Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

The situation is really bad for the Knicks, they must find a way to break the Mavericks' zone defense as soon as possible.

Slightly more experienced fans will probably know that the universal formula for cracking all zone defenses is to hit three-pointers from the outside. Team coordination, use faster passing, more subtle movement...  

These are the Knicks do not have.

The time for their lineup to run in is not long, and this is not a mature and complete lineup. It would be a waste to practice these.

Then again, D'Antoni isn't that type of coach himself.

In this case, the problem becomes.

Just like the students in the exam room, they suddenly encountered exam questions that the teacher said they would not take outside the syllabus.

D'Antoni has only one move left, and that is to use the star's personal ability to forcibly crack the zone defense!

Of course, this is an extremely daring attempt.

The zone defense itself is used to limit the performance of your superstar. If you want to forcibly use the superstar's ability to crack, this is tantamount to saying that it is even more difficult, but it seems that the Knicks probably have no other way.

Anthony still patted his chest and said confidently: "Brothers, cheer up, in the second half, we must fight for victory!"

Yes, at this time, self-confidence is necessary, otherwise, if the main generals do not have confidence, can they expect the rest of the role players to play?

This game, Dayao did not sit on the sidelines of the VIP seat to watch, but was mostly invited to Dingkang's private room by the owner James to watch the game.

Throughout the private room, there are several other James Dolan business partners, as well as other team owners, or buyers who want to buy an NBA team.

As a former superstar in the NBA, Dayao naturally has more or less intersection with these people.

That's the way the NBA is, a business league [everyone talks about business together.

When Dayao was at his peak, he was the most lucrative superstar in this business, and naturally many people would be willing to make friends with him.

Now, although he is facing retirement, in fact, the connections and funds he has accumulated over the years, as well as the Dragon Country market with unlimited potential behind him, can still make him very popular in these circles.

At this time, James Dolan discussed with Dayao about the situation in the first half: "Yao, you also saw that our team was still ahead by so much in the second quarter, and was suddenly overtaken by the opponent. Any good suggestions?"

Dayao said: "The Mavericks' zone defense is indeed very powerful. If the Knicks want to break the zone defense, it is best to shoot from the outside... Of course, if there is a traditional big center, you can also further compress the zone defense. , thus finding opportunity 477..."

What Dayao said was true, and he only said it after thinking about it for a while.

What he thought was that if he was on the court at his peak, then the Mavericks' zone defense would not be so easy. As long as the ball was brought to the basket, even a defender of Tyson Chandler's level would be difficult to stop. Zhengtian Yao lost the score.

In order to completely restrict Dayao, the Mavericks must come to the basket with at least two talents.

In this way, the zone defense will be further compressed, and naturally there will be opportunities in the middle distance!

However, the Knicks don't even have a big center of this type.

Although Stoudemire is the ceiling of a sports center, but he can't hold up all day in the interior, it is difficult to cause damage.

As for Turiaf, the level is not enough.

"Dayao, you are right, our team really lacks a big center like you, otherwise you should consider joining us." James Dolan said casually.

Dayao just said it casually, but he didn't expect James Dolan to have such an answer, he stunned and looked at Dolan.

Although a little surprised, Dayao's natural humor still made Dayao laugh: "James, you are joking, I, a player dragged down by injuries, can no longer play professionally, I will announce my retirement at the end of July, I am afraid there is no ways to work for you

Unexpectedly, James Dolan said: "I'm not kidding, to be honest, Dayao, you are only 30 years old, and you are still the golden age of professional players. Don't you really feel regretful that you retire at this time? Don't be in a hurry to refuse so quickly. I, you still have two months to consider, we have the best medical team in the world here, and the Knicks are not in a hurry to get results, you can slowly recover until your body is adjusted to the best Ideally, it's not too late to play again."

Dayao smiled and said nothing.

He knew very well that this was a great opportunity for him!

Why retire at the age of 30, yes, it is because of injury.

But is Dayao's injury really to the point that continuing to play will cause him to be disabled or even paralyzed? Obviously not that serious.

More from the double torture of his own injuries and external discussions.

Fans may not know that when a professional basketball player experiences repeated injuries, it doesn't take long for him to recover, then he gets injured again, recovers from an injury for a season, plays a dozen games when he gets better, and is injured for another year!

