2 Chapter [-] Showdown
The two sides opened the jump ball, and the Mavericks' Dampier beat Marc Gasol and took the lead in poking the ball into his own position.
The Mavericks go first and Jason Kidd holds the ball.
Kidd's rhythm is not fast, and steady play has become the biggest characteristic of his career. When he was young, he would increase his speed and play small ball tactics. Not good, steady and steady has become his biggest characteristic.
However, this is nothing too much. The Dallas Mavericks are not a fast-break team like the Phoenix Suns, which will reduce the quality of the defensive end a lot. Far.
Carlisle, the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, believes in this point. He is a typical academic coach, and defense is naturally one of his unshakable coaching creeds.
Jason Kidd moved slowly, waiting for all his teammates to take their positions, and then slowly began to look at the situation on the court.
Even though Kidd moves like an old man, Li Shihao knows that Kidd is not at all guarded during dribbling. The experienced Kidd often uses "slow steps and slow movements" as his external camouflage , often deceived many young people to rush forward to gamble and steal.
Li Shihao has seen a lot of scenes like this in the game highlights. The rookie at the number one position is often played by Jason Kidd.
Nowitzki, as the first offensive point of the Mavericks, attracted most of the Timberwolves' attraction. Kevin Love firmly locked Nowitzki's position and did not give him a chance to catch the ball easily. The current Marc Gasol is also eyeing him, ready to make up the defense at any time.
Without hesitation, Kidd passed the ball directly to Terry. After Terry received the ball, he immediately moved laterally at a very fast speed. As soon as he moved, the formation of the entire Mavericks also changed rapidly. Nowitzki and Dampier They all reacted quickly and pulled out to cover Terry, firmly blocking Li Shihao and Brewer behind him, preventing them from approaching.
The speed of this pick-and-roll is very fast, and the young Timberwolves are not given a chance to react. This is enough to see the effort behind the Dallas Mavericks. The tactical execution alone is amazing.
Terry got the chance to cover, and there was no one around him to defend him. Terry stepped decisively beyond the three-point line, bent his knees at the top of the arc, and took off. A long-range three-point shot flew high above his head. , The arc of the parabola is very high, but this long-range shot is very accurate. After flying over the heads of everyone, it directly fell into the net nest, setting off a wave of net flowers.
At the beginning of the game, the Mavericks took advantage of Terry's three-pointer and scored a strong three-pointer.
3:0 start.
After Jason Terry hit the three-pointer, he didn't look very happy. He obviously had a flat attitude towards the three-pointer and just gave his teammates a slight high-five.
Li Shihao's eyes narrowed slightly, watching Jason Terry remain silent, his eyes shone with an uncertain light and dark brilliance.
Jason Terry is a well-known short guard in the league. His position on the court is more suitable for a combo guard. His height is undoubtedly too short to play a shooting guard, and he will be targeted to death. It is difficult to get rid of his opponent and get a chance.
But he is very skilled. If he gets a shot through the pick-and-roll cover of his teammates like just now, his hit rate will undoubtedly be very high. For him, it is as simple as eating and drinking.
Jason Terry's jumper skills are superb. This season, he has contributed a lot of firepower on the bench for the Dallas Mavericks. Just take the three-pointer just now as an example. He only shot 36.5% in the regular season. On the stage of the playoffs, the shooting percentage can be further increased, reaching about 40%.
This number is terrible. Even if he scored two or three three-pointers per game in the playoffs, Terry could score a lot of points. Adding free throws or two-pointers to score, it is easy to score in double figures. It's easy.
Terry is obviously an IQ player who is very good at playing. Such players know how to avoid the strengths of their opponents and create advantages for themselves. This is one of the reasons why Terry can play better in the playoffs than in the regular season. one.
However, Timberwolves coach Frank Vogel noticed the energy contained in Jason Terry long before the game, and this game deliberately made Ryan Gomez pay more attention to Terry.
Just now, the Mavericks resorted to a two-man pick-and-roll tactic, which caught the Timberwolves off guard for a while, and Terry got a chance to make a move, but in the future, there will be no such easy opportunities.
