Nowitzki smiled wryly: "At the beginning of the last game, we restricted him a little, but then we ushered in his big explosion... To be honest, I have never seen anyone with such accurate shots, never... "

"Accurate shooting...accurate shooting." Kidd thought with some resentment.

Mavericks coach Rivers said a little helplessly: "Guys, we have to win the next game."

Hearing this sentence, both Kidd and Nowitzki came out of the emotions just now, and they also knew that it is only a theoretical possibility to defeat the Hornets now.Therefore, what they have to prepare is to try to win as many games as possible so that they don't end up so absurdly...

Now, the team that scored 3:0 in the West already has the Mavericks and the Nuggets. The Mavericks have their own dignity and will not allow themselves to be swept away by a Western upstart.

"In my opinion, we still have to guard against that No. [-]. His threat to us...is too great." Nowitzki said.

"Yes, for this guy, we have to quickly formulate more comprehensive countermeasures, otherwise things will make people feel difficult to end."

Us. It sounds incredible, but they can come back with four wins...it's not impossible..."

Everyone has also calmed down. There is no Sakuragi Flower Road or Yuan Daying here. Everyone will not be blindly optimistic. After all, the Mavericks are a traditional strong team. The Hornets are having a lot of fun...

"So, guys." Scott concluded: "We will use our fullest state to face the fourth game...try to directly defeat the opponent and return to New Orleans as soon as possible...Practice your tactics and beat the disgusting San Antonio people! "
