One Guard

Chapter 311: From the starter to the end of the bench

He swung his arm vigorously, and his blonde hair fluttered with it. What is the scariest side of Nowitzki? Maybe it's now.

"Dirk Nowitzki's defense is too tough, and LeBron still intends to take advantage of Dirk. But the Germans responded to LeBron with a fierce counterattack, and there is no way out!" Barkley also watched Nowitzki play. It's been a while, but this series is perhaps the toughest Nowitzki has ever played.

The basketball is fanned out of bounds, although the Heat still own the ball. But this block has allowed the Mavericks' inside defense to establish a great deterrent.

Sure enough, after the sideline ball was sent, the Heat will not try to hit the inside again. Wade missed a mid-range jumper after the pick-and-roll, which put an end to the Heat's first offense.

The moment the basketball hit the frame, the fans in the stands immediately created a "huge wave" in the court. In the NBA, fans don't actually have the habit of cheering on people. Vignali is very clear that fans will only do this in the European arena.

But today, at Nowitzki's home court, the fans created a rather "European" home atmosphere for the Mavericks. With the support of Renlang, Yiyang controlled the ball for halftime. This time, the cornered Chris Bosh decided to use the defense around the front to deal with Nowitzki, directly denying the German a chance to catch the ball.

Seeing Bosh's choice, Yiyang just smiled lightly. As soon as his toes stepped beyond the three-point line, Yiyang passed the ball. A lob pass to the inside, the target is Nowitzki.

"I still chose to play the ball to Dirk, but we saw that Chris had already circled forward to defend. The ball was also played a little too fast, and he should take it slowly..." Kenny Smith just said After that, the basketball that started to fall passed Bosh's fingertips and fell firmly into Nowitzki's hands.

Since Bosh is defending around the front, when Yiyang's pass passes through him, there is no longer any barrier between Nowitzki and the basket.

Joe Anthony immediately defended to the basket, but Nowitzki is not the kind of athletic insider who can only dunk vigorously. Seeing that Joe Anthony's supplementary defense was very timely, Nowitzki just held up the basketball with one hand and lightly tossed it. A long man made a small throw and successfully scored two more points.

"God, Yi's pass is just right! Facts have proved that in front of Yi and Dirk, defending around the front is not a good choice. As long as Dirk needs it, Yi can pass the ball steadily! Dirk's The state is still as good as ever, coupled with the continuous delivery of ammunition, I believe that Dirk will definitely score a high score today!"

The game after that was exactly as Barkley said. Nowitzki didn't wait until the final quarter to break out today, but went crazy as soon as the first quarter came out.

Poor "Dragon King" Bosh,

It must be ravaged by Dirk's wrath from the very beginning. The entire Heat team has also been suppressed because of Nowitzki's excellent performance.

In the middle of the first quarter, Spoelstra replaced Wade ahead of schedule. It wasn't until the end of the first quarter, when the Mavericks were fighting with the second unit, that the Filipino coach brought "The Flash" back to the field.

It turned out that Spoelstra played a "Tian Ji horse race" with Carlisle. If a superstar is not left on the court to chase points at the last moment, I am afraid that the Heat will play more passively.

Relying on Wade's excellent performance at the end of the first quarter, the Heat finally completed the overtake at the end of the first quarter.

25 to 22, although the Mavericks are behind. But the state shown by the players on the court made the fans not in the slightest worry. Over time, the Mavericks will definitely be able to open the score!

As soon as the second quarter started, Yiyang, who was wearing a mask, hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line. This time Nowitzki reached the inside and attracted the defense, but the German who scored like cutting melons and vegetables distributed the ball to the outside.

The Heat's defense shrunk, and what Yiyang got was a big open opportunity. When he hit a three-pointer, Hayward even heard someone in the stands chanting "Zorro" this hit.

No wonder, Yiyang's outfit today is indeed too eye-catching. He is like a silent swordsman, usually unobtrusive, and he can't even see people with his true colors. But at the critical moment, the sharp sword is out of its sheath, and you will never be soft!

