The Eagles took advantage of the absence of Josh Howard to attack from the outside. The Mavericks are not vegetarian either. Nowitzki succeeded in singles for two consecutive rounds, helping the team narrow the point difference.

And when Terry also found the touch, hit consecutive mid-range shots, and echoed Nowitzki's offense, Ke Yan knew that this could not continue, and decisively arranged for players to attack Nowitzki to test the role players of the Mavericks. ability to respond.

Stackhouse was still able to seize the opportunity and hit the shot, but Marquis Daniels' touch today is relatively average. Replacing Daniels with Devon Harris, the effect is not much worse!

Faced with Terry and Nowitzki's misplaced offense after the pick-and-roll, the Eagles increased the number of defensive personnel to attack more resolutely. Scored the ball, made 4 of 6 shots and scored 4 points in the first 9 minutes of the fourth quarter.

After the downturn in the third quarter, Nowitzki recovered his touch in time in the fourth quarter, helping the Mavericks narrow the point difference to 7 points. (97:104)

"Drip~" Before entering the official timeout, Ke Yan took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to replace the main players in advance, and started a decisive battle with the Mavericks.

The audience at the scene also knew that it was time to decide the winner, and they shouted "Let'gomavs" neatly to cheer for the players.

Amidst the waves of fans of the home team, the Eagles sent a sideline kick, and the decisive battle began.

Paul dribbled the ball across half court, and Harris stepped on the three-point line and stopped in front of him, ready to fight.

Paul didn't mean to single him out, but made a gesture, and Garnett stepped up to cover him. Nowitzki loudly reminded Harris behind Harris. Standing firmly behind him.

fantuantanshu.

Seeing this, Nowitzki immediately stepped forward to defend Paul, not giving the latter an easy chance to make a mid-range shot. Garnett then suppressed Harris and walked into the penalty area!

Misplaced singles are the most important part of the Mavericks' offensive tactics. However, misplaced defense is still facing Paul, who is the best in the league.Paul changed direction and dribbled the ball continuously, shaking Nowitzki's hands and feet. He noticed that Terry was coming to defend, and a covert pass was given to Battier in the bottom corner.

Terry reacted immediately, turned around and jumped up to block Battier's shot, but it was too late. The three-pointer from the bottom corner is Battier's best scoring softness, leaving him an open shot is equivalent to leading the neck. kill.What's more, Terry himself is still a combo guard, and his defensive ability is quite limited. He can only watch the basketball fly past his fingertips, draw a high arc, and then bounce into the frame.

97:107, the point difference has widened to more than 10 points!

Looking back, Nowitzki showed his MVP-level strength. Facing Garnett's defense, he broke through the frame and took a step in against Garnett, and then made a signature fadeaway jumper, which was accurate Hit!

Nowitzki in the MVP season is definitely a bug!

Round transition, the Eagles attack, Paul and Garnett pick and roll again, found Nowitzki.

This time Nowitzki learned the lesson of being thrown off the center of gravity just now, stood still, raised his arms high, and responded to all changes with the same attitude!

This defensive strategy may be effective against other guards, but Paul is clearer than the average point guard. He uses the fake action of rushing up and stopping to mobilize Nowitzki's center of gravity, and then wipes past him deftly, rushing Into the penalty area, a light lever in the air, avoiding Dampier's belated help defense block, hit the cricket and scored. (99:109)

On the sidelines, Avery Johnson couldn't help but frown when he saw the Eagles attacking consecutively, but he hesitated for a while, and chose to trust Xiu Yuan on the court, and did not respond.

On the field, the Mavericks sent the ball from the baseline. Nowitzki received the ball from the horns and made a fake jump shot, but suddenly went straight inside. Josh Howard made an empty cut to the basket and completed a violent attack against Diaw's supplementary defense. buckle!

"Drip!" The referee whistled Dior for a foul, and the Mavericks got a chance to add a penalty.

"OMG!" Turning his head, Dior was speechless for a while, it really didn't reach this level!

But, home field advantage, you know everything!Josh Howard made an extra free throw, and the point difference was pulled back to 7 points.

