In the second quarter, the competition takes place in rotation.
Carlisle still operated as usual, sending Haywood, Nowitzki, Marion, Terry and Barea.
Nowitzki needs to participate in every offensive system.
On the Lakers side, because they spent a lot of money, the number of their bench lineup was a little short of 100 million points.
Bynum continues to play and take on more important responsibilities.
Odom, the first candidate for the best 6th man, appeared, and the others were Matt Buss, Shannon Brown and Blake.
The second quarter started with the Mavericks attacking the ball.
"Balia broke through with the ball, and Blake couldn't stop it, so he had to fight and retreat.
The Lakers' defense continued to shrink. Barea was not used to him. After attracting the attention of the defense, he distributed the ball to Nowitzki who retreated to the high post.
Catch the ball, jump up, shoot, and raise your hand to shoot a two-point jumper..."
Odom also didn't expand his defense, and he also held back.
It can only be said that the Lakers have not regarded the Mavericks' jump shots as alive. Even if they are leading, they still do not believe that the Mavericks' jump shots can kill the game.
Swish——!
With his hands up and down, Nowitzki's jump shot is full of natural damage. If given the opportunity, it will not fail, and he can easily score two points.
The point difference between the two sides widened to 4 points.
The offense and defense transitioned, the Lakers attacked, Blake brought the ball to the frontcourt, and lobbed the ball to Bynum to beat Haywood.
He can't bully Chandler, so Haywood should have it easy, right?
Peng——!
Bynum caught the ball and made a sudden collision, just like O'Neal's style of play, which is to use his body to be reckless.
It's a pity that Haywood can carry people and withstand Bynum's impact. At the same time, Nowitzki's help in defense also came over in time.
"The Mavericks also did their homework and played the same zone defense.
The Mavericks have made it clear that they want to block the penalty area and then compete with the Lakers for shots outside..."
Bynum didn't shoot, and now that there's no space, he can only choose to distribute the ball.
Odom caught the ball, raised his hand and took a two-point jump shot...
Nowitzki jumped out, but it was too late.
Swish——!
"Odom is the face of the Lakers bench. He took the first shot without any mercy and scored two points steadily..."
The difference between the two sides became 2 points.
The transition between offense and defense was still Barea's breakthrough.
"The biggest flaw of the Lakers is the point guard position, which cannot stop Barea's breakthrough.
The speed of 183 is not easy to keep up with.
Blake had no choice but to fight and retreat. At the same time, Shannon Brown came to help defend, and Barea seemed to predict the Lakers' moves and distributed the basketball..."
"I fight, I fight, I hide, I fight again..."
Of course, Barea and Terry, a pair of short backcourt players, can fully demonstrate the destructiveness of mmd tactics, especially against the Lakers, a team with weak point guards.
"Terry received the ball and continued to break through with the ball. The Lakers' defense was torn apart and they fell into a tired shooting.
Terry took one step from the free throw line and hit a two-point jump shot..."
Swish——!
Terry scored with a two-point shot.
"Instead of slowing down and improving defense, the Mavericks lost their characteristics and strengths and put this advantage in the rotation.
Just by changing the priorities of the tactics, the power was immediately revealed.
The Mavericks' offensive firepower continues..."
Subsequently, the Mavericks broke through and scored, and Terry broke through. Barea caught the ball and made a jump shot, hitting a three-pointer. The firepower of the rotation was still very brave.
It's a pity that no matter how brave the offense is, the defense will still take a beating.
“The Lakers offense, Shannon Brown passed the ball to Blake, and then, cut inside and went to the basket.
Blake lobbed the ball to Odom. While receiving the ball, he screened Shannon Brown and passed the ball hand-to-hand.
Shannon Brown catches the ball and hits the Mavericks’ backdoor…”
Peng, shua——!
Hit the board under the basket and send the basketball to the basket.
The Lakers' offense also continued.
"The Lakers don't understand defense, and neither can the Mavericks.
Barea, plus a Terry, plus a Nowitzki, this kind of lineup, if the defense can guard it, then it will be damned..."
The score difference has been swinging at 3 or 4 points, and the Mavericks are still in the lead.
It's a pity that Carlisle was the first to panic. He was dissatisfied with the score and believed that the Mavericks should be more ahead in the rotation.
"Stojakovic came on and replaced Marion.
Coach Carlisle continues to upgrade the offensive lineup.
It's a pity that Carlisle's idea was wrong, and the Mavericks' offense did not get better.
Barea broke through, made an emergency stop and shot a two-point jumper, but the shot missed..."
Bang-dang——!
Barea's ability to control the field is still far from enough. He can only dribble the ball and break through.
His passing skills are not as good as Kidd's ability.
Indeed, the cards in Baria's hand are very good, but with Baria's ability, he cannot control them.
On offense, not to mention the failure to take advantage of the Mavericks' offensive lineup, there were even more flaws on defense.
