NBA: Become stronger by dunking

Chapter 132



【132】vs Mavericks, the third best team in the Western Conference!

The Oakland Arena was packed with people.

The Warriors continued to play at home against the Dallas Mavericks, led by the D-country chariot.

The Mavericks are now ranked third in the Western Conference, second only to the Lakers and the Warriors. They are extremely strong and can be said to be the leading team in the second echelon of the Western Conference.

When talking about the Mavericks, we have to mention the"D-country chariot" Dirk Nowitzki. This legendary international superstar led the Mavericks to the first place in the Western Conference in 2007 and successfully won the regular season MVP.

From any perspective, Dirk Nowitzki can be regarded as one of the greatest international players in the NBA.

In terms of overall achievements, Nowitzki is on par with his former teammate Steve Nash.

Although Nash won the regular season MVP for two consecutive years, Dirk Nowitzki's overall career statistics are not worse than Nash, and are even slightly better.

On the commentary platform, the commentary team sent by ESPN is still Mike Breen and Van Gundy.

In the CCTV NBA live broadcast room, the host who commented on this game is Wang Meng, and the guests are Coach Zhang and Su Qun. The

Mavericks and Dirk Nowitzki have always been the teams and stars that Chinese fans are more enthusiastic about, so this game has naturally received more attention.

The commentators and hosts of China, including many Chinese fans watching in front of the TV, are looking forward to Su Mo and the Warriors to quickly rebound in this game, defeat the Mavericks, and sweep away the haze of losing the last game.

Under the anticipation of the fans of both teams, the game between the Warriors and the Mavericks officially began.

The starting lineup of the Dallas Mavericks: Jason Kidd, Josh Howard, Shawn Marion, Dirk Nowitzki, Brendan Haywood. The starting five of the Warriors are still the same: Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry, Stephen Jackson, Su Mo, Anthony Tolliver.

When the Warriors fans at home saw Curry still starting, some of them booed.

"Is the Warriors coaching staff crazy? They actually let Curry start? It's clear that they want the Warriors to lose again!"

"It is really worrying. Curry's touch is so bad, but he is still allowed to start. He will definitely be the target of the Mavericks. By then, the double-team will be on Su Mo's side, and Curry can't make the shot if he passes the ball. Then he will be really finished!"

"Well, no matter what, I still hope that Curry can find his own form. After all, at the beginning of the season, Curry's three-pointers were not so inaccurate!"

"There is no way, who let Curry have a backer? The treatment of the second generation of stars is different!"

After all, it is a minority of extreme Warriors fans who are sneering at Curry. Most fans are still discussing the matter, one game at a time, hoping that Curry can get back on track in this game and complete the redemption game.

The centers of the two teams first jumped the ball in the middle circle, and the Mavericks took the lead in getting the first wave of offensive possession.

""Old Demon" Jason Kidd brought the ball to the front court, and through a pick-and-roll, he passed the ball to Dirk Nowitzki in a clever and covert way.

Jackson was the main defender of Nowitzki, and he had no height or strength advantage at all.

Nowitzki stood still, just dribbled lightly, then directly leaned back, and shot with his signature Golden Rooster Stand.

""Swish!"

The basketball went into the net, splashing water.

The Mavericks led the Warriors 2:0 at the start.

On the commentary desk, Mike Breen and Van Gundy were full of praise for Nowitzki's one-legged stand.

"D Country's stand on one leg is truly amazing, there is no way to block his shot, one can only pray that he misses!"

"Nowitzki is the international player I admire most. Although Nash has achieved more now, I feel that Nowitzki's final achievement will surpass Nash, and his career will be longer!"

Back on the court, the Warriors' offense, Ellis dribbled the ball across half court, and through Su Mo's strong containment, he accelerated and broke into the penalty area, and made a clever layup.

""Shua!"

The two sides exchanged blows and the game ended in a 2:2 tie.

The home fans also started to talk.

"Ellis is still more stable. Apart from Su Mo, only Ellis HIA is decent enough. No matter whether Su Mo is double-teamed or not in this game, don't pass the ball to Curry again. He can't afford to get hurt!"

"I didn't play well in the last game, so I don't necessarily have to win in this game. It's not good to always hold others' braids. After all, every player has downturns!"

On the court, the Mavericks attacked again. This time, Nowitzki changed to the high position on the left side. He was not afraid of defense. He stood on one leg and faded away to shoot another long two-point shot.

""Shua!"

Another sure hit.

"Dirk is so awesome, the moment he shot the ball, he felt like it was a sure thing!"

"Although there are always people accusing Dirk of playing softly, his shooting is accurate. It is really shocking that a big man can have such a soft touch!"

"European big men generally have a softer touch than local players, and their techniques under the basket are more delicate. Nowitzki is a perfect example of this!"

"But to be honest, it is difficult to win the championship just by shooting. This is the difference between Nowitzki and Duncan!"

The ball was transferred. Su Mo was not to be outdone. He took the ball directly to the high right position. Facing Marion's defense, he moved sideways and then shot a jump shot.

The basketball flew over Marion's head and flew accurately towards the basket.

""Shua!"

A crisp sound of the ball hitting the net was heard, and Su Mo's backward jump shot went into the net.

After a moment of silence, the home fans immediately burst into unprecedented cheers.

"Su Mo is so awesome, he can even do the fadeaway jump shot so well!"

"Su Mo's fade away is so beautiful, I seem to see the shadow of Kobe!"

"It seemed that Su Mo was rarely seen shooting fadeaway shots before, and his hit rate didn't seem very good. Could it be that after playing against the Lakers, he secretly learned Kobe's tricks?"

"I have to admit that Su Mo's ability to learn and improve is really terrifying!"

The home fans were admiring Su Mo's fadeaway shot, but the Mavericks were quietly counterattacking. It was Dirk Nowitzki again, facing Jackson for the third time, standing on one leg, showing his murderous intent.

""Swish!"

Nowitzki performed the Golden Rooster Stand three times in a row on the offensive end at the beginning of the game, and he never missed a shot.

Warriors head coach Don Nelson looked solemn and immediately called a timeout. In his opinion, the team must adjust the defensive strategy against Nowitzki.
