The first quarter of the Western Conference semifinals between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Mavericks was very unexpected.

The Seattle SuperSonics had no intention of exploiting the Mavericks' defensive weaknesses at all.

The defense also doesn't care at all if the Mavericks have a mismatch advantage.

This made the tactics and intrigues that Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle laid out before the game have no effect at all.

Okay, what about playing Milicic on the offensive end and protecting Nowitzki on the defensive end?

When attacking, there are better chances than playing Milicic.

When defending, the opponent is simply unfamiliar with Nowitzki.

It was something Carlisle had never dreamed of before the game began.

In the first quarter of the game, the Seattle SuperSonics obviously gave the Mavericks double the happiness.

But it's obviously double the happiness, why can't he be happy?

Not only was he unhappy, but Carlisle was also uncomfortable at this time.

The Seattle SuperSonics didn't target his team, but he felt as if he was being targeted at every turn.

It stands to reason that Yes is so willful on the court, and his calf should be able to take the lead at this time, after all, double the happiness.

But at the end of the first quarter, his team was eight points behind.

In the first quarter of the game, Marion, who had an absolute mismatch advantage, did not work very well when attacking Yes.

Although the Seattle SuperSonics' strong offense is played by their team's strong defensive players, the SuperSonics' offense has an incredible offensive efficiency.

This really puzzled Carlisle.

He is such a smart person, and he can't find a clue.

However, it doesn't matter if you can't find a clue, and the game is eight points behind in the first quarter, which is not a big deal, so don't be intimidated by Yes.

As long as there is no problem with your team's play, the opportunities that should come out are out, the ones that should be defended are all defended, and your players have no problems.

Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, no one in this world can see their own feel and see the feel of others, this is all providence.

The important thing now is to get the score back in the first quarter a little bit.

The Seattle SuperSonics' bench has been arguably the strongest bench in the NBA this season.

If it's a ten-man rotation against a ten-man rotation, the superSonics' bench lineup is indeed invincible.

In the regular season, the Mavericks are actually a ten-man rotation.

But when it comes to the playoffs, the Mavericks naturally won't fight with the SuperSonics for a ten-man rotation.

Barria, Monta Alice, Terry, Marion, Dampier.

The Mavericks' starting small forward, Marion, or the starting point Afralo, with the Mavericks' bench three spears, and Dampier, the former 'second' center in the West, are the regular rotation lineup for this season's playoffs.

Although the Mavericks have come to Marion this season, the depth of the forward line is still not enough, so Marion or Afflaro needs to play more.

There's no way to play a frenzied ten-man rotation like the Seattle SuperSonics.

Everyone knows the benefits of the ten-man rotation, don't worry about the arrangement of the lineup, eight, nine or even less seven, the six-man rotation can really make the head coach want to be bald, what players are good at what time, what players are on the court for too long and need to rest, what kind of players are not in good shape today, but there are no replacement players, so the main team can only play more, etc.

A bunch of messy things.

In fact, many of these things do not make Carlisle afraid.

He's a manager who likes a challenge.

What was he afraid of?

What he was afraid of was that even if he rotated nine people and eight people in rotation, he would not be able to beat the other party's ten-person rotation!

Just like the two teams on the pitch are doing now.

In the second quarter, Carlisle wanted his Dallas Mavericks' rotation to chase points.

Eight points behind the starters is not much.

But the first quarter of this game made him panic, and the first quarter of the game was too evil.

What should have been double happiness did not bring happiness, but brought sadness.

So the main players of the two teams faced each other again, and he was not sure if the game would be evil.

In this case, it's best to get the score a little closer, so as not to have a sinister garbage time at the end.

But what made Carlisle very uncomfortable was that.

The Dallas Mavericks' super offensive combination of Barria, Monta Alice, Terry, Marion and Daniel can't break the Seattle SuperSonics' all-bench rotation tonight!

You know, whether it's Barria or Terry or Monta Alice plus Marion, they are all players who are quite outstanding in offense, and this outside lineup, put it in the rotation lineup, it's even more cheating!

