Don't talk trash to him.
Chapter 184 On June 6, the weather was fine and Su Wan killed the group of Dallas people!
Chapter 184 On June 6, the weather was fine and Su Wan killed the group of Dallas people!
In the third game of the finals, Dirk Nowitzki's statistics were still sluggish, with 20 of 8 shots, and including free throws, his score barely reached 22 points. In addition, he had 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 turnovers.
Players with good inside coordination ability are all players who have strong ability to attract double-teaming.
When 1v1 cannot solve the opponent and the ability to attract defense is reduced, their passing risk will also greatly increase.
For example, in Chris Webber's first season with the Kings, he averaged 3.5 turnovers per game; another example is Olajuwon, even during the "two consecutive championships", his average number of turnovers per game was 3.3 assists, and his career average number of turnovers per game was as high as 3!
This is because they are taller and their passing movements are larger.
There is no way to change it.
As strong as Jokic is, after becoming the "core of the tactical system" of the Nuggets, his average number of turnovers per game has been more than 6 times for 3 consecutive seasons, with the highest number in one season reaching 3.8 times.
Nowitzki is no exception.
苏万这一晚再次拿下29分5篮板5助攻2抢断1盖帽,投篮命中率50%,三分球命中率40%,罚球命中率80%。
There is no doubt that Nowitzki was suppressed again in terms of statistics.
This is also the most torturous thing for Mavericks fans when watching the game.
It would have been a shame if Nowitzki just had a poor performance and missed Artest's shot again and again.
They also had to watch Suwan clean up the Mavericks' outside players one by one, from Stackhouse to Daniels, and then to Adrian Griffin. "Little General" Johnson once again showed his nature as a disciple of Popovich and tried all the available outside players. As a result, except for Josh Howard who could interfere with Suwan with his amazing arm, almost no one else was a match for Suwan.
But Suwan is not a fool. When Josh Howard stands in front of him, 70% of the time, he will call for a pick-and-roll and create a mismatch to attack other people.
In the remaining 30% of cases, Howard noticed the inside player's screen position and got close to him in advance, then Suwan would...
Call two pick-and-rolls!
Anyway, Suwan didn't give Josh Howard any chance to play against him.
If Howard really squeezed out the screener twice in a row, Suwan would quickly pass the ball to Dio on the wing.
With his strength and size, except for Josh Howard, who is tall as a forward, no one else can match him.
In short, Su Wan has ten thousand ways to avoid Josh Howard and then get angry at the other Mavericks players!
Worse……
After adapting to the Mavericks' defensive targeting, his performance has improved!
系列赛第四场比赛,苏万25投15中,三分球6投2中,罚球7罚6中,全场砍下了38分,此外还有7个篮板1次助攻2次抢断1次盖帽的数据。
Under his leadership, the Pacers once again defeated the Mavericks away from home, with a score of 110 to 81, a 29-point victory.
Nowitzki finally changed his playing style in this game. Facing Artest's height, he took more direct shots after receiving the ball, which allowed him to shoot 7 out of 4 at the beginning of the game.
When the excited Mavericks fans saw this state, they thought he was going to explode in silence, and all kinds of uniform shouts rang out at once.
Sure enough, the only "stimulant" in this city is Nowitzki.
If he performs well, it will really excite the city.
But Nowitzki gave up his attacking style and became a "high-position artillery".
From the No. 1 to the No. 4 position of the Mavericks, the only player who can hold the ball and play one-on-one for a long time is Jason Terry.
What's more fatal is that they have no lethality under the basket.
It is unrealistic to expect a blue-collar center like Dampier to wreak havoc under the basket.
What's more, he was unable to resist the enthusiasm of O'Neal. Standing on the court, his performance can be described in two words:
Lie flat!
Rick Carlisle immediately changed the tactics, expanding the entire formation outward, oppressing the Mavericks' space and forcing these players who mainly relied on shooting to solve the problem with breakthroughs.
The result is that every time someone makes a shot, O'Neal blocks it.
He is already good at blocking shots, and he blocked the Mavericks' shots 4 times in Game 7 of the series.
