Dirk Nowitzki has played for 40 minutes. For a veteran who is already 35 years old, playing for 40 minutes in a single game is not an easy task.

What's more, it's still in the last game of the regular season or when the playoffs are coming.

"Dike doesn't want to give up today. He tries to win the legendary 74-win Grizzlies!" Hubby Brown admires Deke's spirit very much. If an ordinary person encounters a team like the Grizzlies, he would have given up long ago.

74 wins, the new record of the NBA's most winning games in a single season was created by the Memphis Grizzlies in Phoenix two days ago.

Since Link led the team to defeat the Heat and won 72 wins, the Grizzlies have begun to make a big rest for the playoffs. But even so, the Grizzlies still defeated the already ruined Lakers and the Suns, who worked hard to fight for the playoffs, and won an incredible 74 wins!

People believe that this time, this will really become a record that cannot be broken.

In this regard, the Mavericks must thank the Grizzlies. It was precisely because the Grizzlies defeated the Suns the day before yesterday and won 74 wins that the Dallas have hope of returning to the playoffs.

There is only one game between them and the Suns. As long as the Mavericks can win the game today, they will surpass the Suns on the last day of the regular season and rank eighth in the West!

Therefore, even when facing the legendary Grizzlies with 74 wins, Dirk still did not compromise. He dragged the entire team to confront the most powerful forces in the league as if in 2011!

Nowitzki was already sweating profusely at this time, and his long hair was stuck to his forehead.

The Grizzlies did not fight with the Mavericks at all today, and the main players and substitutes played almost average. It is good to win 75, but Jogel didn't want to take risks. The Mavericks came for the playoffs, and they treated this game as the last game.

If the Grizzlies fight hard with them, they will only suffer losses.

But even if the Grizzlies did not fight with all their strength, the Mavericks still played very hard. In the tenth minute of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks were still 2 points behind the Grizzlies.

At this time, it was the Mavericks' offensive round. Link sat on the bench and watched silently as the elderly Mavericks dragged their heavy steps forward.

Monta Ellis quickly passed the half and quickly handed the ball to Old Carter who was on the wing.

The most talked about by "half-man and half-god" is undoubtedly his dunk, but in fact, Carter is not just a dunk player. His attainments outside the three-point line are no less than his dunk.

Carter's three-point shooting percentage this season was as high as 39.4%, and last season it reached 40.6%. He has always been an excellent three-pointer, but people have focused their attention on his dunks and ignored his equally excellent shooting.

If he was just a deducting player, he would not have been able to still be in the league at the age of 40.

Carter was preparing to shoot, and Jimmy Butler actively jumped up and blocked. However, in the air, Butler found that Carter did not take off at all, and this was just a fake shot!

Carter immediately dribbled through, butler immediately turned around and chased after landing.

But when the young Butler turned around, he did not see Carter.

It turned out that Carter's shooting and breakthrough were both fake! He pretended to break through and deceived Butler to chase back, but in fact, the moment Butler turned around, he retreated outside the three-point line again!

The elderly Carter made Jimmy Butler play on the spot!

In the end, Carter made another three-pointer when Butler was stunned. This time, Carter did not waste any chance and entered the net with three-pointer!

The Dallas Mavericks overtook by 1 point and they have entered the playoffs with one foot!

"In an incredible state, this guy may be able to play until he is 40!" Randolph next to Link shook his head and sighed on the bench.

Although the Grizzlies are now just fighting with a substitute, the Mavericks' performance is still amazing.

Link didn't answer Randolph because he knew that 40 was a totally minor problem for Carter...

In the next round, the young Delavidova just approached the three-point line and was intercepted by Monta Elis. Elis has always been not an excellent defensive player, but he averaged 1.7 steals per game. He started very quickly, and as long as he was not careful, he could easily concede the ball.

Ellis ran all over the game, but was blocked by Delavidova. If it weren't for being educated by Link, Delavidova really wanted to trip Alice with a flying tackle.

Ellis missed a layup under Delavidova's tough block, but Carter, who followed up, grabbed the offensive rebound.

The Grizzlies' defense immediately contracted, after all, the basket is the most dangerous place now.

"It's over." Seeing that all the teammates rushed towards Carter at the basket, Link secretly shouted that he was not good.

Sure enough, the next second, Carter passed the ball out of the crowd and found the "German Chariot" that was empty outside the three-point line.

