Nba: I Really Didn't Come To Fight!

In the second round, after finding out that Nowitzki's strength is far inferior to his own, Lin Zhan's defense became more aggressive! He directly pushed Nowitzki out with his strong body and solid lower body strength Low post! All areas where Nowitzki likes to attack are not allowed to go!

Nowitzki's favorite low post, corner position, and 45-degree area on the side are all blocked by Lin Zhan, preventing him from passing easily!

Nowitzki wants to start the offense? No problem! Go outside the 3 point line and get the ball!

In the first half of the first quarter, Nowitzki fell into this kind of vicious circle. He desperately wanted to squeeze into the paint, and wanted to use his height and wingspan to fight Lin Zhan, but Lin Zhan was stuck in the position. Locked the bottom plate, refused to give an inch, just kept Nowitzki from getting close to the paint area, and drove him out of the core area of ​​the Sun~Sun team.

Nowitzki, who couldn't get the ball in the comfort zone, naturally lost his power. In the first half of the first quarter, he scored -2 ​​points only by free throws!

As for these two free throws, it was Lin Zhan who made the most ruthless shots. When he saw that he was about to catch the ball and shoot directly, he took out his trick again and slapped Nowitzki directly on the hand with all his strength, screaming. After that, a red five-finger fingerprint appeared on Nowitzki's white hand.

"Referee! This guy hit my hand!" Nowitzki complained to the referee dissatisfied.

"I know, I saw it, and I blew it too. What do you think of me? Kick him off the court?" The assistant referee looked at Nowitzki like an idiot. How about it?

Nowitzki looked at Lin Zhan with hatred, the slap made his hands tremble non-stop, and the hot feeling kept coming.

Fortunately, Nowitzki is indeed the top free throw shooter in the league. Even though his palm hurts like hell, he still made two free throws steadily.

But in the following games after the first quarter, he no longer dared to expose the ball to Lin Zhan easily.

That really hurts!

But the post-up attack was restricted, and the face-up attack did not dare to expose the ball. Nowitzki's role on the offensive end was only left for a while, the catch jumper and the 3-point shot! It became a fixed-point artillery!

With Nowitzki restricted, the Mavericks' offense was finally not so smooth, and they fell into non-stop singles!

Fortunately, one of the Mavericks' team building principles and core tactics is to keep the ball-handler in singles! Therefore, even if Lin Zhan restrains Nowitzki, the Mavericks still have Harris, Terry and Howard, as well as Stanley who came off the bench. Tuckerhouse, these four guys are also good singles players!

But that's all, a few of them have good singles ability, can score, can shoot [but they don't have Nowitzki's offensive ability to tear the defense and change the opponent's defense!

The real core of the Mavericks is Nowitzki!

Therefore, even if the rest of the Mavericks can score from time to time through singles, this kind of piecemeal play cannot give them an advantage in the game!

This is not only because Nowitzki is restricted, but also because the Suns' own offensive state is completely played out!

With Lin Zhan locking Nowitzki, the Mavericks' offensive hits dropped significantly, and the rebounds also increased. Grabbing the rebounds and pushing back is the Suns' favorite and best offensive method!

In the first quarter, they completely released this bombardment tactic again!

In the first quarter of the game, the Suns played in style and successfully led the Mavericks by 12 points at 37:25!

Nash contributed 13 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, Jackson scored 7 points, Marion scored 6 points, Dior scored 4 points, and Lin Zhan only made one shot in the first quarter and missed a hit, which resulted in him not scoring a single point, but as long as he knows a little bit of the ball Everyone can see that he is the most important reason for the Suns' explosion!

Restrain Nowitzki!

He let Nowitzki, who averaged 35 points in the first two games of the series, only scored 2 points in this quarter, and had 2 turnovers!

This contribution is definitely more important than Lin Zhan shooting 2 three-pointers!

His defense caused huge problems for the entire offensive system of the Mavericks!

In the second quarter of the game, the two sides dispatched their troops and replaced them with a mixed lineup of substitutes and main players to play on the court. The score has not changed for the time being.

When the first official timeout was entered with 8 minutes left in the second quarter, the coaches of the two sides seemed to have discussed it and put on their strongest lineups one after another!

As soon as he played, Lin Zhan rushed directly to Nowitzki!

"Hey Dirk, how did you feel in the first quarter, do you miss me now?" Lin Zhan had a smirk on his face, and hung directly on Nowitzki.

Nowitzki really wants Lin Zhan to get out, get out as far as possible, how can there be such an annoying guy in this world!

But he couldn't say it, he knew that his words would not have any effect other than being written into his black history and being ridiculed by Lin Zhan on the spot!

Although he didn't say it, Nowitzki's body language has already shown how successful Lin Zhan is in his defense!

His limbs were swaying very weakly, and there was no sure-fire confidence in his eyes. Nowitzki was on the court, and he seemed to be lying flat...

