Chris Paul knows that Kidd is still very strong this year, although his athleticism has dropped to negligible, but his ability to control the court is stronger than himself, and the point guard is a special position, and those point guards who rely on physical talent can be excluded, or Wei Shao, Li Guide, Curry They can't be counted as point guards, scoring is what scoring guards do, rebounding is what centers do, making kills is the work of the front, and stabilizing the rhythm of the whole court, Creating better scoring opportunities for teammates is what point guards should do, so traditional point guards like them don't actually eat their physical talents too much, but the more experienced point guards are more skilled in this aspect.

So Paul knows that if he plays with the Mavericks today, they really can't say that they are winning, in addition to defense, Paul is stronger than Kidd is his age and athleticism, and Kidd is stronger than himself in the control of the field and the control of the overall situation, don't look at Paul seems to be leading Kidd 2-1, but the old monster doesn't shoot at all on the offensive end, so Paul's defense is strong and useless for him, and in the face of poor defense point guard Kidd has about 5 or 6 points, In the face of a good defensive point guard, he is also about 5 or 6 points, because the base is already low, so the defensive intensity is a dispensable thing for the old monster.

My neighbor Totoro will definitely be able to blow up a row of small forwards on the Mavericks, but it is something that can be met before the game is played, and Nowitzki can also penetrate a string of big forwards on his team, which is also to be expected, Jordan Hill is too young, Evans is too short, Chandler is too slow, Gibson is short and young, for the mid-range shooting, as well as a three-point and breakthrough German tank, today's game does not cut 40 points even if he is not qualified.

The bench lineup is the weak point of the Mavericks, but that's only compared to the Rockets, this year they have bench bandit Barria, the little man from Puerto Rico, this year is exactly the year of his outbreak, can average 15.7 points per game, basically one person can reach the opposite half of the bench, and the other best sixth man Terry is also a ruthless character who is good at fighting and scoring points, the only luck is that Chandler, who was supposed to join the Mavericks, was robbed by the Rockets in advance, otherwise the Mavericks' bench depth would be thicker, and there is output and meat shield, which doesn't knock the opposite side down?

So if the Rockets play positional warfare, it is very likely that they will be overturned in the gutter by the Mavericks, so the smart Chris Paul also saw this, he will not slow down the pace, Adelman's tactics arranged before the game will be forgotten by the queen bee, and he will not be subject to military orders outside, he is now the coach on the court, and he told his group of players in the first ball of the opening game that today they are going to play the fast break system with the opposite side!

Kidd also knows very well that if a team with his structure wants to win against the Rockets, the rhythm must not be fast, the old monster desperately wants to press down the rhythm and reduce the number of rounds as much as possible, but the point guard on the opposite side is not a fledgling stunned youth, all he can do is to reduce his offensive time, but it can't interfere with the Rockets' five-second battle policy at all.

Coach Carlisle has gray hair, he knows that if you want to control the number of rounds, you must control the fast break on the opposite side, and if you want to control the fast break, you must control the opponent's rebound, but there is a Chandler and Totoro standing on the inside of the rocket, they really have no way to make a fuss about the backcourt rebounds, and the five people on the team can't grab these two buddies even if they go together, and often when they grab the basketball, the other three people have already run into their own restricted area, Even if Carlisle wants to order his players to give up frontcourt rebounds to defend the fast break, they can't keep up with the speed of the Rockets' guards.

Nowitzki's singles efficiency is a bit against the sky, the German tank has scored 16 points after the first quarter, Carlisle knows that this is already the limit of the Germans, he can't be like Kobe Bryant to hit 82 points in the whole game, but the Mavericks are still 5 points behind at the end of the first quarter, that's because even if the Germans' singles efficiency is high, it is definitely not as efficient as the blue sky above the turtle sons of the Rockets!

In the second quarter of the game, it was known that the Rockets would open the score, and many teams knew that the Rockets would stagger Paul and Totoro to use, but even if those teams understood this, they didn't have a good way to deal with it, because they didn't have an offensive core like the Rockets, and the starting point at the tactical historical level, to put it bluntly, they didn't have two peak superstars who could enter the Hall of Fame like the Rockets.

Again, Paul was a person who could play on the basket before the meniscus was removed, not to mention other talents, in terms of physical talent, it is estimated that the current Westbrook and Rose can be comparable to the queen bee, Westbrook is stronger and taller than Paul, but the queen bee is faster than Weishao, even if Paul's overall view, ball sense and shooting are removed, Paul's dynamic talent is second to none among point guards, after all, not every point guard can dunk on the head of peak Howard.

However, the Mavericks' Barria and Terry are still powerful, last year's glider who mocked Totoro vigorously this year has been a lot more honest this year since being taught a hard lesson by the other party, and the ability of the glider is still there at this time, in addition to chasing three points as a strength, Terry also has a handful of breakthroughs and emergency stop jump shots, although he can't prevent the second team led by Paul, but at least he can ensure that his side can score, the point difference has not been opened up by the rocket, and when the main lineup comes up, it is still a gap of about 10 pointsIt was also the first team in the Rockets' four-game winning streak to meet a team that could not be thrown into garbage time with them in the second quarter.

The beginning of the third quarter is the time for the old driver, Nowitzki's sudden outside shot is as brave as a god, Nowitzki's explosion is not terrible, but Paul and Totoro feel a little lost, the Mavericks suddenly sacrificed a wide range of defensive pressing tactics throughout the court, always maintain a person dedicated to the defense of Totoro and Paul, strategically give up the three-point line, as long as Paul and Totoro break through, all the staff shrink the inside, Carlisle bets that the Rockets' outside basket is not allowed.

This tactic is actually not difficult to implement, to put it bluntly, it is to pile people under the basket, not to let Totoro and Paul attack the basket in the restricted area, and then put them and role players three points, but in the third quarter, the Rockets all including Totoro and Paul The two superstars were as if they were blinded by flashbangs, shooting 1 of 16 three-pointers, and in the third quarter, they forced the Cowboys to chase back the difference of ten points, not to mention, they also counted down 10 points to go in, which can be said to have changed all of a sudden, and the Rockets actually entered the final quarter of the game with a backward attitude.
