Chapter 313 Battle Cowboy Part [-]

Chapter 322 Fighting Cowboys Part [-]

In the current Mavericks camp, there is another person who has to be mentioned, Joe's junior, who is also a rookie from North Carolina, was once called "Jordan's successor" before.

Although, in fact, it has also been proved that this is just a gimmick, not a successor to Jordan, he is just Stackhouse.

Although he has averaged more than 20 points per game in his career, that is the past tense after all.

not the present tense.

Now 30 years old, he has already passed his peak period.

However, Stackhouse's mentality is still very good. He is willing to accept the role of the sixth man arranged by the Mavericks to replace the vacancy left by Jamison.

A person like Stackhouse has become a substitute for the Mavericks. It is conceivable how powerful the Mavericks are now.

Although he is not the best in the league, at the very least, with his strength and level, he is definitely qualified to replace Jamison as the sixth man of the Mavericks, and he may be the sixth man of the year. It's not impossible. Judging from Stackhouse's current level, it is definitely not a dream to complete this.

This is very realistic.

This is from a small point of view, but from a large point of view, it is to say that the Mavericks are not underdogs, they are very strong. Years, in the West, are extremely competitive.

Looking back at the history of the Mavericks, you will find that the Mavericks are really not negligible characters.

Compared with the old strong teams like the Lakers and Celtics, the Mavericks are rising stars. They also joined the NBA in the 90s and 80s. In comparison, what is the Mavericks if they are not rookies?
Although it is said that the Mavericks are a rising star, the Mavericks are not simple. He is different from some other rising stars. Every year, they have made progress. In the 15-67 season, their winning percentage exceeded 83%, and they entered the playoffs.

Many people are not so optimistic about the Mavericks after entering the playoffs.

At that time, many people also complained that even if the Mavericks made it to the playoffs, it would be difficult for them to make a big difference. In the first round of their game against the Sonics, they would definitely lose the common people. An inevitable event, however, the Mavericks eliminated the Supersonics in that game, and in the second round, they played against the veteran team Los Angeles Lakers.

Although, in the second round, the Mavericks could not win the game against the Lakers, but such a young Mavericks also won the respect of everyone.

It is true.

Although, in the second round of the season, he lost early.

However, as a new force, the Mavericks made it to the playoffs in the next few years, five consecutive years.

Moreover, in 88, they defeated the Rockets and Nuggets and rushed to the Western Conference finals for the first time. Unfortunately, they met the Lakers again. After seven fierce battles, they still lost and missed the finals.

This is also the most glorious period for the Mavericks.

Although, after this, the Mavericks had a period of low tide, and they began to enter the reconstruction period. The "Three J combination" was quickly dismantled. In 94, Kidd was replaced by the Suns, and the Mavericks got Finley.

And just when the Mavericks fans thought that the Mavericks would continue the rebuilding period like this, at this time, the Mavericks also introduced the old Nelson who will have a huge influence on the Mavericks in the next few years.

The 97-year-old Nelson entered the Mavericks. After a short period of pain, they ushered in a new peak period.

In 2001, they returned to the playoffs stage after an absence of 11 seasons.

Under the leadership of Finley and Nowitzki, they eliminated the Jazz and reached the second round. Unfortunately, in the battle between the Mavericks and the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals, the Mavericks were also outnumbered and were defeated by the Spurs.

Although it was a failure, such a Maverick also gave people hope.

In the future 01-02 season, the Mavericks will also use the American Airlines Arena and change the home arena. The Mavericks will also improve their record and achieve the best record in team history. 57 wins.

Although, it's a pity that the team was also defeated by the Kings in the second round.

However, this did not dampen the confidence of the Mavericks. The Mavericks still faced the difficulties and made a comeback.

In the 02-03 season, the Mavericks expanded their record to 60 wins, reached the Western Conference Finals again, and once again faced off against their old rivals, the Spurs.

This is a classic duel. It can be said that whoever can win this game will win the championship.

Because there was really no one in the West at that time, the Lakers, who were in full swing in the West, were also defeated.

There is really no team that can challenge the West. At this time, the Pacers and Pistons, or the Kings are still too young.

There is no strength at all to wrestle with the strong teams in the West.

And in this battle between cattle and horses, Mavericks also failed to seize this opportunity for revenge. In this much-anticipated duel between cattle and horses, in the end, Mavericks was defeated.

Falling down twice on the same opponent caused the Mavericks a lot of injuries. That's why they ushered in this season's big change and lineup adjustment. Although the expected results were not achieved, the Mavericks' performance this season , Since the start of the game, they have not been out of the top three in the West. Although, many people say that this season, the Mavericks lost Nash and their combat power has been reduced by more than half.

However, judging from the team's record, the same cannot be said.

The current Mavericks are really inferior to the Suns. They are number one in the West, and you are third in the West. It is true, but it is unscientific for you to say that the combat power is halved.

The Mavericks are really underrated.

The Mavericks are really not as bad as the outside world has spread, but they are very strong.

This can be reflected in the calf spirit.

The outside world is generally not optimistic about the Mavericks this season, and many experts from the outside world are questioning how powerful the Mavericks are now?

Faced with the tide of doubts, the Mavericks were unmoved, and continued to play the game on their own, slapping them with their outstanding record.

Even if the Mavericks are against strong opponents in the Upper West such as the Suns and Spurs, they can still beat them. You said that the Mavericks are so weak, isn't it a joke, what is this?

