Chapter 39: Auckland's Air Connection
The whole arena was silent at first, followed by cheers from the sky, and the man who shook off James now knocked away Nowitzki's easy layup, still such a beautiful layup.
All this made the already excited Golden State fans elated.
By the time Nowitzki woke up from his trance, Li Zhi was already waving fists with his teammates in celebration.
"Brothers, it's back to the defense!" Montaelis shouted, and the warriors' complacent generals immediately returned to defense.
During the return defense, Montaelis gave Li Zhi a thumbs up when he ran near Li Zhi.
"It's strong, but it's still far worse than me."
In the next round, Nowitzki didn't play any more singles, and Terry took advantage of Josh Howard's block to get down, and Montaelis was caught off guard by Terry.
Terry is a Mavericks offensive stronghold, that is, good at shooting, Monta Ellis watched Terry break through and made a pull-up jumper to score two points.
The Warriors attacked, and Li Zhi walked past Monta Ellis and smacked his lips, saying, "Well, you are indeed a little better than me!" ”
Monta Ellis is a very competitive person, and at the same time a little hot-headed, stimulated by Li Zhiyi, the small universe exploded in an instant.
"Davis, give me the ball!" Montaelis landed on the left side and opened his hand to ask Byron Davis for the ball.
Instead of passing the ball to Montaellis, Byron Davis gave him a roll of the eye, and whether or not Byron Davis can take on the leadership responsibility, he is still the undisputed boss of the Warriors.
It was "Jet" Terry who defended Byron Davis in this round, and Byron Davis would not give Terry a son, and directly relied on his body to force a breakthrough.
It's so cool, Byron Davis thought.
A few days ago against the Jazz, Delon smashed Byron Davis with his physical advantage.
Jason Terry's face is as black as the bottom of the pot, his defense is bad in the NBA, and he belongs to a short scoring guard, and he can only take a mismatch when defending and defend the opponent's small one.
Unfortunately, I met Byron Davis today, Jason Terry 188cm, and his Byron Davis 191cm, Byron Davis felt that not breaking through Terry was simply disrespectful to professionalism.
Davis took a big step, shook off Terry in three steps, and returned a tooth for a tooth.
In the next round, Mavericks outside Terry was entangled by Matt Barnes, Byron Davis against the old Starker House, Monta Ellis defended Devin Harris, and Beatlins on the inside just didn't take a step out of the restricted area, which made Josh Howard very helpless.
In the last five seconds, the ball was transferred to Nowitzki.
There was not much time, Nowitzki hit Li Zhi twice, smoothly shook off the dream footsteps, and after the feint, the golden rooster threw the basketball independently.
Li Zhi has been keeping a distance from Nowitzki, and experience tells him that the height gap makes Li Zhi inevitably unable to guard against Nowitzki, so he just symbolically fixed Nowitzki's back, and only used fifty percent of his strength, so it was better to save his strength to grab rebounds.
Rich's crow's beak was revealed, and Nowitzki's shot was noticeably high.
Basketball came out.
"Mine!"
Li Zhi, who had been bending his knees for a long time, did not have any opportunities for the Mavericks inside, and grabbed the rebound directly in the air.
"Monta, number seven!"
Montaelis was still entangled with Devin Harris, and when he heard Richie's shout, he directly threw off Devin Harris and rushed to the halfcourt.
Tactic No. 7, which is a code name for Nelson's fast-break tactic, is where the rebounder grabs the rebound and makes a long pass directly to the basket.
Richie passed the ball directly to Byron Davis at the halfway point, and Davis threw the ball to the Mavericks basket without thinking.
"Boom!"
Montaelis took over the air relay and once again blew up the arena.
The combination of flowing clouds and water, picturesque, the perfect combination of art and violence.
This is an air transfer that belongs to Auckland!
"Oooo Air relay from Richie Byron Davis Montaellis. ”
"Well done!" The Warriors players celebrated, and the towels on the bench were no longer enough.
"Belinelli, you can throw the towel if you want, I don't mind." Montaelis ran to the bench and said to a beleaguered Belinelli.
Belinelli awkwardly threw the towel up, this gentleman from Europe, for the first time in his life.
"The game is suspended."
The Mavericks were stopped again.
Old Nelson didn't set up tactics this time, just laughed vigorously.
"Yes, yes, the boys did a good job." Old Nelson said with a smile.
Old Nelson looked at the frolicking Monta Ellis, Richie, and Belinelli with a strange glint in his eyes.
From coaching the Mavericks as head coach of the Warriors in 1992, to coaching the Dream II in '94, and then to the Knicks, offense has always been a tactical feature of the old Nelson.
When he coached the Knicks in 1995, the league was in the era of the "Big Four," and defense and iron were the main themes of that era.
But the Knicks favored offense and became an outlier in the league for a time, and as the Knicks fell to Jordan again in the Western Conference semifinals, Nelson was forced to resign.
However, the coach still believes that offense will be the mainstream of the NBA in the future, and continues to study offensive tactics, but whether it is in the Mavericks or in the Warriors, Nelson's tactics have not been played.
Now, seeing the combination of Rich, Byron Davis and Monta Ellis seems to open a window for Nielsen.
After the timeout, Li Zhi did not play again, and both teams changed to substitute lineups.
At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Mavericks by 10 points at 28:18, which would have been even greater, but the Warriors' bench was too bad.
The Mavericks, led by Brandonbass and DeSangaynadiop, have made a huge impact on the Warriors.
In the second quarter, the two teams played about six minutes off the bench, and as the difference got closer and closer, Nelson Sr. had to call a timeout.
The score is 35:29.
Without the disadvantages brought by Stephen Jackson and El Harrington, there was no doubt in those six minutes.
Old Nelson had no choice but to die the main force.
As soon as the starters came on, the situation on the pitch immediately improved.
The combination of Rich, Monta Ellis and Byron Davis seems to have found chemistry, working together smoothly offensively and not giving the Mavericks a chance at all.
The three of them first crossed the position, and Li Zhi hit a three-pointer after receiving the ball, and then Monta Ellis cut to the basket, and Li Zhi and Byron Davis cooperated to complete the empty catch.
……
But the Mavericks are a superteam with MVPs after all, and the long-haired Nowitzki and "Jet" Jason Terry stepped up at the right time.
Nowitzki, who had a mediocre performance in the first quarter, overturned the river and the sea on the inside, and the CIIC Golden Rooster was independent and tried many times.
"Jet" Terry showed the "big heart" attribute twice in a row, and scored a three-pointer at a critical moment to help the Mavericks continue to live.
The halftime whistle blew, and the score of the two teams was 59:55, still scorching.
