against the front

Chapter 230 Judgement
"The fans at Arco Arena are crazy!"

On May 2010, 5, International Labor Day, at 1:7 p.m. in the Arco Arena, when the visiting Dallas Mavericks walked up and down the player tunnel, there were crazy boos and various F beginnings in the Arco Arena. The vocabulary, from rookie Rodrigo Beaubois to Dirk Nowitzki, every Mavericks player who played has enjoyed extremely high decibel boos.

And when the king started to play up and down, the boos of the Arco Arena stopped abruptly, replaced by cheers and shouts all over the sky, especially when Yan Hua, who played the finale, walked out of the player tunnel, Arco Ball The on-site atmosphere of the museum reached its peak.

"King, King, King..."

Amidst waves of crazy shouts, Yan Hua waved his arms and walked out of the player channel of Arco Arena. Since the turn of the century, Arco Arena has been the ball with the highest attendance rate and the craziest atmosphere in the entire NBA. One of the gymnasiums, especially in the past few years from 00-03, although with the disintegration of the team known as the most gorgeous offensive team in history, the Arco Arena also fell into a short trough, but with the joining of Yan Hua , the King's record is getting better and better every year, and the Arco Arena has gradually returned to its former madness.

This round of the series between the Kings and the Mavericks is definitely very interesting. Yan Hua is the strongest center in active service, and Dirk Nowitzki is also one of the strongest forwards in active service. Although the two of them are talking directly on the court The number of times may not be many, but the confrontation between two super insiders is also very gimmick,
In addition, this is the second consecutive season that the Kings and the Mavericks have met in the division semifinals, superstars, revenge and grievances, so compared to the series between the Lakers and the Suns that seemed to be very different in strength, the Kings and Mavericks This round of the series undoubtedly attracted more attention and attention.

"The starting lineup of the Mavericks today looks a bit interesting." After the appearance ceremony ended and the starting lineups of both sides began to appear, Kenny Smith, who was on the sidelines, discovered the difference in the Mavericks' starting lineup. place.

"Three inside lineup?" Not only Kenny Smith, but even Charles Barkley was obviously surprised when he saw the Mavericks' starting five. Center Eric Dampier, power forward Shaw En Marion, small forward Dirk Nowitzki, shooting guard Caron Butler, point guard Jason Kidd.

Rick Carlisle's lineup is very weird, but it is very targeted. Putting Dirk Nowitzki in the 3rd position can not only avoid Yan Hua, but also form a dislocation for the king's defensive players , At the same time, it can also reduce Nowitzki's defensive pressure on the defensive end, because letting Nowitzki serve as a small forward means that Nowitzki does not have to participate in the defense against Yan Hua.

"Let's judge!" Looking at the starting lineup of the Mavericks, and looking at the starting lineup of the Kings, the gap between Reggie Toyes and Rick Carlisle is very obvious. Dirk Nowitzki's defense, Reggie Toyes today arranged for Spencer Hawes, who has better height and defensive ability, to start at the fourth position, but the Mavericks' three insiders The lineup, but let the adjustment of Reggie Troyes come to naught, Spencer Hawes defends Dirk Nowitzki better than Serge Ibaka, but defends Shawn Marion In other words, Serge Ibaka, a more mobile power forward, is obviously more suitable.

Looking at Reggie Toyes with a long face not far away, Rick Carlisle smiled and shook his head. In terms of tactical layout and on-the-spot command ability, in this league, there is no better player than Rick Carlisle. , there are only a few of them, and Reggie Troyes in front of him is definitely not among them.

Just when Reggie Toyes frowned because his arrangement was seen through by Rick Carlisle, the game had officially begun.

Eric Dampier is representing the Mavericks jump ball today. In the case of being at a disadvantage in height and physical fitness, Eric Dampier is also very self-aware, almost when the referee throws the basketball In an instant in the air, Eric Dampier retreated without any intention of competing with Yan Hua for the opening ball.

As for the failure of Eric Dampier's jump ball, the Mavericks were clearly prepared. When Yan Hua moved the basketball to the Kings' half court, the Mavericks players on the court had already started to retreat. When Tony Allen got the ball in the backcourt and brought the basketball to the middle circle, except for Jason Kidd who was waiting for Tony Allen near the middle circle, the rest of the Mavericks players on the field, All defenses are in place.

Tony Allen, who was pressed by Jason Kidd, did not have too much entanglement with Jason Kidd, but directly passed the ball to John Salmons, who was supporting him, as a combo Guard, Tony Allen seems to have the wrong skill points. In terms of defensive ability, Tony Allen has basically reached the full value. The 1st and 2nd positions in the entire league can take advantage of Tony Allen. There are almost none, but in terms of offense, Tony Allen seems to really have no talent, his ball-handling ability is still reluctant, his shooting ability is average, and his organizational skills are extremely poor. Therefore, in the Kings, as long as Tony Allen arrives with the ball For the frontcourt, either it is directly handed over to Yan Hua inside, or it is passed to John Salmons for him to organize.

In the first attack after the opening game, the Mavericks did not double-team or go around Yan Hua like the Blazers did, but let Eric Dampier support Yan Hua behind him, let Yan Hua sit Playing slowly at the basket is different from the Trail Blazers who have no one who can withstand Yan Hua behind the back. Eric Dampier of the Mavericks is a low-post defensive player known for his strength. His personal bench press record is second only to Yan Hua. Shaquille O'Neal and Ben Wallace.

They played 9 games last season, and played 4 more games this season, so Yan Hua is very clear about the characteristics of Eric Dampier. Don't look at Eric Dampier's age, but he wants to sit It is not so easy to play slowly at the basket, so after receiving a pass from John Salmons, Yan Hua leaned back slightly, then immediately turned around and used his singles Eric -Dampier's usual trick.

But just when Yan Hua was about to turn around, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Sean Marion rushing towards him, ready to block his turning route. Eric Dampier pushed behind him, and Sean Marion - Marion blocking the sidelines should be Rick Carlisle's main strategy for defending Yanhua today.

If it was in the past, when Yan Hua met two strong and defensive old men, one in front and one behind in a double-team, Yan Hua really couldn't find a way to break it, but now, when Yan Hua's Dream's footsteps have been upgraded to level three. After even Olajuwon himself can shake, there is no threat to Yan Hua about double-teaming or old man.

Yan Hua, who originally planned to turn around to the left next to Eric Dampier, quickly took back his steps after catching Sean Marion who was rushing towards him, using his left foot as the axis, and his right foot slightly Moved, turned to the right side of the body and made a feint of turning around and shooting.

Sean Marion, who rushed towards Yan Hua, saw Yan Hua suddenly change his turning posture, and immediately stopped and adjusted his direction of travel. However, when Sean Marion just started, he saw Go to Yanhua and turn back.

When Yan Hua changed the direction of turning around again, Eric Dampier, who had been standing behind Yan Hua, couldn't bear it anymore, and jumped up with a jerk, and then stood on the spot not far from them. When the referee was on duty, he blew the whistle in his mouth, and Eric Dampier made a defensive foul.
