Chapter 567 The Team Most Likely to Collapse

"If we can't limit Dirk's offense, we will lose this game." Casey said, "I believe you want to win, so we have to do more things."

Everyone listened to his arrangement quietly, and Casey continued: "Dirk's shooting has no dead ends, and this must be made clear, so when defending, confrontation is the first priority, and don't think about forcing him to a place with a relatively low shooting percentage." No matter where it is, let’s fight first.”

Bai Jidong fully agrees with this arrangement. Judging from Nowitzki's performance tonight, no matter where he takes the shot, he is sure to hit it.Instead of letting him shoot dead, it is better to make it difficult for him to shoot.

Giving confrontation is the correct approach, no matter how good the touch is, it will be disrupted by strong confrontation.

The role of the coach can only be reflected at critical moments. Although Casey has the same problem as Sanders (slow adaptability), he can see the problem very clearly.

Throughout the third quarter, Nowitzki felt nothing.

In the second stanza he dances in heaven, in the third stanza he howls in hell.

Timberwolves' defense played an effect, Nowitzki hit the iron frequently, without the bravery of the second quarter.

Everyone thought he could score 50 points, but now after the third quarter, he only scored 31 points, and his shooting percentage dropped from an astonishing 80% to below 50%.

Then came the decisive moment. Nowitzki was reprimanded by the general and no longer insisted on shooting. He is not a player who cannot score without feeling.

The Timberwolves broke the situation first, and Bai Weidong broke through with the ball and scored the Timberwolves' first goal in the last quarter.

"Prevent them!"

After this goal was scored, the Timberwolves led the Mavericks by 2 points.

"If Dirk can't get back the feel of the first half, the situation is very bad for Dallas." Walton said.

There is nothing wrong with this statement. Although the Mavericks have dense firepower, only one person can really change the trend of the game.

Facing a strong enemy like the Timberwolves, if Nowitzki can't maintain a high level of performance throughout the game, it will be difficult to win the game.

Bai Jidong defended Howard to death. So far, he has only scored 2 points, "If I were you, I would pass the ball."

Howard really wants to pass the ball, even if he is ridiculed by Bai Jidong. Now is a matter of life and death, not the time to be individualistic. If he puts the entire team in danger out of personal pride, he will feel ashamed and uneasy.

Nowitzki caught the ball from the outside again, and Garnett's eyes shot out like bullets, shooting at his body.

Nowitzki grabbed the ball with both hands and put it on the left side of his abdomen, bent slightly, and before starting, there was a small shaking motion in his hands.

Garnett's speed was a little slower than him, and he followed up with effort.Nowitzki was already going to the hinterland, jumped up in two steps, and scored against the defense.

"Damn it!"

Garnett was furious. In the conversation with Nowitzki tonight, he fell into a disadvantage in all aspects.

Bai Jidong can understand Garnett's difficulties.

Nowitzki is not easy to defend.It is really difficult to defend, shooting without dead ends, and can attack from any position with the ball.

A [-]th position with the offensive means of the [-]nd position, even if Garnett's footsteps keep up, but he enters the offensive area with two steps, so what if he is followed?
This is the advantage brought by talent. The taller the person, the poorer the coordination, but Nowitzki can.

Bai Jidong doesn't know how he practiced. This person seems to have average physical fitness, his overall athletic ability seems mediocre, and his physical coordination is not particularly amazing. How did he develop such a shocking ability? ?
Some people say that Nowitzki is Larry Bird who has grown taller. Bai Jidong has never seen Bird play.Even Bird back then, I'm afraid it's nothing more than that, right?
"How does Dirk usually train?" Bai Jidong wanted to inquire about some information.

Howard didn't want to talk to him, Bai Jidong smiled and said, "Do you want to hear me talk trash, or introduce me to Dirk's training methods?"

How could Howard reveal Nowitzki's biggest secret because of Bai Jidong's trash talk?So he revealed Nowitzki's training secret: "Nothing special, just do some balance training, which is the most important thing."

"That's a good point. To reward you, I'll draw a foul on you, maybe a three-pointer."

Bai Jidong started to attack from outside the three-point line, but did not give Howard too many chances to react. With a back rush, the pressure on Howard was extremely strong.

No matter how hard he tried, the result would not change. Howard had already tried his best, but Bai Jidong's attack was really unstoppable.

Bai Jidong pushed Howard away, turned around and shot towards the basket.

Howard raised his hand and touched Bai Jidong's arm, the referee immediately blew his whistle and gave him a thug foul.

