Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

In the intense playoffs, especially the Finals, anything can happen!

Old fans keep this sentence in mind, because in the history of the NBA, they have indeed witnessed miracles time and time again!

Even if we don't talk about it in the distance, we just talk about it in the near future. This season can be called the most exciting season in the history of the NBA.

Needless to say about the first round of "Double Black Eight Miracles".

Before this session, there have been three black eight miracles in NBA history.

Then in the second round, the Mavericks directly swept the defending champion Lakers!

In the division finals, eighth in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks, who had an incomplete lineup, even eliminated the mighty Heat Big Three in the tiebreaker.

I have to say that in this year's playoffs, accidents are one after another, and the gates are one after another.

The final matchup was between the Mavericks and the Knicks. In this case, the so-called experts and the media were slapped in the face.

After watching the game and seeing this kind of situation, everyone is probably accustomed to any unexpected situation.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Mavericks, who almost completely suppressed the Knicks in G1 of the finals, suddenly fell out of alignment in G2.

In the fourth quarter, with 7 minutes and 26 seconds remaining, the Knicks, who were on the road, led by 5 points, 87:81.

In the past 4 minutes or so, the bench lineup of the two teams actually played an inefficient 6:3 performance, can you believe it?

But the fact is like this, put in front of everyone's eyes, even if you don't believe it.

The situation is very critical for the Mavericks playing at home!

Instead of gaining an advantage, their rotation with a huge advantage has exacerbated the deficit.

Although only 5 points behind, not much, but the "920" Knicks main lineup is strong, especially Bai Feng feels extremely hot today, plus Anthony and Stoudemire, two top scorers, the Mavericks The main lineup seems to have no advantage at all.

Compared with their previous downturn, if this situation does not improve, then this game is estimated to be over.

Coach Carlisle decisively requested a timeout at this time and adjusted the lineup.

The lineup of Kidd, Terry, Marion, Nowitzki and Chandler, Hyuga is the usual lineup for the Mavericks.

This lineup is both offensive and defensive, and it is no problem to be discharged at any time.

Although Carlisle has other options, at this time, he still chose the most secure lineup.

The Knicks also responded immediately and replaced all the main lineups.

Bai Feng, JR, Anthony, Stoudemire and Turiaf have used this set of starters throughout the playoffs, and only this set can be used.

D'Antoni made a few different attempts today, but it turns out that those attempts may not have worked better.

Due to Bai Feng's explosive explosion in the third quarter, the entire momentum was completely reversed to favor the Knicks.

Before going on the court, Carmelo Anthony encouraged everyone in a good mood and said: "Brothers, let's make persistent efforts to win this victory and go home with a score of 1:1, then the probability of winning the championship will be greatly increased. , Come on, the sun starts!"

Anthony encouragement inspires confidence in Knicks players!

Indeed, with the current momentum, if the Knicks can win this away game tonight, they will have an advantage back at home!

In New York, if you can win two home games in a row, you will be very close to the championship!

The championship, that is the dream of all players, Anthony only reminded me like this, and in an instant, everyone was like a chicken blood!

For the Mavericks, they can only pin their hopes on the only core.

That's right, it's Dirk Nowitzki!

It was his super performance that led the Mavericks to the finals all the way!

Clearly, without the Dallas cornerstone, they would have fallen in front of the defending champion Lakers early in the morning.

At this critical moment, we can only count on him.

However, the bad part is that Dirk's hand seems to be very bad tonight, he even only got 14 points in the first three quarters.

All kinds of iron strikes, and when he fought thunder in the last round, God blocked and killed God, Buddha blocked and killed Buddha's performance is completely different!

Under such circumstances, a cloud loomed over the American Airlines Center.

But the game will definitely go on.

The Mavericks attacked, and as soon as they came up, Kidd gave the ball to Dirk Nowitzki.

Although he didn't feel good tonight, he still had to perform such singles.

All the offensive tactics of the Mavericks must start from him, and they must start from him!

Against Turiaf's defense, Nowitzki used his signature golden rooster independence!

Although the ball hit the front of the basket, it was still a little short, but after rebounding to the backboard, luckily it fell into the basket again.

87:83

Finally, Dirk Nowitzki stepped up when the Mavs needed him the most.

