In the second quarter, the old Nelson did not send all the main benches to the court, because he also knew that the Knicks' bench was not vegetarian, and this was also a battle to strengthen the Mavericks' confidence, and he could only send the most certain points and faces to play the game.

Replace Mutombo, replace Josh, Nowitzki plays center, if Yao Ming is still on the field, the opening of the inside Yao Ming to take a circle, the second point is to speed up the rhythm of their side, it is best to bring the rhythm up.

If it is the second team in the league, even if it is Nash's Suns now, the Knicks will not be afraid of this change in rhythm, but the five people on the court of the Mavericks now have strong movement and projection ability, especially the ability to shoot three-pointers, although Yao Ming can ensure the shooting rate and efficiency on the court, and can ensure the range of defense, but in this way, the defensive rhythm will become much faster, for example, Yao Ming used to pass the half court in eight seconds, but now it must be increased to six seconds.

Don't underestimate the time of these two seconds, once Yao Ming exceeds his own unique rhythm, the physical strength, spirit, and injury risk will increase exponentially, and the Knicks strictly control Yao Ming's playing time on the court, and constantly take care of Yao Ming's knees, ankles and other weight-bearing parts below the waist off the court, which is already a major problem for the Knicks, especially now that Yao Ming's weight is constantly increasing.

If the general team has no way but to let Yao Ming consume, but the Knicks, it is enough for Coater to replace Yao Ming, plus Battier, the average altitude of the Knicks' lineup has dropped a lot at once, but the speed of movement has risen very quickly.

The second quarter ended in such a fast-paced contest between the two sides, and the most brilliant at this time was not the main scorers of the two teams, Nowitzki and Allen, but the two who controlled the rhythm of Gong Feng and Kidd. The one who makes a wonderful pass.

In the position、The two of them switch freely at a fast pace。 It completely shows the status of the two in the league as point guards. In the second quarter, the other four were all replaced, but Kidd and Gong Feng played almost the entire first half.

As long as one person persists, the other person will never give up, and both of them cherish the time they have to fight each other.

There is no moment when the competition between the two sides stops, that is, when the star of the team needs to play alone to open the situation, the supporting players must also keep running and running. As long as there is a slight time period that can be played on your side, you have to do it, score a difficult top 10 goal, and there is no time to celebrate, because in the moment you celebrate, you risk missing your own defender.

The mental concentration of the players on both sides was very concentrated throughout the game.

However, this kind of competition still produced a big gap between each other in the second half of the fourth quarter, and in the case of similar scoring ability of both sides, defense became the most important factor, and in this case, the team's star became the strongest point of attack. And in this regard, the Knicks are now superior.

"Nowitzki's shot can be interfered with. Especially now that we have the best forward defense in the league, these are the weaknesses that our assistant coach has worked hard to identify, and these are the weaknesses of Nowitzki, for example, in these points, we need to press him, we can't give him any shots, such as when he attacks with the ball, we have to pay attention......"

"Of course, his teammates will definitely cover well for him, and some of those points may not work in the game, but we can do some preparation in the front and beat the Mavericks in one fell swoop in the late game."

"Bosh, Cott, Battier, Gerrard, the four of you have to be ready, even if you are the main force to defend Nowitzki in this game, although the Mavericks are not Nowitzki's team, but in the most critical battle, Nowitzki is the only point they can choose."

"As long as you don't have a problem with your hand in this game, as long as it's not because of your mentality, then you will definitely win the final victory, do your best, and hit someone's big mouth hard away from home."

"Yes!" You must be supportive of your boss's positivity!

……

Before the development of 'Golden Rooster Independence', Nowitzki was not a superscorer in the strict sense of the league's first-tier sequence, especially in '04, and Nowitzki was not strictly the first player on the Mavericks.

Although Finley was traded, it was because he was already in poor shape, and the Mavericks are looking at Nowitzki's future, not his present, and Nowitzki, who has just finished his rookie season, needs more improvement to get what he wants.

Among the other players, Kidd and Gong Feng have already been exhausted, and Kidd's offensive ability is not difficult to defend, Terry and Ray Allen ran the whole court, and it is impossible to stand up at the end, as for Jamison, Josh and the like It is impossible to stand up in such a fierce situation, the scoring ability of the two is now in the questioning stage, you must know that the Knicks' strongest defense comes from the inside and forward.

In the end, the score gap between the two sides was within 10 points, you must know that in the five minutes before the end, the two sides were still tied scores, but in the last five minutes, the Knicks showed a side that is rarely reflected by outsiders, and the full rest of the two quarters, and the very physical Yao Ming scored eight points in a row in the last five minutes, including two free throws for fouls, and Hill was even more powerful in the last quarter, scoring 12 points in this quarter alone.

However, the Mavericks did not step up in the end, and Nowitzki barely managed to make 3 of 10 shots in the final quarter.

The Mavericks, who were still one of the contenders in the Finals last season, were completely 'humiliated' by the Knicks this season after such two big trades, and the Mavericks' home court was already silent at the end...... It seems that the status of fourth place in the west is no longer so important.

Old Nelson looked at Nowitzki, who was not good at words, and showed a very silent look, watching him constantly knock on his knees very unwillingly, and Nelson Sr. was also silent, in terms of understanding the Mavericks, understanding Nowitzki, Nelson Sr. can be said to be the one with the most right to speak, cultivating Nowitzki to the present, Nelson Sr. knows the current Mavericks team too well, and knows Nowitzki too well, but after the transformation to the offensive and defensive lineup, some hidden dangers of the Mavericks have also been involuntarily exposed.

Although the arrival of Kidd and Mutombo does enhance a lot of the team's strength, the depth of the squad, the attitude of the defense, the personnel, and most importantly, the tenacity. But the Mavericks' weakness was also exposed, that is, who are the players that the team can trust in the moment when they really need someone to step up?

Kidd? Now Kidd is undoubtedly the core of the Mavericks, and whether the team can win or not depends largely on him, but now he has also reached a place where he needs to change, some changes in the style of play, changes in the type of organization team, and Kidd is still adapting to the new players of the Mavericks.

The most important thing is that Kidd is indeed a player who can also score at critical moments, but Kidd is definitely not a very reliable scoring core player, especially when blocking the interior and testing his most basic scoring ability, Kidd can only stand up when he plays well, but he can't stand up when he is extremely strong in all aspects like the Knicks.

In the early stage of this game, all the game process has exhausted Kidd's physical and mental strength in all aspects, Gong Feng is not so easy to defend, and the Mavericks need Kidd's transmission more in the early stage, if it is a heads-up, maybe the Mavericks have lost the game in the third quarter.

Although this season, the team has added a lot of offensive routines and many different tactical options, but the Mavericks used to be a team that used to be a heads-up main offensive tool, but now it has suddenly become the standard form of a championship team, which is too different from the past.

Nash and Kidd also have a lot of differences in their passing ability, and Mutombo is also very different from the jumpers of the past, but the fact that the Mavericks can still be ranked in the top four in the West is a big testament to their success. (To be continued.) )
