Jordan's players play hard.

If you can shoot yourself, you don't divide the ball, the offense decides to do it quickly, you can shoot when you need to, and you can pass when you need to.

This style of play occupies more shots, but does not occupy much of the ball, and the ball possession rate is not high.

Finley is the standard Jordan player, the favorite of the head coach of a championship-level team.

But this type of player has a flaw – they make them organize the offense, and 90% of them are single-handed.

Let them be in control, it will become their singles, teammates stand and watch, play a few more rounds, and the teammates' running rhythm will be gone.

Now the Mavericks have this kind of problem!

Finley's choice of playing style is fine, but he is not Jordan or Kobe, and his mid-to-long-distance singles are his strengths, but there is still a gap compared to those two.

Jordan and Bryant met with a close guard in the mid-range, and if they were able to continue one-on-one, they had the ability to use step-backs, step-backs, and pull-ups to force the score, but Finley couldn't.

Jordan and Kobe Bryant have no choice but to break through the offensive frame, they have a close-range scoring ability that is stronger than the inside, shooting around 45% most seasons, and even occasionally more than 50% in seasons, and the top interior is out of reach.

Finley chose to break through when he encountered the close defense, but his 37% close-range shooting rate was also able to shoot, and when Li Ao contracted and O'Neal Jr. made up the defense, he didn't dare to shoot directly.

Trying to pass the ball, his teammates lost their rhythm on the offensive end!

As a result, Finley made a mistake and was forced to make a strong throw.

At the beginning of the game, the Mavericks relied on Finley to press the Clippers for more than two minutes, and after playing 6-5, they were beaten 7-3 by the Clippers.

The Clippers fought 3 counters in 4 rounds!

The score came to 12-8, and the Clippers stopped the Mavericks!

Nelson Sr. was caught off guard, and Gentry was quite surprised.

The counter-attack score was expected by Gentry, but Big Q's three-pointer and Odom's return pass to Bradley's head were unexpected.

He didn't expect that Spider-Man, who has always been steady in their passing, would pass so wildly when it came time to 'freely decide to attack in the high post'.

I'm afraid that I haven't studied the Kings game too much?

2 assists and 2 turnovers, both of which were out of bounds......

Fortunately, when he didn't give 'unlimited passes', Spider-Man was still very steady.

The two mistakes also proved that their Spider-Man vision is really good, but the normal way of playing will feel that it is not a good passing condition and will not pass like that.

Gentry's lineup adjustment is purely to play defense, just bite the score, disrupting the opponent's rhythm is the goal of changing the formation, and the extra 5 points are a surprise.

But not in the eyes of old Nelson.

He thinks that the fan on the other side of him is a combination of his offensive thinking and Larry Brown's defensive philosophy!

It's been a long time since I've met such an interesting opponent, and Nelson Sr. misses the opponents of the '80s and early '90s, all of whom have faded out of the league and survived in the league, like Pat Riley, who defended like Pat Riley.

Even Adelman has a defense-based coaching style, and Princeton is flashy, but it is a pure positional play.

Since the NBA shutdown, Nelson Sr. has kept a low profile because no one in the league has been able to touch his strings.

Tonight, he felt provoked!

His sensitive lead burns at the slightest touch!

…

After the timeout, the Clippers did not make any substitutions, and since the tactics were effective and the effect was better than expected, Gentry was ready to see how the opponent's response was.

He looked at the opposite lineup rotation......

(_)

Howard Ellis, Nash, Finley, Juwan Howard, Nowitzki.

What kind of lineup is this?

Don't defend anymore?

It's a first-class defensive team ranked eleventh in the league in defense, what kind of reputation is this?

Soon, nine seconds after the game resumed, Gentry understood what the other side was up to.

Nash and Juwan Howard blocked and dismantled, quickly wound from the baseline to the right 45-degree angle, and caught the ball to meet the big Q to make up for the three-point shot!

This fit is too familiar to Gentry!

He dreamed that the alliance would return to that era, the era of offense!

The run-and-bomb style that disappeared in the league for many years!

When it came to the Clippers' offense, Juwan Howard prevented Odom from breaking through, and the defense was not as good as Nowitzki, who was at least strong enough.

Odom burst inside, Europe stepped out, shook off Nowitzki, who was covering the defense, and went around Nowitzki's back for a layup.

Seeing little O'Neal open his hand and pout, Odom laughed loudly: "Haha, next time pass you a dunk!" ”

The clay man is also angry, not to mention the Silver Horn King.

When it came to the Mavericks offense, Nowitzki moved more aggressively.

