Forward to the basket

Every traditional strong team has a backbone, just like the Spurs' scoring leader may not necessarily be Duncan, but that deadpan guy is definitely the soul of the entire team.

Regardless of how many points Parker can score in each game, or what strange shape Ginobili can twist himself into to complete a layup, as long as Duncan is still playing, this guy is irreplaceable.

Just like the Lakers with only Kobe left now, except for "Peter Pan", they have nowhere to go.

Similarly, the same is true for Paul Pierce for the Celtics, they are all nails.

What the Mavericks can rely on is Nowitzki, a big man from Germany. From the day he was there, this German has used his stable performance to lead the team forward.

Even though his Mavericks failed in the Finals and many people criticized the German for his lack of leadership qualities, the Dallas people still believe that the German is their strongest pillar.

Whenever the Mavericks were in trouble, it was basically the German who stood on the front line, facing any opponent, and using his scoring to solve the problem.

The best big pitcher in the past ten years, if you really want to position this guy as a pure pitcher, then Nowitzki is qualified to add the word best before this position.

Except for his rookie season, this German can guarantee that his scoring has been maintained at 20+ for several consecutive seasons, and his shooting percentage can also be above 45%. This kind of data is definitely considered vigorous.

In addition, while ensuring that his scoring continues to be stable, he can also guarantee to grab about 9 rebounds per game. This kind of control and the role of the fulcrum at the basket are definitely the backbone.

Every time the Dallas people are in trouble, Nowitzki will stand up, this time is no exception, trailing by 13 points in the first quarter, and still playing on the road.

Although they bear the title of No. [-] in the Western Conference, the Celtics were obviously more brutal in the first quarter, always pressing the Mavericks to bombard wildly.

It is completely a state of stepping on the No. [-] in the Western Conference. Johnson and the Dallas people are a little helpless about this situation.

In the end, Nowitzki had to come out to solve the problem, and this guy did what he said. At the beginning of the second quarter, he hit a three-pointer against Chen Feng in less than ten seconds.

The stability of his shots and his grasp of shooting opportunities gave Chen Feng no chance to block shots in face-to-face defense, which really made Chen Feng feel a little bit annoyed.

If this was normal, Chen Feng might use his spring-like jumping ability to intercept in the air, but Nowitzki never gave the opponent a chance to block from the moment he made the shake.

Rhythm, the German didn't have a super speed of movement, he wasn't the standard shooting style, but the rhythm of the whole shooting made Chen Feng a little confused.

Even Chen Feng himself had to admit that at that moment just now, that German guy completely understood his every move, shaking, and shooting, it was his defensive opening.

He only hesitated for a second, and the opponent had already turned the fake move into a real shot. The stability of the shot made even Reggie Miller sigh after seeing it.

"Dirk's shooting action is difficult for ordinary people to guard against. This guy is too high, and his release point is too high, which will make the defenders feel very uncomfortable."

Miller himself is a good shooter, and it is estimated that only people like him will clearly know how precise and difficult to defend Nowitzki's shots.

"Reggie, what do you think will happen if you compete with Deke for shooting?" Kenny Smith was on the sidelines, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, and ran on his partner.

"Outside the three-point line, I win, and inside the three-point line, he wins." Although Miller retired, this guy still has a bit of arrogance. The opponent who made Jordan feel sad for so long was not given for nothing.

The bickering between the two commentators will not affect the confrontation on the field. What Chen Feng has to face now is a standard sharpshooter, and this is still a one-on-one contest.

The animal-like German was a few centimeters taller than Chen Feng. His not-so-standard shooting movements were so erratic that people couldn't figure it out. It was hard to judge when to make a shot.

It's not that Chen Feng has never encountered excellent inside opponents, such as Rasheed Wallace and Stoudemire are relatively fierce inside opponents.

But the offense of those two guys is more concentrated near the three-second zone or under the basket. Even if Wallace sometimes pulls the outside line to make a three-pointer, it is not a conventional offensive method.

Not to mention Stoudemire, a guy who makes most of his offense in the paint.

Occasionally, there are mid-range shots, and that guy is like carrying a pack of dynamite. The balls he throws are all straight and straight, without any soft touch at all.

But today, the German guy that Chen Feng was going to face had a shooting range that was difficult for ordinary big men to match. Apart from his height, this guy's offensive methods were also troublesome.

