Legendary basketball manager

65: 48.

In fact, the two quarters have not yet been played, and the Mavericks got this score, which is not low.

In the current league, scoring 50 points at halftime is definitely above the passing line.

However, the opponent that the Mavericks are facing today - the Rockets, the offensive efficiency is too terrifying.

In fact, except for being caught off guard by "Ultimate Basketball" in the second quarter, the Mavericks played very well the rest of the time.

This is why Carlisle has always maintained a very high level of confidence.

[Your rocket can't be so fierce all game, can it? ]

He thought so in his heart.

Therefore, when Nowitzki hit a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court, Carlisle saw the hope of a comeback!

And he holds the same view, as well as fans of the American Airlines Center.

Driven by Cuban, Mavericks fans worked very hard to cheer up the players.

It can be said that at this moment they have become the sixth man of the team!

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

......

Amid the shouts of unity, the adrenaline of the Mavericks players was secreted crazily, and each of them seemed to forget their fatigue and began to "upper their bodies" for the Rockets.

Bear the brunt of Kidd.

The old Kidd doesn't have many shots now, but the defense is definitely still online.

He saw that Curry's current lack of confrontation ability, so he used frequent physical contact to interfere with the latter's rhythm.

Moreover, Kidd controlled the defensive scale very well.

He didn't rush forward, nor did he rush to steal. Instead, he created more physical confrontation without losing his position.

This trick worked well. Curry was a little embarrassed by the defense, and kept retreating to try to distance himself from Kidd.

But the old Kidd also has a good sense of space, and he is well versed in the principle of the enemy retreating and advancing, and has always maintained a position one step ahead of Curry.

After being lucky for a few seconds, his mentality gradually became irritable.

And his teammates haven't run out of space, and he doesn't have a good pass option.

"Oh, forget it..."

Curry murmured, and then directly shot a three-pointer to meet the old Kidd...

Such a choice was completely beyond Kidd's expectations.

[I didn't lose my position at all, and you are still two meters away from the three-point line, why did you make a shot? ]

Kidd was speechless.

Moreover, Curry's shot is extremely fast, from making a knee-bending movement to the final wrist-pressing shot, it took less than half a second!

This directly led to the step distance that Kidd released, so that he had no chance to interfere with the shot at all.

"Shu~"

Basketball hollow into the net...

The voices of the fans in the audience disappeared instantly.

An old fan shook his hands helplessly and sat back in his seat.

"It doesn't make sense at all. How do you fight? Jason has no problem at all!"

He complained to the friends around him, but got the same helpless response.

After the goal, Curry smacked his chest and pointed to the sky.

For some reason, when the Mavericks fans set off the atmosphere, instead of feeling nervous, he felt inexplicably excited.

Now Curry only feels that there is infinite energy in his body, and he just wants to vent it in the game!

............

Just as the Mavericks fans sighed, the three referees on the field exchanged glances.

The referee nodded and silently put the whistle in his mouth.

The game continues.

After changing sides, Kidd passed the half court with the ball.

Curry, who is in a state of excitement, is also working hard on the defensive end.

Thinking of how Kidd got on a lot of body when defending him, Curry decided to return it in the same way.

I saw him taking a stride, approaching Kidd suddenly, and then learning the latter's defensive strategy just now, constantly exerting physical resistance with his chest.

However, within two seconds of Curry's imitation, there was a "beep" from the sidelines.

"Rocket 30, blocking foul!"

The referee said to the technical stage while making gestures.

Curry's eyes widened, his head in his hands, and he looked confused.

"That's how he defended me just now!"

Meng was so angry that he took the braces out of his mouth, and went forward to discuss with the referee.

The referee backed away again and again, not communicating with him at all.

Seeing that Curry was agitated, McGrady quickly stopped him: "Forget it, it's just the home whistle."

Hearing Big Brother's persuasion, Mengshen quickly controlled his emotions and didn't say anything more.

In addition, as the Rockets have fouled more than 5 times in this section, Kidd went directly to the free throw line.

After two free throws, the point difference between the two teams was reduced to 10 points.

Offensive and defensive transition, Curry passed the half court with the ball.

Although he was a little angry just now, he didn't get emotional because of it.

After reaching the top of the arc, Curry calmly observed the movement of his teammates.

Seeing that his attention was elsewhere, Kidd made a decisive leap forward and reached out to break Curry's ball.

However, Mengshen reacted very quickly, and quickly turned sideways, trying to use his body to separate the opponent from the basketball.

However, Kidd did not give up.

He fine-tuned his footsteps and shot again from a very tricky angle.

From the perspective of God, it can be seen that Kidd wants to cut in from the side to avoid Curry's ball protector.

But in the blink of an eye, he didn't grasp the angle...

As soon as he made contact with the ball, his shoulder slammed into Curry's body hard.

With a bang, Curry staggered back, completely losing control of the ball.

After Kidd intercepted the ball, he paused for half a second. After realizing that the referee had made no sign, he immediately accelerated to launch a counterattack.

Curry, who came back to his senses, spread his hands in the direction of the referee while struggling to chase back.

