I just want to play healthy basketball

Chapter 260 Avoiding the Real and Hitting the False, Bullying Nash
Maybe it's been too long since I haven't slept in the locker room during the halftime break, or maybe I played too comfortably in the playoffs this year.

Obviously He Li had already set the alarm clock, but he was finally woken up by the Bucks staff.

After waking up, it took some time to clear my mind and warm up before playing.

By the time He Li returned to the stage of the finals, half of the third quarter had already been played.

82 to 77. In the absence of He Li, although the Bucks were chased by some points, they were still in the lead.

The main reason why the Mavericks can chase points is not that He Li is not there. The Bucks have no backbone, and the other Bucks players don't know how to play.

It's not that the Three Musketeers didn't perform well, it's simply because of the home whistle.

The Bucks played very uncomfortable here, and every time they wanted to get up, the whistle blew.

Usually in a game, the number of free throws for a team is mostly between 20 and 30.

However, in this game, the Mavericks had already won 9 free throw opportunities in the first half of the third quarter.

Intuitively described by the number of offensive rounds and free throws, that is, the Mavericks also won nearly half of the offensive rounds in the third quarter.

This is extremely rare in usual times.

However, having said that, if the Mavericks hadn't had so many free throw opportunities, He Li would have returned to the court now, and the third quarter might have been almost over.

"He Li played again, and it seems that there is no injury.

During the period of He Li's absence, the Mavericks did recover some points, but they have not completely smoothed the points.

This is really bad news for the Mavericks. "

"Let us look forward to Dirk Nowitzki's performance! Believe Dirk, he will not let us down."

The Mavericks are only 5 points behind the Bucks. If the game goes well, it will only take two rounds.

After all, the Mavericks still had the upper hand in the third quarter. It didn't make sense that once He Li came back, the Mavericks didn't dare to fight anymore and just surrendered.

It's a joke, it's already G3 of the finals, and the first two games have been completely lost. How could the Mavericks take the initiative to admit defeat.

"Win, today's game must be won."

The attitude of the Mavericks is very clear, that is, to win this game.

In fact, He Li's return to the court did not affect the performance of the Mavericks.

Nash used Nowitzki's pick-and-roll to go to the basket to challenge Kwame Brown. Because of the home whistle, the young Kwame Brown did not do a good job in controlling fouls, and he had already committed four fouls at this time.

George Karl did not replace Kwame Brown in advance, mainly because the third quarter was mainly about running and bombing, and it was not appropriate to replace Ewing with old arms and legs.

So I just reminded Kwame Brown to be a little more careful, and continued to keep Kwame Brown on the court.

The idea of ​​​​the Mavericks is to cut Kwame Brown to five offenses first, so that he will end.

After the Bucks lack Kwame Brown inside, Boozer alone will definitely not be able to prevent the impact of Finley and Nowitzki.

"Steve Nash scored a layup, and the Mavericks narrowed the gap to only 3 points!"

Kwame Brown was careful around the rim, but still suffered from his inexperience.

Nash went to the basket to look back at the moon, and Kwame Brown moved laterally in the direction of Nowitzki.

I don't want Nash to jump low for a layup, bypass Kwame Brown by a large margin, and score this goal.

Now there is no no handcheck rule. It is not so easy for Nash to make a breakthrough outside the three-point game and speed up to pass Cassel in one step.

So even if Nash reached the three-second zone by relying on pass threat and breakthrough rhythm, the breakthrough speed was not as fast as the regular season MVP level in the peak season.

To put it bluntly, no handcheck is for the rise of the new king of the 03 generation after Jordan retired.

No one expected that the first to taste the sweetness was Nash of the 96 golden generation.

An experienced inside defensive player, facing the not-so-fast Nash, is still in a low-handed layup posture, standing still under the basket, stretching out his hand at the right time, and blocking the shot.

Inexperienced by Nash, or worried about Nash's passing ability, distracting his attention to other players, then Nash will perform, "It's too late to say, Nash is fast", a super-coordinated low-handed layup with the same hands and feet.

Closer to home, Nash scored a layup, and the audience burst into cheers like a tsunami.

The Mavericks players on the court also looked proud and proud.

Even though he was sweating profusely and sweating profusely, he all revealed a confident and energetic state.

However, before the Mavericks could be happy for too long, the Bucks immediately started running in the next round.

After so many games, the Mavericks are also alert, returning to defense quickly, and the overall defense is quite in place.

