Legendary basketball manager

After another 2 minutes, the two sides still come and go, not giving in to each other.

The Rockets can't guard Nowitzki, and the Mavericks can't guard McGrady.

On the sidelines, Mark Jackson stood up from the coach's bench and gestured to the players.

On the next possession, when Nowitzki received the ball in the low post again, George decisively left Marion and rushed to the low post to help Ben Wallace defend.

Nowitzki did not hesitate and passed the ball.

But Marion did not make a decisive shot after receiving the ball.

After all, there are less than 3 minutes left before the end of the game, and every round is crucial.

Coupled with the fact that the position of receiving the ball is outside the three-point line, Marion does not have enough confidence in his long-range shots.

And when he hesitated, the Rockets' defensive rotation was already in place.

In desperation, Marion had to pass the ball back to Kidd for the latter to reorganize.

But the total shot time was 24 seconds, Kidd got the ball again, and the number on the timer had jumped to 6.

Fortunately, at this time Terry came out with the help of a screen and opened his hands for the ball.

Kidd flicked his wrist and passed the ball.

However, Terry didn't have a chance to shoot directly after receiving the ball, because Curry followed him like a shadow.

Seeing that time was running out, Terry dribbled the ball under his crotch and switched to his left hand, then stepped out with his left foot, made a shuffling dribble, and made a breakthrough.

The next moment, he suddenly changed his move, changed into a shot, and shot a jumper.

Curry was not deceived, he jumped up and blocked the shot!

But Terry's shot is so fast that the basketball almost flies past Curry's fingertips...

"Shu~"

Basketball hits the net!

The moment the ball was scored, the red light on the timer came on.

This is a buzzer shot!

114:117, the Mavericks narrowed the point difference to 3 points.

Mark Jackson decisively invoked a timeout.

At this time, there are still 2 minutes and 15 seconds before the end of the game.

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

During the banquet, the Rockets bench.

"We defended very well just now, continue to defend like this!"

"As long as Nowitzki hits the ball, the first time to pinch, the others quickly take turns. The best situation is to let Marion complete the final shot!"

Mark Jackson first emphasized defense.

The rocket generals nodded one after another.

Except that Curry still blamed himself for not defending, the other players were quite satisfied with the defense just now.

"We will attack in a while, Ben, you go down and rest first, Blake, you are ready to play."

Mark Jackson arranged.

Griffin was taken aback when he heard the words, and the next moment, he immediately responded loudly: "No problem, coach!"

It can be seen that he was very surprised that he got the chance to play at a critical moment.

Mark Jackson actually had his own considerations.

Although Griffin's ability to protect the frame is weak, his finishing ability on the offensive end is very strong.

Neither Ben Wallace nor Yi Jianlian can compare to "White Warcraft" in this respect.

Secondly, Griffin doesn't have many opportunities to play in this series, and the Mavericks may lack defense against him.

Simply put...Mark Jackson wants Griffin to be amazing.

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

The pause ends soon.

When Griffin stepped onto the court, not only the Mavericks players were surprised, but even Shen and Yao, who were watching the game in the locker room, were a little surprised.

"Is this a trick you gave him?"

Yao Ming asked curiously.

Generally speaking, when Mark Jackson made some unexpected moves, Shen Fei was behind it all.

Shen Fei shook his head: "Mark must have his own considerations, just trust him."

Shen Fei has always been very clear about one thing - Mark Jackson is a professional coach, but he is not.

He did stand from the perspective of a traveler and gave Mark Jackson a lot of good advice.

But this does not mean that his coaching ability is stronger than Mark Jackson.

In the future, Shen Fei also plans to let Mark Jackson serve as the coach of the Huaxia men's basketball team.

If the latter didn't have his own thinking and would only obey him, Shen Fei would decisively replace him.

A sudden move like replacing Griffin today is what Shen Fei wants to see.

What he hopes is that Mark Jackson can become a better coach than in the original time and space after his many calls.

In this way, the Huaxia men's basketball team's road to gold can also be easier.

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

The game restarted, and Curry served from the sideline.

McGrady wanted to use the cover to catch the ball outside, but the Mavericks also started to attack the defense.

