Therefore, Carlisle believes that as long as Dirk's physical fitness is properly arranged, he can definitely arm-wrestle with Li Ang at critical moments.

Carlisle then decided that in the next few games, in the first three quarters, Dirk would focus on the ball and try to give the ball to his teammates.

In the fourth quarter, Dirk was given unlimited fire power and the game was ended in one wave.

Carlisle's strategy was correct, because after returning to Dallas in Game 3, the Mavericks immediately turned the series score into 2-1 and took the lead again.

In Game 3 of the series, Nowitzki scored 37 points, only 1 point more than the previous game.

But of the 37 points, 17 came in the last quarter.

In the first three quarters of the game, Dirk played relatively restrained. In the first quarter, he only made two shots and scored 2 points.

But under the system with Nowitzki as the core, others in the Mavericks stepped up.

Howard's second attack was impressive, but Marion's cut gave Ray Allen a headache.

The three-pointers from Kidd, Peja and others also made the Clippers miserable.

In the first three quarters of the game, without Dirk playing well, the Mavericks clung to the score and trailed by only 5 points after three quarters.

Then, in the fourth quarter, Dirk, who was full of energy, began to show his strength.

Under tight defense, Nowitzki used all kinds of outrageous postures to shoot the ball. This time, he still didn't miss until the last moment, fighting with Li Ang to the end.

In the last 53 seconds of the game, the Mavericks only led by 2 points, but Leon's key three-pointer missed out due to interference from Pierce and Marion.

Whether to give shots to your teammates or yourself at critical moments is a worldwide problem.

As a superstar, there is nothing wrong with your choice.

Because again, sometimes a star's shooting percentage under defense may be higher than a role player's open shot.

There is actually no problem with Li Ang's choice. Although he is defended by two people, Li Ang still has room to shoot when he takes action.

Only this time, Li Ang failed to kill the game.

Since there was still time in the game, the Clippers did not resort to foul tactics, but wanted to defend this round.

Nowitzki held the ball directly on the left side of the three-point line to face Barnes, and Pierce immediately ran to the right, completely pulling Li Ang away.

Because the rest of the Mavericks performed very well in the first three quarters, the Clippers generals did not dare to attack easily, but were prepared to wait and see what would happen.

After Nowitzki waited for the lineup to be stretched, he started to break through with the ball, but as soon as he took a step, he was blocked by Barnes.

Dirk then prepared to hold the ball with his back, looking as if he was going to use his golden chicken independent step back.

Danny Green also saw the right opportunity and immediately attacked from a flank.

Little did they know that Nowitzki just made a half-turn fake move. When everyone thought he was going to fight alone, the German tank suddenly shifted into forward gear, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and immediately turned around to break through with two big steps.

Just entered the restricted area!

Barnes was caught off guard, so he couldn't catch up, and Danny Green's double team also missed.

Dirk entered the penalty area and went straight for a layup. Duncan immediately jumped over to block the shot, but his palm passed by the edge of the basketball and failed to block it!

After avoiding Duncan, Nowitzki gently flicked the ball with his fingers and pushed the ball up steadily.

After this goal, the Mavericks took a 4-point lead, and there were only 6 seconds left in the game!

At the last moment, Li Ang finally awakened to his killer nature and hit a three-pointer over Pierce's head.

Unfortunately, the Mavericks still led by 1 point, and the Clippers had to use foul tactics.

In 2006, when the Suns and Mavericks played in the Western Conference Finals, in a crucial game, Nowitzki missed a key free throw due to excessive pressure, completely ruining the good situation.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But now Dirk did not make the same mistake again. He made two free throws at the critical moment, opening the point difference to 3 points again!

A terrible fact is: Nowitzki has played three games in this series and has not missed a single free throw!

Ben said that this is nothing special. When I played against Li Ang, I didn't score even one free throw in the three games of the series.

Everyone’s free throw probability is 100%, at the same level!

At this time, because the Clippers had no timeout, Li Ang had to shoot a three-pointer from the backcourt.

The result is obvious, the basketball bounces out of the frame. Although Li Ang has a "sniper" badge, it can increase the accuracy of his long-range three-pointers.

But no matter how perverted the badge is, it still has to pass half time.

If you can make random shots from the backcourt, that's not really a perfect basketball.

Nowitzki scored 17 points in the fourth quarter and led his team to a narrow victory over the Clippers by 1 point!

Today, Carlisle's strategy worked quite well, and the Mavericks clearly demonstrated their tenacity.