Cheers all over the place!

"Come, come, our God, awakened!"

"Come on, Dirk, we're all counting on you."

"German tank, rush!"

The Knicks attacked, Bai Feng passed the front court with the ball, and the Mavericks were eyeing the upcoming double-team defense. Obviously, as long as he had the ball to attack, the double-team would come immediately!

In this regard, Bai Feng is completely true, he just dribbled the ball forward, he just wanted to attract the Mavericks to double-team.

After the arrival of the double team, Yu Feng steadily passed the ball to JR Smith.

He is very clear that when the team is in a desperate situation and needs to break the game, it must fight!

Although it is said that many times it is unsuccessful, but what if it is successful!

Obviously, today's third quarter is a successful case.

And when the team is in the lead, play steadily!

JR Smith took the ball and saw that the Mavericks' rotation had not yet arrived, he still held the ball and went to the basket!

Obviously, when the Mavericks double-teamed Bai Feng, the point that they let go, intentionally or unintentionally, was the point of JR Smith.

JR's shooting touch from the perimeter is very general today, so he takes the ball more towards the basket. The Mavericks hoped that he would go above and beyond, and set up a strong defense under the basket, waiting for him to come head-to-head.

But this time, JR didn't go up. After he broke into the three-point line, he made a pull-up jumper in the mid-range area.

Swish!

hit!

89:83

Failing to make a three-pointer, JR chose a mid-range shot with a higher degree of certainty.

There is no doubt that this choice is reasonable!

But in the eyes of the Mavericks coaching staff, the fact that JR Smith played reasonably is not so reasonable!

Today, the entire league knows that Bai Feng is a very solid point guard who pursues reasonable play most of the time.

This style is similar to the Mavericks' Kidd in some ways, which shows that Bai Feng has the potential to become a top point guard.

Under the leadership of Bai Feng, although the Knicks lineup is not complete, they play very reasonable and stable.

Singles for Anthony, and Stoudemire's pick-and-roll, these are simple and efficient offensive methods, very reasonable.

The reason why the Knicks were able to buck the trend and beat the Heat to enter the finals was also inseparable from their "steadiness".

Many experts have pointed out that the reason why the Knicks can win consecutive games in the Eastern Conference finals G6G7 is not because of how well they played.

It's just because they played reasonably, played consistently, and the Heat just pulled their hips, so they won.

However, there is one player who seems out of place in such a team that pursues stability and rationality most of the time.

That's right, it's JR Smith.

The title of "nerve knife" is impossible to be linked with the words "reasonable" and "stable" in any case.

It is true that JR Smith is the most unstable factor in the entire Knicks team.

When he is good at writing, he can ask "God" to get on his body and play the super performance of "Three Minutes Jordan".

But in bad times, a game that should have been won can be ruined in a very comical way.

These are all situations that have appeared in the soil behind the house for a few years.

And the coaching staff of the Mavericks, precisely because of JR's characteristics, deliberately put the ball to his point to deal with, hoping to use JR's unstable factors to break the Knicks' soaring offensive rhythm.

However, JR's extremely reasonable way of handling the ball surprised them!

...[012211212054492470]

In fact, JR Smith never cared about what was reasonable or unreasonable when he played. There was no concept of "reasonableness" in his basketball philosophy from childhood to adulthood.

What he was more excited about was something similar to freestyle, the so-called improvisation.

The interest comes, think of how to fight, then how to fight!

That's why JR, that's why he sometimes shoves Jordan and sometimes pulls.

The ball just now was just that he just wanted to make an emergency stop in the middle distance.

The pressure is on the Mavericks again!

But they have no choice, they still want to give the offensive power to Nowitzki. Although he made a hit last round, the situation where he stumbled and stumbled with the ball obviously did not improve much.

But this time, Dirk Nowitzki once again singled and made a steady shot into the middle distance!

89:85

He has made two consecutive shots, and the Mavericks fans were relieved a lot.

"Look, Dirk has regained his touch, and we are saved!"

"Yes, as long as Dirk shoots, our offense will start!"

"Right now, the most important thing is to defend well!"

When it was the Knicks' turn to attack, the fans shouted neatly: "Defense! Defend! Defend!"

When the offense starts, do a good job of defense, it is the key to chasing points!

