King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 259 Capture of Dallas ([-])
Brian was sitting in the stadium of the American Airlines Center, looking at the laptop in front of him angrily. He had already started writing about the game that the King was about to lose, but when he wrote this article In just a few minutes, the court has undergone earth-shaking changes. The King let the Mavericks understand what is the best strength in the league in just a few minutes. His article is completely useless.

"Fuck! What did that guy Jason play? Under the defense of that yellow-skinned monkey, he became an ugly clown. Can't he be more determined when shooting?"

"Dirk, weren't you the MVP of last year's finals? You played so hard against a West who broke his leg?"

He has nowhere to vent his anger, he can only keep cursing the Mavericks players who are not performing well on the field, but he obviously forgot where this place is, this is the American Airlines Center, and this is the home of the Mavericks.

His broken thoughts quickly attracted the attention of the Mavericks fans next to him. Although this year's Mavericks did not perform well, the Mavericks fans still love this team sincerely. A player who fought for the Mavericks.

"Hey, buddy, are you really our fan?" Beside Brian, a strong white man over 1 meters frowned and asked Brian. He had already put up with this naughty guy. For a long time, "It's understandable that we didn't play well this year, but if you say one more word, I might throw you out of this court!"

"Since you can't tolerate the trough of this team, then you have no need to be with this team, and you are not qualified to see the Mavericks' next peak!" Another Mavericks fan on the side also chimed in Said.

These words suddenly made Brian realize that this is the Mavericks' home court, so he had to shut up and look at the field expectantly. At this time, his mentality was the same as that of Mavericks fans, expecting the Mavericks to win.What he regrets the most now is why he was so cheap at the beginning, and wanted to win attention by saying that the Mavericks are a better team. As a basketball commentator who is not very famous on ESPN, sometimes he needs The only thing is to risk your own military operations.

But he never expected that He Yixiang's temper would be so violent, and he directly responded to him, putting him in an extremely embarrassing situation, and the current stadium is not on his side as it was at the beginning , it is very difficult for him to solve these problems now, he can only go to the dark one way, support the Mavericks, and never back down!

The second quarter of the game began. Mavericks fans hoped that during the timeout period of this quarter, the king's touch would cool down a little. His Barea completed a super long three-pointer, and then Kenyon Martin, who came off the bench with another assist, took off directly and completed an alley-oop dunk, which further widened the score difference.

Although the previous kings were very good starters, their substitutes were weak. But this year, Udri, Casspi, Yi Jianlian and Whiteside, who have improved a lot compared to last year, and the newly signed Kenyon Martin. The bench lineup is one of the best even in the entire league.

He Yixiang began to rest after helping the Kings with 5 points, but Udrih's performance was still good, but the offensive point began to shift from outside to inside, and Cousins ​​​​began to bear more of the King's output.

Cousins ​​received a pass from Udrih on the outside. Facing the double-teaming of Heywood and Nowitzki, Cousins ​​did not choose to split the ball. Instead, he chose to turn around and break through the bottom line. Not up to Cousins' speed, this ball directly allowed Cousins ​​to slip to the bottom line with ease and complete a kickback.He roared excitedly when he dunked successfully.

Mavericks fans never expected that they would be beaten even worse by the opponent when they were at home. The Kings just couldn't shoot when they didn't adapt to the basket at the American Airlines Center in the first few minutes. Now they It seems to be playing very casually, scoring goals, and the Mavericks can't make any effective resistance at all.

Seeing that Cousins ​​played a little unscrupulously in the interior, Cuban, who was watching the game from the sidelines, felt for the first time that he regretted giving up Chandler. This center, who is very likely to get the best defensive player this year, has always been It is the patron saint of the Mavericks restricted area and the last line of defense for the Mavericks.

The Mavericks have a lot of offensive players. When Nowitzki is not in good shape, Terry can stand up. When Terry is in bad shape, there are Barea, Marion, and Vince Carter. On the defensive end, rely on Marion on the outside and Chandler on the inside. This is the true portrayal of the Mavericks' defense last season.

The Mavericks, who have lost the inside barrier, have no way to rely on one person to stop the rampage of the King's inside. They can only double-team the inside. However, the King's outside shooters are also a bunch of bugs, Udrih, Casspi, Iguodah Everyone has a beautiful three-pointer, and Kenyon Martin has an excellent air cutting awareness, and Cousins' passing ability is also very good.

The Mavericks are completely unable to prevent the Kings from scoring on the defensive end, so even if they play a good offense, there is no way to recover the disadvantage in the score!
Compared with the previous two away games, the defending champion at home fell into garbage time faster this time, and it only took two and a half quarters, and the king's lead was as high as 20 points. Last year's Finals MVP Dirk Nowitzki's eyes were blank. His performance was not bad. He scored 18 points on 9 of 25 shots. It's not bad, but he just couldn't fundamentally save the Mavericks.

He Yixiang and Cousins ​​are already superstars on par with him, and the Mavericks are not without superstars, but Carter and Kidd who are over 35 years old have long been useless, not to mention Iguodala and West If it weren't for a team like the Kings, let them go to the East to be other second-in-commands, and they would still be a quasi-All-Star.

0:3, since the seven-game four-win system, no team has been able to come back from a 0:3 deficit. It has to be said that from a certain mysterious law, the Mavericks have left the postseason In the current game, their biggest goal now is to use a victory to prevent themselves from becoming a defending champion who is swept out. In this way, they can win the fourth game in Dallas and save a little bit of face for the home fans.
