Chapter 317: Chapter 183 June 9th, the weather is clear, Su Wan killed that group of Dallas people!_2

Commentators who look down on so-called "technical style international players" went straight to the point, "This is a common problem among European players; they often have great technique, but they are afraid to utilize their bodies. Paul Gasol is like this, and Dirk Nowitzki too. In the last three games of the finals, Dirk’s performance was no different from a softie. When your team needs you to constantly attack the inside, you must do it. But he didn’t!"

The one who was criticized most harshly was naturally the team leader, Nowitzki.

After all, the Dallas media had been defending Nowitzki before, arguing that he should have been the regular-season MVP, calling Su Wan a thief, but now... You Dallas folks call this guy regular-season MVP and Su Wan a regular-season MVP thief?

It’s utterly absurd!

Barkley, who considered himself Su Wan’s biggest fan, boldly posted on Facebook before the start of game five of the series, knowing full well that Su Wan never went easy in battles that determined the life and death of others:

"I believe the series will end with the fifth game of the finals!"

"Su Wan will lift the Championship Trophy in front of the Dallas people, as well as the finals MVP Trophy!"

"For all of Dallas, this will be the darkest day!"

But not long after this Facebook post went live, a massive wave of Indiana fans quickly arrived at the scene:

"Delete it, Charles, delete your comments immediately!"

"Don’t you remember what Su Wan told you? Shut up, Charles!"

"Don’t talk, okay? We all know you’re a fan of Su Wan, but could you please not talk?"

...

As Barkley’s predictions on Facebook had been repeatedly contradicted by reality, many fans witnessed his "curse" firsthand. Seeing him prematurely congratulate the Pacers on defeating the Mavericks sent alarm bells ringing through the heads of the entire Pacers’ fanbase.

Tonight, a tough battle awaited the Pacers!

Murphy’s Law, what you fear will come to pass, had indeed come true...

Game 5 of the series continued at the Mavericks’ home court, where the Mavericks’ fans, trailing with a big score of 1-3, have now accepted reality and no longer dreamt of the grand reverse-sweep of winning three consecutive games.

Such a miracle had never occurred in the history of the NBA finals.

But at least, they had to defend this home court!

Even if it meant winning the Championship Trophy, they hoped the Pacers would roll back to Indiana to celebrate.

The Mavericks’ expressions were different than before, with a touch more tension, but even more seriousness—they had seen what the Dallas media and fans were saying.

Although they did not believe that they were out of hope.

But a game is played one at a time, now their goal was the same as that of the Mavericks’ fans: first win this home game, change the big score to 2-3 and then go from there.

Whether it was the awakening of a strong desire to survive or the most attractive trait of the "shooting group" showing, the Mavericks’ shooting erupted tonight.

Right off the bat, Nowitzki elegantly sunk a three-point shot, opening a promising start to this extraordinary night.

Then Jason Terry and others took turns to power up.

Just in the first quarter, the Mavericks had hit seven three-point shots.

The Pacers entered the second quarter with a nine-point deficit.

The Mavericks’ form was still exaggerated, this time it was Josh Howard. With Dior’s hand almost poking his eyes out, he continuously hit mid-range shots, scoring 11 points in the quarter alone, and helping the team lead by 13 points after the half!

The atmosphere on the court was fervent, following the full-force attack by the Mavericks in the first half.

When Su Wan returned to the court in the second half, he once again heard the racially discriminatory curses from the Dallas crowd.

This time it wasn’t just aimed at him alone, but the entire Indiana.

Winning two games in Dallas had disgusted these folks who prided themselves as "cowboys." The media’s constant attacks on Nowitzki and Dallas only added fuel to their longing for revenge.

As for why they were so eager...

The reason was simple!

Because they were well aware, after this village, there’ll be no more shops.

The explosive form Dallas showed tonight was rare compared to past games, even rarer than their first victory. They had to seize this fleeting opportunity to vent all the resentment in their hearts.

No matter if the Championship Trophy ends up with the Mavericks, at least for tonight, with the current trend, they could leave American Airlines Arena with smiles on their faces.

The worst-case scenario for the next game is just not watching, since it’s no longer at the Mavericks’ home court...

Their insulting words made the Pacers’ defense even more fierce, leaving absolutely no chances for shooting.

Nowitzki and Jason Terry could only keep attacking the inside, making them apprehensive.

To say their form tonight was pretty good would be an understatement.

Especially Nowitzki.

He was not only firing from the outside; even when facing the basket, almost falling down, he could still get the ball through the hoop.

That form was simply...

But no matter how he attacked the basket, today the Pacers were very determined in implementing their close-quarters combative defense strategy.

By the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks had pulled away a bit more, extending the difference to 15 points.

Rick Carlisle, however, was not worried, but rather felt that the chances of winning had greatly increased tonight.
