Defending champion

Chapter 91 The Battle of Vengeance
The next night, Jack had to pack his bags immediately and head to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks away.

The Hornets played with revenge this time around.In the last confrontation with the Dallas Mavericks, the Hornets lost at home due to lack of personnel and lost the game.The 7-game winning streak that led to the Hornets finally coming to an end came to an end.

For these soldiers of the Hornets, they are always in mind, especially Michael Jack. Jack is a very paranoid person who wins, and it is absolutely not allowed to fail twice in the same place.

However, it is not an easy task for the Hornets to succeed in revenge.The last time the Hornets fell behind by a big score was not a very accidental thing.

The 06 team, the Dallas Mavericks, is not as good as the 2011 championship team in terms of staffing.The team's leader Nowitzki is not as mature as that time, his shooting is not so unsolvable, and the golden rooster's independent shooting has not yet been developed.However, the strength of this Mavericks team is placed in the league, and no one dares to underestimate them.Because teams that dare to underestimate them will pay a heavy price for it.

Jack's long-awaited revenge battle is about to begin.

Dallas Mavericks roster:

Center: DeSagana Diop Power Forward: Dirk Nowitzki Small Forward: Jerry Stackhouse Shooting Guard: Jason Terry Point Guard: Devin Harris
The main lineup of the Hornets is still unchanged, and the main players from both sides came to the court to stand up and prepare to jump the ball.

Jump ball for both teams, Hilton vs Desagana-Diop.Perhaps because of some stimulation, Hilton of the Hornets is in a very good state today. It is very rare for the Hornets to take the lead when earning the ball.

According to statistics, Hilton jumps the ball for the Hornets, and the probability of success is only 20.00%. That is to say, Hilton can only win twice in 10 jumps.

Hilton pulled the ball into the hands of Hornets guard Chris Paul.Paul safely escorted the ball to the frontcourt.

Devin Harris came up immediately and made a close press on Paul.Devin Harris has good defensive awareness and attitude, and his physical fitness is enough to support him to become an excellent defender.However, his brain may be flooded. He has been in the league for several years and has not accumulated any defensive experience.Defense is purely your gamble.

Paul caught the characteristics of Devin Harris, and Devin Harris failed to steal Paul.Paul got rid of the defense of Devon Harris, relying on the advantage of speed, he went straight to Huanglong.

Center Desagana-Diop immediately came to help defend, Paul would not know, he was waiting for Desagana-Diop to come to help defend.Seeing the opportunity, Paul assisted Hilton who was vacant.Hilton made a small dunk at the basket, giving the Hornets the lead.

The morale of the Mavericks was not affected by this dunk and immediately counterattacked.Devin Harris used his speed advantage to bombard the Hornets' rim.

Devin Harris's speed is really nothing to say, the speed is very fast, especially Tal's first step.Paul's speed is not slow, but Devin Harris still missed Paul by half a step.

On David West's head, a heavy dunk was staged, and it also caused David West's foul.David West was at a loss this time.Not only did it serve as someone else's back, but it was also scored two plus one by others.The most depressing thing about playing basketball is this.

Perhaps today David West was doomed to be a tragedy, with a lot of fouls. He played less than 6 minutes in the first quarter, and Dirk Nowitzki scored 2 plus 1 successfully.There was not enough time in half a quarter, and he committed 2 fouls.There is no way David West can only leave early to rest.

Jack replaced David West.

Jack is also extremely excited today, not only because he can get revenge today, but more importantly, since the last game, after successfully killing the Mavericks, Jack has become more confident in his mid-range shooting.Moreover, after these two days of training, Jack is still more than 20000 experience points away from the seventh level.Jack can't wait to take out this skill to practice and see his actual power.

However, in the first quarter, Jack didn't get a chance to get a mid-range shot at all.But Jack played an indelible role on the defensive end.Successfully restricted Dirk Nowitzki's shooting. In this quarter, under the defense of the Czech Republic, Dirk Nowitzki only hit 7 of 1 shots.Not only that, but he also scored 4 rebounds, including a frontcourt rebound.2 points were obtained through supplementary deductions.The most valuable thing is that Jack didn't make a single mistake.

Due to Jack's outstanding performance, the Hornets also led the Mavericks by 9 points in the first quarter.The score between the two sides was 21 to 30, and the situation was clear for the Hornets.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Jack hadn't left the field to rest. At the beginning, Jack was still playing with a group of substitutes.During this period of rotation, Jack is also very embarrassing for himself.Faced with the Mavericks' weak bench inside, Jack received three passes from PJ Brown, three dunks and two blocked shots.

Realizing that something was wrong, the Mavericks quickly replaced Nowitzki and wanted to use Nowitzki to restrain Jack.After Nowitzki came up, Jack's performance was not as crazy as before, but still, he scored 3 rebounds on Nowitzki's head.The main force of the Hornets is also back in full.Jack, who had already fought hard for a quarter, also completed the task gloriously. With 5 minutes left in the second half of the second quarter, he was replaced by David West.

Jack's form on the field immediately changed a lot. Nowitzki was not restricted by Jack's wall, and his shooting percentage began to pick up.It's not that David West's defensive ability is not strong, but compared to Michael Jack's defense, David West's defense is really much worse.

After Dirk Nowitzki wobbled in front of David West, the announcer yelled out, "Dirk, Nowitzki also had a short-lived thought out of the middle... "The loud syllable.Nowitzki's touch is starting to come back.Hit after hit on David West's head.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Mavericks started their big wave of chasing points and gave the Mavericks a 12-2 spurt. After halftime, the Hornets were overtaken by 1 point.The culprit behind this wave of chasing points was Dirk Nowitzki. In the second half of the second quarter, Dirk Nowitzki made four of 5 shots and scored 10 points. Fouls by David West and Hilton.

On the Hornets side, even Paul still played very well.There were 5 assists and 2 steals in a single quarter, but they still couldn't resist, and the Hornets ended the bad luck of being overtaken in the second quarter.

Because of David West's weak performance in the second quarter, Jack replaced David West at the beginning of the third quarter.

Due to Dirk Nowitzki's wonderful performance in the first half, the Mavericks still resolutely started from his point in the second half.

The Hornets have already taken precautions against this. The Hornets' defense is very good, and the Mavericks' passing speed has been destroyed several times.Nowitzki misses the pass.However, the Mavericks are still very persistent and determined to start from this point of the Mavericks.

However, very unfortunately, Devon Harris made another missed pass.The ball was successfully intercepted by Jack who was waiting for a rabbit, and Jack handed the ball to Paul in time.

Paul organized the attack.

Nowitzki was also very depressed. He failed to catch the ball several times, and his self-confidence in his heart was also consumed little by little.Nowitzki appeared to be inattentive and missed Jack. Jack under the basket successfully received the alley-oop from Paul, gliding in the air and dunking.

Today's top ten goals were born. Paul assisted Michael Jack and scored a successful two-handed dunk.The morale of the Hornets was also hit by Jack's slam dunk.
