I'm going to be a star this time

Chapter 132 128 Still Hopeful
The three points of the text name can still be entered.

This three-point hit continued to save the Bulls.

Looking back, the Mavericks organized an offense. This time the Mavericks chose to attack the inside, and Nowitzki singled Boozer with the ball.

Boozer's defense is in place, Nowitzki has no sweetness, and his shooting opportunities are not good. After hitting the inside with his back, he can't make a shot.

Dirk Nowitzki holds the ball and passes at a choice opportunity.

At this moment, a figure arrived.

While throwing off Marion, Wen Ming ran in front of Nowitzki, and with a swipe, broke the ball from Nowitzki's hand.

"bump!"

Rose stood on the three-point line, grabbed the intercepted ball, turned around and started to counterattack defensively.

The Bulls' defensive counterattack came very quickly. Marion and Kidd's reaction was not slow, but it was still slow compared to Rose.

Rose continued to drive to the basket and dunked again.

At this time, the Bulls scored 5 points in a row, reducing the difference between the two sides to 5 points.

The Bulls fans cheered. The Bulls played very well at this time.

"Yes! Just do it!"

Thibodeau clapped his hands on the sidelines and signaled to do so.

Kidd passed the ball to Terry. After Terry broke through and attracted a double team, he passed the ball to Nowitzki. Nowitzki hit the board again.

In the first half of the third quarter, the two sides played back and forth and scored each other, but the Bulls narrowed the point difference to about 5 points.

The fans at the scene were very excited, and felt that this game was really worth watching.

But everyone in the commentary booth didn't feel so good. Although the Bulls recovered 5 points, they stopped after that, and there was no further downward trend. If this continues, the Bulls will still lose.

In today's game, it can be said that the Mavericks played very well.

At this time, Nowitzki and Marion had finished three quarters, and they didn't have a long rest together. They basically finished playing in 8 minutes.

Carlisle was worried, whether or not Nowitzki should rest.

If Nowitzki is rested, the lead the Mavericks have gained during this period will be in vain.

A 5-point difference is not safe. If Wen Ming is allowed to make two more shots, it will be smoothed out and overtaken.

And this game is so critical for the Mavericks, they must win the game.

Boozer missed a hook in the frontcourt, and Chandler got a rebound from the backcourt.

Chance for the Mavericks.

Kidd held the ball at the top of the arc, and after a few dribbles under the crotch, he swung his teammates straight to run.

Terry came out over the defense to catch the ball.

After receiving the ball, Terry faced Brewer's defense and continued to rush inside.

At this time, Boozer came out to help defend, which directly gave Nowitzki an open opportunity.

Terry flicked the ball to Nowitzki.

Mavericks fans are ready to start cheering.

This time he had to attract Noah who was standing under the basket.

When Noah came out to defend Nowitzki, Nowitzki made a false shot and passed it to Chandler under the basket, and the unguarded basket took off and dunked successfully.

The score actually opened up again.

This time Wen Ming threw the ball and faced Marion alone, and still made a three-pointer, but this time the interference was serious and the shot missed.

This is Wen Ming's first missed three-pointer in this game.

"He missed the [-]-pointer!"

Several people in the commentary booth expressed surprise.

Chandler got the rebound and the Mavericks played a quick counterattack.

The Bulls retreated quickly, and the Mavericks didn't have any good offensive opportunities.

Kidd signaled Marion from the outside to come over for the pick-and-roll, and after the split, Kidd faced Wen Ming directly.

Kidd continued to rush in without hesitation, but he did not get past Wen Ming's defense.

Forced pass to Terry.

Terry chose to shoot directly from the middle distance, and this two-pointer was still hit!

The score continued to expand to 9 points, and the distance that had been narrowed was widened again.

The Bulls fans wailed, while the Mavericks were overjoyed. Cuban kept waving flags, shouting, and cheering on the sidelines.

Rose played singles with the ball in the frontcourt, faced Kidd, easily reached the basket, scored two points for a layup, and continued to help the Bulls narrow the point difference.

The Mavericks were on the verge of scoring, and Nowitzki opened up the distance in the frontcourt, stood outside the three-point line and made an open three-pointer, and it made a hit!
The difference between the two sides came to 10 points!
Thibodeau was about to explode on the sidelines, and the situation that was getting better and better started to get worse again.

Then Thibodeau called a timeout, and the Bulls returned to the regular lineup.

In the next third quarter, the two sides continued to fight back and forth.

Marion, Nowitzki, and Terry all scored a lot of points, and the Bulls did not narrow the score back to less than 5 points.

At the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks led the Bulls by 85 points 78-7, and the two sides entered the final quarter.

Carlisle, who was on the sidelines, was sweating unknowingly.

The whole person is in a state of high attention, and when he relaxes, he feels some cold sweat on his body.

The Mavericks withstood the Bulls' counterattack in the first three quarters.

The game continued in the fourth quarter.

At this time, Carlisle had to put Nowitzki off the court to rest for 2 minutes, otherwise Nowitzki would not be able to bear it if he continued to play like this.

Peja Stojakovic is substituted.

The Bulls continue to play the regular season starters.

As soon as the game started, Terry of the Mavericks used Peja Stojakovic's pick-and-roll to rush in, passed Noah who was defending under the basket, and made a backhand shot.

Luol Deng missed a forced shot from the frontcourt, and Chandler got a rebound from the backcourt.

Continue to organize the offense with the ball in the frontcourt, use Marion's pick-and-roll to break through to the inside, and face Boozer who is helping to defend, throw a shot.

"bump!"

The ball was a bit unlucky and bounced out after hitting the basket.

Noah took the defensive rebound.

Seeing this, the Mavericks prepared to retreat, but at this time, Noah actually slammed the ball directly under the basket and threw it out.

At this time, Luol Deng had already run to the basket in the frontcourt and received the ball in his hands.

Then score an easy layup.

The difference between the two sides is still 7 points.

The Mavericks attacked in the frontcourt, Terry was double-teamed with the ball, and then gave the ball to Kidd.

Wen Ming made a quick save and made a steal.

After the steal, Wen Ming played fast break with Rose.

Marion returned quickly.

In an instant, the two sides formed a 2-on-1 situation.

Wen Ming passed the ball to Rose while walking, and Rose easily reached the basket, gliding and dunking, adding 2 points for the Bulls.

The point difference narrowed to 5 points.

This time, Carlisle had to call a timeout and Nowitzki was replaced.

Although it has been 2 minutes, Nowitzki can rest for a while, and then he will perform better after playing.

"The Bulls have done a good job defensively, and they still have hope for a comeback."

The game continues.

Nowitzki faced Boozer with the ball after he came on.

Boozer continued to defend Dirk Nowitzki with all his strength. Today, Boozer has only played for more than 20 minutes. For Dirk Nowitzki, who has played for more than 30 minutes, his physical strength is quite sufficient.

Nowitzki couldn't stand Boozer several times in a row and chose to force his shot.

The golden rooster is independent!

"bump!"

It's a pity that the ball was a little short. After Rose got the rebound in the backcourt, he played a quick offense. In the frontcourt, the Mavericks had already returned to defense, so he passed the ball to Wen Ming.

Wen Ming holds the ball at the top of the arc to control the offensive rhythm.
