"Kidd dribbled the ball to the top arc without any rain or dew, and continued to favor Nowitzki alone.
Letting Nowitzki take over the game is a routine operation for the Mavericks. The three threats feint and dribble the ball inside.
Northern Jiangsu came to help defend, trying to flank Nowitzki with Durant.
What?
Nowitzki shot, he stopped and pulled up and shot, and he was about to finish the game, which made the Thunder's 'package' tactic fail..."
Swish——!
Still on target!
102 to 97!
Is this too strong?
Nowitzki is very good at playing!
He scored 9 points in a row, fully demonstrating King Nuo's offensive talent.
One word: very tough!
In addition, Kidd came on the field in the 6th minute of the fourth quarter and contributed 5 points, 2 steals, 1 assist, and 1 rebound, as well as the support organization that is not included in the statistics, which is also unworthy.
Kidd and Nowitzki, whose combined age is 73, still show the grace of superstars.
The so-called Thunder King's explosive combination will carry out Crouching Dragon and Young Phoenix to the end, so as to teach others what it means to be incapable of attacking and unable to defend.
One is 24 years old and the other is also 24 years old!
Altogether, I am 48 years old, which is when youth is invincible, but in the end, I was beaten to nothing by two old men.
In order to regain the lost face.
Durant reached out for the ball, but Westbrook still gave the boss the respect and handed the damn basketball into Durant's hands.
"It's the same triple threat. After a feint, he breaks through with the ball, changes direction, changes back again, and then drives the ball towards the penalty area.
As soon as he jumped up in the paint, he was about to hit the basket. Haywood didn't like him, so he jumped up to block the shot, dribbled the ball, and flipped it to the ground..."
Beep——!
The whistle sounded and the referee punished Haywood's hitter for a foul. Durant got two free throw opportunities.
Outside the court, the home fans were dissatisfied and booed in protest, wanting the referee to call a physical foul with two free throws and one throw.
It's a pity that this is just a normal playoff-level confrontation. The reason why Durant fell so embarrassed is probably because he is too thin.
Moreover, at this point in time, the game is usually left to the players to resolve. The referee can generally call or not, and will choose not to call.
Durant was not disturbed. He got up and stood at the free throw line. With two swish sounds, he steadily won the free throw question and scored two points.
102 to 99!
Still 3 minutes away.
Entering the moment of star showdown, Su Bei continued to show off his soy sauce.
“In the duel between Durant and Nowitzki, both sides scored and played very hard.
Of course, being tough is not enough, you also have to look at endurance!
The Mavericks' next offense was Nowitzki's one-on-one with the ball.
What the hell?
Nowitzki was in high spirits, and he was so brave. He shot the ball from outside the three-point line, and the Golden Rooster made an independent three-pointer and a fadeaway jumper..."
Durant was careless and did not step out to block the shot. Facing Nowitzki's unethical three-point shot, he could only bet that Nowitzki's three-point pistol had no bullets.
At this point in time, if you enter, it will be fatal!
Nowitzki is a bold artist, and this is going to give the Thunder a fatal blow!
Hong Kong, Nowitzki's idea is very beautiful. Kidd just made the same operation and had the idea of killing the game.
It's just a pity that the idea is good, but the basket is not used to Nowitzki.
Bang-dang——!
Nowitzki wanted to kill the game with a three-pointer.
“It’s so dangerous!
The basketball flew out of the basket, just a few hundred million points away!
God did not side with the Mavericks and let the Thunder escape another disaster..."
"Escaped Kidd's freshman year, and escaped Nowitzki's fifteenth year.
Next, when the Thunder had a chance, the rebound was taken by Durant, who immediately rushed up with the ball to counterattack.
The speed has increased, and the Thunder's four young players plus Su Bei, such a small four... no, it can even be said that it is a five-small lineup. For the Thunder, the advantage in speed is theirs..."
Haywood was dumped.
Marion was also dumped.
