Chapter 532: Barriers in the Paint Zone

With a wonderful breakthrough and a powerful back buckle, Yiyang, the MVP of last season's regular season, presented a big gift to the fans as soon as he started. This dunk has made fans look forward to it for more than half a year. Since the Mavericks were eliminated at the end of May and now reappeared on the basketball court at the end of October, Yiyang's dunk has made the long wait worth it.

However, everyone knows that offense is just a dessert before dinner, and what the Mavericks are really looking forward to this summer has yet to show.

As soon as Teague dribbled the ball past half court, he felt as if the air around him had become heavy. He couldn't help but lower his center of gravity and control the ball carefully. Yiyang, Tony. Aaron and Iguodala are like a pack of hungry wolves, staring at the "lamb" named basketball in their hands.

Yiyang didn't take the initiative to post it, but the huge sense of oppression made Jeff. Teague stopped two paces away from Yiyang. He didn't dare to get any closer, there weren't many guards in this league who wanted to get tangled with Yiyang in close quarters, unless you were a devil like Westbrook.

Millsap, whose range can be extended beyond the three-point line, came out, and Teague immediately came out with the ball, for fear of giving Yiyang a chance to steal half a beat slowly.

When Teague passed the ball, he realized that he was sweating profusely from the pressure! The sense of oppression given by the Mavericks' outside defense is really terrifying!

Paul. Millsap is 2.03 meters tall, and as a No. 4 tall man is definitely at a loss. But in terms of footwork, Millsap is a little better than Nowitzki. So the All-Star forward, who had just transferred to Atlanta and was ready to write a new chapter in his career, broke through directly with the ball and singled Nowitzki!

Nowitzki's blockade was timely, but it was difficult for the aging Germans to keep up with Millsap. Millsap leaned on Dirk with his right shoulder and dribbled with his left hand towards the paint!

Millsap took two steps and was about to make a breakthrough. But just as he was about to get rid of Nowitzki's defense, Millsap slapped hard with his left hand, but it was empty, what about basketball!?

The Eagles' No. 4 forward turned his head in surprise, but this time, it was no longer Yiyang who stole the basketball from his hands, but Tony, who was just the right time to make up the defense. Alan!

"It's Tony! His defensive position and awareness of supplementation are simply the top existence in the league, and the price of 23 million in 4 years is definitely worth it! Millsap's breakthrough was very beautiful, but alas, he ran into a former Grizzlies titan who likes to defend! ”

Tony. Allen's steal gave the Eagles' first offense a flop in just two hands. Before Millsap could shoot, the ball was killed by Tony. Aaron snatched it back.

It seems that the Mavericks' defensive strength isn't just limited to the outside. Those three top defensive specialists can easily switch roles in interior and outside defense at any time.

Tony. Aaron didn't push forward by himself after the steal, but immediately got on the ball and handed the ball to Yiyang, who had already started to run to the front court and was ready to counterattack.

The fans and commentators on the sidelines were excited, fast attack, it was simply Yiyang's paradise!

Teague chased after Yiyang, but it was clear to everyone that Teague had no choice but to foul. Jumping cap Yiyang? Please, that Chinese's bounce height is beyond Teague's reach!

With the Eagles running out of options, Teague still made a move. He didn't expect that in just the second round of attack, Yiyang would be able to force himself to solve the problem by fouling.

But Yiyang didn't sit still, he threw the ball behind his head seemingly casually before Tigra could stop him, and the basketball flew into Iguodala's arms with precision as if it had grown an eye.

The referee didn't blow for a foul on Teague, and Iguodala came back to hit an easy layup, allowing the Mavericks' scoring to continue to rise!

"This is the first connection between Yi and Andre, and I believe that in the future, such pictures will appear often." Barkley applauded, and Yiyang and Iguodala's tacit understanding seemed to be innate.

After the goal, Iguodala enjoyed the applause of the fans and nodded slightly. It's not that you can't live without the Denver Nuggets! Those fans and experts who have torn their faces with themselves and slandered them infinitely on the Internet, wait for the big surprise!

