The world of basketball

Chapter 166

Barea, who is 36 years old, certainly doesn't have the speed, strength and explosiveness of seven years ago, but he can still serve as a team's commander on the bench, and it is more than enough.Fans who often watch Lone Ranger games can probably remember it.How Barea used his diminutive body to pull teams back from the brink of death time and time again.

Barea's contract had expired last year.But the team still signed another year, hoping that he can accompany the team through this difficult rebuilding period.

Dirk Nowitzki and Devin Harris also thought the same.

Devin Harris was the fifth pick in the first round in 2004 and was selected by the Lone Ranger.He averaged 5.7 points per game in his rookie season and 9.9 points in his sophomore year, but was traded to the Nets in 2007, which was the famous Haris Kidd trade.

It was that year that the Lone Ranger got one of the most important puzzles for his 11-year championship, and Devin Harris played his brightest moment with the Nets.

In 2008, when the UAE was still in the Nets, Harris averaged 21 points and 6.9 assists per game, making him the veritable leader of the Nets.

After that, Harris played in the Nets, Jazz and Eagles, and returned to the Lone Ranger in 13 years.

There is a very famous picture circulating in the rivers and lakes. There are many points on it, such as the connection between James and Curry, Irving's lore point, Kobe's lore point, Cousins, Rondo's guess point, and Bosh's shooting star point. Wait, wait, there is also a point called the Devon Harris point.

The origin of this point is that Reese hit the ball on the opponent back then, and then caught the ball in the air and made a super long three-pointer.

The meaning of this paragraph is.Devin Harris used to be a man of the hour, and even now he is an integral part of the Mavericks' second team.

Then came Nowitzki.Needless to say, Nowitzki has been the core and top card of the Lone Ranger since he was selected to the Lone Ranger.

Originally, last season was probably the season when the driver should retire, but unable to stand the persuasion of the boss Cuban, Nowitzki decided to take these young players to play for another year.

1998 seasons from 2020 to 22. During the 22 years, Nowitzki dedicated everything to this team.With the honors that accompany him and this team come doubts, mistakes, and redemptions.

At that time full of confrontation in the NBA, Nowitzki was always criticized for only shooting outside and not daring to fight inside, and was ridiculed as a soft guy.

Until 2011, this was a crucial year for Nowitzki, because during this year, Nowitzki led the team with a single core, reached the finals single-handedly, and won the championship.

After winning the finals most valuable player, all the doubts, all the jerk jokes disappeared, yes, the fans are such a group, when you can prove yourself, they will come from the heart respect you.

A year later, Nowitzki wrote his own legend.

In terms of historical status, Nowitzki is definitely the greatest international player in history, Yao Ming is of course great, but Yao Ming's season is too short, really too short, eight seasons are really too short for 22 seasons .

已经42岁的老司机油箱里还有油，这个赛季他场均还能得到9.8分和5.1个篮板球，投篮命中率能够达到48%。三分命中率能够达到40%。

Even when the game is at a critical moment, Nowitzki is also a player who enjoys unlimited firepower.

Barea, Nowitzki, Devin Harris and Powell formed the Lone Ranger's bench lineup, and the rest of the players probably didn't get many opportunities to play.

"CCTV, CCTV, welcome to the first round of the NBA playoffs between the Spurs and the Lone Ranger broadcast by CCTV. I am the host Yu Jia." Yu Jia said.

"Since Duncan and Nowitzki, the Spurs and Mavericks are like a pair of old enemies. They both belong to Texas and have experienced ups and downs. This time their new lineup, new core, meet again." Su Qun said.

"Mr. Su, which team do you think has a better chance of winning this round of the series? Or what characteristics should each of them play?" Yu Jia said.

"Both teams are very strong. The playoffs are different from the regular season. It is a team that really competes in physical strength and experience. I think the Spurs are still very strong with their new Twin Towers lineup. The new Twin Towers lineup I am talking about is It refers to a two-tower lineup that can drill inside and shoot outside, but does not rely too much on inside singles." Su Qun said.

"The Lone Ranger has more advantages in their experience and their system. In fact, the Lone Ranger's system is quite strong. The most important thing is that after Jordan developed a fixed-point three-pointer, he has become the number one center in the league. The players in the scope of discussion, now we can see things, especially the [-]th position. The inside combination of him and Dongcic is very strong, and Dongcic’s coping ability is very strong, but the defensive end is not at a disadvantage .”

The two sides jumped the ball, Mu Xiaobei overwhelmed Jordan and put the ball into Jeremy Lin's hands, winning the first wave of offensive possession for the Spurs.

Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball for halftime, Mu Xiaobei picked and rolled at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, and Jordan threw it out. Jeremy Lin followed Mu Xiaobei's pick and roll to get rid of Kemba Walker, and then accelerated to the basket. Jordan could only make up for it. Defense, this is already a very conventional tactic for the Spurs.

Jeremy Lin hit the ground and passed the ball to Mu Xiaobei, who was running down. However, Jordan's ability to help defend against the dominance of the inside defensive end is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary players. When Mu Xiaobei received the ball, Jordan Has turned around and used his long arm to interfere with Mu Xiaobei's shooting vision.

But Kuzma with the circling and top running tactics?Aldridge’s pick-and-roll has been used to block a gap, and Mu Xiaobei passed it to Kuzma. Kuzma made a fake shot and swayed Dennis Smith, and then dribbled the ball to the three-point line. Stop jump shot, the ball hollow into the net.

"Good shot Kuzma, Kuzma is really experienced and seasoned, and he handled the ball very calmly." Yu Jia said.

Kemba Walker dribbled the ball across half court, and the Lone Ranger also played pick-and-rolls with the ball, the pick-and-roll with the ball at the fifth position and the first position.Jordan mentioned that Kemba Walker made a pick-and-roll with the ball outside the top line of the three-point arc, and then Jordan made a cut outside, and Kemba Walker accelerated towards the basket.

Mu Xiaobei and Jeremy Lin formed a defensive switch. Kemba Walker did not pass the ball out to Jordan who was outside the three-point line. Instead, he took a step back against Mu Xiaobei, followed by a jumper. A step-back jumper scored.

"Strike Kemba Walker. This is what he needs to do in the Lone Ranger. Whether Dennis Smith or Doncic, both of them can attack with the ball, but they are not sharp knives in scoring, but Ken brought Walker to the Lone Ranger to do this kind of work." Yu Jia said.
