As Ke Yan expected, after the main singles players left the field, the Mavericks' chaotic scorers on the bench had some difficulty supporting Avery Johnson's simple and rough singles tactics when facing the relatively complete defensive system of the Eagles.

This is not difficult to understand. There has never been a team in history that has won the championship entirely by singles on the offensive end.

Many people see that Phil Jackson must use bugs like "Jordan" and "O'Neal" to win the championship, and they simply understand "triangle offense" as "superstar singles", which is purely ball-blind understanding.The execution of the triangle offense requires supporting players to pay close attention to details on the offensive end. Players like Kukoc, Patterson, Cole, and Fisher, even a simple pass and catch, will have an obvious three-threat The purpose of the action is to contain the defender.Regardless of whether it is O'Neal or Jordan playing singles with the ball, role players need purposeful air cuts and running positions.

And these are relatively rare in the current Mavericks team. They rely more on misplaced singles after pick-and-rolls and Nowitzki's indiscriminate offense to score.

Joe Johnson restrained the Mavericks' more defensive resources on the offensive end. Gibson and Stevens hit three-pointers one after another, helping the Eagles to open the point difference to 10 points. Avery Johnson made timely adjustments and replaced Terry. Daniels.

The former Eagle King was not good at organization, but after all, he was "pressed" to play as the starting point guard for three seasons, and he was considered a player that the Mavericks could pass.His debut immediately improved the Mavericks' offensive situation where they were fighting each other. At least everyone can touch the ball!The competition between the two sides immediately entered a stalemate!

Sitting on more.

It can't be said to be luxurious, at least it is a more expensive lineup. The Mavericks' rotation can't beat the Eagles, which reflects the gap between Avery Johnson and Keyan.The main lineups of both sides returned in the second half, and the Mavericks still failed to gain an advantage. At halftime, the Mavericks trailed the Eagles by 54 points 62:8!

In the second quarter, Avery Johnson breathed a sigh of relief after the more difficult transition period passed.For him, winning Keyan is the most important; in the second half of the game, the Mavericks can shorten the rotation appropriately!

"Compared to the last time the two teams played against each other, the improvement of the Eagles is very obvious! It's not just that they have upgraded their main lineup. In fact, you can see their substitute players. After half a season of training, Gibson has improved significantly; Steve Vince has found his niche as well, and is a bigger threat from beyond the arc; plus Webber comes in. Millsap is good, but for a title contender, a veteran like Webb is more Have experience!" Zhang rationally analyzed.To put it simply, after half a season, the combat effectiveness of the Eagles has improved significantly, while the Mavericks seem to be less obvious.This is also an important reason why the Eagles can control the situation in turn compared to the first round of confrontation.

The 15-minute intermission passed quickly, and players from both sides returned to the field. Compared with the starting lineups in the first quarter, neither side made any adjustments.

The Mavericks took the lead in the attack, Nowitzki pulled out from the three-point line, Josh Howard received the ball from the flank, and looked for a chance to beat Battier.

In the first half of the game, Josh Howard's offensive efficiency against Battier was mediocre. However, at the beginning of the second half, Avery Johnson still played hard and gave him the main offensive position.

Battier's defensive strategy was the same as in the first half, sticking up to defend him and giving him a certain space to break through, but blocked the right side, allowing Howard to go left, and at the end of the road, Gane With one foot on the edge of the penalty area, he is ready to assist in the defense. Paul, who is not far away, retracts into the penalty area at any time, and directly fouls Dampier if necessary!

Howard was also unceremonious. Since Battier gave him the left, he pulled the ball to the left and rushed straight into the three-point line.

Battier followed him, trying to interfere with his movements, but Josh Howard was an All-Star player after all, suddenly made a sudden stop and shook Battier, followed by a low-handed dribble, and passed completely Battier, rushed past him.

"Blue Gourd Sword Fairy"

Garnett came up to help defend in time, Howard picked up the ball and made a gesture to throw it towards Dampier. He shook Garnett, and a clever European step shook Garnett, making a layup. (56:62)

Possession transition, Hawks offense, Paul dribbles half court, passes the ball to Diaw up high, then he comes to the corner, runs a screen with Battier in the opposite corner, Howard and Harris lack of switching With a tacit understanding, they both chased after Paul. Although Harris reacted quickly, he was still one position behind Battier.

Diaw passed the ball at the right time, Battier caught and shot, and the basketball went into the net with precision. (56:64)

Looking back, the Mavericks still use Howard to single Battier. After he went left and entered the three-point line, he made a mid-range emergency stop jumper. (58:64)

Howard succeeded in consecutive singles, not only helping the Mavericks to bite the score, but also allowing Nowitzki to get a rest time to ensure physical strength to continue the team's offensive firepower!

Ke Yan came to the sidelines and yelled a few words, the content is not important, the point is that the players understood what he meant and knew to pay attention to Howard's offense!