This is actually torture.

Fans may be thinking, what's the torture?

But in fact the physical (bcbf) physical pain is very mild, the most serious is from the mental torture.

After a few years, you haven't even played a few games, you've been battling injuries, you've finally recovered, and you've been injured again not long after you're on the court.

This sense of despair can even make some players depressed.

Not to mention that for a heavy player like Dayao, continuous knee injuries are likely to lead to his future health and even affect his normal walking in the future.

In addition, the voice from the team and fans outside the field is also an inevitable problem.

Dayao has lost confidence in the Rockets. If he goes to other teams in this state, he will not have any high salary, nor can the team's treatment be guaranteed.

It's like "surviving" in the NBA, it is better to retreat bravely, return to Longguo, and actively participate in Longguo's basketball career.

Yes, on the issue of retirement, Dayao actually considered a lot, for a long time, not a decision made overnight.

But now, just a few words from James Dolan made him hesitate!

Indeed, normally speaking, Dayao feels that if he continues to mix in the NBA, there will be no good results.

However, it seems worth considering if a team can give itself enough patience to recuperate from injuries without urgently needing him as an immediate force.

Moreover, this Knicks team already has the prototype of the championship!

Think about it, this is a strong Eastern Conference team with Stoudemire and Anthony, and Bai Feng, who is also a player from the Dragon Kingdom, he is most optimistic about!

To be honest, because of the heart.

But he did not make any statement at this time, and there are still many things to consider.

Just as the matter of retiring was not decided overnight, now, it is impossible for him to change his previous decision just because of one sentence.

In a word, Dayao felt that although this matter sounded feasible, he was also a little excited... but in the end, it was estimated that it would be difficult to make it happen.

Soon, half-time is over, and the second half of the game is coming!

It's time to test the Knicks.

Fans are also looking forward to this, what kind of response will the Knicks give after the halftime break and turn the momentum around in the second half!

Soon, they were disappointed.

The situation has not changed!

As soon as the second half of the game came up, the Mavericks took the lead in a mid-range hit by Nowitzki.

To the Knicks offense, Anthony's storm still has no way to break the Mavericks' zone defense.

In the next round, Stoudemire's card cable under the basket has no effect.

In the next round, after Bai Feng and Stoudemire picked and rolled, Bai Feng made a three-pointer, but it still missed.

Each of the three cores tried once, but there was no way to break the Mavericks' zone defense, which was the same as the second quarter.

The Mavericks' three offenses were hit twice, the point difference continued to expand, and the Knicks fans became anxious.

"What are you doing, you can't play at all, did the Knicks think of any way to do this during the halftime break?"

"It's over, it's not going to lose... Although we are very happy to have entered the finals, but the finals ended in this way, it is still a little unwilling.

"Hey, Stoudemire and Anthony can't get through at all, and Bai Feng doesn't have the feel of a long shot. What can I do?"

In the Mavericks coaching bench, the assistants are having a good time chatting.

"The Knicks are such a very simple offense that can look very efficient at times, but once their star players are limited, the offense will stall, and sure enough, we just had to take care of that, Victory becomes easy."

"Alas, they still lose because of their poor configuration. If they can have some good outside shooters, even a traditional big center, they won't be so passive. 1"

"In short, they eliminated the Heat, which is a huge bargain for us."

In the view of the Mavericks assistant coaches, the game has played to this level, and the Mavericks are basically no different from winning the championship.

The Knicks are a team with very limited tactical changes. In this kind of team, as long as they can't break the game through the ability of their stars and continue to be suppressed, they will basically be defeated.

.

The Mavericks gave D'Antoni a halftime break, and the Knicks couldn't crack the Mavericks' one-man quadruple.

This can reflect the shortcomings of their extremely poor adaptability.

Probably the Mavericks don't need to use the various tricks they have prepared after, just use this one to win this match.

With a big score of 3:0, wouldn't the championship be like a boiled duck?

On the field, things got worse.

Anthony even looked a little irritable because he couldn't break the opponent's zone defense. He moved too much on the offensive end and directly elbowed Marion in the face, getting an offensive foul.

And Stoudemire was also in a rebounding scramble. Because he did not grab a suitable position, he pushed Chandler away and got a rebounding foul.

Obviously, the core players of the Knicks also began to worry.

