Chapter 136: The Fourth Game Begins
Date:2014-02-18
The Spurs' victory has undoubtedly indicated the end of this season's bull-horse battle, and it seems that although the Mavericks won the best record in the regular season, and even almost broke the 72-10 record set by the Bulls, the shortcomings have always been shortcomings, whether you like it or not, it is there Avery Johnson is still not sophisticated enough. Winning the championship is not such a simple thing, many factors come together to make you win the championship, the Mavericks rely too much on the stars, this shortcoming is the fundamental reason why it is difficult to break through the Spurs, or the crucial reason, the Mavericks and the Spurs The battle between the Mavericks and the Spurs gives people the feeling that every time the Mavericks attack is a one-person fight, while the Spurs are just the opposite, every attack is a whole team fighting together, not that the Mavericks' team is not harmonious, Rather, the Mavericks' tactical system is such that Johnson relies too much on star singles, which is a key reason why they can't win against the Spurs
The Mavericks' most reliable star singles is Nowitzki, and then the offensive options are Terry and Josh Howard, but the thing we must know is who is the pillar of this Spurs, is that Stone Buddha Duncan, that is both offensive and defensive, one of the greatest power forwards in history, Nowitzki, although he is also a historical figure in the position of power forward, but I have to say that compared with Dumb, it is still a little bit worse, once Dumb can limit Nowitzki's play, Then the Mavericks have already lost half of this game, especially when the rest of the Spurs have no major flaws, and in the face of Vicky's team tactics, the Mavericks are really powerless
This series can be said to be the Mavericks lost to the Spurs, or it can be said that Nowitzki lost to the stupid, or Avery Johnson lost to the ** Vicky Anyway, it doesn't matter who loses to whom now, because the Mavericks are about to go back to Dallas to play mud to win and lose, the winner is king, now no matter what the reason is, it's useless, and there is no need, what can be done and what is to be done is to find the reason for his loss, and then correct it
There is no suspense for the Spurs to advance, but the only thing they need to worry about is Parker's injury, once Parker's injury is serious, then a qiē may happen, even if the Mavericks take the opportunity to turn the tables, it is not impossible and Parker's injury is too strict, plus will have a great impact on this year's championship winner
When the Spurs successfully defend their two home courts, they will fly to Dallas for the fifth game between the two sides, and the next day after the game between the Mavericks and the Spurs, the fourth game between the Cavaliers and the Pistons also began, and the score of the two sides is 2:1 The Cavaliers successfully won the match point in the last game and regained the initiative in this series
However, there is bad news for the Cavaliers, that is, Hamilton will return for this game, and it seems that the injuries he suffered in the previous game are not as severe as everyone imagined before, otherwise he would not have been able to rest for so many two days
Before the start of the game, a reporter asked Chen Jiyuan if he had any thoughts on Hamilton's injury. As for Hamilton's actions that day, Mr. Chen, do you think that is a malicious foul?
In response to the reporters' questions, Chen Jiyuan replied with a smile: "I also feel sorry for Richard's injury, that foul he just wanted to stop me from dunking, and there was no malice, but Richard accidentally hit his shoulder after he landed, which is more unfortunate, what happened that day is something that no one wants to see."
A reporter asked Chen Jiyuan: "Excuse me, Mr. Chen, do you think the knights can be promoted?" ”
Chen Jiyuan said without the slightest hesitation: "Of course, I firmly believe that our team is the strongest" Chen Jiyuan is not really arrogant to the point that a current cavalier is the strongest team, but if a team does not think that its team is the strongest, then how can it win? And how do you become the strongest team?
The game is about to start, the players on both sides are actively preparing for the activities, the Pistons are now holding back enough energy to win this game, and finally won a game in the loan center, but there was such a thing as the main injury of the team, the director lost the last game This luck is really enough to carry Now this home game must be won, especially Hamilton, his mood is strong in Hamilton's heart, and he has to bear the unshirkable responsibility for the loss of the last game. For Chen Jiyuan's foul, it is also that he doesn't know enough about Chen Jiyuan, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a thing, just like when James dunked later, Hamilton didn't take the risk to stop it, which can also be said to be Hamilton's attention to Chen Jiyuan, Cheng Dù is not enough, if the ball is Nelson standing there, he won't go up to make up for him, and the riding dunk is enough for Nelson to understand the gap between his body and Chen Jiyuan
The Pistons' lineup hasn't changed much, it's still Rasheed Wallace, Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, Tyshawn Prince and Chris Webb
And today's Cavaliers are James, Chen Jiyuan, Gooden, Hughes and Gibson, Brown decided to let Alexander play on the bench, mainly because of Alexander's softness at the last moment in the last game, which made Brown a little disappointed, and Gibson did much better than Alexander in this regard
Jumping ball in the middle line, this time Rashid Wallace jumped the ball to win Chen Jiyuan, the Pistons attacked Billups first and dribbled the ball steadily through the half, after Hamilton ran out of the open space, he received the ball and shot in a mid-range shot, and the ball went into Hamilton's confident smile proved how much he was looking forward to this game 0:2
When the Cavaliers attacked, the tactics arranged by Brown were that Chen Jiyuan was now open inside, and then shifted the focus of attack to the outside to the Pistons' interior defense is indeed a small shortcoming, not to mention that Webber is not the kind of fighter with strong defense, even Rasheed Wallace is difficult to limit the offense of interior players with strong attacking power when he is alone, and Weber has nothing for defense
When Chen Jiyuan was in the middle distance with his back against Rashid Wallace to get to the position, Hughes hoisted the ball in Chen Jiyuan comfortably received the ball, and then felt the position of Rashid Wallace behind him, generally Rashid Wallace still didn't dare to stick too tightly with Chen Jiyuan, because only when the defender has the advantage of strength, he dared to stick to the defense, otherwise, he would be squeezed away by the opponent by strength, and then get a good offensive space Now Rashid Wallace doesn't talk about the strength advantage, His strength is inferior, so he can only be separated from Chen Jiyuan by a small distance
Because there was no strength behind him to resist himself, Chen Jiyuan turned his body and was about to hit head-on, Rashid Wallace's hand kept dangling in front of Chen Jiyuan, but Chen Jiyuan didn't look at it, it was just a false dangling, and then he stepped back to the left, and hit 2:2 with a mid-shot shot
On the next ball, Billups shot a three-pointer and hit 2:5
Chen Jiyuan suffered a bag and passed to Gooden, Gooden's mid-range shot, hit the last two games, no one found that Gooden's hand seemed to be very good, although there were not many points in these games, and because of the rise of Alexander and Gibson, everyone intentionally or unintentionally ignored this big forward with a somewhat soft style of play 4:5
Hamilton once again ran out of space, catching the ball and swaying Gibson away, then taking two steps forward before hitting a 4-7 shot
Both sides played the rhythm they wanted, and there were no big waves in the first quarter, with both sides scoring and hitting each other
In the first quarter, both sides maintained a good shooting rate for Chen Jiyuan, the Pistons are difficult to restrict, because Weber's bag is always so slow and half a beat, on the one hand, Weber's heart is not so like defense, on the other hand, Webber's physical quality is also declining, and the degree is also obviously degraded In the previous two games, Weber also assisted Rashid Wallace to work very hard to clamp and defend, but the problem is this, the effect of the package in the first few games is not so obvious, which makes Weber's heart a little slack
Today's first quarter was 29:28 with the Pistons leading by one point to end the first quarter.
