I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 90
On October 10, the Dallas Mavericks started their second away game, flying non-stop to Oakland to play against the Golden State Warriors.

This season, the Warriors' lineup has undergone tremendous changes. In the summer, they lost two generals, Arenas and Jamison, and the team management did not make any reinforcements. High draft pick.

Tonight's game is also Jamison's first answer to Oracle Arena against his old club.

Due to the match against the underdogs, the old Nelson began to conduct "crazy experiments" and adjusted the starting lineup for tonight's game, allowing Li Xuan to play the starting small forward and Nowitzki to play the role of center.

This kind of attempt can only be made by the "mad scientist" Nelson, who pursues the ultimate fast break and ignores the weaknesses of the defensive end.

The offensive rhythm of the Warriors and the Mavericks is very similar. They are both offensive-oriented teams, so the two teams dedicated a hearty offensive battle to the fans.

After the game started, Richardson of the Warriors used the cover of his teammates to hit a mid-range jumper and scored the first goal of the game.

It didn't take long for the Mavericks to fight back. After Nash and Nowitzki picked and rolled, they broke through and assisted Nowitzki to hit a mid-range jumper.

In the next few rounds, both sides scored points.

The Mavericks' offense is smoother here, after all, all five of their players have shooting ability.

The Warriors relied on their leading scorer, Richardson, to score.

After a few minutes of the game, the offensive rhythm of the two teams became faster and faster, as if they had completely given up on defense and focused on offense.

Due to the fast pace of the game, the number of offensive and defensive rounds has greatly increased, and the number of shots taken by the two teams has also increased, and the score has also increased rapidly.

At the end of the first quarter, the score on the big screen was 30:34, and the Mavericks entered the second quarter with a 4-point lead.

In this section of the game, the Mavericks took 28 shots, while the Warriors took 25 shots.

In this era of defense winning championships, the number of shots in a single quarter is quite high.

After the start of the second quarter, the Mavericks stepped up their defense, allowing the Warriors to frequently hit the outside line.

The Mavericks took advantage of the Warriors' missed shot and quickly played a defensive counterattack.

Because there are big centers in the Warriors lineup, the retreat speed is very slow, so it is basically a four-on-five situation.

Playing more and playing less, the Mavericks played very handily, seizing the opportunities of open or misplaced positions and scoring consecutively.

As long as the players on the Mavericks field heard the sound of the Warriors players shooting and hitting the iron, they seemed to hear the horn of charge.

Nowitzki protected the backboard and immediately found Nash to pass the ball.

After Nash received the ball, the Warriors' retreating players immediately pressed forward, interrupting the rhythm of the Mavericks' fast break.

The most taboo thing about playing fast break is being forced to stop by the opponent. Obviously, Nash would not make such a low-level mistake, and directly sent a long pass through the audience.

The pass was very precise. Li Xuan, who rushed to the free throw line, received the basketball, took three big steps, and easily smashed the dunk.

Looking back, after the Warriors simply passed the ball, Richardson pulled up from outside the three-pointer and threw the ball.

Bang bang!Fight with anger!
Nowitzki hit the ball. After all, Dampier, who is known as the "second center in the West", has a good ability to grab offensive rebounds.

Li Xuan grabbed the basketball, passed it to Nash to advance, and launched a defensive counterattack.

The game has reached the second quarter, and the Warriors naturally noticed the core figure of the Mavericks' fast break.

Therefore, a Warriors player was specially arranged to follow Nash anytime and anywhere.

But Nash is not the only one on the Mavericks who can handle the ball. Except for Li Xuan, the other three have a certain ability to handle the ball.

Nash passed the ball quickly. After receiving the ball, Finley took a step and passed the ball immediately without sticking to the ball.

Li Xuan, who ran to a 45-degree angle outside the right three-point line, received the pass, immediately pulled up, chased and shot a three-pointer.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

On the sidelines, Old Nelson applauded with a smile on his face. This is the most extreme fast break. It takes no more than 10 seconds from the start of the attack to the end of the attack.

I have to admit that the fast offense and defense of the two teams made the fans on the scene very refreshing. There were deafening cheers and shouts in the Oracle Arena from time to time.

This kind of fast-paced competition is like a fish in water for a master of chaos like Li Xuan, allowing him to fully display his strength.

Especially in the second half of the second quarter, Li Xuan basically supported the Mavericks' defensive system.

Not only did he retreat to the basket many times to help defend and send out a "hot pot set meal", but once Richardson, who was chasing and defending a fast break, directly sent a chasing pegboard cap.

At the end of the halftime game, the score on the big screen was 48:62, and the Mavericks entered the second half with a 14-point lead.

After the intermission, the third quarter began.

As soon as the second half of the game started, the Mavericks changed their offensive and defensive strategies and adjusted their personnel, improving their defensive strength and physical confrontation, which made the Warriors uncomfortable for a while and made mistakes one after another.

The Mavericks took advantage of these mistakes and quickly counterattacked, opening the point difference to about 20 points in one fell swoop.

If the Warriors want to chase points, they can only rely on shooting three-pointers.

As the Mavericks strengthened their perimeter defense, the Warriors' three-point shooting percentage was very low. The Mavericks took this opportunity to speed up their offensive rhythm, played fast defensive counterattacks, and scored successively.

Not only did the Warriors fail to recover the score, but the point difference became wider and wider, and the fourth quarter game abruptly turned into garbage time.

Li Xuan didn't get a chance to play during the garbage time, and some people questioned him before that he scored points during the garbage time.

Li Xuan doesn't care what others think of him at all, he just obeys the coach's arrangement, he plays when the coach arranges him to play, and rests when the coach tells him to rest on the bench.

During the garbage time, the fringe players of the two teams finally got the chance to play and showed their talents to the fullest. The game was inextricably linked.

With the sound of piercing beeps, the battle came to an end.

In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Warriors 121:102, winning three consecutive victories.

首次作为首发出场的李轩，在上场的30分钟内，投篮15投11中，其中三分球5投3中，罚球两罚全中，得到27分7篮板3助攻1抢断4盖帽的全面数据。

Just looking at his performance in the last few games, Li Xuan can definitely be regarded as one of the top three rookies in the 03 class.

Anthony, who wanted to make things happen, was a little sad. He finally got a double-double of 28 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Nuggets to victory over the Eastern Conference champion Nets last season, but encountered a big explosion from James.

James, who had endured two games, finally broke out. He no longer gave Ricky Davis face, grabbed the ball directly, scored 32 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists to beat the underdog Hornets, ending the team's two-game winning streak. Failed, successfully scheduled tomorrow's front page headlines.

After the first three games of the regular season, the outside world is already discussing the battle between Li Xuan and James for the best rookie.

Li Xuan doesn't know anything about these external things, and at this stage he just wants to concentrate on playing his own game well.

After playing the Warriors back to back, the Mavericks got two days of rest, and the next game will be at home against the Timberwolves with the "three-headed monster".
