Legendary basketball manager

Rocket bench.

Mark Jackson is cheering the players on.

Curry on the side listened quietly.

He just wants to know when he can play again.

The game was over with about 6 minutes left, and there was not much time left for Curry.

"Stephen?"

Mark Jackson's voice pulled him back from his thoughts.

"You have to be ready, you have to play in three minutes, understand?"

"Yes! Don't worry, Coach!"

Curry responded quickly.

When he looked up, he realized that his teammates were all looking at him.

"It's just a little setback."

"Since the referee dares to target you, you have to use 'basketball' to repay him."

Maddie said with a smile.

"That's it~"

"They will definitely not let it go today, and you will have to play in a while."

Yao Ming also agreed.

The two big men of the team have said so, and Curry is naturally encouraged, and there is a smile on his face again.

"Okay, all the tactics that need to be said have been said."

"The next few minutes are very important. After we get through it, the Mavericks will dissipate."

"In a word, keep down the tempo, hit the success rate, and don't give them a chance to counterattack."

Mark Jackson asked.

Look at the Mavericks again.

There was a small climax in the final quarter, and the Mavericks were very excited.

In particular, the two most outstanding players-Marion and Butler were unanimously praised by their teammates.

But the two of them just tried their best.

Although only 5 minutes had passed, both of them were sweating profusely, obviously exhausted.

Carlisle struck while the iron was hot, and said with a smile:

"Now the point difference is only [-] points, most of the time in the quarter is completely enough for us to complete the comeback."

"Dirk, you need to take over the game next!"

Nowitzki nodded calmly.

He's already turned the tide in a number of games this season.

Whether it is himself or other teammates, they all have absolute confidence in the driver.

"Winner and loser, it depends on the next half, continue the momentum just now!"

Carlisle mobilized.

The Maverick generals nodded one after another.

Their eyes were blazing, obviously seeing the hope of victory!

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

The time-out is over and the game continues.

"Welcome back!"

"It can be seen that after the timeout, both sides have deployed the strongest lineup as possible."

"The Mavericks seem to be going to the end of the offense. They retained Butler and Marion, who had just performed well, as a forward partner, and Nowitzki topped the center position."

"On the back line, there are still Kidd and Terry, this duo who is attacked once and defends once."

"On the Rockets' side, except for Curry who stayed off the court due to foul problems, the rest of the main players came on the court in full."

"Although Lowry performed poorly before, Mark Jackson still chose to believe in him and still let him stay on the court."

Yu Jia introduced.

"here we go!"

Yang Yi said excitedly.

Rocket serves.

Lowry held the ball through half court and handed the ball to Tracy McGrady.

Kidd, who was in charge of defending T-MAC, posted it immediately, not giving the former a chance to easily handle the ball.

Facing the close pressing, McGrady remained calm.

He holds the ball with one hand and puts the ball behind him.

McGrady's excellent wingspan made Kidd even have no desire to try to draw the ball.

But Old Kidd was experienced, he stuck T-MAC firmly with his lower limbs, and kept pushing forward with his chest.

McGrady was observing the situation on the court, but when Kidd hit him like this, the pivot foot accidentally moved a small step.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded, and the referee directly gave a walking violation.

This made McGrady laugh out loud.

"He doesn't hit me, can I move that step?"

T-MAC walked up to the referee and asked.

The linesman ignored him, but went straight to the tee box and handed the ball to the Mavericks.

McGrady shook his head speechlessly and began to retreat.

Offensive and defensive conversion.

Nowitzki stepped down near the free throw line and got stuck for the ball.

Although Daben is very strong, he is not as tall as the driver after all.

After the latter got stuck, he easily completed the catch.

But in the moment after receiving the ball, Nowitzki felt the pressure from behind.

The sense of oppression given by Big Ben has risen to a higher level than in the third quarter!

McGrady on the side glanced at the free throw line from the corner of his eye.

Dude, Nowitzki was also taken a step back by Big Ben Kidd.

Whether it is the action or the reaction when being hit, it is exactly the same as McGrady just now.

T-MAC immediately signaled to the line referee: "Did you see it?!"

The line judge gave a smug smile and ignored it.

Nowitzki also quickly adapted to this defensive intensity.

He held the ball in both hands, raised it behind his head, and then took a hard step forward with his right foot to the left.

Big Ben had no choice but to retreat.

If the top is hard this time, it will definitely violate the opponent's cylinder.

Seeing Ben Wallace step back, Nowitzki immediately withdrew his right foot and pulled out his hand on the spot...

"Shu~"

Basketball hollow into the net!

87: 95.

The point difference between the two teams has officially returned to single digits!

After scoring, Nowitzki was very excited.

He punched the air fiercely, venting the backlog of emotions since the third quarter!

After the German chariot left the field, he kept thinking about how to deal with Daben's aggressive defense.

In the end, the answer he got was - shooting!

Take advantage of your height to shoot!

This answer may seem too simple, but it makes sense when you think about it carefully.

If you want to beat your opponent on the basketball court, you should use your strengths to beat your opponent's weaknesses.

Ben Wallace's defense is impeccable, the only shortcoming is his lack of height.

As long as Big Ben can't take off fully, Nowitzki can take it calmly!

In this attack, he used his footsteps to make Ben Wallace have to retreat, successfully preventing the latter from taking off in time to block the shot.

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

After changing sides, McGrady dribbled the ball through half court.

