Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

It's not actually a smoke bomb!

Before G5 Tianwang Mountain, the Mavericks locker room was already in chaos!

Dirk Nowitzki's flu outbreak caught them off guard!

And after announcing his high fever of 38 degrees, the situation is now even worse, which has soared to 39 degrees!

Nowitzki's entire face was red, while sneezing, while receiving physical cooling from the team doctor.

Obviously, he doesn't want to give up playing this competition!

As the only core of the Mavericks, if Nowitzki does not play in this crucial game, then the Mavericks are likely to lose.

In addition, his "soft egg" title will be confirmed again.

For public and private purposes, he must fight!

The use of drugs to reduce fever and cool down will greatly limit the state of the game.

Therefore, only these physical cooling methods can be used.

Although the flu and fever can also affect the player's state, the impact is indeed smaller than the side effects of drugs.

And, 14 years ago, Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, had a similar story of taking the flu to the battle of Tianwang Mountain and defeating his opponent.

With such a case ahead, Dirk Nowitzki is even more determined, he is going to play in this game!

Naturally, his willpower had nothing to say, but the situation still seemed difficult.

The high fever not only made his head dizzy, but he even suffered from general weakness and soreness in his limbs and back.

Although Nowitzki is still able to move normally, his movement speed, running and confrontation, and even his shooting feel have been greatly affected.

Faced with such a situation, the medical team couldn't help but ask: "Can such Dirk Nowitzki really be able to play?"

As medical staff, their recommendation is naturally to take a rest, otherwise, forcibly playing games will have adverse factors for the physical condition of the players.

But Dirk Nowitzki insisted on playing!

The coaching staff discussed for a while, and after reassessing the risk of playing, they agreed to Nowitzki's request and let him start the game!

Warming up before the game, when Nowitzki appeared on the scene with a towel on his forehead, but did not play to warm up.

Only then did the fans believe that he really had a fever because of the flu!

In this way, the news before the game is not a smoke bomb!

Coupled with the close-up of Nowitzki on the big screen at the scene, his face was redder than normal, and he was obviously having a fever.

Are you coughing twice?

This is more obvious.

In an instant, Dallas fans fell into despair.

"I'm going, Dirk Nowitzki really has a fever because of the flu, how is it so coincidental, it happens at this time..."

"It's over, it's the Tianwang Mountain, and I expect him to stand up!"

"Don't, my God, how can I get the flu in such a crucial game?"

"Will he still play? In this situation, even if he plays, he will not be in shape, right?"

The Dallas fans who saw this scene were extremely worried.

But there are also some optimistic fans.

"Dirk is wearing a training suit, so he's definitely going to play, don't worry too much."

"Cold and fever may indeed affect the state, but it is not absolutely impossible to play. Think of Jordan in the 1997 finals. It was also the night of the flu, and it was also Tianwangshan. They killed Team Titian!"

"So, we can also look forward to Dirk!"

Yes, because of Michael Jordan's flu-night consecration, Mavericks fans want their star to recreate that performance.

Of course, it can only be the case, the Mavericks have no way to retreat.

If you lose this Tianwang Mountain, then it is estimated that you will lose the championship again!

It wasn't until the home game that Nowitzki stood up and joined it.

But he seemed to be staggering when he walked, and it was obvious that the flu had a big impact on him.

But he still insists on starting!

To this end, the fans at the scene all stood up, applauded together, and dedicated themselves to the star who persisted in the game despite the illness!

The players on both sides stood still in the middle, and Nowitzki clenched his fists to his mouth from time to time to cough.

His state does not look good, and Stoudemire, who is temporarily facing Nowitzki, is even worried about whether he will be infected.

[Knicks start]

Point Guard: Bai Feng

Shooting guard: JR Smith

Small Forward: Carmelo Anthony

Power Forward: Amare Stoudemire

Center: Ronny Turiaf

[The Mavericks start]

Point Guard: Jason Kidd

Shooting Guard: Jason Terry

Small Forward: Sean Marion

Power Forward: Dirk Nowitzki

Center: Tyson Chandler

Perhaps he was still afraid that the Norvis gene was not in a state of being due to the flu, so Carlisle made changes directly in the starting lineup.

Take Terry up and replace Stevenson.

beep!

