After a few minutes of testing, the Mavericks finally knew that fighting against the Lakers might not be a good choice. At the same time, attacking Paul's 183-day loss would not necessarily be very efficient.
At this time, Carlisle missed Kidd's control of the field and Terry's chaos and surprise ability.
To be honest, after the Mavericks over the past few years swept the Lakers 4-0 in 2011, they are not afraid of beating the Lakers.
Although the Mavericks will lose more than they win when they meet the Lakers in the 11/12 season, the only loss is the strength of the lineup. In terms of content, the Mavericks actually do not lose in terms of appearance, unsolvable jump shots, and quick counterattacks in transition between offense and defense. A great trick, enough to give the Lakers a hard time.
It's a pity that Kidd and Terry are old and no longer useful, so they can't keep them for the New Year!
Fortunately, the tactical work of winning against the Lakers is still in the team's warehouse. Taking it out and copying it may also be a good way out.
On the court, the Mavericks attack.
Darren Collison controlled the ball to the frontcourt and immediately distributed the ball to OJ Mayo who reached the top arc.
At this time, Mayo dealt the cards from the top arc.
Darren Collison moved to the right three-point corner, and Paul followed.
Marion came to the left three-point corner, and Su Bei was marking the opponent.
Kaman was on the right side of the waist in the penalty area, blocking Gasol for the ball.
"Nowitzki was surrounded by Jordan Hill from outside the left three-point line.
The Mavericks suddenly changed their formation.
Alas, Nowitzki turned inward, which was actually a reverse run outward. Then he turned around and moved towards the top arc.
Mayo took advantage of the situation and provided a screen for Nowitzki, blocking Jordan Hill's pressing, and handed the basketball to Nowitzki who came to the right offensive area..."
This move is very similar to Gasol and Paul's passing and cutting cooperation. The difference is that the Lakers use the high post screen and choose to attack towards the basket, but the Mavericks choose to use the top arc as a screen and attack from the outside.
At this time, Kaman moved from the waist position in the penalty area on the right side to the waist position on the left side.
Kobe quickly switched defense and got in front of Nowitzki.
Bang——!
"Nowitzki hit Kobe with his back, rushed forward, knocked away Kobe's personal interference, shook his shoulders, turned around, and Nowitzki raised his hand and made an independent jump shot..."
Kobe quickly pounced to cover Nowitzki's eyes. His defensive choices are neither inadequate nor unreasonable. However, no matter how good the defense is, it is useless. If the golden rooster is independent under the dislocation, you can only bet on Nowitzki. There were no bullets in Key's pistol.
Swish——!
Guessing wrong, Nowitzki had bullets in his pistol and steadily sent the basketball into the basket.
“Very nice!!
Finally, finally here, Nowitzki's trick appears, and it's really unbeatable!
Moreover, it is still a misplaced offense through team cooperation. Even if Kobe switches defense, it is still too difficult and it is impossible to defend..."
11 to 14! !
Outside the court, Carlisle nodded.
Very satisfied with the offensive cooperation just now.
Without Kidd, there would be no field control and we could only eat pigs with hair on them?
Without Terry or Barea, the weapon of raid is lost?
No!
No one is irreplaceable.
In this round, the content of the attack method remains unchanged, and the scoring point is still an unsolvable jump shot.
However, through the movement and screening of the players, Nowitzki's all-round offensive attributes that can shoot at any time are also brought into play.
Seeing the Mavericks using the same low-pressure tactics they used to win the championship in 2011, Mike Brown on the Lakers coaching bench did not panic.
With the F4 card in hand, when it comes to offense, the only one who has to panic is the opponent.
The only thing that made him unhappy was that he couldn't play the defensive tactics he wanted.
The Lakers' zone defense was dismembered.
The two strongest wings, Su Bei, were pulled to the three-point corner on the weak side to follow Marion, who was invisible offensively.
And Kobe was pulled to the top of the arc, and then helped defend to the wing, which became a mismatch, and he was also unable to display his defensive skills.
Let Paul and Gasol, these two "Pauls", conduct zone defense?
