Superstar Tyreke

Chapter 165

Although the Mavericks do not have the high expectations of the Kings generals in this game, they still need to strive to win. Now they are 27 wins and 22 losses. In the playoffs, after all, in this shrinking season, there is only a gap of 5 wins between No. 10 in the Western Conference and No. 5 in the Western Conference. With less than 20 games left, we cannot relax our vigilance in every game.

"Gentlemen and ladies! This is Grant Napier, the commentator for today's game, and this is my partner, Jerry Reyz. The team will face the defending champion Dallas Mavericks here today. After losing many important players who won the championship last season, they still have a good performance. They are currently ranked 6th in the West, but the overall strength of the team has also declined significantly. Although their prospects for winning the championship were not optimistic last season , but it is also one of the championship teams recognized by the outside world, and they have basically withdrawn from the championship this season. Although Dirk Nowitzki and other veterans still have strong abilities, they are one year older after all. Coupled with the loss of personnel and the improvement of the overall strength of the western team this season, it is not easy for the Mavericks to maintain their current ranking."

Grant, but the Mavericks are still not an opponent that can be underestimated. The veterans led by Nowitzki are still difficult to deal with. Let's take a look at the starting lists of both sides today. The Kings are no different from the previous games. Rick, Jimmy, Francisco, David, and DeMarcus form the starting lineup. At the same time, Caron, who is still watching the game from the sidelines, is getting closer and closer to the day of his comeback. Caron should be able to return to the court in the first half of next month. Caron played for today's rival Mavericks as the No. 25 firepower last season. When Caron returns to the court, the team will be able to welcome the playoffs in the most complete state! Look at the Mavericks again, Jason Kidd, Vince... Carter, Sean Marion, Dirk Nowitzki, and Ian Mahinmi are their starting five, but to be honest, the starting age of this set is really too big, except for the 39-year-old Mahinmi, Kidd just passed his 35th birthday, Carter is 34 years old, Marion and Dirk Nowitzki will both be 35 years old, and the sixth man on the bench, Jason Terry, will also be 22 years old Look at the members of our team, 22-year-old Tyreke, 21-year-old Jimmy, 2-year-old DeMarcus, even the oldest Caron in the team is a few people older than the core of the Mavericks Nowitzki, the youngest in the game, is [-] years younger. I really doubt that the old bones of the Mavericks will be washed away by Tyreke and the others.”

Obviously, the Kings' sideline commentators Napier and Reyz are not optimistic about the Mavericks' old lineup winning the game.

After the opening performance of the cheerleading team, players from both sides stood on the court, jumped the ball in the middle circle, and the game officially started!
The Kings took the lead to get the ball, and Tyreke held the ball halfway to prepare for the Kings' first attack!
Kidd, who played against Tyreke, has won 4 times the first team of the best defensive team and 5 times the second team of the best defensive team. Kidd's defensive strength is beyond doubt, and his defensive IQ is extremely high. The characteristics of blocking body position, blocking footsteps, and blocking routes can always make a strong body stand in the best defensive position in advance in the game. Kidd even switched to defend LeBron James in last year's finals.However, although defensive experience and defensive awareness will not decline with age, the decline in physical function is unavoidable.

Facing the 39-year-old Kidd, Tyreke ordered his teammates to open a single for him. Kidd tried his best to block Tyreke's breakthrough. He did predict the direction of Tyreke's breakthrough. Although Kidd was strong enough, But at the age of 39, he really can't keep up with Tyreke's starting speed. In addition, Kidd only has a size advantage over small guards. Tyreke is taller and stronger. Kidd was directly defeated by Tyreke. One step over!
West and Cousins ​​blocked the inside space for Tyreke, and Tyreke made an easy layup!

"Beautiful. Facing Jason Kidd, Tyreke gave the Mavericks a bad start. Kidd was indeed a super guard, but now he is 39 years old, and he can't keep up with Tyreke! "Napier was thrilled to take one step past a former superstar.

The Kings have star players like Tyreke, and the Mavericks also have Nowitzki!

As a well-deserved symbol of the Mavericks team, Nowitzki, who has played for the Mavericks in the league for 13 years, still maintains an excellent personal state in the 14th year of his career. Nowitzki, who has no dead ends in offense, quickly entered the state in the first quarter , Facing the powerful inside combination of West and Cousins, Nowitzki showed his super offensive ability.

Nowitzki received a pass from Kidd at a high position and faced West with his back. As the second oldest player of the Kings, West is not as experienced as Nowitzki, but he is also a full-fledged veteran on the court. , He has played against Nowitzki dozens of times on the field. West is very aware of Nowitzki's strength. When Nowitzki receives the ball, West who is facing him Maintain a high degree of concentration.

Seeing that West was defending very tightly, Nowitzki chose to play hard. With his height of 2 meters, Nowitzki has excellent vision in the high position. Nowitzki quickly found Carter who was running without the ball from the outside. Nowitzki pretended to turn around and break through, and then smartly distributed the ball to Carter on the outside.Hit!
Nowitzki's beautiful offensive choice, even if he has excellent personal ability, he still doesn't make strong shots, and uses his excellent ball transfer to find teammates with better opportunities to complete the offense!
Then Nowitzki showed his personal offense without dead ends at the home court of the Kings. He received Kidd's pass at the top of the arc and faced West again. Nowitzki held the ball face-to-face and made a fake shot. The action affected West's center of gravity, and he made great efforts to grab the breakthrough on the left side. As a power forward, Nowitzki has first-class speed in this position. Even though he is almost 34 years old, his starting speed is faster than that of West Especially faster!
West defended on the side of Nowitzki. Nowitzki did not choose to go straight to the inside to kill, but suddenly stopped, then stepped back to open the distance with West, and shot a jumper!

Nowitzki's signature golden rooster independence!Hollow into the net!
All actions are done in one go, full of coherence!
This is the banner figure of the Mavericks, the German chariot Dirk Nowitzki!As long as the Dallas Mavericks have this man, no one can underestimate them no matter what the situation is!
