Chapter 362
On May 5th, the second matchup continued at the American West Arena, and the starting lineups and tactics of both sides remained unchanged.

In the first quarter of the game, the Suns were tenaciously suppressed by the Mavericks, and the outside offensive firepower directly misfired.

Joe Johnson's individual singles offense was frozen, he made consecutive shots, made 4 of 0 shots, did not score a point, and was in a very bad state.

Although Richardson scored, his offensive efficiency was mediocre. He made 5 of 2 shots, and his support for the Suns' inside offense was far from enough.

As the Suns' flanks on both sides couldn't open the situation, the Suns' inside offense was also greatly affected.

Nash and Stoudemire's unsolvable pick-and-roll offense has become a [-]-[-] split. The shooting percentage seems to be good, but as the main offensive point, it is a bit ugly.

Marion's off-the-ball cuts are also locked, and he can only use awkward mid-range shots to attack. The shooting rate is impressive, but the offensive opportunities are relatively rare.

Not having the ability to attack with the ball and relying too much on the assist ability of his teammates is the main reason why he cannot grow up, and it is also the reason why he can provide limited help when the team is in trouble.

The Suns' running and bombing tactics couldn't be played, and the diamond tactics in the positional battle couldn't make shots, and the offensive firepower was misfired.

However, the Dallas Mavericks must resort to the twin towers tactics while allowing the inside to carry out the main attack.

Dampier was too powerful in the first quarter. In the interior attack, he directly used his strength to fight against Stoudemire. He made 5 of 5 shots, scored 10 points and 2 rebounds in a single quarter, and played an eye-catching offensive firepower.

In addition to Dampier's power, Nowitzki also showed a superstar demeanor. The offense can be both internal and external. He scored 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter. Offensive, with a score of 34 to 22 in the first quarter, it was mainly against the guest and achieved a 12-point lead.

In the next game time, the Suns recovered a bit, narrowing the score gap quarter by quarter.

In the second quarter, the Suns beat the Mavericks 24 to 20 and recovered 4 points.

In the third quarter, the Suns played a violent offensive situation. With Richardson's last wonderful three-pointer at the buzzer, the score of the two sides was overtaken by 2 points.

36 to 26! !

With 27 seconds left in the game, Nash broke through to the free throw line, pulled the ball up, made a small drop shot with horseback archery, and scored two points steadily.

108 to 106! !
The Mavericks led the Suns again at the last moment, leading by 2 points while leaving only 6 seconds of offensive space for the Suns.

D'Antoni also called the last timeout and directly arranged a two-point tactic.

The Suns are in great momentum. As long as they reach overtime, they have a great chance of winning the game to the end.

Marion served Nash from the sideline, using Stoudemire's high cover, trying to get rid of Terry's defense. Unexpectedly, Josh Howard emptied Richardson directly, and rushed to Nash who was holding the ball. Together with Terry, Double-team on Nash.

The Suns' flat tactics were cracked. At this critical moment, Nash was skilled and bold, and made a wild back pass.

There was a crisp sound of hitting the ground, and the basketball fell into Richardson's hands precisely.

Outside the 65-degree three-point line on the left, Richardson caught the ball without any hesitation, immediately pulled the ball up, and made a quick three-point jumper.

The basketball traced an arc of a full moon in the air.

All eyes were on the three-pointer.

The Mavericks are life or death, almost on this ball.

The whistle for the end of time has sounded.

Bang! !
