Chapter 808 Don't anger the old driver

Dallas' home court seems to have been affected by the Lakers' 2-0, and it seems to be a bit sluggish overall. The reason is nothing more than the fans of the Mavericks themselves, who lack confidence in their team.

Everyone knows that the West is not the East, and the competition here is fierce. It is lucky for the Mavericks to squeeze into the playoffs at the end.Expecting to kill the No. 33 seed of the season and tie the Los Angeles Lakers with a [-]-game winning streak in the regular season, this is nothing more than daydreaming.

"Black Eight"?Come on, how many times in NBA history?It's so easy, is it still called "Black Eight"?

Furthermore, the lineup of the Mavericks also makes them feel hopeless. Monta Ellis is an offensive ATM machine, and the defense is also an ATM machine.If he can do a good job in offense, that's enough. Defense is basically something you don't expect much.Jose Calderon?The biggest highlight of this guy should be the three-pointer, basically he has no ability to break through and create inside damage.Furthermore, this guy is also a poor defensive point. Except for the three-pointer, the pass is even and steady, not too bright, but not too many mistakes.Players with equally obvious strengths and weaknesses.

The second is the trio of old men, Dirk Nowitzki + Marion + Carter. Originally, Carter was supposed to be a substitute in the regular season, but in order to fight against the Lakers, Rick Carlisle wanted to make a "unique move", but the effect was not obvious. good.Rick Carlisle is mainly good at planning and long-term construction. Such intrigues and short-term plans have never been his forte.

He likes to play tactics very much, all kinds of tactics, and the future conflict with Rondo is for this reason.

Basically, the point guard is not given too much room to play independently.Of course, it turns out that his tactical level is still very high, but sometimes it tends to be complicated. The average point guard can't figure out his tactical intentions.Kidd can, that's because he is a historical point guard master, and the Mavericks are already old, and they don't have much desire to argue.But... How many Kidds do you think there are in the entire league?
In other words, how many Kidds are there in history?
The strength of the Lakers is still very obvious, and Kobe alone is enough to beat Monta Ellis countless times.

Ability and physique are not at the same level.

There is no way, Carlisle, who failed in the previous two games, can only be replaced by Dalembert in this game. The Mavericks' lineup is really terrible.Mediocre to the extreme.

what to do?There is nothing to do, unless there is a miracle, or you can't win the opponent.

Nowitzki looked at the teammates around him, he knew that someone had to stand up and take the lead, otherwise if he lost this game, a sweep would be in sight.As a man who has won MVP+FMVP, he has not really been so low-key all the time.

Back then, he stood up, took the lead, defeated the defending champion Lakers, then activated the team's confidence in one fell swoop, and finally won the championship.Now, what he has to do is the same as before.

underestimate me?Think the Mavericks are rundown, dry scarecrows?

Sorry, I don't admit it, and I don't accept it.

In the first quarter, the Mavericks bit the Lakers, 34-27 in a single quarter, and the latter led by 7 points into the second quarter.

In the second quarter, the Mavericks began to counterattack, no, it should be their No. 41, and Nowitzki, the team soul, began to counterattack.

After receiving the ball, swipe ~ and hit the middle distance.

Another ball, swipe ~, and hit again in the middle distance.

On the third ball, Gasol threw it out too quickly, and Nowitzki broke through with the ball, which eventually caused Jordan Hill's inside defensive foul.Brush ~ free throw line plus penalty and make a steady hit. 2+1, all of a sudden, the German scored 7 points.Forget it, after all, he is "King Nuo Tian". It's not surprising that a man who was once a super giant would get mad.But someone underestimated him.

"Dirk shook Pau Gasol again, he rushed into the penalty area, the Lakers double-teamed two insiders, Dirk sent the ball out! The basketball flew into the hands of Devin in the corner! Devin made a three-pointer Shot! Swipe~ Hit!"

"Dirk entered the penalty area and caused a defensive foul by Pau Gasol. He made 2 free throws and made 2 free throws!!!"

……

This is Dirk Nowitzki's personal performance!Seeing this sign, Mike D'Antoni quickly replaced Tang Qian.The playoffs are still different from the regular season. D'Antoni's substitutions are more precise and flexible. In the first quarter, Tang Qian's appearance was appropriately reduced, which allowed No. 29 to play in the second quarter.In the early part of the season, there was a shortage of people, so there was no way. In the latter part of the season, the team's combat power soared, so there was no need to pay too much attention to this matter.That's why D'Antoni adopted a new playing time allocation mechanism for Tang Qian at the start of the playoffs.