The Mavericks players were directly blocked and fainted.
Nowitzki's shooting percentage dropped rapidly when he encountered Artest's pressure defense. He tried to break through with the ball, force Artest back and give him offensive space.
But Artest didn't care about him at all, and used all kinds of close-range tricks to make "King Nowitzki" lose all his temper.
Nowitzki, who started with 7 of 4 shots, ended up with 19 of 8 shots…
That means his hit rate in the next 12 shots was 33.3%!
But his 42.3% shooting percentage is his highest percentage except for the first game.
All the outside world's doubts now poured into Dallas.
The New York Times said: "This is a jump-shooting team! Such a team often struggles with its shooting percentage when facing high-pressure defense! The Mavericks have proved this once again!"
Barkley said: "Dirk's playing style is too soft. As a power forward, if he doesn't have a skilled 'back-to-the-basket', it will be difficult for him to become more dominant!"
Bill Walton also said: "A team centered around the inside line must first play well inside, forcing the opponent to shrink to the basket, and then the outside line will be used. The Mavericks skipped the first stage and went directly to the second stage. Dirk Nowitzki, as the core of this team, was restricted by Ron for three consecutive games, and he has an unshirkable responsibility for this!"
Some commentators who sneered at the so-called "technical international players" said directly: "This is a common problem of European players. They often have good skills, but they dare not use their bodies. Pau Gasol is like this, and so is Dirk Nowitzki. In the last three games of the finals, Dirk's performance was no different from that of a wimp. When the team needs you to constantly attack the inside, you must do this. But he didn't!"
The person who was criticized the most was naturally the team's leader Nowitzki.
After all, the Dallas media has been speaking up for Nowitzki for some time, believing that he should be the regular season MVP winner this season and that Suwan is a thief. But now... you in Dallas call this guy the regular season MVP, and call Suwan the regular season MVP thief?
It is simply contrary to Tiangang!
Before the start of Game 5 of the series, Barkley posted on Facebook. As someone who considers himself Suwan's biggest fan, he knows very well that Suwan has never been soft-hearted in a game where one battle decides the life or death of others:
"I believe this series will end in Game 5 of the Finals!"
"Suwan will hold the championship trophy and the Finals MVP trophy in front of the Dallas people!"
"This will be the darkest day for all of Dallas!"
Not long after this Facebook post was published, a large number of Indiana fans rushed to the scene:
"Delete it, Charles, delete your comments immediately!"
"Don't you remember what Suwan told you? Shut up, Charles!"
"Don't talk, okay? We all know you're a fan of Su Wan, but don't talk, okay?"
……
As Barkley's comments on Facebook were repeatedly refuted by facts, many fans also witnessed his ability to "poisonous milk". At this moment, he congratulated the Pacers on their victory over the Mavericks in advance.
The alarm sounded in the minds of all Pacers fans.
I'm afraid a fierce battle is waiting for the Pacers tonight!
Murphy's Law, what you fear will come true, it really works...
The fifth game of the series continued at the home court of Dallas. The Mavericks fans, who were trailing 5-1, now faced the reality and no longer thought about a big comeback by winning three games in a row.
Such a miracle has never happened in the history of the NBA Finals.
But at least, this home court must be protected!
Even if they win the championship, they hope the Pacers will go back to Indiana to win the trophy.
The battle to defend American Airlines Arena has officially begun!
The expressions of the Mavericks players were also different from before. They were a little more nervous, but also a little more serious. They saw what the Dallas media and fans said.
Although they don't think they are necessarily hopeless.
But the games are played one by one, and now their goal is the same as that of the Mavericks fans, to win the home court first and change the score to 2-3.
I don’t know if it was the awakening of a strong desire to survive, or the display of the most attractive characteristic of being a “shooting group”, but the Mavericks’ shooting exploded tonight.
Right at the start, Nowitzki made a three-pointer, which was a good start for this destined to be an extraordinary night.
Then Jason Terry and others took action one after another.
In the first quarter alone, the Mavericks made 7 three-pointers.
