But the Dallas media dare not slack off because every step of the Mavericks was on the edge of a cliff, and until they were completely safe, the hearts of the Dallas media could only keep dangling.
They didn't have to worry for too long.
Two days later, the competition between the Mavericks and Warriors moved to Golden State.
The heart of the Dallas media finally died!
In Game 6 of the series, the Warriors defeated the Mavericks 111-86 at their home court.
Nowitzki completely fell into the abyss in this game, scoring only 8 points on 2 out of 13 shooting.
Bill Walton commented, "Donnie cultivated Dirk Nowitzki, and now, he has personally killed him!"
After the game, Dirk Nowitzki was met with "endless mockery."
Nowitzki's poor performance in the series, along with the Dallas media's constant hype for beating Su Wan and raising him up as this season's regular season MVP, led to a backlash that swallowed him whole.
