Chapter 167 Iron Forest!
Pat Riley glanced at Old Nelson on the opposite side.

Old Nelson smiled brightly.

"Difficult old guy!"

Riley was MMP in his heart, but he also smiled back on his face.

Without hesitation, Riley immediately replaced Damon with the old Jones.

Wade returned to the No. [-] position, staring at Harris specifically.

The Heat attack.

O'Neal holds the ball in the low post.

Dampier jumped up directly.

He has great strength, his bench press data is second only to Big Ben and O'Neal among active players, and his low-post defensive ability is quite outstanding.

Bang!
O'Neill exerted all his strength and pushed back, and the sound of huge muscle collision was clearly audible.

Dampier retreated a little, but was still firmly between O'Neal and the basket.

"Tough guy!"

O'Neill thought to himself.

Dampier is an enhanced version of Haywood, 29 years old at the peak of a blue-collar player.

Because they were both in the West before, O'Neal is actually very familiar with Dampier.

He didn't take Dampier hard.

Shaking his body continuously, O'Neal suddenly turned around and took a jumper.

Dampier's lower body gave enough resistance, and his upper body relied on his long arms to interfere, doing his best to hinder O'Neal's shooting.

Bang!

O'Neal's first shot.

No.

Dampier turned around and received the rebound.

Old Nelson smiled with satisfaction.

Guard against O'Neill, it doesn't exist.But there are always some people in this league who can limit O'Neal, especially the 33-year-old O'Neal.

Dampier is definitely one of them.

Harris received Dampier's pass, directly increased the speed to fifth gear, and organized a defensive counterattack at full speed.

Wade got entangled for the first time.

Harris points the ball to Daniels.

Daniels is also very fast, slapping his horse to the frontcourt.

At this moment, a figure chased after him.

Heat's No. 15 player, Li Lei.

Li Lei stretched out his two sky-defying long arms, blocking Daniels' shooting space.

Daniels flicked around in the air, but still managed to make a shot.

Bang!

The ball was too difficult, and it bounced off the edge of the basket.

At this moment, a big player rushed over, caught the basketball, and made a dunk.

Nowitzki!

boom!
4: 0.

The young Nowitzki is also a good player who likes to play fast breaks. After all, his coach is the old Nelson.

The teams he coached were good at the fast break.

The Heat attack.

O'Neal's singles or none.

But he grabbed the offensive rebound, pressed Dampier, and smashed the ball into the basket.

boom!
4: 2.

O'Neal scored, but Riley couldn't laugh.

If the calculation is correct, O'Neal has already missed 2 shots. The Sharks don't feel very good today.

Riley stopped Wade on the sidelines and let Wade take on more offensive tasks today.

The Heat won, but the Mavericks' quick counterattack couldn't come out.

The Cowboys can only be forced to drop positions.

Harris and Daniels tried repeatedly to break through, but they were strangled to death by the Heat's outside trio.

The ball still went to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki recruited Howard for the pick-and-roll.

Li Lei pushed Haslem, and the two decisively switched defenses.

Against a big shooter like Nowitzki, as long as you switch defenses slowly, you will get points.

Li Lei arrived in time, stretched his long arms, and interfered enough.

Nowitzki's shot did not.

Bang!

In the early years, Nowitzki mainly played face-to-face, and the offensive end was very afraid of the confrontation and oppression of the defender.

O'Neal receives the rebound.

Give Wade the fast break, and force a layup against Harris.

4: 4.

Old Nelson stood up and yelled at the field: "Back up! Back up! Put your damn feet up and run faster!"

Do you think Nelson's team doesn't defend?
That's impossible, it's just that he pays more attention to offense.

The Mavericks attack.

Nowitzki continued to do pick-and-rolls with his teammates. This time, in order to avoid Li Lei, he did not call Howard.

Instead, Harris was called.

With Wade's height, even if he switches defenses with Haslem, he can't interfere with Nowitzki.

This is Nowitzki's ability to read the game.

He plays smart.

But he had just cooperated with Harris, and Li Lei had already leaned over.

As soon as the two separated, Li Lei blocked Nowitzki.

Nowitzki didn't attack hard either, and gave the ball to Howard who was open.

Howard adjusted and shot outside the three-point line.

Bang!

The Dallas Double Ugly has the same problem, and the early three-pointers are all weak points.

The Heat received the backcourt rebound and played a fast break.