These players can kill each other directly in singles!

But now, this group of cheating lineups has actually been blocked!

James Harden, Matthews, Danny Green, Serge Ibaka, Gasol Jr......

Looking at these five rotation players on the Seattle SuperSonics court, Carlisle's eyes were straight.

Sessions and Tucker are not in the regular rotation of the SuperSonics, and tonight it is Matthews and Danny Green.

Matthews knows that this player made a name for himself when he played the Kings at the end of the regular season, and he can attack, defend, three-pointer, and run, and beat the Kings' prospective All-Star Kevin Martin in his first start of the season.

But Danny Green...... Where did this pop up?

Is the defense that strong?

Monta Alice!

Counting the offense alone, Monta Alice's offensive ability has definitely reached the All-Star level.

The first steel gun of the Mavericks' bench lineup, but now, the first steel gun of the Mavericks' bench lineup is completely covered by Green.

Even if he finally broke through Green's defense, he was either Ibaka or Gasol Jr. behind him.

It's just cruel!

"The Seattle SuperSonics' rotation is so strong defensively!"

Anthony, who was sitting on the sidelines, was stunned.

Originally, he thought that Tucker went down and replaced Danny Green to strengthen the offense, but unexpectedly, it was to strengthen the movement when defending.

The Mavericks are very coquettish in this year's NBA, and Barria, Terry and Alice, not to mention the rotation lineup, are the starting lineups of NBA teams, and it is difficult to find defensive players who match these three players.

They Nuggets don't, and even James' Heat can't find such a great three-guard bench.

But the Seattle SuperSonics do!

And each one of them is quite good.

"The Seattle SuperSonics' squad is too thick, and any player can really be found!"

"The Seattle SuperSonics' bench lineup is a treasure trove that feels like it can be targeted against any lineup."

"The Mavericks' bench three-gun lineup is the most difficult bench lineup, and it can be matched so easily."

"There is no problem with the first in the history of the hard power of the first eight players of the Heat, but the hard power of the top 15 players of the SuperSonics is also the first in history, and the thickness of the lineup is too deep!"

"After all, Yes's cultivation ability is too strong, and it is said that the future of supersonic is the future of fifteen all-stars, originally I didn't believe it, but now, I think I believe it!"

Listening to the amazed voices of his teammates and other NBA players around him, Anthony kept nodding his head.

The Mavericks, such a powerful bench lineup, were actually held down by the supersonic like this.

With such a strong Mavericks bench lineup, it seems that the only thing left with the ability to score is the former supersonic player Barria.

"The feud between JJ and James has not been resolved."

"yes, after all, JJ is still the team that left because of James."

Barria played quite fiercely against James Harden on the bench.

If it weren't for Barria on the bench tonight to support the Mavericks' situation and rotate the lineup, the Mavericks would have been almost beaten.

James Harden and Barria were very close to each other on the bench.

Barria is going to prove that he's better than James Harden.

James Harden also wants to prove that he is better suited to the SuperSonics than Barria.

If Alice and Terry Marion are in good form, Barria definitely won't have that many chances in this game, but they are all suppressed, and only Barria can fight against James Harden.

So the Mavericks' rotation lineup, a lot of the ball is concentrated in Barria's hands.

The matchup between Barria and James Harden is basically five-five.

James Harden can't guard against Barria, and Barria can't guard against James Harden.

But the game was not one-on-one, with James Harden and Gasol Jr. behind him.

But behind Barria was Dampier......

Therefore, although the one-on-one between the two is five or five, but after the one-on-one, the offensive efficiency of the two is not at the same level at all.

Faced with the team's overall vulnerability, Carlisle was desperate.

The team's physical strength is weak, and it is impossible for him to let the team's main team come back too early.

But in such a situation, the team can't let the rotation lineup play for too long.

Originally, according to his plan, if the team's rotation time could suppress the SuperSonics, he hoped that the rotation lineup could play half a quarter or more.

Clearly, his plan had failed once again.

