CHAPTER XXXVI
"Ink. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info you start tonight. Van Gundy said to Moxi. During this period of hard work, Moxi was recognized by Van Gundy, and in this game, Moxi returned to the starting lineup.
Mo Xi secretly cheered himself up, facing Sean Bradley in this game, at this time he had not experienced Maddie's death buckle, and he was also a well-known "master" in the league. Standing at 7 feet 6 inches tall and weighing more than 230 pounds, it is an absolute nightmare for the vast majority of players, despite looking a little thin.
Mo Xi felt it directly at the first time.
The two sides jumped the ball, and Mo Xi jumped up, only to find that Shaun Bradley on the opposite side just jumped in lightly and directly pushed the ball back in front of Mo Xi, and at this time, Mo Xi's hand just reached his wrist.
The Mavericks advanced directly, and Nash didn't even dribble for more than three seconds, almost seeing an opportunity to pass the ball directly.
When Finley received the ball, he didn't shoot directly, but borrowed the cover of Nowitzki, who had just reached the high post, dribbled a step backwards, came to the three-point line, and shot directly.
Unfortunately, just at the beginning, neither side felt very hot, Finley's three-point was missed, and Andrew Long, who was promoted to the starter, won the rebound.
Just now the Mavericks' offensive is extremely unrestrained and free, which is very Nelson.
There is still a big gap between Nelson's bombardment and D'Antoni's. D'Antoni's bombardment relies too much on a good point guard, who must be able to pass and shoot, and preferably single. In D'Antoni's tactics, the most emphasis is placed on space, and the formation must be stretched, such as the classic "V" fast break, emphasizing the three-point shot on both wings, and preferring to use the fast No. 4 position that can shoot. And Nielsen's is not so particular, Nielsen's tactical core has only one word "Freedom", replaced by Chinese is freedom, Nielsen's tactics are no tactics, fully show the player's own talent, is fast, NellieBall (translated is Nielsen's basketball), in fact, is a mess, both sides become a colander, to see who has a higher hit rate. 、
But after all, Nelson has only just built the Mavericks for a season and a half, and despite their good results last season, they now face one of the most disciplined teams in the league, the Knicks.
Ward ignored the Mavericks' quick play and still controlled the ball and moved forward.
The Knicks are in position and start a positional battle. After losing Johnson, the Knicks have lost such a high point of possession, and on the offensive end, the power of Mo Xi can be maximized in the low post, as for Andrew Long, in fact, it is only because of his height that he has made up the numbers. When it comes to height, in the matchup on the court, the Mavericks undoubtedly have the absolute upper hand, from the No. 1 to No. 5 positions, the Mavericks are taller.
Sprewell came to the free throw line, received Ward's pass, Andrew came up to make a wall for Sprewell, Sprewell broke through, and the defender was thrown away directly, but Nowitzki, with his excellent footwork, was always close to Sprewell. Sprewell felt that there was someone behind him, and did not dare to make a rash move, looking at Mo Xi on the inside, Mo Xi was blocked by Bradley at this time, and Bradley's huge body covered the passing route between the two.
However, this is Mo Xi also saw the eyes handed over by Sprewell, nodded knowingly, turned around, went out of bounds from the bottom line, ran out from the other side of the basket, and Sprewell quickly passed.
Bradley was stunned for a moment, he didn't react when Mo Xi went out of bounds, and he didn't make a judgment at the first time, at this time Mo Xi had already circled, with Spreville and Nowitzki in the middle, and he couldn't even interfere.
Mo Xi caught the ball, steadied it, and hit the baseline shot.
Nelson applauded when he saw it, and in his tactics, this kind of genius of the players is very important, and he always does not hesitate to applaud this kind of talented performance.
The Mavericks didn't care about the conceded shot, Nowitzki served quickly, and Nash continued to push wildly.
This time, Mo Xi and Sprewell were still on the opponent's bottom line, and although they tried hard to defend, they still couldn't catch up.
It was to get rid of Ward, and when Ward was chasing back, it was another feint to change direction, and then directly pulled out to grab a three-point shot. It was a beautiful three-pointer, but it seemed that something was wrong with Nash's hands, and the ball floated a little and spun around in the basket.
