"If tonight is the last game of the season, then I believe that everyone and the audience are the same as me, and I hope to see a battle against each other!"

Just watching the first quarter, Bobby Leonard's wish was dashed.

All fans know that the core competitiveness of a champion team lies in the strength of the core players.

If a core player gets diarrhea on the spot, his side effects will not only hurt himself, but also affect others.

In the first quarter, Nowitzki scored a goal with a tip-in. In the next few minutes, he made several more shots, with a total of 19 shots in a single quarter.

Nowitzki's poor performance is just like giving the Pacers the opportunity to be strong and enterprising.

Xie Hou played for nine minutes and got off the court, but the rest of the three minutes still did not see any looseness in the walkers.

32 to 21

There was an 11-point gap in the first quarter. Leonard wanted to watch the dragon and tiger fight, but what he reported on the spot was the NBA version of the classic mini-game beating elementary school students.

The Mavericks seemed unable to withstand the Pacers' offensive.

In order to have a new look, Mavericks' acting coach Ailly Lanzi chose to adapt.

At the beginning of the second quarter, he replaced Nowitzki, who had no touch and a gloomy expression, no longer communicated with the people around him. At the same time, he gave Devin Harris a higher tactical status like his ex.

Moreover, he also took the initiative to communicate with Nowitzki: "Dike, adjust your condition, we need you to lead us to victory."

The coach with some experience can see that Nowitzki is in a very poor state and it is better to give up the game directly than to expect him to fight a tough battle.

However, Lanzi believed that Nowitzki was the key to the Mavericks' victory.

No matter what he is beaten, he must firmly support Nowitzki as his absolute core.

If Nowitzki enjoys his coaching, his hopes of being straightened after the end of the season will increase significantly.

The victory or defeat tonight is no longer so important. At this time when you are about to lose, the person who does not care about yourself is not a saint, but a fool.

What embarrasses Nowitzki is that after Harris was given a core position, his performance changed the situation.

For Gary Payton, his speed advantage can even glaucoma patients.

Payton's trash talk has no effect except to add unpleasantness to his opponent.

Harris broke through to the basket twice in a row, and Foster and Kirirenko's assisted defense were half a beat slow.

"Even if the Mavericks lose the final, they will gain something." Leonard pointed out, "Second-year Devin Harris, the No. 5 pick in 2004, performed no less than Dirk Nowitzki in the finals. Dirk is still in his play. If Devin can keep improving, their future will be great."

No veteran wants to be the former wave to be beaten to death by the younger wave.

Gary Payton heard the bench ridicule, and his teammates enthusiastically discussed whether he could defend Harris with one goal.

Their discussion is not malicious, it is just a joke.

After all, even Xie Hou couldn't defend against Harris, and it was normal for Payton to prevent him.

"Don't chirp here, that fox is nothing great. I'll tell him to know how powerful I am next round!" Payton screamed angrily.

Veterans who cannot play the ball will degenerate.

At least that's what Payton is.

The back line is crowded with Pacers, he wants to compete with Sherhou, Papalucas, and Penny Hardaway.

Xie Hou and the Greeks occupy two starters, and he and Penny have to compete for the main rotation. Generally, Claire will let him play first, and his defense is better. But Penny is more comprehensive, able to make three points, break through, and be able to do the ball, but it is not good to defend.

None of them is in the front position of rotation, and everyone on the spot needs to be on the spot.

With such competition, Payton won him averaging 13 minutes of playing time.

Generally, he is taking the ball in rotation and facing the opponent's substitute.

The Mavericks were beaten up, Harris made a round-route in the second quarter and was given a core position. His playing style was like the previous one, and Payton rarely faced the starting lineup.

"Listen, I won't fucking take you! ￥!"

Payton squirted a bunch of dirty words at Harris.

The former Peyton was called the most oppressive defender, which happened ten years ago.

Even Jordan was very impressed when he was at his peak and his trash talk about focusing on the lower three routes, let alone others.

Now his defensive skills are not as good as those of the past, but his mouth is still stinky.

Trash words that cannot make your opponent speechless are like free stimulants for the other party.

