Chapter 271: Caught in a Dilemma
Under Chandler's strong play, the rhythm of the rockets began to slowly disappear, because Hassan couldn't prevent Chandler at all, so Yao Ming had to change the defense, but after the change of defense, Hassan couldn't prevent Dirk.
This is basically stuck in a dead loop, and even the inside line doesn't even dare to wrap the bag, which is simply helpless to the extreme, and Adelman took the lead in calling a timeout after four minutes of the game.
Because the first two minutes were okay, although they couldn't prevent the opponent's inside line, they could still score, but as time went by, the rocket slowly lost its touch.
In this way, the Mavericks also seized the opportunity to play a wave of 6:0 small climax of the rocket.
16:9
The Mavericks are beginning to take control.
At the end of the timeout, the Rockets did not change the lineup, after all, Hassan is already the only pillar of the interior line, and if he replaces Hassan, Adelman will not be able to find a replacement and limit Chandler's player.
The Rockets attacked, and Summer began to play singles with the ball, and everyone made room for Summer again, and Summer also knew that he had a heavy task, so he was not in a hurry when he was single.
The crotch dribble changed direction, and Summer kept teasing Marion's defensive nerves, and after three consecutive changes of direction, Summer finally broke through into the interior after using a bow to the Buddha.
The Mavericks began to shrink their positions, and Summer jumped high to see this, and when Marion was still not defending, he made a pull-up jumper shot, and the basketball drew an arc and landed firmly into the basket.
16:11
In turn, the Mavericks began to hesitate when attacking Kidd, and the Rockets had a defensive strategy! Two-three joint defense? Is this preparing to clamp the inner line and let go of the outer line? But doesn't Adelman know that our team is the best projection team in the league? Do you dare to swing this kind of lineup? Bet on how we feel, right? Kidd thought a little unhappily.
As the league's strongest shooting team, the Mavericks have never been so despised for shooting, but now? The rocket put on a two-three anti-gambling feel, which made people a little unhappy.
Since you want to bet, then bet! Kidson burst inside and gave the ball to Dirk, who ran to the free-throw line, and Dirk caught the ball and made a shot and then passed it to Barria.
Barria catches and shoots, and because of the Rockets' defensive problems, he has a bit of a lot of space here.
"Huh"
Three points into the net, this is the price of despising the Mavericks' outside line, but this can't be blamed on Adelman, although he also wants to worship the three-two defense, but Dirk's projection ability is not bad at all!
When the time comes, putting Dirk will be no different from giving away points! Come to think of it, Adelman could only bet on the Mavericks' outside touch, but it was very uncomfortable, and Barria hit the first ball.
In this regard, Adelman couldn't help but want to change his defensive strategy, knowing that it would be better to let them go around the front to defend, so that they should still be able to play if they cut off their passing routes.
But now it's obviously too late to think about this, the Rockets offense hit the iron again, and the rebound was won by Chandler steadily, this is Chandler's role! Basket protection!
You must know that the Mavericks played very hard without Chandler in the last game, whether it was frontcourt rebounds or backcourt rebounds, they were very hard, and even Dirk had to grab rebounds when necessary.
In this way, although the rebounds can be protected, the rhythm of the Mavericks is all gone, and now it is different, and there is no need to worry about rebounds with the presence of Chandler.
As for why Chandler can still play in this game, of course, it is thanks to the operation of the NBA, as the two giants in the West, their matchup is naturally indispensable for competition.
So after the game, the NBA league also downgraded Chandler's second-level malicious foul to level one, so that Chandler naturally returned to the game, but more of it was actually too similar to the summer.
At that time, Summer pretended to be terminally ill but frightened the referee, and the result? I didn't have any in the summer, and then I played a layup with an extreme lever! This made the NBA executives very angry, we care about you so much that you are still acting, so in the last breath, Chandler's foul was demoted, in the final analysis, it was still the summer acting skills that were too good.
