Legendary basketball manager

Yi Jianlian looks dull, but his heart is actually very sensitive.

He can quickly feel the attitude of others.

Like now.

As soon as Ah Lian played, he felt the disdain from the Mavericks from the players to the fans.

He pursed his lips, putting irrelevant emotions behind him.

The UAE knows that being replaced at such a critical moment means that the coach has high hopes for him.

He didn't want to live up to that hope.

But at the same time, the United Arab Emirates also know the difficulty.

The biggest problem facing him now is how to defend Nowitzki next.

The two have faced off multiple times early in the fourth quarter.

The battle situation can be summed up in one sentence - Nowitzki crushed the game ruthlessly.

He can get anything and everything he wants from A Lian, and he uses all kinds of offensive methods like a duck to water.

[In any case, we must never let him succeed easily...]

Yi Jianlian secretly made up his mind.

The game restarts.

Mavericks attack.

Kidd holds the ball and organizes the offense at the top of the arc.

Nowitzki pocketed from the bottom line on the right and came to the low post on the left to ask for the ball.

United gritted its teeth, and after a physical confrontation, it successfully went around to the front of the German tank and interfered with its reception.

But the one responsible for passing the ball is Kidd, one of the top passers in NBA history!

With a high lob, he just passed the fingertips of the UAE and successfully handed the ball into the hands of Nowitzki.

Yi Jianlian failed to defend around the front, and after the driver caught the ball, there was an open space in front of him.

Yao Ming at the other end of the basket just wanted to make up the defense, but Nowitzki had already completed a layup.

120:125, the Mavericks lead by 5 points!

As soon as the goal was scored, the emotions of the fans at the scene reached their peak.

"Hahaha I laughed so hard. The defense seemed to have worked hard, but it was ironic that Dirk scored easily."

"In the arena, the result speaks for itself. What's the point of working hard and desperately... In my opinion, Yi Jianlian came up to give Dirk points!"

Mavericks fans had joy written all over their faces at the prospect of beating the league leaders and ending their winning streak.

When Curry dribbled forward from the backcourt, the Mavericks fans stood up and began to shout:

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

"defense!!!"

.......

Amidst the deafening sound, Curry once again played a pick-and-roll tactic with Tracy McGrady.

With the experience of last time, Kidd and Terry chose to switch defenses directly this time.

So after the pick-and-roll, the old Kidd stood in front of Curry.

But Mengshen did not greedy for credit, but passed the ball to McGrady who was stuck at the free throw line.

Compared with defending Kidd many times in singles, Curry believes that t-mac singles Terry is more confident!

But the Mavericks did not want the Rockets to do so.

After McGrady received the ball, Nowitzki resolutely gave up defending Yi Jianlian and came to help Terry defend.

t-mac waved his hand and immediately passed the ball to Ah Lian in the bottom corner.

In a hurry, McGrady's passing quality is not high.

In order to catch the ball, Yi Jianlian had to take a step sideways, and then jumped up high before successfully catching the ball.

But in this way, the fighter plane was also delayed.

Peja has switched defenses to Yi Jianlian.

If it is normal, the UAE may pass back to the defender and reorganize the offense.

But now the offensive time is running out, and the team urgently needs to chase points.

Ah Lian glanced at the white shooter in front of him.

[He's shorter than me, can't jump without me, and leaves room for me to take a step...]

[Have the opportunity! ]

At this thought, Ah Lian immediately sank his weight, bent his knees and took off.

He wants to stand against the opponent's defense and force a shot!

Although Peja was surprised by Yi Jianlian's offensive choice, he immediately rushed forward and took off to interfere.

Of course, with his bounce, it is naturally impossible to prevent the UAE from shooting.

The basketball arcs through the air like a rainbow...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

123:125, the Rockets narrowed the point difference to two points!

This three-pointer was like a silencer, instantly silenced the fans at the American Airlines Center.

"This Chinese man... has such a hard hand."

"My God, he was so decisive at the critical moment, he dared to shoot Peja in the face! No wonder Mark Jackson would replace him on purpose."

"It should be to use offense to make up for defense. With such an extra point, we will not dare to double-team McGrady and Curry."

There was more or less surprise in the tone of the Mavericks fans.

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

The time came to the last minute.

At the decisive moment, the ball will naturally be handed over to the head star.

But this time, Yi Jianlian forced Nowitzki to find no chance to catch the ball through active running.

The two fought frantically in the low post.

The intensity of the confrontation can be seen from the two people's skin changing from white to red.

There was even a bloody scratch on Yi Jianlian's arm.

The 24-second attack time passed quickly, and Kidd, who was in charge of the organization, had to settle for the next best thing and pass the ball to Terry.

The Jets and Chandler ran a high pick-and-roll and switched the defender to Yao Ming.

At the last moment, it was actually two Huaxia insiders who took on the heavy responsibility of defense!

Terry took a step back, and then rushed towards Yao Ming at full speed.

During the march, the jet made a crossover, shaking Dayao in a circle.

Even so, Yao Ming still did not give up on defense.

He gritted his teeth and jumped behind Terry.

In the blink of an eye, Dayao nailed the latter's layup to the board!

McGrady, who returned to the inside card position, jumped high, received the rebound, and immediately launched a counterattack.

I saw him stepping up his long legs, speeding up and killing the Mavericks halfway.

At this point, there are about 40 seconds left in the game.

Mark Jackson on the sidelines hesitated to call a timeout.

After seeing McGrady's indomitable posture, he finally gave up and decided to let the players end the game by themselves!

And t-mac did not let him down.

After half court, he saw that the Mavericks had fallen to the defensive position, so he resolutely collected the ball two meters away from the three-point line.

The next moment, McGrady leaped high, kicked the ecstasy with scissor legs, and shot a super long three-pointer...

The criticality of this ball is beyond doubt.

All the players, coaches, and spectators in the stands held their breath and followed the basketball to the basket.

......

......

"Shu~"

Basketball hit the net.

126:125, the Rockets lead by one point!

"The goal has been scored! This goal has actually been scored!"

"Beautiful! McGrady's moment comes again, this ball is too critical!"

The two CCTV commentators were all excited and incoherent.

The Mavericks fans at the American Airlines Center were stunned.

Individuals with fragile mentality even covered their mouths and their eyes were red.

Obviously, McGrady's ultra-long three-pointer hit them hard!

After the goal, Carlisle called a timeout for the first time.

This is also the last timeout for the Mavericks in this game!

During the dinner, Carlisle carefully arranged a serving tactic.

Other than that, he didn't say much.

Carlisle knows that his players don't need extra chicken soup or encouragement now.

A clear tactic and a short rest time are enough!

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

The timeout ends and the game enters the final 30 seconds!
