NBA super point guard

ESPN broadcast, Kenny and Barkley commented on the game.

Buckley:
"From the point of view of the lineup, I agree with Jason Terry's opinion. When Dirk Nowitzki is unable to play, in the backcourt against Butler, DeRozan may be subject to some restrictions. Dorsey Playing against Marion is also in a state of mutual explosion! It can be said that the current lineup of the Mavericks has completely suppressed the Raptors!"

"Yes, in fact, many viewers are just watching, in the absence of Nowitzki, who can stand up for the Mavericks, who is the second in charge of the Mavericks, Sean? Caron? Or LI, Jason, there are different opinions, although they don't We know the result, but we are still looking forward to it!"

"Alright, the game is about to begin!"

Kenny quickly cut the camera back to the arena. This game was at Dallas's home court, and there were many spectators.

At the beginning of the game, the Raptors rested Bargnani due to injury and adjusted the starting lineup.

The Raptors, who are short of major generals, are not much better. Joey Dorsey, Kleiza and Johnson form the front line, and DeRozan and Bayless partner the back line.

There is really no way to say this sad starting combination.

Chandler easily won the jump ball, Li Muhua held the ball, and Bayless defended against each other. Although his body was very explosive, he had no speed to defend the first position and no height to defend the second position.

As a draft player in the same year, Bayless was able to restrain Li Muhua in his rookie season, but now, he is no longer Li Muhua's opponent.

Li Muhua was not in a hurry, but kept patting the ball on the outside.

Marion came to the high pick-and-roll.

With the help of cover, Li Muhua pretended to make a breakthrough.

Bayless stepped back to bypass the pick-and-roll man, intending to continue to block in front.At the same time, DeRozan came to the other side to help defend.

Whether it's height or defensive strength, Li Muhua chose to ignore it and jumped up to make a shot. He was usually hesitant, but the height of these two Raptors' backcourt directly made people drunk.

Li Muhua felt that when he made a shot, it was no different from the open space.

It was the feeling of facing the sea again.

"Shh!"

A three-pointer was hit.

Bayless made a mistake in his judgment and chose to retreat instead of directly interfering. DeRozan was just pretending that helping defend was a waste of energy. In this case, Li Muhua had no reason not to make a move.

Li Muhua controlled the ball and chose to play the first ball by himself.

Coach Carlisle applauded from the sidelines and didn't care about Li Muhua's offensive choice.

Do you need to consider any tactics to play against the Raptors?

That is impossible.

The Raptors attacked, and Bayless handed it over to DeRozan after halftime, and Stevenson defended against him. No matter how fast DeRozan was, he suffered a disadvantage in the confrontation, and directly pulled out after holding the ball.

With first-class physical fitness, Stevenson can't limit DeRozan who jumps and shoots.

Li Muhua directly flew forward to help defend, DeRozan deserved to do this, DeRozan's shot speed was not fast, his body tilted slightly after he was in the air, and he shot after Li Muhua flew past.

It's just that this ball showed that the shot was a little hasty, so I hit the iron directly.

Chandler squeezes past Joey Dorsey for the rebound.

The Mavericks attacked. Li Muhua did not choose to break through the ball. After halftime, he passed it to Butler. With Nowitzki absent, Butler was the team's first choice for offense. Butler was backed by Kleiza. With the ball, Chandler and Marion helped to block the basket, and Johnson defended it.

After Butler shook, he half-turned and made a direct jumper on the left side of the rebound.

Kleiza did not jump, but raised his hands, relying on his body to oppress Butler's projection space.

Kleiza, who was fat and white and almost became the mascot of the Raptors, stood firmly. Butler's legs lost the flexibility of the past. It seemed that Butler's shot was hasty.

Just stand there and defend. Butler hits the iron directly.

Obviously he can take a step back or choose to break through, but Butler does not have an obvious advantage in the confrontation. Instead, he uses flexibility to play the time difference. The key is a shot.

Joey Dorsey grabs the rebound.

Coach Carlisle began to bow his head and think about life on the sidelines.

Li Muhua was speechless, and Marion even gave Butler a look. When he returned to the defense, Butler explained loudly: "That guy touched me just now, otherwise I could layup, just such a softie, I'm not in vain he!"

"cut!"

Chandler turned around and gave the middle finger.

This guy is a softie, and he said that others are soft. I am afraid that there is no one present who is softer than Butler.

To put it bluntly, Butler is not Kleiza's opponent, but just against the above comparison.

The Raptors attacked, and DeRozan was still holding the ball. After the pick-and-roll, Li Muhua misplaced the defense and suppressed DeRozan. In desperation, DeRozan chose to pass the ball, and Kleiza caught the ball at mid-range on the other side of the rebound , A jumper hit.

Butler was overwhelmed, he couldn't block Kleiza when he jumped up, and he was completely at a disadvantage in the matchup.

The Raptors' offense was not smooth. Li Muhua compressed Bayless's offensive space, and there was very little room for shots. He had no choice but to choose an emergency stop jumper.

No, there is another trick, a dry jumper.

The point guard played the performance of a shooting guard, a wave of horses.

Simply.

As the Raptors' second in a millennium, DeRozan did not perform as he should at all. Basically, his teammates stood and watched in the backcourt when they played.

The key point is that the Raptors played very slowly and crazily. They only scored 13 points in the first quarter. Li Muhua performed well, making 7 of 4 shots and scoring 10 points and 3 assists.

There is no need for assists. No one dares to pass on Butler's touch, and he can't even mix up the statistics.

The Mavericks directly led by 10 points and scored 23 points in a single quarter.

If it weren't for Stevenson and Butler to cheat the team together, the game would have been over.

The first quarter ends.

Barkley laughed like crazy in the ESPN studio:
"DeRozan scored 50 points in his rookie season last year. I remember that LI scored close to 60 points in his sophomore year last year. Looking at it this way, DeRozan just admitted it!"

"That can't be helped. If you meet someone who is stronger than you, if you don't soften up, you will be blown up by the opponent. Look at this game, DeRozan hardly took a lot of shots. It's not like his style at all. The Raptors have no defense. , but the feel of the Mavericks is too bad!"

Kenny agreed, and made a lot of complaints about the efficiency of the Mavericks.

Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, Buckley nodded in agreement:
"Without Dirk, no one on the Mavericks will be able to play. I thought Caron would stand up, but unexpectedly it was LI. And look at Marion, who was squeezed under the basket with a blush and a thick neck. The inside line was at an absolute disadvantage. Tyson is not enough, if the Raptors can make good use of the inside advantage, they may not have the ability to reverse the game!"
