I'm king in the basket

Chapter 252 Basketball is never limited to talent

Since the beginning of the millennium, if you want to find the best supporting actor in the NBA, Dirk Nowitzki is definitely well-deserved.

Nowitzki's style of play is not popular, fans don't like seven-footers running outside to shoot jumpers, so regardless of health or disease, regardless of poverty or wealth, let alone any highs or lows, Germany Chariots are always unshakable All-Star substitutes, and they make up the number to play supporting roles for Kobe and James. What's more sad is that the All-Stars are just a microcosm of the life of their supporting roles.

A power forward who was in the same era as Duncan is destined to have a bad end. He is a player destined to be the leader of the power forward position.

Those who lead the way usually leave their peers far behind, so Webber, Wallace, and Garnett also, these people have a gorgeous style of play and strong physical fitness, but they have not really defeated Duncan.

In contrast, Nowitzki showed tenacious vitality in the struggle against Duncan, and the Mavericks and Spurs are also the two teams with the best average scores in the past decade.However, the comments about the two of them are quite different.

In fact, the biggest difference is that when the Mavericks defeated the Spurs, they encountered Miami Vice, but after the Spurs defeated the Mavericks, they went straight to the championship. There is no way, the damn ring makes Dirk always a supporting role in front of Duncan.

It is not bad to play a supporting role for the best power forward in history like Duncan, but it is even worse to play a supporting role for a rising star like Wade who was only in the third grade at that time. In the end, it became a legendary footnote.

Taking a step back, losing to Wade is fine, he will be one of the top five shooting guards in history in the future, not an unknown junior, but...
Warriors, Hornets, Nuggets. These teams are only likely to beat the stable Mavericks in certain years.Unfortunately, Nowitzki can always grasp the right time to achieve these impetuous rising stars. The miracle of the Black Eight in 07 made him the most embarrassing regular season MVP in history.

Old Nelson single-handedly made Nowitzki, and then destroyed him crazily; the Hornets only had a little special strength in 08. They returned to the playoffs and the first one to sacrifice the flag was the Mavericks. Looking at Paul With an acceleration, he got rid of the old Kidd, and Dirk could only look up to the sky and sigh; in the face of the crazy Nuggets in 09, Dirk's wish was not to sweep away.

Maybe it’s because rare things are more expensive. Most NBA players are thick-backed and have amazing explosive power, so that fans are eager for a few excellent softies to relieve visual fatigue. Or a big man who is good at outside shooting is classified as a softie.

So many failures, and the almost indelible reputation of the soft-ass, Nowitzki is walking on eggshells.

He's running out of chances, and this season may be the closest he's come to an O'Brien Cup.

Nowitzki's mind wandered skyward as the game moved in admirable direction in the first half and third quarter.

After three quarters, the Mavericks trailed by 19 points.

They don't look like they have the slightest chance.

The young Raptors didn't know how to suppress the joy in his heart, his happiness was beyond words, and as for their opponents, they didn't seem to admit defeat.

Li Xing looked at Nowitzki, he thought the other party was desperate.

Strange, why is the fire getting stronger and stronger?

Judging whether the berserk state has been strengthened depends on the flames surrounding the berserk state.

After the sluggishness in the second and third quarters, his state did not disappear.

No, not only did it not disappear, it seemed to be stronger than before.

Li Xing didn't know what stimulated Nowitzki. This situation was abnormal, but he didn't have time to think about it.

"Lucky, do you want to come down and rest for a while?"

The team led by a big score, and replacing the main players to rest is what every corner would do, but Li Xing saw that Nowitzki was about to break out, so he refused.

"No, I feel something is wrong with Dirk, let me continue to fight." Li Xing said.

Something is wrong?
Snyder watched three quarters of the game and saw nothing wrong with Nowitzki.

Li Xing didn't rest from the middle of the second quarter to the end of the third quarter, and Snyder was very worried about his physical strength.

"But you've been playing for 6 straight minutes," Snyder said.

"Don't worry, coach, I'm not tired." Li Xing said seriously.

Li Xing's expression convinced Snyder that what he said was true.

"Okay, tell me if you need anything." Snyder didn't want to force him.

Nowitzki was very surprised to find that Li Xing was also playing.

"Aren't you relieved after leading by so many points? Are you not satisfied with the data?" Nowitzki thought he was here to brush up the data.

Li Xing didn't say anything.

The Raptors' first attack in the final quarter came from Li Xing and Calderon's alley-oop.

After the pick-and-roll, Li Xingshun took off, caught the ball in the air and slammed for a dunk, making his sixth alley-oop of the game.

