Chapter 201 The Influence of "Ticket King"

Dirk Nowitzki was fighting against Lin Ri panting heavily at the moment.

Although he doesn't have to fight with Lin Ri on the defensive end, he needs to block the ball to catch the ball. This requires him to fight hard, but facing Lin Ri, the "German Chariot" also has to say "Punching is afraid of being young"!
If I were 5 years younger, would I be afraid of him?

It's a pity, he can't be 5 years younger...

But he knew very well that if this game ended like this, he might face another round of arguments after the game, and the label of "soft guy" on him would be put on his head again.

To be honest, this is not the result Nowitzki would like to see.

He's been wearing the "softie" hat for too long, and he needs to change it!
But wanting to change is not something that can be easily done... After all, his image is indeed a bit too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If he really wants to change, he must perform well in a tough battle.

Just like this game now.

Lin Ri is the hottest player right now, a phenomenal rookie!

And the Suns currently rank first in the Western Conference...

This game is hard enough!
Before the start of this game, he thought about performing well in this game!
But, after thinking about it, the current state of the Suns and Lin Ri is much better than Nowitzki's performance when they played against them last time!

Nowitzki never imagined that the current Suns would be so difficult to deal with!

He just had the idea of ​​wanting to fight a beautiful turnaround, but he couldn't do anything...

"beep!"

The third quarter ended with Nowitzki gritted his teeth, and the Suns entered the fourth quarter with a 15-point lead.

Gentry looked at the atmosphere of the scene, as well as the widening point difference, and asked the substitute players to play for a while at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

It's not that he's already planning to use the substitute lineup to waste time. In the NBA, there is an unwritten rule that if the lagging team does not replace the main players first, then the leading team cannot replace the main players on a large scale. This is a kind of respect.

And Gentry doesn't think that a 15-point lead can enter garbage time. This should have been possible five years ago, but in this league where the offensive rhythm is getting faster and faster, any team can't score 5 points in a game. It's embarrassing to go out to meet people.

In the same way, once the laggard has a smooth hand, it will take minutes to catch up with the 15-point difference!

The more critical reason why Gentry did this is because of this, or for the main players of the team to have enough rest time, and then go on the court to give a fatal blow!
This is the most critical reason!
Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle also seemed to see Gentry's idea, and he replaced the Mavericks' main lineup in advance.

Needless to say, this trick is really useful.

They took advantage of the 2 minutes when the Suns' main players did not play for a long time, and they narrowed the point difference to 8 points.

This is a point difference that can instantly tie the point difference to a safe range with a small climax, especially when there are nearly 8 minutes left in the game, it is a point difference that can make people see hope!

At this time, Gentry also noticed that the whole atmosphere of the Mavericks was starting to pick up, and immediately brought the main lineup back on the field.

Although the ferocity of the Mavericks was a bit beyond his expectations, his goal was achieved-the Suns' main lineup rested for a long enough time, and when they were on the court, it was obvious that an individual could be full.

"Okay, for the Mavericks, the most difficult time has come!"

The commentator Reggie Miller followed up at the right time.

Just now the Mavericks had a good scoring climax, but in his opinion, for the Mavericks, that can only be regarded as delaying their pace of death. Only now, after stopping this wave of offensive after the main force of the Suns come back, can they truly have the possibility of winning!
This is the conclusion reached by Reggie Miller as a veteran who has played in the league for n years.

Facts have proved that he has no problem with his judgment of the situation.

Because when the main players of the Suns came on the court, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle's expression suddenly became serious.

He is very clear that whether the Mavericks can complete the comeback will be concluded in the next 3 to 4 minutes.

So he really can't help but be serious!

Although the Suns made a substitution, the offense after the "dead" ball belonged to the Mavericks.

Nowitzki played very easily when Lin Day was not on the court.

When the opponent is not Lin Ri, his excellent off-ball running ability on the court is perfectly displayed.

Thinking about it, I have been playing in this league for so long, and I still don't have any practical tips to save effort on the field and get rid of opponents?

In fact, as long as the opponent is not Lin Ri, then Nowitzki has a way to save effort on the court to catch the ball...

And the reason why these skills are ineffective against Lin Ri, um...Nowitzki thought for a long time and came up with the answer. The fourth position is facing a guy with good physical fitness, golf intelligence, and high key enthusiasm.

However, although Nowitzki lived under the shadow of Lin Ri's defense in the first three quarters, after Lin Ri played this time, he did not change his current style of play, and still actively received the ball.

This time, though, he's catching the ball from beyond the three-point line...

Well, I admit that I can't compete with you in the low post, but with such a wide space outside the three-point line, you can't stop me after all, right?

This is a solution that Nowitzki thought for a long time after Lin Ri left the field.

It's not that he can't think of such a move, but Nowitzki is reluctant to give up the low position...

Of course, in this situation, he wanted to be willing to part with it, otherwise, this game might just be explained like this.

Nowitzki is very clear that what the team wants now is for him to stand up!

Nowitzki is not wrong in his judgment. Lin Ri's defensive ability is strong. No matter from which aspect, he has the potential to become the absolute core of a team's defense in the future. He is the kind of guy who can compete for the best defensive player.

But even for such a guy, he is still a big man. It is impossible to close Nowitzki like an isolated island outside the three-point line!
Nowitzki successfully received the ball from beyond the three-point line.

The moment he got the ball, Nowitzki couldn't help crying.

Think about it, this is one of the few times in this game so far that he can get the ball so easily.

