King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 169 The Attacking Nuotian King
After Udrih came on the court, the ball was also handed over to Iguodala at the beginning, but Marion's defense prevented Iguodala from getting any chances.So Iguodala chose to hang the ball to the inside, Cousins ​​got stuck in the position after receiving the ball, turned over and made a pick.

The Kings are gradually opening the score, Mavericks fans began to feel a wave of uneasiness, this time they are all focused on the blond German on the field.Nowitzki received a pass from Kidd in the high post, and soon, just like the initial tactic, Udrih double-teamed the past, implementing the King's defensive policy.

This time he didn't choose to pass the ball, but turned around suddenly to prevent Udri from interfering from behind. He didn't choose to use the more efficient back in this series. At this moment, he seems to have returned to the original 07 Facing Yi Jianlian's defense, the MVP with an invincible face first tentatively took a step to the right. Seeing this action, Yi Jianlian couldn't help leaning back a little bit. Nowitzki saw Yi Jianlian suddenly The right foot stepped back a little bit, smiled slightly, and suddenly pulled it out directly, and the basketball hit the net in response.

Yi Jianlian stretched out his hands straight, and Nowitzki didn't have a lot of room to shoot. Even so, this shot still allowed him to find a chance. Iguodala saw it from the side and had nowhere to vent his anger. This is not because Udrih is not serious about defending, but Udrih does not have the wingspan and speed of He Yixiang. When Nowitzki turned his back to him and stuck him on the right and dribbled with his left hand, he had nothing to do.

On the next ball, Marion made an off-ball pick-and-roll for Nowitzki. Nowitzki directly cut in. After Yi Jianlian was blocked, Iguodala chased him behind him, but Kidd's pass Very thief, this is a hit pass, the basketball hits the ground just where Iguodala is, and Iguodala's hands are out of reach, and he wants to block it with his feet, but it's too late, the basketball has already flown In the hands of Nowitzki, Cousins ​​hurried over to complete the defense, but Nowitzki still completed his layup after making physical contact with Cousins ​​in the air, and shot the basketball Going into the net, Cousins ​​also got a foul for this.

"Fuck! What kind of stupid media would say that such a guy is soft," Cousins ​​couldn't help but see Dirk Nowitzki score the ball after confronting him without fear and complete the 2+1 forcefully. He yelled at the media who misled him before the game.

The point difference was about to open to double digits, but after Nowitzki succeeded in two consecutive tough singles, the point difference was obviously recovered a little bit, relying on Nowitzki's superb game in the second half After playing, the Mavericks finally drew with the Kings at 24:24 in the first quarter. Mavericks fans looked at the blond German chariot waving on the field. This is the backbone of the Mavericks team.

After the second quarter, He Yixiang also returned, Cousins ​​went off, and the Kings played Whiteside to strengthen the defense.Nowitzki didn't cool off his fiery touch just because of the break just now. As soon as the game started, after picking and rolling for Kidd, he received a pass from Kidd at a 45-degree angle, and went straight against He Yixiang's defense. A three-pointer was scored, and this goal was also a goal for the Mavericks to overtake.

He Yixiang's return did not wake up the Kings. Although the defense in this game has improved a lot compared to the previous airport, the Mavericks' offense was exceptionally good today. They returned to the home court and played again. Started two games just as beautifully.Especially Nowitzki's offense, today the king has spent more effort on his defense, but he still performed very well, he has scored 18 points and 4 assists before the end of the half, 4 Assists are only a small part, and there are still many chances that he passed out after the first pass, which are not counted in his statistics. Relying on his offensive containment, Terry, who came off the bench, has already hit three three-pointers.

And today Nowitzki’s performance is not only on the offensive end, but also made great contributions on the defensive end. He has contributed 3 steals in the game. As an insider with a career-high 9 steals in a single game and a career steal close to 1, his cutting level is unquestionable, and today, when Chandler is not on the court, he has done a good job of defending Cousins. Task, Cousins ​​only scored 4 points against Nowitzki tonight, but at the same time he already made two mistakes.

With 10 seconds left at the end of the half, the Mavericks made the final attack. This time, Nowitzki did not catch the ball at the corners or the waist that he is familiar with. Although he felt good today, but in that position The harassment by the King's outside players also made him unable to be a little irritable.Facing the pressing Cousins ​​with his back at the top of the arc, he suddenly turned to the left. Cousins ​​quickly shifted his center of gravity back. However, Nowitzki's breakthrough was really a fake move. He made the first step very quickly like a defender. Then he stopped suddenly and then stepped back to the three-point position for a three-point shot, and the high-arc three-pointer passed through the net.The goal light was on, and the score came to 52:41. After this three-pointer was scored, the Mavericks' lead has reached double digits.

"This guy, at such an old age, can still make such a beautiful guard-like step back?" Cousins ​​couldn't believe it. In his heart, even a big man who was about his height could shoot The three-pointer is also a performance of catching and shooting. This kind of three-pointer that creates opportunities by itself almost destroys his three-point view, as if leading him to appreciate a different basketball world.

The fans of the Mavericks also became excited, and they were getting closer to the second round: "Sure enough, as long as Dirk plays, the Kings team is nothing at all, right? Tonight he is not only The offense exploded, and the defense did pretty well."

"Dirk's strength is up to us. This year is the most reasonable year for us. With Chandler to protect our penalty area, Nowitzki can maximize his strength. I have to say, Getting Chandler this summer makes our roster finally perfect!"

The attacking Novak Nuo Tianwang has given the Mavericks fans infinite reverie. They have long been unwilling to be a team with 50 wins in the regular season and do nothing in the playoffs. But this year, they feel that it is the most promising year. Even surpassed the year in 07 when the Mavericks had the best regular season record in team history.
