NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 363 Dangerous
At the beginning of the last quarter, the Mavericks still took the lead, and D'Antoni, who has always been a famous coach, was also a little anxious.

Russell, on the other hand, still looked calm, and he said to everyone: "Concentrate on it, just keep going, there is no need to hesitate."

Russell is not pretending, he is really calm, because it is really nothing to lose a game.

Some opponents will know enough after playing too many virtual games. The current Mavericks are really not Suns opponents.

When Russell came on the court again, the team played for a while.

In fact, it is to let Stoudemire rest for a while. Anyway, the offensive and defensive transition does not require everyone to run fast. A center with a solid defense can also implement tactics.

When Stoudemire didn't play, Russell adjusted his touch.

Can't get back to the fiery level, but it should be enough, because the hit rate on both sides is not very high.

After Stoudemire came on the court, the Suns began to fight back with all their strength.

When Russell scores fiercely, it really depends on whether he can make it or not. It is basically impossible to limit it.

He has a wide range of shots, and the key is that he can also use all kinds of strange shots, which can't be sealed.

Of course, there is no need to hide from the three-point line, and the Mavericks can't defend to that extent.

With only a [-]% shooting rate, Russell still led the team to close the score abruptly.

The Mavericks felt a lot of pressure, but they still played well, Nowitzki and Terry continued to attack.

Especially Nowitzki, who was really ruthless today, has been in high-intensity confrontation and got the most rebounds in the game.

Although some more fouls were called, Russell also admitted that this kind of hand-to-hand combat requires fouls.

It's impossible for Nowitzki to catch the ball from outside the three-point line and it's impossible to completely lock it up, so the score can be said to be deadlocked. The Mavericks still lead by a few points. They have an advantage from the beginning. I'm afraid they didn't think of it.

At this time, as long as the last few minutes are over, the Mavericks can win a victory.

As long as the sun can be defeated once, the situation may be different later.

Not to mention anything else, the mentality of the players will change, and this is the opportunity for the series.

In the middle of the last quarter, Millsap, who didn't play a lot in this game, fouled five times.

There is no way, Nowitzki is too strong, and Millsap has done a good job as a consumable.

This time the Suns kept Ellis on the court again, one because he was in good form this time, and the other is that the Suns' quick offense just now was more effective.

The sun didn't take advantage of the position today, so they didn't plan to leave the position.

This is a little risky but not too risky, the sun has this strength.

The key is that they played like this, and the Mavericks didn't dare to play the real fifth position.

In the last 5 minutes of the game, Russell made another pass to Ray Allen. The latter hit a three-pointer and the Suns overtook the opponent by 1 point.

But this time the leading time was very short. In the next round, Kidd blocked Ellis in the Suns' fast break and passed a good ball to help the Mavericks play a quick counterattack.

Russell was still in the backcourt just in time for Howard's quick play, and he could only choose to foul.

Howard made two free throws and the two teams tied.

The sun was hit next by Stoudemire, but unfortunately Terry scored a three-pointer on the Mavericks side, and the Mavericks took the lead again.

Although the Suns still caught up in the final quarter, it is relatively rare to play so fiercely at the last moment.

Nowitzki was really trying to grab rebounds when he was strictly guarded.

If the team needs it, Nowitzki is even willing to do dirty work. This is a bit different from the fans' impression, but he can really do it well.

As time dwindled, Russell also chose to take more shots.

He hit and hit the iron, the time passed by every minute, and it soon came to the last 2 minutes.

At the critical moment, Nowitzki made a strong shot, and the Mavericks took a two-point lead at the last moment.

At this time time is running out, the Mavericks deliberately took on the defensive lineup, Dampier and Devin - George up.

Russell still has the ball to cover, but this time he didn't pull it up forcibly, and now he can't hit [-]% of the shots directly, which is still a bit of a gamble.

He went straight to the inside, and the Mavericks quickly defended inside, but they were not too anxious. Russell's finishing ability at the basket was not strong.

There's no way around it, he's still not tall enough, and he's not a spring man.

But he saw Dampier coming up and started straight towards him.

Dampier was a little stunned, and then he became angry. Although he is a bit weak in the Mavericks, he is not easy to challenge.

Dampier moved in small steps and did not directly collide with Russell, but the two were already very close. Not to mention a big cap, Dampier at least had the confidence to block Russell's shooting space.

Russell made an action similar to a non-standard European step. Two steps came to Dampier's side and threw himself into the air.

Dampier also jumped up and stretched out his arm slightly. His arm blocked Russell's shooting line. There was nothing wrong with this defense. Although it gave Russell a little start, there was nothing wrong with facing the defender.

But what Dampier didn't expect was that Russell made a flexible half-turn in mid-air, and his arm was lifted up in the direction of playing the basket, which happened to be on his other hand.

Although Russell's bounce is not that good, his flexibility is still good.

The point is that he seldom hits the inside line, and everyone doesn't know his routine.

Russell made a deliberate foul this time, and he knew too well how Dampier would choose.

If you deliberately touch Dampier's outstretched arm, it will be more difficult and the referee will probably not blow it.

But the other arm got tangled up and the foul was all too obvious.

And Dampier's half-raised arm was just a habitual action, he never thought that Russell would play this idea, and he was still in a daze when the referee whistle sounded.

But no matter what, a foul is a foul, and Russell went straight to the free throw line.

Although the hand feeling is not very good today, it is impossible for Russell to make a mistake at the free throw line.

Two free throws were made, and the scores of both sides returned to the same level again.

The Mavericks requested a timeout, and the first team had another chance to attack in the remaining time.

After returning to the court, the Mavericks let Kidd hold the ball on the outside to control the time, but gave Nowitzki.

At the last moment, Nowitzki would most likely shoot by himself. There were only a few seconds left, and he rushed in again, looking like he was about to make a foul. The Suns immediately chose to flank.

But what I didn't expect was that Nowitzki rarely dumped the blame this time. He jumped up and passed the ball to Howard.

Howard had no time to think about it, so he made a mid-range shot.

Howard, who hadn't made a shot in the final quarter, made the ball steadily.

There was a huge cheer at the American Airlines Center, and with only 5 seconds left, the Mavericks took the lead again.
