Legendary basketball manager

In general, it's hard to see big players doing this move.

First, this action is a test of the player's coordination.If the coordination is not enough, the shooting action is easily deformed after the step back.

Second, big players put a huge load on their knees when they do this move.Generally speaking, as long as a slender insider with a light weight, or a talented player, a player with a pair of iron knees will use it as a conventional weapon.

Obviously, Nowitzki meets the first requirement, but not the second.

But this year he is in good shape, so he naturally wants to fight hard.

Heavy load on the knees?As long as he doesn't lose the chain in the playoffs, Nowitzki won't care.

He just wants to win!Just want to win that damn O'Brien Cup!

Yi Jianlian was deceived by this step back, and his center of gravity was completely moved back, so he could only watch Nowitzki complete the shot...

"Shu~"

Basketball hollow into the net!

16:8, the point difference is about to reach double digits!

On the sidelines, Mark Jackson decisively called a timeout.

During the dinner, the Rocket young marshal was furious.

"Is this your attitude towards the Western Conference Finals? Now that the big score is only 1:0, we just won a home game. Regardless of this advantage, everyone has lost in the end?"

"Have you seen the defensive attitude of the Mavericks? Everyone is working hard, and every defensive rotation is the ultimate!"

"Let's put it this way, if we continue to play with this attitude and cannot match the opponent's strength, the game will be over! Think about what you said to the boss after the last game?"

Mark Jackson rarely used a voice that was almost growling, shouting at the players.

The generals of the Rockets also knew their problems, and they were trained silently with their heads down.

At the same time, in the VIP box on the stands, Shen Fei remained calm.

He wasn't surprised by the Mavericks' strong start.

In the original time and space, the Mavericks looked like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang throughout the playoffs.

The stronger the opponent and the more critical the situation, the greater their potential will often be unleashed.

Especially Nowitzki.

In the 5 minutes so far, he still maintains a 100% hit rate, and he also knocked out the Rockets inside gate Ben Wallace...

You know, in the last game, Big Ben prevented Nowitzki from losing his temper.

In just three days, the situation has undergone a 180° change, which shows Nowitzki's terrifying adjustment and adaptability!

but...

Shen Fei looked at the Rockets players on the bench, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

He believes that after the timeout ends, the game will change.

Even if the main players can't reverse the situation, there are many players on the Rockets' bench who can change the situation.

Like... Brandon Roy!

In the original time and space, the champion Mavericks actually almost fell in the first round with the Timberwolves.

In that series, Roy, who had just recovered from a serious injury and played as a substitute for the Timberwolves, used unstoppable singles time and time again, almost capsizing the Mavericks gutter.

And now, what the Rockets have is a completely healthy Yellow Mamba!

Shen Fei believes that, but the team is in a headwind situation, Roy will definitely stand up from the bench.

............

The timeout ended, the two sides did not make substitution adjustments, and the game continued.

The Rockets serve from the baseline.

After Curry dribbled the ball for halftime, he handed the ball to McGrady, and he began to run without the ball.

Butler, who is defending him, is a small forward, so it is naturally impossible to compare with Curry in terms of speed.

But in running, Butler always creates physical contact intentionally or unintentionally.

After getting hit a few times, Curry complained angrily to the referee, but got no response.

"It's a man's sport, Stephen, you're not going to cry, are you?"

Butler smiled smugly when he saw that his complaint was fruitless.

Curry glared at him, didn't respond, and continued to attack.

Soon, Mengshen found an opportunity.

He suddenly ran back at the bottom line and rushed towards Yi Jianlian.

The UAE understood it, set up an off-ball screen for it, and blocked Butler for a second.

Curry took the opportunity to get outside the three-point line.

Nowitzki desperately catch up.

But when he rushed to Curry, the latter had already completed the shot.

After the basketball left Curry's fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

16: 11!

After scoring the goal, Curry did not mock Butler, who had just made an insult.

He just hammered his chest with his right fist, and then pointed to the sky with both hands.

Mavericks attack.

Kidd passed the half court with the ball and came to the top of the arc to organize.

This time, Curry did not allow old Kidd the opportunity to observe easily.

Mengshen bullied her body and began to press close to her body.

Kidd is experienced, and immediately turned sideways, using his shoulder to separate the ball from Curry.

But in this way, his field of vision also narrowed a bit.

At the same time, Yi Jianlian is still in a fierce position with Nowitzki.

This time, Ah Lian chose to defend around the front - since I can't guard you after you catch the ball, then I will guard until you can't catch the ball!

Nowitzki and Yi Jianlian entangled for a while, and when they found that there was no chance to catch the ball, they immediately changed their minds.

He beckoned Chandler over instead of playing a pick-and-roll inside.

