But in that round of the series, the only game with a difference of more than 6 points, the Bulls beat the Pacers 5-106 at home in G87.

Before that game, the Bulls were tied by the Pacers in two consecutive games, but they beat their opponents at Tianwangshan, which seemed unbelievable.

And the reason that happened was Phil Jackson said something before the game.

"Forget about how we've played the last four games, forget about the big scores, think back to when we dominated the game as we wanted, and go with that feeling."

This sentence sounds like a Zen master, but for the extremely nervous team, it was a very good psychological relaxation.

As a result, the Bulls led the Pacers by 31 points in three quarters.

Kukoc deserves to follow Jordan for three consecutive championships, and the story he told is very instructive.

From the previous dialogue between Nowitzki and Sun Hao, it can be felt that after being forced into a 1-3 situation, the players were under a lot of psychological pressure.

Coupled with Barkley's words, it is also invisible to continue to put pressure.

You must know that if they lose this game, Barkley can take off the poisonous milk hat that has been buckled on his head and continue to tease the Mavericks.

After Kukoc finished speaking, Nelson Sr. also announced the starting adjustment.

Bradley returned to the bench and Nash returned to the starting lineup.

Maybe it was pushed to the brink of elimination, or maybe it was inspired by Kukoc's story, all in all, the Mavericks are going back to the lineup they used most in the regular season.

As for the defense, the previous lineup did not defend, since they cannot defend, it is better to stab each other.

"Guys, for Dallas, for the fans, and for yourselves."

After the old Nelson adjusted the starting lineup, he said with rare affection.

At this point in the series, he has put aside his personal grievances with Popovich. The victory he needs is for the future of the team.

This team is still young and confidence will affect next season and beyond.

"Mavericks."

Eisley was the first to raise his hands and make a fist, and the other players surrounded him and leaned on them.

"victory!"

Everyone shouted a slogan, then turned and ran out of the locker room.

The last stand!

Chapter 182 I am King Silver Horn! (Updates are coming!)

Trotting from the locker room to the court, the scene has already exploded with cheers like a tsunami.

Although the big score is 1 to 3 behind, the enthusiasm of the fans is still high.

Cuban has really accumulated real die-hard fans for this team in one season.

Of course Cuban himself is the number one fan.

By the way, with this beautiful woman on the left and right, the enthusiasm doubled.

"Director Zhang, the Mavericks look very excited tonight."

In the broadcast booth, Su Qun felt the difference in the Mavericks tonight.

"Hey, the Mavericks don't lack that. It mainly needs time to grow. You see, this is the first playoffs for many of them, but I think there is a chance tonight."

Zhang Weiping smiled and said, not only Su Qun, but he also felt it.

"Well, tonight's game against the Mavericks... will definitely be a good one."

Su Qun also realized that his mouth was a bit poisonous when he was explaining, so he stuffed it back when he got to the point.

"Director Zhang, do you think Sun Hao's injury still affects him?"

And he changed the subject immediately.

"I don't think it's too old anymore. Oh, by the way, the three-game suspension for Daniels is up. You can see that he is warming up there. It will be interesting for our little grandson to face him again."

Zhang Weiping is very good at finding topics.

That is to say, the Internet is not yet developed at this time. If this is the future live broadcast of Tencent Sports, the screen will be full of "fuck him to death".

But in fact, many fans waiting in front of the TV can't wait.

After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony.

"The 2000th pick in 24, the 2000 NBA All-Star, the 2000 NBA Rookie of the Year, the little emperor, the Dallas Sun~ Sun~~ Hao!!"

When Sun Hao was introduced to the stage, he still gave the iconic clasping ceremony, and cheers were everywhere.

Sun Hao has become the spiritual totem of Mavericks fans since he experienced the first game of the series between the two sides.

Many fans even made a boxing ceremony in the auditorium.

A culture has formed in Dallas invisibly.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were released one after another.

On the Spurs side, Avery Johnson and Porter on the outside, Anderson on the small forward, Duncan and Robinson on the inside.

This is also the starting lineup that the Spurs have used in the past three consecutive victories.

Daniels ushered in a comeback after a three-game suspension, but Popovich did not use him as a starter.

For the Mavericks, Nash and Sun Hao on the outside, Finley and Uncle Huo on the front line, and Nowitzki in the center.

When seeing this starting lineup, Popovich couldn't help but froze for a moment.

