1151. Jason Terry, King of the Ends
If Jason Terry and Crawford are allowed to play against each other on offense and defense one-on-one, there may not be much difference between the two, but Jason Terry singles is facing Crawford, and Crawford is facing Liu Mang in singles!
The defenses encountered are not at all the same level!
Jason Terry playing Crawford is equal to hitting the air, and Crawford playing Liu Mang, when playing well, although Liu Mang can't completely restrict Crawford, but using the basket to pinch and block three points, plus Crawford's ability to pass the basket is very average, the vision is extremely poor, and he doesn't use high-speed rotation defense, but uses pinching to deal with Crawford, and Crawford's side is miserable.
During the last timeout, Mike Woodson re-made defensive arrangements, Crawford was on the court, and he defended normally, and after Crawford broke into the depths, he was pinched again, and Liu Mang was single-handed, and the mid-range pull-up jump shot was considered powerful, and he was not given a chance to share the ball from the outside.
And on Jason Terry's side, there are Liu Mang and Maddie left and right protectors to open up space, and they are good at mid-range pull-up jump shots, and soon cut 9 points in a row with Liu Mang to overtake the score and open up a 5-point difference!
Originally, the Eagles couldn't prevent Liu Mang from playing alone, but now there is another Jason Terry! The focus is on defending whoever is the other, Maddie's side is the most stable point, and the Mavericks dare not let go, but they don't have as many as three outside defensive giants at the level of the Hawks' best defensive lineup, their defense is a good team, and they can be regarded as the originator of unlimited defensive changes, but in the face of Liu Mang and Jason Terry's soaring today, they have been in a state of backwardness since the second half of the first quarter.
At the end of the first quarter, the Hawks scored 31 points, while the Mavericks only scored 23 points!
Crawford was a bit of a mental explosion by Jason Terry.
"Alternatives".
It's a word that's really hurtful for an NBA star.
If it weren't for Nowitzki's 5 points in a row in the second half of the first quarter, the Mavericks might have scored 18 points in seven minutes, and finally scored less than a double in a single quarter, Crawford made 5 shots and 0 in the last 4 minutes after the official timeout in the first quarter! From a 2-of-2 hit rate to a 2-of-7 hit!
However, just like Maddy's stable average of 22+4+5 per game this season, Nowitzki is also mainly stable in the Mavericks, averaging 30+ per game in March, but he didn't score 40 points once.
In the past two years, Maddie has played very steadily except for the occasional three-point wave shot, and he has played very steadily at other times, passing and shooting, Nowitzki and Maddie are very similar, and they are a stable and absolute strong point, and the number of outbreaks of the two is relatively small, and stability is the mainstay.
Of course, this is because their team is strong, they don't need to break out and waste physical strength, Maddie is born with poor physical strength, Nowitzki is a seven-foot big man, even if he plays less hand-to-hand combat, but he is still the Mavericks rebounding king, and physical strength is also very important.
Nowitzki scored 8 points in the first quarter, but the Mavericks only scored 23 points as a team!
On the Hawks' side, Liu Mang scored 11 points and 2 assists, Jason Terry scored 10 points, Maddy made a three-pointer, Kwame Brown scored 4 points, plus Josh Smith's two points and two free throws, leading the Mavericks by 8 points in a single quarter!
……
The Hawks led by eight points in the first quarter, giving a big psychological advantage to the rest of the game.
In the second quarter, the Mavericks were not limited to Crawford's singles, but Johnson's adaptability was really average, from the eighth and a half minutes of the first quarter to the eleventh minute, two and a half minutes were stunned without calling a timeout, and the Hawks beat the difference a little more, or Nowitzki took the initiative to ask for the ball to score 5 points.
Finally at the interjunctive break, the Mavericks made adjustments, and it was one-on-one!
Whoever has a good chance and a good hand will be singles.
Facing a large number of quasi-first-class singles masters of the Mavericks, the Hawks did not fall behind, Liu Mang, Maddie, and Jason Terry took turns to hold the ball in singles, Liu Mangquan, Jason Terry Lang, and Maddie were on par with the Mavericks' singles masters!
Liu Mang once again felt that if a passer with relatively weak scoring ability did not have the strength of a magician, he would not be able to go far in the playoffs, and in the face of the Mavericks' defense, he really couldn't play too much team cooperation, but a star like Kobe Bryant's style of play played very easily in the face of the Mavericks, and the Spurs faced the Mavericks 1-3 in the regular season this season, because Duncan's one-on-one strength became worse.
The Eagles are three eagles, Nowitzki scores a few points in a row, Maddie or Jason Terry can return the singles, and the others are biao, and Liu Mang is with them, a strong one-on-three.
The lead is snowballing, and the psychological pressure on Crawford's side is getting bigger and bigger!
