Chapter 773: What is a dunk
The starting lineup of the Mavericks is center Haywood, power forward Nowitzki, small forward Marion, scoring guard Butler, and playmaking guard Kidd.
As Billups said, the starting lineup of the Mavericks right now, gorgeous mess!
Nowitzki and Marion will be the starting big and small forwards, and the duo will be very attacking, not only scoring under the basket, but also maintaining a terrifying intimidation in the high post.
Butler, who has not been well-known, is also an All-Star scorer, and he can help the Mavericks build a score advantage as quickly as he becomes a starting point guard. As a strong contender for the Sixth Man of the Year in these seasons, Jason Terry will continue his magical play off the bench and deliver fatal blows to opponents with his big heart in crunch time.
The Warriors' starting lineup is: center Chamberlain, power forward Ibaka, small forward Jackson, playmaking guard Billups, and scoring guard Curry.
Chamberlain walked onto the court, the fans booed not too loudly, the most jerseys in the arena was Nowitzki's No. 41 jersey, the second most is Chamberlain, now he walks the league, no matter where or even the Cavaliers of the old rival James, there are fans cheering for him.
There are still a lot of fans in this part.
Nelson Sr. gave a final tactical note, patting a couple of people on the shoulders and getting them on the pitch.
Mavericks owner Cuban sneered and looked at the Warriors player, who was wearing a Mavericks jacket that said 'Cowboys killed the Warriors'.
Cowboy is the name given to their team by Mavericks fans, and the translation of Mavericks is actually inaccurate, and in English this team means the person who domesticates the calf, that is, the cowboy.
Chamberlain's rebelliousness is also known in the Union, and seeing this, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Cuban, and then made a throat-slitting motion.
Seeing this, West did not hesitate, and got up from the bench to make this move to Cuban, and Jackson yelled: "Raised by a bitch, prepare to die!" ”
This scene can stimulate the Mavericks fans, and the arena suddenly became full of people, and the fans angrily yelled at the Warriors players, and all kinds of threats were endless.
The referees were shocked, and before the game started, they gave the Warriors a group technical foul, and Nowitzki executed the free throw, but it was too unexpected, and the free throw was accurate.
"Drop the chain at a critical time, hehe." Jackson smiled contemptuously.
Although the Warriors received a technical foul on the team, but still had to jump the ball, Chamberlain and Haywood stood face to face.
Just after the All-Star Game in February, Cuban set out to manipulate a trade in which he acquired Brandon Haywood and Caron Butler and DeSean Stevenson from the Wizards and Joseh Howard, Drew Gooden, James Singleton and Quinton Rose away.
Heywood was a well-known man, seven feet tall, weighing two hundred and seventy pounds, and he was fierce and combative. Back then, he was Arenas's loyal bodyguard on the inside, and he was also the Wizards' inside barrier.
It can be seen from this trade between the Wizards and the Mavericks that they are ready to kill Arenas, you must know that Haywood, Butler and Stevens are all Arenas's iron buddies, and cleaning them is naturally to prepare for cutting Arenas in the future.
Cuban picked up the bargain, and he paid Gooden's softie, Howard's old guy, but got a defensive titan and a scorer.
Haywood was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2001 NBA Draft with the No. 20 pick in the first round. The Cavaliers traded Haywood to the Orlando Magic for Michael Doriac, who then traded him to the Washington Wizards, who traded Laron Profit and a first-round pick.
He played as the starting center for most of the Wizards' first six seasons, and by the 2007-2008 season he had significantly improved his career tally, averaging a career-high 10 per game. 6 points and 7 points. 2 rebounds, tough game attitude and passionate fighting spirit, he is loved by fans.
Chamberlain glanced at Heywood, smiled coldly, and rubbed his hands together to get ready to jump ball.
Heywood's temper was not good, and he opened his eyes with rage and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
Chamberlain still didn't speak, and this time he didn't even look at Heywood, and Butler laughed and said, "He's scared of you, man." ”
Jackson looked at the two of them contemptuously and said, "Idiot, Z is not like a dying person, he has no habit of talking to corpses!" ”
This is arrogant enough, but this is also Chamberlain's intention.
The referee tossed the ball, and Heywood, who was already thirty years old, had a slight dip in his body, and his reflexes and body were not as good as Chamberlain, who gave the ball to Billups with an absolute advantage.
The confrontation between Billups and Kidd is also a highlight, these two old guys are the kind of old monsters who are old and strong.
To the shame of the star point guards of the current year, Paul is the only new-generation star in the top four assists per game list this season, and the remaining three are Nash, Billups and Kidd.
In the face of Kidd's defense, Billups jogged to the front court very calmly, he waved his teammates to split the run, Chamberlain helped him cover in the high post, and Kidd supported Chamberlain with his arm to wait for the upcoming pick-and-roll.
Haywood also defended, and he stared at Billups later in the game, in which case they were going to misplace, and as a result, Billups hoisted the ball directly to Oxlade-Chamberlain, who was standing next to Kidd.
Above Kidd's head, Chamberlain got the ball and slammed forward, and Kidd was knocked out.
Bumped into Kidd, Chamberlain raised his arm to shoot, Haywood was in a hurry, and immediately jumped and pounced.
When Heywood flew into the air, Chamberlain pulled down the ball that was about to be shot, and his body fell down again, like a cheetah attacking, his right hand slapped the ball quickly and skillfully, and his two long legs moved quickly, whistling towards the penalty area.
Nowitzki was stuck by Ibaka, Butler and others didn't have time to defend, Chamberlain rushed into the penalty area in stride, put away the ball and fixed it in the lower abdomen, he took two steps in a row and rushed to the basket, and his body twisted sideways and flew into the sky.
