Zhou Xuan asked Kidd about his experience in grabbing rebounds, and Kidd told him unreservedly. It's very simple to judge the direction in which the ball pops up, deliberately miss the shot, let people deliberately miss the shot, and then judge on the side and ask your teammates to help.

When it comes time to train again, Zhou Xuan plans to practice. The two men were all talking about basketball, and time passed very quickly. Kidd didn't think that by just introducing the method, Zhou Xuan could improve. It wasn't long before he realized that he still underestimated this man.

Playing on the Mavericks away is one of the few NBA away games that is more comfortable. Many teams have made the away dressing room a mess in order to weaken their opponents. For example, the Bucks' cramped visiting locker room can't stand up, and the Kings' visiting locker room is even more excessive, and there is no closet with only a row of coat hooks.

The Mavericks are different, their owner Cuban is one of the richest NBA owners and the most willing to commit to the team. Their home team locker room is like a five-star hotel, which is called a luxury. The away team's dressing room is similar to the home team's, but slightly smaller in size. Even in the reduced version, the dimensions reached 743 square meters.

Nelson Sr. lays out tactics in the locker room and asks the players to brace themselves.

Without Randolph, the Warriors' interior line weakened, and the center could only go to the blue-collar line. In this way, Dampier can play under the basket, which is not easy to do. And who will defend Nowitzki is also a problem, no one can completely defend Nowitzki, Black Eight was Jackson and Harrington teamed up to limit that year, and now Jackson and Marion have similar styles, and they are almost all big.

"Zhou, today's inside attack is insufficient, you have to pass more empty balls and speed up the pace of attack."

Zhou Xuan nodded, he was used to cooperating with Randolph, it would definitely be more difficult to fight without a fat man, so he could only speed up the pace and suppress the calf.

Mavericks head coach Rick today? Carlisle's formation is simple, and the second in charge, Josh? Howard, who missed 15 games with a right ankle injury, has returned, and no longer needs to let role player Antoine? Wright starts.

Nowitzki has been in great form of late, with backup defender Barria also playing well. In order to enhance the attack, Carlisle asked "Jet" Jason? John Terry is in the starting line-up and is the best choice for the Sixth Man of the Year this year, averaging 19 per game. 6 points.

The two sides made their debuts, with the Warrior Turyaf as the starter, and Zhou Xuanjia was the three major swingmen on the outside. The Mavericks have the strongest offensive lineup, and in addition to Dampier, Nowitzki, Howard, Terry, and Kidd can all shoot.

Kidd and Zhou Xuan said hello and didn't say too much to each other, they had already talked enough yesterday.

The game started with the Mavericks attacking first, Kidd in charge of the ball and Terry running for an opportunity. Old Nelson arranged a joint defense, and Zhou Xuan was at the top of the arc, and he immediately realized that this was not a good strategy.

Kidd is nicknamed "Ji Bu Attack" in the Chinese, he will not shoot unless there is an empty position, Zhou Xuan defends Kidd at the top of the arc, there is not much room to play, as soon as he stepped forward, Kidd immediately turned his back to protect the ball and observe the situation. The strong player was more steady on the ball, and on the right side Terry got out of the three-point line with Nowitzki's cover and received a pass from Kidd.

Marion changed defense, Terry received the ball and turned to break through, Marion was not good at changing direction in the run, and Terry went to the three-point line. Jackson didn't let go of Nowitzki's defense, and Terry made a pull-up jumper to score the ball. 0 to 2.

The Warriors are attacking, Kidd is also at the top of the arc, and the Mavericks are also joint defense.

Marion got to the bottom corner, and Nowitzki followed the defense. Turiaf pulled out to cover, and Dampier followed Margeti on the three-second line, ready to shoot without a shot. Zhou Xuan broke through with the ball, and the person who changed the defense became Howard, Zhou Xuan passed to Margeti, and Kidd immediately let go of his defense, and then retreated into the left three-point line to help Dampier wrap Margeti.

Zhou Xuan instantly understood what Kidd said before about the essentials of assisting defense, to actively assist in defending people who are not good at passing. Margeti likes to play with the ball, has a lot of playing time, has poor passing vision, and averages less than two assists per game. After receiving the ball, he lowered his head and headed towards the basket.

Zhou Xuan ran to his side, and Margeti didn't pass.

This year, some people joked that Kidd was "ineffective" on the defensive end, forgetting that he had been on the defensive team for eight seasons. Some questioned how much playmaking he still had, forgetting that his total assists were the second-highest in NBA history, and some ridiculed him for not attacking but capable of shooting a lot of three-pointers. Kidd is averaging 6 points per game this season. 2 rebounds 8. The stats of 8 assists and 2 steals are still beautiful among point guards.

In the face of Margety, Kidd defended very smartly, he stuck in advance and Margeti hit the back near the low post, and he also used his strong waist to carry Margety's toned body.

Zhou Xuan didn't run, he just stood on the periphery and waited for an opportunity, and his teammates could quickly return to defense if they didn't enter. He observed, Kidd's every movement did not escape his eyes, Margety's first charge was the most powerful, Kidd had a small movement in his hand, raised his left elbow against Margety's back, and crossed his other hand against his left arm from the inside, increasing the strength of his upper limbs. After resisting the first blow, he immediately lowered his elbow and defended with his body, and Margeti was not as strong as before.

