201: Suspicion of Xiong Sheng
There was jubilation in the center of the U.S. route, and Dirk caused another foul by Randolph to the free throw line, which would undoubtedly allow the Mavericks to pull the score away even further.
Randolph complained to the referee, Link hadn't seen Randolph complain about the referee in a long time. But today, Randolph was really depressed because he had already made Nowitzki take too many free throws. And the most terrifying thing is that Nowitzki still hits 100% of his free throws today!
"Standing at the free throw line again, Dirk was unrelenting today! After a 4-0 sweep of the defending champions, he is aiming to make it out of the West, and the Dallas people are aiming for a championship and they won't be tied down by a dark horse! "Mike. Brin looked at Dirk's stats, and if those two free throws were scored again, it would be 40 points! And what about free throws? It will become 22 free throws! A new record in the NBA playoffs!
Nowitzki turned on the god-killing mode in the first game of the Western Conference finals, and he didn't know anything about the surname Randolph. Randolph was used to abusing Duncan in the Western Conference semifinals, and now he suddenly ran into hard stubble, and he was naturally not in a good mood.
"Dirk is on the line, still two free throws and two hits! With 22 free throws on the score, the NBA playoff record is still rising! ”
Nowitzki hit a free throw after Lionel hit the free throw. Hollins called the game off. At this point, the Grizzlies trailed the Mavericks by 15 points, and the game was set to end with just two minutes left. For the Grizzlies, their first Western Conference Finals seems to have seen the end.
Link couldn't help but feel a little scary when he looked at the big blond man who was admired by the fans in the stadium. Nowitzki this year, what a puzzle!
Hollins laid out some defensive tactics at the timeout, but it still didn't work. The Mavericks have gone crazy, and in addition to Dirk, Terry and others are also firing on fire today. In the final two minutes, the Grizzlies still couldn't recover.
In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Mavericks 108-121 on the road, and the Western Conference Finals were unfavorable!
"It's over, the terrible Dallas Mavericks, their attack power is unmatched in the West! Even the Grizzlies, who are known for their defense, can take them out of the way! Look how excited Dallas people are! This is the first time since 2006 that they have had a chance to challenge for the championship! At the end of the game, the commentators naturally used all the praise on the Mavericks.
Link stood on the court and looked up at the Mavericks players' stats for today. The championship deserves to be the championship, and the Mavericks have played really well this season.
Nowitzki was 12-of-15 from the field and shot 80 percent from the field. Unlike the injury-ridden Duncan, Dirk is very healthy this year, and his skills are fully mature, and there is basically no solution to how to play the offense.
In addition to his super high shooting percentage, Dirk also made 24 of 24 free throws, breaking the NBA playoff record! Without a three-point shot, Dirk exploded with 48 points! The "German tank" is on a rampage today, and it is still the one who is fully responsible for the hit.
It's no wonder people say that 20 years ago, when people thought of Dallas, the first thing that came to mind was probably a western cowboy riding a horse and carrying a pistol. And when it comes to Dallas 20 years later, the first thing that comes to mind is Dirk. Nowitzki.
When a team's star player can play so well, it's often difficult for their opponents to win the game.
On top of that, John Terry, who came off the bench today, also performed well. Mavericks coach Rick. Carlisle is a smart guy and a true master tactician. And even more than Popovich, he doesn't have to face the embarrassing situation of no one available.
Today, he deliberately brought Terry off the bench to avoid Link and Toney. Allen, the first to face Mayo.
As a result, Mayo brilliantly "got the job done" and got Terry out of the way. After the match, Terry felt hot even against Link and Toney. Allen, too, can still maintain a shooting percentage.
"Jets" scored 24 points on 8-of-16 shooting and 4-of-8 three-pointers today, which was undoubtedly another stab in the heart of the Grizzlies.
In addition, the Mavericks backup point guard Jose. Barria played well today as well. After only 16 minutes of play, he swept away 21 points, which was terrifyingly efficient.
The Mavericks' terrifying firepower completely blinded the Grizzlies, and so far this season, Link has never encountered such a perverted offense.
