"Good shot!"

After Chen finished the opening slam dunk, Maverick owner Cuban, who was sitting next to the team's bench, looked even more excited than the fans at the scene.

Even Nelson Jr. was overjoyed when he saw the ball, which was Chen Zhi's first show of his ability to receive air in the preseason, and it would definitely be used in advertising.

These are still secondary, and more importantly, Chen Zhi has shown that he can take over the banner of Nowitzki, and the level of love that Dallas fans love him will definitely climb significantly after he plays this kind of flashy offense.

However, Carlisle doesn't seem to appreciate much of this ball, what he wants to see is Chen Zhi's various performances in UCLA's air cut, this kind of center after blocking and dismantling the basket air cut is the first opportunity point, a slightly more experienced defender will basically choose to disrupt the passing route, Matthews' position straight to the basket pass, is still very easy to predict.

It's just that Harden was stunned and didn't even do a little effective defense.

Although Chen Zhi's ball is a beautiful air catch in Carlisle's opinion, it does not reflect much of his tactical ability, and he still hopes that the Rockets can create some difficulties on the defensive end, at least not even such an obvious air cut start can not be prevented, and Chen Zhi's ability on the tactical end can be verified.

Although Harden's performance on the defensive end has always been criticized, especially during his relationship with Kardashian last season, the eye-to-eye defense on the court has deteriorated into sleepwalking defense.

However, as long as Harden changes his attitude, with his outstanding physical condition, his defensive ability on the guard line is at least in the upper middle of the league.

James Harden's significant drop in clubbing appearances in the offseason is the best proof that his attitude has changed, but for Beard, who has always been an endorsement of nightclubs, the word nightclub is still very easy for him to lose defensive attention.

Reducing the number of nightclub trips is definitely a very difficult thing for Harden to do! But this season can be said to be a key moment for Harden to prove his ability to lead the team alone, and he doesn't want to drop the chain.

Especially last season's 29 points, 7.5 assists and 6.1 rebounds, he didn't even enter the league's best 3 teams, which made Harden, who has been in the best 1 team for two consecutive years, unacceptable.

Since D'Antoni entered Houston, the Rockets have been a sure thing to play run-and-shoot tactics this season, and after Chen dunked, the Dallas Mavericks have begun to quickly retreat to the halfcourt, although the Rockets serve quickly to seek counterattack, but in the face of the Mavericks who have been fully settled, there is no chance.

After the half-court position, D'Antoni's tactics are very simple, most of the time Harden Capela arcs to block and dismantle, and the other three shooters with three-point ability are scattered outside the bottom corner and the wing three-point line, and occasionally add some cover when they are in chaos, and the frequency of running without the ball is extremely poor compared to Dallas.

This tactic can be described as extremely simple, but it actually works very well, especially when a passing master like Nash the son of the wind and an interior blocking and pick-and-roll master and violent dunking player like the little bully Stoudemire Jr. are paired with each other, and the Suns were able to achieve a league-best 62 wins in the 04-05 season, which is enough to show the practicality of this system.

Nash, the son of the wind, has a three-point shooting rate of 42.8% in his 18-year career, played in 81 games in the 07-08 season, averaged 4.7 three-point shots per game, and shot 47% from three-point range in a single season.

As for his passing ability, the Son of the Wind is the best in history, and in the midst of the giants, he can always find a path to an open teammate, and every ball that comes out from under the basket to the outside is wonderful, and he averaged 10.9 assists per game during his seven years with the Suns.

Although from the performance of previous seasons, in terms of passing ability, Harden is also far from Nash, but after D'Antoni became the Rockets this season, Harden, who changed to point guard, was like a fish in water in a few games in the preseason, and as of this game, he has averaged 12 assists per game, showing super assist ability as a point guard.

Harden's pick-and-roll partner, Kotlin Capela, is clearly not a player of the same level as the Bully. Xiaobawang once snatched the best rookie title in the hands of Da Yao, and in the 05 Western Conference Finals, facing the Spurs, the champion of the year, scored an average of 35+ points per game, and there was a peak Duncan in that Spurs! In the post-Jordan era, there have been interior players who have averaged 35+ per game in the entire series, and only Xiao Si and Big Shark O'Neal have the top face frame ability in history.

However, in terms of blocking alone, Capela, who can run, jump, and endure hardships, is also a qualified player.

