Dirk Nowitzki has played for 40 minutes. For a 35 year old veteran, playing 40 minutes in a single game is not easy.
What''s more, it''s still in the last game of the regular season, or in the coming playoffs.
"Dirk didn''t want to give up today. He tried to win the legendary 74 win Grizzlies!" Herbie Brown admired Dirk''s spirit. If ordinary people met Grizzlies, they would have given up.
74 wins, the NBA''s new record for the most wins in a single season, was set by the Memphis Grizzlies two days ago in Phoenix.
Since link led the team to defeat the heat to win 72, the Grizzlies began to take turns for the playoffs. But even so, the Grizzlies still defeated the already rotten Laker and the Suns struggling for the playoffs, and won an incredible 74 wins!
People believe that this time, it will really become a record that can not be broken.
For this, the Mavericks must thank grizzly. It was because the Grizzlies defeated the suns the day before yesterday to win 74, which gave Dallas the hope of returning to the playoffs.
As long as the Mavericks win today, they will surpass the Suns on the last day of the regular season, ranking eighth in the West!
So, even in the face of the 74 - win legendary Grizzlies, Dirk is still uncompromising. He is like 2011, dragging the whole team, against the most powerful forces in the League!
Nowitzki was sweating and his long hair was glued to his forehead.
The Grizzlies didn''t fight the Mavericks as hard as they could today. The main players and the substitutes played almost equally. It''s good to win 75, but Joel doesn''t want to take a risk. The Mavericks are here for the playoffs, and they play this game as their last.
Grizzlies will only suffer if they fight with them.
But even if the Grizzlies didn''t do their best, they still made the Mavericks fight very hard. The Mavericks were still two points behind the Grizzlies in the tenth minute of the fourth quarter.
At this point, it''s the Mavericks'' offensive round. Link sat on the bench, silently watching the old Mavericks drag their heavy pace forward.
Monta Ellis quickly crossed the half-time and quickly handed the ball to old Carter, who was in a good position on the flank.
"Half man, half god" is undoubtedly his dunk, but in fact Carter is not only a dunk. His accomplishments outside the three-point line are no lower than his own dunk.
Carter''s three-point shooting rate is as high as 39.4% this season, and it reached 40.6% last season. He''s always been a good three-way shooter, but people are focusing on his dunk and ignoring his equally good shot.
If he''s just a button player, he can''t be in the League at the age of 40.
Carter is ready to shoot, and Jimmy Butler jumps actively to block. However, in the air, Butler found that Carter did not take off at all, this is just a fake shot!
Carter immediately dribbled through, Butler immediately back to the ground.
But when young Butler looked back, he did not see Carter.
It turns out that Carter''s shooting and breakthrough are fake! He pretended to break through and deceive Butler to chase back. In fact, at the moment Butler turned back, he retreated to the three-point line again!
Old Carter, play Jimmy Butler around!
Finally, Carter in Butler''s stupefied time again three-point shot. This time, Carter did not waste the opportunity, three hollow into the net!
Dallas Mavericks over 1 point, they have a foot into the playoffs!
"Incredible state. I''m afraid this guy will be 40 years old." On the bench, Randolph beside link shook his head.
Although the Grizzlies are only playing with the reserve lineup, the Mavericks'' performance is amazing.
Link didn''t answer Randolph because he knew that being 40 was a small problem for Carter...
in the next round, the green dravidova was just near the three-point line when Monta Ellis grabbed him. Ellis has never been a good defender, but he also made 1.7 steals per game. He''s very quick, and if he doesn''t pay attention, it''s easy to lose the ball.
Ellis rushed to the court, but was blocked by delavidova. If it wasn''t for link''s education that he couldn''t deliberately hurt people, delavidova would now like to trip Ellis with a flying shovel.
Ellis in delavidova''s hard block under the layup missed, but the follow-up Carter has grabbed the offensive rebound.
The Grizzlies'' defense shrinks immediately. After all, the most dangerous place is under the basket.
"It''s over." When he saw that all his teammates rushed to Carter under the basket, link called out.
Sure enough, the next second Carter passed the ball out of the crowd and found the "German chariot" that had been emptied outside the three-point line.
