Chapter 232 It's all messed up

Scoring an extremely exciting goal, the Knicks dragged the game back to the normal track again, and the second half is definitely very interesting.Moreover, in just one first half, he scored more than 70 points in double serves, which is rare in the history of the NBA.Of course, it's just rare, and it doesn't constitute a record.

For example, in the 90-91 season, in a game between the Suns and the Nuggets, the Suns set a record of 107 points in the first half of the game. It is estimated that this record will not be broken for a while.

But even though the record was not broken, this high score was enough to drive the fans crazy.Throughout the intermission, many fans who didn't go to buy food stayed in their seats singing and dancing.It seems that their calculations are more precise. With such a score, there must be a big burger waiting for them.

For Lao Hu's last goal, Thomas naturally wanted to exaggerate, saying that he had his style back then, and the two also discussed some technical details.It seems that Lao Hu has also received personal guidance from NBA celebrities, and it doesn't cost extra money!

The Knicks have a peaceful atmosphere, while the atmosphere on the Mavericks side is not too tense. After all, they have been winning, and they are leading the score now, although the lead is a little less.

"Gentlemen! Haven't you all forgotten what I've been emphasizing? Defense! We need to defend! We've done a good job on the stand-off, the stats tell me the opponent doesn't have a lot of fast breaks, but the run on the screen We gave them too much space when they were in the position, which is very bad! Gentlemen, we must hurry up and don't let them get a good position so easily!..."

I have to say that 'Little General' Johnson is still very accurate in seeing the problem. The Mavericks' defense is indeed not doing well. Although the Knicks have played a good offense recently, they scored 70 points in the half, which is really unprecedented.

It's just that the players below listened carefully, and their ends were all lit, but there were not many who really took it to heart.

In fact, after Avery Johnson took over the Mavericks, the first thing he emphasized was defense. This is the biggest difference between him and his predecessor, the "mad scientist" Nelson.

Old Nelson's Mavericks, to be honest, are no slower than the current Suns and Warriors, and their offensive success rate is higher, but they can't go further in the playoffs.As for the little general, he himself played for the Spurs, and to put it bluntly, he played under Popovich.The reason why he is called the little general is because this guy can discuss tactical issues with Popovich when he is a player, and in the Spurs, he is the helmsman, which means he is the commander.So what is the name of a man who commands 'Captain' David Robinson?So, the little general called out, can the general command the colonel?

The little general emphasizes defense. When he was a player in the Spurs, he understood the reason why defense makes the team win, and he really learned a lot from Popovich.In addition, the offense of the Mavericks is no problem at all. The team has many strengths, staffing, and player abilities, all of which are top-notch.

This is why he took over the Mavericks, and it didn't take long for him to play well. He took office halfway in the first year, won the NBA's best coach in the second year, and led the team to the NBA Finals in the same year. finals.

However, there is a problem here, that is, the old Nelson's system is still there, and the "mad scientist" left a lot of things in the Mavericks.That is the crazy attack of the Mavericks, which is the running and bombing mentioned earlier.

'Run and bomb' is now said to be a small ball tactic, and it is said to be a fast offense represented by the Suns.True, but in the beginning, the word, RUN-AND-GUN, referred to a fluid style of play.This term used to describe the Lakers in the 80s and the Bulls in the 90s, but in the 21st century, it has changed.

Judging from the above statement, in fact, "running and bombing" does not mean not defending. The inside defense of the Lakers and Bulls back then was very commendable.However, the new era has given this word a new meaning.

What are you talking about?That is to say, the little general's idea, what he wants is to restore the previous style of play of the Lakers or Bulls.

Yes, this idea is very good and correct.Originally, the Mavericks had a strong offensive ability, so with the addition of defense, this team has the capital to win the championship, and offense and defense, in fact, in the original "running and bombing", there is no contradiction at all .

However, the current Mavericks, or the current "running and bombing", contradicts defense.

To be honest, the current Mavericks players are unwilling to play defense, because this defense really conflicts with their offensive tactics, 'bombing'.

This is actually no wonder the players, there were no conflicts before, it was because in the 80s and 90s, the NBA at that time was not as fast, so high, and so strong as it is now.At that time, the "running and bombing" was naturally not as perverted as it is today, because they had the physical strength to defend, but the Mavericks' offensive speed now, and then defending, it is really tiring.

