After Zhou Xuan blocked and dismantled, he attracted Nowitzki's defense and chose to pass, Jackson took the ball on the right side and passed to Marion in the bottom corner, Dampier was forced to save and defend, and Marion made a quick three-point shot.

The opportunity came out, the ball didn't go in, and the rebound was got by Kidd. Zhou Xuan judged the right direction, but was stuck by Kidd first, and couldn't jump up behind.

Everyone knows that Kidd's assist ability is very strong, and he often overlooks another ability, which is rebounding, as a player who is not very physical, his rebounding ability can definitely put a lot of interior big players to shame.

Kidd averaged 8 or more rebounds in 2 seasons, 7 or more rebounds in 4 seasons, 6 or more rebounds in 8 seasons, and still has 6 this season. 2 pcs.

As a playmaker, he is the farthest player from the basket when attacking and defending, but Kidd's rebounding is very much, and his height of 193CM is more than that of some players over 210CM! A playmaking guard can be said to be good at grabbing an average of 4 boards, and if you check the data, there is no such thing as a good rebounder than Kidd, and neither is a scoring guard.

Zhou Xuan felt that this was not a good time to practice grabbing rebounds, so let's talk about it later. Defensively, the Warriors did a good job of the rotation again, Terry broke through and missed the throw, and Randolph got the rebound.

As soon as Terry broke through, a dislocation was formed on the court, the Warriors four went down, Jackson passed to Zhou Xuan, Zhou Xuan quickly advanced to the front court, took the ball and shook it in the direction of Ellis, and threw the ball back with both hands. Marion Binowski rushed across the halfcourt first, dunked with both hands, and "put" the ball into the basket cleanly. This is often referred to as an "air balloon dunk". 15 to 9.

Carlisle finally called a timeout, unhappy with his players' defense.

Carlisle used a substitute for Blanton? Bas replaces Dampier. In terms of defensive speed, Dampier and Bass are a cut apart, and Bath can shoot, Dampier can only stay under the basket. Bath's only weakness is that he is too short and can play a role in blocking and pick-and-roll, and he has a good effect on James and Anthony in the regular season, and he is not afraid of fast and strong swing people.

Nelson Sr. made no substitutions and continued to play as a starter.

Once the game began, the Mavericks stepped up their defense against pick-and-rolls and began to squeeze the defense. There's no good way to break through this kind of defense, but to shoot threes. However, Ellis is still not very sure of his three-point shooting, and Jackson is not feeling good after returning from bone spur surgery. People may say that his bone spurs are not on his feet or wrists, how can it have an effect? In fact, he has always had an old injury to his wrist, and when he turned, the sound of Kabakaba was like a Transformer, which really affected his feel.

Fortunately, the Mavericks' offense was not good, the Warriors' rotation was very fast, and Nowitzki was entangled by Jackson and Marion in the first quarter, making only 1 of 4 shots.

At 29-25, the Warriors led by four points.

"What happened to Dampier? We need the second center in the West. "There were fans in the stands who sighed.

"If you get this Bass to the Warriors and send Wright over, the Warriors have a perfect lineup." Another fan said.

The Warriors bench also lacks a strong power forward who can shoot from the floor, and the strong Buss is a good fit.

In the second quarter, the Mavericks also started to pick up speed. They switched on Barria late in the first quarter to give Terry a break, and now have Terry and Barria form a double guard. Small forward Wright, big forward Bass, center on Ryan? Hollins.

Hollins is a 7-minute player, coming up to the bench to play for a while, just defending, and Wright's offense is very average. At this time, the Warriors roster is much more luxurious. Ellis, Azubuke, Morrow, Margeti, Turiaf.

But this lineup was broken by the blocking and demolition of Mavericks Bass and Barria. Barria is not only fast, but also agile, and has to change guards, and Margeti, who played in the No. 4 position, can't keep up. After blocking a return pass, Bass was able to single Ellis again.

The Mavericks went on a 9-2 run to overtake the score.

Nelson Sr. asked for a timeout. After countless experiments in the regular season, he found that the Warriors were becoming more and more inseparable from Zhou Xuan's organization, which was not a good thing. And Ellis has always been unable to complete the organizational task well, and the substitutes Watson and Dolby are even worse. It was futile to let them learn Zhou Xuan's style of play.

"Bass played very well in this period, and now he has scored eight points, the second most points for the Mavericks, and Terry has scored nine points," Zhang said. ”

Yu Jia said: "Bass was also selected in the second round of the draft, with the 33rd pick, much higher than Zhou Xuan, he didn't play in the Hornets, but he broke out in the Mavericks. It's not easy for him to play so tough and confident, and that's what he came to score. He has amazing explosiveness under the basket and uses his body well to create space. He is top-notch on the dribble at power forward, has a good mid-range jumper, often goes to the free throw line, and has a pretty reliable free-throw shooting percentage. ”

Zhang Reasonable said: "And this section of his defense is also good, more suitable for pulling out than Dampier, it is not easy to move like this with such a body." ”

After the old Nelson paused, he arranged to change to positional warfare to strengthen the defense, and then let Zhou Xuan come on the court and replaced Ellis.

