For the self-boasting and arrogance of these old men, the Bulls are extremely unhappy.

Carlos Boozer, in particular, was still indignant in the locker room before the game: "The Dallas people are so hateful. I can't even say that I am not as good as a third of Nowitzki??? I'm a starting All-Star!! ”

His voice is loud.

However, Snoopy quickly walked over and told him, "You have to keep this anger in your heart and go on the pitch to prove yourself." ”

Actually, that's what he said to Korver, Rose, and Joakinoah.

He wants everyone to ignite their anger on the pitch so that they can win this tough battle.

Korver, Lore Deng and the hottest Joaquin Noah all endured, they waited for the game to come, and then used their actions to tell the 'old guys' during the game: Your time is over!!

But Carlos Boozer was particularly sensitive, and he was still resentful.

Probably, perhaps... He didn't think he could beat Nowitzki in the Circle.

Since the start of the playoffs, although he has been touting the little duke on TV every day, he is actually very anxious inside. Because he found that he really couldn't do it, and a lot of times he tried to play a very strong offensive performance, but... It's as if you've been in a greenhouse for too long, or you've officially slipped off your peak, and you've never been able to release your former self.

Some media outlets have begun to denounce him as the main person in charge of garbage contracts and Chicago's huge salary baggage. What's more, there is a feeling that the defensively better and tougher Tygibson should take his place. Anyway... His role is nothing more than shooting, and Tygibson can shoot too. His salary was only 13 times that of Boozer.

With a combination of internal and external factors, coupled with the malicious hype of the Dallas media, can Boozer not be agitated?

After persuading him for a while, Snoopy asked Stephen Marbury to come over for one-on-one counseling.

Marbury heard of his distress and analyzed the form for him. Finally, he told him the guerrilla strategy, hoping that Boozer would play the 16-character principle of 'the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy stops and disturbs, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase' on the court.

Boozer nodded repeatedly, not knowing if he had really listened.

……

The first Bull vs. Maverick Grand Final took place on the evening of International Children's Day.

The United Center Arena was crowded with 20,000 fans.

The ticket price of the finals has decreased compared to the Eastern Conference finals, after all, in terms of popularity and market influence, the veteran phalanx of Dallas is obviously inferior to the Miami Big Three.

Rick Blair, who had a stellar resume in Detroit and Indiana, made an unusual setup at the Finals.

When the Mavericks' starting lineup took to the court, all the TV commentators were exclaiming.

Because Rick Blair actually used an extremely conspicuous three-high lineup.

Tyson Chandler, Brandon Hywood, Nowitzki, Sean Marion and Jason Kidd started the game.

This combination of extreme conservatism is impressive: this is really old-school!

In contrast, Tom Thibodeau, who also started as a defender, was decent in his starting line-up: Joakina Noah, Carlos Boozer, Lore Deng, Snoodou, Derrick Rose.

With the referee's whistle.

Joakina Noah, who held his breath of strength, defeated his predecessor Chandler extremely strongly, and Snoopy grabbed the basketball in front of Marion and quickly pushed back with lightning speed.

Wearing the number 0 shirt, Marion followed closely, and although he is no longer the ace swing forward known for his physical fitness, his defensive influence is as good as ever.

He followed Snoopy's side closely, and the hacker who had followed Nash was still running.

But.

Snoopy is by no means the kind of player who relies purely on speed. He suddenly stopped at the three-point line, and when Marion stepped forward, the little duke suddenly turned around, and his body slid past him as if he had been smeared with oil.

This action was put aside a year ago, and the little duke would definitely not be able to do it. But now, he has enough success rate to justify his use.

After taking advantage of the situation to wipe out Marion's defense, Snoopy took the lead, his body like a fierce cannonball, and rushed into the penalty area.

Although both Haywood and Chandler are known for their defensive centres.

However, the little duke is unstoppable!

The momentum is like a rainbow.

This made the two defenders, who were worried about the little duke's pass, a beat slower. So, Snoopy split directly from the middle of the two!

