From today on is the king

Chapter 846. 845. The correct posture for fighting big
The Mavericks' simple and rough style of play, relying on the strong singles ability of almost all players, is quite powerful.

The biggest advantage of this style of play is that it is simple, leaving the opponent with only two choices, or be beaten one-on-one. The Mavericks with a group of top singles players are too strong in singles.

Otherwise, it is double-teaming, and then the ball is thrown to death.

Although the Mavericks averaged the lowest assists per game in the league, Michael Finley averaged 4.4 assists per game and Nowitzki averaged 3.5 assists per game after losing Nash.

Playing against the Mavericks, you really can only use violence to control violence, relying on scoring to win, playing against a team like the Mavericks, playing team offense, it seems that it is not easy to use!

Coach Kruger made this very clear after playing the team offense for half a quarter.

In order to beat the Mavericks, it is very important to improve the efficiency of single defense. Coach Kruger has studied the Lakers' upset defeat of the Mavericks. Among them, the Lakers did the best defensively by using Odom to restrain Nowitzki.
Coach Kruger replaced Rasheed Wallace with Josh Smith, and used Josh Smith, who is similar in physical fitness to Odom, to guard Nowitzki.

The defensive end has been adjusted, and the other four coaches Kruger do not plan to change. The outside trio is the team's best defense. Kwame Brown's rebounds skyrocketed. The team can compete with Dampier on the inside. Only Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace, but Rasheed Wallace can't rebound. He averaged 9.9 rebounds per game when he returned to China and was unable to play in the NBA.

The defensive end has been adjusted, but to win, you must first ensure your own success rate. Team offense is a good choice, but the Mavericks are characterized by strong team defense and fast defensive rotation, but single defense is not so strong.

Playing team offense with the Mavericks feels a bit like chasing the end, and you don’t have to be so rigid when dealing with different types of teams. This is the biggest advantage of the cooperation between coach Kruger and Liu Mang for more than three years.

After the plan was made, coach Kruger arranged the singles tactics, waved his hand, and four players entered the court.

……

It's such a tacit understanding, even if coach Kruger doesn't arrange singles tactics, Liu Mang is ready to start singles after he comes up.

What kind of team offense is needed to play against the Mavericks? Liu Mang is very sure about this matter. He didn’t see the Suns’ team offense so strong that they were beaten by the Mavericks in the playoffs... Liu Mang thought that no one else could see it...

After the official timeout came back, the Eagles replaced Rasheed Wallace with Josh Smith, and there were no substitutions in other positions, and the Mavericks did not make any substitutions. Johnson and Popovich are in the same line. Popovich used Duncan to his death, and General Johnson used Nowitzki to his death.

After receiving the serve, Liu Mang passed it to McGrady, then ran to the frontcourt by himself, came to a 45-degree angle on the left side of the basket, and leaned against Harris to ask for the ball.

Stop playing tactics?
The Mavericks did not expect the Eagles to change so much. From a high-speed team attack to a singles attack in a fixed position, they played really boldly!
Harris was pressed behind by Liu Mang, and wanted to go around, but found that Liu Mang's legs seemed to be rooted in the ground, completely motionless!
Originally, Liu Mang's weight was considered good among point guards. With the natural increase in weight brought about by strength training and age, he has already weighed 90 kilograms this season, and his strength rating is also 80. Compared with Harris, who has a strength rating of 84 kilograms and a strength rating of 75, he can be called a heavyweight point guard.

Coupled with the iron foot skills that are close to the second level, which is close to a small success, it is too difficult for Harris to push Liu Mang who is standing still, let alone can't get started.

McGrady lobbed the ball to Liu Mang, Liu Mang received the ball, turned his body sideways, and slammed into Harris.

Harris couldn't bear it at all, and was pushed back a step.

Liu Mang turned around and faced the basket completely. After taking a step forward with his right foot, he retreated with his left foot and threw the ball in the air.

The movement this time is extremely smooth, just like the few times I tested it during the official pause!
Liu Mang's outstretched right foot hindered Harris' attempt to pounce, and Liu Mang hit a jumper with a backward jumper!

Seeing Liu Mang's singles action, the fans at the scene began to exclaim, and then wildly booed.

This action is too provocative!

Actually learn the shooting moves of the opponent's superstar!
Liu Mang used the golden rooster at the beginning of the game, but that move was completely different. Even Nowitzki couldn't tell that it was his shooting action. Let alone the fans, that attack was only regarded as a problem with Liu Mang's shot selection.

