightning bolt and no one could stop him, and at this time, everyone focused most of their defensive attention on Randolph who received the ball, and did not indulge Randolph too much.

Randolph threw the basketball into the sky, and everyone thought that he had failed to make a layup, because the defenders were helpless when they tried to block the ball, because the trajectory of the basketball was weird.

However, Zhang Chen quickly overturned this assertion, and in the action captured by the high-definition camera on the big screen, Zhang Chen went straight to the inside line, and then jumped high one step inside the free throw line, and when he was in the sky, his body was completely stretched, and then he grabbed the basketball with both hands and smashed it into the basket.

"Bang!" The basket swayed, and some neutral fans on the sidelines cheered desperately, because the ball was so beautiful, of course, this is not to say that Zhang Chen's slam dunk is beautiful, but Zhang Chen passed the ball to Randolph, and then Randolph threw the basketball into the sky, and then Zhang Chen flew directly high and grabbed the basketball to make the basket tremble for a slam dunk.

Afterwards, a well-known sports photographer took a photo that basketball fans talked about in the basketball world for later generations - in the background of the huge court, Zhang Chen received the basketball in the sky, and then dragged the basketball back with both hands, and was preparing for a powerful slam dunk. At this time, Randolph, who completed the pass, did not look behind him, he just made a victory gesture towards the camera.

People say that this photo is great, because Zhang Chen's background is the entire arc top, and this lens is shot at an upward angle, which makes Zhang Chen seem to only rise above the nine heavens when he rises in the air, and all the players next to him have just become his foil, and his height is unmatched, he flies in the sky like a god of war in the nine heavens.

This is only the first subtlety, in fact, the best part is that Zhang Chen is still in the air to grab the basketball, and Randolph makes a triumphant gesture towards the camera at this time, this tacit understanding makes many Knicks Dynasty fans in later generations still seem to relish. This photograph also became one of the greatest photographs of that era, and became a unique memory of the people of that era.

Slam dunk smashed, the Mavericks' morale was directly hit into the trough in a short moment, and then, Kidd tried to pull back a city with a successful mid-range shot, but unfortunately the basketball flew out of the basket after a while on the basket, Kidd's idea went bankrupt, and then the rebound was grabbed by Randolph and thrown to Zhang Chen, who in turn passed to Duhon.

In the process of passing the ball, the Mavericks advanced and retreated, and had begun to defend in the Knicks' offensive line, at this time the score situation was 49:44, and the Knicks led by five points.

Du Hong re-passed the ball back to Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen gave the ball to David next to him after breaking through? Lee, David Lee jumped high and ended the offense with a layup, and the score became 51-44.

The Mavericks fought back again, but unfortunately their offense pale after losing Nowitzki, and their offense grew paler after losing their most reliable offensive player. One of Kidd's passes disappeared again in the middle of nowhere, but fortunately their inside rebound allowed Kidd to reorganize his offense and hit the basket.

The score became 51:46, and the Mavericks finally gained a foothold after this opening offense, the Mavericks are a strong team after all, a team in the league that has a fairly mature tactical literacy, and despite the loss of Nowitzki, their orderly advance and retreat still taught the Knicks players a lesson.

Cuban is also still standing on the sidelines, standing with the Mavericks' head coach yelling at the court.

The Mavericks played beautiful offense and defense at the start of the third quarter, but the Knicks played even better.

After Zhang Chen and Randolph were able to get into the top five in the air, the Knicks launched their fast break.

Later, the Knicks seemed to have become the former Suns, and their kind of fast-break operation was dazzling - first of all, Zhang Chen assisted David Lee to make a successful basket, and the Mavericks returned the color with Kidd's assist, and then, Zhang Chen received a pass and everyone thought he was going to immediately control the ball over the half, but Zhang Chen's approach was the opposite, he passed the ball directly to Du Hong, and Du Hong passed the basketball to Gallinari with a long pass, so Gallinari made a direct jump shot on the outside and hit a three-point shot.

However, it is clear that the current Knicks do not have the obvious weaknesses of the Suns of the past, their defense is still very organized, and their speed of defense is also amazing, and they soon began to block the Mavericks' offense. The Mavericks' slow pace on offense also gave them plenty of time to recuperate and prepare for their next offense.

The next offense, Du Hong broke through and distributed the ball to Zhang Chen outside the three-point line, Zhang Chen hit the first three-pointer in the second half, adding three points to the Mavericks' trailing score.

The Knicks' three-pointer rain left the Mavericks devastated, but their offense continued. In order to cope with the Knicks' fast attack, the Mavericks were accidentally dragged to a fast pace by the Knicks. After the rhythm was disrupted by the Knicks, the Mavericks were quite a cup, the Knicks' kind of fast break has been tempered thousands of times, and now the cooperation is getting better and better, not to mention that the Mavericks also have one less offensive weapon, Nowitzki, so they can only be exhausted in front of the Knicks' fast break, so the Knicks control the initiative of the game.

By the end of the third quarter, the score between the Knicks and the Mavericks was 79-66, and the Knicks had led their opponents by 13 points, which made the Mavericks players a little crying.

The person who is most annoyed now is of course Nowitzki, he didn't expect that one of his impulses could put the team into such a dangerous situation, if the Mavericks can have his offense now, then the situation will definitely improve, but unfortunately he has no possibility of playing now.

After returning to the bench, the veteran Kidd had no more energy, Nowitzki could not play, and the team could only rely on him to support himself, which made him feel a pain of physical exhaustion. Although the Mavericks have a bunch of bench bandits up to cut points, this insignificant cut is obviously impossible to save the entire Mavericks.

