Chapter 379 The bitter fruit of failure

Chapter 382 The Bitter Fruit of Failure
The Mavericks, trailing by 14 points at halftime, wanted to get back to themselves as soon as possible.

Losing yourself is easy, but finding yourself is hard.

However, it is not impossible if the leader is willing to make some sacrifices.

Maybe the Mavericks don't expect Nowitzki to get back to form.

Their offensive focus has been diverted away from Nowitzki.

Nowitzki looks more like a decoy.

For four consecutive rounds, the Mavericks played around Nowitzki.

But Nowitzki's shot count was 0.

In the first round, he showed good coping ability.

Josh Howard moved sharply and was in the blind spot of Nowitzki's vision, but the ball was given as soon as the opportunity came out.It can be seen that Nowitzki has sufficient control over the battlefield situation.

Howard got the trust and returned it with a beautiful jumper.

The next round, Devin Harris was not so appropriate.

He is faced with challenges all the time. The challenges brought by Wei Xia include but are not limited to, the consumption of physical strength, the contact with the body, and the impact of power.In addition to these, there are "friendly exchanges" that pop up from time to time.Sometimes Harris was so angry that he would spray a few words, and Wei Xia almost never did not reply to his words.It seems that in his eyes, trash talking is a very important part, as long as he has time, he will definitely answer.

"He's not afraid of you at all!"

Harris roared and shot.

Harris shot the iron, wasting an opportunity in vain, and at the same time exposed to the Lakers that Nowitzki had given up attacking and used himself as a bait.

However, the Lakers also did not find a good state.

Ryan Hollins wants to play the core insider under the triangle offense system.

His overconfident positioning and overly mentally retarded passing and super overly taking opponents for idiots - how else would he play a cross pass in a crowd?
Wei Xia said something heart-warming: He had never seen this kind of pass in the 50s and 60s.

Moreover, he is absolutely qualified to say this.

The years of time travel to John Havlicek were not in vain.

Nowitzki was the bait for the third time.

His dribble attacking the basket is just a gesture, seeing his eyes wandering, his pores open, his hands and feet are extremely uncoordinated-he is famously [-] feet tall but has terrible coordination-hands and feet with the ball-even if Hollins completely moved out of position, he would not necessarily force the point?
Nowitzki fully exposed the biggest difference between him and his contemporaries Webber, Garnett, and Duncan.

At least for now, he is not an insider with excellent support ability.

His support is a typical point-to-point approach-the defensive containment brought by the super offense creates opportunities for teammates, because the opponent will be sensitive when they see you holding the ball, and find an open pass when the time comes.

This is the effect of an extremely strong attack.

In the same way, the Sharks are also this type of player.

Their assist numbers look like they're a support team, but the game will tell us all.

Moreover, as an offensive inside core, Nowitzki's current low-post offensive methods are not comprehensive enough and rely too much on touch.Once his touch fails, like tonight, there's not much he can do to help the Mavericks on both ends of the floor.

What makes him so special is that a game as inaccurate as tonight's is rare for him.

Harris lost the ball, and Wei Xia counterattacked along the front.

In the end, Nowitzki was the bait.

The Lakers have come to terms with his non-offensive setup because it's so obvious.Hollins was dead behind him, and Wei Xia saw him sad, so he let Harris go on purpose.

Sure enough, Nowitzki rushed to pass the ball when he saw an open space.

Harris, who lost his mind, made a decisive shot regardless of the timing and his own long-range shooting.

Harris shot a short shot and couldn't even touch the basket, but the Mavericks had a good grasp of the offensive rebound.

Howard, who helped the Mavericks score the first goal of the second half, flew out and forcibly took the offensive rebound from Radmanovic's face.The sleigh man was too concerned about the position, but he didn't see that Harris's ball was a piece of bread that couldn't even touch the basket.

Howard took the offensive rebound, Radmanovich was too slow to react, and by the time he turned around, the opponent had scored a second offense.

"Although they scored points, the Mavericks completely lost their previous spirituality. I think they really want to play and lose today."

Wei Xia brought a cameo as a point guard because Jackson was worried about Smush Parker hitting.

His worry was justified. Parker's thoughts were like flying in a wingsuit. Even its creator didn't know when he would die unexpectedly.

Wei Xia is a lazy point guard.

Since he is now the Lakers' regular starting small forward, he doesn't have to play at the No. [-] position if it is not necessary. Therefore, he no longer remembers many triangle offensive tactics that belong to the No. [-] position.

Because he didn't remember, he couldn't play. He chose the simplest, most direct and least wasteful pass to Kobe.

The Mavericks put up a false defense.

The NBA, which has three seconds of defense, can't explode the true power of zone defense. With the athletic ability of NBA players, it is enough for him to taste the suffocation of zone defense when the ball holder rushes in.

