Chapter 39 Breaking the record again
The old driver deserves to be the core of the Mavericks. After he found the crosshairs, the entire lineup of the Mavericks was revitalized.

Even though he hit two consecutive 15-pointers late and scored [-] points in this game, the Mavericks unexpectedly bit the score and did not allow the point difference to widen again.

At the end of the third quarter, the difference between the two sides was 90:80, and the Mavericks still had a chance.

By the way, several players of the Mavericks are famous bad guys, Dirk Nowitzki looks like the Silver Horn King, Jason Terry looks like a mouse, Stackhouse looks like a field mouse, Darrell Armstrong and Skeleton Super Like, but Josh Howard and Marquis Daniels are the signature double ugly of the Dallas Mavericks!
Josh Howard is ugly and strong, he is a top perimeter defensive strongman, and he is also very good at playing tricks.

In the Rockets' first game against the Mavericks, Josh Howard was in charge of guarding Yao Ming in that game.

Because of the huge height and weight difference, Josh Howard kept making small moves, and even used stumbling, which is the most taboo move by players.

Once Yao Ming shot a jumper, Josh Howard actually pulled Yao Ming down forcibly, so angry that Yao Ming almost rushed up to hammer him, but luckily McGrady rushed up to separate the two.

After the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks saw that Stackhouse couldn't prevent being late at all, so they immediately made adjustments, and Josh Howard played to mark the lateness.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks achieved results in the first attack, and Nowitzki hit a mid-range jumper.

Yao Ming rested off the court, blue-collar center Uncle Mu sat under the basket, the Rockets' offensive firepower was worrying, and Mike James missed an open jumper.

Dalaran double ugly, oh yes Marquis Daniels, one of the Dallas double ugly, grabbed a defensive rebound, and Josh Howard hit the iron with a mid-range jumper.

In the past few seasons, Howard's offensive ability was not strong, and he only had a certain finishing ability at the basket. His mid-range jumper was basically not very reliable.

Mike James got a defensive rebound, the Rockets quickly counterattacked, and took a step outside the three-point line late to catch the ball. Josh Howard was seriously interfered and hit the iron with a three-pointer.

Looking back, the Mavericks also played a wave of quick counterattacks. Michael Finley chased for a three-pointer and also hit an iron with anger.

Mucci Norris picked up the defensive rebound, turned back and made a late pass. Josh Howard defended in place, and the late ball just shot, he was lightly touched to interfere with the route, and missed again.

Seeing that he missed two shots in a row, the little general Johnson was so happy that he almost jumped up.

Josh Howard's ugly face is full of smiles, and his late three-point shooting percentage has become a hot topic in the league. If he can prevent his three-pointers, he will definitely attract attention, and a high salary can be expected in the future!
But he didn't dare to provoke being late. The lesson of last season's MVP Garnett made him deeply afraid.

The Mavericks attacked, and Daniels made a breakthrough throw and hit a goal, bringing the score closer again.

The Rockets slowed down their offensive rhythm and prepared to fight for success. Veteran Joan Barry, with his rich experience, fouled Michael Finley and hit two free throws steadily. The Mavericks requested a substitution.

As the game resumed, Howard followed up late and tried not to give him a chance to catch the ball. Even if he was late to catch the ball, he would interfere the most, and his late shots were greatly restricted.

But the Rockets can't stand it now that no one is available. The other players are either not in good condition and can't find the sights, or they are pure blue-collars with almost no scoring ability, so the ball possession is quite concentrated.

No matter how the Rockets' ball is conducted, at least nearly 60% of them will end up giving the final blow to Late.

This also made the Rockets' tactics quite monotonous. McBrin criticized the Rockets players in the live broadcast for not being able to take responsibility and not giving the team enough support.

Howard's defensive effect is good. Under his guard, the late shooting rate has dropped. He played for more than 4 minutes in the fourth quarter, and he took 6 shots late, hit 3 goals, and the shooting rate was 50%.

Oh my god!
A 50% three-point shooting rate is still amazing. You can score at least 1.5 points in one offensive round. If you are an inside player, you must ensure a 75% shooting rate-even the peak O'Neal can't do it ah.

It is worth mentioning that the late arrival has already scored 24 points, which is not far from the record of 36 points in the rookie playoff debut. This record was created by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

At 7:38, the Rockets requested a substitution and Yao Ming was replaced. The point difference between the two sides was not that big, only 4 points.

Nowitzki felt hot in the second half today, hitting long-range shots many times.

Immediately after Yao Ming came on the court, it played a role, and Stackhouse broke through and ate Yao's hot pot.

The Rockets counterattacked, and Jongbari finally fired and hit a three-pointer.

Afterwards, the two sides played each other's offense and defense, and the score was not wide open. The Mavericks players felt hot, and their shooting percentage was close to or even exceeded 60%.

