Chapter 328 Victory over the Lakers
Five three-pointers!
Veteran Jones has hit a total of five three-pointers so far in this game, and he only took five shots.

Five out of five shots!

Extremely terrifying hit rate, it can be said that when you get the ball, you can make a shot.

But the former Lakers veteran actually only got five shots today, but he grasped all of them. Eddie Jones' current state is simply a godsend to kill gods and demons to block and kill demons!
In fact, according to Lao Hu's own understanding, judging from the current NBA data, this veteran is still ranked above Jason Terry in terms of three-pointers made.

Looking at it this way, the Mavericks are basically a team of three-point shooters. Of course, their style of play is more straightforward and faster.

However, in this game, the unexpected performance of veteran Eddie Jones still had a big impact.

This was really an accident. Even though Eddie Jones had a basket, no one expected him to perform so well this time.And this directly caused the head coach of the Lakers, Phil Jackson, to be caught off guard.

In the pre-match preparations, he definitely thought of the Mavericks' three-pointers, but such a veteran came out and hit three-pointers frequently, which was unexpected by the 'Zen Master'. Therefore, in terms of defensive arrangements, his actions were much later. Now that Jones has hit three three-pointers in a row in the third quarter, this problem is really difficult to solve.

It's not easy to solve, mainly because of Kobe.Kobe is very paranoid about winning. He is more aggressive and likes to compete with others, but Kobe is the main attacker and he needs physical strength to attack.However, defense is a physically demanding job, which is why many coaches don't match their aces against the opponent's aces.

But now I'm depressed, because the extraordinary performance of the veteran Jones will definitely make Kobe's fighting spirit hot, so this guy will definitely take the initiative to defend the old guy Jones closely.With Kobe's character, he will definitely do this, and he will not look back until he defeats his opponent. Knowing that Kobe is a Zen master, this place is the most troublesome, because now he has no way to calm Kobe down.

If Kobe is replaced at this time to take a break, like in the second quarter just now?That locker room conversation is probably unavoidable, so the "Zen Master" who is good at controlling the players' psychology will never do this.

So what to do?Watching the team go on like this?

There is no good way for 'Zen Master' now. Kobe can't move, so he can only make the Lakers' overall defense better.

So, Odom was replaced, Ronnie Turiaf came on, and then he was marking Luke Walton and paying attention to the outside line of the Mavericks. The old Zen master could only do so much.

Now he can only expect a miracle, and expect that Kobe can maintain his offensive level while defending seriously. This kind of thing has happened, although not many.

But since it is a small probability thing, it rarely happens, so Kobe became active on both offense and defense, but this efficiency is quite low!

Bang, Bang, Bang...

From 3 minutes into the third quarter, Kobe attacked five times in a row, but he hit the iron four times.After that, except for the occasional goal, this iron has been playing until he rests, 88 to 69, and the Mavericks have led by 19 points.

In fact, Kobe was not stupid, he didn't use more breakthroughs, because that would consume more energy, but this time he was not defended by an undersized guy like Lao Hu, but an experienced veteran like Eddie Jones.The veteran's experience, that is, the judgment of the timing of the shot, anyway, he can't block the shot, at most he chooses to block the eye, but this trick is still somewhat effective.

Anyway, with his eyes closed and his own physical exertion, Kobe's hand feeling became very poor, which formed the above situation.

After Kobe left the field, the Lakers' substitute players showed their vitality, and they did a very good job in defense and offense, but the time was too short, and they could only narrow the score slightly.

92 to 78, the Mavericks just hit the iron during this period, but they still entered the fourth quarter with a 14-point lead.

"The third quarter is over, and I still invite Teacher Zhang to give us a review of the game." Yu Jia still came out to speak in a very timely manner.

"Well, the entire third quarter, let's see, the offense of the Mavericks can only be said to be normal. They didn't play like the second quarter. How fast they played and how accurate their shots were. They were all normal. Their offense is like this The main reason is that the Lakers have a problem. The offense always fails to score. This goal is not easy to handle. The Lakers, in fact, the defense is not very good. They have always been like this. The Lakers are an offensive team, and the offense drives the defense. , but now the offense has not been played, and the defense will not work..." Teacher Zhang talked eloquently, let alone, the combination of theory and practice is really very reasonable.