All four of his team-mates can pass the ball, and he will receive the ball whenever he has the chance.

Other people thought the same, the old Nelson did not correct the problem of running at the beginning, changed the style of play, changed the lineup, and the problem was solved.

Nash blocks and breaks through, is fast, has excellent vision, splits the ball when he encounters a supplementary defense, and throws at mid-to-long distance if he doesn't.

His 52% terrifying long-range two-point shooting rate, 48% mid-range shooting rate, and 40.6% three-point shooting rate are maximized in this style of play!

The Clippers' defense had to go up, and with O'Neal Jr. crouching under the rim and covering the frame from close range, the Mavericks had plenty of mid-range shooting opportunities on the wing.

Finley, Juvan-Howard, and Nowitzki are very good at shooting in this area, and tonight they have a good hand, and their offense is soaring!

The Clippers also played well offensively, Odom broke through the offensive frame and connected with O'Neal Jr., forcing the Mavericks to shrink their defense, and Li Ao, Matt Harprin, and Big Q also had more mid-to-long-range opportunities.

But when it comes to the mid-to-long-range firepower outside brothers, compared with the Mavericks' frontcourt brothers, there is a gap......

When the official timeout reached the first quarter, the Mavericks tied the score 20-20 and returned the Clippers with a wave of 12-8!

Entering the official timeout, Gentry's first reaction was to step up the defense.

Played half a season of defense, formed an instinct.

But he didn't make a hasty decision, and after discussing it with Larry LaRue, he felt that it was a bit choking to strengthen the defense.

Even the Magic, Heat, and Kings defensive powerhouses, after they were really blown up by the opponent, the defensive effect was not good.

If you want to limit your opponent with an iron-clad defense, you have to do it from the start.

Gentry was very annoyed, this time the response was too slow, he should have directly hedged one or four small after the opponent played two rounds of running, and put Matt Harprin and Li Ao on the front line, and the guard line also sent two strong ones to fight hand-to-hand combat......

Gentry woke up suddenly, why did he become more and more like the person he hated the most?

He quickly shook his head, put aside the thought of regret, and looked in front of him.

Now it's certain that the opponent won't suddenly change his style of play, even if the opponent is a mad scientist.

The opposite side has suddenly adjusted once, and if it changes again, the players will go crazy, and there is no need to change it if they play so well.

So the offensive efficiency on their side is guaranteed...... Attack......

Gentry's fuse, which was more difficult to ignite, he sprinkled himself with gunpowder......

…

The official timeout ended, and the players of both teams returned to the field.

Nelson Sr. smiled as he looked at the lineup of Brevine Knight, Li Ao, Margety, Matt Harprin and Odom opposite.

As Gentry expected, he didn't change his play, and he didn't even make any substitutions!

It's been a long time since I've played a game like this, so he's going to have a good time!

The game continued, and the Clippers attacked.

Blevin Knight easily burst inside against Howard Ellis' defense and came to the baseline on the right side.

After attracting Nowitzki to move position, Blevin Knight splits the ball!

Li Ao took advantage of Matt Harprin's block to cut in and receive the ball, and jumped ...... to Juwan Howard...... Ride your legs on Juwan Howard's waist and smash the ball into the frame!

Violent! Murderous!

Wang Zhizhi, who was on the sidelines, saw Li Ao, who originally played in a running position, suddenly turned into a beast and wreaked havoc under the basket, and his eyes widened.

It's not the first time that he has been buttoned or hated by Spider-Man, and Juwan Howard was annoyed for a moment and put his anger on the offensive end.

Nash blocked and broke through, and the ball went past Howard Ellis's hand on the baseline and into Juwan Howard's hand.

Juwan Howard made a two-point shot from the left side of the free throw line...... Hit!

The two sides are racing again!

When the opponent's outside defense ability is poor, the wing coordination ability is insufficient, and the basket defense ability is not good, Breven Knight is even more effective than Nash.

Because of his speed, he is 178 centimeters tall, and he only fights for speed, and only the flying squirrel, Iverson, and Boykins in the league can be one point faster than him.

Paired with Odom's baseline response and strategy, Margety's cut-in frame, Matt Harpley's flank screen and catch-and-shoot shot, and Ao's running response and response...... The Clippers' offensive firepower soars!

On the Mavericks' side, the offensive firepower continued, and the offense launched by Nash and Juwan Howard's blocking and pick-and-roll was quite fierce, although Nash's breakthrough was not as fast as Breven Knight's, but his performance in the face of Li Ao and Matt Harprin's forward defensive combination was not weaker than that of Breven Knight's 'abuse', which was quite amazing.

