Basketball: Man in 08, three months left before the Olympics

80:94, 5 minutes and 40 seconds left.

The Mavericks trail the Spurs by as many as 14 points on the road.

This is the toughest situation the Mavericks have faced since the start of the season.

In the first nearly twenty games, they played the league’s leading offensive efficiency, and almost all of them crushed the presence of opponents in the games.

Today, they have faced a strong opponent and were the Spurs of the Mavericks’ “nemesis” in the last playoffs.

The game progressed pretty much the same as last season’s playoffs, with the Mavericks on the verge of losing.

At the crucial moment, Carlisle switched to a new squad that is usually only used in team training to make a last-ditch effort.

Pei Yun came on the court with a step-back three-pointer, which seemed to be a good start.

The Spurs attacked, and the seasoned Popovich liked the most to make GDP “three-in-one” at this time, which is the ultimate lineup for the Spurs.

In this lineup, Parker is no longer the only possession point.

Although the Argentine monster Ginobili plays as a defender, he has a particularly good passing hand, which is pleasing to the eye.

Coupled with his exaggerated to the extreme of various breakthrough actions, he got the nickname “Demon Dao”.

Ginobili took the ball from outside the three-point line, and after getting Duncan’s blocking, he decisively broke through, a huge European step layup, deceived Nowitzki’s defense, and scored a layup!

80:96

The Mavericks attacked, Kidd held the ball, and Pei Yun pulled out again to catch the ball.

Facing Ginobili, he broke through and then took a step back to worship the Buddha.

Ginobili thought that Pei Yun was going to repeat the old trick, so he paid attention, and when he retreated, he moved in advance to seal him.

Unexpectedly, Pei Yun’s retreat step did not have a combination ball, and a Buddha worship action shook Ginobili and launched a breakthrough.

Bonner came to make up for the defense in the bottom corner, and Pei Yun passed the ball to the Arab Emirates in the bottom corner.

The UAE did not hesitate and shot directly with three points.

Swish!

Hit!

83:96

The UAE’s usual three-point shooting practice played an extremely crucial role as soon as he was on the court.

The Mavericks are not a few points behind right now, but time is running out and they have to chase points quickly or still lose the game.

The Spurs possession of the ball, Ginobili possession, is still Duncan’s block, Ginobili dribbled through, and after Ginobili broke through, it was another exaggerated European step.

But this time, he was just a fake layup, and then passed a very windy pass.

The Mavericks players didn’t even react to how Ginobili passed the ball, Duncan had already followed up, and after receiving the pass, he dunked the ball with one hand.

83:98

The audience exclaimed!

Of course, not for Duncan’s violent dunk that did not exert much power, but for Ginobili’s enchanting pass.

This is Ginobili, this is the demon knife, and this is why so many fans like him.

Mavericks possession of the ball, Kidd possessed the ball over the frontcourt, Pei Yun received the ball, facing Ginobili, Pei Yun quickly found his flaw in defense.

Ginobili wanted to cut the ball, but at this moment, Pei Yun’s [Breaking Defense] skill caught his flaw, and Pei quickly shot a three-pointer.

Swish!

Hit!

86:98

The Spurs attacked, Ginobili held the ball, still the same tactics, after blocking, he broke through with the ball, feint pass and then continue to break through.

The layup feint is followed by a weird pass.

He played too much!

Like a stadium artist, no one knows what he’s going to do next, but when he reveals the answer to the audience, the audience applauds.

This time, though, Ginobili made a mistake.

His pass went off, deflected a bit, hit Duncan’s shoulder and bounced out.

The astute Kidd immediately caught this and held the ball at the first time, and Pei Yun had already run away.

Although Pei Yun’s speed was not as fast as Terry Harris, he had a strong sense of victory, and only began to run wildly at the moment of Ginobili’s mistake.

Kidd found Pei Yun accurately.

Pei Yun got the ball, and Parker, who was chasing behind him, was still three or four meters away, and he burst into a split button to score 2 points.

88:98

With only 10 minutes left and 3 minutes and 55 seconds left, Popovich called a timeout.

Ginobili is indeed a creative pitch talent, and this way of playing is very attractive, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it is also accompanied by a high error rate.

