In the rotation game in the second quarter, without the capable Mavericks, they had no choice but to fight Terry and Carter.
The offensive combat effectiveness of the "double special combination" is great. Both were born in 1977. Rounding off, they are both 35 years old. They are also an older group. Adding the starting five, the average age is 34 years old... Well, I don’t know if the management of the Mavericks is nice or not. But he is definitely a talent.
As far as this player framework is concerned, it’s a nursing home where people play basketball!
"I just like you guys who are old enough! What is Cuban doing? To carry out the old boys team to the end and plan to let them grow old together with Nowitzki..." The old boy is inspiring, but his condition is unstable. , the combat effectiveness has declined, and it is impossible to get stronger. This is very scientific and reasonable!
"Terry got the basketball and was outside the three-point line. He ignored Harden's defense and jumped up. He made a three-point jumper... Bang Dang -! The basket didn't tolerate him. Rejected his goal. At this time, Terry was not in convulsive mode, and his shot was missed."...
"It was Carter who took the ball and challenged Su Bei. The three threats feinted and dribbled the ball in front of him to break through. Seeing Su Bei fighting and retreating, he immediately took over and dribbled. He changed direction and stopped suddenly. He lifted the ball and raised it. His hand was a two-point fadeaway jumper... Bang Dang -! Carter did it too. His shot, like Terry's, also missed."... Terry who played unreasonably and Carter who followed the Romans, They tried to use a simple jump shot attack to solve the Thunder team. Unexpectedly, they did not bring a microwave oven, but the touch was not on their side. The offensive shots were hit one after another, and the Mavericks' offense also failed.
The only two rotation players who could play, they had no shooting touch, and their condition was called a stretch. However, the two of them did not try to break through to cause damage, but continued to try to take jump shots. As a result, they would die if they tried.
"This is a problem for teams that focus on jump shooting tactics. They play from the outside. If you have a good touch, you will be amazing. If you have an inaccurate touch, you will be a devil..." The closer you are to the basket, the higher the hit rate. What Lu Xun said is so true. Truth, it’s impossible for a two-special combination that has been together for more than ten years not to know.
It's a pity that Terry and Carter have no choice. They are 35 years old and their physical ability has declined. What can they do to break through?
…
"Su Bei feinted a shot from outside the three-point line, changed direction in front of his body, and dribbled the ball inward. Carter's defense was compromised, and his steps were not as good as before. He could only fight and retreat, but Su Bei pushed him to the end, under the basket. He rushed up to the man, knocked away Carter's body, dodged Yin'an Mahinmi's block, and put the basketball into the basket."...
"After Harden's triple threat, he stepped down and dribbled continuously and broke through. Terry was passed by, and he European-stepped the ball for a layup... Whoa! It's still a hit! I can't withstand the outside line, and I can't protect the inside line. , the Mavericks' defense was nothing. Without boxing champion Chandler, when Haywood came off the court to take a break, the Mavericks' basketball basket was easily penetrated..." Terry and Carter were in unreliable form, and their defense failed again. Coach Laile could only ask Nowitzki to resist.
If the game is not going smoothly, the team's superstar will have to step up. This is quite reasonable, but it is nothing more than depleting Nowitzki's physical fuel tank in advance.
But at this time, the situation on the court could no longer be solved by just relying on role players, even advanced version of role players. He also wanted to be a good person and let Nowitzki use his good steel on the edge. But there was no choice but to let Nowitzki fight in advance.
"Nowitzki took the ball and singled out Collison. The three-threat took a step, put his feet back, raised the ball and made a three-pointer. Collison couldn't ignore Nowitzki's three-pointer. He pounced out and was indeed acted out. He collected the ball, changed direction, and Nowitzki broke through with the ball. Collison turned around to pursue the defense. Nowitzki changed direction and made a chasing ball. He made a European step layup, which caused Collison's thug. Foul..." Standing on the free throw line, Nowitzki used precise free throws to chase the point.
And this is just the beginning!
"Nowitzki is too incomprehensible in one-on-one combat. At the age of 34, he is still able to stop the gods and kill the devils. Collison can't stand it alone, so Subei has to help defend. Nowitzki As if he had predicted it, he distributed the basketball to the left three-point corner. Carter caught the ball and when it was empty, he raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..." In zone defense tactics, the most afraid of three-pointers from the bottom corner is there. In the blank area of the attack, Su Bei turned around and fought back no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain. He could only bet that Carter's three-point pistol had no bullets.
The only consolation for Subei is that Carter's shooting, especially the three-pointer, is mediocre. Swish——!