Although the results are not as good as last season, before the team faced the Pacers, they also made a statement that they must win, thinking that they can win by themselves, and they will definitely win.

Nowitzki, the core of the Mavericks team, doesn't have much to say, but Jason Terry still has a lot to say.

In the interviews before the game, he has always been very high-profile. When he was interviewed by the media, when he was asked how he looked at the game against the Pacers, "Every team that has won consecutive victories can be respected, but , It is their misfortune that they face us at this time."

"Are you ready?"

"Your winning streak is over."

……

Jason Terry is so high-profile, so outspoken, naturally he can say such things in the Mavericks camp, as for other people, he can't say that, in the current Mavericks camp, It's just that he is a little more arrogant, a little more arrogant, and a little more outspoken.

However, although Nowitzki and others didn't have much to say that they must defeat, must defeat the Pacers and other nonsense, but the Mavericks' match against the Pacers also made their blood boil.

After all, it is not every day that there are teams that have won 36 games in a row.

This is a rare opportunity. This kind of opportunity to beat a 36-win team, perhaps only once in his career.

If you miss it, it may really be a lifetime thing.

Therefore, for this kind of game, the rest of the Mavericks are also extremely prepared. They are also trying to beat the Pacers and win the final victory of the game.

Just as the Mavericks coach said before the game, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, it will be a lifetime. We must cherish it. We must seize this opportunity to defeat the Pacers and let history Remember the name of our Mavericks, beat the Mavericks of the 36-game winning streak team."

Old Nelson is also a master of speech. What he said also meant that the Mavericks soldiers were extremely excited, and they were extremely looking forward to the Pacers game.

They really want to go up and show their daggers against the Pacers now, overthrow them, and win the game.

Naturally, it's not because of how brilliant old Nelson's words are. On the contrary, what old Nelson said is not so clever, but extremely straightforward and concise.

clear.

Straightforwardly clarify the relationship.

Winning the Pacers, they defeated the team that won 36 consecutive victories, and the Pacers, who have won 36 consecutive victories, are engraved on the historical monument.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this kind of opportunity is once in a thousand years. On the contrary, it is really very appropriate.

The alliance has been established for several years, and this is the first time this kind of opportunity has appeared. It can be said that this is even rarer than reaching the finals.

Although it is difficult to reach the finals, this happens every season.

The opportunity to face a team that has won 36 consecutive victories does not come every day.

Because of this, this game is also highly anticipated.

There is still a week before the start of this game, and the tickets for this game between the Pacers and the Mavericks have already been sold out.

It is even said that there is a situation where the supply is in short supply. For this reason, countless scalpers have been bred in this game.

There can be scalpers in a game, which is enough to show the popularity of this game.

And the scalpers dared to sell hundreds or even thousands of tickets that cost tens of dollars per chapter, which shows how hot this game is.

The popularity of this game is evident.

The level of attention in this game is probably the Mavericks' playoffs, but it's just this level.

On the day of the game, there were still three to ten minutes before the start of the game, and the fans also entered the arena one after another. The American Airlines Arena, which can accommodate more than 10 people, was full in just two to ten minutes.

There are still 10 minutes before the start of the game, but the scene is extremely noisy and full of voices.

This was inside the arena, and outside the arena, many fans who couldn't buy tickets were also standing in front of the square, staring at the big screen on the stadium, paying attention to the real-time dynamics of the game.

In addition to the square full of people, the various bars and restaurants near the American Airlines Center are also full. There are more people who can’t buy tickets, or prefer to have a drink or two to watch the game here. Fans, they are used to watching football while drinking, for them, this feeling couldn't be better.

There is nothing more pleasant than this life.

Naturally, it would be great if the Mavericks can beat the 36-win Pacers in the game.

That's what they expected, what they expected.

And when the fans entered the field during the game, when the ball commentary on the scene read the names of the Pacers fans, they erupted in boos that shook the sky, and the boos completely swallowed the stadium like a tide up.

Lives are buzzing.

Very noisy.

And when Miller came out, boos had already resounded throughout the arena. I thought it was the biggest boos.

However, what people didn't expect was that compared with the booing of Miller by the Mavericks fans, it really paled in comparison.

Under the leadership of Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, the fans at the scene broke out all kinds of curses, and the boos were like stormy waves, attacking the stadium, and the arena was swallowed up in an instant.

Being in the middle of the stadium gives people the feeling that you are not playing, you are fighting, and you are fighting with more than 2 people on the scene.

At this time, playing this game at the Mavericks' home court, the home court advantage is undoubtedly revealed.

And when the generals of the Mavericks came on the field, the boos at the scene stopped completely, and were replaced by endless cheers at the scene.

The cheers engulfed the arena like a tide, and the sound almost seemed to lift the roof of the arena.

The faces of many Mavericks fans at the scene were also flushed. The game hadn't started yet, obviously, they were already climaxing.

Although they are against the Pacers, they are not worried at all when they are at home. They don't regard the Pacers as an extremely difficult opponent, just an ordinary opponent.

This is also where the Mavericks do a good job.

Although the game has not yet started, but judging from the Mavericks' state, no matter what the final result of this game, the only thing that can be determined is that this is an anxious game.

(The second update. I don’t remember how long it has been since there were two updates a day. Now that the two updates are delivered, can I ask for some recommendation tickets, monthly tickets and the like?)