I don't run actively anymore, because Lin Zhan will block me wherever I go.

I am not active in covering for my teammates anymore. Anyway, after covering myself, I still can't go where I want to go.

I even seldom ask for the ball in singles, anyway, I can't beat Lin Zhan!

Nowitzki's pessimism completely explained where he is now, why he was able to lead the team to 60 wins, and the mvp ranking was only ranked third.

In the last 3 minutes of the second quarter, Nowitzki, who was entangled by Lin Zhan, suddenly raised his arm while running and hit Lin Zhan. Lin Zhan let out a scream and immediately fell to the back down!

"Beep! Offensive foul! Dirk Nowitzki!" The referee immediately blew the whistle in his mouth, directed at Nowitzki, and asked him to raise his hand to signal that he knew the foul.

"Damn it, he's acting! He's an actor! He should be getting an Oscar instead of playing here! I swear I didn't try hard!" The irritable Nowitzki couldn't control his temper, he wanted to Teach Lin Zhan a lesson!

Not only because of this offensive foul, but also because of Lin Zhan's constant chatter in his ears and non-stop trash talk during the quarter and a half, which made Nowitzki's head dilate three times.

Coupled with the fact that Nowitzki played really badly tonight, he felt even more depressed. He stared at Lin Zhan, who had an indifferent face, and was even sticking out his tongue to provoke him, and he wanted to rush over!

Fortunately, the team still has people with a clear mind! Stackhouse was very close to Nowitzki, and the veteran grabbed Nowitzki's clothes and shouted: "Dirk! Calm down, Dirk! Dirk! That's Lin Zhan! That's Lin Zhan! Detroit Bad Boys got beat up by him, you can't beat him!"

Stackhouse's words brought Nowitzki back to reality.

It's a bit embarrassing, but he's right!

Yes! What's the use of rushing over? Can I beat Lin Zhan? Nowitzki asked himself that he was definitely not Lin Zhan's opponent! After all, he was a little scared when he saw Da Ben, but Lin Zhan pressed Da Ben against him. It was on the ground, and because of an offensive foul, he rushed to Lin Zhan for an explanation

Not to mention what Lin Zhan can say to him, this behavior is very cheap.

Because of a 100% offensive foul that was not misjudged, go to fight with the opponent? No, it is to be beaten by the opponent.

This kind of thing, how to listen to how to see.

Nowitzki quickly regained his composure under the stop of his teammates. He let out a long breath, raised his hand, and said, "Sorry, I fouled!"

Nowitzki's calmness made his teammates breathe a sigh of relief, especially those who were closer to the Suns players. They heard the blatant planning and tactical arrangements of Lin Zhan and Jackson just now!

"Nowitzki dares to come over, I will give him a punch! I guarantee that he will be reimbursed for the series with one punch, and he will never even think about coming back this season!" Lin Zhan was full of enthusiasm, and his tone was full of anticipation!

"Then I'll be in charge of those ponies, what about Terry? Howard? Leave it to me! Make sure they can't rush over before you hit it off!"

Jackson is also a militant, and he has long been impatient.

"I have to find someone to stop the people on the bench from rushing up." Lin Zhan, as a person with senior fighting experience, has very keen eyesight and sense of smell! Especially he can watch the Western Conference semifinals next year! Robert Horry in When the overall situation of the game was decided, he deliberately hugged Nash and threw it on the billboard in front of the technical stage. Stoudemire and others on the bench immediately stood up and rushed towards Horry.

It was Stoudemire's impulsiveness that led to his suspension. Without Stoudemire, the Suns had the upper hand, and the Spurs reversed the series and won the 2007 NBA championship.

Once again, the Suns failed to enter the Western Conference Finals, fell halfway, and missed the championship trophy that they were most likely to win in this period!

But tonight, Lin Zhan actually has great confidence.

He is confident that he can overwhelm Nowitzki with one punch, and he is confident that he can knock down all the Mavericks rushing forward!

His strength has been strengthened at the top level!

It's just that if you do this, Stephen Jackson will protest again!

Every time your kid fights, one person fights one person. The brothers don't talk about eating meat, and they can't even drink soup. Is it reasonable?

Beating people, you have to fight together with brothers, it's delicious!

Well...then save one or two for Jackson, let him have fun too!

Just when Lin Zhan and Jackson had already begun to decide who should deal with which, Nowitzki suddenly calmed down. He obviously let go of the idea of ​​continuing to rush forward, but stood still and accepted the referee's penalty .

"Counsel!" Jackson and Lin Zhan couldn't help but curse at the same time.

After this penalty, Nowitzki has 3 fouls and entered a dangerous situation!

In order for Nowitzki to play more safely in the second half, he also adjusted his pants by the way. "Little General" Johnson waved his hand and replaced Nowitzki temporarily.

