At the end of the third quarter, the score was 62-54.

Although Xu Yong and Yao Ming both played successively, Nowitzki scored 18 points and 2 assists on 8-of-9 shooting in the third quarter, and under his leadership, the Mavericks successfully narrowed the gap.

Although the Mavericks only chased 3 points in this quarter before the start of the second half, in fact, the Bulls had already stretched the difference to 16 points when he came on the court, so in a real sense, it was Nowitzki who chased 8 points after he came on the court.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Xu Yong rested off the court.

He played the whole third quarter, and he was the main offense on the offensive end, and he had to chase Terry on the defensive end, which was a lot of physical consumption.

He was in the same mood as he was in the third quarter, still shocked by Nowitzki's performance.

He didn't know how Nowitzki did it, maybe people would be able to fight like this after a fever with their heads hollowed out and no distractions.

But with the mentality of an apprentice, Nowitzki taught him a vivid lesson tonight.

It's not a good thing to say, but maybe if he encounters this situation one day in the future, he might have a chance to play like this.

On the field, Rose was on a staggered trip.

Thibodeau's rotation in the second half was very personal.

Because Nowitzki played well in the third quarter, he couldn't have played the whole second half with his physical condition.

That broke Rose and Xu Yong together, the Bulls could maintain the intensity on the court, but the Mavericks couldn't.

And Ross's ability to travel off-peak was proven during the Finals.

However, the charm of the game of basketball lies in the uncertainty.

Rose did play in this segment, but the Mavericks, who had performed well in the divisional competition, but Puerto Rico, which had been silent in the Finals, also played.

Barria blossomed inside and out, leading the Mavericks and Bulls to a stalemate with a fast-paced style of play.

The final quarter played for almost five minutes, and the score on the court was 72-66 at this time, and the Mavericks not only did not get pulled away, but narrowed the gap by 2 points.

This is the team with the strongest resilience in this year's playoffs and has completed two big reversals in a row, just like a realistic version of the unbeatable Xiaoqiang.

And the 6-point difference made the game full of uncertainty.

Whether Nowitzki can continue to play magically in the third quarter and whether the Bulls can hold on to their advantage are all things to watch for in the last seven minutes.

After coming on the court, Xu Yong deliberately glanced at Nowitzki's expression.

Although his face seemed a little flushed, Nowitzki's mental state looked similar to that of the third quarter.

It seems that this last quarter of the game will not be easy.

At this time, the lineups of both sides on the court, Bulls: Rose, Xu Yong, Artest, Battier, Yao Ming;

Mavericks: Kidd, Terry, Marion, Nowitzki, Chandler.

Up to the Bulls ball possession.

Yao Ming singled Chandler in the low post and successfully created a kill and got two free throws.

Because the Mavericks are man-to-man most of the time, Yao Ming has the most space to play tonight since the Finals.

And by the end of the third quarter, Chandler had come out of his extraordinary state.

Yao Ming went to the free throw line and hit both free throws in the face of interference.

74 to 66.

The 8-point difference is also a hurdle that the Mavericks have not been able to continue to approach in the third quarter.

Nowitzki continued to receive the ball in the high post, and this time Carlisle was very thorough, except for Kidd, who was ready to pass the ball at a 45° angle of the three-point line, and the other three were all pulled to the weak side.

Kidd passes the ball in, and Rose shrinks at Thibodeau's behest.

Nowitzki gave the ball back to Kidd, who didn't hesitate to throw it.

"Phew!"

The ball slammed into the front of the basket, but bounced off and fell into the net pocket a second time.

Maybe it was Nowitzki's willpower that touched God, and God chose to side with the Mavericks!

This three points has a great impact on the situation.

Because for a long time before, the score difference fluctuated between 6~10 points, but this time it broke through to 5 points.

It's not just about the difference, it's about the psychology.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The Dallas fans at the scene were quick to show this psychological change with a shout.

The overwhelming crowd made the players on the field feel their eardrums buzzing.

