The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 233 Nowitzki's sense of crisis!

"In this game, the Warriors' starting lineup is still a small lineup with Harrington at the center."

"In the final stage of the regular season, the old Nelson lived up to his name as a 'mad scientist', and directly replaced Biedrins as the starting center with Harrington, who was swinging at the third and fourth positions before, and vowed to Run and bomb to the end."

"Facts have proved that such a lineup experiment is undoubtedly successful. Other teams are obviously not suitable for their style of play. good."

After Yang Jian finished speaking, Director Wei Ping also said:
"The Braves' thinking is very clear, that is, to use their quick-witted style of play, from the beginning of the game to constantly attack your inside line, to gain an advantage by breaking through and shooting outside, so as to control the game. initiative."

Yang Huahua said: "At the same time, we saw that the Mavericks also chose to change their lineup. They also used their own small lineup to deal with the Warriors, which is very interesting."

"Although Mavericks coach Johnson has been emphasizing the need to take advantage of their height over the past few days, making it clear that the team's high center will be a key player in this series, it turns out that this is just smoke bombs .”

The truth or falsehood of these words can only fool those reporters, and it is impossible for an old Jianghu like Old Nelson to work.

"When they said they were going to play high center, I thought it was ridiculous." Old Nelson said in an interview with the media before the game.

Facing the Warriors who are running wild and tireless, if Dampier or Diop is put on the court, it will be a four-on-five end.

From this point of view, the Mavericks' formation still has a feeling of prescribing the right medicine.

But their small lineup has one biggest flaw.

That is the lack of actual combat test, just a set of experimental products.

If it succeeds, it is a surprise victory.

Failed, as it should be.

Compared with the Warriors who spent more than ten games to adapt and familiarize themselves with the lineup,

The Dallas Mavericks have never used this starter in any official game.

Center Dirk Nowitzki, power forward Josh Howard, small forward Devin George, shooting guard Jason Terry, point guard Devin Harris.

"In terms of mobility, it has indeed improved a lot, but have these people really got enough running-in? This is the playoffs." Ernie Johnson frowned.

"Perhaps Johnson thinks that he can beat the Warriors by arranging and combining his players at random—Dragon will definitely kick his ass hard and teach him a lesson!" Barkley said, shaking his fist.

……

"Di-!"

After the whistle, the two power forwards, Harrington and Nowitzki, scrambled for the ball, and the ball fell into the hands of the Mavericks.

Although in the middle and late stages of his career, Dirk, who has become an independent golden rooster, can basically solve the offense with one-handed shooting, but when he was young, the German tank was also a big guy who could run and jump.

Devin Harris took control of the ball and directly accelerated to a 45° angle.

Zhang Bolong stepped forward decisively and made a tight defense, using physical confrontation in advance to help himself adapt to the intensity of the game.

Harris hurriedly protected the ball, turned around and got rid of it, and then lobbed the ball to Nuo Tianwang, who was in an important position inside.

The ball flew in the air for a while, and before it fell into Nowitzki's hands, Harrington and Jackson wrapped it up, and Richardson was also ready to move.

Seeing this, Nowitzki quickly took the ball and turned from the face frame to the back shot.

Using the vision brought by his height advantage, after the dribble attracted a part of the defense, he gave the ball to Josh Howard on one side.

But the Warriors' defensive rotation is even faster than the ball!

As soon as Josh Howard received the ball, Jackson drove past Nowitzki, never giving him a chance to attack.

Seeing that there was nothing to take advantage of, Chou Huo continued to hand the ball to Nowitzki, and the king would complete the singles.

The Mavericks' tactic is simple:
Nowitzki can beat Howard, Howard can beat Terry, Terry can beat Stackhouse, Stackhouse can beat Harris...

There is almost no other team in the league with so many reliable scoring points.

But again, the Warriors' defensive tactics are very clear!

Regardless of others, the German tank must "die"!
No one knows the ability of his disciple better than old Nelson.

As long as Nowitzki is in the low post, there will be at least two guards!

One person goes around to interfere, the other defends and confronts, laying down a lot of siege for him!
During the regular season, one of the Mavericks' major weapons is to use the pick-and-roll to allow Dirk to play singles from the outside.

At this time, Nuo Tianwang's stunt has not yet been completed, and his back-up technique is not perfect enough.

It is his dislocation advantage that allows him to win the MVP honor.

Either use your athletic ability and basket skills, break through the inside to play with the bulky and slow big man,
Either take advantage of his size and precision shooting, or a strong, skinny little man.

It's almost the same feeling as Zhang Bolong's Durant in his previous life, that is, he is out of position when he hits anyone, and there are almost no defensive players on the opposite side who can match the upper position.

Those who are taller and stronger than him are not as fast as he is, and those who are faster than him are not as strong as him on the defensive end.

but!

But there is such a wonderful team in the league, which happens to be able to face Nowitzki on the defensive end.

It's the Golden State Warriors!

Whether it is Harrington or Jackson, as well as Biedrins and Barnes on the bench, they are all more than two meters tall, dare to confront and are very strong.

In terms of strength, they are not at a disadvantage compared to big men, but in terms of mobility, they are almost at the level of swingmen.

The reception of these two people in turn made Nowitzki very uncomfortable for a while.

In fact, the Mavericks have only played one serious game with the Warriors this season.

That goes back half a year, on November 2006, 11, the third game of the new season...

In that game, Nowitzki made 10 of 7 shots and 12 of 11 free throws. He easily scored 26 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. Throughout the entire game, the Mavericks lost the last 3 points.

More importantly, it was Troy Murphy that the Warriors guarded Dirk!
At that time, the Warriors did not have Jackson, Harrington, and Zhang Bolong!

In the next two games, the Mavericks chose to go downhill and gave the old coach two bull heads to show their respect.

Until now!

The serious Nuo Tianwang suddenly felt a sense of crisis,

After his two consecutive shots missed the rim, the Warriors completed two fast breaks at a high speed, leading to a 4-0 start.

Only then did he realize that he and the team were very unfamiliar with this Warriors team, almost ignorant of it!
