"Mavericks: This is ...... One big and four small?! ”

When three minutes passed in the fourth quarter, the Mavericks "abnormally" followed their own rhythm and put Dirknowitzki on at this time.

This is an unconventional rotation rhythm, and in the rotation rhythm of most teams, the main core of the team will be placed within the remaining 7 minutes of the fourth quarter before playing. The reason is very simple, it is to allow the core of the team, in the final moments of the game, to maintain the most physical strength, until the whistle blows at the end of the game, so that the core can output to the fullest.

In fact, about a decade ago, this rotation wasn't that popular. Once upon a time, the core of many teams would play an average of 38 minutes, or even more than 40 minutes per game. In those days, it seemed to be the norm for stars to die.

But with the progress of the NBA, the progress of basketball, and the continuous improvement of the strength of role players, the playing time of stars has also shown a downward trend year by year. There are many benefits to this, the first of which is that the health of the star can be maintained, and when he enters the playoffs, he can have a healthy body and the fullest physical fitness.

This approach, of course, is despised by many stars of the older generation, in their opinion, since you are the main soul of the team, then you have the "obligation" to die every game, and you will be "not a man" if you don't play 40 minutes.

Regardless of whether this argument is justified or not, this trend is indeed happening.

Dirk is really not young, and considering his physical condition, it seems to be the right choice to play in the last six minutes or so. But the Mavericks, on their side, went against the norm, giving Dirk plenty of rest in the second and third quarters, and most of the time picking his feet off the bench. In the fourth quarter, it allowed Dirk to play for 8 to 9 minutes.

This habit, of course, will be noticed by Phil Jackson and exploited.

At this time, the Mavericks were not just a Dirk, but also came up with a fairly advanced lineup on the court.

"Albert, don't exaggerate too much, this lineup can't be regarded as a big four in the real sense, right?" Reggie Miller rolled his eyes next to him, stretched out his hand and pointed to the court, "Calderon, Monta Ellis, Carter, Marion, Dirk, is this one big or four small?" I see that the location distribution is normal! ”

That's right, Calderon is a point guard himself, and Ellis is a shooting guard himself, and both of them are "acting in their true colors".

Although Carter has played as a shooting guard for most of his career, he has occasionally played as a small forward, and now that he is older, his feet are moving slower, and he plays the No. 3 position, and he does not suffer much in terms of figure, which is indeed normal.

As for Marion, when he was in the Suns, he played the No. 4 position, and he only started to do it after he left the Suns for a long time. Although he is shorter and older, his running and jumping ability has not completely abandoned him, and with years of experience playing the No. 4 position, Marion can still contribute double-digit rebounds from time to time.

The only person who wants to say a little bit of a change of position is Dirk. But considering Dirk's height of more than 210 centimeters, as well as his slow and unsightly movement speed, playing center is obviously more able to cover up the disadvantage after his physical fitness declines. On the contrary, it is a mid-to-long-range shot that can make it difficult for the opposing center to guard against and have a miraculous effect.

"Eh, but the visual effects are not big or small!" Albert said stiffly: "The Mavericks' lineup is very advanced, okay, the big men have the ability to shoot outside, there are three-pointers on the outside, there are breakthrough hands, there are all-round ball-holding attackers, and the inside center can shoot three-pointers and can turn their backs, so I ask you who will defend this lineup??" ”

Indeed, the Mavericks' lineup this season, if it can be five years younger, it is a BUG-level IMBA lineup, and no one can lose his temper in the whole league. It's a pity that when these old balls are put together, the best years have completely passed, so people don't realize how terrible the Mavericks' lineup is.

Otherwise, with the Mavericks' average uncle-level age, how could they have any hope of making the playoffs?

And what is holding the Mavericks back from moving forward is their poor defense. Apart from Marion, only one Carter is average, and the rest of the positions can only be described as miserable.

"This is a good opportunity for the King!" Miller said: "Chasing the ball and grabbing the ball is the king's strength. If Wei Shao and his cousin play together, and there are also players with strong mobility in other positions, the king can completely chase the calf to the death! What if you can't stop the calf? Anyway, it can be found on the offensive end...... Uh-huh?!! ”

Just when Miller's analysis was at the head of the road, the Kings players came on the court, and Miller was instantly confused.

W-what......?!!

Kings It's ......

"Willis, Cousin, Beasley, Green...... O'Neill Jr?!! ”

What the hell?!

Albert reported the King's roster, and even the fans in front of the TV were dumbfounded.

At this time, the Kings did not fight against the Mavericks, but O'Neal Jr.

One game so far, only played about 5 minutes of O'Neal Jr.??

What kind of yarn idea is this?

"Okay, good, steady!!"

In front of everyone's eyes, something even more surprising happened, the Kings kicked off, Wei Shao did not rush to promote the fast break as usual after getting the ball, but dribbled slowly and calmly, all the way to various crotches, and even came a few times to the old point guard to do the back push, almost pressing the 8-second half-time timeline past the half.

