Chapter 351 Sweeping Black 8!

After the third game between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks, the SuperSonics became the first team to advance to the playoffs this year.

Before the playoffs start, let fans and experts predict.

Among the eight groups in this year's playoffs, which group will be the first to advance?

Fans and experts will definitely shout out the Mavericks and SuperSonics in unison.

In a duel with the biggest disparity in strength, excluding the schedule arrangement, it is natural to have the fastest promotion point.

In the eight groups of games in the first round of this year's playoffs, it was indeed the Mavericks and SuperSonics that took the lead in reaching the promotion point.

The other seven groups played against each other.

The Celtics, who are first in the Eastern Conference, temporarily lead the Magic, who are eighth in the Eastern Conference, 2-1.

After losing two games in a row on the road, the Magic returned to home and defeated the Celtics at home with difficulty thanks to the performances of Turkoglu, Grant Hill, and Earl Watson, who was traded from the SuperSonics.

Turkoglu, Hill and Watson scored 65 points together in this game. The performance of the three was quite outstanding.

As the head player of the Magic, Howard is still half-dead.

Little Warcraft, who loves happiness and advocates loyalty, had a very frustrating first playoff trip in his career.

For the first time in my life, I encountered a tough and dark combination like Garnett and Perkins. Before happiness, I need to feel pain.

The Pistons, second in the Eastern Conference, and the Nets, seventh in the Eastern Conference, are now 2-1. The Pistons were beaten back by the Nets in their third game.

The Nets are now preparing to break up, and all the people's hearts have dispersed. Carter and Kidd's minds are now visibly wandering, and they have long drifted to who knows where.

There are now 16 teams in the playoffs, and the news around the Nets is all about trades.

Judging from the news surrounding the Nets, Kidd and Carter have been sent away countless times.

People's minds change.

People's thoughts are moved.

This is the case for both leaders. The Nets were not defeated 3-0 by the Pistons because of the third leader Richard Jefferson.

Carter and Kidd's hearts were in confusion now.

Jefferson's heart was not yet in a state of confusion.

Jefferson's performance in this series was outstanding, and this game was especially outstanding. Facing the Pistons, he scored 28 points efficiently at home.

Coupled with the explosion of substitute forward Posjan Nakba, the Nets miraculously won a game against the Pistons.

The big score between the third-place Wizards in the East and the sixth-place Cavaliers in the East is now 2-1.

The Cavaliers, who were trailing 2-0, returned to their home court and played much better than they did on the road.

In this game, James' shooting percentage was still very average, with 27 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists on 8 of 22 shots.

But compared to the previous two games, James was much more determined.

James went crazy in this game, and was caught by the referee crazily. In the first two games, James was very timid.

He looks like he wants to win but is afraid of not being able to win, and he wants to lose but is afraid of losing too badly.

After being humiliated by the Wizards in two games and facing the impending situation of being swept, James finally took off his headband.

Although James' shooting percentage in this game was not high, he made 11 of 13 free throws, which is quite rare.

In addition, the Cavaliers' Drew Gooden also broke out, so in the end the Cavaliers got their wish and won without being swept by the Wizards.

This game also proved once again that James, who has given up everything and doesn't want to win so much, is still very strong.

Even though he is currently experiencing great difficulties on the court, he has been repaying his fans' loans and blowing his debt off the court.

The Bulls, fourth in the Eastern Conference, and the Heat, fifth in the Eastern Conference, are currently 2-1.

The Bulls lead the Heat 2-1.

Wade struggled with the aging Heat, and the Bulls' Ben Gordon and Luol Deng performed shockingly.

Ben Gordon and Luol Deng scored more than 20 points in each of the three games.

The Bulls showed their amazing talents to the world!

Especially Ben Gordon.

Ben Gordon, who has always been known as a little Yes, now really seems to be a bit of a Yes.

Every time the Heat get going, Ben Gordon always stands up and becomes the most critical player in the game.

The key ball ability in this year's playoffs is extremely strong!

The game between the Suns, second in the Western Conference, and the Lakers is now 2-1.

After losing two games in a row on the road, the Lakers returned to their home court and defeated the Suns 95-93 at home with Kobe's performance of 45 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

In this game, Kobe sent out 6 attacks, which was more than his assists in the previous two games combined.

Kobe, who has found his passing key, seems to be able to make the Lakers stronger.

It’s not just Kobe who looks stronger.

His teammates also look stronger.

Kwame Brown, who started in place of Bynum in this game, scored 19 points.