The Mavericks quickly retreated to the halfcourt. As he retreated, Nash gave Nelson a vague look.
Nelson nodded, Nash sprained his wrist in the last game, and before the game, Nelson told Nash that if he didn't feel good on the court, he would tell him that he would reduce Nash's playing time.
The Knicks took the rebound, Ward had no intention of breaking fast, and in the face of the Mavericks, when you accelerated your speed, it meant that you had been led away by the other party. Ward was still slowly advancing into the halfcourt, waiting for his teammates to settle down and start a positional attack.
After the ball was passed around outside, it came to Houston, who hoisted the ball to Moxi.
Mo Xi received the ball in the low post on the left side and singled Bradley for the first time in the game. There are two advantages to Bradley, one is the slight strength of the other, and the other is the flexibility of the feet.
After Mo Xi received the ball, he came up directly with his butt, Bradley's body was a little thin, and he took a small step back. Mo Xi took the opportunity of the other party to take a small step back, turned around and leaned back to make a move.
Murphy's collision did not have a great impact on Bradley, who saw that Murphy was about to turn over and jump, and immediately pounced on the defense.
Seeing this, Mo Xi immediately collected the ball, turned around and leaned on Bradley with his back, and squeezed it back, although Bradley retreated a little, but it was still in the defensive range. Mo Xi turned back to his original position again, and at this time Bradley jumped, and Mo Xi's continuous shaking made Bradley fool.
Mo Xi took a wrong step at his feet, let go of Bradley, and made a layup with a low hand under the basket.
Mo Xi opened with two consecutive hits, and Mo Xi seemed to be in good shape in this game.
The Mavericks served fast again, but this time because only Mo Xi was in the baseline position, the Knicks' overall defensive speed came out, and the Mavericks did not find the opportunity to suddenly use cold arrows at the first time.
The ball was given to Finley's hand, Finley burst directly, facing Houston, Finley looked at it as if he was nothing, but Finley suddenly was a little too fast, the force seemed to be a little big, and he couldn't stop it, so he simply threw it directly to the back of his head.
There, Nowitzki had been waiting for a long time, receiving the ball, dribbling to the three-point line, shooting directly and hitting. The Mavericks hit the first shot.
The Knicks seemed unaware of it, still calmly dribbling through the halfcourt, but the offense was much more resolute, and Ward passed the ball directly to the inside.
Murphy began to dribble and gouge inward, and Bradley held on, but still gradually retreated to the inside. Mo Xi stuck in the position, as if he was about to turn around, and Bradley directly pushed his waist eyes, hoping to make Mo Xi soften his shot.
However, Ward suddenly came out of nowhere, rushed out from Andrew's side, and went straight into the penalty area. Mo Xi passed the ball with his hand, and at the same time used his feet to get Bradley, who was completely unable to make up for it, and Ward hit an easy layup.
The performance of the two sides in the first quarter seems to be inextricable in terms of momentum, one side is like lightning, it is a wave, if you can enter, you can go in, and if you don't enter, you will retreat to defend, and the Knicks have been as steady as a mountain, relying on the inside line as the offensive initiation point, and cooperating with the offense through continuous passing. However, the Mavericks' Nash went off the court after a few minutes, and without his threading needle, the Mavericks, who didn't feel very good in the first quarter, thundered on the offensive end, but there were not a few drops of rain.
As one of the offensive cores of the Mavericks, Finley was targeted by Sprewell, but the pride in Finley's personality made him find Sprewell again and again.
This game is completely a comparison of the strength of the point guard, although Ward is not a first-class point guard in the league, but it is much better than the Mavericks' bench, after all, he is the one who has played championships.
At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks trailed the Knicks by eleven points at 18:29, although the Knicks had the bonus of the buff in the first quarter, but playing like this still made Nelson angry, he knew the characteristics of New York, he understood that the Knicks were extremely resilient, if they couldn't suppress the opponent strongly at the beginning, once they were bitten by the opponent, it would definitely be a difficult game, not to mention that now the Knicks are ahead, this game is not easy to play.
Nelson looked at the Knicks' bench and locked his eyes on the No. 30 big man, who played eight minutes in the first quarter, efficiently cutting 10 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, which made Nelson very greedy.
