Chapter 262 A Breathtaking Offense and Defense! Teamwork First!
The Heat's management saw Wade playing so well, yet the team couldn't win a single game.
I feel the same way.
They immediately promised to strengthen the team for Wade this summer.
Find him a powerful helper.
Dwyane Wade, nicknamed "The Flash," is undoubtedly a core player for any championship contender, and building a team around him would be no problem.
It's not just his personal strength that's impressive.
Also, in 06, with the help of Shaquille O'Neal, who was not at his peak, he had already won the championship and the Finals MVP, proving his ability.
This is Wade.
What reason would the Heat's management have not to strengthen the team for him?
Simultaneously.
Wade could no longer sit idly by, and he ended his playoff run.
He was looking for helpers.
He seeks out players with strong abilities who can join his team and fight alongside him.
……
On the western side.
The showdown between the Mavericks and the Suns.
This series is the most intense matchup in the first round of the Western Conference.
Kidd + Nowitzki vs. Nash + Stoudemire.
The core players are evenly matched, and the role players on both teams are also quite good.
The Mavericks have a stronger defense.
The sun's firepower is more intense.
With teams of roughly equal strength, it's a clash of offense and defense, and it will be quite difficult to determine a winner.
The match was extremely close.
The first game went down to the wire with no points difference in the last minute!
Both teams have a chance to secure the victory.
crucial moment.
"Shh!"
Nowitzki started with his signature "one-legged fadeaway" jumper, hitting a difficult mid-range shot over Stoudemire's defense.
This attack was quite aggressive.
Switch to offense.
Nash orchestrated the attack, unleashing his full speed as he charged straight to the basket, then, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, spotted Stoudemire following closely behind.
Little Tyrant catches the ball and soars into the sky.
He ignored the defense and slammed home a dunk as the hero descended from the sky.
One team, one attack.
With the score still tied, and only 27.8 seconds left, the game became increasingly tense.
Kidd pushed it over.
He used his passing vision and Nowitzki's presence on the perimeter to drive and pass to "Jet" Terry in the right corner.
"Wow!"
Draw a bow and set an arrow.
He made a decisive three-pointer.
No.
But Nowitzki grabbed the crucial rebound and scored on the second-chance opportunity.
Make use of your excellent footwork.
He spun around and faked a shot, shaking off Stoudemire and Marion, before slamming the ball home.
Very robust.
Very critical.
In the midst of a transition to offense.
Nash pushed the ball over again, but was immediately met with Kidd's tight defense, who didn't give him any chance to pass.
Marion and Dio immediately stepped forward to cover for him, creating space for Nash to move freely.
Stoudemire and Nowitzki were entangled.
The passing opportunities were not good.
But he also created his own opportunity, calmly sinking a three-pointer from the outside.
They wanted to kill the game.
That shot?!
"Bang!"
It missed.
There are only 4.7 seconds left.
rebound?!
It was Nowitzki again, leaping fearlessly to grab rebounds from two of the Suns' interior players.
He forcefully secured the rebound.
crucial moment.
Nowitzki grabbed two rebounds and scored two baskets, sealing the game.
The calf had the last laugh.
But this game was extremely nerve-wracking; the Mavericks won, but the Suns also had a very good chance.
So... in Game 2, the Suns won a game on the Mavericks' home court, tying the series 1-1.
The two teams are too evenly matched.
Back in the Suns' home court, the Mavericks didn't feel they were at a significant disadvantage playing on the road.
Take it one step at a time.
Everyone pitched in.
The Mavericks won their first game at the Suns' home court, taking a 2-1 lead in the series.
G4.
The Suns couldn't let the Mavericks win consecutive games at their home court. They adjusted their strategy, maximized their home-court advantage, and secured the victory.
The score is tied at 2-2.
G5... The decisive battle, a crucial match point, is of paramount importance.
The two teams were once again locked in a close battle.
The game was in its final moments, and everyone was hoping that "D Country's tank" Nowitzki would once again turn the tide.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
His "one-legged stance," disrupted by Stoudemire's interference, resulted in a series of missed shots, ultimately leading to the downfall of the young calf.
but.
Everyone has off days.
It's impossible to make a shot 100% of the time.
So, it's understandable that Nowitzki faltered at the end tonight, as the series isn't over yet.
We just need to win the sixth game.
But... during Game 6, when the game once again reached the most intense final moments...
Nowitzki has diarrhea again.
When he needed to step up and score, he wasn't aggressive enough on offense and couldn't break free from Stoudemire's defense.
No way.
He had to take action.
He could only force a shot, using a one-legged fadeaway to force his way through Stoudemire's long arms.
It's really difficult.
Nowitzki's one-legged stance is unsolvable.
But he missed another crucial shot tonight, costing the Mavericks another victory.
This is more than just a defeat.
This effectively ended the Mavericks' playoff run this year.
next time.
That will happen a year from now.
Losing in this way is most heartbreaking for Mavericks fans.
Some hot-tempered fans even placed all the blame on Nowitzki.
Some say his playing style is too soft, he doesn't play tough enough, and he's a complete softie.
哪怕诺维斯基这轮系列赛，场均能够得到27.5分8.5篮板3.0助攻0.8抢断1.0盖帽的超好数据。
His field goal percentage was 55.1%, and his three-point percentage was an even higher 57.1%.
Although he only takes 1.2 shots per game and makes 0.7.
This allows for both versatility and high efficiency.
But there is no way.
He is the Mavericks' strongest core player, and he needs to step up and score in the most crucial moments for the team.
His performance in crucial moments was indeed a bit weak, and he couldn't make those incredible shots.
That means he simply cannot satisfy the fans.
The criticism and discussion grew louder, and after the series ended, Nowitzki faced considerable public pressure.
Fortunately.
His teammates all supported him, and his boss, Cuban, also comforted, supported, and believed in him!
This made Nowitzki feel a little better.
of course.
This year's Nowitzki has not yet evolved to his peak form, the kind of player who wins championships.
But it was precisely because of the fans' insults and rebukes that Nowitzki's belief in becoming even stronger was somewhat ignited.
He will train even harder during this offseason, and he will definitely be stronger and more consistent when he returns for the new season.
Then they will launch another attack on the championship.
……
The Lakers vs. Trail Blazers series.
The showdown between the "Black Mamba" and the "Yellow Mamba," a contest between Kobe and his successor.
The gap is obvious.
The Lakers' suffocating offense and defense left the Trail Blazers with no chance to fight back.
Every game collapsed.
They were completely dominated in every match.
The Lakers easily won four straight games, sweeping the Trail Blazers 4-0 to advance.
This is the strength of the defending champion.
This has resulted in the matchups for the regional semifinals, which has also sparked another highly discussed topic!
