Chapter 431 Sharp turn down
Paul was in possession of the ball, and he suddenly changed his rhythm, constantly dribbling the ball under the crotch, and the speed was extremely fast, which made it very difficult for Terry who was defending him.

Squeak, just when Terry slipped away a little bit, Paul seized the opportunity to start quickly and went directly to the basket from the front!
Immediately shrinking, the Mavericks protected their penalty area in an instant. This is the effect of their current defense improvement. In the past, it was impossible to see such shots.

Whoosh, the basketball immediately flew beyond the three-point line, where a pitcher like Peja was waiting.

Swish!Three points hit!

In fact, the Mavericks' defense is good, but their current focus is on the basket, and they really can't control so much on the outside.

"Shhhhhhh..." But fortunately, with the cheers of the fans, the Mavericks immediately launched an attack again.

This guy Lao Hu wanted to return a three-pointer. The current situation is not very good. He needs to let the point difference return to the original place, so the gesture came out, double screen!

In order to make the ball look more like an inside shot, Lao Hu pouted his butt very directly, and he was squeezing in with his back, which could attract the opponent's defensive attention.

ran out!

Terry ran to the bottom corner again, and Lao Hu immediately turned around and made a breakthrough at this time.

This is a good way, because when breaking through, with Hu's current power, he should be able to attract the attention of two people, so Terry will be much safer in the bottom corner, and he will have a longer time to adjust his shooting posture .

Bang, here comes the basketball, and Terry catches the ball!
Empty seat!But the defense of the Hornets also came out. Although Peja was attracted by Hu Lin's breakthrough just now, he is tall and long, and although he doesn't move fast, he is the closest to Terry.

Shot!

However, Terry's action is still very fast, just before Peja blocked the shooting angle, the basketball still flew out.

Swish!Three points hit!

"Oh ho ho ho!..." Entered!Finally in!It's not easy!Dallas people think the sound of a basketball going into the rim is so beautiful that they don't mind adding some other music to it.

"Good shot! It's all on the face, the ball is still in, Terry! Let us remember this player, his three-pointer brought the Mavericks back from the cliff again..." Yang Jian said Quite excited.

"Hehe, it was indeed a good shot, but the Mavericks are still on the edge of the cliff. It's good that they didn't fall..." Mr. Xu said the current grim situation.

That's right, the Mavericks are in a very bad situation. Not only are they trailing in score, but they also have offensive problems.

32 to 44, and more than 8 minutes have passed in the second quarter. Judging from the score, the Mavericks' defense problem is not too big, but the offense is really worse.

Is it your own reason?What kind of offensive window period?

No, at least this guy, Hu, doesn't think it's the reason. The Mavericks encountered a strong defense!

Just like the goal just now, although the three-pointer was scored, the Hornets' defense was very strong before. Needless to say, Lao Hu had to deal with Peterson's old brown sugar, but the problem was the defense of others. When Terry made the shot, Peja's fingertips were only a little short. Fortunately, the goal was scored, but the difficulty was really great.

This is not an improvement in individual defense, but an improvement in the defense of the entire team. From Lao Hu's personal experience, the Hornets will strengthen their perimeter defense, and it is definitely not at the same level.

Pressing close to the body, these are trivial matters, the key is that the Hornets have accelerated their follow-up speed. In the previous games, the Mavericks really didn't encounter this much. Anyway, Lao Hu didn't feel like he did today.

Originally, the Hornets had a great advantage in the interior. Let's put it this way, basically it is very difficult for the Mavericks to attack the interior.But what's interesting is that the original offensive points of the Mavericks are all on the outside, so the Hornets didn't take advantage of this advantage. It should be said that from the previous few games, the advantage of the inside is not very obvious.

This is normal, because that's how the Mavericks play. With so many shooters, don't they all want to go to the basket to find a cap?

Therefore, in terms of defense, the Hornets need to expand their control range, but this creates a problem, that is, the Hornets, who have played a few more games and have less rest for a few days, have exposed their physical strength. question.

Defense takes physical strength, especially on the perimeter.

In fact, in terms of defense, it's better to talk about insiders, because insiders often rely on talent. How tall you are, how strong you are, how much you can jump, how long your arms are, these things can determine your defensive ability.But the outside line is different. Outside defense requires hard work, ability to run, and constant pressure on the opponent. The talent of the player itself is not particularly important, just like that guy Bruce Bowen, he just has very ordinary physical fitness guy.

Therefore, in the previous game, due to physical problems, the Hornets' perimeter defense performance was unsatisfactory. Even the Mavericks' bench players could frequently shoot three-pointers.

