After returning from the timeout, the Mavericks' offense remained bleak.

Rose was still torturing Kidd, but fortunately, the offense stopped a bit. As a result, Brewer replaced Bogans and followed Terry every step of the way. It is really a hit rate that cannot be explained.

In the game a few days ago, Kidd went straight to 7 for 0. In such a comparison, Terry's performance was pretty normal.

Rose's style of play is simple and rough, but it works very well. As long as he starts a breakthrough, no one can stop him, layup, foul or emergency stop jumper.

If it weren't for Rose's lack of long-range shooting ability, it is estimated that the game would have been over.

Nowitzki played in time to resolve the embarrassment, but the shooting rate was still very low, and the Mavericks' tactical changes did not break the defensive cage.

The Bulls did not play fast, but played positional warfare step by step.

In the second quarter, the Mavericks scored only 15 points, while the Bulls scored 25 points.

At halftime, the Bulls led by 44 points at 35:9 at home.

This game was quite tiring. After holding the ball, Rose set fires everywhere, which made the Mavericks players exhausted. The key is that the Bulls' possession of the ball is relatively concentrated, reducing mistakes.

Terry sat beside Li Muhua and whispered.

"Dude, help me block Rose after you play, or I won't be able to make a shot!"

Li Muhua looked at Terry contemptuously. Rose passed the ball as soon as he was pressed.

After all, he is also a veteran of the league, and he is as restless as a young man after playing. Li Muhua couldn't help but persuade him: "Jason, when you encounter defense, you should actively cooperate with your teammates and don't play alone. After all, we are not playing alone. Team, there is no matching tactic!"

Facing the Bulls with the league's first record, the Mavericks' tactics were questioned.

During the intermission, the on-site commentary also ridiculed that coach Carlisle was very rigid and rarely let stars play singles tactics.

Back in the third quarter, Li Muhua came on the court, used his teammates to screen and dislocate the offense, and then broke through to find outside opportunities. The Bulls' defense was very targeted, allowing Rose to press Li Muhua, and the other players played outside.

Terry floated directly on the outside, making 5 of 1 three-pointers.

This kind of performance is really unbearable. All the open opportunities were given, but the result was still such a mess. Kidd didn't talk nonsense and let Pavlovich play to replace Terry.

It's just that Pavlovich is not as good as Terry. In the fourth quarter, he only took one shot, and he took four shots in the whole game, all of which were hit by iron.

In the end, the Mavericks lost the away game 77:82.

Li Muhua feels completely different from yesterday when he played against the Lakers.

After leaving the arena and returning to the locker room, Li Muhua expressed his doubts, and Kidd explained: "The Lakers' defensive strength relies on fixed tactics, while the Bulls have some basic defensive moves in place, that is, individuals and systems. Two different defensive strategies!"

Kidd had a clear view of the fire. Although he was blown out by Rose during the game, relying on his teammates to cover him, he shot 7 of 4 from the field.

The Bulls rely on iron and blood defense, unless the ball is concentrated in the hands of Nowitzki, or in the hands of a certain player, using crazy scoring to break through the defense.

The players are defending each other man-to-man, and the cooperation is just to look good. To put it bluntly, it is a more complicated singles tactic.

In an interview after the game, coach Carlisle did not say much:

"The loss is because I didn't do well. Our players encountered some problems in offense, which happened to be something I couldn't adjust. I hope that in the future, we will not make the same mistakes after meeting the Bulls!"

After the game, the Mavericks rested overnight in Chicago and went straight to New Jersey the next day.

"LI, I think you are too low-key, you can obviously make more shots!"

Assistant coach Terry Stotts suggested directly.

李慕华11中7,罚球4中4,砍下20分7助攻,数据没有打成两双的主要原因是队友们遭到了人盯人防守。

The shooting percentage of his teammates is low, and it is difficult for Li Muhua to assist in double figures.

This suggestion moved Li Muhua very much.

The players who were originally traded had no status, but now the Mavericks cannot do without Li Muhua at the first position, and the right to shoot is negotiable.

The key is that Coach Carlisle has never deliberately restricted it.

The Mavericks have a lot of offensive points. Except for Nowitzki and Li Muhua, the others are relatively unstable. What Terry Stotts meant by saying this must have been instructed by Coach Carlisle before.

The point guard's shots are not in the Mavericks' original system. Losing is sometimes a good thing, and it can discover the team's problems in time.

Coach Carlisle has already thought about this when he suffered a losing streak from the front end.

As for why the coach has been hesitating, this is what Li Muhua can't figure out.

On January 1, the second day in New Jersey, the Mavericks played away against the Nets.

Playing against this bottom team, coach Carlisle started a transformation plan. The Mavericks have not changed much in the lineup, but the shooting power has become more concentrated.

Regardless of home and away games, the Nets' lineup is not bad, but they are too obsessed with mid-range shots.

Nowitzki returned to the low position to support the ball, and Li Muhua came to the high position to shoot and organize the offense.

It looks the same as before, but the number of shots has increased greatly.

After winning the jump ball, Li Muhua chose to break through Harris.

With almost the same speed, Li Muhua played very well, and Stevenson was usually responsible for covering this kind of dirty work.

Stevenson is a boring gourd. He can do whatever the coach asks him to do. When he is on the court, he will do it immediately as soon as the branch asks.

People don't talk harshly, and they are talking about people like Stevenson.

Using pick-and-rolls to break through and form dislocations is used by every team. Others pick-and-rolls generally use their bodies to hit some edge balls. After a pick-and-roll, a player bumped into him and immediately turned back.

Anyway, he averages 2-3 shots per game. Stevenson doesn't care about playing time at all. Fouls don't matter. In contrast, a bump is really painful.

Li Muhua broke through directly with the help of cover, and Harris bumped headfirst into Stevenson, and that wasn't enough, Stevenson turned sideways and tripped Harris with his legs.

That's what blue-collar players do, and they don't give a shit when it comes to doing the dirty work.

Li Muhua accelerated directly and faced Graham in a dislocation, attracting the defense in the middle.

Nowitzki likes this kind of cooperation. The defender can break through to evacuate the low-post players. Nowitzki can't play two-on-one, but in the case of one-on-one, the old driver has many methods.

Without hesitation, Li Muhua hit the ball to the ground, and Nowitzki turned around and cut directly to the basket.
