NBA: No. 1 Forward

Seeing this situation, Gallinari thought that Marion would choose to make a breakthrough, so he simply retracted within the three-point line, waiting for Marion to make a breakthrough.

There\'s nothing wrong with this defensive pick.

However, Marion hesitated for less than a second, and directly chose the outside three-pointer.

"Marion holds the ball from the three-point line, and the Mavericks\' offensive time is running out. Hey, did you shoot directly?"

Barkley felt a little surprised that Marion\'s three-pointer was very unstable.

In the last game, the Knicks deliberately targeted this point, and in the last game, Marion\'s shooting percentage was really horrible.

No one expected that Marion, who had the shadow of the previous game, would dare to make a shot from the outside.

Moreover, if he misses this time, after the Knicks grab the rebound, it must be another fast break counterattack.

However, the Knicks did not get the chance to play fast break this time.

Marion\'s three-pointers are inaccurate, but it doesn\'t mean that there are no three-pointers. When the shooting feel is good, he can really make it.

Unfortunately, today\'s Knicks once again encountered Marion\'s state.

"Marion\'s goal is very important. He continued the offensive firepower of the Mavericks. From this goal, it can be seen that the Mavericks have never given up on chasing the championship from top to bottom!"

"At this time, all the pressure is on the Knicks. So far, the Mavericks have scored all three offenses, and they still come from three different players. The Mavericks have a trend of full bloom."

"And the Knicks had no other performance except for a layup in the opening sickle!"

"Damn it, this guy actually made a shot!" Gallinari regretted a little, if only he had forced the ball just now.

But, then again, who would have thought that Marion, who was under tremendous pressure, could actually make a shot?

In fact, if Marion can bloom outside in the last game, the Knicks really may not be able to win the last game. Marion with three points and Marion without three points are two kinds of threats on the offensive end. .

In the following games, the overall state of the Mavericks was hot, and they were able to score even some difficult goals.

Nowitzki\'s double-teaming also began to interact with Chandler, especially in these two double-teams, Nowitzki was able to transfer the ball to Chandler before the double-team formed.

Although Chandler does not have the ability to attack independently, his ability to eat cakes at the basket is very good.

In particular, after Chandler started scoring from the inside, the Knicks had to give up double-teaming Nowitzki and switch to defending Nowitzki alone.

In this way, Nowitzki\'s singles ability is greatly enhanced when facing Lian Dao\'s single defense.

In the last game, Marion\'s poor outside shooting forced Nowitzki to face the Knicks\' tightest defense.

But today, in addition to three-point fire, Marion also hit consecutively in the middle distance.

Marion\'s mid-range shot is more reliable than his three-pointer. His mid-range shot has been stable at around 50% this season. Once he feels it, he will be very threatening.

However, Lian Dao\'s efficiency in the first quarter was not very high. Except for the first breakthrough layup, the other times he faced multiple double-teams, and his shooting percentage dropped seriously.

Even the most buggy fadeaways only hit about 45 percent.

At the end of the first quarter, Lian Dao barely scored 7 points.

…

"This should be the Sickle Finals, the worst quarter I\'ve ever played." Kenny Smith looked at Lian Dao\'s data and sighed.

This phenomenon is actually quite normal. It is not said that a star explodes every day. Even a super star cannot maintain his peak state in every game.

In the second quarter, Jason Terry, who played in rotation, also joined the offense.

It seems that the Mavericks seem to want to reproduce the third game of the finals, where all the explosive scenes broke out.

Lian Dao was still heavily defended in the second quarter. Chandler, who was even defended for a layup, directly nailed the block.

In this round of the series, Chandler was too threatening at the basket. With him at the basket, the Knicks hardly dared to hit the basket easily from the outside.

This kind of strong ability to protect the frame made Lian Dao couldn\'t help cursing secretly: It deserves that the Bobcats are the bottom of the belly every year.

Subsequently, Nowitzki pulled to the outside line again, with the help of Chandler\'s pick-and-roll cover, hit a three-pointer again.

Although Lian Dao pounced on him this time, Nowitzki, with his height advantage, was able to shoot a fadeaway jumper. Even Lian Dao couldn\'t do anything about it.

Lian Dao could no longer remember that this was the first time Nowitzki scored against the defense after he got rid of the double-team.

But it seems that as long as Nowitzki makes a shot, he will definitely be able to score.

On the other hand, Lian Dao, his condition today is really not very good, it seems that the super **** played too hard in the last game and exhausted all his CDs.

And it is precisely because the Knicks have not recovered their status for a long time, so the Knicks have been unable to reverse the point difference for a long time.

With the Mavericks showing their power as a whole, the point difference has not narrowed, but has been widened.

James Dolan looked very worried in the luxury box. He thought that today, the Knicks would be able to win the O\'Brien Cup at home.

But judging from the current situation, it is estimated that it is a bit hanging.

"Kidd made a breakthrough, and Chandler made an alley-oop dunk from the basket!"

"Sickle broke through for a layup. Chandler strongly interfered with the basket. Sickle was knocked down. The Knicks players signaled that it was a foul, but the referee didn\'t whistle."

"The Knicks\' offense today was a little anxious. They want to win the championship too much and want to reverse the score on the field, but the more anxious they are, the more likely they are to make mistakes!"

"Dirk Nowitzki played back singles, turned around and swayed, oh, Sickle actually jumped up, he was actually thrown by Dirk! After breaking through the basket, the Knicks basket was empty, and the layup was easy. ,nice shot!"

The game seemed to have completely turned into a one-sided situation. When the Mavericks decided to play a game without reservation, their explosive fighting power was really amazing.

When Nowitzki enters the super **** state, no one can stop him at all, not even Lian Dao.

Just like that, halftime ended and the Knicks trailed by 16 points.

Countless fans in Madison Square Garden dropped their arms in frustration. They didn\'t expect the Mavericks to be so powerful when they broke out in a desperate situation.

16 points behind at halftime, this is the biggest lag since they played in the finals!

"The Mavericks played crazy today. Under the leadership of Nowitzki, the Mavericks opened fire from both inside and outside the line, and the first half was unfavorable!"

"In the entire first half, Dirk Nowitzki scored 23 points, and his shooting percentage was as high as What a terrifying shooting percentage!"

"Charles, the shooting inside can also drive the team\'s offense!"

Kenny Smith has not forgotten the opening. His old partner is not optimistic about Nowitzki. If he seizes the opportunity at this time, Kenny Smith will definitely ridicule Barkley.

Barkley had nothing to say about this, and he was also stunned by Nowitzki\'s perfect shot in the first half.

…

The Knicks are now on the verge of danger, and some elated Knicks fans at the scene are now clenching their fists nervously, or praying with their hands folded.

They still have hope for the Knicks. With Sickle and God of War, Knicks fans still feel that they can come back.

The 16-point difference is not small, but as long as the Knicks can get back to the game state, this point difference is not very difficult for Lian Dao and the Knicks\' scoring ability.

Lian Dao only scored 13 points at the end of the half. Although the score in this half is already very good, it is still a big gap compared to his previous score of 20+ points.

His condition today is indeed not good. The key is that he has never had a chance to get back to his condition. He has been double-teamed frequently, and his teammates are not in a good condition.

All of them were too eager for the championship, and they were so eager that they were afraid of losing the game, so they had too many worries in their shots and lost the decisiveness of the past.

This is true of everyone, including Lian Dao.

During the intermission, Lian Dao slapped the bench very unwillingly.

He originally wanted to regain his touch on the court, but seeing the defense of the Mavericks, it is unlikely to give him a chance to find his touch.
