Chapter 321 From No. 2 Defense to No. 3 Position
Jason Kidd VS Andre Miller, the competition between two old players, rich game experience is the characteristic of old players, as a point guard, the importance of experience is self-evident.

Kidd and Tyson Chandler had a pick-and-roll, and the latter went down immediately after the pick-and-roll.Ying Xiong made an off-ball screen for Nowitzki and withdrew from outside the 3-point line to wait for an opportunity.

Kidd's passing skills are definitely at the master level. A very clever pass was given to Nowitzki. After the latter comfortably received the ball, he made a soft shot-almost luck, and came out of the basket.

Marcus Camby's backcourt rebounding is solid, even at his age.

For the Trail Blazers, the offensive end is to play Aldridge's back.

Aldridge played Nowitzki with his back, but he didn't have the height advantage.Due to age and injuries, Nowitzki's footsteps are slower than in previous seasons, but he is serious and focused in the playoffs and the opponent is not a smart breakthrough type that he finds difficult, so he defends very well and does not give the opponent a good offensive opportunities.

Ying Xiong just followed his opponent Matthews closely, not giving the opponent an opportunity.For a player with strong shooting ability, any opportunity may bring unbearable consequences. This is in the playoffs, and it must be penny-pinching.

Both sides were very serious and defended very tightly, so that both teams got nothing in the first 2 minutes, and the score was still 0:0.

Ying Xiong didn't feel very nervous. This is already his third NBA season, coupled with his experience in the national team, he can face all kinds of intensity and types of games calmly.He just felt very excited. This kind of playoff game where each other does not want to give up, and it is either you die or I live, makes his blood boil.

When the game reached 3 minutes and 23 seconds, Kidd suddenly made a cold shot from outside the 3-point line, which made the opposing Andre Miller and the fans grow their mouths in surprise.No one could have imagined that he would shoot a 3-pointer in this situation.

In, actually in!In the case that the two teams did not gain at the beginning, it was Kidd's 3-pointer that broke the deadlock.

In the league, "Basic does not attack, Na does not defend" is used to describe Kidd's offense. He is a triple-double king and a master of assists, but offense, especially long-range shooting, has never been his specialty.In this stalemate, he helped the team break the scoring drought in the least proficient way.

Kidd is one of the most experienced players in the playoffs in this matchup, and he is also a typical playoff player.

After Kidd made a 3-pointer, Matthews came out with the cover and wanted to return one, but Ying Xiong followed closely. When the opponent jumped up to shoot a 3-pointer, he stretched out his ape arm and interfered with him. .

Under Ying Xiong's interference, Matthews' 3-pointer was substandard, and he almost didn't even touch the basket.Nowitzki received the rebound and handed it to Kidd to advance.

Kidd dribbles over and organizes at the top of the arc.

After all, the Mavericks’ style of play is overall. Although the organizer is Kidd, and most of the ball is distributed in his hands, other players did not wait for the ball, but kept covering, running, and cutting, making the opponent’s defense very difficult. It's hard to lock everyone down completely.

With the help of Tyson Chandler's solid off-ball screen, Yingxiong got an open opportunity, and Kidd's pass was sent quickly.After he received the ball, he decisively shot a 3-point jumper—the ball swirled in the air and shot into the net in an extremely precise direction.

Yingxiong's 3-pointer hit! 6:0, the Mavericks lead!

Ying Xiong's 3-pointer made him more confident.He was originally a player with the ball > without the ball. When he opened up long shots without the ball, his threat was very great.Often this time is also the time when he is the scariest.Of course, in this Mavericks team, the coach will not let him attack completely freely, but for the team, the outside 3D player throws open, which is a good signal to occupy the situation.

Ying Xiong was replaced by Peja with 3 minutes and 29 seconds left in the first quarter.In the first quarter of the game, the Mavericks led by 4 points.

The strength gap between the two teams is not that big. No matter how bad the Blazers are, they are also the sixth-ranked team in the West. There are no superstars in the team, but the overall strength is very good.

The offensive efficiency of the two teams is not high. More often than not, under the strict defense of positional warfare, frequent strikes have become the norm.

Yingxiong replaced Marion with 2 minutes and 6 seconds left in the second quarter.Since Terry is still on the court, he naturally plays the No. 45 position.

Ying Xiong is facing the opponent's powerful small forward - Gerald Wallace.

Gerald Wallace spent most of his career with the Bobcats, where he was at his peak.After being traded to the Trail Blazers in the middle of this season, his state has declined slightly compared to when he was in the Bobcats.He is an athletic small forward with outstanding physical fitness. He has a strong body and is good at defending, rebounding, and hitting the basket. His shortcomings are also obvious. He is not good at shooting, his offense is a bit rough, and his upper limit is not high.

Confronting this type of player is nothing new for Xiangxiong.He hopes and is not afraid of confrontation.Matching up with various types of players also allowed him to improve his defense faster.

In the Blazers, Gerald Wallace has more roles on the offensive end than Matthews.Unlike Matthews' pure 3D, he has a certain offensive power with the ball, and he is also good at fast breaks.

Ying Xiong and Gerald Wallace faced each other. The two refused to give in to each other. The physical confrontation was fierce. Without the ball, they began to fight for positions and defend the ball.

From the bottom of his heart, Gerald Wallace looked down on a yellow flank like Ying Xiong.In his opinion, such a type of player cannot succeed in the NBA, because in this position, there is no absolute talent, and it is too difficult to occupy a place among the talented American players.Because Asians lack talent.Of course, he didn't know that Ying Xiong's talent was far better than the "American player" he called.

The confrontation between Ying Xiong and Gerald Wallace made the fans hooked.The collision between the muscles full of masculinity, the constant collision, and the constant wrestling make people excited.

Gerald Wallace received a pass from Brad Miller. Seeing that Yingxiong was not close enough, he feinted, but the opponent was still not shaken. At this time, the shooting rhythm was also lost, and the shooting percentage was higher. If there is no guarantee, he directly chooses the right hand to break through.

Gerald Wallace's breakthrough lacks changes. Except for an acceleration change when starting, most of the rest are straight-line breakthroughs.Such a breakthrough, in a one-on-one situation, unless the opponent's body is not as good as his own, it is difficult to break through.

Ying Xiong's defense against him is to give some shooting space, but not completely let go, mainly to prevent him from breaking through.Before the series, they had studied the detailed information and videos of the Trail Blazers players many times. Regarding Gerald Wallace's offensive habits and characteristics, he was like a mirror in his heart.

Ying Xiong's defense is very tough, always blocking in front of the opponent, preventing him from rushing to the basket.As a result, Gerald Wallace's breakthrough was blocked, and his offensive skills were not rich enough. After being forced to stop the ball, he wanted to find someone to pass the ball and wanted to make a strong shot himself. He hesitated and was blown away.

Ying Xiong's excellent defense caused the opponent to make a mistake. In the direct confrontation with such a powerful forward as Gerald Wallace, he gained the upper hand.

The fans are very emotional. Seeing that their team's players took advantage, they naturally cheered excitedly.
