Chapter 244 Torturing Stackhouse

Chapter 244 Torturing Stackhouse

Game start.

The Mavericks switched to Josh Howard to defend He Xinghui and let Terry defend the Clippers' small forward.

After playing a few games, Avery finally decided on the best candidate to defend He Xinghui. Unfortunately, they found out a little too late, and they had already lost two games.

More importantly, although Josh Howard is the best candidate, he cannot defend him.

It's just that if he defends He Xinghui, he can lose fewer points than other defenses.

Faced with this strategy of the Mavericks, the Clippers failed to succeed in two consecutive attacks.

Rose is a misalignment against Terry, but he is not capable enough to take advantage of this misalignment to steadily score points.

With a 4-0 start, Mavericks fans saw hope again.

The Clippers attacked, He Xinghui hit Howard in singles with the ball, and made a fake shot, but Howard gave him a cap.

In this alliance, do people who suffer less have the nerve to be called superstars?

People with more hats are not necessarily stars, but people with fewer hats often means that they have very few shots.

The Mavericks counterattacked and scored two more points.

6:0.

Subsequently, Dunleavy called a timeout and replaced Rose with Mobley.

The meaning of Rose's existence is to stand up for a few minutes when the main force is tired.

The Clippers attacked, and the Mavericks' previous successful defensive strategies suddenly failed.

He Xinghui pulled Josh Howard beyond the three-point line, where the logo was.

Then Mobley and Gasol played a pick-and-roll, and the empty Mavericks were rushed to the basket by Mobley and scored 2 points.

After Mobley came up, the Clippers had an extra offensive point, making it even more difficult for the Mavericks to defend.

Of course, this also means that the Clippers have taken out their hole cards in advance.

When Mobley runs out of energy, the Clippers will be in trouble.

Subsequently, the Clippers and the Mavericks fought back and forth, evenly matched.

With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, the two teams scored 21-20, with the Mavericks leading by 1 point.

Then He Xinghui left the game early to rest, preparing to bring a substitute in the second quarter.

Seeing this, Avery immediately replaced Howard so that Howard could retain his strength.

Avery is going to let Howard and He Xinghui be on the same level. He doesn't care how many points Howard can get, as long as he can reduce He Xinghui's score.

In the first eight minutes or so, Josh Howard did a good job, allowing He Xinghui to score only 6 points.

With He Xinghui, the Clippers were immediately at a disadvantage.

Although He Xinghui didn't score much just now, he is extremely important to the team.

Every time the Mavericks' defensive vanguard is attracted, but from time to time it can force the Mavericks to double-team him.

He alone attracted more than 30% of the Mavericks' defensive power, and it was much easier for other Clippers players to find opportunities to make shots.

When He Xinghui came down, Livingston replaced him. The Mavericks immediately started defending the zone to save energy.

Among the five people on the Clippers field now, except for Mobley who can shoot a three-pointer, everyone else has to hit the basket.

It is very effective to use zone defense to deal with lineups that cannot make three-pointers.

The Clippers attacked, Cassel backed in and arched a few times without arching, and he passed the ball to Livingston who was running.

Livingston rushed to the basket and only took two steps before he found that the road was blocked, and he could only pass the ball to Gasol.

Gasol forced a shot, but was interfered by Nowitzki's help defense, and the ball missed.

"The Clippers rely too much on my cousin. When my cousin is off the court, the offense is like constipation."

Barkley complained.

"After Cousin left the court, the Clippers directly became two teams. The Clippers with Cousin are a fast-paced running and bombing team. The Clippers without Cousin have become a traditional position battle team."

Smith echoed.

"Playing a positional battle with the Mavericks is courting death. The Spurs' positional battle is so good that they are no match for the Mavericks. I have to say that the three-pointer is really important."

Originally, Barkley actually looked down on the soft shooting style outside the three-point line. What he likes is a strong basket, and he believes that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate.

However, this season, He Xinghui has refreshed his cognition.

He found that when a player made a good shot from beyond the arc, it was deadly.

The Mavericks attacked, Terry and Nowitzki cooperated to create a three-point shot opportunity, Terry shot and scored.

Terry was relieved, but also a little embarrassed.

Because, he found that after He Xinghui left the court, the pressure on himself dropped sharply, and his shots became smoother.