"Dirk, get rid of those distracting thoughts, that rookie isn't that good! He's just pretending to be a tiger and pretending to be tough!" As soon as Nowitzki sat down, Johnson began to pour chicken soup: "He just got lucky and guessed your offensive line correctly. , nothing to worry about, the second half of the game, let him look good!"

...asking for flowers...

In addition to these, "Little General" Johnson is also a little upset, that is, Nowitzki played really badly in the first half! Not to mention 3 fouls, and a total of 0 for 5 shots

Only relying on free throws to get 2 points and 2 rebounds!

He also felt that Nowitzki was too soft!

And with Nowitzki gone, the situation on the court was up again, the Suns were fully fired, continuing their crazy bombardment tactics of 7 seconds or less, Nash continued the task of distributing the ball, almost evenly soaked in rain and dew, every day Everyone can get the ball and shoot.

Lin Zhan, who contributed a lot on the defensive end, also won the trust of his teammates again, and got two consecutive shooting opportunities. Unfortunately, his touch is still weak.

A little stiff and missed both shots.

But although the shooting touch is gone, Lin Zhan's control and sense of smell on the rebound have not disappeared!

He actually caught all the offensive rebounds after he hit the iron twice, and distributed them to his teammates immediately, assisting them to score!

Throughout the first half, the Suns once again played their favorite style of play!

The whole team started to run and scored more than 30 points in the second quarter!

69:48.

This is the score of the two sides at the end of the first half of the game tonight. The lead of the Suns has also reached 21 points!

This is the first time they have such a huge lead in this round of the series! The feeling of being beaten by the Mavericks in the first two games is really too bad!

The number one player for the team to lead by 21 points is of course Lin Zhan!

Although Lin Zhan only scored 2 points on 1 of 5 shots in the first half, but he restricted Nowitzki, and he allowed Nowitzki to only score 2 points! This is definitely Nowitzki's entire postseason

The worst half of my career!

In addition to 2 points, Lin Zhan also grabbed 7 rebounds, sent 3 assists, and had 2 steals.

That's not a problem! He's pretty sure that Nowitzki is scared of himself!

f

Both physically and mentally, I have already started to be afraid of Lin Zhan, his defense and endless trash talk, coupled with his strong body and non-stop physical confrontation.

Nowitzki felt trembling just thinking about it.

He really doesn't like this defensive style and hates facing such opponents!

But... Nowitzki didn't have a choice.

In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides to fight again, but this time...the state of both sides has undergone tremendous changes.

On the Suns side, everyone is alive and well, full of energy and confidence, and they are full of determination to win!

As for the Mavericks, because the main player Dirk Nowitzki is not in the state, the others are inevitably a little depressed. In fact, they are not unexperienced after being behind by 20 points.

Has been successfully reversed.

But everyone on the Mavericks knows that none of this would be possible without Nowitzki!

The most relaxed person in the audience is undoubtedly the current Lin Zhan. He easily greeted several familiar Suns fans on the sidelines, bumping his fists and chatting happily.

The content of their chat, of course, is this game, and Lin Zhan's voice is deliberately loud, deliberately loud enough for the Mavericks players to hear.

"Hey Lin! Your defense in the first half was awesome! Nowitzki was defended by you like a puppy that has just been beaten by someone. It's so pitiful!" A fan laughed.

"It's not because he didn't dare to confront me! If he dared to confront me, it would definitely not be like this!" Lin Zhan's words aroused curiosity among the Mavericks players.

This guy is actually speaking for Nowitzki? He's taken the wrong medicine!

"Oh? Then what if he dares to confront you? After he confronts you, what will happen?"

Lin Zhan couldn't help but praise these two fans. The two brothers were perfect, and the praise was just right, without embarrassment or deliberation at all.

"If he confronts me..." Lin Zhan paused intentionally, and then looked at the Mavericks players provocatively: "Impossible, he is a complete softie

And a complete coward, he dare not fight against me! In the next game, he will be rounded and flattened by me like a girl in a nightclub, and I can handle it casually!"

"Bastard! What are you talking about!" Jason Terry, who has the best relationship with Nowitzki, finally couldn't listen anymore. Lin Zhan obviously told them to stop clamoring, which made Terry angry

Burning, he couldn't care whether he was Lin Zhan's opponent anymore, so he rushed towards Lin Zhan.

"You bastard, what are you talking about? I want you to apologize to Dirk!"

Terry stood in front of Lin Zhan aggressively, not afraid of this master fighter who dared to challenge Tyson.

"Yes!" Lin Zhan gave a thumbs up and said:

"But your brother may not accept your favor. Let's see, where is Dirk? The apology is to him, not to you! Jason, what you did, people might not do it right at all

No need!"

Terry was attracted by Lin Zhan's words and couldn't help looking back. What he saw made him extremely disappointed. .
