Inside the Arco Arena, as the referee tossed the ball high, the game between the Mavericks and the Kings officially began. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Nowitzki won a rare jump ball win over the experienced Divac.

Although Divac is taller than Nowitzki, as he gets older and gains weight, Divac's current style has changed to a complete floor flow, if not Brad? Miller jumped lower than him, so shouldn't it be him who jumped the ball, maybe Gerrard, who is two meters and one meters tall? Wallace Jump Ball might still win.

Nowitzki dialed the ball to Liu Han, although Liu Han had Gerrard by his side? Wallace struggled but managed to get the ball.

Liu Han just got the ball and didn't take it much, but threw the ball directly to the Kings halfcourt, where Odom was already plugged in at high speed, and Odom had already rushed out after Nowitzki's jump ball win, although the Kings' offensive system was very gorgeous, but their two interior lines seriously slowed them down, Brad? Miller and Divac are standard floor-flow players, with top work on their hands but a lot slower on their feet.

Originally, Nowitzki rarely won a jump ball, but this time the Mavericks had an innate advantage, and the fast players of the Kings team were paying attention to Liu Han's movements, and Mike, who was back in time? Bibi is only 1.85 meters tall, and it is obviously impossible to expect Odom, who is 2.08 meters tall, who has already rushed up under his defense.

The Mavericks were not polite at all away and took the lead directly.

The Kings slowly advanced to the front court after serving from the baseline, Mike? Bibby dribbled to the top of the arc and handed the ball to Divac, who was raised to the high post, and the Kings' usual Princeton tactics began to work around Divac, Nowitzki kept a close eye on Divac's ball handler and did not dare to move, and the others also held their positions.

However, the Mavericks players still underestimated Divac's "bewitching" passing skills, Divac suddenly threw the ball behind Nowitzki to attract Nowitzki's attention, and when Nowitzki turned back to prevent the opponent from running back, Divac withdrew his outstretched hand, the ball was still in his hand, and at this time Doug who replaced Peja in his hand? Christy relies on Brad? Miller's cover escaped Odom's marker and slid diagonally into the Mavericks' interior from Divac's side.

Divac withdrew his hand and smashed the ball to the ground, and the ball passed smoothly into Christie's hands.

At this time, Liu Han was originally going to help defend and enter the inside line, but Gerrard? Wallace resisted Liu Han's way to the end, and Christie made a layup without defense, and the score returned to a 2-2 draw.

This is the Kings' Princeton tactics, the Divac's passing skills are thoroughly displayed, everyone in the entire offensive team is involved, some people run back to attract the attention of the defense, some people cover for teammates to "open the back door", and some people resist the defender's assistants, the whole team is like a flexible machine, and Divac is the lubricant and transmission of the machine, although he stops, but to rely on a pass to give the Mavericks a fatal threat.

The Kings fans at Arco Arena were jubilant, and in recent years they have become accustomed to enjoying the team's flashy offensive layers.

However, the Mavericks were not discouraged by this ball, but Jamison, who was on the bottom line, immediately withdrew from the line to serve and break quickly, and Liu Han and others also immediately rushed to the frontcourt, not giving the Kings any respite.

The Kings' two-floor interior simply couldn't keep up with that pace, and Adelman ignored that, thinking only about how to defend Liu Han and neglecting the Mavericks' overall style.

The Kings' three faster players returned to defend their own half, but they were faced with a four-on-three situation, Liu Han threw the ball to Odom who had reached the Kings' 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, Odom took the ball again and suddenly threw the ball to Nowitzki, who followed up in the middle, Nowitzki received the ball outside the three-point line and hit a three-point shot.

The Kings had tried to theoretically increase the Mavericks' speed before the game began, but in the middle of the game, they realized that the original speed would be so powerful to a certain extent.

The Kings fans in Arco Arena were completely intimidated by the speed of the Mavericks, and when Nowitzki made a three-pointer, they collectively let out a burst of exclamation, although they had already seen the Mavericks' speed on TV, but they could only understand what this speed meant when they were in the arena.

A basketball court of less than 100 feet can complete an offense in four seconds, which is not only dizzying, but even the cameras can't keep up.

Kings fans, who were expecting a home win on Christmas Eve, couldn't help but feel a shadow in their minds, and the game didn't look so easy to win.

The game continued, the Kings still adhered to their tactics and followed the step-by-step approach, while the Mavericks suddenly strengthened their defense against the line in the defense, but the effect was not obvious, Divac got older and more demonic, and all kinds of magical passes dazzled the Mavericks players and regained the confidence of Kings fans.

However, the Mavericks still quickly took the lead in the score, the implementation of the Kings' tactics requires each player to cooperate with the tacit run, and the opportunity to attack will be missed if there is a slight hesitation, so the success rate of their offense is not very high, and the Mavericks' rapid offense is very arbitrary, because of the arbitrariness, and the defender will inevitably guess wrong when defending, so that there are more opportunities to shoot in the open position, as long as the hand is not particularly cold, relying on the offensive speed that is a grade higher than the opponent, the Mavericks can easily take the lead.

Just over halfway through the first quarter, Adelman had to send Brad? Miller was replaced, and he was with Divac, and the team's pace was completely thrown off by the Mavericks.

By this time, the Mavericks had an eight-point lead over the Kings.

Liu Han didn't take many shots in the first half of the quarter, but he did provide four assists.

The Kings' defense against Liu Han was very tight, and what they were most worried about was Liu Han's strong shot, but they didn't expect the Mavericks to feel strong today.

When Liu Han made a three-point shot more than two meters away from the three-point line to extend the gap to 11 points, Adelman had to call a timeout.

The mood of the Kings fans was uneven at this time, from the initial confidence to the subsequent surprise, and then to the depression when the score was behind, the team's brilliant offense could not hide the fact that they were behind.

"Well done, boys, I can't make Sacramento's Christmas Eve a good day."

These were Nielsen's exact words at the time of the pause.