Although D'Antoni called a timeout to adjust, the effect was minimal.

Unconsciously, the Mavericks have widened the difference to 13 points.

The entire stadium was even a little desperate. The cheers of the fans who had been neat and loud were also much weaker at this time, and it was very difficult to have the previous momentum.

However, at this moment, a graceful parabola was suddenly drawn over Madison Square Garden.

Bai Feng made a decisive shot at the three-point line!

Swish!

in!

Finally got in!

0 for 3 in the first half, 0 for 2 in the second half

With five consecutive three-pointers hitting the iron, Bai Feng's sixth shot from beyond the arc finally hit!

For a time, the cheers of the fans at the scene were like a flood that burst the embankment, surging.

"There is, finally there is, if you don't score, it will be over."

"It has to be Bai Feng, come on, Bai Feng, we won't admit defeat!"

Just scoring a goal, these fans who are already a little desperate, are as excited as the rain is coming after a long drought.

Obviously, they have been too quiet for the past period of time.

The Mavericks attacked, and Kidd missed a three-pointer.

In the Knicks round, Bai Feng and Stoudemire again took a three-point bukkake after the pick-and-roll!

Swish!

and also!

If it is just a three-pointer, it's nothing for the Mavericks. After all, there are so many not to score, so we can't let the opponent keep hitting the iron.

But if he scores two in a row, it means that Bai Feng has found his hand!

However, Carlisle was still calm, and he didn't say anything.

The Mavericks attacked, and Dirk Nowitzki also slid out of the basket.

This is an opportunity for the Knicks.

Bai Feng made another 3-pointer just like before.

Still in!

Three consecutive three-pointers ignited Madison Square Garden in an instant.

The fans all stood up, they were revelling, they were shouting, they were shouting the name of "Savior".

On the Mavericks coaching bench, Coach Carlisle hesitated for a moment. He didn't call the timeout, but came to the sidelines, called Kidd over temporarily, and said a few words.

Obviously, Carlisle trusts Jason Kidd very much. In his opinion, Kidd can be regarded as half the coach on the field.

He probably only needs to simply say what he means to Kidd, and Kidd can organize his teammates to execute them efficiently on the court.

The Mavericks attacked, and Kidnowski occupied the center.

Marion and Stevenson ran at the same time, the result Stevenson had a chance, after receiving Nowitzki's pass, made a layup.

The Mavericks relied on a successful offense to temporarily delay the momentum of the Knicks' chasing points.

Of course, that's not the point!

Now, the biggest problem is that Bai Feng has made three three-pointers in a row, which means that the Mavericks can no longer use this one-star quadruple.

Otherwise, Bai Feng will continue to play pick-and-roll outside the three-point line, will they guard or not?

If not guarded, with Bai Feng's fiery touch, he will definitely continue to shoot, and the Mavericks will definitely not be so tough.

If someone is sent over to defend against the pick-and-roll with Kidd, then if there is one less position in the defense formation, it will be useless, and even the entire defense line will be messed up.

So, for the Mavericks, the best way is to change the formation!

That's right, in this defensive round, they immediately changed from staring at quadruple to a 2-3 zone defense.

It's still joint defense, but it's changed.

The biggest effect of the 2-3 zone defense is to be able to defend the offensive team and launch a high pick-and-roll, while taking into account the two corners.

Xiao Si still came up to pick and roll for him. When Bai Feng saw the Mavericks change, he knew that this offense would definitely not be so good.

Sure enough, after the pick-and-roll, the Mavericks came over to guard the pick-and-roll, Kidd and Stevenson, directly ignoring Stoudemire who was down the line, but came over to surround themselves and play for the main player.

opportunity to get started.

Bai Feng gave Stoudemire a clever hoist. After Stoudemire received the ball, the Mavericks' defense instantly shrank. One front and one right, two defenders formed a siege to Stoudemire.

Seeing that JR in the bottom corner had a chance, Stoudemire did not hesitate to pass it to JR directly.

But the timing of his passing was still half a beat late, and the Mavericks' defense had long anticipated that when he was about to pass the ball, he moved as a whole.

Stevenson at the top of the arc made up for that direction.

Although JR shot the first time he received the ball, he was still disturbed.

bang!

Hardened.

It seems that the second question given by the Mavericks will start to embarrass the Knicks again. .
