346 foul crisis

The Knicks opened the kickoff of the counterattack with three consecutive three-pointers. The score gap was instantly created by them and pulled to the six-point stage. This score soon made the Mavericks panic. They tried to get the momentum back quickly, but unfortunately, although they paid their efforts in the first quarter. Power, but now it really doesn't feel on them. After several counterattacks, the Knicks got a 7-point lead at the end of the first quarter.

Kuban seemed a little worried about this lead. Before the game, he had already told the media. In fact, he was not a shameless person. On the contrary, he still loved his face. If he was hit by the Knicks and Zhang Chen at that time, he would definitely be ashamed and angry. In order to prevent In that situation, Kuban quickly ordered the main lineup of the Mavericks to destroy the Knicks as soon as possible.

So after the beginning of the second quarter, the Mavericks' main lineup was only Novisky being replaced, and their center was also replaced. In this way, there was a Kidd who stayed on the court to support the overall situation, and the Mavericks also replaced their bench bandit Terry. In this era, Terry was not generous in the future, but he suddenly hit two three-pointers at the zero angle, which made the Knicks' situation more difficult. It is not easy to fight against the main lineup of the Mavericks with the Knicks' substitute lineup. The main lineup of the Mavericks can restrain the main lineup of the Knicks, not to mention their substitutes?

So the Mavericks gradually moved in a one-sided direction under the leadership of Kidd. After the fourth minute of the second quarter, they overtook the Knicks with a three-pointer, and then the Knicks fell into a crash. Within two minutes, the score difference was pulled to five points by the Mavericks.

D'Antoni quickly replaced Randolph and Duhun to let the two go to the field, but the Mavericks replaced Nowitzki back at this time. Randorff and others struggled to support the situation after playing, trying to maintain the situation with their own attack, but unfortunately they could not achieve a reversal of the score. And the Mavericks are also accumulating their momentum, possibly extinguishing all the attacks and defenses of the Knicks in one fell swoop.

Nowitzki's internal and external shooting is quite accurate, which makes the Knicks' inner and outer lines full of holes. Such a tall power forward will have a soft touch that only a short guard has, which makes everyone's defense quite difficult. The German chariot is expanding its results step by step. He has scored 20 points in the seventh minute of the second quarter, which is already quite considerable.

In the seventh minute of the second quarter, in addition to Nowitzki's 20 points, the score gap between the two sides also became 8 points. The Mavericks led by 8 points, and D'Antoni finally changed to the main lineup.

The main lineup came on the court, and the Knicks were neat and morale was boosted. Kidd of the Mavericks is now a little exhausted. The veteran often has such concerns on the court, but he can't get out now, because today's Knicks are like a group of hungry wolves. He can't imagine what the Knicks' offensive will be like if he comes down. In this case, they must maintain the lead on the court, and he has to wait until the third quarter is better.

After Zhang Chen came on the court, the ball was in his own hands. After he came to the half, he immediately gave the ball to David Lee. Unfortunately, the basketball still floated out after bumping around the basket and was grabbed by the Mavericks, and then Kidd led a counterattack. The basketball steadily advanced in Kidd's hands, and finally reached Nowitzki's hand. The guy coldly hit a three-pointer, making the score difference 11 points.

After seeing the Knicks' main force playing, the score gap was opened by three points, and the audience cheered for the Mavericks. It can be seen that the Mavericks' morale is very strong now.

"This damn German." When Zhang Chen heard that Randolph was cursing his opponent viciously, he smiled at the corners of his mouth. After saying something to Randolph, he came back to the half. Du Hong hit a throw this time and made the score gap back within nine points. Then the Mavericks' possession reached Nowitzki again.

"We must take some measures to punish him." Randolph thought so in his heart, and then he began to hold Nowitzki's body. Nowitzki leaned against him while controlling the ball, ready to suddenly turn around for a jump shot that Landorff could not defend. At this time, Randorf suddenly said, "Hey, German, it is said that you have been cheated by a damn woman for eight years?"

Not many people know about this kind of private thing, but it does exist. No one has ever thought that the tall and handsome German chariot suddenly fell in love with a woman from which country he didn't know at all. The woman was five years older than him and cheated him for nearly eight years. She cheated a lot of money from Nowitzki, and the woman cheated many people at the same time. She even had three children left, none of whom was Nowitzki's.

Hearing Randolph's vicious words, Nowitzki's face changed and he said, "It's none of your business."

"Of course, it's none of my business, because this matter has disgraced you. You don't even know which country she is."

"Nonsense, she is Italian."

"Then why did I hear that she was French?"

"She is Italian... a good woman." Nowitzki is still stubbornly arguing. You have to admit that some people have so much energy to make others sell by her and help her count money. However, at the moment when Nowitzki was in a trance by Randolph's words, a feeling of emptiness suddenly came to his hands. Then, he saw Zhang Chen steal the basketball in his hand like lightning, and now he can only see the big back of No. 6.

