425 The owner of the Mavericks appeared at the game!
Just then, Su Hao unexpectedly did not choose to dunk.
Instead, he lightly leaped and skillfully placed the ball into the basket.
This series of movements was as natural and fluid as flowing water, without any sense of sluggishness.
The audience was so excited that cheers and shouts filled the entire stadium.
The Mavericks players looked helpless, knowing full well that their defense had failed.
Judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible to defeat the Clippers.
However, they did not want to disappoint their home fans and still gave it their all.
But now the fans in the arena are cheering and applauding the Clippers' goal, making the entire arena seem like the Clippers' home court.
This is clearly not the scenario that Mavericks owner Mark Cuban wanted to see.
At that moment, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban quietly appeared in the stands.
As the team's owner, he made a special effort to take time out of his busy schedule to come and cheer on his team.
After all, today's opponent is the defending champion - the Clippers.
For the Mavericks, this game is one they absolutely cannot give up on easily.
No matter what, they must persevere to the end. Even if they ultimately lose the game, at least it proves that they have tried their best and fought hard.
If they lost simply because the opponent was too strong, then they can accept it wholeheartedly.
There was still some time left in the game, especially since less than three minutes had passed in the third quarter.
Despite being down by a full 30 points, the Mavericks have decided to keep their key players on the court.
Just then, Su Hao made a crucial shot, and the Mavericks did not call a timeout immediately.
Instead, they advanced the ball up the court with Kidd in the lead. Facing the tight defense of substitute Warren, Kidd clearly preferred to match up against Curry.
This will make both attacking and passing much easier.
However, the Clippers certainly wouldn't give Kidd that opportunity.
After all, given Kidd's shrewd experience, he naturally wouldn't act rashly.
So he began to control the ball while patiently searching for the best time to pass.
Finally, the opportunity came to Nowitzki.
At this moment, it was Collins, who had come on as a substitute, who was defending Nowitzki.
Facing Collins' defense, Nowitzki clearly had a lot of confidence on offense.
Kidd immediately passed the ball to them.
After receiving the ball, Nowitzki jumped and shot without hesitation.
The basketball swished through the net after going over Collins' defense!
The Mavericks' bench erupted in cheers as the players celebrated the spectacular scoring moment.
However, despite Nowitzki's crucial shot, they still faced a massive deficit of nearly thirty points. Faced with such a lopsided score, one couldn't help but wonder if there was any suspense left in the game.
"The Mavericks are really tenacious! The game has progressed to this point, and they still haven't substituted their key players. Instead, they want to go head-to-head with the Clippers!" Yang Yi exclaimed in amazement.
"This is probably what they call sportsmanship! They're playing this game on their home turf, and the boss is watching in person! As the losing side, it would be unreasonable not to give it their all!" Su Qun explained with a smile.
"The Mavericks' continued efforts don't really have much practical significance; their only value lies in showing the audience and fans their tenacious spirit!" Coach Zhang analyzed.
At this moment, the atmosphere on the field became extremely tense, and every round was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
The Mavericks players were not discouraged. They kept a close eye on their opponents, played aggressive defense, and tried to find opportunities for a counterattack.
The audience was also inspired by the Mavericks' fighting spirit and stood up to cheer them on.
After their inside offense stalled, the Mavericks had to frequently attempt outside shots, but they were unable to find good openings.
Kidd brought the ball to the three-point line again, and seeing that none of his teammates had a suitable position to receive the ball, he decided to take the shot himself.
He was somewhat desperate, and facing the defender Warren, he resolutely launched a three-pointer.
However, the ball did not hit the basket, and just when everyone thought the attack had failed, the referee's whistle suddenly blew!
Everyone looked at the referee, who was making a "three" gesture, indicating that it was a three-point foul.
Kidd stared at the referee in astonishment, clearly not expecting to be given three free throw opportunities.
The audience gasped in surprise, equally astonished.
Warren, in a show of frustration, spread his arms wide to express his dissatisfaction and complaints to the referee.
Kidd took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and prepared to start the free throws.
He stood steadily at the free-throw line and gently tossed the ball up.
On the first free throw, the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and then swished through the net!
The second free throw was the same, and he made it again!
The third free throw went in as smoothly as ever!
Even though Kidd made all three of his free throws, those three points couldn't change the fact that they were down by more than twenty points. Warren, who had just been called for a foul and given three free throws, was still complaining to the referee.
He felt he had been wronged, so he wanted to express his dissatisfaction and protest in this way.
However, this is of little use, because the referee will not easily change his decision.
Seeing this, Su Hao stepped forward and pulled him away, saying, "Don't complain anymore, or you'll get another technical foul, and you'll be at a huge loss!"
This statement reminded Warren that if he continued to complain, it could lead to more problems.
After all, the referee has already made his decision, and they are currently in the lead, so there's no need for them to create more trouble for themselves.
Curry stepped forward and comforted him, saying, "That's right, we're leading by so many points now, so we don't need to worry about this. I'll get those three points back in a bit!"
Curry's words were full of confidence and determination; he believed he could help the team achieve better results.
As a starting player, Curry has always maintained a competitive spirit.
His presence gave his teammates great confidence and motivation, making them believe that as long as they united and worked together, they would definitely be able to defeat their opponents.
Nevertheless, Warren glanced at the referee with some reluctance, but ultimately chose to follow Curry's advice.
He knew that the most important thing now was to stay calm and focused, and not let his emotions affect the game.
Only in this way can we better unleash our full potential and win this match.
