Chapter 100 Unconventional Point Guard

Gallinari is 208cm tall and weighs 102kg, while Nowitzki is 213cm tall and weighs 111kg. Not to mention that he is 5cm taller than Gallinari, even Gallinari, who weighs close to 10kg, can't handle it!

Nowitzki took a few shots, and a Golden Rooster independent jumper opened the scoring record for the Dallas Mavericks.

0: 2!

The Knicks had the ball, Gatsby quickly dribbled the ball across the half court, and passed the ball to David Lee, who was supporting the high post, turned around and entered the inside lane, Kidd followed behind Gatsby, Gatsby was looking for money in the lane Dele calls for an off-ball screen and then catches a three-pointer in the corner, Kidd has been completely thrown away.

Gatsby hit a three-pointer and opened the scoring for the Knicks!

3: 2!

Coach Carlisle nodded. This is Gatsby's way of playing. He obviously has top-level ability to hold the ball, but he is willing to hand it over. This is completely different from the point guards of this era.

Deron Williams, Steve Nash, Chris Paul, Jason Kidd, who's going to hand the ball over and then walk around like a three-point shooter, tearing up space for teammates?
They didn't want to, and the coach didn't dare to arrange it like this, but this guy just did it!

Coach D'Antoni was also a little puzzled. He didn't actually arrange for Gatsby to run and catch the ball like this. His default was to let Gatsby hold the ball, just like Steve Nash. James Harden of later generations held the ball like that, of course they didn't know it at this time.

Of course Gatsby knows that this style of play is beneficial to him, a lot of ball holding time, a lot of shooting rights, can get the most data, but is this what he wants?
Of course Gatsby wants statistics, but Gatsby doesn't like this style of play. He doesn't like this kind of one person holding most of the ball, and then his teammates revolve around him alone. This kind of team can enter Playoffs, but the upper limit is not high.

Chris Paul holds most of the ball. As long as the opponent defends him, it basically limits the entire team. This is why Dow Greaves wants Griffin to be a center who can support him in the center.

He must give the team another ball-running core that can keep the team's offense flowing when Chris Paul is restricted.

Before James Harden came to the Rockets, the Rockets were easily restricted in the playoffs. The opponent's strategy was to limit James Harden and James Harden's physical strength. Once James Harden's physical strength was exhausted, Houston The Rockets will inevitably drop points.

This is also the reason why Gatsby plays without the ball. He doesn’t want the team to become his own team. The team must maintain vitality. This is why he wants David Lee to provide high support and why he wants Jeff Reese is the reason why he is the running ball core of the rotation time.

Since he wants to repay coach D'Antoni's kindness, he should fill in the gaps in D'Antoni's tactics. This is in the interests of the team and his own interests.

The Mavericks have the ball, Jason Kidd dribbles across the half court, Kidd quickly reads the Knicks' defense and positions his teammates, Nowitzki screens for Marion on the baseline, Marion circles Nowitzki To the three-point line to catch the ball, Kidd gave the ball to Marion.

Marion broke through to the inside and gave the ball to Nowitzki half way through. Because of Gallinari's contraction to help defend Marion, Nowitzki was released two steps, and Nowitzki made a direct shot.

3: 4!

Nowitzki is rarely used as the starting point of the offense, but more as the ending point. Many of the starting points are Kidd holding the ball at the top of the arc. Marion and Butler cross-run and then catch the ball and break inside to score the ball. After compressing the opponent's defense, the ball was given to Nowitzki to finish.

The Dallas Mavericks have played this routine extremely skillfully. When facing the Miami Heat next season, even though the Heat have an extremely fast small defensive lineup, facing this style of play, there will always be opportunities for the Mavericks to open shots.

The Knicks' defense is not good, and they are weak in matchups. The Mavericks feel very easy to play.

Knicks possession.

Gatsby quickly dribbled the ball across the frontcourt, then gave the ball to David Lee, and played off the ball himself. After two screens, Kidd was thrown away by Gatsby. Gatsby ran to three After receiving the ball from Larry Hughes on the point line, he made an easy three-pointer and returned it!

6: 4!

Gatsby hit two three-pointers as soon as he came up.

Kidd shook his head in distress. This kid was like a slippery fish, and he couldn't catch it no matter what.

He dribbled the ball quickly across half court, still using the same routine, with big men on both sides covering without the ball. Then Butler and Marion moved without the ball to catch the ball and break through. Chandler went up to pick and roll in the high post, and Nowitzki made a three-pointer. Ending with a ball roaming inside the line.

Nowitzki at this stage has no solution. As long as Gallinari receives the ball, it is difficult to restrict. The Knicks have to flank Nowitzki. After the flank, Nowitzki splits the ball to the open teammate.

A weakness in the matchup may cause the entire defense to collapse, because once someone is needed to help defend, and the ball is passed fast enough, the defense will always have one less person.

Marion received a pass from Nowitzki and hit a ecstatic three-pointer.

6: 7!

After Gatsby dribbled the ball for half the court, he still played without the ball. He caught the ball at the three-point line and Kidd caught up. Gallinari at the corner, Gallinari's Italian shot, also hit a three-pointer!

9: 7!

At the beginning, the shooting percentages of both sides were frighteningly high, with both sides hitting three of three.

Coach Carlisle frowned. It's normal for the Knicks to be unable to guard the Mavericks, but the Mavericks can't guard the Knicks either. After all, he is old.

If Marion is not allowed to defend, Larry Hughes should still be able to match Kidd at this point. Carlisle thought for a while, and decisively signaled Kidd and Marion to switch defenses.

Kidd dribbled the ball through the half court and gave the ball to Marion. Marion broke through and gave the ball to Nowitzki. Nowitzki's post-up singles attracted the pincers, and then passed the ball to Dampier who was in the air. Dampier Successful dunk!

Gatsby dribbled the ball halfway, and found that his defender had changed, and Marion came to defend him!

Marion is 201cm tall and weighs 103kg. He is heavier than Gates. He has amazing jumping, flying speed and excellent awareness. He was the best fast breaker when he was in the Phoenix Suns and a teammate Nash relied on very much.

Gatsby tried to get ahead of Marion, but found to his embarrassment that although Marion's opponent was ugly, his physical fitness completely overwhelmed him. He was stronger, taller, and even faster than himself!