The defensive end did not put enough pressure on the Mavericks, and Garnett made some gains on the offensive end.After Paul's pick-and-roll, he hit big and missed a mid-range shot. Garnett grabbed an offensive rebound and forced the ball into the basket against Dampier's defense, causing Dampier to foul!

"Eon!" Garnett roared angrily, venting his emotions!

In the past few years, although Garnett's reputation is better than that of Nowitzki, it is an indisputable fact that the record of the Timberwolves is not as good as that of the Mavericks.In the 11 years of the Timberwolves, the team has reached the playoffs for 7 consecutive seasons. The best result was once reached the Western Conference Finals, but most of the time it was a round trip; In the second round, last season broke through the 7-year blockade of the Lakers and Spurs against the Western Conference champions, and reached the finals all the way!

This season is the first time that Garnett can compete with Nowitzki in "leading ability" under relatively fair circumstances.

In the next few rounds, the two teams came and went.Under the control of Nowitzki, Josh Howard and Terry carried the banner of the team's offense, while the Eagles focused on the high pick-and-rolls of Paul and Garnett. The increasingly tacit cooperation with Garnett can easily help Garnett complete the scoring before Dampier is in place; and if the Mavericks switch defenses, whether it is Paul's excellent ability to hit the basket or Garnett's ability to hit the basket, there is no doubt. .

Dampier has no way to defend against the small, and the Mavericks have the "flyweight" insider Mickey Moore traded from the Eagles.But after thinking about it, Avery Johnson did not choose to replace him.No way, Nowitzki is an insider who is stronger offensively than defensively. If he is paired with Mickey Moore, who will resist Garnett?Garnett is not known for his low-post strong play, but if you only use Mickey Moore to defend him, then you really look down on him!

With the decline of Josh Howard's touch, the Mavericks' offensive focus returned to Nowitzki.But at this time, Ke Yan suddenly changed his lineup, replacing Dior with Hassel, and Battier to defend Nowitzki!

In the playoffs last season, the Rockets used Tracy McGrady to defend Nowitzki and achieved a very good defensive effect; while in the series between the Mavericks and the Warriors, Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington strangled Novitzki. The main hero of Nowitzki, Old Nelson, took advantage of Nowitzki's slow pace, unstable foot, and average back ability, and prevented the MVP of the season!

Compared with McGrady and Stephen Jackson, Battier's "strength attribute" is slightly weaker, but he also has his own advantages. Battier has less responsibility on the offensive end and only needs to act as a fixed-point fortress!In this kind of tactical thinking, he can spend 90% or even 95% of his energy on consuming Nowitzki!

Battier's main defense, Garnett's help defense, Dampier fouled directly when he received the ball in a dangerous position, and sent him to the free throw line. Ke Yan's defensive strategy effectively disrupted the Mavericks' offense, especially Nowitzki. , It was supposed to be a stage of scoring, but failed to play the demeanor of a quasi-MVP!

Considering that this is a live broadcast game across the United States, and the opponent is Garnett, who is ranked second on the MVP list, with such a performance, it is quite a loss for Nowitzki!

Against the wind, Avery Johnson decisively called a timeout. He is a coach who is very good at finding problems, but also a coach who is not good at solving them.There is only one system in hand, and there is no plan B.This is also the reason why he basically disappeared from everyone later.

The Eagles established a lead in the second half of the third quarter. At the end of the third quarter, the score has reached 82:96. The Eagles lead away by 14 points!

Amidst the cheers of the fans, the fourth quarter began.

Avery Johnson sent a lineup led by Nowitzki and Terry, intending to use Ke Yan's "blitzkrieg" to close the score and have a strong dialogue. Full fourth quarter.

From a mentality point of view, he really regarded this game as a playoff game!

In contrast, Ke Yan is a bit "hands-on". He still uses the lineup of Joe Johnson + Diaw to bring role players to deal with the Mavericks.

"It's hard to imagine that I'm the more conservative one in the game!" Ke Yan laughed at himself when players from both sides came on the stage.

"Because we are now in an advantageous situation!" Hamblen said, "The key depends on whether Joe Johnson can hold on!"

"Eagle possession, Joe Johnson and Milicic pick and roll, but Daniels goes around the screen, stays tight! Joe Johnson tries to dribble away, but Daniels doesn't, Joe Johnson pulls— - Hit!" In Yang Jian's high voice, Qiao Johnson did not disappoint Ke Yan, and made an accurate hit in the first attack.

Another problem in the Mavericks lineup is that only Josh Howard can provide above-level defense among their perimeter players. If the opponent's perimeter firepower is fierce, this team that only pursues "offensive and defensive balance" will not be able to sustain it.

Last season's playoffs were beaten by Tracy McGrady and Nash, and Kobe Bryant scored 63 points in three quarters in the regular season, which all explained this problem. After Josh Howard left the field, no one on the outside of the Mavericks could match Joe Johnson!
