Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Spring of the Little People
Coach Hollins on the sidelines quickly called a timeout.
"I've seen a lot of hard-working people, and I've brought a lot of hard-working players, I haven't seen a 25-year-old player who is frequently broken through by a 35-year-old player, if you don't want to play, just tell me, I can apply to the general manager to replace you all, you idiots." Hollins almost roared.
Yes, it was intolerable in his eyes, and it would be the biggest irony and defeat for him to end the first half if they couldn't finish the first half by 15 points before half-time.
Yes, they beat the Lakers and Heat last week, and even beat the top-ranked Nuggets the previous week.
And the Dallas Mavericks are now in the sunset, and the core of the team is all about 35 years old, even if they can run to death, he doesn't understand why the game is in such a stalemate.
"Kenyon, when you get up, I need you to keep shooting threes, keep shooting baskets, keep fighting for every fucking rebound." Hollins yelled at Kenyandurin.
In fact, the players all know, and Hollins himself knows that the Mavericks are not so tight, after all, the championship is still there, and he just needs an attitude to come out now, and he can't see those casual behaviors on the court.
Looking at the Mavericks again, Carlisle was whispering something to Heywood, gesturing from time to time, as if to teach him how to get in place.
Nowitzki sat on the bench and gulped down water, which would keep him off the court, and even if he couldn't score points himself, he would be able to contain the opponent's defense as much as possible and create more open opportunities for his teammates.
He's very aware of that, the players on the pitch are aware of it, so even if he's starting to show his fatigue, he still needs to stay on the pitch and his role is irreplaceable.
Conley strode across the midfield, and several of the Mavericks' backcourt players barely posed a decent threat to him.
He used Li Ming's blocking and pick-and-roll to quickly insert to the basket to score two points and cheer up his teammates on the court.
The Mavericks have re-replaced Stevenson, and now he and Carter form the backcourt, after all, he has some defensive ability - if you have to choose a general among the shorties.
Carter's breakthrough was destroyed by Conley, and the ball was picked up by Li Ming, who was not greedy for credit, and passed it to Du Lin's hands as soon as possible.
Durin made a big windmill dunk in front of the empty basket.
The FedEx Center boiled again, "Wow, this kid is good!" Why haven't you seen him play before? ”
"Maybe it's a rookie, and I have to compete with Conley and Bayless for playing time, and I don't have a chance." The fan next to him took over the conversation.
Li Ming excitedly bumped shoulders with Du Lin to celebrate, "Damn, go defend." A black-faced Hollins pulled the two back to reality.
"Old thing, what do you want to do when you're ahead, the other party is not a soft persimmon, after all, it is also the championship team of the previous two years, after all, Nowitzki is still there, how can you kill him with a stick, you think it's magic." Li Ming muttered and ran back.
Nowitzki gave the ball to Marion at the free throw line, Marion shot directly, short, and the rebound was fought for by Randolph, only to see him make a long pass, and Durin ran out like a wild horse again.
“Du
k!!!”
"If Hollins is willing to give this kid a chance, he will have a lot of room to grow." Kenny Smith nodded approvingly.
"Well, yes, but what about it? After all, there are already Conley and Bayless on the team. Matt Bullard on the side said quietly.
"It's different, this kid's talent is still okay, it's just a lack of polish."
"If he can practice shooting well, yes, learn to shoot first, turn the body, the Grizzlies already have a Conley."
Nowitzki finally finished his shot with a big two-pointer.
Here, Kenyandurin barely gave the opponent any time to think and prepare, and received Conley's pass to complete a decisive three-point shot, and hit it steadily.
Hollins achieved his goal, tearing the Mavericks' defense from the outside, forcing them to go up, and then using Guy and Randolph to bombard their interior in turn.
Dülin on the Grizzlies' side scored 7 points in a row, and the Mavericks were a little confused.
After all, the real outside killer Conley hasn't shot yet.
Li Ming wiped his sweat, he could actually complete the three-point shot by himself, but he found that the assist was a happy thing.
Durin grinned at him after the goal, and he didn't dare to celebrate under Hollins' nose now.
Li Ming gave him a thumbs up, and then a look hinted that this kid was okay with his understanding, and immediately went to surround Stephenson, who was dribbling the ball.
The ball was due to Durin's sudden turnaround, and with the help of Guy, Stevenson missed again, and Li Ming took the lead.
Du Lin reciprocated with a precise long pass, leading Li Ming to the empty basket, and Li Ming pulled onions on dry land.
27-39, after a series of basket bombardments, the Grizzlies quickly pulled the score away.
What kind of knife is the knife, the golden wire big ring knife, the destructive power of the young Li Ming under the basket can be seen, and his terrifying physical fitness caused the audience to scream.
Carter, who is also a buckleman, was also surprised.
“Oh,come o
!! You have got be kiddi
g me!!” Matt Brad screamed and grabbed his head.
That jump height, that stretch, this ball must be the top five balls of the week, or even the top five of the month.
The Mavericks stumbled and finally got under the basket and Marion made a stoppage.
However, he immediately turned back and was hit by a counterattack by Durin, who passed through the defense of two men and gave the ball to the empty Randolph, and the big black bear roared and pressed the ball into the basket.
Durin brushed up for another assist, and he made a gesture toward Hollins on the sidelines and patted his biceps.
Nowitzki started to dribble at the top of the arc, and as he saw the margin growing, he was about to hit the success rate.
He first gave the ball to Carter, who fell into the low post, and Carter gave the ball to Marion, who cut into the basket under the top defense of Li Ming.
Marion broke through at high speed and jumped after a return pass that tried to return the pass to Nowitzki, who had retreated beyond the three-point line.
"Come back!!" Li Ming sensed their true purpose, and had already destroyed the ball the moment it flew to it, and Randolph stubbornly protected the falling ball in his arms.
Li Ming commanded Durin to run towards you, and he himself went around to Randolph's side to answer him.
Immediately, a long pass accurately found Durin who was already down. Here, Haywood also tried his best to get a good position under the basket in advance.
