Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 98: The strength is not the same. You fell down before you even exerted your strength!
"Miller returned to the field and replaced Boykins.

In the frontcourt, he broke through with the ball and reached the penalty area, causing Nowitzki's thug to foul and getting the opportunity to go to the free throw line and make a free throw. "

……

"Miller broke through and passed the ball to Jon Barry on the outside, who quickly moved the ball to the left.

Anthony caught the ball, lifted it up and shot a two-point jumper.

Swish-!
Have it.

Anthony was able to score as soon as he came on the court. This is because he brought a microwave..."

……

In the second quarter, Boykins led the rotation for 3 minutes, and then was replaced by the main players. The Nuggets' two perimeter guns came on the court and entered full firepower mode.

The Mavericks' "wealth battle" advantage was blocked by Boykins' 165-day negative lethality that "doesn't understand defense, and you don't even want to understand it." The advantage of dimensionality reduction attack was not obtained, but was regained by the Nuggets. The main players who came to the field were in full condition and killed in one go. Then, the game was inexplicably messed up.

In the second quarter, the Nuggets continued their offensive firepower from the first quarter and beat the Mavericks 36-25, achieving a lead.

At the end of the first half, the score was 60 to 69, and the Mavericks entered the locker room to rest with a 9-point disadvantage.

This is the terrifying offensive power of the Nuggets at home. The Mavericks scored 60 points in the first half, and they were still 9 points behind?
It's simply out of the ordinary.

上半场，安德烈米勒第一节输出7分3助攻，第二节4中3，罚球5中5，进账11分3助攻，半场贡碳18分6助攻。

安东尼首节8分0助攻0篮板，第二节5投3中，罚球3中2，进账8分3篮板，输出16分3篮板的半场答卷。

掘金队外线双枪合砍34分6助攻3篮板，当然，也少不了琼巴里这名奇兵5投3中，三分3中2，罚球1中1，9分2篮板1助攻的贡献。

To be fair, the Nuggets' internal twin towers originally had the advantage, but now their outside offensive firepower can bravely overwhelm the Mavericks' outside shooters. It's no wonder that the Mavericks still lag behind with their beautiful statistics.

第二节比赛，约什霍华德5中1，诺维茨基3中1，纳什2中1，芬利1中0……

The Mavericks lineup has too many cheating shooting styles. Only Tan Yang can beat him. He made 6 of 4 shots and 3 of 2 three-pointers. He scored 10 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds in the second quarter, and scored 15 points, 9 assists and 4 rebounds in the half. Even with a near-triple-double performance, he still couldn't lead the Mavericks.

“That’s what the Mavericks are!!

When the hand feels good, I can blast my opponents to death with firepower.

If it feels cold, it's a nightmare.

This is a championship-winning team that makes people happy and worried..."

“The main thing is instability.

No one can guess what kind of game they will play on the court. "

……

Returning to the visiting team's locker room, the faces of the Mavericks generals were not dull, but relaxed.

They have encountered this kind of situation too many times, so they can deal with it easily.

“We were able to score 60 points in the half, so the fault was not that there was a problem with our offense.

It's not the whole world's fault, but the Nuggets played offensive firepower that didn't belong to them.

It was obvious that they could not last.

It's enough for us to continue playing at our own pace. "

"So, enjoy the next half of the game..."

"..."

Nelson did not put pressure on his children to win.

After all, the Mavericks are on a winning streak that could collapse at any time.

Nerves cannot stay tense forever.

Perhaps, losing is also a good thing for the Mavericks.

It's nothing more than starting over.

Anyway, with the Mavericks' current record, there is a lot of room for error.

After 15 minutes of rest and recuperation, the game came back in the second half. Both teams started with their main players, then played music, and then played again.

“The Nuggets have the offensive ball.

Miller controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and the Mavericks had already set up their defensive formation. Run and gun was impossible, so it was a positional battle.

Facing Nash's pressing, Miller didn't actually hit, but distributed the ball to Anthony who was outside the 75-degree three-point line on the left.

He caught the ball and faced the basket, posing as an offensive three-threat. Phew, Finley pressed closely to grab the ball, and Anthony dribbled the ball to the right to break through.

What the hell?

Nowitzki on the inside and Nash on the outside both pounced on Anthony. It was so ungrateful that the Mavericks actually double-teamed a rookie player in a three-on-one style.

Alas, Anthony chose to go up to the man. He was too promiscuous and did not pass the ball. He continued to force a breakthrough into the penalty area. He went in and the basketball was cut off.

Nash took out the basketball, Anthony passed by, but the ball did not pass. The Mavericks had a chance to counterattack..."

At this time, Tan Yang had already started running early and was about to cross the center line.

Seeing this situation, Nash made a move and sent a quarterback-style pass through the half court, sending the damn basketball into the hands of Tan Yang in the frontcourt.

"Beautiful pass, great counterattack.

When Tan Yang got the basketball, the only thing left in front of him was the basket...well, it was still the floor..."

Swish-!
Qin Yang chose to use a solid layup to steadily pocket the counterattack score.

