Chapter 131 Fighting Nuo Tianwang Again ([-]) (Today's [-]nd update)
"It has been detected that the host is about to start a second fateful duel with the historical superstar Dirk Nowitzki, so the system has issued a temporary mission 'Travel to Tiger Mountain again'!"

"'Traveling to Tiger Mountain Again': The host's duel with Nowitzki last time was a classic. When the host meets this fateful opponent again, he is bound to face a stronger challenge... So, don't be afraid, and fight him bravely!"

"Specific requirements:
1. The host's team must beat Nowitzki's team in this game;
2. The score, rebounds and assists of the host must all be higher than Nowitzki;

3. The host's shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage and free throw percentage must all be higher than Nowitzki;

Reward for completing the task: Nowitzki's S-level star skill 'Golden Rooster Independence'! "

"Golden Rooster Independence (S-level): The unique stunt of the legendary Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki. This skill is a passive skill. After the host is equipped with this skill, the backward range increases by 5%-8% when shooting backwards, reduces opponent interference by 10%, and improves shooting stability by 10% (equipping the skill will not change the host's original shooting action)."

"Note: Since Nowitzki has not reached the peak of his career, he will temporarily have the state of the 2006-2007 season in this game. Please be careful with the host!"

After Wang Dalin saw the title of the task, he couldn't help complaining in his heart: "'Travel to Tiger Mountain again'? Do you want another 'Legend of the Condor Heroes' or 'Heroes Huo Yuanjia'?"

When he saw the task reward again, he had only one thought - "I finally waited for this day!"

Since crossing, Wang Dalin thought that the most suitable stunt for him was "Golden Rooster Independence", because he has a height very close to Nowitzki and has a better wingspan than him.

If he was overjoyed to get "Madi Ganba" at the beginning, now that he has the opportunity to get "Golden Rooster Independence", the joy in his heart is simply indescribable... Well, I haven't got it yet, low-key!low key!

In the 2006-2007 season, Nowitzki has entered the peak of his career and is indeed very powerful, but Wang Dalin still has a big killer on him-"God Slayer Badge"!
If it was Nowitzki of this period, his badge would be useless at all, but in this game he will face Nowitzki at his peak, he is a proper S-class superstar, and the "God Slayer Badge" will naturally come in handy.

Think about the description of this badge... After assembling this badge, the host will exude a certain degree of deterrence when facing any S-level star, which can cause the opponent's status to randomly drop by 3%-10%!

Although the "Old Driver" in the 2006-2007 season won the first MVP trophy in his career, his "Golden Rooster Independence" has not yet been practiced, so he is not as strong as in the 2010-2011 season.

That's why Wang Dalin thinks... his own strength is not impressive, plus the restriction on Nowitzki by the "God Slayer Badge", this PK may not be lost!

After the warm-up, Wang Dalin took the initiative to exchange a few words with Carlisle in a low voice, and Carlisle immediately showed an incredible expression.

This guy even took the initiative to ask to play the fourth position, and he wanted to play against Nowitzki!

Before the game, Carlisle had already made sufficient tactical arrangements, but Wang Dalin suddenly proposed to play the fourth position, which made him a little unexpected.

Fortunately, Clifford Robinson's swing ability is very strong, and it is not impossible to swing from the fourth position to the third position, so Carlisle quickly rearranged it, and the starting five tigers of both sides made their debut.

Mavericks starting this game are center Sean Bradley, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, small forward Michael Finley, shooting guard Greg Buckner and point guard Steve Nash.

The Pistons' starting lineup has changed a bit, namely center Ben Wallace, power forward Wang Dalin, small forward Clifford Robinson, shooting guard Richard Hamilton, and point guard Chauncey Billups.

In fact, there is no change in the offensive end of Wang Dalin playing the fourth position. He is still used to attacking from the outside, but on the defensive end, he will defend Nowitzki on the whole court.

Facing the "big bamboo pole" Bradley with a height of 229cm, Da Ben could only show a wry smile when jumping the ball... This guy is so tall, no matter how much I can jump, I can't jump him!
Currently the highest player in the league is Bradley, and Wang Dalin was very impressed with him back then... After all, there are not many in NBA history who are taller than Yao Ming.

However, "Big Bamboo Pole" is only tall and has a good defensive awareness. Unfortunately, his strength is too hip, so he often becomes the "background board" for being dunked... For example, the most exciting dunk of McGrady's career was dunked on this guy's shoulder.

……

Nash dribbled the ball steadily across the midfield line, and the Mavericks players immediately began to cross positions. Nowitzki made an off-ball screen for Finley. Nash immediately passed the ball with a flick of his wrist.

Billups couldn't help but secretly startled, not because of Finley's dunk, but because of Nash's pass.

Nash passed the ball too covertly, it was completely unbelievable. He stood in front of him and didn't even see what happened just now.

If you compare who is better at passing the ball between Kidd and Nash, it is estimated that many fans will find it difficult to draw conclusions, but if you ask them which one of the passes is "more flamboyant", it is estimated that everyone will vote for Nash.

Billups, who has always been known for his "simpleness", even in his peak period, he would definitely not be able to pass such a ball.

Looking back, Billups wanted to pay Nash back, so he didn't stop the ball after dribbling to the frontcourt, and didn't pass the ball. Instead, he pushed Nash directly from the right to the three-second zone.

How can Nash's small body stand up to Billups?

