I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 161 Learn about the "Three Points of Rain" Package

The intermission is over and the second quarter begins.

The lineup sent by the Mavericks is: Delk, Lagabel, Jamison, Nowitzki, Bradley.

The lineup sent by the Kings is: Jackson, Anthony Peeler, Peja, Darius Sangueira, Brad Miller.

Adelman, the head coach of the Kings, played a trick. Seeing that Peja was completely locked up by Li Xuan in the first quarter, he deliberately staggered the playing time with Li Xuan to let Peja play his own strength.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Mavericks had the ball.

Delk dribbled forward and came outside the three-point line to organize the offense.

The lineup of the Mavericks on the field mainly relies on Nowitzki and Jamison to attack, and the other players are basically defensive players.

After Nowitzki was about to get the ball from the high position on the right, seeing the defensive player Sangueira a few steps away from him, it was very obvious that he let him shoot, and felt a little helpless.

This is a tiger falling into Pingyang being bullied by a dog!

Although Nowitzki has not received the influence of Chinese culture, this is what his state of mind translates to at this time.

The "driver" jumped up and shot without any hesitation, and the action was done in one go.

Sangueira rushed forward to interfere symbolically, feeling that if he didn't do something, he would disrespect his opponent.

Bang bang!Fight with anger!
In tonight's game, Nowitzki turned into the "Iron King" and hit the basket with a bang.

The Kings protected the rebound in the backcourt, Jackson dribbled the ball forward quickly, and immediately passed the ball to Peja just after halftime.

In the transition stage of offense and defense, Peja took advantage of the fact that the Mavericks' players were not in a good position to defend, and made an emergency stop to take off and shoot.

Jamison, who retreated, immediately rushed to block.

Due to Peja's quick shot, coupled with the advantage of height and wingspan, Jamison failed to interfere with the shot.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

32: 24!

On the sidelines, Kings coach Rick Adelman smiled, clapped his hands, and shouted toward the field: "This is how we play, keep it up, and bring out our characteristics."

On the court, Jamison looked sad. Off the court, he saw Li Xuan torture his opponent very badly. When it was his turn to defend, he was ruthlessly beaten by his opponent.

"Is there such a big gap between me and Lee's defense?" Jamison was a little puzzled.

The ball is switched and the Mavericks attack.

After collaborating with Nowitzki on the pick-and-roll, Delk broke through to the basket, changed direction and swayed Sangueira, who was changing defenses, and came to the penalty area, attracting the defense of insider Miller, hitting the ground and passing the ball to the basket.

After the unguarded Bradley received the ball, he stood up and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

34: 24!

"The offense of the Mavericks is very patient, and this cooperation is very exciting." Director Xu analyzed.

In the next few rounds, both sides scored points, and the point difference remained at around 10 points.

About 4 minutes into the second quarter, the head coaches of the two sides made substitution adjustments.

The Mavericks replaced Li Xuan, Nash and others, and replaced Nowitzki and Jamison.

Kings replaced Divac and Christie and others, replaced Peja and Miller and others.

After the substitution adjustment, the Mavericks have the ball.

Nash dribbled forward and came to the top of the arc to organize the offense.

Seeing that the Kings backup guard Jackson was defending him in front of him, he felt a little puzzled.

Where did Bibby go?

Could it be that he was really injured by Li?
Nash felt that he had discovered the truth, took a deep breath, and silently complained in his heart: "Li Zhen is too fierce, I'd better not fight him one-on-one in the future, or I will lose my life!"

At this time, Li Xuan used his superb off-the-ball running skills to get rid of Gerald Wallace's defense and made a posture for the ball.

Seeing Wallace chasing and defending, Li Xuan had no choice but to move again before the ball was passed, feeling a little puzzled.

"Lao Na stopped using assists? I didn't offend him!"

Seeing this, Nash raised his hand in embarrassment, indicating that it was his problem, and then quickly passed the ball.

After receiving the pass, Li Xuan made an emergency stop and jumped up to shoot.

The future "Elvis" Wallace's athletic ability is very strong, and he rushed to block the shot regardless of his body.

Due to the gap in height and wingspan, although Li Xuan's shot was not blocked, it was still disturbed.

