Chapter 422 A Stronger Party

Chapter 422 The Stronger Party

Returning to the home court still gave the Mavericks a lot of confidence. Although they did not have the confidence to play another high-efficiency offense, as long as they won this game, they would be much easier.

And as long as they follow the rhythm of the first half, they have a chance to win this game.

However, things didn't go so smoothly. In the third quarter, the Mavericks obviously felt that the Nuggets' defense was harder. They coped fairly well, but the efficiency of the offensive end dropped significantly.

What makes them depressed is that the Nuggets are still so fierce on the offensive end.

The main source was Xiang Chu. Seeing that Chandler was directly hit by him, Carlisle began to complain to the referee.

But this ball is just a normal physical confrontation. The referee didn't call Chandler to block the defense, even if he took care of the home fans. You must know that the Mavericks have more free throws than the Nuggets.

The Mavericks' style of play is not easy to get free throws. Carlisle may just put a little pressure on the referee, or just make some excuses for the team's plight.

The strength of competitive sports comes first, but there are also some things that will affect the strength a little.

If they play similarly, the referee's scale will benefit one side.

The Nuggets do not intend to give the Mavericks any chance, and their response is to overtake the score.

The Mavericks' brief lead was over, if not counting halftime.

They can only switch to the bench lineup early to seek changes. To be honest, their bench players performed really well, surpassing the main lineup in some aspects.

But there is one situation that cannot be changed, that is, if the Mavericks score points, they can only rely on Nowitzki and Ellis.

Substitutes can alleviate some of their situations, but the most fundamental problem has not changed.

Chandler couldn't restrain Xiang Chu at all, which was unexpected by the Mavericks.

When the Mavericks regained Chandler, they had the idea of ​​letting him fight the Western Conference powerhouses inside.

Unexpectedly, Chandler looked fierce, and was completely crushed by Xiang Chu in physical confrontation.

Chandler's strength is indeed not bad, but his weight is not enough. Against a big center like Shang Xiangchu, and cheating with magical skills, he can only be a background board.

Relying on the strength in the third quarter, the Nuggets have begun to gradually take the initiative.

Mavericks didn't want to fail like this, so they sacrificed their last magic weapon.

Nowitzki didn't leave the field until the last two seconds of the third quarter, and then appeared on the field again at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Carlisle wanted Nowitzki to fight, and Nowitzki also planned to do the same.

In the past two days, he has adjusted his body to the best condition. No matter what, he will fight hard in G3.

Xiang Chu rested off the court, and Nowitzki began to fight inside, causing damage.

It's hard to imagine that Nowitzki at this age can play so tough. His speed is not fast, and he is completely in hand-to-hand combat when he goes inside.

Relying on Nowitzki's performance, the Mavericks scored a little bit back.

Moreover, the Mavericks quickly replaced Ellis, and they regarded the third game as the final battle.

On the Nuggets side, Xiang Chu took his time and waited until the normal rotation time before playing again.

At this time, the Mavericks have almost caught up with the score.

They were very concerned about Xiang Chu who was replaced, but Xiang Chu still caught the ball at the free throw line and completed the attack.

Completely clueless, this is how Maverick feels about Xiang Chu.

The Nuggets once again consolidated their lead, and the Mavericks have no other choice. Now they can only look at the performance of the players. Their current tactics are very simple. Ellis and Nowitzki pick and roll, as long as one of them gets a misplaced single Opportunity to act decisively.

They completely threw off the rest of the Mavericks on the offensive end, and the other three players were desperately defending.

But it was this unreasonable tactic that achieved results, and Ellis and Nowitzki broke out at the same time.

They scored almost every attack, and then frantically double-teamed Xiang Chu. It is impossible for the Nuggets to fight back every time.

Their offense and defense are all-or-nothing, and as long as they miss on the offensive end, they will collapse.

But this performance reminded fans of the year they won the championship, and Nowitzki seemed to be back at his peak.

"Nowitzki hit a three-pointer, and his shot point is difficult for the Nuggets to interfere."

"The referee blew the whistle, Nowitzki got three free throw opportunities, Nowitzki is still strong, and the voices of MVP in the stands are getting stronger and stronger."

"Elis succeeded in one-on-one again. He is an All-Star in this move."

"The game time is getting less and less, but the Mavericks still have a chance, can they seize it... Oh, Xiang Chu scored 2+1, Chandler has fouled for the fifth time, and Carlisle complained to the referee again. "

"At the critical moment, Xiang Chu never received any income, and it was another offensive rebound. If the Mavericks have protected the rebound, they should be in the lead by now."

"Time is running out, the ball is in the hands of Nowitzki... double-teamed, the Nuggets resorted to the last resort, Nowitzki passed the ball to Ellis, Ellis feinted and pulled up Just vote."

"Unfortunately, Ellis' shot missed a little bit, Xiang Chu took off the rebound, and the Mavericks are going to implement foul tactics."

"Xiang Chu's free throws were very steady, and Nowitzki's eyes showed some injuries. This game may be difficult for the Mavericks."

Without any miracle, after Ellis missed a three-pointer, the Nuggets won the match point.

The last moment did frighten them into a cold sweat, but they still stabilized.

Ellis and Nowitzki both scored 30+ in this game, but Xiang Chu scored 42 points and 25 rebounds.

Who is the master of the arena, this question is obvious.

The head coach of the Mavericks was very angry, "I think this series must be played within the rules. Xiang Chu put players down everywhere, and the referee must prevent such things from happening again."

George Karl was full of praise for Xiang Chu, "He is a beast, he is a beast! He grabbed almost every rebound, and he played so beautifully today, he is unstoppable."

Xiang Chu also scoffed at Carlisle's statement. He said that if the referee had been stricter, the two insiders of the Mavericks would have been sent off.

That is to say, he is strong in physical confrontation. If he is replaced, the Mavericks' brutal defense will definitely succeed.

The Huaguo media on the other side of the Pacific expressed their support for Xiang Chu. Their basketball experts said that this was just a typical old-school play, that is, strong physical contact and fierce confrontation, but the referee just didn't blow it.However, in all fairness, the referee did not intentionally favor the Nuggets, and there were calls that were not conducive to the Nuggets during the game. The reason why the Nuggets were able to lead 3-0 with a total score was also due to their own absolute strength, which is beyond doubt of.

Even the local media in Dallas were dissatisfied with Carlisle's behavior of dumping the pot. They believed that Carlisle changed the defense and made Xiang Chu play too easily, and satirized that the current Mavericks can only hope for the referee, or some accidental variables with a small probability .
