"Don, are we going to step up our defense against Reggie Miller? Let Michael defend him? Steve's defense was just too poor. Just two minutes into the game, Nelson Sr.'s assistant coach Avery Johnson couldn't sit still, because in the first few rounds, Reggie Miller, who was not in the Mavericks' defensive plan, shot 3 of 3 on 3-pointers, and scored 9 points in a row after the opening, and Steve Nash, who defended Reggie Miller, let alone interfered with Reggie Miller's shooting, and even Reggie Miller's footsteps couldn't keep up.

"Let's call a timeout." After thinking about it for a while, Nelson Sr. did not plan to adjust the Mavericks' defensive strategy, but was ready to call a timeout to interrupt Reggie Miller's touch, but after Nelson Sr. made a decision, he obviously saw Avery Johnry frowning, and instantly thought of why Avery Johnson frowned Old Nelson, and said to Avery Johnson with a smile: "Avery Iery, you have been teammates with Meng, you should know him well, right?" “

Avery Johnson obviously shook his head after hearing Nelson Sr.'s words, of course I understand Meng Xu, when Meng Xu first arrived at the Spurs, but I taught him to practice passing by hand, and of course Meng Xu's various small actions that have been perfected, but I have a share of credit, but Avery Johnson still doesn't quite understand the meaning of Old Nelson's words.

'Avery is going to be coaching a team alone someday, so a lot of things, you have to think a little bit bigger. A smile patted Avery Johnson on the shoulder, and Nelson Sr. motioned for him to go to the tech desk and call a short timeout.

Avery Johnson is the main point guard during the Spurs' two consecutive championships, after winning two championships with the Spurs, Avery Johnson also got a big contract, but due to his age, and for the reason of giving way to Meng Xu, who was still in the Spurs at the time, the Spurs traded Avery Johnson to the Nuggets, this season is the last year of Avery Johnson's contract, Avery Johnson originally planned to retire directly after the end of the season, But the Mavericks spent a lot of money in the middle of the season to trade Avery Johnson, and the Mavericks, who want to win this season, value Avery Johnson's rich experience in the Finals very much, but Avery Johnson's current competitive state is too poor, and the old Nelson who directly asked the management to trade Avery Johnson may not be able to save face, so he simply promoted him to be his assistant coach.

"If only James could play." At the end of the timeout, looking at the players who had re-entered the game, Rick Carlisle frowned and sighed heavily, the Pacers are now ahead of the Mavericks in the score, but the sense of crisis in Rick Carlisle's heart is getting heavier and heavier, because Reggie Miller can't maintain such a good feel throughout the game, and when Meng Xu is frantically pinched by the Mavericks, the Pacers basically can't play any tactics, and this is the most deadly, when Meng Xu is frantically pinched by the Mavericks, And when the remaining players of the Pacers did not have the ability to control the ball, Rick Carlisle knew how important James Posey or a player who could control the ball to organize, in the past games, as long as Meng Xu was clamped badly, Meng Xu would hand over the ball to James Posey and play without the ball by himself, as long as he repeated it a few times, the opponent's bag was basically meaningless, and now Meng Xu can only continue to organize with a hard neck, because the remaining Pacers players on the court have no ability to organize offense at all.

"Rick, don't worry, we have the league's most unsolvable singles killer, and even if we don't play any tactics, it's not so easy for them to beat us." Looking at Rick Carlisle, who frowned, assistant coach Lester Conor persuaded on the side, in Lester Connell's view, the purpose of the old Nelson to wrap Meng Xu is nothing more than to disrupt the Pacers' tactics, but even if the Pacers don't play any tactics, can the Mavericks win? That's impossible, it is said that the playoffs are a stage for superstars, let alone the finals, and a player of Meng Xu's level can't be locked at all, so even if the Pacers give up all their tactics and play superstar singles tactics with the Mavericks, the Pacers also have a lot of chance of winning, who makes Meng Xu's singles ability so perverted!

Reggie Miller's feel really dropped after the timeout, but Rick Carlisle also adjusted the team's tactics during the timeout, first Meng Xu began to reduce the time of holding the ball, and at the same time the Pacers also strengthened the rotation of the outside, Tyshawn Prince did not run to the bottom corner at every opportunity like in the previous game, but used a more active off-ball run to cover and tear up space for his teammates, but no matter how the Pacers rotated, their purpose after the timeout was very clear, That's the point of singles Steve Nash, whoever it is, as long as it turns to Steve Nash, then he will be the singles with the ball.

"In this game, the Mavericks are really difficult to play, if they can't solve the problem of Steve Nash, then even if they are successful in defending Meng Xu's bag, they will not be able to win this game." Looking at Steve Nash, who was constantly being singled in turns, Magic Johnson shook his head and said. Due to Nash's huge shortcomings on the defensive end, both Reggie Miller and Tyshawn Prince have maintained a very high shooting percentage when playing him alone, and if the Mavericks want to win, they must make changes and not let the Pacers continue to play such unscrupulous singles.

"Hold on." Looking up at the timer, the old Nelson's face also had a look of anxiety, the Mavericks were able to win the first place in the West, and the Finals never relied on defense, but their invincible, mercury-dripping offense, so for the scene in front of him, the old Nelson is still somewhat mentally prepared, but ignoring the fact that the Pacers have been playing Steve Nash requires a premise, that is, the Mavericks must also maintain a corresponding success rate on the offensive end, and the old Nelson also has his own bottom line, As long as the Pacers don't pull away by a five-point gap, then Nelson Sr. won't make changes to the team's tactics.

While the Pacers took advantage of Steve Nash's shortcomings to keep scoring, Dirk Nowitzki on the Mavericks side also maintained a very good shooting percentage in the first quarter, plus Antoine Walker, a shooting paranoia, was not bad today, so at the end of the first quarter, 35-32, the Mavericks only trailed the Pacers by 3 points.

A 3-point margin is an acceptable margin for both the Pacers and the Mavericks, so at the end of the first quarter, both Nelson Sr. and Rick Carlisle were satisfied with the outcome of the first quarter from their expressions.