This is how it is on the pitch, the gorgeous cooperation is still the technique, they are of course the most loved by the fans, but at the same time, because of the high requirements, it is more likely to make mistakes.

In the eyes of coaches, simple and efficient scoring methods and cooperation are the most worthy of praise.

As a result, high-position two-man ball blocking has almost become one of the most popular NBA tactics in recent years.

Ginobili’s mistakes weren’t enough to call Popovich to call a timeout, and what really made the old man care was the Mavericks’ back-to-back three-pointers.

In the past two minutes or so, the Spurs have eliminated Ginobili’s mistake and hit almost every offense.

But even so, it allowed the Mavericks to chase the score from 17 to 10, and they had hope of catching up.

The reason for this is because after the Mavericks changed to a new lineup, it rained down on a wave of three-point rain.

Popovich and the Spurs certainly want to win at home, but of course, it’s not a playoff game, and it’s nowhere near the point where he will have to rearrange his lineup against opponents.

In Popovich’s view, Carlisle’s “extreme” lineup, he only needs to change the style of play and tactics on the field.

The timeout soon ended with the Spurs in possession.

The ball returned to Parker’s hands and Duncan pulled high to block him.

Now the Mavericks are responsible for defending Duncan is Novitsky, Duncan comes out, he must follow the defense, otherwise Parker’s accurate mid-range projection will definitely cost the Mavericks comeback.

Duncan’s block perfectly blocked Kidd behind him, and he went down.

Parker also began to accelerate.

Nowitzki faced the two in two directions, and he was in a dilemma.

After a moment’s hesitation, Parker throws an aerial relay and Duncan catches the ball.

Bang!

His movements seem unpretentious, but the sound of the basket is not deceptive.

This sound is enough to prove how powerful this dunk is!

88:100

Popovich had already stood on the sidelines at this time, personally supervising the battle, and he shouted: “Manu, guard your people, don’t lose your position!” ”

Although the old man has white hair and white beards, his passion on the sidelines is still undiminished, and everyone knows that he has a hot temper.

But at the moment Popovich even had some smiles on his face.

Obviously, with a 12-point lead, he felt safe enough.

The Mavericks attacked, and Manujino Billy estimated that he heard the old man’s arrangement, and at this time, he was meticulous in the face of Pei Yun’s defense, and there was no such impulse to gamble on steals.

However, the Mavericks were uncharacteristically this time.

The ball did not pass through Pei Yun’s hand, but Kidd and Terry made a three-point outside hand transfer of the ball, and Terry controlled the ball.

Kidd followed the trend to the bottom line for three points, and Nowitzki mentioned cover at the top three-point line of the arc.

Duncan, who defended Nowitzki, naturally couldn’t delay, and Terry directly pulled up a three-point shot after blocking.

Rise!

The sound of a basketball hitting the neck of the basket and scoring a goal.

91:100

The Mavericks also hit a three-pointer!

At this time, Popovich’s brows furrowed, and there was a trace of doubt, but after he thought that the opposite head coach was Rick Carlisle, this doubt was relaxed again.

He had heard this afterlife, serious, dedicated, and meticulous.

He lacks passion, but matures and steadily.

Popovich himself is not this type, he is not good at judgment, he has only heard from peers that Carlisle has a good reputation, but lacks honor.

The coach just now made Popovich feel that Carlisle and this Mavericks are incomparably suitable.

But, unfortunately, if he and the Mavericks want to win the honor, they must cross their own “mountain”.

The truth is, it’s not simple.

Carlisle was on the other side, not flustered, even a little pleased.

His new configuration is already starting to take effect, and the results are remarkable.

From the beginning, every ball had to pass through Pei Yun’s hand, and now, Terry can also control the ball and score.

That’s the heart of this outside lineup, with three possession points on the field!

The only downside is that in this lineup, Kidd is an inconsistent three-point shooter.

Although the UAE is not stable enough, he has improved quickly.

The Spurs attacked, Duncan hit Novitsky with his back low and hit the rebound.

91:102

The Mavericks attacked, Novitsky caught the ball from outside the three-point line, and pulled out his hand in front of Duncan.

Swish!

Also in it!

94:102

Nowitzki and Duncan, this may be the fateful showdown of this era.

Since the late 90s, a group of talented power forwards have emerged in the NBA.

