Chapter 861: Cool and continue to go crazy
At that time, D'Antoni's Suns believed in a seven-second offense, but the Mavericks' offense mostly solved problems in five seconds, which was faster than D'Antoni.
The most commendable thing is that the Mavericks' fast-playing whirlwind is fast and not chaotic. In the past, the Suns had Nash, a historic point guard, in charge of the overall situation. And the current Mavericks have Yiyang, a future Hall of Famer member, to grasp the rhythm.
Of course, on the defensive end, Carlisle only gave up the interior defense, but did not give up the outside defense. This is the essential difference between the Mavericks and the Sun.
Inside, you Aldridge want to score, I'll let you score. But I don't wrap up, I try to make it impossible for others to score. Relying on Aldridge alone, Carlisle believes that the Spurs can't beat the Mavericks.
So on the surface, the Mavericks seem to have given up on defense altogether. In reality, however, they have only focused their defense on someone other than Aldridge.
At the end of the first quarter, Aldridge was affected by his physical fitness, and his shooting percentage began to decline significantly. Parker's arrival did not help the Spurs stabilize the situation well, and the current Parker is indeed a little powerless. Otherwise, Old Man Popovich would not have put him on the bench.
On the Mavericks' side, physical fitness will not be a shackle to their hands and feet. After Yiyang went off the field, Delong continued to control the rhythm for him. Moodier and Kuzma continued to push and continue the Mavericks' scoring momentum.
At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs allowed the Mavericks to score 32 points in a single quarter. In a Spurs game, that's a very rare situation. The Spurs, on the other hand, relied on positional battles and scored only 25 points. The Mavericks came from behind to end the first quarter with a seven-point deficit.
"Don't take it lightly, it's just a 7-point difference, but the opponent is the San Antonio Spurs! You can't relax, even if you're 20 points ahead! Until I win the game, no one is allowed to think of anything else! Although he ended the first quarter with a seven-point advantage, Carlisle still looked nervous.
A seven-point difference is not enough to collapse a team like the Spurs, and when Aldridge rests, the Spurs are definitely capable of equalizing or even overtaking the score.
Popovich is such a guy that he will go out of his way to attack whenever he grasps a weak point. Even when fans complained about the Spurs' dull and boring game, Popovich didn't care.
In the low post, the Spurs will definitely carry it out. Although compared to the Mavericks' fast-playing whirlwind, the Spurs' positional battle will be boring. But isn't winning in a deep slumber the San Antonio Spurs' style?
After the start of the second quarter, Aldridge was back on the court. As soon as he came up, he leaned on Jeffrey for a layup and made a foul.
Aldridge slapped his chest hard after scoring a goal, and you rarely see this guy as domineering as he did today.
The similarly low-key and silent power forward didn't want to disappoint Popovich, the old man's life had been bad enough lately, and he didn't want to add to his troubles.
Perhaps never before has anyone seen such a determined Aldridge, who is almost single-handedly battling the Mavericks, a legendary team with 75 wins.
The tactics of both teams were executed with great determination, with one side being fast and the other being slow. When the Mavericks attacked, the fans were fascinated by the dazzling cuts, runs and passes. When the Spurs attack, the rhythm will immediately slow down, and the positional battles of one board and one eye, and the low-post singles with hand-to-hand combat, highlight the Spurs' calmness and calmness.
Neither side will be led by the nose, and each will stabilize its own rhythm. I have to admit that the tactical cultivation of both teams is very good. No matter how others fight, they resolutely carry out their plans.
At the end of the half-quarter, Aldridge scored a lot of points, and the difference between the two teams also rose alternately. With half of the second quarter left to end, Carlisle waved his hand and took down Mjerry for Kuzma.
Carlisle's audacity was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Playing center with Kuzma!? Is Coach Carlisle serious!? ”
"Kuzma plays in the center, they will be more mobile and they will have more space. I don't know what the outcome will be, but this substitution might be enough to change the game! ”
Carlisle is well aware that he can't continue to wear out with the Spurs. Since there is no way to use Meijery and Aldridge, then simply don't use the center, and the whole team will turn on the offensive mode!
Popovich stood on the sidelines with a frown, and whether the team can withstand this wave of attacks will be the key to whether they can win the game in the end.
After the first offense after the timeout, the Mavericks let the Spurs know what it means to be fast and unbreakable!
After Kuzma played center, the Mavericks equivalent to five people had projection ability, completely hollowing out the Spurs' interior line.
As long as the players find an opportunity to cut to the basket, Yiyang will definitely be able to deliver the ball. The first person to eat the cake was Mitchell, this guy is very fast, Danny. Green simply couldn't catch it.
Mitchell didn't even cover off the ball, and with a counterrun, he gained half a body of space. And for a player of Mitchell's physical quality, you can't catch up with him anymore at half a level.
Yiyang directly passed a high ball, Mitchell rose from the ground, this super rookie who can flatten the frame and dunk the team, split Huashan, and Yiyang completed a perfect aerial relay.
Defensively, the Mavericks started to get on the pack. As soon as Aldridge gets the ball, Guy and Kuzma will press it. Aldridge, who played calmly, naturally did not take strong shots against the defense of two people, and he began to find gaps to pass. However, the Mavericks' defense is very well done. The five outside lines relentlessly ran and complemented each other on the court, sealing the Spurs' gaps outside the three-point line as much as possible.
The Spurs themselves this season do not have a pure shooter, and the Mavericks can effectively reduce the opponent's three-point shooting rate as long as they put enough pressure on the defense.
A five-man lineup that can do both offense and defense to the extreme, which only the Warriors have been able to do before. And now, the Dallas Mavericks can do it too!