In the second half of the first quarter, the two teams played a half-quarter score of 18-18.

38-38, the two teams played a terrifying single quarter score and entered the second quarter!

Nowitzki had seven points, Finley had 11 points, and Juwan Howard had eight points, and the Mavericks' frontcourt trio combined for 26 points in a single quarter.

Li Ao scored 10 points in a single quarter, Odom scored 11 points, and the Clippers' top scorers inside and outside also scored 20+.

In the second quarter, the two sides entered the rotation stage, except for Nash and Breven Knight, other positions were adjusted one after another.

At this time, Nelson Sr. and Gentry both found a problem - there are not so many players who are good at playing run-and-shoot!

Bradley, O'Neal Jr., Courtney Alexander, Greg Smith, Mark Bryant, Chris Meme...... Most of the main players of the two teams rotated, and they couldn't play fast.

But the pace of the game has come to this point, and it is difficult to suppress it, and it may be cheaper for the opponent.

Old Nelson doesn't do this kind of loss-making business, and neither do his fans.

Keep on the offensive!

With a score of 32-28 in the second quarter, the Mavericks took a four-point lead at halftime, but the Clippers returned a 30-25 one-quarter score in the third quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, the score was 96-95, with the Clippers leading the Mavericks by one point.

Old Nelson found out that he had suffered a loss!

Suffered the loss of the lineup!

Nowitzki played the first quarter, with a three-minute break in the second, a two-minute break in the third, and a 31-minute run in the first three quarters!

Finley and Juvan Howard also played 30 minutes, while Nash played 34 minutes.

On the other side, although Blevin Knight and Odom played for a long time, Li Ao played 6 minutes in the second quarter and only 5 minutes in the third quarter after Li Ao played the first quarter!

The Clippers scored 18-12 in the second half of the third quarter, which was played by Li Ao, a new force!

There is such a big difference in playing time because the Clippers are younger!

Although both teams have several main rotations that are not suitable for playing fast, the Clippers have more people who can play fast, and the big Q, Margety, Odom, Matt Harprin on the front line, plus Kenyon Durin, who plays well at the top of the shooting guard position in such a game, creates a rest opportunity for Li Ao!

At the end of the quarter, Nelson Sr. was forced to choose to play positional warfare, and he really couldn't run.

Gentry didn't come hard, he sent a combination of Boykins, Li Ao, Margety, Matt Harplin, and O'Neal Jr., and also fell into positional battles.

The positional battle between the two teams at the end of the quarter is a chaotic battle.

After three quarters of rapid offense, he fell into a slow-paced positional battle and was directly chaotic.

At this time, Boykins, an expert in chaos, came into play.

Li Ao, who only played 23 minutes in the first three quarters, became Boikins' best receiving point.

O'Neal Jr., who also doesn't have much playing time, actively moves on the baseline to find opportunities to eat cakes, relying on Margety's cutting threat and Matt Haprin's running to contain it, O'Neal Jr. has a lot of opportunities.

On the Mavericks' side, Nowitzki, who scored 31 points in the third quarter, wilted under Matt Harplin's rough top defense in the final quarter.

played half a quarter, Nowitzki only scored 2 points on 1-of-4 shooting, and the old Nelson replaced Juwan Howard was not good.

The Mavericks could only rely on the mid-to-long-range singles of Nash and Finley.

At 9:31 in the final quarter, Nash took advantage of Juwan Howard's cover and hit a three-point shot from Matt Harprin to chase the score to 112-120.

The margin has narrowed to within 10 points, and with two and a half minutes to go, the Mavericks feel like there's still hope!

When the Clippers attacked, Li Ao received the ball in the high post, and Finley, who was inspired by Nash's three-point drive, stuck very tightly, and the rest of the Mavericks actively walked around and did not give Li Ao a chance to pass.

Li Ao leaned sideways against Finley and grabbed the ball with one hand to avoid being broken.

Seeing this, the teammates began to move around the position of Spider-Man's back.

Li Ao continued to turn around, leaned his back against Finley, and violently knocked Finley back, rolled over, and jumped......

Finley tried to pounce, but his leg went limp, and he was exhausted.

Looking at Li Ao's eight-point similar turning action to his idol, he just watched blankly.

'High Master Level 1' is triggered, and Li Ao's bounce +2 is temporarily increased to 88, and mid-pitch +2 is temporarily increased to the top level of 90.

Li Ao's back in the top corner of the right free throw line hit a turnover jumper!

122 to 112, the margin is in double digits again!

Li Ao's goal crushed the opponent's belief in turning the tables!