Pooh!
It is a help for them to take care of themselves and not mess up. It is impossible, absolutely impossible for them to become the defensive leaders of the Lakers.
"Carlisle deserves to be a master tactician. Although he copied his homework, the players executed it very well.
Moreover, as a coach, copying tactics does not count as copying.
Next, let’s see how the Lakers play..."
How else to fight?
Nowitzki scored on Kobe's head. Looking back, the Lakers attacked. Kobe took the ball and feinted to the right and left. He immediately took the ball and broke through two steps. OJ Mayo followed up. He immediately leaned back and shook his shoulders. , turned around, pulled the ball up, raised his hand and shot a two-point fadeaway jumper...
Mayo's talent was completely unable to resist Kobe's back-up move, and he could only listen to the gunshot.
Swish——!
“It’s still a hit!!
Kobe is in good shape.
Opportunities came up and they were taken.
The shooting posture is beautiful, the touch is still online, and the offense is really picturesque..."
11 to 16! !
The leaders of both sides successfully put the damn basketball into the basket in their respective duels.
The situation of the game is still back and forth, and no one can do anything to the opponent.
The Mavericks attacked, and Mayo took the ball directly to the top arc and continued to prepare for the deal.
“The card that turned over was Darren Collison’s card, taking the ball and not caring about it, dribbling the ball in and breaking through.
Went in, jumped out again, and put the basketball back into Mayo's hands.
Nowitzki made another reverse run, moving from the left to the right. He picked up the ball and acted like Kobe was switching defenses. He immediately collected the ball and broke through. Kobe quickly slid to follow, and Gasol also came to help defend. .
Oops, just after entering the paint area, Nowitzki made a sudden stop and pulled up the ball. The breakthrough was not completed. He shot... No, he flicked the basketball to the left side. Kaman caught the basket in the air, dunked and turned around to defend. Gasol..."
Bang-dang——!
13 to 16! !
After dunking with both hands, Kaman's entire body hung on the basket again.
Nowitzki's one-on-one was too unsolvable.
In addition to being able to shoot on his own and accurately, he can also break through with the ball. After breaking through to the end, he can assist his teammates in scoring.
From now on, Jokic will copy Nowitzki's work.
The only difference is that Jokic likes to drink Coke, is a fat guy, has thicker flesh, and can also grab rebounds.
You said that there are no good top inside opponents.
Nowitzki is in the era of the four power forwards. In addition to the four power forwards, star power forwards are also everywhere.
Going a step further, the Mavericks' offense, which revolves around Nowitzki, is also very unsolvable.
In terms of offense, there is only one word: very tough!
Off the field, Mike Brown was calm.
He did not continue to stand on the sidelines and put on a show to grab attention.
No matter how tough the Mavericks' offense is, he doesn't care, because it's not as tough as the Lakers'!
Moreover, if they want to defeat the Lakers with a luxurious lineup, the Mavericks will not only be tough, but also very durable.
Nowitzki was originally troubled by physical insufficiency, but now that he is almost 35 years old, he can still endure it!
Continuing to play with Nowitzki as the core is a wrong choice in itself.
The more happily Nowitzki attacks, the calmer he becomes. Let the bullets fly for a while, and the German tanks will lie down on their own.
The Lakers attacked, Paul dribbled the ball through half court and did not continue to look for Kobe.
Hong Kong, the Mavericks' lineup has many flaws.
I just named Darren Collison for his 183-day loss, but he did it very successfully and efficiently.
With such a heart-wrenching operation, Paul will naturally let the Mavericks continue to play and taste.
"Gasol pulled up to the high post to receive the ball. Paul did not cut inside, but continued to cut outside, and played a screen with Su Bei.
Blocking Marion's personal defense and sending Darren Collison's 183 in front of Su Bei, Gasol took advantage of the situation and handed the basketball into Su Bei's hands.
He picked up the ball, fired up Collison, immediately collected the ball, turned around, hit the ground, passed the ball to Gasol, and then cut into the paint..."
Gasol caught the ball again, immediately turned to the right, dribbled the ball inward, and then distributed the ball to Su Bei, who was following up on the left.