Carter doesn''t have many assists, but that doesn''t mean he can''t pass the ball. In that sentence, Carter is not only a button general.Dirk received the basketball, which is undoubtedly the key to determine the outcome of the game. But Nowitzki had no waves in his heart at this time. He had experienced countless more fatal moments.
Outside the three-point line, Nowitzki jumped up and shot less than 30 cm from the ground. Although the jump is not high, the arc of Nowitzki''s shot is still very high.
Basketball is like a bomb dropped by a bomber, accurately "destroying" the target!
The net rolled and the basketball landed. The Mavericks cheered, they only used two attacks, from two points behind to four points ahead!
At this point, the initiative of the game was completely taken by the Mavericks, they also played confidence, after a few key rounds of frequent shooting!
Moreover, the Grizzlies, who lack the main players to lead, are obviously at a loss. The young players such as delavidova, Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris are not capable of taking charge of their own affairs at critical moments.
Although they were young players, Butler and Harris entered the League one year later than link...
in the end, with Nowitzki''s steady attack, the Mavericks finally made it to the end. 99-95, Dallas Mavericks narrowly beat Grizzlies by 4 points. The Mavericks hugged each other wildly and ran all over the field.
They''re not happy to beat the 74 - winning team, they''re happy to be in the playoffs!
Link stood up and admired the calf. But he didn''t hold back because soon, exactly four days later, the Grizzlies and the Mavericks would meet again.
The Dallas Mavericks won the game, allowing them to enter the playoffs as eighth in the Western Conference. So, the Mavericks'' first round playoff opponent is the Memphis Grizzlies!
In the playoffs, the Grizzlies won''t be as polite to the Mavericks as they are today.
Dirk came up to hug link with joy, a few years ago when he hugged link, the Mavericks just beat the Grizzlies to get to the finals. At that time, Dirk also said a lot of words to encourage link. He was worried that link would be depressed.
But now, just three years ago, when Nowitzki stood in front of the Grizzlies again, he has gone from winner to challenger. And link, too, is on his way to his second championship.
Nowitzki did not expect that link would achieve this in the future.
"We''ll meet again soon, won''t we?" Nowitzki laughed. His joy had not faded.
"Soon, in the same place, at the same time. But next time, it won''t be the same. " Link a relaxed face, once again in the Western Conference finals to eliminate their own Mavericks, link is not nervous at all.
After all, it''s not what it used to be.
"Ha ha, you are still so confident. I know you''re not doing your best today. You''re saving for the playoffs. But believe me, we can also be more powerful in the playoffs
I don''t know if it is the reason why Nowitzki is too kind. When he said these words, link did not feel any deterrent.
Link didn''t take it seriously. He shook hands with Nowitzki and turned away.
Eighth in the west, where can it be stronger?
In fact, the Mavericks won the 50th in the Western Conference! The Miami Heat won four more games than the eighth in the Western Conference this season!
When link, who had a relaxed face, walked to the door of the dressing room, as if there was a sudden power failure, he suddenly stopped and suddenly raised his head.
Randolph, who walked behind link, did not pay attention to talking to others, so he ran into link who stopped suddenly.
"What''s the matter? Why stop all of a sudden? "
"It''s nothing. It just reminds me of something." Link, still smiling, walked into the dressing room.
But in his heart, link couldn''t laugh long ago.
Why is the Dallas Mavericks eighth in the west, but so strong? Link has just been thinking about it. Then, he suddenly remembered something from the original history about the 2014 playoffs.
In its original history, the 2014 champion was the San Antonio Spurs. Spurs in the finals played the ultimate team basketball, hit rate is frightening, Leonard also became fmvp, opened the way to superstar.
In this year''s playoffs, it was not the heat that caused the championship spurs the biggest trouble, but the Dallas Mavericks they met in the first round!
Link still remember, at that time, the Mavericks and the championship spurs hit seven, nearly created the black eight miracle!
If the Mavericks had really won the Spurs, who knows if Nowitzki would have recreated his success in 2011!
Thinking of this, link''s mind is no longer so relaxed. The strongest opponent in the first round was just met by Grizzlies!
Link doesn''t want the team in the first round to get into a fight. He doesn''t want the Spurs history to repeat itself in the Grizzlies.
The eighth in the west, it''s not that simple. After 4 days, you have to do your best!www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
