Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 342 262【Change】

Compared with the first game of the Western Conference Finals, both sides played very smoothly in the first quarter of this game, especially the bayonet point. Unlike the previous game, the game went directly into the runaway mode from the beginning.

Everyone speculated that it might be because there was no Cameron Anthony in this game, so the bayonet was played more stably.

But in fact, that's not the case. Jiang Hao didn't deliberately change his style of play, and the reason why he didn't enter the runaway mode immediately after he came up was only because his teammates had better positions.

After all, for Jiang Hao, winning the game is of course the most important thing, he will not sacrifice the team for the sake of personal data.

This has been acknowledged this season.

Although the so-called bayonet is young and frivolous, his youth and frivolity are often accomplished without sacrificing the team.

The first climax of the game actually didn't happen until the 4th minute and 25th minute of the second quarter.

Because from this time on, Damian Lillard, the head star of the Portland Trail Blazers, suddenly entered the runaway mode.

He scored 9 points alone in just a few offensive possessions and helped the Portland Trail Blazers achieve an 11-point lead.

Frankly speaking, for the Dallas Mavericks, this is the first time they have fallen behind so much in the second quarter of the playoffs this season.

In the previous semifinal against the Golden State Warriors, they had a game that trailed by 15 points after the first quarter, but they quickly evened the gap at the beginning of the second quarter.

So, like tonight's situation, this playoffs is indeed the first time.

The atmosphere in the entire American Airlines Center Gymnasium was a little quiet at this time.

Rick Carlisle also requested a timeout at this time.

The team's defense inexplicably had problems, which allowed Damian Lillard to seize the opportunity and score consecutively.

"DeAndre, be tough, we don't need to treat guests like the protagonist, you are the strongest defender, in your territory, you should not allow others to exist"

During the timeout, Jiang Hao patted DeAndre Jordan on the shoulder. Damian Lillard just made a few breakthroughs. To be honest, in Jiang Hao's opinion, it was obviously caused by DeAndre Jordan's hesitation on the defensive end. .

After returning from the timeout, Rick Carlisle made personnel adjustments. Dirk Nowitzki replaced Harris Barnes, and Trevor Ariza replaced Luka Doncic.

The Dallas Mavericks lineup looks more defensive.

But no one expected that when the game continued, the Dallas Mavericks seemed to have a defensive lineup but opened up the situation on the offensive end.

That's right.

The point of the bayonet finally started to work.

Bayonet chose the same way as Damian Lillard, which is to break through.

Since you Damian Lillard can break through, then my bayonet is not a vegetarian.

Because the Portland Trail Blazers' internal strength itself is not high, this is tantamount to giving the bayonet the confidence to go all out to break through.

Collins, who had a conflict with the bayonet in the last game, did not dare to make excessive defensive actions against the bayonet at this time.

Because in the eyes of the Portland Trail Blazers, there is no Cameron Anthony in this game, and they have a chance to win.

If someone is sent off at this time, it is a typical example of giving you a chance and you are useless.

What's more, Collins is not the kind of insider with strong defensive ability.

Therefore, the breakthrough of the bayonet made him charge successfully, which is basically the kind that cannot be stopped.

Therefore, in just 3 minutes, the Bayonet led the Dallas Mavericks to retaliate to the Portland Trail Blazers with a 13:2, directly equalizing the difference.

The Blazers head coach also made new tactical instructions at this time.

That is the desperate blocking bayonet.

In other words, the bayonet's breakthrough seems hopeless. As long as he holds the ball, more than 2 Blazers defensive players will immediately appear beside him.

Stotts of course felt that many people were sent to defend the bayonet at this time.

Because Cameron Anthony is gone in this game, the Dallas Mavericks bayoneted a top scorer and blocked the bayonet, which is not a risky tactic.

Of course, for the bayonet, he can also resist.

The so-called real superstars cannot be completely restricted, especially superstars with extremely strong offensive capabilities like Bayonet.

When the bayonet himself was blocked, he also gritted his teeth and was ready to go all out, because he knew very well how important it was to the team to break through the blockade.

And just when the bayonet was about to go all out, Rick Carlisle reacted. It seemed that he didn't want the bayonet to go all out at this time.

So, a timeout, with Luka Doncic and Harris Barnes back on the court.

Meanwhile, DeAndre Jordan was replaced along with Dik Nowitzki.

No one expected that Rick Carlisle made a very bold tactical adjustment in this situation.

That is to replace a small lineup.

"Is this the Dallas Mavericks version of the Dead Five?"

Many people are a little surprised.

It is indeed unexpected that Rick Carlisle replaced such a lineup at this time.

But what I have to say is that once this lineup is played out, it will be enough for the Portland Trail Blazers to drink a pot.

Moreover, it must be admitted that this lineup can liberate bayonets. Although it is not the kind of all-round liberation, it is not like just now.

After all, Luka Doncic's playing could have shared the pressure of the bayonet holding the ball.

"Luca, speed up"

Jiang Hao understood Rick Carlisle's intentions and the essence of this lineup, so he immediately gave instructions to Luka Doncic.

To be honest, they have used this lineup in the regular season, and the effect is not bad.

Luka Doncic nodded. As a talented new star and a point guard, his ability to read the game is naturally nothing to say.

When the game started, the Dallas Mavericks suddenly accelerated, and people broke through and discovered that the Dallas Mavericks' style of play at this moment is a bit similar to the Houston Rockets.

That is the extreme pursuit of rhythm.

After Luka Doncic advances to the frontcourt with the ball, the first thing to do is to shoot. If there is no good opportunity, it is to pass the ball immediately.

The bayonet was completely reduced to the engine of the second attack. He no longer forced a breakthrough, but pretended to break through to attract the defense, and then made a breakthrough to score the ball.

In this case, the ability of Trevor Ariza, a top 3D player, has been tapped.

In just 2 minutes, Trevor Ariza hit 3 three-pointers.

It's no wonder that Ariza's touch tonight has nothing to say, he didn't disappoint the bayonet.