In this game, the Lakers finally launched a stuck version of the triangle offense.

But because Kwame Brown does not have the ability to cope.

Except for Kobe's 46 points in the triangle, Odom's 18 points, and Kwame Brown's 19 points, the other Lakers players only scored 13 points on 3-for-23 shooting.

Is the performance of other Lakers role players really too weak, or is Kwame Brown unable to lead them?

It's hard to tell.

Maybe both, because in addition to his 19 points, Kwame Brown also has 0 assists in his statistics.

But even the stuck version of the triangle offense caught the unprepared Suns off guard.

The match between the third-place Rockets in the West and the sixth-place Nuggets in the West is now 2-0.

In the first playoff game when Anthony and Iverson teamed up, the two performed very well. Iverson scored 31 points on 11-of-22 shooting, and Anthony scored 30 points on 10-of-18 shooting.

But the final result was that the Nuggets lost to the Rockets 95-110.

The two guns combined to score 61 points, and the team actually lost by 15 points in the end.

With the Nuggets performing so well, it seemed like there was no chance of defeating the Rockets.

On the road, the Nuggets, who were unable to play passionately, looked miserable.

Camby and Nene's inside line was smashed by Yao Ming.

The perimeters of Iverson and Anthony have no advantage against the perimeters of Roy, McGrady and Ariza.

The strength of the Nuggets players is actually very good.

There are superstars like Anthony and Iverson, as well as high-quality role players like Jr. Smith, Nene and Camby.

But the Nuggets seem to be fighting alone, and no one can organize this team at all.

On the contrary, for the Rockets on the opposite side, if they want to fight alone, they can go up to Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. If that doesn't work, Roy can go up and beat someone up.

To organize, Roy, who plays point guard, doesn't have that many assists, but he can always get the ball to Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady reasonably, selflessly and in a timely manner.

The Rockets' offensive rhythm looked very orderly under Roy's supervision, while the opposite Nuggets looked so chaotic.

Such chaos can't even lead to Iverson and Anthony's efficient double 30. What will happen when Iverson and Anthony are not so efficient?

In the second game between the Rockets and the Nuggets, Anthony made 8 of 21 shots and Iverson made 9 of 25 shots. In the end, the Nuggets lost 88 to 108 on the road by 20 points.

Apart from the offensive chaos, on the defensive end the Nuggets can allow a defensive team like the Rockets to average 109 points per game. You can imagine how bad the Nuggets' defense is.

Although the Nuggets are now 0-2 behind, they haven't lost at home yet, and the Nuggets seem to still have a chance.

After all, the Nuggets' plateau home court and their impactful style of play are a huge bonus at home.

The Jazz, fourth in the Western Conference, and the Spurs, fifth in the Western Conference, are now 1-2.

Like the Mavericks and SuperSonics, this is one of the rare matchups this year in which the top seeds are behind by a big margin.

This series between the Spurs and Jazz was ugly.

The two teams were so defensive that they wished there were no basketballs on the court.

In the Jazz's two home games, the Jazz, which had not yet entered the playoffs due to the regular season, were defeated by the Spurs in two consecutive games.

It wasn't until the third game that the Jazz entered the playoffs from the loose state of the regular season and kept up with the Spurs' sprint rhythm.

In the third game, facing the Jazz who were in the state and young and powerful, the Spurs played very passively.

The Spurs, who had won two consecutive away games, returned home and were defeated by the Jazz 81-77.

In this game, Duncan scored 26 points, Ginobili scored 20 points, Parker scored 22 points, and other Spurs players scored a total of 9 points. After sprinting for less than half of the season in the regular season, the aging Spurs reached the playoffs. Finally, the tenacious Jazz got rid of his fatigue in advance.

The Spurs want a quick victory to get some rest, but the Jazz are one of the few teams in the league whose mental attributes are not lower than the Spurs.

Because, the Jazz have Jerry Sloan.

Jerry Sloan has never been defeated by an outside enemy, not even Jordan!

There are eight groups of playoff matchups, and the other seven groups of matchups are more or less suspenseful.

Only the Mavericks and SuperSonics lost suspense in three games as expert fans predicted before the start of the playoffs.

However, the reason for the loss of suspense was not that the Mavericks defeated the SuperSonics 3-0, but that the SuperSonics defeated the Mavericks 3-0!

A team with a 3-0 lead has never been overturned in NBA history.

So, now the whole world knows that the Mavericks have actually been eliminated.

However, now the Sonics still need to go through a formality and really send the Mavericks away.