Thibodeau couldn't sit still either, he got up and walked to the sidelines, staring at the front.

If the Bulls are reversed tonight, the team's morale will likely collapse.

Carlisle was also on the sidelines at this time, from the Mavericks' point of view, and if he played this kind of momentum tonight and finally failed to turn around, it would be a big blow to their confidence.

You know that the Mavericks are where they are today because they believe they can do it.

That self-confidence, like faith, collapses when it is broken.

Carlisle commanded from the sidelines, and Chandler played around Yao Ming in the low post.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The Dallas fans also continued to cheer the home team on their feet.

Rose couldn't give the ball in, tried to burst but couldn't find a chance, and finally dribbled the ball back to the perimeter.

Xu Yong beckoned for the ball at this time.

After Xu Yong got the ball, he beckoned Yao Ming to pull to the right high post to block and dismantle.

Yao Ming took Kidd down after dismantling it.

Xu Yong made a pass to the basket, forcing Chandler to retreat and turn his head to help defense, and then jump directly outside the three-point line.

The suddenness of McSley's pulling, Chandler was too late to react, so he could only raise his hands high.

Xu Yong completely ignored this interference, and after staying in the air, he completed the two-stage shot.

"Huh!"

Xu Yong showed the psychological quality ability of the key ball and directly hit this answerball!

77 to 69.

The point difference was pulled back to 8 points!

Just like his dunk in the third quarter, the cheering on the scene stopped abruptly again.

And in order to continue to boost morale, Xu Yong also made his trademark hand-to-hand celebration.

This scene was captured by the photographer on the large LED screen of the scene, and the scene was immediately restless.

Xu Yong is really, very badly beaten!

Is this guy really a sophomore, though?

Is this psychological quality what a normal 20-year-old person should have?

Turning around, Nowitzki continued to receive the ball high post.

Because Kidd had just scored three points, Rose didn't dare to shrink too thoroughly at this time, and could only semi-shrink.

Artest also kept giving Nowitzki confrontation at this time.

Although he has suffered a lot in defending Nowitzki in terms of height, he is well suited in other areas.

And Artest also has a high defensive IQ, and he is stuck in the crotch at this time Nowitzki to turn around to the bottom line.

Because Rose is a half-pinch, if Nowitzki turns to the side of the three-point line, he will encounter Rose's pinch, and the shot will be interfered with.

Nowitzki chose to turn towards the baseline, but he didn't turn back after finding that he was stuck, but jumped back with one foot.

Artest jumped up to interfere, but the difference in height made it difficult for him to interfere with Nowitzki, and the ball was more about Nowitzki's own touch.

"Huh!"

Nowitzki immediately told everyone with a hollow shot that he was still on fire in the third quarter!

In fact, Nowitzki was also worried about his temperature rising after the third quarter, so he kept drinking water on the sidelines.

Fortunately, he was sweating all the time in the second half, and his body temperature remained relatively low as the sweat evaporated.

77 to 71.

The difference was narrowed to 6 points.

And the Bulls advanced to the frontcourt, and Xu Yonggang encountered a pinch attack as soon as he received the ball.

Obviously, Xu Yong's celebration just now was a bit irritating to the Mavericks.

But that's what Xu Yong wants.

Yao Ming has an obvious advantage on the inside, and it is more conducive to him to attract the defense to play.

He gave the ball to Rose after the pinch shot was formed, forcing the Mavericks to help with the rotation.

Rose's choice at this time was no problem, he received the ball and faced Marion who assisted in the defense, and directly faked the attack, and forced Chandler to help defend and stuffed the ball to Yao Ming under the basket.

After Yao Ming got the ball, he directly clasped with both hands to complete the finish.

From this round, you can feel the growth of the Bulls.

Maybe they didn't have as many games in the division as the Mavericks, but after two high-intensity games in a row, from the coaching staff to the players, they are constantly adapting and adjusting, and by now, they have obviously matured a lot.

