Chapter 875: A Glimpse of Victory and the Old Driver!

Old Nelson tried to use Durant's undercover attack on the court to exchange Kwame Brown's fouls, and the effect was very obvious.

Three failures in exchange for one success, increasing Kwame Brown's foul count from two to three, and Old Nelson felt it was worth it.

Carlisle on the sidelines was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.

Carlisle is also a stubborn person.

Since you want to use points to exchange Kwame Brown's fouls, then I will continue to let Kwame Brown stay on the court when Kwame Brown commits three fouls and is in trouble with fouls!

Let's see if you really fall behind and lose points, or even more than ten points, and you dare to let Durant continue to mess with Kwame Brown like this!

Kwame Brown is in pain. There is only a thief who can do thieves for a thousand days, but there is no thief who can guard against thieves for a thousand days?

Even if he concentrates on the defensive end and does well, KD will always find an opportunity.

KD is a thief who does a great job!

He is now really immune to Durant's way of making fouls, and his immunity is even getting higher and higher.

In the next game, Kwame Brown can even be sure that Durant will definitely not use such a trick to create a foul crisis for him again!

However, that is the next game, when his foul count is reset and recalculated!

This game is really not good!

I have to say that the two fouls caused by KD in the first quarter were too hurtful!

These two fouls were laid there, and the Supersonics and KD would tease him unscrupulously!

The first time!

The second time!

The third time!

The fourth time!

The fifth time!

This time, Durant made the fifth attempt to cause Kwame Brown's foul.

At this time, the Seattle Supersonics' deficit has increased from three points to 8 points!

Durant made two free throws, and the eight-point difference became six points, and Kwame Brown had already carried 4 fouls!

If carrying three fouls in the first half is a minor foul crisis, then carrying four in the first half is an absolute severe foul crisis. No matter what, if the player wants to continue the game, he must leave the court!

So when there were two minutes left in the second quarter, Kwame Brown looked at Durant coming off the court with a look of ‘grievance’ and ‘reluctance’, and the Mavericks fans and reporters on the sidelines were really stunned!

"Can this game be played like this?"

"I seem to have watched a game full of Hack-a-Shaq tactics..."

"Hack-a-Shaq tactics seem to be old Nelson's..."

"Which of the two tactics you mentioned is more disgusting?"

"Durant's foul is even more disgusting than Hack-a-Shaq tactics!"

"Of course, Hack-a-Shaq means you foul yourself and others take free throws, while Durant's method means others foul you and you take free throws. The disadvantages are blocked by others, but the benefits are taken by yourself!"

"That can't be said. In order to make Kwame Brown commit two fouls in the second quarter, Durant failed in his second attempt. Among the seven attempts, except for one jump shot that turned into a pass without mistakes and no misses, the other six attempts had three mistakes and three misses!"

"Durant and the Supersonics paid a great price for these two fouls."

"But it's all worth it!"

Of course it's worth it. Using a six-point deficit to exchange for Kwame Brown's end is already a huge profit for the Supersonics and old Nelson!

If possible, old Nelson is even willing to double it!

It is not impossible to use the 12-point deficit to exchange Kwame Brown's departure!

Because the facts have proved that

Kwame Brown is the pass code for the Supersonics in this game!

In just two minutes after Kwame Brown left the court, the Mavericks' offensive and defensive quality once again collectively declined.

It took the Supersonics only two minutes to wipe out the six-point difference that was previously used to get Kwame Brown off the court!

58 to 58!

At the end of the half-time game, the two teams returned to the same starting line again. The score looked the same, but Kwame Brown entered the second half with four fouls!

So, in this case, let alone old Nelson and the Mavericks players, who are the parties involved in the Mavericks.

Even the Mavericks fans on the sidelines know how big the crisis of the Mavericks is now.

"The current situation of the Mavericks reminds me of the Supersonics two years ago. When the Supersonics played in the playoffs with the Spurs, Popovich and Duncan tried their best to make Milicic foul. At that time, Milicic was the only trustworthy player in the Supersonics' interior. If he went down, everything would be over!"

"I didn't expect that in just two years, the Supersonics went from being a victim with a weak lineup to being the perpetrator!"

"Yes, in just three years, the Supersonics have cultivated Milicic, Millsap and Gasol, who can stand on their own in the interior!"

