The Dallas Mavericks are not always a defensive team, especially on the inside, and there are a lot of holes.

Although American experts often overly belittle Nowitzki's strength, accusing him of playing soft, being unable to guard against others, and lacking dominance at critical moments, although some of his remarks are trumped-up charges, there are some problems that have really been exposed by Nowitzki.

The German tank really can't bear this problem when defending against those tall and strong, thick tonnage inner lines, and the American experts are indeed right to blame, after all, the evidence presented by the black person is more convincing, and the odds of all fake goofs are too great, and the fans know a lot about the ball.

After the Mavericks changed to the main lineup, Frank did not stick to the lineup on the court, and replaced even though he was replaced by Li Shihao, but he put Marc Gasol off the court and let the latter rest more.

Tonight, Gasol Jr. made a significant contribution on both offensive and defensive ends, and the physical exertion was not small.

Dacomilisic was redeployed to the centre-forward position, his footwork was nimble, his defensive ability was not bad, and it was enough to combine with Lefu to defend the box.

This lineup is prepared for Li Shihao, who immediately held the ball to face Jason Kidd, and at the same time signaled his teammates to open up the space and prepare to play alone.

Jason Kidd is old after all, and he can't keep up with Li Shihao's offensive rhythm.

Previously, Kidd was able to rely on his rich game experience to eat Li Shihao, but now, after Li Shihao and Jason Kidd have played more times, Li Shihao has gradually adapted to Jason Kidd's defensive style.

It's like a fish swimming out of a river into the sea. It's normal to not adapt, once he adapts, then for the fish, it's as open-minded as the sea and the sky, and he can lock himself up without restraint.

After Li Shihao and Jason Kidd played against each other many times, they also had some experience and grasp in the face of the latter.

The first two years. When the Spurs won the championship, before they reached the top of the West, they had a fierce battle with the Dallas Mavericks, and the French sports car Tony Parker faced off against Jason Kidd several times, and the aging Kidd was severely blown up by Tony Parker.

This season, Kidd is two years older and his pace is getting slower, and for Li Shihao, after finding out the latter's defensive style. It's too easy to eat hard.

Li Shihao directly chose to break through in the face of Jason Kidd, and changed direction sharply, without a trace of mud and water, and directly passed Jason Kidd.

Li Shihao understands very well that it is too unwise to compare feints with Jason Kid, who has played in the league for more than ten years, and has seen more realistic feints.

Since you can't fool the latter. It's better to simply crush the latter with speed, this method is the simplest and most effective.

Jason Kidd was obviously more than capable of defending Li Shihao at this time. Li Shihao's speed is not the top in the league, but he is also ranked in the middle and upper reaches, and he has an excellent rhythm, and he has a good grasp of the timing.

Jason Kidd was careless, and was given by Li Shihao, tonight's game. Jason Kidd is really a defensive colander, and he can't stop Lee Se-ho anymore.

After Li Shihao broke through into the forbidden area, he gave Lefu a look, and Lefu, who had a tacit understanding, immediately came over to make a cover, and immediately blocked Terry and the others behind him. Li Shihao got full opportunity and scored two points with a direct layup.

When Kidd attacked with the ball, Li Shihao was even less panicked, and after putting it so many times, Li Shihao stared at the latter and no longer gave him a chance to shoot in the vacant position, so that Jason Kidd's threat dropped to the lowest point, and Kidd, who had a bad hand, couldn't get an average of 20+10 per game even in his prime, let alone get older now.

After Lee Se-ho locked Kidd, until the end of the third quarter, the latter's scoring data did not exceed double digits, and remained at 8 points.

The Dallas Mavericks are powerless, and no one knows that better than the Mavericks on the court.

At the end of the third quarter, they trailed the Timberwolves by 17 points, which was enough to put the game out of suspense.

This is the playoffs, the chances of a big comeback are too small, and besides, the Dallas Mavericks are not a team that is good at playing against the wind, and they have staged a pitiful number of big turnovers in the past few seasons.

In the middle of the final quarter, seven or eight minutes, the difference between the Timberwolves and the Dallas Mavericks was not narrowed, and seeing the hopeless Mavericks coach Carlisle, he finally sighed, gave up the game, and replaced the bench lineup.

This victory was taken by the Timberwolves!

When the final whistle blew, there was a cheer in the target center, the team took a 2-1 lead, and they could continue to watch their home team play two home games, as long as they won one more game, they basically won the game, and it was only a matter of time before they eliminated the Dallas Mavericks.

After the game, Li Shihao was surrounded by Lefu and them, lifted Li Shihao up, and raised it above his head with cheers.

Li Shihao scored 31 points, 12 assists and 4 steals in this game, and once again became the best player of the game, with 31 points and 12 assists enough to make him shine all over the court.

Lee didn't have much of a scoring explosion tonight, and he fed the interior at critical moments, making Daco Milicic a wonder man in the Timberwolves' lineup, catching the Mavericks off guard.

But Li Shihao did not ignore the outside offense, and his three-point firepower has never been broken, which is one of the important reasons why the Timberwolves were able to win the game tonight.

The Timberwolves, both inside and outside, are what makes the Dallas Mavericks feel extremely tricky, and Li Shihao's three-point firepower makes the Dallas Mavericks unable to wrap up the Timberwolves' interior, so the rhythm is disrupted step by step, and finally loses the chance to win the game.

Lee Shihao only had 8 mid-range shots tonight, hitting 4 shots so-so, but he made 12 three-pointers and hit 8 of them.

Lee Se-ho's three-pointer alone brought in 24 points, which was enough to push the Dallas Mavericks into the bottomless abyss.

After the game, when interviewed by reporters, Dallas Mavericks coach Carlisle said helplessly: "We can't do anything in tonight's game, Darko and Bruce Lee are too good, they are the key reason for the Timberwolves to win!" ”

Mavericks coach Carlisle smiled helplessly in the face of the crowd of reporters surrounding him, tonight's defeat has made him very depressed, and the Timberwolves used the bench and three-point firepower to snatch a victory, which happens to be where the Mavericks are not strong.

Now that the balance of victory in the playoffs has swung in favor of the Timberwolves, their chips have given him more of an advantage!