But within a few steps, Kidd in front of him seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Curry was not fully focused, and accidentally bumped into it.

"oh shit!"

Kidd yelled and fell forward in "pain" while throwing the basketball in his hand towards the basket.

The ball hit the center of the backboard impartially and bounced magically into the net.

At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded again-Curry made a defensive foul!

Kidd scored two points and added a penalty!

All the Mavericks rushed to Old Kidd and excitedly pulled him up.

The fans at the scene also recovered the momentum just now, and began to make waves again.

Some are happy, some are worried.

Curry laughed back angrily, shaking his head constantly.

As Kidd walked to the free throw line, he walked up to the lineman and whispered:

"When I attacked just now, you were by my side... Kidd's steal, was there really no foul?"

The lineman smiled slightly: "There was indeed some small physical contact, but he touched the basketball first."

"???"

Curry looked questioning.

Kidd's ball, said Potian also touched the ball while hitting him.

Because logically speaking, Curry's body is between basketball and Kidd.

Only by letting the former "give way" can it be possible to grab the ball.

However, the referee's words also made Curry sober.

He knew that reasoning was useless.

In the next game, the Rockets will encounter the previous "bias call".

[Take me to the knife, right?Come on then. ]

Curry chewed his braces hard twice, thinking to himself.

............

With Kidd making an additional penalty, the score became 68:53, with less than 1 minute left in the second quarter.

Curry advances with the ball.

This time he changed his strategy, and after halftime, he handed over the ball, and he started running without the ball.

Along the way, both Dayao and Griffin actively helped Curry set up pick-and-rolls.

Obviously, everyone saw that Mengshen was irritated and wanted to help him get back.

However, the Mavericks are very well prepared before the game.

In response to Curry's flexible movement, head coach Carlisle specifically emphasized that in addition to defenders, other players should also help defend at any time.

Therefore, when Kidd was delayed by the pick-and-roll, Terry decisively gave up his matchup player to help his teammates make up for it.

Kidd immediately turned around and ran to McGrady, who was facing Terry.

The well-trained Mavericks, relying on the overall defense, stubbornly resisted the talented Rockets.

However, Curry is not so easy to defend after all.

After running to the bottom corner, he deliberately slowed down, as if he had given up attacking.

But when Terry relaxed his vigilance a little, Curry suddenly ran back, and then accelerated from the left corner to the right corner.

Along the way, Dayao got off his horse and made a solid pick-and-roll for him.

However, just when Curry finally got rid of Terry...

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded again and again.

Curry turned his head blankly and looked at the referee.

"Number 11, Yao Ming, move the pick and roll!"

The referee pronounced.

Now, it was Dayao who was confused.

He raised his right hand, pointed his index finger at himself, and repeatedly confirmed with the referee that he was the one who committed the foul.

After getting an affirmative answer, Yao Ming couldn't help but smile wryly.

To block Terry's small body, do you still need to move the pick-and-roll?

Just outrageous!

Dayao shook his head, ready to turn around to defend.

Curry on the side was completely restless.

Although he was mentally prepared, the referee's shamelessness far exceeded his expectations.

Curry, who has always been kind, roared and walked towards the referee.

The originally fair skin became rosy due to the surge of energy and blood.

However, the referee didn't give in to him at all.

He directly raised the knife and used a "t" to respond to Curry's anger.

Mengshen was not frightened by the technical foul at all, and continued to "greeting" the referee endlessly.

Dayao was worried that he would be directly expelled, so he hurried forward and hugged Curry.

"Don't be angry, halftime is over soon, we are discussing what to do during the intermission."

Yao Ming patted Curry's crew cut, persuading him.

With great difficulty, the little brother was calmed down.

At the same time, Nowitzki walked to the free throw line and made a steady technical free throw.

Then, Kidd came to the sideline, ready to throw the ball in bounds.

Curry gritted his braces and walked up to Kidd.

It can be seen from Curry's demeanor and body language that he is very upset now.

"Young man, it's all necessary energy, sometimes you just have to do your own thing."

Kidd said lightly.

When he said this, he really didn't want to be cheap and act like a good boy.

It's just that as a veteran who has been in the league for many years, Kidd knows the methods of the league too well.

The "public enemy" of the league like the Rockets is almost a big devil. It is not surprising that the league favors the other side in order to make the game more suspenseful.

In particular, the big boss of the Rockets——Shen Fei, acted in a high-profile way, and stood on the opposite side of Nike.

Who doesn't know that the current NBA is dominated by Nike?

"If you don't serve the ball again, you will have a five-second violation."

Curry didn't want to heed Kidd's remarks.

Old Kidd smiled and said nothing more.

Soon, the ball was handed over to Nowitzki.

After he caught the ball, he raised his hand and tricked Griffin into jumping up.

George on the side reacted immediately, ready to defend.

Nowitzki didn't give a chance, and took a jump shot with an emergency stop...

"Shu~"

68:56, only 12 points left.

If you enter the second half with such a point difference, the Mavericks have every chance to turn the game over!

And now, there are only 23 seconds left before halftime.

The Rockets have the last chance to attack!
