NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 116 Nelson’s third scientific research
"Charles, the latest news is that Peja Stojakovic, the main small forward of the Kings, was injured in training and will not be able to play in this game." Before the game, Kenny Smith, who was sitting in the commentary box, talked about the latest changes.

Stojakovic's mental state has not been particularly good since he was elbowed by Malone. After colliding with his teammates in training, he sprained his ankle when he landed and will definitely not be able to participate in the fourth game against the Mavericks.

The injury is still under further observation. In the worst case, he may be absent until the end of the year.

"This is really bad news," Barkley opened his mouth. "In this series, Peja averaged 15.3 points per game and is an important source of firepower for the Kings."

"Yes, and Peja's absence will definitely affect the Kings' bench rotation. Let's see if there will be any changes in this series."

"Peja's absence will indeed have a bad impact on the Kings, but Kenny, I am more concerned about what strange tactics Nelson will come up with. He has brought us too many surprises in this series. "

Not only Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith are concerned about what weird tactics Nelson will come up with after two days of rest, fans all over the world are waiting to see how the Mavericks can regain a victory under the leadership of Nelson.

With such an exciting battle, it’s best to play all 7 games!
Neutral fans all have this idea.

But at the beginning of the game, people were surprised. Old Nelson didn't come up with any unusual tactics. They returned to the team's original style of play and were not led away by the Kings.

If anything, it's the addition of outside shots from the troika.

The Kings moved Bobby Jackson into the starting lineup and formed a dual point guard with Mike Bibby.

This effect can only be said to be very general.

Bobby Jackson was replaced by Turkoglu in less than 6 minutes because he had to lead the bench for rotation time.

Without Bobby Jackson, there would be no assaulters on the bench, Turkoglu would advance too slowly, Lu Yuanzhi would not be able to dribble, and the team would not be able to counterattack.

Bobby Jackson's playing time was cut into fragments, he was off the game in less than 6 minutes, and he played again in more than 9 minutes. He was resting again at the beginning of the second quarter, and appeared again in the second half of the second quarter.

With such sparse playing time, Bobby Jackson's hands couldn't warm up at all, and his performance became mediocre, without the "Captain Commando" posture in the previous games.

So, if there are superstars who can travel during off-peak hours, that would be pretty cool. What do you think?Ha ha!
The two teams each played their own characteristics. At the end of the third quarter, the score between the two sides came to a 76 tie.

Everyone is back on the same starting line, the fourth quarter will be the decisive moment!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Dirk Nowitzki, who did not rest for 1 minute in the first three quarters, and Michael Finley, who only rested for 2 minutes, appeared again!

Off the court, Mavericks owner Cuban led the fans and gave a huge cheer!

This is our home field, this is our horse!

Although Dirk Nowitzki was very tired, but hearing the huge and uniform "Let's GO, Mavericks!"

On the other side, Lu Yuanzhi also came on stage.

In this game, Stojakovic was absent due to injury, which gave him and Turkoglu a lot of playing time. In the first three quarters, he has scored 7 points, 4 rebounds, 1 block and 2 assists.

It's just that the controversial decision to put Bobby Jackson on the starting lineup prevented the Kings' bench gangsters from attacking as they should, which is why the game is still in suspense.

But that doesn't matter anymore, the next step is the bloody fourth quarter.

"Hey guys, listen, don't think too much, don't put pressure on yourself." Divac, as the team's most experienced veteran, stood up at this time, "In this quarter, we just need to get more goals than the opponent. If you score, you will win this game.”

"It's that simple!"

Yes, it's that simple, and the Mavericks think so too.

Anyway, my defense is not good, and I can't limit the scoring of the Kings at all, so as long as I score more points and get more points than the Kings, I will win.

Therefore, in the astonished eyes of fans around the world, Nelson put together a jaw-dropping lineup.

Center Nowitzki, power forward Najera, small forward Finley, offensive guard Van Exel, and point guard Nash.

Yes, when everyone thought that Nelson had no more scientific research, the Mavericks' third scientific research appeared!

Extremely small lineup!

The ultimate offensive lineup!
The Kings sent a rotation of center Pollard, power forward Webber, small forward Lu Yuanzhi, attacking guard Christie, and point guard Bobby Jackson.

As a side with a psychological advantage, the Kings did not follow the Mavericks. They still maintained their own rhythm and first used the rotation lineup to observe the strength of the Mavericks' lineup.

With the first goal of the game, the Kings took the lead with a successful jump ball in the first quarter.

Webber holds the ball at the corner and Najera tops the defense.

Najera actively defended and pushed Webber outwards with more and more force, but the referee would not blow the whistle at this time.

At critical moments, they don't want to be the protagonist of the game.

The players are the real protagonists on the court!

Weber was roughly pushed, but he didn't care at all.

As Chris Webber, who debuted in the 90s and has experienced higher confrontation intensity, after observing the situation on the court, he let go of the ball and began to play Najera with his back.

Najera does a lot, but none of his distractions work in the face of sheer size and strength.

When Weber hit him for the first time, Najera bounced back some distance from the boss.

But Najera immediately used his quick steps to stick up again.

Unmoved, Webb turned slightly sideways and hit Najera again with his left body, shoulders, arms and crotch all pushing against Najera's torso.

The force was stronger this time, and Najera was knocked farther away. Then, before Najera posted back, Weber raised his hand and made a shooting posture.

Najera hurried back to take off and block the shot.

But Weber was just a fake move. After flying away from Najera, he raised the ball again and easily threw the ball in outside the paint.

That's it? That's it?
This is the third scientific research of old Nelson?

Weber grinned, turned around calmly, and began to slowly retreat to the backcourt.

At this moment, Nowitzki quickly ran to the baseline, took the basketball from the referee, and quickly found Nash.

The next moment, all the Mavericks players frantically started running to the frontcourt.

run run run!
start running!
Finley, who had hardly rested, took the lead, but his legs rushed towards the Kings half like a motor.
