Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 251 The End of the First Round

For a while, the Mavericks were caught in a dilemma. At this time, an experienced head coach is very important. This kind of major adjustment or tactical choice does not allow you to think for too long. Obviously, the Mavericks The interim head coach didn't have this, but fell into entanglement, and this entanglement gradually extended from the sidelines to the court.

The thoughts of the Dallas players on the field began to become inconsistent.

This is simply fatal for Dallas, which is already at a disadvantage.

The consequence is that the score difference has once again been widened.

By the time Dallas reacted, the morale of Dallas had dropped to freezing point.

Chen Dazhuang, who was standing on the sidelines after the start of the game, had sat back to his seat at some point, and was chatting with D'Antoni and Smith at the side.

What appeared on the benches on both sides was a world of difference.

The Timberwolves are relaxed, while the Dallas side is a little lifeless. There is no expression on the faces of the players sitting on or off the court.

As the game time elapsed on the field, the reporters on the sidelines gradually discovered that Nelson, who had been sitting there, had exited the field at some point.

What they don't know is that many Dallas fans watching the game live have turned off the TV.

For Dallas, the game has no suspense.

At this time, the third quarter of the game was less than 5 minutes.

The score on the field is already a score that makes all Dallas people desperate, 79 to 54, a full 25 points difference.

The game on the court was even a torment for the Dallas players. Under such torment, the players became a little irrational and their temper became a little irritable.

At 7 minutes and 23 seconds into the third quarter, Dallas had the offensive ball on the field.

Rondo held the ball on the outside, and kept trying to find a breakthrough through tentative steps, but Lin Shuhao didn't give him any chance at all, and even reached out again to try to steal the ball. Although he didn't touch the ball, Rondo made a mistake. The basketball touched his leg and changed direction. Seeing this, Lin Shuhao stepped forward to fight for the ball with Rondo.

Rondo fell to the ground under the contact of the two bodies, and although Lin Shuhao staggered a little, he quickly stabilized his center of gravity, then accelerated forward after getting the ball, and finally assisted Middleton to complete a chasing three-pointer .

On the other hand, after getting up, Rondo yelled at the referee about Lin Shuhao's foul just now.

The big screen on the field is also replaying the moment of physical contact between the two just now.

Through the playback, it can be seen that both of them actually had movements in their hands, so this is also the reason why the referee did not blow. The referee kept signaling Rondo to back off, but as Rondo refused to let go, the referee's face was also a bit ugly stand up.

It stands to reason that if you shut up at this time, it's okay.

But after being warned by the referee, Rondo snatched the basketball from the referee's hand and smashed it on the floor. No matter who you are, the referee will not tolerate you.

So he pointed his finger directly to the outside, and Rondo was directly expelled from the field.

Seeing the referee's action, Rondo walked towards the locker room without looking back, without even saying hello to anyone, and this episode is just a microcosm of the mentality of the Dallas players.

Nowitzki is the only one in Dallas trying to support the team, but let alone the old Nowitzki, the current situation in Dallas, even if Nowitzki is ten years younger, it is impossible to reverse the situation.

In the end, in the first round of the first round of the playoffs, which attracted many people's attention, the entire fourth quarter became garbage time.