On the Grizzly Bears' side, the firepower is obviously much poorer. Randolph had 22 points and 11 rebounds, but shot less than 50 percent from the field. Link scored 18 points, Marion's defense was comparable to Richard's. Jefferson is much more reliable. Moreover, the Mavericks still have the "boxing champion" inside the guard, and it is not easy for Link to score under the basket.
Conley scored 13 points, and the old Kidd at this time was quite vicious, and Conley couldn't ask for any good fruit to eat in front of him. Other than that, the Grizzlies didn't score in double figures.
Gasol Jr. scored eight points in the game, and he was guarded by Chandler to suspect Xiongsheng. The Mayo boss played the Thunder in the playoffs this year and played better in the starter, and the rest of the time he basically paddled the whole way. He only scored 7 points in the whole game, not to mention, and letting Terry play in form made the Grizzlies even worse.
Compared to the Mavericks' gorgeousness, the Grizzlies' stats today are really a bit miserable.
After reading the data, Link sighed and walked into the locker room silently.
The Dallas fans cheered as they packed up the toughest Grizzlies in the West. Dirk was also ecstatic in front of the camera, Randolph played so well in the first two rounds, he thought that the duel with Randolph would be more difficult.
Unexpectedly, today he actually scored the second-highest 48 points in the playoffs in his career, and still had a terrifying shooting rate of 80%.
"I'm confident that we'll be able to reach the finals as soon as possible!" The result of this game made Dirk more confident in playing a 4-0 game against the Grizzlies.
He and all Dallasans agreed that as long as they didn't run into Texas rivals, the Spurs, they wouldn't be in any trouble.
Memphis Grizzlies? Maybe they're beasts in front of other teams. But in front of the Mavericks, they are only fifth in the West, nothing more.
The self-confidence of the people of Dallas has completely exploded.
※※※
Outside, Dallas fans and Mavericks players were ecstatic. And in the away team's locker room, where no one was paying attention, the Grizzlies players didn't say a word.
This is the worst defeat they have suffered this season, all the way to the Western Conference Finals as a dark horse, and the result is beaten like this by others, and everyone is naturally uncomfortable.
Link felt very unwilling, but his strength was really inferior to others. Dirk's kind of pervert can casually slash more than 40 points. And what about yourself? I think it's a lot to get a small 20 points.
In this place of the NBA, you really have to rely on strength to speak. Regardless of the final outcome, Link has decided to train to the death this summer.
"My bad, today I made it too easy for the Germans."
Just as everyone was silent, Randolph suddenly stood up and raised his right hand.
"I should have been tougher, but I didn't. The easy inside offense in the Western Conference semifinals made me let my guard down. It's that I didn't do a good job, and in the next game, I will definitely do my best, and we will definitely win back! Randolph clenched his fists, swept away his usual funny image, and became quite serious.
In the past, you wanted Randolph to admit that he was wrong in front of so many people, it was a fantasy. But Memphis, really transformed this "bastard" too thoroughly.
'I should take responsibility too, I made it too easy for John Terry's goal. Subsequently, Tony. Aaron stepped forward.
"I gave Barria 21 points in 16 minutes, and I damn it." The third is Conley.
"I know we messed up today, but the series has just begun. We still have a lot of room for improvement, and we can do better. So, don't be discouraged. The next game will be held in Dallas, which means you still have a chance to save face in front of the guys who are laughing at you! It's the Western Conference Finals, guys. Rick in the Western Conference Finals has no underdogs, including us! ”
In the end, Hollins played the round at the right time. One by one, the Grizzlies players were eager to try, as if they wanted to rush out and play Game 2 with the Mavericks now.
People thought that the Grizzlies were completely scared at this time, but this group of guys was even more excited.
The Memphis Grizzlies are notoriously unbeatable.
At the post-match press conference, reporters asked Link what he thought of the defeat. Link's answer made the reporters explode.
"This loss is going to make us even crazier, and the Dallas people are making things more difficult for themselves."
The reporters looked at each other, shouldn't grizzly bears be afraid!? Why are you still so hard!
Link looked at the talking reporters and got up to leave the press conference.
Next, it's time to cause some trouble for the Dallasians.