This shows that he is very afraid of He Xinghui.

As a man, and a successful man with a successful career, money and fame, Terry felt he had nothing to be afraid of.

However, the reality is that he is afraid.

Therefore, even if he scored a three-pointer, Terry couldn't be happy.

The Clippers attacked and Gasol made a two-pointer from the basket.

The Clippers' scoring efficiency in positional battles has plummeted, but it doesn't mean they can't score points. Gasol is also a star after all, and his success rate in singles is relatively guaranteed.

In turn, the Mavericks repeated the same trick, and the Clippers were forced to defend very outside. Terry hoisted the ball to the basket, and Nowitzki caught the ball and put it easily into the basket.

"I think, now no one will say that my cousin's defense is bad."

Buckley said.

In the past, He Xinghui's defense was often complained by the media.

There is no way, the offense is too sharp, so I can only complain about the defense.

There are so many complaints that many impressionable fans feel that He Xinghui's defense is terrible.

However, as far as the current situation on the court is concerned, it can be proved that He Xinghui's defense is very good, at least when defending the outside line.

As for defending against the inside line, no one would be so insane as to make such excessive demands on He Xinghui.

Barkley's words won the approval of the majority of star fans, fans hope that their idols are perfect.

On the court, the game continues.

The Clippers failed to attack, and Livingston hit the iron.

The Mavericks counterattacked and scored another two points.

Dunleavy frowned off the court, scolding his mother in his heart.

3 minutes, can't even last 3 minutes?
It would be ridiculous to replace He Xinghui at this time, and his operation after the game will definitely be a topic of ridicule by others.

Therefore, Dunleavy could only hold on.

In the end, by the end of the first quarter, the score was 31-25.

In the 3 minutes without He Xinghui, the Clippers lost by 5 points.

After a short intermission, the second quarter began.

The Clippers are Livingston, He Xinghui, Rose, Singleton, Vladimir.

Mavericks here are Marshall, Stackhouse, Josh Howard, Daniels, Dampier.

When the Clippers attacked, it was Josh Howard who defended He Xinghui.

When the Mavericks attacked, He Xinghui defended Stackhouse.

This made Stackhouse very unhappy, because it is more difficult to hurt someone on offense, and the best time to hurt an opponent is on defense.

Those players are often forced to make some difficult moves without protection when attacking. At this time, giving the opponent a little bit can make the opponent unable to eat.

It's a pity that Avery didn't trust Stackhouse's defense and handed over the heavy responsibility of defending He Xinghui to Josh Howard.

This made Stackhouse's wounding plan not easy to implement.

He had no choice but to wait patiently for the opportunity.

For the Clippers' offense, He Xinghui didn't use props. Although he is still stronger than Howard, he won't single Howard every round because he has a better chance.

In the lineup of the Mavericks, except for Howard, the defense at other positions is a loophole in He Xinghui's eyes.

He Xinghui called Singleton to help him cover, and after throwing Howard away, He Xinghui directly charged Daniels.

Daniels was so nervous that he was sweating, but He Xinghui rushed over.

He Xinghui, who rushed to the basket, made a simple layup and scored the ball.

He has to play for a long time in this game, so he can save as much energy as he can.

When it was the Mavericks' turn to attack, the Clippers had a headache.

The Clippers lineup has more loopholes.

Howard squeezed Rose aside directly after receiving the ball, and used a LeBron James-style offensive method to rush to the basket and score two points.

He Xinghui could only watch helplessly from a distance. He couldn't go to help defend, and Stackhouse was not a vegetarian.

If the opponent doesn't hit him, his single-defense ability will not be able to be used.

He Xinghui felt that this couldn't go on like this. If he couldn't guard against the opponent, no matter how many points he scored, he couldn't even out the difference.

So, He Xinghui began to stimulate Stackhouse, hoping that this guy would take the initiative to hold the ball to hit him.

"Jerry, how many points are you averaging this series?"

He Xinghui made a friendly inquiry.

"Little bastard, I know you want to laugh at my low score, but I don't care."

Stackhouse cursed.

"Laugh, I don't need me. When other teams refuse to give you a contract, when you are ignored, when you run out of money and go bankrupt, life will laugh at you severely."

He Xinghui laughed.

The truth always hurts.

Stockhouse can ignore He Xinghui's ridicule, but he can't ignore the next contract.

