After 15 minutes of rest and recuperation, they came back for the second half of the game.
The starting lineups of both sides then played music and then played again.
The first attack was the Mavericks' possession of the ball. Kidd took the ball to the top arc and faced Billups. He did not waver and continued to copy his previous homework, handing the damn basketball into the hands of Deste West.
This is to continue to take advantage of the ddm tactics to teach the Thunder's defense to fall into an exhausted rhythm.
"West went in with the ball, jumped out again, and the basketball was back in Kidd's hands.
Nowitzki moved at this time, moving from the left to the right, using Kidd's screen to block Durant, who was defending closely, and received a pass from Kidd..."
here we go again!
Why do you say again?
The question is that this tactic is a difficult problem for the Thunder to break.
Using one tactic over and over again, the Mavericks were able to fully utilize Nowitzki's killer weapon.
At this time, Nowitzki was mismatched against Billups, and he had a good offensive opportunity.
At the same time, Delonte West did not stand still. He moved from the right to the left, looking for Haywood as a cover to cooperate with pick-and-rolls without the ball. Through shuffling, whether it is outside or inside, misplaced attack opportunities will be available. It’s out, and it’s still in four groups!
"Nowitzki shot... no, he threw the ball to Haywood who moved to the right.
The basket is empty!
At this time, there is only the basket in front of us. Nowitzki is too comprehensive, and his ability to coordinate passes and withdraw is too strong..."
Can it not be strong?
Nowitzki's shooting is unanswerable. As an inside lineman, pulling him outside can make the Thunder's already weak inside line become even weaker.
The flaw in the protective basket was exposed to the air.
And this was just the beginning. The Mavericks also used the offensive space obtained by Nowitzki's evacuation ability to start a "dislocation" operation.
"Westbrook was squeezed away by Haywood who was holding the ball, turned around, jumped up, and was about to smash the basketball into the basket with one hand.
Oh, it’s so embarrassing!
Yin Baka stood up, his mobility was strong, he suddenly flashed to the basket, jumped up and slapped away Haywood's inevitable goal..."
Snapped--!
Hong Kong and the Mavericks' chances were calculated, but it's a pity that Haywood didn't use it.
Of course, Yin Baka's ability is also very good, and he played a defensive performance.
"meaning?
The Mavericks' offense is not over yet.
The rebound was taken by Kidd who came back from an empty cut and chose to shoot a two-point jumper from close range. This time..."
Bang-dang——!
still none!
Kidd made a last-hit shot from close range and also sent a second attack.
Sure enough, Kidd is still the same "basic but not offensive" and will never change at all.
The offensive attributes are just so unreliable.
The Thunder's two major flaws, rim protection and rebound protection, have been avoided.
It can only be said that the Mavericks failed to grasp the depth of the competition.
The Mavericks' point guard and center problems are also very severe.
No way, Kidd is getting old after all. Being able to perform like an old monster in 2011 is already very magical. Do you still want Kidd to continue to be magical?
Obviously it's impossible, absolutely impossible!
As for Heywood?
The 2011 championship had nothing to do with him.
He couldn't compete with boxing champion Chandler, and even had conflicts with the team in order to compete for the starting center position. It can be said that he was the sixth in the championship in 2011.
But as Chandler increased his worth and left with a big contract, the Mavericks had no choice but to use Haywood.
If Haywood had the ability, he wouldn't have traded for Chandler in the contract year in 2011 and handed the starting center position to Chandler.
“Everything is back to where it started!
Once upon a time, the Mavericks' point guard and center positions were their weak links in their championship bid.
To this end, they brought in Kidd and Chandler, and now one is old and the other is gone.
It’s time to go back to that disaster..."
"Of course, disaster is disaster. After the baptism of the 2011 championship, the Mavericks can better deal with their weaknesses..."
The basketball was obtained by the Thunder. Just as Westbrook wanted to speed up, he was immediately pressed by Delonte West.
Pass the ball to Billups, and Kidd quickly follows up.
"Su Bei catches the ball and can't speed up either..."
Logically speaking, with the Mavericks' current aging lineup, there is no way to continue to strengthen themselves.
Since you can't become stronger, let your opponent weaken, and then use your rich experience to defeat your opponent.
To this end, the Mavericks continued to control the court and adjusted the rhythm of the game to their best rhythm.
Obviously, the Thunder gave up. It was Su Bei who got the ball and forced to speed up.
After being deathly entangled by Marion, he immediately passed the ball to Durant on the left and continued to accelerate and sprint.
"What the hell?
One step beyond the three-point line, Durant caught the ball, pulled it up and shot..."
It's called controlling the field. Didn't I call you a second man?
Durant will continue to be unreasonable to the end. What he understands is controlling the rhythm, which means all kinds of random attacks and unreasonable blows.
Not to mention, Nowitzki can't keep up with Durant's rhythm, so he can only listen to gunshots defensively.
All that's left is: I bet you don't have bullets in your three-point pistol.
Bang-dang——!
You guessed it, Durant had no bullets in his pistol.
“Too soft and messy!
If Durant doesn't learn to attack with his back, and can only attack with his face to the basket, he is destined to not go far in the playoffs.
Even beating the Mavericks is so difficult, and it will only be even harder if they encounter the Spurs and Heat.