He raised the knife and dropped it. He guessed wrongly. Carter's three-point pistol had bullets.
"After three days apart, I was impressed! Carter is no longer the king who only dunked into the basket once upon a time. Even Kidd's 'basic' can practice three-pointers. Carter has returned from being a demigod to a human being. , it makes sense to be able to practice three-pointers and switch to 3D play..." Without physical talent, just practice shooting skills. This is a routine operation for stars to extend their basketball careers. Su Bei is still looking down on the world. .
No matter how bad Carter is now, once upon a time, he was one of the top four shooting guards! You still dare to let others go, this is not seeking death, so what is it!
Relying on Nowitzki's unsolvable singles and his organization-forward tactics, which can be sudden, shooting and passing, the Mavericks gradually recovered the point difference, and the two sides entered an anxious situation where you and I were back and forth, and no one could do anything.
"Although the Thunder have Billups, the rhythm of the game on the court is still properly arranged by the more experienced Mavericks. The Thunder have overflowing physical talent, but they fail to speed up, rush their body, and play comfortably. Offensive..." Off the court, Scott Brooks was very calm. The score could not be opened, and he was not in a hurry. Hu Ge... No, he was not in a hurry anyway.
With the advantages of age and cards, on their side, it is the other party who should be anxious. In the 5th minute of the second quarter, he replaced Durant, Westbrook and Yin Baka during regular time.
At this time, the Thunder's lineup became an offensive lineup with the Thunder's four young men + Su Bei. As for the Mavericks, the core main force has also returned to the court, becoming Haywood, Nowitzki, Marion, Kidd and Terry.
This lineup, except for Chandler who left the center position, the rest is the unsolvable lineup that the Mavericks used in their previous life in Jiangsu Province.
If there is even a need for a breakthrough, Barea, who left the Timberwolves, can be brought up to put 183 talents on the court.
At this time, the score was 40 to 39, and the Mavericks continued to lead by 1 point. The Thunder had the ball. Westbrook brought the ball to the frontcourt and immediately became reckless with the ball.
"Westbrook rushed Terry, and Kidd came to help defend. The basketball was distributed to Harden's hands in the right three-point corner, and then he dribbled the ball through. The Mavericks' defensive formation was calm, Kidd turned around to defend Harden, and Terry let the ball pass. Brooks also defended in a zone. Harden did not wave, and passed the ball back to Westbrook, who quickly passed the ball to Durant, then played music, and then broke through..." The lack of speed does not mean that the body cannot be moved Talent comes into play.
When it comes to controlling rhythm, the Thunder can't compare. However, if you are young and have a young style of play, and if your skills are not good, then you have to work hard, work hard, work hard for endurance...continuous, like the Yellow River overflowing, and out-of-control raids will always make the Mavericks fall apart. when.
No one sprint can break the Mavericks' formation. If not, then there will be a second one.
"The Thunder did not play with skills and acted recklessly. Durant's breakthrough singles cannot be said to be similar to Nowitzki's, they can only be said to be exactly the same. They are both unsolvable. Nowitzki's single defense is the same. Unable to withstand it, seeing that the defense was about to be lost, Marion came to help defend. Hey, the Thunder played very patiently. In the last 5 seconds, Durant still chose to throw the basketball out of the left three-point corner. Su Bei After catching the ball, he was free. He lifted the ball and Marion flew over desperately. What the hell? Su Bei collected the ball, turned around, took two steps with the ball, and then threw the shot out, hitting the buzzer for a jump shot... "Shua——!
With the knife in hand, Su Bei accurately hit two points at the buzzer, helping the Thunder take the lead back.
40 to 41! It’s only the second quarter for Hong Kong True. It’s really meaningless to compare one to two points.
However, the Thunder copied the Mavericks in person
The "ddm tactics" style of play gave the Mavericks a headache. They knew that a surprise attack like this from the Thunder would make their defense exhausted and lose sight of one thing.
With their average age of 34... no, with Terry back, he is already 35 years old. It is only a matter of time before such a real old boys lineup is overwhelmed by the Thunder's youthful and invincible talent style.
But this was the choice of the warm-hearted boss Cuban, and the Mavericks could only adapt to circumstances and deal with it until then.
Next, the rhythm on the court continued to be controlled by the Mavericks. However, the Thunder's talent is visible to the naked eye. They constantly hit the basket and play recklessly with the ball. They are quite unreasonable and look like they beat the old master to death with random punches.
In the second quarter, the Thunder relied on their brutal play to suppress the Mavericks' court control and beat the Mavericks with a score of 31 to 23.
At the end of the first half, the score was 59 to 52, and the Thunder took a 7-point lead.