The current "running and bombing" is a double-edged sword, which drags down the opponent and also drags down oneself.

In short, the current Mavericks are like this. Although the coach emphasizes defense, the players can only show a positive attitude. It is really difficult to really defend the opponent desperately.

But it doesn't matter, the Mavericks have been winning now, so what if the defense is not good?I just need to score more goals than my opponent.

"The players from both sides are back on the court, and the second half is about to start. Mr. Xu, can you tell everyone what to watch in the second half?" Yu Jia hurriedly asked Mr. Xu to comment on it before the start of the second half .

"Hehe, from the perspective of the first half, the Knicks should pay attention to defense, at least keep up with their opponents. And the Mavericks actually lost their touch in the late second quarter. This is probably the Knicks. Si's opportunity, let's see if they can seize it. In addition, let's see whose physical strength is better..."

Teacher Xu talked for a while, and the game over there was about to start, and Yu Jia also came out to remind everyone, everyone should watch the game.

This time it was the Mavericks who attacked first, the first ball, and their style of play was still very conventional, looking for their most certain point, that is, Nowitzki.

Bang!Although Nowitzki's shooting is defensive, it doesn't mean that the ball never hits the iron. It's still very interesting to hit it occasionally.

Fighting for rebounds inside, Nate got it so hard that he couldn't die, and this guy immediately started a fast break.

However, the Mavericks retreated very quickly. They are all able to run, and they will definitely not suffer in terms of speed.

"Is there a chance for a fast break? It's the frontcourt. Now it's three-on-three, hey! Start!..." Yu Jia observed carefully, and the field has indeed changed.

Nate shook his body and made a one-stop layup!

boom!Swish!
Little Tudou suddenly accelerated, caught Jason Terry by surprise, and scored two points with a layup.

"WOWOWOO!" Just one point away, isn't that enough to drive the fans crazy?Among other things, if the Knicks can really kill the Mavericks at home, it will definitely be the headlines of the next day!
"I love this little guy!" Frazier, who was watching the game from the sidelines, yelled into the microphone.

"Is this your confidence?" Spike Lee yelled at Cuban at this time. Although they were in a very noisy environment, the two were not far away. The teams they support are very close together.

For Spike Lee's sarcasm, Cuban couldn't get off the stage, and his face was a little red. "You will see! You will!"

After dropping this sentence, Cuban immediately found the little general, and the two immediately whispered a few words.Next, the little general took advantage of a dead ball to find Terry, and the two also whispered a few words, but this should be a message to the players in the field.What the two of them said, others really don't know.

The ball was poked out of the sideline by Lao Hu just now, but this also made the little general find the boss and tell the players on the field what the boss meant.

Serve again, now the Mavericks don't have much time, they only have 8 seconds, but this is enough for the Mavericks.

Nowitzki pulled out the pick-and-roll, Terry cut directly, but soon, the basketball returned to Nowitzki's hands.

Swish!Three points hit!The ball took only 6 seconds before and after.

72 to 76, the Knicks trailed by four points.

It's no big deal, just call back!

Lao Hu is still looking for cooperation, he still hopes to let the whole team participate, and he also controlled the rhythm, because he knows that if he really wants to win, he cannot follow the rhythm of the Mavericks.

The opportunity came out, and after some passing, the basketball was handed over to Curry.The Sharks succeeded in attacking inside, but the No. [-] center in the West still couldn't do much.

74 to 76, the scores of the two sides are very close.

It's just that after this ball, the situation on the court suddenly changed!

In the next game, the Mavericks' offense did not change much, but their defense was not the same as before.It's not that they strengthened the inside defense or double-teamed things, but that they strengthened the steals in the positional defense.

From the point of view of the scene, that is to say, the defensive players other than the guards and defenders all adopt a defensive posture of almost three-quarters around the front, which is clearly a gambling steal, but this sudden change, but It made the Knicks very uncomfortable!

Gambling steals may not be effective, but the opponent is competing with your athletic ability, and the Mavericks want to disrupt the situation and turn it into a chaotic battle.

Chaotic battles are the same for both sides, but judging from the situation on the court, the Mavericks are more adaptable.

From Hu Lin's point of view, the whole scene is in chaos now, not only the Mavericks are fighting, but the Knicks are also in chaos!