The first elbow, the referee often won't blow, otherwise this game will not be able to play, how can there be a reason for the opponent to hit the back and foul when touched? As long as the elbow is lowered in time, the referee will not see it. Zhou Xuan was overjoyed, this was the key reason why the defender was misplaced to prevent the striker. Payton used to be good at this defense, so he can also be anti-swing people, and watching the video is not as profound as his own experience on the court.

Margeti didn't defend Kidd, turned around and missed a jumper, the rebound was picked up by Dampier, and the Mavericks battled in a positional battle. Kidd passed to Terry, who evaded Jackson with Dampier cover and switched to Margety.

Kidd's advice is something the head coach will listen to, and he's like a member of the coaching staff at the Mavericks. And the first thing he proposed when he played the Warriors was to bypass Zhou Xuan's offense, especially the guard players, and not to single Zhou Xuan.

Margeti is the worst of the three swingmen, he's heavier, he's slow to move laterally, and he's not as effective as Azubuuk from the outside. Terry singled out Margeti, shook off the space and made a stop-and-shoot shot.

The Warriors offense is in trouble. The Mavericks resolutely used joint defense, Dampier did not go out in the low position, and the other positions relied on wheel switching positions and standing positions. The four corners are all frozen, not to mention Zhou Xuan, Margetty, and Jackson, even if Wade and Kobe Bryant want to break through, it is not easy. And the key point of such a defense is that Turiaf has no perimeter shooting ability, and he is let go as soon as he comes out. Blocking and dismantling Mavericks is also anti-burst but not anti-throwing.

The Warriors' defense is much the same, with Turyaf on the inside. This Mavericks is already playoff intensity, every ball is up for grabs, and the Warriors' defense doesn't have too many holes, but the Mavericks have the upper hand, and they rely on individual ability. Terry and Nowitzki were very efficient in their singles, and they played very patiently under Kidd's organization, almost using up 24 seconds to shoot, and did not force the frontcourt to rebound, and the four of them immediately returned to defense.

When Randolph rested, people realized how crucial this fat man was to the Warriors, and without him, most of the low-post offense was wasted. The Warriors can only break through, cut in the air, and shoot to attack again. Marion hit two with his back, Nowitzki had a height advantage, and his single defense was not weak, and they all popped out of the frame.

Zhou Xuan was still able to pass the ball to the right position, but the Mavericks' defense shrank quickly, forcing the Warriors players to shoot on the perimeter. Marion and Margeti were all inaccurate, and only Jackson and Zhou Xuan hit three-pointers.

Zhou Xuan went out of his way, made five shots from the periphery in a single quarter, hit two three-pointers, plus a mid-range shot, and scored 8 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, and the score did not open. The opponent has the intention of relaxing his defense, strictly guarding against three swing people, at this time he must dare to shoot, only if he hits, can he open up space.

In the second quarter, Zhou Xuan went to rest, and the score was immediately pulled away.

Mavericks send Barria, Gerald? Green, Antoine? Wright is on the outside, and Hollins and Brandon are on the inside? Bass. This lineup is average in defense and strong in offense. In particular, Barria and Green are very impactful, and Buss can also shoot after blocking and pick-and-roll.

After the Warriors blocked and dismantled, Ellis was trapped, and there was no big man who could shoot in the middle.

Bass is a wonder soldier, despite his inexperience, he gives his best in every game. The 203CM, 113kg Bath was very strong and hit Brandon with his back in the low post? Wright two.

After a 12-2 offensive wave, the Warriors trailed by 14 points.

Nelson Sr. was forced to call a timeout to arrange defense, especially against Barria. Barria is a typical example of the league's false declaration of height, claiming to be 183CM, which is actually shorter than the Rockets' Brooks. Brooks is 178CM barefoot, and he is 175CM. This kind of height suffers defensively, but he has an advantage on the offensive end, he is too flexible, and after blocking and dismantling, the Warriors' interior line of switching defenses suffers.

Old Nelson let Marion appear early, and Zhou Xuan was also replaced on the periphery to organize an attack, which finally stabilized the situation.

But in the second half, Nowitzki scored consecutive points, and as soon as he found his touch, Jackson and Marion couldn't defend themselves together. Nowitzki was so tall that the "Golden Rooster Independent" jumper was almost impossible to block. Because of this trick, he is not afraid of the bag at all.

Josh? Howard has also played a role, and although he hasn't scored as much as Trido this season, he's also an offensive point that has to be guarded against. Because of his presence, the Warriors can't easily wrap up Nowitzki. After Nowitzki passed, Kidd hit two three-pointers, and the score widened.

There was no hope of a comeback in the fourth quarter, the Warriors replaced the main force and sent a bench to workout, and the Mavericks also replaced the bench, and the game entered garbage time. Owner Cuban was on the sidelines rejoicing as if they had won the championship.

In the end, the Mavericks ended the Warriors' winning streak 118-97.
