NBA bench saves national team

Snapped!

Chandler took the basketball out and it fell straight into Westbrook's hands.

Westbrook quickly dribbled across half court and passed the ball to Durant.

Facing White, Adu has an absolute height advantage, and he pulls a jumper directly against the defense.

bang.

The basketball bounced out of the frame.

Dampier protects the backcourt rebound.

The Mavericks fought back.

Kidd slowly dribbled the ball across half court, and then passed the ball into Nowitzki's hands.

Just like Durant's height advantage over White, Nowitzki also has an absolute dislocation advantage over Jeff Green.

Nuo Tianwang stepped in from the three-point line, using his signature stunt Golden Rooster Independent, to complete a high-arc, high-point shot.

Jeff Green took off desperately, and couldn't even reach Nowitzki's elbow, so he could only watch the basketball fly out.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

Nowitzki wielded his flowing long hair, waved his lower arm lightly, and his eyes were full of determination.

All the teams in the West that entered the playoffs are very envious of the Mavericks, because the Mavericks are facing the Thunder, which has no playoff experience.

Even if Durant and Qin Feng are already top-tier superstars in the league, they still have to pay tuition fees if they have no experience.

Stronger than Chamberlain and Jordan, these NBA historical loudspeakers did not lead the team very far in the playoffs in the first year of their careers, but they were relatively outstanding in terms of personal statistics.

Therefore, in the eyes of the media, fans, and basketball experts, the Mavericks have a great opportunity to complete the next game and eliminate the second-ranked Thunder in the Western Conference to enter the second round of the playoffs.

Today, the Mavericks are running towards this goal.

First win the next game on the road to smooth out the home court advantage, and the subsequent games will be much less psychologically stressful.

It can be seen that the Mavericks entered the state faster at the beginning and played more resolutely.

Unlike the Thunder, the players were completely out of shape because of the tension.

Even Westbrook cast an outrageous three non-stick...

Played for nearly 4 minutes.

13: 4.

The Thunder trailed by 9 points, and only Chandler and Qin Feng scored 2 points each.

The game was in trouble at the beginning.

"The players of the Thunder team seem to be out of shape at all, and they are still a little nervous!"

Barkley, the live commentator, shook his head and said.

"Look at the Thunder's starting lineup. Among the five players, only veteran Chandler has playoff experience. The remaining four players, two second-year picks and two rookies, are not nervous!"

"For this team with no experience in the playoffs, it is understandable that they are in a bad state in the first playoff game of their career."

Another commentator, Smith, said, shaking his head, with no unexpected emotion.

"I hope the Thunder can quickly adapt to the intensity of the playoffs, and then play their due strength and dedicate a wonderful game to us."

"I don't want to be watching an unwatchable game in my first playoff game of the season."

Barkley shook his head and said, a little upset.

On the court, the Thunder are still suppressed by the Mavericks.

Qin Feng is still trying to activate his teammates, but it seems that the effect is not obvious.

After playing for more than half a quarter, the Thunder shot an astonishing 15%, which is ridiculously low.

The Mavericks shot 60 percent from the field.

22: 6.

The Thunder have trailed by 18 points.

The entire arena was silent, and the fans put their hands together in front of their chests, their eyes full of disbelief. Is this still the same Thunder team that played in all directions during the regular season?

The Mavericks, whose emotions are completely opposite to the Thunder's, are completely excited at this time, and every player's morale is high, let alone the Thunder team.

beep!

Thunder coach Brooks couldn't take it anymore, got up and called a timeout.

"Guys, I know you're all nervous. It's my first time in the playoffs, and I'm nervous too."

"But we can't just sit and wait!"

"We have to try to find the state, recover the touch, and then work hard to catch up with the score."

Brooks said that he wanted to sharpen the emotions of the players.

Only when the emotions come up and the nervousness disappears can the competitive state return to normal.

Competitive sports have never been just a technical competition, but also a psychological competition.

The players nodded, but they all frowned and looked anxious.

"Qin, you have to show your strength to help the team."

Brooks said seriously.

When the team is in trouble, they can only count on Qin Feng.

And he could see that at the beginning, Qin Feng still wanted his teammates to feel the atmosphere of the playoffs and let them attack.

Qin Feng played for 6 minutes and only took two shots, obviously he hasn't started to play yet.

"Okay, coach! At the beginning I wanted to let my teammates attack first, but now it seems that I need to take over the game."

Qin Feng said lightly, with strong confidence in his tone.

Durant, Westbrook and others looked sideways, admiring him to the extreme. He deserves to be the strongest rookie candidate in history. What he said is really domineering!

They couldn't help but look forward to Qin Feng's performance.

Pause back.

The Thunder took the lead in attacking.

After Qin Feng dribbled the ball for halftime, he used three offensive threats, continuously changed direction, pulled back and then retreated to outside the three-point line, and directly shot a three-point jumper.

The basketball arced high.

Swish!

Hollow into the net.

The audience finally burst into cheers.

The fans at the scene had been looking forward to this moment for too long.

"Here we come! Is Qin Feng going to start the personal attack mode?"

Barkley said with some excitement.

"I don't know how Qin Feng can perform in this game. After all, this is also his first time participating in the playoffs. I think he didn't attack at the beginning, just to feel the intensity and atmosphere of being familiar with the playoffs."

Smith analyzed, logically.

The Mavericks attack.

After Kidd dribbled through half court, he passed the ball to Josh Howard.

As the Mavericks' second-leading scorer, Howard averaged 19.9 points per game.

He has distinctive characteristics, outstanding offensive ability, certain defensive ability, and no passing ability.

So when he receives the basketball, there is only one task, which is to throw the basketball into the basket and score.

Howard stared at Qin Feng and frowned, but he didn't find any loopholes in the defense!

He started dribbling, changed direction continuously, and made false breakthrough moves, trying to create loopholes in Qin Feng's defense.

Qin Feng was unmoved, and used the [Leonard Death Coil] skill.

Snapped!

Clean and crisp, go straight to steal.

Josh Howard was taken aback for a moment. He was still in the process of dribbling the ball, but suddenly found that his hands were empty.

Looking back, Qin Feng had already launched a fast break. After dribbling halfway, he stopped outside the three-point line and shot a three-pointer.

Swish!

Hollow into the net.

"Beautiful steal! It feels like Qin Feng's double-arm defense can extend into a wall, completely covering Josh Howard."

"This defense is too oppressive."

Barkley said, looking very excited.

This is the game he wants to see the Thunder!

The Mavericks attack.

Nowitzki continued to single Jeff Green and hit a long-range jumper.

Boom!

The basketball bounced out of the frame.

Qin Feng rushed to the penalty area and grabbed the rebound on Dampier's head, full of domineering.

Falling to the ground, without any buffer, he dribbled the ball and rushed towards the frontcourt quickly.

The Mavericks players gathered around one after another.

Nowitzki and Dampier are too slow to watch from behind.

Kidd ran over, and Qin Feng threw him away as soon as he changed direction and accelerated.

Howard rushed over, and Qin Feng quickly turned around and passed him.

Then, he broke White's defense and completed a mid-range jumper near the free throw line.

Scored 8 points in a row.

22: 14!

Qin Feng narrowed the point difference from 2 points to 16 points in less than 8 minutes!

The audience was amazed.
