Chapter 176

After nearly a week of offseason during the All-Star weekend, the first opponent of the Cleveland Cavaliers is the visiting Dallas Mavericks. This is a very strong opponent.

Possess the strength to fight for the championship!

The offensive firepower of the Dallas Mavericks can make the entire NBA team tremble. Under the leadership of the head coach "Mad Scientist" Don Nelson, their offensive style of play is terrifying and can take away the game in an instant. The style of play is very wild.

In particular, in the 03-04 season, while maintaining the core players of the "Trident" Finley, Nowitzki, and Nash, he signed an All-Star scorer in his prime. Jamison with 22.5 points.

And Antoine Walker, who loves shooting three-pointers and has All-Star scoring ability.

Walker, who used to shine as a double star of the Celtics, played in the Eastern Conference Finals and has a strong scoring ability, even though he is fat!
Just looking at this lineup makes all the opposing teams feel desperate. This can form a starting lineup of the All-Star Five Tigers!Thinking about the violent attack scene, it is really scary.

Fortunately, the Dallas Mavericks have obvious advantages, as well as obvious weaknesses.

For example, they are very powerful on the offensive end, but they are very poor on the defensive end. They are talking about attacking and winning!
Another example is that there is a problem with their lineup, focusing on offense rather than defense, and focusing on outside and inside. The strength of the inside center is a weakness.

Pile up a bunch of good offensive players who don't do the dirty work.

Even if a blue-collar center who can only defend is signed, the strength of the Mavericks will be even more terrifying.

At present, the Dallas Mavericks' record is only 33 wins and 20 losses, ranking fifth in the West. It's not that they are not strong. One is that the competition in the Western Theater is too fierce, and the other is that they are adjusting the lineup at the beginning of the new season. , There are too many good cards in the hand, which is enough to cause headaches, so I lost some games that should not be lost.

However, entering 2004, the Dallas Mavericks had a 9-game winning streak. Although the current state is a bit up and down, it is obvious that they have found the rhythm of winning, but they still think more, so there will be fluctuations.

So what if the Dallas Mavericks fluctuate?You must know that they are a team that is best at playing the regular season. In the regular season when the defensive level is not strong, their offensive firepower becomes stronger.

Before the game, media reporters were optimistic that the Mavericks would turn away and beat the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavaliers are in a bad state recently, especially the performance of the stars is unstable. One game is good and the other is not good. This is the existence of a young team. The problem.

This Cavaliers team needs to be 100% in order to win, and now the young Cavaliers have entered Poss, which is not a good time.

Lin Bai frowned, and soon his face became cloudy and rainy.

On the [Basketball Pope Game] page, there was a [Shooting Reminder Card], which made him more confident about the matchup.

After more than 10 games of silence, [Basketball Pope Game] finally has a favorite opponent, and the Dallas Mavericks do have the confidence.

Still, this team is going to be tough to chew on, that's for sure.

……

At 2004:2 pm on February 18, 9, the Cleveland Cavaliers played against the Dallas Mavericks in the Quicken Loans Arena, officially preparing to start.

After a simple appearance and layup warm-up, the starting lineup players from both sides came to the middle circle of the basketball court, ready to scramble for the ball.

On the commentary stage, with a smile on his face, Barkley said loudly: "This time Ilgauskas finally has an opponent. Bradley is 229cm tall. He can bully his opponent on the jump ball and let Ilgauskas Ergoskas tastes the taste of bullying people with height, it is so exciting!"

Kenny Smith shook his head with a smile, and took over the topic, "You only have this bit of stamina? Let's see who the starting lineup players of both sides are, and the game is about to start..."

The list of Cavaliers starting roster players is lined up, in order, point guard LeBron James, shooting guard Lin Bai, small forward Elke Williams, power forward Carlos Boozer, center Zha Zhu Nas Ilgauskas.

The Mavericks' starting five are point guard Stephen Nash, shooting guard Michael Finley, small forward Towanan Walker, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, and center Sean Bradley.

"Beep!!!"

The whistle from the referee's mouth sounded, and the basketball in his hand was thrown high into the air, and the game began with a scrimmage.

Bradley vs Ilgauskas!

The two jumped almost at the same time, both of which were floor jumps. Ilgauskas, who once stood out from the crowd, no longer had the height he could rely on the most. Skills are really difficult to use in jump balls.

Bradley relied on his height to overcome his opponent in the jump ball and dial the basketball into Finley's hands.

Finley gave the ball to Nash, received the ball at a fast pace, and advanced to the frontcourt. With a light cross dribble, Nash broke through James' defense from the middle and went inside.

Nash's breakthrough speed does not look fast, James turns back to chase, Boozer is also guarding the basket, Nash has no easy shot space.

Unexpectedly, Nash dribbled the ball to the dense inside line, but did not rush to attack, and circled around the basket full of people.

His eyes suddenly lit up, his hands piled up, and there was a clear snap, which was a ground pass. Nash didn't worry about being intercepted at all, and his face was very calm.

After the basketball hit the floor, it bounced and flew to the outside of the three-point line. Nowitzki caught the ball in front of the frame, directly drew the bow and set the arrow, and then leaned back and shot a three-pointer.

Boozer retreated to the inside, and when he saw Nowitzki make a shot, he yelled in his heart!

Dirk Nowitzki was the No. 1999 pick in the first round in 113. He was nicknamed "The King of Nowitzki". He is 111cm tall and weighs [-]kg.

In his rookie season, he was able to contribute 8.2 points and 3.4 rebounds, which was an average performance.

To be honest, Wang Zhizhi competed with him at that time, but he was in the leading position. The number one center in Asia is not just bragging!
However, when Wang Zhizhi was playing for the country, Nowitzki stayed and trained while playing in the summer league. In the second year, he exploded completely, averaging 17.5 points and 8.5 rebounds per game.

Wang Zhizhi was firmly pressed on the bench, which became his obsession.

In the following season, Nowitzki scored 20+ consecutive years and was selected as an All-Star.

This season, due to the arrival of several good offensive players, his scoring has declined, and he is still able to average 22.5 points and 8.6 rebounds per game.

Actually let Dirk Nowitzki?

However, Nash's pass is also just right, so that Nowitzki's catch and shoot rhythm is very stretched, and there is no excess in the shooting action.

The basketball is like plucking the strings, and it is pulled out of Nowitzki's hand, and it feels very smooth, as silky.

The basketball draws a wonderful arc in the air.

The pure white net flowers overflowed, and there was a swish sound of net cleaning, and the basketball fell into the basket precisely, piercing through the heart, and there was a burst of water splash.

Hands up and down, hit a three-pointer, 3 to 0! !
As soon as the game started, the "Trident" of the Dallas Mavericks began to show off, and Nowitzki hit a wonderful three-pointer, which was the first to win! !
