Chapter 410 Get applause from the opponent and easily enter the second round
Parsons, the main scorer of the Mavericks' bench, was restricted, and the Mavericks fell into a scoring drought again, while the Pelicans were attacking wildly.

Felton and Stoudemire pick and roll, and Stoudemire is divided again. After Stoudemire got the ball, Gobert came out to interfere, and Stoudemire missed the shot!

Although Xiao Si can still get averaging 10.8 points in the season and 54.3 % of the hit rate, most of them are obtained under the basket. Xiao Si is still very strong when facing the center of the center. However, in the face of the long-arm frame center like Gobel, it is not possible to pull it to the outer rays. There are only 14 %, and the position of the free throw line is only 15 %.
And Stoudemire's biggest problem is that his injury caused his defense to slow down. In the past, he had an offense to lay the groundwork, and his defense could almost make up for it with offense. Now that the offense is no longer good, the problem of defense suddenly became prominent. He can't defend anyone in the low post!

Antetokounmpo took the rebound and accelerated!The Mavericks started to retreat after taking another shot, but when Antetokounmpo rushed to the penalty area, Aminu unconsciously dodged out of the way. ! !
Here Felton missed a pick-and-roll shot, Gobert got a rebound, and Barea quickly led the frontcourt!

Picking and rolling with Gobert in the middle, Barea rushed to the left, Gobert went down, and the Mavericks switched directly. Barea passed Stoudemire too easily. After reaching the basket, Parsons actually came to double-team.

But Gobert took the rebound directly on Stoudemire's head. After Gobert took the rebound, he fell into a double-team, and then sent Bradley to the outside line, and it was empty again!Continue to shoot, but still miss, continue to fight for rebounds, this time Antetokounmpo got it again!

Antetokounmpo takes the ball and throws it!This is a technique he has practiced recently, but no, but Gobert rebounded and made it again with a tie-breaker!Barea at the top of the arc, Barea took the ball and threw it for a three-pointer!Finally in!
TNT commented that Barkley couldn't stand it anymore: "The Mavericks lost rebounds, how can they win the game!"

O'Neal looked at Barkley and joked: "You don't think the Mavericks have a chance to win, do you?"

"I mean, if the Mavericks lose rebounds like this, they will be swept away. They will win at least one game. If it's not too ugly, they used to be champions!" Barkley said with a frown.

And Cuban looked at the game on the field and covered his head helplessly. It was really ugly. In the 14-15 season in his previous life, the Mavericks were at least eliminated 4:1, and they still won a game.

The current weakness of the Mavericks is not just a matter of space. Now their inside defense and rebounding are extremely poor. The starting lineup is better. "Boxer" Chandler can still fight. Although Nowitzki is not a rebounding expert, but with his height, it is not difficult to protect rebounds!

Stoudemire averaged only 14 rebounds per game with the Mavericks in the 15-3.7 season, 1.2 offensive rebounds, Charlie Villanueva only had 2.4 rebounds, and 0.5 offensive rebounds. On the other hand, Gobert averaged 26 rebounds per game, 9.5 offensive rebounds, and 3.3 blocks in 2.3 minutes of playing time for the Pelicans!Antetokounmpo can grab 6.7 rebounds, 1.5 offensive boards, and 1.1 blocks!
The Mavericks' bench was completely overwhelmed by the Pelicans. After 4 minutes of playing, the bench opened the point difference to 19 points. After the Mavericks paused, they replaced the starters, while Presti replaced Curry and Thompson. At this time, the lineup on the field became Curry, Thompson, Middleton, Paul George, Davis!
In positional warfare, Paul George acted as a point forward!When Paul George was in the Pacers in his previous life, he was caught by the offensive and defensive organization. Although Paul George’s organization is not top-notch, it is also a first-tier level. Paul George stands at the top of the arc, which no one dares to let go, while Middleton, Thompson, and Curry run interspersed, and Davis stands in the low position!