Although Durant's guard-like speed was blocked, the basketball was in the hands of Su Bei who rushed inside, received the ball, and then rushed to the basket with a three-step dribble.
Kidd showed his experienced side. After he failed to cause a foul while dribbling the ball, he did not take action and chose to watch Su Bei's layup...
Swish——!
Two points scored!
"pretty!
The Thunder's counterattack was successful, and Su Bei defeated his old team and helped the Thunder catch up to only 1 point.
The Mavericks' physical fuel tank can no longer hold up.
Letting Nowitzki stay on the court from the beginning of the fourth quarter without half a minute of rest, and then taking over the Mavericks' offense in the last few minutes, is a very unreasonable tactical choice in itself..."
Nowitzki is hard-working, but if he is still doing this at the age of 34, there is really no drop left. What can he do to last?
Coach Carlisle was also very knowledgeable at this time. He replaced Marion with Carter, and replaced Haywood with Yin'an Mahinmi. In the Mavericks' offensive round, adding offensive players can improve the team's offensive attributes.
So that Carter can help Nowitzki and take over the offensive baton.
Kidd dribbled the ball to the top arc and no longer favored Nowitzki alone.
After all, anyone on the Thunder team who is not stupid knows that flanking Nowitzki and passing the ball directly will only increase the difficulty of Nowitzki's offense and reduce the Mavericks' offensive efficiency.
"Kidd chose to play evenly and turned over Terry's card, and the latter dribbled the ball inside to break through.
Westbrook fights and retreats, Harden shrinks back and flanks Terry...
Peng——!
Terry passed the ball with his back to the ground, passing the basketball 75 degrees to the right. Kidd regained the basketball, and quickly passed the basketball to Nowitzki, who was 75 degrees on the left, and continued to challenge Durant... …”
At this time, it became difficult for Subei to help defend Nowitzki. Once upon a time, Carter was one of the four major shooting guards. He couldn't leave the field undefended, right?
However, thinking about Durant's defense that was not enough to feed a cat, he also wanted to be a good person, but he had no choice but to continue to rush in to help defend.
"Nowitzki held up Durant with his back, then lifted the ball to avoid Su Bei's defense. Taking advantage of his height advantage, he flicked the basketball to the left three-point corner with a flick of his hands.
Carter took the ball and it was empty. He raised the ball and clicked it. There was no wave. He dribbled the ball and broke through, heading towards the basket. He jumped up and charged towards the basket..."
Su Bei folded and retracted, and Yin Baka also came to help defend. With his strong mobility, he perfectly executed the regional defense tactics.
Carter chose to go up to the man, continued to rush toward the basket despite the block, but was blocked by Su Bei's head-butting block.
Bang-dang——!
"Fly!
Once upon a time, Carter, who was known as the "alien" for dunking, was the best at dunking, and one day he also dunked.
At this time, it is impossible, absolutely impossible for the referee to blow the whistle..."
"Oh, even though Carter lost it, the Mavericks still had a chance. The rebound was grabbed by Yin'an Mahinmi who had just come on the court. He turned around and continued to layup. There is..."
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Yin'an Mahinmi made a second attack to help the Mavericks score two crucial points.
104 to 101!
"It's absolutely amazing. Coach Carlisle showed the ability of a championship coach. Although Carter's offensive attack at the first point was missed, he saved the key two points with the help of the second point. This offensive detail is simply amazing. full.
At this time, the Thunder are 3 points behind, and the time left for them is only the last minute. Next, let's see how the Thunder attack?
Is it the equalizing three-pointer? Or get a solid 2 points..."
Scott Brooks did not arrange it, but left it to the players on the field to solve it.
After all, Ji Ba was beaten randomly, so what kind of bicycles do you need... no, what kind of tactics are you looking for?
No tactics are the strongest tactics.
"Westbrook brought the ball to the frontcourt, immediately passed the ball to Harden, drove the ball inside, went in, and jumped out again.
The basketball came out, 75 degrees from the right. Westbrook took the ball again, took a step with the ball, and was blocked by Terry. There was no wave, and the ball was passed to Durant on the left.
