Chapter 51: Fighting the Cowboys

In order to deal with the Mavericks, Wang Mingming deliberately watched all the videos of the finals, especially the games after the third game, hoping to find a good way to defeat the Mavericks, and he really found it.

On the field, the players came on one after another, and the line-up of both sides was very neat, and there were no injured players.

76ers: Iverson, Kyle Korver, Iguodala, Harrington, Hellam Porter.

Mavericks: Jason Terry, Devin Harris, Josh Howard, Dirk Nowitzki, and Eric Dampier

The Mavericks' backcourt has two extremely fast engines, and the frontcourt is a space player who can shoot the basketball, and when it comes to the center position, it has become a traditional meat shield player.

Such a combination, inheriting the glorious tradition of blocking and dismantling offense, without losing the style of the run-and-gun era, coupled with the super joint defense that goes deep into the bone marrow, makes Yiyue an outstanding team representative in the new era.

Unlike the Suns' small-ball tactics, the Mavericks' run-and-shoot has both offense and defense.

In short, the Mavericks are very strong, and if they are not strong, they will not be able to play the Finals.

From the outside world's point of view, the 76ers are too far apart from the Mavericks.

The game started with a comfortable jump to win the kick-off.

Iverson dribbled past half-court and handed the ball to Iguodala at the top of the arc and then played an off-ball cover in the elbow area as he had done before.

Jason Terry is known as a jet, a pump-type player who is incredibly fast.

Iverson went around in a circle and didn't get rid of Jason Terry, Iguodala passed the ball, and Iverson singled out Jason Terry with the ball three threats.

After shaking off a little space, the jumper missed.

The rebound was picked up by Nowitzki.

The Mavericks attacked, and as Barkley expected, after the Mavericks interspersed the cover, they handed over to Nowitzki in the low post, and it was difficult for Al Harrington to interfere with Nowitzki's shot, who turned and made a jumper, the classic Golden Rooster independent jumper.

"Bell~"

Nowitzki's shot was a little less powerful, and the basketball bounced off the front and bounced.

Dampier and Durham Potter jumped at the same time, and the Haitian striker leaped high and outpaced the fat man by too much, just like when he first jumped the ball, grabbing the rebound in the crushing bouncing force.

Iguodala curled up and Iverson covered with a hand-to-hand pass and Kyle Korver got a chance from the bottom corner of the pocket.

It's Devin Harris's distraction, standing inside the three-point line, two steps away from Kyle Korver, who is confident in his pace and can add to the defense after the help defense.

Iverson missile-like passed the ball to Kyle Korver.

In these few games, Korver has long been poured into Wang Mingming's ecstasy soup to change his mind, and when he saw that there was no interference in front of him, he pulled it up and threw it directly, and Harris pounced again, although there was interference, but he couldn't cover Korver at all.

He jumped very high, shot high, shot fast, and showed the shooting skills of a top shooter.

The goal went in, 3-0.

"Keep an eye on people!"

Mavericks head coach Avery Johnson stood up in displeasure and yelled at his players to stay focused.

Then the Mavericks' offense, Nowitzki made a pivot to respond, and the two sharp knives were only behind the basket in the cover, destroying the 76ers' already weak defensive formation, and Terry challenged Dyrem Porter's defense, leaning over to score the ball.

Although Terry is small, he has a confrontation, in addition to three-pointers, layups are also his forte, although Daim Porter stretched his arms as long as possible, but was blocked by Terry's body, which could not interfere with his layup.

"The Mavericks' two guards are really good, first-class breakthrough speed, first-class shooting ability, and the average defense is overshadowed by the Mavericks' joint defense, but the starters play at the level of All-Star players." Randy Ayes analyzed the lineup of a wave of Mavericks, and there is indeed a reason why people are strong, three offensive strong points, two defensive strong points, very balanced and reasonable.

Iverson glanced at Wang Mingming on the sidelines, and Wang Mingming nodded and encouraged him to continue.