However, the Bucks failed to achieve a quick transition, but they still used the pick-and-roll to quickly complete the shot.

"He Li used the alien Cassel's pick-and-roll to switch to Steve Nash!

Michael Finley chose to give up his original defender and directly double-team He Li.

He Li completed the shot under the double-team of Steve Nash and Michael Finley, and hit a three-pointer! "

"85 to 79, this is the response from He Li! After He Li played, the difference between the two teams widened again!"

Playing a game is to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses, to avoid reality and defeat weakness.

During He Li's absence, the Mavericks continued to break through and hit the basket, bullying Kwame Brown and Boozer who were inexperienced in the playoffs.

After He Li came back, he used the pick-and-roll to switch to Nash, and used Nash's defensive loophole to penetrate the Mavericks outside. Why not?
It's not that He Li has never seen James play, that's how smart people play.

In the playoffs, it doesn't have to be like Jordan, facing two or three people double-teaming to complete layups, or mid-range shots.

With the help of the pick-and-roll to bully the hostile defensive black hole, scoring 30+ and 40+ will still be the actual combat honor that fans talk about.

Last year, He Li watched 40+ in the finals, and he still had to face Kobe and O'Neal to score.

It's not that difficult to win the championship this year.

He Li knew a long time ago that the Mavericks are not that strong, at least not that strong in his opinion, at least there are still loopholes that can be exploited, and they can be defeated by breaking the surface.

The Mavericks do not have a complete defensive system. Nash has indeed contributed a lot to the Mavericks' offensive end when he is on the court.

But when the Mavericks need someone to defend on the outside, Nash tends to be the one who drags them down.

Even if He Li uses the pick-and-roll to switch to Nash, he will still be double-teamed. He Li can ignore Nash first and pay attention to the defense of another wing defender.

When double teams become "singles", as FMVP, He Li said that he can act as aggressive as Kobe: "I have a lot of room to shoot."

"Respond to the ball, respond again! Unbelievable, He Li scored 9 points in the form of pure points, 6 of 15 shots in the half quarter!"

"107 to 94, the Mavericks are not unable to score, but the immediate problem is obviously how to limit He Li's scoring!"

He Li, who has returned, is full of vitality, and he fires infinitely after playing.

Although the Mavericks have attached great importance to He Li, the old Nelson is hesitant about whether to replace Nash. In the end, He Li only shoots from the outside, and he bombards him indiscriminately.

As the on-site commentary suggested, the current Mavericks can't just compete with the Bucks on offense. If the Mavericks want to win the finals, they need to work harder on the defensive end.

After all, defense wins championships.

He Li's return not only makes the Bucks' offense easier and more efficient, but with the support of abundant physical strength, He Li's inside defense is also doing quite well.

After He Li's return, the Bucks' overall offense and defense have improved by more than one level.

On the other hand, the Mavericks, although the offensive end can still be opened, but the efficiency has dropped slightly.Not to mention the perimeter defense, it is useless under He Li's offense.

After the third quarter, the point difference was 13, which put a lot of pressure on the Mavericks.

Based on He Li's state in the first half of the quarter, it is obvious that He Li wants to score more than ten points in the fourth quarter, so that should be no problem.

Can anyone on Mavericks have such energy and ability?

"This is fmvp, it's normal! He is our current team, and no one has reached a height yet!"

"What we need to look out for is ourselves, we need to stay focused, attack better, defend better."

"I believe you can do it. Do everything and leave no regrets!

Let the defending champions take a look, we also have the strength of the championship!

I believe that after this battle, we will also have fmvp level players to stand up! "

Old Nelson encouraged the three of Nowitzki off the court, hoping that some of them would burst out suddenly and stand up to help the team win the game.

Today's He Li is indeed in good condition, but he is fmvp, so it is not surprising to have such a performance.

If the Mavericks want to win this game, this round of finals, they need a player like He Li, or a player close to He Li's level of strength to stand up.

Old Nelson believes in the strength of the Mavericks' Three Musketeers, and also believes that they have such potential.

They have not yet reached the level he expected, and they still lack a stage to show their full strength.

And what stage is more suitable than the finals?

After experiencing the baptism of the finals, the real superstars will be washed out of their lead, extraordinary and refined, and become one of the best superstars in the league.

"Dirk, is that you?" Old Nelson was looking forward to it. In Old Nelson's view, Nowitzki was the player with the greatest potential among the three.

If anyone among the three will stand up, Nelson Sr. believes that person will be Nowitzki.
