USA Today: The final battle of the 06/07 regular season suspense announcement.

……

After the March schedule is over and April has just entered, the Suns don't have much time to breathe, and they are about to play the first game against the Mavericks.

Of course, this is just a gimmick. Now the Mavericks are 60 wins and 11 losses, 56 wins ahead of the Suns 15 wins and 4 losses. At the end, in this state, what can the Suns do to reverse?The Mavericks have room to lose, and the Suns?

In a word: There are not many games left for him.

Compared with competing for the top spot, helping Nash beat Nowitzki's team, it is more reliable to give Nash the prestige of the regular season MVP with three consecutive piles.

Now Nash is ranked third in the MVP list. This season, the main players like Marion and Lagabel have not been sent away, and Stoudemire has not suffered a serious injury that was reimbursed for the season. Reversal is no longer possible.

Since you can't compare with the weak, there is only one way, which is to pull down Nowitzki's impression points in a direct face-to-face battle. Maybe you don't need Nowitzki to climb the mountain, and Nash still has a chance without asking. .

On the leaderboard at this time, Nash is third, James is second, and Nowitzki is first.

April 4st, April Fool's Day, Phoenix.

Night falls.

At this time, the peak match between the Suns and the Mavericks will be held in the American West Arena. The lights are bright and the crowds are crowded.

During the warm-up, Nash and Nowitzki hugged each other and chatted about the days of brotherhood, from 98 to 04, the feeling of 6 years, from jerky to proficient... No, it is familiarity. Now that they are separated, they are standing together At the pinnacle of the league, there are indeed many feelings to talk about.

In other words, the Mavericks team where Nash used to be, now only Nowitzki is an acquaintance.
Marion and Terry both debuted in the class of 99. One is too ugly and the other is too dark. Their faces are not attractive. When chatting, they have a natural liking.

Subei also chatted with John Howard's seniors for a while, and they talked about Wake Forest University. As a non-renowned university, I have to feel that there are too many talents coming out of it.

Moreover, when they brought their talents to the NBA, they both showed their own performance. That kind of proud feeling made the two of them talk a lot more warmly, at least not too much plastic.

At this time, on the big screen in the arena, the starting lineups of the two sides for tonight's match were also displayed.

Mavericks starting 5 Tigers, Dampier, Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Terry, Harris.

The Suns started with 5 players, Stoudemire, Marion, Subei, Lagabel, Nash.

The game will be broadcast live across the United States by TNT Radio, with Mike Breen and Kenny Smith partnering to explain.

"In the previous three games against the Mavericks, the Suns were at a disadvantage both in terms of appearances and results. The score was 2-1 and the Mavericks took the lead.

Moreover, in the only game lost, the two sides hit double overtime, relying on Stoudemire to score 41 points and 10 rebounds, Nash scored 32 points, 16 assists and 8 rebounds, and Nash stole Terry on defense in the last 35 seconds. , Only 2 points risked defeating the Mavericks.

It is difficult for the Suns to replicate such a game. "

"Indeed, the Suns and the Mavericks are at a disadvantage in the game. I feel that the Suns are playing their cards. The Mavericks know the Suns' running and bombing style well, and at the same time, they have upgraded and strengthened.

Both teams are running and bombing. On the way to the championship, the Suns pushed running and bombing to the extreme, ignoring all weaknesses and wanting to attack to solve everything.

The Mavericks start from their own shortcomings, where there are problems

He ruled there, made drastic moves, and pieced together the team into a team with a balanced offense and defense and a balanced lineup.

The Suns are more suitable for the regular season, and the Mavericks are more suitable for the playoffs. In addition, the strength of the Mavericks lies there. As long as the Mavericks go all out, the probability of the Suns winning will be much lower.

The end of the season is approaching and the Suns are at home again. There is no need for the Mavericks to compete with the Suns. This game is really hard to win or lose. It depends on the state of the players on the court..."

The game started.

beep-!
When the whistle blew, the referee threw the basketball in his hands. Dampier, the self-proclaimed No. [-] center in the Western Conference, defeated Stoudemire and scored the first attack for the Mavericks.

"Harris took the ball to the front court, Nowitzki came out to get the ball, no, he and Harris played a pick-and-roll tactic, Nowitzki shot over Nash, and they had a good chat just now..."

Swish-!
3 to 0! !
Three points hollow into the net.

The relationship of 6 years must be like brothers of iron and steel, but that was before 2004, and now it is 2007, 3 years, how many more than 3 years in life?There is nothing wrong with changing from iron and steel to plastic, right?

Nash is still a competitor for the MVP of the regular season in the past few years, and he has already won 2. If it is the Iron Brothers, it should be his turn, right?
If not, he takes it from Nash.

On the court, the Suns attacked the round.

Subei pulled away to contribute to Nash, and Josh Howard didn't disturb Nowitzki and Nash's reminiscence of their love for each other, and stood by and watched.

"Marion pulled Nowitzki out, played a pick-and-roll with Nash, and put Nowitzki in front of Nash.

Playing big with small things, Nash changed directions continuously, mobilized Nowitzki's defensive center of gravity, and drove the ball to the inside to break through. shot the basketball out of the block..."

Swish-!
3 to 2! !
Nash opened the scoring account, but the Suns were 1 point behind.

It's not the same, Nowitzki is not a serious insider, and he singles the three-point line as a low post, which in itself is outrageous, and the Suns will not be wronged.

Looking back, the Mavericks' offensive round, or Nowitzki pulled out, and played a tactical screen with Harris.

After receiving the ball, he lifted it up and made a three-point shot. Nash came over, but Nowitzki received the ball and dribbled the ball to the inside to break through. Nash had no power to parry at all.

"Stoudemire made a save, Marion also made a save, and Nowitzki made a two-point jump shot..."

Swish-!
5 to 2! !
Can shoot and pass the ball suddenly, the key to defending him is still the misplaced nada can't defend.

It is harder for him not to score than to score.

On the field, the Suns attacked the round, Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and continued to ask for a tactic.

"Marion continues to send Nowitzki in front of Nash, and Nash misses Dirk Nowitzki.

Break through, change direction, and fight big with small things.

Huh!Harris rushed over to join in the fun, and played a flanking tactic with Nowitzki. This is not about martial arts. Although there is no agreed one draw and one draw, the peak duel between MVPs in the regular season, two against one, is really very good. Lost position.

Nash is not a stand-alone player, he pulls the ball up, passes the basketball to Marion, and it's empty..."

Marion received the ball, and Josh Howard could only rush to make up for it.

boom--!
"Marion made a back pass. Josh Howard followed the basketball and saw that Su Bei had already lifted the ball, jumped up, shot, raised his hand and shot a three-pointer..."

Swish-!
With the knife in his hand, Su Bei hit a three-pointer.

5 to 5, the two sides tied.

Looking back, the Mavericks attacked, and the basketball continued to be controlled by Nowitzki, who played Marion with his back.

Bang-!
Unable to hit, Nowitzki dribbled the ball and turned around, carrying Marion laterally to break through to the inside. Seeing Nowitzki getting closer and closer to the basket, Su Bei rushed to help defend.

"Josh Howard made an air cut, Nowitzki passed the ball, took a step to the free throw line, received the ball, Josh Howard faced Jiangsu Bei's block, made an emergency stop for two points and shot a fadeaway jumper..."

Swish-!
Two point hit.

7 to 5! !
You know, in the 06/07 season, Josh Howard has reached the peak, averaging 19 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists per game. Subei's ability to attack Josh Howard's offense is also unstoppable.
