Chapter 462 The Sadness of the Small Ball Era

In the Pacers kick-off, Granger tried to hit the iron.

The Mavericks attacked, Li Muhua entered the half court with the ball, dodged Collison after Bowling, and Rush came over from the other side to help defend.

Li Muhua paused slightly, then increased his speed again, continuing to break through from the right wing.

Mike Roberts blocked the space at the basket, Nowitzki returned to the free throw line, and Haywood was stuck on the other side of the backboard.

Li Muhua was not in a hurry, leaning his back against Mike Roberts, stopped the ball, and when Granger was double-teaming, he hit the ball from his crotch to the ground.

"Boom!"

Heywood caught the ball like a monkey fishing for the moon, and dunked the ball with one hand to score.

The fans applauded generously, and the home court fell into a sea of ​​joy.

The starting treatment is to be able to enjoy the opening game, which is something Heywood dreams of.

The jersey sales determine the love of the fans.

The center does not sell sneakers, which makes the fifth position very tragic. In fact, many stars are like this. Even if they have that height, they do not agree to play the center. As a result, the small forwards and power forwards have nothing to do and rush to the fifth position. In the era of small ball Sadly, the center has almost become a decoration.

Sports sponsors have certainly played a part in this.

The center forward's sit-up is ugly and slow, which affects the overall aesthetic of the game, while other positions are dazzling, and people love to watch. Heywood is very confused about the starting. He originally thought he would be in the position this season. Let the boxing champion go down.

Since the beginning of last season, Nowitzki has gradually increased his low-post singles. The Mavericks' fifth position has become a pure blue-collar, changing their style of play from offensive to defensive.

There is no way, as he is getting older, it is not very tiring to play in the low post, and there is Li Muhua on the outside, so it can be said that there is no need to worry about being double-teamed in the low post.

In fact, Haywood's defense is above the average level of the league, but sometimes he bullies the weak and fears the hard, making people look like a soft guy. Coach Carlisle felt that it was too troublesome to train, so he simply traded for Chandler.

To put it bluntly, he is also a poor guy. When Li Muhua is hitting the basket, he feeds him whenever he can, which makes Heywood a lot happier.

After Haywood came down from the basket, he roared.

When returning to defense, he even patted Li Muhua's butt to express his gratitude.

It's not easy to score a goal, you only have a chance by kneeling and licking the point guard.

Finally showing his strength, Haywood also lit up his biceps, and his limp hook really didn't look as good as a dunk.

The Pacers attacked, Collison sent it to Granger, Peja was close to him, Granger passed the ball, and the Pacers returned the ball to Collison after several passes.

On the surface, the Pacers' offense failed.

The players knew that the Pacers' pass just expanded the offensive range, and the transfer of the ball does not mean the transfer of the core. Granger supported the team's offensive system. In terms of finding opportunities, Granger is not bad. Similarly, leading The same goes for Paul George on the bench.

Li Muhua put on a stance of guarding against sudden shots, and Collison made a three-pointer directly after Granger's screen.

Three-point shooting ability!
Li Muhua didn't do this on purpose. There was no other way. Instead of allowing Collison to break through and cause damage to the inside, it was better to play outside.

Li Muhua had to help defend Granger at any time, so he was at a loss for doppelgängers.

This is the strategy of the new acting head coach Frank Vogel, who distributes the ball evenly, and every player has a chance. Granger is not the only choice for the ball, but he is the core of the team.

Coach Carlisle still stood silently on the sidelines without any reminder.

Nowitzki winked, and Li Muhua entered the half court with the help of a cover to break through, attracting Collison and Rush to double-team, which was the function of the defender's breakthrough.

Not only the speed, but also the rhythm of the footsteps, Li Muhua is already at the top level of the league, and does not rely on changing directions to break through.

After the footsteps were suspended, Li Muhua speeded up and passed the ball between the two double-teams. Nowitzki went down to catch the ball and threw it under the basket, causing Mike Roberts to make a defensive foul.

"beep!"

The referee whistled, and Mike Roberts looked confused.

It can be seen through slow motion that Mike Roberts did not stand firm, and collided with the old driver and fell directly into the wind.

After hitting the basket twice in a row, Li Muhua's pass was very firm, and he didn't choose to let the outside shot. Peja and Rodrigue became spectators, but there was no dissatisfaction on their faces.

The Mavericks changed the style of offense that has always been a jump-shooting team, using the point guard's passing ability to carve out the Pacers' penalty area.

"It doesn't feel like the Mavericks we know!"

"Yes, the Mavericks still want to play inside even though they have opportunities outside. The Pacers are not weak inside!"

The two commentators were also at a loss, saying they couldn't understand the Mavericks' offensive options at all.

"Good job dude, let's move on!"

Nowitzki yelled at Li Muhua when he returned to the defense with two free throws.

Li Muhua smiled, and responded with a thumbs up. Nowitzki sometimes acts childish and very immature. The Pacers players are all preparing to defend. You still have to say that you will continue to do this, next time. This time everyone is ready.

Tactical intentions are told to the opponent, and they are still playing with wool.

The Pacers attacked, Granger held the ball in singles, and quickly moved to the outside. Collison made a three-threat move.

As long as it is not a pitcher, this defensive posture is the most embarrassing.

Collison had no choice but to shoot a jumper and hit the iron directly.

The two commentators shook their heads at the same time:

"LI's defense has always been like this. If the shot is not stable, then it is considered to be defensive. This method saves the most effort. We can only say that LI is very attentive. He knows the weaknesses of many opponents!"

"CP3 once talked about this. LI understands the weaknesses of the opponent's players. Targeted defense can make up for his own lack of talent. It's quite scary!"

The Mavericks advocated offensive ability. Before coach Carlisle took office, the defensive efficiency ranked at the bottom of the league. Of course, it cannot be said that the pot left by the old Nelson is just a defensive habit.

Concentrating on offense will inevitably reduce the physical exertion on defense.

After coach Carlisle settled in Dallas, he first corrected the players' defensive habits.

After analyzing the player's ability, he introduced a series of defensive players through trades. Barrett, Chandler, and Stevenson are all suggestions made by Carlisle to the management.

Although it is not the top of the league, it will definitely not be worse.

With a reasonable lineup and improved offensive and defensive levels, the Mavericks will maintain a lot of winning streaks this season.

As we all know, Li Muhua's physical talent is poor, but he rarely makes mistakes in defense. It's not about restricting the opponent's shots, but trying to reduce the opponent's shooting rate as much as possible.

Defense also relies on awareness.

The Mavericks attacked, and Li Muhua once again held the ball to call for the pick-and-roll.
