Chapter 1243 It Rained Three Points in Dallas (Part [-])
"What does it mean to you to be the best coach in the first month of your coaching career~?!"

Lan Shengli, who was leading a team training at the American Airlines Center in Dallas and was preparing for the game against the Mavericks at night, was asked by a reporter who came to the arena.

"It means a lot. I am slowly being recognized by this league. I am moving towards a higher level~ My team and I are eager to prove~ We still have a lot to do~!!"

Lan Shengli replied.

"Facing the defending champion and the team that beat you in the playoffs last season, how did the team prepare~?!"

The reporter continued to ask.

"Obviously, the Mavericks had a wonderful and legendary playoff run last season. They were the underdogs in every series, but they always won and won the final championship. One point tells me that the Mavericks are a very resilient team. If you want to beat such a team, you have to put in your best efforts in the game and try to do your best~ You can’t always There is a slack situation~!!"

Lan Shengli replied.

"Playing against the Mavericks, I don't think I need to say anything more. I believe everyone should have heard a hypothesis that has been said many times. If we had no interference from off-court factors, would we have defeated the Mavericks and continued to kill the Mavericks? Entering the finals, although such an assumption is meaningless, but what I want to say is that it is more practical to make up for the regrets in our hearts~!!"

Not only did Lan Shengli answer the reporter's questions with a firm expression, but he also sent a signal to the players in the locker room that this game was not an ordinary regular season! !

"I believe in everyone, tonight, we are going to win~!!"

"3, 2, 1~!!"

"Clippers~!!!!"

After the heroic and high-spirited shouts, the game began.

Here the Clippers showed a very focused game from the start.

Billups got the ball on the outside, and Love set a set screen for George while pretending to be ready to receive the ball near the free throw line.

George got rid of Marion's defense, received a pass from Billups, and directly hit a three-pointer from the top arc.

A very classic and practical positional offense belonging to the Clippers.

"Through real and fake screens, by opening up space to create shooting space, this guy Bru is really doing a good job at this point, but don't try to beat me with three-pointers, you are not good at three-pointers The team, our Mavericks, is what it is~"

Here Mavericks coach Carlisle thought.

"Last season's playoffs, George's performance was not very good, especially the problem of unstable long-range shots from the outside, which was infinitely magnified by the Mavericks. The series only shot 23.6%, which is indeed too low~"

Lan Shengli thought to himself.

The Mavericks quickly attacked here.

After Kidd and Nowitzki cooperated in the pick-and-roll, Nuo Tianwang, who bounced towards the outside line, immediately made a three-pointer after receiving Kidd's pass~! !
"Clang clang~!!"

The ball missed a lot and went out with a strike.

Old comrades still need more game time to find their status.

But once Nowitzki finds his status, the Clippers will have "good fruit to eat".

"Follow up~!!, don't give Dirk shooting space, let him break through, your defensive footsteps can keep up with him, yes~!!"

Here Lan Shengli reminds Love.

For Love's defensive choice this time, Lan Shengli seems very dissatisfied.

Here Jordan received the rebound and gave it to Billups.

The Clippers quickly attacked again.

The same tactic, but this time Harden used Love's cover to come out.

Carter defended very tightly, never leaving Harden.

Harden didn't dribble too much. Seeing that Carter was so close to him, he leaned over to kill the basket.

It is false that Harden breaks through and hits the basket, but it is true to attract double-teams and pass the ball.

I saw that Marion gave up the outside defense and came back to double-team Harden. Seeing this, Harden immediately gave the ball to George on the outside.

George, who received the ball from the wing, aimed at the basket with a very confident and firm expression, and made another three-pointer.

"Swipe~!!!"

The ball went hollow again.

Who would have thought that George, the Clippers' most unstable outside shot, would hit two three-pointers in a row after the opening.

"Could it be a tactic specially designed by Bruce for George~?!, or is it just a coincidence~?! George made two consecutive three-pointers from the outside, which is too unconventional~!!"

Seeing this, Carlisle thought to himself.

"Let's wait and see~, I don't believe that George can still make a shot~!!"

Carlisle continued thinking.

"Okay~, you have to shoot with such confidence. After more than 20 games, you have proved that you can become a player who can play a more important role on the offensive end~!!, your outside shooting stability is getting better and better. Well, you have to prove with actual actions that you can become an all-round small forward with excellent offense and defense~!!"

Lan Shengli also secretly encouraged George.

While talking here, the Mavericks' offense quickly started.

Carter made a sudden back run from the baseline and got rid of Harden's defense. Carter, holding the ball, jumped up, ready to "study in the air".

But Jordan, who was guarding the basket, would not allow Carter to do this.

I saw little Jordan flying up, his arms stretched straight, forming a human wall in the air.

Although Carter was able to leap over the French center of more than 20 meters, it is impossible to leap over Jordan now.

After the mid-air collision, Carter threw the ball towards the basket, which was completely irrelevant.

Jordan made a successful defense.

Love steadily received the rebound and gave it to Billups again.

Here, Billups saw Carter and other players on the Mavericks complaining that the referee didn't whistle and didn't focus on returning to defense, so he immediately pushed forward with a fast break.

"Back to defense~!!, back to defense~!!"

Seeing this, Carlisle immediately reminded his disciples.

But before Carter and the others returned to the half court, Billups had already made a three-pointer from the flank when the Mavericks were unable to retreat.

"Swipe~!!!"

Another three-point hit, the third consecutive three-point hit.

Suddenly, it rained three points in Dallas.

"Dum~!!!!"

Carlisle, who has always been cautious here, immediately called a timeout. If the game continues like this, the Mavericks will be drowned by the "three-point rain".

"Oh my god~, what kind of magic did Bruce cast on the players~?! Why are all of them so accurate~?!"

Byron on the sidelines also sighed with a dumbfounding expression.
