Chapter 284 G1 Victory
Josh Howard played one offense and one defense, and his performance was very eye-catching.

But at this moment, a figure rushed in with a "whoosh", leaped high, grabbed the basketball in the air, and slammed it into the basket.

boom!
Dwyane Wade's back button.

31: 21.

You have Josh Howard, I have Dwyane Wade.

They are all virtues, who is afraid of whom?

But in the next round, Josh Howard headed "Desperate Saburo" Posey into the paint and forced a jumper.

Swish!
31: 23.

There was commotion at the American Airlines Center.

Dirk Nowitzki just got snuffed out, Josh Howard is here again?
And this guy is scoring consecutive points against the desperate Posey, which is too tough.

That's right, there are many scorers in the Mavericks: Nowitzki, Terry, Van Horn, Stackhouse, Harris...

But the only one who can fight tough battles is Josh Howard.

This poor child with deformed legs and abandoned by his father has experienced countless hardships and has a tenacious will.

But looking back, O'Neal finally scored on Diop's head.

This is O'Neal's first shot tonight, not easy.

But he is O'Neill after all!
Who would have thought O'Neal couldn't score?

33: 23.

The Mavericks attack.

Josh Howard continued to storm.

But this time, his shot missed under Posey's desperate interference.

Bang!

Miami fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Barkley also commented: "At the end of the day, Josh is only a third-year student. His previous performance has been very good, and we can't ask for more."

Old Miller nodded: "That's right! He has made his due contribution, enough!"

The Heat took advantage of this opportunity to launch a defensive counterattack and make another victory.

35: 23.

The difference has widened again.

Since then, no one from the Mavericks has been able to stand up and narrow the point difference.

At the end, 91:77, the Heat won 14 points in the first game of the finals, which can be regarded as a big victory.

诺维斯基全场21投7中，三分球5中1，得到17分7篮板2助攻1盖帽。

Terry had 12 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.

Josh Howard had 14 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.

Only three of the entire Mavericks scored in double figures.

There is no doubt that the Heat's defensive strategy in the first game was very successful, and Li Lei's restrictions on Nowitzki were also in place.

Nowitzki, who averaged more than 27 points per game in the first three rounds, only scored 17 points in this game.

Eight of them were scored before Li Lei defended him.

After Li Lei defended Nowitzki, Nowitzki made a total of 17 of 3 shots, which was extremely inefficient.

For the Heat, Wade scored a game-high 22 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.

李磊把更多的精力投入防守端，数据一般，13分6篮板3助攻2抢断3盖帽。

O'Neal's poor state in the first game, 15 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.

The performances of Mourning and Payton are quite impressive.

These old guys from the old days are very used to this kind of hand-to-hand combat.

莫宁全场4投4中，得到10分6篮板1抢断2盖帽。

佩顿7中4，得到10分3篮板3助攻2抢断1盖帽。

Posey's performance is also worthy of the title of "Desperate Saburo", with 9 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal.

After the first match, the fan forums were instantly flooded with comments.

"Tell me, who else can stop the Miamis?"

"The Mavericks are so strong, but they still fell behind from half a quarter until the end. The Heat are too strong!"

"Okay, I'm showing my cards, I'm not pretending. I'm a 20-year Heat veteran."

"Brother upstairs, the Heat were founded in 1988, did you count the 20 years from the womb?"

"Hahahaha! I laughed so hard, 20-year-old secret."

"After this battle, who dares to say that Stone's DPOY is controversial? Stand up and let me see!"

"No problem! Nowitzki faced Li Lei and made 17 of 3 shots. Li Lei's defensive ability is beyond doubt."

"But my big German tank... oh."

"A big man at 2 meters likes to float near the three-point line to shoot. Such a style of play will definitely not work! Look, at the critical moment, it won't work."

"He is worthy of his reputation as a softie."

"No, I think Nowitzki's style of play is very good! He did play poorly this game, but what about the first three rounds? Facing Gasol, Duncan, and Marion, he averaged 27 points and 11.7 rebounds per game 2.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.6 blocks. Isn’t that okay?”

"Of course not, if you do, you won't be frozen by Li Lei."

"The soft-ball style of play, the second-in-command is fine, Nowitzki is the core of the Mavericks, of course not."

"How many big men over 7 feet are going to shoot from the outside?"

……

You read that right, Nowitzki's style of play was questioned in that era.

Fans of Dirk Nowitzki can go around the world.

In addition to Dallas, the media in other places is also quite unfriendly to Nowitzki.

Back then, Chinese fans were also an important part of the trolls.

But there are also people who really love Nowitzki.

Mavericks owner Cuban then said in front of the media: "I have never doubted Dirk's ability, he will become the best star in the league, I have always, no! I will always believe this."

"It's Stone instead, that guy isn't playing ball at all. He's fighting, brutal thug, why doesn't he go to a wrestling match?"

"If I were the referee, I'd have ejected him in the first quarter."

For Nowitzki, Cuban directly sprayed Li Lei, and he was also drunk.

Looking at the report, Li Lei couldn't help laughing.

If there is a boss who treats me like this, I will probably follow him wholeheartedly.

It's a pity that such a boss is hard to come by.

Even Cuban, he just likes Nowitzki.

Others, including Nash and Finley, Cuban also said that if they turn their faces, they will turn their faces.

Before the second battle, a reporter interviewed Li Lei and asked about Cuban.

This is picking things up and trying to create topics.

But Li Lei is still Li Lei, so how could he fall into the trap so easily.

Li Lei replied with a smile: "As for what Cuban said, I raise my hands in favor. One day, Dirk will become the best player in this league, very strong."

"As for the title softie, some people used to call me that, but is there still such a voice now?"

"Look, I'm actually as far away as Dirk, I'm even longer. But the fans call me a tough guy and Dirk a jerk. The way I see it, it's just because Dirk is taller."

"People aren't used to a 213-foot-[-] guy floating around and shooting from the perimeter."

"But whether it is right or wrong, only time will tell. I hope everyone will be more patient. The emergence of any new thing will not happen overnight."

"Maybe one day, Dirk will prove that his way is right."