The Pacers entered the second quarter with a 9-point deficit.
The Mavericks' condition was still exaggerated. This time it was Josh Howard who made consecutive mid-range shots despite Dio almost poking his eyes. He scored 11 points in a single quarter and helped the team lead by 13 points after halftime!
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely lively in the first half as the Mavericks team launched an all-out attack.
When Suwan returned to the sidelines in the second half, he heard Dallas' own racially discriminatory curses again.
This time it's not just aimed at Su Wan, but the entire Indiana.
The two games they won after arriving in Dallas disgusted the white pigs who called themselves "cowboys". In addition, the outside media has been attacking Nowitzki and Dallas. Now they finally found a chance to vent.
As for why they are so impatient...
The reason is also very simple!
Because they know very well that if they miss this opportunity, they will miss it forever.
Dallas's explosive state tonight is rare in the past few games, and they didn't even have such an explosive state in the first game they won. They must seize this fleeting opportunity to vent all their grievances.
Regardless of whether the final championship trophy belongs to the Mavericks, at least if the current situation continues to develop tonight, they can walk out of the AmericanAirlines Arena with a smile.
At worst, I can just not watch the next game, since it’s not the Mavericks’ home court anyway…
Their insults made the Pacers' defense even more fierce, and it can be said that they did not give them any shooting opportunities at all.
Nowitzki and Jason Terry could only keep attacking the inside to make them feel fearful.
I have to say that both of them were in pretty good shape tonight.
Especially Nowitzki.
Not only was he able to shoot from the outside, but he could also attack the basket and even when he was about to fall, he could still score the ball.
This state is simply...
But no matter how he attacked the basket, the Pacers were very determined to implement a close combat defense strategy today.
At the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks widened the score gap slightly to 15 points.
Rick Carlisle was not in a hurry, but felt that the probability of winning tonight had greatly increased.
Because the Mavericks shot 3 of 5 in the last 1 minutes of the third quarter, which was the worst shooting performance so far in tonight's game. This shows that the Pacers' defense was effective, and their state was exhausted in the Pacers' constant close combat.
If the Pacers had not been in good form recently, they could have narrowed the gap to about 10 points before entering the fourth quarter.
Unfortunately, the whole night of "close combat" consumed the Mavericks' state and also consumed the offensive state of the Pacers.
But for Rick Carlisle, the team's inability to get going on offense is the last thing he needs to worry about.
He only needs to shout, Guangzhi save me, ah, it’s Su Wan who save me!
That's it.
"Damn Chinese, you are destined not to be able to win the trophy in this stadium!"
"Get lost in Indiana!"
“Dallas will not witness you holding the Larry O’Brien Trophy, Ching Chong!”
But the lead throughout the game until now obviously made the Dallas people dizzy with joy, and they did not notice the Mavericks' weakness at the end of the third quarter.
They only saw that during the period when the Mavericks couldn't make a shot, the Pacers failed to seize the opportunity and catch up with the score.
That’s a pity!
You are destined to leave with your heads down tonight.
"Bah!"
Facing the unbridled insults from Dallas fans, Suwan successfully silenced them with a slam dunk at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the whole audience was silent for a second.
Whether Mavericks fans admit it or not, the scene in which Suwan scored 19 points in the fourth quarter of the season-ending game left a deep impression on them and made them extremely fearful.
So when Suwan scored at the start of the fourth quarter, Dallas immediately felt uneasy.
Once they realized this uneasiness and fear, they immediately turned into angry personal attacks, and the noise at the scene became even louder.
They were unwilling to admit that they were actually afraid of Su Wan.
"Is this what you need to win a 7 million contract?" Suwan began to focus on Dampier. Under normal circumstances, he needed his teammates to work together to catch up with the 15-point score. But as long as he can open "The Zone", the rest of the Pacers only need to do a good job of defense.
I thought this sentence would break Dampier's defense, but I didn't expect that he just looked ugly and didn't respond directly.
Such good patience?
This made Su Wan look at him with a new respect.
