Chapter 642
Nowitzki's back-turning, stepping-back jumper is amazing. Although the movement is simple, but with his height, lean-back, and a protective raised leg, his shot is full of excitement. Aesthetics, basketball is not only exciting enough for dunks and blocks. When a player's skills reach the peak, his every movement is a kind of coordination, a syllable full of rhythm.

In the past, Nowitzki seldom played low post in the game. This is because he originally trained as a point guard when he first received basketball training, but as he got taller and taller, he changed to play inside. As a result, he Maintaining the soft touch of an outside player, but still can't find the feeling of playing inside, this is his advantage and also his disadvantage, but from now on, Nowitzki will try to do what an insider should do. Yes, this is a task he must complete, but judging from the goal just now, he did a good job, at least he knew how to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, and he didn't try his best to beat Duncan.

The Spurs were not to be outdone. After attacking the front court, they poured the ball repeatedly, and then Manu Ginobili made a three-point shot. Although the ball missed, Duncan grabbed the rebound and made a second attack at the basket. The Spurs equalized again.

After two days of intensive rebounding training for the Mavericks, it didn't have much effect. In fact, it really can't be effective in a day or two. From the ball just now, it can be seen that the Mavericks' inside line still lacks the proper blocking and rebound awareness.

The game continued, the Mavericks still tried to hit the ball into the hands of Nowitzki in this offense, but the Spurs also suddenly changed their defense and became a zone defense. As soon as Nowitzki got the ball, he encountered Duncan and Ginobili Double-teaming, Dirk Nowitzki passed the ball to Liu Han on the outside with difficulty, Liu Han caught the ball and made a cross pass to Odom in an instant. After double-teaming Dirk Nowitzki, Liu Han suddenly retracted his action after Bowen's center of gravity shifted, and then threw the ball to the basket with a very simple action. He almost didn't take off this shot, just Relying on the strength of the wrist to throw the ball, but the basketball drilled into the hoop with laser-guided precision.

Although Liu Han's extreme pursuit of shooting speed is not very good-looking, it is very powerful. Few people can block Liu Han's shots under such circumstances, unless the defenders can predict accurately.

Although the Mavericks added a lot of new "weapons" in this game, they are still essentially a team that focuses on outside shooting. The Spurs just defended the zone defense was wrong, which will give the Mavericks more opportunities.

Both teams showed good form at the beginning of the game, but compared to the Spurs, the Mavericks seemed more prepared.

In the next game, both teams made more or less mistakes, and the Spurs' defense against Liu Han was also very effective. Although the joint defense of Bowen and Devin Brown could not prevent Liu Han from scoring, it still allowed him to score. He has less contact with other people.

However, other players of the Mavericks team are in good condition today. Not to mention Nowitzki, Odom also performed well. He changed his scoring performance in the previous two games and began to take on the important task of organizing offense and protecting defensive rebounds. This allowed the Mavericks not only to avoid confusion, but also to always lead the score.

Popovich began his adjustments after entering the second half of the first quarter. The Spurs' consistent style is that the players' playing time is relatively average. This is inseparable from Popovich. He can always play well. The opportunity to deploy players to play, for the Spurs, everyone else can be missing, but Popovich cannot.

The Spurs made adjustments, but the Mavericks remained unchanged. Liu Han gradually increased his singles and breakthroughs. After all, compared with others, his shooting percentage was higher. Chance widened the point difference to 8 points.

At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks led the Spurs by 34 points 25 to 9.

After the start of the second quarter, the advantage of the Spurs in adjusting the lineup in advance gradually emerged. The substitute lineup led by Ginobili and Bowen completely overwhelmed the Mavericks. Xue Yuyang looked at a loss when facing Nesterovic. Josh Howard rushed and hit in a daze. The lead established by the Mavericks in the first quarter disappeared after several consecutive waves of offense and defense by the Spurs.

Less than 5 minutes into the second quarter, Liu Han had to make an early appearance.

The Mavericks relied on Liu Han's strong attack to stabilize the situation, and at the same time re-established a lead of 4 to 6 points.

The Spurs also re-placed the starting lineup to deal with the Mavericks, but because the Mavericks players are in good shape today, the Spurs have not been able to catch up with the score.

At the end of the half, the Mavericks still maintained a five-point lead. Liu Han scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

After the start of the third quarter, the situation on the field changed suddenly. The Spurs used Duncan to attack the Mavericks inside and scored two plus one consecutively. lineup.

Although the speed of the Mavericks changed to a higher level after the lineup change, the player's touch suddenly became cold. If it wasn't for Liu Han's consecutive three-pointers to stabilize the situation, it is estimated that the Mavericks have already been overtaken.

However, Liu Han's strength alone is limited. When the third quarter of the game ended, the scores of the two sides returned to the same starting line, and the Spurs tied the score at 76.

Entering the last quarter, the two sides first faced off against the bench lineup, and the main players were resting to prepare for the final battle.

Xue Yuyang suddenly emerged at this time, two consecutive high-post jump shots and a blocked block made the Mavericks lead the Mavericks by four points again.

With 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the starters of both sides returned to the court, and the game entered the final decisive battle.

The Spurs Manu Ginobili became more and more stable at the last moment, and he saw blood from outside the three-point line. Odom, who was defending Ginobili, seemed exhausted.

The Mavericks once again had a hand feeling problem. Nowitzki made a mistake in a low singles play by Duncan and was directly intercepted by Duncan. The Spurs tied the score with less than 1 minute left in the game, and the two sides tied at 90.

At the critical moment, Liu Han stood up. After breaking through the pincer attack of Bowen and Devin Brown, he made an emergency stop jumper and hit two points. The Mavericks regained a two-point lead with 32 seconds left in the game.

The Spurs' last chance to attack, the Mavericks dared not defend the zone and switched to man-to-man defense, but the Spurs still relied on Duncan to tie the score at 24 before the end of the 92-second shot clock. More importantly, Duncan's low-post The forced shot also caused a foul by Nowitzki. Nowitzki committed six "graduates", and he had to end.

Duncan's "two-word clamp sheep horse" free throw posture made the ball steadily, 93 to 92, and the Spurs had an absolute advantage, leaving only 8 seconds for the Mavericks.

The Mavericks had all called timeouts at this time and could only serve from the baseline. Liu Han ran quickly to get rid of Bowen's stalking and received a pass from Odom, and then he dribbled the ball slowly across the half court.

Bowen didn't dare to defend too tightly at this time, for fear that Liu Han would make a foul or directly break through him, so he still focused on leading defense.

But when Liu Han took nearly 6 seconds to cross halftime, he suddenly shot a three-pointer just two steps away from the middle circle. Relying on his strong waist strength and violent wrist shaking, Liu Han took off without interference. Throw a blow of ecstasy.

The basketball is still flying in the air, Liu Han has turned around and raised his hands, and the way of celebration that made the entire NBA amazing was reproduced in the NBA.

The basketball swiped into the frame and the attack time stopped. Liu Han only had 1.1 seconds left for the Spurs.

When the Spurs' last shot missed the basket, the American Airlines Center Arena was full of joy. They were amazed by Liu Han's last shot, and they were also moved and excited for the team to kill the Spurs.
