The Mavericks became familiar with the King's dual-core routine, and the opponent suddenly turned into a single-core attack. James was playing soy sauce on the periphery, and there was a problem with the defense line.

Not only the defense line, Nowitzki also had problems. He was under too much pressure and his shooting percentage dropped.

He had five excellent games in this series, averaging 28 points per game, and made 10 of 27 shots in the game, and was an undercover agent.

Even if you are as strong as Nowitzki, who has entered the 504090 club in 20062007, you cannot guarantee that every game will be accurate.

Wang Jun showed his power in this game. He is also a member of the 504090 club. He has achieved another feat this season, with a shooting percentage of 519, three-pointers and 901 free throws.

The Kings led 36 to 20 in the first quarter.

Wang Jun made 8 of 10 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 21 points, and exploded.

Nowitzki made 1 of 8 shots, and added 2 free throws to score 4 points and 2 rebounds.

In the next quarter, Wang Jun did not rest and brought substitutes, and the other four were Ray Allen, McGrady, Peja and Yi Jianlian.

The Mavericks got to Barria, Stephenson, Crawford, Brewer, Perkins.

Wang Jun played a guest-game point guard, and this arrangement caught the Mavericks off guard. Ray Allen rested for five minutes in the first quarter and had no problem with his physical strength.

All five of the Kings could shoot three-pointers, and after Yi Jianlian opened a pick-and-roll, Perkins replaced Wang Jun with defense, and was repeatedly beaten.

Perkins' speed is not slow in his size, but he is a meat shield after all. He is excellent in defense of the inside and the outside.

After only two minutes of playing, Carlisle was forced to adjust, replaced Perkins and replaced Nowitzki.

This loss is going home, Nowitzki is ready to fight hard.

Another center, Heywood, who has an annual salary of nearly 10 million yuan, has hardly performed in this series and has played in single digits. Even if Cuban is a recognized big shot, he still feels "hard pain".

Not every center who can't do free throws can become a "shark". The Kings have never used the "shark chopping tactic" to deal with the Mavericks. As long as the outside line is opened, the Mavericks dare not let the slow center appear.

Now Cuban is very dissatisfied with the operation of the management, and Haywood has become another Danpier.

Nowitzki came on, and the Mavericks still suffered a loss on the defensive end, because Wang Jun was the main defense defender, and replaced Nowitzki with pick-and-roll, and did not score a goal to counterattack, and immediately misplaced.

After Baria was followed by Wang Jun, it was not so easy to break through.

Kenny Smith, a radio station commented: "Baria is not good today. He played well in three games, but the Mavericks cannot expect him to perform at a super level in every game. He is afraid of being close to the body and being afraid of confrontation. He can't protect a close ball, and the referee will not call a foul."

Barkley smiled and said, "This is the King's home court, and Crawford can't save the Mavericks. Although they are bald, Crawford has no dominance on the Mavericks' field."

In front of the TV at home, bald referee Joey Crawford immediately changed the channel after hearing the comments, regretting that he chose to watch the live broadcast.

Dominance, how can I be so bad?

David Stern was also watching the live broadcast of this station. He really wanted to tear Buckley's mouth apart. He never wanted to hear the word "black whistle".

James returned to the court after 6 minutes and continued to organize his work, moving in the middle and 60 degrees on the right, giving up space.

The Kings have always been leading, but James feels uncomfortable. He has never played like this when he was in the Cavaliers, and he is completely a role player.

If he knew the comments on the Internet would be even more depressed, and some fans felt that he would not play. If Peja, Ray Allen and Wang Jun cooperated, he would still be able to take the lead. Those two three-pointers were more accurate, and the opponent could not double-team, and Wang Jun could still win super data.

Some fans said that James was just a person who was here to divide Wang Jun's attack, which caused his data to drop.

Of course, James was not so unbearable. In the second half, Wang Jun attracted defensive passes from the outside, and James was the main attacker, and he got many opportunities to fight one-on-one with misplaced positions and scored consecutively.

The Triangle Attack Wang Jun, James, and Ray Allen were on one side, and the Mavericks could not double-team at all.

Ray Allen was reused in this series, and his data rose to 138 points per game. He was in excellent form in this game. He was assigned to him and he would basically make a shot if he had a phone call. He made 5 of 7 three-pointers in three quarters.

At the end of the third quarter, the Kings led 101 to 70, and home fans have begun to celebrate the victory in advance.

Nowitzki's shooting is not accurate in this game, and there are fewer free throws in the away game.

Wang Jun originally wanted to play the whole game, but he would go down and rest. If the opponent's momentum was very strong, he would get up.

After Wang Jun rested, the Mavericks sent Perkins to defend and had no effect on the offensive end. The Kings still mainly defended the outside three points, and if they couldn't block the inside, they would foul.

Miller, Yi Jianlian and Tai Gibson all became foul machines and took turns to play.

Perkins made 1 of 4 free throws, and the coach didn't know what to say. The Kings were more powerful than them, and they were fouled enough. They couldn't even grasp the simple opportunity. How to win?

Wang Jun did not play again, James was replaced after playing with a substitute for 6 minutes.

Nowitzki finally found his feelings in the final quarter. He scored 15 points in a single quarter and 25 points in the game, but unfortunately it was too late.

123 to 98, the Kings won 7 and eliminated the Mavericks 4 to 3 to advance to the Western Conference Finals. The winning was a bit thrilling, but it was a win.

Nowitzki's shooting percentage in the last game was not high, making 10 of 26 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 25 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals.

Many people on the Internet say that he is a "soft egg", completely ignoring that this "soft egg" swept the Lakers not long ago and beat Paul Gasol.

James played well in this game, with a quasi-triple double-double of 28 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists, catching up with his average regular season data.

Wang Jun played for 36 minutes, scoring 39 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.

He didn't get 40, but the online evaluation was higher, because he didn't seem to care about the data and did not deliberately brush up the data. He was very selfless when it was time to be selfless.

"He didn't even make much shot in the third quarter, otherwise it would be too easy to get 40."

"Save your energy until the finals and use it. The King should be able to relax when he plays the Thunder."

"Wang Jun seems to be just helping James find confidence. I think the Kings can beat the Mavericks without James. Maybe it won't take seven games, and there are two games where James is an undercover agent."

Although James has not read the news online, his data is not as good as Wang Jun, and he can generally predict the fans' tone.

He has now relaxed his mind and has given up the idea of ​​grabbing the finals. He will play whatever the coach arranges.

Nowitzki came out as soon as possible after taking a shower, and found his boss Cuban in the locker room, and smiled at him.

"Dike, I need to talk to you alone. Can you come out?" Curry asked in a low voice.

The two left the locker room, and Nowitzki sighed, "I'm sorry, Mark, I lost again."

"No, I want to apologize. I couldn't find you a better helper. The King has two superstars, you are the only one in the Mavericks, and there are still bad contracts in the team now." Cuban couldn't continue.

Next year, the Mavericks have a slim chance of winning the championship.

After a moment of silence, Cuban sighed: "You are a free man in summer, are you still willing to stay?"

Nowitzki is 33 years old and is a veteran. When Garnett was 31 years old, he went to the Celtics to form a group under the banner of a veteran. If he wants to leave, there will be a good reason.

Nowitzki replied without thinking: "Of course I am willing to stay, don't worry, I won't leave, as long as you don't drive me away."

"Thanks."

Cuban and Nowitzki hugged each other, and the two miserable men could only comfort each other and wait for the season to start again.

To be continued.
