Chapter 170 167. The two point guards confront each other (first update)
As Stephen A. Smith said, the Mavericks have no intention of chasing records.
They will carefully prepare for every regular season game, but they will not disrupt the plan for the entire season in order to forcefully maintain a winning streak, and they will not force the main players with physical discomfort to appear on the field.
Arenas, Nowitzki, and Kidd are all veterans with various old injuries. What Carlisle means is to let them rest in a planned way.
For example, in the rematch with the Hornets, Carlisle took turns to rest Arenas and Nowitzki.
The United Arab Emirates and Sean Marion mentioned starting, and Ding changed to shooting guard.
The Mavericks head to New Orleans against the Hornets.
At this time, the Hornets owner George Sean was unable to continue to run the team, but he was too eager to sell the Hornets, so he couldn't find a suitable buyer from the market.
There are voices in the Hornets that the team is about to be taken over by the league.
Of course, high-level officials are still discussing all feasibility with the league.
Because letting the league take over is the worst result, no one knows what the Hornets will be like in the future.
After all, there was no precedent for this before.
The Hornets, who had won 8 consecutive victories at the beginning, were also one of the favorites to win the championship this year. As a result, the boss was seriously ill and the economy also had problems.
The Hornets are unlucky, and so is Pao Ge.
In order to let his teammates focus back on the game, Brother Pao preached as the team leader, "No matter what the team becomes, we are us!"
"The louder the controversy from the outside world, the stronger we will become, because we have a dream, and we will still unswervingly move towards our dream. Except for our New Orleans Hornets, no one can take away the O'Brien Cup this season, right?"
David West led his teammates to answer, "Yes!"
"The Hornets must win!" "We must win!!!"
The Hornets immediately emptied their hearts of troubles, coupled with the desire to avenge the Mavericks, everyone's attention was concentrated like never before.
On the other hand, Mavericks, who returned to the starting lineup, was very nervous. He recalled Nowitzki's moves over and over again in his mind, and he wanted to try his best to replicate Novitzki's style of play!
As for Sean Marion, playing is already normal.
As long as the team needs him, he is willing to play any position.
Although he is not as fast as the young man, he can make up for his lack of physical fitness with experience.
"This is the first time UAE has played against Xiao Ding as a starter in the NBA."
"That's right, after more than 8 months, Ah Lian has returned to the starting lineup. Tonight is very important to his career."
"The UAE can use Nowitzki as a template to integrate into the tactics of the Mavericks."
"Having said that, there has only been one Nowitzki in the league for so many years. I don't think the UAE should be under pressure, just play out its own characteristics."
After being given up by the Bucks and the Nets, domestic commentators and fans no longer have much hope for the UAE's NBA journey.
Ah Lian went to the Wizards, and was traded to the Mavericks with Xiaoding by chance.
This made people pay attention to the UAE again and saw his progress.
There is no hope of Dayao's return. He has a high probability of becoming the new pillar of the Tianchao men's basketball team, so people expect him to continue to improve beside Xiaoding.
The game started, and the boxing champion jumped to the ball.
As soon as Kidd dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, he handed it over to Xiaoding to solve the problem.
Xiao Ding dribbled the ball and hit Belinelli with his back.
Carlisle's personnel adjustments created this huge mismatch on the field, and Monty was completely unprepared for the switching strategy.
The Hornets watched Belinelli being knocked away by Ding, and then he was swayed by a fake move. Ding turned over and shot a jumper without falling back. He deliberately shot against Belinelli. The basketball flew into the basket and scored 2 points.
"Oh, Xiao Ding is so awesome, he scored a 2+1 at the beginning!"
"Belinelli was stunned. Looking at the replay, he was completely shaken by Xiaoding. If you don't accept it, Xiaoding's fake moves are really beautiful!"
The booing of the New Orleans audience disappeared with the referee's whistle, because it was the first time they encountered such a strong rookie, how to boo?From what angle boo?I can't find it!
Coach Monty realized what Carlisle was up to.
The two major scoring points were rested in rotation, but the tactical inventor did not intend to surrender.
Swish, Dinga made a free throw and the Mavericks started 3:0!
Brother Pao looked at Xiao Ding coldly, thinking that you are the only scoring point in the Mavericks' lineup, I don't believe we can't limit you!
He received the ball and dribbled it across half court. After a pick-and-roll, Xiao Da shook the boxing champion to the elbow area and made a fake shot to deceive the UAE who was helping to defend.
The old hacker said it was not good, because David Xikong cut to the basket.
But it was too late for him to fill in.
Brother Pao showed off his precise ground pass, and the basketball flew into the basket from the outside of Ah Lian's thigh, and David West dunked the ball. This kind of ball is easy for him.
The boxing champion and Ah Lian looked back at David West at the same time, and they realized that they were deceived by Brother Pao's realistic fake moves.
Carlisle didn't change his expression. This kind of loss is expected. The Hornets rely on Paul, David West, and Okafor to score.
It is difficult to be restricted by stars, not to mention that Paul's personal ability is far superior to other point guards in the same position in active service.
Kidd's defensive ability is already good at the first position, he just can't guard Paul.
Paul's style of play is too smart, and Kidd's defense with old arms and legs is almost meaningless.
People who are similar to him like Deron and Rondo must be used to cause trouble for Paul, but it is only to cause trouble.
Paul going to any team can make it a lob city.
He may not be the most popular player in the league, but when it comes to the NBA, no one can ignore his presence.
Just as New Orleans loves the way he plays, the way he passes the ball, and the nights he wins every night, the average fan will be enchanted by his creative output.
As soon as the pass came, the New Orleans Hornets cheered enthusiastically at home.
Although the dunk is good, they prefer the moment when Paul hits the ball.
Because they believe that this biography can determine the world!
Paul led the team back to the defense, he opened his arms, his eyes were bright, "Defend this ball!"
As a team leader, there are few people in the league better than him.
As for not making it to the Western Conference finals, not making it to the finals, not winning the championship, it is not a problem of ability, but a problem of mentality, teammates, and luck.
It's actually even more sad to say that, the feeling that people can't beat the sky.
Under his leadership, the morale of the Hornets was significantly higher than in the first battle.
Looking at Paul like this, Kidd stretched out a finger, "Score this goal!"
Ji Bugong assumed an offensive posture.
It's not that Paul disrespected his predecessors. For him, Kidd is already old, and he should look old when he is old. It's enough to be his background obediently. There is no point in struggling.
The two point guards face each other!
