For the championship, German superstar Dirk Nowitzki, who is over 30 years old, obviously has a stronger desire and more intense desire than Wu Dawei, who has only entered the league for two years.

The finals reversed by the Heat in 2006 became the pain of Nowitzki's life. After his failure, he swore that he must stand on this stage again and win the championship trophy that he had missed!

This year, he once again stood on such a stage, and faced a team that lacked experience in the playoffs. This is even the first time their star has experienced in this year's playoffs.

Dirk Nowes basically thought that this finals trip would not be difficult, but reality gave him a fatal blow, and it seemed that he would knock down the Dallas Mavericks!

Before the fourth quarter started, Dirk Nowitzki was left behind and gave the Cleveland Cavaliers nine points away. What was annoyed was not only the score behind at this moment, but also the teammates were in a sluggish state.

He was unwilling to give up. In the first game of the finals, he lost to a team called a dark horse by the outside world. Of course, Nowitzki would not want to be the background behind the opponent's gorgeous feat that would be so dark. He didn't know that he had less than a few years of professional qualities in the future and how many opportunities would he have to stand on the stage of the finals again; so, this time he must cherish it.

And in Dirk Nowitzki's opinion, this opportunity is so good. He has a home advantage and the core of his opponent is still a thorough rookie. In terms of hard strength, the Cleveland Cavaliers are not very original. In the eyes of more people, the reason why the Cavaliers can stand out in the three rounds of the playoffs in the East District League is more due to Wu Dawei's amazing performance.

So, Nowitzki is extremely eager to try to win back what he lost in the 2006 finals in this year's finals!

The fourth quarter game has started at this time. Although both sides have sent a substitute lineup at this time, there is still fierce fighting on the court. The entire Cavaliers are in a better state than the Mavericks, and the same is true for the second team.

In less than two minutes in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers' substitute lineup widened the score difference to more than double digits. At this time, the score became 84:72. The 12-point gap was no longer a negligible number for the two teams in the fourth quarter.

The Mavericks' head coach Rick Carlisle also understands very well. Although the fourth quarter game has just started and the team's starting players have just had a few minutes of rest, if the decline on the court is not curbed now, even if the starting players have enough rest time in the future, they will be powerless to make the situation come true!

Therefore, Carlisle did not allow him to be allowed, so he waved his hand at Dirk Nowitzki on the player's table. At this time, he could only hope that the number one star under his command would save the game.

Moreover, Dirk Nowitzki's outstanding form in this game tonight is also the reason why Rick Carlisle hopes to put it on the German king.

Seeing that the Mavericks had sent Dirk Nowitzki on the court so early, the Cavaliers' head coach Byron Scott also understood that the Mavericks wanted to make a last-minute attempt.

This is in the finals, Byron Scott would naturally put away all his carelessness and face every second on the court carefully. Now the Cavaliers are leading the opponent by 12 points. Byron Scott knew that he had to pay more attention and could not let the winnings slip away from his fingers because of some tiny details.

Seeing this, he also waved to the player's seat and replaced Andre Valejo on the court. Although Valejo's defense against Dirk Nowitzki is not very effective, at least in the Cavaliers, he will be the best candidate to defend Nowitzki.

With fighting spirit, the movement speed can be compared with Dirk Nowitzki, and his defensive ability is also good, and he also has a good ability to protect rebounds.

After Nowitzki came on the court, the situation in the game gradually changed. As mentioned earlier, although Valejo is the best candidate for the Cavaliers to defend Nowitzki, his defense effect is not very good, otherwise Nowitzki would not have scored 22 points in three quarters.

When the two of them walked onto the court and started again, Nowitzki hit a precise three-pointer from outside the three-point line after receiving the ball for the first time!

84:75, even in one fell swoop, the score difference was narrowed from double digits to 9 points! The depressing atmosphere of the American Airlines Center also eased slightly after this three-pointer. Dallas fans finally got a chance to cheer, so they naturally screamed hysterically.

The team owner Mark Cuban was more like he was stabbed in an essay and roared red.

The Cavaliers' subsequent attack missed, which gave the Dallas a chance to cheer. After the ball was led by the Mavericks player through half the game, Dirk Nowitzki once again received the ball outside the three-point line.

Then, amid the cheers of the fans of the audience, the German king once again raised his hand outside the three-point line and completely ignored the Brazilian Andre Valejo who rushed forward to block the block.

At this moment, when the ball flew to the basket, although Valezzo tried his best, he still felt a sense of powerlessness all over his body.

Basketball drills into the basket, accurate and accurate!

84:78! Dirk Nowitzki played surprisingly smoothly after he came on the court. His two consecutive three-pointers instantly narrowed the previous 12-point gap to only 6 points left!

Such a sudden change in situation suddenly made the American Airlines Center cheer. If Dallas fans had a slight expectation for this game before, then at this moment, they really saw the expectation.

Dirk Nowitzki seems to be the savior of the Dallas Mavericks game again, which has inspired the excitement of fans all over the court; at the same time, it also scared Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott.

He hurriedly asked for a timeout for this, asking the Cavaliers players to resolutely attack when Dirk Nowitzki got the ball, and at the same time, at the end of the timeout, Wu Dawei was replaced on the court.

Although Wu Dawei is not a player who directly matches Dirk Nowitzki on the court. But as the best player in the team, Rick Carlisle relies on Nowitzki to worry about team issues on the offensive end, Byron Scott also hopes that Wu Dawei can bring miraculous effects to the Cavaliers on the defensive end.