This season is the first season that the Mavericks have truly completed the reconstruction.

The reconstruction is only the completion of the team's structure and the foundation, but outside the structure and the foundation, there are still many decorations to be done.

The current lineup of the Mavericks is indeed very, very simple.

The interior is too dependent on the role of Kwame Brown.

And the outside is too dependent on the role of Afflalo.

Neither of them has a qualified substitute, and the team lacks a sufficiently outstanding defensive substitute inside and outside.

Carlisle knows all this.

He is willing to pay tuition for this reason, but he really doesn't want to pay such tuition!

The situation he wants to see when paying tuition is that Kwame Brown and Afflalo fight hard against their opponents, but in the end their energy is exhausted and the team loses.

Instead of like now, Kwame Brown still has available physical strength and energy, but he just can't use it!

This can be really frustrating!

In the second quarter, in order to fight for courage with Nelson, Kwame Brown did not commit three fouls. In the end, Kwame Brown committed four fouls.

This is a huge hidden danger for the Mavericks.

After the start of the second half, Carlisle did not continue to be so aggressive.

Kwame Brown did not play in the third quarter.

Kwame Brown is really important to the Mavericks!

It's not just important to Afflalo, the playmaker.

It is also very important for Nowitzki, the core of the Mavericks!

Because of Kwame Brown's force on the offensive end, Nowitzki has enough space to beat Millsap one-on-one.

The Sonics would not dare to use outside players to double-team Nowitzki.

The Mavericks' perimeter players attack too hard, and double-teaming them from the outside is looking for death!

With Kwame Brown, Milicic didn't dare to double-team Nowitzki easily.

This makes Nowitzki feel comfortable playing Millsap.

No one can handle Nowitzki one-on-one.

But when Kwame Brown came off and replaced by Dampier, the situation was completely different.

Dampier doesn't need much energy from Milicic at all. Where does Milicic's remaining energy go?

Of course it's Nowitzki's place!

In the second quarter, the Mavericks' six-point deficit was wiped out in two minutes because the Mavericks were really not used to the situation without Kwame Brown. For a while, the team didn't know how to operate and was a little confused.

In the third quarter, after halftime break.

Clearly Carlisle has more arrangements.

Kwame Brown was not on the court, and the Mavericks were still very passive in the second half, but the chaos was gone.

The Mavericks began to play singles with key players.

Afflalo, Monta Alice, Josh Howard, and Nowitzki all have strong singles abilities.

These key players look for opportunities to play alone, cooperate as little as possible, and let Milicic participate in assisting defense as little as possible.

This tactic is correct.

Nelson also noticed that in the third quarter, Carlisle was trying to stall for time and cowardly him!

This is to drag Kwame Brown up to the fourth quarter to have a decisive battle with him!

The overall strength of Kwame Brown's Mavericks on the court is indeed beyond him.

As long as the Mavericks don't fall behind by many points in the third quarter, the Mavericks do have a chance.

"Now it's Carlisle's turn to trade space for time!"

This is really a turn of events!

Nelson was excited.

Of course it is impossible for him to give the Mavericks such space in exchange for time!

With a wave of his hand, the Seattle SuperSonics' offensive rhythm suddenly changed!

Looking at Old Nelson's instructions on the sidelines, Rondo was a little unhappy. What was he doing so quickly? Isn't the second master directing traffic cool or sao? !

Complaints are complaints. Now that Nelson has given instructions, Rondo doesn't dare to disobey.

The style instantly changed from directing the ball and controlling the success rate to quickly releasing the ball and attacking the number of rounds quickly!

Kwame Brown is not on the court. I am a fish and he is a knife. Carlisle saw the changes in the SuperSonics and gritted his teeth and endured it!

You have to endure it even if you can’t bear it!

He can't wait to replace Kwame Brown now!

However, he knows that Kwame Brown can only be used in the decisive battle in this game!

As for whether it can be delayed until the decisive battle and the fourth quarter, he can only hope for other Mavericks players on the court.

If he can delay the decisive battle, he must let the SuperSonics know how I, Rick Carlisle, started to go bald!

The Mavericks' current tactics are to wait for changes, turn the offense into singles, make as few mistakes as possible, and extend each offensive round as much as possible.

The Mavericks players are indeed working very hard.