Like a falcon flying into the sky, Chamberlain's slender body stood straight in the air, he held the ball in his left hand and his left arm behind his back, caught the ball with his right hand, crossed a semicircle, and smashed the ball into the hoop with a bang.
Maverick fans were shocked by this opening slam dunk, Chamberlain crashed into one, shook one and then rushed into the penalty area to change hands behind the dunk was so hot that the fans at the scene were shaken.
After landing, Chamberlain happened to be next to the Mavericks' bench, Cuban sat on the bench in frustration, he rushed over and yelled at him: "Idiot, pay back!" Kill your team otherwise! ”
Kuban was so angry with him that his face turned pale, and he trembled his lips and said: "Bastard, bitch, too arrogant, God will punish your ......"
Dampier sits next to Cuban, who is 34 years old and is no longer the "second center in the West" who runs like the wind and is tall and strong, so he knows that if he wants to get a pension contract, he has to serve the big money owner Cuban well.
The fact that Cuban sent Guden away in cold blood also stimulated Dampier, because at the beginning of the deal, it was he who was supposed to send him away, and although Guden was soft, he was younger.
In addition, because of the acquisition of Thomas, Humphries and even Nowitzki, who can play as a cameo center, Dampier is not a reliable substitute.
So, Dampier decided to stand up for the money owner and shouted to Chamberlain: "It's just a dunk, I can dunk when I'm ten years old!" ”
Cuban also shouted: "Yes, you are dunking an empty basket, what is a dunk unguarded?" ”
Chamberlain didn't speak, he ran down with his head down, Cuban and Dampier looked at each other, the former patted the latter on the shoulder, and said, "Well done, man, we at least beat him mentally, and now he has nothing to say." ”
Dampier was encouraged by Kuban, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he wanted to kneel on the ground and say, 'What the master says is what the slave thinks'.
The core of the Mavericks' offense is naturally the partnership of Kidd and Nowitzki, especially the latter, who is still unstoppable on the court at the age of 32 this season. His unrivalled mid-range shooting skills are still a nightmare for any opponent.
It's worth mentioning that Nowitzki's 3-pointers, free-throw percentage, shooting percentage, and assists have improved without playing less minutes last season, which may have something to do with his contract year, and Nowitzki is re-signing this summer.
Billups stared at Kidd tightly, not daring to relax, considering that so far this season, the Mavericks have averaged 23 assists per game. 4 times, ranked 3rd in the league, which shows that they have a strong focus on teamwork, and their teamfight leader is Kidd.
Kidd slowly ran across the front court, his control rhythm looking a little messy, and it seemed like he could easily be tackled, but Billups didn't even look at the ball in his hand, he knew it was a trick used by the old monster to hope for a rookie.
I don't know how many times this season, there have been rookies who want to steal Kidd's ball to become famous in one fell swoop, but they have all been shaken badly.
Billups didn't fall for it, because he often deceived rookies like this.
After Kidd ran to the frontcourt, Nowitzki was waiting for him in the high post, he passed the ball calmly, he ran inside, Butler slipped the baseline and cut in, and Haywood went out to cover Nowitzki, and the Mavericks' offense was in order.
That's Carlisle's power, the handsome and young head coach who was once the successor to the old Nelson's meticulous tuning, and he did a really good job of leading the Mavericks to a very smooth development.
Haywood jammed Chamberlain strongly, and when the latter followed Nowitzki backwards, he saw Heywood's appearance with his peripheral vision, and he had already collided with it strongly, but Heywood snorted and did not give way.
Nowitzki got rid of Chamberlain in this way, and although Ibaka made up for it in time, in the face of Nowitzki's Golden Rooster Independence, his defense was not successful, and the ball fell into the hoop.
Billups took Jackson's serve, and Kidd changed tactics and went up to press. Billups didn't fight with him, and as soon as he pressed it, he immediately passed the ball to Curry.
Curry is a two-way guard, and organizing offense is also his strength, he ran quickly across the half court, took advantage of Jackson's cover to break through to the inside, Butler blocked, Curry held the ball in his right hand and pushed forward with his right shoulder, took a step forward with his left foot and then flicked his wrist to send the ball to the left hand.
After changing direction, Curry's body quickly took a step to the wing, pulled away from Butler's position, and rose to his feet - pass!
Chamberlain, who was in the penalty area, got up and took the ball off, Heywood followed with a tiger roar, raised his arms to jam Chamberlain's back, spread his legs, and his body center of gravity dropped slightly, and he squatted and carried Chamberlain.
Chamberlain showed a sneer on his face, his ****** pushed back hard, and the back that was as tough as an iron wall hit wildly continuously, 'Bang Bang', and a series of muffled sounds reached the ears of the surrounding players, and the two seven-foot men began to compete for strength on the inside.
Although Heywood was tough, many things on the battlefield could not be changed by determination and fighting spirit, Chamberlain used all his strength to hit him, which was no longer something he could bear in his thirties, he carried the first two blows, and the third blow finally couldn't stand it, and his footsteps slipped and he was knocked down.
Chamberlain knocked Haywood away, he was keenly aware of the opponent's concession, and then twisted his waist and staggered his body, put away the ball and stared at the hoop with his eyes, and stomped his feet on the ground fiercely, like a rocket rushing into the sky, like an angry dragon going out to sea, and rushed towards Haywood.
Heywood gritted his teeth and roared, "Don't think! He reached out and pushed Chamberlain in the chest, trying to push him down.
But he was retreating, so his arm strength was insufficient, and besides, he underestimated Chamberlain's determination to buckle violently!
The body was pushed backwards, but then, it was a faster take-off, Chamberlain's legs hit Heywood's chest, his crotch rode Heywood's shoulders, and he held the ball with both hands like a god wielding an axe, and smashed into the hoop!