I thought that this would solve the opponent just like the regular season. Tang Qian was not only selected for this year's defensive first team, but also the best defensive player, that is also a certainty.He also has the rare movement and speed of a 7-footer, which makes it possible to expand the defense. He is simply one of the most suitable "small ball centers" in D'Antoni's mind.But in this game, Tang Qian suffered from a serious "inner demon" trouble, which was completely different from the "slight" in the previous games.He lost 23% of his competitive state in one breath.

This is a bit cruel! The drop of more than 2% was all-round, which made Tang Qian's ability drop a lot compared to the regular season.

So, Nowitzki is still scoring.

Facing Tang Qian, he was a little different from the regular season. He did not retreat but advanced, and he burst out with extremely strong firepower.

"Dirk holds the ball on the wing, and the person defending him is No. 29 of the Lakers. What will Dirk do? Three threats? Then...then shoot directly!!! The ball...goes in! YES!!!" Mavericks' home court The commentator Derek Harper shouted loudly that the ball was played decisively, which made the Lakers want to rely on Tang Qian to block Nowitzki's tactics, and they were hit in the face from the beginning.

Fortunately, the Lakers also scored one. Nash passed the ball in series and directly assisted.

next ball?Actually gave Nowitzki again? ? ?

This style of play is a bit like "breaking the game with strength". I know that your Lakers are going to attack me, but I just keep playing and keep attacking.This kind of ball, generally speaking, the regular Sano Tianwang rarely does this, but in the playoffs, it is not uncommon for him to play like this.Say he's a softie?That's really ESPN's bullshit evaluation back then!
想当年他季后赛第四节场均可以砍下9.9分，无限接近10分，命中率高达51%+53%+94%！拜托，这可是季后赛第四节数据啊！尼玛都快“200俱乐部”了！这还是人？？？“180俱乐部”就是超高效率的代表了好吗。“200俱乐部”？还是关键第四节？这等于是无敌姿态！
It can be said responsibly that this year's Nowitzki, the crucial fourth quarter, is already more stable than Jordan.In fact, he played very mediocrely in the first three quarters, but once he broke out... it was like modifying his ability value!To give a more specific example, there were 6 games in the finals that year, what was Nowitzki's overall shooting percentage? 41% up and down!It's completely different from the perverts in the previous rounds, but if you only look at the data, you will definitely think, wow~ Zhan Wuscum, what kind of dominance is this, it's not luck to get FMVP.But what about the fourth quarter?What about the crucial fourth quarter?The reason why the Mavericks can win that year!Final cup!It's what Terry said, we just need to drag the game into the fourth quarter, and then Dirk will lead us to take the game away!
In the final quarter, he made 35 of 18 shots and made 24 free throws for a total of 62 points!The hit rate reached 51.4%! ! !This is the finals! ! !The finals with the strongest defense! ! !Comparing Wade and James, the two together only made 50 of 23 shots, 14 of 11 free throws, and scored 62 points that year!What about hit rate?Only 46%! ! !That is to say, at the critical moment, Nuo Tianwang alone suppressed the Jane Wei connection! ! !Do you call this kind of person a softie? ? ?

In the first finals, the left middle finger was injured, and the rest were splinted like Kobe back then.In the second finals, his right forearm was injured in defense.In the fourth game of the finals, his fever exceeded 101 degrees Fahrenheit, and he still scored 10 points steadily in the fourth quarter.

Do you think he doesn't hold grudges?No, he just doesn't say it!Do you think he is not proud?No, he just doesn't say it!
Wade's "body whistle" took away the championship back then, and then he uttered nonsense after the game, claiming that Nowitzki did not play a key role at critical moments, so the Mavericks failed.In short, it is stepping on the opponent and raising yourself.Tang Qian thought it was a bit too much back then, because most of Wade's so-called key roles also came from "referees", but he directly ignored this point.

Do you think Germans have no temper?No, in the All-Star Game the following year, he was the only one who didn't box with Wade.

He didn't say it, but it didn't mean he didn't remember it.

James and Wade's "cough imitation" before Game [-] of the finals, mocking him for pretending to be sick in Game [-], was also remembered by him, but he didn't say it at the time.

In contrast, James' Twitter "NOW.OR.NEVER" declaration issued at the Battle of Tianwangshan is more like a boy's demonstration.So really, really, don't underestimate Nowitzki, he is a man who can score 2016+ points in the "180 club" playoffs in 20.

