Legendary basketball manager

Look back to the field.

The Mavericks' show isn't over yet.

On the next possession, McGrady passed Marion's defense, but his pull-up jumper missed.

Kidd gets the rebound.

The Mavericks launched a counterattack again.

Terry, who was feeling hot, opened his hands for the ball while quickly following up.

During the transition between offense and defense, the Rockets' five players did not follow the arrangement to conduct matchup defense.

Curry switched defenses to Terry.

After Terry received the ball, he launched a single at a 45-degree angle on the left.

He dribbled the ball under his crotch, switched the ball to his left hand, and then made a beautiful crossover, shaking Curry's center of gravity away.

Seeing this, Terry immediately took a step back, further widening the distance between the two, and shot a three-pointer...

"Shu~"

Basketball hits the net!

9:5, the Mavericks expanded their lead.

As soon as the goal was scored, the fans at the scene cheered.

They are very pleased with the spirit shown by the team today.

Facing the league's No. [-] Rockets, the Mavericks showed a matching strength.

This made many fans see the hope of victory.

"Who wants to be the background board for historical records? Anyway, we Mavericks don't want to!"

A fan shouted passionately.

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

On the court, Curry half spit out his braces and raised his hand to signal to his teammates that the ball was his problem.

Then he came to the baseline to catch the ball and muttered, "Let me hit one."

McGrady smiled slightly when he heard the words: "Hit it, let go of it."

Yao Ming also touched his crew cut to show his encouragement.

An old Jianghu like Yao Mai discovered very early... After being selected as an All-Star, Curry's spirit has obviously improved a lot.

The young man is trying to be like a star, responding proactively when challenged by his opponent!

......

The game continued, Curry dribbled the ball across the half court, and signaled his teammates to pull away on the court.

Seeing this, Terry, instead of being nervous, smiled and clapped his hands.

"Come.on, little rookie!"

Clearly, Terry didn't take Curry too seriously in his second year.

But soon he stopped laughing.

Curry, who was dribbling the ball at a constant speed, suddenly sank his center of gravity, and at the same time stuck out his left hand and made an in&out feint.

Terry couldn't react in time, and hurriedly moved in small steps, afraid of being passed by.

But Curry did not choose to break through, but looked up at the basket, while his right hand approached his left hand.

This is his usual shooting style.

Terry knows that Curry has a trick of fake shots on the move (commonly known as worshiping Buddha).

But in the blink of an eye, he didn't have time to judge the authenticity, so he subconsciously took off.

After all, with Curry's shooting speed, Terry's reaction was too slow to interfere.

The results are predictable...

The next moment, Terry flew past Curry with a surprised expression.

The latter smiled slightly, took a step to adjust the center of gravity, and then calmly shot...

Bingo!

The three-point sword, the flames of hell!

9: 8.

The scores of the two teams are still tight.

In the next few minutes, the two sides maintained a balance of power, and no one could widen the gap.

It is worth mentioning that the ace players of both sides, Dirk Nowitzki and Tracy McGrady, have not yet entered "offensive mode".

They unanimously chose an organization-based style of play, trying to drive their teammates to play.

It wasn't until halfway through the first quarter that the two began to exert their strength.

It was Nuo Tianwang who took the lead.

Facing Griffin's defense, he succeeded in two consecutive backs in the low post.

But looking back, McGrady responded quickly.

He first used a super fast first step, passed Marion's defense, and easily completed a layup inside.

Then T-MAC played singles with the ball in the middle, pulling green onions on dry land and hitting a three-pointer.

The two super giants come and go, which also pushes the atmosphere to a climax.

Not only the fans, but even the Rockets' marshal Mark - Jackson watched with sweaty palms.

This half of the game can be regarded as the most intense since he coached the team.

The assistant coach saw that Griffin could not stop Nuo Tianwang, so he whispered into Mark Jackson's ear and said, "Should I replace Da Ben and strengthen the defense?"

The young Rocket Marshal thought for a moment: "Let the young man try again, I believe Blake can do it."

As soon as Mark Jackson finished speaking, Nowitzki launched another attack.

He catches the ball at the elbow, holds the ball in front of his chest with both hands, and senses the defense behind him with his back.

After suffering two losses, Griffin has also accumulated some experience.

He no longer focuses all his attention on physical confrontation, but keeps observing the change of the opponent's center of gravity.

Soon, Nowitzki moved!

He didn't drop the ball, but made two movements of shaking his shoulders left and right on the spot.

To Nuo Tianwang's surprise, Griffin's position was maintained very well, and his center of gravity was also very stable.

When a plan failed, Nowitzki immediately changed his tactics.

"Bang~"

"Bang~"

"Bang~"

The German chariot hit three times in a row, pushing Griffin back again and again.

But the latter is not worried.

After all, in the penalty area, there is still Yao Ming who is a pillar of the sky, always ready to protect the basket.

Griffin guessed that, regardless of the process, Nowitzki will eventually choose to shoot outside the restricted area.

It turns out that he guessed right!

After pressing deep, Nowitzki suddenly shifted his weight to his left foot and lifted his right knee.

This is Nuo Tianwang's signature stunt - golden rooster independence!

His raised right knee is like a natural barrier, separating himself from the defender by about half a body distance.

But Griffin has already figured out how to deal with it.

He turned sideways and jumped from Nowitzki's left side!

This was really beyond Nuo Tianwang's expectation.

But he has already taken off at this time, and it is difficult to make changes.

In the end, Griffin's finger touched the basketball and successfully blocked the shot.

Yao Ming also immediately controlled the falling basketball.

The Rockets took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack!

During the transition between offense and defense, Curry advanced with the ball at high speed.

He has hit two three-pointers before, and the Mavericks will be very afraid of him.

Just after Curry passed halftime, Kidd and Terry were ready to double-team.

But Rocket 30 did not panic at all.

From the corner of his eye, he observed Yao Ming who was following behind him, so he lowered his center of gravity and accelerated his breakthrough to the right.

Both Kidd and Terry are drawn to Curry and follow him to the right.

But Mengshen suddenly flicked his wrist, and with a pass behind the back, he killed the carbine!

After Dayao received the ball, the surrounding area opened up.

He raised the knife and hit a three-pointer!

At 28:25, the Rockets regained the lead.

"Yes!"

Mark Jackson on the sidelines clenched his fist excitedly.

Griffin's single defense success this time is very critical.

At this time, there are only 3 minutes left before the end of the first quarter.

The 10 players on the field have more or less entered a physical bottleneck period.

Mavericks coach Carlisle took the initiative to call a timeout.

The last time the two teams played against each other, the Mavericks used a short rotation in order to ensure the intensity of the game.

Only 8 people played in turn, which directly led to their physical disadvantage in the second half.

This time, Carlisle learned his lesson and expanded the rotation.

After the timeout ended, the four thirty-year-old men-Dirk Nowitzki, Kidd, Marion, and Terry all came off the court to rest.

Mavericks' lineup became: Barea, Stevenson, Butler, Mahinmi, Chandler.

The same is true for the Rockets.

Mark Jackson continued his usual style of bold substitutions, directly replacing all five main players!

At this time, the team's starting lineup became: Lowry, Roy, Danny Green, Yi Jianlian, Oden.

This lineup is a bit like the Magic's "one-star shooting".

The emperor guards the inside line.

The remaining four players all have outside shooting ability.

This is another bold attempt by Mark Jackson!

"Okay, now we have entered the first link of the game."

"As we all know, the Rockets' substitutes have the most firepower in the league!"

"It is very important for the Mavericks to be able to survive this period of time and ensure that the point difference will not be enlarged!"

Yang Jian commented in a timely manner.
