The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

From 75.6% in the first quarter to 47.5% in the second quarter, the Mavericks' shooting percentage dropped by nearly 30%. They only scored 45 points in this quarter, less than half of the first quarter.

As for the performance of the players, Dirk still scored 8 points steadily, of which 6 points came from the free throw line. At the end of the half, Dirk has scored 14 free throws and made 12 of them. Stable and efficient; compared to Dirk, the decline of others is the main reason. Except for Peja who missed two shots from the three-point line, Terry only scored 4 points on 1 of 2 shots, and Marion scored 5 points on 2 of 4 shots. , Kidd only took one shot, failed to hit, and scored zero in a single quarter.

If you change to another game, such a big gap between the first quarter and the second quarter will definitely attract attention, and both the outside world and the Mavericks themselves will definitely analyze the problems.

However, in this game, such a decline was directly concealed by the show effect of the Knicks!

No way, let’s forget about Ewing Jr. in the first quarter. The Wannian water dispenser is also average, but Beverly, the toughest defender at the first position that many people are optimistic about in the future, did something similar to Ewing Jr. !

This is too much.

After this quarter, the Mavericks fans burst into laughter, the Knicks fans burst into depression, and the commentator was convinced. All the limelight was taken away. As for the drop in shooting percentage and the big gap between the two quarters, there was no attention at all. .

Even the Mavericks players who returned to the locker room teased the Knicks two crouching dragons and phoenixes one after another during the chat, accompanied by laughter from time to time.

Terry: "Not to mention, the Knicks are too messed up. They really sent these two to defend, which is unlucky enough."

Marion: "You know, I was a little worried when Beverly came up, but in the end... please, I must continue to use him in the second half."

Chandler: "Ha ha ha, man, this may be a bit difficult, after all, the guy has fouled 4 times, and there is not much time left for him."

Stephenson: "Before the game, they told me how strong the Knicks are. My grandma even called me and asked me to play hard. But now it seems that they are like this. We can win!"

Marion "Ohohoho, tell your grandma, you'll take the trophy home, as long as you don't stew in it."

"Hahahahahaha~!

! ”

...

The Mavericks players crazily teased the Knicks in the locker room. The atmosphere was relaxed and joyful. After all, they went very smoothly in the first half overall. The score was leading and the scene was exciting. Helping role players is obviously more reliable than the dizzy bench next door.

As for the drop in shooting percentage... Isn’t the half-court shooting percentage still above 55%? There is nothing to worry about in this shooting percentage. No one really thinks that a team can play a game with a 70% shooting percentage. Novel dare not write like this!

As for scoring low...our low next door isn't lower, so nothing to worry about!

Uh... It sounds like that. After all, what they think is the truth, so I don't blame them for opening champagne at halftime.

Only Nowitzki and Kidd did not participate in the topic of teammates. Dirk had such a personality, while the old Kidd vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Ewing Jr., Beverly...

Although one of these two is a third-year show and the other is a second-year show, they really don't have much playing time in the playoffs, and they really don't have much experience, but are they really fools?

What's more, even if they were hotheaded and couldn't control their movements on the court, but Zuo Li was on the side, how could he allow these two people to mess around like this?

No matter how you think about it, it's unreasonable...

However, no problem can be seen from the performance and statistics on the field. Dirk did benefit from the two mindless fouls. The 14 free throws in the halftime speaks for itself. For a player like Nowitzki, he can Solving the problem at the free throw line is of course the best.

For opponents, it is very stupid to let Nowitzki go to the free throw line continuously. After all, Dirk is not fat. One piece is still steel, there will never be any team stupid enough to use foul tactics against Dirk!

（尼克斯：“......”）

I can't figure it out, so I just don't want to!

Kidd decided to watch it in the second half, and then decide whether to remind Carlisle, and now he doesn't even know what to remind.

It is a pity that Kidd is the person closest to the correct answer so far. The Knicks are indeed disrupting the Mavericks' rhythm by sending Nowitzki to the free throw line.

"Take a risk, be bold, and you might be able to fight." This was the German coach's first reaction when he heard Zuo Li's suggestion.

Nowitzki is so accurate, other teams are trying their best to lock him up, no one will give him points.

However, Zuo Li too understands that this Mavericks team is the scariest and most dangerous thing for other people to show off together. At that time, no matter how good the Knicks' defense is, they will not be able to withstand the explosion of a group of people.

Just like the Heat, do you think they didn't defend Dirk Nowitzki enough?But how about it, the old driver who is driving is not afraid of you at all, and you put all your troops on the old driver, what do you use to defend others.

Therefore, Zuo Li is going to do the opposite. Anyway, you want to score, so you get it, as long as your teammates don't score!

Facts have proved that Zuo Li's bold method still has some effect. Of course, there is also a problem, that is, because his side is too focused on defense, the score is not high.

But it doesn't matter, the Knicks' goal has been achieved, and the second half is the real battle!

"Come on guys, show them the real us!"

After saying this, Zuo Li led his teammates to start the second half. Curry, Keliu, Randolph and Danny Green were entrusted with important tasks.

And next door, Carlisle also directly replaced the combination of four starters Gartri, the super sixth man.

"Heh! The opening is a decisive battle." Director Zhang said.

"Yeah, I hope the Knicks don't make a mistake here." Yu Jia said.

At the beginning, the Mavericks serve, Kidd attracts the defense to score the ball, Terry corners, catches the ball without defense!

"Okay...~!"

"boom!"

The shouts of the Mavericks fans were blocked in their throats. Terry's ball directly smashed across the bridge. Zuo Li easily received the rebound, dribbled the ball away from the defense, and scored 2 points in a one-stop layup.

The point difference came to 4 points.

"It's okay, keep it steady, play slowly, and hit the success rate." Carlisle applauded, and then motioned Nowitzki to block with Kidd.

The pick-and-roll was successfully completed, but Zuo Li directly blocked Nowitzki's way down, and old Kidd made a decisive decision to make a shot himself.

boom!

Strike the iron again!

Randolph received the rebound and handed it to Curry. The Knicks played 3-on-2 in the frontcourt of the third-line fast break.

Only 2 points left!

"It's over, we won't be tricked!" Carlisle's heart skipped a beat.