"Damn..." Nowitzki cursed hatefully in his heart, and Zhang Chen and Gallinari came to cooperate. Zhang Chen bypassed the defender under the super-speed support, and then gave the basketball to Gallinelli with a long pass, who successfully made a jump shot to the defender who was much shorter than him outside the three-point line. The basketball easily entered the net, and the score difference was swept to six points.

"Hey, man, you seem to have a little problem." At the moment when he passed by Nowitzki, Kidd said.

Nowitzki's face is still a little gloomy: "I'll take care of it."

Then, Nowitzki ran through the half. This time he took the initiative to ask for the ball. He needed to wash away the shame in front of Randolph with a beautiful attack. He began to drib the ball again, and he didn't expect that Randorff's rubbish began again: "It is said that that woman can still take drugs?"

"It's none of your business." Nowitzki had to repeat his words again and threatened, "If you talk about this again, I don't mind if you lie down and leave the basketball court today."

Landoff didn't care: "It is said that she not only took drugs, but also instructed her love husband to shoot you with a gun?"

This sentence was fictional and fictitious, but Nowitzki was even more angry when he heard it. He held the front of Randolph's jersey in one hand and threw the basketball on the floor fiercely. He clenched his fist and was about to hit Randolph's eyes. Randolph himself said that he used to be a boxer. Every time he said this, he only attracted the neat middle finger of the Knicks players, but it was not until today that everyone realized that it was really possible, because Randolph's right hand was fast and lightning, which quickly blocked Nowitzki's fist, and the referee's whistle. The sound also sounded just right, and they awarded Nowitzki a technical foul.

After the penalty, the Knicks were only 4 points behind. Zhang Chen and Randolph high-fiveed, and then Randolph said with a smile, "Hey, Chen, you bad guy, you can't imagine the ferocious-looking German who looks so bland... I'm sure you will fall in love with this expression."

Zhang Chen shrugged his shoulders: "I swear I won't fall in love with a man, and I won't fall in love with any of his expressions." He and Randolph have basically eliminated the original hostility in their long-term cooperation, and now they can often talk and laugh.

Nowitzki opened his resentful eyes, but he lost his original mood under the provocation of Randolph. The more he got angry, the more he couldn't hit the ball, so Nowitzki immediately fell into a dumb state.

Zhang Chen and others launched a counterattack, especially Randolph. He attracted the defense of the inside line. Nownovsky is defending him with all his strength, which made him make two fouls, making Nowitzki red and has entered a state of residual blood. The coach of the Mavericks was also a little worried about putting him on the field. I'm afraid that when Nowitzki will have a foul again, then the Mavericks will be finished.

In this situation, Nowitzki himself was a little afraid of being sent off for another foul. He was so disabled. Randolph finally raised his eyebrows and scored 6 points in two minutes, and the Knicks gradually pulled back the score gap in his attack.

With 25 seconds left in the game, the Mavericks missed a shot and finally stabilized the situation of the Knicks to equalize the score. The current score of the two sides is 44:44, and the ball has returned to the hands of the Knicks. It's still Zhang Chen's control of the ball. In the Knicks' counterattack frenzy, Zhang Chen was more conscientious in controlling the ball for half-time, and then gave the ball to Randoff. So far, he has only scored 15 points. This score may be quite good for other players, but for each game For Zhang Chen, who often scored more than 40 points in the competition, such a score is not much.

The situation of this game is deliberately suppressed by Zhang Chen. Everyone feels that Zhang Chen's attack threat is getting smaller and smaller, but Randolph's attack threat is getting bigger and bigger. The Mavericks recognized this point of view, so they did not immediately go forward to defend after seeing Zhang Chen's possession of the ball, but accordingly increased their defensive attention to the insider Randorff.

Therefore, only one Josh Howard was left who could be mobilized to defend Zhang Chen.

Outside the three-point line, Zhang Chen suddenly stopped, and then his body stood straight, like a hard and straight javelin. Even so, Zhang Chen's possession of the ball is still as stable as a rock, and the other side can't steal from his possession at all.

Basketball is still Zhang Chen's most loyal partner, and the opponents can't complete the process of stealing. On the contrary, the basketball is controlled by Zhang Chen as smooth and gorgeous as mercury. Josh Howard thinks that Zhang Chen is definitely going to pass the ball now, because Zhang Chen often passes the ball immediately after stopping outside the three-point line to review the game.

Therefore, Howard did not take too much defensive attention, and at this time, Zhang Chen suddenly bent down and made forge ahead. When Howard reacted, it was too late. Zhang Chen's breakthrough this time was just a violent sudden acceleration, and there was no superfluous. However, such a forced breakthrough from fist to meat also made Howard have no time to stop it at all. What's more, Zhang Chen still has such a frightening speed that he can't defend at all?

