Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 282 The Three Musketeers Entering the Championship!

June 11, American Airlines Center Arena.

The Suns challenged the Mavericks as a guest.

In other words, since Cuban took over the Mavericks, the strength of this team that has been rebuilt for many years has improved qualitatively.

No way, the boss is too willing to spend money.

With a record of 57 wins and 25 losses last season, the Mavericks continued to strengthen their lineup this season.

Using Juwan Howard + draft picks, traded from the Nuggets for Nick Van Esselkel + 98 pick Rick LaFrentz.

And in the free market, signed Lagabel, who was not wanted by the 76ers.

At the beginning of the new season, the Mavericks are stronger than the Suns. With one more game, they have a record of 11 consecutive victories.

The "three carriages" officially entered the ranks of the championship.

In other words, this match is also the most focused battle for the top spot.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, the game began.

The Suns starting five, Arenas, Hill, Hardaway, Marion, Stoudemire.

The Mavericks started with 5 people, Nash, Lagabel, Finley, Nowitzki, River LaFrentz.

beep-!
The whistle sounded and the referee threw the basketball into the sky.

With his height advantage, Nowitzki transferred the basketball to Nash.

On the first down, the Mavericks go first.

Nash and Novitzs played a pick-and-roll tactic.

After breaking through the three-point line and attracting the Suns' defense to shrink, Nash then swung the basketball out of the three-point line.

At the top arc, Nowitzki catches the ball and sets up the turret. When Hill and Marion make a desperate save, they draw their bows and arrows, and shoot a three-pointer...

Swish-!
As the pinnacle of evacuating the inside line, Nuo Tianwang easily made a three-pointer and took the lead.

0 to 3! !
Last season, Nash's strength reached its peak, averaging 18 points and 8 assists per game.

This season continued the performance of last season.

Nowitzki averaged 23 points per game last season, and this season he is even stronger, averaging 26 points per game, reaching his peak.

With the combination of one pass and one shot, scoring is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

The Mavericks' offensive firepower has reached the extreme, to be reasonable.

However, no matter how strong the offense is, it must also be defended.

then……

The Suns attack.

Arenas broke through Nash's defense, tore through the Mavericks' defense, and went to the basket with a smash.

2 to 3! !
Can't help but...

This sword is double-edged.

The offense is always unfavorable, but the defense is active, but it is useless.

Fortunately, Mavericks coach Nelson Sr. didn't care too much.

He is now only indulging in various offensive experiments, and the defense is directly ignored.

As long as the offense scores more than the opponent, the final winner is the Mavericks.

With this in mind, Nash launched a run and bomb.

The speed flew up, and a simple change of direction in the frontcourt passed Arenas and easily entered the three-point line.

When Stoudemire rushed over to help defend, the basketball had already been sent to the sky.

Bang-dang-!
Rick LaFrentz made an alley-oop from the basket and sent the basketball to the basket.

2 to 5! !
Not to mention, this extraordinary, this pass is so elegant.

Offensively, Nash's assists are unreasonable.

The Suns attack.

Arenas held the ball and forced Nash. At this time, Lagabel rushed to defend.

Marion was a little inexplicable, and felt that this trick was destined for him.

Lagabel averaged only 3 points per game. The reason why he started one-third of the season this season is because he wants to wipe Nash's ass.

After all, Finley is too old to balance offense and defense.

Arenash passed the basketball, Hill caught the ball, broke into the paint, and made a two-point jumper from close range.

4 to 5! !
In the commentary room of TNT radio, McBrin directly commented: "The Mavericks' defensive system is still so bad.

The regular season can probably win a lot.

But if you want to go further, it is not enough to just attack. "

Groom Albert smiled and said calmly, "Regardless of the future, the Mavericks' offensive style is still very attractive to fans in terms of viewing."