Or has the “little general”’s repeated orders reached this extent?
Then don't blame me for being rude!
"You're the only one who calls yourself the second best center in the Western Conference? The last one?"
"Can't you even beat me in rebounding?"
“Would Mark Cuban want to strangle you?”
"If I were the general manager of the Mavericks, you would have been pardoned by me!"
"Your greatest contribution to the Mavericks is to retire immediately, do you know that?"
……
"Damn it, shut your stinky mouth, Chinese, don't you see who is ahead now!"
Finally, Danville couldn't bear it anymore and fought back.
He spoke quietly, obviously afraid of being heard by his head coach.
There were less than 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter.
The score difference is still around 12 points.
He just couldn't believe that Su Wan could make a comeback with such a score difference!
But Su Wan heard his rebuttal clearly.
The noise at the scene was getting louder and louder.
Although Suwan has scored 8 points, given his current scoring frequency and the speed at which the Pacers are chasing points, the possibility of the Mavericks being reversed is getting smaller and smaller.
They mocked Su Wan even more unscrupulously.
As the sound entered his ears, Su Wan's eyes became extremely sharp at this moment.
"Bah!"
Dampier, who just couldn't help but fight back, saw Su Wan rushing to the basket, and instinctively stepped forward to intercept him, but he felt a black screen in front of his eyes. He looked up and saw Su Wan, who had just started to break through from the three-point line, rushing in front of him and jumping high while he was moving sideways. The huge sound of the slam dunk made Dampier's ears ring.
"beep!"
The referee's whistle also sounded at this time.
In the legal collision zone, Dampier, who did not jump, blocked the foul.
The boos at the scene suddenly stopped at this moment.
No one expected that at the moment when they thought they had won the game, Su Wan actually dunked over the 2-meter-tall Dampier.
"Shh!"
While they were stunned, Su Wan made the free throw steadily.
The free throws brought the score back to 9 points.
"Little General" Johnson immediately called a timeout and rearranged the defense against Suwan.
The speed and explosiveness of Suwan's rush into the basket just now were very familiar to Johnson, who had been studying Suwan's route for the past 10 days.
That was a sign that he had entered "The Zone".
damn it……
It’s definitely impossible to defend against it!
According to the various data collected by Johnson, there are almost no people who can continue to restrict Suwan in the "The Zone" mode.
Even if there is a way, it is not something that the Mavericks team with weak perimeter defense can refer to.
Now if the Mavericks want to win, they can only rely on their outstanding form tonight and continue to score.
"Come on, everyone, believe in your condition tonight, we can definitely win this game tonight!"
"There are still a few minutes left, hold on!"
As solemn as Johnson's expression was, Carlisle's was as relaxed. He also felt that Su Wan had entered "The zone".
Not only did he feel it, but Artest, O'Neal Jr. and others also felt it.
Artest couldn't help but reach out and want to touch Su Wan.
Look at Su Wan in this state and see if there is any difference between him and a normal person.
O'Neal slapped his hand away: "What if it disappears?"
Artest really didn't dare to move.
The game resumed, and the Dallas fans on the sidelines resumed their form, with the boos and trash talk that seemed to never stop starting again.
Johnson wanted to yell at them:
Shut up, now!
Why must you irritate him like this?
Wouldn't it be better to win this victory quietly?
Ok……
Johnson, who didn't know that Dampier had trash-talked Suwan, thought that it was the trash-talking from the fans on the sidelines that irritated Suwan.
To be fair, even though he is the head coach of the Mavericks, the Dallas people still cursed too much tonight.
He couldn't bear to listen any more.
But he couldn't stop the fans from booing, he could only pray that the Mavericks' offensive momentum could continue.
Jason Terry broke through to the mid-range. He had been in this position in this game and took five or six shots with a good hit rate.
But this time, when he reached the position and was about to jump up to shoot, he saw Su Wan jump out from the side and reach out to grab the ball.
Terry quickly passed the ball to Josh Howard on the wing.
Howard shook off Dio, and Artest, who was defending in front of him, quickly passed the ball to Nowitzki.