Facing Butler's defense, T-MAC dribbled the ball from his crotch to his left hand, then suddenly sank his center of gravity and made a breakthrough.

But the next moment, without warning, he suddenly pulled up...

With Butler's flustered expression, McGrady kicked scissors and completed the shot.

"Shu~"

The arc of the ball is very flat, but the trajectory is very positive, and it falls straight into the net.

Answer. ball!

At 87:98, the point difference returned to double digits.

Butler covered his head in frustration, but Nowitzki immediately stretched out his hands and made a downward movement, indicating that "the problem is not big."

In the next round, the German tanks tried a new attack method.

The previous rest allowed him to recover well.

This time, Nowitzki started a high-intensity off-ball movement like a shooting guard.

Then, with the help of Kidd's pick-and-roll, he successfully got rid of Ben Wallace's defense.

After receiving the ball from the outside, the driver faced Lowry and shot a three-pointer...

Bingo!

90: 98!

"Oh my god, the competition has entered a fever pitch now."

"The leading stars of the two teams have begun to take over the game, and the response to the ball is one after another!"

Yang Yi explained in a timely manner.

Rocket attack.

McGrady holds the ball at the top of the arc, waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack.

Dayao stepped forward and set up a cover for him.

T-MAC flicked in&out with his right hand, then made a small change of direction, and then bypassed Yao Ming's pick-and-roll.

Butler was shaken first, then blocked by Dayao, and immediately lost his defensive position.

However, just as McGrady was about to speed up and break through Nowitzki, the referee's whistle sounded again!

Yao Ming's mobile screen foul!

As soon as the penalty was issued, before Yao Mai could react, Mark Jackson on the sidelines went mad first!

He roared and rushed to the technical table, and slammed the table hard.

"Isn't it too much? Is there anyone who blows the game like this?!"

Mark Jackson yelled at one of the referees.

The staff at the technical desk at the side were obviously taken aback, and stood there in a daze.

The referee's eyes dodged a little, and he didn't dare to look into Mark Jackson's eyes, but his mouth was still tough:

"Yao Ming's problem with moving screens has been there since he entered the league."

"You are the coach of the Rockets, don't you know that?"

Mark Jackson laughed angrily when he heard this.

"Let's not talk about the moving screens that Yao was blown in the past. Is there any problem?"

"Even if, as you say, he used to run illegal pick-and-rolls."

"But what was a person before must be the same now?"

"What's wrong with Yao's pick-and-roll just now?! You can call up the replay and check frame by frame!"

In the 10-11 season, the NBA has not fully introduced video playback technology.

During this period, even if the referee watched the replay, he could not change the penalty.

Therefore, Mark Jackson's request is not actually for commuting the sentence.

All he wanted was to seek justice for Yao Ming!

The referee became more and more guilty and didn't even dare to speak back.

At this time, the referee in the distance rushed over and directly made a "T" gesture to Mark Jackson.

The second technical foul of the game still fell to the Rockets.

Mark Jackson refused to let go, and sprayed wildly at the referee again.

Knowing that the assistant coach of the Rockets felt, Mark Jackson's anger calmed down a little when he hugged him around the waist.

In the end, the Rockets coach led the second technical foul and was ejected for the first time in his coaching career.

Mark Jackson turned livid and walked towards the player tunnel.

When he passed the Rockets bench, Curry suddenly said: "The Rockets will definitely win this game, I promise."

Mark Jackson turned his head and forced a smile: "Waiting for your good news."

After all, he left the stadium amidst the boos of the fans.

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

At this time, the atmosphere on the court was a little delicate.

Players are different from fans, they know very well whether there is a problem with the referee's penalty.

For example, Caron Butler, he knew very well that Yao Ming didn't move when he squeezed through the screen just now.

Nowitzki had also been away for a long time before and knew the situation equally.

Therefore, when Mark - Jackson rushed to the technical stage, the German tank also sighed.

This is not the first time he has experienced this kind of scene.

As early as 06, he experienced it once in the finals.

It's just that the Mavericks were the victims that time.

Nowitzki was angry back then, but there was nothing he could do.

Now, he feels wrong, but he can't seem to change anything.

[Do you just look down on us like that...]

[Without your help, can we defeat the Rockets? ]

The more Nowitzki thought about it, the more annoying he became.

Finally, he raised his hand and called his teammates to his side: "I don't want to make a technical free throw, what do you think?"

The Mavericks looked at each other and immediately understood what the driver meant.

"You decide, I support you unconditionally."

Terry took the lead.

"Anyway, it's just a regular season. Besides, even without these two free throws, our morale is high and we have a chance to come back."

Kidd also expressed his attitude.

The team bosses have said so, but Butler and Marion naturally have no objection.

Nowitzki nodded slightly and stood at the free throw line.

Fans at the American Airlines Center just finished watching the replay on the big screen, and at this moment also understand the truth of the matter.

"fxxk, it's really disappointing for the referee to do this!"

"Whistle off like this, even if we win, what do the fans of other teams think of us?"

"It's not like we're incapable of winning, why are we bragging like that?"

"A few times before, I felt weird and thought it was the home whistle. Now it's the last moment, and the players should decide the game themselves!"

......

There was a lot of discussion in the stands.

Nowitzki at the free throw line also looked serious.

After receiving the referee's pass, he didn't dribble the ball and shot directly.

"Duang!"

The ball hit the backboard hard and bounced a long way.