Thus, he completes tonight's events.

Now he doesn't care whether the incident is completed, Nowitzki's next performance is what he focuses on.

The German was about to explode.

The Raptors' defense pushed the Mavericks to a dead end, and they had to rely on Nowitzki's offense.

This is what Li Xing hopes to see.

Outside the three-point line, Nowitzki holds the ball.

A big man like him can handle the ball freely from beyond the three-point line, which has to be said to be an amazing talent.

The coordination of offense with the ball looks like a defender. Li Xing knows how he will attack, and he gets stuck every time when defending.

Nowitzki knew this would happen, so he leaned on Li Xing the moment he got stuck, found the rhythm of shooting, turned around and jumped up, and threw the ball in his hand.

This shot was too fast and too high. Even if Li Xing could reach a higher area than Nowitzki, he still couldn't touch the raised ball.

"Shh!"

"Don't relax, the game is not over yet."

Nowitzki said it as if Li Xing and him were on the same team.

"Need help?" Calderon asked.

"No, I'll come alone." Li Xing said.

The strong always like fighting spirit, Calderon can understand.

Li Xing rejected him, and like Nowitzki, he was scrambling for the ball from beyond the three-point line.

Calderon couldn't possibly ignore it.

Looking at Li Xing's position, Calderon's ball was passed out.

Li Xing grabbed the ball and looked at Nowitzki.

Li Xing will not forget what the first few skills he acquired were George Gervin's fingertip pick basket, and the other is Nowitzki's "similar with minor differences".

The combination of the two skills has unexpected effects.

It can be said that Nowitzki is an object of his imitation and learning.

Fortunately, Li Xing did not learn from Nowitzki's defense.

"Come on, boy!"

After Nowitzki said, Li Xing started with the ball. His speed was too fast. This kind of pace and acceleration should not be what a giant like him should have.

Let Nowitzki defend Li Xing and Chandler assist in the defense. This is the current move of the Mavericks.

If Chandler wants to help defend Li Xing, he has to leave Bargnani empty. You must know that the Italian averaged 20 points per game this season, and it takes courage and determination to empty him.

They dared to let Bargnani short, and Li Xing dared to pass the ball.

"You gang of Dallas clowns who look down on people, try my power!"

This was the most embarrassing scene tonight, the unguarded three-pointer, talking harshly, thinking he was amazing, but in the end he shot a three-point shot out of bounds.

The sudden quiet air made Bargnani very embarrassed.

"Cazoo! I knew this was not my place!" Baggnani complained.

"Andre, back on defense."

Li Xing was worried that if he went on like this, the team's momentum would be wiped out.

Bargnani clenched his fists and burst into tears: "You must believe me, this is not my strength! This is not!"

"Got it, Barney, let's go back to defense." Calderon shouted.

When it was the Mavericks' turn to attack, Kidd passed halftime steadily, and Calderon's defense was not as oppressive as Stephenson's.

If he were the coach of the Raptors, he would not let Calderon, who is not as aggressive as the defender, defend himself.

Even so, the Raptors' defense is impeccable under the influence of Li Xing.

It is almost impossible to break their barriers from the outside.

The basketball is passed, passed, time is running out, and there is no time.

Nowitzki roared and ran out to ask for the ball.

It was beyond the three-point line again, and Li Xing also followed.

Nowitzki stood two steps short of the three-point line, posing for a shot.

His posture, movements and demeanor are perfect, even Li Xing was deceived by him.

At that moment, he suddenly put the ball on the ground, completely passing Li Xing.

However, with Li Xing's height and wingspan, he didn't have time to rush into the basket and just shake people away.

Terrible talent at the moment reveals a fatal superiority, Nowitzki seems impossible to escape the block.

Talent can set a boundless ceiling for players, but talent is never everything in basketball.

Nowitzki seemed to have gained the power of a ghost, stepped on the three-point line and took a step back that he had never done before, then got up again, and pulled out a three-pointer at the buzzer.

too fast!
Li Xing couldn't believe that this was shot by Nowitzki. In his knowledge, the opponent would never throw such a ball.

This three-pointer carried the expectations of the Mavericks team, rushed high into the sky, and fell into the basket.

The American Airlines Center arena exploded.

"Dirk!"

"Dirk!"

"Dirk!"

"What a great blow, Dirk let Dante know that basketball is never just talent!"

What did Dirk Nowitzki leave behind for Li Xing?

Burning spirit and determination not to lose the game.

When the German tanks broke out, it also aroused Li Xing's desire to win.
