Chapter 346
"Don't go in! Don't go in! Don't go in!..." This is a very hasty shot. Anyway, Lao Hu thinks this shot is hasty, because Ray Allen's shot is so fast that he can't even feel that this guy has aimed. basket.Therefore, Lao Hu silently recited the mantra of thousands of times in his heart, praying that this basketball will hit hard!
Swish!
Oh oh oh! ...

It seems that this spell is useless at all, not only Lao Hu, but the fans in the entire route center are very disappointed.

Beep!Time is running out. There are 0.4 seconds left after the goal is scored. The Mavericks really have no chance to comeback. Lao Yu is with the Lakers.

The feeling of being killed by someone is really uncomfortable. Although Lao Hu has experienced it many times, it is still uncomfortable!
91 to 92, the Mavericks were double-killed by the Celtics!Once the game was over, Carlisle called everyone together, and the current Mavericks needed a boost.

"Gentlemen! Although we lost this game, we played great! This cannot be ignored by anyone. I am sincerely proud of everyone's performance. Don't doubt, what I said is true! "

After looking at the players of the Mavericks, they were all attracted by him, and Carlisle continued.

"Our current situation is not very good. We are still a little short of the playoffs, but it is only a little bit. Although we lost the game against the Celtics today, our performance is enough to prove our excellence. The playoffs are not a problem at all, as long as we can continue to play today! But what I really want to say is that we are not a playoff team!"

As soon as these words came out, the old men of the Mavericks were all stupid, isn't it a playoff team?

"We are a championship team! What are the playoffs? For us, that is not an obstacle at all. I don't like fishing, and I believe you don't like it either, right?!"

"Yes! Who likes fishing!"

"That's right! I just like to eat fish!"

Everyone agreed, even if they really like fishing at this time, it is impossible to say it, isn't that too stupid!
Seeing that the current atmosphere is good, Carlisle immediately added a fire.

"Who are we? We are MAVERICKS! We are mavericks!"

"Yes! A maverick!"

"Maverick!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

All of a sudden, this defeat by the opponent disappeared.

The word MAVERICK has two meanings, the calf is only one of them, but in fact the complete meaning is 'an animal that has not been branded', and the other is Terry who walks alone and succeeds.In fact, this word still has more of the second meaning, but the domestic translation is like this, Maverick.It is estimated that the person who translated this name must have not seen the team logo of the Mavericks at that time, because it is obviously a horse head!
At this time, we must motivate the players. After all, this is a lore. Although the opponent is the current No. [-] in the league, and the No. [-] in the league that has left other teams far away, it still makes people feel discouraged. of.

Carlisle doesn't want to see the team downcast. This is absolutely not possible, so he has to speak. As a head coach, this is his responsibility.

The backbone of the Mavericks should now be Nowitzki, but this German is a guy who is not very good at yelling. He is a good man, a good player, and can do almost everything on the court, but he doesn't like talking to himself too much. teammates yelling.

Of course, it's not very good to simply yell at your teammates, but it's obviously not good if you don't say a word.To put it simply, Nowitzki is not like a boss, the boss of the team, he is more like an office worker who clocks in at work and returns home on time.

Therefore, Carlisle had to come out and say that there was no way to do it. He didn't want to bring the emotion of being a lore in this game to the next game, because the Mavericks' next game was not very good. Going to play against the San Antonio Spurs at home!
That's it. The Mavericks' recent schedule is so bad. After finishing first and second this year, they have to play last year's championship. Many people were optimistic about their losing streak early on, but it's not bad. The Lakers were won. up.

There is no way who made the Mavericks' previous schedule too easy, and now they have to pay back the debt.

Time flies, the two-day preparation period of the Mavericks is about to run out, and on January 1th, their opponent, the Spurs, is here!

"Hello, viewers. Welcome to the 07-08 season...the Mavericks vs. Spurs game at home. Today, when you came to our studio as a guest, Mr. Zhang, I would like to ask Mr. Zhang to give you a pre-match review."

There is nothing to say about this game. The Rockets and the Bucks did not have a game. The Lakers are playing against the Warriors, which is obviously not as attractive as this battle. So Yu Jia came again, and this time his partner was Mr. Zhang.

"Hello everyone, audience friends. This game belongs to the Texas Civil War, so it can be regarded as a derby. The situation of the two sides before the game is not the same. The Spurs just won the Kings at home, and the Mavericks lost to the Celtics. Today The Celtics are too good, no one is easy to play, and the Mavericks let their family kill them, and they played very exciting and intense...." Teacher Zhang is still his old style, before the game, the situation between the two sides In other words, the Mavericks are working hard to enter the playoffs, and the Spurs are trying to compete for the first place in the Western Conference.