At the beginning, the score was equalized. The advantage that Wade finally established was broken in less than three minutes.

Yiyang's goal was like a catalyst, which made the Mavericks' players even hotter and their chemistry stronger.

20 seconds later, Chandler humiliated Wade with a flying jump. Afterwards, Yiyang led Terry to layup easily in the fast break, and the overtake seemed to be an extremely easy thing for the Mavericks.

The Mavericks are all soldiers, and everyone can stand up and score. Dirk Nowitzki's goals are still rising, in addition, Bosh's hit rate is plummeting.

If it weren't for the personal abilities of James and Wade, the Heat might have been able to raise the white flag to surrender.

But the most attractive part of the basketball game is that there are always various variables. No advantage stays the same, and neither does the disadvantage.

In the fifth minute of the third quarter, Yiyang, Nowitzki and Terry took a normal rotation to rest, and there was always a lack of an offensive point on the field except for Marion. However, the Heat completely watched Marion to death, leaving the Mavericks in a scoring drought.

Originally, Carlisle hoped that Peja could play and use a three-pointer to help the team stabilize the situation, but Peja's poor state in the finals continued. Tried to fire from beyond the three-point line several times, but Peja missed a goal.

In addition to scoring disadvantages, the Mavericks also had problems on the defensive end. Bosh ate a night of deflation on Nowitzki, and now, it's all on Marion!

Although Marion is tall and long, he is still not an orthodox inside player. In the process of confrontation with Bosh, Marion had the upper hand. Bosh waved his iron elbow to catch the ball, turning around for a while to break through, and turning over for a jumper for a while, which made Marion curse secretly in his heart.

During this period, under the leadership of Bosh, the Heat played an 8-0 offensive spurt, overtaking the point difference by 4 points.

Did Carlisle decide to react immediately and bring in Dirk? No, Nowitzki has just come down to rest, and if he plays again, the Germans will be physically exhausted.

What about Yiyang? not good too. Even if Yiyang plays now, it will be difficult to solve the defensive problem inside. So Carlisle's eyes fell to the end of the bench.

"Brian!" The academic coach yelled.

Cardinal, who watched the game seriously, froze for a moment. His first reaction was to take a towel from the side and walk over, because this guy thought someone accidentally kicked the drink over.

"What are you doing Brian!?" Seeing Cardinal walking towards him with a towel, Carlisle almost couldn't hold back his laughter. This guy usually does a lot of chores, has he forgotten that he is an official member of the Mavericks?

"Ah!? Didn't someone spill the drink!? Then you call me..."

"Forget about the goddamn Gatorade Brian, I want you to get ready to step in and replace the exhausted Sean! I only have one mission for you, take care of Chris!"

Carlisle patted Cardinal on the shoulder while telling him his request.

The towel in Cardinal's hand suddenly loosened and fell to the ground. This guy was stunned. But soon, Cardinal regained his composure, took off his training clothes, and went to the technical desk to register!

Yiyang watched Cardinal walking towards the technical stage, and was very much looking forward to his performance. Don't forget, Yiyang's tough and tight defense in the playoffs was all taught by Cardinal!

"The Mavericks are planning to make a substitution, and they also saw Marion's inability to face Bosh. Carlisle... Coach Carlisle replaced Brian Cardinal!?" Looking at Cardinal When the old-fashioned white "uncle" walked onto the court, Barkley thought he was dazzled. If his eyes are fine, then Carlisle is confused! Now that the Mavericks are trailing, the game hasn't entered garbage time yet! For Cardinal to play, isn't that taking the initiative to reduce the difficulty for Bosh?

Sure enough, after replacing Marion, the Mavericks' offensive firepower retreated instead of advancing. In this round, the Mavericks were able to continue to score by relying on Barea's difficult mid-range shot against the defense.

