Chapter 219 Victory over Mavericks

The home team locker room at the American Airlines Center Arena was very quiet.

In just 15 minutes in the locker room, the head coach of the Mavericks, Old Nelson, may not be able to understand the problem of the team. However, he is a famous coach after all, and he knows what is wrong with the Mavericks at this stage!
He can't control the long-term problems, but tonight, if the Dallas Mavericks want to win, they must have a point guard like Nash, who can organize and support this talented offensive team, pass the ball and deliver ammunition, and send the other four The two offensive players are connected in series, playing more like a whole, rather than a chaotic battle of stars.

Old Nelson thought of Nash, who had an eye-catching performance tonight. Originally, he had such an offensive commander in his formation.

only…

Old Nelson shook his head inwardly, and turned his attention to the team's back line.

Jason Terry is a scoring blade, and his first choice is always to score offensively. However, there are too many scoring players in the Mavericks lineup.

Devin Harris has the immaturity of a rookie, unstable shooting skills, top speed, and average physical confrontation. He is not as good as Nash. However, his organization and passing are good. At least, he is willing to pass. This alone is enough.

The 15 minutes ended quickly, and the game was cut back in the second half, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.

Old Nelson still doesn't give up, and now the Mavericks are too far behind, so they can only bet on it, so they didn't reserve their strength, and the offense of Harris, Finley, Stackhouse, Josh Howard, and Nowitzki was eliminated combination.

D'Antoni is also hard-hearted enough to beat all the starting five tigers. Against a team like the Mavericks, he must be beaten to death without giving him a chance. Otherwise, it would not be uncommon for him to be counterattacked.

The game started in the third quarter, and the Suns had the first possession of the ball.

With long feet, Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Harris automatically went up to close-up to mark. The impression of Nash's mid-range shooting in the first half is still deeply imprinted in his mind. Knowing that this All-Star ballhandler A guard with a powerful scoring ability, how can he easily give him room to shoot?
Nash gave the ball to Joe Johnson on the right for singles. He still trusts this teammate's scoring ability, and the defender he faces is not strong.

Outside the 60-degree three-point line on the right, Joe Johnson caught the ball and put on a three-threat posture. Now that the Suns are in the lead, he can slowly look for offensive opportunities.

Stackhouse took a step, lowered his center of gravity, and assumed a standard defensive posture.

Joe Johnson spied a few steps, feinted a shot, and accelerated to the three-point line with his feet. Stackhouse took a step sideways hard, using his body to block the direction of the breakthrough.

Joe Johnson turned sideways and directly used his back singles. After swinging his shoulders from side to side, he turned around and took a step back to make a two-point jumper. His speed was not fast, but his rhythm was very smooth.

The basketball is plucked from the fingertips, as soft as plucking strings.

Draw a wonderful arc in the air basketball.

Stackhouse had strong offensive talent back then, but his team performance was terrible. He was an All-Star offensive player with strong offense and weak defense. It was because of his poor defense that he fell behind in the 76ers' competition with Iverson. downwind.

After all, if the two outside players of the 76ers are defensive loopholes, no matter how many points they score, they still cannot win.

Therefore, only one of the two can stay, and the 76ers will definitely choose the most popular one.

Now Stackhouse has had surgery on his leg, and his foot movement has slipped. Facing Joe Johnson, a master singles player, he can only feel helpless.

There was a clear and crisp sound of wiping the net, and the two-pointer hit the net.

73 to 55! !
Back in the second half, the Suns' offensive firepower still showed no sign of declining.

The Mavericks attacked, Harris quickly dribbled the ball forward, without any hesitation, directly dribbled and changed direction, broke into the three-point line, and pulled the ball up with Nash's body, facing Stoudemire's supplementary defense, Harris Send the basketball to the sky at will.

Nowitzki made an air cut to the basket and easily scored the basketball.

73 to 57! !
When Harris is not alone, he still looks very good, easily opening the scoring account for the Mavericks.

Turning to defense, Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire. Nash was directly pinched by Nowitzki and Harris. Nash couldn't pass the ball, and there was no room for breakthrough. He could only dribble back ,Reorganize.

Now the Mavericks are very mobile, not inferior to the Suns. Marion's off-ball cut was also cut off by Josh Howard.

Since the cooperation failed, Nash directly singled out Harris, stepped down and dribbled continuously, Nash made a simple cross step, pressed the feint to change direction, rushed into the inside line, suddenly stopped at the free throw line and pulled the ball up, and the two-point jumper fell back shot.

The arc of the basketball was very high, and there was a bang, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.

Nowitzki, who is taller and better at the basket, took off the rebound, dribbled a step, and immediately passed a long pass for a quick counterattack.

Harris and Josh Howard are like two sharp knives, driving straight into the heart of the Suns.

Although Joe Johnson tried his best to block Harris, Josh Howard easily caught the ball, dribbled a step, took off from the basket, and his body bloomed in the air. He smashed the basketball into the basket with one hand and scored a two-pointer.

73 to 59! !
Seeing that the Mavericks' offense picked up in the second half, the fans outside the court also gave applause and cheers, and they also fell overwhelmingly.

Immediately afterwards, Josh Howard received an air cut from Nowitzki's pass, forcibly hit the basket, and while scoring the basketball, he also caused a foul by Richardson, who was supplementing the defense.

The free throw line made a steady free throw, scored 2+1, and successfully hit a three-pointer.

Finley's mid-range shot is still steady, catches the ball and breaks through Richardson, the horn area immediately stops and makes a two-point shot, and steadily throws the basketball in.

Fortunately, the defensive strength of the Dallas Mavericks is not top-notch, but to speed up and play fast breaks. The Suns are not afraid of any team, and directly let go of their hands and feet to fight the Mavericks to see whose offensive firepower is more violent.

However, the Suns never made a three-pointer in the third quarter. Facing Finley's experienced defense, Richardson couldn't find the shooting rhythm and missed three-pointers again and again.

Joe Johnson's individual singles were excellent, but he supported a lot of firepower. Marion's efficiency in mid-range shooting was not good, and he was entangled by the teacher who was beaten to death by Josh Howard, and he didn't score many points.

Lin Bai, who came off the bench, didn't make a three-pointer, but made a 2-pointer to raise his score to 10 points.

The stable output of Nash and Stoudemire made the Suns' scoring in the third quarter not too ugly.

Yes, it is still the tried and tested diamond tactic, but it has changed because of Stoudemire's epiphany growth.

Nash still played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire. During the switch, Nash passed the ball to Stoudemire without hesitation.

Stoudemire was not in a hurry to dunk the ball, but as if he had realized something, he directly pulled up the mid-range shot and completely ignored the existence of Harris.

There was a clear and clear sound of wiping the net, and the two-point ball went into the net hollowly, and there was a burst of white water splash.

Landing, Stoudemire rarely clenched his fists in celebration, with a bright smile on his face.

Next, the entire fourth quarter is almost the performance stage of Nash and Stoudemire.

Nash and Stoudemire have been playing endless pick-and-rolls, and Nash occasionally showed off his mid-range shot, which made the Mavericks dare not easily double-team Stoudemire, and then, it was almost a pass.

Facing Harris, Stoudemire directly pulled the ball for a layup and succeeded in picking the basket. They all forcibly went to the basket to attack the basket and made a foul to the free throw line.
