Chapter 25 Mavericks
Dallas Mavericks
As one of the richest bosses in nba, as the strangest boss in nba, Mark Cuban can be said to have worked hard. He wanted to build a championship-level team, but it was always a hair's breadth away.It seems that God is having a hard time with this talented, offensively powerful Mavericks team.

Last year in 06, the Mavericks reached the finals for the first time in team history. Facing the Heat, they took the lead and won two games in a row. With a scientific goal, the Heat pulled four games in a row, and the Mavericks sadly lost the championship trophy that they were about to get.

The Mavericks made a comeback this year. The regular season achieved a record of 67 wins and 15 losses. The leading star German chariot Dirk Nowitzki won the first regular season MVP trophy in the history of the Mavericks. The team entered the playoffs with high morale When he was about to do a lot of fighting, he met the Golden State Warriors led by old Nelson. This group of gangsters blocked the boss of the Western Conference abruptly; His glorious mission nailed the Mavericks to the pillar of shame forever.

At this time, Zheng Ke, who came to the American Airlines Center Stadium, the home of the Mavericks, was stunned by the scene in front of him. The American Airlines Center Stadium is the most luxurious stadium in the entire NBA. The team's locker room has improved a lot, including the Timberwolves Arena Target Center.But the Mavericks' arena doesn't exist at all. Maybe they are very confident in their strength, maybe they don't bother to use this kind of trick.

As the league is now stronger or weaker than the Timberwolves, its market appeal is obviously not strong. In the huge arena, only [-] to [-] people come here, which makes the fans who have been advocating their team the best. The fiery big boss Cuban is a bit embarrassed. There is no way. Except for a few teams such as the Rockets and the Lakers, the rest of the NBA is losing money. That means Cuban has money, otherwise the Mavericks would not have grown up to where they are today this strength.

At this time, Zheng Ke and others had finished the pre-match ceremony, and the game officially started!

Although the attention of this game is not very high, but as the ESPN commentator Barkley, the two best partners of Smith came to the scene and explained the game.

Smith was the first to open the conversation: "What do you think of this game, Charles?"

Barkley had been prepared for a long time, flipped his two fat intestines up and down, and said in one sentence: "I think the Timberwolves will win this game!"

"Oh?" Smith was surprised: "This is different from the views of many media before the game. They generally believe that the Mavericks will beat the Timberwolves."

Barkley raised his eyebrows and analyzed triumphantly: "The Timberwolves' new inside star Jefferson is an excellent low-post attacker. Outside Telfair, Gosman, and Zheng Ke all have a certain three-point shooting ability. As long as the inside is open In this situation, the Timberwolves have a chance. Besides, they have lost three games in a row. There is an old saying in China that "a sad soldier must win"! So I am sure that the Timberwolves will play at a high level, at least they will not let the Dallas people take the victory so easily. !"

Smith retorted: "But the Mavericks are a strong force in the West after all, and their strength has been recognized! I think the Mavericks will easily beat the Timberwolves."

Barkley said disdainfully: "So what, they were defeated by others in the first round? The Mavericks will never win the championship if the German doesn't toughen his style!"

"It's not like that, Charles!" Seeing the unfriendly eyes of the fans around him, Smith wiped his sweat and said, "The Mavericks were unlucky in the past two years, but they still have the strength, and there is still a great chance this year." the "championship"

Seeing that Barkley was still struggling with this topic, Smith quickly opened his mouth to divert his attention: "Don't you want everyone to use that fat big butt like you to be called a tough guy?"

"."

"."

After teasing each other for a while, the two finally explained the live game as the game officially started.

The Timberwolves lost the jump ball to the Mavericks. After all, Jefferson was a bit shorter than the King of Nuo, and with his wingspan, Nowitzki easily dialed the basketball.

Mavs starting lineup: PG: Devin Harris, SG: Jason Terry, SF: Josh Howard, PF: Nowitzki, C: Brandon Bass

Timberwolves starting lineup: point guard: Telfair, shooting guard: McCants, small forward: Zheng Ke, power forward: Brewer, center: Jefferson
In this game, Gosman was put on the bench again, and Zheng Ke started instead of Gosman.Zheng Ke's opponent in this game is this black and strong guy in front of him-Josh Howard!
Josh Howard is one of the representatives of the golden draft generation in 03. This year is his peak year. Historically, he will average 19.9 points and 7 rebounds per game this year. The reality is the same. Through the eyes of the sky, Zheng Ke saw that Josh Howard's ability value reached 82!The defensive score reached 88.

The fact is also true, this unattractive guy is the mainstay of the Mavericks' defense, if Nowitzki is the sharpest and sharpest horn of the Mavericks, then Josh Howard is the hardest cowhide of the Mavericks, resisting the enemy's toughest every day Sharp offense.

Zheng Ke and Josh Howard play similar defensive roles in the team. Zheng Ke's increasingly excellent defense has become the core of the Timberwolves' perimeter defense today.But the difference is that Josh Howard also shoulders important offensive responsibilities.His excellent low post game will stand up when the Mavericks can't open the game, and he has excellent wingspan and super athletic ability. Whenever Nowitzki is double-teamed, he can also throw in the mid-range and long-range goals. , so it is only right that Josh Howard can occupy a place in the Mavericks' perimeter where there are so many strong men.

Nuo Tianwang singled out Jefferson, and after two squeezes, he found that he couldn't squeeze. He mumbled to himself: "The young people nowadays are as hard as rocks." a ball.

"Strike, Nowitzki hit easily, Jefferson's interference is very weak!" Smith said for Nowitzki.

Barkley retorted: "It's just an ordinary goal, and the Timberwolves boys will return it soon."

As soon as the words fell, Jefferson hit a ball with a small hook with his left hand and completed a response ball.

"Good shot!" Barkley yelled, startling Smith, but Barkley didn't finish, he praised like a string of cannonballs: "Jefferson's ball fully demonstrated his excellent physical fitness and good attitude. Shooting touch, this traditional center-style style of play is gradually extinct in today's NBA, and maybe O'Neal and Yao Ming will play like this. Seeing Jefferson's outstanding performance, I seem to see my 20-year-old shadow. "

Three black lines appeared on Smith's head: "Don't you dare to be unruly? Jefferson is 2 meters tall, and you seem to be only 08 meters?"

"Fart, I'm 1 meter 98!"

Two people gag is very lively.

The commentary booth was full of joy and laughter, and the game was in full swing. Jefferson was busy fighting with Nuo Tianwang, Brewer and Bass were playing soy sauce, and Josh Howard hadn't found a strategy to deal with Zheng Ke's tough defense for a while. It was not easy for Terry to beat McCants, but Devon Harris was suddenly very happy.

Devon Harris is an extremely fast point guard. Later generations of Chinese fans call him "Pluto". His current speed has reached 95, which is 9 points higher than Zheng Kedu. This is Zheng Ke There is no one of the fastest players I have seen since entering the NBA.

The Timberwolves' point guard is Telfair. Although he is very young and handles the ball very well, he is not very fast.He had nothing to do with Harris' brainless breakthrough, and the Timberwolves' defense line was smashed to pieces for a while.

The Timberwolves are in trouble