Looking back, the Mavericks finally defended a goal from the Eagles. Garnett made a pick-and-roll and slid down. After receiving a pass from Paul, he rushed to the basket, but was interfered by Dampier and failed to score the ball.

Nowitzki grabbed a backcourt rebound, pushed directly to the frontcourt, singled out Dior face-to-face, shot a three-pointer directly, and made a hit!

After Nowitzki made the three-pointer, Ke Yan couldn't sit still and immediately called a timeout.

To deal with this Mavericks, the defense alone cannot be defended, the most important thing is the offensive end.The referee's whistle is beneficial to the Mavericks, and the Eagles need to widen the team's offensive space, or send the ball directly to the basket, or create a better offensive environment for the inside.

After the timeout, the Eagles sent a sideline ball in the frontcourt. Ganetra went to the free throw line to catch the ball and cooperated with Dior in the high and low positions. After Nowitzki's attraction reached his right side, he suddenly turned to the right side, layup with his left hand, and scored the ball! (104:111)

"Diao is a player, except for the assist data, other statistics are not obvious, but every time the Eagles encounter difficulties, after Ke Yan calls a timeout, he will always make changes based on this point, or give the opponent a response. ! No wonder Ke Yan thinks highly of him!" Zhang Lili said.

From his point of view, many of Dior's handling of the ball are reasonable and very reasonable, but it is very difficult to be so reasonable on the court, but Dior can "simplify the complex", which is difficult to figure out.

Looking back, Terry and Nowitzki continued to run the pick-and-roll, handing the ball to Nowitzki.The intention of this goal was very obvious, and the defense was not taken away at all. Under the heavy defense, Nowitzki finally hit the iron.

If the goal of FMD is scored again, Ke Yan will really scold his mother!

The Eagles attacked, Garnett forced Dampier in the low post, backed up twice and then sent a pass behind the back, helping the air-cut Joe Johnson break into the basket and dunk successfully!

After landing, Joe Johnson pointed to Garnett. Garnett raised his hand, gave Joe Johnson a high five, and then bent down and glared at Nowitzki who was walking towards him.

The Mavericks' wave after wave of offense was pushed back by the Eagles. In the blink of an eye, the game entered the last 2 minutes, and the team was still 8 points behind.

Nowitzki received the ball in the front court, tested Garnett's defense, and went straight to the inside. Garnett interfered with all his strength, but Nowitzki also tried his best to hold Garnett away. , rushed into the restricted area.

Gerbatier came to help in time, Nowitzki jumped up and passed the ball to Howard, Howard took off and dunked after receiving the ball.

Snapped!

At this moment, a big hand slapped heavily, holding the basketball tightly!

Garnett took off for the second time, accurately blocked the basket, and gave Howard a solid hot pot!

"Beautiful defense! Garnett's block pushed the Mavericks to the edge of the cliff. With one and a half minutes left in the game, the Mavericks were in danger! Nowitzki scored 33 points in the game, but this goal did not Go up by yourself, but hand it over to Howard to finish.

Maybe this choice is fatal! "Although he was explaining from the standpoint of the Eagles, Yang Jian also felt a little sorry for Nowitzki after seeing this scene.

The Eagles attacked, Paul took possession of the ball, Garnett stepped forward to make an off-ball pick-and-roll for Joe Johnson, the latter used Garnett's screen to throw away Josh Howard's defense, attracted Dampier's supplementary defense, and then hit directly The ground gave the ball to Garnett who was running down.

Garnett did not force himself to catch the ball, but returned the ball to Joe Johnson without stopping. At this time, there was no one around Joe Johnson. special.

Almost a 100% open, Joe Johnson made a steady hit!With 75 seconds left in the game, the point difference was opened to 10 points, and the game completely lost its suspense!

Under the huge point difference, the Mavericks players also lost their fighting spirit and let the rest of the time run out.

In the end, the whole game ended, and the Mavericks lost to the Eagles at home 115:126.The Eagles avenged their last home loss. (51-8)

Paul scored 27 points, 11 assists, 4 rebounds and 2 steals, and his performance was quite dazzling; Garnett's performance of 24 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists was also outstanding. Killed the game; Joe Johnson scored 26 points, and his fire support was a great addition to Paul and Garnett.