It is precisely for this reason that after the third game against the Mavericks, the Sonics became quite relaxed.

Before playing the Mavericks, Scott Brooks was anxious.

During the regular season, the Sonics were targeted by the Mavericks. Everyone in the Mavericks would praise the Sonics when everything was fine. It was a compliment in name, but in reality it was all intimidation.

Intimidating Scott Brooks is depressed.

As the team's assistant coach, the team was targeted by the number one player in the league, but the team's head coach was still indifferent, and the team's leading players were not interested either.

It seems as if he is the only assistant coach who is worried about the team and thinking about how to face the threat of the league's first.

How could he, an ordinary NBA assistant coach, figure out how to deal with being number one in the league?

This frightened Brooks so much that he had nightmares every day, and every night in his dreams was the image of being ravaged by a calf.

Only now did he realize that Coach Nelson was not indifferent, but he had a plan in mind!

It’s not that Yes has no interest, but he has the same strength and courage to beat anyone!

It turns out that from the beginning, neither Coach Nelson nor Yes took the Mavericks seriously.

If he had known this, he wouldn't be so worried.

You see, those players in the SuperSonics are so carefree now.

I never thought about the threat of the Mavericks before, but now I just follow Yes and Nelson and yell at the Mavericks to kill them.

but……

"Mr. Nelson, are you worried about the team's fourth game against the Mavericks?"

At the SuperSonics training ground, Scott Brooks looked at Yes, who was practicing offensive and defensive exercises with Milicic on the training ground, with a surprised expression on his face.

The current situation of the Sonics is extremely good.

It can be said that without pursuing a sweep, the Sonics can already declare, "I'm already thinking about the next round."

As long as the Sonics don't make mistakes, wait for the Mavericks to play their cards, and take advantage of the situation.

But Nelson asked Yes to try to defend Milicic early this morning.

This intention is quite obvious.

Nelson is worried about Game 4.

Brooks really doesn't know what the Mavericks have to worry about in the fourth stop.

The collapsed Mavericks only have a sweeping fate waiting for them!

"I know Dirk very well. Dirk is not a person who can be knocked down easily. He is stronger than the world thinks."

Stronger than the world thought?

Scott Brooks was stunned for a moment.

Is Coach Nelson evaluating Dirk Nowitzki?

The biggest softie who is now being ridiculed by media and fans across the United States and around the world?

Scott Brooks always feels like he can bitch and rant right now.

Coach Nelson is good at everything, but sometimes he is just too extreme.

If Nowitzki really had such tenacity and character, the SuperSonics wouldn't have won the last three quarters.

"Mr. Nelson is worried that Nowitzki will knock off PJ early in the next game?"

"Pj's small defensive talents are extremely good, but he is only a rookie."

Scott Brooks nodded slightly.

This is true.

In the second game, Nowitzki beat Tucker to six fouls with five minutes left in the game.

So after the second game between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks, many American media and experts believed that in the third game between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks, Nowitzki and the Mavericks would specifically target Tucker.

But who could have imagined that in the third game, the Mavericks' Nowitzki collapsed under tremendous pressure.

Experts and media across the United States are now making fun of Nowitzki as the biggest softie in NBA history. Not only was he reversed in the finals last year, but he seems to have been hacked again this year.

His choices in many situations in this series have been very problematic.

Even after the third game between the Mavericks and the SuperSonics, many media reported that Nowitzki collapsed before the game and cried in the bathroom of the locker room.

In the end, such rumors were refuted by the Mavericks.

There was indeed someone in the Mavericks who couldn't stand the pressure and cried before Game 3, but that person was not Nowitzki.

But no matter what, Nowitzki didn't target Tucker in the third game, but targeted Tucker in the fourth game. Scott Brooks didn't believe anything he said.

At the end of the second game, Coach Nelson did not let Yes practice interior defense in training.

Coach Nelson has been asking Yes to do offensive training before.

That's when Yes' offense helped the team even more.

Now Coach Nelson is asking Yes to adapt to interior defense. Does this mean that Yes' defense is more important to the SuperSonics in the next game?

Nowitzki will knock Tucker out. Will Yes step up when the time comes?

If Nowitzki and the Mavericks do what Coach Nelson guessed in Game 4.

So Coach Nelson’s familiarity with the Mavericks is too scary? !

It’s scary just thinking about it!

"Yes's small defense ability is really amazing!"

"The skills look better than pj's!"

"Whether it's the timing of getting close to someone, the timing of hitting someone, or the way he exerts force, it all looks better than PJ!"

