Chapter 314 The Boos of the Dallas People

The Mavericks are now 13-12, which is a very, very dangerous record.This is also why Boss Ku is so anxious now, directly advancing the transaction that would only appear in February next year in history, and firing Avery Johnson because of this record.

13 wins and 12 losses, this record should look good, but this is in the West, in the highly competitive West.

If it is in the East, among other things, Avery Johnson can at least keep his handsome position.Because of this record, it shouldn't be a big problem to enter the playoffs, but in the West, that would be dangerous.

As mentioned before, in the NBA Western Division in the 07-08 season, the playoff competition was extremely fierce. Historically, the Denver Nuggets, who have achieved No. , then the Mavericks are likely to lose the chance of the playoffs.

Their current ranking is also very telling, just ranked tenth in the West.

If Cuban is not in a hurry, then he is not Cuban. However, the Mavericks' lineup is finally in line with Cuban's wishes, but it is really hard to say whether they can achieve better results.

Among other things, the Mavericks' first game after the trade was not easy to play. Although it was home, they were going to face the newly-emerged Orlando Magic this year.

New lineup, new coach, and the Mavericks have only one day to run in. One day later, that is, on December 12, they will face a strong opponent.

The NBA is like this, they don't wait until you are ready to start the game, the schedule has already started, it can't be changed!
On December 12th, in Dallas, Texas, the Airline Center Gymnasium was full of seats, and they were all preparing to welcome the new Mavericks to see if the Mavericks would bring them any surprises.

"Look, the players from both sides have already appeared. First of all, the players from the visiting team Magic. They look good, and they are all very energetic..." Smith, who was serving as the commentator for this game, was introducing the players of both sides. Of course, his old The partner is also here.

"Haha, it seems that the fans in Dallas don't welcome the Magic, although I didn't hear many boos." Barkley still likes to interrupt so much.

"Hehe, oh, the home team's players have entered the field, first of all is Hu..." However, before Smith finished speaking, a surprising scene appeared in the Airline Center Gymnasium.

"Shhhhhhhhhhh..." The fans booed quite a bit!

"Wow! Is this booing Hu Lin? Haha, I didn't expect Hu to be treated like this in his first game in Dallas." Barkley immediately reacted when he heard the booing. The guy is just gloating.

That's right, he was booing Lao Hu. To be honest, when the booing came out, Lao Hu was also surprised. It's okay to be booed by the away fans, but it's too depressing to be booed by the home fans.

However, Lao Hu immediately understood why he was booed, which is normal.

The first is this deal. The Mavericks got Lao Hu at the expense of their star of hope, Devin Harris.This guy's popularity in Dallas is not low, not to mention his fast speed and skill, he is also very handsome.

Although Lao Hu felt nothing about the last point, this factor definitely existed.

In addition, the Knicks double-killed the Mavericks last season, among which Lao Hu contributed the most. He also won a game against the Mavericks a few days ago. How could the fans forget.

Well, as a professional player, you shouldn't be distracted by such things, Lao Hu decided to ignore these boos.Moreover, it's okay, after all, he is a player of his home team, and Lao Hu was not booed for too long, because the game has started.

This season, the Mavericks have undergone many changes. For example, the jumper has become Diop, and the performance of the "No. [-] Center in the Western Conference" is too bad, so this guy can only do it off the court.

But there are also unchanged, such as the Mavericks' defense.

That's right, Lao Hu has said so much, almost revealing his truth, but unfortunately, he has not been able to impress Rick Carlisle.

In this game, the Mavericks still used man-to-man defense, and it was a thorough American man-to-man defense.

In fact, it is right to think about it. How could Carlisle, a successful famous coach, be persuaded by Lao Hu so easily, not to mention that this guy has not been here for a long time. Even if he wants to play zone defense, he has to check the wind direction.

So, how can the Mavericks play against such a strong opponent as the Magic?

The answer is very simple, just play normally!

It is the normal tactics of the Mavericks, that is, everyone scores more goals than anyone else.

Although Hu Lin is now the point guard of the Mavericks, this rhythm really cannot be lowered.

Among other things, Jason Terry ran out of a good position. Don't tell me you don't give him the ball, Hu.

What's more, the Mavericks' shot is really accurate, so good!

Only in the first quarter, the Mavericks gave the Magic a big blow, 32 to 20. They relied on their stormy offense to beat their opponents who had no power to fight back.

