Legendary basketball manager

Time passed by minute by minute.

After the Yao-Mai combination and Curry appeared on the stage, the Rockets' offensive firepower was indeed greatly enhanced.

The Mavericks will try their best to defend, but they still lose sight of others.

However, this does not mean that the Rockets opened the score smoothly.

On the contrary, when the halftime ended, the score was fixed at 70:70...

The two teams returned to the same starting line!

The Mavericks couldn't defend, but they were able to catch up with the score.

The reason is not difficult to guess - they got more points than the Rockets.

Among the Mavericks, there is only one person who can do this...and that is Nowitzki!

In the last few minutes of the second quarter, the German chariot insisted against Ben Wallace's defense and scored 10 points alone!

His method of dealing with Daben is also very simple, which can be summed up in twelve words-stay away from the inside, reduce dribbling, and shoot decisively.

With these twelve-character mantras, Nowitzki fired shots near the free throw line and outside the three-point line one after another.

Ben Wallace has strength and bounces very well, but it is difficult to pose a threat to Nuo Tianwang.

On the contrary, he made several offensive behaviors in defense and paid the price of fouls.

Nowitzki just used singles again and again to narrow the point difference for the Mavericks.

At the end of halftime, Big Ben walked into the tunnel without saying a word.

Since his physical recovery, this is the first time he has been deflated in a single defense!

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

During the break between festivals, Shen Fei tapped his fingers on the chair surface in the stands, and his brain was spinning rapidly.

Nowitzki's sudden outburst at the end of the quarter actually gave him a big reminder.

Some superstars, such as Dirk Nowitzki today, Kobe Bryant before, James, Wade in the future...

Once they break out, any single defense may lose its effect.

Even a defensive gate like Daben sometimes suffers.

So...how can the Rockets win games when their opponents are superstars?

Shen Fei thought for a moment, and got his own answer - attack against attack!

Since any super giant can only be restricted and cannot be completely prevented from death, the only way to defeat the explosive super giant is to have a star in the team who can match it, or even better.

Are there any super giants in the Rockets?

The future Curry is undoubtedly a super giant, but he is still a little underwhelmed in the second grade.

After recovering their health, Yao and Mai can be regarded as super giant goalkeepers. It will take time to test when they can become real super giants.

From the current point of view, Shen Fei is very confident that T-MAC will break through the cocoon and become a butterfly, and make further progress.

But in the final analysis, the gold content of stars depends on their performance in key games.

Can McGrady respond to Nowitzki in the second half?Can Yao Ming and Curry break out?

Thinking of this, Shen Fei couldn't help but began to look forward to the performance of the three of them in the second half.

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

As soon as the screen changed, we came to the Rockets locker room.

In the past, during the break between festivals, all the Rockets generals talked and laughed, very relaxed.

But today the situation is very different.

Da Ben looked down at his shoes with a dark face, wondering what he was thinking.

Curry half-sucked his braces, and his expression was extremely serious.

No one spoke in the entire locker room, and it was so quiet that the sound of drinking water could be heard.

Mark Jackson couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the appearance of everyone, and said with hatred:

"Who can tell me what the current score is?"

"A tie at halftime means that the game is lost? Why are everyone downcast?!"

"I'm used to playing with the wind, and I've forgotten about the headwind... Oh no, it can't be called the headwind now, I've forgotten how to play the normal game, right?"

Mark Jackson threw out three questions at once, causing the Rockets to look at each other in dismay.

"Ben, in fact, you have no problems at all."

"Dirk's hand suddenly exploded. This is something we didn't expect."

The rocket young marshal continued.

Big Ben nodded.

After all, he was an old player, and after a while, he had already come out of his lost mood.

From the moment he walked into the player tunnel, Daben kept reviewing the last few minutes of the game in his heart.

The conclusion he came to was not far from Mark Jackson's.

The only difference is that Ben Wallace feels that there are some details that he can do better.

[Perhaps, with those points done, Dirk won't be able to get the ball into the basket. ]

This is Daben's mentality.

"I don't know if you guys noticed, but the Mavericks shot a ridiculously high percentage in the first half."

"I don't believe they can maintain such a touch in the second half."

"So, in the second half, our tactics will remain the same, and we will play as we want."

"Everyone must believe that if you do the right thing, the victory will eventually belong to the stronger side."

Mark - Jackson vowed to say.

At this time, Yao Ming, who had been silent all this time, suddenly got up, walked to the middle of the locker room, and asked:

"So... who is the stronger side?"

After finishing speaking, Dayao stretched out his right hand.

The next moment, the Rockets, including Mark Jackson, stepped forward and folded their hands together:

"of course..."

“Houston Rockets!!!”

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

On the other end of the court, the Mavericks' locker room.

The Dallas Cowboys all looked calm, not complacent because of the small climax at the end of the second quarter.

But behind the calmness, the eyes of Nowitzki, Kidd, Terry and others were full of fighting spirit.

"Coach, your analysis was too correct!"

"The Rockets are very good at blowing up opponents in waves. But as long as we can maintain a stable mentality, we have a chance to catch up with the score."

Terry smiled.

"Don't be too happy."

"It can be seen that they are a little slack today, maybe they feel that we are determined."

Kidd shook his head and said.

He has experienced many battles, and it is easy to see the opponent's game attitude.

The Rockets came with a 29-game winning streak.

A little bit of arrogance and slack is also human nature.

"You mean, the Rockets will show more intensity in the second half?"

Terry asked.

"Of course. The second half was the real test for us."

"Don't forget, we played so well, it was just a tie with the Rockets."

"To win this game, we must show the state just at the end of the quarter!"

Kidd said solemnly.

Terry nodded, and other Mavericks players on the scene also showed approval.

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

Time flies, and the third quarter is about to start in a blink of an eye.

In the second half, both teams fielded their starting lineups.

Mavericks go first!

Kidd passed the half court with the ball and came to the top of the arc to organize.

Nowitzki moved quickly to the low post and used his generous frame to get into position.

Griffin gritted his teeth and defended behind him with all his strength.

Seeing that the timing was right, Kidd passed the ball with a hit.

At this moment, George, who was ambushing in the bottom corner, suddenly rushed out and rushed towards Nowitzki.

Pickled Pepper's attack was very decisive and ferocious, without any hesitation.

Nuo Tianwang stooped to compete with George for the ball while grabbing Griffin behind him.

"Bang~"

In the blink of an eye, Nowitzki and Pickled Pepper collided.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded and George was whistled for a defensive foul.

The two are fine.

After the steal failed, not only was George not discouraged, he just shook his head regretfully.

"Pity."

McGrady stepped forward to give him a high five.

"Well, just a little bit."

George's eyes were full of fighting spirit.

The two smiled at each other.

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

"As soon as the second half started, the Rockets stepped up their intensity."

"Next, let's see how the Mavericks respond."

Yang Jian commented in a timely manner.