Don't say it's half a section or more.

Even after only five minutes of play, when the main players of the two teams came up one after another, the score on the court became 50-36.

Both teams are already on the verge of swooping in the direction of 15 points.

If it is really according to Carlisle's plan, play for six or seven minutes and then change, it is estimated that the score difference will go to 20 minutes.

Fortunately, after the starters of both sides came on the court in the second quarter, there was no strong attack in the first quarter of the game, but Nowitzki, who responded to his teammates' attacks, continued to attack and stabilize the decline of the Mavericks.

In the face of Nowitzki's strong attack, Yes had no choice.

He could see the Mavericks' hand, and Afflalo and Marion were unwittingly toyed with in the first quarter.

But Nowitzki's weird feel beats and is really incomprehensible.

Even if he could see Nowitzki's hand, it didn't work.

Nowitzki's hand beating is when defending, all of it is low, and the time of offense is all master.

How do you get it?

This feel distribution is simply against the sky.

Nowitzki is also the second player Yes has come across who can't defend in terms of feel.

The last player who couldn't do anything about it even if he could see it was his teammate Durant.

Durant's hand beats without any rules, and it is useless to know that it is useless to see.

Durant: There's no way to predict.

Nowitzki is not necessary to predict, and he is a master when attacking.

However, although the Mavericks have maintained the team's decline under Nowitzki's strong attack.

But Carlisle on the sidelines was not so happy, and even his face was still bitter.

Nowitzki's offense is now in shape, but his defense and his fitness are declining with his age.

The reason why Nowitzki used himself as a containment and coerced his teammates in the first half was because of physical strength.

Why were the Mavericks forced to tie seven by the Timberwolves in the first round?

Also because of physical fitness.

For the Mavericks, Nowitzki's fitness is the most important secret weapon.

As long as Nowitzki can save his physical strength until the last moment, as long as the Mavericks hold the gap in the score before Nowitzki breaks out, at the last moment, whether it is against the SuperSonics, the Lakers or even the Heat, they will not be afraid!

That's how they beat the Heat this season, biting in front and Nowitzki in the back.

Now Now's early harvest means that the Mavericks' playing potential is depleted.

At halftime, the score was 67-55 between the two teams, and the Dallas Mavericks were still tied by two points under Nowitzki.

However, after halftime, at the beginning of the third quarter, after Nowitzki put away the edge again, the Dallas Mavericks were not able to hold on.

Marion's misplaced play against Yes is still bad, and on the side of the Seattle SuperSonics, Yes's attack is still not deliberately hitting Nowitzki.

In the rotation lineup stage, the supersonic still comprehensively suppressed the Mavericks.

135 to 110!

When the game ended, the Seattle SuperSonics beat the Mavericks by 25 points at home to the cheers of the supersonic fans in the stadium.

"Incredible...... Although I knew that this game could be won by the Seattle SuperSonics, I didn't expect this game to be won by such a big margin. ”

It's not just that many expert journalists didn't expect to win so big.

Carlisle didn't expect to lose so much, either.

Of course he thought about losing this game, but he really didn't want to lose so much.

And what's even more terrible than losing is that he still doesn't understand why Yes defense is messing around, offense doesn't play Dirk, why can't this double happiness bring joy?

Carlisle is really puzzled!

And in front of the TV, James and the Heat players were also puzzled after watching the game.

"Yes is so messy in this game, can you win the Mavericks by 25 points? This is the Mavericks, one of the so-called four super powerhouses in the West? Are those super strong teams in the West so good? Aren't they all regular season teams? ”

Are the Mavericks a regular season team?

James didn't speak, but he felt his teammates had a point.

Otherwise, it can't be explained, yes is so messy, and you can still start to suppress the Mavericks.

The Mavericks' bench lineup is so strong that they can't even break the defense of the supersonic outside line.

Thinking of this, James and Wade watched Nowitzki hugging Yes on TV with great disdain.

They have always looked down on this guy who is now blown into a bubble.

That is, you can't meet the finals, otherwise, hum.