Kings ...... Don't plan to hit the counter-bomb?

Such a good opportunity, and don't play a quick attack?!

"Also...... Understandable, right? Miller looked strange and tried to explain the King's thinking: "Now the Mavericks are putting on their fastest lineup, the Kings are fast, but they may not be able to take too much advantage, so it is better to play the position and let my cousin destroy Monta one-on-one...... ”

In the end, even Miller himself couldn't believe his nonsense.

Gu Yu singled Monta Ellis, it was indeed very easy, he took the ball with his back to the waist, and abused as much as he wanted.

But Gu Yu's physical energy consumption is also terrible, and it is definitely not easy to sneak away and quickly attack.

The Kings, what are they having?

"Whoosh!"

I don't know what happened during the pause, Wei Shao still had a reluctant expression on his face after half the court, but he obediently handed the ball to Green, let Green hang it to Gu Yu in the waist position, and then ran to the weak side by himself.

Then, the torture began.

"Bang bang bang...... Rub! ”

Dribbling with his back, Ellis's defense was as light as a floating cloud in front of Gu Yu. A back turn feint, Ellis was directly shaken, Gu Yu turned around and walked in the middle, stopped suddenly, raised his head to fly Marion who was defending, and then retreated and shot.

"Huh!"

Middle!

"Good shot! The Kings played very steadily, and they overtook the score and bit back! ”

Although the ball was played beautifully, Albert was still muttering in his heart when he said this.

Pretty is pretty, but it's really unnecessary!

It's two points to play like this, after you kick off, let Wei Shao force a breakthrough, run over Calderon into the inside line, attract the bag and pass out, and the cousin throws two points in the empty position, isn't that simpler??

"It's okay, it's okay! Call back! ”

On the other side, the Mavericks and a group of veterans were even more unhurried, and they also controlled the ball steadily through the half, Calderon commanded the run, and his eyes kept aiming at the weak side of the baseline.

"Dirk's side!"

The Mavericks tactically run, and Carter and Ellis cut inside from both sides at the same time, attracting the Kings defense to shrink. Marion put up a cover on the weak side of the waist, and after sending Dirk high post, he also cut to the bottom corner of the weak side and other three points.

A succinct but lethal run had passed, and before Dirk had yet to get to the three-point line, Calderon's steady and unsteady pass had been delivered.

Catch the ball, step along, raise your eyes, open your hands.

Pointers......

“…… What the?! ”

"Think beautifully!"

Dirk exclaimed, a black guy with teeth and claws in front of him jumped up directly, scolded angrily, the unhappiness in his heart had been held back for a whole game, his long arm stretched out into the air, and he almost touched Dirk's ultra-high arc three-point shot.

Worst......!

Although the ball was not touched, Dirk's rhythm was out of order, and the basketball felt something was wrong as soon as it left the tips of his fingers.

Fortunately, Dirk still threw upside down, landed quickly, and while Green was still in the air, he took a direct step to squeeze inside, ready to grab a frontcourt rebound.

Outside the three-point line in the bottom corner of the weak side, Marion also has an amazing sense of rebounding, and immediately slipped to the bottom line to the three-second zone, and also came to grab this rebound.

however

"......!"

Before Marion could enter the three-second zone, a mountain appeared in front of him.

"Bang......!"

One turn, two slots.

Jermaine O'Neal, from beginning to end, never left half a meter near the three-second zone, his long arms were spread, and he actually carried Marion and Dirk on his own, and even Dirk's strength failed to resist Xiao Ao in the slightest.

On the strong side, a figure burst out.

“…… Syllable! ”

Gu Yu, win the rebound!

"Pretty ......!!"

"Whoosh——!!!"

praised Xiao Ao, Gu Yu landed the ball and sent a long pass directly over the top, Wei Shao on the flank had already begun to go down, Gu Yu's ball had just crossed the middle line, Wei Shao had already caught up with an arrow step, picked the ball out of the air with one hand, and accelerated the dribble.

At this time, I pushed the fast attack again!!

The strange and unpredictable rhythm change of the Kings made the Mavericks unguardable, and the two interior lines were in the frontcourt, and with Calderon, Ellis, and Carter, it was impossible to prevent Wei Shao's surprise attack.

Entering the forbidden area, Wei Shao bent his bow with one hand in the air and slammed his arm fiercely.

"Bang ——!!!"

Fried buckles!!

"......?!"

The court was silent, leaving Dirk before he crossed the halfway line, looking back at the Kings basket with a puzzled expression.

Little O'Neill and Gu Yu were high-fived, and in a trance, Dirk seemed to see something, traveled through the long river of time, and returned to the scene in front of him.

The secret of the Kings' fantastic rotation is about to be revealed before everyone's eyes.