Since Tucker became famous for his defense on Nowitzki.

At the Sonics training ground, the training program of small defense and big defense has become the training program of stars.

Everyone wants to try it.

If it weren't for the Sonics' limited big inside players, and if it weren't for the limitations of Nelson, each of them would want to play with Milicic.

Milicic is the Sonics' only big man inside, and he is precious both in games and in training.

Previously in the SuperSonics, Tucker was the only one who could use Milicic in training.

Now there are more Yes.

Watching Yeos and Milicic's small defense practice.

The surrounding Sonics players were amazed and quite surprised.

But Ye Si's brows were always furrowed.

His small defense skills, timing, and experience are all superior to Tucker's.

His core strength isn't bad either, with a strength attribute of 90 right now.

His strength is advantageous against most defenders in the league.

It hit Conroy and Devin Harris.

However, facing the inside, his strength confrontation is still quite difficult.

In the arena, strength confrontation is not only related to core strength, but also related to body weight.

His weight is only 85 kilograms.

Tucker weighs nearly 100 kilograms.

Except for weight, he is better than Tucker in everything about small defense and big defense.

But the most important thing about strength confrontation is weight.

It is precisely because of his weight that his ability to defend the inside is not as good as Tucker's, and the difference may be a bit far behind.

However, this series with the Mavericks.

Tucker is responsible for the main small defense and big tasks.

He's just a backup when Tucker gets into foul trouble.

So this level of small defense and big ability is actually enough.

In the fourth game, Nowitzki may try his best to attack Tucker. This is also Nelson's guess.

No one knows whether Nowitzki will do this.

But Yesi is partial to Nelson's guess.

If Nowitzki is really a person like Nelson said.

This will surprise and look forward to Ye Si.

He doesn't mind sending Nowitzki out of the playoffs with his own hands.

The sweep of the Mavericks is irreversible!

"In the first round of the series, they actually chose the SuperSonics as their opponent. Tsk, tsk, the Dallas Mavericks are really unlucky. I didn't expect that the fragrant shark fin suddenly turned into a man-eating shark!"

"In the final analysis, the Mavericks still underestimated the magic of Yes. The playoffs are where miracles happen. If they are really capable, forget it. At the level of the Mavericks, they will just abuse them in the regular season."

"Last year, the Mavericks led the Heat 2-0 in the Finals. It was not without reason that they were reversed by Miami Miracle Wade. This team is a complete pseudo-powerful team!"

"The Dallas Mavericks are not a pseudo-strong team. Any team with 65+ wins in the NBA is not a pseudo-strong team. They are just not as strong as they think, and their opponents are not as weak as they imagine."

"Rodney, we all understand what you are saying, but now the Mavericks are the biggest laughing stock in the world, and Nowitzki is the biggest softie in the world. Isn't that true? Hahahaha..."

In the training hall of Eastern Washington University, Rodney Stuckey shrugged helplessly.

He and his trashy teammates can't find any common ground.

These people are not professional players at all. No professional player will make fun of the Mavericks now. They will only think that the Mavericks are very sad and pitiful.

Maybe anyone could win, but they just ran into Yes and the Sonics.

At first, he was afraid of the competition with Roy Nette Robinson, didn't want to play as a substitute in his freshman year, and wanted to enter the NBA early. He rejected the invitation from the University of Washington and came to Eastern Washington University to dominate.

His previous decision now made him regret it extremely.

Trash is trash, make trash into diamonds.

This is something only Yes can do.

He really can't do it.

Thinking of this, Starkey's face showed a look of pain and hesitation.

What were once Washington State's twin walls are now one in the sky and one on the ground.

The one in the sky can already dominate the NBA playoffs.

The one on the ground has no chance of entering the lottery even if he participates in the draft.

Six years ago, he and Yes were not on the same level.

Four years ago, he thought he had surpassed Yes.

But now, he found that he and Yes couldn't even compare.

Not far away, the atmosphere of despair permeated the air was the Dallas Mavericks.

The current Dallas Mavericks remind Stuckey of six years ago.

At that time, like the Mavericks and Nowitzki now, he was beaten to despair by Yes.

The difference is that the place where he was at that time was the Washington State state competition.

The Mavericks and Nowitzki are at the top of basketball, the NBA!

Six years ago, Yes began dominating the state tournament in Washington state.

Six years later, Yes has begun to dominate the NBA!

And he was still chasing Yes's back, getting further and further away, a back that was hopelessly impossible to catch up with.

The Dallas Mavericks chose Eastern Washington University as the training facility for their away game in Seattle.