Bang bang!Fight with anger!
At the basket, Divac grabbed the rebound and held it in his arms. He waited for all the Mavericks players to retreat before passing the ball.

Jackson dribbled the ball forward without rushing, and when he came beyond the three-point line, he saw that Divac was stuck in the low post on the right and asked for the ball, so he immediately hung the ball over.

Seeing this, Li Xuan immediately ran towards the basket to help his teammates defend.

The reason why he can safely and boldly retreat to the basket to help defend is mainly because the "Elvis" Wallace in this period is still training and has no shooting ability at all. Most of the sources of scoring are breakthroughs and hitting the basket.

On the other side, after receiving the ball, Divac pushed his back a few times, tested Nesterovic's center of gravity, found that the defender's center of gravity was forward, suddenly hit his back with force, then turned around into the penalty area, and then Throw the ball, and the action is done in one go.

At this moment, Li Xuan descended from the sky, flew past Divac, and slapped the basketball he had just shot out of the baseline.

The defense was successful, and Li Xuan and Nesterovic celebrated by high-fiving.

"Beautiful! Xiao Li returned to defense in a timely manner. This insight is not something ordinary people can achieve." Director Zhang praised.

The game continued, and the Kings sent the baseline ball.

With little time left in the attack, Christie received the pass and jumped up against Finley's defense to shoot.

Bang bang!Fight with anger!
Li Xuan grabbed the rebound, passed it to Nash to dribble forward, and then ran towards the frontcourt.

After receiving the ball, Nash quickly speeded up, changed direction and passed Jackson who wanted to intercept, dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, made a shooting posture, attracted Wallace's defense, and passed the ball to the left without looking at anyone. throw.

Li Xuan, who was plugged in later, received the pass, pulled it up, and shot a three-pointer.

The basketball draws a perfect arc in the air.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

In the next few rounds, the Kings fell into a scoring drought, and their scoring methods basically relied on passing and cutting.

But the Mavericks made defensive adjustments that allowed

Li Xuan retracted to the vicinity of the penalty area to help his teammates guard the penalty area, making it very difficult for the Kings to cut inside to the basket to score.

The Kings also tried to let Wallace, who was emptied, shoot, but the effect was very poor.

Wallace shot from outside the three-point line or within a step or two of the three-point line, and Li Xuan's interference effect was minimal.

However, his mid-range jumper in other areas will be seriously hindered.

Moreover, Wallace has no shooting ability at this stage, and the hit rate can be imagined, which is really appalling.

Taking advantage of the Kings' offensive failure, the Mavericks seized the opportunity to play a defensive counterattack, catching the Kings' lack of active defense many times, scoring consecutively, and further widening the point difference.

On the Kings bench, coach Adelman couldn't sit still, and immediately replaced Peja and other key players on the field, trying to stop the decline.

Seeing this, Nelson also made personnel adjustments. Since the inside line was at a disadvantage, he simply let Nowitzki play the center forward and speed up the counterattack.

After substitutions and adjustments, the Kings Twin Towers took the lead in the attack, and Miller hit Jamison in the low post with a hook, breaking the scoring shortage.

Jamison was very depressed. Everyone treated him as a persimmon, and everyone could score on him.

"Fuck! If you are bullied by Li, you will know to find out your anger on me. You wait, I will ask Li to teach you a lesson."

Immediately, while participating in the attack, Jamison ran to Li Xuan and muttered a few words, and then returned to his seat.

The Mavericks attacked, and Nowitzki and Jamison both ran to stand near the middle distance on both sides, pulling the inside line empty.

The twin towers of the Kings are in trouble at this time.

Do you want to go out with me?
Both of these guys have the ability to shoot, what a bother!

In the end, the twin towers of the Kings did not leave the penalty area, preventing breakthroughs but not preventing shots.

Dirk Nowitzki and Jamison have tried a long-range jumper on the outside, but all ended in failure.

The Kings felt that they had made the right bet and firmly decided to stay in the penalty area to defend.

But the Mavericks made quick adjustments. Nowitzki and Jamison covered for their teammates one after another, allowing Li Xuan, Nash and others to shoot from the outside.

