Chapter 274: The Rise of the UAE
The UAE squeezed Nowitzki out of the box and 24 seconds were on the horizon. With no choice but www.biquge.info nowzki, Nowitzki had to force a turn and shoot. The basketball slammed into the hoop and bounced back.
Once again, the UAE got the rebound and passed the ball to Wu Di. Kidd used his strength to squeeze Wu Di, not wanting him to play a fast attack.
Wu Di passed the ball to Sun Yue who came over from the side, then shook off Kidd and took the ball from Sun Yue's hand. The Mavericks player came over to block Wu Di, Sun Yue cut into the inside, Wu Di passed the ball in, Sun Yue received the ball and jumped to dunk and score.
Coming back, the Mavericks attacked again. Nowitzki, who did not believe in evil, beat the UAE again, but was still let go by the UAE.
There was a round in which Nowitzki was on the outside and was interfered with by the UAE.
Nowitzki's three attacks were all destroyed by the UAE, which caused great heated discussions for a while.
"Yi was in good shape today, and he actually defended three of Nowitzki's attacks. If he restrained Nowitzki today, the Mavericks would have no chance of winning today. ”
The Mavericks immediately called a timeout and replaced Jason Terry. Nowitzki was defended, the Mavericks' offensive power was almost gone, and the Mavericks had to strengthen their offense and not let the Lakers pull away from the score.
As soon as Jason Terry came up, he immediately began to attack the penalty area. Jason Terry is much better than Barria, Ali Root can't defend him, his outside defense is good, but not fast enough.
Relying on Jason Terry, the Mavericks didn't let the Lakers pull away.
In the third section, the Zen master did not replace the UAE, since he played so well, then it would be good to let him continue to play. And the UAE Bigasol can also open up space, which is also suitable for the field.
In the eighth minute of the third quarter, Jason Terry's physical exertion was too great, and he continued to hit the inside line to help the Mavericks chase the score, and the Mavericks basically relied on him during this time.
As soon as Jason Terry came off the court, the Mavericks' offense was over.
The UAE really broke out today, and Nowitzki didn't take advantage of it once in singles.
Relying on the outbreak of the United Arab Emirates, the Lakers led by 20 points at the end of the third quarter. With only one quarter left, it was impossible to get back the 20-point difference with the Lakers, and the Mavericks lost the game without incident.
The UAE broke out in this game, because the playing time was enough and the data was very good, with 23 points and 14 rebounds, which can be regarded as a relatively large double-double.
The UAE's outburst disrupted the Mavericks' tactical set-up, with their defensive line strong but flawed inside. When the inner line cannot be opened, it needs to be supported by the outside line. But the Lakers' outside defense is too strong, and the Mavericks can't open the situation outside the three-point line at all.
They shot 2-of-8 from three-point range and shot just 25 percent from three-point range. On the other hand, the Lakers shot 6 of 12 three-pointers, reaching 50%, which is twice as many as the Mavericks.
In the second game, the UAE was still in good shape. Nowitzki tried again to single-handedly the United Arab Emirates, but was still blocked by the United Arab Emirates. The state of the UAE made the Zen master happy to use him, and the UAE defensive guard was also much stronger than Gasol, so the Zen master replaced the UAE in the middle of the first quarter to let Gasol rest, accumulate energy, and prepare for the upcoming finals.
Kobe Bryant played point guard in this game, Fisher couldn't prevent Jason Terry, and Kobe Bryant could only go on in person. Although Kobe's speed can't keep up with Jason Terry, it is much stronger than Fisher. Wu Di played the No. 2 position, and the No. 3 position was Sun Yue, so in the second half of the first quarter, the Lakers' space was opened, and it was easy for anyone to break through, and it was impossible for the Mavericks to defend.
Kobe Bryant played point guard, and Wu Di played without the ball. Bryant's ball handling and playmaking skills are not bad, he just didn't want to do that before, and now when he needs to do it, he will do it well.
This season, in order to give Wu Di the ball, Kobe Bryant basically played without the ball. He has already selected Wu Di as his successor, he can't fight for a few years, and he starts to make way for newcomers appropriately, as long as his data is guaranteed. Kobe Bryant's statistic is the score, and he wants to improve his scoring as much as possible before the end of his career to surpass Jordan.
He didn't delay his scoring without the ball, and in the first and third quarters, Wu Di would try to take care of him and often cooperate with him. There were also a few minutes in the second quarter that he dominated, so Kobe's stats weren't bad, and Kobe Bryant's ability to make the All-NBA team this season showed that his stats weren't bad, averaging 25.6 points, 6.2 assists and 3.5 rebounds per game.
Of the Lakers' Big Three, only Gasol sacrificed his data, and he only averaged 14.7 points per game, which was about the same as Bynum, Pekovic and others.
"Smack!" The UAE racked the ball out of bounds. He just blocked Nowitzki, and Nowitzki was careless, he threw a few balls before, and the UAE just interfered, and as soon as he relaxed, he was covered by the UAE.
The basketball went out of bounds, the Mavericks re-served, Jason Terry broke through with the ball, Kobe Bryant didn't catch up, and Jason Terry made a successful layup.
Coming back, Wu Di entered the restricted area, Nowitzki came to make up for the defense, the United Arab Emirates was empty outside the three-point line, Wu Di passed the ball, and the United Arab Emirates made a three-point shot and hit the basket.
Kidd went inside, and the UAE went over to make up for it, interfered with Kidd's layup, and then grabbed the rebound and threw the ball to Wu Di. Wu Di launched a fast break, went beyond the three-point line, and threw the ball into the air. Bryant rushed up, pressed the ball into the basket, and scored in the open spot.
The highlight performance of the UAE made all the fans very excited. They don't have a very deep impression of the UAE, they only know that the UAE has a certain strength, and they all treat him as a role player, but they didn't expect the UAE to show the performance of a superstar.
24 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks! Once again, the UAE played strong statistics to help the Lakers win against the Mavericks.
Wu Di only scored 18 points in this game, but got 21 assists, and he played all of this game to help his teammates, and it is normal to have less statistics.
On May 22, the two sides moved to Dallas and arrived at the Mavericks' home court.
After the Mavericks returned to their home court, morale went up a lot. However, their lineup deficiencies are hard to remedy, and the play of key scorers Nowitzki and Jason Terry will be crucial. The UAE limited Nowitzki's play like Nowitzki's nemesis, and Kobe Bryant limited Jason Terry's play. Jason Terry can only play with Nowitzki, and the others can't help at all.
The Mavericks struggled to win a game, this time the Mavericks' outside feel was very good, Stevenson became the biggest hero of the Mavericks, and he magically shot 5 three-pointers under Wu Di's defense, which was really outstanding.
However, the next Mavericks were not so lucky, losing all two games in a row, losing to the Lakers 1:4.