He took a deep breath, raised his arm high, and raised his index finger.

"It's a signal for the strong side to pull off heads-up!" Moses Malone wanted to know what tactics Wang Tomorrow and Iverson had instructed, and he was a little disappointed after seeing it, but he didn't expect it to be a simple single challenge.

But the Mavericks are well-known for their regional defense, and if they break through, they may not have such a good effect!

Iverson controlled the ball to the right side, the 76ers brought everyone to the left side, the Mavericks maintained a joint defense, three defenses on the weak side, and in addition to Jason Terry who was marking Iverson on the left side, there was Dampier at the bottom.

"Smack!"

He dribbled the ball at a low speed, the basketball was plucked back and forth, and it bounced off the floor at a rapid pace, while stretching out his right foot and feigning to break to the right!

"Change direction back and forth in front of the body!"

A simple move, but in Iverson's hands, it has become extremely realistic, especially the fake shooting action of taking the ball back and straightening up with his left hand to his right hand, which made Jason Terry almost jump up.

Rao was like this, and he was a little unsure of Iverson's breakthrough movement, so he subconsciously retracted it.

When he was young, Iverson liked to break out at this time and directly pass the timid Jason Terry, but now I don't know why, it may still be affected by Wang Mingming, the moment Jason Terry contracted, Iverson directly stepped on the ground with both feet bent and threw a long-distance big two-pointer.

"Three points, three points!"

Wang Mingming's forehead, this long-distance two-point shooting is the most uneconomical, the shooting rate is only a little lower than the three-point shot, and the shooting is not as lethal as the three-point shot.

But it is undeniable that the super scorer of this era likes to have a long-distance two-point player, and among the four quarterbacks, Vince Carter is the most accurate player outside the three-point line!

"Huh!"

However, this shot was a hit!

5 to 2.

Nowitzki turned and missed a layup, and Iguodala went wide on a driving layup.

Josh Howard then hit a two-pointer to put the Mavericks up by one point at 4-5.

Before the Dallas fans had time to celebrate, the 76ers, who were quick to serve the baseline shot, chased down and threw a three-pointer from Al Harrington.

Hit!

8-4, the 76ers led by four points, which belonged to two rounds.

Iverson Johnson's eyelids are throbbing.

He never thought that the Mavericks would actually lag behind the 76ers such an Eastern fish belly, the opponent's three-point accuracy, anti-guest-oriented, and a beautiful dismount, which made him have a faint feeling in his heart.

Avery is one of the league's top coaches, and the pre-game set-up is just as Barkley said, using Nowitzki to start bombing.

But I never expected that the 76ers would do the same, or even more ruthlessly, Al Harington ran outside to throw three points, and there was no one to grab a frontcourt rebound in the half.

After Jason Terry blocked and the Mavericks also tried a three-pointer, Nowitzki made a jumper from top of the defense.

"Bell~"

Opportunities were there, but they weren't invested.

Under the basket, Dampier could have grabbed this frontcourt rebound, but a dark shadow appeared on the side, Iguodala, and snatched the rebound that was about to fall into his hands.

After Iguodala landed, he pushed on the spot.

Iverson, Kyle Korver, Harrington, and even Hellam Porter were all running fast, and the five highly agile men on the court were like a pack of wolf cubs and went straight to the Mavericks.

Attacking from all sides, it gave the Dallas players a feeling that it was difficult to defend.

"That's how it goes!"

Wang Mingming was very satisfied with the speed of the team's advancement this time, and the string of speed was tightened in everyone's heads.

Basketball and football have similarities - opportunities are all runs, the top Spurs system, in the final analysis, is a running word, the same is true for small ball and running shots, when the 76ers start to run, Dampier who falls under the basket to grab rebounds is magnified.

The "No. 1 center in the West" finally ran through half the court and looked up.

The score has become 4-11.

"Toot ~"

The referee's whistle blows, and the Mavericks take a timeout.
