Chapter 229: Set up a stage for your teammates and change your defense

Doon Finals G1 took the lead in the first quarter and scored 24 points.

It was quite a shock to everyone who watched this game.

However, Doon is not superman, he played so fiercely in the first quarter, and played a full 12 minutes, and continued to play at the beginning of the second quarter, after all, because of his physical strength, he was a little weak, and it was impossible to be efficient all the time.

After more than three minutes in the second quarter, Doon was a little out of breath under the constant wrapping of the Mavericks' outside line.

If it weren't for the intervals when he added a lot of water and slowed down for a while, Doon's offensive efficiency at this time would have dropped a lot.

The Mavericks also saw that there were some problems with Doon's physical condition, so they took the initiative to hit Doon on the offensive end, further consuming Doon's physical strength.

Of course, the Mavericks may not really play Doon's defensive gate, but first play a wave of consumption.

As it happens, Stackhouse is a substitute player who doesn't need to worry about physical issues and has a good back-to-back ability.

It was with the help of Doondoon's consumption that the Mavericks forced Doon to rest early, and then regained control of the game.

However, the Bulls are a 73-win team after all, and recently won the Eastern Conference championship.

Previously, when Doon was out of the game, the Bulls were able to play on par with other teams in the East, and sometimes even had the upper hand.

And tonight, before the break, Doon had already played a nearly double-digit advantage.

Bulls players are the best at playing tailwind, and even if Doon is out of the court, he won't be defeated by the Mavericks in three or two hits.

In addition, because of the inertia of Doane dropping the towel in the first quarter, the Bulls players on the court played more seriously and focused on the defensive end, and the performance of the Bulls on the defensive end tonight was actually quite good.

In the first quarter, the Mavericks were able to score 29 points, mainly because they started to play well, and the defensive attitude of the Bulls was a little loose.

By the time Doon finished dropping the towel, the Bulls' defensive quality quickly improved.

So, by the time Doon returned to the court at more than eight minutes into the second quarter, the Bulls still maintained a seven-point lead.

After Doon came up, the Mavericks continued to pay attention to Doon, and Doon saw that his teammates were in good shape, so he deliberately used as a bait to attract the Mavericks' outside players to come over and wrap up.

After Ben Gordon received Doon's pass, he directly hit a three-pointer and helped the Bulls extend the margin to 10 points.

And this is also the first time in this game that there is a double-digit point difference.

"Well done! I'll pass the ball to you next time. ”

On the way back, Doon encouraged Ben Gordon.

Obviously, Ben Gordon, who came off the bench in the second quarter, played very well as the sixth man, and he was feeling hot at this time.

Considering that Doon carried alone in the first quarter, he was too tired to play like that all the time, and I was afraid that he didn't have the strength to play the key ball in the fourth quarter.

Therefore, Doon is not ready to play the main attack after returning to the game.

Now that Ben Gordon is capable of scoring, Dwan, as the boss of the Bulls, is willing to set up a stage for him to show his talents.

"No problem, I'm confident I can put the ball in the basket."

Ben Gordon has already scored a double-double, and he feels pretty good, so he's naturally confident at the moment.

Since Doon's conversation with Ben Gordon was not hidden from the Mavericks' players, the Mavericks players who heard the conversation between Doon and Ben Gordon were also attentive to this.

We all know that Du has gravity, and the players who play next to Du are able to get a more comfortable offensive space and play better in the game.

At this time, I happened to meet Ben Gordon, who was in hot form.

So for the Mavericks' players, in the last few minutes of the first half, to avoid the game being spent, it is necessary to limit not only Doane, but also Ben Gordon.

However, the Mavericks have limited resources for outside defense. It also means that if you want to limit both Doon and Ben Gordon scoring, you will have to put more energy into the defensive end.

However, it didn't take long for the bull to step up again.

Andres Nocioni also hit a three-pointer with an assist from Doon.

Avery Johnson scratched his head helplessly, and then called a timeout to readjust the lineup, hoping to affect the feel of Ben Gordon and Andres Nocioni.

One thing to say, the Mavericks' outside players are not working hard, and their defensive attitudes are full.

But the current situation is that Doon is too much of a threat to the Mavericks with the ball.

With 24 points in the first quarter and six points in the second quarter, the Mavericks didn't dare to let their guard down when defending Doon, even if it was just a second of distraction.

But every time Doon gets the ball, the Bulls' two biggest bench gangsters, Ben Gordon and Andres Nocioni, are bound to leak one.

Both are pitchers and can shoot three-pointers, which is undoubtedly for the Mavericks to make multiple choices.

The Mavericks, considering that Doon is too tall on the perimeter, has a big advantage in terms of projection.

If the Mavericks pack Doon, then the shooting impact that can be had on Doon is actually very small.

At the same time, considering that Ben Gordon just used Doon to attract defense not long ago, he caught the ball and shot a three-pointer, which was not bad.

So, there's nothing wrong with Petri defending Ben Gordon and letting Andres Nocioni go short.

The problem was that the Bulls' outside shooters came hand after hand, with Ben Gordon just throwing one in and Andres Nocioni following suit.

At this time, if you don't call a timeout, just send people to defend Andres Nocioni, maybe Doon will start shooting from the outside because of the Mavericks' defense.

Avery Johnson, the junior general, did not dare to gamble, so he could only call a timeout to make some meaningless adjustments.

Fortunately, there is also a silver fox Harris with rich coaching experience in the team.

"We can temporarily have Dirk play the No. 5 position and limit the opponent's outside shots with more forward players."

As the head coach of the Silver Fox, Harris may not be so quick to react on the spot, but as an assistant coach, he can often give a lot of constructive suggestions on the spot.

The Mavericks can play fast break and run and shoot, and Nowitzki didn't make a temporary cameo appearance at the No. 5 spot last season.

Now that the Mavericks are defending the Bulls, it is obvious that the size and defensive personnel of the outside line are insufficient, so it is better to have more small forwards and concentrate defensive resources on the outside.

"Del, I agree with you."

The little general Avery Johnson used the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and he could only try to fight one big and four small.

However, Nowitzki is at the top five, and there is no one on the Mavericks' inside.

And Doon not only has the ability to attack on the outside, but also on the inside, which is quite good.
