I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 181 Basic guidance for being both a player and a coach
"This Mavericks team is no longer the team with strong offense and weak defense in our impression, which caused many of our tactics to fail to work. The next game should be played like this!"

Byron Scott quickly laid out several conventional offensive tactics and emphasized strengthening the defense.

If you think that Scott just laid out the tactics in a perfunctory manner, you are completely wrong. Others still have secret weapons that they have not used.

Immediately, Scott looked at Kidd and asked, "Jason, do you have anything to add?"

This is Scott's secret weapon. He is a rookie-level coach who has only been coaching for more than three years. He can lead the team to the finals in a row, and most of the credit belongs to Guidance.

Kidd understood, nodded, and said, "Coach, I have something to add."

Scott handed over the pad and pen.

Kidd took it readily, and then gesticulated on the tactical board.

"Listen up everyone, we should play like this in the next offense to break the Mavericks' defense."

Scott on the side smiled, listening to Kidd's tactics, and praised his wit in his heart.

When you have a point guard like Rondo or Kidd on your team, you can be a hands-off shopkeeper, and you can learn a wave.

After seeing Kidd's arrangement, Scott clapped his hands and said, "Everyone heard the arrangement just now? If we fight like this, victory will eventually belong to us!"

Although Scott's coaching level is not good, he is very good at instilling chicken soup for the soul into the players.

No, a simple person like Kenyon Martin just took a bite, excited like a 200-pound child.

Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.

After the game restarted, the situation of the Nets did not improve.

Kidd once again commanded "traffic" at the top of the arc, tugging at the Mavericks' defense, but to no avail.

In the end, he could only fulfill his previous promise, crushing Nash's small body, rushed into the penalty area, and caused a foul by Nowitzki who stepped forward to help defend.

Amidst the boos of the audience, Kidd stood on the free throw line, received the referee's pass, made two free throws and scored 1 point.

11: 3!

The ball is switched and the Mavericks attack.

Nash dribbled to the three-point line and organized the team's offense.

Although Kidd's defense made him feel very difficult, Narina didn't have to attack by himself. There are so many talents in the team, and everyone can score.

"Jason, actually, you don't have to defend me so hard. The Mavericks score too many points, and I can't be ranked."

Kidd gritted his teeth angrily after hearing this, and the skinny man immediately intensified his confrontation after showing off in Chiguoguo.

At this time, with the help of Li Xuan's cover, Finley got rid of the defense and quickly ran towards the middle distance on the right.

Seeing this, Nash quickly passed the ball, but Kidd failed to intercept it.

"I said don't stick to the defense so tightly, I just pass the ball."

Kidd ignored Nash's trash talk and turned to see if his teammates were following the defense.

The result was destined to disappoint him, and Finley got a very good chance to open.

Seeing this scene, Kidd shook his head helplessly. The defense that the Nets were proud of was vulnerable to the Mavericks.

Finley immediately pulled up after receiving the pass and made a mid-range shot.

13: 3!

Looking back, the Nets attacked.

Kidd saw that Kenyon Martin was active in the low post on the right, and he didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, so he passed the ball.

This time, Kenyon Martin's movements were significantly bigger than before, his elbows were very restless, and he kept elbowing Li Xuan's abdomen.

"Little rookie, I'm going to show my real skills, you can't stop me!"

Martin flicked his elbows, and at the same time his mouth was not idle, forcing Lai Lai to spout trash.

"This is your true ability, it's like you haven't eaten, you're as soft as a woman, you're really working hard!" Li Xuan responded with a confrontation.

After receiving the pass, Martin crazily put his arm against Li Xuan and moved towards the penalty area. He couldn't tolerate others mocking him as a bitch.

"Now you know how powerful I am! I'm not a girl!" Martin didn't slow down, and still used all his strength to fight.

"Why are you so soft, you've been holding on for a long time, and you're still standing still, use your strength to suck!"

Seeing the effect of the trash talk, Li Xuan raised the corners of his mouth, took a chance, and quickly retreated.

Martin, who was pushing forward with all his strength, lost his support and immediately fell to the ground, failing to protect the ball.

Li Xuan was not polite, and immediately snatched the ball from Martin, dribbled it, observed the position of his teammates, and threw the ball towards the frontcourt.

Lagabel, who was on the fast break, received the pass, rushed to the basket quickly, and after a physical confrontation with the chasing Kidders, he hit a layup and scored 2 points.

