Chapter 395 [Run!I can do it! 】

During the pause, commentators from many countries were comparing the old Nelson and Yang Rui.

Old Nelson is the coach with the most wins in the NBA. No one will think that he is overrated, but Yang Rui's on-the-spot response seems to be more eye-catching. As soon as the Mavericks show signs of attacking, he immediately calls a timeout to adjust, disrupting the opponent's rhythm .

Yang Rui has called seven time-outs, and only one short-term stop is left for insurance.At the end, if the score is tight and there is no dead ball, the player with the ball can call a timeout and let the coach arrange the key final attack.

Old Nelson only called for four time-outs, and usually took advantage of Yang Rui's opportunity to say a few words.The Mavericks have fewer people playing, and there are few places to adjust, mainly 8 players rotate.

"Big Bamboo Pole" Bradley only played 3 minutes, swingman Tariq played 4 minutes, and marginal center Evan Eschmeyer played 3 minutes, all of which can be ignored.

The Wizards had an 11-player rotation in this game. Except for Hamilton, the others did not play too much time, and they had an advantage in physical strength.

Yang Rui changed the lineup and replaced Alstom, Hamilton, Wallace, Marshall and Stoudemire.

Jordan and Maggette, who can attack with the ball, rested. Yang Rui emphasized running and cooperation.For the Wizards, the key ball one-on-one is the last resort. Jordan's 42% shooting rate is not suitable for individual heroism.

As for the reuse of Alston, it is because the "Street Ball King" has the strongest organizational ability among the three point guards, is good at controlling the ball, and is not prone to mistakes.

The five Mavericks are Nash, Finley, Walter, Nowitzki, and LaFrentz.They can all shoot, maximize space, and help stars create heads-up opportunities.

Yang Rui talked to Wallace alone and instructed: "When defending Dirk Nowitzki, you must fight close to yourself, use your strength to disrupt his shooting rhythm, don't think about blocking shots, try your best to block your eyes to interfere. You are the best in our team. Good defender, I'm sure you can limit him."

"Yes!" Wallace responded loudly.

Before the Wizards were mainly attacking, when Najera and Adrian came on, they double-teamed Nowitzki and Nash.Now that the opponent is not on the blue collar, they must strengthen their single defense.Yang Rui expected that the Mavericks might make such a move, so Jordan was not allowed to play, and the zone defense was changed to a mixed defense, with three people defending the penalty area. Alston and Wallace focused on taking care of the two stars of the Mavericks.

Jordan and Wallace are not suitable to play together, can't open space, Marshall's task is to attract defense from beyond the arc.

The game started, Alston dribbled the ball over half court, organized in the middle, and Nash defended alone.

Alston's jump shot is unreliable, and Yang Rui can't arrange for him to single against Nash's defensive weakness. If he can play the key ball, Alston is not the king of streetball, but the king of the NBA.

Stoudemire gave a screen to Hamilton on the left, who moved to 70 degrees and received a pass from Alston.

LaFrentz only played more than 20 minutes per game, and his physical strength was still very strong. The ball was switched in time.Hamilton took advantage of the situation to lead to the middle, attracted the inside defense, and passed the ball to Marshall who ran from the right to the left bottom corner.

Marshall turned the ball to 45 degrees in the face of Dirk Nowitzki, and passed the ball to Stoudemire who was deep to the basket.

The tactics arranged by Yang Rui disrupted the Mavericks' defense. There were two dislocations on the field. LaFrentz moved with Hamilton, and his position was relatively wide. It was Finley who switched to Stoudemire.

Stoudemire's back play is in the face of the inside line, and he has obvious advantages in the face of Finley.He turned around with the ball, took off forcibly, and forced Finley to dunk the basketball directly with one hand.LaFrentz retreated slowly and failed to block. 119 to 118.

Barkley exclaimed: "Beautiful! Stoudamire deserves to be the best rookie this year. This is what the core should do. As long as he works hard, I don't think he will be worse than me in the future."