Bai Weidong's toss shot wiped the board and went into the basket, scoring effectively.Howard can't describe his inner feelings, it's simply embarrassing.

"You defended very hard, keep going." Bai Jidong encouraged.

The last thing Howard wants to hear now is Bai Jidong's voice: "Sorry, I tried my best."

Terry slapped him hard on the back. "I know, but can you stop putting on that 'Oh my God, white wolf can get in here' look? You're demoralizing us."

Howard smiled uglier than crying: "I really can't do anything about him."

Terry said: "You have to trust Dirk, even if the white wolf is open, with Dirk around, we will not lose."

Howard didn't think so, but he didn't say so.It may be the reason why he has been playing against Bai Jidong all the time. He knows Bai Jidong's strength better than other Mavericks players.

Howard had never seen that burst of energy in an instant.

When he ran to the frontcourt, Bai Jidong smiled at him and said, "Howard Josh, did you complain to your teammates just now? Don't worry, the game is coming to an end, and you will regretfully lose."

Howard said calmly: "I believe Dirk will lead us to victory."

"Did you know? Because of Dirk's existence, you guys will become the team that is most likely to collapse in the league." Bai Jidong uttered nonsense.

How could Howard listen to his nonsense, shook his head violently and said: "Do you think I will listen to your nonsense? I won't believe a word."

Bai Jidong spread his hands, "I have fought with you so many times, and I definitely know you better than you."

"Don't forget, in the past two years, who beat you to nowhere in the playoffs."

Howard remained silent, maybe Bai Jidong was right, but how could he believe it?
He would rather believe that the team collapsed due to immaturity, and he would never accept the words "Because of Dirk, you are the team that is most likely to collapse in the league".

The Mavericks' offensive arrow is still Dirk Nowitzki, and Garnett tried his best to finally defend him once.

Nowitzki turned around and slid to the bottom line. Although his idea was good, if his opponent hadn't been relieved and prepared in advance, there was nothing he could do.

Nowitzki turned to the baseline and found that there was no way to go. Garnett stuck his position and hurried the ball out of the baseline.

When Howard got the ball, his mind went blank. He didn't know what to do, and his body habitually picked up the ball and shot.

Bai Weidong's fingers touched his ball, so that his shot only slightly touched the basket and bounced outside.

Bai Jidong took the rebound and said to Howard, "Good shot, thank you for giving up the ball."

Spanoulis advanced to the frontcourt, facing Harris head-on.

The styles of the two are very similar, they are both strong offensively and weak defensively, and like to use their personal ability to tear apart the opponent's defense and create opportunities for teammates.

Spanoulis is better than Harris in his ability to control the field. He is better at dispatching teammates on the field than Harris, and he has better ball awareness.

Garnett ran up to set Spanoulis on the pick-and-roll. Harris' body was tripped by Garnett and slowed down. Spanoulis took this opportunity to drive into the center of the Mavericks and smash the ball outside.

Bai Jidong took it, grabbed the ball with his left hand, and took a step forward with his right foot. Three threats knocked Howard away, and then he shot a three-pointer.

When he made the shot, the confidence he radiated made Howard believe that the goal would be scored.

"The White Wolf hits again! The Timberwolves lead by 5 points!"

Walton exclaimed: "This may be a turning point in the game. Dallas' shooting percentage has dropped, but Minnesota has played a wave of climax under the leadership of the White Wolf. This can often be seen in the past few years. I hope Dallas can withstand it. Pressure, hold the game. But I also want to see Minnesota play a good offense and defense, and bury Dallas here."

Albert commented many Timberwolves games. He could see that the Timberwolves were gaining momentum. If no one from the Mavericks stood up to contain this momentum, the Timberwolves' offense would become more and more fierce. Then disappeared.

This is what the Timberwolves have done the most in the past three years, using the strong offensive and defensive dominance of the two cores inside and outside to take away the game in one go.

Avery Johnson realized the seriousness of the matter and called a timeout first. Whether it was adjustments or disrupting the Timberwolves' rhythm, this timeout was very necessary.

Players from both sides left the field, Casey was talking nonsense, everyone knew how the game should be played. (White Wolf tells you to fight as you please)
"Hold on! Hold on! Don't be intimidated by their momentum! Show your nerve! Don't forget, we're here to prove to Minnesota that we're going to destabilize them this year, and we need you To work together, not only must you have strong strength, but you must also have a strong and unwavering belief!" The little general actually poured chicken soup.

Facts have proved that although chicken soup is good, don't be greedy.
