Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 44 Life is full of surprises!

On the field, the Mavericks changed their defensive tactics and began to let go of the defense of Ben Wallace and Bowen, attacking Kobe and Billups.

What about O'Neill?
Don't ask, just ask.

Let O'Neal catch the ball, cut the ball when he catches the ball, if he can't catch the ball, create opportunities, and let O'Neal catch the ball.

Of course, the advance is not to let O'Neal get too close to the basket.

It's easy to score 2+1 for O'Neal that way.

The old Nelson has a long-term vision. For this Mavericks team with Nash + Nowitzki + Finley as the core, his expectations for the future are not low.

The core players of the Lakers are talented and unbelievably young. In the future, they may be like the Joe gang and dominate the entire era. Even if they can't reach Jordan's level, they will definitely be the championship team in the Western Theater.

When the Dallas Mavericks grow to a certain level, the Lakers, the team, will be one of the toughest opponents the Mavericks will have to overcome.

We can't stop O'Neal now, and we can't win the Lakers, but that doesn't mean we can't study this future strong enemy in advance.

With such a strong mentality, and suddenly found a flaw in the Lakers, why not make it hard?
The Mavericks under the old Nixon resolutely implement the tactics of "cutting sharks", "cutting books" and "cutting bobs". The name has not yet been confirmed.

However, this is not the point. The point is that O'Neill, Ben and Bowen will undergo a brutal free throw test.

Ordinary people can't understand this cruel test. It's like the parents of college students who are doing math test papers for primary school children. If they can't understand such a simple question, how can their children be so stupid?

How can I get it wrong?
I want to...

Others would not have thought that O'Neal or Big Ben, who were standing at the free throw line at this time, had a little mental breakdown.

If it's not for money, go to his basketball dream!
Boom-!
Boom-!
The more anxious the mentality, the bigger the sweat on the forehead, and the lower the free throw percentage.

Daben no longer wants to catch the ball, even if he grabs a rebound from the basket, he still wants to quickly throw the hot mountain yu out of his hands.

O'Neal wants to catch the ball, speed up the offensive rhythm, use all his strength to blow up the basket, and show his strength.

It's just that it doesn't work. The Sharks are powerful. They have already realized that no matter how strong O'Neal is, it will make the Mavericks' foul tactics more resolute.

The old Nelson on the sidelines was very refreshing. After the foul just now, the Mavericks, who got the ball, scored a three-pointer from Nash. The point difference between the two sides is not far behind.

This is not the point, the point is that the X-cut tactics are really effective against this powerful Lakers team.

After the first quarter, the score was 28 to 31. The Mavericks lost first and then won, unexpectedly gaining a 3-point lead.

The home fans were very happy, they smelled upset.

No matter how strong the Lakers are, they are not without weaknesses!
看看罚球数据，奥尼尔11罚中4，大本6中1，鲍文2中1。

A total of 9 offensive opportunities, the Lakers made 19 of 6 free throws and only scored a poor 6 points.

小牛队丢给湖人队6分，捡来的9次球权，却换来了三分球5中3和两分球4中3的命中，一共拿到了15分。

Putting such shocking data in front of Li Mu, the head coach of the Lakers was scared out of his wits?
Why is there no movement on your face?
Suddenly Li Mu smiled strangely, "Life is full of surprises, who would have thought that the Lakers would fall behind the Mavericks at the bottom.

It's just that old Nixon's 'shark hacking tactic' is so easy to use?Don't need to pay a price?

Their shark-cutting business seems to be very amateurish! "

Not very amateurish, but very amateurish.

Bradley has already picked up 4 fouls.

Dirk Nowitzki 3 times.

Finley 2 times.

Li Mu didn't expect Old Nelson to be so fierce.

Would you think of using the main players to execute the shark-slashing tactics?
In other words, shouldn't role players be used?
The kind that sits at the water cooler.

……

In the second quarter, Li Mu did not give the Mavericks the opportunity to practice the shark-killing tactics.

Although the strength of the Mavericks can't threaten the Lakers, when Nelson was coaching the Warriors, Popovich was Nelson's assistant coach.

The relationship between the two is unusual.

If Popovich has learned the shark-slashing tactics now, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Lakers.

After all, it's just a small experiment by the 'mad scientist', and O'Neill hasn't won everything, is unstoppable, and isn't that hard against.

If the lunatic Popovich learns to keep chasing O'Neal, it will become difficult for the Lakers to win.

In other words, don't the Mavericks like to shoot, so let's compare shots to see who is stronger?
With a wave of his hand, Li Mu sent Harper, Curry, Lewis, Horry, Brad Miller.

Old Nelson was overjoyed when he saw it. The head coach of the Lakers, Li Mu, was stumped by his brilliant shark-slashing tactic.

Don't dare to let the starters play?

He ignored Harper, the quasi-All-Star old point guard.

Also ignore, Curry, the top shooter, was once a super sixth man.

Even ignore Horry, the big-hearted shooter who once stayed in the starting lineup.

Eyes fell more on rookie Lewis and undrafted Brad Miller.

After a wave of analysis, the Lakers' flaws are inside, without O'Neal, without Ben, and even Campbell was traded away.

The Mavericks' inside bench seems to be better than the Lakers'.

He allowed Finley and Ceballos to continue to lead the team's offense, and replaced him with AC Green, who played nearly 1000 consecutive games and was known as the 'Iron Man'.

The 96th pick of the 9 golden generation was replaced again, Samaki Walker.

At the point guard, Ronald Pike was replaced. He averaged 16 points and 5 assists per game. Together with Nash, he evenly split the position of the Mavericks' starting point guard.

When the second quarter started, Brad Miller pulled out the flanks to help Curry get rid of it. After receiving a pass from Harper, Curry hit a precise three-pointer to tie the score.

Old Nelson is very calm, knowing the outside line of the Lakers, some strength.

This kind of goal is possible.

Soon after, the 98-year rookie group connected. After Brad Miller covered, he received a pass from Harper and suddenly dribbled the ball to the inside to break through.

After taking a step to attract the defense, Brad Miller scored the ball to the left, and Lewis caught the ball and made a three-pointer...

Swish-!
After scoring two three-pointers, Old Nelson had a serious face, and he only thought that the Lakers' feeling was better for a while.

Next, Harper's breakthrough layup and Horry's three-pointer made the Lakers' three-pointer rain continue, and the old Nelson felt a headache.

Suddenly, he felt that his Nash and Nowitzki were not so fragrant.

The talent in the Lakers lineup is too strong, and there are still young players, Billups, Kobe, Big Ben, Lewis and other players. If their talents are realized, what will happen to their Mavericks?

The second quarter lasted for more than 4 minutes. The Lakers shot well and rained three-pointers from the outside.

42 to 36! !