It was out of control immediately, and the Mavericks began to "rain three-pointers", which made the Kings have to change their defensive strategy.

"Strike! This is Li Xuan's third consecutive three-pointer from outside the three-point line. If the Kings don't make adjustments, the game will be suspended!" Director Xu analyzed.

On the sidelines, Kings coach Rick Adelman looked sad. He lacked two main players.

Then he replaced Miller and replaced Wallace to strengthen the perimeter defense and speed up the defense.

After the substitution adjustment, although the Mavericks' outside defense was restrained, the Kings' offense was paralyzed again.

Li Xuan and Nowitzki guarded the basket, leaving the Kings with no advantage inside.

Although Peja has a strong point on the outside line, Jamieson defends him closely and has no chance to shoot at all.

If they encounter a screen, the Mavericks will switch defenses in time. Although they occasionally score one in a misplaced position, it will not help and cannot reduce the score.

At the end of the second quarter, the score on the big screen was 66:44, and the Mavericks entered the second half with a 22-point lead.

After a short 15-minute break, the second half officially began.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Kings players did not give up. Under the leadership of Peja, they played an 8-0 attack wave and quickly narrowed the point difference.

The Mavericks quickly made defensive adjustments, allowing Li Xuan to follow Peja closely without helping his teammates to defend.

With such an adjustment, the Kings' offense came to an abrupt halt. Peja couldn't catch the ball and couldn't end the offense. The other players of the Kings' offensive ability was too poor, and they could only hit iron when they were disturbed.

After the Mavericks suppressed the momentum of the Kings' counterattack, they quickly launched a counterattack, scored consecutively, and opened the point difference to more than 20 points.

At the end of the third quarter, the point difference between the two sides was fixed at 24 points, and the game entered garbage time.

In the fourth quarter, Li Xuan, Nash and others did not play again, and the old Nelson let Nowitzki play to find his status.

In the garbage time, Nowitzki felt warmer, hit a few mid-range jumpers one after another, and scored in double figures.

When the fourth quarter lasted about 5 minutes, the old Nelson replaced Nowitzki and put on young players to exercise.

Under the attack of the fringe players of the two teams, the pace of the game was very fast, and the two sides played happily.

In the garbage time, the Kings' substitute players were not strong enough and failed to recover some points. Instead, they were suppressed by the Mavericks' substitute players, and the score was further widened.

With the piercing beep, the game came to an end.

In the end, the Mavericks beat the Kings 122-88 to avoid a losing streak.

Fortunately, Peja staggered the playing time with Li Xuan, otherwise his statistics would be very poor.

Kings starting center Divac scored a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds.

After the game, Li Xuan deservedly became the best player of the game.

After shaking hands with the players of the Kings, Li Xuan walked to the sidelines and was immediately surrounded by a large number of media reporters.

"Li, congratulations on your 30+ double-double again. Do you think Nowitzki's comeback performance tonight is helpful to the team?" ESPN reporter asked.

"Of course it helps. The victory of the game is inseparable from the dedication of every player of the Mavericks." Li Xuan replied.

"But Dirk Nowitzki is obviously in a very bad state. If it weren't for you to turn the tide, the result of the game would be hard to predict." The media reporters asked.

After hearing this, Li Xuan cursed inwardly: "Fuck! I'll dig a hole for me again, but I won't dance, and I will piss you off."

"Dirk just came back from injury. It's not that easy to get back to his form. We need to take our time. We have enough time, so don't worry." Li Xuan responded sincerely.

Seeing that Li Xuan was not fooled, the media reporters immediately asked the next question.

"As far as we know, Kings guard Bibby was injured. Was it caused by the collision?"

"I'm very sorry. I really don't know about this. It was just an ordinary foul during the game. If it was really caused by me, then I apologize to Bibby."

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he stopped accepting interviews, pushed through the crowd, and walked towards the player tunnel.

"I have to deal with those unscrupulous media reporters after each game. I don't know how many brain cells have died. Why don't you hire a special press officer to take care of such things?"

The more Li Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that it could be done. After making up his mind, a smile appeared on his face again, and he returned to the dressing room in a happy mood.