"I don't feel like we're playing a game with them." In the back row of the audience, Harden's eyes widened at this time and he sighed.

Originally, he thought that the West Final and the Mavericks were fierce enough, but compared to tonight's game, it was really not at the same level.

Neither DeRozan nor Ayers on the side spoke, because they were almost feeling the same way at this time.

Aels, in particular, felt that the Mavericks' state tonight had been reversed if it had been the Heat on the other side instead of the Bulls.

Almost all three of them were determined that they would have to work harder than they had done this summer.

As players, they also want to experience this high level of play, but only if they are capable of it.

As they spoke, Nowitzki hit another jumper in front of Artest on the court.

For two consecutive rounds, Nowitzki was using his height to eat Artest.

And back on the defensive end, Battier also missed a good three-pointer.

With Chandler shielded by defensive rebounds, the Mavericks now have a chance to close the deficit to less than five points.

"Come on! Mavericks! ”

It is unknown how many times the shouts of the Dallas fans were heard, and although some of them were hoarse by this time, their shouts were still as firm as they were at the beginning.

Xu Yong found Artest in the retreat.

When the Mavericks advanced to the front court and Nowitzki was ready to continue to ask for the ball, everyone found that the defender of Nowitzki had changed from Artest to Xu Yong.

The span of this pair is a bit large, Nowitzki is the No. 3 position, the No. 4 position, and Xu Yong, the direct No. 2 position, to defend the No. 4 position.

But don't say it, it's really like that.

Although Xu Yong is the No. 2 position on the field and suffers from weight, he is about the same height as Battier, and he has an advantage over Artest in height.

Nowitzki singled with the ball and tried to use his weight to press Xu Yong, but he soon found that Xu Yong's confrontation was stronger than he expected.

He chiseled twice and then chose to turn and break through.

However, just as he turned around, Xu Yong quickly stabbed the ball directly.

It's just a pity that the ball was stabbed and went directly out of bounds, and it was still the Mavericks' possession.

The sideline ball was issued, Nowitzki continued to hold the ball, and Xu Yong also continued to defend against the ball with his face, and was ready to make a move at any time.

That's right, Nowitzki's style of play is similar to Durant, and Xu Yong is defending Nowitzki in the same way as defending Durant.

Nowitzki was forced to continue with his back, and this time he didn't hit hard, only chiseling and then turning around and using his trademark Golden Rooster Independence.

It was at this moment that Xu Yong realized why this trick could not be prevented, because it was a little dirty.

The so-called Golden Rooster Independence is a .jpg action of leaning back, but exerting force with one foot and bending the knee with the other foot to create shooting space.

Usually shooting only talks about the auxiliary hand, and few have heard of the auxiliary foot, but now you see it.

The bent knees are like a hooligan hook in the back of a car, and you avoid it when you see it.

If you really try to jump up and block it, you run the risk of being pushed to the knee in the abdomen.

Even if you jump too high, you have to weigh whether your second brother is hard enough.

Xu Yong jumped on the spot and tried to solve the problem with a bounce, but Nowitzki turned up the flinch and completed the shot with an ultra-high angle of flinch.

After the basketball crosses a parabola in the air.

"Huh!"

Still fell steadily into the net bag.

Coming back in the fourth quarter, Nowitzki hit three more in a row.

79 to 75.

And after he hit that shot, the Mavericks narrowed the deficit to less than five points for the first time since the second half.

Thibodeau called a timeout.

The shouts of "MVP" resounded in the arena at the American Airlines Center.

Although Nowitzki is not the MVP of the year, he has always been the MVP of Dallas.

Nowitzki also responded with a clapping hand as he left the court.

"The basketball god didn't take off his No. 41 jersey." On the commentary bench, Barkley sighed again.

At this moment, everyone who supports the Mavericks, even many neutral fans, feels like they are witnessing the birth of an epic.

Nowitzki will eventually lead the Mavericks to a comeback tonight, just as Jordan did on the Finals stage 14 years ago.