That's the Mavericks' line...no, the play!
It's so shameless. The Thunder's so-called strongest tactic is actually copied from the Mavericks' work..."
Of course, the Thunder also made changes. Su Bei cut into the basket, used Yin Baka's cover, got rid of Carter, and ran from the left to the right.
Yin Anmaxinmi can only switch to defend Su Bei.
"Durant dribbled the ball outside the 75-degree three-point line on the left side, jumped up with one step, flicked his hands in the air, and threw the basketball to the left basket. Yin Baka got the basketball and faced Carter. It was very A good misplaced attack opportunity, Yin Baka took a step forward, flew forward, and was about to hit the basket...
What the hell?
Yin Anbasinmi turned around and jumped up to block the shot and protect the basket, but Carter just dodged..."
Bang-dang——!
Beep——!
At the same time that Yin Baka scored a dunk, the referee's whistle sounded, and Yin Anmaxinmi's thug foul was whistled.
"It's actually Andone!
The Thunder unexpectedly got a chance to tie with 3 points!
It's so inappropriate. Yin Anmaxinmi didn't have to do anything extra. He who had just scored a last hit and became a hero instantly became a sinner.
At this time, there were 50 seconds left on the clock, and the Mavericks were leading by 1 point, which was a completely different situation than when the score was tied. It is very likely that this goal will determine the direction of the game.
Who would have thought that the Thunder would play this game..."
Harden's breakthrough tore apart the Mavericks' defense.
Westbrook's sudden score restrained the Mavericks' defensive energy.
Su Bei's cut without the ball disrupted the Mavericks' defensive matchup, coupled with Durant's selfless passing, it was finally ended by Yin Baka, an offensive tough guy, who unexpectedly caught the Mavericks off guard and appeared in the chaos. mistake.
This is the essence of taking others' path and leaving others with no way to go.
At the free throw line, Yin Baka also withstood the pressure and raised his hand to hit the free throw.
Swish——!
The 3-pointer was successful and the two sides returned to the same starting line.
104 to 104!
At this time, Coach Carlisle made another adjustment and replaced Carter with Marion.
If Marion had been on the court just now, he would probably have been able to withstand Yin Baka's attack.
Fame alone is of no use. Now that Carter can't attack or defend, why should he stay on the court for the New Year?
At the critical moment, Nowitzki is still reliable. Even if he misses the shot, he feels more at ease.
On the court, Kidd wanted to use pick-and-roll tactics and continue to look for Nowitzki.
“The Thunder predicted what the Mavericks were going to do, and the whole world knew how the Mavericks were going to attack!
Kidd and Nowitzki played a pick-and-roll, and Harden and Durant immediately flanked Kidd, preventing Kidd from shooting the ball.
When Kidd stepped back and pulled away, Durant quickly returned to his position, went around to defend Nowitzki, and did not regard Kidd's three-point shot as alive..."
Nowitzki's offense with the ball was targeted?
I’ve already made a reservation!
In this scene, Wade and Bosh also did it in last season's finals.
James also helped defend at all times. It can be said that the Big Three surrounded Nowitzki.
so what?
If it doesn’t work once, just do it the second time!
"Nowitzki finally, finally got the basketball!
Leaning on Durant with his back, he is going to crush him inside.
What?
Su Bei moved, let go of Marion, rushed to Nowitzki's side, did everything, and actually completed the steal. At the critical moment, Nowitzki made a mistake or had physical problems.
Su Bei rushed with the ball, and the Thunder had a chance to counterattack.
pretty!
Kidd showed a master-level defensive overall view and almost snatched the basketball back. In the end, Su Bei was too stable and would rather lose the opportunity to counterattack in a fast break than take the risk of passing the ball.
In the position battle, at this time, the two sides were tied, and there were still 42 seconds left before the end of the game time.