Nowitzki has waited ten years for a chance to prove himself. Durant is now taking Nowitzki's path. How far does he need to go before he can mature? "
…
On the court, in the Mavericks' offense, Kidd still dealt cards to Delonte West on the right.
As the body's functions age, the Mavericks' style of play has become more focused, so that their respective strengths can be brought together to achieve the best results.
West's breakthrough, Kidd's organization, and Nowitzki's versatility... none of them can be missing.
】
However, the same offensive operation is easy to predict, and the defense is also easy to target.
"West rushed in with the ball and was about to lose the basketball. Westbrook was not used to him. He fought with his body cleanly. After breaking West's control of the ball, he immediately reached out to steal the ball..."
Snapped--!
After Westbrook got the ball, he immediately launched a counterattack. When he saw Su Bei rushing to the frontcourt, he pushed with both hands and passed a long pass.
Su Bei is like an assassin, harmless to humans and animals if he doesn't take action, but deadly when he takes action. He takes the ball for a three-step layup, a lob in the air...
Swish——!
Without showing off his talent for dunking, there would be no Curry-style slip. Su Bei used a mediocre "civilian layup" to send the basketball into the basket.
57 to 54!
The score difference came to 3 points.
Looking back, Kidd dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, did not continue to play, suddenly pulled up the ball, raised his hand and attempted a three-point pull-up jumper...
Billups did not expect that Kidd was so ungrateful that he was careless and did not step out to block the shot, so he could only listen to the gunshot.
Bang-dang——!
Kidd's three-pointer still failed to hit.
If you try, you will die. I don’t know if Lu Xun’s words sound good or not, but they are definitely true.
Kidd's offensive attributes are not enough to feed a cat, but he still sleeps naked...no, shoots naked, what are the conditions?
As long as he has this offensive condition, he will not be called "basically non-offensive".
You said Kidd just doesn't like to take shots, not because he's a bad shot.
I bother!
People's eyes are sharp.
If you are trying to quibble with me, then there is no need.
"The Thunder got the rebound from Su Bei and immediately distributed the ball to Westbrook to advance.
Sure enough, he was blocked again and entered a positional battle.
Westbrook broke through with the ball and was flanked by Kidd and West. He passed the ball to Billups who was in the open position. Instead of shooting a three-pointer, he gave it to Durant who moved from the left. A screen tactic and handed the damn basketball to Durant's hands.
Shaking off Nowitzki, he took a step forward with the ball. Durant didn't wait for Kidd to pounce on him, so he pulled it up and shot again..."
Why do you say "again"!
The question is, this is Durant's special skill.
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Durant hit two mid-range points and continued to increase points for the Thunder.
57 to 56!
The score difference became 1 point.
Off the court, Coach Carlisle's face turned solemn.
The Thunder are such a shameless team.
He actually copied their offensive work in person again.
Unfortunately, his own shot failed, but the Thunder team, who copied their homework, did.
Is there any royal law?
Are there any laws?
If the Thunder are so disrespectful, no one will be able to lose face.
"Hey, it's the same tactic just now. Kidd dealt the card to West for a breakthrough, and then passed the ball back to Kidd. Nowitzki moved to the right and received Kidd's pass, creating a mismatch opportunity on the outside.
West and Haywood under the basket used screens to form their own 'dislocation' offenses.
At this time, the Mavericks had four sets of offensive mismatches. However, it was not them, but Marion, who took the real shot.
He moved, no longer giving face to Su Bei, cut from the left, passed the basket, moved to the three-point corner on the right, received Nowitzki's pass, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper... …”
Su Bei didn't expect that Marion would do this.
This kind of off-ball tactics in both corners was Su Bei's fixed tactic when he was with the Dallas Mavericks.
Su Bei wanted to chase, but it was too late, and he was blocked by Haywood's wall of flesh. He could only watch Marion use that ugly shooting posture to shoot the basketball.
Swish——!
Three points into the net.
The posture is not picturesque, but ugly is ugly. If you can score a goal, it is a good goal.
Su Bei was played.
They agreed to work together as walk-ons, but Marion broke his promise.
"pretty!
The Mavericks' team tactics are so beautiful.
In addition to the misplaced offense of the four groups, Marion's off-ball penetration is also very threatening.
If Marion were a few years younger and could copy Hamilton's homework, he could become a life-threatening stick and disrupt the opponent's defense..."
60 to 56!
The score difference returned to 4 points.
Carlisle, the head coach of the Mavericks, is indeed from the Pistons.
I also copied Larry Brown's 'Reasonable Basketball' in 2004.
Sure enough, he is a master of tactics, able to copy various assignments and use the cards in his hand to achieve beautiful offensive efficiency. The Thunder team's defensive system does not exist in the first place, so what can they use to support it?
You can't stand it!
No matter how good your personal ability is, it will be useless.
Aren't you a little loser?
Next, the two sides continued to enter the anxious rhythm of the game.
Although the Mavericks have firmly controlled the rhythm of the game, the Thunder's talent is about to overflow. It is impossible, absolutely impossible to stop them all.
If you fail to widen the score difference quickly, let the bullets fly for a while and see who can't withstand it first and whose endurance is not good enough.