At 4-0, the Mavericks, as always, did not let the Hawks score, but unexpectedly played two rounds of excellent offense. They rely on defense to lead the attack, and they rely on counterattacks to win the first level.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Mavericks' excellent defense. For the next three minutes, every time the Eagles' defense was successfully stopped. Korver tried to fire a couple of times from beyond the three-point line, but Please. Allen's shots were all iron

Demaré. Carroll also tried to throw a few, but Iguodala was always able to arrive in time to wipe out the opposition's chances.

As for the highly anticipated Jeff. Teague seemed to disappear in the first three minutes of the game, and after dribbling the ball past half court, he usually didn't have anything to do with him. The Eagles' offense was a mess, and three minutes passed. was stunned and didn't score a point, and was beaten 9-0 by the Mavericks!

When Hawks coach Mike. When Budenhozer called a stoppage in despair, the world's watchers were stunned. Before the game, people could imagine the strength of the Mavericks on the defensive end, but they never expected them to be able to keep a clean sheet against their opponents!

For three minutes, the eagles, who were not weak, did not get any chances. They executed their tactics very well and passed the ball very fluidly. But no matter how good the front is, as long as the final shot doesn't score, it's all in vain.

"Inside, hit me in the three-second zone! Is it cooler outside the three-point line at the Center Arena of the American Airlines? Why are you all jumping out of the hoop!? "Budenhozer is furious, obviously the Mavericks' outside defense is their greatest strength, and now the players still have to go to the opponent's greatest advantage, isn't it self-deprecating?

One by one, the players lowered their heads, and the high morale before the game seemed to be gone. They want to play in the paint zone, but how easy is it to get into the penalty area under this impregnable defense?

The timeout was over quickly, and the Eagles wanted to regroup and fight back, so as soon as they returned, they followed the idea of head coach Budenhozer and slammed the inside!

Al. Horfer knew he had to shoulder the burden now. So this time, the 2007 tanhua didn't take it any more modest, but leaned directly on Durham Porter near the three-second zone to raise his hand for the ball.

Although Horford's height of 2.08 meters is not outstanding in the center position, and even a little short, Durham Porter does not dare to relax at all, because he is leaning on his short center and will never be constrained by his height.

Teague still didn't entangle with Yiyang, and directly hoisted the ball high into the inside, making Horford the main attacker.

With the ball in hand, Horford felt Bowler's defense with his back and then began to push rhythmically to get into his own range.

As soon as Horford stepped into the three-second zone with one foot, the short center suddenly turned around and lifted the basketball, as if he wanted to turn over and shoot directly!

Naturally, Durham Porter didn't just watch the basketball go into the frame, he leaned forward and threw himself at Horford with all his might. This veteran center, who has played in the league for more than ten years, is extremely hardworking, but his ability really can't be compared with that year.

Seeing Durham Porter pounce on the block, Horford was not nervous, but smiled slightly.

In the next second, Horford retracted his shot, hooked his waist and took a step from Durham Porter, who jumped to block, easily shook off the Haitian, and finally picked up the basket. On the fake projection, the height of 2.08 meters is completely unable to restrain Horford's hands and feet.

"Al. Horford's inside footsteps are truly pleasing to the eye! As soon as the timeout returned, the Eagles scored. It seems that Coach Budenhozer's tactical arrangement is very correct! Three-second zone, the Eagles' chances are in the three-second zone! ”

"I have to admit that in front of Horford, Hellam Porter's defense is simply useless. The Mavericks' protection of the three-second zone is far less threatening than their pressing from beyond the three-point line. Even Barkley, who has always supported the Mavericks, shook his head helplessly, if the Mavericks could have a man like Tyson again. With Chandler as a center, the Mavericks' defense is perfect.

Meanwhile, on the Mavericks' bench, a young big man is already jumping on the band. It's just that at the moment, no one pays attention to him at all......

The game went on for a few more minutes, and while the Mavericks were still in control, Horford's offense on the inside was smooth sailing. There's a sense of weakness in Durham Porter, and the Haitians really don't have a good way to deal with an interior player who averaged nearly 20 points per game last season.

By the time Horford made a layup with a breakaway along the baseline and scored again, the Hawks had already scored three in a row in the three-second zone. Al. Horford has become the most high-profile Hawks player on the court, and it's no exaggeration to say that he is carrying the team alone.

