"Do you want to tell me that this is the kind of defense you can do?! Trapped in the restricted area by a rookie?! "Rick. Carlisle frowned and scolded the field, as a typical hawkish coach, he was very strict about every detail of the team, "I can't see the help defense on the wings!" I don't see you guys helping your teammates fill in! ”

The head coach's roar made the Mavericks players on the court shrank their necks, and their expressions were a little embarrassed. In 2011, Nowitzki was able to lead a group of veterans to a championship, and in addition to their sharp offensive firepower, rigorous defense was also a key factor in their success. Jason. Kidd, Sean. Marion as well as Tyson. Chandler teamed up to build a very solid defense from beyond the three-point line to under the basket in the restricted area, and did a good job both individually and in the help defense.

And now this Mavericks' defense can't match that championship team, although Tyson. Chandler returned to the Dallas penalty area, but elsewhere he was in the wrong place.

Rajan. After Rondo's injury, his speed and explosiveness decreased relatively, and his ability to prevent blocking and dismantling weakened; Nowitzki has never been a good defender; As for the two wingers, Richard. Jefferson is no longer in his prime, and his body moves slowly laterally; Monta. Ellis is poorly motivated defensively and doesn't have a reflex awareness on the defensive end.

It is precisely because of this that Addison thinks that the Heat have a good chance of winning today's game, and in the face of a team that is not strong in overall defense, which opponent has not been afraid of in the competition against the Miamins......

A few rounds down with Rajan. Rondo still couldn't get involved in the offense well, and the ball was always in the hands of Ellis and Nowitzki, using the offensive ability of the two to drive the team around. In Rondo's opinion, the team's offense could have done better, but the basketball couldn't stay in his hands for too long, making him powerless to play, and a point guard who couldn't hold the ball in his hands was still a point guard. Rajan. Rondo is not a functional player.

Monta. Ellis got rid of Wade on the right flank through Nowitzki's cover, and the 'German tank' rarely dared to change the defense from the inside when it was covering, and the slightest opening would leave Nowitzki a chance to shoot high, and the Germans' firepower covered the entire half.

Bosh didn't dare to switch guards, and Wade could only try to chase Ellis, but now he wasn't as agile and fast as his opponent, and Ellis had already made a mid-range jumper on the right before he got into position. Monta. Although Ellis's three-point shooting ability has not been very good, he is quite good at shooting from mid-range.

"Maybe Coach Spoelstra should arrange a change of defense, Dwyan's speed is clearly not keeping up with Munta . Ellis Hound-like agility. Kevin. Harlan reminded, "Defending like this is likely to feed Ellis' touch and confidence, he's the league's top scorer!" ”

"It's really embarrassing to say that, if it was a few years ago, de." Reggie. Miller couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and there was a little helplessness between his eyebrows, "Injuries and age have made him lose a lot, and I'm afraid he will lose more and more in the future." ”

Spoelstra gestured to the court, signaling Addison and Wade to switch positions for the rest of the round. For almost half a quarter, Wade's defense against Ellis was clearly a failure. Admittedly, Wade's defensive skills and awareness are not bad, but the difference in speed puts him at an absolute disadvantage on the defensive end. A well-rounded scorer like Ellis can't leave him any room to break through and shoot.

Addison saw the head coach's gesture, and he glanced at the Heat spirit, worried that Wade would be upset by it. Wade just patted the Chinese rookie on the back, motioned for him to switch positions with himself on the defensive end, and obediently listened to the head coach's opinion. Wade is less paranoid than the other superstars in the league with strong personalities, and he is willing to admit that he is getting weaker in some areas.

Turning around the Heat's offense, Chris. Bosh shook off his defender Nowitzki with an accelerated run, picked up Addison's pass and hit a jumper near the free throw line. Although Nowitzki maintains his own excellent offensive ability, he is also unable to defend against Bosh, and the explosiveness and movement ability of the 'German Chariot' are much worse than that of the 'Dragon King'. Bosh has an accurate mid-to-long-range shooting ability, and once he runs and attacks, it will be a defensive nightmare for Nowitzki.

