"Both of them couldn't stop Duke. Duke's waist is really strong, which is really enviable! The Mavericks successfully forced the Knicks into a positional battle, but the positional attack on Duke is also very easy!"

Barkley couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

"Come on, you almost stopped me."

Duke politely encouraged Antoine Wright.

After switching over, the Mavericks' offensive focus began to gradually shift to Dirk Nowitzki.

Dirk Nowitzki was not soft on Yi Jianlian either, and made another mid-range shot with his hand up and down.

As for the Knicks, it doesn't matter whether the Mavericks score or not.

As long as you catch the opportunity, hold the ball and rush forward.

When Duke is blocked, Chris Duhon holds the ball, and when the two are blocked at the same time, Sean Marion is allowed to intervene.

Whenever he has a chance, he goes madly at the basket.

For a time, both sides showed an extremely efficient offensive feast.

The fans at the scene praised the trip well-deserved.

By the time there were 3 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first quarter, the score on the court had become 23-26.

The Knicks turned away, leading the Mavericks by 3 points.

At this time, the rotation lineup also began to appear.

As a result, the offensive strength remained undiminished after the rotation lineup came on the field.

Jamal Crawford and Jason Terry compete for the best sixth man.

You make a three-pointer on both sides, and I immediately respond with a mid-range shot.

You come and I go to make the fans hooked.

But Jamal Crawford was even better with the support of his teammates.

The Mavericks' rotation is ultimately no match for the Knicks.

Jason - Terry looks alone.

Soon, the Knicks gradually opened up the score.

The Mavericks coach Avery Johnson on the sidelines also had a gloomy face. He didn't expect that the Knicks had changed so much in less than two months.

He can understand the strength of the rotation lineup, because they were like this in the last game.

The mix of the main lineup has not changed much. The only difference is that Chris Duhon has been put on the starting lineup to help Duke share a little pressure on the ball.

But that's all, the Knicks' offense has become richer.

In the last round of the duel, as long as the Mavericks locked Duke, consumed him, and made him unable to organize the team's offense, they could suppress the Knicks.

Now the same routine doesn't work, because even Duke doesn't have the ball.

There is also Chris Duhon organizing the offense, and the Knicks' offense simply cannot stagnate.

In addition, Avery Johnson also found that Duke's personal attack ability seems to be more powerful.

Just when Avery Johnson was thinking about it, there were new changes on the court.

At this time, the time on the field has come to 10 minutes and 03 seconds of the second quarter, and the second quarter has gone on for 2 minutes.

Jamal Crawford broke into the penalty area after a crossover step at the top of the arc, shaking the defender, and scored with an easy floater.

30-38

The Mavericks have fallen behind by 8 points.

Avery Johnson had to call a timeout.

"The Knicks have become much stronger. In the last round, the Knicks were led by the Mavericks throughout the game. Even if they were caught up by the Knicks at the last moment, it was purely due to Duke's personal performance."

"But today's game is very different from the previous one. Duke's offensive performance is still sharp, but the same, aside from him, the Knicks' offense is running very smoothly."

"In other words, the Knicks are no longer the team that completely relies on Duke to organize the offense. This is not a good thing for the Knicks' other playoff competitors in the East."

"Of course, the Knicks' defense is as bad as ever."

Barkley and Smith said so.

After returning from the timeout, Avery Johnson simply sent the starters directly, preparing to rely on the starting lineup to approach the score.

His approach really worked, and the Mavericks' starting lineup launched a fierce attack as soon as they played.

First, Dirk Nowitzki's unsolvable singles in the high position, with his back to Yi Jianlian, turned around and became a golden rooster independent, and Yi Jianlian had already seriously defended.

Helpless - Dirk Nowitzki's shot is a crime.

"Shua!!!!!!"

Hollow into the net.

Switching over, the Knicks' quick offense, Duke moved to Chris Duhon in the bottom corner in a wide range.

But this time Chris Duhon didn't grasp it, and the opportunity of the wide open was hit.

Wasted opportunities are punished, and the Mavericks' Jason Kidd exemplified this well.

In the next round of offense, he first gave the ball to Dirk Nowitzki.

As if it was the same as the previous round, let him continue to single Yi Jianlian.

Because of concerns about Dirk Nowitzki's offensive firepower, Chris Duhon chose to double-team.

And Dirk Nowitzki is also a very chicken thief, he did not blindly attack, and directly passed back to Jason Kidd at the top of the arc.

Jason Kidd looked at the basket and made a three-pointer without hesitation.

"Shua!!!!!!"

Basketball hit the net.

Older gingers are more spicy.

35-38

The Mavericks recovered 1 points in less than 5 minute, proving that as long as they are given a chance, they can overtake the score in minutes.

Just when D'Antoni was struggling with whether he should call a timeout, Duke stood up.

Duke quickly dribbles to the top of the key, and his defense has changed from Antawn Wright to Josh Howard, an old foe.

Apparently Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson didn't feel Antawn Wright was up to the job.

Only Josh Howard, the team's strongest defensive player, could be called to limit Duke.

"You are still you, but I am not me anymore, I will upgrade."

Duke looked at the solemn Josh Howard in front of him, and murmured in his heart.

And Josh Howard didn't mean to underestimate Duke in the slightest, and the misery of the last duel is still vivid in his memory.

The Mavericks did a good job defensively, as Jason Kidd went after Chris Duhon who ran to the weak side and denied him the pass.

On the other side, Antoine Wright marks Shawn Marion and refuses to let him receive the ball.

At this time, because David Lee and Yi Jianlian are still dragging behind, the Mavericks are equivalent to temporarily blocking Duke's passing route!

As a result, the three formed a three-in-one situation, completely blocking Duke's breakthrough route.

The Mavericks' defense can effectively curb Duke's first pass assists, so Duke, who can't pass or rush, can only wait for his teammates to settle down and then be forced to play positions.

Everyone thought Duke was helpless, until Duke suddenly dribbled the ball in the crotch during the breakthrough.

Josh Howard smiled, it's useless to change the direction of the crotch, you can't pass me.

But in the next second, Josh Howard was surprised to find that this was not a change of hands under the crotch.

It's a crotch hit pass disguised as a crotch dribble!

Duke didn't catch the ball with his other hand, but let the basketball fly out!

However, there is no one on the right side of Duke?

Now there is no one, but soon there will be.
