Chapter 327 Fighting the Dallas Mavericks
After defeating the Utah Jazz, the Phoenix Suns ushered in the last game before the All-Star break. The hearts of the players were floating, and the opponent was the Dallas Mavericks.

The Dallas Mavericks are a tough nut to crack. At present, the Mavericks rank fifth in the league with a record of 34 wins and 16 losses. Even if they are placed in the Western Theater, they are also ranked fourth.

This season, the Dallas Mavericks reshuffled the cards, sent away Nash, Jamison, Antawn Walker, and ushered in Jason Terry, Devin Harris, Jerry Stackhouse, Dampier and other players. The lineup was poorly integrated, and the performance fluctuated a bit. However, after playing for half a season, the Dallas Mavericks' lineup has almost improved, and their strength is only high.

The state of the Dallas Mavericks is also very good recently, playing a wave of 5 consecutive victories, and the state is very hot.

Before the game, media reporters thought that this matchup was an open match with a [-]-[-] split!
Who wins?We can only look at the performance of the star players of their respective teams, especially in the matchup before the All-Star Game, the state of the players will fluctuate.

At 2005:2 p.m. on February 16, 9, the Phoenix Suns will play against the Dallas Mavericks at the American West Arena.

Before warming up, Nash still chose to say hello to Nowitzki, gave him a good hug, and experienced each other's warmth.

Just because the next moment, they will no longer be brothers in the trenches, but enemies fighting with bayonets.

After a simple layup and a warm-up shot, the starting lineups of both sides lined up and came to the middle circle of the basketball court. The game began with a scrimmage.

The Suns starting five are still relatively fixed, lined up, followed by point guard Steve Nash, shooting guard Joe Johnson, small forward Quentin Richardson, power forward Sean Marion, center A Marley Stoudemire.

The Mavericks' starting five are point guard Devin Harris, shooting guard Michael Finley, small forward Josh Howard, power forward Dirk Nowitzki and center Eric Dampier.

In the jump ball, as the referee blew his whistle and threw the basketball into the sky, Dampier and Stoudemire jumped almost simultaneously.

At this moment, Dampier showed his self-proclaimed title of the No. [-] center in the Western Conference. The basketball was transferred to Devon Harris.

Harris, who is good at speed, took the ball with long legs, accelerated with his feet, and accelerated to the front court with his head buried.

After dribbling to the frontcourt, he suppressed the rhythm, and then with a clear snap, he passed a ground hit and passed the basketball to the left.

Outside the 65-degree three-point line on the left, Dirk Nowitzki received the ball and faced the frame. Without half a point of extra movement, he directly bent his knees and jumped up, drew a bow and set an arrow, and opened his hand for a three-point jumper and then leaned back.

Nowitzki is tall and has long arms, has a high shooting point, and added a little back, even if it is not a golden rooster's independent shooting stunt.

With Marion's height, he still can't interfere with Nowitzki's shooting.

Nowitzki's touch was very gentle, and with a flick of his wrist, he plucked the basketball away from his hand like plucking strings.

The basketball crossed a scimitar-like arc of a full moon in the sky.

Swish! !

The white net flowers overflowed, Nowitzki's three-pointer did not fail, he raised his knife and landed, and hit the basket steadily. The three-pointer pierced through the heart, and there was a burst of white waves.

3 to 0! !
Nuo Tianwang was merciless in the face of his brother's team. He hit a superb three-pointer and gave the Suns a Mawei!

Offensive and defensive transition, Joe Johnson served from the baseline, Nash immediately accelerated after receiving the ball, his body rushed up and ran away.

Devin Harris' defensive skills and sense of experience can't be said to be very good. As a rookie in 2004, he has not yet polished his skills.

However, if he only fights for speed, he is a good player. Although he can't break the ball from Nash, he can suppress Nash from playing fast breaks.

After Nash slowed down, he no longer struggled with running and bombing, and suppressed the rhythm. Just when Harris thought that Nash would wait for his teammates to get in position, Nash suddenly moved. Accelerate and rush to the inside line.

The slow and fast pace, the ease of control, directly caught Harris by surprise, and made him understand that speed alone is not enough.

Nash made a breakthrough to the free throw line in the middle, and didn't go further. Before Nowitzki could make up the defense, he immediately pulled the ball up and made a small throw like a horseback archery.

The basketball flew from the top of Nowitzki's head to the basket, with a high arc and high speed.

Bang!
The basketball hit the center of the backboard, and then, as if it had eyes, it got into the net and scored a two-pointer.

3 to 2! !
The former good friends began to fight on their own, and began to fight desperately. Nash didn't hold back, and directly displayed his special skills, scored two points, and returned the color.

Looking back, Devin Harris dribbled the ball and accelerated to the frontcourt without slowing down for half a point. He immediately changed direction and accelerated to forcefully break through Nash.

With lightning-like speed, although Nash judged the sudden direction of Harris, he couldn't keep up with Harris, who was already at full speed.

Sullenly penetrating the Suns' defense in an instant, Stoudemire's speed is also quite good, letting go of Dampier's defense and pounced on Harris.

Pulling the ball up, Harris had no intention of splitting the ball. Facing Stoudemire's supplementary defense, he forced the basket and quickly threw the basketball to the basket.

Bang!
The basketball hit the backboard, turned half a circle on the rim, and still rolled out.

Dampier got stuck at the basket speed, easily jumped up and took the ball off the basket, and handed the basketball to Josh Howard who was cut from the air.

Catching the ball from the basket, he jumped up, made a pick in the air, and easily picked the basketball into the basket, scoring two points.

5 to 2! !
Dampier's offensive firepower is undeniably outstanding, but he still has good strength in rebounding and defense.

If it wasn't for the fact that the contract offered by the Dallas Mavericks was too large and the expectations for Dampier were too high, Dampier's tactical status and contribution were still good.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Suns attack, Nash dribbles to the frontcourt, unable to play run and bomb tactics.

The Suns directly played the diamond tactics, with Stoudemire and Marion pulling to the horns, and performing pick-and-rolls to cover air cut attacks at any time.

Richardson and Joe Johnson were separated on the left and right flanks, using precise three-pointers to help the team stretch the offensive space and nail the Mavericks' two-wing defense.

Nash stepped down and dribbled the ball continuously, broke through Harris with the ball in the middle, reached the three-point line, and directly played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire.

Josh Howard immediately let go of Richardson's defense, rushed forward, and together with Harris, double-teamed Nash.

Nash's face was calm, he dribbled the ball with his back, took a big step back, opened the defense with the defender, immediately pulled the ball up, and passed the ball to the left outside with both hands in the air...
