In the second quarter, Carlisle continued its regular operations, with Painowitzki leading the formation and replacing them with two impactful short backcourt players, Terry and Barea, and the other two casual players, namely Haywood and Si. Tojakovic.
Being so arrogant, Haywood and Stojakovic are considered casual candidates.
After all, Stevenson, Marion, and Su Bei are still very useful...
On the Lakers side, Jackson doesn't have many cards to play. Fortunately, Odom and Bynum are there to hold the line.
Just make up the rest, also Matt Barnes, Shannon Brown and Blake.
Such a lineup has only one goal, which is to last for 5 minutes, wait for the main players to come on, and then clean up the mess.
Obviously, the Mavericks know what the Lakers are thinking and don't want to give such a chance to play cards. In a word: delaying time is useless.
Bang-dang——!
…
Bang-dang——!
…
Even though they knew that the Lakers were playing a bright card, the Mavericks still couldn't figure out the Lakers and failed to use good cards to defeat the Lakers. After playing 5 minutes, they only managed to widen the point difference by 1 point. It was simply giving them no chance. Used in China.
Stojakovic, Barea and Terry, followed by Nowitz in the first 5 attacks, all four of them sent once, how can they be rich?
"This is the unstable style of a jump-shooting team. When you need to show the hardness of crushing power, you are soft and cotton, unable to push forward, and will only hang around on the outside.
Such an unstable, unreliable, and unsteady style makes it difficult to go far in a stage like the playoffs, which is not unreasonable.
When you need your body and talent to fight tough battles, you are just floating around outside, depending on whether your shot is successful or not, all dependent on God for food?
What do you do to win the championship?
Such a Mavericks team does not have the appearance of a championship..."
The question is about jump shooting talent, which is not a type of talent!
In the era of Curry's decline, jump shooting talent is not a talent, but a skill. It seems that everyone can practice it. As long as they have the skills and are willing to work hard, anyone can do it except O'Neal and Howard...
It's not talent, but also unstable attributes, so he is naturally not favored. After all, defense is still the final issue in the current league.
Increase physical confrontation, strengthen the pressure on the ball holder, delay the time to reduce the offensive rounds, use fouls to interrupt the rhythm of the offense, you will not be able to shoot when you are open, and you will be able to shoot if you focus on zone defense...
The current rules are not so good for shooter-type teams, and they will not blow body whistles and the like at every turn.
If you want to rely on your jump shooting talent to realize your lead, the road is too tortuous. This question is too difficult, and the Mavericks can't do it!
"Five minutes passed in the second quarter, and Jackson didn't sleep anymore and replaced Kobe, Gasol and Fisher on the court again.
Carlisle of the Mavericks chose to stay put. This on-the-spot adjustment was a match for Jackson, who likes to sleep..."
"The Lakers had the ball, and Fisher passed the ball to Blake and cut to the basket.
At the same time, Blake lobbed the ball to Gasol and started a triangle offensive team strategy.
Fisher cut inside and created a pick-and-roll without the ball with Gasol, who was holding the ball. Fisher passed by and Gasol passed the ball... No, Gasol acted like everyone else and pretended to pass the ball to Fisher. Scheer, however, turned around on his own and dribbled the ball through. Haywood was hit by a shot, and his reaction was obviously slow. In front of Gasol, only the basket and Haywood, who was desperately trying to make up the position, were left in front of him..."
Bang-dang——!
Gasol turned around and made a dribble, jumped up, and under the cover of the slow Haywood, took the first step and blasted the basketball into the basket, scoring 2 points in the Lakers' account.
The Mavericks led 6+1, which turned into 7-2, which turned into 5 points.
"The Mavericks continue to trust their short backcourt, and their scoring impact is impossible to stop.
As a Lakers point guard, what can you do to top him?
Barea broke through with the ball, stepped down and dribbled, stepped back, raised his hand and attempted a three-point pull-up jumper..."
Hong Kong, whenever Barea chooses to break through, the Lakers will basically be unable to withstand it except for zone defense.
Fisher's current speed is just a matter of giving points when faced with a speed talent of 183. Even at his peak, Fisher did not give up points when faced with a talent of 183. Now he is 36 years old, so giving away points is not too much. ?
It's just a pity that Fischer dared to give it away, but Barea dared to ask for more. A steady two-pointer, maybe a lethal breakthrough, but he gambled that his unstable three-pointer pistol had bullets in it.
Bang-dang——!
You'll die if you try, and Barea's three-point pistol is out of bullets.
“The Lakers got the rebound, Fisher passed to Kobe, and then, cut inside and took away Terry’s defense.
what happend?
The one guarding Kobe is Barea?
How could the Mavericks' defense be so unreliable..."
In a previous life, Su Bei also saw Carlisle Nabaria defending James.
