Chapter 205 Take Tianwang Mountain

Stephen was ready to make a free throw, but the referee gave Stephen an offensive foul. Stephen blinked his eyes twice, isn't it his own home field? There is no fixed and intuitive standard for similar fouls, and the scale is completely in the hands of the referee.

Stephen walked forward angrily, holding his breath in his heart. When he came back, as soon as Josh Howard got the ball, he was slapped hard by Stephen, and the ball flew into the audience. Stephen If you are not stupid enough to find a foul on purpose, no matter how much resentment you have in your heart, you must first stay on the court.

After the Mavericks served again, the ball came into Nowitzki's hands. Although Stephen's sudden sneak attack had no effect, he successfully interrupted Nowitzki's offensive rhythm. He shot in a hurry. Nowitzki made a rare shot In the air ball, Diop and Nesterovic competed for the rebound, but they were inferior in experience. Seeing that Nesterovic had already caught the ball, Diop stabbed the ball upwards hard, but who knew that the ball would be Stabbed into the basket, forming a goal with mistakes.

It was the Spurs' turn to attack again, and the ball was still in Stephen's hands. Josh Howard knew that he was fouled three times, so he paid attention to his actions. Stephen made several fake moves, but none of them could fool Josh Howard. , but delayed his own offensive opportunity, and finally only used throwing shots to attack. The ball bounced twice in the hoop and did not fall into the hoop. Duncan also missed a tip-up, and the ball was caught by Nowitzki. .

When retreating, Tony Parker deliberately walked up to Stephen and taught Stephen how to control his hand shape to increase the shooting percentage. As the player with the most experience in throwing, although he felt that this method was not suitable for him, Stephen still thanked him. The other party's kindness.

Among all the positions on the court, throwing shots are generally the point guard's forte, because their height is the shortest group on the court, but they are the most flexible. Using their own speed and flexibility to attack the inside and score is a must. The main way for point guards to attack inside, but due to their height, in order to avoid and avoid being blocked, throwing this offensive method has become their best choice.

However, since the throwing shot does not have an assisting hand like a jumper, the hit rate of the throwing shot has not been guaranteed. This is also the main reason why many point guards' offenses are called "brainless small throwing shots", because after they reach the inside , can only use this attack method.

Stephen really wanted to try his big throw stunt, but he also knew that this was on the court, not on the training ground. If he really did that, he would definitely be scolded by the coach, and he hadn't practiced for a long time. However, his body has changed a lot, and Stephen himself doesn't have much confidence in whether he can still have such a high hit rate as before.

The Mavericks' offense failed again, and Stephen seemed to be crazy now. No matter who passed within two meters of him with the ball, he might be attacked by him, and Stephen's attack speed was extremely fast. The return is also very fast, that is, it does not affect his defense against Josh Howard, but it also causes a lot of trouble for other players of the Mavericks.

This time, it was Devin Harris who got the ball. When he dribbled through Stephen's side, he was taken aback by Stephen who suddenly appeared in front of him. Fortunately, he dribbled with a low center of gravity, and Stephen missed a shot. , Then quickly retreated back, but Stephen's move created a chance for Tony Parker. In order to avoid Stephen's attack, Devon Harris turned sideways, and Tony Parker pulled the ball out of his hands.

Steph and Tony Parker once again teamed up for a fast-break alley-oop dunk show. The rest of the Spurs hadn't run in the Mavericks' half, and the Mavericks' fastest Devin Harris had just run in. Inside the three-point line.

This fast break slightly changed the situation on the court. Nowitzki encountered Stephen's double-team during the offense, but Josh Howard missed the shot in the open position. The rebound was stolen by Bruce Bowen. Bruce Bowen After Wen got the ball, he threw it directly into the field. After Stephen received the ball, he passed it forward again. Like a relay, the ball came to Tony Parker.

But at this time Devin Harris also ran over, Tony Parker did not force the shot, but after shaking it, he passed the ball back to Stephen, who stood outside the three-point line and did not hesitate after receiving the ball He shot directly, with a swish, and the crisp friction sound was like the sound of Xianle Lun, which made the hearts of the fans feel refreshed.

This three-pointer narrowed the gap to only one point, but after coming over, Jason Terry also made a three-pointer, and restored the gap of four points. Stephen and Josh Howard got entangled when fighting for rebounds. The referee came over and gave Josh Howard a foul. Stephen deliberately pursued and failed, but an unintentional rebounding fight achieved his goal.