Bosh is eager to try, and now he has to vent the frustration he tasted on Nowitzki! Don't think that Bosh, the guy at the end of the bench, will be sympathetic. Now Bosh only cares about whether he can win, not who he wins.

But as soon as Bosh landed on the ground, he suddenly realized that things were not as simple as he imagined!

As soon as Bosh settled down, Cardinal stuck up. This guy not only sticks tight, but also has countless little tricks! Bosh can't be said to be defenseless right now, but he is also made to feel uncomfortable all over, completely losing his offensive rhythm.

Chalmers delivered the "ammunition" to Bosh with a ground pass. Bosh held the ball with his back, and his movements were not clean. He pretended to turn around several times, but in fact he greeted Cardinal. elbow.

But Cardinal, an NBA player who looked like a grocery store owner, did not flinch. Even though his body was in unbearable pain, Cardinal still clung to Bosh's side against his opponent's iron elbow. It is very difficult to turn around.

After finally holding the ball to the frame, Bosh found that Cardinal was trying to reach the basketball he had operated on. This guy's defense is tough and aggressive. And Cardinal has plenty of energy, which puts tremendous pressure on Bosh!

"God, is this still Cardinal? In 1-on-1, Chris Bosh was completely guarded to death! Bosh relied on his height advantage to make a jump shot, no, the basketball is outrageous, Cardinal A great success for Paul's defense!"

Barkley's surprised yell was immediately drowned out by the cheers of the fans, and after that, Cardinal showed another little attack on the offensive end. After getting the ball from the bottom corner, he calmly tricked Wade into the air with fake moves. Cardinal didn't act impulsively after reaching the inside, but passed the ball outward, assisting Barea to complete a three-point offensive score. This guy may have limited strength, but his basketball IQ is definitely above the league average.

In the next round, James launched a quick attack to the center of the basket. Just as the "little emperor" was about to attack the basket, Cardinal's good positioning made James hit someone with the ball! Although Cardinal was knocked far away by the strong James, and even felt staring after lying on the floor and sliding for a certain distance, he won the ball for the Mavericks! In less than three minutes, the Big Three of the Heat took turns to suffer Cardinal's loss!

Cardinal's excellent performance represents the Mavericks' all-out soldiers, and has now covered the end of the bench. Facing such a team in excellent condition, it is difficult for even the Big Three of the Heat to win.

With Cardinal's sacrifice, the Mavericks withstood the disadvantage of these few minutes, and also won enough rest time for Nowitzki and others.

When Nowitzki, Yiyang, Terry and Marion re-entered the game, the game actually lost its suspense. The Heat didn't take advantage of this time to open the score, and there was no chance after that.

Yiyang's pass is still just right, Nowitzki's finger is dragging, and he still plays no matter what.

And when Yiyang and Nowitzki have no chance, Terry and Marion can always stand up and make the transition.

In the last two minutes of the game, Nowitzki made consecutive shots from the mid-range position. Off the field, Spoelstra hugged his head in despair. He had done enough to defend Dirk Nowitzki. But the Germans are really like an invincible "chariot", rampant on the court, unmatched!

Nowitzki's consecutive goals hit the Big Three dizzy. At the critical moment, Yiyang also unexpectedly completed a steal in the hands of James, and he dribbled the ball and dunked quickly.

The Big Three insisted on fighting to the end, but still failed to overtake the score before the end of the game. The Heat only scored one goal in the last 2 minutes. Such a performance naturally cannot allow them to steal the fruits of victory from Dallas.

When Wade made a desperate long-range three-pointer, the referee blew his whistle, and the electronic buzzer rang through the audience.

Yiyang took off his mask and looked up at the big screen. 88 to 97, the Mavericks beat the Miami Heat for the second consecutive game!

"The Heat do have the strongest star, but in Dallas, the Mavericks have the most perfect team!" Barkley smiled and applauded gently.

How terrible is the Maverick who is all soldiers? It's so terrible that even the Big Three of the Heat have nothing to do with them.