Curry ran to the bottom corner, Davis blocked Rondo, forcing Chandler to defend Curry, but Curry shot immediately after receiving the ball, and the ball went in steadily. On the defensive end, the Pelicans still emptied Rondo as always, forcing Ellis to take a three-pointer and double-team Nowitzki!

After Nowitzki was double-teamed, Rondo on the right side, Rondo still didn't dare to shoot, and then passed it to Parsons. Parsons was defended by Paul George, and he didn't go in, and then passed it to Ellis, and reorganized the fight again!

Seeing that it was going to be 24 seconds, facing Thompson who was two steps away, he forcibly rushed in, but did not pass, and made an emergency stop to shoot!Under Thompson's interference, the shot missed!This ball is the portrayal of the entire Mavericks offense!At the end of the first half, the Pelicans have widened the point difference to 22 points!
In the second half, Presti stepped on the veterans to let them feel the game. Carter was old and strong and hit two three-pointers from the outside. Boozer also scored with a hook from the basket.

This dunk directly ignited the passion of the Pelicans at home. Carter deserves to be an "alien" who contributes one of the top ten dunks every year!
The Mavericks were also completely discouraged by this dunk. The gap between the two teams was too great. In the end, the Pelicans beat the Dallas Mavericks 124:99, and the series ended 2:0.

这场比赛鹈鹕6人上双，库里拿下了28分6助攻，汤普森砍下了15分4篮板，保罗乔治拿下了28分7篮板，戴维斯17分12篮板，字母哥15分6篮板，戈贝尔10分7篮板！

But the Mavericks were much more miserable, with 4 players in double figures, Monta Ellis scored 23 points in exchange for 24 shots, Nowitzki only had 10 points, 14 of 4, and the Pelicans' defense was very effective!
At the press conference after the game, Presti said with a smile: "The Mavericks are very good. If they meet other teams, they may be able to advance, but it will be difficult to meet us!"

The reporter then asked: "I heard that you and Cuban are good friends. You won so many points against the Mavericks. Are you afraid that Cuban will settle accounts with you?"

Presti smiled, spread his hands and said: "I'm already planning to give him a big gift, not only will he not blame me, but he will also thank me!"

"What is that? Is it convenient for Fang to disclose it?" The reporter asked curiously.

"Help him refer to rookies," Presti said confidently.

The reporter's eyes lit up immediately when he heard it, and he took photos frantically. This is really big news. It seems that the Mavericks are not far from rising, and the fans of the Mavericks are so excited. They have completely forgotten the slaughter of them by the Pelicans. They happily commented on the Internet: "Presti is mighty, from today I am a Presti fan!"

And when the Pelicans were a guest in Dallas, the Mavericks fans were even more entertaining, but when Presti came out the crowd applauded!When Presti shook hands with Cuban before the game, Cuban said with a smile: "I don't have this treatment now."

Presti laughed and said, "Haha, if I don't help you, will the fans watching here swallow me up?"

In the third game, Prestiyan used the previous tactics. Presti is like this. As long as the tactics work, he will basically not change, unless the opponent cracks it, and this year the Mavericks have changed.

The Mavericks' starter Rondo was taken off and replaced by Felton to increase the space. Parsons returned to the starting lineup again. The Mavericks intend to let Rondo control the rhythm of the substitute in this game.

But after Felton started, the Mavericks' backcourt team became "thousands of people stabbed". Even Thompson's breakthrough ability can be surpassed in one step.

In this game, Presti still used Green as a point forward. Curry, Thompson, Paul George interspersed and ran, Davis screened, rolled down, and made a mid-range shot!When Rondo was in the starting lineup before, he could occasionally defend Curry. Curry often needed to use cover to get rid of Rondo. After all, Rondo was a first-defense player, but after replacing Felton, Curry did not need pick-and-rolls.
In the rotation stage, Antetokounmpo and Gobert still dominated the inside, and the Mavericks couldn't compete inside. In the third quarter, the Pelicans turned the game into garbage time again.
In the end, the Pelicans once again beat the Mavericks by 18 points, and the series was 3:0!Everyone knows that the Mavericks will be swept.

