Chapter 115 The fadeaway vs the fadeaway.

The Mavericks passed the ball very patiently and handed it over to Dirk Nowitzki.

Dirk Nowitzki hit Paul Gasol with a post-up single, turned around and hit a jumper.

"His fadeaway is finally getting some form again," Barkley said in the studio.Barkley said more than once that Dirk Nowitzki's style of play is soft and so on.But there is a little story that most people don't know.

Barkley had previously played some exhibition games with some All-Star players, and once in a warm-up match in Germany, he spotted Nowitzki.Nowitzki was only 18 years old at the time, and Pippen was the best perimeter defender in the world at that time, but Nowitzki scored 25 points in only halftime.At halftime, Barkley and others confessed that Pippen could no longer let Nowitzki score like this in the second half. What happened?Dirk Nowitzki It was Barkley who discovered Nowitzki's talent and recommended Nowitzki to Nelson.

Nowitzki is the savior of the Mavericks. After the "German Chariot" joined the Mavericks, the Mavericks gradually got rid of the role of the Western Conference and became a strong team in the league. They have entered the finals twice.Nelson knew people in the 1998 draft. The Mavericks picked Robert Taylor in the sixth place in the first round. The Milwaukee Bucks got Nowitzki in the ninth place in the first round. Nelson planned a deal. The Mavericks used Taylor was used as a bargaining chip to exchange Nowitzki and Pat Garrity from the Bucks. This exchange ushered in a new chapter of development for the Mavericks.

The introduction of Nowitzki has become the magic pen of Nelson's managerial career, and Nelson is considered to be Nowitzki's Bole.In fact, this person is Barkley.

Barkley said to Nowitzki, 'Dude, who the fuck are you, and Dirk Nowitzki said, 'I'm Dirk Nowitzki.Barkley said, do you want to go to college or something?Dirk said, no no no, I'm going to join the army.Buckley was like, 'Dude, don't you ever join the military, you're 7 feet tall, there's nothing in the military that a 7-footer can do. 'Barkley told him, give me some information about you, I want you to go to Auburn University.Dirk said 'well, OK'. "This is why Barkley always finds Dirk's shortcomings.

Barkley himself graduated from Auburn University. It is only natural for him to introduce Dirk Nowitzki, a basketball genius, to his alma mater.

"So I called my friend and I said 'Hey, you guys gotta get this kid over there...' I was like, 'We're going to give him Auburn whatever he wants, he Will be a great player.’” Barkley said, “and then we called him at the end of the year and he was drafted the following year. I told him before, I said, man, as long as you go to Olympiad This college, whatever you want, just ask. If you want to play college basketball, you go to Auburn University."

"Dirk is always great, I told him, I don't care (what price), as long as you come to the United States to play, you must go to Auburn University, you can't go anywhere else," Barkley said very much to Nowitzki. Optimistic, "I don't care how much it costs, I won't let you go to Duke, I won't let you go to North Carolina—you have to come to Auburn."

The audience scored 52 points!
The game continued, Kobe took the ball from the baseline, controlled it to the frontcourt, and faced Lin Xiao's defense again.

After scoring the last goal, Kobe had a new understanding of Lin Xiao's defense. He stared at Anxi coldly, lowered his body and slowly dribbled the ball, like a mamba, dormant and waiting for an opportunity.

Lin Xiao stared closely at Kobe's movements, stretched his arms, and constantly interfered with Kobe Bryant.Kobe started to dribble the ball twice. Lin Xiao knew that Kobe was about to move, and the crotch dribble was a signal to find the ball before making a move.

Kobe looked at Lin Xiao, his left foot suddenly protruded, Lin Xiao's center of gravity did not move, but Kobe quickly retracted his left foot, stepped out with his right foot, accelerated, and broke through from Lin Xiao's left side like lightning!But Lin Xiao stood in front of him like a ghost.

Kobe directly played back singles, Lin Xiao twisted his body, not afraid of physical confrontation and Kobe together, Kobe's upper body strength is very strong, but Lin Xiao is not weak at all.Kobe hit a few times, made an emergency stop, Lin Xiao also stopped, Kobe straight up straight up, Kobe Bryant leaned back, and shot a fadeaway jumper!
Lin Xiao stretched out his right hand to interfere, but Kobe Bryant leaned back a lot, and the basketball was easily shot. It drew a perfect arc, got into the basket with a swish, and even flew with the net.

"A perfect shot. Kobe taught this kid Lin Xiao a thorough lesson." Kenny Smith praised.

The Mavericks' counterattack, Kidd dribbled the ball halfway, Lin Xiao directly demanded on the right side, singled Kobe, directly carried Kobe and pushed him to the outside of the three-second zone on the right side, and directly hit with his back. Bryant.For this ball, Lin Xiao's back was deeper than Kobe, and he had more space, so he hit the board steadily.More like Jordan's fadeaway jumper.

"Beautiful, perfect, this is more Michael than Michael." Isaiah Thomas showed a signature smile and praised: "He is a killer, he has both offense and defense, I like this kid. Perfect, great, really great. Five years, no, three years. He's going to be the next league superstar."

"No, no, in my opinion, Dirk Nowitzki doesn't look like a leader. This is not what a leader should look like." Barkley is still picking on the advantages of Dirk Nowitzki.But in terms of the overall situation, Barkley has always supported Dirk Nowitzki.And Barkley is also Dirk Nowitzki's idol. In the Olympics, Barkley was seen wearing the No. [-] jersey, which is why Dirk Nowitzki is No. [-].

"Fadeback vs. fadeaway. It's interesting. Let the fans see who's the fake." Barkley added fuel to the fire.It seems that he still can't control his big mouth.

"Pass." With the help of the cover, Lin Xiao threw off Kobe, and wanted to shoot directly from outside the three-point line. Kobe's follow-up defense was very fast. When Lin Xiao just took off, Kobe had already taken off.Lin Xiao passed it directly to Dirk Nowitzki, who went down, and Nowitzki succeeded in dunking with one hand. The ball was almost broken by Gasol's long arm, and Andrew Bynum was still fighting Tyson. Dele sparred trash-talking, not noticing Dirk Nowitzki's pass.

"You have to stay focused, Andrew." Kobe shouted at Andrew Bynum. At this time, Andrew Bynum still had that thought, but he didn't show it very much on the court, and he didn't know it in the locker room. .

Lin Xiao and Dirk clapped hands, Kobe still controlled the ball, but Kobe did not go it alone this time, and handed the ball to Fisher to organize the offense. Long Butler's supplementary defense, another pass, Ci Shiping's outside three-pointer!Hit!
Last season's 1% shooting rate is not bad. Such openings are too easy to appear in the Lakers' offense. There is no other reason, because they have Kobe, and their offensive containment is currently No. [-] in the league. There is another person whose offensive containment is not inferior to Kobe, and that is Wade.
