Forward to the basket

At 28:15, this was the first quarter that the Celtics gave to the Dallas Mavericks. Although Terry scored two consecutive three-pointers in the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, he still couldn't make up the gap.

Rebounds, shooting percentage, and offensive efficiency are all dominated by the Celtics. They didn't give the Mavericks a chance to lead the game, even if the Dallas people called two timeouts in the first quarter.

Avery Johnson, who has always been relatively quiet, rarely yelled in games, but this time he couldn't sit still, and the "Little General" almost stopped swearing.

But even if Johnson was so furious, during the timeout, he also changed the previously arranged tactics.

It also couldn't save the Mavericks from being suppressed. Those green shirts who were like caravan bandits came and went like the wind.

This is no longer a wildness that can be curbed by a timeout alone. Johnson watched the score being continuously refreshed with a livid face throughout the first quarter.

Winning seven games in a row, when victory becomes a kind of inertia, there will always be a unique atmosphere in the team, as if every time they step on the court, it is to grab the victory.

But such a head-on blow really stunned the Mavericks. Even if the head coach was furious on the sidelines, he couldn't wake up the guys' feel and normal state in time.

Shots were missed, cuts were blocked, and pick-and-rolls were marked. Although the Mavericks' offense has been trying to find a suitable burst point, no matter how these guys play, they don't feel smooth.

Throughout the first quarter, the Celtics were completely leading the way. The Mavericks' rhythm and tactics followed the Celtics completely passively.

Rivers never called a timeout, and even when he was chased by his opponent to 5:6 in the first 10 minutes, he remained motionless, completely allowing his players to attack as they wished.

It is this kind of calmness that directly affects the offensive quality of the Celtics. Whether it is a chasing three-pointer or a backhand layup from the bottom line, even Rondo threw a three-pointer outside the three-point line for the first time.

I was completely excited to play. If I really run into such a high-spirited team, sometimes I really can't stop it if I want to. These guys just shoot whatever they want.

Sometimes the goal that seems impossible to score just got into the basket by accident, which made the Mavericks look helpless when they were defending.

The most awkward thing for the Mavericks is probably Rivers' wonderful starting lineup, two point guards!Two big men who can jump and shoot, such an overlapping arrangement seems like a waste.

But the actual effect is only clear to the Bostonians themselves. Of course, now the Mavericks are also clearly aware of the viciousness of Rivers' move.

With two point guards and two organizational lines, no matter who controls the basketball for the first time, he can directly launch a fast break, and he doesn't have to be afraid of being marked to death by the opponent.

Neither Harris nor Terry are the standard defensive pioneers. When facing Rondo and West, even if they can stop them, they can't control them.

What's more, those two guys are not the kind of guards who focus on collecting statistics for themselves. They can keep an eye on their breakthroughs, but they can't stop their passes.

Jefferson and Chen Feng, the two big guys, took turns to pester Nowitzki, making the Germans fight and feel awkward.

And these two guys just seized the space and stormed the basket. The advance speed was very fast and the rhythm was fast. If they directly hit the Mavericks' weakness, it would really be defenseless.

However, the one who irritated Avery Johnson the most was probably the big man who ravaged the basket in the first quarter. Although Chen Feng scored four points, both attacks were all lobs.

And every time was more violent than the first. The second time, the cooperation between this guy and Rondo was directly an aerial operation across half court, and it was a heavy dunk against Dampier.

Dampier, who is known as the second center in the West, is also considered a guy. The shape of the block is actually quite standard, but the actual effect, uh, you can see how he fell.

This guy's big body was directly thrown head-on like this, and his two raised hands couldn't slap the basketball away, even though his hands had already touched the basketball.

But just because he pressed it, it didn't mean that Dampier could really slap that fierce guy away, he couldn't stop the guy from pressing down ferociously with one hand.

It was completely in a state of massacre, holding the basketball with one hand, holding the basketball with two hands, and pressing it down in such a vigorous manner, it just broke through the blockade that was erected in the air!

Dampier fell on his back, but this guy didn't get many sympathetic eyes, and only Howard kindly ran over and grabbed him.

"Little General" didn't pay any attention to this weird guy, played for [-] minutes, only contributed two rebounds, didn't score a point, and Chen Feng and Jefferson jointly scored [-] points.

A typical defensive center, who can get such miserable statistics, this guy can no longer be described as a miracle. His existence is simply a big sieve for the Mavericks inside.

Regardless of whether it was Pierce cutting for a layup or facing Jefferson's post-up singles, Dampier's performance in the first quarter was called a muddle, almost like sleepwalking.

Even Chen Feng didn't yell at that guy after he dunked this one. He just turned around and asked Jefferson beside him, "Is this the guy who is the second center in the West? I'll go, there's no one in the West?"