When Zhang Chen raised his speed to the peak, everyone knew that he could not prevent this guy today. Zhang Chen also took the opportunity to insert directly into the inside line, like a sharp arrow leaving the big bow, quickly piercing the air, drawing a burst of roar and then quickly towards the arrow stack.

With just one step of time and space, Zhang Chen directly stepped away from Howard's defense. His own body had entered the vicinity of the free throw line. At this time, the Mavericks' inner line was focused on Randorff, and there were no extra troops to defend.

Nowitzki observed the situation and immediately determined that he had to do it. Nowitzki let go of his defensive object and rushed to Zhang Chen.

The moment he saw Nowitzki, Zhang Chen had jumped high. Then, he pushed the basketball into the sky with his hands. At the last moment when he was about to push away the basketball, his right hand touched the unlucky right hand that Nowitzki came up to defend, and Zhang Chen's body fell to the left like a broken kite. Go.

"Bang!" Zhang Chen fell on the floor. Through the big screen and the retinas of the referees, the scene in front of him was that Zhang Chen was slapped by Nowitzki at the moment of the jump shot, and then he was beaten down.

However, this picture looks more or less like a fake fall.

What is painful is that the basketball in Zhang Chen's hand still accurately appeared in the basket after the owner fell to the ground in a hurry, which strengthened the Mavericks fans' belief that Zhang Chen was a fake fall. At this time, Zhang Chen also stood up slowly from the floor. The referee awarded Nowitzki a foul. In this way, this guy was beaten into the cold palace. At present, he has committed four fouls, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to play in the third quarter.

"Get out of here! Fake faller!"

"You should go to Hollywood. You need to go there to get the little golden man. Please don't come to the NBA to disturb the order..." The angry fans roared at Zhang Chen one after another, but Zhang Chen did not have any psychological pressure. On the contrary, he filtered these voices with peace of mind and turned a deaf ear. In fact, he really faked the ball just now, because Nowitzki has committed three times. He estimated that the home referee would not blow Nowitzki's foul in order to balance. In order to let this guy rest as soon as possible, Zhang Chen used a fake fall. Now the league has not begun to fight the fake fall vigorously for the time being. Zhang Chen's fake fall is also realistic, and the referee has to give Nowitzki a foul.

Zhang Chen, who stood on the free throw line, was full of confidence, and the free throw hit steadily.

There were only the last six seconds left in the first half of the game. The Mavericks' head coach did not replace Nowitzki for the time being, but still let him participate in the last attack in the first half.

Nowitzki's face was already full of anger that he had finally suppressed. He felt that he had not given much strength, but Zhang Chen was knocked down by himself like this - how is this possible? Unfortunately, Zhang Chen's free throw has been shot, everything has been settled, and it's completely too late.

The Mavericks' last attack was handled quite well. Unfortunately, the basketball still hit the rebound in the end and finally bounced out. The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

47:44, the Knicks overtwined their opponents by three points at the end of the first half, and had a little but better lead than nothing. Returning to the bench, Zhang Chen and Randov high-fiveed each other. Randov still did not forget to praise Zhang Chen: "Hey, Chen, you bad guy, that German was made miserable by you today! Seriously, he is a great threat to our team. Now we are not afraid of him!"

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "That's natural... After the threat of Deke is lifted, our situation will be much easier."

Then the players of the Knicks all walked into the locker room, but the Mavericks looked a little sad. The head coach of the Mavericks asked Nowitzi angrily, "Hey, Dirk, can you tell me what happened just now? Why did you suddenly make so many fouls?

"They are all the damn Chinese. I swear that his last shot was a fake fall. In fact, I never wanted to shoot him down from the air."

"Well, the last ball is indeed because of his fake fall, and I can also see this, so I'm more interested in why you gave it to Zach at the beginning. How many free fouls did Landorff have?

Nowitzki's face soon became gloomy: "That's an unforgivable guy. If possible, I really want to kill him with one shot!" The harsh words of Nowitzki, who has always been gentle, surprised the head coach of the Mavericks and said, "Well, I think I can understand your anger. Now what I want to say is that you can spend the second half of the game on the bench, and now the team can't risk putting you on it."

Nowitzki nodded, but there was a little anger on his face. He took a look at the direction of Zhang Chen and the others entering the player channel. Nowitzki clenched his teeth with hatred.

While Nowitzki was thinking about how to retaliate, a beat-up suddenly came from the side. Obviously, this hateful voice came from their boss Kuban. Kuban stood in front of Nowitzki and said, "Hey, Dirk, today you The performance is a little abnormal! I don't think you should be so impulsive. In fact, I think it's good to be a person who can control your behavior like me.
