You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 375
The Mavericks in the 2005-06 season are worth remembering.

During the regular season, I witnessed Kobe’s legendary 3 points in 62 quarters, blacked out the Rockets in the first round of the playoffs, and fought against the Spurs in the conference semifinals. Those seven games were undoubtedly the bloodiest, most classic, and most memorable seven games in the new century.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban dismissed his comments.

They figured that giving any of the top guards in the league 25 and 21 free throws in a single game would turn him into Michael Jordan.And that's exactly the number of free throws Wade made in the last two games of the Finals.

No matter when they want to wail, Wade and the Heat's champions are beyond reproach.

Now, they decided to wake up from the nightmare.

From the shaky four-game losing streak at the beginning of the season to the current top spot in the Western Conference, the Mavericks have shown their dominance. Nowitzki used this to beat Kobe and ranked first on the MVP simulation list.

The MVP predicts the battle between the No. [-] and No. [-] rankings, and TNT decided to broadcast the game live across the United States.

In the TNT studio, in addition to the leading brother Ernie Johnson, there are also "Magic" Johnson, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley.

"I will undoubtedly stand on the side of the Lakers." As a star of the team, the magician has a clear stand.

Moreover, he also talked about Kobe's immortal performance against the Mavericks.

"The Mavericks' lineup is no different from last year. If Kobe can score as high as last year, he can do the same this year." The magician paused, "At the same time, Wish has made great progress, and he should not be underestimated."

Barkley and Smith exchanged views, saying they had no reason not to support a team with a better record.

So, the camera was given to the scene of the game.

Steve Kerr and Doug Collins are the commentators for the fight.

The core players of both sides shook hands in the midfield. After the warm-up session, the starters of both sides made their debut.

The starting lineup for the Lakers is: Smash Parker, Kobe Bryant, Wecha, Radmanovich and Ryan Hollins.

Mavericks starters are: Eric Dampier, Devin Harris, Terry, Josh Howard, Nowitzki.

The starting lineup of the Mavericks is only one Adrian Griffin away from the lineup that Kobe scored 3 points in 62 quarters last year.In terms of defense alone, Harris is far inferior to the former.

The Lakers still have many clearly visible concerns.

Their inside line is really not enough to see.

Dirk Nowitzki is playing MVP-caliber performance, but the Lakers lost their best big player, only to Hollin and Radmanovich against Dirk Nowitzki and Dampier.

Nowitzki is in charge of the jump ball.

It looked like Hollins would win.

But the jump ball is a metaphysics. Physical fitness can bring advantages, but it is not decisive.

For example, today, Hollins did not skip Nowitzki.

The German patted the ball into Harris' hands, and the start of the game belonged to the Mavericks.

With regard to the Mavericks' short backcourt, the Lakers' defensive allocation is that Wesha is against the talented Harris, Parker is against Terry, who has better shooting ability, and Kobe is against Howard, who is as strong as a bull.

At the beginning of the game, Harris didn't want to show, and the ball was passed to Howard.

The Mavericks' calm performance is nothing like a dominant regular-season team that hasn't known what it's like to lose since mid-December.

Howard was welcome to get the ball, and Kobe's single defense made his shot look extremely reluctant.

He stumbles out of the paint, takes a strong shot, and bang.

Since he recognized Wei Xia as his master, Hollins, a lone wolf who has never been close to his teammates, has a companion. When he saw the defensive rebound flying over his head and saw Wei Xia's position, he not only refused to receive the rebound, but also patted the ball into Wei Xia's hands.

Wei Xia was rewarded for nothing, and with Bailai's defensive rebound, he launched a swift counterattack on the spot.

Harris wanted to stop, and his sudden stop and change of direction swayed to the side of the road. The Mavericks' retreat speed was very good.They can also be regarded as a running and bombing team. Although Don Nelson resigned, his successor, General Johnson, focused on defense, but for the team's offense, he chose Xiao Guicao to follow suit.

The mad scientist has already laid the groundwork, he doesn't need to do anything with it.

That's why their backcourt starters are still so short.

Wei Xia's chasing layup lacked a little touch and missed.

Then, the Mavericks' counterattack was equally beautiful.

Howard's high position doesn't look at people passing Nowitzki.

Nowitzki swayed, dribbled, and received the ball. His movements were as agile as a tall forward. Radmanovic's defense was like a fake, and the Germans turned it into a plaything.

However, Nowitzki's shot also deviated from the basket.

Then it was Kobe's turn to fight back.

He didn't pass the ball, and made a counterattack layup like Wei Xia.

He turned around and changed hands to hit the board like a big shift in the universe, but because of too much force, the ball went into the inside of the basket and rolled out again.

The careless counterattack of both sides left many fans dumbfounded.

So, is this the end?

not yet.