Rumble!

Snoopy slams the basketball into the hoop.

The United Center Arena was boiling in an instant.

The little duke slashed hard to set off a wave of the home field, and the hoarse throat of the old commentator at the scene seemed to be singing a magnificent war song: Snoopy... Du!!！！

For Bulls fans, this name is like Michael Jordan!!

He led Chicago to the finals for two consecutive years, and this year it created an unprecedented Eastern Conference victory and advanced to the finals 12-0.

"If the Bulls end up winning the championship, Snoopy's ring is full of gold." TNT's Earl Johnson lamented.

However, Kenny on the side thinks that it will be very difficult for the Bulls to win the championship. "The future must be theirs. But right now, it's clear that the old Dallas guys aren't ready to take center stage. And, I think Nowitzki, Jason Kidd, Chandler, the likes of Nowitzki, Jason Kidd, Chandler who have been in the league for years and are still empty, have even more hunger for a championship! ”

Smith's judgment was accurate.

After Snoopy's flaming dunk, the Dallas, led by Kidd Sr., showed an immovable pace of offense. Despite being a three-high lineup, it was still a very accurate and patient run.

Eventually, the basketball was in Nowitzki's hands.

The German tank leaned down without hurry, Carlos Boozer had just raised his weight and was about to retreat, and Nowitzki had already leaned back.

Nooster's free-rooster-free-standing step-back shots have always kept the Dallas people entertained.

Swish!

The basketball falls steadily into the hoop.

Sitting behind the visitors' bench, Mark Cuban couldn't wait to get up and roar to cheer for the German tank. Although this greasy middle-aged man has a reputation for being harsh with other players, he is as warm as his first love for Nowitzki, and he always cares and loves him.

The Bulls' fans quickly greeted him intensively, but this guy's face did not change, obviously after a lot of such battles!

The game continues.

The Dallas Mavericks didn't give the Bulls another chance to go deep into the box, and their three-high was in the box. Even if an assault master like Derrick Rose gets deep into it, he can only passively pass the ball outward.

The Dallasians' strategy has been evident as they focus on the paint, followed by mid-range and beyond the three-point line.

Bang!

Lore Deng's jumper missed the basket.

Looking back, it was still Nowitzki who carried the offensive banner.

He used a shooting feint to point Boozer's defense, then quickly went deep into the paint zone and scored an easy layup under the cover of Haywood!

Coming back, the Bulls immediately picked up the tempo in an attempt to play a quick counterattack.

But at the beginning of the game, this group of 'old men' was full of physical strength and was able to keep up with all of them.

This resulted in a stalemate in Chicago's offense.

"The Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat are very different teams. The Miami Heat are strong on the front line. Dallas, on the other hand, is very evenly balanced, and their interior strength is even more crushing the Heat. So... It will be difficult for Snoopy to go deep into the box and play alone, as he will be facing a defensive center who is over seven feet tall!! ”

Kenny Smith analyzed on the commentary bench: "In terms of bench depth, the Dallas Mavericks are also full of talent. They have hoarded a large number of players in various positions!! ”

"If the Chicago Bulls represent the new generation, then the Mavericks bench is the representative of the Pan 96 Golden Generation!!"

"After defeating the Big Three of the Mesozoic, Snoopy is finally about to face the test of the golden generation."

Kenny Smith was right.

While he was talking, the Dallas Mavericks slowly took the lead in the form of a boiled frog in warm water.

Although the Bulls replaced Tygibson and Korver on the court through constant substitution strategies. But little has been done.

When the game goes into the rotation.

Dallas made a three-up, three-down strategy, with Haywood, Jason Kidd and Nowitzki coming off and Jason Terry, Peja and Stevenson.

The audacity of the substitution once again caused an uproar in the commentary seat.

This is equivalent to switching directly from the three highs to the fast running and bombing, and also replacing Nowitzki off the court to rest, is it so wild?

In contrast, the Bulls are still in the limelight.