As the referee blew the whistle, Biyu started!

Chandler got the first wave of offensive possessions for the Mavericks.

The Mavericks round, the first round, was given to Nowitzki. Obviously, he wanted to try his hand.

The Knicks didn't double-team him either.

Nowitzki singles Turiaf, the golden rooster strikes the iron independently!

Did not score this goal, the Knicks protected the rebound, and Nowitzki coughed again on the way back to defense.

It was clear that the flu had no small effect on him.

Although it was said that even if he was completely healthy, it would be impossible for him to hit all the shots, but this strike was a bit outrageous.

It was almost three times.

The Knicks attacked, and Anthony's one-on-one came up too.

Mavericks round, Dirk Nowitzki try again, or strike.

In the Knicks round, Bai Feng assisted Stoudemire to complete a mid-range shot.

2:0

The Knicks opened the scoring on the road, and for the Mavericks, things turned very bad.

What they expected, Nowitzki played efficiently with the disease, such a situation did not occur.

On the contrary, with a morbid body, he played very unnaturally on the court.

The entire first quarter was played in half, the score came to 14:7, and the Mavericks were already 7 points behind!

And Dirk Nowitzki was 0 for 3 shots and didn't get a point.

Worst of all, his movement on the court was noticeably less aggressive than usual.

That is, at this time, Carlisle coach decisively replaced Nowitzki.

In an instant, the fans at the scene also lost their enthusiasm for cheering hard.

"It's over, Dirk is really out of shape, how are we going to win this game...々

"Hey, it happens in the game that needs to be won the most, is it really God's arrangement?"

"This plot is too bloody, I can't accept it anyway...

The fans are desperate!

The Mavericks are a single-core team, and Dirk Nowitzki is completely out of shape, which basically means that he doesn't play.

In this case, the combat effectiveness of the Mavericks will be reduced by at least half.

Although the New York Knicks' lineup also has many shortcomings, in terms of three All-Star players, the Mavericks can't compare with them.

Hit what?

The situation is also as the Mavericks fans thought, when Dirk Nowitzki went off the court, the situation did not improve, but soon the difference was expanded to double digits.

In the first quarter, we were behind by a double-digit point difference!

And the main player is almost completely out of state. In this kind of game, there is really no hope of winning.

Fortunately, at the end of the last quarter, the Mavericks' semi-rotation lineup improved, with Terry and Peja scoring consecutive shots.

But it's just to ensure that the score difference is not continued to expand!

At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks were 27:17 away, leading the Mavericks by 10 points.

Most of the fans at the scene have fallen into silence because they see no hope.

The Mavericks do not have a core "remaining team", and there is no way to compete with the Knicks.

The lack of Nowitzki is not only a loss of an offensive point averaging 25 points per game, he is not only the team's top scorer, but also the effect of attracting defense on the offensive end is also the league's top!

Not to mention his highly efficient singles, it is a weapon to dismantle the opponent's defensive formation!

Without Dirk Nowitzki, the Mavericks' one-offense and four-defense system will be completely paralyzed, which will also affect the use of rotation.

The Knicks bench was full of laughter.

The first episode was so easy!

Even though the Knicks' offensive feel is very general today, because the Mavericks have no main player, the offense and defense have been seriously affected, so they can play very easily.

In Anthony's words, it's: "Look, as the experts say, we're just lucky, there's no way..."

Everyone laughed, and Stoudemire joked at Turiaf: "Ronnie, you have to go to the end of the game to disinfect, don't bring the flu virus back to us, hahaha."

In fact, this situation does not occur. After Nowitzki has flu symptoms, the first thing the Mavericks medical team has to do is to "cut off the infection" on him.

After all, there are so many players in the Mavericks' locker room. If it's really going to spread, that team doesn't need to play games and just surrender.

The second quarter started soon.

Since Terry has to go to the starting lineup tonight to take on the Mavericks' scoring responsibility, the Mavericks' offensive power will be greatly reduced in the rotation.

This should have been their most powerful chasing time period, and the advantage is not very big at this time.

Under the leadership of Barea, the Mavericks did hit some counterattacks!

But the effect is not obvious.

When the main players on both sides returned, the Knicks still maintained a 7-point lead.

So, here comes the problem again!

Can Dirk Nowitzki still fight?

