The Mavericks are familiar with the king's dual-core routine, and the opponent suddenly becomes a single-core offense, James plays soy sauce on the perimeter, and the defense line has problems.Not only the defensive line, but Nowitzki also had problems.He was under too much pressure and his shooting percentage dropped.He had five excellent games in this series, averaging 28 points per game, and the Iron was an undercover agent on 10-of-27 shooting.Even if he is as strong as Nowitzki, 20062007 has entered the 504090 club, there is no guarantee that every game will be accurate.Wang Jun is also a member of the 504090 club, and has completed another feat this season, shooting 519 from the field, 425 from three-point range, and 901 from the free throw line.The Kings led 36-20 in the first quarter.Wang Jun shot 8 of 10, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 21 points and exploding.Nowitzki finished with four points and two rebounds on 1-of-8 shooting, plus two free throws.In the second quarter, Wang Jun did not rest and brought substitutes, and the other four were Ray Allen, Maddie, Peja, and Yi Jianlian.The Mavericks got Barria, Stephenson, Crawford, Brewer, Perkins.Wang Jun's cameo appearance at point guard caught the Mavericks off guard, and Ray Allen had a five-minute break in the first quarter and had no problem with his physical strength.The five Kings were able to shoot three-pointers, and Yi Jianlian was opened up to block and dismantle, and it became Perkins to change the defense of Wang Jun, and he was continuously beaten.Perkins' speed is not slow for his size, but after all, he is a meat shield, and he is excellent at defending the inside, but not at all at all.After only two minutes of play, Carlisle was forced to adjust, replacing Perkins with Nowitzki.To lose this game is to go home, and Nowitzki is ready to fight hard.Another center, Haywood, who has an annual salary of nearly 10 million, has barely played in this series, playing in the single digits.Even if the Kuban is recognized as a big money, it feels "flesh pain".Not every center who can't make free throws can become a "big shark".Against the Mavericks, the King has never used the "shark slashing tactic", as long as the outside line is open, the Mavericks dare not let the slow center play.Now Cuban is very dissatisfied with the operation of the management, and Haywood has turned into another Dampier.Nowitzki went up, but the Mavericks still suffered on the defensive end, because Wang Jun mainly defended Barria, switched to Novitzki after blocking and dismantling, and played a counterattack without scoring goals, and immediately misplaced.After Baria was followed by Wang Jun, it was not so easy to break through.TNT Radio Kenny Smith commented: "Barria is not good today, he has played three games well, but the Mavericks can't expect him to play at a super level every game, he is afraid of close-up, afraid of confrontation, he can't protect a close-up ball, and the referee won't blow fouls." ”Barkley smiled: "This is the home of the Kings, and Crawford can't save the Mavericks Although they are all bald, this Crawford on the Mavericks field has no dominance." ”In front of the TV at home, bald referee Joey Crawford immediately changed the channel after listening to the comments, regretting that he chose to watch TNT's live broadcast.Dominance, how the can I be so blackDavid Stern is also watching the live broadcast of this station, I really want to tear Barkley's mouth, he never wants to hear the word "black whistle" again.James returned to the pitch after six minutes and continued to do playmaking, moving in the middle and 60 degrees to the right to make room.The Kings have been leading, but James is not comfortable in his heart, he has never played like this when he was in the Cavaliers, and he is completely a role player.If he knew that the comments on the Internet would be even more depressing, and some fans felt that he would not play, and if Peja, Ray Allen and Wang Jun cooperated, he could still take the lead.Those two three-pointers are more accurate, the opponent can't wrap up, and Wang Jun can still win super data.Some fans said that James was the one who came to divide Wang Jun's power, and his data declined.Of course, James was not so unbearable, in the second half, Wang Jun attracted defensive passes on the periphery, James attacked, got a lot of misplaced heads-up opportunities, and scored again and again.The triangle offense Wang Jun, James, and Ray Allen are on one side, and the Mavericks players can't go to the trap at all.Ray Allen has been reused in this series, and his stats have rebounded to an average of 138 points per game, and he is in excellent shape this time, the ball is in his hands, and he basically shoots all the shots, and he is 5-of-7 from three-point range in the third quarter.With the Kings leading 101-70 at the end of the third quarter, the home fans were already celebrating the victory early.Nowitzki didn't shoot well and missed free throws on the road.Wang Jun wanted to play the whole game, but he was too far ahead or went down to rest, and if the opponent chased the score very strongly, he would go up again.The Mavericks sent Perkins after Wang Jun's rest, and he could only defend, but the offensive end did not play much role, and the Kings still focused on defending the outside three-pointers, and fouled if they couldn't block it inside.Miller, Yi Jianlian, and Ty Gibson all became foul machines and took turns playing.Perkins made 1 of 4 free throws, and the coach didn't know what to say.The king worked harder than them, and the fouls were fierce enough, and they couldn't grasp simple opportunities, how to win Wang Jun didn't play again, and James played 6 minutes off the bench and was replaced.Nowitzki finally found his groove in the final quarter, scoring 15 points in the quarter and 25 points in the game, but it was too late.123-98, the Kings won 7-7 and eliminated the Mavericks 4-3 to advance to the Western Conference Finals.It's a bit of a thrill to win, but it's a win after all.Nowitzki didn't shoot well from the field, shooting 10-of-26, 1-of-6 three-pointers, 4-of-4 free throws, and finishing with 25 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals.There are many people on the Internet who say that he is a "soft egg", completely ignoring that this "soft egg" swept the Lakers not long ago and blew up Pau Gasol.James played well this game, with a quasi-triple-double of 28 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, catching up with his regular season average.Wang Jun played 36 minutes and scored 39 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.He didn't get 40, but the online evaluation was higher, because he didn't seem to care about the data, and he didn't deliberately brush the data, and he was very selfless when he should be selfless."
He didn't shoot much in the third quarter, otherwise it would have been too easy to get 40.""
Save the energy for the finals, and the Kings should be able to relax when they play the Thunder.""
Wang Jun seems to be helping James find confidence, I think the Kings can beat the Mavericks without James, maybe it won't take seven games, and James is undercover in two games."
Although James hasn't watched the news on the Internet, the data is not as good as Wang Jun, and he can generally predict the tone of fans.He is now relaxed, giving up the idea of grabbing V in the finals, and he will play whatever the coach arranges.Nowitzki came out of the shower as quickly as he could, found his boss Cuban in the locker room, and smiled at him."
Dirk, I need to talk to you alone, can you come out for a while" Curry asked in a whisper.The two walked out of the locker room, and Nowitzki sighed, "I'm sorry, Mark, I lost again." ”"No, I'm going to apologize, I couldn't get you a better helper, the Kings have two superstars, the Mavericks only have you, and there are still rotten contracts on the team" Cuban couldn't go on.Next year, the Mavericks have little chance of winning the championship.After being silent for a while, Kuban sighed: "You are a free man in the summer, are you still willing to stay" Nowitzki is 33 years old and a veteran.Garnett went to the Celtics at the age of 31 under the banner of a veteran, and if he wanted to go, there was a good reason.Nowitzki replied without thinking about it: "Of course I am willing to stay, don't worry, I won't leave, as long as you don't drive me away." ”"Thank you."
Cuban and Nowitzki embraced, and the two hard-working men could only comfort each other and wait for the next season to start again.s:
