Chapter 469: peak condition
The Mavericks can\'t afford to lose this game. Although the Knicks can afford to lose, they don\'t want to lose.
Once the Mavericks win this game and return to the home court, the variables will be even greater.
With the power of reversal, returning to the home court, coupled with the blessing of the home court atmosphere, their momentum will definitely reach its peak.
The Knicks are a group of young people. Once they experience this disastrous defeat, their morale will be weakened in the next game, and their morale will be weakened in the away game.
In this case, it is really possible for the Mavericks to complete the reversal.
Although no team has ever reversed a 1:3 deficit in the finals in history, Lian Dao knows that there will be one in the future.
2016 Finals. That year\'s finals took place between the Warriors and the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers fought back after falling behind 1:3 and won three games in a row.
The strength of the Warriors that year was really against the sky. They won 24 consecutive victories at the beginning of the regular season, and the superb data of 73 wins and 9 losses throughout the regular season broke multiple league records in one fell swoop.
Even in his last life, Lian Dao felt that the Warriors won the championship was a certainty. The last one to achieve 72 wins was the Chicago Bulls. Once this record appeared at that time, it was considered the most difficult record to break.
However, the Warriors scored 73 wins in a blunt single season. The Splash Brothers and five small lineups slaughtered the entire league.
Therefore, almost everyone in the finals of that year was optimistic that the Warriors could crush the Cavaliers to win the championship, and the Warriors\' support rate for winning the championship once rose to 97%.
Before that, no team was able to reverse and win the championship after falling behind 3-1 in the finals.
And just when everyone thought that the Warriors would win the trophy again, the Cleveland Cavaliers started the Jedi counterattack journey.
LeBron James dominated the future series, and the team\'s core guard Kyrie Irving also showed extraordinary strength. In the end, the Cavaliers won three consecutive cities, reversed the Warriors with a big score of 4:3, and won the first championship in team history. champion.
With the Cavaliers down one to three, the whole world knows what that means.
The well-known sports website ESPN predicts that the chance of the Cavaliers coming back is almost 0 (3%). However, with the determination and persistence of the whole team, the Cavaliers started to fight back in Game 5.
In the last tie-break, ESPN used BPI (Basketball Strength Index) to predict that the Golden State Warriors still had a 73% chance of winning the championship.
But the result slapped everyone in the face. The Cavaliers finally won a battle that neither side could lose at the Warriors\' home court 4-3.
It is possible that the Cavaliers are a special case, and it is possible that the Mavericks cannot replace the Cavaliers, but the situation on the court is changing rapidly. Even if the data analysis is perfect, it cannot influence the game controlled by people themselves.
People create data analysis, so using data analysis to analyze people will have its own drawbacks.
Data can only be used as a reference, but not authority!
Therefore, there is nothing impossible in the game. Only by strangling all the chances of miracles before the opponents have miracles can the opponent\'s miracles be avoided.
And Lian Dao wanted to strangle all the possibility of the calf\'s miracle before the calf\'s miracle happened.
"Cheer up, we haven\'t lost yet!"
Lian Dao in the locker room suddenly roared, and everyone in the locker room focused their eyes on him instantly.
"Leave the offense in the second half to me. You should do a good job of defense and pick-and-roll, and fight to the death! Champion, today I am determined, even if God comes! Continue to fight in the second half, we will fight until the end, the Mavericks think To bring the game to Dallas, **** the dream!"
The downcast Knicks players raised their heads one after another.
As long as the team boss hasn\'t surrendered, there is still hope for everything!
…
The morale of the Mavericks\' locker room is high, and they finally feel proud today. In this round of the series, this game is undoubtedly the best game played by the Mavericks overall.
The Mavericks are now more determined to bring the game back to Dallas. As long as they can bring the game back to Dallas, the Mavericks will have a chance for miracles.
Nowitzki is taking his temperature with the help of medical staff.
"The body temperature is normal!" said the medical staff.
Nowitzki nodded. He felt that he was in excellent condition tonight, but his head was still a little heavy in the afternoon.
But as soon as he played at night and entered the supernatural state, he seemed to have completely recovered from the cold.
Even if you have a little fever, it seems to add a buff to your hot hand.
"Dirk, do you think we can win the championship this year?" Beside Nowitzki, Jason Terry once again raised his longing for the championship before the game was over.
"Of course, as long as we can win this game, we will definitely be able to win the next game. The Knicks, who have lost two games in a row, are bound to lose their morale. Even if we come to Madison again to play the tiebreaker, we will win There is still a lot of hope for a championship.”
"No one has done it before. It doesn\'t mean we can\'t do it. We have been full of doubts along the way, but we have been crushed by us in the end. It is the same this time. We want to make history!"
Nowitzki was full of fighting spirit at this time, and he inspired all his teammates.
What he said really worked. The Mavericks already had high morale. At this time, under the encouragement of Nowitzki, the morale was once again boosted.
…
The electronic buzzer sounds, the halftime break is over, and the side is changed to fight again!
D\'Antoni also adjusted the lineup at this time. Like the previous game, Lian Dao returned to the third position and put Millsap, who was excellent in defense, in the fourth position.
"The resumption of the third quarter began. Now the Knicks are 16 points behind. They must do something to change this situation."
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple can be used. 】
"The Knicks first changed their lineup and moved Sickle to the third position. This is an urgent need to use Sickle\'s scoring ability to tear apart the Mavericks\' defense."
"Indeed, at this time, we can only rely on the performance of superstars, but I don\'t know if Sickle can regain his form?"
Kenny Smith knew that the most intense battle might be coming soon, and he didn\'t think the Knicks had no ability to fight back.
It was only 16 points behind at halftime. Although this point difference is a bit large, it will not put the Knicks in a desperate situation.
The Mavericks have already set up a defensive posture. They want to continue the tight defense of the first half to the second half, and now the Mavericks\' morale is high, and their defensive enthusiasm is even more than that of the first half.
Lian Dao asked Holiday for the ball before halftime, and then quickly advanced.
Outside the three-point line, he was once again defended fiercely by Marion. Lian Dao didn\'t want to fight too much, so he used Millsap\'s pick-and-roll to pass directly, and went straight to the inside.
The speed did not decrease, and the mid-range area continued to accelerate. Nowitzki hurriedly retreated to defend Lian Dao\'s breakthrough.
Lian Dao stopped abruptly, then pulled himself up and took off.
Nowitzki couldn\'t change the inertia of his body backwards. It was too late to make up the defense at this time, but Chandler had been watching Lian Dao for a long time, so he blocked it at this time.
Lean back, dodge the block, shoot!
Chandler blocked the shot to the extreme this time, but there is still no way to stop Lian Dao\'s shot.
"Rebound!"
Chandler didn\'t believe that after he had achieved this level of defense, the opponent could still make a shot.
So after landing, he yelled and rushed to the basket.
"brush!"
As soon as he bent his knees and was about to jump, the sound of the basketball passing through the net made him stop his follow-up actions.
"Tyson\'s interference was extreme, but he still couldn\'t stop Sickle\'s shot. Did his touch come back?" Barkley said with some hope in his tone.
"Wait to be slaughtered by me, Dirk!" Lian Dao felt very good when he made a move just now, as expected, the products produced by the system must be high-quality goods.
Nowitzki\'s face was a little dignified. He knew that if the opponent hadn\'t regained his touch, he wouldn\'t be able to make such a clamor~www.mtlnovel.com~ The Mavericks attacked, and Kidd still handed the ball to Nowitzki, who felt hot. Rice did not hesitate to choose and Millsap to double-team Nowitzki.
Nowitzki didn\'t hit hard, and passed the ball to Marion, who made a three-pointer from the outside without hesitation.
"Bang!"
Three-point strike!
Marion clapped his hands unwillingly, he was a little annoyed that he lost his hands at this time.
Lian Dao breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, this guy\'s three-pointer is really unstable, and he made the right bet again.
Danny Green grabbed the rebound and immediately passed the ball to Lian Dao.
His ball holding is weak, if he does not transfer, he is likely to be intercepted by Terry.
