The invincible kryptonite of basketball

But now with the Butterfly Walk in hand, it's like having hundreds of dollars in your pocket, and your self-confidence and spirit are different.

Walker held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. After giving the ball to Tang Tian, ​​he then signaled to both sides to open for Tang Tian's singles.

Holiday, who defended Tang Tian, ​​was a former teammate and the strongest player on the Pelicans defense.

Tang Tian glanced at Holledi.

Sorry, Zhu.

A change of direction to the right, followed by a large pull to the left.

The biggest difference from the low body dribble before is that Tang Tian doesn't have to deliberately lower his center of gravity.

Because he can feel that even if he is standing upright, the ball can be firmly controlled by him.

Holiday's center of gravity was clearly mobilized.

This is change.

Big men who can dribble are very popular in the NBA, such as Webber and Tracy McGrady in the past, and Griffin and Durant are the most representative of current players.

Both of them are difficult to defend in singles with the ball. In addition to their own offensive threats, they are tall and have a very large range of direction changes when they break through.

Ordinary people dare not attack easily, and if they lose their defensive position, they can only be let down.

But it is also easy to lose the defensive position if you don't make a move, because the opponent changes direction drastically, and if you don't keep up, the breakthrough is only a matter of one shot.

So Huo Ledi could only adjust his body center of gravity to follow Tang Tian's rhythm.

At this moment, Tang Tian made a movement to collect the ball.

Huo Ledi jumped out when he saw it. As Tang Tian's former teammate, he knew how accurate Tang Tian's shots were.

But at the moment when he threw himself out, Tang Tian suddenly made a quick low-body cross step and made a breakthrough on the right, completely passing him!

There was an uproar at the scene.

This is simply amazing for the rhythm and control of the ball.

Even though they knew that Tang Tian was very strong, it was unimaginable for such a move to be done by a 2 meter tall man.

After Tang Tian passed Holiday, he went straight to the basket, and Embiid came out with help.

The two met half a step away.

But at this moment, Tang Tian suddenly slowed down and accelerated again, and a close body changed direction, directly passing Embiid!

This time, even the players on and off the field were dumbfounded.

This shit... it's fake!

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, Tang Tian even passed Holiday and Embiid, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

Really couldn't be more true.

There was a commotion at the scene, and the Pelicans bench was boiling.

Stevens was even more smiling.

He didn't know how Tang Tian had such strong ball-handling skills.

The only explanation is that after being targeted by the Warriors and Cavaliers last season, he practiced this skill hard during the offseason.

In fact, Tang Tian was indeed doing this, and there were similar news reports during the offseason.

Because the Pelicans didn't want Tang Tian to play singles before, it was reasonable to not come out until now.

It's just that this is really a surprise for him, the Pelicans, and even Pelicans fans!

Chapter 88 Don... Don Owen?

But compared to other people, Carlisle has the most complicated expression at the moment.

Embiid interacted with fans on Twitter before, saying that the Mavericks have defensive tactics against Tang Tian.

Indeed there are.

And it's a good guess too.

Tang Tian's targeted defense of the Warriors and Cavaliers last season was very successful.

Those are all ready-made methods out there, so there is no need to use them in vain.

So before the game, or in the past three days, the Mavericks have been training this defensive method against Tang Tian.

Carlisle's ability in tactics is very outstanding, and this kind of targeting is very simple and normal for him.

But the most tragic thing in the world is that you have worked hard to prepare a game, but in the end you find that you have no chance to use it!

Tang Tian's enhanced ball control is aimed at a fart!

Then follow the defense of the Warriors and Cavaliers last season, it is simply a gift.

So his mood at the moment is really a bit complicated.

Moreover, Tang Tian's singles tactics this season are different from those in the past few seasons.

The Mavericks dared to double-team at most, but never dared to double-team with three or more.

Walker, Davis and Butler, putting any of them is also a bonus.

It's even possible, and I don't dare to double-team.

As a conscientious and conscientious head coach, Carlisle watched all the Pelicans game tapes before the game.

This also includes the two games between the Pelicans and the Bucks.

Kidd tried to use a partial double-team against the Pelicans at the time. As a result, Dedmon was fed and vomited in that game and scored 16 points in the half.

If the Mavericks want to double-team, the only ones to let go are Dedmon or Siakam.

It is very likely that the two of them will eat cakes tonight until they vomit.

With the tactical cooperation of the Mavericks' frontcourt, Holiday ran out of opportunities, but Butler's speed in assisting defense was very fast and did not give opportunities.

