Chapter 595 Critical moment, tactical choice
1-2 behind, this is dangerous for the Nuggets.

The last home game is the Tianwangshan battle, nothing will happen, if it is scored 1-3, then there will be no suspense in the second round of the playoffs.

The Mavericks are united and vowed to win the game.

"The overall strength of the Nuggets team is still lacking. They still have the big contract they signed before, and they can't reinforce it. Therefore, as long as we limit the performance of the role players, we will win this game."

Coach Carlisle is confident.

In fact, coach Carlisle's tactical effect is also obvious, and he has a clear advantage against the Tunneling team.

After the game, the team had a dinner together.

After dinner, free to rest.

Qin Yang took the ball and arrived at the basketball court. There was no one on the basketball court. After playing for a day, everyone else had a rest.

Such as playing games, playing poker and so on.

As long as it is not an activity that is particularly exhausting and affects the competitive state, the team will not stop it at all.

But on the basketball court, there is another person who keeps dribbling and shooting.

"Hey, Dirk, I didn't expect you to be training here."

Qin Yang stepped forward to greet Dirk Nowitzki. Dirk smiled and threw the basketball out, followed by the sound of the basketball and the net.

"Beautiful, Dirk!"

Qin Yang praised, and then quickly shot a three-pointer.

One after the other, the two began to shoot mid-range and long-range shots.

This shot started, and within five or six minutes, the two of them stopped at the same time.

Shooting, dribbling, layups... Both of them are doing the simplest and basic training, which most amateur players can do.

The two didn't talk much to each other either.

After training, the two dispersed and returned to the hotel.

The next day, the game continued.

In this game, the Mavericks have a new idea.

The starter Gobert was taken down and replaced by Nowitzki. This is Nowitzki's first start after being injured for more than half a year.

Qin Yang, Vince Carter, Corey Brewer and Al Jefferson played in a four-person partnership.

In this way, the Mavericks' starting lineup is very reasonable.

Jump ball, still the Nuggets win.

Darko did not use post-up singles when facing Nowitzki. Darko's post-up singles were not that good, but Gobert was targeted because of his poor strength.

Lifting the ball, Darko made a three-threat move.

This is a defender's move.

Nowitzki was unmoved, Darko jumped up and shot, and the basketball fell steadily into the basket.

With such a tall height, he can make such moves and shoot like this. Few people in the entire NBA can do it.

In addition to Darko, Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis have also done well.

The Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki and Qin Yang picked and rolled.

With this pick and roll, there is a lot of space to shoot.

As the power forward with the strongest shooting ability in NBA history, Nowitzki is simply desperate, and the Nuggets dare not let go.

Qin Yang made a breakthrough, but Darko still followed Nowitzki.

It was empty in front of me.

Qin Yang broke through Iguodala and quickly pursued him, Qin Yang stopped his shot urgently.Iguodala jumped up quickly and was fouled by Qin Yang.

What's even more amazing is that the basketball easily hits the board and hits the net.

2 + 1.
In the past two years, Qin Yang's shooting has become more and more superb. Following the training of some of the greatest players in the NBA in the future, Qin Yang's rebounding is getting better and better.

It seemed that Qin Yang threw the ball at random in the end, but the hit rate was good.

The Nuggets attacked, and Darko responded in a high position.

Nowitzki needs to defend Darko in the high post, and as long as the others cut, the Mavericks are undefended inside. This tactic is most common in the Spurs.

Gallinari caught the ball directly for a layup.

Qin Yang made a quick layup and interfered under the basket.

But Gallinari was smart and hit the board with a hook.

1v1 hit the basket, Qin Yang's defense was not successful.

But a defense is better than no defense.

The Mavericks' offense was still a screen. Qin Yang passed a pass to Nowitzki, and Nowitzki made a fake fax and scored a layup.

The rest of the Mavericks ran and attracted the defense.

Tactically, neither team has a problem.

At this point in the game, the strength of the players and the team's tactics have been fully understood.

It is basically impossible to win by surprise.

Unless a certain player breaks out suddenly.

Therefore, the key depends on the performance of the players.

Dirk's role for the Mavericks became obvious at this time.Before Qin Yang came, Dirk had been selected into the 180 club. His shooting ability was terrifying, and his shot selection was extremely reasonable. Although he was injured this season, his strength is still there.

In other words, Dirk's strength is not as strong as before.

Really let Dirk lead the team, the Mavericks will lose no suspense.

But with Qin Yang around, which attracted most of the defense, Dirk found an opportunity. In the first quarter of the game, he went 4-for-3 and directly launched a wave of offense.

After the Nuggets paused and strengthened their defense against Dirk, Qin Yang increased his shots and assisted his teammates at the same time.

The Nuggets couldn't stand it.

The Nuggets are not weak, and Iguodala can also hit. Even though most of his energy is distracted on the defensive end, he still contributes his strength on the offensive end.

Gallinari also played well, and he made very good shots and layups.

The difference between the two teams did not widen.

In the 8th minute, Nowitzki and Vince Carter left the field and replaced Calderon and Marion, and the team's tactics changed again.

Except for Al Jefferson in the interior, everyone else is sent by the fast break.

Although Marion was old, he could still run.

Calderon's defense is weak, but his three-pointers and offensive organization are very stable.

Qin Yang turned into a shooting guard and began to score crazily and attract defenses, constantly switching with and without the ball. Qin Yang scored 11 points and 3 assists in a single quarter.

The Mavericks led by 9 point.

In the 9 minutes of the second quarter, Qin Yang went off, leaving Seth Curry, Casspi, Vince Carter, Corey Brewer and Gobert on the court.

At this time, the Mavericks played fast breaks completely, and the Tunneling team was beaten out in waves.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Mavericks led by 14 points.

But at this time, Iguodala and Darko played successively, and the situation of the game changed again. The Nuggets chased for 8 points in a row, and the Mavericks led by only 6 points.

At the critical moment, Qin Yang played again.

Nowitzki and Gobert partnered inside, and the Mavericks began a life-and-death battle with the Nuggets.

The Nuggets' tactics are a bit stiff, and there is not enough pass and cut cooperation. The critical moment is to look at the singles of Darko and Iguodala. Except for the two of them, the others are not stable enough.

That's right, at the critical moment, look at the superstars.

The Mavericks also play in this way, but the difference between each other is very different.

Darko really played Nowitzki with the ball in singles. After failing to make a breakthrough, he played back singles, then turned around for a layup, hit the rebound and shot, and the basketball was difficult to hit the net.

Qin Yang played singles with the ball, passed back after the screen, and then moved again.

The Mavericks used two people to cover and use elevator tactics. Qin Yang easily caught the ball from the outside and hit a three-pointer.

A simple and effective tactic is often more threatening than singles.
