NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 49
After being dunked three times in a row by Lu Yuanzhi, even at home, the morale of the Mavericks would inevitably be affected, and the bench of the Kings became a sea of ​​joy.

It's just that in this happy atmosphere, several substitutes also have their own little thoughts.

Turkoglu had a sense of crisis: I can't do such a powerful dunk. Will it affect my playing time?
Gerald Wallace thoughtfully said: I can do this kind of dunk!But how do I get on the field?
Lu Yuanzhi: Just be content with it. When the boss Webb comes back, he will take up nearly 40 minutes of playing time. That will be our hell.

Yes, on the plane before coming here, Lu Yuanzhi heard Adelman chatting with the assistant coach, talking about Webb's injury recovery is good, and he will be able to return in December.

Therefore, Lu Yuanzhi worked hard to express himself in this game, hoping to gain more playing time in the upcoming team changes.

Returning to the game, Nelson called a short timeout and replaced Bradley with Juwan Howard, who transferred from Huo's second uncle last year.

Nelson is indeed worthy of being called a "mad scientist". He thinks that since Bradley can't be guarded, he should replace Howard with a stronger attack power to revitalize the team's offense and compete with the Kings on the offensive end.

Howard was traded to the Mavericks by the Wizards after playing for most of the season last year. Without Howard, the Wizards swooped directly to the vice-president of the Eastern Conference and were very "lucky" to get the No. [-] pick this year.

Why are you so "lucky"?Maybe it has something to do with Jordan's second comeback with the Wizards this year.

Howard's contract ends next year, 1875 million this year and 2063 million next year. Sending Howard away and finding some good helpers for Jordan seems to be a very reasonable choice.

After all, the old hooligan is old and can't play for a few years. It is impossible to wait for Howard's contract to end to free up salary space before finding help for Master Joe. The Wizards can't afford to wait.

But the strange thing is that the Wizards did not trade anyone with immediate combat effectiveness at all. Instead, they lost Howard, who could help Jordan open up space under the basket.

It can only be said that the old gangster is the GOAT as a player, but in terms of building a team, he is far inferior to my emperor.

Regardless of salary pressure, as long as you can be selected by our emperor to be his teammate, then your ability is definitely top-notch in the NBA.

Wade, Bosh, Owen, Love, thick eyebrows, which name is not shining?

Who did the old hooligan pick?The hottest No. [-] pick, Kwame Brown!

Howard's appearance really revitalized the Mavericks' offense. Even Nowitzki, who had been having a hard time playing before, took advantage of Lu Yuanzhi's two defensive opportunities to score 4 points with a jump shot.

But at the same time, Howard, who was not good at defense, let the Mavericks' inside line directly become a sieve. Not only Lu Yuanzhi attacked the inside line, but Stojakovic, Christie and Bibby also continued to score inside.

In the first quarter, the Mavericks put on a confrontational posture and fell behind the Kings at home at 23:30.

Kings: Fighting offense, I have never been afraid of anyone.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Kings went four up and four down, replacing Pollard, Turkoglu, Gerald Wallace and Bobby Jackson, leaving only Christie on the court.

Christie is bound to Michael Finley. As long as Finley is on the court, he will not leave the game.

However, Christie has good physical strength, and the offensive end does not need to consume too much physical strength. It is enough to go to the bottom corner to squat and smoke, and then prepare to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer.

The Mavericks replaced Nowitzki and Nash, and Finley and Tim Hardaway led the bench to fight the Kings.

It is said that the two teams are both in a chaotic lineup, and there are masters in chaotic battles in the formation. The gap should not be that big, but the Kings' bench seems to feel better. They beat the Mavericks 5:14 in the first 6 minutes of the second quarter. Widened the point difference to 15 points.

The Mavericks took the lead in adjusting the lineup, replacing Nowitzki and Nash, while keeping Howard and Tim Hardaway on the court, plus Najera, who swept the flanks, and played a lineup with two point guards and no center.

Sitting in the audience, Lu Yuanzhi said that he couldn't understand, he really couldn't understand, the thinking of a "mad scientist" was indeed beyond the comprehension of normal people.

But this lineup worked wonders, and the ball flowed more smoothly on the offensive end. On the defensive end, Najera defended desperately, constantly causing offensive fouls by Kings players, and forced the Kings to an 8:2 climax.

The score gap returned to within 10 points again.

Lu Yuanzhi felt happy when he saw the Mavericks catching up.

If Christie's playing time today is tied to Finley, then Lu Yuanzhi's playing time is likely to be tied to Nowitzki next.

Just now the coaching staff felt that now that they had found a way to defend Nowitzki, Turkoglu could also lock Nowitzki like Lu Yuanzhi did. As a result, Nowitzki slapped the Kings coaching staff hard in the face.

The Mavericks' point chasing climax, every point is related to Nowitzki, either he scored himself, or he attracted flankers to create open opportunities for his teammates.

Turkoglu didn't understand why he was worse than Lu Yuanzhi, and why Lu Yuanzhi could guard against him but he couldn't.

Lu Yuanzhi: Don't take your hobbies and challenge my job!Hedo, you should obediently organize the offense and score, that is what you are good at.

Lu Yuanzhi happily heard his name being called on the bench, and then went on the court to challenge Nowitzki for a second round.

Seeing Lu Yuanzhi appear again, Nowitzki also reduced his offense with the ball and began to run off-the-ball tactics.

Hey, the European players are not as cute as the American players. Their golf quotient is too high. They are not like those black and tough American players. They can't play twice if they play once, and they can't play three times if they play twice. As long as the coach doesn't replace him, he Just beat to death, this is called toughness!
However, without Dirk Nowitzki as the offensive arrow, Michael Finley rested off the court again, and the Mavericks' offensive came to an abrupt end. The Kings once again ended the second quarter with a ten-point lead at 29:19.

The Kings ended the first half with a huge advantage of 59:42 and a 17-point lead.

Nowitzki scored 14 points at halftime, which seemed good, but faced Lu Yuanzhi's defense, he only scored 4 points.

During the halftime break, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith discussed the situation in the first half on the TNT commentary stand.

"Charles, although you are only 1 meters tall, you play the power forward position. Can you analyze the matchup between Max Lu and Nowitzki from the perspective of a power forward?"

"No, no, no, Kenny, the great Charles is 2 meters tall," Barkley continued without waiting for Kenny, who kept shaking his head, to retort, "Max swung up from the third position, so his movement speed is Much faster than the average power forward, which makes it difficult for Nowitzki to beat him."

"And his wingspan of 2 meters, when blocking Nowitzki, will not suffer too much because of his height."

"So," Smith interjected, "A player like Max is the best against Nowitzki?"

"No, no, no," Barkley shook his head like a rattle, "A player like me is Nowitzki's nemesis. On the defensive end, I can lock his shots and breakthroughs, and on the offensive end, I can use my His invincible ass makes him impossible to defend!"

All the audience thought Barkley was joking until the 04-05 season, the series between the Suns and the Mavericks.