When the game was suspended, Thibodeau directly pulled Xu Yong to him.

"I don't need to defend Dirk, I don't need you to expend all that energy on the defensive end, I need you to score, understand? I need you to shoot those balls! ”

Thibodeau's decibels were a little loud, and it could be seen that he was in a hurry at the moment.

Xu Yong nodded vigorously.

Thibodeau's reminder was timely, he used too much energy in the third quarter to be able to pick up on offense and defense in the final quarter, not to mention Nowitzki's heat in the second half, and he may not be able to limit it.

As long as they can score on the offensive end, they will still have the better chance of winning if they have the lead.

Seeing Xu Yong's reaction, Thibodeau punched him in the chest, then picked up the tactical board and began to set it up.

Coming back from the timeout, the Bulls made changes to the lineup, replacing Rose and Battier with Hinrich and O'Neal Jr.

Thibodeau was a bit over-the-top in his rotation tonight, keeping three points on the court to shoot three-pointers to keep the space on the court.

"Xu, come on." In the stands, Harden couldn't help but speak.

Nowitzki's performance tonight is destined to go down in history, and it depends on whether Xu Yong can leave his mark on this night in history.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The Dallas fans couldn't sit still at this point and got up and started cheering for the home team.

There are still more than three minutes left before the end of the game, and the difference of four points is completely time.

Even if they can defend the Bulls this round, they have a chance to narrow the gap to one goal.

After the Bulls advanced to the frontcourt, they put on an offensive formation similar to that of the Mavericks, and all the others on the strong side were pulled to the weak side except for Hinrich, who was ready to be fed.

And Xu Yong is on the outside, and his movements after receiving the ball are faster than Nowitzki, and he directly brushes the baseline past Kidd and breaks through to the basket after receiving the ball.

Kidd tugged at Seo Yong's jersey with small movements, struggling to catch up.

But Xu Yong made a stop-and-go jumper, and Kidd was taken out of the baseline without stopping the car.

The fans were stunned.

Xu Yong's explosive power of starting and stopping is too strong.

"Huh!"

Under the gaze of the elder Kidd, Xu Yong hit this jumper steadily.

81 to 75.

The difference is still 6 points.

The scene was in an uproar.

Xu Yong's goal, as well as the way he scored, was too much of a blow to the Mavericks' confidence.

The 6-point hurdle the Mavericks just couldn't get past tonight.

"We still have time! Keep fighting! Carlisle waved and shouted from the sidelines.

The Mavericks' offense, Nowitzki is resting.

Reality is not a game, singles is very physically demanding, especially in a game of this intensity, you must take a break after playing several times in a row.

The rest of the Mavericks were running tactics, but after the Bulls hit the ball just now, the morale of the Bulls had returned, and the defensive enthusiasm was full.

The Mavericks had only seven or eight seconds left and still didn't have a chance.

Nowitzki took a deep breath and got the ball with his back to O'Neal Jr. outside the three-point line.

Without much time to prepare, he went straight to the frame and then made a stop-and-go jumper.

He also knew that the ball was difficult to hit, and after seeing O'Neal Jr. being picked up, he consciously leaned towards him.

Although little O'Neill reacted, he couldn't hide in the air.

In the end, Nowitzki was knocked to the ground on his back, and the referee's whistle sounded.

It's purely game experience, and he gets a lot of free throws when he plays the Thunder, and a big part of the reason is that Ibaka likes to jump too much.

Nowitzki went to the free throw line and hit both free throws at the MVP of the game to close the gap to four points again.

This is really a god-like play that keeps the Mavericks alive with hope of victory.

And when he retreated to the defensive end, the defender of Seo Yong was changed from Kidd to Marion.

Carlisle's adjustment was timely, and the two sides were almost playing open cards at this point, which was to fight Xu Yong and Nowitzki's finishing efficiency.

Artest tried to cut to the basket, but Kidd followed closely and Chandler shrank to the three-second mark.

