The Cleveland Cavaliers scored at the opening, but the Dallas Mavericks were not to be outdone. They also scored in a subsequent offense, with Dirk Nowitzki getting the ball at a low post and then playing singles on Valejo with a back-down jump shot.

Andre Varécho really has no way to do this back-body jump shot with a huge back-reclination. This is one of the reasons why Dirk Nowitzki is called a bug this season.

Because not only is his backward arc beyond reach, he also has a considerable hit rate...

The two sides tied 2:2 in the opening game, and the Cavaliers quickly sent the baseline ball. When the Clevelanders once again arrived at the Dallas Mavericks' half, Chauncey Billups still tirelessly made a pick-and-roll with Wu Dawei at the high position.

Deshen Stevens had already suffered a loss on Wu Dawei before, so this time his rush was not as strong as before. However, this time, he still couldn't keep up with Chauncey Billups who were heading towards the other side by pick-and-roll.

Wu Dawei's pick-and-roll allowed him to be half a position behind Billups, and Billups took advantage of the situation to rush towards the inside. Dirk Nowitzki hurried over to make up for the defense when he saw this. Billups reached out and passed the ball to Andre Valejo. Although the Brazilian didn't have many offensive methods, he was still very sure of facing Kong Lan after receiving the ball.

4:2, the Cavaliers still played very smoothly away. It seems that in the finals, they did not encounter much resistance. When they returned to the defensive end, the Mavericks did not send out the baseline ball quickly, which gave the Cavaliers a good time to return to defense.

After stabilizing his defensive posture, the Mavericks then attacked. Jason Kidd's stable ball control allowed Chauncey Billups, who was responsible for defending him, to have no chance. But at the same time, Billups' defense did not lose his position, because Kidd's attack power can even be ignored now.

Unless you give him a great opportunity to take a shot, then maybe Old Kidd will give you a few surprising three-pointers, and you can't expect him to score on the offensive end in other aspects.

Kidd took the ball to the three-point line, and then he passed the ball to Dirk Nowitzki, who was stuck in the low position, and the German king was full of confidence after getting the ball. Perhaps because he had already scored a goal in front of Valaijo, this time he still tried to hit the opponent with his back after trying to hit the Brazilian behind him.

Another accurate backward jump shot, Valejo stretched out his hand in vain, but in the end he could only watch the ball drill into the basket.

4:4 draw. Although the Cavaliers started well tonight, the Mavericks were also unwilling to be outdone. The offensive and defensive transitioned, and the Cavaliers still scored on the offensive end. Wu Dawei slipped through the baseline and ran out of the gap, then received a pass from Changxi. Billups then made a jump shot.

Although Sean Marion had tried his best to chase Wu Dawei, he encountered too much obstacle when he tried to cross the paint area.

The Cavaliers scored again, but their lead did not last long, because then, Dirk Nowitzki, who also helped the Mavericks score again on the offensive end!

Dirk Nowitzki scored 6 points in a row at the opening game, which made Dallas fans who came to the American Airlines Center feel excited tonight. The basketball atmosphere in the city has always been very good, especially they also have a team owner, Mark Cuban, who is willing to spend money and is full of passion.

Although the Cavaliers still scored again after the offense and defense transition, they still lost again when they returned to the defensive end. Dirk Nowitzki scored his eighth point in the game tonight and his eighth point in a row.

Wu Dawei once tried to help Valejo defend Dirk Nowitzki, but Marion's position and Dirk Nowitzki were both sides of the court, so even if Wu Dawei tried his best, he was one step too late.

Wu Dawei chased Wu in vain and tried to help defend, which made Mavericks boss Mark Cuban, who was sitting not far from the basket, extremely excited. While Wu Dawei took the ball out of the baseline and was about to send the ball to point guard Changxi Billups, Mark Cuban couldn't wait to mock Wu Dawei: "Hey, Chinese boy, does Dirk make you feel powerless!? Let me tell you, this is the real superstar!"

Wu Dawei was a little surprised and suddenly heard the sound from behind, so he subconsciously turned his head and saw Mark Cuban blushing and loudly yelling at him. His words were cheered by all the Dallas fans around him. When they found Wu Dawei turned his head, a smug smile appeared on the faces of every Dallas fan.

It's like saying that the people you used to defend against are not worth mentioning at all compared to Nowitzki. You can defend against those people, but you definitely can't defend against Dirk Nowitzki!

gauze!

Wu Dawei gave Mark Cuban a definition in his heart, but of course he didn't say it out. He sent the ball to Billups and quickly ran over the frontcourt.

After halftime, Billups passed the ball to Anthony Parker Parker who ran out of the open position, but the ball hit the basket. The Cleveland Cavaliers missed the first shot in this game, and the Dallas fans at the scene burst into cheers...

The moment Dirk Nowitzki bounced out, he stuck Vallejo behind him, and then he opened his arms to prepare to welcome the first rebound he grabbed tonight. However, Nowitzki was about to take off, but someone had already flew over him!

At this time, Wu Dawei had a better chance than Novizki to grab the ball. He had already flew into the air. While he grabbed the ball, Wu Dawei was not ready to give anyone else any chance. Then he waved his arms and the ball was smashed into the basket by Wu Dawei!

10:8, although the shooting percentage is no longer 100%, the Cleveland Cavaliers still maintain the lead in the score after this offense. Although they are in a difficult and dangerous away game, they seem to be feeling uncomfortable. At least so far, they have played so well on the court.

