Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 270
"It's almost unbelievable what the Cavaliers have accomplished this season.

They were able to beat the Heat and Pistons to rank first in the Eastern Conference.

So, how does the Mavericks prepare to deal with the next game? "

Interview before the game.

After hearing this question, Mavericks coach Avery Johnson had no waves on his face, and even wanted to laugh a little.

Do the Mavericks need to prepare for their game against the Cavaliers?

Avery would love to say, there is no need for it!
The Cavaliers' schedule after the start of the game is simply dead easy, so it is not surprising to be able to achieve such results.

As for what beats the Heat and the Pistons, that is simply a joke.

In the NBA, it's not that the record is higher than the strength must be stronger.

Many teams aspiring to compete for the championship will not go all out in the regular season.

As long as they can stay healthy and not be troubled by injuries, they will show terrifying dominance in the playoffs.

For example, last year's defending champion Spurs ranked third in the Western Conference this season, and ranked sixth in the league.

But ESPN still lists them as the biggest favorites to win the championship.

There is this reason here!
Avery is also sure that if the Mavericks want to make a difference this season, they must treat the Spurs as their imaginary enemy.

If they want to rush out of the West, they must also beat the Spurs!
"The Cavaliers' offense is very concentrated, except for Zhao Hao and James, they don't have a second player who can stand out.

Therefore, it is also easy to defend such a team.

Just look at Zhao Hao and James. "

After recovering, Avery said confidently.

American Airlines Center.

The big screen at the scene quickly displayed the starting lineups of both sides.

The Mavericks' starting point guard is Jets Jason Terry, shooting guard Adrian Griffin, small forward Josh Howard, power forward Dirk Nowitzki and center Desa Gaina Diop.

Seeing this lineup, Zhao Hao's eyes were full of envy.

Jason Terry naturally needless to say, the offensive end is full of deterrence.

This season, his average three-point shooting percentage has also reached a terrifying 41%.

And Nowitzki, the silver horn king, is now the inside offensive killer in the league.

In terms of scoring average per game among all insiders, he ranks first, even 4 points higher than the second-ranked Yao.

And small forward Josh Howard is also a future All-Star player, averaging 15 points and 7 rebounds per game this season.

In addition, the Mavericks bench also sits two-time All-Star Jerry Stackhouse, defensive titans Eric Dampier and Devin Harris.

I have to admit that their lineup configuration is even better than that of the Heat.

Boss Ku is really willing to spend money!

Game start.

Big Z still relied on his long arms to win the ball.

James attacked with the ball, but he was stunned after halftime.

Because Josh Howard of the Mavericks retreated near the free throw line, giving him a full two meters of offensive space.

"James hasn't been a great three-point shooter this season, only 32 percent.

Compared with his terrifying 60% shooting rate at the basket, this threat is almost non-existent.

Therefore, the Mavericks obviously let James shoot. "

Kenny Smith, who saw this scene, said with a smile.

With the Cavaliers winning more and more this season, teams around the league are now taking a serious look at them.

The Cavaliers are indeed no longer the team that can win casually.

So, these teams need to do more if they want to win the game.

And James' shooting ability is definitely a point that can make a big fuss.

The Mavericks seized on this point.

"Don't hesitate, vote when you get the chance!"

Seeing that Lao Zhan hesitated in such a situation, Zhao Hao encouraged him loudly.

Just kidding, if you don't shoot in such a large space, those teams will only continue to deal with James even more in the future.

And because of the shrinkage of defensive players, if James does not shoot, the offensive pressure of other teammates will become particularly high.

Moreover, Zhao Hao wanted to say that the Cavaliers are not an offensive team!
Mike Brown is basically the type of coach who doesn't understand offense and doesn't let others understand.

Therefore, if other teams really start to defend like this, he has no solution at all.

On the court, Lao Zhan quickly figured this out, and directly used the jumping shot that he had been practicing for a while.

Take a dribble, a couple of dribbles, fake a drive, then collect and shoot.

Zhao Hao couldn't bear to look directly at him from the sidelines.

You silly, the defensive players are half a foot away from you, and you even played fake moves, and the shot is over!
Duang!

It's hard.

Jason Terry took the rebound and made a quick break, but Zhao Hao, who returned to the defense in time, quickly blocked it.

Then he handed it over to Nowitzki to start playing positional warfare.

It's Drew Gooden defending the Silver Horn King
This shit, Gooden is almost half a head shorter than Nowitzki, how can we prevent this.

A golden rooster is independent, and the goal is scored!

James has the ball again, then takes a nervous look at Josh Howard.

Sure enough, this guy still chose to put two meters away to defend.

Zhao Hao is too aware of James' temperament.

If the first three-pointer is scored, then there is no doubt, he will definitely make another three-pointer next time.

If you go in again, continue until you hit the iron.

And if the first three-pointer is not made, then it is very likely that Lao Zhan will not make another shot throughout the game.

Therefore, Zhao Hao knew without thinking that Lao Zhan would definitely choose to break through next.

But this is in the hands of the Mavericks!

At this time, three defensive players, Nowitzki, center Diop and Josh Howard, stood on the inside.

As long as James goes in, it will be surrounded by several people!
"LeBron, don't make me look down on you, where did all your workouts go?

As long as he dares to let go, you can vote as much as you want, the big deal is that you don't want to win this game, we can afford to lose! "

what!
Yup!

The Cavaliers are now No. [-] in the East, so what a big deal it is to lose a game!
After thinking of this, James no longer hesitated, so what if he lost this game.

Anyway, with the current strength of the Cavaliers, there is no problem at all in making the playoffs.

And it's still in the first half of the game, and it's not time to pick an opponent at all.

Therefore, losing a game will not affect the team's strategy.

Then if you want to die, you can vote, whoever is afraid of whom!

Duang!

Strike the iron again.

James was upset after shooting.

This f*cking plot is not arranged like this!

How can I shoot such a high jump shot during training, and then be so fucked up in the game!
The Mavericks fought back again.

It's just that Zhao Hao still returned to defense early, blocking this fast break.

"The Mavericks' offense is at the top of the league, and their turnover rate is well controlled.

Therefore, it is difficult for James and I to have a fast break opportunity when facing them.

If Lao Zhan still can't open the situation beyond the three-point line, then there may be no suspense about the outcome of this duel. "

After thinking of this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but glanced at the dejected James.

He knew that Lao Zhan was starting to retreat again.

If he didn't do something, it is estimated that this foolish man would not have shot another three-pointer in this game!
This will also greatly affect James' future shooting confidence!

So, Zhao Hao walked over directly and said.

"I'm going to go back and stop the Mavericks from running, and you roll up your sleeves and shoot.

If you don't shoot 20 three-pointers in this game, I will never practice three-pointers with you again. "