Finally, after trying to misplace, Xu Yong motioned for Hinrich to move outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, and after opening up the distance with Marion, he directly chose the basket.

Falling step, one step bursting, accelerating, changing direction without slowing down, Xu Yong passed Marion directly.

But Marion's long arm actually slapped the ball in Xu Yong's hand and directly slapped the ball out of bounds.

There was a burst of cheers from the audience.

Carlisle reached out and touched his chin, he should now regret that he didn't arrange Marion to defend Xu Yong earlier.

Fortunately, the ball is still with the Bulls.

The Bulls sent the ball from the baseline, and Xu Yong continued to play singles in front of the basket.

At this time, looking at Marion again, he was much more cautious.

Marion's defensive characteristics are well-rounded, with long reach, agility, and strength, and he is a rare player like Draymond Green who can defend from 1 to 5.

He didn't choose to break straight to the basket, but broke to the baseline to seek an opportunity for a pull-up jump shot.

Marion has maintained a defensive position.

Xu Yong chose to shoot with a stop-and-go shot from about 14 feet from the basket.

Because Kidd was shaken down by Seo Yong's emergency stop in front, Marion's ball was basically an instinctive small jump.

But it was this time that Xu Yong grabbed him, and his beautiful steps turned around directly.

But Marion once again showed his top-notch flexibility, struggling to get off the ground again.

But who would have thought that Xu Yong didn't make a move at the first time, but jumped up and leaned back .gif after he started to fall.

This time, even Marion could only look at the ball and sigh.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound of entering the net, Xu Yong hit this beautiful step-back jumper.

At the same time, it was also the second goal he hit in a row after returning from a timeout.

The scene was agitated.

Stevenson, Kidd, Marion, the three most defensible of the Mavericks took turns to defend Xu Yong tonight, but none of them could prevent it.

No one can come!

Barkley glanced at the time, and there was only one and a half minutes left in the game.

With Xu Yong's two key goals, the Bulls still firmly grasped the 6-point lead.

Nowitzki's night of the gods is likely to fall short.

"Come on! Mavericks! ”

Of course, the fans in Dallas haven't given up, and they can't give up either.

Nearly the entire stadium was already standing and cheering.

Nowitzki and Kidd got into a pick-and-roll.

After dismantling, Kidd returned the ball to Nowitzki, and Nowitzki shot a three-point shot directly at Hinrich.

Because the time and point difference have not been close, the Mavericks must rush to attack at this time.

The chances of this goal are not good, but ......

"Huh!"

Nowitzki continued his miracle and still hit this three-pointer!

After hitting the three-pointer, Nowitzki threw his hands up in the air and made his trademark three-point celebration .jpg.

83 to 80.

For the first time, the difference between the two sides came to a single goal.

Nowitzki scored another 11 points in a single quarter, and he had already scored 30 points in the second half, a god-like performance.

The Bulls had one last timeout, but Thibodeau didn't bark.

With 45 seconds left before the end of the match, the next round of attack and defense will be crucial.

If the Mavericks want to win a chance to equalize, they will have to defend this round.

And as long as the Bulls score in this round, they can basically win the game.

Thibodeau did not take a timeout to make adjustments, and the Bulls continued to stick to their original game strategy.

The others pulled away, and Hinrich moved to the three-point line at the top of the arc after feeding, leaving plenty of space for Xu Yong to play alone.

Although this scene looks magical, Xu Yong, as a second-year student, now has the opportunity to make a difference on the stage of the finals.

This time he chose to move and play, because in the last round he found that Marion was more afraid of his shots, so the defensive range was a bit big, which is a detail that can be exploited.

He changed direction continuously, and then looked at the basket one by one.

Sure enough, Marion pounced directly on him.

But in the next moment, he directly used his explosive power to accelerate, and passed through Marion and Terry who was making up for the defense in one step.

Marion wanted to chase after discovering that he had made a mistake in judgment, but his steps had already been taken, and this time his body and footsteps were in the wrong direction, and he fell directly to the ground!