15: 3!

When retreating, Li Xuan passed by Martin and "kindly" reminded him.

"Tsk tsk, you already lead by more than 10 points before you know it, buddy, if you don't work hard, you may not be able to score in double figures in the first quarter."

Kenyon Martin's eyes were burning, and he wanted to beat up the arrogant rookie in front of him to relieve his anger.

Just when Martin was imagining how to beat up Li Xuan violently, Kidd interrupted his daydream.

"Why are you standing still! You still haven't come over to serve."

Kenyon Martin came back to his senses, and ran to the bottom line to serve. The boss of his team, he still can't afford to provoke him.

The game continued and the Nets attacked.

In this round, the Nets played a simple pick-and-roll.

Seeing that Nash still let him shoot, Kidd didn't hesitate this time, pulled up from outside the three-point line, and threw the basketball in his hand.

Li Xuan was separated from Martin, and he didn't expect Kidd to be so decisive. He slowed down the defense and failed to interfere with the shot.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

15: 6!

The Mavericks quickly sent the baseline ball, Li Xuan received the pass, dribbled the ball to a position about half a meter outside the three-point line, pulled it up, chased and shot a three-pointer.

With a bang, strike with anger!
"It's a pity, the opportunity has come, and Xiao Li lacks some luck." Director Zhang explained regretfully.

If you had done it before, you would definitely say: "This attack is unreasonable, very unreasonable, and it is expected that we failed to score."

On the court, the Nets protected the backcourt rebounds and launched a defensive counterattack.

Seeing that his teammates failed to run out of opportunities, Kidd shot a three-pointer again.

With a bang, strike with anger!
Li Xuan rushed back to the basket and grabbed the defensive rebound, passed it to Nash to dribble and push forward, and by the way, he did not forget to glance at Kidd with contempt.

Co-author, you don't have any beeps in your heart, such a poor hit rate, it's not bad to get one, you really don't know yourself.

Moreover, Li Xuan saw from it that there was a problem with the Nets' offense, otherwise they would not have allowed "Ji Bu Gong" to shoot from outside the three-point line.

The Mavericks launched a defensive counterattack, Finley got a chance and hit a mid-range jumper.

17: 6!

In the following games, the Nets still couldn't solve the offensive problem and were overwhelmed by the Mavericks' defense.

On the other hand, the Mavericks played smoothly on the offensive end and blossomed in an all-round way. Every player scored and scored.

In this way, the first quarter ended, and the score displayed on the big screen was 31 to 17. The Mavericks led by 14 points and entered the second quarter.

During the break between festivals, the fans in the auditorium were very relaxed and comfortable, chatting with their friends about how to spend Christmas tonight, and their minds were not on the game at all.

This can't be blamed on them. I thought that the game would be quite fierce, and the winner could not be decided until the last moment.

But judging from the first quarter of the game, whether the Nets can hold on to the halftime is a question.

Not long after, the second quarter officially started.

The Mavericks are led by Finley and Jamison to play the rotation stage.

The Nets didn't pay that much attention. After all, they fell behind a lot. Kidd, Martin and others continued to play.

One up, Kidd and Martin played an exquisite coordination.

With the help of his teammates, Martin broke through to the basket, received Kidd's ground pass, rushed to the basket, and dunked the ball hard into the basket with both hands.

After landing, Martin's long-suppressed emotions completely exploded, and he yelled at the Mavericks bench.

"Li, this guy is provoking you! Show him some color later." Nash smiled and said to Li Xuan next to him.

"Steve, he yelled at the bench, not at me alone." Li Xuan responded.

"What you said makes sense. Later, we will join forces to show him off and let him know how good we are." Nash suggested.

"No problem, just what I want."

Li Xuan and Nash reached an agreement very readily.

The game continued and the Mavericks attacked.

Without Li Xuan and Nowitzki to restrain the Nets' defense, Finley and others played very hard. Only then did they realize the horror of the Nets' defense.

Taking advantage of the Mavericks' offensive failure, the Nets quickly launched a defensive counterattack, narrowing the point difference.

Old Nelson, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai bench on the bench, saw this situation, waved his hand, and sent Li Xuan and others to stabilize the situation.

After the substitution adjustment, the Mavericks' offense became smooth again.

Li Xuan quickly moved without the ball, with the help of his teammates' cover, got rid of the defense, ran beyond the three-point line to receive a wonderful pass from Nash, and hit a three-pointer with a knife in his hand.

