When Sun Ce supported his two arms with his knees and bit the fingertips of his left thumb to think, the game began.

Haywood won the jump ball over Gasol Jr., and the Mavericks took the lead.

Kidd pushed forward and gave the ball to Nowitzki, who was leaning against Battier from the middle distance on the left side of the free-throw line.

Kidd began to direct his teammates to run, pulling himself to the right side of the top arc, Marion cut in from a 45-degree angle on the left side and went around the basket to take away Randolph, who could go to the defense of Nowitzki, DeSean Stevenson opened up space in the left corner, and Haywood blocked Marion under the basket......

Nowitzki got a very good single opportunity and hit Battier with a high back jumper......

Hit!

The Mavericks' tactics have changed!

Instead of attacking with Nowitzki as a threat point as before, it became dominated by Nowitzki's single ball!

Kidd is really a magical point guard, he can organize the offense with and without the ball, direct teammates to run according to the opponent's defensive position, put Nowitzki in an excellent single position, and take the initiative to help Nowitzki find opportunities to be pinched, so that Nowitzki can rely on the vision brought by the height advantage to divide the ball.

However, the Grizzlies have a lot of trust in Battier's defense, and no one will attack Nowitzki even if he is in a situation where he could be caught in the first attack.

Then Nowitzki singled the ball in.

With just this one goal, it is obvious that Nowitzki's form has returned!

The technology has not changed, and I am very confident when I make a shot!

Now it's a problem!

Although I had already guessed that Nowitzki had broken the psychological barrier, it still felt troublesome when it came to the game.

Fortunately, today they are more open than in the last game when Nowitzki suddenly broke out, and they can't defend alone, so they come from the offensive end.

Conley pressed the tempo to the front court and noticed a strange thing......

Randolph arrived in the front court and was about to go to the low post position, but found that it was Heywood who was defending him! Gasol Jr. had mentioned that the high post was ready to play the pass, and Nowitzki defended it.

Nowitzki has the height advantage of a traditional center forward and a lot more flexibility than a center forward, with Gasol Jr. on the defensive end and Haywood defending against Randolph.

So, Randolph pulled into the middle distance, and it was always a little more tiring to play Heywood than to play Nowitzki, and Gasol Jr. immediately went into the low post.

Conley hoisted the ball to Gasol Jr., who lifted it high and threw it up!

Gasol Jr. rarely plays in the low post, the turning speed is not fast enough, the explosiveness is not enough, only pure power, but it is enough to play Nowitzki, carrying Nowitzki sideways with a wide body, and raising the ball with the other hand to throw, Nowitzki can't prevent it!

Nowitzki can still carry most of the inside line, and the previous defense of Randolph is also very smart, consciously turning Randolph to the bottom line to guide it, but Haywood's lack of defensive awareness does not know how to grasp the fact that Nowitzki did not pass the high field of vision when he guided Randolph to the bottom line, and the contraction was always untimely, and Randolph easily scored.

Now that the defense has changed, Haywood's direct single defense can rely on the board to give Randolph some interference in the confrontation, but back to the basket, Nowitzki really can't stop Gasol Jr.'s low back.

In the next round of attack, Nowitzki was a back-to-back single, this time he didn't throw, unlike the previous one who didn't dare to throw, purely because he didn't shoot well, but he shot decisively.

Gasol Jr. opened the game with two high-flying throws over Nowitzki's head.

The closer you get to the basket, the easier it is to score, no matter how accurate the outside shot is, it will not change this, even if the Warriors in the future are based on role players as the main means of scoring, and no matter how accurate the outside tsunami combination is, the Warriors will make 13 three-pointers in a game, accounting for only one-third of the team's total points.

Gasol Jr. went to the low post single, forcing the Mavericks to make only two choices, Haywood switching back, or Haywood going to the pinch.

In short, there is no way to avoid the fact that the center cannot hold the three-second zone.

The Grizzlies, for their part, are trying to exploit weaknesses on the defensive end.

Even if the opponent's attack is unpredictable, the defense can find the weakness to target.

Nowitzki plays well offensively and can stay on the court for a long time, so the Mavericks' interior defense is relatively better, but only a little stronger than Tim Thomas and Chris Singleton, two defenses equal to side effects.

However, Nowitzki's turnaround jumper is no one, and he has 4 consecutive singles in the opening game, shooting 3 of 4! Forcing the Grizzlies to move their defense to a high position, the Mavericks relied on Nowitzki's singles and Kidd's command to not fall into disadvantage in the opening stage!

In the fourth minute of the first quarter, 13-11, the Grizzlies led by two points, and the Mavericks called a timeout.

Sun Ce was called by name and was ready to play.

The Mavericks' style of play surprised Sun Ce, and the Grizzlies' tactical meeting didn't expect that the Mavericks actually played singles tactics!

Isn't this the singles tactics of the junior general Johnson's era?

It's just that with Kidd, the offensive movement is more fluid!

In the first stage, the positional battle was offensive against Biao...... It's hard to imagine a game from the Grizzlies, but that's it today!

In terms of the starting stage alone, Sun Ce felt that his side still maintained a slight advantage.

Although Battier couldn't lock up Nowitzki as before, he was able to give interference, and Nowitzki barely had a faceframe single, because the faceframe singles really couldn't deal with Battier's defense.

Back then, he was prevented by Stephen Jackson from a psychological disorder, and he was really defended, and Nowitzki would only play in the frame of the era of singles, Stephen Jackson, Maddy, Battier and others defended very well, such as the 2005 Rockets 2-0 lead, it was Maddie who defended Nowitzki, even if Nowitzki broke out in the last two games, Novitzki only had a 35% shooting rate in the entire series.

However, as long as Nowitzki has no psychological barriers, he dares to throw, and there is no solution to playing with his back!

Coach Hollins laid out the defense, and on the offensive end, Coach Hollins' tactical ability was barely top-notch, and the defense was really good, and the impregnable defense that he and assistant coach Jogel created for the Grizzlies starters was no joke.

When setting up defensive tactics, predict that the opponent will switch to a better attacking lineup.

And the Grizzlies' own offense depends on Sun Ce to be responsible for the organization.

After the game started, Sun Ce saw that the opponent's interior defense was weak and he was struggling......

Now, I decided to use it!

As soon as my mind moved, the system screen popped up.