In the uproar of the fans, Xu Yong had already rushed into the interior with great strides, jumping high before Chandler could return to defense......

"Bang!"

Both hands smashed the ball into .gif basket.

Because of the fierce charge, the muscles of his arms bulged and swung on the basket for a moment before hitting the ground.

The Dallas fans in the stadium were all staring in disbelief.

Xu Yong's key goal was not only scored, but also in such a calm and violent way.

"God! He's a cold-blooded killer! Barkley was dumbfounded.

After failing to defend Nowitzki in that round, Xu Yong came back with three consecutive five-goal goals to kill the Mavericks' hopes of a comeback.

Moreover, it is still under the backdrop of Nowitzki's god-like play.

"No, he's Satan." Smith corrected.

Satan, the king of demons from hell, is much more cruel than a cold-blooded killer.

Barkley froze for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.

On the field, Carlisle called a timeout.

When Xu Yong came off the field, he was greeted with crazy celebration from the bench.

Xu Yong's last three minutes were single-handedly helping the Bulls harvest the game.

Xu Yong's performance in this section was almost perfect, except that he didn't press the time for this attack just now, and now he still has 35 seconds left for the Mavericks.

That means if the Mavericks can pull off a quick offense, they can choose to defend the Bulls on the last leg and then look for a tie or even a kill.

That would be far better than their chances of stealing the shot and then sending the Bulls to the free-throw line.

Of course, the risk is that if this wave of rapid attacks fails to score, the game will be declared over.

That's the NBA countdown game, a few seconds more or a few seconds less, and the outcome of the game can be very different.

The timeout was unusually long, and many Dallas fans were praying with the Lone Star Republic flag in their hands.

More people put their hands to their chests and take deep breaths.

"Tom, I'm going to defend Dirk." On the Bulls' bench, Xu Yong took the initiative to ask Thibodeau.

By this point, fitness was no longer important, and he wanted to try again.

Thibodeau agreed, on the one hand, O'Neill Jr.'s defense against Nowitzki was really not good;

On the other hand, if the Bulls can finally win this game, then Xu Yong is definitely the first hero, and he deserves a chance to prove himself again.

Coming back from the timeout, Kidd held the ball at the back and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.

In the frontcourt, Nowitzki has already completed the placement ahead of schedule.

Carlisle's final choice was indeed to grab a quick two-pointer.

Kidd quickly fed the ball in, Nowitzki hit Xu Yong with his back, and then quickly turned to the golden rooster to stand alone.

Without any foreplay, this wave focuses on a one-knife straight in.

However, this is precisely the key to Xu Yong's initiative to ask for Ying, because he predicted Nowitzki's offensive options.

So before Nowitzki could turn around, he had used his puppy footwork to dodge to the side, then jumped from the side almost at the same time as Nowitzki, and then grabbed the ball in Nowitzki's hand.

No move is invincible, and the turn and leaning back as strong as Jordan has also been blocked by many people.

Nowitzki's Golden Rooster Independence is the same, his support foot is more aimed at the defender in front of him, and he can't interfere with the defense on the side.

Nowitzki only spotted Xu Yong coming from the side like a goshawk pounced on a rabbit at the moment of his shot, and his eyes were full of surprise.

He didn't know how Xu Yong discovered the weakness of his move, and he didn't know when Xu Yong pounced.

But that didn't matter anymore, because all he could do at this time was to raise the angle of his shot as high as possible.

He made a backward shot at his maximum, but it still couldn't escape Xu Yong's clutches.

Xu Yong, born as a buckle general, is good at bouncing.

"Smack!"

In everyone's stunned eyes, Xu Yong came directly in the air for a nine-day moon, and directly pocketed Nowitzki's shot!

It's a cap, but it's also a cap!

Moreover, it is a lore!

Cap lore!

After landing, Xu Yong held the ball high for the first time.

Thibodeau on the sidelines was quick at this time and called the last timeout.

