Chapter 122 (120-[-]) Super Giant vs. Super Giant

Dirk Nowitzki was not necessarily a superstar in the eyes of many people before 05.

Although he was 22 years old and in his third season in the NBA, he averaged 21+9 per game.But in the eyes of the media, he is only one of the Dallas Three Musketeers.

The next year, he won his first Western Conference player of the week.But many fans still comment on him that he shoots well, but his style of play is a bit "soft".They think a tough guy like Duncan is the representative of a power forward.

In the 02-03 season, he made great strides forward, and the Mavericks made a fantastic start and ranked first in the league.Nowitzki also became the best player of the month, but unfortunately he was only tied with Finlay Nash.This year, his average data per game has reached 25.1+9.9+3.0, an absolute superstar.But when people count power forwards, they first think of Duncan, Garnett, Webber, and even O'Neal and Rasheed.

"The German, yes. He's probably the fourth or fifth best power forward in the league?" A lot of people said that.

Nowitzki was not convinced, he didn't understand why he was not as good as Duncan Garnett.Some media thinking is very stubborn, they only value the traditional solid power forward at the basket, but they can't see Nowitzki shooting historical standards time and time again.He also doubted himself in the failure and was confused about the future direction, but he finally decided to believe in his basketball philosophy.

"I will never blindly imitate other people's style of play! I believe that European basketball style of play can also gain a foothold in the NBA and make a difference!"

And today, on a familiar venue in Dallas, he met the league's strongest touchstone, double MVP McGrady.This also forced out the strongest Nowitzki, the perfect German king.

Yao Ming used his footsteps to sway past Dampier again, and lightly stretched his ape arm to make a small throw.Nowitzki, who is not good at moving, arrived in time to slap the ball out.

Dampier caught the ball and beat Yao Ming and scored one, he laughed.It is indeed difficult to confront Yao Ming head-on, but he has a superstar inside partner. Nowitzki's top shooting ability can easily help him open up space, which is where Dampier relies.

McGrady broke through for a layup and was blocked by Nowitzki, and Daniels got the ball.American Airlines Center cheers everywhere, Nowitzki is the god in the hearts of Dallas fans!

Terry passed the ball, Nowitzki caught the ball and made a three-pointer.Bosh roared and jumped up, he was so close that he almost touched the release point.Nuo Tianwang slightly adjusted the arc of his shot, and the ball flew extremely high, spinning and gliding in the air for a long time, before hitting the net hollowly!

The Rockets managed to catch up to 2 goals, and Yao Ming's shot was once again blocked by Nowitzki's help defense!A blond female fan on the sidelines covered her mouth excitedly and seemed about to cry.Nowitzki sent three big caps in a single quarter. Who said he can't defend?

Driven by the leading generals, the Mavericks' three armies put their lives to the test, and everyone dared to fight hard, gradually widening the gap.At 73:83 after three quarters, the Mavericks led by 10 points.Nowitzki has scored 30+12+4!

The generals of the Rockets are a little confused. If it is said that playing the Jazz is a rotation, and playing the Nuggets and Pistons is not in good condition, but what happened today?The Rockets have played at a high level on both offense and defense, but the Mavericks are still slowly expanding their advantage.

Only the leader can stand up at this time!But McGrady's dull personality is destined to lead the team to play, but he will not stand up to encourage his teammates.While Billups is very good and has leadership qualities, he is not the type of player who regards scoring as a bag.He can't stand up and say "Tracey will leave it to you later", can he?

In the midst of difficulties, the Rockets still started the final quarter of the game with an all-out posture.On the first offense, Jefferson played a beautiful match. Jefferson received a wonderful pass from Chauncey in an air cut and got a chance to go up to the basket, but the ball slid out of the basket after spinning 2 times.Jefferson was annoyed.

Nowitzki hit the big stick hard, and after a physical confrontation, he hit a fallback jumper.The referee whistles, 2+1!