But after he was stunned, he couldn't help laughing.

Old Nelson, is this giving up treatment?

But it seems that the difference is not big, whether to change the lineup is a result.

And after this game, he can also tell old Nelson that it is impossible to win the championship with the latter method.

"Dirk, it's up to you."

Before playing, Sun Hao patted Nowitzki on the shoulder and said.

Nowitzki nodded.

Old Nelson made adjustments to the starting lineup and tactics.

Since Popovich puts the middle distance, he will attack more from the middle distance.

Sun Hao was targeted, so he used Nash more to attack.

As for Sun Hao, he switched from holding the ball in the previous few games to countless.

This set is also used by them in the regular season, and it is handy.

Zhuge Nelson VS Simavich.

Round.5.

Nowitzki and Duncan's jump ball, the referee whistled, Nowitzki jumped up first and turned the ball back to the Mavericks half.

He actually beat Duncan in the jump.

Tonight's game is destined to be a little different.

Nash controls the ball in the frontcourt, Sun Hao and Nowitzki run, the two are on the left and right sides, but the running methods are different.

On Sun Hao's side, Finley screened from a high position. After the dismantling, he fell to the bottom corner on the right, and Sun Hao went to the right 45-degree angle for a three-pointer.

At the same time, Uncle Huo made a pick-and-roll for Nowitzki at the free throw line on the left. After the split, Uncle Huo cut to the basket, and Nowitzki fell to the high position on the left.

Others say that old Nelson can only bombard, but he is a famous coach who has played in the last century.

The so-called tactical pioneers are improvements based on mastering existing tactics.

The pick-and-roll tactics of these positional battles, he did not use them less on the Mavericks in the regular season.

The Spurs' defensive strategy is the same as in the past, closing the three-point line and inside, and putting the mid-range.

Nash immediately gave the ball to Nowitzki who came out.

Nowitzki catches the ball and makes a shot, with determination from his movements to his eyes.

The ball crossed a high parabola in the air, with a beautiful arc.

"Shh!"

The basketball enjoys silky smoothness and hollowness into the net.

Nowitzki opens the scoring for the Mavericks!

The Spurs fell to the ground, Duncan took Uncle Huo alone on the inside, turned around and scored.

So far in this round of the series, Duncan has averaged close to 30 points per game, and no one can defend against him.

"Run! Run!"

But the familiar scene reappears.

After Duncan scored, Old Nelson was already shaking his hands on the sidelines, no, shouting with a whip.

The Mavericks ran forward immediately, which is the tactic of playing against the Trail Blazers in the third game.

This is also his treasure at the bottom of the box.

After seeing it, Popovich sat on the spring on his butt and jumped to the sidelines.

What he was waiting for was old Nelson.

In fact, after watching the first-round tape of the Mavericks, he was waiting for Nelson to use him in the first game.

He also yelled from the sidelines that the Spurs retreated quickly.

Except for Robinson who is a little slower, everyone else has fallen into the backcourt.

The Mavericks' fast break didn't start at the first time, but Nowitzki still went to the frontcourt before Robinson.

He just landed high at the top of the arc, and Nash's pass came with the wind.

Nowitzki catches the ball and makes an emergency stop for a mid-range shot.

The arc is still very high, because it is chasing the body, the landing point of the ball is a bit behind.

"boom!"

"Shh!"

It's a shot off the board and the ball bounces...into the net!

Nowitzki scored two goals in a row after the opening!

Duncan continued to play inside the frontcourt. This time Uncle Huo withstood the first shot and did not let Duncan make a shot.

However, Duncan bounced very fast, and took the second jump to fill the ball into the basket.

Duncan also scored 4 points in a row!

Two Hall of Fame power forwards, completely different styles of play, but faced each other on the same field!

The Mavericks are still playing fast, but the Spurs are still in place defensively.

It's not a quick fight for defensive counterattacks, and it's a bit difficult to play against a team of the Spurs' level.

And Popovich has obviously done targeted training.

It felt like opening pockets early and waiting for the Mavericks to charge in.

The Mavericks fought again, and Nowitzki ran out and was posted by Porter.

Nash continued to pass the ball.

This is a misalignment.

"Dwarf wax gourd."

Nowitzki's iconic trash talk is delivered.

Porter was taken aback by the spray, and he rarely misplaced Nowitzki.

When he reacted, Nowitzki dribbled a step to the free throw line for an emergency stop and then came out.