He was on the field again, coughing as he came on.

From the point of view of fighting will, there is absolutely no problem!

But Nowitzki as a projection-type insider, the more important nature is the feel and state.

As soon as he got up, he took the initiative to catch the ball and made a turnaround to break through the storm, but he neither got the whistle nor made a layup.

Fans even feel that tonight's Nowitzki can't jump high or run fast.

In this case, it seems that it is useless to persist!

Whether it is an extreme fan or a loyal Dirk Nowitzki fan, they probably have similar ideas at this time.

"In this state, you don't have to go on the court and play again. Both offense and defense have negative contributions. It's better to replace other players."

"I feel sorry for Dirk, don't play, let's have a good rest in this game, even if we lose, there is still a chance! Save your energy for the next game.

'. "Yeah, come down and rest, it's really not good to watch like this.

The American Airlines Center, originally known as the "Devil's Home", has lost its momentum at this time.

The whole game showed a kind of depression that had no chance of winning. The fans wanted to cheer the home team, and they couldn't even find a suitable reason.

The bad situation on the field continued.

Even if Nowitzki no longer insists on attacking by himself, without his huge offensive threat and restraint, it is not so easy for other players to score.

The gap continues to widen...

Swish!

Bai Feng starts making 3-pointers!

He even passed the alley-oop to Stoudemire!

In this case, even if JR Smith started to "get nervous" again, and there were two low-level mistakes on the offensive end, it did not affect the team's continued expansion of the lead.

The whole scene has been completely suppressed by the Knicks!

And Dirk Nowitzki finally made a mid-range shot at the end of the first half, and got the only score of the game so far.

In this way, at the end of the first half of the game, the away Knicks led the Mavericks by as much as 15 points with 52:37!

The Knicks scored 52 points at halftime, which is not much.

This is mainly due to their state today is actually very general, so in the away game.

Plus, the Mavericks' defense is actually aggressive!

In the case of the main player Nowitzki playing with an illness, defensive giants such as Kidd, Marion and Chandler all pulled their enthusiasm to the fullest and wanted to use defense to make up for the team's lack of attack.

Indeed, this has had some effect.

But the problem is that the Mavericks' offense in the first half is too bad!

Only get 37 points in a single game, obviously, this is not their normal level.

And Nowitzki made 7 of 7 in the first half and scored 2 points, which proved how serious his condition was tonight.

Throughout halftime, the Mavericks fans couldn't get up at all.

If this is a normal game, Nowitzki is not sick, but the team was too sluggish in the first half, they would not be like this.

Because after all, there is still hope, the first half of the game was not in good shape, so it can be adjusted completely!

In the second half (of Zhao) played his own rhythm and fell behind by 15 points, naturally it was nothing.

But if it's sick, then the problem is completely different!

Most fans know that in this case, if players want to keep playing, they cannot use drugs to cool down, they can only cool down physically.

But in this case, the fever will last a long time!

According to normal logic, Nowitzki is almost impossible to reduce the fever in the second half, and then return to normal.

So, there is no hope.

At halftime, in the Mavericks locker room, Dirk Nowitzki was lying on the treatment chair and continued to receive physical cooling by the medical team.

At this time, his head was dizzy, and his limbs and back were still weak and sore.

This kind of feeling is very bad. His 7 shots in the first half not only lacked the touch, but even felt it was difficult!

1 for 7, straight.

In this case, the team behind is probably inevitable.

Now, starting to get a little irritable.

Even with some temper, he frowned and said angrily: "You must help me lower my body temperature, before the second half, it must be lowered, otherwise, the game will be over.

The Mavericks' locker room was silent.

Get rid of Nowitzki, the Mavericks may be difficult to rely on other players to reverse the game.

Although this statement sounds a bit absolute, the old players of the Mavericks still have a correct understanding of the strength of themselves and the team.

In fact, they think Nowitzki is right at all, if he can't score, kill, but contain, the Mavericks' offense will become a backwater!

Mavericks medical team members, look at me, I look at you, and finally, an older medic said, "There is a way, but there may be some side effects.

Nowitzki immediately grabbed his arm: "What method? What are the side effects? As long as I can recover in the second half, I can only try."

"It's not guaranteed to work, but it might work."

"Then try it seven!".