Tang Shuai shook his head and replaced Wang Zhizhi.Nowitzki's shooting after the confrontation is also a must, which is a bit similar to Bodi Loga. These Europeans are very good at slightly adjusting their posture and shooting in various irregular postures.

McGrady missed a jumper.Chauncey got out of the gap between Howard and Dampier and grabbed the rebound, handed it to Jefferson for another shot, and made a three-pointer 76:86!

Nowitzki fouled Bosh again and made 2 of 2 free throws, just like an unstoppable attacking German tank!

McGrady made a three-pointer against Stackhouse, 79:88!

Nowitzki came up with a special trick - the golden rooster made an independent jumper, 79:90.

McGrady flew up and made a layup, 81:90!

The game seems to have become a duo.McGrady hit one, Nowitzki hit one, and sparks collided between the two superstars.

Nowitzki's jumper finally hit the iron, McGrady suddenly attracted the double-team and scored the ball from the outside, and Billups hit a three-pointer 84:90!The point difference finally returned to 6 points.

Stackhouse made a strong attack on McGrady and failed to get rid of the defense, so he forced a shot and was blocked by McGrady.It's a pity that Yao Ming also failed to hit in singles.

Howard missed a three-pointer, Dampier squeezed Yao Ming, and Nowitzki grabbed a rebound.Yao Ming quickly fouled, and Nuo Tianwang still made 2 free throws steadily.

McGrady hit Stackhouse with his back, and easily turned around and made a solid jumper, 86:92.

Terry suddenly accelerated and broke through Billups' defense, but Jefferson made up the defense, and Terry stopped and passed to Dampier, who forced a shot.McGrady slapped him obliquely and flew away.The two sides competed for the floor ball in chaos. Nowitzki finally got the ball set by his teammates and shot.The Dallas home court was played in silence and lost his temper.

Not long ago, Dallas fans were still cheering for Nowitzki's consecutive blocks. Unexpectedly, the situation was reversed in just one quarter.Driven by McGrady, the Rockets played a high level of defense, and then defended against the opponent's 30 attacks.

Bosh hit 2 points.Terry made another dribble error under McGrady's pressure. McGrady jumped up and dunked vigorously. Amid the boos of the fans in the audience, he roared to the sky!

"40 points! McGrady scored 40 points!" Even Barkley couldn't help shouting.

"McGrady alone, facing a city of people, showed the arrogance of 'come with you, and score like me'!" Smith also praised loudly.

This time even the Rockets players were stunned. Is this still the sleepy-eyed, confused teammate who clubbed all night?He is back to last season's MVP!

Josh. Howard finally hit a jumper with 2 points.McGrady missed the shot this time, but Yao Ming grabbed the rebound and passed to Billups, making a jumper 92:94!

After the two sides hit 2 irons each, the Novus Fund Chicken scored again independently, and he has already scored 41 points!

Billups hit a three-pointer, only 95 point away at 96:1!

Big heart Terry hit a return ball and hit a three-pointer!It's a pity that the referee decided to step on the line and only counted as 2 points.

Yao Ming beat Dampier hard to resist the dunk with both hands hanging on the basket, 97:98.

Nowitzki dribbles past Bosh and drives to the basket.Yao Ming makes up defense, whistle blows, foul!

Yao Ming looked numb. He turned his head and glanced at the scoreboard. There were only 31 seconds left.It's a pity that we still couldn't fight to the end.

Pulzby played first, and Yao Ming left the game sadly with 6 fouls.He felt mediocre in this game, but he still contributed 13+14 and beat Dampier who only got 5+9.

Nowitzki made two free throws, 97:100.The Rockets called a timeout.

"The Mavericks will definitely guard against three-pointers. Let's make a simple two-pointer first." Tang Shuai arranged.

"Leave it to me." McGrady was still concise, but in the eyes of all Rockets, he was so reliable.

Old Tang nodded.

***

McGrady got the ball and simply suppressed the rhythm. While controlling the ball, he observed the movements of his teammates and defensive players.

