My superstar background board

Chapter 149
Sixth in the East, facing the No. [-] in the West and No. [-] in the league, this game is not favored by the outside world.

Big Bird Larry Bird happened to be a guest on a TV show, and the topic was brought up by the host through Nowitzki.

When it comes to Nowitzki, people always compare him with Bird. One is the greatest white player, and the other is the greatest white player after Bird.

Bird said: "About Dirk, he has proven himself in the past two years. He is very strong and a super scorer. In the game against Philadelphia, I am more optimistic about the Dallas Mavericks."

"First of all, because the Mavericks have the best record in the league, and also won 8 consecutive victories. Second, the 76ers mainly score points on the outside. Dirk is a player who can play both inside and outside. I think his scoring will be even better. Stablize."

Before the game, the game was also greatly exaggerated. Outside the Dallas home arena, a very large poster was pasted, showing the players of the two teams and the number 8vs9.

How could TNT let go of such an important game? Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith teamed up with NBA star Larry Bird to broadcast live.

At this time, Larry Bird has completed the transition from player to coach, and from coach to general manager of the team.

Speaking of his identity, he is not suitable to participate in this kind of commentary. It is said that Charles Barkley relied on his three-inch tongue, soft-spoken, and made a phone call for more than an hour before Bird agreed to go.

Charles Barkley even stated before the commentary: "You are a commentator today, a commentator, an NBA star, and the 50 greatest stars in history. Apart from that, you have no other identity."

Bird: "Damn it, I'm relieved if you say that."

Barkley and Kenny Smith laughed awkwardly and politely, and the "Godfather" of trash talk lived up to his reputation.

Barkley got to the point: "The two teams have been in the limelight recently. Philadelphia has made great progress from the bottom three in the Eastern Conference to sixth in the Eastern Conference. Dallas is strong and sits at the top of the league most of the time. , this game will definitely be more exciting than we imagined."

Kenny Smith said: "Yes, I don't think the sixth place in the Eastern Conference will be the end of Philadelphia's season. Now it depends on whether Dallas can stop their winning streak."

The two sides started, the 76ers in the away game: Ze Yang, Allen Iverson, Iguodala, Webber, Dalembert.

Home team Dallas Mavericks: Jason - Terry, Devin - Harris, Josh - Howard, Dirk - Nowitzki, Eric - Dampier.

The 76ers are also making the final mobilization before the game.

Cheeks asked the players to stand one by one from low to high, just like standing in a military posture in the army.

"Philadelphia lads, do you have the confidence to face No. [-] in the league?"

The collective shouted: "Yes!"

"our target is?"

No cavities.
"Get rid of Dallas and win ten consecutive victories!"

The outsiders looked awkward, but Cheeks smiled happily. Although the following schedule was difficult, they seemed to have played many incredible games this season.

Swept the Pistons, beat the Spurs, beat the Celtics by 59 points, so what about the league's first place, it's over.

With the opening whistle sounded, the game officially began.

The Dallas Mavericks took the lead in attacking. Devin Harris received the pass from Terry and hit the first mid-range shot amid the cheers of the Western Cowboys.

The 76ers counterattacked, and Yang Ze used his height advantage to pass the ball to Iguodala. Igo passed to Iverson and responded with a mid-range.

"It's different from what I imagined. The two sides launched a confrontation at the beginning."

After Barkley finished speaking, Kenny Smith, the best supporter, immediately took over: "One goal for one team also shows the determination of the two teams."

Larry Bird: "The cowboys are on horseback with revolvers and you can't expect them to go hand-to-hand, so these two teams don't really fight each other because they both believe that the best defense is attack."

As Big Bird said, both sides did not focus on defense after the opening, but launched a confrontation.

Dirk Nowitzki carried the banner of the Mavericks' offense, first with a signature golden rooster independent jumper.

In the next round of offense, Webb was brought out of the paint, passed to Josh Howard, and the layup was scored.

Larry Bird was not stingy with his praise and love for Dirk, saying: "This is Dirk's advantage. He can block and grab rebounds inside, and he can attack outside. Although Chris Webber also has outside ability, he can limit Dirk. , I can’t limit the inside line, I have a hunch that the inside line of the 76ers will be penetrated today.”

On the other hand, for the 76ers, Iverson hit the iron, and Yang Ze's three-pointer also suddenly hit the iron.

The Dallas Mavericks had a 6-0 spurt to widen the gap.

With the opportunity of a dead ball, Cheeks replaced Dalembert with Korver.

"Fuck, what kind of operation is this? I just said that the inside line will be penetrated, but Philadelphia just gave up the inside line. Are we going to surrender now?"

Bird's jaw would drop in shock. Even with a small lineup, it depends on what kind of team he is facing. For example, facing a team that is not strong inside, using this lineup to open up the situation is a good choice.

Charles Barkley did not agree with Big Bird's opinion, saying: "I think this substitution may be the cleverness of Philadelphia. In the past games, the 76ers used this lineup of one big and four small many times. This is tried and tested.

I have to say that if the hand feels good, it is difficult for any team to resist the offensive firepower of this lineup. Don't forget that the last game was played by such a lineup, and the Boston Celtics had no power to parry. "

The 76ers' offense did undergo some changes after Korver came on the court. First Korver hit a three-pointer to stabilize the situation.

Then Yang Ze used his defense to steal Jason Terry, and in the counterattack, he played a three-point chase again.

Two three-pointers brought the situation back.

You look look, this is the offensive firepower of Philadelphia's small lineup.

Kenny Smith: "Two waves of 6-0, Dallas took 1 minute and 20 seconds, and Philadelphia took 40 seconds, it was horrible."

Larry Bird: "Are you sure you read it right?"

Kenny Smith spread his hands helplessly, and said: "They attacked twice in a row, and there was still a chasing three-pointer behind Yang, how could it be wrong."

Bird: "I know this year's Philadelphia has become different after getting this rookie, but I didn't expect them to become so strong."

Returning to the same starting line again, the offense of both sides continues.

Nowitzki hit a three-pointer, Weber responded with a blast inside, Terry hit a mid-range shot, and Iverson also hit back with a breakthrough layup.

Iguodala received a pass from Yang Ze and made a layup from the bottom line to score 2+1. Devin Harris made another layup to tie the score.

"This kind of offensive battle is really exciting. The two teams showed various offensive skills. The more they play, the more exciting they will be."

After Larry Bird became the general manager of the Pacers, he paid more attention to his own team, but the outside teams knew less.

"I have to say, the Sixers surprised me that the offense was at the same level as the Dallas Mavericks, and they had so many points.

What surprised me the most was, are young people nowadays so strong? "

Yang Ze, Iguodala, and Korver have not been in the league for more than five years. Last season, Igo and Korver performed mediocrely. They have shown enough firepower on the offensive end this year, all because of The 76ers have a real point guard - Ze Yang.
