【NBA: No. 1 Forward】【】
However, the Dallas Mavericks have not forgotten their mission.
Now, the Mavericks must win this game at Madison Square Garden before they have any hope of a comeback.
But for the Knicks, who have lost one game at home so far in the playoffs, the Mavericks have a very difficult task.
However, Nowitzki and the Mavericks will obviously not surrender because of the arduous task.
Nowitzki's cold has recovered a lot after several days of treatment.
He said in an interview before the game: "There is nothing impossible. The meaning of the existence of the record is to be broken. What no team has done before, does not include what cannot be done now."
"3:1, comeback against the wind. Although it is difficult, it also means that there is an opportunity. Since we have an opportunity, we will not give up!"
Nowitzki did not admit defeat, he firmly believed that he would be able to create miracles in the end!
This may be the window period for him to finally win the championship. Even if the road is full of thorns and bumps, he is still unwilling to give up even a shred of hope.
Until now, Nowitzki's championship heart is still burning.
It's just the New York Knicks. It's just a group of young people who just finished rebuilding. It's just a team that couldn't even make the playoffs a few years ago.
Nowitzki has not played yet, but he has adjusted his state to the best.
An hour before the start of the game, players from both sides came out to warm up.
Lian Dao was a little nervous when he was in the locker room just now, but as soon as he stepped into the court, this place full of blood and sweat, Lian Dao felt his heart calm down instantly.
He has fought here, he is familiar with every floor and every light here.
He once fell into the sand here, and he also made the fans cheer wildly here.
Here, right here, this is Lian Dao's home field, he is fearless here!
On the other side of the court, the Mavericks' warm-up field was filled with a chill atmosphere. There was no chatting, no laughing, and some were just meticulously preparing for the game.
Whether it's Nowitzki or Kidd, or Shawn Marion, Jason Terry...
They all know what this game means, and this game may be a game that determines their fate. Therefore, this group of people has become calmer and more dangerous than usual.
Lian Dao knew that Nowitzki would not give up the victory.
The German was never one to admit defeat easily.
Before lifting the championship trophy, Lian Dao will probably face the most difficult opponent in his career.
Everyone knows that if the Mavericks want to win today, Nowitzki must perform superbly and be omnipotent.
That sounds harsh for a 32-year-old in the twilight of his career.
But this season, Nowitzki's superb performance can be done more than once or twice.
In the absence of Caron Butler, the Mavericks were able to go all the way to the finals, which is inseparable from Nowitzki's superb performance.
After the opening ceremony, the Knicks and Mavericks faced each other again.

For the Knicks, Gallinari has returned to the starting lineup, other than that there has been no change, Holiday, Danny Green, Gallinari, Lian Dao, Stoudemire.
The Mavericks continued with the regular lineup, and the Dallasites did not have the capital to change their lineup. They could only start with those few players, and there was no room for adjustment at all.
In fact, until now, it doesn't make much sense to change the lineup. Basically, the moves that can be used have been used in the previous few games.
At this time, things at the tactical lineup level actually have little impact on the game.
Whether the game can be won depends purely on the performance status of the players on both sides.
At the end of the game, it is a battle between hard power and hard power. It is the players who ultimately decide the outcome of the basketball court!
Amidst the cheers of the fans, the referee kicked off on time.
Chandler also worked very hard today. He jumped the ball high in the opening game. Originally, Stoudemire did not have the advantage when jumping the ball with Chandler. Here's the chance.
Kidd received the ball and pushed it steadily across half court.
In the auditorium, Knicks fans shouted loudly with the rhythm of the live DJ music, with great momentum.
But the old monster Kidd was not affected at all. He controlled the ball beyond the three-point line and directed his teammates to run.
Chandler mentioned the high post as an off-ball screen for Nowitzki, and Nowitzki received a pass from Kidd.
Before Lian Dao squeezed through the screen, Nowitzki completed a three-pointer with Stoudemire blocking the fadeaway jumper.
Resolute, decisive, without delay!
"brush!"
Nowitzki showed his determination at the beginning. He used a three-pointer from the outside to declare that the Dallas people have not given up. They would rather die than bow their heads to their opponents. .
Lian Dao knew early on that it was impossible to win the championship so smoothly. If the Mavericks were defeated so easily, they would not have defeated the Big Three of the Heat in history.
The Mavericks tried their best to make trouble for the Knicks today, and they vowed to bring the game to Dallas.
However, Lian Dao will not be afraid of the challenge, after Nowitzki made a three-pointer in the opening game.
Amidst the cheers of the fans, Lian Dao passed Marion and Nowitzki who was assisting in the defense. After rushing to the basket, he once again escaped the defending Chandler with a wonderful pull-bar change and made a layup. scored.
The Mavericks' opening defense still seemed unable to stop Lian Dao from scoring.
"After Dirk hit a three-pointer, Sickle immediately responded with a difficult layup that passed three people in a row."
"Sickle's autonomous offensive ability is too strong. He can launch an attack at any time, and use a more direct and unique way to help the team score and play momentum!"
"The Mavericks currently lack such a player. Whether it is a traditional insider or a shooting insider, it is difficult for them to use themselves to drive the offense of the entire team!"
Barkley's words were quickly confirmed in the next round.
Lian Dao personally defended Nowitzki's back, and repeatedly confronted him to no avail. Nowitzki had no choice but to use Chandler's pick-and-roll again to get rid of Lian Dao.

But Stoudemire's fierce defense bought Lian Dao time to get rid of Chandler's pick-and-roll.
Immediately, Nowitzki faced the double-teaming of Lian Dao and Stoudemire just like the previous game. At this time, he tried to transfer the ball again, but found that the situation was not so optimistic.
Although Nowitzki's vision is very good, he is not a master passer.
Although Nowitzki can distribute the ball, this kind of distribution is more about simply distributing the ball, not transferring the ball to the threat area. There is a big difference between the two.
Seeing the predicament that the Mavericks had in the previous game, this game will repeat itself~www.mtlnovel.com~ Kidd hurriedly responded at this time.
Nowitzki hastily handed the ball to Kidd.
Kidd returned to the perimeter again, but the Mavericks' offensive time was not much left.
Chandler pulled to the outside to cover again. With the help of the screen, Kidd made a direct three-pointer from the outside.
"brush!"
In the two offenses, the Mavericks' two outside shots were very decisive.
The Knicks still attacked according to their own rhythm, and Holiday pushed the ball across the half court steadily again.
Still handing the ball to Lian Dao, but this time Lian Dao encountered a fierce double-team from the Mavericks. Sen hurriedly turned around and completed his defense.
Danny Green's shot was interfered, and the basketball hit the basket.
"Stevenson's defense is very active, and his filling speed is also very fast. Danny Green's shooting was greatly disturbed this time!"
In other words,,,..version. 】
"The Mavericks obviously don't want to admit defeat. They are more active and aggressive on both offense and defense in this game!"
Although the rebound was snatched by Stoudemire, his shot was interfered by Chandler in the second attack, and it ended in a strike again.
The Mavericks defended fiercely this round, and the defense was tighter than before.
Anyone who wants to get a chance to score must pay more energy.
When Lian Dao attacked for the first time, he thought that this game should not be difficult, but now it seems that he still underestimated the determination of the Mavericks.
In the next attack, the Mavericks used the player's running position and conduct the ball to hope to get another chance, but the Knicks' man marking did not allow the Mavericks to get an open opportunity.
