Legendary basketball manager

I saw him posing with his left foot forward, making continuous dribbles under the crotch.

And every time the crotch changes hands, it is accompanied by the shaking of the shoulders.

But no matter how realistic Shuhao's fake moves were, Marion remained unmoved.

However, Shuhao quickly changed his tactics.

I saw him stepping out with his right foot suddenly, and then crossed and quickly broke through to the right.

Brother Hao's first step was so quick that even Marion was surprised.

The latter quickly moved sideways, but the next moment, Shuhao dribbled the ball back under his crotch.

For a moment, the two opened up a step of space.

Shuhao lowered his center of gravity slightly, moved his right foot to his left foot, and looked up at the basket at the same time.

[He's going to vote! ]

Marion was startled, and hurried forward.

His defensive habits are very good, even in this critical moment, he did not take off easily.

Still, Marion's center of gravity leaned forward.

Seizing the right moment, Shu Hao turned his shot into a sudden attack, and accelerated to the left.

"woo..."

Jeremy Lin's beautiful "worshiping Buddha" action caused the audience to exclaim.

They've seen Curry do it.

But the deterrent effect of Mengshen's shooting is too great, so when doing Buddha worship, it is often more "casual" and can achieve good results.

When Shu Hao did this action, he almost 100% restored his shooting action.

The only difference is that he changed his move in the moment before closing the ball, turning the shot into a sudden attack!

After passing Marion, Shuhao drove straight in and killed the Mavericks inside.

At this time, Kidd firmly stuck Griffin, but he was also unable to help his teammates defend.

The task of protecting the rim can only be given to the backup center - Heywood.

But a heavy center like Haywood has slow feet, so it is difficult to help defend in place in the first place.

Shuhao set fire to the sky and took three steps...

"BANG!"

A lightweight one-handed dunk helped the Rockets rewrite the score to 38:26.

On the sidelines, Carlisle frowned slightly.

He intentionally improved the mobility of the lineup in the second quarter.

To that end, Carlisle pushed Marion to the four.

It's a pity that the Mavericks lack a high-quality backup center.

Heywood, a blue-collar with a meat shield, is particularly cumbersome when encountering the Rockets.

But Chandler played the full first quarter and just went down to rest.

Carlisle gave Heywood the chance to play out of helplessness.

But looking at it now, the latter is very likely to become the target of public criticism!

Thinking of this, Carlisle couldn't help but glance back at Chandler.

The boxing champion is now covering his head with a towel, drinking a sports drink while watching the game.

Obviously, his physical fitness has not yet recovered.

[Lets see...]

Carlisle turned around and thought to himself.

............

The game continues.

After 1 minute, the Rockets made a comeback.

This time Shuhao went too far, and directly played a pick-and-roll with Oden.

Oden has been athletic since he returned to health.

Kidd can switch on Griffin, but Oden is another story.

But the first time Jeremy played a pick-and-roll with Oden, the Mavericks still tried to switch defenses.

As a result, Oden pouted his butt, pushed old Kidd two meters away, and then caught the ball and made an easy layup.

In the next round, Kidd didn't dare to switch defenses anymore, so he chose to grab it during the pick-and-roll.

But both he and Haywood were slower.

Jeremy seized the opportunity, suddenly changed direction during the pick-and-roll, threw the ball in front of him, and then passed between Kidd and Heywood!

In an instant, the Mavericks' line of defense was torn open.

Marion can only move laterally to help defend.

And what Shu Hao has to do is just throw the ball into the sky.

The next moment, the white monster came out of the cage and slammed the ball into the basket!

At 42:26, ​​the Rockets' lead has come to 16 points!

Seeing that the game was about to collapse, Carlisle couldn't sit still anymore, and quickly called a timeout.

After the timeout, Nowitzki and Chandler re-dressed, the Mavericks' lineup became: Kidd, Terry, Marion, Nowitzki and Chandler.

This is their strongest lineup!

On the Rockets side, Mark Jackson waved his hand and put out his favorite "ultimate basketball" lineup-McGrady, George, Danny Green, Tucker, and Big Ben.

In the VIP box on the stands, Shen Fei tapped the table with his right hand.

In his view, the Rockets' "ultimate basketball" lineup should be updated.

Yi Jianlian, who has defensive ability, can completely replace Tucker's position.

Whether it is the stability of the three-pointer (Taker only has a high shooting percentage in the two bottom corners) or defensive ability (not only single defense, but also rebounding ability), Yi Jianlian is the better one.

It can only be said that these five people have cooperated for a long time during the season, and perhaps the chemical reaction is better, so that Mark Jackson continued to use this lineup.