After watching Josh Howard off the court, Stephen made the first free throw, but stumbled and rolled off the basket for the second free throw. Three or four people rushed in, but no one grabbed the rebound. After a while, it came to Stephen's hand again.

When Stephen raised his hand and was about to make a shot, he suddenly saw Bruce Bowen in the corner on one side who had been waiting for a long time, so he forcibly changed his shot. He was going to throw the ball to the basket, but the ball flew towards Bruce Bowen. It looks like Stephen threw the ball into the corner.

Bruce Bowen lived up to Stephen's pass, and the ball fell into the basket steadily. After more than half a quarter of hardships, the Spurs finally tied the score. The Mavericks immediately called a timeout. Once the Spurs overtook It's not that easy to think about it again. Up to now, basically everyone can see that the strength of the Spurs and the Mavericks is almost the same.

Avery Johnson asked the players to stabilize their minds and not to panic, but when arranging this must-have offense, seeing Nowitzki panting heavily, Avery Johnson hesitated and hit Nowitzki Ji hasn't rested for a minute. Judging from his performance, he didn't perform well in this quarter. Are you sure he will complete this attack?

But nowitzki could not be replaced at this time. Thinking that most of Nowitzki's physical strength was consumed by entanglement with Duncan, Avery Johnson replaced Diop with Dampier and asked Dampier to defend Duncan. Nowitzki was relieved of the heavy burden of defense so that he could focus on offense.

Avery Johnson felt that it was not a good idea for him to let Nowitzki entangle with Duncan. Nowitzki's strength is offense rather than defense. It is a waste of time for him to give up what he is best at to fight defense with the opponent. With so much physical strength, Duncan's condition is not that good this season, so it really doesn't matter so much.

After the timeout, the offense of the Mavericks changed. Nowitzki ran over and made a pick-and-roll with Stackhouse. Stephen and Duncan exchanged defensive targets. At this time, the ball was still in Stackhouse's hands. For Duncan, Stackhouse changed several times at his feet, and Duncan was always in front of him like a wall, so he had to pass the ball back to Nowitzki.

At this time, Nowitzki stood outside the three-point line. After receiving the ball, Nowitzki turned sideways, leaning against Stephen and began to hit inside. Stephen pressed Nowitzki's huge body hard, trying to block him. Outside, Nowitzki was already prepared for Stephen's defense. He turned back, and while Stephen was shrinking back, he suddenly pushed forward again, squeezing out a gap.

With Stephen on one side, Nowitzki didn't dare to make a fadeaway jumper like he used to, but stood his ground and put the ball into the hoop just like that. The Mavericks led by two points again, but after coming back, Duncan suddenly found that the defender behind him had become Dampier, and immediately asked for two positions, then turned around and put the ball into the basket.

At the end of the third quarter, Duncan succeeded in three of four attacks and scored six points, but Nowitzki also scored five points for the Mavericks. At this time, without the coach's instructions, Nowitzki and Dampier After changing back, Duncan seemed to have found the confidence to attack. Even if he was replaced by Nowitzki, he still had nothing to do with Duncan. Can stop the basketball from getting into the hoop.

Duncan missed the free throw, but the rebound was taken by Stephen. After getting the rebound first, Stephen took off and dunked the ball into the basket again as soon as he landed. The Spurs took a five-point lead. Each attack was missed, and the third quarter ended.

In the fourth quarter, both Duncan and Nowitzki went to rest. Both sides played with half of the bench lineup. At this time, Stephen first received a pass from Van Exel and hit a jumper, and then made a jump shot in the next attack. Lee assisted Van Exel to hit a three-pointer. After coming over to give Stackhouse a big cap, he launched a fast break with Van Exel. Although he did not score, it caused a foul by Devin Harris , Made two free throws.

In just over 2 minutes, Stephen scored seven points, two rebounds, one assist and one block. At the same time, he led the Spurs to expand the score gap to more than ten points in one fell swoop, forcing the Mavericks to replace the main team in advance. The Spurs used the substitute lineup To deal with it, after barely entangled for 2 minutes, they also switched to the main lineup, and kept the 28-point gap to the end. In this game, Stephen's 25 points and eight rebounds and Duncan's [-] points and [-] rebounds were combined for a moment. Having won the two major contributors to this crucial game, the Spurs also won the match point with a [-]-[-] advantage.

After only one day of rest, the sixth game between the Spurs and the Mavericks began at the American Airlines Center Arena.