But what he didn't know was that his very obvious passing action caught Su Wan's eyes.
"Snapped!"
Before Nowitzki received the ball, Suwan took the lead and intercepted the ball.
Amid the exclamations from the audience, Su Wan stepped on the accelerator and rushed towards the front court.
"Get back to defense quickly!"
Following Pat Riley, Suwan successfully made Johnson jump on the sidelines.
Howard was the one who returned to defense the most promptly. He wanted to make up for his mistake, but Suwan made an unexpected "backhand dunk" to avoid his intended attack and successfully completed the counterattack.
Even when he landed, he seemed to have crushed Su Wan, but the referee did not blow the whistle.
7 points.
The scene became quieter.
Suwan scored 5 points in a row, and the arrogance on the faces of Dallas fans gradually turned into panic.
Score!
Score!
Score quickly!
Amid the anxious shouts of Dallas fans, Nowitzki rarely squeezed through Artest's close defense, rushed straight to the basket, and even had the urge to dunk directly.
But just as he jumped up high, like a German tank, and was about to complete a one-handed slam dunk, he caught a glimpse of the Pacers' No. 99 jersey. His eyes were instantly panicked.
"Snapped!"
Su Wan slapped him hard on the head.
The ball flew out of Nowitzki's hands.
To say that the current strength of this "German Tank" at the power forward position is not that strong, at most it is at the level of a small forward.
Because every time Su Wan blocked a shot from the inside, he would suffer the recoil and fall far away, but this time, Nowitzki was blocked by him and staggered to the ground. When he landed, he paused for a moment, then immediately stabilized his center of gravity and grabbed the blocked ball in his hand.
A shocking scene appeared at this time. Except for Nowitzki who staggered to the ground, and Dampier who was still in a daze, everyone else rushed towards Suwan immediately, trying to stop him together.
Su Wan laughed and threw the ball to the frontcourt. Calderon, who was unguarded, completed his first dunk experience in the NBA during a fast break.
The dunk didn't make a loud sound, but it was definitely a heavy blow to the entire Dallas community.
The panic in the eyes of the fans at the scene could no longer be suppressed.
Because of the score difference, there are only 3 points left.
It was a crucial shot for the Mavericks, but Jason Terry looked around at his teammates blankly while holding the ball:
Who should it be given to?
Logically, it should be given to Nowitzki at this time.
But he had just been hit head-on by Su Wan, and it would take more than ten seconds to digest this block.
If not giving the ball to Nowitzki, who else can we give it to?
"The German Tank" saw Terry's hesitation, but he still showed the responsibility that a leader should have.
It’s no use just being responsible on the basketball court!
You also need strength...
Artest felt very frustrated that night. In every round, he felt that he had defended well, but Nowitzki always managed to score the ball into the basket.
It’s so fucking unreasonable!
While he was cursing in his heart, he tried his best in every round.
In this round, he did a good job of blocking Nowitzki's landing position after receiving the ball.
When Nowitzki realized this and chose to move out, he cut the ball out of Nowitzki's hand and completed a key and fatal steal.
Terry, who couldn't stop Suwan, could only commit a foul in advance.
Su Wan walked to the free throw line and glanced at Dampier.
Under the light, the head of the "second center in the Western Conference" was bright, but his confused expression was still unusually clear.
He looked at Su Wan's incredible performance after he responded, and the Mavericks' lead was quickly wiped out. His mind was in a mess:
Just because of my reply?
Is he that angry?
Oh my God……
He sprayed so much trash talk at me, and I only replied with one sentence. Is he so angry?
Is this justified?
"Uh-huh!"
"Shh!"
The Dallas fans' "trash talk" continued, but compared to their previous excitement and excitement, this time they used "trash talk" to try to interfere with Suwan's free throws, and their voices were filled with despair and unwillingness.
But no matter how unwilling they were, they could only watch the Pacers overtake the score difference...
Nowitzki stepped up after Suwan's free throw and forced a shot, causing Artest to commit a hand foul.
