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

Chapter 120 He is always a passer-by and an extra

The Mavericks didn't opt ​​for a quick offense like the Kings did.

They only had a short pause at the end, so even if the ball was scored, they couldn't serve in the frontcourt.

Nelson knew that instead of gambling on two attacks, especially the last attack which required dribbling from the baseline to the frontcourt, which was too uncontrollable, it was better to pursue a stable attack and then come back to defend the goal.

He doesn't like to leave his fate to his opponents, but after this timeout, the Mavericks have no more timeouts, and he has no choice.

The 20-second pause was fleeting, and the Mavericks took the ball forward.

The Mavericks did not engage in any serving tactics. They sent the ball out steadily, and then Nash controlled the frontcourt and allowed time to slowly pass.

All the Mavericks players sank to the baseline, waiting for the tactics to be launched.

When the timer went from 24 to 10, Nash moved.

At the bottom line, Najera also moved first. He quickly came to Nash and set up a pick-and-roll for Nash.

Immediately afterwards, other Mavericks players also started running, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Bibby grabbed the pick-and-roll with difficulty and followed Nash.

But the tactics didn't stop there. Nowitzki also came to the high position to cover Nash.

Kings players were immediately on high alert.

The pick-and-roll between Nash and Nowitzki is the most threatening pick-and-roll combination for the Mavericks, and it is also the tactic most likely to be launched at the last moment.

Lu Yuanzhi tensed his nerves and stuck to Nowitzki, not giving him a chance.

On the other side, Najera, who had completed the pick-and-roll, took advantage of the moment when the Kings' attention was focused on Nash and Nowitzki, and provided an off-ball screen for Van Exel.

"boom!"

Bobby Jackson didn't expect to run into an off-ball screen while Nash and Nowitzki were running the pick-and-roll, and he slammed headfirst into Najera's arms.

Van Exel ran out of space.

When the ball arrived, Nash's pass immediately found Van Exel.

Bobby Jackson and Turkoglu were unable to catch up with the defense. Only Lu Yuanzhi was nearby Van Exel, but Lu Yuanzhi was staring at Nowitzki.

Lu Yuanzhi made a reflexive step away from Nowitzki, who was being guarded, and approached Van Exel, who was preparing to shoot.

In a flash of lightning, an idea suddenly appeared in Lu Yuanzhi's mind.

No, this is not right!
Lu Yuanzhi stopped in an emergency, and at the same time, Van Exel passed the ball to Nowitzki beside him.

The ball flies much faster than people.

Fortunately, Lu Yuanzhi braked quickly in the middle of the run, which gave him the possibility to defend Nowitzki.

Lu Yuanzhi tried his best to twist his body, kicked his left foot hard on the floor, and pounced on Nowitzki, who was about to take action.

Nowitzki was unaffected and threw the ball out.

Lu Yuanzhi could only stretch his body as much as possible, trying to reach the ball with his long arms.

"boom!"

Lu Yuanzhi, who was trying hard to block the shot, couldn't control his body at all and fell heavily to the floor.

It seems like it was rubbed a little?
Lu Yuanzhi was a little unsure whether he had really encountered a basketball.

After Nowitzki took the shot, a smile appeared on his face. The shot was very positive, with good power and direction.

Got it!

"Dangdang!"

The ball hit the front edge of the basket, and the smile on Nowitzki's face froze.

How can it be?

Did that kid touch a basketball?

Nowitzki looked at Lu Yuanzhi who was lying on the ground in disbelief, and Lu Yuanzhi was also looking at Nowitzki at this time.

This expression?
I hit it!

Webber, who returned to the basket, took the rebound steadily.

"Foul, foul quickly!"

Nowitzki reacted immediately, and before he could get upset, he started shouting at Najera, who was closest to Weber.

Najera pounced on Webber, but Webber was very awake at this time and did not give the Mavericks a chance at all. He quickly passed the ball to Bibby who was running forward.

Bibby was like a football running back, receiving the basketball steadily in the frontcourt, but did not choose to attack the basket.

He started dribbling, dodging Mavericks players who might come up to foul him.

The Mavericks' Nash, Finley and Van Exel, who were standing on the outside, desperately chased back, and finally stopped Bibby in a corner, who had been dodging.

"beep-"

The Mavericks committed a tactical foul and the timer stayed at 2 seconds.

Bibby got two free throw opportunities.

There were sighs from the American Airlines Center Arena. The fans held their heads and couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.

Bibby scored two free throws steadily.

110: 107!

The Mavericks were 3 points behind, but they had no timeouts and could only serve from the baseline.

Lu Yuanzhi, who had the strongest physical strength, stood in front of Najera who was serving the ball, stretched out his long arms and kept jumping to prevent the Mavericks from sending long-distance balls.

Najera moved back and forth on the baseline, still unable to find a chance to pass the ball. Time was running out, so he could only hit the ground and pass the ball to Nash who came back to meet him.

Nash took a few dribbles and saw that the time card was about to run out, so he could only try his luck by throwing a super long three-pointer from the backcourt.

The ball hit the backboard and missed the ring.

"beep-"

At the end of the game, the Kings defeated the Mavericks 110:107 on the road.

Nowitzki, who played for 48 minutes and didn't take a minute's rest, stood there blankly, looking annoyed.

The hope of finally equalizing actually slipped away from his hands!
After standing for a while, he finally came to life again. Seeing his teammates who were also downcast, he began to cheer them up, "Brothers, the series is not over yet!"

Nowitzki didn't want to say more on the court. He wanted to go back to the locker room and continue to encourage his teammates.

What happened to 1:3? Is 1:3 the end of the world?
Historically, it’s not impossible for someone to win the series after falling behind 1:3!
Never give up here.

After thinking about this, Nowitzki hugged his teammates on the court in turn, and then found Lu Yuanzhi.

"Hey, Max, did you really touch that ball?"

Seeing Nowitzki's somewhat unwilling expression, Lu Yuanzhi answered truthfully, "Maybe just a little bit, I'm not particularly sure."

"Seeing your expression, I just confirmed that I touched the basketball."

Nowitzki nodded, this is indeed a reasonable explanation, "Then can you tell me, why did you give up Van Exel at that time? Are you so sure that I was the one to shoot the last ball?"

It was not until the end of the game that Lu Yuanzhi figured out why that thought popped into his mind at that moment.

"You know what? Everyone says that Nelson is a mad scientist, but in my opinion, he is just a stubborn old man who stubbornly implements tactics that he thinks are feasible but that others think are whimsical."

Nowitzki showed a puzzled expression. What does this have to do with that defensive choice?
"A stubborn person will only trust his own people. To him, Van Exel is always just a passer-by. He is just an addition to LaFrentz. Only you, Michael and Steve are his own. people!"

"So, the three of you can only make such a crucial shot!"

Nowitzki froze in place after hearing this, but outside his sight and within Lu Yuanzhi's sight, Van Exel was walking nearby.

Hearing Lu Yuanzhi's words, Van Exel frowned in displeasure!
