Chapter 215 Fighting the Mavericks (continuing the big chapter)

The Phoenix Suns lost at home, and after losing to the Sacramento Kings, the regular season ranking immediately fell to fourth in the West.

The fierce competition in the Western Conference can be seen. Fortunately, there is only one team that has maintained a complete victory, and that is the San Antonio Spurs.

The dark horse Supersonics also lost one game, with 6 wins and 1 loss, ranking third in the West.

The second place in the West is the next opponent of the Phoenix Suns, the Dallas Mavericks.

The Dallas Mavericks played 2 more games than the Suns. The current record is 7 wins and 1 loss. They are in a very hot state. They only lost back-to-back accidental away games to the Orlando Magic. Now they have won all home games and won three consecutive away games.

Before the game, 7% of media reporters were optimistic about the Dallas Mavericks winning at home, and 3% were optimistic about the Phoenix Suns winning the game.

Although the Dallas Mavericks have overhauled their team lineup this summer and even changed their organization and brains, it seems that the current situation is smooth and there is no running-in problem. The team's offense still appears, and the defense has also improved a lot. I believe that it will be completely new in the near future. Become a championship team with both offense and defense.

Just looking at the regular starting five of the Dallas Mavericks is not easy to mess with.

The point guard was replaced by a fast horse, Devin Harris, the No. 04 rookie in the first round of the 5 generation.

The shooting guard is Michael Finley, one of the "Three Musketeers", an All-Star scorer with both offense and defense.

Small forward Josh Howard righted up and became a good player for the Dallas Mavericks.

The power forward is Dirk Nowitzki, a superstar who has been honing his shooting skills, and the team has a stable output.

On the center is Eric Dampier, a blue-collar who can only defend, but he was signed at a premium.

Of course, the real horror of the Dallas Mavericks is never the powerful starter, but the thickness of the bench. Jason Terry, nicknamed "Jet", has a bit of a nerve knife, and it is scary to score when he is violent. The Eagles once had three outstanding players. One of them has won the title of the "Trident" combination with the strongest scoring average per game.

Jerry Stackhouse, a scorer with outstanding offensive talents, although he lost in the battle between Philadelphia and Iverson for the star, he still has the strength to be the core of a team.

The Dallas Mavericks have a self-willed and heroic boss, and it is recognized that the team has a luxurious lineup.

He is strong and he is strong, and the breeze touches the hills.

No matter how strong the Dallas Mavericks are, the Suns know what they are doing, and they will do whatever they want.

However, the only variable falls on Nash. To challenge his old club, each player has a different mentality and his state will fluctuate.

What would Nash think?No one knows, until the moment of face-to-face confrontation, it is nothing.

Regarding the speculation from the outside world, Nash's face was calm and he was very magnanimous.

Since his departure, his old club has performed equally well, proving that there is no difference between Nash with him and Nash without him, right?

Therefore, facing his old club in the next game, he will go all out to defeat the Mavericks, not to prove that the Mavericks can't do without Nash, but to help the old club find and fill vacancies.

After all, he stayed there for five years, and it is best to spend his youth there, defeating the Mavericks, and also provide a little help for their championship.

Nash clenched his fists, and the flames of war in his heart were burning. With this mentality, Nash and the Phoenix Suns headed to Dallas.

At 2004:11 pm on November 16, 9, at the American Airlines Center Arena, the duel between the Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns was about to start.

Before warming up, Nowitzki took the initiative to step forward, greeted Nash, and gave him a good hug.

Nash's determination has also become more determined. Just for Nowitzki's brotherhood, he must also defeat the Dallas Mavericks.

After a simple layup and shooting warm-up, the starting lineups of both sides came to the middle circle of the basketball court, and the game began with a scrimmage.

The Suns starting five remain unchanged, lined up, followed by point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Joe Johnson, small forward Quentin Richardson, power forward Sean Marion, center Amar Ray Stoudemire.

The Mavericks have not changed, still their regular starting five, point guard Devin Harris, shooting guard Michael Finley, small forward Josh Howard, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, center Eric Rick Dampier.

"Beep!!"

A crisp whistle sounded from the mouth of the referee, and the basketball was immediately thrown high into the sky, and the game officially began.

Stoudemire VS Dampier!

The two jumped almost at the same time. Although Dampier boasted that he was the No. [-] center in the Western Conference, he seemed a little arrogant, but his strength was still good. With his physical advantage, he overwhelmed Stoudemire and transferred the basketball to Nowitzki. .

Nowitzki didn't stop, and distributed the ball to Harris to organize. He took an informal pace. Harris caught the ball and took advantage of the trend. He immediately took the lead and played a whirlwind fast break.

Passed by Joe Johnson, passed by Josh Howard, passed by Finley, passed by everyone in front of him, without waiting for the teammates of the Mavericks to get in position, he immediately changed his direction and went to the basket without stopping, Marion jumped out to defend.

Harris was not afraid, took a step, pulled the ball up, and used the extremely fast speed to lay up with the ball in three steps.