But it's different now, it should be said that it's completely different.In terms of playing time, the main players of the Hornets are still the same, but there is no problem with their physical strength. Not only that, but their performance in defense is also very good.

Every shot is not easy, maybe there is an open space, but the opponent makes it up very quickly, and you can always see a palm dangling in front of your eyes when you shoot, this feeling is really bad.

The Hornets came again, and this time it was Paul. His breakthrough was like a scalpel. After using a blocker, he cut the butter of the Mavericks in an instant.

Straight to the rim, the Mavericks shrunk like ever, and the team cast a net around the rim...

Bang, swish!
But obviously this big net is not so tight, it should be said that this net itself has holes, and Paul just used a small mesh in it to throw the basketball into it.

However, from Hu's point of view, there was nothing difficult about this ball. It was nothing more than Paul making a fake move to pass to Chandler and Peja, which made the Mavericks' supplementary players care about one thing and lose another, especially like Nuo For a guy like Viski, he dared not lose his position against Chandler easily, otherwise that position would no longer be his.

"Hey, this ball is so beautiful! With such a small gap, the ball goes up, like embroidery." Yang Jian sighed.

"Hehe, the Mavericks can't defend. Their defensive posture is out, but there is no actual supplementary defense. This is useless, hehe..." Teacher Xu saw some problems. Of course, this problem has already appeared Been a few times.

But the defense is like this, which is already better than before, let's figure out how to get the ball in.

Fortunately, Terry scored a goal just now, which is a good sign. Lao Hu is going to give him the ball again, so that Terry can continue his touch.

Give more when your hands are hot. This is a good way for point guards to get assists.

This time Lao Hu gestured to pull away, and then immediately summoned Lao Li to come out to make a wall, and he broke through again along 45 degrees.

The purpose of the breakthrough was not to attack by himself, but to attract the opponent's defense. Sure enough, West couldn't keep up with Lao Hu, and Paul in the middle had to come over to help.

Whoosh!
The ball was passed, and Terry was temporarily free at the top of the arc, but at this moment, Peja appeared again.

From Lao Hu's breakthrough, to Paul's defense, to Peja's rotation, the whole process did not exceed 1 second. The Hornets' defense was indeed too fast, and the overall intensity was scary.

Whoosh!
Facing the guy who is more than 20 centimeters taller than himself, Terry didn't take a shot, and he didn't choose to break through, because after Hu Lin's breakthrough just now, many people gathered near the paint area. If Terry went in again, it would be too crowded , So, he chose to pass the ball, which happened to be passed to Nowitzki at 45 degrees on the other side.

Snapped!At this moment, suddenly a small man rushed out and broke the ball, Paul!
After helping defend Hu Lin just now, he saw Peja going to fill his position, Paul immediately went to fill Peja's position, and at this moment Terry passed the ball, Paul seized this opportunity at once, Nuo In terms of movement flexibility, Visky is really better than Paul. Don't forget, this year's Paul is the top stealer.

He chased back, but it was really too late, anyway, Lao Hu had no chance, and Terry was still chasing desperately, he still had a chance, and he was still in front of Paul.

Beep!A whistle rang through the audience.

Paul and Terry have been rushing towards the Mavericks basket, one advances and the other retreats, but both sides are not slow, and it seems that there is no winner in the end, but at the moment of the layup, Terry seized the opportunity first , he took Paul's arm.

Originally, Terry's goal was the basketball, but when he reached out, he found that he was only grabbing the opponent's right arm, and the basketball was on Paul's left hand.

Bang, swish!Two points in!
The referee stretches out two fingers and points downward, the ball counts!

"Shhhhhh..." Dallas people don't want to see this shot, although the ball is very beautiful and exciting, but they just don't want to see it.

"Strike! It's so beautiful! This is a two plus one. According to Paul's free throw percentage, it should be two plus one. It's not easy for the Mavericks!" Yang Jian was very neutral at this time.

"Hehe, this time is not good, this time is not good, in fact, this two plus one is nothing, the key is that the Mavericks' offense is currently problematic, and what's more terrible is that there is no way to solve this problem now, this is really true. It's hard to handle..." Mr. Xu said that he took a more profound view.

Swish!Additional penalty hit.

Seeing the goal scored and seeing the change of the scoreboard, Lao Hu was thinking of a solution, but it seemed difficult, and he had no good solution.

It doesn't really matter whether it is far-reaching or not. The key is that the current Mavericks are heading towards the abyss step by step.

　The Warriors are really good enough, hehe, Mengku's three-pointer is very characteristic.Also, ask for support.
