Chapter 237
The fourth quarter started quickly, and Philadelphia's Rayong rested off the court, and Aaron McGee went to the No. 1 position.
Ragabel was reaching around the baseline when McGee pointed to the east and west and slipped the ball into the hands of substitute Spinner.
Spinner turned to make a basket, but his movement was too big and the referee whistled for a foul.
Wasted a good assist, now I've learned this trick when I play next to Rayong.
It's kind of interesting.
The camera kept cutting to Rayong and Iverson on the sidelines.
Iverson, who was dressed in a baseball uniform, pressed his hand on the other party's shoulder and kept whispering something, and it could be seen that he was in a very good mood.
Xu Jicheng: Iverson finally doesn't have to be so tired, and he can finally take good care of his knees and ankles.
At this time, just let the young people do it, and raise their own spirit to play in the playoffs or qualifying.
Coach Zhang: It's difficult to chase him in the East now, you have to win by yourself, and you have to count on the other side to lose or even lose in a row, now the main thing is to compete with the Spurs and Lakers in the West for the first place in the league to prepare for the final home court advantage.
Xu Jicheng: Yes, after all, the Lakers have a background there, and this season they traded Gary Payton and Karl Malone, which are running for the championship, and it is not easy for Philadelphia to meet them.
After all, the playoffs are series, don't look at Malone and Payton are a year older, but these two are very experienced, and they both know how to drag each other into their own rhythm to play.
The Mavericks' Nash is maneuvering with a bunch of benches.
Marquis Daniels, one of the double ugly, hit a long two-point shot at the top of the arc after receiving a pass from Nash.
Philadelphia's Spinner finally got the ball on the inside, and after shaking his shoulders twice, he bounced out, shot diagonally, and hit the board.
There is a certain element of luck in this ball, after all, the opponent's inside line is higher than him, and it is also pressed out.
Spinner wanted to pass the ball, but the opportunity didn't come out, it was a passive shot, and there really was.
Iverson, who was on the sidelines, blew his fingers hard at the other party, and Rayong also got up and clapped his hands.
The morale of the visiting team was greatly boosted, and they continued to press the opponent with intensity, which brought about a significant increase in fouls in this quarter, and they also received four fouls early, accumulating enough fouls.
You can't defend like this anymore, otherwise you'll be giving away points for nothing.
After nearly five minutes of play, the main forces on both sides appeared one after another.
There was a change of direction on the Mavericks' side, Michael Finley was pressed to the bench for some reason, and it was rookie Josh Howard who replaced him.
Look, look, see how the Detroit Pistons' Larry Brown is using rookies.
You can press the team's leading perimeter to the bench for a rookie.
Bradley is still on the bench, and Nowitzki is still the No. 5 position.
In a dead-ball session, Coach Bol also pulled Brandon Haywood down, his pace was too slow, and he was too easy to be targeted by the opposing team's breakthrough players when changing defenses.
Coleman is back on the pitch, and his striker with Van Horn is still very good, and he is not afraid of this crazy team.
The Mavericks' ball came to Nowitzki's hand, and he caught it a little far from the basket.
In the face of Rayong's close defense, he slowly bent down and directly raised his leg and withdrew his hand.
"Huh!"
Rayong was not annoyed, motioning for McGee to put the ball in his hands, while reaching out to chase away Van Horn, who was about to come up to block it.
Director Zhang: This look is very firm, and he waved his hand directly to let Van Horn walk away, it seems that he is going to fight back directly.
Rayong's defense against Nowitzki also put the ball at his waist, and after making a undulation, he suddenly raised his right leg and stepped back to shoot.
"Whew!!"
Golden Rooster Independence?
Golden Rooster Independence?
This ball is really hard enough, and it hits the opponent in almost the same way in front of the opponent.
The distance of this ball is really far enough, and it can be stepped on the three-point line.
It was harder than Nowitzki's previous round, and he leaned back even more.
"Dirk!"
"Dirk!"
Xu Jicheng: Oh, the mood of the fans at the scene has also risen, it seems that they have enjoyed watching it, and they have shouted for Nowitzki to fight back.
Nash still understands the world, and immediately after half-time he hit the ground to find Nowitzki on the right.
Nowitzki wasn't in a hurry to get off the ball, he was using his shoulders to feel the defensive position behind him.
Rayong was still tight, and Nowitzki tried to shake his shoulders twice before pulling out a half-step to get off the ball and walk to the left.
Moving in the direction of a teammate, it looks like you're looking for cover.
Jamison came up to block it!
Coach Zhang: Hey, this block is not easy to break, both big men can shoot, both have a good outside shooting rate, press one step inside and go straight to the basket, and one step out can also shoot directly, there are more choices.
As he spoke, Nowitzki began to squeeze through, and Rayong quickly pushed through the wall to follow.
It's passed!
The German tank still passed the ball!
But not Jamison, but in the direction of Nash, who is diagonal.
Still looking for three points?
Aaron McGee slid past with a lunge, and Nash just squatted down and passed to Jamison, who took a step and then glided to the basket.
Xu Jicheng: I played really patiently, and I was not in a hurry to pass the ball, and I went too far to the far end, so as to consume the opponent's defensive energy first, and then give it to Jamison with Nash as a transit station.
Philadelphia can learn from this, when Rayong is caught or defended hard, Van Horn or Coleman, who is raised, can first give it to the far end, and then go out to catch the ball and shoot directly, so that the pressure is much less.
Aaron McGee held the ball across the half court and hit the ground to Van Horn at the top of the arc, who began to dribble sideways.
In the face of Jamison's defense, he first took the initiative to take a step up, and then pulled back to shoot, too!
It's very silky.
The Mavericks' Nowitzki gave the ball to Jamison, who acted as the dealer at the top of the arc in the final, smashing Josh Howard on the left baseline.
Unfortunately, Howard's three-pointer was a little harder and popped out of the frame.
But Nowitzki rushed in and clicked the rebound in.
Hey, this ball can't be touched, it hasn't left the basket yet, it's an offensive interference ball!
It's too urgent!
It's a pity for this ball!
Nowitzki, who rarely showed off his old cold legs, touched his head in embarrassment, and kept shaking his arm in the direction of Don Nelson on the sidelines, implying the words: This ball is mine, mine!