Stackhouse, Nowitzki, Jason Terry and others took turns to score points.

Yao Ming didn't play much time in this game. He played a total of 20 minutes in the first three quarters. He still had enough energy and was unstoppable under the Mavericks basket.

With adept low-post footwork and superior height, the Mavericks obviously have a headache defending Yao.

Late performed steadily on the perimeter and hit three-pointers many times, but was interfered by Josh Howard's defense, and his shooting percentage has dropped from 70% to 54%.

Mucci Norris took on his responsibilities very well. On the defensive end, he was optimistic about Jason Terry who was facing him. On the offensive end, he tried to find a way to feed the ball to Yao Ming or late, so that the two of them "singled".

Yao Ming is a real single player. After he got the "learning machine" given to him late in the second half of the season, he had a short period of downturn. After that, he made rapid progress and has become an unstoppable killer in the low post. The soft touch has become his most threatening scoring method.

The late "single play" is a bit unreasonable. Regardless of whether Josh Howard's defense is in place, he just catches and throws the ball anyway.

Josh Howard really worked hard, and he could see the results of his defensive efforts, but he still couldn't limit his late shooting percentage below 50%, which made his hard defense finally become a joke.

Yao Ming took whatever he wanted at the basket, provided stable firepower output from the outside line late, and kept scoring efficiently. The Rockets slowly opened up the score.

With 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, he was late and used his teammates to cover to avoid Josh Howard's defense, and hit a three-pointer, making his playoff debut score equal to Skyhook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

The difference between the Rockets and the Mavericks also reached 13 points.

Seeing that the point difference widened, the Mavericks were forced to increase their three-point shots and had to speed up the tempo.

The Rockets have a huge lead, their offense is unhurried, their defense is impeccable, and they try not to give the Mavericks any chance.

At 1 point and 03 points in the fourth quarter, he was late and used his teammates' pick-and-roll to get rid of the defense again, and easily hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from his teammate, raising his score in his playoff debut to 39 points, setting a new record.

Seeing that the point difference was still 13 points, time was running out, and the Mavericks finally gave up struggling.

The two sides entered the tiebreaker, the Mavericks had the home court advantage, and the Rockets injured Tracy McGrady. Their chances are still great.

本场比赛姚明出战27分钟，21中14，高效砍下32分9篮板2助攻。

受伤的麦迪今天状态也不错，11中7拿到了20分5篮板7助攻。

迟到出场29分钟，23中13拿到39分1篮板3助攻。

Sure enough, as the "Sports Illustrated" sports columnist Edward Benedict Ke said, being late is not completely incapable of passing the ball, but it is not necessary in many cases.

The Big Three of the Rockets scored an astonishing 91 points, and the role players provided limited help. In the end, the Rockets scored 121 points and the Mavericks scored 108 points.

Nowitzki felt icy in the first half, but recovered in the second half. He hit 22 goals in 11 shots and scored 28 points. The efficiency is not low.

Some people in the media believe that the Mavericks' poor defense ruined this crucial battle.

The Rockets, known for their defense, actually scored 121 points in this game-this is the playoffs, and the Mavericks' defensive strength is very problematic.

At the post-match press conference, General Johnson said: "Today we did a good job of restricting late arrivals. His shooting percentage in this game was only 54%. It doesn't feel that amazing."

After finishing speaking, he smiled wryly: "He is really a monster. I don't know how he can practice his shooting so accurately. With a 50%+ three-point shooting rate, I actually think he is restricted. But I think I've got some clues, I think we have a good chance next game. And the Rockets lost McGrady, their offensive level will definitely be affected."

Late also talked about his shooting skills in public for the first time: "Practice shooting requires talent, and not everyone is sure to be able to achieve a high shooting percentage. There is an idiom in China called practice makes perfect. I The practice method is actually very simple, and it is also a practice that makes perfect. Some people on the Internet said that when I was pitching, my brain obtained relevant data through high-speed calculations, so I maintained such a high hit rate. In fact, there is no So exaggerated, we only need to know some basic parameters to effectively improve our hit rate. For a simple example, if the arc of our pitch is 60 degrees into the net, then the angle of the goal will be Twice as much as 30 degrees. Under this premise, we only need to be familiar with ourselves in a certain position and how much force we need to use to throw the ball, it’s that simple.”

"Many of us know that your physical fitness can only be regarded as the level of ordinary people. You have become a star just by virtue of your precise shooting. Do you have any advice for ordinary basketball fans?" A reporter asked.

"Basketball is actually a game of throwing the ball into the basket, so we only need to practice shooting and basic skills."

After the game, the news of breaking the record for a rookie's playoff debut made headlines again.

However, a group of people felt a little uncomfortable and began to stand up and show their presence.