Do you have to force me beyond the three-point line to get the ball!

Ah!
Nowitzki wanted to ask such a question.

But he didn't dare to ask.

In other words, there was no time to waste talking with Lin Ri.

Whenever he wasted even a second, Lin Rike would pounce on him.

He chose to shoot directly.

"Shh!"

The ball made a perfect arc and fell straight into the hoop.

yes!

Nowitzki clenched his fist hard.

When the main players of the Suns just came on the court, hitting such a three-pointer can definitely cause some blows to the opponent's momentum.

His three-pointer is really important.

And the point difference is only the last 5 points!

Well done, well done!
Nowitzki clenched his fists and walked back.

His teammates also gave him high fives one by one.

Their momentum has risen a lot.

This also makes Nowitzki feel even more that he has hit a key goal.

"Bah!"

only……

The Suns completed a successful fast break after 7 seconds. Steve Nash and Lin Ri played a perfect cooperation.

There was a burst of cheers from the dull scene just now.

Nowitzki suddenly felt that the three-pointer he just made didn't seem that important... because the opponent's offense was not affected at all!
On the contrary, after the Mavericks dunked, the whole atmosphere became a little depressed.

"Hey, the sun, I want to ask, just now, did Dampier hit your hand!"

Lin Ri completed the heavy dunk, and amid the cheers of the audience, he began to return to defense, but at the same time as he passed halftime, the fat referee who had been standing near the center line walked up to him and whispered something to him.

"No." Lin Ri shook his head.

Just now that dunk, Dampier was directly blocked by him, and there was no chance of touching his hand.

"OK, thank you, the sun, my position is misaligned, from my side, it seems that he hit your hand, but I'm not sure."

"However, the sun, I believe in you, the answer you give me can affect my results! You are a great guy!"

???

!!!

Hastily!
Listening to what the referee said, Lin Ri immediately regretted that he said "no", he should have said yes!
At such a critical moment, it is a point to be able to cheat a point!

Hey!
Still too young!

Lin Ri regretted it a little.

But he really didn't expect that his influence is so great now, so big that he can make referees become "fans"!
This, this, you say... how can this not make me feel proud!
No, no, I can't be proud!

"Ah!"

At the same time, Christine, who had just gotten up after lying down all day, sneezed inexplicably, and then a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his mind.

No, I have to get Agali back quickly!
Christine sent a message to Agali. She had never been so eager for Agali to come back.

The referee's inquiry about Lin Ri did not affect the progress of the game.

After the referee asked, the Mavericks had just dribbled the ball for half court.

Jason Kidd continued to give the ball to Nowitzki, who stepped out from beyond the three-point line to catch the ball.

However, this time, Nowitzki didn't dare to make a direct shot. He just wanted to give the Suns a bad shot. As far as he was concerned, he didn't think that he would definitely score the goal just now. He had a gamble, but he won the bet.

It's just that the Suns also scored in the next attack. What he really wanted to say about the three-pointer just now meant that it didn't have any impact, and the opponent's overall momentum was still so fierce.

Then the Mavericks will have to play steadily and score every goal.

Every shot missed now could be the one that caused them to lose!
After observing the formation of the Suns, Nowitzki chose a way to cut in from the right.

Lin Ri resisted immediately, but failed to stop Nowitzki.

The breakthrough of the "German tank" is like a classic car driving on a muddy road. Although it is rickety and stumbles, he can just keep going on this road.

"Dangdang!"

Until he finally rushed to the basket, Lin Ri couldn't stop him. It's a pity that Nowitzki's last shot was a bit too big, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Lin Ri grabbed the ball in his hand.

Essie!

Nowitzki made a thumping action to vent his depression.

Fortunately, it's not completely fruitless, at least now Nowitzki knows that Lin Ri may choose to break through in front of him.

It is the last shot, so be steady!
Nowitzki said so in his heart.

In the next attack, he was obviously ready to continue the attack.

It's just that before he attacked again, he encountered a bad news.

The Suns scored another goal against them!
It's only 9 minutes away.

And this time, the pressure on Nowitzki's shoulders is even greater.

Because if he can't score in the next attack, then the main force of the Suns has not missed a shot since they came on the field, and it is bound to expand the point difference to 11 points!

The score difference is really 11 points. With the remaining few minutes, the game may be over!

Therefore, Nowitzki's attack is under a lot of pressure!

But he also knows that he can't retire... This is the responsibility he must have as the leader of the Mavericks!

Or get the ball outside the three-point line.

Lin Ri came to him at the first time. Nowitzki carefully observed Lin Ri's defense and found that this guy did not change his defensive posture, but chose to prevent him from shooting.

This also made Nowitzki determined to continue the breakthrough just now.

Still on the right, Nowitzki went directly towards Lin Ri.

Lin Ri didn't hide, and blocked him immediately.

Well, the next thing to do is to pay attention to the strength of the shot!
Nowitzki felt that the ball had been stabilized!

But just as he and Lin Ri were squeezing each other into the free throw line, Humphries next to him came over at this time.

This is actually a double team!
This is so special!

Nowitzki didn't expect the Suns to change their defensive style, and he was stunned for a moment, but after more than ten years of basketball career here, he quickly turned around and prepared to give the ball to Jason Kidd.

But as soon as he turned around and found Jason Kidd's position, and just when he raised his hand holding the ball, Steve Nash's face suddenly flashed in front of him, and he just took the ball away from his hand...
