"Stop, there's a big problem with our defense here, Nicholas is too far back, giving Butler a lot of room to shoot, and it's too late for him to catch the ball and want to defend it!"

In the afternoon, everyone came to the stadium early to study the video of the last game, and whenever he saw something wrong, Pritchard would pause the video and point out the problem.

After carefully watching the game video, Xue Ding knew very well that the Mavericks' offensive tactics were not complicated.

The first was for the Kidd organization to look for opportunities, and the others kept running and cutting, and finally there was no chance to get the ball into Nowitzki's hands and let him play alone.

Although Nowitzki didn't play well in the second half in the last game, he still used his strong deterrent on the offensive end to attract the attention of his own side of the defense.

It gives the other people a lot of chances and they all get their due.

"And here, the lack of concentration of the defense gave Marion the opportunity to cut directly to the basket, Kidd shoved the ball straight to the basket, and Marion scored easily under the basket!" Continuing to watch the footage, Pritchard took another pause and replayed the round.

......

"Okay, now we've watched the video of yesterday's game, although we still have some holes in defense, but we can still pass, but our outside shooters didn't play well, so it led to our first game loss! But that's okay, I'm sure we'll keep winning back in the next game! ”

"Do you have any thoughts after watching the game video, we can discuss it with each other!" After watching the video, Pritchard said as he looked at the players sitting on the ground.

Andre Miller said: "I don't think we need to change our defensive strategy for the next game, Juwan has defended very well in the second half and didn't give Nowitzki too many opportunities to shoot, so I think in the next game we just need to continue our previous defensive strategy, just need to have more contact and movement with each other on the court, I believe that as long as we stay focused on the court, we can win the game!" ”

"That's right, just stay focused on the pitch and we'll win the game!" Brandon Roy also stood up and chimed in.

Pritchard nodded after listening to Old Miller and Roy's words, his gaze stayed on Xue Ding, it was obvious that he wanted to listen to this rookie's advice at this time.

After a season of competition, rookie Xue Ding's mature performance on the field and the ghost ideas that pop up from time to time can always have miraculous effects.

At this time, Old Miller and Roy also stopped their eyes on Xue Ding.

Obviously, rookie Xue Ding has fully gained everyone's trust.

"In the next game, I think we should change our lineup and put Andre as the starting point guard, Batum to mark Dirk, and Greg to start!"

Speaking of this, Xue Ding deliberately paused, observed everyone's expressions, and found that they didn't mean to interrupt him, so he continued.

"Our advantage is that we can run and jump, so we have to get the rhythm up and Greg moves a lot faster than Chandler so we can transition faster and we can't win games with them!"

"Xue, your idea is too avant-garde, you mean to give up the height of the inside line and strengthen the mobility, so that there is only Greg alone in the real sense of the inside line on our field, and our inside line will be blown up!" Brandon Roy was obviously suspicious after listening to Xue Ding's words.

Of course, it's normal for Brandon to have doubts, although they also used such a small lineup in the regular season, but the intensity of confrontation in the playoffs and the regular season is obviously different.

Moreover, in the playoffs, both sides almost know the roots, and the defense of both sides is more targeted, so it is too risky to change the lineup.

If this game is lost again, then the Mavericks will have a match point.

Of course, Xue Ding understood Brandon's concerns, Xue Ding stood up and turned to Roy and said: "Brandon, you're right, this is indeed a bit risky, but we have to make changes, so that the change of formation is unexpected, maybe we can win this game, they must not have thought that we would change the formation like this!" ”

Roy stopped Xue Ding's words and thought to himself, now they really need to make changes, after all, Ade is injured for the season, and it is really difficult to continue to compete with the Mavericks without surprises.

"Brandon, we have an ancient saying in China called wealth and danger, which means that if you want to get what you want, you often need to take risks, give it a try!" Xue Ding is trying his best to persuade Brandon Roy.

Roy looked at Xue Ding's determined eyes and finally nodded, choosing to believe Xue Ding.

Although Andre Miller felt that Xue Ding's idea was indeed a bit risky, although he was not yet in the desperate situation of going home after losing, he knew in his heart that the impact of not having Ade's inside line on them was too great, and he also thought that he could take a risk.

Pritchard saw that both Roy and Miller agreed with Xue Ding's idea of taking the risk, and decided to give it a try.

Although the first three games of the two sides were relatively close, in terms of personnel allocation and the overall state of the team, the Mavericks are better than the Trail Blazers.

As the series progresses and they get to know each other better, it becomes harder and harder for the Trail Blazers to win.

Of course, if Ade is not injured, Pritchard is confident of taking out the Mavericks.

But now he had to take the risk.

"Okay, then let's give it a try, if it doesn't work, we'll change back to the previous lineup, and then we'll rehearse this new lineup!" Pritchard looked at Xue Ding and said after careful consideration.

Soon after a bit of activity on the sidelines, the starters and substitutes were divided into two teams and began to practice tactics.

Although there was no confrontation during the drill, it was still a bit chaotic on the field at first, but after gradually getting used to it, the cooperation between each other became better and better.

Although there is a big disadvantage on the inside, the mobility of this lineup covers up this weakness very well, and Chandler in the substitute lineup immediately came up as soon as he got the ball on the inside.

When Chandler's domineering spirit was passed out, the advantage in mobility was revealed, despite Fernandez, who was initially empty.

Roy quickly blocked him as he received the ball, not giving him any chance to shoot at all.

Fernandez took two steps inside with the ball and passed it to Webster, who cut to the basket.

"Smack!"

Just when Webster received the ball and was about to go to the basket, he suddenly felt empty in his hand, and the ball was cut off by the quick-eyed Xue Ding.

Xue Ding held the ball and rode the dust, counterattacked a dragon, and scored the ball steadily!
