Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 279 The Last Struggle
In the Mavericks locker room, head coach Carlisle is using his speech to beat the players.

After all, the team has no choice in tactics. The first half was very hurt, and they were still behind at home.

The Mavericks have actually been suppressed by their opponents, they can only give it a go and wait for a miracle.

It's a pity that even if Carlisle said he had a thick neck, he was not as good as Zhang Sixin's trick.

Of course, even if Zhang Sixin doesn't have the power of cheating now, the Timberwolves are full of fighting spirit.

They are only one step away from entering the stage of the finals. It is normal for young people to be excited.

Zhang Sixin asked the main players of the team to stay focused and play for longer periods of time. The players all patted their chests and said that their physical strength was fine.

With their current stimulants, Zhang Sixin really doesn't need to worry about this issue.

As for how to deal with the Mavericks who are desperate, this is the job of the coaching staff.

Minnesota, Minnesota, Timberwolves fans watching the game live in the arena without players.

In Huaguo, countless fans who regard the Timberwolves as the home team silently supported in front of the TV and computer.

Media reporters from all over the world have already written reports one after another, and they can publish them as soon as possible after the results come out and a little modification.

Compared with the old Mavericks, the league's upstart Timberwolves stepped into the finals stage and competed with the league's new No.1 James, which is the result that officials, including the officials, prefer to see.

More attention, hotter topics, that's what business alliances like.

Neither team made any significant changes, so as soon as the second half came up, the two sides, like the previous games, improved their defensive strength tacitly, and then started scoring more than a minute later.

The rhythm of the game is too similar, with various targets under high intensity, it is very difficult for both teams to score.

Under normal circumstances, this situation lasts for at least half a quarter.

The Mavericks wanted to rely on Nowitzki's personal ability to break the deadlock, while the Timberwolves let the two outside guns attack repeatedly.

It wasn't until more than 4 minutes passed that no one else from the two teams scored.

It was no accident, it was Love who scored the offensive rebound.

If Curry is slightly weaker than Nowitzki, DeRozan is slightly more effective than Terry, and the combination is similar, Love can be regarded as the one who breaks the balance.

When Love arrived in the playoffs, he didn't have the explosive performance in the regular season.

It's not that his mental quality is not good, but his characteristic is that he is easy to bully rookies, and it is difficult to fully play against high-level opponents.

But even so, he is much better than the average player.

The advantage on the rebound and the talent in strength cannot be solved by the Mavericks.

So when Love also performed, it was difficult for the Mavericks to stand up.

What made them even more depressed was that Chandler fouled four times very quickly. He was already at a disadvantage inside, but now he couldn't handle it anymore.

The Mavericks have replaced players step by step. Their current situation can no longer be saved by tactics, so they will not change their style of play, they can only see how far the players can do it.

However, the situation is still not optimistic enough. The Mavericks also have a successful attack, but they have never had a chance to overtake the score.

After Haywood made four fouls on the inside, the Mavericks were forced to use a small lineup.

Nowitzki's five-play lineup was once the Mavericks' trick.

It's just that facing the Timberwolves, there are many players who can attack the inside, and the Mavericks don't dare to use them. After all, a small lineup consumes more of Nowitzki, and there is no benefit and no need to use it.

After the Mavericks use a small lineup, the offense must be more flexible, but the defense is obviously not good.

DeRozan didn't have any scruples when he jumped up, and Nowitzki didn't have an advantage in the interior confrontation, and the Timberwolves lost more rebounds.

But relying on Nowitzki to pull out the inside and let others hit the inside, the Mavericks survived the few minutes without serious inside.

After all, when all players can shoot three-pointers, it is also difficult for the Timberwolves on the defensive end.

The Mavericks' ability to seize opportunities at critical moments is also good, and they don't want to go home to fish yet.

It's just that the Mavericks' emergency lineup can't prevent the Timberwolves, so the Timberwolves' lead has always been there.

With both sides playing the main force, the game soon reached halfway through the final quarter, and the decisive moment came as scheduled.

The Timberwolves switched back to the starting lineup, and the Mavericks also returned to the regular lineup.

But the Mavericks' routine is only relative, because they switched back to the real inside, but the outside is a three-guard.

The Timberwolves' defense is too strong, and the Mavericks can attack with the ball even if they need outside lines.

It's just that doing so may also have adverse consequences. All outsiders can handle the ball, but not all of them can handle the ball correctly.

In the case of increasing the ball holding point, it may also be messed up.

And the defense can also go wrong, the Mavericks just have to take risks.

In a straightforward battle, they really didn't have the confidence to win the victory from the Timberwolves.

However, the Mavericks' three-back tactics did not take advantage.

DeRozan can force it, but Matthews can too. There is no real striker, and the pressure on the inside is even greater.

Two minutes later, the Mavericks replaced Marion again, leaving only Terry the sixth man again.

Fighting back and forth is still the original method, and the Timberwolves will remain unchanged to meet all changes.

At this time, Nowitzki wanted to use his strength, but the Timberwolves really had experience in defense.

Even if Nowitzki can sometimes rely on his super personal ability to score points, he can't succeed in contact.

"Just hold on for a few more minutes, Mavericks has no other choice." Zhang Sixin said firmly.

But the Mavericks also broke out with a strong fighting power at this time, and the veteran Marion stood up.

He hits the rim and kills, and then hits a shot that was previously difficult to hit.

The Mavericks still have some luck, but this can't beat the Timberwolves.

Zhang Sixin encouraged the players on the field, and Chandler's fifth foul occurred on the field.

The Mavericks dare to work hard, the Timberwolves are not bad, and the players on the court are full of fighting spirit.

The Mavericks didn't play Chandler as the game went into the last 2 minutes.

They started betting on three-pointers, and Nowitzki came out to catch the ball and shoot directly.

It's not that the score gap is too large. In fact, the Timberwolves only led by 4 points in the last half of the quarter.

The Mavericks did this because others were not sure about attacking, and Nowitzki had to come outside the three-point line to catch the ball smoothly at this time.

Nowitzki successfully catches the ball, and the Timberwolves will not hesitate to attack at the three-point line, so Nowitzki will make a shot after receiving the ball, and the external situation becomes a three-point bet.

But Nowitzki is Nowitzki, and the second three-point shot was forced and he hit it abruptly.

The Timberwolves' lead was only 1 point left. In the team's offense, DeRozan missed a hit.

But Love took another rebound at a critical moment and scored a second offense.

Zhang Sixin applauded loudly. The Timberwolves have more All-Star players and their strength is stronger. Even if the Mavericks have not lost their fighting spirit and still have a little luck, what can they do in the face of absolute strength?
