NBA beast center

The next day, the Mavericks continued their away game against the Milwaukee Bucks.

In this game, Dampier, the No. 2 center in the West, will continue to truce, and Shou Ye will continue to play as a substitute center.

The game was still inextricably played, the offensive efficiency of both sides was very high, and it was not until the end of the game that the winner was decided.

In the end, the stronger Mavericks relied on their experience at the last moment of the game to cause mistakes by the opponent and won by a slight advantage of 2 points.

寿叶本场比赛替补出战12分钟，4投2中，其中罚球4罚3中，得到7分4个篮板2次助攻1个抢断，另外还有4个犯规。

It seemed that the number of fouls in this game was under control. In fact, Shou Ye knew very well that it was because the opponent played more outside shots, not as many inside melee fights as in the previous game.And the number of fouls per unit time is still too much.If I want to start or become the main rotation in the future, then in the current situation, I will face the embarrassment of being sent off almost every time I play more than 20 minutes.

Shou Ye came off the bench for two consecutive games, and the team won both. This is a good start to his career.

After playing two away games in the Eastern Conference, the Mavericks returned to Texas to prepare for the game against another strong opponent in Texas, the Spurs.

The top three in Texas are very familiar to Chinese fans. There is a joke on the Internet called the "Three False Texans" - the Spurs are old, the Mavericks are weak, and the Rockets are strong.

Every time the bulls and horses fight, they will attract attention, even now Daidai and Yinjiao are already old.

The last time the two teams met in the playoffs was already in the 2005-06 season.In the playoffs that year, the Mavericks defeated the Spurs in the semifinal tiebreaker and reached the Western Conference Finals.

The two teams in Shou Ye's previous life will also meet in this year's playoffs, and the winner will be the Spurs.

目前两队的战绩还是小牛要更胜一筹，他们目前以8胜4负排在西部第3，而马刺以4胜4负排在西部第8。

American Airlines Center.

In this game, the Mavericks will face their rival Spurs here.

This is the first time Shouye will play in front of the home fans. He is very excited and must perform well to win the recognition of the fans.

Before the game, when Coach Carlisle spoke in the home team locker room, Shou Ye’s palms were already a little sweaty. It felt different at home and away, and there were some things that he really couldn’t control.

Shou Ye's closet was next to Beaubois, and the two rookies chatted with each other after Coach Carlisle finished speaking.

"Tom, are you nervous?" Beaubois knew the general idea from Shou Ye's expression, but he still asked.

Shou Ye nodded generously: "This is my first home game, and I can't help but get nervous."

Beaubois said with a smile: "I'm still a little nervous. It's my first home game, and my whole body is stiff."

The two smiled knowingly and could understand each other's feelings.

Today's American Airlines Center arena has a higher attendance rate than the previous game. Obviously, the Spurs' opponent still has a lot of weight in the minds of Dallas fans.

The starting lineups of the two sides were announced, and the Mavericks' side was the same as the previous game.

The starting lineup for the Spurs is Daidai, Antonio McDyess, Richard Jefferson, Yaodao and Jiao Zhixi.

"French Trot" Tony Parker will not play this game due to injury, which is good news for the Mavericks.

After sitting on the bench, Shou Ye's mood eased a lot.It's not that he hasn't seen this battle, but the difference is that he was wearing a suit before and didn't have to appear on the field, but in this game he will appear at any time to play for the team.

After the game started, the two sides started a contest.

Both teams are based on half-court positions. The Spurs have the twin towers, and the Mavericks have Silver Horn and Gooden, so they can't make quick transitions.

The offensive efficiency of both sides is very low, and it is not easy to score.

The Spurs traded former All-Star small forward Richard Jefferson last season, but this one of the "Tridents" of the Nets seemed a little unacceptable and did not play at the level that they should have made them. There are already signs of failure.

The two sides played evenly, and the Spurs in the away game took a slight lead by virtue of their inside advantage.

On the sidelines, Shou Ye went next to Dampier in a suit and leather shoes, and asked him for advice: "Eric, I would like to ask how you can avoid unnecessary fouls by playing inside?"

As a well-known black and tough player in the league, Dampier has been working as a blue-collar center for many years, but his fouls have been well controlled. You must know that blue-collars often need to do dirty work in the interior and are the most prone to fouls .

Dampier smiled and showed his white teeth, showing the kindness of a veteran.He is happy to pass on his skills to these rookies as a mentor. You must know that many young people came to the Mavericks to learn offensive skills around Yinjiao, but very few people are willing to learn defensive skills. Naturally, no one asked him for advice. Defensive tricks too.He has always confidently believed that he is the top defensive center in the league, but the official has not awarded him the best defensive player award.

Dampier's self-confidence is known to Shou Ye. With his strength, being able to call himself the "No. 2 center in the Western Conference" is already a joke level of self-confidence.Of course, his defensive ability is indeed very good, otherwise, with his clumsy offense, it would be impossible to play the starting center in a championship team, and it would be impossible to get such a big contract.

Dampier pointed out very seriously: "Tom, you have played two regular season games, and I have watched your games on the sidelines. Your defensive awareness is fine, and it is very good to have a defensive awareness as an inside line. It's just that I Just to remind you, as a center, the first thing you need to do is protect the rim."

Shou Ye nodded, humbly listening to Dampier continue.

Dampier was very satisfied with Shou Ye's attentive listening, which made him feel more fulfilled: "It is of course a good thing to be able to help defend, but because you sometimes over-assist in defense, the person you defend will miss, which should not be. You His movement speed is not fast, which cannot support you to return to your position immediately after assisting defense, so my first suggestion is that you should manage your defender well."

"If a teammate loses position, do I need to help defend in time?" Shou Ye asked.

Dampier patiently explained: "Of course you have the spare power, just like KG, he can defend multiple positions by himself, and he can move fast, so he can do this, but you don't have this ability yet, so even if your teammates are out of position , I still suggest that you take care of your own people first."

Shou Ye nodded receptively.

Dampier pointed to the daze on the field and continued: "Look at Tim, when he was protecting the frame at the basket, his arms were stretched out straight, and he made it very clear that you had your arms under pressure before, so it's easy Caught by the referee."
