In the second quarter, rotation battle! Well, if you lose the series, you have to go home and fish, and there is no such thing as rotation or no rotation.
On the Thunder side, they continue to fight for wealth. The team is led by Su Bei and Harden, and the others are Yin Baka, Collison, and Billups.
Compared with the strength of the starting five, they just lack talent, and their combat effectiveness is also at the championship level. On the Mavericks side, Carlisle is still following the old routine, with sixth man Terry and Nowitzki leading the team, rotating in Carter, Delonte West and Brandon White.
Just looking at popularity, the Mavericks are not inferior to the Thunder. After all, not to mention Nowitzki, Terry and Carter, West is a man known as the Emperor.
The second quarter begins with the Mavericks team. Terry took the ball to the frontcourt, used DDM tactics, and dribbled the ball through Billups.
"Push forward, fight and retreat. When Jiangsu Bei assists in defense, the basketball will be lost. Billups intercepted the basketball and immediately drove the ball forward to counterattack. A 2-on-2 was formed in the frontcourt, and Billups Dribbling the ball in the middle to break through, and sure enough, he passed the ball to Su Bei on the left. Outside the three-point line, he dribbled the ball in and broke through. Hey, it was so chaotic. He raised his hand and shot a chasing three-point pull-up jumper..." Carter did not expect that Su Bei was so ungrateful. He was careless and did not follow up. Instead, he copied the traditional operation and retreated to the basket.
This kind of defensive choice is the most scientific. When the opponent wants to score steadily, it is most reasonable to attack the basket.
Who would have thought that Su Bei was so brave. A steady two-pointer and a risky three-pointer were placed in front of him, but he actually chose the three-pointer, which was simply outrageous.
Even if you want a three-pointer, shouldn't you go for a layup and rush to the basket to create 2+1? As for betting on illusory three-point shots, there is really no need to do so!
No choice, facing Su Bei's outrageous operation, he could only listen to the sound of gunshots. Swish——! With the sword raised and lowered, Su Bei's three-pointer continued to add firepower.
"Oh my god! I don't understand, how can we give Su Bei space to shoot? Doesn't Vince Carter know that Su Bei's three-pointers, open shots and free throws have similar shooting percentages?"
"No, it can't compare to the free throw shooting percentage! After all, Subei's free throws are more terrifying. If compared with O'Neal's free throws, just pretend I didn't say it..." 28 to 27!
The point difference becomes 1 point. In transition between offense and defense, the Mavericks made a steady move.
"Terry put that damn basketball in Nowitzki's hands. He faced Collison. After three threats, he dribbled the ball through and shot. With Collison's height and talent, he tried his best to block the ball. Gai was just showing off..." Bang Dang -!
The basketball bounced out of the basket. The offensive talent is strong, but the basket is not used to him, and it is of no use to mess around on the outside.
"Nowitzki made a two-point pull-up jumper, and it was the Thunder's counterattack again. Billups controlled the ball, and Su Bei and Harden were like two sharp blades piercing the Mavericks' ribs. Let's see who will hit them. Card? Hey, he didn't favor only Su Bei. Billups chose to spread the rain and dew, hit the ground and passed the ball to Harden on the right. What the hell? After a few dribbles, Harden copied Su Bei's work. , just a three-point shot... No, beautiful. This is a prayer! The fake shot is really sudden, Harden is so good, it is also a pursuit attack, but he uses a European step layup..." Beep——!
Bang-dang——! Terry showed his experience in the playoffs. He couldn't steal the ball and sent Harder directly to the free throw line to make a free throw, showing the iron blood of the Mavericks.
Standing on the free throw line, Harden didn't, and with two swish sounds, he made the free throw steadily. 28 to 29!
Su Bei and Harden, the explosive combination of Xiaowang, scored 5 points together at the beginning of the second quarter, helping the Thunder achieve a lead in the score.