Under the double-teaming of Marion and Nowitzki, T-MAC didn't have any chance to catch the ball.

Curry waited and waited, but couldn't find a chance to pass the ball.

At the same time, the Mavericks fans at the scene began to cheer for the home team with uniform slogans:

"Defense!!!"

"Defense!!!"

"Defense!!!"

......

There is no doubt that under such noise, the mentality of the players can easily become impatient.

And the more urgent it is, the harder it is to spot potential opportunities!

Mark Jackson on the sidelines realized that the situation was wrong and was ready to call another timeout.

But before he had time to signal to the technical station, Curry suddenly shot...

With a flick of his wrist, a long pass seemed to go directly to the basket!

[? ? ? ]

Many players have doubts about Curry's passing.

But the next moment, a white figure appeared out of nowhere, leaped high, and caught the basketball at the same level as the basket...

"BANG!"

A powerful flat-frame dunk directly made the scene instantly silent.

And it was Griffin who had just been replaced to complete the dunk.

It has to be said that Griffin tried his best to dunk the basket.

Perhaps because he jumped too high, after completing the dunk, he actually used his elbow to hang the basket, reproducing Carter's behavior in the dunk contest that year.

After the goal was scored, the score became 114:119.

Carlisle decisively called a timeout.

After the timeout ended, Griffin was replaced by Big Ben again.

Kidd serves from the sideline.

The other Mavericks players started to move according to the tactics.

Nowitzki's treatment is the same as McGrady's - double attack.

Therefore, the final opportunity appeared in the hands of Terry.

After receiving the ball, he raised his hand to signal his teammates to pull away, and he wanted to single Curry!

Curry dismounted, arms outstretched, and focused.

The opponent picked him as the target of attack at such a critical moment, obviously thinking that Curry is the weak link of the Rockets' defense.

For this, Curry admitted but was still unhappy.

He went up close to him and kept reaching out to interfere with Terry's dribble.

Curry really knows... At this moment, as long as the action is not too outrageous, the referee will not blow it.

Under its interference, Terry did not enter the attack rhythm for a while, and could only retreat while looking for opportunities.

The attack time is passing by every second, and Terry knows very well that at this moment the team not only needs to score goals, but also needs to score quickly.

[Fight! ]

He gritted his teeth and forced a breakthrough from the right.

Curry moved laterally to block and always maintained a good defensive position.

Terry moved forward in a straight line, dribbling almost into a lateral dribble.

After finally rushing to the three-point line and entering the shooting range, Terry made a desperate pull-up jump shot...

Curry took off to block the shot, but was limited by his jumping ability and failed to block the shot.

But under his interference, Terry's shooting was far from the standard. As soon as the ball went out, the CCTV commentator yelled that it was missed.

"Duang!"

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

But then, an unexpected scene appeared...

The three major rebounders in the penalty area-Ben Wallace, Yi Jianlian, and Chandler, didn't even grab the rebound.

On the contrary, Nowitzki, who is not good at rebounding, is just in the position where the basketball falls at the moment.

He leaps up, catches the ball in the air, and takes the shot...

"Shu~"

Basketball hollow into the net!

At 116:119, the point difference returned to within one round again.

Offensive and defensive transition, Curry held the ball through the half court and came to the top of the arc to organize.

McGrady used the cover to catch the ball, but while receiving the ball, he was flanked by the Mavericks.

T-MAC moved the ball quickly.

Big Ben, who doesn't let it go, holds the ball near the free throw line.

In this position, he does not have the ability to shoot.But going further in, the restricted area guarded by Chandler is also difficult to capture.

Ben Wallace had no choice but to dribble out and move hand-to-hand with Curry.

But Terry obviously made full preparations this time. By moving ahead of time, he successfully grabbed the cover.

After Curry didn't get a chance to shoot directly, he simply took a step back, and then raised his hand to signal his teammates to pull away.

This scene is like a replica of the previous round, the difference is that the offensive and defensive sides have changed hands.

Terry also adopted a close-fitting defensive strategy, wanting Curry to feel the predicament he just had.

But Curry's ability to dribble to create space is unmatched by the Jets.

