Chapter 320 The first round of the playoffs - Mavericks VS Trail Blazers

BJ时间4月17日9:30，2010-2011赛季的NBA季后赛首轮的一场比赛，在达拉斯小牛队的主场——美国航线中心球馆拉开了帷幕。本场比赛对阵的双方是达拉斯小牛队和波特兰开拓者队。

Since it is the playoffs, there are a large number of fans at the home court of the American Airlines Center, and the attendance rate is naturally much better than that of the regular season.In fact, the attendance rate of the Mavericks in the regular season is also good. After all, the team has been winning.In the NBA, except for the home courts in big cities like Madison Square Garden and Staples Center, the attendance rate of other home courts is closely related to the home team's winning percentage.After all, not many people are willing to pay to watch the home team's poor game. This is competitive sports, and watching the home team being ravaged by the opponent is really unsightly.

Ying Xiong is very excited about the upcoming competition.Although this is not the first time he has participated in the playoffs, it is the first time he has started in the playoffs (the coach has announced the starting list), and it is the first playoff game at home.This has a special meaning. A good start is half the battle. To win at home first, for the series, there will be a certain psychological advantage.

The Mavericks have many veterans and rich experience in the playoffs, so there is no tension in the team.Even for a rookie contract player like Ying Xiong, this is not the first time he has participated in the playoffs.Careful people will find that the veterans are much more serious and devoted than they were in the regular season, even in the pre-match practice.

Experience is the advantage of the Mavericks, which is beyond the reach of the rival Trail Blazers.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Mavericks at home is: center - Tyson Chandler, power forward - Dirk Nowitzki, small forward - Sean Marion, shooting guard - Ying Xiong, organization Guard - Jason Kidd.

The starting lineup of the Trail Blazers in the away game is: center - Marcus Camby, power forward - LaMarcus Aldridge, small forward - Gerald Wallace, shooting guard - Wesley Matthews, point guard -- Andre Miller.

In the regular season, Ying Xiong started 74 games, almost half of which were played at home.He is very used to the team's appearance ceremony.But when he starts in the playoffs, he will still be excited, even with tears in his eyes.I imagined that I have been stumbled since I entered the league, experienced a lot, and walked a lot of tortuous roads, until now I am the starter in a team that has always been contending for the championship.Although I am not yet successful, but compared to before, it is really much better.

Before the start of this season, who dares to assert that Ying Xiong can secure a starting position in the Mavericks?Even Ying Xiong's die-hard fans would lack confidence.From being traded by the Bucks to playing as a substitute for the Mavericks, then playing a false starter, and finally becoming the main force, all the way, the arduous training and adjustments experienced during the process, only the person involved can best understand.

Compared with the Mavericks' starting lineup, the Blazers' starting lineup is more average in age, but the average age is not much younger.Aldridge is naturally the most threatening player to the Mavericks in the starting lineup. This 211cm tall power forward has excellent post-up singles skills, soft turns, mid-range jumper feel, and comprehensive offensive skills. He is an excellent offense in the league. Type power forward.Unlike Nowitzki, Aldridge's shooting range is much smaller, and the mid-range is not as good as Nowitzki's benchmark.But he also has his own advantages. Because he is younger, his feet move faster, and he has slightly better defense on the defensive end.

Ying Xiong is facing off against Wesley Matthews, a shooting guard with a height of 196cm.Matthews participated in the 2009 draft, but was not selected. After getting a chance in the Jazz, he was poached by the Portland Trail Blazers for 5 years and 3253 million US dollars.As a No. 196 player with a height of 100cm and a weight of more than 2kg, Matthews is physically stronger and more powerful than the average No. 2 player.His position in the team is very similar to that of Ying Xiong in the Mavericks. He is what people often call a "3D player".His main job in the team is to open up the space, shoot + defend.

The former Trail Blazers boss, Brandon Roy, known as the "Yellow Mamba", had two menisci removed from his knees this season, and on December 2010, 12, due to infinite soreness in his knees. truce.Even on January 31, 2011, he completed the arthroscopic repair of both knees, but his state after his comeback is not the same as last season.In the regular season this season, he only played 1 games, and his average data plummeted to 18 points per game. There are signs that a generation of talents has been ruined by injuries.

During the period when Roy was injured, Matthews seized the opportunity and gradually stabilized his starting position in the team.This season, he averaged 33.6 minutes per game, 15.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.1 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers. He shot 44.9% from the field, 3% from the three-point range, and 40.7% from the free throw line.

应雄的常规赛数据则是场均上场25.5分钟的，场均得到14.3分5.5个篮板2.7次助攻1.7次抢断0.8个盖帽0.5个失误，投篮命中率是46.5%，3分命中率是40.1%，罚球命中率是80.5%。

The data comparison between the two is very close, and Ying Xiong is more efficient and more comprehensive.But in general, the two are players of the same level.

Ying Xiong doesn't think that he and Matthews are the same type of players. He is not doing what he is best at in the team.I have a very strong ball-holding offensive ability, and the team made me a 3D player. From his understanding of Matthews, the opponent's ball-holding ability is far inferior to his own.

What Ying Xiong wanted was not to prove how good he was with the ball, but to let everyone see that even if he was also a 3D player, he was much better than Matthews.Of course, the team's victory naturally comes first.

The game is about to start amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene.

The jump balls in the center circle were Tyson Chandler of the Mavericks and Marcus Camby of the Trail Blazers.As the second pick of the "96 Golden Generation", Camby has not really played his own strength due to injuries.In the early days of his career, he was plagued by injuries, until he went to the Nuggets, and finally played out and got the best defensive player.Defensive rebounding and blocking shots are Camby's housekeeping skills, but as he gets older, his state has declined a lot.

The centers of the two teams are both typical defensive centers. Coincidentally, they are both No. 96 picks (Camby was No. 01 in [-] and Chandler was No. [-] in [-]).

However, Tyson Chandler has the advantage of being young after all. Facing Camby, who is 8 years older than him, he is in much better physical condition, and his reaction speed is the least of the opponent. Teammate Marion.Marion passed the ball to Kidd, and the Mavericks took control of the first wave of offensive ball.
