Bishop: since 1998

Chapter 231 Mavericks, where sensibility and charm lie!
"Pausing and interrupting is not enough, coach, it's better to press for a while later, improve the defensive intensity, and distract the Mavericks' offensive focus..."

Back off the court, Kidd immediately made a suggestion.

"This can be.

You just adapt to the circumstances, anyway, remember, the Magic are invincible. "

Li Mu did not reject Kidd's proposal. After all, Kidd played in the Mavericks and the Suns. He is definitely the most familiar with the running and bombing team.

The timeout ends and the game resumes.

In the face of the Magic's full-court pressing, Nash responded calmly, but the Mavericks' mental power was dispersed, and part of it was used to move the ball and get rid of the pressing body.

Instead of just focusing on offensive shots.

Soon, the Mavericks' wave of flow was broken, which could not last for a long time. Due to the strengthening of physical fitness and defensive confrontation, the shooting rate began to decline.

The Magic strengthened their defense, and their offensive firepower was not affected. After all, they played at the basket, and the Mavericks were still an undefended team.

Moreover, as the number of shots made by the Mavericks increased, the Magic's counterattack and fast break also played well.

The score difference was widened again.

This is the lifeblood of an offensive team.

The attack exploded wildly, and the opponent could be blasted to death. After being successfully targeted by the defense, Ji Ba started to make random shots again.

And when you float to the outside to shoot, if you can't make a shot, you really have nothing, no rebounds, no free throws, and let your opponent kill you.

The wind direction of the game quickly turned to the Magic.

In other words, this is the sensibility and charm of the Mavericks.

Whoever the Mavericks play against, even if they fall behind by 20 points, they have a chance to recover, or even take the game away with a wave.

Of course, when you are unlucky, sometimes the game will be played inexplicably. It is obvious that the Mavericks are leading the score, but they are still attacking desperately.

He has always punched out with his fists, not protecting himself.

As a result, the Mavericks' game led by 20 points, and the game was still not over. There was still suspense, and the opponent still had the possibility of chasing it back.

With 82 games to play in the regular season, the style of the Mavericks really makes a difference.

In the playoffs, the Mavericks will not go far if they lose the game and go home to fish.

After a wave of goals, it is a wave of strikes.

The Magic easily stretched the score to more than double digits.

It is impossible for Nelson to change this style of play. He will always have the ultimate offensive winning style in his head.

Tactics are never something he considers. If the players on the field can't play well, he decides to make substitutions.

Wang Zhizhi and Danny Manning were replaced.

Both are players who can shoot.

Next, Wang Zhizhi also started to shoot three-pointers crazily, hardly two-pointers, and the efficiency was not high.

When the game time reached the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, the Magic had expanded the point difference to 5 points.

The Mavericks could only grab three points.

The Magic didn't defend either, and continued to fight against the Mavericks. The Mavericks started to press hard.

The effect may not be as effective as Popovich's timeout tactic in the future, but it is enough for the Magic to win the game steadily.

hum~
With the sound of the buzzer, the game time is over.

The score was 135 to 121, and the Magic had a 14-point advantage, defeating the Mavericks and extending the winning streak to 17 games.

基德轰下28分13助攻7篮板3封盖2抢断，碰上纳什，得分想不好都非常难。

Duncan scored 29 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. When he met the softie Novitzs, his data would not be that bad.

Tracy McGrady scored only 19 points. No way, the only player the Mavericks can defend is Finley.

Jermaine O'Neal had 16 points and 7 rebounds, and Reed had 12 points... a more blooming situation.

Nash scored 23 points, 13 assists and 2 rebounds, Novitzs scored 29 points and 6 rebounds, Finley scored 22 points and 5 rebounds, and the Three Musketeers scored 74 points. The Magic are not wronged.

……

April 12, Life Bankers Arena.

The Magic challenged the Pacers away.

8 wins and 9 losses!
In the second year of reconstruction, the Pacers had a hard time and had the strength to hit the playoffs.

It's not because the Pacers are strong, but because everyone in the Eastern Conference is having a hard time.

The Pacers are nothing more than billions of points better than everyone else.

Strength is the same thing.

Especially since Jermaine O'Neal was intercepted, the Pacers had no choice but to speed up the pace of signing Artest.

Just as the Bulls were willing to make a move, Artest also came to the Pacers ahead of schedule.

During the simple appearance and warm-up, on the big screen in the arena, the starting lineups of both sides for tonight's match were displayed.

Magic 5, Kidd, McGrady, Jackson, Duncan, O'Neal.

The Pacers start, Jalen Rose, Reggie Miller, Artest, Al Harrington, Jeff Foster.

On the jump ball, Duncan beat Foster to give the Pacers the first possession.

Kidd waited for his teammates to get in the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to Duncan.

"Harrington was completely overwhelmed, and Duncan hit a two-pointer..."

Mike Breen explained.

"Using Harrington to defend against Duncan is simply looking for death. I really don't know what Thomas is thinking?" Albert the groom shook his head and said.

On the field.

The Pacers attack.

Jaylen Rose held the ball in the frontcourt to observe, and he had no idea of ​​singled out Kidd.

Reggie Miller and Harrington hit a screen.

Get rid of McGrady, catch the ball outside the three-point line, jump up, shoot...

Swish-!
2 to 3! !
Reggie Miller's three-pointer is very reliable.

Exquisite off-the-ball movement, making people hard to guard against.

Looking back, Kidd continued to fight Duncan here, and Harrington was hard to parry just once they met.

Artest rushed over to help defend, but Duncan didn't make a strong play, and passed the basketball out. Jackson, who came in with an air cut, dribbled one step, pulled the ball up, dunked with the tomahawk, and blasted the basketball into the basket.

4 to 3! !
At the same time, Duncan's role as a superstar on the court is fully reflected.

The single defense is blown up, flanking Duncan, and splitting the ball is an excellent scoring opportunity.

Jaylen Rose was not seriously injured. He held the ball and charged Kidd. After being blocked from a breakthrough, he directly pulled the ball up. Taking advantage of his height, he made an emergency stop for two points and shot a fallback jumper...

Bang-dang-!
Two-point strike and missed.

Don't look at Jaylen Rose averaging 20 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds per game in this game.

The shooting percentage is only 36%, the real four-up three-iron.

The offensive efficiency is bad, and the high scoring depends on high shots and breakthrough fouls.

This season, his free throws are the highest of his career.

In the future, as soon as Jalen Rose left the Pacers, his record took off immediately.

The rebound was taken by O'Neal.

The Pacers have Artest, Reggie Miller and Jaylen Rose on the perimeter. The trio on the perimeter has the strength of the league's top five.

Without Jr. O'Neal inside, his strength is much weaker.

Being targeted on the inside in a row, the Pacers began to shrink their defense and guard their basket.