14 points is not such a safe lead. In the NBA, 20-point reversals will be staged from time to time. However, if they lead by 20 points in the fourth quarter and lose, those guys will eat their own shit.

The Mavericks are not that bad team, they don't want to eat shit, so they didn't give the Lakers many chances in the fourth quarter, a few beautiful cooperations and quick counterattacks, and the game was settled.

But someone is not reconciled, this person is Kobe.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, basically even the TV broadcasts began to give the Lakers "all beings". Lao Hu and other starters all came down, and Lao Hu was the first to come down because the Mavericks had so many outside players.

Kobe didn't come down, he stayed on the court and continued to fight like a fighter, until finally there was really no need to fight any more, and Phil Jackson replaced Kobe.

121 to 102, the Mavericks beat the Lakers at home!
What's interesting is that in the fourth quarter, the veteran Jones found another opportunity and hit a three-pointer again. In this game, he made six of six shots and scored 100 points with a 18% shooting rate.In this game, the Mavericks also happened to win the Lakers by 18 points, which is really interesting.

In the comments after the game, Yu Jia also noticed this.

"Today's game is very interesting. Veteran Eddie Jones made six shots and scored 18 points, which happened to be the points that the Mavericks won. This is a very interesting coincidence, hehe. Maybe it was for something positive, but, this The performance of this veteran is really awe-inspiring..."

"Actually, this is mainly due to the reasonableness of the ball. Don't look at the Mavericks. They shoot fast and everything, but the whole offense is generally not played by individuals. That is to say, Nowitzki still has the right to fire. Hu Lin looks at this now. I mean, I can play a game by myself, and there are very few others. Therefore, if you play reasonably and shoot when you have a chance, the hit rate will definitely not be low!..." No matter where, Teacher Zhang can use the word "reasonable" to give you explained.

After defeating the Lakers at home, the Mavericks have already won four consecutive victories. Their record has also reached 25 wins and 16 losses, with a winning percentage of nearly 61%. Pulled down the front rocket.

However, this cannot be said to be very stable, because the Rockets have a 22-game winning streak and have not come. As long as this winning streak comes out, the Mavericks will have to return to the eighth position.

Therefore, the Mavericks are now directly competing in the playoffs with the sixth-ranked Nuggets and the ninth-ranked Golden State Warriors.

The only one who sees it this way is Lao Hu. No one else puts the Mavericks, Warriors, and Nuggets together. However, as a reborn person, there is still the advantage of foresight.

The Mavericks, the Warriors, and the Nuggets, these three teams have one thing in common, that is, the offense is strong and the defense is weak. Relatively speaking, the Nuggets' defense is better. Of course, this is only on the books. However, it is not the case in real combat.

Needless to say, the Warriors do not have a defensive champion in this team. The only defensive player last season was Baron Davis. He is the first in steals, but this season has not been so high. up.

This season, Paul's steals currently top the list, and he is also the assist leader.

With Marcus Camby, the best defense in the NBA, and the flying Kenyon Martin, the Nuggets look like a strong defensive team.But in fact, because Camby and Martin are the kind of players who don't like to get stuck, their defense is like a paper tiger. Blocks often appear, but it is difficult to effectively prevent opponents from scoring.

The Mavericks don't have very good defensive players, but in fact, judging from the current lineup, they have a better defensive performance.David Lee, Diop, and sometimes the "No. [-] in the West" who can bully a weak center, coupled with Brandon Bass, a small power forward, the Mavericks' inside line is quite reliable.

When it comes to critical moments, defense is what wins the game. These three teams have no major problems in offense. Although shooting is sometimes a matter of throwing or not scoring, these three teams are still excellent. .

The reason why these three teams are mentioned is because after the Lakers, the Mavericks will play against the Denver Nuggets at home on January 1!

In Lao Hu's impression, this should be an offensive battle, but the final victory of this game is the defense!

90 to 85, the Mavericks beat their opponents at home.

The reason why the game was able to win this game was because the Mavericks' inside defense was stronger than the opponent's. There is also a key problem here, that is, Nene Hilario, the Nuggets' 'beast inside', cannot play in this game.

History has not changed. This guy Nene has undergone orchiectomy, which means that when I saw him again, this guy only had one ball.

　Ask for votes, it will be a new week soon, let the fox show a little face on the list, ha ha.Thank you very much!