I saw that Billups made two sudden steps and immediately stopped for a jumper. Nash was pushed back two steps by him, unable to interfere at all, and the goal was scored without any suspense.

When it was the Mavericks' turn to attack, Nash and Nowitzki played a pick-and-roll, which caused the Pistons a lot of trouble when they faced each other last time.

This is also normal... Nash's breakthrough is quite sharp and his shooting ability is strong, and Nowitzki's shooting ability is not much better. No matter who gets the ball, he has a very strong offensive threat.

There is one thing to say, they play pick-and-rolls, and their power is no less than that of the Jazz Malone and Stockton.

So Wang Dalin went around the cover directly, resolutely refused to change positions, and would rather let Nash go to the Billups, but also stick to Nowitzki.

In the final analysis, the most offensive firepower of this Mavericks team is the "old driver", and today's "old driver" is still an enhanced version.

Billups was blocked by Nowitzki for less than 0.5 seconds. Nash flashed past him like a gust of wind.

Nash made two free throws steadily, and Billups looked depressed.

If the opponent plays hard with him, his physical condition is not worth it, but a point guard with such technical speed as Nash is precisely Billups' biggest headache.

That is to say, Billups' defensive skills are not yet fully developed. If the time is pushed back two years, his defensive position will be more reasonable.

Wang Dalin patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Second brother, you don't have to stick so close to defend Steve!"

Billups asked: "What if he doesn't get close to his shot? Steve's three-pointer is very accurate!"

Wang Dalin said with a smile: "Is it more accurate than him rushing to the basket? And even if you let him shoot, can he not pass the ball to his teammates for the entire game?"

Billups' eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face.

Yes, why didn't I think of it?
With Nash's selfless style of play, even if the head coach Nelson asked him to let go of his hands and feet, he probably couldn't control his desire to pass the ball!
The pace of the game on both sides was very fast. The first quarter lasted about 9 minutes, and the two teams fought at 22:22.

Old Nelson took the lead in calling a timeout to make adjustments. Nowitzki and Nash took a rest and replaced them with Juwan Howard and Tim Hardaway.

At the same time, Carlisle also made tit-for-tat adjustments, replacing Wang Dalin, Billups and Robinson, and replaced Williams, Atkins and Joan Barry.

In the first quarter of the game, the Mavericks were mainly attacking by Nash, and Finley occasionally cut to the basket. Nowitzki only made two shots and hit a goal under Wang Dalin's desperate interference.

Carlisle and Nelson seemed to have a tacit understanding in this game, and they both chose to preserve their strength as much as possible at the beginning of the game.

And Nowitzki played so restrained in the first quarter, apart from Wang Dalin always pressing him closely, it is estimated that he himself also meant to save his energy until the second half to decide the outcome.

On the court, Howard, who has not yet been promoted to "Uncle" in the Mavericks, and "Poor Jordan" Finley, both showed good offensive firepower, while the "Detroit Long-distance Running Champion" Hamilton, "Best Sixth Man Candidate" Williams and Atkins on the Pistons side were not far behind.

After the first quarter, the two sides still fought to a draw.

Probably in order to preserve strength as much as possible, Old Nelson dispatched a full bench lineup at the beginning of the second quarter, while Carlisle replaced the three of Wang Dalin and the others in advance, and only replaced Da Ben and Hamilton for a short rest.

At this moment, the lineup of the Pistons is a bit "deformed": center Wang Dalin, power forward Robinson, small forward Williams, shooting guard Barry, and point guard Billups.

Mavericks backup center Danny Manning was selected to the All-Star team twice that year, but he is 35 years old now, how can a pair of old legs run faster than Wang Dalin?

Moreover, with his height of 208cm and his vertical jump almost as high as a Coke bottle, even if Wang Dalin doesn't bully him with speed, just pulling in front of him is enough for him to drink a pot.

The backup point guard Hardaway couldn't withstand Billups' powerful impact at all. He couldn't compare with Billups in terms of height, tonnage or speed... Besides, he is also a 35-year-old guy!

Only Howard and Robinson are evenly matched in the Mavericks' bench lineup. Their skills are a bit similar. They are both strong offensive and defensive power forwards, and both have good shooting ability.

The only difference is that Robinson is more accurate on three-pointers, and "Uncle Huo" is better at mid-range shots.

However, with only "Uncle Huo" alone, it is obviously difficult to beat four hands with two fists. Wang Dalin and the others seized the opportunity and played a small climax of 4:23 in just 12 minutes and 2 seconds.

Old Nelson didn't know what he was thinking, but he even dispatched a full bench lineup at this time. It can be seen that even famous coaches at the NBA's historical level sometimes have IQ arrears.

The score had come to 42:32. Old Nelson didn't dare to be willful anymore, so he quickly called a timeout to make adjustments and replaced all the starting five tigers.

On the Pistons side, Hamilton and Big Ben have also rested for a long time, and re-dressed after the timeout.

In many cases, when the team's lead reaches double digits, the head coach will always push the leading star to the bench to take a good rest, especially in the small ball era of later generations. This situation is very common.

However, most head coaches in this era still prefer to "fuck the main force", even a famous coach like Carlisle is no exception, so he chose to let Wang Dalin stay on the court.

I have to say that Carlisle's arrangement is very wise, because in the 7 minutes and 37 seconds after the second quarter... Nowitzki finally "opened up"!