Smith laughed: "But his defense wasn't good enough."

"It's more than enough to defend against La Franz." Barkley laughed.

Dirk Nowitzki and Nash played a pick-and-roll, and tried the Wizards to be a mixed defense. Marshall blocked Nash, and Alston chased and defended in place.Nash scored the ball, Finley faced Marshall, and passed out again if he couldn't break through.

Walter transferred the ball to Nowitzki's single at 45 degrees on the right side. The players pulled away. Wallace's hard top defense pushed Nowitzki away from the basket.

The height is 201CM and the defense is 213CM. It seems to be dislocated. In this case, even if the Mavericks are at home, the referee will not easily call a foul.The two played against each other in the regular season. Nowitzki knew that Wallace could not be beaten with strength. Although he was short, he was very stable in the next game.

Nowitzki leaned back and turned to the middle to make a jumper.Now his physical fitness is not bad, there are more face-frame attacks, and the "Golden Rooster Independence" fallback jumper has not been perfected.

Wallace has always been close to the body, judged accurately, and followed the takeoff to interfere.His bullet speed is very fast, but his height is limited, so he can't seal his eyes.

Nowitzki did not grasp the strength of the ball, and the ball missed.Stoudamire grabbed the backcourt rebound and held it in his arms, waiting for Alstom to respond.

In the Wizards' positional battle, Alston slowly passed the half court, guarded the ball and waited for his teammates to move, and then passed Hamilton.The Mavericks changed their zone defense, and Finley guarded Hamilton on the left, who took a step and passed the ball to Marshall on the right.

Walter defends Marshall, and he doesn't suffer in size.Marshall found a dislocation opportunity and passed it to Wallace in the bottom corner on the right. The person on the side of the defense was LaFrentz, who put two steps away, preventing breakthroughs but not throwing.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Wallace in the king's time, faced with this situation, he could only break through with the ball, or pass the ball to find his teammates.When he came to the Wizards, Wallace had been practicing the three-pointer from the right corner under the guidance of assistant coach Jeff Hornacek.

In the regular season, Wallace made 17 three-pointers, and Yang Rui entrusted him with a heavy responsibility at a critical moment, enhancing his confidence.

He chanted "I can do it" in his heart, and made a resolute jumper from the bottom corner.LaFrentz saved it too late to defend, and could only reach out to interfere slightly. The arc of the ball was not high, but it was very positive and scored! 122 to 118.

Everyone in the Mavericks was hit, especially Old Nelson. It was his arrangement for LaFrentz to shrink closer to the basket. After seeing Marshall’s bottom line catch the ball, he saved it, but Wallace, who had an inconspicuous offensive end, gave them pain. one strike.

The Mavericks attacked, and Nowitzki singled out Wallace again.This time, he turned to the middle and did not immediately take a jump shot. Instead, he took the ball with both hands to make a fake shot.

Nowitzki often uses this move to sway opponents, whether it is taking the ball to find physical contact to make a foul, or taking a step forward and throwing, it is a good choice.

Wallace's prediction was very accurate this time. Nowitzki cut the ball with a slap before he raised it. He stabbed the ball forward and quickly started to pick up the basketball and make a fast break.

Alston also responded quickly, with a fast break from the right, and Wallace passed it.

Alston took the ball and took a step to the right. He dribbled the ball with his right hand behind his back and moved the left hand to the left to distance himself from Nash. He paused slightly, held the ball in his left hand and moved his right hand closer.

Alston seemed to be about to make an emergency stop and jump shot. Nash hurriedly moved laterally and raised his right hand to interfere with the shot. Unexpectedly, he resorted to the "Bai Buddha" fake action on the street court. The left hand shot the ball to the right, and he completely missed a step. Nash, pulled the ball and made a three-step layup.

124 to 118.The Wizards went from one point behind to six points ahead, and Nelson was forced to call a timeout!