Eastern Washington University is not located in Seattle.

It is impossible for Seattle universities such as the University of Washington or Seattle University to lend their training facilities to the Mavericks.

After all, the Mavericks' opponent is the SuperSonics, and the SuperSonics have Yes, and Yes's influence in the Seattle basketball community is not limited to the NBA.

The Mavericks selected Eastern Washington University as the team's away home before the playoffs began.

At that time, they really didn't think that their decision would be so correct.

Cheney, where Eastern Washington University is located, has a population of only 10,000.

It's quiet, peaceful and seemingly secluded.

But even so, there are now countless people waiting to laugh at them gathered outside the training hall of Eastern Washington University.

In the training hall of Eastern Washington University, the way their coaches and Eastern Washington University players looked at them was not at all like the way an NCAA team looks at the No. 1 team in the NBA regular season.

The ridicule, contempt and disdain in the eyes of the Eastern Washington University players made the Mavericks feel as if they were suffocating.

They used to fly around the United States to play away games. Which university training facility went to where they were not worshiped as idols?

The college teams that worship them include some of the most famous and powerful teams in the NCAA.

In front of those famous and powerful teams in the NCAA, what does Eastern Washington University mean?

Nothing counts!

In the past, Mavericks would not even look at this garbage.

But now, they are being looked down upon by the trash they once looked down upon!

Luckily this was still in Cheney, what if they were in Seattle now?

Unimaginable!

They don’t want attention and they don’t want to feel the ill will from the world.

But now, they are surrounded by malice from the world!

This kind of pressure makes the calf collapse from top to bottom!

They are number one in the Western Conference!

Now they are like the clowns of the world!

There is no respect from the world on them!

Junior General Johnson has calmed down after losing three consecutive games in despair.

He knew his coaching career was over.

He's not George Karl or Pat Riley, he doesn't have that high of a status.

, the Nuggets and Heat had never been as miserable as him.

Black Eight was unable to fight back. This was the first time in NBA history.

Young General Johnson was a little self-deprecating.

He accepts the current criticism of him by public opinion across the United States.

But he just wasn't willing to give in!

I am not a black coach, the players are all black players!

If he was leading his own team, he would never be hacked by Coach Nelson!

Junior General Johnson took a deep look at Nowitzki on the training field.

In the past two seasons, he has been trying to correct Josh Howard in the team overtly or covertly.

Under Nelson, Josh Howard was a defensive player. After he took over as the head coach of the Mavericks, Josh Howard was transformed into an offensive player.

He has always known that Nowitzki is not his player.

The traces of Old Nelson on him are too deep.

It was so deep that after the Mavericks were beaten 2-0 in two games, Nowitzki wanted to continue to beat Tucker in the third game, but he directly refused.

He believed in Nowitzki's strength, but he didn't believe in Nowitzki's strength when facing Nelson.

In the third game, he chose to change the team's main attack point from Nowitzki to Josh Howard.

In the end, the Mavericks collapsed in the third quarter.

The Mavericks collapsed in Game 3, an unprecedented collapse.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with his tactics.

After all, Josh Howard played the game with a true first core for the first time.

He doesn't hate Josh Howard for letting him down.

He just wished he hadn't been able to straighten Josh Howard earlier.

After Nelson left, he has been transforming the Mavericks and transforming the Mavericks into his team.

He thought he was almost successful.

Only after this series did he realize how naive his previous thinking was.

Nowitzki, the man brought out by Nelson, still remains in the Mavericks and is still the first core of the Mavericks. He will never be able to turn the Mavericks into his team!

After calming down, the young general Johnson suddenly discovered that although Hei Ba was in pain.

But it may not be an opportunity for him.

As long as he can prove that his team is stronger than the team left by Nelson, he can use this black eight to force the Mavericks to carry out thorough reforms and completely turn the Mavericks into his team.

With Josh Howard as the core, beat the Sonics once!

Just once and that’s it!

In the past, he had no reason to let Josh Howard be the core. Now, he has reason to change the core position from Nowitzki to Josh Howard.

"OK, guys, gather!"

Looking at the Mavericks players standing in front of him, young general Johnson took a deep breath.

Is it a sad departure or a phoenix's rebirth?

It depends on tomorrow’s game!

"Josh, how have you been preparing for these two days?"

Junior General Johnson looked at Josh Howard with high hopes.

But facing the eyes of young general Johnson, Josh Howard lowered his head in a flash.

Um?

Junior General Johnson was stunned for a moment.

