"Blake took the ball to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Kobe!
Kobe didn't have much desire and threw it back to Blake. At this time, Gasol pulled up to the high post and immediately lobbed the ball in. Then, Blake cut outside.
Moving to the right corner, Su Bei moved outside the 70-degree three-point line on the right side, passed the ball-free pick-and-roll, and sent Darren Collison, who was 183 days old, to the front of Su Bei.
Gasol immediately smashed the basketball into Su Bei's chest. When Collison pressed closely, he arched his back, turned around and dribbled the ball through. After bringing Collison's defensive focus in, he stepped down and dribbled the ball. He retreated beyond the three-point line, immediately ignored Collison's rush to block the shot, raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper..."
You've been 183cm tall all your life, why are you trying so hard?
No matter how active the defense is, Collison has no use. He can only bet that Su Bei will just stay outside and not go in!
Swish——!
Guessed wrong, Su Bei's three-pointer went in.
It's like a training-like shooting, there is no pressure, and it is more difficult to score points than to miss.
"Two years after leaving the Lakers, Su Bei has evolved again!
I am more confident in attacking with the ball, the three-pointers are still strong, and with the blessing of the triangle offensive tactical system, I really can't stand it!
Darren Collison is called out again! !
Unfortunately, the Mavericks couldn't even double-team the ball carrier. After all, it was Gasol who was the center of the triangle offense.
Su Bei can shoot when he catches the ball, and even if he is in a one-on-one with the ball, he can finish the job quickly. The Mavericks' defense has no power to parry..."
And this is just Darren Collison's 183-day loss.
If Su Bei chooses to cut through, it is very likely that he can single-handedly target the Mavericks' basket.
The Mavericks' defense has two flaws. However, the Lakers' triangle offensive strategy focuses on these two positions. Through screens, you can get opportunities for misplaced attacks. What can you use to counter it?
The score difference became 8 points! !
Off the court, Carlisle was numb!
The Lakers with Paul cannot guard the Mavericks at the point and center positions, and the Lakers without Paul on the court cannot guard the Mavericks either. As a head coach famous for his iron-blooded defense, it is too difficult for him.
If he could, he'd debate whether to give the Mavericks' defense an award.
There is no choice but to attack, come back!
Still hurting each other!
On the court, the Mavericks attack.
OJ Mayo dealt the card from the top of the arc, and Darren Collison, who was flopped, was targeted continuously. He immediately aimed at Blake after taking the ball and kept passing by.
“So sharp!!
With a speed talent of 183, he quickly broke through to the end. Blake did not try hard, and chose to fight and retreat in an instant. Kobe and Gasol, when Collison raided, forewarned that Blake could not withstand it.
But in the end, it was impossible to give up. The Lakers chose to shrink and return to defense. Kobe opened OJ Mayo and came back to help defend. Gasol also swept over the help defense, blocking Collison's offensive space.
Collison went in, jumped out again, and passed the ball to OJ Mayo who was outside the 75-degree three-point line on the right. He caught the ball, jumped up, ignored Kobe's active defense, and shot a three-point jumper with his hand. …”
The top arc is dealt to the attacker, pulling the opponent's defense inward. Then, the dealer comes to the wing to receive the ball, which not only allows Collison to have better passing space, but also opens up Kobe's opportunity to return to defense. The distance and such exquisite positioning are naturally calculated.
Kobe Bryant rushed back and was more active, but it was of no use. He could only listen to the gunshot.
Bang-dang——!
“Missed!!
OJ Mayo wants to compete with Su Bei in three-point shooting!
This idea is very cowboy style, but OJ Ome may have found the wrong opponent.
No, not even a possibility, but a certainty. "
“Subei’s three-pointers are hard goods that have withstood the test of seven championships in seven years.
Although OJ Mayo was the No. 3 draft pick in 2008, his attack method in the past few years was more focused on dribbling and scoring. He chose to copy Kidd's work when he joined the Mavericks, focusing on defense + organization + 3 points.
OJ Mayo was once called the next James. A 'little James' competing with Su Bei for three-point shooting is no different from seeking death. Who gave you OJ Mayo the courage..."
Kaman was stuck by Gasol, Nowitzki evacuated outside, Marion also smoked while Su Bei rushed back, took down the rebound, and immediately rushed up with the ball.
"Beautiful, he changed direction and avoided Marion's on-the-spot counterattack.
Su Bei counterattacked very resolutely, and when they saw Kobe crossing the half court, they immediately sent the basketball to the frontcourt..."
Kobe had just made a quick save to block OJ Mayo's three-point shot, and just in the transition from defense to offense, he became a counterattack blade that penetrated the heart of the Mavericks.
When OJ Mayo turned around to chase Kobe, he could only see the rear of the car. So what if he caught up?
When you play against Kobe Bryant, you will also receive points.
Bang-dang——!
After getting the basketball in the frontcourt, Kobe went to the penalty area and hit a windmill dunk, sending the basketball into the basket.
“The Lakers counterattack again!!
Kobe focused his energy on counterattacks and connected with Jiangsu North. Fighting like this would be too labor-saving and efficient.
The Mavericks are still the same offensive and defensive team they were in 2011. In just the past year, the same tactics and different players have immediately turned into a defensive team with holes everywhere. What can I do to save you, my Mavericks..."
The score difference became 10 points.
As a master tactician, Carlisle predicted what would happen to the team.
It's just a pity that the cards in his hand are not suitable for his style and cannot prevent this result from happening. What else can he do?
No choice, at this moment, I can only place my hope on Nowitzki, who performed superbly in 2011.
"The Mavericks attacked, and Mayo dealt the cards from the top of the arc. Instead of favoring Darren Collison, he took advantage of both rain and dew and turned over Nowitzki's cards.