Eventually, Danny. Green's three-pointer was played by Hayward's desperate defense. The current Green is no longer the Green who can shoot James back then, and he failed to hit the three-point shot in the interference. Kuzma grabbed the rebound with his enthusiasm, and then he dribbled and began to advance, without any delay at all!
In fact, whoever grabs the rebound for the Mavericks can immediately carry the ball and push it forward. This is something that even the sun of the year could not do.
When the rhythm came together, Yiyang was completely crazy. The fast-paced transition between offense and defense is the easiest way for Yiyang to score. Kuzma passed the ball to Yiyang during the run, and Yiyang grabbed the ball with one hand and made a feint to pass the ball inside, but in fact, he suddenly accelerated and broke through, passing Kyle, who was not fast. Anderson.
Facing Aldridge who rushed back to the penalty area, Yiyang threw and scored, but Aldridge could do nothing but shake his head.
Carlisle's complete abandonment of interior players may seem crazy, but it really weighs the Spurs a head.
After Spurs attacked again, Aldridge lost the ball in the bag, and Guy just grabbed the ball and threw it straight to the frontcourt. But the ball was too big and wide, after all, he didn't have time to adjust.
Everyone thought that the ball must be a mistake, but they saw Yiyang running all the way and catching up with the ball at an incredible speed. He jumped high and flew off the line. Although he received the basketball, Yiyang was already out of bounds at this time. His only option is to save the ball vigorously, and then everything depends on whether his teammates can grab it or not.
But in the air, Yiyang calmly observed the running position of his teammates. All eyes were on him and the one, except Kuzma, who cut down the middle without anyone noticing.
Yiyang temporarily changed his mind, he not only wanted to save the ball, but also assisted directly outside the bounds! Yiyang's arm is strong, and he throws the ball in the air to the middle!
Everything only happened between the lightning and flint, and people only saw Yiyang catching up with the basketball and successfully saving it. Before he could figure out who the ball was in, Kuzma went straight to the storm and won the one-handed smash.
Rudy. Guy's failed long pass really turned into a successful fast attack under Yiyang's transformation of decay into magic. With such a guard here, Carlisle doesn't have to worry about the Mavericks' offense not killing anyone!
"It's too fast, the Mavericks are playing the Spurs and not getting a foothold! It's also a master and killer in the offensive! That kind of ball, changed to the other 29 teams, is a mistake. But in the calf, it can become a violent buckle. Kevin. Harlan can't help but admire the imagination of Chinese fans with the nickname, "Ritian", this title is really apt to describe Yiyang.
Yiyang is crazy not only in passing, but also in scoring in a fast pace, and Yiyang is also handy.
He made a three-pointer from each corner with a fast-paced run off the ball. Now Yiyang's three-point shooting ability is not the top in the league, but it is also the top. Let him feel the feeling, and he can't hold it at all. Before the second quarter of the game was over, Yiyang had already scored 22 points.
The Chinese commentators can't help but joke that the last time Yiyang scored 22 points in a single game was even a minute ago.
It looks like the Mavericks' offense is fast, but it's actually very methodical. Every cover, every run, is based on tactical arrangements. Fast but not messy, that's the secret of the Mavericks' 75 wins.
Instead, the Spurs were completely stunned by the Mavericks' no-interior lineup. They simply couldn't organize an effective defense, and most of the players watched the Mavericks score on turnaround runs.
In less than half a game, Yiyang personally scored 24 points, and the Mavericks' entire team score went to sixty or seventy. It seems that it is not impossible to clock out of work in three sessions.
In the second half, Yiyang was still crazy. The Spurs' defense finally improved, but it was broken by Yiyang's unreasonable goals again and again.
Aldridge is still holding on, but while his low-post offense is starting to become inefficient due to his fitness and packing, Yiyang is still tirelessly scoring. Perhaps, that's the difference between a superstar and a superstar.
In the eighth minute of the third quarter, Kuzma forced a basket and was about to make a layup, but Aldridge jumped up to block it. Kuzma knew that he might be taken for a layup, so he shifted widely and returned the ball to Yiyang in the air.
Seeing this high and distant ball coming towards him, Yiyang calmly took a step back and received this impromptu pass without danger. He burst when he received the ball and didn't give Mills a chance to block himself at all.
Seeing that he couldn't block it, Mills reflexively chased back to the basket. But when he turned around, he didn't find Yiyang's figure.
"What!?" Mills hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, he was tricked by Yiyang! Stepping back for three points, Yiyang must have planned to do so! I'm so stupid, how can I still be deceived?
But when Mills tried his best to re-paste it, he realized that the three-point step back was also a scam. Yiyang took the initiative to lean over to Mills and made a three-point shot at him.
The referee's whistle blew, and Yiyang had to make three free throws. Mills stomped his foot unwillingly, only to hear a deafening shout from the Center Arena of American Airlines. Suddenly, the Spurs point guard felt a chill down his spine.
"Three-point shots have to be free-thrown! Score four! Also, if he hits the free throw, his individual score will come to 40 points! This guy is crazy, he's crazy! ”
Popovich off the court looked up at the technical statistics on the big screen, Yiyang had 39 points, 8 assists, 2 steals, and 40 free throws. The difference between the two teams is already as high as 21 points.
clocked out at 40 minutes in the third quarter, and Popovich really didn't know what to say about Yiyang. He's seen and played against countless superstars. But no one can take away the victory in such an unreasonable way like Yiyang. 40 points in the third quarter, what are you kidding, that's 40 points!
The old man sat back on the bench and stared at the blank tactical board in his hand. Leonard's strife, the lack of a roster, his wife's illness, and this damn series.
Popovich would never complain about anything in his life, but at this moment he really felt that life was really bad. (https:)