The offense and defense switched, the ball was held by Li Shihao, and this time it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack.
Li Shihao could clearly feel a pair of bright eyes staring at him unblinkingly at the side of the court, which made him have to concentrate on playing. He knew whose eyes it was. Imagine what kind of tone the latter would use to "laugh" at himself.
As soon as Li Shihao held the ball, the Mavericks turned their attention to Li Shihao as if facing a big enemy.
Li Shihao's scoring ability this season has obviously caught the attention of many teams. This Chinese boy's scoring ability is not bad. In the league's No. [-] position, there are only Chris Paul, Steve Nash, and Deron Williams. Famous point guards are worse than him, and a defensive number one like Jason Kidd is far inferior to Li Shihao in terms of offensive ability.
Jason Kidd obviously won't let Li Shihao break through his defense easily, defense is his housekeeping skill, if Li Shihao breaks through easily like this, then he is not very embarrassing.
However, Jason Kidd obviously would not have thought that Kobe had "secretly given the opportunity" and gave Li Shihao a lot of ways to match Jason Kidd.
He has a lot of experience, but Li Shihao didn't use him immediately. Now that the game has just started, it's too early to use him at this time.
Facing Jason Kidd's defense, Li Shihao walked around the three-point line quickly, keeping his eyes on the running of his teammates. Suddenly, he noticed Kevin Love's position from the gap, and the defense over there The focus is obviously weaker. Li Shihao did not hesitate at all, and immediately lobbed the ball to Kevin Love. The latter took the ball and stood inside. The Mavericks' formation immediately panicked. Love opened up the situation, and quickly defended with Dampier on the side. At the same time, he also moved to the basket, ready to support at any time.
Unexpectedly, Kevin Love's move was just a false pretence. While Li Shihao was on the side of the Mavericks formation, he immediately moved to the left, and an open opportunity immediately appeared.
"Whoosh-"
Kevin Love's pass flew in time and returned to Li Shihao's hands. Without any hesitation, Li Shihao jumped up and shot, raised the knife in his hand and dropped it. It was a cold three-point shot and made a steady hit.
3: 3!
The same three-point shot in return!
Li Shihao let out a breath, and pulled the wristband on his arm with his right hand, his eyes were cold.
Carlisle, who was on the sidelines of the Mavericks field, couldn't help but frowned when he saw the scene in front of him. He had a bad feeling that the worst plan was finally coming true.
The Timberwolves' bench lineup is not strong, but the starting lineup is very strong. If it's just that, it's fine. The key is that the Timberwolves' lineup is too young, and they have plenty of physical strength so that they won't have too many problems even if they play the whole game.
Every point in the Timberwolves lineup cannot be easily let go. Once let go, the opponent will make a decisive shot. This is not the regular season. In the playoffs, every ball must be contested. Anyone who loses points Mistakes are not allowed.
Mavericks coach Carlisle understands that he must find a solution to target the Timberwolves' starting lineup.
In the playoffs, Li Shihao's tactical status was improved. Frank Vogel knew very well that on the stage of the playoffs, you cannot expect role players to stand up for the team to withstand the pressure and lead the team to victory. The core of the team, giving him more tactical initiative and allowing him to play a greater role, such a tactical arrangement is the most sensible.
Jason Kidd's offensive ability is not outstanding, so relatively speaking, Li Shihao's defensive burden is lighter. When Frank Vogel formulated tactics for Li Shihao, he also asked Li Shihao to pay more attention to Jason Terry. If necessary, Ryan Gomez can fill the gap and prevent Jason Terry from finding a chance to make a move.
Although Ryan Gomez's lateral movement speed is dissatisfied, it is not much faster. Facing Jason Terry, who is shorter than himself, it is difficult for Ryan Gomez to not miss the defense, so Frank Vogel's Instructions are necessary.
Facts have proved that Frank's prediction was correct. Ryan Gomez's defensive ability is not bad. After being mentioned in the Timberwolves' starting lineup this season, Ryan Gomez quickly adapted to the rhythm of the starting lineup. Slowing down, but tonight facing Jason Terry running desperately to find a mobile phone opportunity, Ryan Gomez can't keep up with the pace.
