Chapter 724 [wisdom eyes and pearls, great potential]

The Mavericks attacked, the Clippers opened man-to-man, Nowitzki singled out Parsons on the right side of the ball, and Gao Fushuai VS the old driver.

Nowitzki feinted with the ball, brought it to a 45-degree back to protect, leaned on Parsons to turn to the middle, and "Golden Rooster Independence" made a fallback jumper.

In the same action, Nowitzki lost his dominance last season. The ball bounced out of the frame under Parsons' efforts to interfere, and Griffin grabbed the rebound.

Last season, Nowitzki was an opener. In the playoffs, he shot 50.2% from the field, 46% from three-point range, and 93.3% from the free throw line.But after the league was suspended and the start was injured, his overall shooting percentage is only 44.2% and 35% of three-pointers. He is still looking for feelings, averaging 20.8 points per game.

Nowitzki's hit rate is nothing special, just an ordinary star with average efficiency.

The Clippers attacked, Paul transported it to the frontcourt and passed it to Curry, who singled out Kidd and missed a three-point jumper. The play was very simple.

In the Mavericks positional battle, Kidd brought it to the frontcourt and passed it to West, who played a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki to break through on the right, but failed to pass Parsons by relying on speed. Not in the interference, the rebound was grabbed by Griffin.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Rockets' flank defense was always full of loopholes, and Parsons was also understood to be strong on offense and weak on defense.But now, the data confirms that Parsons' defense is far underestimated, and he doesn't have to take the blame for Harden in the Clippers.

The data shows that when Parsons came to guard the pick-and-roll ball carrier at the 4, he averaged only 0.74 points per game for the opposing player, which was far higher than the league's average defense. At the same time, he only allowed the opponent to shoot 38.2% of the shots. hit rate and was able to force opponents to a 15% turnover rate.

In addition, 31% of Parsons' defensive end is defensive pick-and-roll. He can't limit James, Durant and some other threatening small forward scorers. He is much better at defending power forwards and guards.He has the size of a power forward and the speed on the perimeter, similar to Carmelo Anthony.

Paul launched a fast break with a pass, Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, singled out Kidd, dribbled the ball behind his back and turned around.

Curry hit one of two free throws, 4-0.

The Mavericks attacked, Pau Gasol and West played a pick-and-roll in the middle, Paul chased the defense in time, and West passed the ball to the middle.

Pau Gasol didn’t make a shot after feinting against Griffin, and the ball was dropped to Dirk Nowitzki, who was in the penalty area. Si blocked the ball. 4 to 2.

If Chandler played, Dirk Nowitzki could not score so easily, but Yang Rui wanted to solve the problem with offense.

In the Clippers positional battle, Paul and Griffin played a pick-and-roll, which attracted Dirk Nowitzki's defense and gave the ball to Parsons 50 degrees on the right.

The zone defense against the Clippers was obviously not enough. There was a dislocation on the field, and Pau Gasol played against Parsons.

Pau Gasol defended more from the outside, and Parsons faltered and smashed the bottom line in one step and succeeded in getting to the basket.Prince made up the defense and returned to the basket in time, and Parsons jumped up and distributed the ball to Korver in the left corner.

Kidd was experienced and rotated to cover the bottom corner. Korver moved the ball to the left 70 degrees.

This time Curry came out empty, caught the ball and made a three-pointer, hollowed into the net. 7 to 2.

The Mavericks still have the same defensive system, but they are not as strong as last season. No matter how complete the system is, the talent for execution is the key.

Last season, the Mavericks went all the way and finally fulfilled the championship dream of the veterans.The Mavericks have Kidd in the high positions on the outside, Prince and Marion on the flanks, and Gasol on the inside.In addition, Stevenson at No. [-] has a fast defensive pace and good strength. As long as he does not encounter abnormal and accurate opponents, relying on quick rotation, the regional defense effect is very good.

Last year, the Mavericks were an absolute example of historical team defense from coach thinking to player tacit understanding.This year, the Mavericks' single defense has deteriorated, but the Clippers' offense has been upgraded to a perverted perimeter. They are definitely not opponents.

The Mavericks attacked. After the pick-and-roll, Gasol received a pass from West in the middle of the air cut. His air cut speed was too slow.

Pau Gasol leaned against Griffin with his back, turned to the right and hooked, avoiding the block but the ball missed.

He shoots 73.9% at the basket, but rarely hits the basket. Instead, he chooses high-arc throws or close-range jumpers because his low-post offense is neither flexible nor absolute power advantage.His tonnage is only useful against people, and he is one of the worst explosive players in the league.

Curry grabbed the rebound and passed it to Paul to play.

Paul went to the frontcourt to play a pick-and-roll with Griffin, and handed it to Parsons to play Gasol Jr., again dislocation.

Parsons faltered from the outside, leading Gasol Jr. out of the penalty area and the bottom line on the right.

Gasol's defensive awareness is very good, and he keeps up with a good sense of distance, but Parsons is not only able to score, he passes the ball to Griffin who cuts in the middle.Griffin catches the ball deep into the basket, hits Dirk Nowitzki hard, and hits cricket from close range. 9 to 2.

Nowitzki did not lose his position, but after Griffin jumped up, there were not many players who could interfere with him.

The Mavericks attacked, and Gasol Jr. caught the ball in the middle after the pick-and-roll. Griffin switched to defense this time, and West was far away from him. Jr. Gasol immediately made a jumper in the middle, and without hesitation, entered the net hollow. 9 to 4.

The Clippers’ offense was still the same tactic. This time Parsons moved to the left to catch the ball, Curry ran to the bottom corner on the right, and Pau Gasol stayed near the penalty area, which was a serious dislocation.

Paul scored the ball, Curry ran to the right 50 degrees to get the ball and faltered, and Gasol was forced to defend and was passed by Curry with a change of direction.

Nowitzki retreated to defend. Curry went to the basket and passed the ball from Nowitzki's waist to the middle. Griffin followed and jumped further and dunked the ball with both hands. 11 to 4.

Zhang Lili said: "The Clippers have an attacking lineup today. The players have organizational skills, three-pointers, and low post attacks. There is no shortage of big men on the Mavericks. There are loopholes everywhere."

Yu Jia said: "If the Clippers had Parsons last season, maybe the Mavericks would have been eliminated. He was too good."

A general said: "Never ignore the role of little people. Sometimes history is changed by some unknown little people." Only those who can see the eye and bet on those little people with great potential can control the future.

As long as Parsons is given a suitable system, he can stand up to a second-rate star on offense, so in Yang Rui's previous life, Nowitzki took a salary cut to help the team vacate space, and hired Parsons as a teammate with a high salary.

The Mavericks attacked, Gasol took the ball in the middle after the pick-and-roll, and Griffin defended it.Nowitzki took the ball and turned to the left to make a jumper and hit the board to score. 11 to 6.

Nowitzki's trick is also tried and tested, and no team in the league can completely prevent it.

The Clippers attacked, and the Mavericks spontaneously changed to man-to-man tactics on the field. The opponent made consecutive shots from beyond the three-point line and could no longer defend. Gasol faced Griffin.

Paul also changed his style of play, stopped passing Parsons, did not look for cover, waved Griffin into a low post to attract defense, passed the ball to Curry from close range, and ran to the right bottom corner.

Curry took the ball from the left to the middle, and faced Kidd from beyond the three-point line. Kidd couldn't defend Curry well last season, and now he is a year older, even worse.

The 39-year-old Kidd is slow to traverse, let him guard guards, and he's a defensive black hole.
