King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 156 The Second Battle in Dallas
Entering the American Airlines Center again, there are still extremely crazy Mavericks fans, and the craziest fan among this group of Mavericks fans is their boss Mark Cuban, who is the most special boss in the entire NBA.Generally speaking, the owners of NBA teams are not basketball fanatics. They usually play a passive "cash machine" role, and the team is just a tool for them to make money.They generally don't often watch team games. Even if there is a home game, they will mostly watch the game in a luxurious box isolated from the hustle and bustle of the scene.

Compared with these bosses, Cuban's performance is simply a loyal fan of the Mavericks. He will wear a short T with the team logo printed on it during the game and sit on the sidelines to watch the game with expressive expressions; Rao, even though he's been fined more in the league for inappropriate remarks than all other owners combined; he'll yell and yell like a kid when his team wins, and he'll come to the team's road games in his own private jet to cheer on them .He doesn't care whether the team can make much money for him. He hopes that the team can win a championship even if he pays a high luxury tax for it. However, the reality is that he still hasn't won a championship until now.

The second game between the two sides begins. The Mavericks will definitely not take the initiative to change after the big victory in the last game. It is still Kidd, Stevenson, Marion, Nowitzki, and Chandler. The starting lineup, and the king replaced Landry with Yi Jianlian as the starting power forward, which is obviously due to defensive considerations.

The Mavericks still allowed Nowitzki to catch the ball at the right corner of the ball after halftime. Yi Jianlian was very forward and did not give Nowitzki a chance to fall back. Nowitzki had no room to shoot. He is planning to break through along the free throw line, and He Yixiang, the assistant defender, has already been eyeing him. Although Nowitzki's dribbling is good, he is not sure about dribbling through the area defended by the king of steals.

He chooses to play with his back and back. Others always promise him softly, but in fact his strength is in the NBA, so he is definitely not soft inside. Even if Yi Jianlian has gained a lot of weight, he still can't handle it. It feels like being pushed back a step, and Nowitzki took a step back and made a jumper easily at the moment this step was pushed away, and Yi Jianlian stopped in place because of the inertia of being pushed back a step.

After the goal was scored, the Crazy Cowboys led by Cuban immediately began to make noises to put pressure on the visiting team. This is already the Mavericks' usual way of away games. Since they have the most crazy crowd in the league, why not make good use of them?What's more, the meaning of the Mavericks team itself refers to the crazy cowboy spirit.

The Kings have adjusted not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end these days. They were not in a hurry when they were advanced by a goal. He Yixiang took the ball to the top of the arc, while Casspi and Yi Jianlian directly sank to the corner. After He Yixiang passed Kidd, the Mavericks' supplementary defense still came quickly. It was Marion who came to defend with a pair of long arms. He Yixiang's offensive line was directly blocked, but he was not in a hurry. They have studied the videos of the Mavericks in the past few days. The moment he came to defend, Iguodala ran directly in the opposite direction, and He Yixiang sent a back pass directly to his hand comfortably. Before Germany had time to make up, Stevenson was forced to come over to help defend, but this was also in line with the wishes of the Kings players. Iguodala gave the ball to Casspi without stopping. This time Kidd was desperate. As the king's second-accurate shooter this season besides He Yixiang, this kind of ball is like a gift to the door, and Casspi will naturally not give up This opportunity got the king's first point in this game.

"Master Tactician" Carlisle glanced at it and not only frowned, the king's play style for this ball is very simple, that is, to play against Kidd, first use He Yixiang to disrupt the Mavericks' defense, and then rely on Kidd's slow defensive speed Make a large-scale transfer outside, and then get an open shot opportunity, and the King has He Yixiang, Casspi, and Iguodala three elite shooters. Their three-point ability is also very strong, otherwise they will not be in Sta Puth's center of gravity broke the record for halftime three-pointers.Looking at Westphal on the opposite side, Carlisle, who is known as a master tactician, couldn't help but smile. This is really a good opponent.

Then the two sides fought frequently. The Mavericks relied on the bread-and-butter to pinch Nowitzki to get a lot of opportunities, while the Kings relied on He Yixiang to create a lot of opportunities. The cores of both sides are unstoppable in the current situation. But tonight's ball frame seems to be more friendly to the visiting team. After half a quarter, the Kings scored 10 points on 5 of 14 shots, while the Mavericks only scored 9 points on 3 of 11 shots.Seeing that the situation was not good, Carlisle called a timeout first.

"Substitute defense, Stevenson, you go directly to defend He, let him understand your defensive strength!" Carlisle also made a very wise substitution, let Terry come on, because Kidd is now on the court. It's cumbersome. On the defensive end, someone needs to wipe his ass. On the offensive end, the Kings directly let go of his three-pointers to deal with it, but Kidd only surrendered 4 of 1 shots. People's defense is more unscrupulous.

Kidd, who was off the court, seemed a little angry and a little sad. At any rate, he was also a super giant point guard who led his team to the finals. Now, because of his physical deterioration, he was directly hit by a rookie and sat on the bench for 6 minutes. This also has to make people feel a bit of sadness, but there is no way, this is a competitive game, and people will always grow old one day. His physical degradation is already an inevitable thing for him. Now he just I hope that this year's Mavericks can win the championship, so that his dream of being a champion can be fulfilled, so that he will have no more regrets in his career.

The fans of the Kings were a little excited to see this scene in front of the TV, and beat Kidd down. Is this a kind of inheritance of point guards? Should He Yixiang also take over the banner of point guards? The leader of the NBA point guard?

"He's still strong! I'm optimistic that we can steal a home game in Dallas in this game. Kidd is really too old. He has absolutely no ability to stop He's attack!"

"No way, this is the sadness of an older basketball player. Fortunately, He is still very young. Maybe when he is at that time, I won't watch the game anymore!"