"Avery, that's it for now. Leave the next game to us, to... Dirk."

Jason...Terry? !

Looking at the stunned young general Johnson, Nowitzki's face was filled with disappointment.

He is willing to put the team first.

But not everyone is like this.

Sonics, Nellie and Yes...

See you tomorrow!

April 29, 2007, Seattle Key Arena, the MVP roar from the audience!

The Key Arena, which can accommodate more than 16,000 spectators, has an astonishing 125% occupancy rate today!

This is Game 4 of this series between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Dallas Mavericks.

After the SuperSonics took a 3-0 lead, this game was a carnival game for the entire Seattle!

Before the game started, Seattle's most influential local newspaper, The Stranger, made a front-page headline that called on the SuperSonics to prepare for the promotion carnival after the game.

Promotion carnival!

The SuperSonics were already preparing for a promotion carnival before the game!

The float is now outside Key Arena!

The big score of 3-0 gave Seattle fans a lot of confidence!

What's more, the Mavericks collapsed in the last game.

It is no longer a secret that Josh Howard, the Mavericks' second-in-command, hid in the bathroom of the locker room and cried after talking to Mavericks head coach Johnson.

The second-in-command of a team has collapsed, so what fighting capacity does this team have?

Therefore, SuperSonics fans have not only prepared promotion floats in advance, but also a large number of Mark Cuban's faces have appeared in the Key Arena.

The sign with Mark Cuban’s face clearly reads: The Four!

Four games, that’s it!

This is the Sonics fans' counterattack against Mark Cuban, and it is also an ultimate release for someone who was wildly underestimated before the playoffs!

However, after the game started, the SuperSonics were shocked by the state of the Mavericks players!

Nowitzki starts with a strong attack!

Crazy attack, attack Tucker regardless of cost.

Nowitzki's weakness in post-up offense was infinitely amplified by Nelson in this series.

But apart from back-up offense, Nowitzki's ball-handling offense and head-on offense are still first-class or even top-notch in the paint.

When Nowitzki didn't care about the outcome of the game or whether his style of play was toxic, his offense put tremendous pressure on Tucker!

Tucker's defense against Nowitzki was originally based on personal defense.

There is always a lot of physical contact.

Even if Nowitzki's offensive efficiency is not high under Tucker's defense, he can still cause great damage to Tucker!

After the first quarter, Tucker was fouled three times by Nowitzki!

Nelson still kept Tucker on the court when Tucker fouled twice.

Nelson's decision made the Sonics fans on the sidelines tremble with fear!

There is no need to emphasize how important Tucker is to the Sonics in this series.

Without Tucker, the Sonics would never be 3-0 against the Mavericks.

So when Tucker was hit for his third foul by Nowitzki, who played the entire first quarter, the SuperSonics fans on the sidelines were heartbroken.

Even if their MVP voice is the loudest at this time!

"Yes, don't worry about the battle between pj and Dirk, or the number of fouls pj has committed. You have only one task now, and that is to score. You can score by yourself, or you can help your teammates score. I want the Sonics to stay on the field with pj. Get an absolute lead when you go up!"

"Pj, don't worry about your number of fouls. Your only role on the court is to reduce Dirk's offensive efficiency. As long as Dirk's offensive efficiency drops, it only makes sense for you to stay on the court as long as possible!"

"Guys, I don't want to go to Dallas for this series!"

After Tucker was fouled twice by Nowitzki in the first quarter, it was the first time that Nelson's crazy Sonics players were seen.

This is the first time they have seen such a decisive head coach!

Even Malik Rose, who has been with **Vic for many years, and Sonics assistant coach Scott Brooks, who has been in the league for many years, are shocked!

Considering how important Tucker is to the Sonics in this series, they actually dare to use him like this!

Under the madness of Nelson and Nowitzki.

Tucker used three fouls in the first quarter to give the Sonics an 8-point lead, 28 to 20. This was the score of the first quarter between the two sides!

In the second quarter, Nowitzki was still bombarding Tucker regardless of the cost.

Mavericks players are also supporting Nowitzki at all costs.

Nowitzki played 9 minutes in the second quarter and fouled Tucker twice!

After the first half, Tucker's number of regulations reached 5 times!

When Tucker committed his fifth foul of the game, there was 1 minute left in the second quarter.

Looking at Tucker who was still on the court next to him, Nowitzki's eyes were not on Tucker, but on Old Nelson standing on the sidelines.

Scott Brooks on the side saw Nowitzki and Nelson looking at each other like this. Brooks was so scared that his legs were shaking.

