NBA money-spending system sparks jealousy among female celebrities.

Chapter 587 Five Best Players! D Country's Tank: Superheroes!

Nowitzki played really well.

However... the game is 48 minutes long and lasts for at least two hours. Facing the Spurs in odd-year seasons, it's impossible to rely on him alone forever.

It will definitely be difficult.

With Parker, Ginobili, Odom, and Duncan, they certainly won't let Nowitzki control the game alone.

So why was the game still so close?

It's because... the Mavericks' role players are in really good form this year.

The team swept the Trail Blazers in the first round. Their second-leading scorer, "The Jets" Terry, averaged 3 three-pointers per game with a 50% shooting percentage.

That's quite considerable.

In some respects, he's in better form than Curry.

On the bench are "wonder boy" José Barea and former league top shooter... veteran Peja.

Both players were on fire with their three-point shooting.

On the defensive end, players like Kidd, Stevenson, and Marion all displayed aggressive play.

Everyone is working hard to win.

Everyone was exploding with energy.

These calves... are really hard to stop.

This year is the year the Mavericks won the championship, and the year that Dirk Nowitzki, the "D-country tank," evolved into the legendary "King Nowitzki."

Dirk Nowitzki's individual brilliance, coupled with a team-wide explosion of performance, led to the Mavericks' first championship in franchise history.

The intense match lasted until the final two minutes.

[Spurs 101:101 Mavericks]

It's hard to tell.

The score is tied.

Both teams played at full defensive intensity, and in the past three minutes, no one has scored, and even getting a shot off has been difficult.

Who can break the scoring drought?

Whoever scores first with a strong, aggressive move might be able to lead their team to victory.

Who is it?!

It was Dirk Nowitzki.

On the left high post, Nowitzki received a pass from Kidd, but Odom and Ginobili rushed in to block it.

He forced a "one-legged fadeaway" jump shot.

It's incredibly difficult.

But... the ball flew out from the two large hands like a torpedo, locking onto the basket and hitting the target with certainty.

Nowitzki broke the Mavericks' scoring drought.

This is a good sign.

He then used his height advantage on the defensive end to disrupt Ginobili's "snake-like" layup attempt.

"Kick!"

He jumped again, secured the rebound, and made a long pass to Kidd to initiate a fast break. The Spurs chased him very aggressively.

Kidd settled into his position, slowed the pace, and took no rush.

At this point, not many tactics are needed. Just wait for Nowitzki to come over and set up in the low post on the right side.

Give him the ball.

Backing down Duncan.

Nowitzki vs. Duncan.

A one-on-one battle between the league's top power forwards?!

No.

Popovich doesn't believe in "individual heroism" at all; he prefers the ultimate "team basketball"!

He once propelled Duncan to become the "number one active player" on this path, and he achieved success.

He will continue to do so.

"tread!"

Odom assessed the situation and seized the opportunity, decisively rushing forward to double-team Nowitzki alongside Duncan.

Nowitzki remained calm.

He first gave Duncan a strong challenge, and when Odom double-teamed him, he turned around and shook off Odom.

He's going to stand on one leg again.

"drink!"

"You can't keep succeeding with the same tricks!"

Duncan rushed up, and Odom also went up on the wing to block Nowitzki. The two of them blocked Nowitzki's shot.

Should this shot be blocked?

No.

Nowitzki remained calm; it was just a feint with a one-legged fadeaway, but its deterrent effect was too great.

The two people were sent flying.

Nowitzki gathered the ball, took a step forward, and with a slow, quick step-back layup off the backboard... a clean and easy basket.

crucial moment.

One shot, one attack on the rim, one successful defensive play, one crucial basket – breaking the scoring drought and giving the team a 4-point lead!

Nowitzki dominated the game single-handedly.

It was his "superstar" performance that helped the team pull off an upset victory against the higher-ranked Spurs!

"COMEON!"

After the game.

Joan Barry exclaimed in surprise, "Dirk was amazing, he played so well tonight!"

He single-handedly saved the calf.

He was like a superhero, rescuing the calf from dire straits!!!

"woooow~"

"The Glide" Drexler couldn't help but exclaim, "Dirk really played well."

honestly.

I saw a trace of Su Yan from last year in Dirk Tonight.

No, not just this game. Throughout this year's playoffs, I've seen Su Yan's shadow in Dirk Nowitzki.

He has consistently played the role of saving the team.

Like Su Yan last year, he is a superhero.

The difference is that Su Yan is a true superhero, while Dirk currently only has the shadow of a superhero.

To make the shadow become the real person, he needs to lift the O'Brien Trophy.

of course.

He's already done well enough; the Mavericks might just be this year's dark horse!!!

……

The next day.

There are two games tonight: Lakers vs. Thunder and Heat vs. Bulls, both equally exciting.

but.

It's night time.

During the day, fans were still discussing the Knicks' massacre of the Celtics last night; the shock and impact it had on them was still fresh in their minds.

Dirk's "superhero" performance earned him a thumbs-up from fans.

Such discussions continued until noon, and continued until the NBA announced the winners of the season's various honors.

The fans' attention then shifted.

The first award announced was Coach of the Year, with Mike D'Antoni of the Knicks winning for the second consecutive year without any surprise.

The best sixth man award goes to Jason Terry of the Dallas Mavericks, and it's well-deserved.

The Most Improved Player award went to Kevin Love, the Timberwolves' "new Wolf King".

Blake Griffin, nicknamed "White Beast," who became a big fan of Su Yan and kept the ball firmly in his heart, was selected as the best rookie, beating out John Wall.

All-Rookie First Team: Cousins, Fields, Griffin, Gary Neal, and Wall.

All-Rookie Second Team: Bledsoe, Favors, Paul George, Wes Lee Johnson, and Greg Monroe.

If George had been promoted to the starting lineup earlier, he would have been a strong contender for the All-Rookie First Team.

All-NBA First Team: Rose, Kobe, Su Yan, LeBron, and Howard.

All-NBA Second Team: Paul, Wade, Durant, Nowitzki, and Stoudemire.

The All-NBA Third Team consists of Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook, LaMarcus Aldridge, Zach Randolph, and Al Horford.

Su Yan's inclusion in the All-NBA First Team for the second consecutive year is undisputed.

Curry's inclusion in the All-NBA Third Team, however, prompted the entire Knicks team to celebrate for him.

For Curry, a second-year student, to receive such an honor is truly remarkable.

Curry was happy and also very fortunate to have come to the Knicks earlier, and lucky to be teammates with Su Yan.

All-Defensive First Team: Rondo, Kobe, Su Yan, Garnett, and Howard.

All-Defensive Second Team: Paul, Tony Allen, LeBron James, Noah, and Tyson.

Su Yan's decision to defend is also reasonable.

However, the addition of Tony Allen and Tyson means the Knicks now have three players on the all-time defensive list.

This news immediately sparked a huge and heated discussion!
