Chapter 233 The Awakened Clippers

Sure enough, the second half was even more difficult for the Mavericks. The Clippers' iron-strike monsters were fed out by Reggie Evans' frontcourt boards in the second quarter. As for Chris Paul, he hit two mid-range shots near the free throw line at the beginning of the second half.

Chris Paul's touch returned, and Anson also took enough time off the court.Two superstars began to take over the game. Dirk Nowitzki had taken on too many offensive tasks in the first half. Although the Mavericks were all soldiers in the first half, they played their best performance in this series Halftime, but there must be a commander in this lineup of all soldiers, and that is Dirk Nowitzki.

Dirk Nowitzki, who didn't have much rest in the first half, didn't start in the second half, which also caused the Mavericks to not go well on the offensive end at the beginning of the second half.

Their role players are all very good tonight, and they are playing at home again. Tonight is the closest they are to victory, and it is also a key game for them not to face elimination. If they fall behind 0:3, they will really fall. Really desperate.

In the second half, Yi Jianlian and Brandon Haywood's inside line looked a bit good, but the problem was that because of Dirk Nowitzki's end, the Mavericks' offensive pressure was almost entirely placed on their back line.

And the exact point is that the Clippers' perimeter defense has always been the strongest in the league. If Vince Carter can maintain his offensive in the first half, then he can barely play against the powerful Clippers. If you want to score points in front of the defense, but now you want to rely on him to win, then you can only dream of returning to the peak of the four shooting guards, but you can't.

An Sheng's offense showed a strong aggressiveness after getting enough rest. Yi Jianlian's height bounce may have a good effect in preventing the breakthrough of some small defenders, but facing An Sheng!Sorry, he's not the Tyson Chandler in New York, who is Anson's biggest rival for this year's Defensive Player of the Year.

An off-the-ball cut received a pass from Chris Paul and broke through and directly pushed Yi Jianlian to complete a dunk.Double-teaming, in the presence of both Chris Paul and Anson, to double-team a player without the ball, this is probably because he is afraid that his team will die badly enough.

This physical confrontation in the air can be seen very simply. As a power forward, Yi Jianlian's strength is still far behind An Sheng's. Maybe An Sheng's rushing in has a little effect, but he can be carried away continuously. It was a bit embarrassing for Yi Jianlian.

In previous games, it might be understandable to be carried away by the group of beast-like flying blacks with extremely explosive power, and the fans will help him find reasons, but this time, he has no reason to say, maybe it is himself Not working hard enough on strength.

Even Dirk Nowitzki couldn't stop the Clippers who were a little crazy in the second half. They were completely different from the iron brigade in the first half. The defense no longer dared to ignore their existence, but the Mavericks watched the two of them a little tighter, which meant that other players had opportunities.

Chris Paul made a cross pass to Jason Richardson at the bottom corner of the three-point line, and the three-point guard with a knife who had regained his touch made a clean shot directly, and the basketball hit through the net.

In the next round, Anson was double-teamed, and this time, he was also looking for Jason Richardson. The Mavericks' defensive rotation noticed this guy hiding next to him this time, and Vince Carter threw it out. The speed is very fast, but this time Jason Richardson didn't even think about shooting a three-pointer.

This is a fake move. When Vince Carter made a save, he took advantage of the situation and broke through the paint. At this moment, the two-time dunk champion Jason Richardson passed the so-called strongest dunker in history. Vince Carter, the two won three of the four championships after the restart of the slam dunk contest.

Now that he has the opportunity, Jason Richardson will naturally not let go of this opportunity to show himself. He succeeded in dunking the lever. The slam dunk king who got up was invading, which was really embarrassing for them.

Jason Richardson scored five points in a row. This is really not good news for the Mavericks, but he is far more than one player who has awakened. Seeing this dunk, last year's dunk king Blake Griffin He couldn't help but show his hand.

With a few high-speed dribbles, Brandon Haywood, who was pulled out to defend, was so scalp numb. He quickly changed direction and staggered the big black man in front of him, and then rushed straight to the basket. The explosive power is stronger than Jason Richardson and An Sheng. This momentum makes Yi Jianlian feel unstoppable in the first defense.

The fans of the Mavericks were a little desperate, and they played evenly in the second quarter, but now, a direct 5-minute wave led directly by 0 points.This game has already been close to scoring garbage time again. Mark Cuban, who called out extremely fiercely at the beginning, suddenly lost his voice. He knew that his team would hardly win the championship this year, and he interfered with the ball. The team's management has indeed made the team's strength suffer this year, but he still hopes that the team will go further. However, the very likely 3:[-] in the first round makes him a little desperate.

Rick Carlisle is an excellent coach. If we talk about his past, he is definitely one of the best coaches in the NBA. As a coach, he has nothing to do.

89:97, the game is over. For the Mavericks, this game is already their best game. The Clippers did not score more than [-] points. In the fourth quarter, they almost chased the score. Ping, but now it seems that they have no chance from beginning to end.

The Clippers’ awakening in the second half took less than 10 minutes to fully grasp the lead. The Mavericks’ struggles had no room for struggle when the Clippers’ players recovered. They resisted very well in the second quarter. Anson's nuclear bomb attack, but what's the deal?Facing the full force of the Clippers, they disarmed after only resisting for a few minutes.