This pair of crazy masters and disciples!

Scott Brooks really didn't expect that the number one softie in history who is now being ridiculed by fans and experts across the United States and the world would have such a side!

"He is stronger than the world thinks!"

This is what Nelson said before.

Old Mr. Nelson knew this game would be like this!

Is this the famous handsome man? !

Is this the difference between us ordinary coaches and famous coaches?

Brooks couldn't help but look at the young general Johnson on the other side.

Now the guy who was known as the first head coach of the new generation now looks stunned!

Like himself, he never thought that this game would turn out like this!

At the end of the first half, the score on the field was 54 to 43!

The Seattle SuperSonics lead by 11 points at home!

An 11-point difference is neither too big nor too small in the NBA playoffs.

Combined with the previous big score of 3-0, SuperSonics fans should be relieved.

But in fact, at the end of halftime, the hearts of SuperSonics fans and Seattle celebrities on the sidelines were in their throats!

"As long as Tucker is taken off the court, the 11-point difference will be a fleeting difference for the unfettered Mavericks!"

"The outcome of this game is yet to be determined!"

In front of the TV, **Vic's palms were sweating.

Yes or Nowitzki?

These two are his Spurs' nemesis!

Facing Yes, he was swept this season.

Facing Nowitzki, he has won less and lost more in the past two seasons.

But these two people are the ones the Spurs will face after advancing!

This year's Spurs playoff journey is really miserable!

However, even Nelson has made Nowitzki's weaknesses known to the world.

**Veach still feels that if the Spurs really enter the second round, it would be better to play the SuperSonics than the Mavericks.

Although the Spurs were swept by the SuperSonics in the regular season, the point difference in each game was very close. Within a millisecond, the overall strength of the team was still superior to the Spurs.

But the Mavericks are different.

The Spurs can't grasp Nowitzki's weakness!

The Spurs don't have a player like Tucker.

If Nowitzki's weakness cannot be grasped, the Mavericks' strength will be higher than that of the Spurs.

If possible, **Vitch certainly hopes that the Mavericks can fight back. The most beneficial result for the Spurs is that the Mavericks will chase three games in a row and be eliminated by the SuperSonics.

Falling behind 3-0 and chasing three games in a row, the probability is too low!

So **Vicci also knew that his expectation was just a dream.

But no matter what, the Mavericks can chase as many games as they want, and they will definitely not be swept away by the SuperSonics!

The SuperSonics sweeping the Mavericks is definitely the result the Spurs least want to see!

The SuperSonics swept the Mavericks and the Spurs will lose two days of rest!

For the current Spurs, even half a day's rest is extremely precious.

It's really hard to imagine that Vicki and the Spurs players are actually cheering for the Mavericks now.

"Tucker's small defense is very good, but he is inexperienced and prone to fouls on defense. When Tucker comes off the field in the third quarter is extremely important to the outcome of this game!"

"The Mavericks want to win, the sooner Tucker leaves the game in the third quarter, the better!"

The third quarter started and the game reached the third minute.

The referee on duty, Dick Bavetta, pointed the foul signal at Tucker.

The fans who had been shouting MVP since the beginning of the game fell silent for a moment as if they were suffocated.

The young Tucker was still fooled and reached out and was beaten down by Nowitzki!

There are 21 minutes left in the game!

The score on the court now is 60 to 47!

The current point difference is 13 points, but the Sonics no longer have Tucker!

three minutes!

After only playing three minutes in the third quarter, Tucker was beaten by Nowitzki!

**Vicci stood up excitedly at this moment.

The Mavericks can win this game!

In his calculations, with a 13-point difference, as long as Tucker is defeated within five minutes, the Mavericks have a chance!

"Coach Nelson is going to call a timeout!"

**The expression on Vicki's face now is extremely excited.

Coach Nelson had already used a lot of timeout opportunities in the first half.

The Sonics' timeout opportunities in the second half were valuable.

Coach Nelson is now ready to use the precious timeout opportunity here, which shows that he has also seen the SuperSonics' crisis.

Um?

Yes stopped Coach Nelson's timeout suggestion on the court? !

"Yes?!"

"Leave the rest to me."

Yesi stopped Old Nelson's request for a timeout and patted Tucker, who was a little disappointed.

Tucker, who was still disappointed, instantly showed the brightest smile on his face.

Yes, behind us is Yes!

Tucker actually ended up with a smile? !

Yes? !

**Vicci's eyes were full of surprise.

"Yes, are you going to defend Nowitzki personally?!"

