In the sixth game of the previous series, the Suns' defense did a very good job and restricted the Spurs to a very embarrassing situation.

Therefore Tomjanovich is very confident in the team's defense.

Another reason why Tomjanovich decided to go all-out defense was that Nash probably wouldn't be able to return until the fourth game of the series.

Before that, Coach Long still had to replace Nash.

In the last round of the game, Rondo and Kidd were simply a team on the offensive end.

Although Rondo occasionally had wonderful performances on fake faxes, people still can't forget the embarrassment of his early celebration of a wide-open three-pointer and a slap in the face.

With Rondo, the Suns are missing a scoring point. Even if they have the scoring leader Li Ang, it would be an extremely unwise choice to attack the Mavericks.

McGrady and Nowitzki, two consecutive scoring champions, and 50 points in the playoffs.

But they are not easy to mess with.

In the past, O'Neill might still be able to make waves inside the Mavericks and provide support to Li Ang.

But it is estimated that it will be difficult for Ou to provide much help to Liang on the offensive end. After all, he has suffered a serious injury, and the Mavericks' current center is no longer Dampier, but Diop.

Dampier was injured during the regular season, so Diop was pushed.

I thought that without a general in the lineup, the Mavericks' interior defense would collapse.

How did you know that the ones left here are the elites!

In Diop's game, the Mavericks' defensive efficiency was even higher than in Dampier's game, allowing the team to win 13 consecutive games...

This is the legendary saying that winning is not terrible, and whoever is missing will be embarrassed. Having you is the icing on the cake, but not having you is no big deal.

If Mavericks is compared to a novel, then Dampier is the words. I thought that a novel is inseparable from words, but later I discovered... pictures are enough!

Diop's advantage is that he is taller, stronger and younger than Dampier. Moreover, he is always conscientious on the court and full of energy at all times.

Although this guy's offense is about zero, averaging less than 4 points per game, his scoring ability is almost as good as my scoring king Ben. But on the defensive end, he is definitely a solid backing behind Dirk.

I remember back then, when O'Neal Jr. beat Dampier like a father beating his son, he could blow up the Mavericks' inside line.

But now Xiao Ao faces Diop, it is expected to be a tough battle.

Therefore, at present, the Suns' only real threatening scoring point is Li Ang, and O'Brien can only count 0.5 at most.

The two of them combined are 1.5 years old.

Therefore, Tomjanovich must defend well. Only defense can break the Mavericks' league-leading offense.

The next day, game day.

Cuban came to the scene in person and expected to win a big victory at home.

The unabashed Cuban has often suffered in front of the Suns before, but this time he is really confident.

In fact, in Game 5 of the previous series between the Spurs and the Suns, when Li Ang scored 50 points, Cuban was still a little nervous.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Damn it, if we really encounter it, why would we give it a spanking?

As a result, the next day, Dirk also scored 50 points on his backhand: Don't panic, Cuba, you must have what others have!

Now, Cuban is also holding a 50-point playoff superstar in his hands, so he naturally won't feel panic.

Before the game started, when both sides were warming up, Dirk never took his eyes away from Li Ang.

Dirk secretly made up his mind to let Li Ang know what MVP is.

In Dirk's view, letting Li Ang win the MVP is purely because the league does not want to see another two-consecutive MVP born.

Alliance: No, we really don’t mean that. Can you please stop forcing yourself to make more drama?

McGrady also stared at Li Ang, he didn't want to live in that man's shadow for the rest of his life.

The two sides were about to take their positions. When Li Ang saw McGrady, he stretched out his hand to shake his hand.

After all, they were all old acquaintances, and Li Ang didn't take their last quarrel seriously.

But Li Ang didn't take it seriously, but McGrady always took it seriously.

McGrady glanced at Li Ang's outstretched hand, and then chose to ignore it!

Oh my god, Li Ang felt like the soles of his shoes were almost not worn through.

I was ignored when I said hello, I was ignored when I shook hands, I was ignored when I gave high fives to my teammates... It is so embarrassing to encounter something like this on the basketball court!

Li Ang could only mutter silently in his heart: "No one saw this scene, no one saw this scene..."