The old driver got angry and the consequences were serious.

As a super giant, he naturally has the dignity of a super giant.

Tang Qian single-handedly defended Nowitzki. Nowitzki knew that his physical fitness was far inferior to his opponent, so he withdrew his hand after standing still.Tang Qian threw the ball in time, but it was still a bit short. Under the influence of the "inner demon", his competitive state was not as strong as in the regular season.Defensive status, of course, is also included.However, even so, it was still a good defense.At least let Nowitzki's shot be a bit based on reluctance.

but……

"YES! YES! IN!!! AGAIN!!! Dirk!!! Dirk!!!"

Amidst the shouts of the Mavericks' on-site commentator Derek Harper, Tang Qian turned his head in disbelief, but the basketball had already passed through the Lakers' net.

"You are very strong, but your state in this round of the series is not good, and..." Nowitzki looked at Tang Qian after scoring a goal and said: "Even if you are at your peak state, you can't prevent me."

There is not much pretense, just plain words, but in Nowitzki's non-stop scoring, it puts Tang Qian under great pressure.

He tried many times, but he just couldn't defend his opponent. Nowitzki obviously broke out.

And it is comprehensive, the state explodes.

After Tang Qian defended him, he still maintained a shooting rate of 8 of 6 shots. At the same time, he also made full use of his offensive threat and began to mobilize the Mavericks team to attack.This is very similar to the 10-11 season.

The Lakers were a little beaten, and the Mavericks seemed to be gradually awakening and being revitalized.

Harris, Jose Calderon, Carter, Marion, and Wayne Ellington all began to bloom, and the score difference was turned over in an instant.This is the reason why Kobe choked Monta Ellis tightly, otherwise he would also start to stand up, and then he would be in big trouble.

This is the first time this round of the series has been so intense and so stalemate.

Jay Williams, who was about to fall asleep in the broadcast room, suddenly woke up and started talking with the guests of the Black Lakers, as if the Lakers were full of loopholes all at once.

Of course, this is also in line with ESPN's broadcast law, otherwise, there is really no expectation and nothing to watch.

Although they don't really think that the Mavericks can "black eight", they can beat the Lakers and kill the Lakers.Just some resistance, some trouble, this is what they expect.

At least the Lakers can't let the Lakers kill the Quartet so much, right?

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers and the Mavericks were in a stalemate. In the last 5 minutes, the scores staggered.

With 4 minutes and 06 seconds left, the two sides were tied, Nowitzki made a breakthrough pass, Calderon made a second pass to the old Carter on the left side for a three-pointer, swiped, and the basketball accurately shot into the Lakers' basket in the basket.Carter's hit rate in this round of the series is very high, not much different from the original time and space, and even more brilliant.

Yuan Shikong has made 4.4 three-pointers and 2.1 hits in the playoffs this season, and his three-pointer shooting percentage has reached a terrifying 48.4%.This round of the series is not lost at all. So far, the 3-point shooting percentage has exceeded 48%, and it is very likely to continue to climb and continue to improve.This is definitely not a good thing, definitely not a good signal.

Back then, the Mavericks were able to kill the Lakers and stop the Zijin Dynasty's three-game dream, relying on various perverted mid- and long-range baskets.If they were cast out again, it would be a disaster! ! !For this point, Kobe is the most vigilant and the most fresh in his memory.

But it was not easy for him to kill Monta Ellis by himself. After all, Ellis was not very good on the defensive end, but he was always at a very good level on the offensive end.The career high can be regarded as entering the realm of the league's top scorer.The highest level in the playoffs has also reached the level of 26+.This is also the level of a top scorer.

But for any player who has reached this level, it is basically difficult for you to completely suffocate. Ellis is not in good form tonight, and Kobe is really good at defending, and he is not far away, which makes the former's score stay in single digits.The hit rate was dismal.Furthermore, outside players, it’s good if you can defend one. Well, generally speaking, there is only one you can take care of.

It is impossible for Kobe to double up to defend other people.

After both sides played a few fine irons, Kobe attracted the defense and passed the ball to Nash. Nash broke the game with a three-pointer and the Lakers took a three-point lead again.But not long after, the Mavericks who came back from the timeout passed a tactical ball and tore open the Lakers' perimeter defense. It was still Carter who shot directly through the net from the corner of the three-pointer!
In the next round, the Lakers didn't handle it well. The play was too complicated, and there were too many passes, which directly led to... turnovers!
The basketball was taken by the Mavericks, and the Mavericks Calderon beat Nash hard. Nash, who is over 40 years old, has completely lost his defensive end after playing 40+ minutes in the playoffs.The Mavericks led by 2 points.

