Chapter 35 Nowitzki begins to doubt his life and wins the Mavericks
Nowitzki looked at the basketball that was slapped and flew out of the sideline, and he wanted to curse in his heart.
He plays the power forward position partly because of his good shooting touch, and partly because his confrontation ability is not qualified for a center.
But who would have thought that the Rockets would not follow the routine and directly bring Dayao over to defend him.
He couldn't hit him, but when he wanted to shoot, Yao was taller than him and his wingspan was longer than him.
How to fight this!
After the sideline ball was issued, the Mavericks attacked, and Nash passed the basketball directly to Michael Finley this time.
Under Battier's close defense, Michael Finley couldn't find any space to break through or shoot.
After killing nearly twenty seconds, he had no choice but to pass the basketball back to Nash.
Nash made a hasty three-point shot, and the basketball hit the basket and was protected by Dayao on the backboard.
It was the Rockets' turn to attack, still on Nash's side. Francis broke through with the ball, knocked Nash aside, and easily broke through to the basket and scored a layup.
Nash covered his chest, coughed twice, and his face turned the color of pig liver.
Turning his head, Nash pushed the ball into the frontcourt with difficulty and passed the basketball to Nowitzki again.
Nowitzki looked very ugly after receiving the basketball.
He doesn't want this ball!
It’s hard to beat Dayao!
Looking up at the situation on the court, Michael Finley was being closely guarded by Battier, and Nash obviously no longer had the energy to attack.
The remaining teammates have no offensive ability.
It seems that there is no other way but to try to attack.
Take a deep breath and prepare to hit Dayao from behind.
Once, twice, three times...
Still can't stand it!
In desperation, Nowitzki had no choice but to put the ball together with both hands, turn to the right with his left foot as the center, and make a posture for a layup from the right, then quickly turn to the left, facing the basket, with both hands
Raise it high and make a shooting posture.
Dayao looked at this familiar footsteps and movements, raised his eyebrows, and immediately followed it, making a gesture to block the shot.
When Nowitzki saw this, he suddenly felt happy.
He tricked it with his steps!
Being able to use inside steps to attack is also an ability that an inside player should have!
However, what he didn't notice was that Dayao didn't follow closely, but left a gap.
Nowitzki immediately stretched out his right foot and stepped forward, bypassing half of Yao's body, holding the ball with his left hand and hooking it towards the basket.
Feeling the feeling on his hands when the ball came out, Nowitzki couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
The ball is there!
However, the next second, that familiar, huge palm appeared in front of the basketball again.
"Bang!"
Another big hat!
The entire Toyota Center was excited again.
Two consecutive big blocks! Dayao almost completely blocked Nowitzki on the defensive end!
On the bench, the Rockets players couldn't help but start waving towels crazily.
At this time, Smith had already put down his headphones in excitement and was jumping around next to the commentary box with indescribable excitement on his face.
"Dayao! Dayao! I don't know what words to use to praise him! He is simply great! I dare to say that the Rockets selected Dayao with the No. 1 pick this year, and he will definitely be the future of the Rockets.
The best draft operation in ten years! Dayao, I love you to death!" Smith shouted while holding the microphone in his hand and waving his fist crazily.
The DJ at the scene felt that his adrenaline was about to explode tonight.
First Ginobili, then Dayao!
As a die-hard Rockets fan, DJ couldn't help but pick up the microphone and shout loudly: "Let us cheer his name together! The Rockets' No. 1 pick in 2002, the best center in the league in the next ten years!"
“Dayao!!!”
The fans at the scene shouted Dayao's name loudly.
Dayao suddenly felt a surging feeling in his heart. He made a fist with his right hand, hit his chest hard twice, and let out a roar.
Nowitzki stood there with confusion on his face.
He has obviously deceived Dayao! Why is he still blocked? Logically speaking, this kind of rookie center is the easiest to be swayed by footsteps!
And the mastermind behind all of this, which made Nowitzki begin to doubt his life, Han Ning, was standing on the sidelines with a smile on his face.
joke!
Now Dayao is a full-level Dayao! He also has the healthiest body!
In terms of inside footwork, Yao Yao at full level is better than Nowitzki at full level!
What's more, you, Nowitzki, haven't reached full level yet!
Want to use inside moves to beat Dayao?!
dream!
Seeing Nowitzki's expression of doubt about life, Han Ning suddenly felt a little guilty again.
Originally, he planned to let Dayao practice the Golden Rooster's independent skills and try to use them before Nowitzki learned them.
When a fully healthy Yao learns a skill like Golden Rooster Independence, the picture will be very beautiful!
But doing this makes Nowitzki look very pitiful.
Now I'll beat you up on the court, and then I'll take your future signature skills and make them my own...
It seems a little immoral.
But the next second, Han Ning's guilt disappeared.
You, Nowitzki, are not one of my players, so be pitiful!
I, Han, Ning, the king of pancakes and brainwashing master with a human face and an animal heart, will not feel sorry for my opponent!
In four minutes, the Rockets went straight to a 12-2 climax!
This directly opened the score gap to 10 points!
The Mavericks' two points came from free throws after Nash finally caused Ginobili's foul.
There is no more suspense in the game.
The head coach of the Mavericks also gave up and directly replaced the entire starting lineup.
Han Ning also changed the starting lineup to save face.
The last minute of the game ended with the substitute players of both teams paddling.
The final score was 114 to 105, and the Rockets won by 9 points.
What everyone expected before the game was that the Rockets' highest scorer in this game was not Yao, Francis or Battier.
It's Ginobili who serves as a substitute!
Scored 31 points and 6 assists in the entire game!
This performance directly slapped everyone who was not optimistic before the game in the face!
When it came time for the post-game news interview, Ginobili faced the camera but only said two sentences.
"Before I played this game, only the boss trusted me. Now, I have proven my strength to everyone, and at the same time, it has also proven that the boss's vision is correct!"
This sentence obviously refers to Han Ning.
This also suddenly reminded fans and media that after Han Ning came to the Rockets, no matter which player he coached, he could make that player perform well.
Players who left the Rockets, such as Posey and Mobley, were unable to match their performance with the Rockets.
Especially Mobley, after going to the Spurs, he still didn't have much possession of the ball, and his statistics were lower than when he was with the Rockets.
Chapter completed!