Just replaced Derrick Rose with Stephen Marbury, plus Tygibson and Korver, who had already been replaced, and formed a rotation system with Lore Deng and Joaquin Noah.

Frankly speaking, this lineup is also dominated by quick defensive counterattacks.

The Bulls didn't take advantage of it, though.

Because Jason Terry erupted without warning.

The NBA's famous convulsive scorer hit a long-range three-pointer as soon as he came up, and then burst into the box and hit a high toss to score.

Like a man with dyslexia, he constantly waved his hands on the pitch, boosting the morale of his teammates.

Led by him, Peja also hit a three-pointer.

This made Snoopy's efforts to fight back come to naught. Even if he shot inside and outside and made free throws, he scored five points. and assisted Korver and Tygibson to score.

However, it still did not narrow the previous point difference.

When the whistle blows in the first quarter.

32：37。

The Dallas still leads by five points.

"I have to say, the Dallas people have the initiative." Even Charles Barkley has to admit that the Mavericks are more sophisticated.

The Bulls' two big advantages against Miami are gone. Deeper than the inside, the Mavericks have Chandler, Haywood, Nowitzki, and Marcinmi on the bench. Compared with the reserves of the forward line, Dallas is not far behind. On the back line, there are two Jasons, one fanatical and the other calm, compatible with fire and water.

"It's more complicated than you think!"

Barkley pursed his lips.

Deep down, he actually wanted to say that if the Bulls lose their home court, then the rest of the schedule will be very bad for them. Because the format of the finals is not 22111, but 232. In other words, the Mavericks will have three consecutive home games after playing two away games.

After the start of the second quarter.

Derrick Rose began to explode as if he was going to replicate what his Chicago predecessor, Dwyane Wade, did in '06. He fought his way into the paint area, and he faced the Mavericks' muscular jungle with no fear.

It was as if he was going to live up to what he said to Snoopy before he came on the court: You've always been the one who has been carrying Chicago forward with all your might. Now, it's my turn!!

Rose tied the score with his fearless style.

But since the humiliation of '06, the Dallas have toughened their style too much.

Therefore, he fell far more often than the Flash back then, and he received far fewer penalties than Wade.

However, the half-time whistle blew and the scores of the two teams returned to the same running line.

66：66。

Derrick Rose came off the pitch gritting his teeth and raising his hands to high-five the excited fans next to him. But Snoopy is worried about this, and every time Rose breaks into the penalty area and collides with the Dallas interior line with a high intensity, he can't help but be terrified!!

But Rose's willpower was so strong that he couldn't stop it at all.

And, he has already set the whole arena up with his performance. If it is blocked, it is very likely to have a more negative impact on the already extremely complex game situation.

"In the second half, you have to be a little more restrained."

Snoopy told Rose, "I'm not underestimating you, but the current Dallas Mavericks are really not the Dallas Mavericks of '06." ”

"And I don't want you to get hurt because of that."

The little duke said very seriously.

Rose nodded, he knew Snoopy's intentions.

But the staff on his team apparently didn't know it when Snoopy stepped into the locker room. He distinctly heard the Adidas staff behind him talking to Derrick Rose: "He just doesn't want you to be in the limelight, he doesn't want you to take the Finals MVP ......"

The tone of this sentence is extremely scathing.

Snoopy's footsteps faltered, but he eventually made his way into the locker room.

If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you still have to give Ross face.

In fact, Ross was also criticizing the staffer, angrily accusing him of saying such things now tantamount to splitting the bull.

For Rose, the Finals MVP is certainly an honor to be reckoned with, and it will bring extremely rich commercial impact.

However, winning is a prerequisite.

Unity is his pursuit.

He didn't want to be unhappy with Snoopy because of a trophy.

And, deep down, he thinks Snoopy is a better fit for the Finals MVP. Since the playoffs, he has been the anchor of the Bulls.

……

When the little duke returned to the locker room, he could feel the confusion on the faces of the players.

Everyone worked hard tonight, but the tempo was not as firmly in their hands as before.

Is Dallas too strong? Or was the previous opponent too weak??