Gasol hooked the next ball to tie.

The Mavericks missed a shot on the next ball, the rebound was protected by Tang Qian, and the Lakers got a chance to overtake.Kobe ran in an air cut, received a pass from Nash, and hit a layup, but with a little more force, the basketball missed the rebound and only got 2 free throws.However, Kobe only made 2 of 1 free throws, and the rebound was protected by Nowitzki of the Mavericks.

Don't underestimate Nowitzki too much. His rebounding in the regular season is indeed a bit "soy sauce", but in the playoffs, like scoring, it is completely unambiguous and has greatly improved overall!Career directly rose to the level of 10+ rebounds!This is already an average rebounding data per game for an excellent 4th position!To put it inappropriately, Garnett Malone Ewing Bill Lambir Larry Bird is at this level.Nowitzki is definitely a king-level playoff player, not playing hypocrisy!

Then on the offensive end, the Mavericks started giving the ball directly to Nowitzki.

Tang Qian immediately stared at it, but now it's not the ability to block shots, it's impossible to block shots so easily, let alone the world-famous "Golden Rooster Independent" fadeaway jumper!This trick, because it is far away from the inside and the basket, even if you want to use the Rockets to block shots, it is empty talk!Even if the peak Chamberlain came by himself, that's the same!
The most effective range for the Rockets to block shots is the basket and inside, outside?Originally, it was mainly interference!Unless you use the ability card, no one can escape!
Tang Qian had no problems defending the ball, but the 7-foot white man just shot it in, as if there was no defender in front of him at all!
And that's not all!This is just the beginning!After several consecutive shots, Nowitzki made consecutive shots, 5 of 4 shots in a wave, which directly made Tang Qian's defensive mentality become more sensitive.On the next ball, Nowitzki just raised his hand slightly, and Tang Qian threw himself out uncontrollably!The result, of course, was a foul, and Nowitzki made 2 of 2 free throws!
In this way, the Mavericks sealed the victory. Even if Kobe finally scored a three-pointer to reduce the score to only 1 point, it would not help.The game time is only 1.8 seconds, even if it is a foul, it is very difficult.The Mavericks threw a high-altitude ball directly and used up the remaining game time.

Drip~ The game is over.

最终比分108-109，洛杉矶湖人队1分惜败达拉斯小牛队，大比分被扳成了2-1。

In this campaign, Nowitzki scored 38 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. Most importantly, his overall shooting percentage was close to 6%! ! !Come on, he doesn't have any "chance balls" and "open balls" tonight, okay!That is to say, nearly 6% of the field goal percentages were all made by the Germans one by one!

This is simply monster-level data! ! !If you are a senior fan, then you must know that this data is even more exaggerated than the ordinary 40~50 points! ! !Be stronger! ! !

What about the Lakers?Bryant still scored 30 points efficiently, Gasol 18 points, Nick. Young 15 points, Meeks 10 points, Nash 10 points and 10 assists.With some sporadic rest scores, it's not too bad.Then why do you still lose?The reason, the reason is because of No. 29 Tang Qian.Not to mention that Tang Qian was shot by Nowitzki in this game, he didn't play well, and his shooting percentage was less than 4%!Only got 9 points!This is pitifully small compared to the previous period and the 33-game winning streak!

His loss at this point was the main reason for the Lakers' loss tonight.

You can say that he is the top bag and took the initiative to take over Gasol's defensive work. If Gasol is allowed to defend Dirk Nowitzki tonight, it may even be worse.But... there are not so many ifs in playing basketball.The fact is that Tang Qian was the main defender of No. 41 on the Mavericks tonight, but he failed to complete the task and was shot by his opponent.It's that simple.

No need to make a bunch of useless excuses.

Tonight is the night of the old driver, and he had the last laugh.

But Lakers fans are still optimistic that this is just the Lakers' carelessness and carelessness.Will win it next time.

PS: Xiaozi is very powerful tonight, um, I have updated the Wanzi~ This is really beyond Xiaozi's own expectations~
It’s a new month, let’s welcome it with a good start~ Let’s work hard together~
Thank you for the big rewards~ Thank you for the honor of silence, the one-eyed dragon Ida Masamune, the big pen for the sword, the fate of Yuan Yiqie, and the monthly ticket for the Black Demon War Soul~ Thank you everyone~