Carlisle sighed, then turned to look at the bench. Horford does seem a little too strong for Hellam Porter, but luckily, they have a backup this year!

Carlisle walked straight to the middle of the bench and stopped in front of a young man with a hairy hair. The academic coach leaned over and looked at the spirited Frenchman.

"Take off your training clothes and register at the technical desk, Rudy, you'll be playing soon!"

Gobert looked at Carlisle's serious expression, and suddenly his mind went blank, and he sat on the bench and didn't know what to do.

"What are you doing in a daze!? Go to the tech desk and get ready, it's time for your show! It wasn't until Carter poked him in his elbow that Gobert finally came to his senses. He stood together, and immediately attracted everyone's attention, that guy was too tall!

"We see that Coach Carlisle seems to have a plan in place. He decided to use this year's No. 27 rookie, Rudy Brown from France. Goebel. People say Carlisle is a conservative guy, but Coach Carlisle is very bold to let a rookie at the end of the first round play so early! Could it be that he is still counting on a rookie to do better than the experienced Dareham Porter? ”

On the court, Nowitzki's shot after receiving Yiyang's pass was a little too hard, and the basketball not only smashed into the neck of the basket, but also flew out of bounds directly over the rebound.

The Hawks directly won the offensive ball, and at the same time, there was a dead ball on the court, Gobert and Dyreham Porter high-fived, and officially stepped into the NBA arena!

"A rookie?" Seeing Carlisle's substitution, Horford was dumbfounded. The experienced Daleham Potter can't defend himself, does Carlisle think a rookie is enough? Look down on people less!

"Jeff, keep passing me the ball later!" After the kick-off, Horford shouted. He'll let that rookie see how cruel the NBA really is!

"Don't be nervous, just do it like training." On the other hand, Yiyang is also calming Goebel's emotions. How strong this guy is, the Mavericks players already know very well. Gobert just lacked a chance to show the world what he was capable of, and now, here's his chance!

As Horford thought, as soon as he was in position near the three-second zone, Teague's pass was quickly delivered.

There is still no bag, and the Mavericks are relieved to let Gobert and Horford, an All-Star level guy, one-on-one!

Horford leaned back hard with the ball and the basket, and there was a muffled "bang", and the flesh of the two collided violently!

However, what Horford didn't expect was that Gobert, who seemed to be thin, didn't take half a step back, his body was as hard as steel!

"Good boy, that's kind of interesting!" Horford is naturally not discouraged, he is not the kind of interior player who likes to play hard. Simple and crude can't work, Horford will be flexible.

Holding the ball with his back to him, he suddenly took Gobert's "tower" as the axis and turned quickly! Agile footwork combined with superb skill allowed Horford's turn to have an immediate effect.

With just one turn, he completely left Gobert behind, and Horford was less than two steps away from the basket!

Horford mustered up his strength and jumped hard! This year's Atlanta Hawks will not be slaughtered again!

Just when Horford's body was at its highest point, he was about to smash the ball into the basket. Horford suddenly felt like he was covered by something.

After that, another force appeared on the basketball body, confronting Horford, who was holding the ball with both hands. Horford, whose body had already begun to fall in the air, finally failed to hold back, and the basketball was completely dominated by another force, and then he was pressed the rebound!

"Pegboard hat! Oh my God, he actually pinned Horford's inevitable dunk to the rebound! Barkley's eyes widened, still in disbelief what he had just seen. After that guy jumped, it seemed to cover the entire restricted area, and the 2.08-meter-tall Horford had no chance of escaping at all!

Horford's eyes widened, and a cold sweat broke out instantly. He immediately turned around and saw that Gobert had already handed the ball to Yiyang, the rookie who was only selected with the 27th pick, and had just taught Horford, the 2007 Tanhua, a solid lesson!

We're not going to underestimate the NBA, but you'd better never underestimate the rookies, NBA veterans!

Seeing this scene, Carlisle on the sidelines smiled with relief. Still want to settle battles in the three-second zone like the Spurs did last season? No, stop being delusional.