Although Carter has few assists, this does not mean that he will not pass the ball. As for the same sentence, Carter is not only a deduction player.

When Dirk received the basketball, this goal was undoubtedly the key to determining the outcome of the game. But Nowitzki was not in his heart at this time, and he had experienced countless more deadly moments than this.

Outside the three-point line, Nowitzki shot with a shot less than 30 cm from the ground after jumping up. Although he didn't jump high, the ball that Nowitzki shot was still very high.

The basketball is like a bomb dropped from a bomber, accurately "destroying" the target!

The Nets rolled and the basketball landed. The Mavericks cheered. With just two attacks, they went from being behind by 2 points to leading by 4 points!

At this point, the initiative in the game was completely taken away by the Mavericks, and they also showed confidence, and repeatedly hit shots in the next few key rounds!

Moreover, the Grizzlies, who lack the main players, are obviously at a loss. Young players such as Delavidova, Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris do not have the ability to stand alone at critical moments.

Although they are young players, Butler and Harris are just one year later than Link...

In the end, under Nowitzki's steady attack, the Mavericks finally stood up to the end. 99 to 95, the Dallas Mavericks narrowly defeated the Grizzlies by 4 points. The Mavericks hugged each other wildly and ran all over the field.

They are not happy to beat the 74-win team, they are happy to be able to make it to the playoffs!

Link stood up and admired the Mavericks very much. But he was not depressed, because soon, to be precise, the Grizzlies would meet the Mavericks again in 4 days.

After the Dallas Mavericks won this game, they were able to enter the playoffs as eighth in the West. So, the Mavericks' first round of the playoffs was the Memphis Grizzlies!

In the playoffs, the Grizzlies will not be polite to the Mavericks like they are today.

Dirk walked up to hug Link happily. When he hugged Link a few years ago, the Mavericks had just defeated the Grizzlies and advanced to the finals. At that time, Dirk also said a lot of words to encourage Link, and he was worried that Link would be depressed.

But now only three years ago, when Nowitzki stood in front of the Grizzlies again, he has gone from a winner to a challenger. And Link is already working towards his second championship trophy.

Nowitzki really didn't expect Link to achieve this in the future.

"We will meet again soon, right?" Nowitzki smiled, his joy not yet faded.

"Soon, the same place, the same time. But next time, it will never be the same ending." Link looked relaxed, and faced the Mavericks who had eliminated him in the Western Conference Finals again.

After all, everything is no longer the same as before.

"Haha, you're still so confident. I know, you didn't give your all today, you're saving your strength for the playoffs. But believe me, we can burst into stronger power in the playoffs."

I don't know if Nowitzki's face is too kind, but when he said these words, Link really didn't feel any deterrent.

Link didn't take it seriously, shook hands with Nowitzki and turned around and left.

The eighth place in the West, how strong can it be?

But in fact, the Mavericks, the eighth in the West, scored 50 wins in a single season! The Miami Heat won 4 more games than the eighth in the West this season!

When Link, who had a relaxed look, walked to the door of the locker room, as if the power was suddenly cut off. He suddenly stopped and raised his head suddenly.

Randolph, who was walking behind Link, was not paying attention to talking to others, so he bumped into Link who suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? Why did you stop suddenly?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something." Link kept smiling and walked into the locker room.

But in my heart, Link could not laugh any longer.

Why are the Dallas Mavericks so strong even though they are obviously eighth in the West? Link has just been thinking about this issue. Then, he suddenly remembered some things about the 2014 playoffs in the original history.

In original history, the 2014 champion was the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs played the ultimate team basketball in the finals, with a terrifyingly high shooting percentage, so Leonard became a FMVP and started his path to superstars.

In the playoffs this year, it was not the Heat who brought the biggest trouble to the champion Spurs, but the Dallas Mavericks they met in the first round of the game!

Link still remembers that the Mavericks played in tiebreak with the champion Spurs at that time, and almost created the Black Eight Miracle!

If the Mavericks really beat the Spurs at that time, God knows whether Nowitzki would replicate his success in 2011!

Thinking of this, Link's mentality is no longer so relaxed. This strongest first-round opponent was hit by the Grizzlies!

Link doesn't want the team to fall into a tough battle in the first round, he doesn't want the Spurs' history to be repeated in the Grizzlies.
Chapter completed!
