Chapter 591 Crazy and Crazier
"Don, are you okay?" Seeing the audience shouting Reggie Miller's name in unison after Reggie Miller hit a 3-pointer, the old Nelson standing on the sidelines also showed some complexity in his eyes. Old Nelson's worry and uneasiness could be seen from his frown, so Avery Johnson, who was standing beside Old Nelson, asked with some concern.

The Mavericks played extremely hard in today's game. Although it seems that the Mavericks are still holding their breath and want to reverse the situation on the court, the old Nelson and Avery Johnson are very clear about the fighting spirit and the strength of the Mavericks. Morale gradually drained after Meng Xu leaped and Sean Bradley completed a dunk. If Dirk Nowitzki was still hanging on for the Mavericks, the Mavericks would have collapsed long ago, but Nowitzki Nowitzki is also showing signs of fatigue. In the attack just before the timeout, Dirk Nowitzki's shooting action has begun to deform due to lack of energy. This is why, during the timeout period, Nelson, I hope that Nowitzki can paddle a little on the court and let the other players of the Mavericks stand up and take a bat.

As the head coach of the Mavericks, Nelson also felt exhausted in today's battle. The four sets of plans A, B, C, and D that Nelson made before the game went bankrupt one by one after the game started. So far in this game, the Mavericks have no tactics and routines at all, and now they have been completely reduced to X**D and relying on Dirk Nowitzki's superstar tactics. Head coach, today's game is also one of the few games in the old Nelson's coaching career that was out of his control, so the old Nelson showed worry and uneasiness.

"Hey!" Old Nelson didn't speak, but shook his head and sighed softly.Old Nelson is currently engaged in a difficult ideological struggle. The situation on the field has gradually slipped out of his control. Whether to let this continue or find a way to regain control of the situation on the field, Old Nelson really has no choice. Even if he chooses the latter, Old Nelson doesn't know how to bring the game back to his familiar track. There are some things he can do, but there are some things he really can't do.At the same time, the old Nelson is also hesitant about the use of Nowitzki. The old Nelson wants Nowitzki off the court to rest for a few minutes, but he is worried that after Nowitzki is off the court, the leaderless Mavericks will be hit by the Pacers Taking him away and letting him stay on the court, his physical fitness is a big problem. In the nearly 30 years of Nelson's coaching career, there has never been such a hesitation.

"Don, we still have a chance." The strange look on Old Nelson's expression was obvious, but Avery Johnson didn't know what to do, he could only pray in his heart that the Mavericks' next attack would be successful. Come on, only in this way, the point difference will not continue to widen, as long as the point difference does not continue to widen, the Mavericks still have a glimmer of hope, and once the point difference between the two sides exceeds 10 points, the last thing in the Mavericks heart A line of defense will then collapse.

When Steve Nash dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and began to pick and roll with Nowitzki, Avery Johnson's heart was already in his throat, and he watched Steve who was dribbling- Nash and Avery Johnson kept rubbing their hands together in front of their chests, and at the same time whispered in their mouths: "Must go in! Must go in!..."

After successfully completing the pick-and-roll, Steve Nash used a light change of direction to get rid of Jermaine O'Neal who was switching on him, and then rushed directly towards the basket along the edge of the paint.

After Reggie Miller hit a 3-pointer, the Mavericks are now 7 points behind. With 5 minutes left in the game, every attack is very important to the Mavericks. Points or 3 points, this time the Mavericks must score to attack, otherwise, if the Pacers score another goal with a backhand, the Mavericks will have no chance at all.

Meng Xu's leap over Sean Bradley was the turning point of the game. After that goal, the Mavericks, whose morale was low and their fighting spirit dissipated, relied entirely on Nowitzki's personal ability to make the final move. Struggling desperately, and Nowitzki urgently needs a period of rest to recover his strength after continuous attacking with the ball, but everyone has seen the situation on the court, Antoine Walker, Antoine Jaa Mison, and even Michael Finley, one of the Mavericks' three cores, have lost confidence and fighting spirit. At this time, Nash, another core of the Mavericks, and Nowitzki's most trusted brother, Steve - Nash felt that it was time for him to stand up. Even if there was an abyss ahead, he could not back down anymore. It was not only Dirk Nowitzki who was fighting to the death, but also him!
Regardless of whether there is any risk of injury, Steve Nash directly rushed to the place not far from the basket after making a series of crazy moves. At this moment, his goal is only one, and that is basket.