Anthony's offensive scoring during this period is indeed very sweet, but occasionally he will open up and the waves will fly.

After all, he led the team to 69 points at halftime. With this offensive firepower, he really has the money to waste.

On the commentary table, Kenny Smith shook his head and sighed after seeing this scene.

“The Nuggets offense has a lot of promise, but unfortunately, it’s still too young.

When you play against an elite team, you have no advantage in lineup cards, and you still make mistakes, you are on the road to death..."

62 to 69! !
The score difference is still 7 points.

The advantage seems to still be on the Nuggets' side.

The players on the field did not panic. After all, they played so smoothly in the first half.

Moreover, the Mavericks are really undefended.

They have confidence in their offense, and it will be enough if they return it offensively.

"Miller chose to break through with the ball, he went in, Nash fought and retreated, Tan Yang rushed to help defend, oh no, Miller pulled out.

Miller didn't wait for Qin Yang's defense to come over, and he shot. This was to test the Mavericks' defense with his shooting..."

Bang-dang——!
The basketball was thrown, but it missed.

After Anthony's offensive error, Miller failed to make a strong shot.

“The basketball missed!
In the battle for rebounds under the basket, Nowitzki withstood the impact of Camby and Hilario and protected the basketball in the backcourt.

After getting the ball, he immediately threw the ball to Nash to counterattack.

The rhythm of the game picked up easily. Nash rushed to the frontcourt without any obstruction, passed the ball to Tan Yang, and then cut to the right side of the 45-degree three-point line without the ball. This was Nash's first three-pointer in the first quarter. The location of false hair.

Sure enough, Tan Yang immediately distributed the ball after receiving the ball. Nash caught the ball, raised his hand, and shot a three-point jumper..."

The Nuggets' defensive rhythm was a beat slower. Although their offensive style was simple, they were not so focused on defense and slacked off a lot.

This is the problem of all teams in the rebuilding period. While they like to play emotional ball, they are also prone to drifting.

By the time Wash Leonard changed defense, it was already too late and all he could do was hear the gunshot.

Bang-dang——!
"The same shot missed!
The opportunity came, but Nash failed to replicate the success of the "three-point rain".

My goodness!

Walker actually grabbed an offensive rebound, and the Mavericks' offense was not over yet.

After landing, he lifted the ball and hit Hilario. Walker turned around and made a layup to finish the shot. Beautiful, this ball is there..."

Swish-!
After Walker scored, he clenched his fists tightly.

Once upon a time, he was also the leader of a team. Once upon a time, he was also one of the representative stars of the 96 golden generation.

If the Nuggets slack off, they will be countered.

64 to 69! !
The score difference changed to 5 points.

Outside the court, Jeff Bzderive rushed to the court to applaud, signaling the players on the court to hold still and stop wandering.

After all, Mo Wenwei Miller is the assist leader, and his ability to read the game is several levels higher. He can speed up by dribbling the ball. He can't play run and gun, so he immediately chooses to control the field and suppress the rhythm.

The Nuggets are in the lead now. The Mavericks are not in a hurry, and neither are the Nuggets.

Then, he moved.

"Miller took the ball and hit Nash, changed direction and broke through, and he went in.

Nash was about to lose, and his defense was terrible. Tan Yang rushed over to help defend.

Beautiful, Miller seemed to have predicted it. After attracting Tan Yang's defense, he immediately passed the ball to Wash Leonard who was outside the 65-degree three-point line on the right. He caught the ball, raised it, and raised his hand to shoot a three-point jumper. …”

Tan Yang actively turned around and returned to defense, but it was too late and he could only listen to the gunfire.

Bang-dang——!
"still none!!

The Nuggets came back in the second half and their shooting was too cold.

Oops, Camby finally, finally took off the offensive rebound. After landing, he turned around and made a layup. The ball was... Oh no, the basketball went in and jumped out again.

God is not on their side either, the Nuggets’ continuous offense is still failing..."

As brave as the Nuggets' offense was in the first half, the Nuggets' offense in the second half was full of hips and outside shots, but suddenly they ran out of water.

After playing for 3 minutes, Anthony made consecutive mistakes while being flanked. Miller shot and hit the ball. After being flanked, Wash Leonard's three-pointers or two points at the basket were missed.

The Nuggets are not good on the outside and not good on the inside.

On the contrary, the Mavericks' offense was so exciting and unstoppable.

“The Mavericks defense has changed.

While they were catching the big players and letting go of the small ones, and strictly guarding against Anthony and Miller, their defense also shrunk into the penalty area.

This is to test the Nuggets' long-range shooting ability..."

Bang-dang——!
Miller resisted Nash's block and missed a three-point pull-up jumper.

……

Bang-dang——!
Anthony's three-pointer after a three-pointer was threatening, but it was the same but different.

……

Faced with defensive opposition, the Nuggets' role players failed to withstand the pressure and shoot open shots, unable to bring fire support to the core players.

The offensive pressure falls on the perimeter duo of Anthony and Miller.

But unfortunately, the Mavericks focused their defensive energy on this group of "Nuggets Double Guns". It was impossible to break through. They could only try to shoot three-pointers from the outside, but they would die if they tried.