The Warriors immediately became fast and slow, stabilized the situation, the score did not open again, and the first half was nearing the end, Antoine? Wright hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer to make it 52-53 and the Warriors trailed by one point heading into the second half.

Zhou Xuan's shooting felt down in the second quarter, with 13 points and 6 assists in the half. Kidd hit two three-pointers for eight points, three rebounds and five assists.

If they could, the Warriors would have liked to meet the Spurs, and the Mavericks would be more effective than they seemed on the lineup, especially when Buss played more minutes.

Barkley analysed: "Dampier's contract is about to expire and he is not far away from leaving. Next season he's in a contract year and it's impossible to get out of contract in his current form. The Mavericks can take him as a center and wait for salary space to be freed up next year, or they can be traded as a chip. This year, the calves are no longer weak. Cuban has always been willing to spend money, and I want to keep Kidd this summer, and after a one-year buffer period, the 2010-2011 season will have the possibility for the Mavericks to rise. ”

"I think Cuban would definitely want to bring in James as well, but then Nowitzki wouldn't be the absolute core of the team," Smith said. ”

Barkley laughed: "Nowitzki only scored seven points in the first half and was always shooting from the outside, and today the Warriors were very successful in defending him, he shot 2-of-8 and only made two free throws. As a leader, he should have done more. Today Randolph is better than him. ”

Randolph scored 14 points, which was the most points scored by the two teams, but except for him and Zhou Xuan, the others felt average, and the scoring points were too concentrated.

In the playoffs, Moro was almost completely out of order, and Azubuike's performance was much worse than in the regular season, which is the gap in mental quality. The more you want to perform, the worse it becomes. Randolph played in the playoffs and almost went down 3-0 to finish the Mavericks that year, which gave him a mental advantage and played well. Zhou Xuan's method is self-hypnosis, telling himself that this is an ordinary game, you can play how you want, you can't eliminate it if you lose, and there are still 6 games.

Nelson Sr. was dissatisfied with Jackson and Margety, who were the Warriors' boss and second before the season began, but when they reached the playoffs, they didn't know what they should do.

The decline in the form of the players, rather than the decline in the status of the team, all started with a decrease in possession. Jackson was known as an All-Star last season, including the first dozen games of this season, and he became blue-collar after almost two months of rest from surgery, but his shooting percentage increased a little.

Margeti was even worse, and when he first arrived, someone blew him into the top three small forwards in the league, or at least the top five. As a result, now on the side of Chinese fans, his nickname is "cover no pass, cover no defense, cover constantly, iron cover emperor".

Nelson Sr. shouted in the locker room, "Corey, Stephen, we're already in the second round of the playoffs, and this isn't the time for you to sleepwalk, you have to step up." ”

Both kept their heads down and did not speak.

Nelson Sr. looked at Jackson first and said, "Stephen, your defense has done a good job, I have to praise your defense, but on the offensive end, you can't always stand on the perimeter and wait for the ball, you can run on the outside, attract the defense, if there is someone in front of you, you might as well pass it again, don't pull it out!" I'm not asking you to have to shoot in 7 seconds, and we can beat the Mavericks with a positional attack. ”

"It's good."

"Corey." Old Nelson frowned and said, "Have you forgotten what your characteristics are?" Fans and reporters are all thinking about it for you. Make fouls. You are physically strong and have a strong ability to make fouls, so you are the most efficient to play like this, not to catch the ball without raising your head, and to shoot directly regardless of the position of your teammates. Your style of play will hurt the team. ”

Nelson Sr. continued: "I'm not going to talk nonsense, in the second half you two went up with Sean (Marion) and Monday, block and cut the air, don't keep shooting from the perimeter, try to make fouls." If there is space and then you can think about the perimeter shot, we have to win this game. ”

Ellis was once again put on the bench, and Nelson Sr. had the simple goal of getting Margetty and Jackson to eat Terry or Barria hard. Ellis is on the court with a fast attack, and if the Mavericks can't make up for the defensive holes in the guard and make a substitution, then he can switch to Easley to play the fast break. In contrast, Margeti was also more accurate than Ellis in three-pointers.

When Dampier is off, the Mavericks have no obvious weaknesses. Although many people question Nowitzki's defense, in fact, his defense is not too bad, the defense will be with people, and the low post will not be easily squeezed to the basket, but his offense is better, and he is mostly on the outside, leaving a "soft" impression, which is similar to Laker Paul? Gasol is somewhat similar. But how can a soft egg average nearly 10 rebounds per game?

Old Nelson no longer expects to beat the Mavericks easily, and has to fight defense in the second half!