"Hey Brother Li, why are you hanging your hands in the air?" Rondo stood next to Li Ang and asked curiously.

Li Ang:......

Li Ang looked at Rondo speechlessly, you have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering opportunities, right?

It is impossible to escape everyone's eyes. With today's broadcast technology, you will be caught even if you sneak attack a bear on the basketball court.

Therefore, the scene where Li Ang shook hands and was ignored was naturally captured by the camera.

Li Ang is rarely so friendly to his opponents. If he didn't think Tracy McGrady is his good brother, Li Ang would never shake hands with his opponent before the game.

But damn, McGrady actually ignored Li Ang.

If you really want to toast, you will be punished with a drink instead of eating.

"It seems that the atmosphere of this game will be very strong. Tracy has made his attitude clear. He is not here to make friends offline. He is eager to fight and win!"

Li Ang was also a little annoyed. Damn it, I gave you face, but you didn’t give me face.

So after the game started, Li Ang defended McGrady very tightly.

Li Ang is very experienced in beating Tracy McGrady, increase the intensity, wear him down, and the game will be over when he himself is exhausted.

But this time, the game is not that simple.

While Leon was struggling with McGrady, Nowitzki started his own scoring performance.

Diaw's height is not an advantage in the fourth position, and he really suffers from defending Dirk.

Nowitzki hit Diaw with a mid-range shot as soon as he came up, and Diaw had no chance to resist.

Seeing this, O'Neal told Dio to leave Dirk alone.

Germans, it’s up to me!

Dior looked at Xiao Ao, and the coffee man instantly felt that Xiao Ao's surroundings seemed to be emitting golden light.

He always takes the lead in his extreme comeback. Xiao Ao is so handsome!

Dior is already imagining the story of Xiao Ao preventing Dirk from dying.

This is simply the greatest comeback in playoff history.

Then, Xiao Ao was also beaten.

Basketball games are not hot-blooded cartoons, and they are not something you can just make up your mind to leapfrog and defeat monsters.

It's not a big problem for O'Neal to defend Dirk alone at his peak. After all, O'Neal moves very fast.

But now O'Neill is defending Dirk, and his pace is really at a disadvantage.

Dirk is not a fool. When he saw that he had become O'Neill to defend him, he stopped shooting and broke through instead.

After holding the ball in front of the frame and making a fake shot to shake O'Neal's center of gravity, the German tank stepped on the accelerator and passed O'Neal as he turned around in a drainage ditch.

After easily breaking through Xiaoao, Dirk scored the ball with a one-handed smash, scoring 4 points in a row!

It's true that O'Neal Jr. contained Duncan in the last game, but that was mainly because Duncan was nearly half-disabled in the last game, and his knees were uncomfortable throughout the game.

But now Dirk, because he played extremely easily in the first two rounds, but Dirk has a full tank.

It is true that oil prices are very expensive now, but Cuban is not the kind of person who cares about oil prices.

No matter how much prices rise, you still have to add fuel and drinks.

O'Neal's brain just reacted. He knew he had to move sideways to block, but his body really couldn't keep up with Dirk.

After being scored by Dirk, Xiao Ao looked at Diaw awkwardly: "Otherwise, you'd better do it."

Although the current Dirk can't play from behind, his face-up skills are very comprehensive. Li Ang estimates that Dirk has read the book "Forward Tactics" at least five or eight times.

This technique is more than enough to beat Dior and Xiao Ao!

Since the defense couldn't stop him, O'Brien was ready to use offense to deal with the Mavericks.

But Diop is really tall and tough. Not to mention anything else, his arms are twice as thick as those of Xiao Ao.

Xiao Ao is not convinced either. It doesn't matter if a man's arms are thick, as long as his third leg is not as thick as mine.

If you can't win with hard force, use technology to fight!

Xiao O then turned his back again, trying to break through Diop and attack the basket.

In the last game, his first goal after coming back was played by Duncan like this.

But again, that's just a weak-blooded Duncan.

Diop is indeed not as fast as Xiao Ou, but after Xiao Ou took off, Diop still took advantage of his height and wingspan to take the ball down from behind.