But Dampier stayed on the court, almost as if they were playing four-on-five.

This is really difficult!

They want to stall for time, but the wolf-like Sonics players really don't give them any room to stall for time!

Too weak!

"It's hard to imagine that the game between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks would turn out like this!"

After the third quarter, Barkley was a little surprised when he saw the Seattle SuperSonics leading the Mavericks 92 to 80.

"Durant didn't feel very good in this game, but obviously, he changed this series!"

Kenny Smith didn't want to say this, but he had to admit that after the first game, he expected the Sonics to be swept by the Mavericks.

Looking at it now, the SuperSonics should be able to win this game.

The Seattle SuperSonics should not have to consider being swept by the Mavericks, so there is really no problem in saying that Durant changed this series.

The third quarter ended with a 12-point deficit.

This backwardness can be considered small or large.

It's a pretty uncomfortable score difference.

The 12-point deficit was larger than Carlisle and the players expected at halftime. He expected the deficit to be within 10 points at the time.

But after seeing Nelson make the SuperSonics go crazy with intensity and speed, he was a little lucky that the 12-point deficit wasn't that big. With Nelson finishing his game in one game, he even felt that he was going to lose it after the third quarter. It's time to enter garbage time.

Unexpectedly, the resilience of other Mavericks players was much stronger than he imagined.

Overall, it's good to be 12 points behind and not collapse!

This means that no matter whether the game can be won in the end, at least the Mavericks still have a chance!

In the fourth quarter, the Dallas Mavericks put Kwame Brown on the court at the beginning!

Except for Nowitzki who was resting on the sidelines, all the other main players of the Mavericks were on the court, plus Terry.

This lineup is quite powerful.

The Mavericks made a posture of a decisive battle with the Supersonics from the beginning!

In the first half of the fourth quarter, the other players gave full output, and after Nowitzki came on in the second half, Nowitzki gave full output!

In Carlisle's plan, the Mavericks prepared to have high pressure on the offensive end throughout the fourth quarter!

If the Supersonics can be crushed, that would be the best.

Even if they can't be crushed, such segmented pressure can also win physical advantages!

He believed that with his arrangement, Yes would never dare to rest in the fourth quarter!

The third quarter was played to the full, and the fourth quarter continued to be played to the full, and he only rested for 3 minutes in the first half.

After the whole game, he played for 45 minutes!

Even if the game is lost, as long as Yes can be consumed, it is worth it!

Carlisle's prediction was indeed correct. Facing the high pressure of the Mavericks, old Nelson was indeed worried about not having Yes on the court.

Yes, Durant, Gasol, Harden and Barea, this was the rotation lineup of the Supersonics in the first half of the fourth quarter.

As long as Yes is on the court, facing any opponent, leading by 12 points, old Nelson is not intimidated!

On the court, how many times did the Mavericks want to gain momentum?

Monta Elise and Terry's fairy balls against Yes were quickly returned by Yes!

Seeing the fairy balls of Terry and Monta Elise against Yes, the Mavericks fans on the sidelines thought that the team was going to gain momentum, but in an instant, a basin of cold water brought by Yes himself poured them from head to toe and chilled them thoroughly.

"Yes's key ball ability is too strong!"

"As long as the Sonics are given enough lead, no team can turn the tables on the Sonics!"

The fire kept being put out, and then it started again and was put out again, over and over again...

This really made the Mavericks fans and Carlisle on the sidelines angry.

You can't shout, you can't scold, and if you boo, you'll be slapped in the face. This feeling is really uncomfortable!

Fortunately, Carlisle can still comfort himself. It doesn't matter if the score can't catch up, at least Yes has been consumed!

When the referee, Bald Crawford, blew the whistle for the game.

The score on the sidelines scoreboard read 120 to 114!

The Seattle Supersonics defeated the Dallas Mavericks away and won the first victory in the Western Conference semifinals.

And it was a precious away victory.

However, when he came off the court, Yes looked at the score on the sidelines, and then looked at Nowitzki who was comforting his teammates and apologizing to the fans on the other side...

The glimpse of the strong performance in the second half of the fourth quarter...

45...33...52...60...46...

Such a low touch, but they actually won the game...

Yes looked at Durant who was a little excited beside him.

Perhaps, the victory of this game is really not as important as imagined!