There was an instant burst of warm applause and deafening cheers and shouts from the auditorium.

The fans thought that the Nets were just slow to warm up, and they didn't exert their strength until the second quarter. They were shocked, but seeing that the Mavericks quickly stabilized the situation after being the main force, their worries disappeared.

"Damn! Let me worry for nothing, the Nets are still a fancy thing."

This may be the voice of the fans watching this game at this time.

On the court, Kidd dribbled the ball across the half court and came to the three-point line to organize the offense.

Seeing that his teammates failed to run out of opportunities, the offense was paralyzed again.

Through a quarter of the game, Kidd saw that the only weak point of the Mavericks' defense was Nash, and there was no way to start at other positions.

Finley and Nowitzki's defense is barely good, not too good, but with an outside defensive gate and a defensive monster, it is very scary.

Without a player with outstanding scoring ability, it is very difficult to break through the Mavericks' defense.

Seeing that the attack time is running out, Kidd can only attack by himself, without any fancy breakthrough skills, and directly carries Nash to the penalty area.

Seeing Li Xuan coming up to help defend, he immediately looked for a passing space to pass the ball.

Since the ball was barely passed by Kidd, Martin adjusted after receiving the pass, then jumped up and shot.

The moment he shot, he found that his eyes were dark.

"Fuck! How did that guy come back so quickly!"

Clap!
Li Xuan, who came back from the defense, slapped the basketball, which didn't fly very high, out of the sideline.

"Good shot! Li Xuan came back very timely, and the timing was very good." Director Xu praised.

Director Zhang at the side could only nod in agreement. His job was robbed by Lao Xu, so he couldn't continue to comment.

The Nets sent the ball from the baseline. After receiving the pass, Kidd circled around the basket. He didn't find a good opportunity, and then passed the ball out.

After Jefferson received the ball, he was very happy and finally came to life.

It has been a long time since he was "favored" by Boss Ji, and this time he must perform well so as not to disappoint Boss Ji.

Seeing that there was not much time to attack, Jefferson immediately jumped up and shot against Finley's defense.

The basketball bounced off the front of the rim and fell straight into the net.

After the goal, Jefferson smiled at Kidd, as if asking for credit.

Seeing this, Kidd nodded to Jefferson calmly as a sign of encouragement.

Looking back, the Mavericks went on offense.

In this round, Nash and Li Xuan played a pick-and-roll, but failed.

Nash dribbled the ball to the high position on the right, smiled and said to Kidd in front of him: "Jason, do you think that you can't play the pick-and-roll and you can't cooperate with the lob, you are too small."

After speaking, Lao Na threw the ball to the basket.

Seeing this, Kidd secretly thought that it was not good, and turned his head to look at the basket.

Before that, Li Xuan, who was near the free throw line, suddenly squeezed Martin away, and quickly started cutting from the middle to the basket.

Although he couldn't get rid of Martin completely, it was not a big problem.

After Li Xuan rushed into the penalty area, he jumped with one foot, grabbed the basketball in the air with one hand, and made a slam dunk gesture.

At the same time, Martin behind him also jumped up, extending his arms to interfere.

After Martin flew in the air, he found that he couldn't reach the basketball at all, and suddenly felt that the guy's wingspan was too long.

Bang!
Li Xuan completed this explosive alley-oop.

Immediately afterwards, the bodies of the two flying in the air collided naturally.

Li Xuan stabilized his figure with the help of the basket, and then landed firmly on the ground.

Martin was not so lucky and fell directly to the bottom line.

"Beep! Player No. 6 of the Nets fouled with a thug, and the goal is effectively added as a penalty." The referee blew his whistle and gestured towards the technical table.

At the same time, there was thunderous applause in the auditorium, cheers and shouts resounded through the arena, and the warm atmosphere on the scene reached its peak again.

"And-One! This goal is so exciting. If it wasn't for Xiao Li's excellent physical fitness, this goal would not be scored. The degree of difficulty is too great." Director Zhang commented excitedly.

Amid the cheers of the fans, Li Xuan stood on the free throw line, received the referee's pass, and made a steady hit to add a penalty.

Seeing that the score was opened again, the head coach of the Nets, Scott, was extremely anxious.

"Be sure to hold on! Anyway, we are the overlord of the east, and we can't let others underestimate us!"