On the perimeter, there are Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson, two players who shoot more than 38 percent from three-point range all year round, and even defensive striker Trevor Ariza shot 37 percent from three-point range last season.

Team Rocket's offensive capabilities are clearly not to be underestimated.

In the NBA, defense is always a more difficult job than offense, and Matthews was assigned by Carlisle to defend Harden, and although he can cause Harden some more problems on the defensive end than others, it is obviously difficult to completely stop a superstar like Harden.

Three-point players are ambushed from all angles, no need for Harden to beckon, Capela is already ready to block and dismantle in the high post, his job is very simple, run directly to the basket after blocking, the opportunity is good to receive Harden's empty pick-up, and if the opportunity is not good, he is ready to grab rebounds, Capela does these jobs, he is indeed more conscientious than Warcraft, and he is absolutely hard-working.

The current Harden is like Nash in the Suns, holding the decision-making power, and the deterrent power of basketball in his hands is no worse than Nash, and Harden does not have to be like Nash, killing in and out of the opponent's restricted area to find opportunities, he has more offensive singles to choose from than Nash.

Facing Matthews, who was chasing sideways, Harden suddenly stopped and pulled the ball, coupled with his signature step-back, and hit a direct two-point shot, and Dallas was colored.

Carlisle crossed his arms on the sidelines and waited to see Chen's performance.

Attacking the Dallas Mavericks once again, UCLA is in the air.

Harden smiled at Chen Zhi, "This time I won't let you bomb the basket easily!" Rookie! ”

Chen Zhi also smiled when he heard this: "Then you have to ask Bogut first." "Bogut is the first cover in this system.

After passing the wing Matthews, he suddenly started to cut inside again, and once Harden defended seriously, he did still have the strength.

Bogut's cover, like Capela's block last time, didn't mean anything to hide.

Harden knew there would be cover, and instead of following Chen to the right side of Bogut, who was backing to the basket, Harden blocked Matthews' possible passing path from the left side. Seeing this, Matthews hesitated and did not pass the ball to Chen.

The first chance point is blocked! Chen Zhi did not stop and immediately ran to the left.

This UCLA air cut, when Chen Zhi split the ball and launched an attack on the wing to the basket, Barnes and Nowitzki on the weak side were not idle, they were moving inside, seeing that Chen Zhi did not catch the ball under the basket, Barnes suddenly made a no-ball cover in the low post on the left side.

Harden, who was following Chen Dao, was slightly blocked by Barnes, and when he saw Chen Zhi continue to cut out, he immediately accelerated his pursuit, and Nuo Tianwang, who was entangled with Ryan Anderson and pacing inward, suddenly erected another cover, two covers in succession, and finally blocked Harden solidly.

On the other side, Matthews couldn't divide the ball for the first time, and immediately distributed the ball to Bogut, who was covering just now, and after the ball, Matthews immediately cut to the basket after Chen arrived. With Capela and Gordon obstructing, Bogut, who was in the high position, shook the ball with both hands, and there was no chance to pass the ball inward, and under normal circumstances, it is not easy to have chances here.

Glimpsing that Chen Zhi had reached the left three-point line, Bogut immediately delivered the ball, and Chen Zhi received the ball outside the three-point line and immediately shot.

Ryan Anderson, who spotted Nowitzki's cover, immediately turned and flew to Chen Dao outside the three-point line, but by the time he was in place, the ball had already fallen from the Nets.

Maverick DJ immediately shouted in a demonic voice: "Sri~!" Chen~to~"

Seeing this, Harden glared at his big spiritual eyes, and was blocked 3 times in one defense, even the best defender is estimated to be able to watch the opponent shoot in an empty position.

Unless this tactic is foreseen in advance, and at the same time has a particularly flexible defensive rotation, the current Rockets, like the signature star Harden, are mostly ridiculing once defense is mentioned.

In two rounds, under clear tactics, Chen Zhi scored five points efficiently, crisply and neatly.

The Dallas Mavericks are regarded by experts as a team outside the playoffs every year, but they can win about 50 games in a row, and they can still enter the playoffs in the West where strong teams are gathered.

In fact, in the last three seasons, Nowitzki's efficiency has begun to decline, and both the S victory contribution value and the PER efficiency value have declined slightly.

