Chapter 2 fights offense and defense, fights fast break
Compared with the Dallas Mavericks, the only advantage the Timberwolves have is the conversion of offense and defense. This is the advantage of youth.
The Timberwolves are one of the few young guards in the league. In terms of talent and age, the Timberwolves can definitely rank among the top three in the league.
There are also many veterans in the lineup of the Dallas Mavericks. In terms of fast break storms and offensive and defensive transitions, the pace of the Dallas Mavericks is so slow that the opponents are anxious.
In this game, Timberwolves head coach Frank Vogel's idea was to use fast breaks to break through the Mavericks' defensive limitations, while disrupting the opponent's rhythm, and using lightning-fast offensive and defensive transitions to consume the Mavericks' stamina reserves.
As long as two of these three points can be achieved, the Timberwolves will have a [-]% or [-]% chance of winning the game tonight.
That's the tone Frank Vogel set for tonight's game. He identified the Mavericks' weaknesses and made timely countermeasures.
Once the weaknesses are found, they must be amplified in the game until they can be used to give the opponent a fatal blow.
As for this fatal blow, Frank was relieved to find that there were two Timberwolves in the team, Li Shihao and Marc Gasol, who both had such key ball abilities.
Although Marc Gasol does not seem to be conspicuous now, Frank Vogel is very optimistic about his future prospects. The future development of Marc Gasol will definitely be a first-class center in the league. The backbone of the team that the team craves.
However, for tonight's game, Frank Vogel chose to give the game to Li Shihao.
Since the freshman season in the NCAA, Frank Vogel has noticed Li Shihao. He is very aware of Li Shihao's ability at critical moments, and he firmly believes in this.
The deadly dagger that sneaked into the calf's belly tonight was Li Shihao!
The Dallas Mavericks played very steadily and efficiently. Even if an offense was not achieved, they still played in a leisurely manner. This is all due to the good scheduling of the backcourt commander Jason Kidd.
Point guard is a magical position. A qualified point guard can bring a mediocre team to the playoffs, and an excellent point guard can make the team go one step further, becoming the semifinals or even the Eastern and Western finals. regulars, but a historical level point guard is hard to come by. Such a player is often a strong contender for the championship.
The competitive pressure of point guards is too great, especially in the era of scarcity of big men, there is some congestion problem on the back line of each team, every summer, [-] teams in the league will always lay off some guards , At the same time, introduce some guards, do this every year, but not many can really find suitable guards to strengthen the team, and excellent point guards on the back line are even rarer.
After the Dallas Mavericks failed to win the championship twice, they finally realized the importance of an excellent point guard for the championship. If a team wants to become the strongest team of the season, then the No. [-] position cannot be weak. become weak.
So they almost traded half the team for the aging Jason Kidd, even though the latter is still plagued by injuries.
The price of this deal can even be compared with the one that traded Wolf King Garnett between Boston and Minnesota.
Therefore, it can be said that the value of a top point guard is no lower than that of a top inside player, and the two can be completely equivalent.This point is often overlooked by many teams in the league. They are always superstitious about the slogan that insiders win the world, and they prefer big players with outstanding strength, but they don't know the importance of point guards.
This game gradually evolved into a duel between the inside and outside of the two sides. Dirk Nowitzki played against Marc Gasol, and Jason Kidd played against Li Shihao.
Dirk Nowitzki undoubtedly has the advantage. Facing the young and immature Marc Gasol, the German chariot, which has been in the league for many years, has basically gained a crushing advantage.
The range of the German chariot is too far, covering the entire half court, so Marc Gasol has to devote more energy to defending Nowitzki and not giving him an open jumper.
As for Jason Kidd, Li Shihao had an unexpected advantage. The old demon Kidd could no longer see through Li Shihao's intentions step by step, and could no longer reproduce the strong defensive performance of the previous matchup.
Li Shihao played very casually tonight. He no longer deliberately created offensive opportunities, but focused more on controlling the overall situation.
Without a deliberate intention to play, Jason Kidd, who is as old as a monster, can't accurately judge Li Shihao's next move. It is true that he has rich experience, but when Li Shihao's little tail is hidden and disappeared, what is left of Jason Kidd There is only stability left, and the experienced Jason Kidd will not dare to try gambling steals because of his experience.
On the contrary, Li Shihao, without Jason Kidd's defensive constraints on the offensive end, started a crazy offense. Not only did he enter the firing state early, but he also continued to create opportunities for his teammates, allowing Kevin Love and Marc Gasol and others, All performed well.
Li Shihao turned into an all-round offensive player tonight. The combination of breakthrough and jump shot brought great damage to the Dallas Mavericks' defense.
After the first half, the Timberwolves led the Dallas Mavericks by 65 points at 59:6. They kept pressing the Dallas Mavericks in terms of offensive and defensive rhythm, and did not give them a chance to overtake.
Tonight, dribbling has become Li Shihao's surprise weapon tonight. The excellent dribbling feel developed by practicing Tuna Daoyin some time ago has given Li Shihao an excellent state tonight, enabling him to make breakthroughs and jump shots. All gave him excellent form.
The offensive and defensive balance of the Dallas Mavericks this season is correct, but the balance is limited. Their offensive firepower is much more efficient than the defensive end, and their defensive end strength is not even as good as the San Antonio Spurs full of veterans.
The defense of the Dallas Mavericks is limited. If the Timberwolves' offensive state reaches a peak, it can completely break the defensive endurance of the Dallas people.
On the offensive end, the offense of the Dallas Mavericks relies entirely on Dirk Nowitzki. The old Jason Kidd was not good at offense when he was young, and it is even worse when he is old.
Li Shihao's idea was to keep a close eye on Nowitzki, not to give the German chariot a chance to shoot easily, and even used double-teaming strategies frequently.
The firepower of the German tanks is ferocious, yes, it feels like it can kill a team by one person.It's a pity that in tonight's game, Nowitzki couldn't find a chance to make an easy shot, and his touch has been in a tepid state. Relying on his offensive firepower alone is far from being able to bring the Dallas Mavericks an advantage.
