Now the game on the Pacers' side is getting worse and worse, if it weren't for Zhang Kong's superhuman vision, you can always find the loopholes in the Mavericks' defense, maybe the Pacers' side would have hung up a long time ago, Nowitzki's offense alone is enough to withstand the offense of the whole Pacers, the same position, the same offense, but the Pacers have no way at all.

Zhang Kong once thought about letting Deng Tai Jones or himself help the defense, but as soon as he walked away, Nowitzki could always find an open space on the outside and pass the ball to Kidd or Terry, Terry's mid-range shot or Kidd's three-pointer, all of which fired at that time.

The Pacers don't have any chance to compete with this kind of firepower, Zhang Kong looked at the current situation, his head was spinning rapidly, he was thinking of a way, but as far as the current situation was concerned, except for a little strong attack, there was no other move at all.

Playing the Mavericks, the best way to play, is to find a point, to fight to the death, whether it is the period of the little general Johnson, or the current Carlisle period, this is a particularly good easy, the more balanced your whole team, the more comfortable he will be to play you.

The Mavericks were known as the top of the league in the 06-07 season, which is not unreasonable, although they were blacked out that season, but in the regular season, they were invincible, and the Mavericks' tactics only have one move, turn to change positions, and hit your weaknesses.

With your own longest end, hit your weakness, and if you continue to play like this, no matter what team you are, you will lose miserably.

Unless you don't have a weakness of your own, or like a warrior, whether you have a weakness or not, I just feel so good that it goes against the sky.

It's a chaotic battle, a mess of punching the master to death, and that's how the Mavericks fell in the first round of the playoffs and were nailed to the pillar of shame.

When Carlisle came to the Mavericks, he brought new ideas, but he didn't touch the Mavericks' original founding philosophy.

Rotate to play the opponent's weakness, which is a very correct way of playing, and now the weakness of the Pacers is Granger, because of the lack of height, then they use Nowitzki to constantly hit your weakness, and then when defending, all your positions are dead.

Defensive balance, teams that have always played the weakness of others will pay attention to the defensive balance in their position.

If Josh Howard and Dampier were still around, it would probably be very comfortable, but even if they weren't there...... The Mavericks are still leading because their weakness is the No. 1 position, and the No. 1 position on the Pacers' side, Hibbert is off.

This old boy always can't control his hands, and always likes to pat each other's little hands with his own hands.

It's a big headache, while Nowitzki is on offense, very easy to attack, he has a good hand today, maintains a certain shooting percentage, so that he can completely tear apart the Pacers' defense.

On the Pacers' side, there is no strong point that can be used to hit the Mavericks' defense, Zhang Kong's offense is unfavorable, and in the face of old Kidd, when old Kidd no longer entangles with him in strength but begins to use the team's defense to limit Zhang Kong, Zhang Kong has not many ways.

Dundee Jones has a lot of advantages on his side against Terry, but today his hand is outrageously cold.

Mike Dunleavy, this guy is up against one of the toughest guys in the league, Sean Marion.

If KG's defense is a castle, then Marion's defense is a city wall, and the league is famous for being a master who can defend multiple positions, although the offensive side lacks Nash, and it is not like the original can get another twenty+ results, but defensively in the Mavericks, Marion is definitely a defensive gate, and his defensive ability is much stronger than his offensive ability.

Mike Dunleavy, a guy who can only shoot, immediately turned off the fire in the face of this hacker who can defend four positions.

And Granger's offense on the inside, under Nowitzki's defense, is also particularly weak, and Nowitzki's defense is very poor.

Because his style of play is too soft, but coincidentally, Granger is also the same problem, two people with a soft style of play meet together, the advantage of height and size, so that Nowitzki is also rare hard, Murphy in the fifth position is mainly offensive outside, he is an ornament on the inside, he is not as good as Nowitzki on the offensive end, although he has a certain scoring ability, but this scoring ability compared with the whole Mavericks team, it is not only miserable, it is simply miserable! Relying on Zhang Kong's pass is also a matter sooner or later.

Finally, what Zhang Kong thought of appeared, Duntai Jones made a three-point shot, did not score, and it was Jason Kidd who grabbed the rebound, Nowitzki's must-kill was released many times, and Jason Kidd has never let go of the must-kill.

Although Kidd is now older, and his level has dropped from 90+ to 88 now, his nirvana is still there.

The prerequisite for Kidd to make a kill is that he needs to grab a rebound in the backcourt, and Kidd must be like that: a long pass.