The Dallas fans were all in disbelief.

No one blames Nowitzki, without whom the Mavericks would not have been able to make it to the end.

And not to mention Nowitzki, no one thought that Xu Yong would do this, and moreover, he could do it.

Xu Yong!

After using a quasi-lore that almost sealed the victory, Xu Yong directly extinguished the Mavericks' last hope with such a cap.

"Larry Bird is right." Barkley said with a wry smile at the commentary seat at this time.

What he said was a bit of a beginning, but he already understood everything.

"God put on the number 23 shirt", these are the words of Bird and known to almost all fans around the world.

This has also become one of the classic remarks of many blowing Jordan.

But in fact, just like many sentences that are only remembered for the first half of the sentence, but the second half of the sentence is completely different, such as "genius is 99 percent perspiration plus 1 percent inspiration, and the most important thing is 1 percent inspiration", this sentence is actually taken out of context as standard.

Because how could a king like Bird blow Jordan?

The original text of the sentence is: God put on the number 23 jersey, but we beat him.

Yes, tonight the basketball god put on the number 41 jersey, but Satan put an end to him.

And this sentence is so reasonable, if God will be terminated one day, then it will be Satan, the demon king from hell, who will end him.

Coming back from the timeout, the sideline ball was sent out, and the Mavericks tried to steal, but after the Bulls used Yao Ming as the fulcrum to pass back and forth a few times, the Mavericks were forced to foul.

Seo Yong was sent to the free throw line.

"Whew~"

Xu Yongchang exhaled, and then hit the first penalty steadily against the sound of interference.

Then, there is the second penalty.

87 to 80.

These two free throws sealed the win for the Bulls.

The Mavericks eventually opted for a three-pointer, Chandler grabbed a frontcourt rebound, and Terry scored a three-pointer at the end, but the time was up.

87-83, the Bulls finally defeated the Mavericks by 4 points and won the epic battle.

The Bulls' bench began to celebrate, and after winning such a game, their morale was straight up.

On the other side of the Mavericks' bench, Nowitzki was lying on the bench, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up, which was very distressing.

The camera captured this scene, and the scene resounded with thunderous applause.

Although the Mavericks still lost in the end, Nowitzki still played a great game.

He scored four points on 1-of-8 shooting in the first half and 30 points on 12-of-15 shooting in the second half, scoring a game-high 34 points.

And the key is that this is a game played in a feverish state, which is enough to look at Jordan's "war on the flu".

Although, it was brutally ended by Xu Yong.

The players on the field had already started the post-game handshake, Xu Yong didn't see Nowitzki, and when he saw Nowitzki being helped to sit on the sidelines, he walked straight over.

This scene was followed by the photographer at the scene in time, and the fans who had not yet left the stadium were also full of curiosity.

Xu Yong walked up to Nowitzki, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You played a great game. ”

Nowitzki let out a long breath of hot air when he heard this, then got up and gave Xu Yong a hot hug.

It was really hot, and Xu Yong felt that Nowitzki's whole body was hot.

"Take him for treatment." Xu Yong then turned his head and said to the Mavericks team doctor on the side.

The team doctor nodded, and together with Xu Yong, he helped Nowitzki to the player's tunnel.

There was a round of applause.

The so-called heroes cherish heroes, although Xu Yong won, but he admires Nowitzki for what he did tonight.

And although the fans don't like this person who "ruined" Nowitzki's battle for the gods, Xu Yong won openly, which is at least worthy of their respect.

When he arrived at the entrance of the players' tunnel, other staff members came, and Xu Yong did not continue to go inside.

He then turned back, and by this time Harden and the others were already rushing towards him in front of Swift.

"You're the Godslayer!" Harden jumped directly on top of him and gave him a big bear hug .gif, almost knocking Xu Yonggan to the ground.

Nowitzki's performance is crazy, but what about Xu Yong?

27 points in the whole game, 20 points in the second half, 11 points in a single quarter in the final quarter, especially the three consecutive goals in the final moment, all of them were murderous.

