But people always change, since Stackhouse came to the Mavericks, the whole person has been much more low-key, and there are no complaints about him playing off the bench this season, as if he has received a socialist education and reformed himself......

and has said many times in front of the media that the person he admires most in the entire NBA is Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson, and only Johnson knows him best in the entire league......

"Well, Diop, you come on for Dampier, pay attention to Yao Ming's defense under the basket, don't let Yao Ming stand on the free throw line too much, this big guy's free throws are too accurate!" Johnson continued to line up.

Although Dampier is still nominally the starting center at the moment, he is now almost equal to Diop's playing time, and in terms of defensive ability, Diop is actually better than Dampier at the moment.

"Haha, in the end, Nowitzki's position will be handed over to our newcomer Li Tuanjie to try, let's see what kind of performance Li Tuanjie will bring us!"

When he heard that Johnson asked himself to replace Nowitzki on the stage, Li Tuanjie was full of smiles and was simply happy!

"Li unity, relax, if you appear in a while, you need to be nervous, just play as if it were our usual training!" Nowitzki looked at Li Tuanjie with a smile on his face and said with a smile.

He can feel Li Tuanjie's excitement, he also came from the rookie period, and when he appeared on the stage for the first time, his mood was as excited as Li Tuanjie!

"Alright, guys, get ready to play, Josh, Maddie will be up to you, Starkhouse will defend Battier."

……

Following in the footsteps of the veterans, Li Tuanjie walked on the court!

Tens of thousands of Mavericks home fans at the scene also gave warm applause when they saw rookie Li Tuanjie debut, and rookies are the future for the team!

After a long timeout on the Mavericks' side, a semi-main and half-bench lineup was used, and after the Rockets took a timeout, the lineup did not change, and it was still the starting lineup!

Li Tuanjie was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that this is only a preseason game, and he can't make Yao Ming and Maddie, who have never been very healthy, work so hard, right?!

You must know that last season, Yao Ming and Maddy missed most of the games due to health problems, and this season, theoretically, the most important thing the Rockets should do is to keep the health of the two absolute cores of the team!

Reducing the average minutes per game and taking a proper rotation are all good ways to keep players healthy, but it doesn't work with Rockets head coach Van Gundy......

Most fans should know what kind of head coach Van Gundy is, his tactical style is to the main team, desperately prolong the playing time of the main players, which is in stark contrast to Spurs head coach Popovich.

Yao Ming has such a large tonnage, if he plays for a long time, it will definitely have a greater load on the body than those backcourt players, last season, Yao Ming only played more than 50 games, and in these more than 50 games, Yao Ming played an average of nearly 35 minutes per game.

It stands to reason that after the lessons of last season, Van Gundy should rest Yao Ming as much as possible this season, averaging 30 minutes per game, which is good for both the Rockets' record and Yao Ming's career.

However, judging from today's game, Van Gundy obviously won't do this, just a preseason game, Yao Ming and Maddy have to be on the field all the time.

……

Dallas Mavericks' possession, point guard Terry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Li Tuanjie immediately stepped forward to block and dismantle for Terry, which is a tactic they practiced in the offseason, and it is basically a two-man rotation strategy of replicating Nowitzki and Terry.

In fact, a team has some tactics for certain players in addition to some overall tactical guidelines!

For example, the current Li Tuanjie, Johnson just saw that Li Tuanjie and Nowitzki's style of play was somewhat similar, so he copied the elephant and mouse game to see the effect of such a game.

A big man like Li Tuanjie blocking and dismantling, the effect is definitely much stronger than that of a small man, Terry used Li Tuanjie's blocking and dismantling, and smoothly threw off Alstom's one-on-one defense and rushed towards the inside line!

It's a pity that this inside line hasn't rushed in yet, Hayes, who came out to help defend halfway, don't look at the sea coconut is not tall and only 198 cm, but it is still easy to break through Terry's inner line!

Terry had no choice but to pass the basketball back to Li Tuanjie!

At the moment, Hayes, who is opposite Lee United, has gone to defend Terry, and it is Alstom who defends Lee United!

Misalignment advantage! Li Tuanjie singled Alston simply not too easy.

One step inside the three-point line, Li Tuanjie received Terry's pass, and without the slightest hesitation, he stepped back and shot, and shot directly.

This ball Li Tuanjie shot extremely comfortably, and as soon as the basketball flew out of his palm, he already had a premonition of hitting!

Sure enough, as Li Tuanjie expected, the ball flew over Alstom's head and entered the net neatly!

The only pity is that after Li Tuanjie stepped back, his foot stepped on the three-point line, only five or six centimeters away, this ball can be counted as three points!

scored the first goal of his career, although Li Tuanjie was excited, but his more restrained personality made him just smile on his face and did not do anything to celebrate.

"Haha, Li Tuanjie is good, this ball is very reasonable, taking advantage of the dislocation, he stood in front of Alstom to shoot, Alstom has no way to take him, beautiful, really beautiful!"

Seeing Li Tuanjie's easy two-point hit, Zhang Weiping, a domestic CCTV commentator, did not hesitate to praise himself and praised Li Tuanjie fiercely.

"Director Zhang is right, we can see that Li Tuanjie's basic skills are extremely solid, this offensive round, his performance is perfect, not flustered, it's hard to believe, this is a newcomer with no experience!" Su Qun also praised Li Tuanjie on the side.

Li Tuanjie's performance just now can indeed be called perfect, helping Terry to block and dismantle, and when Terry bursts in, he immediately starts to run without the ball, waiting for Terry's possible pass!

After receiving the pass, in the face of Alstom's defense, Li Tuanjie clearly recognized his misplaced advantage, did not panic, and directly projected head-on against Alstom's defense!

With such a mature performance, it really makes people can't believe that Li Tuanjie is a newcomer who is making his first appearance in the NBA!

Generally speaking, newcomers will inevitably encounter inattention or timid scenes when they make their debut, and these situations do not appear at all in Li Tuanjie!