This kind of matchup cannot be said to be similar to the coquettish operation of using Tyruran to guard Iverson, but it can only be said that the effect is exactly the same.
They are all divided questions.
"Kobe didn't try to shoot a three-pointer, but dribbled the ball through, got to the basket, and scored 2 points for a layup..."
Swish——!
The physical confrontation was just a lie. No matter how active Barea was, he was unable to withstand Nash's defense. Kobe just rolled in, and the Mavericks' defense was torn apart like a piece of paper.
Not to mention, as a master tactician, Carlisle can still be very fucked up sometimes.
He doesn't use strong defensive wings like Su Bei, Marion and Stevenson, but likes to use Barea to score points.
Could he not be a master tactician?
The question is, most people may not understand Carlisle's cool operation?
Just like in 2001, the world didn't understand why Jackson used Tyronn Lue to defend Iverson?
At that time, Kobe's defensive skills seemed to be stronger, but he used 183 talents. He was mainly short enough to defend against those with a low center of gravity, and short enough to defend against fast ones...
Carlisle asked Barea to defend Kobe Bryant, which was the same idea. It may be called a reverse operation.
The tactician master looked at the problem more deeply and saw that Barea's 183 talent has the offensive advantage. Like Iverson, he can use speed and breakthrough to attack the Lakers' defense. In 2001, Fisher and Kobe both I can't stand it. Now that the 183 card is being played, what can the Lakers do to stand up?
As a champion, the Lakers did not prepare a 183 point guard, which is simply a bad review.
Only people like Carlisle can see through this flaw.
“Barea versus Kobe, it was a scoring opportunity.
Barea broke through with the ball, and Kobe quickly moved sideways and rushed forward to have a close contact with Barea.
It was clear that Barea was an attacker, but he didn't expect that Kobe suddenly added physical confrontation, causing Barea to change from attacking to receiving.
In terms of physical strength confrontation level, the two of them are in two different dimensions.
In the physical collision, Barea couldn't bear the "suffering", and his body balance was broken. Kobe took advantage of the situation to sneak up and cut off the basketball..."
In a few years, Kobe's blocking foul will be called for such a ball, but now, despite the rules that are favorable to offense, the referees who call the foul are all the older generation of referees.
If they blow the whistle for such a ball, it will be disrespectful to basketball.
You need to fight in the playoffs, understand?
"Kobe's defensive play was good. After stealing the ball, he immediately distributed the ball to Blake for a quick counterattack.
After Kobe scored the ball, he quickly rushed up. Blake took a few moves and immediately passed the basketball to Kobe in the frontcourt. Everything was smooth before his eyes..."
Hong Kong can't be said to be smooth sailing. At least Barea is back in time, and it can even be said that Terry is back in time.
But what's the point of using it?
Barea is only 183, Terry is only 188, but Kobe is 198 tall. He has height and strength to fight. If he attacks the penalty area, do you want to give him 2+1?
Or give it 2 points?
In the regular season, he will definitely give 2+1, and he will not let Kobe get an easy layup.
But in the playoffs, you need to understand that letting you go means letting yourself go.
"Kobe counterattacked, made an easy layup, and scored two points..."
The main force of the Lakers came on the court and chased 4 points in a row, reducing the point difference to only 3 points.
Seeing that the Lakers' offense was about to gain momentum, Carlisle couldn't sit still. Kidd was replaced by Barea, Su Bei was replaced by Terry, and Nowitzki was also replaced by Marion.
Carlisle was very careful with Nowitzki and never used Nowitzki's offense. From the beginning, they faced Kobe's soaring points. Perhaps now is not the time for this superstar battle.
Jackson also made a big move and replaced Blake with Artest, completing the perfect transition of the rotation lineup and the main players.
"The Mavericks are still in the lead, and the advantage is still with the Mavericks. Kidd chose to be stable. After all, the lineup has undergone a major rotation and needs to be more stable..."
If you want to play steadily, you need to attack the Lakers' biggest flaw.
Fisher is the best target.
"Kidd took the ball to the top arc, there was no flop, the choice was to go up himself.
He dribbled the ball and forced Fisher, and Fisher moved laterally to keep up. Kidd was not very fast. At the same time, Kobe seemed to have predicted Kidd's move and rushed over quickly. If there was any hesitation, it would be It is disrespectful to this defense..."
Snapped--!
Kobe steals the ball again.
Fisher used his body to fight, and Kobe, like a black mamba hiding in the underworld, broke through and caught Kidd off guard.
Kidd is getting old after all.
Kidd couldn't withstand such a simple zone defense. He was careless and was attacked by Kobe and Fisher without moral ethics.
"Kobe continued to counterattack, and Su Bei followed up and defended. He couldn't find a chance to defend, so he could only continue to watch Kobe, get to the basket, and easily put the basketball into the basket..."