The speed is very fast, but fortunately, the new Knicks are quite adaptable, of course that guy Jerome James should be excluded.

David Lee's mid-range shot is still very impressive, Lao Hu also threw two three-pointers, and House is still sitting on the sidelines. Not even their numbers changed much.

The game is still the same, the Mavericks are still desperate, that is, to attack aggressively.Although the Magic's 'Big Three' played well, the score continued to be stretched.

62 to 48, the Mavericks entered the second half with a 12-point lead.

In the locker room, the Mavericks players were very happy, after all, leading, and this is the basketball they have always insisted on, without any change.

Carlisle is also a good talker, but this guy still has a very good tactical quality. In terms of level, he must be much better than Thomas, so the tactical arrangement is also very targeted.

Everything seems to be perfect, but this is the NBA, and it is not so easy to win a game.

In the third quarter, the Magic seemed to wake up and immediately began to flex their muscles.

The Mavericks' defensive weaknesses were exposed, as if the halftime break had no effect at all, and the physical strength of these guys was only able to shoot when they were attacking.

Even Howard, who is not strong in offensive ability, has begun to show his power. The "No. [-] Center in the Western Conference" has lost the right to speak in this dialogue, and has been violently suppressed by Howard again and again.

There was no other way, and the coolie Diop had to go up to carry it, but the effect was not particularly obvious.

Once the inside line is played, the outside line is easy to open. Rashad Lewis and others are not vegetarians, and there is another burst of swish!
87 to 83. After the third quarter, the Mavericks only had a 4-point lead. If it weren't for their offensive level, they might have let their opponents overtake.

It didn't take long to overtake. With 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Magic relied on Howard's alley-oop, 96 to 95, and overtook the score. At this time, both sides were all starters.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." This booing was not for Howard, the fans were booing the old Hu who is now in possession of the ball.

Because they felt that this new guy made the Mavericks fall behind. If Devon Harris was still there, the Mavericks would definitely not be able to play so hard.

But it doesn't matter, Lao Hu has now regarded these boos as cheers, and he can pass the ball as he wants.

The game was still going on tensely. Although the Magic regained the initiative, the Mavericks' offense was still at a certain level under Nowitzki's play.

Time is slowly passing by. Although the fourth quarter of the game is going on slowly as usual, and various timeout fouls continue to interrupt the game, but the last moment is still coming.

boom!Swish! "Oooo!……"

This is a three-pointer after hitting the board, and it is at the last second of this offense. Unfortunately, it is not a Mavericks player who makes this goal, but Nelson of the Magic.

106 to 108. There are still 31 seconds left in the time, and the Mavericks are two points behind their opponents. This is really not a good situation. It should be said that the Mavericks have been cornered.

"Oh God! Nelson made this fatal three-pointer. Although the goal is not very good-looking, it is really a very crucial goal..." Smith was feeling emotional, but his old partner came out again.

"I thought the Germans would decide the outcome of the game. I didn't expect this little guy to stand up. It's great!" For these two teams, Barkley is now a completely neutral fan.

The sideline commentary can be neutral, but the players on the field are not so relaxed, even if it is timeout.

That's right, it's very normal for Carlisle to call a timeout immediately after being shot by an opponent with such a fatal goal.

"Jason, you have to come here...Finally, let Dirk take the shot! OK?" Carlisle is making the final arrangements. He doesn't want to lose at home in his first game in office and still lead before in the case of.

"OK, no problem." Not only Lao Hu, but also other players. This arrangement is quite good, and there is nothing wrong with letting the German take the shot in the end. He is the biggest star of this team.

The game came back immediately, the two sides stood up, the ball was sent out, and everyone's running started immediately.

Carlisle's arrangement this time is a double screen, Terry is running, he has been slipping from the baseline, and the wall formed by Nowitzki and Diop helped him block the pursuers behind him.

Good chance, the bottom line is completely empty, and Terry is temporarily unguarded.

Hey, Lao Hu's ball has also arrived. This is a very fast and decisive pass. Terry catches it very comfortably, and he has plenty of time to make a shot!
But the Magic's defense also came. This was the last ball, and Howard didn't care about it. He rushed directly to Terry in the corner!

Pass the ball!

The planned pass, because Nowitzki has come to the 45-degree angle of the three-point line at this time, he is the protagonist of this attack!
This is also Carlisle's double screen. The difference is that Nowitzki has quietly moved to the outside!

Bang!Unfortunately, Nowitzki's shot was shot!
