Chapter 213 (1/2)
”The Grizzlies have been fighting in adversity, and you have to give praise to such a team. They have been struggling with all kinds of difficulties all season, but they can always get out of the shadows and become winners. To be honest, we are ready to play a more difficult game with them Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said of his opponent.
”I'm not afraid of anything, I'm not even afraid to lose. What I'm afraid of is not trying to play, not playing competitively, not fighting, not going all out to play. As long as you put your best into the game, good things will happen. If you do your best, even if you lose, there is no regret. Because there has to be a team that will lose because we have done our best Zac Randolph, the ”jerk”, also said something thought-provoking. It has been found that this fat man is not just a troublemaker.
After the second game of the series, the world's attitude towards the Western Conference finals changed. People thought it would be a one-sided series, and the Mavericks who swept the defending champion would be unstoppable.
As a result, grizzlies with tough will and terrible determination, stuck to the end, and won the final victory of the game.
Now all the Mavericks know that if you don't take off the skin, you can't make it to the finals. Against the Memphis Grizzlies, they have to show the determination and will to play the Lakers!
The series continues, the Western Conference finals G3, and the game returns to Memphis. At the Grizzlies' home, Dallas felt for the first time what the Memphis determination was.
At the FedEx stadium, every fan is yelling as hard as he can. Once Dallas Mavericks players receive a basketball, they will be met by fierce boos. It puts pressure on them every time they get the ball.
And the Grizzlies are as tough as ever. Link cuts into the basket to catch the ball, and then suddenly points the ball, and Pau Gasol hits the middle shot.
Randolph steals Dirk again in the low post, assists link to counterattack the layup.
The Grizzlies started 9-2, and the last game of the Grizzlies was by no means sudden. They can guarantee that the Mavericks don't pass the test easily in every game.
In the second quarter, the Mavericks also strengthened. Dallas is also not a good soft persimmon, after all, a weak team can not reach the Western Conference finals.
Peja and Kidd hit three points in the second quarter, and Barea also had a long input. See team-mates in such a good state, Nowitzki simply when the ”shake hands manager”, the right to sell to his teammates.
Finally, the Mavericks entered the second half 54-50. Nowitzki scored only four points in the first half, but the Mavericks still took the lead with the excellent performance of others.
In the third quarter of the game, both sides were on the defensive intensity, resulting in a low percentage of hits. Dirk made one of seven shots, and the Grizzlies didn't score for three minutes. The Mavericks shot 26.8% in the third quarter and the Grizzlies only 33.3%. 70 to 70, both sides draw!
”Damn it, I can't get rid of them anyway!” During the break, Chandler went straight into a rage. Even when he played the Lakers, Chandler didn't feel so much trouble.
In the fourth quarter, the two teams are still fighting. Until the last two minutes, the score had not been opened.
In the last 34 seconds, Dirk's 3-minute death shot widened the difference to 5. After facing the Grizzlies' foul tactics, the Mavericks didn't make mistakes on the free throw line. They fought for the whole game, and the Mavericks finally won a city at the Grizzlies' home court by 93-87.
”How do you feel about winning the game? To tell you the truth, we don't feel it. We have to be ready for the next game
Dirk this time after winning, mood is far from the first time to win the Grizzlies. Because he knows very well that the Grizzlies have to win four games before they can really win.
Link had 19 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds today. After Marion calmed down, his defense was much better than the last game. Admittedly, it's much harder to score on hackers than on Richard Jefferson. The total score was 2 to 1, and the Mavericks took the lead temporarily.
The G4 continued at the Grizzlies' home court, and Dirk recovered quickly after experiencing a low point in the third game. 22 points in half-time, 40 points in the whole game, and the Mavericks were 15 points ahead of the Grizzlies when they were the most!
However, in the fourth quarter, the strong Grizzlies let the calf bleed again. Link and Randolph opened their bows to the right and left. They filled in the difference before the end of the regular time!
The two teams entered the overtime, the Mavericks missed three points at the critical moment, and the Grizzlies reversed the Mavericks by 15 points, and the total score was 2-2!
”Every time, we thought that after they were killed, they would stand up and fight again. They're a great team, they're the opponents that have caused us the biggest trouble in the playoffs this year, none of them After the game, Carlisle shook his head in front of reporters.
”We've won. We're going to keep fighting.” Link's answer was very simple. He was exhausted.
G5, tianwangshan battle, Dirk in the home unstoppable, the full court thundering 26 points. In the last 28 seconds of the game, Conley didn't touch the three-point line, which led to the Grizzlies' complete ruin of the victory.”Young players always pay a price in the playoffs. Even Kobe has a famous three no touch, let alone Mike Conley. The Mavericks are about to stay at home, and the series total score will be rewritten
Mike brin continued to lament that, except for the first field of the series, the Grizzlies had a chance to win every time they lost. But every time, it's just a little bit closer.
Although link hit the key two points later, the Grizzlies are still two points behind, and it's too late. 100:98, Mavericks won the tianwangshan battle at home, the total score of series became 3:2, the Mavericks got the match point!
”We haven't won yet, and I don't want to celebrate it now.” Said Nowitzki, looking at link.
On the heat side, the big three are 3-1 ahead of the bulls. No accident, they can make it to the finals tomorrow. The calf, on the other hand, has to keep fighting with Grizzlies.
Even if the Mavericks win the game in the end, their physical reserves are certainly not as good as the heat. It has to be said that meeting the Memphis grizzly bear is the calf's biggest misfortune.
In this way, the Western Conference finals into the sixth game, back to Memphis. Today, Dirk is determined to win. But he knows that the Grizzlies won't just give up. They will continue to be in hell.
Nowitzki looked up at the score, and the difference was still two. Once again, they were dragged into the mire and tumbled in confusion.
But to be honest, Nowitzki is used to it. If the Mavericks easily won the game today, he would be surprised.
”Dirk, how was your rest?” Carlisle went up to Nowitzki and leaned over to ask.
Nowitzki nodded softly. He knew it was time for him to go up and finish everything. At this time, the game time will be over 38 seconds, Dirk was deliberately replaced to rest two rounds, in order to have enough physical strength to kill the game at the critical moment.