But this time everyone saw it!
In the first half of the quarter, Liu Mang discovered a problem. His face-to-face singles mainly focused on step-back jumpers and breakthroughs to create damage. He felt that he should incorporate this aspect and shoot directly with Nowitzki face-to-face. It was a bit stupid. Would it be better to add other offensive methods, such as backs or step-backs, to the Golden Rooster independent jumper?

Even if you take a step back, you have already successfully taken a step back, and you can just throw the sniper, why bother to be independent.

So I tried a high back. Liu Mang tried it out, and it was not bad, so he retreated immediately.

In fact, it's not that Liu Mang's golden rooster is so good at independent jumpers, but that Harris' defense is poor. The Mavericks have always had the worst defensive position as point guard, otherwise they would not pursue Kidd crazily in the future.

When Liu Mang observed Nowitzki's singles in the first half of the quarter, he found that the golden rooster's independent jump shot has the same meaning as the sniper. It uses unconventional moves to avoid the defense. Without the system skill bonus, it is just a choice of shooting posture. It is not so magical. The magic is Nowitzki's shooting ability!
Liu Mang's biggest achievement is that he discovered a misunderstanding of his own. Nowitzki's golden rooster independence is powerful, not because of how invincible this move is, but because of Nowitzki's other surface frame skills, which makes this move even more powerful.

The strength of the Novus Fund chicken's independent jump shot is not just the kick of the shot, but a series of abilities such as the previous three-threat stance, his breakthrough ability, shooting ability, and defensive judgment.
Not the kind of shot that jumps back on one foot with the ball in hand, but uses other threats to make the shot better.

This is too much a test of comprehensive ability, and Liu Mang learning this is just like throwing a sniper as an extra shooting choice.

In Liu Mang's view, if it wasn't because his wingspan was much longer than that of ordinary guards, the effect of this move would not be very good. It would be better to learn the fadeaway jumper.

But it's always good to have one more trick that you can use. Whether you use it or not, it becomes more difficult to defend. It is always good. It is also good to use it in case you are cornered.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Mavericks attack.

After Harris advanced to the frontcourt, Liu Mang rushed forward to steal without waiting for Harris to go beyond the three-point line. Unfortunately, Harris was very clear about his rookie position, and he would not single out Liu Reg when he was hit to death. Seeing Liu Mang rushing up, he immediately passed to Nowitzki who was outside the three-point line.

Josh Smith defended excitedly, wanting to use his physical fitness to defend Nowitzki's bounce as Mike Woodson said.

Josh Smith was fast and able to jump. After receiving the ball, Nowitzki made a shooting action. Josh Smith flew up. Nowitzki received the ball back and broke through from the right side of Josh Smith!All of a sudden, Josh Smith was left behind and easily rushed to the basket.

Dampier's role was highlighted, entangled with Kwame Brown, blocking Kwame Brown's supplementary defense, Nowitzki broke into the edge of the three-second zone and scored two points with a soft throw!

Sharp and concise breakthrough throw!

When the Eagles attacked, Liu Mang continued to play high-post singles. Sure enough, the Mavericks came in a flank, Josh Howard flanked him, and Liu Mang threw the ball to the left corner.

"Ding... the pass master level 5 is triggered, the teammate who receives the host's pass shoots within 1 second, and the overall shooting ability +5."

After receiving a pass from Liu Mang, Prince made a three-pointer!
Although Liu Mang's awareness of organizing offense is so-so, his passing vision and accuracy are perfect, and when he passes the ball, his teammates' shooting ability +5 when they catch the ball!

20 flats!
The Eagles tied the score!

However, Nowitzki immediately faced Josh Smith and successfully broke into the inside. This time Kwame Brown blocked him first, but Nowitzki's passing ability was underestimated by people. He passed the ball to Dampier at the basket during the march. Dampier caught the ball and dunked and scored two points.

Josh Smith did a good job of defending against Nowitzki's shots, but he couldn't prevent Nowitzki's breakthrough!
Nowitzki was easily broken through twice in a row. Josh Smith defended Nowitzki, allowing Liu Mang to see another misunderstanding.

Rasheed Wallace couldn't guard Nowitzki, not because of Nowitzki's simple jumper, but because he was afraid of Nowitzki's breakthrough!
Nowitzki is not just a pitcher, but a scorer with quite comprehensive offensive skills. In addition to the back-up play that has not yet been developed, his face-up singles skills may be more comprehensive than Duncan and Garnett!