Nowitzki held the ball from the free throw line and forced the Lakers to double-team with his amazing offensive threat. He distributed the ball to Harris, who was forgotten outside the three-point line.

Harris' performance was really good, and he did not disappoint Wei Xia's "trust" in him.

There was no one at two meters on all sides. Wei Xia saw that he got the ball in an open space, but he just glanced at it. Even if the defense was successful, he turned around and blocked someone to protect the rebound.

His approach was even more extreme than Kevin Love's a few years later.

Although there is no lower limit for people not to defend for defensive rebounds, they will stretch out their hands to make a show.Wei Xia didn't even put on a show, and his back-to-back posture was as decisive as a prostitute who had finished having a good time.

The opponent underestimated his shooting so much, how could Harris not let him know the reason?

It's a pity that he still didn't live up to his opponent's expectations after all.

The long rebound flew out of the basket, Wei Xia caught him, saw Kobe was about to pass, but ignored Howard, and was intercepted by the latter.

The Mavericks counterattacked on the spot, and finally, Dampier scored a layup with the ball.

2 is better than 0
2 minutes passed, and the scorer finally broke.

Wei Xia felt that his pass was wrong to his opponent, and he was determined to get back 2 points himself.

At the top of the arc outside the three-point line, he asked for the ball from Parker's hand, his eyes signaled Hollins to clear the paint, and then waved and shouted for death to do a dead pick-and-roll.

As soon as Parker's pick-and-roll fell, Wei Xia blasted Terry who was changing defense as quickly as possible.

After all, Terry is a person with a head and a face. He was naturally upset when he was treated as a baby of experience. He was about to do something, but found that Wei Xia's body dragged him forward. Before the referee whistled two steps, he shot against the whistle.

Hitting the board, the goal is valid, and there is an additional penalty.

Terry expressed his dissatisfaction loudly: "He is like a taxi driver pulling me away!"

The overlord logic of the referee made Terry lose his voice: "He pulled you away? Then why didn't you resist?"

What a fucking logic. Originally, the rules are already biased towards the offensive side. How can the defender dare to make any big moves and resist?

Terry was speechless, and Wei Xia added a penalty.

3 is better than 2
All of a sudden, the Mavericks' positions were like the most familiar strangers.

Two left, three right.

The low position on the left for Nowitzki, it seems, isn't it the Lakers' triangle offense?

But the Mavericks will never give Nowitzki the ball just because he is in the low post.

Even Wei Xia was deceived by Nowitzki's request for the ball.

Harris opened up the treasures on his body, used his speed and explosive power, and changed directions left and right in a way that others could hardly imagine. He quickly and decisively tore through Wei Xia's defense and accelerated the breakthrough.

Wescha got rid of it?No.

But Harris' breakthrough has been successful. He passed through Weixia's defense, but did not get rid of people.

However, as long as any ball holder can penetrate the outside defense and kill inside, it can be regarded as a successful defense. If he does not get rid of the man, it will only increase the difficulty of getting the ball.

Kobe didn't know whether he looked down on Weixia's ability to entangle, or Howard's bottom line three-pointer, or maybe he mistakenly thought that the person facing him was Dwight Howard.

He suddenly retracted to the inside, so that Harris, who didn't know who to pass the ball to, saw his guiding light.

At the moment of passing the ball, he thanked Kobe in his heart.

Howard made the Lakers' defense fail with a crisp three-pointer from the bottom corner.

5 is better than 3
"Don't let people rush in so easily!" Kobe even beat him up.

Wei Xia spread his hands and rolled his eyes, expressing his attitude of not arguing with Kobe.

The matter of Wei Xia and Kobe is not over yet. No, they may not have even run halfway, but they saw Smash Parker regard himself as the emperor on the court, but he is not called LeBron, so his every move made the whole team panic.

Reaper attacked like an arrow, his speed increased too fast.

The spirit of not paying attention to Nowitzki's defense is worth advocating, but he only knows how to accelerate but not how to slow down, resulting in no sense of shooting, and the layup depends on God's mood, which is really tasteless.

Parker's ball fell out of the basket, Wei Xia and Kobe looked at each other, no need to attack, and returned to the defense on the spot. Compared with the normal retreat, it was only 50/100 away, thanks to Parker.

Neither Wei Xia nor Kobe noticed that the Mavericks had only four players in the backcourt.

Dampier failed to retreat in time, Nowitzki successfully assisted the defense, grabbed the defensive rebound and dribbled forward like a seven-foot guard, and suddenly saw Dampier running into the basket.

Nowitzki's one-handed half-court alley-oop pass, or the inside to the inside to make the ball, not to mention the difficulty of the half-court alley-oop, if it can be achieved, there will be no suspense at the top of today's top ten goals.

Dampier took off and stretched out his hand, only to see that the ball slipped through his palm like oil and water, and went out of bounds.

"Ha!" Wei Xia laughed dryly, "Today is really amazing."