Looking at Dikembe Mutombo, who had already occupied a favorable position in advance and made a defensive posture, Steve Nash didn't have the slightest scruples and macro distance, but rushed towards Notombo with the basketball in his arms. , just when Nash was about to have physical contact with Mutombo, Nash suddenly stopped and changed direction. Such a sudden stop made Nash's sneakers deformed and out of shape at the moment, but Nash used such a powerful enough The action that destroyed his career, slipped past Mutombo's side, resisting the severe pain from his ankle, Nash jumped up slightly before Mutombo turned around, and threw the basketball in his hand After completing this series of actions, Nash fell directly to the floor.

But Steve Nash, who had already fallen, did not see the scene he was expecting. He was thrown out of the basketball by himself and did not fall into the basket. Instead, he was slapped by a figure that flew over suddenly and slapped the backboard. above.

"It's over!" After seeing the scene in front of him, despair gradually rose from Nash's heart irresistibly.

"Hey." Avery Johnson, who was tense on the sidelines and focused on Nash, waved his arm in great disappointment, and then rubbed his face with his hands several times.

"Steve Nash got rid of Jermaine O'Neal's defense, my God! This magnitude of change of direction, a little carelessness will end Nash's career! This move is crazy!"

"Another big change of direction, Steve Nash successfully swayed past Mutombo who was defending, a very light small throw, huh? This is? Meng Xu! It's Meng Xu, Meng Xu The back defense is very timely, a very beautiful pegboard cap!"

After a series of extremely exciting explanations by Michaels, the atmosphere in the Bankers Life Arena was instantly ignited. No one could calm down in front of such a perfect, critical, and violent block.

After landing from the air, Meng Xu directly made a long pass and handed the basketball in his hand to Jermaine O'Neal at the top of the arc, while he rushed towards the Mavericks' half court with all his strength. At the same time, Reggie Miller and James Posey also dropped their defensive targets in a tacit understanding and ran all the way towards the Mavericks' half.

After seeing the reactions of his teammates around him, Jermaine O'Neal reacted instantly. He didn't protect the ball on the spot, and he didn't dribble forward. Jermaine O'Neal quickly passed the basketball in his hand and had reached the three-point James Posey outside the line.

Three steps and two steps with the basketball galloping all the way, in a very short period of time James Posey has already dribbled the ball close to the middle circle, and Reggie Miller, who started almost at the same time as James Posey, did not need to hold the ball For the sake of running faster, after James Posey passed the middle circle, Reggie Miller had already run near the three-point line.

After observing the Mavericks on his side, James Posey gave up his plan to continue dribbling forward and passed the basketball to Reggie Miller who had already entered the three-point line. According to Reggie Miller's current Position, the Mavericks players have no way to complete the defense before Reggie Miller's shot.

Just when the teammates behind him and the audience were expecting Reggie Miller to complete the attack with a layup, Reggie Miller made a very bold decision. When the basketball was about three meters away from the basket, Reggie Miller jumped up, and he wanted to dunk!

You must know that Reggie Miller is now a 39-year-old old guy, and because of his poor physical fitness, in Reggie Miller's career, he did not dunk many times. Too bad, the 39-year-old guy is going to make a fast-break dunk in the finals!
After seeing Reggie Miller's offensive choice, there was a burst of exclamation in the Bankers Life Arena, and even Michaels and Magic Johnson on the sidelines rarely stood up.

"Boom!" sounded, and Reggie Miller, who was flying in the air, grabbed the basketball with both hands and slammed it into the basket. After the successful dunk, Reggie Miller shook the basket twice Then it landed.

"Crazy, this is so crazy!" Reggie Miller's move is crazy, but at this moment the Pacers' bench is even more crazy, from head coach Rick Carlisle to the team at the end of the bench. The water fountain keeper, all waving towels, tactical boards, etc., rushed to the field and yelled hysterically at Reggie Miller in the field.
