Chapter 340 341. The Moment of Victory (Third)

With more than three minutes left before the end, Nowitzki once again hit a difficult fadeaway jumper.

Extending the lead on the field to 6 points, Liu Rui was also forced to call a timeout.

After all, even if this timeout is not called, within the last 3 minutes of the game, the previously unused timeouts will be automatically cleared to two, one long and one short.

"At the last moment of the game, the offensive end can give Joe Johnson more balls to handle, so that he can create more shooting opportunities for you while attracting defense."

"Danny, you will rest after a while, Okafor, you come to the 4th position, continue to mark Nowitzki on the court, White, you are ready to play."

"Remember, after playing, we must stick to the basket. At this time, we must not lose defensive rebounds. Dampier's rebounding ability is still relatively good."

"Every rebound and offensive possession will bring a big turning point to the game, so you must do everything possible to protect the rebound after you play."

"It's the same thing on the offensive end. It's up to White on the offensive rebound."

In the final decisive stage of the game, Liu Rui chose to replace Granger and let Okafor come to the position of power forward to match Nowitzki.

Although Gerald Wallace's personal defensive ability is excellent, he is obviously at a disadvantage when facing Nowitzki.

So Liu Rui finally chose to let Okafor play against Nowitzki.

As for the center position, the reason why Jefferson or David Lee was not chosen, but Buffalo White was used.

It is precisely because rebounds will become very important at this stage, and Jefferson and David Lee are relatively poor in terms of rebound protection inside, and the two are more inclined to play on the offensive end.

If you grab rebounds with Dampier on the inside, you will definitely not take advantage of it.

The Bobcats just lost the backcourt rebounds in a row just before the Mavericks opened the score in one fell swoop.

Coupled with the final stage of the game, the ball will definitely be more in the hands of Joe Johnson.

Whether it is Jefferson or David Lee, no matter who plays the most of these two, it is also a transitional player.

So it is better to let the big buffalo White use his own tonnage to fight Dampier at the basket to protect the rebound.

After all, the game has reached a critical moment, and most of the final shots are in the hands of the stars of both sides.

At this time, the ownership of rebounds will become very important.

After coming back from the timeout, Johnson frowned slightly when he saw the Bobcats' substitution.

After all, Buffalo White only played for a total of more than six minutes in this game. Even if he played the whole game next, he would only play for 9 minutes.

At this time, he was replaced on the field, and the little general didn't know what kind of medicine Liu Rui was selling.

Offensively, the Bobcats added their own off-ball pick-and-rolls, using this approach to create as many shots as possible against a pressing defense.

And Joe Johnson seemed to be born for the big scene. Facing Stackhouse's defense, he withstood the pressure and made consecutive shots in the away game.

Surprisingly, the score was tied more than 30 seconds before the end of the game:

98:98

flat!

The anxious little general hurriedly called a timeout off the court. After all, the next attack may directly determine the ownership of the game.

"When you get on the court, you must first pay attention not to foul, because the number of fouls has already been reached, and it will become very troublesome if the opponent makes free throws, so remember not to foul."

"Secondly, don't double-team Nowitzki, and let Okafor play a single defense. Even if Nowitzki scores at most two points, once we choose to double-team, we are likely to lose three points."

"Remember not to double-team or foul. Except for Nowitzki, you can choose to switch defenses as long as you pick and roll other points."

"Finally, it must be posted after the Mavericks serve to give them the greatest defensive pressure, because the time on the court is still early, if they choose to rush to make a shot, it will give them an extra chance to attack."

"So the defensive pressure is in place, so they have to stabilize and play the last attack, so that only our offensive round is left. Regardless of whether we advance or not, at least we will not fall into too much passiveness."

During the timeout, Liu Rui also repeatedly asked the players.

The current number of fouls of the two teams has been full, and as long as there is a foul, the clock will be stopped and free throws will be made.

For this kind of loss, neither the Mavericks nor the Bobcats dared to touch it easily.

As for another point, the Bobcats never double-teamed Nowitzki throughout the game, and Liu Rui did not intend to double-team him at the last moment.

Because once Nowitzki points the ball, he might not be able to make a shot or even make a two-point shot, but he will lose a three-pointer from the outside.

This is absolutely unbearable for Liu Rui.

After all, if it is really three points behind, then the Bobcats' options on the offensive end will become very narrow.

After returning from the timeout, the defensive pressure given by the Bobcats was enormous. All the players broke out with all their physical strength and carried out physical entanglement defense against the Mavericks players.

After all, the Bobcats now have Christie and Gerald Wallace on the court at the same time.

If it wasn't for relying on Joe Johnson on the offensive end, Liu Rui really wanted to replace Ariza with him.

Facing the Bobcats' defense, the Mavericks didn't have a good chance to make a move. Seeing that the time was running out, they finally got the ball to Nowitzki at the corner.

After Nowitzki held the ball, everyone obviously pulled away.

Give this vacancy to Nowitzki and Okafor.

Seeing this scene, the Bobcats didn't seem to have the intention of double-teaming, and everyone kept a close eye on the person who was facing them, in case someone who was not careful was opened the back door by the Mavericks.

After everyone pulled away, Nowitzki also put Okafor on his back as time dwindled.

But in terms of strength, Okafor is right.

But this is also a means for Nowitzki to facilitate the jumper.

He glanced around twice to make sure that no one would double-team him. Nowitzki also chose a golden rooster that turned to the right behind his back.

Seeing Nowitzki's backward shot, Okafor also jumped up in a hurry to interfere with it.

But while taking off, remembering what Liu Rui said during the timeout, the whole body did not dare to press on Nowitzki's body.

Otherwise, if the referee blows the last foul, it will be like crying without tears.
