Playing Kidd has always been a headache for Sun Ce, and Kidd is no easier to deal with than Delong and Longduo for Sun Ce!

Don't look at the three meetings in the regular season, Sun Ce won, but his performance is a notch behind the other party!

It's just evenly matched that time.

In Sun Ce's opinion, Kidd is like a 1.93 meter and 1.93 version of him who is a few centimeters shorter than him who is 1.91 or 2, and he is countless times more mature!

In the same way, the stronger your teammates, the better your playmaking and attacking abilities will be.

Unlike Rondo, who usually grabs rebounds, when he needs to go around the pile to grab rebounds behind the strongest player in the opponent, and Sun Ce has a sense of rebounding, he can't fight against it, and he needs the help of his teammates to get stuck in the position.

Kidd has a top rebounding awareness, a height of nearly 95 kilograms at 193 cm, and a tonnage that can carry Kojanway in the low post.

It's really hard to deal with opponents who have the same characteristics as you, but are much better than you, because they know too well what you're going to do.

However, Kidd knows how Sun Ce will play on the court, and Sun Ce certainly knows Kidd's style of play very well.

It's mutual!

Moreover, there are some things that can't make up for it, such as Kidd's experience, Sun Ce can't catch up in a short time, and it's difficult to catch up for a long time; But Sun Ce's advantages, Kidd can't make up for it.

For example, the enigmatic height, flexibility, and most importantly, the Grizzlies played better overall!

Sun Ce came on the court with an extremely strong sense of purpose, he didn't think about opening up the score difference at all, as long as he could compete!

The referee signaled that the timeout was going to end and let the players of the two teams play, Sun Ce did a good job of psychological construction, determined the purpose of his play, and walked into the field with his teammates.

The Grizzlies brought on a combination of Son Ce, Anthony Parker, Battier, Randolph and Jordan Jr.

The aim is to try to disrupt the opponent's defensive rhythm with Sun Ce+Jordan Jr.'s counter-attacking speed and Anthony Parker's ability to catch the ball.

But unexpectedly, Nowitzki was actually replaced!

The Mavericks, for their part, fielded a lineup of Kidd, Jason Terry, Marion, Tim Thomas, and Haywood.

In the regular season, coach Carlisle kept Nowitzki on the court no matter how badly he played against Battier, wanting to fight poison with poison.

But in the playoffs, Coach Carlisle had to win as his number one goal.

If you don't play well, go down!

In order to prevent Nowitzki from continuing to languish in the playoffs, Coach Carlisle signed Tim Thomas, who voluntarily gave up nearly $3 million in salary with the Bulls after the All-Star Weekend.

Tim Thomas, who was once one of the villains of the double Thomas, gave up $3 million to enter the free market, but no one cared.

He's different from Kurt Thomas, both are bad guys, but Tim Thomas is pure, defensive, and no-nonsense, and the top five teams don't want him, so they can only choose the second-tier Mavericks.

Signing Tim Thomas, who is now only a mid-range shot and a weird temper, Coach Carlisle is also helpless.

The second round of the playoffs last year was too, and Nowitzki, who was at his peak, was not Anthony's opponent!

You must know that Nowitzki is a player who plays a little higher in the playoffs than in the regular season, not that Nowitzki's playoff performance has improved less than in the regular season, but Nowitzki's regular season has been a two-team regular for many years, and no matter how much he improves in the playoffs, he can't improve much.

Anthony is very good, yes, but he is a second-team player when he tops the sky, and Nowitzki is a first-team player many times! MVP-level players, who have grabbed 4 times in the peak double 21 in 9 years, even if the two retire on the spot, even if Nowitzki has not been cleared by the black spot of the black eight, Nowitzki's historical status is dozens of times higher than Anthony.

Last season, Nowitzki was a striker and Antony was three.

But in the second round last year, Coach Carlisle was coaching the Mavericks for the first time, and he felt that Anthony and Nowitzki would blow up each other, and Nowitzki would not fall behind no matter what happened.

But it was just enough to meet Anthony!

After being blocked by Stephen Jackson in '07, Morris Peterson in '08, and Anthony in '09, the whole league knows how to deal with Nowitzki.

It's just that the likes of Battier, Stephen Jackson, Maddy, and Anthony are hard to find in Nowitzki's players for the past two years, otherwise every team in the Western Conference playoff might get one back.

The Spurs were defeated by the Mavericks in the playoffs last season, and didn't they get Richard Jefferson back last summer.

When Nowitzki saw the Spurs bring in reinforcements, he felt like the whole world was targeting him......

……

After the timeout, Randolph walked to the free throw line for a 2+1 free throw.

A solid free throw shot made it 7-1 and gave the Grizzlies a six-point lead.

Mavericks offense.

Although there is no Nowitzki, Jason Terry's strong point is still there, Tim Thomas has a thorny attribute and a lot of off-court troubles, but he has been playing hard, and he has a great shot and a great run, and he joined the Mavericks after the buyout and played 18 regular season games, averaging 0.9 three-pointers per game, shooting 37 percent from the field, and 39 percent from the field with a two-point shooting rate, averaging 7.5 points per game in these 18 games.

Marion and Haywood are both dedicated players.

Instead, it allowed Kidd to smooth out the offense, and Tim Thomas scored a two-point shot from Marion to cut into the ball and then split the ball after the ball was two points long!

Shooting is Tim Thomas's ability, but Kidd took advantage of Jason Terry's high position, Marion's cut-in threat, and Haywood's two-meter-one-three pie-eating threat to help Tim Thomas get a shooting opportunity, which means that the Mavericks' offense has come alive!

Coach Hollins felt that Coach Carlisle really dared to think and do! Actually pressed Nowitzki to the bench.

But the Mavericks have a ...... lineup

As soon as Tim Thomas threw the ball in, Randolph, who took it back to make up for the defense, immediately picked up the ball and sent it to Sun Ce, who and Sun Ce and Jordan Jr. started a fast attack!

Kidd, Haywood, and Marion retreated back, and the three of them had a strong sense of defense and willingness, Jordan Jr. was blocked by Haywood and Kidd, Sun Ce was stuck by Marion, and the three defenses and two blocked Sun Ce and Jordan Jr.'s counterattack.

But at this time, Randolph followed up slowly, and Sun Ce immediately distributed the ball to Randolph, who received the ball and easily carried Tim Thomas to the basket.

DeSean Stevenson and Nowitzki went down and became Jason Terry and Tim Thomas...... Although Nowitzki's defense is only average, it will not lag behind, with enough tonnage and good rebounding awareness, and when he partners with Haywood to defend, he generally plays the role of a center in the basket position, Haywood assists in defense, and Tim Thomas is a negative point defense!

DeSean Stevenson has gained a foothold in the NBA by defending, and Jason Terry is very hard defensive, yes, but the effect is ......

Coach Carlisle tried his best to improve the offensive efficiency first, and the start was too ugly, and he did it.

But I can't take care of the beginning, but I can't take care of the end.

Sun Ce seized this opportunity and began to play a counterattack attack!

Try your best to avoid the positional battle, and fall into the positional battle, the Mavericks' high-speed rotation defense can still be done, and only by speeding up can you make full use of the two defensive black holes of Jason Terry and Tim Thomas!

Kidd was very helpless, he thought of a lot of ways to strangle Sun Ce, if the team rotation is normal, he can increase the intensity of confrontation in the playoffs, he can do it completely, but now he can only follow the attack!
