NBA: No. 1 Forward

And now that the Knicks are in full swing, they also need a timeout to slow down the Knicks\' offensive rhythm.

After returning from the timeout, Chandler was put on the bench by Carlisle.

Heywood was replaced, but Heywood\'s movement speed was obviously not as good as Chandler\'s.

The Knicks continued to accelerate throughout the second quarter, trying to maintain each attack within 6-8 seconds, and the Mavericks had Nowitzki and Haywood, so it was impossible to catch up with the Knicks\' offense.

At halftime, the Knicks extended the lead to 15 points.

In the second half, after calming down for a quarter, Chandler barely regained his composure when he played again, but with two layups by Lian Dao and Stoudemire, Chandler quickly made five fouls.

Carlisle had no choice but to replace Chandler again.

…

When the Knicks thought they had controlled the rhythm of the audience.

Unexpectedly, an inconspicuous player saved the Mavericks from the brink of danger.

Jose Barea, a 2006 draft pick, has become the most powerful substitute for the Mavericks\' No. 1 position.

You say how high his upper limit is, that\'s not true, but as an undrafted pick, he has a tough character that some draft players don\'t have. The most important thing is that he also has a precise shot.

In the fourth quarter, the first half, Barea hit two 3-pointers.

But this time, with the help of Chandler\'s high screen, he made another shot from the outside.

"brush!"

"Three three-pointers, Jose made a contribution. He is definitely the Mavericks\' biggest contributor to this game! He helped the Mavericks close the score to 8 points again, and the Mavericks still have a chance."

"Sure enough, the Mavericks in the fourth quarter cannot be underestimated. They have experienced too many behind-the-scenes starts, and then turned against the wind."

"Can the Dallas people still replicate their previous miracles in this game?"

If the Mavericks won the game, Jose Barea is the biggest contributor, then Nowitzki should be the basis for Jose Barea to become the hero.

In the third quarter, facing the crisis of Chandler\'s end, Nowitzki stood up again, using the mid-range again and again, to bite the score. The whole third quarter not only did not let the Knicks increase the score, but , He also recovered two points.

This also gave the Mavericks a chance to chase points in the fourth quarter.

At this time, there are still 5 minutes before the end of the game, and the Mavericks are still behind by 8 points, but this 8-point difference may be two or three points for a team with excellent three-point ability like the Mavericks and the Knicks. round of questions.

Therefore, the Knicks as a whole are ready to fight. Every next round of theirs is very important, and the Mavericks cannot be given any chance.

Nowitzki was panting heavily at this time, and he felt that his lung tubes were about to explode.

This game seemed to bring him back to the previous year. No one on the defensive end shared the pressure for him, but on the offensive end he needed to continue to output.

Throughout the third quarter, Nowitzki faced Lian Dao\'s double-team, Stoudemire\'s attack at the basket, Cousins\' supplementary defense, Lian Dao\'s breakthrough, Holiday\'s interspersed... the entire third quarter, the Knicks For one purpose, that is to constantly consume the physical energy of the Mavericks and Nowitzki.

But even so, Nowitzki still scored 18 points.

The Mavericks struggled until the fourth quarter. Without Barea\'s three three-pointers, the Mavericks would have no chance to turn the game around.

But the Knicks\' next offense made it harder for the Mavericks to chase points.

Facing the Mavericks\' chasing points, the Knicks certainly would not choose to remain indifferent.

Marion stared at Lian Dao profusely from beyond the three-point line. At this time, Lian Dao had scored 43 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists under his defense.

On the offensive end, Lian Dao beat Marion.

In this game, the Mavericks had two victims of Lian Dao\'s trash talk. One was Chandler, who committed a reckless and senseless foul at the beginning of the third quarter; It was some unnecessary shots and reckless steals.

He gave Lian Dao too many opportunities.

Now Marion has come to his senses, no matter what Lian Dao says, he is indifferent, as if he can\'t hear Lian Dao\'s words.

This made Lian Dao feel a little bored, and he simply stopped using trash talk to seduce him into making mistakes.