The Mavericks seized the opportunities created by the defense and counterattacked with accuracy.

In the third quarter of the game, the Mavericks' offensive firepower had not yet exploded, but they still beat the Nuggets with a score of 32 to 20, achieving a lead in the score.

At the end of the first three quarters, the score was 92 to 89. The Mavericks evened the 9-point difference and entered the final quarter with a 3-point lead.

在小牛队有针对的防守下，米勒3中0，安东尼4中1，沃什莱纳4中1……

The Nuggets' outside offensive group still has the three-point students in the first half, looking like student cadres, and their offensive shots are nothing.

Then, he crashed the game.

On the commentary table, Barkley could only sigh when he saw this situation.

“Whatever tactics I coach the team to play, I don’t know how to play offensive tactics.

Neither of the two offensive teams on the field was solid.

It all depends on the shooting touch, and no one can really hit it..."

……

When the fourth quarter started, the Mavericks' lineup changed to Nowitzki, Walker, Jamison, Finley and Nash.

Finally, finally at the end of the game, the Mavericks' All-Star lineup came together.

No choice, the Mavericks have already started the decisive battle in advance, and the Nuggets can only show their swords and bring out all five starting players to fight.

Bang-dang——!
Accepting Shi's pass, Nowitzki resisted Camby's block and missed the two-pointer.

Immediately afterwards, Walker's three-point shot from the bottom corner also missed.

"coming!!

Home court advantage is here for the Nuggets.

The reason why they started to play a fast-paced run-and-gun game with the Mavericks from the beginning of the first quarter was to quickly take advantage of the plateau's home court advantage.

This is the Nuggets' plan that is close to being a bright one. It's just a pity that the Mavericks failed to seize the opportunity and failed to defeat the Nuggets quickly in their good confrontation rhythm.

Although the Mavericks have a luxurious lineup now, the players on the court will inevitably be affected by altitude sickness until the fourth quarter, and they will not be able to maintain their best playing condition..."

In other words, the Nuggets have dragged the Mavericks to the next level and can beat the Mavericks with their experience.

Bang-dang——!
Looking back, Anthony's three-pointer continued to miss.

Hong Kong, Anthony is not good at three-point shooting, but when the Mavericks locked up his breakthrough, targeted his mid-range, passed the ball out, and were surrounded by CBA teammates, he could only continue to shoot three-pointers.

As a result, the basket was not used to him, and he still hit three points.

Subsequently, Miller's three-pointer also missed with a clang.

Camby grabbed an offensive rebound and made a second attack, but still missed.

Seeing this scene, Jeff Bzdelik was dumbfounded. His home-court advantage layout was undoubtedly successful.

At the end of the first three quarters, the Nuggets were only 3 points behind, and the game dragged on to the fourth quarter.

However, an unpredictable situation occurred on the court.

On the commentary table, Kenny Smith wanted to laugh.

"The Nuggets have a successful layout, but they are unable to harvest the fruits of game victory.

The Mavericks' state is obviously not on the line, but the Nuggets face the Mavericks' strategy of focusing on the big and letting go of the small, and it seems that there is no way to crack it..."

In the fourth quarter of the game, Anthony scored 4 of 0 shots and 2 of 0 three-pointers. Miller made 6 of 2 shots and 3 of 0 three-pointers. Wash Leonard made 8 of 2 shots and 2 of 0 three-pointers. The Nuggets' perimeter offense failed again.

There are two rough guys on the inside, and their offense cannot be considered a game.

Om-!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.

In the final battle of the fourth quarter, the Nuggets only scored 21 points. In a fast-paced offensive and defensive round, the Mavericks, who were in decent shape, scored 29 points.

With a score of 121 to 110, the Mavericks defeated the Nuggets with an 11-point advantage, extending their winning streak to 11 games.

Miller made 18 of 8, 5 of 1 three-pointers, Anthony made 18 of 7, 6 of 0 three-pointers, Wash Leonard made 21 of 5, 6 of 1 three-pointers, and 21 of 5 three-pointers in the game. Just these three. In terms of field goal percentage, even if the home-court advantage layout is successful, what will you do to harvest the game?

The Nuggets' loss was not unjust. Nash made 4 of 4 three-pointers in the first quarter and was able to withstand the Nuggets' three-point shooting for almost the entire game.

Coupled with Qin Yang's 7 of 4 three-pointers, it was enough to make them unable to hold their heads up.

Especially Qin Yang, who was extremely close to a triple-double with a terrifying performance of 23 points, 12 assists and 8 rebounds, plus Nowitzki's 21 points and 10 rebounds, Walker's 20 points and 9 rebounds, Jamison's 17 points and 7 rebounds, and Finley's performance of 12 points and 5 assists, even aside from Nash's offensive blast, the Mavericks' offensive firepower is still very impressive.

The Nuggets faced the Mavericks, and there was no room for mistakes. In this game, the Mavericks actually didn't use any force and couldn't exert their strength, but the Nuggets fell first.

The advantages accumulated by the F5 lineup are so unreasonable.
