super point guard

Chapter 182 German Tanks Fire

"It turns out that it is so simple to deal with Jason Terry who kills a thousand enemies and loses eight hundred. You just need to let him go out of the game." Xu Nuo said before the start of the second quarter.

"Don't underestimate the Dallas Mavericks because of this!" Danny Granger said to Xu Xu with a serious face, "Dallas is a very strong team."

"I know," Promise said, "they beat the Miami Heat to be crowned the league champion last season, but tonight, the victory will be ours!"

Danny Granger couldn't help shaking his head as he looked at Xu Xu.

Then Coach Larry Brown came over.

"Promise, do you feel okay now?" Coach Larry Brown asked Promise, "I mean the one Jason Terry threw you just now."

"No problem!" Xu Nuo nodded.

"Very good!" Coach Larry Brown nodded, "Let's play!"

Since Jason Terry, the sixth man of the Dallas Mavericks team, was called two technical fouls in the first quarter and was directly ejected, so at the beginning of the second quarter, the Dallas Mavericks head coach could only send The lineup featured point guard Delonte West, shooting guard Vince Carter, small forward Lamar Odom, power forward Dirk Nowitzki and center Ian Mahinmi. Contest.Now that the Dallas Mavericks had their ace player Dirk Nowitzki, coach Larry Brown used the defensive tough Tyler Hansbrough to defend Dirk Nowitzki.

But this did not stop Dirk Nowitzki. Not long after the start of the second quarter, Dirk Nowitzki hit an outside three-pointer and assisted Vince Carter to score a mid-range shot.The Dallas Mavericks scored five points in a row to overtake the Indiana Pacers by two points with 27:25.

"Don't worry, stabilize the rhythm of the game and play positional warfare slowly!" Coach Larry Brown said loudly from the side of the court.

"Fight with those old arms and old legs of the Dallas Mavericks?" Xu Nuo frowned and thought, "In this way, they must have the advantage instead of us. It seems that it is better to play fast break..."

Xu Nuo was thinking in this way, and with a slight flick of his wrist, the ball flew out close to the ground.After brushing the floor, the ball came to OJ Mayo on the outside. OJ Mayo tricked the already old Vince Carter with fake moves, and made a mid-range shot to tie the score.

"It's a pity that it was an assist..." Xu Nuo shook his head slightly and said to himself.

Offensively, Delonte West continued to hand the ball to Dirk Nowitzki.That's when Lamar Odom made a sudden cut to the basket, Dirk Nowitzki made an immediate pass, Lamar Odom scored a layup against Ronnie Turiaf's defense, Dallas The Mavs took the lead again.

Since the start of the second quarter, all of the Dallas Mavericks' scoring has involved Dirk Nowitzki.At this moment, Xu Nuo suddenly had an idea in his heart: Dirk Nowitzki is going to fire!

Sure enough, Dirk Nowitzki soon made another Golden Rooster stand-alone fadeaway jumper, and the Dallas Mavericks had already led the Indiana Pacers by four points with 31:27.After the start of the second quarter, the Dallas Mavericks played a 3:9 offensive spurt in 2 minutes.

Coach Larry Brown frowned, got up and asked for a long timeout.

"Now the Dallas Mavericks' offense is completely dependent on Dirk Nowitzki, so we must keep a close eye on Dirk Nowitzki!" Coach Larry Brown said, "Taylor, don't worry about your fouls. , no matter how hard you try to defend, you must restrain Dirk Nowitzki no matter what!"

"Understood!" Tyler Hansbrough nodded.

Then Coach Larry Brown looked at Ronnie Turiaf.

"Ronnie, how's your opponent Ian Mahinmi? Easy enough?" Coach Larry Brown asked.

"That boy, I can crush him with one hand!" Ronnie Turiaf said gruffly.

"Very good!" Coach Larry Brown nodded and said, "Now I will give you another task. You must be ready to pinch Dirk Nowitzki on the court at any time!"

"Got it!" Ronny Turiaf exclaimed.

In the end, coach Larry Brown brought Danny Granger on again, replacing Rudy Fernandez.

The Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle did not make any personnel adjustments and continued to maintain the player lineup on the court.therefore.For the Indiana Pacers, defending Dirk Nowitzki has become the team's top priority now.

Tyler Hansbrough, who was responsible for defending Dirk Nowitzki on the court, did not disappoint Coach Larry Brown and successfully restricted Dirk Nowitzki's shots twice in a row.Not long after Danny Granger came on the field, he received a promised pass and made an outside three-pointer, helping the team rewrite the score on the field to 30:31. The gap between the two teams was almost the same.

