Chapter 478: Three Virtues Combination (Ask for Recommendation on Monday)

"Looking at Z's cover, it's like seeing someone playing basketball in a helicopter!" Billups wiped the sweat from his chin and raised an eyebrow at Kidd, "Jason, at your level, don't go in and shoot, pass the ball honestly and grab the rebound." โ€

Kidd's bald head was shiny, and he looked up at the big screen unwillingly, and then went to pick up his teammate's serve with a blank face and prepared to reorganize the attack.

Four seconds ago, Kidd rushed into the box with the help of another Jason of his teammate - Jason Terry and threw a shot, only to Chamberlain to slam out of the slash, his huge body flew into the air to cover the sky, and he slammed the ball directly into the fan box!

What does it mean to be domineering? What does it mean to reign over the world? What does it mean to sweep the Eight Desolations? What does it mean to be in the sky? At this moment, Chamberlain used an iron-blooded cover to make these words clear.

The first quarter of the game began with Chamberlain's special game, and he was very excited against the second center in the West, and there was no indication that he was playing back-to-back games now. After two consecutive layups, he blocked Dampier's dunk, and then combined with Billups to rush to the basket and win the relay.

Then Iverson also opened fire, he slammed the opposite Devin George like a sieve, with the help of Chamberlain's cover and the open space he opened up on the inside, Iverson regarded the restricted area as his own backyard, and threw and layup and another mid-range shot, and the Warriors stopped the Mavericks with 18-10 halfway through the first quarter.

Mavericks coach Carlisle hurriedly called a timeout, and he made changes to the lineup, with the center replaced by the big-shouldered Diop, and the shooting guard was replaced by the team's first leading scorer, Jason Terry, before the two sides began to fight evenly.

Kidd set up Terry's on-range shot to get the Mavericks off to a good start, and Ibaka followed up with a mid-range shot. Diop, who replaced Dampier, played well in the opening game, finding back-to-back opportunities inside and scoring two dunks. After that, Nowitzki hit a three-pointer to blow the horn of the Mavericks' counterattack, and he used his advantage to single Ibaka, and Diop got the opportunity to dunk in this situation - Ibaka couldn't eat Nowitzki by himself, Chamberlain had to make up for it, and the German tank didn't go into the restricted area at all, and he shot the outside, and Chamberlain was also pulled out.

At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks relied on an 8-1 spurt in the last three minutes to tie the score at 28-28. Old Nelson hurriedly dispatched troops, Chamberlain wiped his sweat and patted his chest and said, "BOSS, give Dirk to me!" โ€

Old Nelson didn't want to do this, because it hurt Chamberlain's physical strength too much - the latter had almost the best physical strength in the whole league, except for the little emperor and the monster, no one else could compare with it, he and his compatriot Yao Ming were two extremes, Yao Ming often encountered physical crises, and Chamberlain was always a Tyrannosaurus rex-like existence on the court.

But this does not mean that Chamberlain will not be tired, in the last stage of last season, Chamberlain couldn't stand it, especially when he played the Lakers in the Western Conference finals, Chamberlain's physical strength directly lit up the red light. When he first entered the league last season, Chamberlain weighed 278 pounds (125 kilograms), but by the end of the season, he had dropped to 265 pounds, a full 13 pounds less!

Chamberlain is different from everyone else, the Warriors rely on him on both ends of the floor, and he is an interior player. In basketball, it seems that the outside line is always running as if the physical exertion is more serious, but in fact it is not the case, the players on the inside line have to fight against each other, and every layup is a muscle and muscle competition before it can be carried out, so the inside line has to pay more physical strength.

Chamberlain's explosiveness, bounce speed, strength, and height and reach are all better than Howard's, but there is one thing that he can't compare to Warcraft, and that is endurance.

Nelson Sr. didn't want to continue to suffer this loss this season, especially since they had just finished back-to-back games, the last game against the Wizards, the Warriors won too hard, and the fans only saw Chamberlain successfully limit Jamison, but they didn't see how much effort he put in to limit that guy who can be inside and out.

Looking at Chamberlain, who was covered in sweat, old Nelson just groaned slightly, and then said categorically: "Z down, Evans, you go, pay attention to the bag Dirk!" Don't be too gentlemanly, boys, what do the outside world call me? San Francisco gangsters, yes? Very good, then let me continue to go black! โ€

The current Mavericks are not the same thing as the Mavericks of the old Nelson era, especially with the arrival of Kidd, the old Nelson's previous moves against them are useless, because the point guards they deal with are even better than them, and it is not possible to talk about other people's point guards.

Seeing that the old Nelson let Chamberlain go off the court at this critical juncture, the Warriors fans didn't understand it, there were only two reasons for letting the player go off the court at this time, one was to distrust the player, and the other was to have a better candidate, but it was clear that Chamberlain was the best candidate in the Warriors, and the old Nelson definitely trusted him.

Only the players understand the old Nelson, the old man is protecting Chamberlain, he doesn't care about the outcome of this game at all, which makes Yao Ming particularly envious, whether it is the former Van Gundy or the current Adelman, they like to use him to the death.

After Chamberlain's explanation, especially the temptation of the 2010 World Championships champion, Yao Ming has now learned to be slippery, even if he plays, he will no longer be as conscientious as in the past, he will always find time to rest, and once Adelman does not use him, no matter what the team's record is, he will pretend to be deaf and dumb and not take the initiative to ask for help.

Nelson Sr. has adjusted its equipment, with center Evans, power forward Ibaka, small forward Hill, playmaking guard Iverson, and shooting guard West.