Jefferson didn't know how to answer this question. Uh, should I say again, Dampier, that idiot, once said in the 05 playoffs that he was the best center in the Western Conference.

Of course, that can only be called a title, because Dampier is such a wonderful guy, averaging points and rebounds has never entered any leaderboard.

It is estimated that only Cuban, that crazy-headed psychopath, can spend 7 years and 7300 million US dollars to sign such a thing, er, this means that there are such players as there are bosses.

With Dampier on the inside, sometimes it is really appropriate and absolutely unsolvable. Of course, it is not that the opponent has no solution, but Johnson himself has no solution. He really does not know how to use the second center in the West.

I can't bear it, I don't need to bear it anymore, the endurance of the "Little General" is also limited. After Dampier was an idiot for a whole quarter, he finally put this guy who thought he was doing well on the bench and replaced it directly. Jerry Stackhouse just finished warming up.

"Jerry, come on, remember, use experience to separate the opponent's two point guards, don't let them directly communicate as frequently as in the first quarter, we want to split Boston's passing line!"

It can be seen that the double point guard tactics in the first quarter really gave Avery Johnson a headache. Coupled with Dampier's poor performance, he thought about it for a long time, and he was ruthless.

Stackhouse, Terry, and Harris fired three arrows at once, and a tall and strong Desagina Diop was placed inside. This posture is going to fight the Celtics.

However, these changes are all to change the tragic state that let the Celtics lead them by the nose.

What Avery Johnson has to rely on is not just the players who stand up from the bench. What he needs to get done is the most certain card in his hand.

"Dirk, hand over the interior defense to Desagena, your task..." When Johnson watched Nowitzki say these words, he paused for a moment, hoping that the other party could understand what he meant.

"Coach, needless to say, I know what to do, the game feels bad in the first quarter, but I think this is only temporary." Germans have always had strong nerves, so on some issues, there is no need What others said was too clear, and Nowitzki himself knew that he should do something.

"You just need to understand. I believe you can adjust yourself. Wait a minute, your main attack, inside and outside, will hold back the opponent's fast break in the first quarter, and you won't run back and forth."

Although Johnson is the head coach, in the NBA, a league where stars come first, even an old fritter like Jackson knows when to communicate with his superstars.

Although Nowitzki is not the kind of guy who likes to control everything alone, Johnson still has to be polite to this German guy who is rooted in Dallas.

Perhaps Nowitzki may respect the respected old coach of Nelson, but for a rookie like Johnson who has only taken over the team for less than two years, he may not necessarily bow down.

It's just that the German is not that standard thorn, he will still obey the coach's arrangement, and the awkward feeling in the first quarter made this guy a little angry.

Especially when he was entangled by that strong Asian kid No. 99, that little bastard in the first grade, who was always messing with Nowitzki.

Anyway, it's either pulling the team uniform, or holding the opponent with an elbow, anyway, whatever can make Nowitzki uncomfortable, that kid will do it.

Jefferson didn't do as much as that kid. Compared with that guy, Jefferson was simply too kind!

This kind of endless teasing can really make people angry. Even if Nowitzki is not the kind of person who often conflicts with others, he still can't stand this kind of stimulation.

There is not much rest time after a game, and Johnson's tactical adjustments can only be revised in such a hurry. As for the effect, the "little general" has no idea.

But some people don't need too much verbal encouragement. He only needs to adjust his mentality to turn himself into a super killer on the court.

As soon as Chen Feng raised his head, he bumped into Nowitzki head-on, but this time, that guy didn't wander around waiting for someone to pass the ball to him, but took the initiative to ask for the ball across half court.

The German guy was directly on top of Chen Feng's needlepoint near the three-point line. Nowitzki, whose shoulders were slightly lowered, didn't make any moves, and just remained in a stalemate.

Don't think that if this guy doesn't move, everything will be fine. With the pressure Chen Feng feels at this moment, he even hopes that this German guy can move a little bit, so he doesn't want to meet so endlessly.

God probably also heard Chen Feng's psychological cry. After two or three seconds of stalemate, Nowitzki moved, but this movement shocked Chen Feng.

Holding the basketball high, Nowitzki's action looked more like a fake action, so Chen Feng did not easily move his defensive steps, but as soon as Chen Feng made a decision, the German's action changed.

Swish, by the time Chen Feng came to his senses, the basketball had already passed over his head and stably plunged into the hoop. The sound of brushing the net was clear and loud, but it was by no means pleasing to the ear.

The German guy who was steadily retreating to the backcourt did not make any unnecessary demonstrations, but now Chen Feng already felt an invisible pressure rushing towards him...

The leader of the group of mad cows finally showed his sharp horns...