It's not that Rasheed Wallace can't block Nowitzki's shots like Josh Smith, but he can't just block shots. He has played against Nowitzki so many times, and Rasheed Wallace knows Nowitzki too well.

Rasheed Wallace was able to prevent Nowitzki's breakthrough and forced Nowitzki to make a big backward golden rooster independent jumper.

But this also gave Liu Mang a little bit of new thinking!
In the transition between offense and defense, Liu Mang did not pass the ball after receiving the serve, but made gestures and advanced to the frontcourt by himself.

Seeing Liu Mang's gesture, McGrady and Prince pulled apart again, and Josh Smith came out to help Liu Mang block Harris.

Harris is about to give up defense, he can't defend in singles, and he has to play pick-and-roll!Is that guy on the other side still human?Not to bully the rookie like this, but the young general Johnson pays great attention to defense. Harris knows that his role is to rotate the defense quickly. In single defense, basically any starting point guard can't defend him.

Liu Mang faces Nowitzki in singles again!

Nowitzki blocked Liu Mang at the beginning, and completed his task of blocking shots at the beginning, and now he is full of confidence!I want to beat Liu Mang again... Hey, why did you break through and stop jumping?
Nowitzki thought that Liu Mang was going to shoot again, but saw that Liu Mang chose to break through after Josh Smith took Harris away!
Nowitzki backed away quickly, almost sitting back.

Liu Mang took two steps suddenly and saw Nowitzki retreating continuously, he stopped immediately, kept his upper body balanced, took off with his left foot on the spot, kicked his right leg, and threw the ball to the basket with his right hand!

Easy hit!

It’s not that difficult to play big, and it’s too easy to deceive opponents. Nowitzki is not the kind of player who is particularly good at defending. He is effective against power forwards alone.

Still the same sentence, it is really stupid to face Nowitzki and shoot a jumper directly!

It's so easy to play a big game. Liu Mang didn't score in the singles against Nowitzki at the beginning. It was purely stupid. He used other threats and tricked Nowitzki.

Sure enough, the task quota for the first section was completed in one fell swoop.

22 levels!Tied again!
After returning from the official timeout, Liu Mang scored 4 points and 1 assist, helping the Eagles to hold on to the score and have a chance to overtake...

However, Nowitzki immediately made a surprise attack on Josh Smith. This time, Liu Mang blocked him to avoid being directly hit by Nowitzki or Dampier for a dunk. He would rather let Harris go.

Nowitzki points the ball to Harris, and Harris makes a three-pointer with endless anger towards Liu Mang, and it goes in!

25 to 22, with 3 minutes left, the Mavericks have scored 25 points!

After the Eagles came back from the official timeout, they made all three shots, and the Mavericks did the same!
Liu Mang couldn't help calling a timeout.

"Don't jump! If he jumps up, jump again! Are you stupid!" Liu Mang yelled at Josh Smith directly, "You are so good at jumping, are you still afraid of his matchbox bouncing? Did you see how Odom defended Nowitzki?"

Josh Smith was so scolded that he couldn't speak. He was... I really haven't seen how Odom defends Nowitzki!He wasn't ready to defend against Nowitzki, he thought he would just be on the bench with the opponent, who was the top three super power forwards in the league!I am still a rookie!
"Ace, don't blame Josh, he's still young." Kwame Brown worried that Josh Smith would be fooled by Liu Mang, so he came up and said.

"He's still young? I entered the NBA much younger than him, and I even led the team to 60 wins. You high school students are really annoying, and it's not easy to worry about each other." Liu Mang yelled at Kwame Brown, but didn't continue to scold Josh Smith. "Remember, don't jump! If he jumps up, you jump again, and if he breaks through you, it doesn't matter if you get fouled!"

After Liu Mang finished talking, he went to Mike Woodson to discuss it. We can't just teach this guy to defend!It is also very important to watch the video and let him understand that he is one of the future inside pillars of the team. Liu Mang also saw that Josh Smith was a little too excited, maybe because he didn't expect to be able to play against Nowitzki when the score was tight in the first quarter.

Liu Mang understands that Josh Smith is too easily influenced by the coach, which has both advantages and disadvantages. For example, he is willing to ask him to learn anything.

However, Liu Mang's words also "offended" another person. Taking advantage of Liu Mang's inattention, Maidi hooked Liu Mang's neck from behind: "Do you have any opinion on us high school students? Ah!"

"Yayu..."

After many days, the familiar scene of the Eagles reappeared...