Harris made a strong oppressive defense towards Payton.

Payton called for pick-and-roll, and Foster blocked it steadily.

Payton dribbled to the left, suddenly closed the ball and shot it, hitting the board.

36 to 26

"Good ball, he still looks like he still has oil," Xie Hou said.

It is said that veterans are not dead, but the veteran's ability to kill games has been killed by the old man time.

Payton couldn't defend Harris' breakthrough, and his trash talk was just adding fuel to the fire.

Kirilenko's assisting defense was excellent in limiting Harris' layup, and he had to pass it.

Starkhouse missed a three-pointer from the outside.

The Pacers launched a counterattack with amazing momentum, but were curbed by tactical fouls.

Xie Hou looked at his teammates with an excited look and knew their desire for attack. The Mavericks are now at the end of their strength, and they can be broken by a blink of an eye. The opportunity is rare and must be seized.

Payton suddenly shot a three-pointer.

"It's crooked." Is anyone more familiar with the way the shot is crooked than Xie Hou?

Sure enough, ironworking.

Robert III teased: "It's worthy of being you, you can see it at a glance."

It's good to say, why does it sound so weird?

It doesn't matter if the shot is not made, Foster makes a strong impact on the offensive rebound.

His defense is average, his offense is not good, his physical fitness is simply an alien among the white inside, and his skills are even a scum among the white inside. If there is a white inside basketball player guild in the world, someone like Foster will definitely be expelled from the white inside book.

He was so powerful that he was not inferior to the athletic ability of a top black player, and he was strongly removed from the board.

Located at the position where you can score with a steady hook, he made a move that made people sigh.

The ball was transmitted outward.

Danny Granger was eager to make a contribution, and he couldn't make any adjustments before making a three-pointer.

Again, Kirirenko scored the rebound to Foster's position.

Foster caught another rebound.

Payton runs and shouts at Foster.

Selflessness is the most in line with the white insider. If one day people who are really frustrated with pain form a white inside basketball player guild and fire Foster in the name of "indignity of white insider", he will defend himself on selfless reasons.

Although my physical fitness is so powerful that you vomit blood and my skills are so rough that you can incontinence, I am still a good white insider because I have a selfless heart.

1 Yes, the arguments have been written.

Payton received an offensive rebound from Foster and performed his third shot in this offensive round.

A decisive three-pointer.

He has never been an excellent three-point shooter. As a palace-level outside defender, he lives in a era of desolate three-point shooting. From a rookie season of 7.7% three-point shooting percentage of 2 to a 29.9% three-point shooting percentage, only he himself knows how much effort he has put in private.

2 Strangely, Payton's three-point shooting percentage in the rookie season was 7.7%, but his number of hits was 0. I don't know why.

In the era of big balls, three-pointers could barely be used and shot the bull's-eye beautifully.

39 to 26

The problem is becoming increasingly obvious. The Mavericks rely on Harris, who has no solution for a certain period of time, to be able to closely tie the score, but as long as the Pacers can continue their firepower, they will not be able to narrow the gap.

Halfway through the next festival, it's still the same.

Moreover, the Pacers led by Payton actually pulled the gap to 13 points.

When Xie Hou, Nowitzki and others returned to the game, the score was surprisingly 44 to 31.

"The Mavericks' biggest hope left is whether Nowitzki can find the feel." Leonard was pessimistic about the incident. "We have no idea what went wrong with the Germans, but based on the lessons of a series of historically miserable championship teams, we can know that those who did not have major injuries but did not perform well for no reason usually do not rest on the court for a few minutes before returning to normal."

McGuinness agreed; "Yes, it's like the magician in the 1983-1984 finals."

Leonard came from that era. As a witness, he smiled with understanding: "That is a number of exit events in history."

When they teased Nowitzki for this, the German tank boosted the morale of the team with a three-pointer.

"Has he recovered?" Everyone was surprised.

Sherlock Bibi wants to know Nowitzki's condition, and the other party's condition determines how they prepare for the battle next.

The test method is relatively simple, Xie Hou first randomly beat the ball.

Don't enter.