The left three-point line is 70 degrees, three threats with the ball, one-on-one PJ Tucker..."
Tucker's reported height is 2.06 meters, but he looks only 2.03 meters tall.
The advantage lies entirely with Nowitzki. It seems to be a matter of scoring points. It's just a simple move to lift the ball and aim for a shot. Tucker has no choice but to press closely and interfere with Nowitzki's shooting rhythm.
"It was staged. Nowitzki faked a shot and came in with the ball.
Su Bei and Kobe both chose to help defend. Nowitzki took the ball and shot... No, he flicked it in the air and sent the basketball to the low post on the left, giving Marion the ball as he cut through. All that's left is the basket..."
Bang-dang——!
Marion easily used a mediocre dunk to eat the cake made by Nowitzki and scored two points.
“Very nice organization and support for passing the ball!!
This goal was scored by Marion, but 80% of the credit must be attributed to Nowitzki.
King Nuo's organizational forward tactics are also very difficult to resist. This is the role of superstars on the court!
The Lakers’ internal flaw is also a delicious scoring question..."
No way, once upon a time, the Lakers' top three players who created the dynasty only had one Gasol left.
It's impossible, absolutely impossible, to solve the Lakers' internal flaws by relying on a small player who couldn't make it in the NBA and spent three and three years in the European League.
The lineups of both sides are far from perfect, and both have fatal flaws. Next, let’s see who has stronger and longer-lasting combat effectiveness.
The Lakers' offense is still focused on Jiangsu North.
Kobe and Gasol chose to be assistants, so that Su Bei could quickly regain his previous feeling.
At this time, Kobe's statistics are meaningless. He wants to win more games and win more championships.
Gasol is here to assist Kobe. Now that Kobe is willing not to play and let Su Bei feel it, he naturally has no desire to steal the show.
“It was Blake’s outside cut that sent Darren Collison into the hands of Su Bei.
He caught the ball outside the 70-degree three-point line on the right side, lifted the ball a little, and sent Collison flying. However, Su Bei made a ground pass, sending the damn basketball to Gasol, and then cut into the paint.
Here we go, damn solid style of play!
Gasol took the ball, turned around and broke through on the left, taking away Kaman's defense, and Su Bei cut inside.
Alas, Marion released Blake and quickly retracted to block Su Bei's cutting attack.
Su Bei received a pass from Gasol and quickly passed the ball to Blake who was three points away in the right corner. The ball was empty and he shot a three-point jumper..."
Marion cared about making up for Su Bei's attack, but he didn't care about guarding Blake's attack. He could only watch and listen to Blake's gunshot.
Swish——!
“It’s still a hit!!
So did Blake's three-pointer.
Together with Jiangsu Bei, it rained three-pointers on the outside.
The Mavericks' defense was hopeless.
Collison is short, Marion is slow, and Kaman is weak. The three of them have three flaws. It is impossible, absolutely impossible to block the Lakers' most stable three-point shooting spot..."
Not to mention that Su Bei's three-pointers are always accurate, and Blake's three-pointers are also very accurate this season.
After adapting to the Lakers' triangle offensive tactics, Blake's three-point shooting percentage increased from 35% last season to 42%. It is basically the same as his peak form, but it is very similar.
Blake's defense is stretched and he is not good at physical confrontation. His ability to survive in the NBA from 2003 to now depends on his excellent organization and reliable shooting.
As Blake scored a three-pointer, King Nuo's extraordinary pass to assist Marion's goal was instantly offset. Moreover, this was still a three-pointer, and the Mavericks' scoring account was still hurt.
The difference between the two sides became 11 points.
The game has reached a point where shots are exchanged, and the Mavericks no longer care.
Next, Nowitzki began to take over the game, trying to extend the life of the Mavericks with his personal unsolvable offense.
Not to mention, Nowitzki's offense, especially his shooting, is really tough.
Taking the ball, posing as a triple threat, facing P.J. Tucker's three-point shot, and hitting it steadily.
…
He was bypassed by Tucker and refused to receive the ball.
Nowitzki moved from the left to the right, used O.J. Mayo's screen, threw Tucker away, came to the right, hit Kobe with his back, turned around and shot independently, and with a swish, he hit the ball steadily.
…
Taking the ball on the left side, he took Tucker's back with his back, turned around and dribbled the ball inward to break through. Before Su Bei's defense was in place, he raised his hand and made an emergency stop two-point shot, which was equally accurate.
Nowitzki, who performed as superbly as he did in the 2011 playoffs, carried the Mavericks forward by himself.
The Lakers didn't panic.
Although the power forward position is a flaw, neither Tucker nor Gasol can limit Nowitzki's scoring.
But Nowitzki challenged four, and it was simply a dream to defeat the Lakers with an F4 combination.
If Kobe were to challenge a team by himself and defeat this F4 team, the Lakers, I think many people would believe him.
But when Nowitzki faces a one-on-one challenge, you have to ask whether you can give Nowitzki such courage.
Well, Liang Jingru doesn’t take such blame!
Buzz—!
The buzzer sounded and the second quarter ended.
In the second quarter of the game, it was another battle.
The Mavericks, who went all out, relied on Dirk Nowitzki to step up and stay alive, and actually managed to hold on to the score. The two sides scored 31 to 32. The Lakers only took advantage of 1 point in the second quarter.
At the end of the first half, the score was 58 to 68. The Lakers entered the locker room to rest with a 10-point lead.
In the second quarter, Su Bei played 5 minutes and made 2 of 2 three-pointers. He only scored 6 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds, which was pretty good.
Kobe scored 3 of 3, two counterattacks, and one duel, and also scored 6 points. His statistics were also average, but the efficiency of the combination was not as high as one floor, but at least three or four floors high!