As soon as Kidd landed, he saw that there were already Mavericks players running in the front court, and a long pass that was used to piercing the whole court came in his hand, and Terry, who had almost run to the Pacers' interior line, picked up the ball with a slight hand.

Every time Kidd rebounds in the backcourt, he will create a fast break opportunity, but this kind of fast break is not a fast break like the Warriors and Suns, but a long-distance raid, just like Terry and him now, they are separated by at least ten meters, but the basketball still accurately found Terry in front, and after Terry received the ball, he threw the ball into the basket with an easy layup.

"It's over!" Zhang Kong looked at the score on the court, his brows furrowed tightly, the current Mavericks really make the Pacers unable to speak, if there is really someone on his side who can feel hot, maybe it is possible to break through the Mavericks' defense.

Just like the Mavericks playing the Cavaliers and the Lakers, James can force the Mavericks and shatter the Mavericks' position, Kobe can force the Mavericks, and then play a drift shot to mess up the opponent's defensive lineup, but now the Pacers can't.

Because they don't have a main offensive core, this is really a bit surprising, even Zhang Kong doesn't know what to say! In the second quarter, the Mavericks ended the first half with a six-point lead at 66-60, and the six-point gap was not particularly large.

But for the Pacers, it's not just a matter of six points, at the beginning of the second half, the Pacers' hand instantly dropped to the freezing point, which Zhang Kong had long thought of, Jim O'Brien looked at the situation on the court, and couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

In the third quarter, after the Pacers' hands dropped, Zhang Kong tried to score on his own.

But his offensive data is too low, and the data is data-based, which also cuts off Zhang Kong's idea that Zhang Kong can be like others, with an explosive personality and score twenty or thirty points in a game, but Zhang Kong's shooting rate of more than 30 percent still struggles to support the offensive routine on the Pacers' side, and in the third quarter of the game, the Pacers only scored 23 points, and 11 of them came from Zhang Kong.

So far, Zhang Kong has scored 19 points from the team, but this has also made Zhang Kong tired.

Looking at the current situation of the team, Zhang Kong could only sigh helplessly, for him, the law of this game has been determined at this time. At the end of the third quarter, 95-83, the Mavericks had stretched the score to 12 points...... They won by six more points in the third quarter.

As long as there are no accidents in the final quarter, it is simply an impossible task for the Pacers to win the game, and the final quarter has become the world of the Mavericks' bench, but the Pacers are also trying to catch up.

Granger finally regained some touch, after scoring five points in a row, Zhang Kong hit a three-pointer again, chasing the score to only six points, and at the critical moment, Nowitzki made trouble again, hitting two goals in a row, and after scoring four points in a row, Kidd assisted Terry again, Terry hit two consecutive shots, and the visiting team played a wave of 8-0 small **, directly hitting the difference between the two teams to 14 points...... The home team became more and more anxious, and the shooting percentage dropped again, and with the three-point miss of Granger and Zhang Kong, the Pacers' home court was powerless, and the fans in the stadium did not leave when they saw the home team was unfavorable like other courts.

They were still sitting in their seats, knowing that the home team had no hope of winning, but they were still sitting there.

Cheer for the home team, cheer on! With the electronic ringtone 'squeak', the whole game is officially over.

In the end, the Mavericks won 113-107, away from home, winning the Pacers by 6 points, after losing this game, the Pacers' defeat has reached three, with a season record of 11 wins and three losses, and the two consecutive wins were ended, giving the Mavericks two consecutive wins.

The Mavericks' win reached 12-4, biting tightly behind the tail of the Lakers, the Lakers were 12-3 at this time, and they had squeezed out the Pacers and became the first in the league by virtue of their winning percentage, and the Pacers fell with it.

And that's just one of the ripple effects, as the Pacers lost their third game of the season and their win percentage dropped to 78.5 percent, while the rest of the league had the Celtics 12-4 with a 75 percent win rate, the Cavaliers with an 11-5 win rate with a 68.7 percent win rate, the Hawks with a 12-4 win rate at 75 percent and the Magic at 13 wins and 4 losses at a 76.4 percent win rate.

Although the Pacers are still in first place in the East, the Magic are only 0.5 games away from his wins, while the Hawks and Celtics are only one win away, the Cavaliers are two games behind, and the Pacers will face four consecutive Western Conference road trips next.

Now they only need to lose one game to fall from first place in the East to fourth place in the East......