Summer forced Marion, Yao Ming ran to Summer's breakthrough route to make a block for Summer, and after Marion was blocked, Summer quickly withdrew to the side and made a jumper.
"Huh"
19:13
The Rockets really relied on the summer to stop the bleeding, half of the thirteen points were scored in the summer, but this can't be blamed on Yao Ming and Harden not giving their best, mainly because Yao Ming was pinched too hard by Dirk and couldn't find a chance to pass the ball at all.
Continue to defend three or two, the Mavericks will not have mercy on this joint defense, and it will be a sudden point again! Marion, who was in the vacant position, received the ball and threw it, and the basketball went into the net again, and it was another three-pointer, and Yao Ming couldn't stand it anymore.
When serving, instead of the coach's duties, he directly commanded the commander, changed the three-two joint defense to man-marking, and could change the defense when necessary, but they must not be allowed to pass the ball easily to score!
Especially Hassan, Yao Ming also specially instructed him, asking him to go around the front to defend, and he must not let the Mavericks hit the ball into the inside line so easily, after all, if it comes in, it can't be prevented, which really makes people very helpless.
The Rockets attacked, Harden passed to Hassan who cut in seconds, and the latter received the ball and wanted to dunk it, but Chandler came out from behind when he jumped, and Hassan began to be anxious! But at this time, it was not easy to pass the ball from such a high jump, and in the end Hassan had to grit his teeth and smash it towards the basket.
"Bang!" Ball in! Whistle blows! Although Chandler said that the defensive basket is very good, it is really much worse than Hassan's bouncing arm length, so Chandler's block is directly in Hassan's hand, and indirectly sends a 2+1.
"Huh"
The free throw hit, Hassan's heart couldn't help but come alive again, although the ball just now was not a dunk, but it can be seen that Chandler can't keep up with himself! You can use your speed to get rid of him and attack the inside! He smiled smugly at the side, he had never thought about this kind of thing before because he was a little afraid of ChandlerHassan.
But now in the face of Chandler's goal, Hassan's undoubted self-confidence has come up, and the most obvious thing after this confidence comes up is that he is energetic.
After the Rockets changed their defensive strategy, the Mavericks' offense undoubtedly slowed down, and they couldn't find opportunities anywhere! In fact, the best way to crack this kind of defense is to find the opponent's weak point and play alone.
But the Mavericks' ability to play singles as a shooting team is really not very good! Don't look at Marion as an All-Star forward, but in the face of ball-handlers, Marion often dribbles and shoots with two steps.
Layups can be said to be rare, it can be said that his technical characteristics are throwing, shooting and defense, and Marion also has a very strange characteristic, that is, he must run when shooting, if he is allowed to shoot on the spot The shooting rate is still very low, which makes people a little helpless.
As for the last game, it can be said that Marion was an outburst, and it is really surprising that he can still hit so many balls with his hand pulled out on the spot.
While thinking about how to attack, Dirk had already gone over to make a pick-and-roll for Marion, and Marion ran towards the top of the arc with the help of the pick-and-roll, and Summer was close behind, this is an opportunity!
Kidd gave Marion the ball a transition, then cut inside, Marion caught the ball and made a drifting three-point shot that made the basketball spin twice around the basket and landed in the net.
I'll go! That's fine, too! You're your Green! Have you found your center of gravity? You just shoot, and more importantly, you actually score, which makes Summer very angry! But this was just the beginning, Marion seemed to have found his groove by shooting five consecutive three-pointers in the first quarter, and then hitting two, so that the Rockets' defense was a failure.
Because Marion can shoot with the help of a pick-and-roll! I didn't shoot much before, but now the crazy shooting makes the Rockets have to change the defense, but as soon as the defense is changed, Dirk can score again, and it can be said that the game is completely stuck in the rhythm of the Mavericks.
At the end of the final quarter, the Mavericks took a 31-22 lead over the Rockets....