............

The game restarts.

As soon as Nowitzki came up, he fell into the low post and began to get stuck and ask for the ball.

Kidd made a lob and accurately delivered the ball to Nuo Tianwang.

After Nowitzki received the ball, he decisively attacked head-on.

Facing Tucker's defense, he didn't make any tentative moves, but directly pulled up the shot...

"Shu~"

Basketball hollow into the net!

42: 28.

"This is Dirk Nowitzki, he can solve problems as soon as he plays!"

Yu Jia sighed.

In an offensive and defensive transition, McGrady singled out Kidd at the top of the arc.

T-MAC did not seek cover.

Simply accelerating suddenly, he passed Kidd's defense with ease.

Seeing McGrady leaving in a hurry, Old Kidd was full of helplessness.

When the other party started it just now, he saw it, but he couldn't react, so he could only stand on the spot.

After McGrady hit the basket, facing Chandler's defense, he changed hands in the air and hit a layup!

44: 28.

Mavericks attack.

Nowitzki repeated his old trick and fell to the low post again to ask for the ball.

But this time, Tucker decisively took the defense around the front.

Kidd flicked his wrist, and the passed ball just passed Tucker's fingertips and fell into Nowitzki's hands.

But when the latter received the ball, one foot had already stepped into the penalty area.

At this time, Ben Wallace was already in place.

Nowitzki didn't get greedy and distributed the ball to Chandler on the side.

The boxing champion didn't think much after getting the ball, and he was about to dunk with his feet on the ground.

Unexpectedly, George didn't know when the cat was behind Chandler, stretched out a hand when he took off, and cut the ball away.

The ball goes straight out of bounds.

"Pretty!"

Ben Wallace stepped forward to give George a high five as he spoke.

These days, there are not many young people who are willing to start with defense, so for Pickled Pepper, Daben likes it more and more!

Kidd serves from the baseline.

The other players of the Mavericks started a complicated movement according to the tactics.

But no matter how they counter-run or pick-and-roll, the Rockets' players can rely on "unlimited defense changes" to maintain their defensive positions.

In the end, it still depends on Nowitzki's position to ask for the ball before Kidd can pass the ball.

On the sidelines, Carlisle frowned.

The Rockets' unlimited defenses have caused him a lot of headaches since the beginning of the regular season.

No matter how carefully arranged the tactics are, they lose their meaning when encountering infinite defense changes.

It seems that only the star's singles can crack such a defensive strategy.

In the last 5 seconds, after Nowitzki hit Tucker with his back, he turned over with difficulty and leaned back and shot...

hit!

44: 30.

After the ball was scored, Tucker shook his head helplessly.

He has tried his best to defend, and he has not lost any position during the whole process, and he has given enough physical confrontation.

It can be said that this ball has no reason, it is the embodiment of Nowitzki's personal ability.

Meanwhile, Mark Jackson turned to the bench and called, "Yi, get ready to play."

Hearing this, Ah Lian immediately stood up from his seat, took off his sports jacket, and walked towards the technical platform.

Soon, the Mavericks fouled McGrady on defense.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Yi Jianlian replaced Tucker.

Shoe King's face was full of depression, but he still took the initiative to high-five Ah Lian.

Tucker knew that the reason for being replaced was pure basketball-he couldn't guard Nowitzki.

............

The game continues.

George served from the sideline and passed the ball to McGrady.

After receiving the ball, T-MAC was directly outside the three-point line, facing Kidd, and made a dry shot.

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

At 47:30, the point difference was widened again.

After scoring the goal, McGrady smiled at Nowitzki, as if to say, it doesn't make sense, we haven't lost yet.

Kidd on the side shook his head helplessly.

In these two defenses, he actually did not lose his position.

It's just that McGrady's first step and dry pull are all crushed by pure talent.

Old Kidd is getting old, and his leg script is much slower than in the past, and he can't restrict his opponents at all.

"Sean, let's switch defenses."

Kidd had no choice but to ask Marion for help.

Hacker nodded.

Among the Mavericks, he is the most likely to guard McGrady.

Offensive and defensive conversion, Nowitzki fell to the low post again.

Yi Jianlian started his defense like "flashing teeth and claws".

His hands were not idle, constantly harassing Nowitzki.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded and the Rockets fouled without the ball.

Yi Jianlian put his hands on his hips, shook his head with a smile, and then threw himself into defense again.

Finally, Nowitzki won the hand-to-hand fight and received the pass.

But the moment he caught the ball, he felt a slap on his waist, and he almost lost his footing.

