Tucker's defense against power forwards is a bit short of height, and his defense against small forwards is a bit short of speed.

But Tucker's hard work is outstanding, and he is full of momentum.

After Kobe suffered a serious injury, his footwork slowed down a lot, but he is about the same height in defense, strong in body, and slow in speed, so he is still good at it.

Lin Shuhao's assisted defense is also good, but the single defense is average.

McGee is not very defensive either. Although he jumps very high, his timing is not good. The team's defensive coach has focused on training him.

After the intermission, the second half of the game began.

Mavericks coach Blair is very good, he did not come up with countermeasures in the first half, but after the intermission, he quickly came up with countermeasures.

When the Lakers double-teamed Nowitzki, Nowitzki gave the ball early to the open Parsons.

If Xu Feng is defending Parsons, then Parsons passes to Jordan Hill inside.

Because Hill has the ability to shoot in the middle, but McGee can't defend it.

Sure enough, Hill's steady mid-range shot punished the Lakers for double-teaming and made consecutive hits, narrowing the point difference.

On the defensive end, the Mavericks let Parsons and Ellis keep Xu Feng out of the penalty area, limiting Xu Feng's offense.

This change of offense and defense made the Lakers very uncomfortable, and Kobe felt cold, and the Lakers couldn't continue scoring.

The point difference narrowed a little bit, the game lasted 6 minutes and 13 seconds, the score between the two sides was 72:69, and the Lakers only led by 3 points.

D'Antoni immediately called a timeout. He knew that double-teaming Nowitzki was useless.

But he didn't think of any good solution, so he could only look at Xu Feng.

Xu Feng has also been trying to find a way, but Blair is a master tactician and a champion coach. His adaptability is too strong, and Xu Feng is still much weaker.

So he sat there expressionless, without speaking.

D'Antoni had no choice but to let the players be more active.

[Ding, the system detects that the host has been suppressed tactically and is in a state of anxiety, triggering the Sakuragi flower system]

[The system releases new tasks to reward hosts with lucky draw opportunities. 】

Xu Feng couldn't help but sighed: "Great, system, hurry up and release a new mission, we are about to lose!"

[Ding, new task content: The host went to the Mavericks owner Cuban, touched his face, and said to him: "Let's change the name to Lone Ranger, Mavericks doesn't sound good!"]

Xu Feng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't understand what the system meant.

Lone Ranger?The name is very strange.

But now if you want to beat the Mavericks, you must complete this task.

After the timeout ended, Xu Feng went straight to Cuban on the sidelines.

Among the 30 teams in the league, Cuban is the most enthusiastic about basketball. Other club owners buy teams just to add value and make money.

Only Cuban really likes basketball, so many fans like him very much.

When Xu Feng walked in front of him, Cuban was stunned, and the two looked at each other.

Xu Feng suddenly stretched out his hand, touched Cuban's face, and said, "Don't call him Mavericks, call him Lone Ranger!"

After speaking, Xu Feng turned and left.

Only Cuban was left alone in the wind, muttering non-stop: "Lone Ranger? Lone Ranger?"

[Ding, the host completes the mission and gets a lucky draw once! 】

A big turntable appeared in front of Xu Feng again, and Xu Feng pressed the "Start" button.

The turntable began to spin rapidly, and then Xu Feng pressed the "stop" button again.

After slowly stopping, the red pointer pointed to an option [Top Tactician, the host will use it for life]

Xu Feng was overjoyed and almost jumped up for joy.

He has always been interested in tactics, and usually plays the role of an assistant.

Although Xu Feng's tactics are very effective most of the time, but when facing some famous coaches, and there are superstars like Nowitzki under him, his tactics are not enough.

Although D'Antoni is good at bombardment, he is helpless in the face of some complicated situations.

So Xu Feng has this [Top Tactician], so he can maximize the strength of the Lakers in the NBA.

Sure enough, several plans to deal with the Mavericks' tactics appeared in Xu Feng's mind.

He immediately called his teammates to the front, and said quickly and simply: "Don't double-team Nowitzki, let McGee defend, and then Tucker defends Jordan Hill, and the others remain unchanged!"

The teammates didn't understand what it meant, but they still did what Xu Feng said.

Although Nowitzki is a power forward, his height is about the same as that of a center forward. However, Tucker, who can shoot like this and is much taller than him, must not be able to defend against Nowitzki.

As the game continued, the Mavericks also discovered the changes in the Lakers' tactics. Blair was taken aback by watching from the sidelines.

What surprised him wasn't that the Lakers responded so well, but that the Lakers didn't change their formation at the beginning. It was Xu Feng who called his teammates together and then changed their formation.

Blair looked at Xu Feng, wondering whether this was what Xu Feng meant, or D'Antoni?
After the Lakers changed their formation, the effect was immediate, and they disrupted the Mavericks' position at once.

Although McGee's defensive ability is average, he is tall and moves fast, which can just guard Nowitzki.

And Tucker faced Jordan Hill, who didn't move fast, shot averagely, and defended very effectively.

The Lakers began to widen the point difference. At 9 minutes and 46 seconds into the third quarter, the score between the two sides was 86:73, and the Lakers led by another 13 points!
Blair had no choice but to call a timeout again.

Although Nowitzki has a good shooting touch, he is old after all, and under McGee's interference, his shooting percentage dropped too fast.

Blair had no choice but to replace Nowitzki.

This time, the Lakers no longer have any players to worry about, and the other Mavericks players simply can't match the Lakers.

Although Monta Ellis had good breakthroughs and mid-range shots, Xu Feng's help defense made him uncomfortable, not to mention other players, Barea and Nelson were too old.

This is also the aftermath of the Mavericks' championship.

In the fourth quarter, there was no suspense, Blair had no more coups, and Nowitzki was restricted.

In fact, although many famous coaches are indeed capable, they also depend on the abilities of their players.

For example, Popovich, he does have abilities, but it is also because he has a super giant like Duncan under him.

Zen master Jackson is very powerful, invented the triangle offensive tactic, and won many rings, but he also needs players like Jordan, Kobe and O'Neal under his hands.

Therefore, although Blair is very strategic, he has no soldiers to use after all, so he can only surrender.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the visiting Mavericks 112:98 and won the victory.

Xu Feng played 28 minutes in this game and scored 37 points. Nowitzki played 31 minutes and scored 25 points, which is far below his average level.