The contract is largely determined by data and performance.

In the next round, Stackhouse, who said he didn't care, asked for the ball very honestly.

Marshall passed the ball. After all, Stackhouse has always been the main attacker during the bench time.

However, Marshall ignored a situation. Today Stackhouse is facing He Xinghui.

"Damn it, this log."

Avery off the court was scolding his mother, scolding Marshall for not judging the situation.

Stackhouse hit He Xinghui forcefully, left and right, frontal and back, all methods were used, but he didn't find a good chance to make a move.

Seeing that the attack time was approaching, passing the ball at this time was tantamount to throwing the blame, so Stackhouse simply forced the shot himself.

After all, he was the one who almost won the scoring title. This kind of people are more confident than ordinary players because they have made many difficult shots.

Unfortunately, time is not forgiving.

Under the interference of He Xinghui, Stackhouse made a shot and hit the iron.

"Jerry, don't shoot. The scarier thing than scoring fewer points is taking more shots while scoring fewer points."

He Xinghui smiled and took out the silver needle, and stabbed it at Stockhouse.

Madefake.

Stackhouse cursed in his heart, but didn't respond.

Responding at this time is nothing but self-inflicted humiliation.

In the next round, the Mavericks attacked. This time, Stackhouse learned to be smart. Instead of going tough on He Xinghui, he ran wildly and used the cover of his teammates to get rid of He Xinghui.

The Clippers could only switch defenses, Stackhouse hit Livingston, forced a breakthrough and shot.

Livingston had no choice but to foul to stop it.

Subsequently, Stackhouse went to the free throw line.

When Stackhouse took the ball and was about to make a free throw, He Xinghui, who was standing in front of him on the left, pinched his nose: "Jerry, do you have toilet paper?"

The Clippers players couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

Because Stackhouse's free throw posture is particularly like squatting in a latrine, his legs are almost bent to the maximum extent.

Regarding the ugliest free throw players in the league, Stackhouse can be ranked in the top three.

Hearing this, Stackhouse could not wait to throw the basketball in his hand at He Xinghui.

He also knows that this posture is not beautiful, but he can't help it. He has the highest free throw percentage with this posture, which is above 86% all year round.

Stackhouse collected himself, trying to clear his mind.

However, when a person deliberately wants to forget something, he has already repeated it in his mind.

As said in Inception, when you want to forget the elephant, the elephant is already in your mind.

Stackhouse wanted to forget He Xinghui's humiliation, but he still couldn't.

Helpless, he could only make a move, after all, the referee started to urge him.

Unfortunately, the penalty was missed.

"This free throw really stinks."

He Xinghui made a pun, and Stackhouse cursed angrily, "Try saying something again."

"This free throw really stinks."

He Xinghui said.

Seeing that Stackhouse was about to go berserk, the referee quickly stopped between the two, and at the same time the referee also issued a warning to He Xinghui: "He, it's fine to talk trash at other times, please be quiet when others make free throws. Then I will see you as a challenger and give you a technical offender."

He said this purely for Stackhouse, in order to appease Stackhouse's emotions.

After all, Stackhouse was so wronged that he was almost impatient.

He Xinghui accepted it as soon as he saw it, and Stackhouse, who was taken care of, finally calmed down.

He made his second free throw.

The veteran has an obvious characteristic, that is, other aspects are declining, but free throws are as stable as ever.

If it wasn't for being interfered just now, Stackhouse basically made two free throws.

The Clippers attacked, He Xinghui hit Howard with the ball, and Stackhouse suddenly stepped forward to double-team.

This is not the coach's arrangement, but it is normal for players not to play according to tactics. After all, the court is changing rapidly, and an excellent player needs to make his own judgment based on the situation.

If the judgment is correct, it is an excellent player, and if the judgment is wrong, it is a disobedient cancer.

He Xinghui gave the ball to Rose, who rushed to the basket and scored two points.

Faced with the Mavericks' substitute, Rose's performance looked like he was qualified again.

The Mavericks attacked, and Stackhouse wanted to repeat the same trick, but this time He Xinghui was not thrown away.

Stackhouse fell into a strong fight again, and the result was naturally a strike.

After a few rounds, the Clippers tied the score.

Then, Avery immediately called a timeout, replaced Stackhouse and others, and the main players came on.