When Kaman turned around, he saw that Su Bei had jumped up and used an ordinary one-handed dodge dunk to slam the basketball into the basket.
Bang-dang——!
“I can’t stand it!!
The Mavericks' point guard and center positions were targeted at the same time.
Paul's outside cut, Su Bei's inside cut, and Gasol's support all combined to instantly dismember the Mavericks' defense.
The scariest thing is that Su Bei didn't gamble on three-point shooting, but scored a solid two points.
This ball is not very lethal, but it is extremely insulting..."
13 to 18! !
Off the court, Carlisle had a headache.
At this time, the Mavericks, after winning the championship in 2011, have returned to their old lineup.
The point guard and center have become the Mavericks' two major flaws.
At that time, in order to solve the problems of the past two years, Kidd and Chandler were signed. They worked together for two years and immediately won the championship.
Now these two positions have become Darren Collison with 183 and Kaman with strong offense and weak defense, returning to their original appearance.
Next, the Mavericks attack.
It was Mayo who dealt the card from the top of the arc, and Darren Collison made a surprise attack with the ball to teach the Lakers' defense to shrink back.
It's a pity that Paul's defense is too strong. At 183, Collison couldn't hit Paul from his height and broke through with the ball. He just made a lonely breakthrough.
The basketball still returned to Mayo's hands. Against Kobe, it was impossible to force the ball, absolutely impossible. He still provided a screen for Nowitzki and then distributed the ball to Nowitzki.
Kobe continued to switch defenses, and the rest of the Lakers did not help defend, allowing Nowitzki to continue to show off his personal offense.
The question is, no matter how good Nowitzki can play, he is just a loser in a small factory.
Moreover, he is still a 34-year-old young man.
I bet you can't defeat the entire Lakers team by yourself.
Bang-dang——!
"Gone!!
Nowitzki pulled up in front of Kobe, and the opportunity came out, but the basket couldn't tolerate him and refused to score.
Gasol blocked Kaman, and Su Bei rushed in to get the rebound, and immediately dribbled the ball forward to counterattack. Mayo and Marion came over from a double flank, and Su Bei sent the basketball to the frontcourt without saying a word.
Oh, there was no one in the frontcourt... No, Kobe rushed up, quickly came to the frontcourt, and caught the basketball back before it flew out of the baseline.
Two bangs, a dribbling adjustment, and Kobe showed off a folding back dunk that no one was watching..."
Bang-dang——!
Kobe and Su Bei connected and counterattacked and scored two points.
13 to 20! !
"The Lakers' offensive firepower continues to increase.
Too brave, the attack power of the F4 combination is too strong.
The Lakers' offense still didn't miss a shot. The Mavericks obviously played well. They were as fierce as a tiger in one operation, but when they looked at the score, they felt like they were wasted. "
"Carlisle finally, finally couldn't bear it anymore and called a timeout..."
The timeout was just to interrupt the Lakers' offensive rhythm.
The Mavericks have too many holes defensively.
In addition to centers and point guards, the first person to bear the brunt is Nowitzki, who has never been good at defense.
In addition, Marion is already 34 years old, almost 35 years old. His physical style of play requires too much physical talent, and his decline is not a hundred million points. What can he use to defend?
OJ Mayo's physical talent is a flaw, and he is facing off against Kobe. When his teammates can't even take care of him, he can only support himself. That's Kobe, what can you use to support him?
There is no choice. The Mavericks have always been the same as Huashan, fighting for offensive firepower.
The offensive firepower must not only be tough, but also durable.
It’s really hard to fight.
Fortunately, the Mavericks still have a trump card.
For example, there are talents like Carter and Brand on the bench.
So, with a wave of his hand, they were replaced.
Replaced Nowitzki and Marion.
After the timeout, the Mavericks' lineup changed to Kaman, Brand, Carter, OJ Mayo and Darren Collison.
The Lakers have good chemistry, but they still have to make personnel adjustments.
Replace Jordan Hill with Artest.
F4 combination, continue to fight.