Seeing Yes on TV standing next to Nowitzki instead of Tucker, **Vicz stood up from his seat in shock again!

The SuperSonics fans on the sidelines, the national audience in front of the TV, and the Mavericks players on the court are all looking at Yeez in disbelief.

"Yes once again took on the most difficult task on the court!"

"No matter whether Yes can complete this impossible task instead of Tucker, he is still the greatest leader!"

Take the most difficult tasks on yourself? !

LeBron James clenched his fists tightly.

Me as a teammate?

Or are my teammates doing it for me? !

Confused!

Confused!

Still confused!

"Yes!"

Nowitzki looked at the little man next to him. He really didn't expect that one day he would be defended by a defender!

A defender who is only 1.95 meters tall!

Nowitzki reluctantly suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.

Is this God's arrangement? !

Nellie abandoned him for Yes.

Now he, a power forward, is directly competing with Yes, a defender!

God's arrangement?

God's mercy?

None of it matters!

The important thing is, I want to win this game!

Since I can defeat Tucker, I can defeat you too!

"Yes, let's show off!"

After receiving Terry's sideline serve, Nowitzki leaned towards Yes behind him!

Seeing this scene, the hearts of the SuperSonics fans on the sidelines were completely gripped.

Barkley in the commentary box is now a little awkward when speaking.

Yes, defending Nowitzki, are you kidding me? !

Yes will only foul more easily than Tucker!

Due to experience issues in Tucker's defense, it is indeed easy to commit fouls when the defense is small and the defense is large.

That's because Tucker is a rookie.

No matter how good Yes is, Yes is still a rookie like Tucker!

Yes didn't have much experience guarding big men!

"It's over!"

Looking at Nowitzki who was leaning towards him, Ye Si seemed to see two very familiar big black elbows in his eyes.

Ben Wallace…

Rasheed Wallace…

This time, what came towards me was not black or an elbow, but a simple back!

Bang!

The sound of falling to the ground that the whole world was expecting did not come!

Yes stopped? !

Not only did Yes stand still, his skills in defending Nowitzki's back just now were perfect!

As one of the most outstanding power forwards in history, Barkley knows exactly how perfect Yes's defensive action was!

Not to mention Nowitzki's pure exertion.

Even if that bastard Karl Malone elbowed him in the way, he could still stand and fell down immediately more than once!

A full blow, but Yes easily removed the force? !

His back is very poor and he can't hit Tucker on the inside. He can't even hit Yes on the outside? !

Nellie, is my weakness really that weak?

Am I really that far away from perfection?

Isn't there even a possibility of evasion? !

Nowitzki's mind relaxed at that moment.

He knew very well what the failure of his all-out attack meant.

Not only does he know, the Mavericks players on the court and the Mavericks boss on the sidelines, they all know it!

"Nice steal!"

"Nowitzki dropped the ball!"

Seeing No. 9 on the court who had intercepted Nowitzki's back hit and was already flying, the originally suffocatingly quiet SuperSonics fans once again exploded in the Key Arena!

"Garfield's Hurricane is on again!"

"Yes's signature stormy fast attack!"

"Hurricane Garfield departed from Seattle and returned to Seattle again!"

"This is a journey like a hurricane in Garfield!"

Garfield's hurricane-like journey!

Vicki, who had just been looking forward to whether the Mavericks could win one or two games, listened to Barkley's crazy voice.

Looking at the unstoppable running figure on the TV, he fell straight into his seat.

Mavericks, the situation is over!

Yes buried the calf with his own hands!

Yes personally buried this year's new MVP!

A swipe!

Three point hit!

competition is over!

105 to 90!

The Seattle SuperSonics beat the Mavericks again at home!

Looking at the splendid Key Arena on TV and the familiar No. 9 with his hands raised, **Vicci's eyes were unable to look elsewhere.

"Yes is too strong!"

"Yes is really too strong?!"

Are the SuperSonics really better than the Mavericks? !

The SuperSonics are indeed not as strong as the Mavericks, but Yes is really too strong!

This is Black Eight!

And it’s an unprecedented sweep in NBA history!

Maybe the whole world is looking down on the Mavericks players now. Only as a person involved in the battle between horses and cows, he knows how powerful the Mavericks are and how powerful Nowitzki is!

Such a powerful Mavericks, such a powerful Nowitzki was swept by Yes!

Even though he never had to worry about something like Heiba ​​happening to him.

At this time, looking at the cold eyes of that cold figure on the TV, **Vicci felt chills running down her spine!

Such an enemy is so terrifying!