At that moment, the Mavericks fans cheered for the first time in a long time.
But Dirk, who has always been very stable at the free throw line, only made 2 of 1 free throws in the end.
When the second free throw bounced out of the rim and was rebounded by O'Neal Jr., Dallas fans held their heads in their hands.
Barkley also shook his head: "Dirk's mentality has obviously fluctuated. The reality of being overtaken has crushed him!"
Then Suwan attracted a double-team, and Artest's three-pointer successfully allowed the Pacers to overtake by 1 point.
"Little General" Johnson decisively used the last timeout to arrange tactics.
Although the 12-point lead disappeared, they still had one chance to attack, 10 seconds, half-court serve. This time was enough for them to complete a tactical coordination. As long as they scored this goal, they could defeat the Pacers just like the last time they met in the regular season.
Mavericks fans are also praying.
Since they were able to do it last time, they believed they could do it this time as well.
"beep!"
The buzzer sounded, and the final round that would decide the game's fate officially began. All Mavericks fans stood up, holding their breath, waiting for a miracle to happen.
In fact, many Mavericks fans are already on the verge of collapse.
They really couldn't accept that the team was reversed by the Pacers in the last quarter after leading by 15 points, and it was Su Wan alone who did it.
This was the worst possible scenario they could imagine...
"beep!"
The whistle sounded again, and the ball was sent from Dampier's hand to Nowitzki. Nowitzki pretended to attack with the ball. This time the Pacers chose to double-team him, which made Johnson's eyes light up.
Do you know what the best thing about the Spurs is?
That is the ability to move the ball over a large area.
As a former Spurs player, Johnson also brought this trick to Dallas.
The ball flew from the double-teamed Nowitzki to Howard outside the three-point line, and then passed to Stackhouse, and then to Terry.
After two long passes, Terry, who received the ball, was in an absolutely open position.
Is it fate?
It's me again who makes the final throw.
The "Jet" shot the three-pointer without hesitation.
But just as the ball was about to fly out of his hand, before it flew out, a figure pounced in front of him.
Terry was met with a pair of determined eyes:
This time, I will definitely defeat you!
"Snapped!"
Then Terry felt a huge resistance coming from his hands.
Covered!
"Little General" Johnson closed his eyes in despair.
it's over!
The Mavericks fans at the scene were equally desperate. They looked as if all their energy had been drained away and their expressions were dull.
Amidst a low shout, the ball flew straight to the backcourt. Before it flew out of the court, a red light on the backboard lit up, followed by a shrill buzzer.
The same last-minute comeback, the same Mavericks ball possession, the same Terry's final attack.
But this time, Suwan fulfilled what he said in the post-match press conference:
Next time, he must block this buzzer-beater.
Tonight, when this opportunity really came again, Su Wan seized it.
It was another wonderful 15-point comeback in the final quarter. Barkley said: "Su Wan prayed to the gods, and the one who responded to him was his unwilling self at the end of March. This time, he made up for his regrets with his own hands, on the stage of the finals!"
"Let us congratulate this incredible super rookie, he won the championship again!" Bill Walton also shouted, "Dear audience friends, don't forget, he is only 20 years and 11 months old. At this age, Michael Jordan was looking forward to his draft pick, Tim Duncan was waiting to complete his senior year, and Magic Johnson, the most successful rookie in history, also experienced the pain of his first finals in his career."
"But Su Wan has already begun to launch a fierce attack on the throne of the league's top active player!"
Su Wan at the scene heard the buzzer and shouted to the audience:
"Dallas, out!"
After saying that, he looked ferocious and made a "throat-cutting" gesture to the Mavericks fans who had been yelling all night but had now stopped.
Reporters at the scene picked up their cameras and recorded Su Wan's action.
There is no doubt that this will be another banned celebration, just like the "throat-locking" move that Suwan did against Detroit last year.
But this will also become a classic shot in the NBA Finals...
Irene looked at this scene, thoughtfully opened her notebook, and wrote down the title of tomorrow's report:
"On June 6, the weather was fine, and Suwan killed those Dallas people!"