Using the screen, Nowitzki ran near the free throw line and finally caught the ball.

But after he got the ball, George immediately stepped forward and double-teamed with Yi Jianlian.

Nowitzki decisively passed the ball to Marion.

Hackers in wide open three-pointer...

hit!

At 19:11, the Mavericks' shooting percentage since the opening was frighteningly high!

However, the Rockets will remain calm about this.

"The defense was very good just now. He was supposed to let him shoot. Our defensive expectations have been met."

Yao Ming shouted.

The other Rockets players nodded.

After the offensive and defensive transition, Yao Ming received the ball in the low post.

This time, Nowitzki did not dare to go forward to pinch again, because Yi Jianlian was squatting in the bottom corner, waiting for an opportunity.

And Yao Ming, who got the singles opportunity, once again showed his dominance inside.

He walked like a tiger, crushing Chandler to the basket, and with a light hook with his right hand, he sent the ball firmly into the basket.

19: 13!

Mavericks' offensive round.

Rockets in accordance with tactical arrangements, once again leading the Mavericks to the ball in the hands of Marion.

Hacker, who just made a three-pointer, became more confident at this time, and made another three-pointer...

"Duang!"

The ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out.

Yi Jianlian took off the moment the ball bounced and easily received the rebound.

Interestingly, Nowitzki didn't even have time to jump when he grabbed the rebound.

The Rockets took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack.

During the fast break, George received a pass from Curry's back, strode towards the basket, and scored against Chandler!

At 19:15, the difference between the two sides was only 4 points!

Now, it was Mavericks coach Carlisle's turn to frown.

Judging from these 2 minutes, the Rockets have obviously slowed down.

Whether it is offense or defense, they have done more targeted than the opening.

[It is no longer possible to let Marion go to the end according to their expectations...]

Carlisle thought to himself.

With this in mind, he walked quickly to the technical platform, raised his hands, and made a strange gesture.

The Maverick generals took a look and immediately understood what Carlisle meant.

Soon, when the Rockets double-teamed Nowitzki again, Marion no longer waited outside the three-point line, but cut to the basket.

If I can't make a three-point shot, I can always make it when I rush to the basket, right?

The sudden change of the Mavericks successfully caught the Rockets by surprise.

Marion lightly stretched his arms and pushed the ball into the basket.

21: 15!

But the Mavericks players hadn't had time to be happy, the Rockets had almost sent the bottom line.

Yao Ming waved his hand and passed the ball to McGrady near the middle circle.

T-MAC took long legs and went straight to the heart of the calf.

Marion, who was defending him, just ran to the three-point line in the Rockets' half.

Therefore, the task of McGrady under the basket was handed over to Kidd.

The old Kidd has rich experience and knows that it is difficult to prevent McGrady's fast break with his own strength.

The only way is to stop him with a tactical foul before he starts up!

Ever since, Kidd rushed towards McGrady like an eagle catching a chick.

Unexpectedly, before T-MAC reached out for a foul, his feet slammed on the ground, and he sped away from his side with an acceleration.

Kidd only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and when he came back to his senses, McGrady had disappeared.

When he turned around, T-MAC had already jumped high, fully stretching his body in the air...

"BANG!"

McGrady ignited the atmosphere of the scene with a pull back button!

"MVP!!!"

"MVP!!!"

"MVP!!!"

......

Amid the cheers of the fans, the score changed to 21:17.

In the next few minutes, the two sides came and went, not giving in to each other.

With 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the score was temporarily fixed at 29:25, with the Mavericks leading by 4 points.

At this time, the coaches of the two teams began to make substitutions at the same time.

As usual, the Rockets have made extensive adjustments.

Of the starting five, only Curry stayed on the court.

Roy, Danny Green, Griffin, Oden all debut!

On the Mavericks side, Nowitzki was replaced by Haywood, and Kidd and Butler also came off the court to rest.

Their lineup became: Barea, Terry, Peja, Marion and Haywood.

After seeing the lineups of both sides, Shen Fei in the stands was overjoyed!

The average height of the Mavericks' two guards is 1 meters!

Whether it's Curry or Roy, isn't it just playing with them?

And this line...

Marion still has the power to fight against Griffin.

When Heywood met Oden, it was basically a meal on the plate!

"What are you thinking, Carlisle?"

Shen Fei couldn't help murmuring.

............

After the game restarted, the Rockets really started to fight back as Shen Fei expected!

In the first round, Roy singled Terry with the ball and succeeded in a mid-range jumper.

29: 27!

One minute later, the Yellow Mamba made a comeback.

He took advantage of his height in the low post and hit Terry behind him.

Although the Jets tried their best to resist, Roy still easily turned back and scored the ball!

At 29:29, the point difference was instantly evened out!

