Chapter 637

Back from the timeout, the Suns lineup remained unchanged, and the Mavericks replaced their strongest offensive lineup, Kidd + Terry + Ray Allen + Artest + Nuo Tianwang.
This lineup can also be regarded as a small lineup, with very strong firepower. There are only 2 minutes and 19 seconds left before the end of the game. Although the Mavericks have a strong momentum of chasing points during this period, they are still behind.
The Suns attacked, and they made mistakes at critical times.
Chen Yan encountered double attack again and couldn't catch the ball.
Rondo dribbles to the top of the key and passes to Gallinari, who passes to Grant Hill.
Old Hill did not go straight to the basket after using the pick-and-roll, he chose to move laterally, because he had been observing Chen Yan's running position throughout the process.
Chen Yan went to the free throw line from the bottom corner, and Old Hill made a direct cross!
"Snapped!"
Kidd rushed out to steal the ball directly!
"The intention of passing the ball is too obvious. Hill still had a small pause in the air and jumped up to pass the ball. This is a taboo for passing the ball." Director Xu couldn't help but regretted.
All the Suns fans gasped, the team actually made a mistake at the most critical moment!
"Back to defense! Back to defense!" Chen Yan didn't have time to pay attention to Hill's mistake just now, and hurriedly called his teammates to return to defense. If the Mavericks took the opportunity to fight back, the Sun's losses due to this mistake would be further expanded.
Kidd took two steps and found that the Suns were returning to defense too fast, so he immediately switched to another rhythm, slowing down and dribbling across half court.
For the current Mavericks, scoring is important, but more important is the success rate.
Simply put, there is no rush.
This is where the importance of an experienced point guard comes into play.
Kidd stepped back to protect the ball from outside the three-point line, and he was waiting for Nowitzki to come forward to receive the ball.
At this time, it is safest to give the ball to the superstar to handle it.
When Kidd was protecting the ball, he didn't forget to hit Rondo with his shoulders and back, in order to gain more space in the later shots.
Otherwise, if Rondo sticks close, it will easily cause his pass to be deformed, which will further lead to mistakes.
Kidd passed the ball very smoothly, and he made no mistakes.
But he can't count Nowitzki's mistake after all his calculations!
Nowitzki catches the ball at the top of the key through a screen, which is also his preferred area.
But he didn't expect that Chen Yan rushed in front of him the moment he caught the ball.
A very decisive double-team!
Nowitzki didn't even see who was coming up, he only felt a black shadow appearing on his left.
The next second, Nowitzki subconsciously glanced at the left corner.
Because Ray Allen in the left three-point corner is empty.
A shooter of Ray Allen's level is empty, and any teammate will find a way to deliver the shells to his hands.
Nowitzki is no exception.
However, what Nowitzki didn't expect was that the moment he raised the ball, Chen Yan made a preemptive strike!
I saw Chen Yan swept the ball away from Nowitzki's hands with a thunderous momentum!
This action is very fierce, and if you are not careful, you may be called a foul by the referee.
However, Chen Yan's shot was very clean, and he hit the basketball completely!
After stealing the ball, Nowitzki leaned back slightly. Although he did not fall, he lost his balance and had no ability to chase back.
On the Mavericks' side, only Kidd retreated to the defensive half.
On the side of the sun, there are two people who make a fast break, Chen Yan + Rondo.
Kidd can't defend this ball anyway, and the suspense now is how the ball will be scored.
I saw Chen Yan pass the ball diagonally to Rondo from the free throw line, and then slipped to the basket by himself.
Rondo understood and threw the ball into the air.
Air Relay!
However, Chen Yan did not choose to dunk, but completed the action with a layup posture.
It's not that the take-off height is not enough, and it's not that Rondo's pass is not good, it's just that he wants to save a little energy.
The game is not over yet, he has to save his energy to deal with all possible things.
107:112.
In less than 2 minutes, the gap is 5 points!
The home fans waved their flags and shouted, and the momentum returned to the Sun's side again!
Kidd dribbled through the half court under pressure. The more he got to this time, the less he could rush. Kidd understood that the offense in the next round was crucial.
Kidd didn't give the ball directly to Nowitzki, he gestured and let Ray Allen and Artest run a tactic.
Nowitzki helped Ray Allen set a screen and went down.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Kidd decisively turned back!
After receiving the ball, Nowitzki took advantage of the trend and started.
There was still time, and Nowitzki chose to ask for a safe two points first.
"Snapped!"
Just when Nuo Tianwang was about to make a layup, Chen Yan rushed out again and slapped the ball away!
No one knows how Chen Yan appeared in this position, everyone only knows that Chen Yan made Nowitzki's very safe two points not safe at all!
In the commentary, Barkley exclaimed: "One steal, one block! Chen showed his talent on the defensive end."
Kenny Smith echoed: "He's underrated defensively."
Although Chen Yan capped Nuo Tianwang, the ball flew out of the baseline, and it was the Mavericks' offensive round.
There were only 11 seconds left in the attacking round, and Terry barely made a shot after the Mavericks hurriedly completed the cooperation.
"Bang!"
Not in.
Jordan desperately guarded this offensive rebound.
The fans at the scene couldn't bear the excitement and stood up one after another.
The team is getting closer and closer to winning the game.
Rondo passed halftime, Chen Yan used the cover to move and then moved again!
Two steps away from the top of the arc, Chen Yan made a shooting motion after receiving the ball.
Over three points?
Ray Allen and Terry greeted him at the same time.
Chen Yan flashed through the gap between the two like a bolt of lightning!
The fans screamed, this breakthrough is perfect!
Nowitzki and Artest immediately made up.
Chen Yan was not greedy for merit, he knew that a simple two points would be enough to kill Mavericks at this time.
Chen Yan hurriedly looked for Little Qiaodan.
Jordan, who was completely open, pulled up and it was a dunk!
107:114.
The calf's momentum was completely languid.
Rick Carlisle called a symbolic timeout, hoping for a miracle.
Facts have proved that there are no miracles, but more painful whiplashes from reality.
After the timeout, Terry caught the ball and attacked the frame, first with a crotch, and then with a back ready to flash out of space to shoot.
Rondo judged Terry's actions very keenly, and with a light poke with his right hand, Terry's dribble was directly destroyed.
Grant Hill immediately jumped up from the wing and took control of the ball.
The game has completely lost suspense so far.
Neither side scored with 1 minute left.
107:114.
The Suns won at home and took a 2-1 lead in total.
For the Suns, this is a wonderful victory. Chen Yan never dreamed that the team would win the victory through defense one day.