When Lian Dao saw Stoudemire coming to the outside line, he suddenly accelerated. With the help of Stoudemire\'s off-ball screen, he got rid of Marion\'s entanglement, and then received a pass from Holiday.

Raising his hand on tiptoe to shoot, Nowitzki made up for it in time.

But then Lian Dao withdrew the basketball, and under Nowitzki\'s desperate eyes, he jumped towards Nowitzki\'s body that was pounced on him.

Nowitzki wanted to adjust his body, but he was helplessly exhausted now, and his overall reaction was a little slow.

He could only watch helplessly as Lian Dao hit him. Lian Dao casually threw the ball towards the basket while his shooting posture was extremely deformed, and fell to the ground exaggeratedly.

"Damn, this brat is too insidious, he just wants to make a foul! No wonder, Sean and Tyson both want to beat him to death, it\'s so irritating!"

The moment Nowitzki fell to the ground, many thoughts floated through his mind, even the good-tempered Nowitzki was itchy with hatred for Lian Dao.

"Beep!"

"Bang, bang, swish!"

When he fell to the ground, Lian Dao saw the basketball hit the rim, and Lian Dao thought the ball was a hit, which made him feel a little pity, but when he thought that the ball was originally aimed at fouling, he smiled again .

But unexpectedly, the basketball hit the rim, jumped high, hit the inside of the rim again, and then rolled into the rim.

"Oh, well, Sickle\'s second 3+1 goal in the game is really unbelievable. Although the second goal has an element of luck, sometimes luck is also part of strength!"

"Now, the Mavericks are in trouble. If Sickle makes a free throw, the Mavericks will be back to 12 points behind. This point difference is too dangerous for the Mavericks!"

"Dirk, you don\'t want to take away the victory from Madison Garden!" Lian Dao took advantage of the free throw and walked up to Nowitzki\'s ear and said.

Afterwards, Lian Dao, who stood on the free throw line, made another steady free throw.

The Mavericks still hope to use Barea\'s three-pointer to chase points, but this time, even Barea is no longer magical.

Holiday, who has already raised 12 points of caution to him, did not give Barea any chance this time.

His three-pointer was taken down by Holiday, and then Holiday, who grabbed the basketball, went straight to the fast break.

For Holiday, Barea\'s defense was like a paper lake. After passing directly, he scored a layup.

The point difference came to 14 points, and Carlisle called a timeout again. If the timeout was not called, the Mavericks could surrender directly.

After returning from a timeout, Carlisle replaced Sean Marion with Peja.

The Mavericks sent three three-point shooters from the outsideThe purpose is obviously to chase points. If the three-point shooters still cannot change their fate against the sky, it proves that the Mavericks will die in this game.

This is Carlisle\'s last-ditch effort.

Of course, these three three-point shooters are a combination of fiction and reality for the Mavericks.

If the Knicks stick to the outside line, Nowitzki will get a chance to play singles inside. At this time, the three-point shooter is false and is responsible for covering Nowitzki.

If the Knicks continue to choose to double-team Nowitzki, then the Mavericks\' three-point shooter will have a chance to fire directly from the outside, and at this time it will change from virtual to real.

After a timeout, Lian Dao saw the Mavericks\' lineup and knew what it meant.

Lian Dao\'s opponent became Peja Stojakovic. Facing Peja, Lian Dao didn\'t dare to defend him like he defended Marion. You must know that Peja is a well-known three-point shooter in the league. He is currently three-point shooter in his career. The shooting percentage reached 40.1%.

This kind of hit rate, if you dare to let him go, he can really make a direct shot.

Barea didn\'t have the slightest chance under the defense of Holiday. He handed the ball to Nowitzki.

Carlisle\'s goal was achieved, with outside restraint, Nowitzki got the chance to single Stoudemire.

As for Cousins, he didn\'t dare to let go of Chandler, and Nowitzki\'s pass didn\'t stretch his hips.

As long as Chandler is still on the court, Cousins ​​dare not put Chandler down to double-team Nowitzki.

Carlisle is full of confidence now, and now he wants to see how the Knicks break through this game.

"You really treat me like a mob who collects experience!" Stoudemire saw Nowitzki leaning on him to get the ball again, and then attacking under the basket.