Holiday gave the ball back to Conley's organization.

Conley repeated his old tricks and split the ball with Embiid after a pick-and-roll.

"Snapped!"

But as soon as he passed the ball, Butler predicted it and broke the ball!

With one offense and one defense, the Pelicans gradually took the initiative on the court.

Tang Tian held the ball again in the frontcourt.

There was a commotion at the scene.

At this time, Carlisle has no good way to deal with it other than letting Holiday focus on defense.

Compared with tactics and strategy, he did not lose to Stevens.

But only compared to the stars, the Mavericks don't have Tang Tian!

Holding the ball again, Tang Tian looked at Holiday's more focused eyes, and also showed more focused eyes.

Holiday is a former teammate, but also an opponent. The best respect for him is to show a stronger offensive performance than before!

The teammates opened up all the space, and Tang Tian continuously changed directions in front of his body and under his crotch, as if the ball was stuck to his hands.

The scene was restless.

This is no longer Tang Tian, ​​this is clearly Tang Owen!

It is very interesting to say that when Tang Tian dribbled with a low body, he joked that "in this league, Walker's dribble is most like me."

After tonight, he is afraid to say, "In this league, Irving's dribbling is the most like me"!

Huo Ledi took a step back and let Tang Tian take a step to protect his defensive position.

After Tang Tian saw the ball was received, he immediately stopped and pulled.

After he focused, his whole body was excited, and his movement frequency was very fast.

Even Holiday couldn't react.

"Shh!"

Tang Tian's Qianba was a steady hit!

He scored 4 points in a row and opened the point difference to 7 points!

The two teams have been at a stalemate since the beginning, and 7 points is already the biggest difference between the two sides!

Carlisle made a new offensive tactical gesture on the sidelines at this time.

It was impossible to defend against Tang Tian now, the only way to stalemate the situation was to rely on offense.

At least drag the game into the fourth quarter, when the Mavericks still have a chance.

"Come on! Mavericks!"

The DJ at the scene also noticed that the situation on the field was not right, and began to call on the fans to cheer for the home team.

Conley's frontcourt organization, this time he didn't let his off-ball teammates run tactics, but signaled Embiid to drop the ball low and then gave the ball in.

This is a five-position singles tactic.

In several matchups on the court, Embiid has an advantage over Dedmon.

This can be seen from the first ball in the opening game.

After Embiid received the ball, he played back singles. Dedmon was not at a disadvantage in confrontation, but he was at a disadvantage in footwork.

Embiid turned and shook him away continuously.

But at the moment Embiid was about to make a shot, Butler quickly recovered the basket and cut the ball.

The ball in Embiid's hand was almost broken, but he reacted quickly and threw the ball to the middle at the moment when the ball was about to be cut.

The Mavericks' five-position singles tactics are obviously not about one person playing four players. When Embiid played singles, Conley had already cut in from the middle.

However, although Embiid gave the ball, the angle he gave in a hurry was not good. Conley got the ball and stabilized it before controlling the ball.

He starts again for a layup, but Butler comes to his aid and jumps up as he jumps up for the shot, grabbing the ball with both hands in the air.

Conley is tough and catches the ball very well, but Butler puts a lot of pressure on him and he can no longer make a shot.

Two people with four hands fell to the ground together.

The referee blows his whistle to indicate that this is a scrimmage!

The small forward and the point guard are fighting for the ball, and most of the ball belongs to the Pelicans.

Butler has played excellent defense in a row!

In the first quarter, he was outstanding on the offensive end. In the second quarter, Tang Tian took over the offense, and he began to exert his strength on the defensive end!

Butler and Conley's jump ball, he took off early and put the ball into Walker's hands.

The two sides exchanged the ball, and the Mavericks' offense returned without success again.

Carlisle had a complicated expression at this moment.

If it weren't for Butler always wanting to be the boss and asking for the ball, the two would disagree and quarrel constantly.

A tough and capable player like Butler is something a head coach would want to have.

Walker got the ball, and the Pelicans played a defensive counterattack on the spot.

Tang Tian catches the ball and advances quickly, and in front of him is Embiid who is standing back.

He slapped the ball to the left with his left hand, and at the same time stepped forward with his right leg, switching to his right hand to control the ball, and then pulled the ball back suddenly with his right hand in the next second, turning his body upright.

There was an uproar at the scene.

Sam Gold!

Tang Tian used Sam Gold in his fast break.
