"Hello everyone, welcome to the Lakers and Mavericks game, Shaq, Kenny, shall we read the starting lists of both sides?" It was the familiar Sir Barkley commenting on the game again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

'I don't think so, maybe the fans are more familiar with the players than we are. Needless to say, the Lakers seem to have become a Lakers game this season. "Kenny Smith is a rare non-'professional'.

"Kenny, you're lazy! Director: I caught a lazy guy......" O'Neal started playing tricks again, "but these players are still my old rivals......"

On January 7, 2014, the Lakers began their first back-to-back Game 2.

Nash didn't play the Nuggets before, and when he was waiting to beat the Mavericks, he came to Dallas a day early, and got together with his old friend Nowitzki.

In this regard, Liu Ren hopes that Nash didn't play last night.

Lakers starting lineup: Nash, McCollum, Liu Ren, Gasol, Thackeray!

Thackeray started again, Carman really didn't fit D'Antoni's style of play, he didn't play as well as Thackeray in the first few games, and his playing time was gradually inferior to Thackraydo.

Thackeray has four points and four rebounds in ten minutes of playing time per game, and occasionally makes a block.

Now Carman is no longer as brave as he used to be, and he basically has Thackeray.

In the middle of the pitch, he is now as unreliable as Thackeray.

Inside singles, I have to say that Thackeray turned around and hooked up this season, and he was very sure of one-on-one when the opponent despised him.

And Thackeray is more active and hardworking, obviously the matchbox-like bounce is stunned to dare to dunk through the opponent, and a pair of big hands catch the ball to death, forcing the opponent to foul.

According to the "scientific" calculations of fans, when Thackeray wanted to dunk the opponent, because the power was concentrated on protecting the ball, the bounce height actually couldn't dunk the basket, which was to make a foul......

Since Green and Gasol were injured last time, Thackeray has averaged 5 points and 6 boards per game, and Gasol has 4 points and 4 boards since his return.

According to some gossip that Liu Ren saw on the forum, there are already many teams staring at Thackeray to get this cheap and easy-to-use center, led by the Heat......

On the Mavericks' side, the starters look miserable, and as Kenny Smith said, the Mavericks' starters are all too familiar to everyone.

If these people go back to five years ago, they would be the favorites to win the championship, but unfortunately time flies and the years are merciless.

Calderon, Ellis, Marion, Nowitzki, and Hellam Porter make up the Mavericks' starting lineup, and the sixth man is Carter.

Looking at these six-person group, the worst Dareham Porter of the year was all tens of millions of insiders.

But now, seeing Thackeray win a jump ball from Dyreham Potter's head, fans are waking up from their youthful years.

The Lakers attack first, and Nash holds the ball.

Mavericks joint defense!

As one of the only four teams in the league to play joint defense, the Mavericks are different from the Spurs, Hawks, and Raptors, and those three teams feel that it is better to play that way, and the Mavericks can't help it.

I have to say that the Mavericks played really well in the joint defense, with excellent positioning and movement, firmly guarding the inside line and the opponent's breakthrough route.

But Liu Ren has watched more than 20 Mavericks' defensive video clips this season, and has figured out what the Mavericks are most afraid of.

Taking inspiration from the Warriors' 44-point game before Christmas, Liu Ren pulled down a 45-degree angle to ask for the ball, and after receiving a pass from Nash, he did not hesitate to catch the ball and shoot a three-point shot.

Liu Ren shot crisply and decisively, playing a joint defense that contracted Marion at the right angle on the right side of the free throw line and Calderon near the baseline on the right side had no time to save, and could only watch the basketball cross a beautiful parabola and fall into the basket.

Marion picked up the ball and slapped it hard, venting his dissatisfaction, thinking that he was one of the best defensive forwards in the league back then, defending from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, and even defending Yao Ming Howard, even when he won the championship two years ago, he still defended Durant as an iron du, and now he can only watch the opponent score on him.

Marion fed the ball to Calderon, who dribbled to the front court and faced Nash, opting for a single.

Calderon doesn't look at the 33-year-old, the breakthrough pace is still so good, of course, this needs to be supported by his peers, in front of Nash he is a super breakthrough, easily breaking through to the mid-range pull-up jump shot.

Calderon's mid-range shooting was once second to none among point guards in the league, with a terrifying performance of 52 percent three-point shooting rate and 47 percent shooting percentage in a single season.

To give a comparison, Kobe Bryant and Nowitzki are both very good at shooting, but their highest shooting percentage in the year is not as good as Calderon's.

Of course, Kobe Bryant and Nowitzki's mid-range shots and defensive pressure are incomparable to Calderon's, Calderon is just a role player and the defensive pressure is very small.

Offense and defense switch, Lakers offense.

The Mavericks continued to defend the joint defense, and did not change their strategy because of Liu Ren's three-point game, and if the defensive system was chaotic, they would have no way to play.

Liu Ren was unceremonious and continued to shoot outside the three-point line......

Again!

Nowitzki looked at Liu Ren, who was high-fived with Nash, and faintly felt that something was wrong, and he seemed to see the possibility that what happened half a month ago was going to happen again.

As the saying goes, what is afraid of something, and then Liu Ren hit two more three-pointers, and the Mavericks relied on Calderon to use Nash's defensive difference to shoot 3 of 4 to score 6 points, but the difference has become 6-12, and the Mavericks fell behind by 6 points in the first 3 minutes!

It's the Lakers offense again, this time the Mavericks' defense is messed up, Marion is the first to be uncontrollable, and rushes out to defend Liu Ren when he receives the ball.

Liu Ren looked at Marion who pounced, and immediately started, accelerated one step past Marion who pounced on him, and rushed into the inner line.

Liu Ren's interior frame offense has become the focus of other teams in the league, and the Mavericks are not the Nuggets' team that has been scrapped on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and Nowitzki and Haitian Delham Porter immediately wrapped them up.

Liu Ren was waiting for this moment, and when the opponent came over, he hoisted the ball to Thackeray on the inside, who dunked with both hands and helped Liu Ren add an assist.

This kind of small-scale cooperation is as simple as drinking water for Liu Ren!

Offense and defense transition, Mavericks attack.

Calderon continued to single Nash, this time Liu Ren took the initiative to attack and quickly made up the defense in place, Calderon, as Spain's chief point guard, did not cover the overall situation, and passed the ball to Ellis, who Liu Ren was supposed to defend.

It's a pity that Ellis, who was eager to show himself in front of the Lakers, was too anxious, and suddenly went inside to force a layup, but was pressed on the ball by Thackeray.

Thackeray practiced with Whiteside almost every day this season, learned a lot of skills about grabbing rebounds and blocks, and aimed at the opportunity to give Ellis a hot pot that split his head and face!