"Go run, bang, boys, play as you please!" Old Nelson waved and roared feverishly like Fรผhrer Hitler, and Moreau and Curry looked at it hotly, but they didn't have a chance.

In fact, the old Nelson is happy to let Morrow play small forward, this guy is an offensive weapon, but if the team is completely uncommanded, you can't really trust Iverson's organizational ability, right? Hehe, that's, that's why it takes a calm Hill to preside over the overall situation.

Hill's task is not to score and attack, but to let him control the tempo when the team is in chaos.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Mavericks still maintained an excellent offensive state, and the adjustments in the second half of the last quarter allowed them to find an offensive feeling, Kidd, a veteran, was still in good spirits, and the Mavericks' outside line was replaced by Stackhouse and Terry, the two musketeers, and Howard was the power forward.

This is going to attack each other, and seeing these two sets of lineups, everyone understands this truth.

Evans is in charge of defending Nowitzki, he has to keep an eye on the opposition and stop the opponent's score by any means, and the responsibility of helping to defend and make up for the penalty area is left to Ibaka.

Without Chamberlain, Nowitzki would not have anyone in mind, and two consecutive counter-runs used flexibility to shake off Evans, and Kidd immediately found an opportunity and sent the ball to Nowitzki's hands with a through pass.

The German tank lifted the ball on the top arc of the penalty area and jumped, and Ibaka did not hesitate to press up to block it. As a result, the two jumped forward and backwards, Nowitzki's upper body leaned back slightly, and his right foot curled up and kicked forward, and with a soft flick of his wrist, he sent the ball out of the hoop.

With a look of rage on his face when Serge Ibaka landed, he pointed at Nowitzki and yelled at the referee: "He kicked me!" Guys, he kicked me with his feet! He kicks me in the balls! This bastard kicks my balls! โ€

Nowitzki glanced at Ibaka flatly, shrugged his shoulders indifferently and ran down, the referees didn't care, if Chamberlain protested, they might be reluctant, but Ibaka? Forget it, rookie, you didn't kick your eggs anyway, so you can be honest.

For Ibaka's experience, Iverson, as the big brother on the court, can only express sympathy, Nowitzki's shooting method is too fucked, he is 2.13 meters tall, his shooting touch is soft, the shooting range can be extended beyond the three-point line, and the shooting is also with a back, how can this be defended? It's not easy to defend, but this guy still likes to curl up one foot in front of him when shooting, and it's just hard to get along with his little brother when he defends this kind of person.

Iverson held the ball and broke quickly, West followed up from the wing and then took off, the answer rushed to the penalty area and pulled Nowitzki and Howard to the bottom line of the basket, and then turned around and passed the ball to the jumping West, West got the ball up and dunked, this combination can be called a seamless talent, but the old Rakidd had long expected such a thing, so West was brutally blocked as soon as he received the ball.

"Let you often face the taste of the Z time!" Kidd said harshly.

Terry picked up the ball and rushed to the front court to show off a violent dunk, at this time Hill's role was realized, he did not force the moment Terry picked up the ball, but immediately retreated, while predicting the opponent's running route, and when Terry ran into the penalty area, he blocked it, and Terry had to pass the ball to Kidd.

Kidd got the ball, Howard came up to cover West, and then the two ran across the route to cover each other again, Kidd passed the ball to Howard, Howard shot in the open space, Evans and Ibaka went up to defend him, Nowitzki ran completely under the basket.

Nelson Sr. couldn't bear to cover his face with his hands, this kind of defensive space is too unacceptable, but fortunately, this has been a common occurrence for the Warriors in the past few seasons, so it will not be very embarrassing.

After a collaboration, Iverson chose to go head-to-head, Terry's defensive skills can only be described as average, his size limits his defensive achievements, and he often feels like he is being taken in the face of excellent point guards such as Billups and Wade, and he is not effective in the face of other small point guards in the league, and his advantage in foot movement speed is often offset by the random choice of position.

Let Terry defend Iverson, is to fancy his speed, but Iverson is not TJ Ford who eats by speed, his skills are even more powerful, in the face of Terry who is loose and saggy, Iverson leans forward with the ball, and rushes two steps parallel to Terry's body, and then his waist and abdomen are forced to hold the ball and pull the distance directly.

Terry could only follow, and at the same time, Iverson's butterfly trick was activated, and with a twist of his shoulder, the ball in his right hand was handed to his left hand as his body drifted, and he jumped up again to shoot a shot.

But in the end, the Mavericks immediately got their revenge, Kidd dribbled into the three-point line and then broke sideways, Iverson's defense was blocked by Nowitzki, and Kidd used his more agile pace and speed than Evans to get past him and take a few steps to the basket.

Although Kidd's shooting percentage is very low, especially mid-range shots, he is very accurate in his three-step layup, especially when he changes direction quickly with one hand, and he can get rid of opponents and score layups as soon as he enters the restricted area, which is one of his few scoring methods.

Everyone knows that Kidd is a famous triple-double king, but unlike most people, in his triple-double, he can usually assist a double-double in the first quarter, rebound a double-double in the second quarter, and then the rest of the time is busy scoring to score a double-double. This is a joke that makes fun of Kidd's poor scoring ability, but it also reflects how good his passing ability is.

Therefore, West, who went up to trap Kidd with Evans, was a bit reckless, or it would be unwise to wrap Kidd at any time, because he had already judged his teammates who wanted to open the space 3 seconds before he was trapped.

Terry blocked Hill, who was firmly guarded by Howard, who followed behind Kidd, and Kidd, who was surrounded by Evans and West, smiled and passed the ball to Howard who was rushing into the box with a flick of his wrist.

Not surprisingly, the violent deduction was successful!