For the Mavericks, Nowitzki scored a large double-double with 33 points and 14 rebounds, which in a sense turned this game into a "Three Great Britain vs. Lu Bu".Howard may have contributed some output and played the role of "Hua Xiong" for a while, but when it was terrible, it was basically Nowitzki who was at the top.

Hoarding too many attackers, it is easier to play when they are "bullying". But facing a top team like the Eagles, the problem of the Mavericks' lack of playmakers is more obvious!In addition, the team lacks an outside defender. Adrian Griffin, who followed the team to the finals last season, is a good defender. Unfortunately, the Mavericks did not keep it, which is a big loss.

If this game was before the trade deadline and the team's problems were exposed earlier, maybe Avery Johnson really planned to make a trade to strengthen the perimeter defense; but the problem is that this loss came a little later, the trade It seems unrealistic!

Facing Ke Yan, Avery Johnson can lose, but he can’t lose momentum. In the interview after the game, Avery Johnson concluded that the reason for the loss is that the Eagles played better key shots:

"The game is like this, there is a lot of chance. I have to admit that Kimi has created a very strong team. They are very competitive. They have made great progress since they played against us three months ago. Barty The joining of Hall has made them significantly improved, and KG has dedicated the most perfect performance at the critical moment. I hope we will have the opportunity to play against each other this season, and when we win, we will change the owner."

Avery Johnson doesn't admit it, on the one hand, it's because of his personality, and on the other hand, it's because many Mavericks fans like YY Ke Yan to coach in Dallas.In fact, Ke Yan himself has denied it many times, but fans can't bear to grab his "cow secret" attribute to talk about things. Ke Yan can't fight with netizens every day, can he?

After winning this strong dialogue, the Eagles extended their winning streak to 6 games, and the team's record ahead of the Mavericks has also come to 3 games. The probability of winning the regular season championship has been greatly improved.

With this victory, Garnett also narrowed the gap between himself and Nowitzki.According to the odds given by the betting website, the probability of Nowitzki winning the MVP is much higher than that of Garnett. After all, Nowitzki is "one person, one city", while Garnett is "gathering lions and camels". .But "victory can cover up everything", and Garnett himself has the advantage of "nationality", which cannot be ignored.

After defeating the Mavericks, the Eagles continued their western road trip and came to Sacramento to face the Kings.

In the first round of the confrontation between the two teams, Artest elbowed Joe Johnson and was directly suspended by the league for 30 games. This directly ruined all the efforts of the Kings this season and forced the team into a bad state. Until now, Artest None have come back yet.

In fact, considering the team's "bad" plan, the Kings no longer intend to let Artest come back, and Artest himself is unwilling to play for the Kings again. He has changed his career and went to other teams to work hard. idea!

The suspense of the game itself is not great. What is more surprising is that there are many Chinese supporting Keyan in the arena, which is also related to the city of Sacramento.Sacramento is one of the gathering places of Chinese. The older generation of overseas Chinese usually call Sacramento "Second Port", and Dabu refers to San Francisco. The distance between the two cities is two hours.

It is precisely because of its proximity to San Francisco that during the years when the Kings were strong, the Kings were the team with the best ticket sales in the league. A large number of fans drove from San Francisco to watch the Kings games. That was also the most glorious time of the Kings. .

In Ke Yan's impression, the Kings in his previous life, that is, from this season, have missed the playoffs for 16 consecutive seasons, setting the record for the longest time an NBA team has not made the playoffs, whether it is signings or the draft Either way, it's all a mess!Management is also very confusing.

And as the Warriors in their heyday moved to San Francisco, relying on Stephen Curry's influence to take over the San Francisco market, the Kings were completely defeated.Not only is it impossible for San Francisco fans to come to Sacramento to watch the game, conversely, Sacramento fans would rather drive two hours to San Francisco to watch the Warriors game than watch the Kings play.

The game was uneventful, and the Eagles played steadily, defeating the Kings 124:103, extending the winning streak to 7 games. (52-8)

After the game, Ke Yan also specially came to the stands where the Chinese gathered to applaud the Chinese fans who supported him!