Bai Feng dribbled the ball past the frontcourt and was again taken care of by the defense...

This time, Bai Feng looked at Liulu, and did not give the ball to JR again, but passed it to Anthony who came out to catch the ball on the other side.

After Anthony got the ball, he made a three-threat move at a step inside the three-point line.

Swish!

hit!

91:85

Anthony still dared to go singles and shoot when he got the ball today despite his poor hand feeling most of the time, which is enough to show his strong self-confidence.

Of course, as the league's top scorer, this self-confidence is not less.

Even if the Mavericks knew that Anthony could not be released, under the premise of double-teaming Bai Feng, they had no more defensive resources to invest in limiting Anthony, and could only use Marion for single defense.

But it turns out that as long as Anthony has the touch, his singles are as unsolvable as Nowitzki. In this league, there is almost no one-on-one player who can completely defend him.

For the Mavericks, things started to get worse.

They did get back the smoothness of the offensive end, but on the defensive end, it seems that it is not easy to guard the Knicks.

The fans were worried again.

"Gan, it seems that there is absolutely no way to limit the Knicks' offense. It's not the way to go on like this!"

"Yeah, the Knicks have so many star players that they can score at any point, which is the benefit of a multi-core team."

"It's all my fault for not grasping the huge lead in the first half. Now that the Knicks have survived, it's not easy to beat them!"

However, just when Mavericks fans started to get anxious, their savior suddenly exploded!

Dirk Nowitzki hit the pick-and-roll with Terry and bounced to the 3-point line. After receiving Terry's pass, he didn't hesitate to throw a signature flak 3-pointer and hollow into the net!

91:88

Nowitzki, who made the shot, held up his hands and held up three fingers on each hand, the signature gesture he used to celebrate his 3-pointer.

The entire American Airlines Center also cheered for this goal!

Obviously, Nowitzki, who scored 7 points in a row, found his touch!

Just like the Thunder team in the last round, it was so hot that there was no solution!

Although the finals so far, Nowitzki has not been able to get back the BT to no solution in most of the time, and even many media believe that Nowitzki played at a super level in the Western Conference Finals, it is difficult for him It has always maintained that level.

But Dallas fans always believed he could!

As it turns out, Dallas fans' wait has paid off.

When the Mavericks were in a desperate situation, at the last moment of G2 [the Dirk Nowitzki, who was so accurate in his shots, reappeared!

The Knicks attacked, and this time Anthony's singles also popped out of the box.

In the Mavericks round, Terry quickly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and returned to Nowitzki, who had just come to the top of the three-point arc.

Although Stoudemire deliberately marked Nowitzki in this position this time, Nowitzki, who felt hot, completely ignored Stoudemire's interference in front of him. 4.7 Receiving the ball is a laser cannon.

Swish!

Stoudemire has been sealed to the limit, but Nowitzki still throws the three-pointer.

91:91

With 10 points in a row, the Mavericks tied the score.

In the rave of fans in the audience, Knicks coach D'Antoni had to call a timeout.

The whole scene has been completely hilarious, the Mavericks players are flocking to Nowitzki, although the game is not over, but their actions are like celebrating.

Obviously, only the Mavericks' own players would know how terrifying a hot Dirk Nowitzki would be!

The three-pointer made against the defender may not be a big deal, and his performance tonight may have just begun.

The fans in the stands were so excited that they even stood up and twisted to the dance and music of the cheerleaders on the field.

Even the fanatical boss Mark Cuban danced with everyone on the sidelines at this time, cheering on the Mavericks playing at home.

Here comes the real challenge for the Knicks!

Now, the two sides are tied, and there are only 4 minutes left before the end of the game. Both teams are the main lineup duel.

That is to say, the disadvantage of the Knicks' rotation is completely eliminated.

......

Opposite the Mavericks is not very complicated, they only have one superstar, what the Knicks have to do is to try to limit Dirk Nowitzki's offense while ensuring the offense.

It is said to be a very difficult challenge.

Why is it said? Because the Knicks and they played almost two games, the defense of Nowitzki did not feel very difficult.

Of course, this is also because Nowitzki has never played a hot state without a solution.

Now, his state is out, and it's time to test the Knicks defense!
