652.Twin Guns (Part 2)
Kidd, Yao Ming, Nowitzki, and Coach Carlisle are all saving on the big three under the opponent, and Kidd's playing time has dropped from 36 minutes per game last season to 31 minutes, and the 38-year-old Kidd is "only" averaging 6.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 8.5 assists per game.
Nowitzki is actually a saving man, although his average of 37 minutes per game is still very high, but he spends most of his time on the court with Yao Ming as a catch-and-shoot and passer.
The Mavericks fielded a lineup of Barria, Jason Terry, Marion, Nowitzki, Chandler.
Sun Ce's expression was ugly when he came on the court.
The Mavericks were too targeted today, and in the first six minutes of the first quarter, Nowitzki didn't play a single game, which hasn't happened in the previous 11 games.
Yao Ming is the first point of attack, it does not mean that other points of attack will not play, Nowitzki has to play alone, he has to play a threat to better contain the opponent's defense.
But Coach Carlisle took advantage of the Grizzlies' mentality that he would definitely pay attention to Nowitzki, and completely used Nowitzki as a role player at the beginning, and because the Mavericks team's offensive run was good, the Grizzlies' best defense against Nowitzki Battier's physical strength was consumed!
Nowitzki threw two shots in the first half quarter, 1 of 2, and Battier went on like this, and Nowitzki's physical exertion was very small.
So, Coach Hollins used Sun Ce, who slashed four doubles in the last game against the Mavericks, to defend Nowitzki.
After the pause, Mr. Tony and Mr. Tony's successor to the craft came to their respective defenders with a difficult task.
Jason Terry is a special player that Tony Allen is not sure to be able to prevent.
Sun Ce's side, I felt like I was going to die, and I was voted by Yao Ming at the beginning, and now I ......
Sure enough, the other party saw that it was Sun Ce who defended Nowitzki, and immediately created a single opportunity for Nowitzki, Chandler contained the basket, Bariala shot a three-pointer, Marion kept cutting and a three-point threat, and Jason Terry didn't want to physically confront Tony Allen from the three-point line and hoisted the ball into Nowitzki's hands.
Nowitzki opened Sun Ce's mid-range turnover golden rooster independent jumper......
It's difficult for this Sun Ce to even interfere, it's okay if he's taller, but if he's so short, he pounces on it, and he wants to break his eggs!
Nowitzki made a steady beep, and although the free throw line was not as exaggerated as Kobe's 52 percent shooting rate from close range, it also averaged 50 percent shooting per game!
Playing Sun Ce is like training, Nowitzki rolls over and hits a jumper!
Sun Ce retreated with a pout, received the serve and advanced quickly, and when he reached the front court, he handed the ball to Paul George and took Barria to the low post!
It's just to play scoundrels!
Tony Allen's side can be ignored, just block the cut, and the person who guards him can still collect the shot, but Jason Terry and Barria can't prevent Paul George from catching the ball and shooting, and the height difference is too big, so they can only use one of Jason Terry and Barria to defend Sun Ce.
You can guess that Sun Ce will definitely go to the low post, which is a standard 90s guard who will take advantage of all favorable factors, so use Barria who has a better defense in the low post to defend Sun Ce.
Sun Ce easily stuck the position, he is not like James with poor card skills, and his rebounds are not all pieboards, and many of them are also grabbed by himself, especially after activating Yao Ming's king of low positions, he has specially practiced key position skills.
Paul George passed the ball to Sun Ce, at this time Jordan Jr. sprinted to the middle distance of the baseline, so that Nowitzki, who was guarding the basket, was forced to expand, Paul George moved to the right 45-degree angle and Sun Ce was in the best connection position, Randolph stood at the free throw line to rest first, took Chandler, and Randolph waited for Sun Ce to finish chiseling him before chiseling.
After Sun Ce received the ball, because the object of the back hit was Barria, how good the vision was, and he knew the position of his teammates when he turned his head behind his back...... Resisted by Baria!
can carry James, although Barria is short, his strength is really good, and he didn't let Sun Ce directly enter the reasonable collision zone, but Sun Ce is not James, Sun Ce's turning action was retracted, and he made a hook shot in the face of the bottom line......
I threw so many mid-range shots at the beginning, and the feeling was already up, and the close-range hook was easily scored!
Chandler was replaced, Nowitzki could play center on the defensive end, Nowitzki could spread out like Dampier at his peak and be more effective, but the low post defense was much worse!
Chandler is good at helping to break through, but not good at shrinking low-post players, and his height of 216 cm in order to maintain the defense covering the near and medium distance and even the three-point line, after joining the Mavericks, he lost nearly 4 kilograms, and now he is only 108 kilograms, his defensive end now looks more like an enlarged version of Rashid Wallace, but he is not too good at carrying tonnage players, of course, with Nowitzki, who is more than 110 kilograms, on the inside, the Mavericks are not afraid.
It's just that when it comes to low-post singles on the outside, the Mavericks are in trouble.
Just like the situation of the Lakers and Mavericks in the original time and space, although it was a 4-0 sweep, but looking at the process, except for the fourth game when the Lakers' mentality collapsed, the first three games were very anxious, and the Mavericks had no way to suppress the Lakers in regular time, and they were always in a state of parity, but Nowitzki could score every key goal.
Nowitzki can carry Gasol or Bynum in the low post, Chandler can keep Gasol's mid-range shot and even help prevent Odom's shot from breaking inside, but Kobe Bryant's performance is very stable, plus the sparse shooting in the fourth game, the overall shooting rate is still 45%.
The Lakers rely on at least two players on the court who can shoot in the low post and from mid-range.
Sun Ce + Randolph, barely enough.
It's just that after the Mavericks determined that Randolph's mid-range shooting was unstable, Sun Ce's low-post pinch attack and mid-distance defense became stricter, which is okay, there is a pinch attack and a co-defense, Sun Ce can still pass the ball, the key is that the Mavericks' backcourt double guns are too powerful!
Sun Ce can't prevent Nowitzki, Randolph takes the initiative to go back to defend, and he can't prevent it, Paul George changes defenses, it still doesn't work, not to mention little Jordan, Randolph doesn't eat feints because he's too lazy to jump, Sun Ce and Paul George have good defensive awareness, basically won't eat a big man's feints, Nowitzki is all turned over and shot directly, and it can also affect Nowitzki's feel, after all, shooting against defenders has more or less some impact, but little Jordan, a little bit flew Nowitzki burst to the basket and dunked directly!
And, on Jason Terry's side, did very well!
Looking at the Mavericks, who broke out in the rotation stage, Coach Hollins on the sidelines felt that the other party was too shameless!
Actually used Nowitzki and Jason Terry to play the transition section!