The Mavericks' offensive tactics have a lot of pick-and-rolls. When the rest of the Mavericks deliberately pick-and-roll for Jason Terry, the difficulty for Jason Terry to get rid of Ryan Gomez is greatly reduced.
Fortunately, however, Li Shihao's defensive awareness is not inferior, and he can always plug the gap in time, without giving Jason Terry an open shot, and can only let the hopeless Jason Terry pass the ball to the rest of the players.
The Mavericks obviously won't put too much ball eggs in Jason Terry's basket.
Seeing that Jason Terry and the old demon Kidd had difficulty finding a suitable opportunity to make a move for a while, Nowitzki needed to activate this point.
Kidd squeezed in, and Nowitzki immediately understood and ran out of the three-point line. Kevin Love did not hesitate, and immediately followed the three-point line. Sure enough, Jason Kidd's pass arrived as scheduled. Nowitzki Ki leaned against Kevin Love lightly on his back, and with a light sweep of his ape-like long arm, he controlled the basketball in his hands. The rhythm of the dribble slowed down, and Nowitzki jumped up for a jumper and used it directly. The signature "Golden Rooster Independence".
This move obviously made Kevin Love extremely uncomfortable. "Golden Rooster Independent" is enough to make any opposing defender feel scruples. After all, it is related to his own personal safety. Ski's hard knees, that's a lot of fun.
Players in the NBA are generally very strict in training, and their muscles are so solid that they may be disfigured if they are lightly punched on the basketball, let alone hit the signature "Golden Rooster Independence" on the lower body.
The German chariot did not find the offensive state in the first place. Although Love's block was difficult to cover up, it still caused a certain psychological impact on Nowitzki. The basketball did not hit the net. He hit the iron and bounced high, and the rebound was easily grabbed by Marc Gasol under the basket.
In terms of rebounds, the Dallas Mavericks are really not enough. In the four games of the regular season, none of the Dallas Mavericks surpassed the Timberwolves in rebounds. They were all suppressed. Marc Gasol and Kevin Love in the Timberwolves There are two big men inside, so there is no need to worry about rebounds at all. When their two tall and strong insiders go to the basket, very few people can grab fresh and hot rebounds from them.
Barkley in the studio watched this scene and couldn't help commenting: "Although the Dallas Mavericks have a good record and rank second in the Western Conference, but in the first round of the playoffs, I think the chances of winning against the Timberwolves are not great. Now, the offense is not enough, the rebounding is not as good as the Timberwolves, it is hard to imagine what the Dallas people can rely on to win?"
Hearing this, Kenny Smith couldn't help but glanced at his old partner beside him. Seeing Barkley's focused and serious expression on his face, he couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Charles, can you prove anything by grabbing rebounds? You are a power forward in the league. He is very skilled in rebounding at the position, but he can’t beat Michael Jordan’s Bulls, you have to understand that rebounding doesn’t mean anything!”
Charles Barkley was obviously hurt by the poke, and he couldn't help retorting in a rough voice: "Kenny Smith, you have to understand that there is a 'big bug' Rodman next to Michael Jordan, and that guy rebounds like hell, Who will be stronger than him?"
Kenny Smith shook his head when he heard the words, glanced at Charles Barkley with disdain, and continued to add anger: "Mr. Charles, Mr. Jordan's first three consecutive championships did not have the help of 'Big Bug' Rodman. I really want to know what force stopped your urge to win the championship at that time? A sow?"
Charles stopped talking when he heard the words, his big cheeks were bulging angrily, his eyes were spitting fire, Kenny Smith's partner blackmailed him too hard, is there any "law of the king"!
Kenny Smith ignored the dissatisfaction of Charles Bacchus around him. For him, this "flying pig" has a lot of dissatisfaction. Michael Jordan is always on his mind. Michael Jordan back then made this pig Throughout his career, he has never failed to win a championship.
Kenny Smith coughed lightly, sorted out a warm smile, and smiled in front of the camera: "Friends in the audience, let me watch the highlight highlights just now."
