Chapter 53: The Small Lineup
Harrington was not replaced, but was replaced by the only "height" on the 76ers' court, Dyrem Porter.
There was an uproar among the fans on the court, and the 76ers lineup was Allen Iverson, Kyle Korver, Andre Iguodala, Al Harrington and Paul Millsap.
"Is this funny?" Smith laughed, are the 76ers so crazy that they don't even want a center now?
Everyone doesn't quite understand Wang's scheduling tomorrow, after Durham Porter is replaced, the 76ers have no advantage on the inside, and the Mavericks' two sharp knives on the outside, I'm afraid they will be more unscrupulous when they break through.
What's even more puzzling is that second-grader Paul Millsap has been reused like Wang Mingming.
If you say that you didn't go through the back door, you must be blind.
Saflosa, who is this year's lottery pick, sat firmly on the bench and watched the second-round pick in silence, and Paul Millsap has become an important rotation under Wang Mingming.
Millsap is currently 74 and is still on a rapid trajectory, he can match, grab rebounds, and shoot with space open.
Dareham Potter's expression was a little serious, and when he looked closely, he was a little depressed.
At this time, it was only half a quarter of the game, far from the normal rotation time.
"As long as you can grab the rebound, today's task, you're done." Wang will give Paul Millsap a chance tomorrow before he comes on the court.
Paul Millsap nodded solemnly, Wang Tomorrow does not need him to defend Nowitzki, but he needs him to contribute his strength in the No. 5 position, and now Wang Tomorrow is relying on him more and more, making him feel lucky, silently cheering himself up in his heart, and living up to the coach's expectations of himself with his best performance.
Avery Johnson frowned, the "no center" lineup he had discussed with Nelson Sr. before, but it was never put into practice, and it was never used in real games, what did the opponent come from to make such an arrangement?
"Steady, we can win!"
Avery Johnson had a faint feeling in his heart and stood up and shouted encouragement to the disciples on the field.
The 76ers serve, and Iguodala advances with the ball.
Up front, Paul Millsap went to the flank to cover Al Harrington off the ball, his basketball IQ was high, and the angles and positions he chose to cover were particularly good, blocking Nowitzki who was defending Al Harrington.
The Mavericks didn't switch defenses, and Al Harrington was outside the three-point line and received a pass from Iguodala and made a jumper.
Deviation ~
Dampier looked at the flying basketball, his heart was happy, and as soon as his long arm came out, he wanted to take the basketball into his arms.
But at this moment, there was a sudden shout!
A bad wind rose in the back of his head, and Paul Millsap, who was like a big black bull, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and snatched the rebound from the front of Dampier!
"What!"
Dampier was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that this player, who looked as tall as a small forward, would take the initiative to attack and compete for rebounds in the frontcourt.
Paul Millsap is good at grabbing frontcourt rebounds, originally historically, after Paul Millsap was selected by the Jazz, he played a rookie season as a substitute, averaging 18 minutes per game, he was able to score 6.8 points and grab 5.2 rebounds, including 2.2 frontcourt rebounds.
A stocky interior player like this seems to have the ability to punch the board with one hand in the NBA.
Paul Millsap's performance didn't end there, just when everyone cheered for his punch, I don't know when, the basketball in his hand, like a trick, disappeared!
"How could it be gone!"
The basketball turned into an orange light, rebounded on the ground, and invisibly passed to the black figure who suddenly cut in!
Aaron Iverson!
Like a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, the long sword in his hand is sold, like lightning, before the whole audience can react, he makes a layup with a low hand and gives the enemy a fatal blow!
"Even-bought karma! What a beautiful ground pass! ”
Ross Barkley and Smith exclaimed at the same time, Paul Millsap grabbed the rebound, took a step outside, and then without looking at anyone, a diagonal pass to the ground, Allen Iverson, who cut in at 45 degrees, bypassed all defenders and made a layup in front of the Mavericks' flawed defensive formation.
The second offense annoyed the coach the most, with Avery Johnson making a rare loud roar from the sidelines.
In contrast, Wang Tomorrow is much calmer, waving his hand and cheering for the players.
Not only the frontcourt rebounds, but the speed of this lineup's change of defense is also extremely fast, after the Mavericks blocked and dismantled the cover, Nowitzki received the ball again, and the 76ers' No. 9 came over like a shadow.
Iguodala's defense is standard and focused, but not at the level of his prime, while Nowitzki is at his best, with mature face frame skills, and after a tentative step, trick Iguodala into getting a little bit of focus, and then he will be ready to perform his mastery.
Who knows, another 76ers player flew diagonally!
Or Paul Millsap.
Although Millsap is short, his arm span and bounce are among the best in the NBA, especially his defensive awareness, which is very good, much better than Dylam Porter.
"During the summer league, some media called Paul Millsap the poor man's version of the big book, and now that I look at it, it's true!"
Barkley exclaimed, this short interior player, although he laughed at Wang Mingming's scheduling, he also gave birth to a sense of familiarity.
"Bell!"
The jumper was missed, and the 76ers, except for Kyle Korver, all shrank in to grab the board.
Harrington gave the rebound to Iverson.
With a group of players who can run and jump, the 76ers are younger and more energetic, especially at this time, which is leading the Mavericks, a strong opponent in the West, and they are even more excited, and their performance is a little better than usual.
"The state + 5 percent works well." There's a reason why Wang is replacing Paul Millsap so early tomorrow.
The system shows that 5% of today's form has improved to Paul Millsap, who has a height of 2 points, increased to 76, 75 or more, and can basically serve as a starter in many teams. It just so happens that Durham Porter's defense is average, and the offensive role on the court can only be a thin stake, which is not as comprehensive as Millsap.
But what Wang didn't expect was that Millsap seized the opportunity and broke out.......
The second round of the show was bent on repaying filial piety, and the feeling on the court was getting better and better, and the 76ers went from two ball control points to three control points + two pitchers, and Iverson, Iguodala and Millsap all had the ability to handle the ball on the court, and the offense was more fluid.
In the first quarter, the 76ers frantically scored 41 points on the Mavericks' home court, while the Mavericks themselves scored 28 points on a regular basis.
The huge score difference shocked all experts and scholars, and they couldn't believe this fact when they rubbed their eyes ten times.