Marion seemed to be blown by an evil wind. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly. After Harris made a layup, he jumped up from behind and slapped the basketball with his big hand. The basketball hit the backboard and flew like a volleyball. come out.

Harris gave a volleyball hat at the beginning, but he also fell off the court because he rushed too fast.

However, being young is self-willed, he immediately got up, nothing happened, obviously he is also the master of hard work.

The basketball flew back to the sidelines and was snatched by Josh Howard, who had quick eyes and quick hands. Facing Joe Johnson, he didn't make a strong play and quickly passed the ball.

Outside the 75-degree three-point line on the left, Nowitzki caught the ball without any sloppiness. He immediately raised the ball over the top, drew the bow and set the arrow, and opened his hand to shoot a three-pointer. The basketball flew like a missile. to the basket.

There was a clear and crisp net cleaning sound, and the white net flower overflowed, and the three-pointer hit the net in response, causing a burst of water splash.

3 to 0! !

As soon as the game started, the situation on the court was very dramatic. First, Harris sent a hat, and then there was Nowitzki's logo three-pointer.

However, in any case, Nowitzki raised his sword and scored first for the Dallas Mavericks, making a good start.

Marion made a quick shot from the bottom line, Nash took the ball and took a step forward, striding forward quickly, Harris stepped forward to press, Nash gave the ball to Joe Johnson, and a 2-over-1 kick came over the wall, and Joe Johnson snapped Pass the ball to Nash who passed Harris.

Without stopping, Nash caught the ball and dribbled a step. During the run, he used both hands to quickly push the basketball out. for a moment.

Outside the 60-degree three-point line on the left, Richardson arrived at the ball and caught the ball just right. His eyes were wide open, and no one was guarding him.

Without any consideration, Richardson immediately pulled the ball up, bent his knees, jumped up, and shot a three-pointer.

The whole movement, from running position, catching the ball, jumping up, and shooting, is without any superfluous, and it is as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water.

The basketball was quickly pulled out from the fingertips, drawing a beautiful arc.

Swish!

The basketball fell into the basket accurately, and the three-pointer went into the net hollow.

3 to 3! !

In less than 7 seconds, the Suns ran and bombed like lightning and flint, instantly retaliated with an eye for an eye, and returned the color.

Nash's master-level pass control immediately awakened the gorgeous offensive images of the past fireworks, and the chasing boy was in the formation of the Dallas Mavericks, delivering exciting assists for the Mavericks.

As a result, the fans and spectators outside the arena rang out like a shower, the rain beat on Basho's applause, and the cheers burst out like thunder.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban also applauded softly.

Once upon a time, the boy chasing the wind still left people with a gorgeous offensive picture. If it wasn't for the championship, he would not be willing to give up this master of ball handling like a musician.

Fortunately, the Dallas Mavericks are not bad now, we are moving towards the right reason!

Those who can't keep up with the pace, no matter how beautiful it was, will not stay for him.

The Mavericks attacked and the tempo increased rapidly. Harris quickly advanced the frontcourt and passed the ball to Finley on the right.

With a feint shot, Finley didn't care if Chadson was shocked or not, and immediately dribbled and broke through.

5 to 2! !

Finley's mid-range shot is very accurate, and he dares to shoot with a slight angle, but his hit rate is not low.

The two sides played openly and fast at the beginning of the game. They both wanted to use offense to win, and they went straight to it without any temptation.

Looking back, Nash and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll, and the screen went down. Stoudemire accepted the pass from Shi, jumped up directly, and succeeded in the Tomahawk-style dunk.

The Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki attracted the defense from outside the three-point line, passed the ball to the middle, Josh Howard made an empty cut to the basket, received the ball and made a close-range pick.

The Suns attacked, and Nash broke through with the ball in the middle and went inside. He didn't find a chance to make a call, so he came out, slapped, hit the ground casually, and passed the ball to the right flank.

Joe Johnson received the ball from the face frame, after a three-threat posture, feinted a shot, changed direction and broke through Josh Howard, went inside, pulled the ball and carried Josh Howard's body, and the attack was still successful.

Then, enter Nowitzki's performance moment.

In the 8th minute of the first quarter, Nowitzki received the ball from a low position on the left and immediately lifted the ball over the top. Marion quickly got close to the ball and pulled the ball down. Nowitzki broke through to the basket, but Marion refused to give an inch.

At the basket, Nowitzki pulled the ball and swayed again, tricking Marion into jumping up to block the block. Nowitzki turned around and jumped, and easily sent the basketball into the basket.

In the defense, Nowitzki single-handedly defended Marion, did not take his fake action, and forced the opponent to force a mid-range shot. The basketball bounced out of the basket. Two steps away from the three-point line, he directly drew the bow and set the arrow, and made a three-point jump shot. With a clear sound, Nowitzki's three-pointer fell to the basket with precision, as if it was about to shoot through the net, accurate to the millimeter .