Swish——!
No way, it's not that Subei is not active in defense, but it's a multiple-choice question.
It’s all about the principle of the song: understand that letting you go means letting yourself go.
Kobe obviously slowed down the tempo and protected the basketball. When Su Bei went up, he would be ready for success.
Su Bei is not a rookie, so naturally he will not give this opportunity, unless Kobe dunks and imitates Curry's slip, he can take a shot.
It's a pity that Kobe is too stable and can't learn from Curry.
The score difference became 1 point.
"The Lakers are on the rise, and the Mavericks are betting on their jumper.
Kidd is making trouble again. Nowitzki is not here, and he likes to make trouble.
Dribble the ball to the frontcourt, raise your hand and shoot a three-point pull-up jumper..."
Hong Kong Zhen, no matter how you play Fisher, it is reasonable and scientific. It's just a pity that no matter how Fisher can't withstand it, you still have to shoot the basketball?
Basketball is, after all, a scoring sport.
If you don't attack at all, do you still deserve Hong Kong's three-point shooting?
Bang-dang——!
He really doesn't deserve it!
"Kidd's three-pointer was delivered.
Indeed, there is no problem with Kidd's choice. Going to Hong Kong from the pattern and defeating Fisher is the winning formula for the Mavericks or all teams, but why can Fisher win a championship ring that can fit on one hand? ?
Do you think it's possible that Fisher is the trap and the bait..."
Pooh!
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Don't take Kidd's offensive skills as someone else's tactical layout.
After all, playing Fisher is indeed the right path.
Opportunities have arisen, but if you don't take advantage of them, there's nothing you can do about them.
"The Lakers had a chance to expand their lead. Gasol didn't play a good role as a pivot and passed the ball to Fisher to hit the back door. He continued to perform, and turned around with another fake fax. This time, he chose a close-range shot. Jump shot..."
Bang-dang——!
Gasol had a chance, but his shot failed and his sneak attack missed.
“In the battle for rebounds, the Mavericks are simply useless, and the flaw in rebounding has been exposed again.
Gasol grabbed the offensive rebound and got closer to the basket. He turned around and jumped to make a finishing touch. Chandler reacted quickly and interfered with Gasol's shot, and also sent a second attack from close range.
The basketball missed, and it was the Lakers' opportunity. Bynum grabbed the offensive rebound, withstood Marion's block, and sent the basketball into the basket with the rebound..."
Peng, shua——!
Bynum scored two points, helping the Lakers widen the point difference to 3 points.
"The Lakers' offense is unstoppable. Even if they can block the first and second times, the Lakers' strength is that there will be a third time. What can you do to stop it?"
You can't stand it!
The Mavericks didn't know how to defend, so they could only drag the Lakers down, and they didn't know how to defend either.
"With Nowitzki not present, Kidd still chose to do it on his own. He dribbled the ball to the right and stopped attacking in the direction of Kobe.
There was also a strongman on the right wing. Artest copied Kobe's work and rushed to defend the zone. However, his speed and skills were obviously not as good as Kobe's.
Kidd seized the opportunity. Perhaps he predicted the Lakers' defense in advance and sent the basketball away..."
From the right corner, Su Bei cut in from the air, received Kidd's pass, and shot a two-point jumper from close range...
This is a solid way to score points, and the Mavericks desperately need to score to stop the bleeding.
Su Bei's steady approach paid off.
Swish——!
A jump shot from close range, with the knife coming up and down, and he scored two points steadily.
The Mavericks were only 1 point behind.
Although the Lakers' offense was still unstoppable, Kobe took the ball and easily scored two points over Marion.
But the Mavericks still responded offensively.
Kidd continued to play music, and then played Fisher's pattern, which achieved results.
"Fisher couldn't stop him, so Artest had no choice but to come in and wipe his ass.
In order to block Kidd's offense, he chose to take action and use fouls to destroy Kidd's offense..."
Beep——!
The referee's whistle sounded, and Artest was given a technical foul because of his huge foul.
Kidd got 3 free throws.
At the same time, Nowitzki, who had rested for more than a minute, also returned to the court.
After all, this Mavericks team belongs to Nowitzki. He returns with full blood and stabilizes the situation on the court.
Next, the two sides fought back and forth, and no one could do anything to their opponent.
At the end of the first half, the Lakers beat the Mavericks with a score of 31 to 25 and recovered by 6 points.
At the end of the first half, the score was 53 to 51. The Mavericks entered the locker room to rest with only a 2-point lead.
Kobe Bryant made 5 of 7 shots. He scored 10 points and 2 steals in more than half a quarter. He started a superstar battle and led the Lakers to attack with momentum. It is not unusual to recover such a point difference.
Carlisle likes to play more, but he still wastes his time and gives the Lakers a chance.