Carlisle's tactics are clear in the Mavericks, and Mavericks owner Cuban and general manager Nelson Jr. are naturally the clearest of them, with a five-year contract extension being the best illustration.

The Houston Rockets won the ball again.

When Houston started this lineup on the floor, the Houston Rockets most often used Capela and Harden's pick-and-roll as a starting point.

The reason why pick-and-rolls are becoming more and more popular, and more and more players openly say that they like to play pick-and-rolls, is because pick-and-rolls are really simple and effective.

One of the important reasons why John Stockton, the all-time assist king, can become the all-time assist king is that he and "Postman" Karl Malone have played the Jazz's blocking and pick-and-roll system to the point of being superb.

There are basically three types of blocking and dismantling, blocking and dismantling internal cutting, blocking and dismantling external cutting, and false blocking real cutting.

The last time the little brother card came to block and dismantle was not rewarded, but this time he still came to the big brother to block and dismantle rain or shine, but this time, the card with an extremely honest face came to the fake block, and as soon as he turned around to make a posture of blocking and dismantling, he immediately ran to the inside line before blocking people.

Bogut couldn't get back on guard, Harden threw the ball forward with both hands, and Capela immediately bombed the basket.

The Rockets' current offensive routine is almost the same as D'Antoni's system with the Suns.

The Dallas Mavericks are still UCLA's air cuts, and Capela deliberately took a step back to the basket in order to prevent Chen from using the cover to attack the basket, and at the same time gave Harden more space to chase and directly bypass Bogut's cover.

However, Chen chose not to choose to run to the left side this time, but bypassed Bogut and received the ball directly in the low post on the right side, forming a one-on-one with Harden.

Capela took a step away from Bogut and rushed back to prevent Bogut from catching and shooting near the free throw line.

Seeing this, Gordon, the round-faced defender of Matthews, judged the situation and dispelled the idea of rushing to the low post, and Matthews's three-point shooting was still quite accurate.

UCLA's air cut originated from John Wooden, the founder of the triangle strategy, which included the standard triangle concept in the low post, with Matthews and Bogut attracting Gordon and Capela respectively on the strong side.

With the ball in the low post and the weak side still moving, Bogut rushed to the left wing to provide Dirk Nowitzki with off-ball screens for him to move to the right wing, while Matthews moved straight to the bottom corner.

The strong side instantly formed a one-axis plus two shooters, while Barnes looked for open cuts on the weak side when the main force of the defense was already focused on Chen Zhi with the ball and Nowitzki covering the run.

Once Dallas operates according to tactics, there will always be follow-up changes, Carlisle can be called a master tactician along with the old man Popovich, and his tactical design ability is really good, of course, his best thing is to serve on the plate.

In the 13-14 season, the Mavericks, who had lost a large number of championship players and were unfavorable, could play 7 big games against the Spurs, who played the Big Three and eventually won the championship, which shows Carlisle's skill.

The reason why the Mavericks' UCLA air cut is a hero ball tactic for point guard players is that it can easily form a single opportunity in the low post.

This position is already extremely close to the basket, so it is naturally easier to score.

Chen had a brief chance to split the ball to Nowitzki, but he didn't choose that because Cuban said that he needed to cut points in this game.

Harden's physical condition is an absolute power type among guard players, but after the bearded man felt the impact force from Chen Zhi's back, he felt that he was playing a point guard player in front of him and back, and he was clearly a center!

After pushing inward, Chen Zhi made an axis with his left foot, and raised his right leg, which was the famous stunt of the old driver, Golden Rooster Independence!

Harden was fumbled by Chen's footsteps, stretched out his hand as best to express his defensive attitude, and finally stared at the basketball into the basket with his big spiritual eyes.

King Nuo Tianwang looked at Chen Zhishi's already somewhat god-like Golden Rooster Independence, and grinned, I don't know if this kid is paying tribute to himself, or if he really wants to use Golden Rooster Independence as a conventional weapon.

Fans in other cities probably didn't react much when they saw this trick, and now there are many stars in the league who are similar to Nuo Tianwang using the trick of Golden Rooster Independence, James and Durant are all listed.

But Chen Zhi used this trick in Dallas, and the fans at the scene immediately became a sensation! Only Dallas's Golden Rooster independence is authentic, and Dallas will still have a Golden Rooster independence in the future!
