Chapter 396 [A good start on the road, the lineup is underestimated]

At the end of the timeout, the Mavericks Dirk Nowitzki, Walter, Nash, and Van Exel pulled out of the perimeter, and Finley attacked with the ball.

Old Nelson's idea is to ensure the peripheral firepower in the positional battle, let Finley go one-on-one, attracting the double team and splitting out is an opportunity.The opponent does not double-team, Finley has the advantage in singles.On the defensive end, the Mavericks used zone defense to make up for the lack of height. The main defense was to break through. Nowitzki protected the backcourt rebounds and immediately launched a counterattack.

Yang Rui also changed his formation. The Mavericks stormed the basket and made two-point shots to kill the Wizards. Yang Rui did not arrange for double teams, it was man-to-man.He guessed that the Mavericks would shoot three-pointers, and put on a lineup that was not easy to fall out of position and was good at disrupting shots.Alstom, Hamilton, Bell, Wallace, Marshall.

Finley singled out Bell in a low post on the right, turned his back and shot missed, and Wallace protected the rebound.

Alston dribbled the ball steadily through half court, facing Nash's delay, the Wizards ran out of 24 seconds, Hamilton missed a shot at the buzzer, and Nowitzki grabbed a backcourt rebound.

The Mavericks played the pick-and-roll, Nash broke through and passed Wallace, and attracted Marshall to make up the ball to the outside. Walter made a three-pointer from a 50-degree gap on the right, but he still didn't score.

Veteran Walter Williams is a seasoned veteran who has played 11 seasons in the NBA and has shot over 33 percent from three in three seasons.However, experience does not mean a big heart. Walter is due to injury and it is time to retire at the age of 37.4. His state has seriously declined. The three-point shooting rate in the regular season is only 34.1%, and it has dropped to [-]% in the playoffs.

It was a helpless move for Nelson to reuse Walter at a critical moment. LaFrentz's three-pointer was even worse, and his pick-and-roll defense was poor.Even if there is no pick-and-roll, Marshall runs up, and LaFrentz struggles to chase and defend.

Wizards' positional battle, Alston became the bitter master of the Mavericks. He played very little time today and played as soon as he played.Even top defensive players are difficult to steal him, and Nash, who is not good at defense, can only let him kill time.

The game still has 1 minute to end, and the foul tactics are adopted too early, which makes the Mavericks players uncomfortable and tends to generate impatience.

In the last six seconds, Alston passed the ball to the right 70 degrees, Marshall took the ball to attract Finley's defense, and scored the ball to Wallace on the bottom line.

Under the zone defense system, Wallace got the opportunity to single-handedly challenge Nowitzki. After feinting, he changed the direction of the ball to 45 degrees with his left hand and slapped the ball with his right hand. He quickly dribbled the ball from his back to his left hand, and at the same time made a step-back jumper with his left foot.

This is the smoothest set of fake moves that Wallace has done on the offensive end. It fully utilizes the advantages of speed and agility, and successfully shakes off Nowitzki. He has a good sense of rhythm in his shots. Enter! 126 to 118.

The home fans had been booing the Wizards players, and they were collectively "muted" when the ball hit.All fans are not optimistic about the reversal of the Mavericks, unless the perimeter even three points.

Smith was surprised: "Before the game, countless people were optimistic about the Mavericks winning the championship, but they were about to lose in the first game. Blue-collar striker Wallace actually scored 5 points at a critical moment. I thought he came up to defend. "

Barkley laughed: "Jerry Young should have sent him to defend. I didn't expect his hand to be so smooth today. Wallace himself was happy when he came back to defend."

The Mavericks attacked, and Nowitzki made an 80-degree jumper on the right and grabbed one.Wallace couldn't cover it, but Nowitzki cast too quickly, he didn't have a good handle, and struck the iron again.

This Wallace was destined to be a hero, and Nowitzki was unfortunately in the background.

The Wizards strengthened their defense at the last moment, which was aimed at the weakness of Nowitzki's mentality.It was not until 2011 that he finally proved himself. Before that, he had been tepid and often dropped the chain at critical moments.If there is no champion in 2011, I am afraid that he will be called a soft egg for life.

The Mavericks used full-court pressing. After receiving the ball, Alston used the width of the court to deftly avoid steals and wasted time.Nash had to use foul tactics.

Alston made two free throws to seal the victory. 128 to 118.

On the next attack, Finley finally made a three-pointer before it was too late.The Mavericks gave up the foul tactics, and the final score was 128 to 121. The Wizards got a good start on the road.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the Mavericks players all had a dull expression and couldn't believe it was true.

Smith said: "The Mavericks played their due offense, but the Wizards' offense was better. In the last period, the Wizards' defense was not bad."

Buckley's tone was a little sour. "Michael is likely to win the championship and retire, and the Wizards have gained home-court advantage."

If he wants a championship ring, Barkley is hopeless in this life, unless he quits his job as a commentator and goes to a strong team to be an assistant coach first, but his character is obviously not suitable for coaching, and it is meaningless, even Not even holding a thigh.

奇才得分最多的是斯塔达迈尔，砍下26分11篮板1助攻1抢断2盖帽。

Followed by Hamilton, 22 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, of which 5 assists were given to Stoudemire.

Jordan scored 14 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. The data was average and his performance was quite satisfactory.

The Wizards team scored in double figures with seven players, and the offensive end bloomed more.Gerald - Wallace scored 11 points and 4 rebounds, and the final 5 points were priceless.

On the Mavericks side, Nowitzki scored 34 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, Nash and Finley also scored 20+, Van Exel 16 points, and no one else scored in double figures.

CCTV5 reasonable evaluation: "The Mavericks lost this game to the role players. Except for a few stars, the others could hardly score. The Wizards' backups are too strong, even Alston, who has played for a short time, has Played well, and when Jordan came off the floor, he did his playmaking."

Xu Jicheng said: "If the Wizards win the championship this year, Yang Rui will undoubtedly become the best active coach in the NBA. The opponent he defeated is Nelson, who has also won the championship three times. Nelson did not lead the team to win the championship. Yang Rui To win the championship again is to lead the team to three championships as the head coach, and the honor is a complete victory over this old coach.”

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "The Mavericks have three All-Stars, and the salary is much higher than the Wizards. Except for miracles, I can't think of any words to describe this series."

At the press conference, the old Nelson thought of how to describe the Wizards.

"I think the Wizards' roster has always been underrated. They have the best swing man in the league, a great [-]-point shooter, a spacer inside, great rebound control, and no lack of playoff experience. Jordan, Marshall, Wesley and others are great. Laettner didn't even play, so you know how strong this team is."

Old Nelson likes to train new people. Nowitzki and Nash are all brought out by him, and his vision is very accurate.

After seeing the performance of the Wizards rookie this season, he is a little envious.Although Nowitzki has a better shooting feel, he is lacking in attacking. Stoudamire has more potential and talent.

The reporter asked: "The Mavericks lost their home-court advantage, will it have any impact on your plan?"

"There must be an impact, but losing a game is not the end of the world. The Mavericks have a very high away win rate. I will try my best to use the players' strengths to win the next game." Old Nelson replied.

In fact, after this game, old Nelson has no bottom in his heart. The styles of the two teams compete with each other, and home field advantage is very important!