"Jason, are you okay?" The head coach of the Mavericks asked worriedly, but when he heard Kidd's gasp, he also had an answer, after all, Kidd had been on the court for more than 27 minutes in this game.

The head coach of the Mavericks had to sigh and said, "Okay, it is estimated that the opponent will succeed in revenge this time." ”

Nowitzki's eyes burned with anger when he heard this, and he stood up with a bang, walked in front of the Mavericks head coach, and said, "Boss, let me go...... Now I have to get on. ”

The head coach of the Mavericks carefully weighed the gains and losses of letting Nowitzki play in his heart, but think about the current situation, if Nowitzki doesn't play, he can only rely on Kidd alone to support the team, and the Knicks' group of offensive maniacs have already led them by 13 points, and if they continue like this, they will definitely be loaded.

So, take the risk and replace Nowitzki, he only has this way to go, and thinking of this, he said weakly: "Okay, Dirk, but you have to remember that you are already a four-time foul man, you can't have any more fouls, none of them...... So it's conceivable that you're going to be in a very difficult situation, and you have to hold back your anger, is that okay? ”

Nowitzki nodded heavily, after all, the biggest responsibility for the current situation in this game lies with him.

"I think the Mavericks are going to bring in Dirk...... But now that Dirk is completely disabled on defense, your next task is to try to attack as much as possible, and preferably let Dirk be fouled one last time. ”

With that out of the way, the Knicks put their hands together and shouted victory, and they were on the court for the final quarter of the revenge battle. Seeing that Nowitzki was indeed on the field, Randolph began his trash talk again: "Hey, German, have you figured out your relationship with that cheating girl?" Are you ready to give her your hard-earned money? ”

Nowitzki suppressed his anger, and at the same time received a pass from the outside, and said: "Fatty, I won't be fooled by you again, listen to me, you will definitely be beaten into a sieve by me next." ”

So, the end of this encounter is that Nowitzki was not talked down by Randolph, as if Randolph was angry by Nowitzki, who hit a mid-range shot to help the Mavericks earn two points.

The Knicks' possession, Zhang Chen suddenly broke through Howard next to him after controlling the ball over half court, and the Mavericks' interior line was suddenly shocked by Zhang Chen.

The end of Zhang Chen's path is quite obvious, he is heading towards Nowitzki, and the end of his route is the basket on the right side of Nowitzki's defense. Seeing that Zhang Chen stepped directly into the inside line in a few steps and came to Nowitzki, Nowitzki saw this situation and hurriedly stretched out his sinful right hand to go up and seal it.

Before he thought that Zhang Chen should have dodged this block, who knew that Zhang Chen actually hit his right hand, Nowitzki was startled, but he quickly reacted - this birdman was trying to cheat his foul!

"It's too cunning...... Nowitzki retracted his right hand that went to defend, and at the same time, his body also made way for Zhang Chen's offense, which allowed Zhang Chen to make a direct layup with a graceful and chic movement like a finger wrap. The basketball is gently shaken into the net flowers, and it looks like it has a beautiful grace dancing with the sky as the stage.

Nowitzki's two points were dissolved by Zhang Chen with a breakthrough.

Nowitzki's offense is still impeccable, and his offense is quite consistent this time, with the idea of coming up for revenge and atonement, Nowitzki's jump shot is very consistent, the basketball flies easily into the net, and he easily scores two points again and again.

It's just that everyone can see that Novitsky's offensive power has a smell of gunpowder, and this guy's attack always has a feeling of a silver bottle bursting with water, as if his powder keg will slam into brilliant sparks in the next second. As a result, Nonovitsky's jump shot was also affected by the smell of gunpowder, and his shooting percentage was not too high when he returned to the court. The Knicks and Mavericks have entered this state of mutual conflict.

Zhang Chen and Randolph also tried to provoke Nowitzki, but although this guy was about to get angry in his eyes, he was still careful when defending, for fear of being fouled by the opponent. However, his caution made Zhang Chen's breakthrough and Randolph's offense demand, which made the Mavericks' defense a big hole and needed more people to make up for it.

Moreover, after going back and forth, seeing that Zhang Chen and Randolph had been pooping on their heads, Nowitzki had already become angry with the stench on his head. He now hated Zhang Chen and Randolph, the two birdmen, and he must make them pay the corresponding price.

That mentality gradually took over, and Nowitzki's defensive moves were bigger, and certainly didn't exceed the threshold for a foul.

The score situation of the Mavericks and the Knicks was repeated in the crazy scoring of Nowitzki and his teammates, Zhang Chen and Randolph's crazy scoring, and soon, the score of the two sides became that the Mavericks were 9 points behind the opponent, and there were five minutes left in the clock.

The Mavericks called a timeout, and after a timeout, he switched to Kidd.

The combination of Kidd and Nowitzki can definitely bring enough threat to the Knicks, thinking of this, Zhang Chen faced Howard's defense when he controlled the ball, and once again activated his peak speed and went to the inside. He wants to remove the Knicks' huge threat in this game as soon as possible.

"That guy is in again...... many people lamented in their hearts, and the center hurriedly went up to defend Zhang Chen, but Zhang Chen jumped away from him with a jump, and his body became extremely dexterous in the sky, as if he was strolling leisurely. After jumping away from the opponent's center with a jump, Zhang Chen once again came to their inside depth, and the person standing in front of him became Nowitzki again.