The basketball was handed over to Durant, he broke through with the ball, was flanked, and immediately passed the ball to Westbrook. He then dribbled the ball inward, but still couldn't break the zone defense. The Thunder lost the opportunity to quickly attack and score points..."
In 42 seconds, with a quick shot, the Thunder theoretically had a two-round offensive opportunity.
But basketball is not about calculation!
At this critical moment, the Mavericks showed airtight defense and did not allow the Thunder to find an offensive opportunity.
Moreover, the Thunder did not seem to waste this critical offensive opportunity casually.
At this moment, the Thunder team has become more stable, but it is not suitable for the Thunder team with blind Jiba's chaotic style.
Westbrook couldn't find a good opportunity and passed the ball to Harden. As a result, he couldn't make it. In the end, in the 5 seconds that counted down, he went around in circles and the basketball was handed over to Durant again. The attack time was on Not much, no choice.
"Break through with the ball, change direction, change direction again, create space, Durant shoots the buzzer-beating shot..."
Bang-dang——!
The basketball shot missed.
In the crucial attack, Durant relented.
Three consecutive scoring champions, that’s it?
His ability to attack difficult situations at critical moments is really not good.
He relies too much on shooting, and his offensive methods are too monotonous. When the defensive intensity increases, the physical exertion is serious, and the shooting touch is gone, Durant will be useless.
If you want to charge forward and draw a foul, the whistle will become strict and will not be blown easily. The only thing left is to gamble on the shooting touch?
How is it possible to go further in the playoffs by relying on jump shots?
You said the Mavericks did it last season!
I bother!
When Nowitzki ate Bosh's dish raw, was it given to dogs?
The Mavericks' ability to win the championship in 2011 relied on more than just jump shots.
Durant is all jumpers.
It's like, floating outside and shooting, it's like a Mazda.
You drive a Mazda, no wonder you're stuck in traffic!
If you ride in a Mazda, you are not qualified to hold this championship meeting!
"In the last 25 seconds, the Mavericks had the ball to kill the game. Kidd brought the ball to the frontcourt, wasted a lot of time, and immediately passed the ball to Nowitzki.
Although the Mavericks got the last chance to attack, the pressure still fell on their side.
If they fail to score and go into overtime, it will be a disaster for the Mavericks, whose physical fuel tank is at the bottom.
Next, let's see how Nowitzki plays, holding the ball and challenging Durant from outside the 75-degree three-point line on the left.
The three threats took a step, put their feet back, took a feint shot, and immediately dribbled the ball in to break through, but Durant fought and retreated to keep up.
He turned around and slapped his butt, arched back, pushed Durant away, shook his shoulders, turned around, and lifted the ball a little. Durant was acted out, his body flew up, and he even made a dodge gesture..."
Already hanging in the sky, what are you using to hide? Nowitzki ran into Durant's body and completed the shot with difficulty...
Beep——!
The whistle sounded and the referee punished Durant for a foul.
At this time, with 9 seconds left in the game, Nowitzki got two free throw opportunities, and the fans outside the court booed in despair.
This is to blame the referee, but also to blame the incompetence of his own boss and second boss.
It was clear that the Thunder had the advantage when they got the ball, but they waited outside for 24 seconds and couldn't make a shot.
Then, when someone touches you, you become weak and are sent to the bed...no, to the free throw line.
For Nowitzki, the question of giving him points for free throws is simply annoying!
With two swish sounds, under the boos and pressure, Nowitzki showed no mercy and made two free throws steadily, scoring the 2 points that were sure to be the game-winner.
106 to 104!
The Thunder were 2 points behind, with only 9 seconds left. Scott Brook could only call a timeout to arrange a move, and everyone pulled away and handed the damn basketball to Durant. Tactical work!
I bother!
The whole world knows that he is a bright card, but you still call it a der tactic when you beat the scoring leader Durant!
Stop it!
You guessed it about the tactical arrangement, but calling a timeout is just to serve the half-court ball and increase the time for the attack.
Well, there is also chicken soup that can cure all diseases, so you have to sprinkle it, right?