And it was true in the fourth game. The Mavericks started to collapse from the first quarter. This time, Presti trained the lineup later, so that Gobert could hook at the basket and let Antetokounmpo take a three-pointer!

After these two stabilizations, it is very meaningful for the Pelicans. In the previous life, Gobert's hook in the Jazz was not stable, but even so, he averaged 14 points per game and only used 7.7 shots!
And Antetokounmpo, let alone a dry pull, catches and shoots such a three-pointer, even if he is stable and open for three-pointers, he will become unstoppable!In the 18-19 season of the previous life, Antetokounmpo’s three-pointers were only 25%, but he scored 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.3 blocks. His shooting percentage at the basket reached 76.8%. Yanran is the new era of O’Neal, and he is extremely dominant at the basket!

Think about how terrifying Antetokounmpo will become even if he stabilizes to 35% of the three-pointers!
In the fourth game, the Pelicans defeated the Mavericks 105:99. After the game, the fans said with a smile: "Presti worked hard for Cuban, a friend, and let Antetokounmpo go crazy. 12 of 1 three-pointers is no one!"

In fact, the game was almost over for Presti. The biggest lead was 24 points. As a result, Antetokounmpo made a three-pointer, and the opponent came up with a fast break, chasing him back. But it was worth it, at least Antetokounmpo was not afraid to throw a three-pointer!
Fans have long been accustomed to the strength of the Pelicans, but this series still showed a lot of things that caught their eyes, such as Green, his support, his fast break, his passion, especially his height of 201cm.People are discussing how big a contract Green can get next season!
Of course, there is also Antetokounmpo's dominance over the Mavericks' bench in the low post. He really hits casually, and he is dunked. There is no other way but fouls, but Antetokounmpo's free throw percentage is 76%, which is basically equal to sending points. People see O'Neal in Antetokounmpo!

And Middleton's performance is also impressive. His off-ball running, shooting speed, and shooting percentage are all very good. In these four games, he can score 9.2 points and hit 48.2%.The three-point shooting rate reached 41.2%, and people are very sure of one thing, as long as he is given the right to shoot, his data will be at least 5 points higher than it is now!The key is that he is about to enter the contract year, which makes many teams focus on him.

Compared with the performance of the Pelicans players, the performance of the Mavericks players is appalling. Compared with the performance of the regular season, none of them is normal.

The core Nowitzki averaged only 18.9 points per game and shot 44.5% from the field. In fact, this is not his fault. Presti's double-teaming of him forced him to play the most uncomfortable defense.

The core two, Monta Ellis, averaged only 19.8 points per game and shot 42.1%. He was completely restrained. Presti defended him more decisively.

The rich and handsome Parsons was even worse. He was completely defended by Paul George. He averaged only 8.9 points per game and his shooting percentage was only 38.2%. After the game, Cuban immediately chatted with Presti and asked for advice on Parsons.

Presti said with a smile: "I suggest you give Parsons more opportunities next season, let him play good numbers, and then trade him in the mid-term!"

Cuban was stunned for a moment, then nodded, he didn't have to believe others, but he had to listen to Presti's suggestion, this is currently the best person in the NBA!What's more, he is not afraid that Presti will cheat him, because it will not benefit him at all. Competitors, come on, Presti is from Dynasty!

On the other side, the 2th Trail Blazers and the 2th Grizzlies are fighting very fiercely. The current battle is 4:1. The Trail Blazers backcourt Lillard, Matthews and Aldridge, against Conliga and the black and white bears, each has its own advantages, but Presti knows that the Grizzlies will definitely win the next two games. His performance is astonishing, his shooting percentage is only 40.2%, and his three-point shooting percentage is even worse, only 16%. Lillard's height is the biggest limitation for him to become a superstar.