Nuo Tianwang glanced at Yi Jianlian angrily, and then at the referee.

But Ah Lian's actions just now were very subtle and escaped the referee's eyes.

"Excuse me."

Yi Jianlian said lightly, without any apology in his tone.

Nowitzki had a subtle expression and his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything in the end.

In fact, he was surprised by Yi Jianlian's performance in his heart.

The two have faced each other in national team games before.

At that time, Yi Jianlian was very shy, and Nowitzki faced him almost with a fist in his hands.

This is why Nuo Tianwang felt relaxed when he saw Ah Lian playing tonight.

But things backfired.

What Yi Jianlian did tonight was completely beyond Nowitzki's expectations.

The shyness of the past disappeared without a trace, replaced by a "garbage dog" fighting attitude.

[What the hell has he been through? ]

Nowitzki was very puzzled.

But during the game, he naturally wouldn't stop to ask the bottom line.

Nowitzki quickly adjusted his mentality and re-entered the competition.

This time, after receiving the ball, the German chariot made a half-turn decisively and turned to attack face-to-face.

In this way, Yi Jianlian did not dare to "strike" unscrupulously.

Nowitzki strikes a triple-threat stance, followed by two swift tentative steps out of the...

Yi Jianlian moved in small steps, always maintaining a defensive position.

But the next moment, Nowitzki directly pulled out his hand...

"Shu~"

Basketball hit the net.

Although Yi Jianlian took off in time to interfere, it was of no avail.

Fortunately, looking back, McGrady passed the ball to the Arab League who was ambushing in the bottom corner during the breakthrough.

Yi Jianlian draws his bow and nocks an arrow, and makes a three-pointer...

Answer. ball!

At 50:32, the point difference continued to widen.

However, in the following time, Nowitzki gradually regained his touch.

Under his leadership, the Mavericks worked hard to narrow the point difference.

At the end of the second quarter, the battle between the two sides became 65:50, and the Rockets returned to the locker room with a 15-point lead.

............

Mavericks locker room.

Nowitzki wiped the sweat from his brow with a towel.

In the first two quarters of the game, he consumed a lot and his physical fitness almost reached the limit.

"Dirk played too hard. The opponent's Ben Wallace and Yi Jianlian defended very fiercely and with too much intensity."

Terry complained.

"Compared to them, Gasol and Odom in the last round were quite gentle... I really don't know how the Rockets train."

"That's all for Ben Wallace. He is a DPOY. He needs to recharge his batteries. It's okay to defend well in the playoffs... What's the matter with that stupid big guy from Huaxia? When did he become so good at defending?" gone?"

Heywood said doubtfully.

"Pfft..."

As soon as Heywood finished speaking, Caron Butler couldn't help laughing.

Stupid guy?Heywood can still call someone a big fool?

As an opponent, Butler couldn't stand it anymore.

"why are you laughing?!"

Heywood was a little angry.

"It's okay, I just thought of something funny."

Butler explained.

"Okay, we are still behind by a big score, are you still in the mood to joke?" Deke showed displeasure, and reminded him: "Dirk is under a lot of defensive pressure, and the others must stand up."

Heywood and Butler immediately shut their mouths knowingly.

"In the second half, I will make a shot."

Terry spoke.

"But while you're shooting, you have to figure out how to deal with the troubles on the defensive end."

Kidd said seriously.

Terry was momentarily at a loss for words.

In the Rockets' starting lineup, Curry, McGrady, and George, he couldn't guard against them.

This means that even if Terry can give Nowitzki fire support on the offensive end, he will send points back on the defensive end.

This is not much use for the Mavericks who are behind by a large score.

"Defense is not for one person. We need Jason's firepower, so we have to find a way to protect him on the defensive end."

Nowitzki, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

"Well said! Individual defense, we really can't defend against the Rockets. So..." Carlisle looked around the crowd and gave his own answer: "In the second half, let's try zone defense."

"However, the rocket's outside firepower is so fierce, it's hard to limit the zone defense, right?"

Terry wondered.

"Now in this situation, we can only take a gamble, the Rockets feel down."

"Hold the inside and try to keep them from being disturbed when they shoot from the outside. This is what we can do at the moment."

Carlisle added.

The Maverick generals nodded upon hearing this.

Then, Carlisle walked to the tactical whiteboard and began to lay out detailed tactics.

......

......

"It's all said and done."

"In the second half, we will play strictly according to tactics. Perhaps this is the correct way to defeat the enemy!"

Carlisle put down the marker pen and said to the players.