Unfortunately, Kobe is the most unreasonable strong solution formula in the basketball world.

Any trouble, any problem, any tricky defensive formation, give him the ball and heal it.

Bryant dribbled the ball twice, and the Mavericks let Howard single-handedly defend.

Back when Kobe scored 3 points in 62 quarters, he was also his main defense. He couldn't be more familiar with Kobe's offense.

Swish!
He's also familiar with Kobe Bryant's repeated use of the same moves to kill his defense.

The difference becomes the original.

Nowitzki's behavior of using himself as a bait has been seen through by the Lakers. He found that the opponent really dared to let Ryan Hollins defend him alone.

His condition may not be good, and his touch may not be so reliable, but there will never be a second team in the world that allows Hollins and his ilk to defend him alone except for the Lakers.

Honowitzki, who wanted to prove himself from the bottom of his heart, turned over and made a jumper.

The long-lost two-pointer.

Only Nowitzki started to hit two-pointers, he is the super offensive player who can compete with Malone.

Then, somehow, Harris blocked a foul on Wescia.

Wei Xia accepted his fourth foul with a smile, and the Mavericks' guard line had a hidden danger, but the more serious problem was the inside line.

Dirk Nowitzki's hands are cloudy, and Eric Dampier, a top-paid ass wiper and foul blaster and unnoticed ideal hand sanitizer spokesperson, has three fouls on his back.

Compared to allowing Harris to encounter a foul crisis, Wesha is more willing to let Dampier get a fourth foul.

His eyes shot Dampier.

The "smartest Lakers" move the ball over.

All eyes were on him.

"You can't..." Harris was stunned, "You can't pass me..."

Wei Xia refused to give him time to finish his trash talk, so he raised his whip and rode his horse. The opponent's so-called "don't pass my level", under him, actually started to accelerate without false movements and unnecessary shaking, and flung him far away in one breath.

Obviously Dampier is in the penalty area, and Weixia's impact has not diminished but increased.Does he despise Dampier?The answer is no.Dampier does have many shortcomings, but also has advantages that have to be admitted.His defense is indeed top-notch in the league.

It's no big problem if you don't meet Yao Huang, Shark Duncan and others in defense alone, and you can't help defend against Wade Iverson and others.

Mark Cuban is willing to give him a maximum salary contract, partly because he was deceived by the performance of his contract year after year, and partly because they desperately need a man who can stand behind Nowitzki.

Behind every great player, there is a reliable man.

There are several reasons why Wesha decisively rushed to Dampier.

One, Harris, who lost his soul, defended like a flood;
The other, seeing Nowitzki next to Dampier, inexplicably felt that he was full of strength.He may not believe in himself, but he must believe in the Germans—he will definitely do his part to defend against loopholes in the process;

The last reason is that Dampier has committed three fouls. If he can cause his fourth foul, it will make the calf's inside rotation stretched.Nowitz basically doesn't feel good. If even the man standing behind him is knocked off the field, how can the Mavericks win?

With these three points, Wei Xia is going forward!

In the end, Dirk Nowitzki, the man who established the "I don't understand defense, but you don't want to understand" genre star offensive insider, really fulfilled the responsibility of the loophole the moment Weixia killed him.He succeeded in making Dampier have the illusion that Nowitzki could somewhat delay Weixia's impact.

As a result, Wei Xia was like a leaf blown by the wind, soaring to the sky lightly, and reached the limit height in a blink of an eye, his fighting spirit was filled with limitless talent.

At this moment, he is Skywalker!
Dampier, who was confused by Nowitzki, lost the best chance to intercept.Weixia's bullet speed was too fast, and it had reached an incredible level. While Nowitzki pitted his teammates, he performed a salute of attention, but Dampier was unable to fight, and remained motionless like a stone statue.

He let Wei Xia successfully ride on the head, hung his body and slammed into a dunk that made the Mavericks fans feel scared.

The veins on his arms were faintly visible, and only he knew how much strength he exerted.

But the referee wanted to add fire to the perfect dunk.

The whistle came a second and a half late.

The normal 2+1 is to ring the next moment of scoring.

This 2+1 is "score.........beep!".

Dampier roared, he had backed down, and the referee still refused to let him go.

The referee has valid reasons for calling a foul.

Dampier did not stand within a reasonable collision zone.

The roar of the Mavericks cannot change Wei Xia's 2+1 effect.

The coaching staff only replaced Dampier, and then replaced Diop.

In the next 2 minutes, Harris was fouled by Wei Xia, and the game was completely lost.

Since December 12 last year, the Dallas people who have not known what it is like to lose are about to taste the bitter fruit of failure.
