According to reports from Beijing time on June 13, Game 6 of the 2011 NBA Finals was played at the AmericanAirlines Center in Miami. The Mavericks secured a decisive victory away from home, winning 105-95 over the Heat, and ultimately defeated them 4-2 in the series to win their first championship title in team history. In this game, Nowitzki was in poor form, but the Mavericks’ bench players, led by Terry, made a significant contribution by destroying the Heat’s hopes of dragging the series into a seventh game; they also avenged their loss of the championship in 2006. Nowitzki was named the MVP of the finals. 　　The specific scores for the four quarters between the two teams were (Mavericks first): 32-27 ； 21-24 ； 28-21 and 24-23. Novitzki scored 21 points and grabbed 11 rebounds on 9 attempts out of 27 throughout the game, while Terry contributed 27 points as a substitute.

The adjustments made by the Heat at the start of the game quickly paid off: Channing Frye provided consecutive assists to LeBron James, helping the Emperor find their offensive rhythm and score 5 points in a row. Maverick Marion took on the role of main scorer, combining shots with free throws; after Barea’s three-pointer gave the Mavericks their first lead of the game, the hot-handed Emperor hit several consecutive three-pointers, helping the Heat launch a 10-2 scoring run that put them 7 points ahead of the Mavericks. Just 4 minutes into the first quarter, James scored 9 points by making 4 out of 4 shots. Soon after, Novitzki scored the first point of the game with a jump shot, but the Thunder quickly committed their second foul and was forced to take a break. Terry, who came in as a substitute, was in excellent form and scored 5 points in a row to help the Mavericks launch an 8-0 run and take back the lead. From then on, the Mavericks played more and more smoothly; Stevenson stole the ball and scored a three-point shot, giving the Mavericks a 32-27 lead over the Heat at the end of the first quarter. 　　Terry stood out in the conflicts on the court. In the second quarter, Mavericks’ bench player Maxim was exceptional – his difficult jump shots and relentless efforts helped the Mavericks get through the early difficulties. Following Stevenson’s consecutive three-pointers, the Mavericks scored an 8-1 run to extend their lead to 40-28. After the Heat’s timeout, House hit a three-point shot from range; King Kobe remained underperforming, scoring only 1 point in his first 7 attempts. The Heat took advantage of this to launch a 14-0 run, turning the score around to 42-40. At that moment, physical confrontations broke out between the players, causing chaos; Heat players Hayeslem and Charnoz, as well as Mavericks player Stevenson, were all issued technical fouls. At 3 minutes and 56 seconds into this period, James broke through and scored after a long period of silence, but Terry immediately entered a furious mode, hitting 3 shots in a row to score 8 points and help the Mavericks take the lead back. The Emperor failed to score twice, and King Luo also performed poorly; at the end of the first half, the Mavericks led the Heat 53-51. Terry scored the highest score of the game with 19 points, while King No.1 managed only 3 points after attempting 12 shots and hitting just 1. 　　King Kobe helps the Mavericks widen their lead; in the third quarter, King Kobe scored with a jump shot right at the start, but the Heat quickly took the lead back by 1 point thanks to Charnoz’s three-point shot and Bosh’s two-point shot. Barea and Chandler launched consecutive attacks in the paint, Novak hit a jump shot, and the Mavericks scored an 8-0 run to once again widen the lead to 7 points. Bosh scored 4 points in a row to help the Heat narrow the gap, and Barea then hit two free throws and caused an offensive foul on the Emperor, followed by an assist that enabled Kidd to score a three-point shot to stop the Heat’s comeback. At 5 minutes and 7 seconds of this quarter, Kobe scored from three points; Wade was dissatisfied with the call regarding a technical foul, and the Mavericks’ lead expanded to 7 points once again. After the Heat’s timeout, Hayeslem scored 4 points in a row, with Terry responding with a three-point shot, and the two teams gradually entered a stalemate. Before the end of this quarter, Kidd scored another three-point shot, and Massimini hit a last-second two-point shot, helping the Mavericks take a 81-72 lead into the final quarter. 　　Tianguo scored 10 points alone to lift the championship trophy. Less than a minute into the fourth quarter, Wade broke through Tianguo’s defense and nearly achieved a 2+1 situation; the Heat then rallied to regain 5 points in a row. However, Barea’s three-point jump shot, along with Terry hitting one of two free throws, put an end to the Heat’s comeback attempt. After the Heat’s timeout, Terry scored first with a jump shot; Wade made a mistake and the Emperor’s jump shot missed, while Barea scored inside to increase the lead to 12 points. After that, the scores for both teams alternated, and with half of this quarter remaining, Bosh scored a three-point shot that helped the Heat bring their score to 87-94. At critical moments, the Heat made continuous mistakes, while King Kobe hit consecutive jump shots, helping the Mavericks take a double-digit lead on two occasions. With 1 minute and 54 seconds left, Terry hit a jump shot, and James responded with a three-point shot, but the Heat were too late to turn the situation around. In the final quarter, Nowitzki scored 10 points on his own, demonstrating his skill as a clutch performer in the last moments of the game, and helped the Mavericks win the championship. 　　Rockets starting lineup: Jason Kidd, Barea, Marion, Dirk Nowitzki, Tyson Chandler ； 　　Heat starting lineup: Chalmers, Wade, James, Chris Bosh, Joel Anthony.