The most important thing was that during the entanglement in the first quarter, Chen Feng clearly felt that Nowitzki was not the kind of coward who would collapse at the first touch. Although that guy was not particularly strong, his confrontation ability was not bad.

If you compare your physical fitness with those black boys, Nowitzki must be at the middle and lower level, but the German guy will not lose his stability in the collision of shoulders and heels.

No matter how hard he is stuck by the opponent, he can still find enough space for himself to raise his hands and shoot.

A direct three-pointer might not be fatal, but Avery Johnson's highly targeted tactical adjustments slowed down the Celtics, which had been running at high speed before.

It's not that Rondo and West can't run anymore, but that there is a difficult opponent in front of these two guys, and Terry is now concentrating on pestering West.

In front of Rondo, Stackhouse, who had just played, began to follow him like a shadow. The guy who graduated from North Carolina has become the best sixth man of the Mavericks.

Stackhouse has lost the idea of ​​a crazy scorer when he first debuted. After the Mavericks took root, this guy seems to have changed.

Although the defensive skill is not necessarily much stronger, this guy is desperate enough on the defensive end, coupled with his strong physical fitness, Rondo really can't find a good way to get rid of the entanglement for a while.

With these two guys locking up the two point guards arranged by Rivers, the Celtics' rush speed, which had been at the limit before, was forced to slow down.

Without the ultimate sprint, you have to fight the opponent's positional battle, but Rivers' tactical arrangement is not a good choice for a positional battle.

Especially on the periphery, there is not enough firepower, which makes Rondo throw the ball to Chen Feng or Jefferson in addition to Pierce who is hovering on the periphery.

Under Terry's entanglement, West couldn't find any good opportunities to run and catch the ball, let alone this guy's unreliable three-pointers.

Pierce is also entangled by Harris, and it is not too difficult to beat his opponent alone, but what Pierce has to consider now, in addition to dealing with this guy in front of him, he also has to consider if the opponent replaces him with Howard. It's not that there is still enough physical energy to continue entangled with the other party.

However, after a little hesitation, Rondo passed the ball directly to Pierce, but this time Pierce did not catch the ball and directly ate Harris, but passed it directly to Jefferson, who had succeeded in the inside position without pausing. , Diop has been stuck behind Jefferson, unable to block the pass.

Jefferson's touch is good, especially in the first quarter, this guy's hit rate is [-]-for-[-], pressing Dampier to attack consecutively, now although the Mavericks have changed a guy, but Jefferson still doesn't want Diop Affecting his own offense, although his height is not dominant, his strong body is enough for Jefferson to squeeze away Diop to grab a favorable position. This guy just turned around and went hard.

Completely ignoring the interference of the opponent behind him, relying on his physique to overwhelm his opponent. Jefferson's foot movement also took advantage of Diop's position, and his movement speed far exceeded that of his opponent.

Turning around and making a low hand, Jefferson's pick-up action has already left Diop behind. The score just recovered is about to be opened again by this shot.

But before Jefferson's raised hand had time to put the basketball firmly into the basket, a big hand cut it sideways, and just as Jefferson was in a daze, he slapped the basketball away.

Terry, who was waiting for an opportunity, didn't let the basketball roll out of the sideline. The glider-like guy picked up the basketball that was shot and flew towards the Celtics' half court.

Rondo is probably the one with the fastest reaction. He followed Terry's footsteps and started almost at the same time, but he could barely block the opponent's cutting route, but he couldn't stop the opponent's sprint.

Terry was like a headless fly, he just focused on the inside and went to the basket, as if he didn't pay attention to Rondo's interception at all.

"Stop him!", Rivers almost yelled from the sidelines, but before he could actually yell out the words, he saw Terry flying into the air against Rondo.

But Terry didn't hold the basketball high and smash it at Rondo hard. The moment he rose into the air, he took the basketball behind him first, which was a direct back pass without looking at people.

littering?If this is true, then hell, Terry's pass passed Rondo's defense, and the entire Celtics stood under the basket with a big blond man wearing a No. 41 uniform.

The perfect pass, the exact timing of the cut, Nowitzki grabbed the basketball and directly dunked with both hands, and the trembling basket all showed the ferocity of this guy just now.

At this time, Chen Feng, who had just caught up to one step inside the three-point line, frowned slightly when he saw the German guy who had just landed.