“The Mavericks were completely overwhelmed on offense, and their defense couldn’t stand it anymore.
Carlisle's tactical adjustment was still too unstable. He actually took risks in front of Jackson and wanted to eat up the Lakers in one bite. This was too natural.
The Lakers are a tough team. Carlisle's plan to crush the Lakers on paper was a good idea, but he was slapped in the face..."
The Mavericks failed to defeat the Lakers offensively, but they were defeated defensively.
Odom was in good form and rushed to the basket frequently, but Nowitzki couldn't stop him at all.
In particular, the Lakers' role players have shown good strength in the triangle offensive system, mainly because they can score.
Carlisle saw the Mavericks' "rich battle" but lost some ground. He was still two or three minutes late for on-the-spot adjustment. By the time he replaced Kidd, Su Bei and Chandler, the Lakers had already established an advantage and gained momentum.
In particular, the Lakers' main players have had enough rest and can play again.
You call this a master tactician?
That's right.
In fact, Carlisle's coaching has been pushed to the edge of dismissal.
If it weren't for the realization that there was no choice and no one to replace, Cuban would have let Carlisle get screwed a long time ago, and his coaching tactics would mean nothing.
“This is the difference in background between the nouveau riche and the wealthy teams.
In terms of tactical quality, the Mavericks really can't compare.
Hong Kong, the Mavericks really have a lot of players who can play, but they don't work together and can't bring out the strength of the team.
There is a big problem, and it lies in Carlisle's coaching.
If you want to improve your defense, but refuse to give up your offense, if you want to attack, but if you think that without defense, you will probably not be able to defeat..."
The Mavericks have not been able to unify their offensive and defensive thinking. If they want to fight the Lakers, who have perfected their tactics, they are really looking for their opponent to die.
In the second quarter, the rhythm of the game shifted to the Lakers' side, and they were beaten 32 to 21.
At the end of the first half, the score was 58 to 49. With a 9-point deficit, the Mavericks entered the locker room to rest.
After 15 minutes of rest and recuperation, they came back for the second half of the game.
The main lineups of both sides continued to play music and then fought.
“The Mavericks had the ball on offense, and Kidd took the ball to the top of the key and decided to do it himself, back-up Fisher.
Artest rushed out and, together with Fisher, flanked Kidd.
In the physical confrontation, Kidd made a mistake and the basketball was about to be lost..."
Artest grabbed the basketball and immediately counterattacked with the ball.
Su Bei can keep up with the speed, but he can't withstand Artest, who is like a bulldozer, driving the ball into the basket. Su Bei is likely to get fouled if he takes action, and he can't withstand it at all.
As strong as James, Jordan still has a few sternums to spare. What can you use to top it off?
You can't stand it anymore.
Bang-dang——!
He dunked with one hand under the basket and scored two points on the counterattack.
The point difference between the two sides became 11 points.
"The Mavericks attacked, Kidd passed the ball to Marion, Kobe defended, and Fisher rushed to help defend, about to lose the ball again.
The Mavericks' mentality is about to collapse, and the offense is too quick and too simple.
The basketball in Marion's hand was cut off by Fisher, and he had to fight back again.
Nowitzki could only use a foul to interrupt the Lakers' counterattack..."
But it's useless, "delaying time" is useless.
Once in position, Gasol and Fisher set up a screen, but they were able to attack in the east or in the west.
"After the screen, Gasol did not pass the ball to Fisher. Instead, he acted like Chandler, turned around and broke through from the left. Facing Nowitzki under the basket, he dunked..."
Bang-dang——!
Nowitzki's block could not stop Gasol's dunk under the basket, and the Lakers continued to score two points.
The score difference became 13 points.
Bang-dang——!
Su Bei received Kidd's pass and wanted to shoot a three-pointer to bring the rhythm of the game back.
However, God was not on Subei's side.
His three-point attempt was sent.
Bang-dang——!
You will die if you try! !
"Sure enough, the jump shooting team is so ridiculous. When the offensive shooting fails to continue and the defense fails again, they don't know how to use other fighting methods.
Don't the Mavericks know how to defend a wave at this "time"? Wouldn't it be more reasonable to wait until the Lakers' momentum is defended before counterattacking?
But the Mavericks didn't, besides offense, offense...
It is simply too unscientific to just use offense to fight against the Lakers, a championship team that has both offense and defense..."
Swish——!
What's even more unscientific is that Kobe actually missed three-pointers during his offense.
It's a real disaster. The Mavericks' offense has lost ground one after another. However, at this moment, the Lakers' shooting state is like a waste of water. It's out of control.
One and a half minutes into the third quarter, the Lakers suddenly broke out, overwhelming the Mavericks on both offense and defense, and went on a 7-0 spurt, directly stopping the game.
The point difference between the two sides has reached 16 points.
Carlisle could only call a timeout to let the Mavericks players take a breath.
