Chapter 303: Close Cooperation

"The Mavericks are not alone, Nowitzki's finger is seriously injured!"

"The O'Brien Cup has been decided? Nowitzki's injury is a major blow to the Mavericks! ”

"Dirk: I'm going to stick with the injury."

"Miami Evening Post: The Heat can sweep the Mavericks 4-0 to win the championship!"

On June 2, before the start of the second matchup of the finals, the local media in Miami almost overwhelmingly believed that the triumvirate winning the championship was a matter of no suspense.

Originally, the Mavericks were not as strong as the Heat on paper, which was already reflected in the first game. Now, they also injured Nowitzki, the only superstar on the Mavericks' roster who can play. Although the German said that he would play with an injury, Dirk, who played with an injury, will definitely have a great reduction in strength.

Now Miami fans are sure to love Pat. Riley is the general manager, and he brings the Big Three to Miami, and the Big Three are about to bring a championship to the Heat. Everything fell into place and seemed to be going very well.

However, basketball is an uncontrollable game. No matter how well the reporters analyzed and how much data they came up with, they couldn't influence the outcome of the game. It's people who play basketball, not the cold strings of numbers.

Since only the Heat and Mavericks are left with games to play, one game every other day has become a hard indicator.

With less than a week in Miami, the Mavericks have to start their second game against the Heat.

Before today's game, Vignali also privately told Yiyang to relax and not be affected by the reporters' remarks. And Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks, did not hesitate to come to Miami in person and chartered a VIP box at the American Airlines Arena to cheer for his team.

To say Pat. Riley's guy really doesn't give Cuban any face, it stands to reason that when the Mavericks owner comes to Miami to watch the game, Riley should give a private room directly to the other party. But there is no "god operator", let alone a gift, Riley just didn't give Cuban a discount at all.

It can be seen that the struggle for the finals is not only between players. The management of the two teams was also in a state of mutual anger at this time.

In the visiting locker room before the start of the game, the Mavericks players appeared fairly calm. People wear socks and socks, and those who receive massages receive massages, methodical and not flustered.

Although they are already one game behind, through yesterday's training and research, the Mavericks are still confident of coming back to a city. The Heat rely on the individual ability of powerful stars to win, so today, the Mavericks will tell the world what a real team is!

They have been pushed to the brink and will have to win an away game in Miami no matter what. So today, the Mavericks have no choice but to win!

When they walked out of the players' tunnel, they were greeted by endless boos.

"You can't do it anymore, go home!"

"The championship is ours, ours!"

"Dirk, after five years of waiting, you are still our defeated man, hahahaha!"

The fans' insults and sarcasm were clearly transmitted to the ears of the Mavericks players. Nowitzki clenched his fists, and the guy was calm on the surface. But the heart has already become hot!

"Later, you won't be able to fucking laugh!" Nowitzki secretly scolded that only performance on the field is the best means to respond to all doubts.

Yiyang stood in the designated position, staring at Wade. Wade's indifferent expression was as if he didn't know each other. Maybe that's the attitude of superstars to the game. Don't look at Wade's relationship with Yiyang in private, but during the finals, Wade was really able to treat everyone as enemies, including Yiyang.

Yiyang looked at James again, and the guy seemed to be eager to try it out. But today, Carlisle arranged a "big gift" for him. I hope the strength of the team's defense can really work!

The restless fans skyrocketed the temperature throughout the arena, and the referee finally threw the much-anticipated basketball. Chandler breezed off from Joe. Anthony slapped the ball away on his head, and the first attack in the second game of the finals was mastered by Yiyang!

Chalmers still fiercely uses forced defense to contain Yiyang, and the former Chalmers is also an NCAA Final Four champion and MOP double. The two MOPs, both of whom are point guards, are actually in the spotlight.

Seeing that Chalmers stuck to himself so tightly, Yiyang really couldn't help but want to break through. But instead of doing that, he quickly turned the ball to Stevenson.

"Did he play early because of the defensive pressure that Chalmers gave him?" Barkley raised questions, and this also gave many people a false impression. They believe that the defensive pressure brought by Chalmers to Yiyang is very huge. The reason why Yiyang chose to pass the ball was completely out of desperation.

While Stevenson was holding the ball, the entire Mavericks were actually in action. It seems that the Mavericks are planning to sit on the ground and grind slowly with the Heat.

Sure enough, Nowitzki leaned on Bosh to get into position, and then reached for the ball. Stevenson carefully hoisted the ball over Wade's head, and the basketball fell into Nowitzki's hands.

People thought that the Mavericks would let Nowitzki, who injured his finger, singled himself. Nowitzki sits back hard and pushes to the basket. But after that, the German didn't turn over for a jumper or turn to break through, but opted for ...... Pass!

Nowitzki, who was holding the ball with his back, hit the ground with a pass, and Yiyang cut in like lightning, got the basketball steadily, and went straight to the basket!

The Mavericks' offense suddenly changed from slow to fast, and the Heat didn't have time to react. Chalmers was easily thrown away by Yiyang, but he was proud before, but now he was shocked by Yiyang. Bosh was pulled to a high position by Nowitzki at the moment, so now, only Joe can protect the basket in time. Anthony was alone.

Joe. At just 2.06 meters tall, Anthony is a veritable short centre-forward. But don't think this guy has a very good bounce and speed to make up for his lack of height. Actually, these are the advantages of Joe. Anthony didn't, and if it weren't for Ilgoskas being suspended due to injury, Joe. Anthony, an unremarkable player, simply can't sit in the Heat's starting five position.