"The depth of the Thunder's bench is really terrifying. It's tough. It's so young and has staying power. It's really hard to stand up! Popularity doesn't mean strength. The depth of the Mavericks' bench is not what it used to be. Compared. The most painful thing is age. They are too old, their skills are useless, and their physical talents are not enough. They are tougher than their opponents..." Off the court, Coach Carlisle's face was a little solemn.
The score advantage gained by relying on Terry to go crazy early is gone. Fortunately, he didn't panic. With Nowitzki as a great god, why should he panic?
On the court, Nowitzki took the ball and hit Collison with his back. Then, he set a screen for West who was cutting without the ball. They passed the ball hand to hand and gave it to West to rush up and beat the Thunder. the back door.
Peng, shua——! West and Nowitzki connected and easily penetrated the Thunder's defense.
"The Mavericks are not Nowitzki or Terry, who are fighting alone. They are a whole, and the Thunder's defense is just an individual. What can you use to resist it? You can't resist it!"
"This technique is very familiar. Sure enough, Coach Carlisle copied his homework again. It looks like the Lakers' triangle offense..." No matter whether he copies the black cat or the white cat, as long as he catches mice, he is a good cat.
It doesn't matter whether he copied it or borrowed it, it doesn't matter. You can score points, it’s not shabby! 30 to 29!
The Thunder's defense is still terrible. The Mavericks can create offensive opportunities with simple cooperation.
Moreover, it was the Thunder's rim protection flaw that hit them. No way, it's impossible to end the Mavericks' scoring on defense.
If you can't defend yourself, you can only prevent the Mavericks from even trying to defend.
"The ball was in transition, and the Thunder wanted to speed up, but were pressed down. Sure enough, without Kidd, the Thunder were still able to control the rhythm of the game. Billups took the ball to the top arc, and Terry defended, who was he to turn over? Card..." At this time, Su Bei was heavily guarded by Carter.
Collison and Yin Baka can be considered offensively. In the end, Billups chose to turn over Harden's card.
Harden versus West, the advantage lies with the Thunder. With Harden's talent, to be honest, he is indeed better than West.
However, Harden continued to dribble and break through with the ball, and his offensive intentions were predicted. Among the Thunder's starting five, there are two Thunder players, but there is no room for Harden.
Harden, as the draft pick in 2009, can only play as the sixth man. When Harden gets the ball, he will provide ammunition to his teammates and make his data look like a parallel import?
No! Impossible, absolutely impossible! I bet Harden will play by himself so that he can prove his talent and face the title of Tan Huayang.
To be fair, Harden's breakthrough skills are still very strong. However, facing the Mavericks, who mainly use jump shots as their main offensive option, they will not regard the Thunder's outside shots as alive at all.
The question is that the Thunder can score jump shots, but not as many as the Mavericks. Offensive three-threat selection.
Through the elimination method, it can be predicted that Harden will lose two major threats. Passing and jump shots can be ruled out.
Harden only has a breakthrough.
"West presses hard, but Harden still rushes inside. It's too chaotic, and the basketball is going to be lost..." Bang!
Delonte West seized the opportunity, cut off the basketball from Harden's hand, and counterattacked on the spot, finishing the game.
Bang-dang——! A slam dunk sent the basketball into the basket. 32 to 29! It was just an accident!
Harden is still worth relying on. In the next offensive round, when Su Bei was tightly defended by Carter, the Thunder team, which had no offensive cooperation, chose to challenge again.
The basketball is in Harden's hands again.
"Continued to break through with the ball, but was pressed by West. He fought and retreated until Nowitzki assisted in the attack. What the hell? Harden's European step was broken, and the basketball was snatched by Nowitzki. . It was Harden, the old 6, again, and the basketball in his hand was cut off. During the Mavericks' counterattack, Terry rushed to the frontcourt and made an easy layup..." Swish -!
