The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 205 This sun is really poisonous!
Both sides warmed up at one end of the pitch.

Kidd did not appear on the court. He strained his calf in the game against the Jazz three days ago.

Optimistic estimates will be out for at least a week...

Strange to say, the 38-year-old monster is basically walking and playing this season, trying not to participate in the offense and not working hard in defense.

Just being so careful, he got injured in the first 2 minutes.

Still let people not walk?

The concerned media is already joking:
You see, we were right, Kidd is missing!

Nowitzki was actually very resistant, and he also wanted to take the pick...

Missed 4 games because of knee soreness.

Kidd wasn't there when he played against the Spurs yesterday, so poor Dirk had no choice but to come back from the line of fire, and ended up exhausted.

A little listless today, just turning the ball on the sidelines to relieve boredom.

Yesterday's game was quite weird. The Mavericks maintained a lead of about 3 points in the first three quarters, but in the opening three minutes of the fourth quarter, the Spurs played a wave of 14:2, bringing the two sides back to the starting point.

After that, they began to take the lead alternately, and there was no winner until the end of regular time.

After an overtime, they still led alternately by one point.

It wasn't until the last 0.3 seconds that Danny Green hit the iron with a three-pointer, and the Mavericks passed the danger. It really killed me!

Looking at the time, it seemed that the Mavericks had won.

But the Spurs played more reasonably. There were 11 players on the team, and 10 of them played more than 20 minutes. None of them, including Parker, Duncan and Leonard, played more than 30 minutes. This is the data of overtime!

The Mavericks side was more tragic. The starting five tigers all played more than 36 minutes, and Nowitzki, who didn't know he was recovering from his injury, played 38 minutes, the highest playing time of the team...

In the long run, the Mavericks are simply not worth the candle!

Nowitzki's injury was obviously not healed. Although he played 38 minutes, he was quite resistant to physical contact. He didn't make a free throw and only took 14 shots, the lowest among the starting five!
Moreover, the efficiency is not high, 14 of 5 shots and 3 of 0 three-pointers.

This kind of thing is completely impossible to happen in the Suns, or even in the Spurs. It's just a regular season. As for the core adventure comeback?
Unfortunately, Erwa did just that!

He was sitting on the sidelines, beating his chest full of silicone, blushing and cheering Nowitzki with a thick neck, more crazy than real fans...

I don't know if he is Enovsky?

Still, hate him!
Tu Man didn't warm up too much. Seeing Nowitzki spinning the ball boringly by himself, he strolled over to say hello:

"Hey Dirk, are you feeling better?"

Nowitzki is an honest person, and he didn't evade tactically. He said sullenly:

"It's still a little sore, maybe I was too tired yesterday..."

Tu Man was taken aback:
"The injury is not healed, and you still come to play away games, are you crazy?"

Nowitzki smiled self-deprecatingly:

"The team's record is not good, and Mark is not satisfied. He said that he didn't play like the defending champion, and it can only be due to minor injuries."

Tu Man said angrily:

"How is the team's record? He doesn't have any clues in his heart. If he didn't break up the championship lineup, why did you win so few games?"

Novus sighed and said helplessly:
"That's not something we worry about. After taking other people's wages, can't we work hard?"

Tu Man shook his head, put his arms around his neck and said:
"Dirk, you are too honest. You Germans have always suffered from the Yankees. You have suffered from the Yankees for half a century, and you haven't learned yet?"

Nowitzki blinked:
"What did you say?"

Tu Man laughed and said:

"You know, don't look at Cuban's desire to beg you now, if you are seriously injured, he will not be merciful at all when he betrays you!"

Nowitzki pouted and said:

"I'm not seriously hurt!"

Tu Man was happy.

"It's not too heavy, try jumping twice, you forgot the shoelaces nine years ago?"

Nowitzki laughed, a little shy:
"Do you remember?"

In 2003, Nowitzki suffered a serious foot injury, but under the care of his mentor Holger, he gradually improved and was ready to play the next day.

After tying the shoelaces once, I wanted to try the feeling of my feet, so I stomped on the ground.

As a result, the foot injury recurred, which led to damage to the knee and missed more than ten games.

Tu Man said again:

"When the injury is about to recover, the body is the most vulnerable, especially for a big man like us. A slight movement can lead to serious consequences."

Nowitzki looked serious:

"Isn't it?"

Tu Man patiently persuaded him:

"Think about Greg Oden, such a good talent, it is said that he is better than me, is it ruined because of the rush to come back?"

Nowitzki's face became more serious, and Tu Man said again:
"Think about Yao Ming. When he was injured last season, the team doctor concluded that he was sprained, and he could play after a week of rest. In fact, he suffered a stress fracture. If he came back to play like you, he will be able to play again this season. Can you still see Yao Ming?"

Nowitzki was about to speak, but Tu Man snatched another sentence:
"Think about it again, if you continue to play this game, you will be facing my defense. If I am not careful, if I don't pay attention, I can't hold back and give you a shot..."

Nowitzki's face completely collapsed, he put down the brutality, and walked directly to Rick Carlisle.

Tu Man didn't follow, but he faintly heard:

"Coach, my knee hurts..."

Tu Man returned to the coach and hugged Gentry to claim credit:
"Coach, praise me!"

Gentry was at a loss, but since Tuman is always great, he boasted perfunctorily:
"You are awesome, you are the best in the world!"

Tu Man was taken aback:
"Coach, have you gone to kindergarten?"

Gentry laughed:
"Then you have to let me know, what have you done, let me praise you again?"

Tu Man glanced at Carlisle, who was covering his face and sighing, and said proudly:

"I've guarded Nowitzki!"

Gentry said subconsciously:

"Good job!"

Then I realized that the game hadn't started yet!

Glared at him:
"Nonsense, the game hasn't started yet, how did you defend him?"

Tu Man sullenly looked up at the sky:

"Sun Tzu said in the Art of War that if you subdue the enemy's army without fighting, you will be good!"

Gentry slapped his palm and said angrily:

"speak English!"

Tu Man was unprepared, and took a knife firmly, and said aggrievedly:
"I persuaded him to quit, but he didn't fight."

Gentry stared wide-eyed:
"What did you say?"

Those who are riding horses really made the group of reporters hit the mark. Does the sun really have a halo of bad luck?
At the start of the game, the Mavericks did temporarily change the starting lineup:

Point Guard: Rodrigo Beaubois
Shooting guard: Vince Carter

Small Forward: Shawn Marion

Power Forward: Lamar Odom
Center: Brandon Haywood

What about the Germans?

It was still there just now, why is it gone?
Then news broke:
Nowitzki's knee soreness "intensified" before the game, he will not play, he is lying in the locker room receiving physical therapy...

Hearing this news, almost everyone had the same reaction:
This sun is really poisonous!