Anyway, this is the situation, and the battle between the bull and the horse will begin immediately.

"The list of starting players is out, huh! The Spurs are different this time. Ginobili and Oberto are directly listed. These two Argentines came up together, but nothing else has changed, Bowen. , Parker, Duncan is still there. The Mavericks still have the same lineup, Nowitzki, David Lee, Diop, Hu Laijia Jones, Carlisle is basically the opening lineup after the arrival..." Mr. Zhang was introducing the opening starts of the two sides, with the same style.

"Judging from the situation in the entire Western Conference, although the Mavericks lost to the Celtics in the last game, they won the Lakers before, and the main competitor of the Mavericks is the Warriors. They failed to win the game, and they will go to challenge the Lakers away today, so if the Mavericks can win this game, they should be able to return to the eighth position in the Western Conference." Talk about the competition situation.

Although there is no comparison between the Warriors and the Lakers, from a historical point of view, it is difficult for the Warriors to win an away game. The Mavericks are only half a game away from the Warriors. As long as they can win the Spurs, they will really be eighth. .

But the problem is, the Spurs are really hard to deal with.

The game will start immediately, and the Mavericks will take the lead in attacking. Lao Hu's current position is a very orthodox point guard, not the combo guard he used to be in the Knicks. Therefore, he is now facing Tony Parker, not the former old guard. Opponent Bruce Bowen.

Lao Hu and Bowen have a lot of stories, but this is just the beginning, and Popovich has no reason to send his strongest defensive player.Besides, from the point of view of the head coach, it is best for the two of them not to meet again, so as to save any unexpected twists and turns in this game.

Therefore, during the opening period, both sides fought very calmly, and they were all making tentative attacks with their conventional weapons.

What are the conventional weapons of both sides?
Three point shot!
That's right, it's a three-pointer. Everyone in the Mavericks knows that the three-point line is their lifeline.In fact, the Spurs are similar. Perhaps in the highlights, Tony Parker, Ginobili and others all made sharp cuts, but in fact the real strength of the Spurs is their three-pointers.

However, the Spurs' three-pointers are not the same as those of the Mavericks. The Mavericks' three-pointers are unreasonable or even unreasonable in many cases, but they are this style.But the Spurs, that is a completely reasonable shot, they keep passing the ball without openings, and resolutely do not shoot without openings.

This is the basketball style of the Spurs. They are the team with the best overall tactical literacy in the league. As long as Popovich is still there, the Spurs will always maintain this style and play pure team basketball.

Shua, Shua, Shua,...

The shooting percentages of both sides are good, but the power of team basketball must not be underestimated. After 5 minutes in the first quarter, the Mavericks trailed their opponents by 10 points 15 to 5.

These old guys are really good at playing. It seems that the basketball is moving extremely fast, and there is no muddy place at all. They are already a bunch of old ball ruffians.

How to do?
Run and bomb?Speed ​​up the offensive rhythm, don't they have more veterans for the Spurs?Isn't it enough for the Mavericks to drag down their opponents?

This trick won't work, obviously, because these old guys are not like Kobe, they won't be fooled.The Mavericks are coming soon, but the Spurs are still coming, and the Mavericks themselves are finished.

It's very difficult, especially for the current Mavericks. The Mavericks' defense is basically difficult to defend against opponents, but the Spurs' defense can defend against the Mavericks.

Simply, let's play 'reasonable basketball' too!

Lao Hu made a gesture, and everyone moved immediately, and Lao Li consciously came out to build a wall for Lao Hu.

After changing positions on the pick-and-roll, Lao Hu still chose to rush his opponent after being blocked for a while.

When Lao Hu made a sudden move, the Spurs immediately shrunk their defense, and the bottom corner was empty again!
After passing the ball, veteran Jones received the ball, and he immediately made a gesture.

The Spurs' defense was not covered. Someone came out to make up the defense immediately, and Jones was just posturing. His purpose from the beginning was to pass the ball.

David Lee, Nowitzki, this basketball has experienced two handovers, and finally, it finally came to the bottom corner on the other side.

Hurin!

After Lao Hu passed the ball, he immediately slipped from the baseline to the other side, and there was no one around him at this time.

Swish!Three points hit!

　Finally finished again, it was not easy.Keep asking for support, thank you!