In averaging 21 minutes per game this season, Joe. Anthony was only able to contribute 2 points and 3 rebounds. It can be seen that he may not even be a blue-collar worker.

Joe. Anthony made up for the basket, but he was not afraid of this guy's defense. He went straight up to the basket with a three-step layup in the air, although with Joe. Anthony made physical contact, but Yiyang did a good job of stabilizing his center of gravity and unhurriedly took a shot to send the ball to the rebound.

The basketball grabs the rebound and refracts into the net. Anthony's defense is useless, and in the face of Yiyang's impact, his frame protection ability is completely negligible!

"Also, he scored first for the Mavericks! We can see that the Mavericks players have been very well cohesive just now. At first, the pace was very slow, and it seemed that he wanted to carve a hard position. However, later, the offensive tempo suddenly accelerated, and the Heat were caught off guard. The Mavericks couldn't afford to lose, so today, they played very decisively from the start! Let's see how the Heat respond! ”

After Yiyang's goal, the Heat fans did not stop there. Because they believe that the Big Three will soon be able to get that goal back.

Chalmers had the ball past half-time before handing it over early. Entangled with Yiyang is not a wise choice. Even Westbrook was so hard to do anything by Yiyang, let alone Chalmers, who was not strong in scoring.

The person who received the pass from Chalmers was not James, but the real owner of the Heat - Dwayne. Wade.

Wade faced Stevenson, not suffering in terms of physical strength, but also having an advantage in speed. Without wasting much time, Wade made a few crotch changes in a row to confuse the other party, and then suddenly got up and stabbed Stevenson's left hand!

Although he is no longer young, the speed at which Wade's first step is started is still terrifying. Almost instantly, Wade passed Stevenson. Now Wade can either shoot straight to the basket or make a pull-up jump shot. The personal ability of the star has been vividly reflected at this time.

However, before Wade could think about how to attack, the sleepy-eyed Marion suddenly appeared in front of him!

A near-perfect timing of the defense exceeded Wade's expectations. However, if Marion comes to defend himself, James will definitely be empty. So Wade calmly scored the ball, and the ball flew into the hands of James, who was released outside the three-point line.

However, Marion won't let James shoot a three-pointer so easily. He raised his arms and immediately stepped back from Wade. At the same time, Stevenson also left Wade and went straight to James, and the Mavericks' defense was completely airtight!

Three-point shooting, this is one of the weaknesses of James, an all-around warrior. Now that Marion is so interfered with, James' three-point shot is directly knocked out of the frame.

Chandler immediately jammed the man behind him, and Yiyang plugged in from one side and easily picked up the defensive rebound.

"Oh!" There was an exclamation in the American Airlines arena, the first attack of the Big Three actually failed?

Barkley also exclaimed, but not because of the failure of the Big Three's attack. This fat man, who is always not serious, is amazed by the Mavericks' near-perfect teamwork!

From running and passing in the first attack, to the addition and containment in the defense just now. Everyone on the Mavericks seems to have a heart in their minds, and they always know where to go.

The offense hit again, and Chalmers was already a little nervous when he faced Yiyang this time. This guy seems to be more aggressive than the last game!

Yiyang ran outside the three-point line and knocked the ball to his left, as if he was planning to break to the left.

As soon as Chalmers changed his center of gravity, Yiyang suddenly changed hands behind his back and changed direction, and his sneakers kicked the ground and accelerated violently!

"Whoosh!" As if a bullet was flying against his scalp, Chalmers only felt a tingle in his scalp, and then Yiyang passed through his defense!

"Also, his first step is even faster than Wade just now! Without any cover, he easily broke through Chalmers' defense! ”

The Heat players didn't expect Chalmers to lose so quickly. So when Yiyang burst into the restricted area, most people weren't ready. Not every team can do a perfect job of making up and changing defenses like the Mavericks just now.

Yiyang went inside, and Bosh stretched out an arm to slice the ball. Yiyang held the ball with both hands and took a small jump, dodging Bosh's block, and at the same time tricking James, who came from the defense, into jumping.

Now, once again, the only person left to protect the basket is Joe. Anthony One! Yiyang jumped to the basket and jumped continuously to attack the frame, Joe. Anthony had no choice but to jump up.

Yiyang was in the air with his back to Joe. Anthony to protect the basketball. Joe. Anthony is separated by Yiyang, and it seems that he has no chance to block.

But again, it's not easy to get to the basket with an opposing center in such a tight space.

Just when people were wondering how Yiyang would score the ball, the No. 1 threw the basketball back in the air, and the basketball grazed Joe. Anthony's shoulder is passed out!

What happened later, naturally there is no need to say much. Thanks to Joe. Anthony was attracted to Yiyang, so after receiving the basketball, Chandler, who was unmarked, was able to jump directly on the spot and dunk with both hands, and he dunked so hard that he seemed to want to vent all the grievances of the last loss!

"The stone broke the shocking dunk, Chandler and the Mavericks played with momentum on the court! God, if I didn't know, I thought it was the Miami Heat who are down 1-0 right now!? The momentum of the two sides was completely reversed. ”

The Mavericks' continuous strong offense at the beginning of the game undoubtedly sounded the alarm for the Heat. Their opponents are not as weak as the media says they are, and the Dallas cowboys won't stop until the last minute!

"Chalmers!" At this time, Wade walked up to Chalmers, as if exchanging something.

Seeing this scene, Carlisle knew a rough idea.

Yiyang, Yiyang, it seems that the host of Miami, this time, is completely eyeing you!

"Later, I'll guard him!" That's all there is to Wade and Chalmers' conversation!