Back to the defensive end, although the Cavaliers are now leading, they are also facing the embarrassment of having an advantage but not being able to pull the score. Dirk Nowitzki's previous hot performance on the offensive end has also doubled the pressure on the Cavaliers on the defensive end!

This is also why the Mavericks' owner Mark Cuban is so proud. This time, when the Mavericks came to the Cavaliers' half again, Mark Cuban's mood became excited again.

Previously, Wu Dawei's rebate caused the morale in the stadium to plummet. At this time, Mark Cuban of course hoped that Dirk Nowitzki could regroup for the team. So he stood up from the chair and shouted: "Dick, give this group of villagers some colors!"

After halftime, Jason Kidd still turned the ball directly to the team's offensive core Dirk Nowitzki. No matter from any aspect, especially when Dirk Nowitzki was in such a good state at the opening stage of tonight's game. Kidd handed the ball to Nowitzki would be the best choice.

Nowitzki still stuck Brazilians Andre Valejo and Jason Kidd dribble at the low post to the three-point line, and then he passed the ball directly to Dirk Nowitzki.

The German King received the ball and was at a low post, which immediately attracted the attention of the Cleveland Cavaliers players on the court. Mark Cuban was still shouting off the court, "Come on, Dirk, beat them!", which made the Cavaliers players begin to consciously shrink the inside.

At this time, Dirk Nowitzki, who was holding the ball, would most likely not pass the ball. And when Nowitzki leaned against Valejo, who was behind him, received the ball, he was indeed not prepared to pass the ball.

The touch of making four consecutive shots has made Dirk Nowitzki's confidence in the offensive end tonight has increased!

He leaned on Valejo, then observed the situation around him. Then he started to play Valejo on his back. Although the Cavaliers players began to focus on Nowitzki, when Nowitzki was singles, other Mavericks players opened up enough singles for him.

Nowitzki leaned his back inward twice, then stepped on the edge of the paint area. At this time, Nowitzki stopped trying to arch inside, but suddenly pulled the ball and turned around toward the upward line!

Seeing this, Mark Cuban quickly raised his arms and looked at Mark Cuban, who had been playing for more than ten years, and of course he knew what would happen in the next second. Dirk Nowitzki's signature backward jump shot is also a trick that countless teams have been troubled by in the playoffs this season but can never solve!

Nowitzki lifted the ball over his head. His height of 210 cm and his extremely terrifying backward curve made Valejo in front of him helpless. Nowitzki jumped in the air, and there was no obstacle in front of him. It felt like countless times of practice shooting in the training hall.

Then, Nowitzki took action. He tweaked his wrist, but he felt a huge resistance!

He was unable to push the ball to the basket, and this thought immediately made Nowitzki's expression frightened, but the American Airlines center was already in an uproar! Just as Nowitzki finished his jump and turned around and jumped in the air, trying to throw the ball to the basket, Wu Dawei's big hand was already covering the ball above Nowitzki's head!

At this time, Wu Dawei and Andre Valejo, the Brazilian in front of Dirk Nowitzki, formed a double attack on Nowitzki, and Wu Dawei's big palm pressed tightly on the top of the basketball, making Dirk Nowitzki, who was in the air, unable to exert force at all!

He roared with dissatisfaction, but the ball was still covered by Wu Dawei!

The sudden situation shocked the fans on the sidelines. Mark Cuban raised his arms and cheered and stiffened in the air. The next second, it suddenly became unbelievable. However, when he saw that the Cavs' counterattack horn had been blown, he suddenly came to his senses and completely changed his expression.

"That's a foul!"

But at this time, the referee didn't have time to pay attention to the enthusiastic team owner of the Dallas Mavericks. The Cleveland Cavaliers' counterattack was formed very quickly, which has always been one of the offensive methods that the Cavaliers are proud of this season. Relying on Wu Dawei's ability to create chaos on the defensive end, the Cavaliers' counterattack score has also become a major offensive weapon for the Clevelanders!

12:8, the Cleveland Cavaliers played away and scored the score. Although it was only 4 points, it still left the Dallas Mavericks behind.

But Cuban would not be defeated so easily. When Nowitzki was blocked by Wu Dawei, Mark Cuban kept comforting himself in his heart, everyone had a chance to make a mistake...

The Dallas Mavericks attacked again. Perhaps Nowitzki was blocked before, so after Jason Kidd dribbled through half the game, he was not in a hurry to pass the ball to Nowitzki. Nowitzki no longer ran to the low post to get the block. Although his back-to-body singles at the low post were a big offensive weapon, Nowitzki was also very good at shooting from the outside.

Kidd and Nowitzki made a pick-and-roll cooperation at the high position. Kidd did not find any suitable opportunity. He saw Sean Marion not far away, so Kidd passed the basketball to him.

But the ball did not reach Marion's hands at all. The moment when Kidd passed the ball, Wu Dawei completed the steal at a much faster speed than Marion's serve!

At this time, Mark Cuban was still thinking about how his team should make a smooth attack and regain his disadvantages, and then he found that the storm on the court had changed suddenly!

Wu Dawei completed the steal!

Since it was a steal outside the three-point line, Mark Cuban didn't see clearly at all. He was shocked again. How did this kid do it!?

But more, he was still angry... He didn't expect that the super powerful team he built could handle in the difficult three rounds of the Western Conference's playoffs easily. How could he become so dull when he encountered a team that should have been unknown in the finals of the Cleveland Cavaliers!?

This is not what Mark Cuban hopes to see after investing nearly $100 million in the Dallas Mavericks this year! (To be continued.)