34 to 29! Terry counterattacked and scored two points to help the Mavericks take a 5-point lead. Of course, Harden's undercover assists are also very crucial.
This is the pain of blind Jiba's random beating. What position will you use as a Thunder player? As a veteran of the Mavericks, I don't need to pat my butt to know what position you will use.
If you can fight, what's the use? After the Thunder's two young masters finished their offensive routines, it was Harden's turn to take action.
If he doesn't seize the opportunity to make a move, Harden will have to be a walk-on when the Thunder's two young men return to the court.
When the pass button is turned off, people are not afraid of you shooting, so they can only take the path of breakthrough to the end. It's not surprising that he will make mistakes again and again.
After two rounds, it was discovered that Harden was useless. Billups decided to go up on his own, took the ball and beat Terry, and used his physical advantage to force his way to the basket.
"Carter shrank back, and the Mavericks' inside line couldn't protect the basket, so they could only pile people inside. Bang! Sure enough, Billups chose to pass the ball to Su Bei in the left three-point corner. That was the Thunder's most A reliable offensive point. However, the Mavericks seemed to have predicted it. Carter did not retreat deep enough to defend, so he quickly pounced out, and then was missed. After taking a step to the side, Su Bei made a three-point jumper. ..." Carter was sent flying in the air, and he could only bet that there were no bullets in Su Bei's three-point pistol, and he couldn't do the rest.
Bang-dang——! Opportunities have arisen, and there are times when Su Bei fails to use them. The basketball slid out of the basket. Even though he was halfway in, he still rolled out.
God is not on the side of Jiangsu Province.
"What a pity. This is not a technical issue. Well, if I have to give a question, I hope it is a character issue. Last season, Su Bei was the most stable shot of the Dallas Mavericks besides Nowitzki. Now. Turning around to face his old club..." With this character, you still want to score goals.
I bother! The rebound was picked off by Brandt White. He is 2.08 meters tall, but has a length of 2.22 meters. Yin Baka did not lie down, and his length is really not comparable to Brandt White.
But lying down is of no use in grabbing rebounds. You can't use your length to poke the ball, right? Yin Baka can't grab it, which makes sense.
"In the Mavericks' offense, Terry brought the ball to the frontcourt and chose to break through. After being flanked by the Thunder, he immediately distributed the ball to West, who then handed the damn basketball to Nowitz. In Ji's hands..." After receiving the ball, he posed as an offensive three-threat. After taking a step, he feinted to lead the players to a breakthrough.
Even though Collison was following closely, he didn't mess up. He turned around and gave me a butt, and then pushed it with his butt. There was space, and it didn't matter if there was no water.
Shaking his shoulders, turning around, pulling the ball up, he raised his hand and hit an independent fadeaway jumper... Collison tried his best to block the shot, but Nowitzki's feet blocked the distance.
He was leaning back again and had the advantage of height, so he could only listen to the gunshot. Swish——!
"Beautiful! King Nowitzki's mid-range shot is so handsome. He turned an ordinary jump shot into an art, simple and unbeatable. This is Nowitzki's offensive rhythm. Just by looking at his movements, you know that the ball is stable. ..."36 to 29!
Who would have thought that the Mavericks would be the leader. An 8-5 offensive failed to stop the game. However, Scott Brooks obviously couldn't do it anymore, and with a wave of his hand, Westbrook and Durant were replaced.
After the Thunder are eliminated, they have a lot of time to rest, and now they don't have to rest on the bench.
"The Thunder are going to be more intense. They don't have any tricks with the Mavericks. They just rely on their main force and want to use their talent and endurance to bring down the Mavericks..." The flaw in the lineup framework of the Mavericks' nursing home is too obvious.
Moreover, the playoffs are a series. The Thunder can start from G1 and compete with the Mavericks to kill them.
Is this a long-term plan or a conspiracy? The Mavericks had no cards in hand and did not follow up, letting the bullets fly for a while before adjusting.