At this time, there are still 40 seconds before the end of the first quarter.

Barea wanted to grab one.

He advanced quickly, and with the help of Marion's pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, he went to the basket.

Facing Oden who was assisting in the defense, Barea was not afraid at all, and challenged the emperor with a high toss...

"Snapped!"

Oden's head-to-head block shot directly slapped Barea awake.

The ball just fell into Curry's hands.

He glanced up at the timer. There were 35 seconds left.

A bold idea immediately appeared in his mind.

Thinking about it, Curry quickly dribbled across the half court, but he stopped in the logo area.

Terry, who was retreating, immediately had a bad feeling.

The next moment, Curry did as he expected, bending his knees, receiving the ball, shooting, pressing his wrist...

Throughout the shooting process, Curry completed it smoothly.

It was obviously a super long-range shot across the half court, but he used the same one-motion shot as usual.

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at high speed, drawing a rainbow-like arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

At 29:32, after entering the transition period, the Rockets immediately played a 7:0 climax, overtaking the score in one fell swoop!

On the Mavericks bench, Nowitzki frowned, his eyes were three points anxious, three points angry, and four points puzzled.

He couldn't figure out how the lead he had saved for the team with all his efforts could be wiped out in just 2 minutes...

But the first quarter wasn't over yet.

In the last 30 seconds, Barea pressed the rhythm near the middle circle.

He didn't start the attack until there were 7 seconds left in the attack time.

With the help of Heywood's cover, Barea managed to get rid of Curry.

Oden quickly moved laterally to help Curry make up the defense.

At the same time, Haywood quickly cuts to the basket.

Barea saw the timing and passed the ball with a single hit.

His pass angle is very good, passing right between Curry and Oden, but the strength is a bit stronger.

Heywood, who already has some "butter hand" attributes, tried his best to bend down to catch the ball, but he still couldn't catch the ball well in one go.

The ball got out of his control and continued to roll forward.

Griffin had quick eyes and quick hands, picked up the ball, and then began to look for Curry.

The Mavericks reacted quickly and immediately blocked the passing route.

Seeing this, Griffin simply dribbled the ball forward.

He has a good sense of the ball, and his dribbling speed and rhythm are far beyond the average big man.

Coupled with the best physical fitness, Griffin's forward speed is even faster than some guards.

Along the way, he encountered Marion's tackle attempt, but he deftly deflected it with a behind-the-back dribble.

In this way, while coping with the defense, Griffin pushed forward, and actually reached near the free throw line in the Mavericks' half.

At this time, there are only 3 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, and it is impossible to stop and organize an offense.

Griffin rushed to the basket in one go.

The Mavericks' last line of defense turned out to be shooter Peja.

Griffin used his right foot as the axis, made a beautiful back turn to pass Peja, and then took off on one foot, leaping high...

"BANG!"

"Den!"

After Griffin completed the dunk, the timer's red light also came on.

Buzzer dunk!

"Roar!!!"

After the goal, Griffin roared excitedly towards the stands.

Almost every time he plays now, he is in "anger mode".

This one-stop dunk is Griffin's self-catharsis!

"Blake!"

"Blake!"

"Blake!"

......

There is only one voice left at the Toyota Center at the moment.

In fact, many of the Rockets fans silently complained about Griffin.

He obviously had a long-term and stable performance during the regular season. Although his performance declined in the playoffs, it was not bad.

But from the sixth game against the Thunder, Griffin was completely kicked out of the starting lineup...

The fans are very worried that such an outstanding young player will be hit by it.

Fortunately, Griffin's performance was fairly strong, and he played very hard every time he played.

Therefore, in these two games, whenever Griffin roared and vented after dunking, the fans would respond with the greatest enthusiasm.

In the stands, Shen Fei watched this scene quietly, but there were waves in his heart.

Judging from Griffin's recent performance, he is definitely unwilling to be reduced to a substitute.

This year he is only a first-year rookie, coupled with the same goal of the team - everything is only for the championship, Griffin may be able to bear the status of a substitute.

But next year, his strength will be further improved, and the team will also win the championship...

If Griffin is allowed to play as a substitute at that time, he may be in a mood!

[[-]% can't keep it...]

Shen Fei thought to himself.

He knows very well that twisted melons are not sweet.

For a person with Griffin's personality, if you can't meet his main requirements, it will be difficult to keep him.

Of course, these are things to come...

At least for now, Griffin is still happy in the Rockets.

Shen Fei was also very happy to see that he fully demonstrated his ability on the field.

When the season is over, Shen Fei will find an opportunity to have an open and honest chat with Griffin about the future.

............

After a short break, the second quarter began.

After a short 2-minute break, Nowitzki went into battle again!