Although the Indiana Pacers used Tyler Hansbrough to defend Dirk Nowitzki, it seems impossible to completely freeze Dirk Nowitzki, who has scored [-] points in his career.Dirk Nowitzki received a pass from Delonte West and made an outside three-pointer, and he has scored eight points in a single quarter.However, Xu Nuo soon assisted Ronnie Turiaf to score a dunk and got his fourth assist in this game, but Xu Nuo has still not scored a point so far.

The game began to enter a stalemate.

After receiving a pass from Lamar Odom near the left edge of the rim, Dirk Nowitzki dribbled a few steps with Tyler Hansbrough on his back and then another Golden Rooster stand-alone A fallback jumper was hit, the score on the field was rewritten to 32:36, and the point difference returned to four points.

"It's amazing!" Xu Nuo shook his head and sighed.

"You can use your own score to offset his score." OJ Mayo said to Xu Xu.

Xu Nuo shook his head.

"Maybe this is what Danny is going to do?" Xu Nuo said, "Furthermore, if we only fight for points, we can't beat this German tank. We should think of other ways."

"Irvington, promise, stop talking there, and attack quickly!" Coach Larry Brown said loudly standing on the side of the court.

Xu Nuo hurriedly passed the ball to the frontcourt, avoiding the mistake that the ball still failed to reach the frontcourt within eight seconds.After receiving the ball, Danny Granger didn't make any more passes, and shot directly from outside the three-point line.The ball hit the basket's neck with a "boom" and bounced high.

"Rebound!" Danny Granger yelled.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed in the sky, but it was gone when I looked again.Danny Granger took one look, promised to get the ball in mid-air, twisted his body, and passed the ball to Ronnie Turiaf at the basket.Ronnie Turiaf immediately took the ball and dunked it, and Xu Nuo was thrown straight out of the court, colliding with the cameramen sitting near the baseline.

"It's okay, buddy!" Xu Nuo said with a smile to the unlucky photographer who was hit by him.

"Are you okay, Xu Nuo?" Danny Granger stretched out his hand to pull Xu Nuo up from the floor, while asking Xu Nuo with some uneasiness. After all, Xu Nuo had already fallen like this once in the first quarter.

"It's okay!" Xu Nuo said with a smile while pressing his waist uncomfortably.

And all of this was seen by Coach Larry Brown.

"Maybe we should take the promise off the field and take a break!" The team's chief assistant coach, Coach Brian Shaw, said to Coach Larry Brown.

Coach Larry Brown nodded slowly.

Dirk Nowitzki had the ball again, this time when Dirk Nowitzki drove for a layup and drew a foul on Tyler Hansbrough.Dirk Nowitzki made a solid extra free throw to give the Mavericks a five-point lead over the Indiana Pacers with 39:34 to go.The Dallas Mavericks scored [-] points in this quarter, and Dirk Nowitzki has scored [-] of them!

After Dirk Nowitzki made an additional free throw, coach Larry Brown began to make substitutions, replacing Xu Nuo and Ronnie Turiaf with Darren Collison and Roy Hibbert.The Dallas Mavericks also made substitutions. Dirk Nowitzki could finally rest and Sean Marion came on the field, so Lamar Odom would replace him at power forward.In addition, Jason Kidd replaced Delonte West playing.

"Promise, is there nothing wrong with your waist?" Coach Larry Brown walked over immediately after Promise ended and asked Promise thoughtfully.

"It's okay!" Xu Nuo said.

"Really?" Coach Larry Brown continued to ask, the worry on his face still not gone.

"It's really nothing, it just feels a little stiff." Xu Nuo said with a smile.

But Coach Larry Brown still looked very worried and asked team doctor Saunders Conkel to check Promise's body.Until the end of the first half, Xu Nuo didn't get even one minute of playing time. He got five assists in the first half and didn't score.

And because Dirk Nowitzki wasn't on the court, the Dallas Mavericks' offense wasn't very good, scoring only six points with Dirk Nowitzki off the court.At the end of the first half, the Dallas Mavericks entered the intermission with a one-point lead over the Indiana Pacers 45:44.

"Let's decide the outcome in the second half of the game!" At this time, the players of the two teams must be thinking this way, including promises, including scoring [-] points in a single quarter and scoring [-] points in the half. Dirk Nowitzki.