Rocket No. 30 made continuous crotch dribbles and easily pushed Terry back.

When the latter adjusted his center of gravity and pounced on again, Curry dribbled the ball behind his back with a smart and large size, and Terry was completely shaken away.

Then, Curry made a sideways move and made a decisive shot from beyond the three-point line!

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

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

At 116:122, the point difference came to 6 points again.

At this time, there is only 1 minute and 15 seconds left before the end of the game!

It stands to reason that the Mavericks were already standing on the edge of the cliff at this time.

But the strange thing is that there is still no panic on the faces of the players.

A few old boys took advantage of the gap between servings to exchange tactics, with determination in their eyes.

Easy side to fight again, Nowitzki is in the low position.

Marion this time fell on the same side as Nuo Tianwang.

In this way, George did not dare to double-team easily.

Because letting go of the offensive player on the strong side (the side with the ball) is extremely risky.

The double-teamed player does not need to make a wide range of transfers, and the safety and speed of the pass are greatly improved.

Therefore, after Nowitzki received the ball, George only took two steps closer to the latter.

Seeing this, Marion started decisively and threw it from the bottom line to the other side of the field.

George had no choice but to follow.

But Pickled Pepper kept an eye out. After following Marion out of the penalty area, he suddenly turned back and returned to Nowitzki again.

Marion was shocked, and rushed back to the restricted area, raising his hand to respond.

Facing the flank attack, Nowitzki was calm and calm, and passed the ball to Marion who cut inside at the right time.

At this time, the impact of Yao Ming's end appeared.

Although Yi Jianlian and Daben are both excellent jumpers, they are still a bit short in absolute height.

Now the two were blocked by Nowitzki and Chandler respectively, unable to take off in time, and naturally they could not prevent Marion from completing a layup.

To make matters worse, Yi Jianlian forcibly jumped through Chandler, but was called a foul by the referee.

Two points scored, but also an additional penalty (but not on Marion)!

Allen shook his head angrily.

Although he has Rodman's scrambling ability, he lacks the competition experience of the big bug.

This senseless foul is the price of youth.

Chandler walked to the free throw line and made the extra free throw.

119: 122!

In the transition between offense and defense, McGrady directly advances with the ball from the backcourt.

After halftime, he stopped near the middle circle.

When the number on the timer changed to 7, McGrady moved!

But as soon as he accelerated, Kidd had already rushed over, forming a siege with Marion.

Seeing this, McGrady jumped high and found George who was emptied in the air.

"hiss..."

After the ball was passed, McGrady had an unnatural expression, and touched his back with his right hand.

At the same time, George made a decisive shot after receiving the pass...

"Duang!"

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

Yi Jianlian jumped up and took off the rebound.

But before he landed on the ground, before he could make the next move, a big hand stretched out to the basketball in his arms...

"Snapped!"

It's Kidd!

With quick eyes and quick hands, he dropped the basketball in Yi Jianlian's hand with a knife.

Terry immediately took control of the ball, and the Mavericks took advantage of the opportunity to launch a counterattack!

During the fast break, Nowitzki received a pass from Terry and resolutely made a shot from outside the three-point line...

!

122:122, the two sides fought to a tie at the last moment!

Mark Jackson decisively called a timeout.

As players from both sides walked to the benches, the American Airlines Center resounded with the voice of MVP.

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

"Are you ok?"

Curry asked McGrady while sipping a sports drink.

He was the closest just now, so he noticed the subtle change in T-MAC's expression.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Maddie said lightly.

Since this is the last chance for the Rockets to pause, Mark Jackson arranged both offensive and defensive tactics.

He doesn't know if the players can remember clearly, and how much they can remember.

Therefore, the Rockets coach added at the end: "In the end, if you don't know what to do, give the ball to Tracy."

The rocket generals nodded one after another.

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

The time-out is over and the game continues.

In the last 30 seconds, George served from the sideline.

Using the cover of his teammates, McGrady finally got rid of the layers of containment this time and received a pass from the outside.

Then, everyone pulled away, leaving the stage to T-MAC and Marion.

McGrady still starts with a dribble under his crotch, and while dribbling close, he observes the Mavericks' defensive arrangement...