Duncan, Novitsky, Webb, Garnett, the four are known as the big four.

Among them, because Webb’s peak period is not long, Duncan, Novitsky and Garnett are usually discussed.

First of all, these three have been the absolute core of the team for a long time.

And judging from the achievements of later generations, they have reached a certain height.

And Garnett because the championship in the Celtics in the 08 season is not an absolute core, and it is not at its peak, so the gold content is not high.

Duncan and Nowitzki unquestionably entered the discussion of the top three forwards in NBA history.

With more accolades and an extremely versatile man on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, Duncan unsurprisingly became the number one in history.

Nowitzki, on the other hand, is the one with the strongest offensive ability of all power forwards, and although his total score is not as good as Karlmalon’s, his offensive versatility is definitely the best in this position.

The confrontation between Duncan and Nowitzki will basically be a mutual explosion.

Today, this effect is again presented.

The Spurs attacked, and Duncan once again faced Novitsky to test the mid-range shot.

Also hit!

94:104

The Mavericks attacked, Kidd gave the ball to Nowitzki, and the German tank hit Duncan in the low post.

A move of the Golden Rooster Independence, which was “learned” from Pei Yun, not only caused Duncan to foul, but also scored and got a 2+1 chance!

After the goal, Nowitzki stuck out his tongue and high-fived his teammates one by one in celebration.

After the penalty, the score came to 95:104

There are 2 minutes and 03 seconds left.

The Mavericks still have a chance!

Carlisle on the sidelines watched this happen, and he smiled gratifyingly.

Although the Mavericks have a lot of work to do defensively, they have done a great job offensively.

“Weakening Pei Yun” is a necessary step for this lineup.

Although Pei Yun himself has super offensive ability and good organizational ability, when he holds the ball, Terry and Nowitzki, who also have good offensive ability with the ball, will become single.

And the opposing defensive lineup can also be well targeted.

On the contrary, when Pei Yun comes to the flank to play no-ball as a scorer, the Mavericks’ offensive points will be more scattered.

The Spurs attacked, Popovich obviously didn’t want to call a timeout, they still led by nine points, and with 2 minutes left on their home court, such a move would seem very unpretentious.

Parker began to control the time, and in the final moments, he used Duncan’s block to stop a mid-range jumper.

Not hit!

UAE protects rebounds.

Finally, the Spurs’ shooting percentage came down, and the Mavericks had a chance!

Kidd brought the ball over the front, Terry exchanged the ball with him, Novitsky blocked and Terry passed the ball to Peiyun.

Facing Ginobili, Pei Yun shot a feint, and then pulled back after a breakthrough for three points.

Swish!

Or hit!

His technique makes defenders defenseless!

98:104, only 6 minutes left, 1 minute and 21 seconds left.

Popovich remained calm.

Parker dribbled the ball to the front court and hoisted the ball to Duncan in the low post.

Facing Nowitzki again, Duncan used his weight and strength to inflict a slight suppression, but his rollover hook shot hit Lan’s neck and hit the iron.

Just bounced back right above Duncan’s head, and he jumped up again to get this frontcourt rebound and attack again.

Suddenly, a blue figure descended from the sky, taking the rebound before Duncan could take the rebound.

It’s no one else, it’s Mavericks No. 7, Pei Yun!

In this game, the Mavericks didn’t lose much in rebounding, but they kept trailing.

At this moment, Pei Yun activated the full-level [Rebounding Balance] skill, and his rebounding ability value skyrocketed, and when Duncan took the ball, he judged the landing point of this rebound.

So, he rushed from a distance, jumped high, rushed to rebound, and scored a crucial shot!

1:03, 6 points behind.

The Mavericks were not in a hurry, Kidd dribbled the ball over the front court, Pei Yun received the ball, and a shooting feint opened Ginobili’s defensive center of gravity and broke through.

Then the ball was given to the UAE in the bottom corner.

Ah Lian flew to the back of the ball to defend Bonner, moved a step, dribbled, and shot the three-point shot steadily.

The ball arced in the air, hit the inside of the front of the basket, bounced onto the rebound, and finally, fell into the net.

Although it is a twist and turn, this goal is enough to win the championship!

101:104

Popovich was so angry that he finally called a timeout, and the sudden rain of three points over TNT Arena surprised him.