With 25 seconds left, McGrady suddenly started and easily reached the basket.At this time, Billups, Jefferson, Turkoglu and Big Zhi, who had just been replaced, were all scattered to the outside, and the Mavericks were empty inside.Finally, a Mavericks player couldn't bear it, and the young Daniels stepped forward to help defend McGrady.

McGrady did not hesitate to score the ball outside, Jefferson was empty, and made a three-pointer, but unfortunately missed!

The rebound bounced high, but the Mavericks' defenders were all stretched out and didn't get stuck.McGrady grabbed a rebound and made a tip-up, but still missed.McGrady used the strength of his waist and abdomen to get back up and hit the ball. Daniels pulled McGrady down and fouled!

And the ball was picked up by McGrady and flew into the Nets danglingly, the ball went in! 2+1!

Madija made a free throw, 100 draws!

With Stackhouse missing the final buzzer, the two sides entered overtime.

Tracy McGrady scored 42 points and Nowitzki scored 43 points. It seems that the scoring contest between the two superstars will continue.

***

Nowitzki was tired, and his teammates didn't give him much support.He scored 13 points in this quarter, while his teammates only scored 4 points.The Mavericks were forced into overtime with a 10-point lead.

"Dirk, are you physically fit?" Assistant coach Avery Johnson asked.

"The home fans are cheering for us, how can I not?" Nowitzki laughed.Indeed, he loves Dallas deeply and will pay too much for the city in the future.

"Follow Dirk to fight and win the game!" Don Nelson finally established prestige for Nowitzki.If the previous Mavericks were the team of the Three Musketeers, with Nash's departure and Finley's injury, the Mavericks have gradually become Nowitzki's own team.Multi-core to single-core is not necessarily a bad thing, and now Dallas is thriving.

Overtime began, Nowitzki came up to receive a pass from Stackhouse and made a jumper!

"45 points!" Barkley was still remembering the points, "Nowitzki and McGrady, who can become the scoring leader in this game?"

Billups missed a three-pointer and Daniels grabbed a rebound.Pushing to the frontcourt, Stackhouse made a wonderful pass to Nowitzki, and it seemed that Dirk was about to show off his golden rooster independence again.

"How can I let you succeed again?" McGrady roared and rushed forward, stretching out his long arms to block the shot.

The ball went into the whistle, Nowitzki succeeded in a jumper, and an additional free throw was required!

Additional penalty hit.Billups was suddenly double-teamed by many people. He managed to protect the ball calmly and threw it out suddenly. Unfortunately, the tall and long-armed Nowitzki grabbed the ball first.

Wang Zhizhi made a defensive foul and Nowitzki made 2 free throws, 100:107.

"50 points!" Barkley shouted: "It seems that today's scoring champion has been born."

McGrady made another mistake and was intercepted by Howard.Nowitzki made another three-pointer and scored. He has scored 53 points!

With only 3 minutes left in the game, the Rockets, who were 10 points behind, had to gamble three points.McGrady and Billups hit three three-pointers in a row, but unfortunately they woke up too late and eventually missed the victory.

113:120，双方在加时打出了一个罕见的高分，最终小牛主场取胜。诺维斯基32投15中加上罚球22罚21中，得到了生涯最高的53分，另外还有16篮板3抢断和4盖帽。麦迪毫不逊色，36投19中得到了48+9+9的准三双。两位超级巨星为球迷们奉献了一场无比精彩的比赛。

Of course, no matter how exciting the game is, losing is not a pleasant thing for the players.This is especially true for the defending champion with lofty aspirations.After the Rockets lost the ball, their record was 8 wins and 9 losses, and their winning percentage fell below 50% again.The record has also been pulled away by the Lakers (9-7), the eighth in the West, by as much as one and a half games, and the playoffs are getting further and further away.

　I focused on writing this battle because it was the highest scoring battle of Nowitzki's career.It was also a battle of dominance between the two superstars.
