"Or give the ball to Mo Jie, Mo Jie lowered the center of gravity, dribbled with his left hand, stepped forward to the right in an instant with his right foot, the center of gravity completely fell on the right foot, the ball cut from the left hand to the right hand, the ball pulled to the right side a little, leaned forward to the right, made a situation to accelerate to the right side, forced back DeJuan Blair, and then a relaxed step back three-point shot, God, and!"

Li Mojie's personal data rose to 33 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in a blink of an eye, and Rick Carlisle on the sidelines had already decided that even if he lost this game, he would definitely not let the Mavericks become the background board for Li Mojie to cut high scores.

At this time, the Suns' home stadium, the National Air Center Arena, had already fallen into a sea of joy, not only with a large 65-50 lead over the Mavericks at home, but more importantly, the most important link of the team, Li Mojie changed the decline of the first two games and played an extremely wonderful performance.

If Rick Carlisle hadn't called a timeout, the cheering fans would have been fully confident that Lee would have scored a jaw-dropping score today.

Rick Carlisle suspended this time to mainly arrange the bag for Li Mojie, and he even thought about the strategy of the Pistons to block Jordan back then, and made a "Mojie rule".

The basic content is roughly as follows: a. When Marc Jab is one-on-one, the defender tries to force him to move to the left, because according to video studies, his right side break is more terrifying, b. When he tries to make a pick-and-roll, he uses his height to limit his passing, and remember to maintain physical contact in between, C. When Marc Jab runs away from the ball by covering it, DeJuan presses closely, White steps up to force Marc away from the basket, d. When Marc Jacques is forced to catch the ball on the wing, DeJuan and White step forward to double the ball......

Rick Carlisle will not use the strategy of letting Li Mojie score and then strictly guard against others, although this is also a good way, but Li Mojie is currently a rookie, if he cuts a high score on the head of the Mavericks, then the Mavericks will become the background board for Li Mojie's scoring for the whole week, which is unacceptable to the Mavericks!

But after the timeout, tactician Rick Carlisle looked confused.

It turned out that after the timeout, Hornacek actually replaced Li Mojie, according to normal reasoning, Li Mojie has played more than 2 quarters of game time, should he be replaced to rest, but, but Li Mojie feels so good in this game, shouldn't he be allowed to come up and shoot the whole game? actually replaced him, isn't this a chance to destroy Li Mojie's record?

In fact, Hornacek also discussed with Li Mojie before the substitution, although Li Mojie's state today is very good, but his physical condition is really not optimistic, he only fought with the Nuggets all night the night before, and today is another big battle, his physical fitness is indeed a little unbearable, so Li Mojie also nodded and agreed, after all, if his physical strength continues to decline, it will inevitably affect shooting and breakthroughs.

"Damn it!" Hornacek's substitution completely disrupted Carlisle's tactics at halftime, Carlisle looked at Hornacek with a ghostly expression, could it be that the guy opposite has already calculated my arrangement?

At this time, the Suns players on the court became Ramon Sessions, Middleton, Gerard Green, P.J. Tucker, Rudy Gobert.

The Mavericks, on the other hand, brought on a combination of Jose Calderon, Vince Carter, DeJuan Blair, Brandon White, and Samuel Delimpoter.

After the timeout, Carter singled Middleton near the free throw line, only to see him take the ball with his back, first hit it twice with his body, followed by a right swing, then a left swing again, and then suddenly turned around and hit a backward shot, quite Olajuwon's "dream foot" style.

Carter actually had the technology of carrying the basket in the early stage, at that time, he needed to play Middleton so troublesomely now, and he was swaying left and right, he must have directly carried the basket to catch the ball and then turned back, the action was extremely chic, the young version of Carter had a signature style of play is to slip the bottom line and flank the ball after receiving the ball in the air first jump and then turn and lean back, at that time he can fly up He doesn't care if there is anyone behind him, anyway, it has no effect on him.

At this time, the point guards on both sides, Ramon Sessions, and Jose Calderon belong to the kind of traditional point guards, that is, point guards who pay more attention to deploying teammates to attack, so although they are both bench lineups, they all play in an orderly manner.

Originally, Hornacek believed in the Suns on the court, except for Middleton who was the starting quarterback, the other four were good bench bandits, and he originally wanted to take this opportunity to let the Suns kill the Mavericks in a wave for the rest of the third quarter, and the players could clock out in advance to meet the next opponent, after all, the Suns' recent schedule is indeed too dense.

However, today's Mavericks team is really tough, and then Carter was a little silent after being heavily defended by the Suns, but Brandon White stood up, Brandon White's evaluation is a slender top finisher, and he also developed a close-range jumper last season; Relying on blocking and dismantling to go down and cut in the air to accumulate points, rebounding is terrible; Able to block but not good at fighting, prevent low losses.

White was indeed overwhelmed by Li Mojie's extremely fast lateral speed when he was asked by Carlisle to defend Li Mojie, but he was comfortable facing the Suns' current lineup.

Down-and-down after blocking is Brandon Wright's standout skill, and the efficiency value is very high. And his favorite person on the Mavericks team is Jose Calderón!

Jose Calderón is a typical shooter with excellent mental qualities, good hand feel, steady free throws, and a focus on mid-range shots and breakaway layups. As a traditional point guard, he has a selfless and cautious passing, an overall defensive level of mid-range, good at blocking and pick-and-roll, accurate outside shooting, and rarely makes mistakes. In short, he's a playmaker who excels at pass-and-control and is good at blocking and pick-and-roll; With accurate outside shooting and few mistakes, that's White's favorite teammate.

That's why Carlisle brought them both on at the same time.

In this case, Calderon played with White in the middle as soon as he passed the half, whether Calderon faced PJ Tucker, or White faced Sessions were misplaced opportunities, both of them got good shooting opportunities one after another, so in the rest of the third quarter, Brandon White used the block and dismantled to go down, air cut, and mid-range shooting to score 10 points in one breath, Calderon scored 6 points and 2 assists, and the data of Calderon scored 6 points and 2 assists to attract the rest of the Suns' players to make up the defense, and also led other teammates to attack, score: 77: 72, the Mavericks are only 5 points behind.