In the middle of the third quarter, Crawford faced Liu Mang's defensive mid-range strong shot and missed, and his face was already a little desperate!
Jason Terry scored consecutive points from the beginning, first scoring 10 points in 5 minutes in the first quarter, 12 points in 8 minutes in the second quarter, and in the first six minutes of the third quarter, Jason Terry continued to come up and scored 9 points, and before the third quarter was over, he had scored 31 points on 10-of-17 shooting!
Crawford's side hit the iron this time, and he happened to shoot 17 times, but only 5 of 17 shots, and only scored 14 points!
Liu Mang saw the desperation in Crawford's eyes, received the ball and quickly rushed to the front court, and took the initiative to find Crawford who retreated.
Liu Mang faced Crawford and learned Crawford's continuous crotch dribbling movements.
The improvement of limbs and joints made Liu Mang learn this kind of thing quickly, mainly because he was good at dribbling.
Crawford watched Liu Mang dribble with a continuous crotch that was as angry as himself, and felt his scalp tingle!
Liu Mang said to Crawford while dribbling: "Your idea is right, you are just a replacement for Jason, or a defective product." ”
After Liu Mang finished speaking, he suddenly took a big step forward in an Iverson-like way, and Crawford's side was hit by Liu Mang's words and hit his young heart, and he was thrown away at once.
Liu Mang accelerates the breakthrough!
After breaking into the inside, Liu Mang did not pass out when he encountered the bag, but switched the ball to his left hand, and the Mavericks' Dampier and Josh Howard felt very weird when they contracted back to attack, Liu Mang jumped from the right side of the three-second zone to the left side slowly, and suddenly jumped back to the basket, and hit a backhand layup with his left hand!
Ginobili's Demon Knife Pace!
It's still very good to use once in a while.
85-64, only halfway through the third quarter, the Hawks have already scored 85 points!
Jason Terry finished Crawford, broke Crawford's mentality, and led the Hawks to a 21-point lead before the third quarter was played!
……
Jason Terry proved himself in this fight!
Jason Terry, who was hilarious, didn't want to get off the court, so Coach Kruger left him on the court and continued to wave.
Coach Kruger has always been very tolerant and apologetic to Jason Terry, and now although some teams have begun to put the team's best outside players on the bench, public opinion was not particularly supportive of this approach at first, because Jason Terry played like this, and other teams began to imitate it, so there is the word "sacrifice".
Jason Terry went from being the Eagle King at the beginning, to Raheem, to becoming the second, then to the third, and now ...... Sixth?
So although Kison Terry has some trouble off the court and often bullies rookies like Granger and David Lee, Iguodala and Josh Smith were also bullied last season, and Coach Kruger just asked the good old man Rasheed Wallace to comfort the rookie, and he is very tolerant of Jason Terry's big mouth and troublemaker's personality, and is not calm and tolerant of Jason Terry's style of play on the court.
Moreover, Jason Terry played really well today, before garbage time, he scored 31 points on 17 shots in 20 minutes, and if he didn't score 40 points, Coach Kruger felt it was too wasteful.
In the middle of the third quarter, after the point difference was stretched to 21 points, the Mavericks stopped struggling, Crawford, the team's second-best scorer, played so badly that he couldn't play, if Crawford played well, he could match Jason Terry, their scoring ability was not weaker than the Hawks, but Crawford was so pitiful, Nowitzki couldn't do 28 points in the third quarter.
Coincidentally, at halftime, General Johnson saw the game between the Suns and the Heat, which started two hours earlier than the Mavericks and Hawks, the Suns lost and are now 21 points behind, the opponent Liu Mang 22 points and 6 assists in the third quarter, Jason Terry 31 points in the third quarter, and Maddie 16 points in the third quarter.
Next, the Mavericks played back-to-back games with the Nuggets and Lakers at No. 31 and No. 1, and while still sitting in the third position in the West, the Mavericks chose to give up strategically.
Thereupon......
In garbage time, Jason Terry explained to Maddie what the real "King of the End" is!
In the second half of the third quarter, Jason Terry had a pure bench lineup, mainly passing, but suddenly soared for so long in the fourth quarter, scoring 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting, and stunned to improve his score to 42 points......
Jason Terry scored in garbage time, and it was garbage time in the case of a big lead, and the Mavericks were ready to do it.
But that's when Jason Terry decisively asked to be off......
The Hawks' bench began to boo when they heard Jason Terry say he wanted to rest.
Teammates, boo, teammates!
This guy is really shameless, the Mavericks thought he was just pressing on the court, who knew that he suddenly threw 6 in a row, two of which were Josh Smith's second offense with an offensive rebound, and he scored 11 points in 3 minutes.
Originally, Crawford hated Jason Terry to the core, and now, the Mavericks hate Jason Terry, by the way...... The Eagles are also hated!