After the one-minute timeout, the game started again. The Cleveland Cavaliers tried to stabilize their position, and after Ramon Sessions dribbled the ball through halftime, he passed the ball directly to Wu Dawei.

Of course, the Cavaliers have to do their best this time. Using scoring to recover some of the decline will make them much easier in the next defense.

After Wu Dawei got the ball at a high position, Sean Marion, who was replaced on the court after the timeout, stood in front of Wu Dawei. The Gibbon man's arm span wrapped Wu Dawei's way forward, so Wu Dawei did not use the ball to break hard but signaled Ramon Sessions to come to catch the ball.

At the same time, when Sessions ran past him, Wu Dawei also made a pick-and-roll for the former and then started to go down. Sessions then passed the ball back to Wu Dawei, and then Wu Dawei took the ball and began to force a breakthrough to the inside!

Although Marion followed Wu Dawei, he was older and his physical disadvantage caused him to be squeezed out by Wu Dawei's strong body when he rushed into the paint area!

At the same time, Wu Dawei, who rushed into the paint area, faced the Mavericks' substitute inside Haywood. Wu Dawei shot with a fake shot, and Heywood jumped up like a grasshopper...

Wu Dawei scored two points for the Cavaliers, and the score was rewritten to 86:78. Dallas fans were somewhat disappointed by this because they thought Dirk Nowitzki's two consecutive three-pointers would somehow stimulate the fighting spirit and enthusiasm of the Mavericks players, but Haywood once again disappointed them.

It also explains from the side why he was squeezed out of the starting center position by "boxing champion" Tyson Chandler this season.

Back on the defensive end, the Cavaliers will face another difficult challenge. Dirk Nowitzki previously hit two consecutive three-pointers, which made the Dallas fans of the American Airlines Center happy and doubled the pressure on the Cavaliers players.

When this time, the Mavericks once again handed the ball to Dirk Nowitzki who was standing outside the three-point line, all the Cavaliers were on guard. Andre Valejo, who was responsible for the match against Nowitzki, was focused on the German king in front of him.

However, Nowitzki does not seem to plan to continue shooting three-pointers this time. After all, the farther away from the basket, even as a sharpshooter like Nowitzki, the more missed it will become.

Nowitzki began to attack Valejo's defense line. Sean Marion, who was responsible for the defense of Wu Dawei, stood at the bottom line not far from Nowitzki, ready to respond at any time. At the same time, this also gave Wu Dawei closer to Nowitzki to help Valejo make up for defense and assist in defense.

Although Nowitzki is comprehensive in technology, it is still troublesome for a 210 cm tall man to break through the inside line. Comparing speed is not the strength of their kind. Because they often have to fight in the inside line, their tonnage will naturally inversely compare their speed to it.

Therefore, Nowitzki could only rely on his personal skills. Not only did he move around, but after two consecutive turns, Nowitzki found a small shooting space, but this was enough for Nowitzki!

He jumped up half-turned, and then turned around in the air. Then, Nowitzki's preparation for shooting had already made Dallas fans at the American Airlines Center cheer up, but at this time, a big hand suddenly appeared in front of Nowitzki!

It blocked the basket in front of him like a blocking the sky. When darkness came, Nowitzki was a little panicked. It was at this time that Wu Dawei waved his palm hard! While covering the ball, he also completely resolved Nowitzki's attack!

Because the ball covered by Wu Dawei was picked up by the Cavaliers players, and then it was the most well-known Cavaliers' defensive counterattack!

The excellent and responsive defensive counterattack has become the signature of the Cleveland Cavaliers this season, and the Cavaliers once again scored the goal.

The score became 88:78, and Wu Dawei's appearance instantly had an immediate effect, scoring and blocking at one time. No matter what the situation will happen in the future, at least so far, Wu Dawei has slightly curbed the decline of the Cavaliers.

"Depend on!"

The words Mark Cuban spit out of his mouth were his vent of emotions, and it also well proved how crucial Wu Dawei's previous performance was. Because that was when the Dallas Mavericks were about to take shape, Wu Dawei's performance was like a pot of cold water, ruthlessly extinguishing them.

Wu Dawei has done such a thing many times this season. But obviously, in the eyes of many people, this will become the most important one. Because now it is on the stage of the finals.

Whoever wins the first game first means who will be one step closer to the championship.

From the current perspective, the Cavaliers, the dark horse in the playoffs this season, seems to be in the lead in the O'Brien Cup battle.

Fortunately, after returning to the defensive end, Nowitzki made another mid-range shot, which once again narrowed the score to single digits. He seemed to have not been affected by the previous blocked by Wu Dawei, and was still as brave as before.

At this time, the head coaches of both sides began to send their core players back to the court one after another, because the fourth quarter was about to pass halfway, and the real decisive battle was about to come.

However, the protagonist will still be a contest between Wu Dawei and Dirk Nowitzki. In the next round when Nowitzki scored again, Wu Dawei was not willing to be outdone, and also completed a mid-range shot on the offensive end.

After the basketball got into the basket, the difference between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Dallas Mavericks was expanded to a tenth in one go!

Although Nowitzki really broke out in the fourth quarter as the outside world said, and has scored 8 points in a row so far, Wu Dawei's performance is obviously not inferior. Not only did he block Nowitzki's shooting on the defensive end, he also scored consecutive points on the offensive end, helping the team temporarily stabilize the situation on the court!
Chapter completed!
