Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 428 solidifies his title as King of Europe
Until the very last moment of the game, Nowitzki, who had been suppressing his emotions throughout the entire match, finally showed some expression on his face.

Whether intentionally or not, he pounded his chest with his fists, just like Garnett, and roared at the silent stands.

With his brown curly hair, he looked like a lion.

No one responded.

Not only were the Minnesota fans stunned, but the Wolves players were also stunned.

Garnett stood there blankly, staring like a statue at Nowitzki, who was surrounded by Mavericks players in the distance.

He believed he had defended to the best of his ability on the last play.

But Nowitzki made the shot.

Eddie Griffin, on the other hand, looked utterly terrified.

In the final moments, his movement gave Nowitzki a chance to run out and receive the ball.

In other words, a game that you've worked so hard for can be ruined because of your own actions.

Sanders stood motionless on the sidelines.

In just over a minute, he went three out of three, scoring seven points in a row. Is he even human?

Even the most cold-blooded and big-hearted player wouldn't find it that easy to do.

He scored 53 points, almost half of the team's total.

Sanders bit his lip. To put it bluntly, today's Wolves team lost to Nowitzki alone.

Meanwhile, as this game was ending, two thousand kilometers away in Phoenix, the game between the Suns and the Kings was also coming to a close.

Unlike in New York and Los Angeles, you can't see a lot of celebrities and stars courtside at the American West Arena.

Tangsen and the Suns' owner sat in the front row watching the game.

Amidst the roaring cheers, Tang Sen felt his phone vibrate.

He took it out and saw that it was a message from his assistant, Moore.

"Boss, you guessed right, the little bull won, it's unbelievable."

Tangsen asked Moore to keep an eye on the Mavericks vs. Wolves game.

Especially Nowitzki, if Nowitzki leads the team to victory and performs well, he should tell me.

Tang Sen replied to his message, asking him how he won.

Moore immediately messaged: "Wolves led until the end, with a little over a minute left, Wolves were still leading by 4 points."

"Nowitzki made all three of his shots, including a three-pointer, scoring seven straight points to win the game in a dramatic comeback."

"He scored 53 points himself."

Upon seeing this message, Tang Sen was startled and exclaimed, "Wow!"

The playoffs.

Moreover, he was matched up against Garnett, who is known for his defense.

He scored 53 points, and then scored 7 consecutive points to win the game. This guy is incredibly awesome.

Before the playoffs began, Tang Sen had a feeling that the Mavericks would advance to the second round.

To be honest, neither the Wolves nor the Mavericks have particularly good rosters.

The Mavericks might offer higher salaries.

But the higher score was due to Walker and Finley.

While these two aren't exactly overpaid and incompetent, they're clearly not worth their salaries.

Their combined annual salary is 30 million, which is equivalent to that of Shaquille O'Neal, but their combined impact on the court is still less than that of Shaquille O'Neal.

But the Mavericks have Nowitzki.

This season, Tang Sen really has high hopes for Nowitzki, believing that he has truly honed his shooting skills and brought out his talent.

He has the potential to become a supermodel monster.

As for the Wolves' roster, Townsend, like Don Nelson, has always believed that Garnett's playing style is too reasonable.

With his own help, he became proficient in all kinds of skills.

But for some reason, he just doesn't have that explosive scoring ability.

His career-high single-game score was only 42 points.

On the Wolves' side, Tang Sen can assess their strength.

But for the Mavericks, because of Nowitzki's presence, Townsend couldn't see their potential.

I felt like Nowitzki was on fire, scoring 60 points was no problem for him. And just as I predicted, the Mavericks won, with Nowitzki being the key factor that changed the game.

Tang Sen thought for a moment and then replied to Moore.

Give Nowitzki a good shout-out. Even though it's only been one game, it feels like he's already cemented his title as the King of Europe.

Especially in Europe, we really need to promote this.

The reason why Nowitzki is so popular is because everyone is curious and fans are drawn to his amazing performance, which helped the team win the game.

But in other words, if they still need a last-minute comeback, it means they are not as strong as the Wolves.

In this situation, people would be curious how many more times Nowitzki could pull off such a feat.

By keeping fans interested and watching Nowitzki's comeback step by step, more people will be drawn to watch the game and it will attract more attention.

It's worth noting that if the Mavericks eliminate the Timberwolves and advance to the second round, their opponent in the second round will be the Lakers.

On the surface, it seems that the Mavericks, with Shaquille O'Neal, could easily dominate the Lakers.

But in reality, Tang Sen did have some ideas on how to deal with it.

That means getting Nowitzki back to the forward position, to the power forward position, or even the small forward position.

Then the inside players relentlessly pushed in tanks to wear down O'Neal, even resorting to the "Hack-a-Shaq" strategy.

Tang Sen thought that Nelson should be able to come up with this idea, since he was the one who invented the "Hack-a-Shaq" tactic.

I had just sent the message when gasps of surprise came from the stands behind me.

Tang Sen looked up and saw that the score had reversed again.

It's still Peja.

A three-pointer helped the Kings take a two-point lead.

But only 57 seconds remained.

D'Antoni didn't call a timeout; he stood anxiously on the sidelines with his arms crossed.

The Suns' fast break failed to materialize.

In this game, the Suns' tactics were only passable, far less fluid than in the regular season.

Adelman on the other side had clearly made some targeted arrangements.

He discovered a critical weakness in the Suns' transition offense, but it was about securing the defensive rebound.

Therefore, Webber was frequently seen rushing for rebounds in this game.

Moreover, even if Howard gets the rebound, Webber will stay behind to delay Howard and prevent him from passing the ball immediately after grabbing the rebound, thus preventing the Suns from launching a fast break.

Of course, there's also the high-level delay and the rapid return defense from the perimeter.

Adelman didn't use these tactics during the regular season.

But when the playoffs came, they immediately pulled it out, catching the Suns off guard.

D'Antoni's in-game management was really poor; he didn't make any targeted adjustments.

Peja's defense, in particular.

Tang Sen thought he could switch Marion to guard him, then put Hunter in to wear down Miller in the paint, and have Howard guard Webber.

In this way, even if it affects the fast break, at least Peja's defense won't have such a big gap.

Peja has scored 36 points so far today, making 8 of 13 three-pointers.

The Suns have a problem with his defense.

It can only be said that D'Antoni is too rigid and insists on his own way.

In this situation, the Suns were able to keep up with the Kings until the very end, and honestly, D'Antoni should really thank Howard.

If the game really falls into a positional situation, Nash's playmaking will definitely still be effective, but more often than not, it's a safer choice to let Howard take the lead in isolation plays.

After a season of training, Howard still has the mentality of a child. He was afraid of Tang Sen before the game and even played hide-and-seek with Tang Sen intentionally. But when he was on the court, he did not hold back.

So far in the game, he has 32 points, 16 rebounds, and 4 blocks; his performance is impeccable.

D'Antoni once mentioned the concept of two 7-second intervals to the media.

Now, with the attack time dragging on for almost 20 seconds, that's enough to prove a tactical failure.

The ball still ended up in Howard's hands.

Miller sat with his back to him, gave him a quick punch, and then instantly turned halfway around and hooked his arm.

Steady as a rock, they scored again.