The Mavericks retreated very quickly this time around.

The Heat's fast break was fruitless and they could only drop their positions.

Li Lei also brought it up and set up a pick-and-roll for Wade.

Wade got rid of Harris and went straight to the basket.

Nowitzki wanted to make up the defense, but was blocked by Haslem's tendons.

Wade confronts Dampier.

Wade did not retreat but advanced, directly into the air.

Dampier jumped up too.

Drip!

Wade caused Dampier's thug foul.

If you want to say that the peak Dampier is not good, it is that he can't control fouls and is often troubled by fouls.

Wade got two free throw opportunities, all hit.

4: 6.

The Heat scored 6 points in a row, took the lead, and gradually took the initiative.

The Mavericks attack.

Nowitzki's shot still missed, and he missed three consecutive rounds.

In turn, Wade reached the restricted area.

Dampier rushed forward to make up the defense, but considering the foul problem, his make-up defense was not fierce enough.

Wade seized the opportunity and threw the ball into the basket.

4: 8.

The American Airlines Center is heating up.

The Heat are on the move!
Old Nelson reacted quickly and called a timeout in time.

Pause back.

Howard broke through with the ball and got rid of Li Lei with the cover of Nowitzki.

Howard entered the penalty area, facing the league's No.1 Sharks supplementary defense, Howard shot resolutely.

Bang!

Unfortunately, no.

But Howard attracted O'Neill's attention and created opportunities for Dampier.

Dampier grabbed the offensive rebound and slammed into the basket.

boom!
6: 8.

The Mavs started scoring again.

Here I have to talk about Josh Howard. Although he is only a sophomore, he is the most responsible player in the Mavericks.

In the case of Nowitzki's poor hand, this guy stood up.

The last rookie in the first round in 03, he is underrated.

He was born with deformed legs. He broke his legs at 5 months old and fixed them again. At 9 months, he had surgery on his thigh and started over.

He was abandoned by his father when he was a baby.

It was the suffering of childhood that gave him a strong heart.

As Duncan's younger brother, Howard followed in Duncan's footsteps, studied in college for four years, and beat Wade in 03, and was named the best college player in 2003 by "Basketball Digest".

This season, Howard is only Nelson's fourth choice. The top three are Finley, Stackhouse and Daniels.

But Howard didn't complain or argue, he just silently did what the coach arranged and defended desperately.

Finally, Finley and Stackhouse were injured one after another, Howard took the position of starting small forward, and got the approval of Nelson.

At this critical moment, Howard also stood up.

The Heat attack.

Daniels stood in front of Wade.

Daniels is another inspirational story, the undrafted version.

Not much to say here.

You just need to know that his defense is harder than Howard's.

Then, Daniels caused Wade's pass error.

The Mavericks took the opportunity to fast break and Nowitzki scored 2 points.

8:8 level.

The two teams were tied again.

Subsequently, Wade rushed inside to attract the defense, gave the ball to Old Jones, and hit a three-pointer.

8: 11.

Howard quickly retaliated. He broke through and scored the ball to help Nowitzki score an answerball!

11: 11.

It's flat again.

In the first quarter of the game, the two sides played very anxiously, and it was almost a tie.

The players on the field kept fighting, and the two famous coaches on the sidelines kept sending troops to play against each other.

At this moment, the game reached an inflection point.

The Heat attack.

Wade played hard under Daniels' high-pressure defense.

Li Lei came over to cover.

Wade took the opportunity to get rid of Daniels, rushed to the basket in one go.

Bang!
But he bumped into someone.

Devin Harris.

Drip!

The referee's whistle blew immediately.

Hit someone with the ball!

And this was Wade's second foul in the first quarter.

Wade got into foul trouble and had to end.

Less than halfway through the first quarter, the Heat lost Wade.

The scene was restless, and the Miami fans were very disturbed.

Mavericks coach Don Nelson smiled and looked across at Pat Riley.

Riley looked ugly and pointed to Kenyon Dooling.

"Kenyon, get ready to play!"

The game continues.

Harris broke through, and Dooling desperately followed, blocking Harris.

Riley breathed a sigh of relief, Durin's defense was okay.

But on the offensive end, Dooling got a pass from O'Neal and made an open shot from beyond the three-point line.

Bang!

No.

Dooling made 17.4 percent of his 25.3-pointers last season and [-] percent so far this season.

Tielin!