Not to mention that grab hat at Nowitzki, it's so handsome that it explodes.

After chatting with Harden for a while, Xu Yong found that Swift was waiting for him on the side.

He said hello to Harden, and then under the envious eyes of the three of them, he and Swift got tired of it.

Of course, it was brief, because Malone had already come over and called him for an interview with reporters.

And at this time, the fans on social media have already flipped over.

"This is the Finals, a great game, and thanks to the Bulls and Mavericks, my polluted eyes in the Eastern Conference Finals are back in sight." From the comment of "KBfnas".

"Nowitzki played a halftime 30-point performance with a fever of 40 degrees at his peak, and he deserved all the applause tonight."

"The basketball god wore the No. 41 jersey, but the Bulls beat it."

"Godkiller, Satan."

"I'm a Mavericks fan, if it weren't for Xu, it would have been us who won tonight, although it was very uncomfortable, but we must pay the greatest respect to Xu."

"Great game, great opponents, the Mavericks have played back and forth with the Bulls when everyone is not favored, and they deserve respect as well."

"Xu is going to be a superstar, this is his second year, and he looks so mature." From the review of "KBforever".

"Agreed, although this has something to do with the strength of the Bulls, Xu has saved the team at many key moments, and if the Bulls end up winning the championship, I will vote for his FMVP."

"Come on, Bulls, charge towards the seventh crown!"

……

"Dirk is a legend, I never think he's 'soft' as the outside world says, because it's not the way of playing that decides whether soft and hard is the way of playing. No, the real toughness is the choices and performances that people make when they are in trouble, and he taught me a lesson tonight. ”

At the press conference, Xu Yong, who became the focus of questions from the audience, did not hesitate to praise Nowitzki when asked what he thought of Nowitzki.

He dared to say this.

Nowitzki, because he is German, has always been unpopular in the American media.

Garnett's mid-pitch is called Iron Blood, and Nowitzki's Golden Rooster Independence is a soft, standard American-style double standard.

Now Xu Yong is so openly praised as an opponent, which is really bold.

"If the Mavericks end up winning the game, do you think it's going to be a worse ending tonight?" A local reporter in Dallas asked.

Xu Yong nodded.

His reaction also immediately attracted a burst of surprised eyes from the people below, because it was in Dallas, and now many of the reporters below are local.

'But I have to do my best to help the team win, no one wants to be a loser, but that's the beauty of competitive sports, giving it your all for the same goal, and I think that's what the fans want to see, no matter which of us has the last laugh.'

Xu Yong's next words also seemed very cultured.

This also earned him a round of applause.

Compared with others who set up a love to read character, and only read the first page of the book, Xu Yong, a reborn person, is obviously much more literate in this regard.

After the press conference, after making an appointment for Swift to attend her concert in the summer and then putting her on the plane, Xu Yong then went to party with Harden.

It was at this time that Harden patted his chest and said that the three of them were going to live in Dallas for the next few days.

"We don't want to miss your championship moment." Harden threw over a mouthful of poisoned milk, and Xu Yong smiled calmly.

Cricket Harden, not the Barkley guy.

But he couldn't help but think of Kobe Bryant at this time.

After Kobe Bryant won the championship in '08, he returned to the NBA to start a two-game winning streak.

His words and Yao Ming helped the Chinese team win the cup at the World Championships, and now they can already see the shadow of the championship trophy.

And it's wonderful to be a world champion at the end of the first year and an NBA champion at the end of the second year.

But he quickly pulled his mind back, the finals were only halfway through, and it was a little too early to think about this.

"If that's what you say, I'll wear the Devils' jersey and go to the championship parade, round it up, and you'll win the championship together."

Xu Yong's words made the other three laugh.

But in their hearts, they are looking forward to it more and more.

It's been the next day, brothers, but I didn't expect to really force myself to do it! Brothers, take a walk with a monthly pass, make up for it all, love you!