Rondo was slightly stunned after dribbling to the front court, and found that what stood in front of him was a dark and strong figure, and the number 3 on the jersey was big and clear; And Monta. Ellis's opponent was replaced by the same skinny Chinese point guard as him, who watched his footwork expressionlessly.

- Transposition?

Rick on the sidelines. Carlisle's eyes deepened, and he knew that the Heat's young point guard was quite physical, and it was difficult for Carlisle to judge whether Ellis would be better restrained because of this.

Monta. Ellis didn't care about that, he thought it was the same for whoever was in the opponent. The Mavericks' shooting guard beckoned past the basketball, and Nowitzki was on the run to cover at the same moment. Ellis dribbles with his right hand and rushes out quickly to the right with both feet!

Chris. Bosh stepped on the three-point line and made a slight block, and after Ellis brushed past him, he didn't chase the defense, but turned to focus on Nowitzki. Monta who rushed two steps inside the three-point line. Ellis pulled up his center of gravity and was about to make a shot, but the yellow figure that suddenly flashed in front of him forcibly stopped the momentum of the shot. Addison had shaken off the cover and was back in front of his opponent.

- So fast!! Ellis couldn't help but be stunned in the bottom of his heart, and he withdrew his arms to shoot, lowering his center of gravity and posing as a triple threat.

Several consecutive tentative moves did not interfere with Addison's defensive position, and Ellis, who was running out of offensive time, was a little anxious, but he was unwilling to pass the ball out under a rookie defense and admit defeat. He simply slapped the basketball twice under his crotch, took a step to the left with the ball in his left hand, and suddenly pulled the ball back and jumped to shoot.

Addison's block was very timely, his arm span was a full ten centimeters longer than Ellis, and he almost blocked the opponent's shot front! Ellis, who was strongly disturbed, missed the shot and was taken by Whiteside for a defensive rebound!

The Miami Nation is coming back with the trend! After Whiteside won the basketball, he surprisingly did not hand it to Addison, but threw it hard to the frontcourt.

Ruhr. Deng used his physical advantage to shake off Richard Jefferson and strode straight into the Mavericks' halfcourt. Whiteside threw the basketball a little farther away, but it was still in the hands of the Englishman in two quick steps.

"Boom !!" The two-handed dunk on the fast break was staggering, but Miami fans were already familiar with the scene, and their cheers were no longer surprised, but full of enthusiasm and ecstasy.

***

"Spoelstra to Rick. Carlisle has learned a lesson that you should never make mistakes when facing the Miami defense, especially if your team is not good at counter-attacking fast breaks! "Reggie. Miller nodded, acknowledging the Heat's offensive and defensive transition, "Addison is definitely the most suitable to limit Monta. Ellis's candidate, I'm sure he has just surprised Ellis! ”

"If Coach Spoelstra had arranged such a shift defense earlier, maybe the Heat would have pulled the score away by now. Everyone can see that this Mavericks team is flawed on the defensive end, and it is difficult for them to cover up their flaws on the defensive end with offensive strength...... As long as Miamians get the right medicine! Kevin. Harlan said.

Monta. A little anger began to rise in Ellis's heart, he didn't believe and would never admit that a rookie could get himself into trouble! Ellis looked at Rajan. Rondo dribbled the ball past half the court and immediately beckoned for the ball, he thought to himself that it was just an accident, he could definitely break through the yellow-skinned rookie's defense!

Rondo looked at Rick on the sidelines. Carlisle, however, found that the manager had neither agreed with him nor denied it. Ellis, on the other side, demanded the ball more fiercely, and he shouted at the point guard, "Give me the ball!! ”

The basketball still came to him as he wished, Monta. Ellis raised his left thumb from beyond the three-point line while his eyes wandered across the half.

Like a hungry wolf that has been in ambush for a long time, waiting for an opportunity to prepare to attack.