A group of veterans staggered through the first three quarters, and then when they were about to take the dog off the leash, they slowly took out Dirk's powerful German-made pistol, pulled the trigger and gave the Clippers a fatal blow, achieving a counterattack.

He was submissive in the first three quarters, but hit hard in the fourth quarter.

Li Ang's performance was actually not bad, but this time, Nowitzki and Li Ang fought until the last round and the last free throw.

In the previous G2, the Mavericks fired all the bullets in their pistols as soon as they came up. It turned out that the Clippers actually still had a trace of residual health. But the bullets had been shot out, and the last trace of residual health left the Mavericks.

If you say it can't be beaten, it can't be beaten.

But today, the Mavericks came up and had a hand-to-hand fight with the Clippers. In the end, the Clippers were almost half drained of blood, and then they took out their pistols and used a powerful move to kill him with one blow.

Nowitzki's 17-point performance in a single quarter made him a hero in Dallas.

Li Ang is also impressed. Dirk's performance in the fourth quarter today was indeed very strong.

In fact, the great Dirk in history did not have a high shooting percentage at first glance. After six games in the finals that year, his shooting percentage was only 41%.

The reason why he is so amazing is because he is so strong in the crucial fourth quarter.

In the first three quarters of the 2011 Finals in original history, Nowitzki shot %. Other Mavericks players shot %.

But in the fourth quarter, Nowitzki shot % and the rest of the Mavericks teammates shot %.

It happened to be the other way around, Nowitzki just had to wait for the last moment to close the game.

Nowitzki averaged 10.3 points in the fourth quarter of the six games. In the final quarter of the six finals, Nowitzki scored a total of 62 points. That kind of key ball that pushed the Heat to despair, Heat fans probably don’t want to do it again.

recall.

Today, Nowitzki entered this critical moment and threw you into a state of despair.

The Mavericks led 2-1, and the Clippers fell behind again. In the last game, the Clippers managed to climb ashore to safety, but today they were kicked to the ground again and were teetering on the edge.

Compared to the Lakers, who already lead the Thunder 3-0 and are almost certain to advance, the Clippers are really quite dangerous.

However, in the post-match interview, Carlisle was not complacent.

"I know very well what kind of player Li Ang is. When playing against Li Ang, even if you lead by 10 points in the last minute, never feel that you are safe."

As one of the coaches who knows Leon best in the league, Carlisle will not take it lightly.

Facing someone like Li Ang, if you lead not only 2 to 1, but also 3 to 1, Carlisle will not be worried.

Carlisle did not miss the mark. In G4 of the series, the Clippers once again tenaciously pulled back a victory in Dallas!

It's just that in this game, the Clippers relied not on Li Ang's super power, but on the team's super power!

After Game 4 of the series, the Cubans were all stupid.

He never dreamed that his team would lose the game in such an outrageous way.

Thinking of this, Cuban looked up at the big screen again.

Ray Allen made 6 of 8 three-pointers, Danny Green shot 6 of 6 and a pair of 6s, and even the dancing king Barnes shot 5 of 6.

Junzi Lei scored 24 points, Green scored 20 points, and Barnes scored 19 points. Los Angeles’ true Big Three!

Leon and Duncan are just blue-collar players who hug each other.

This three-point shooting rate no longer belongs to the sports category, it should belong to the fantasy category!

It would be fine if only one person suddenly became accurate, but it happened that the three shooters made an appointment to get accurate together.

I met a few of them when we made an appointment to go to the bathroom together after class. This was the first time we met Cuban, who made an appointment to score a three-pointer together.

Is multiplayer sports so interesting?

In the last game, the Mavericks' role players helped Dirk survive the first three quarters, and then Dirk personally killed the game in the fourth quarter.

So today, the Clippers' role players were not willing to be outdone and simply helped Li Ang lead the fourth quarter.

Li Ang scored 23 points today, which was not as good as Ray Allen.

Ray Allen: It’s over, I’m a thigh!

All I can say is, who doesn’t want to eat dumplings?

You can't just have the opponent's role players explode every time.

The Clippers' three-point rain changed the total score of the series to 2 to 2. The Clippers and Mavericks once again returned to the same starting line.

In Game 5 of the series, at the Clippers' home court, Nowitzki failed to break out in the fourth quarter.

Because in today's fourth quarter, Lu Zi sent Li Ang to defend Dirk personally.

Li Ang can be said to be quite experienced in dealing with players like Dirk, who are fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged, blond and have big waves. After all, he has done it many times.
