Coach Lee

Chapter 247 Controlling the Rhythm
Duncan accelerated and rushed in from near the free throw line, then grabbed the ball with his right hand, took two steps, and started!
At the same time, Coleman burst from the right side of the basket.

In the penalty area under the basket, when they were about to collide with each other, the two jumped up very tacitly.

Coleman jumped up, while Duncan grabbed the ball with one hand and jumped forward.

In the air, Duncan bumped into Coleman sideways.

With a low shout and a stern greeting with his right arm, Duncan wanted to blast the ball into the basket directly across Coleman.

This is Tim Duncan who just entered the league, a fierce dunker, a rookie with infinite desire for the basket!

His favorite is dunking on opponents' heads.

However~
boom!
The ball flew!Slapped by Coleman!He was slapped mercilessly by Coleman.

"Come on, baby!"

Coleman roared angrily, quite proudly.He experienced the refreshment of O'Neill when he bullied the weak.

Duncan's round eyes narrowed slightly.

And behind them,

"Counterattack!"

The fanned ball flew into Snow's hands.

Snow pushed the ball forward, and two black whirlwinds blew up.

Nash tried hard to chase back, but those two guys were too fast.

Unmatched!

Nash could only watch the familiar No. 3 bounce the ball to the ground, and No. 9 jumped up, folding his hands on the back button.

boom!
6-0
The scene in Dallas was a little quiet.

"Steve, I'm going to beat you to tears today."

For some reason, Li Nan's words suddenly appeared in Nash's mind.

"Am I really so useless? Is that why the old man doesn't use me? This."

"Steve!"

While Nash was in a daze, someone suddenly called him again.

Nash looked around and saw that it was Green who was serving from outside the baseline, and he was about to serve.

The ball whizzed over.

Nash stretched out his hands, ready to push forward after getting the ball.

"careful!"

At this moment, a figure flashed in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, Nash saw Li Nan hanging on the basket again.

8-0
Green looked over inquiringly, and spread his hands: Brother, what are you doing?

Nash was a little dazed, and he didn't know what he was doing.

beep!
paused!The Mavericks are timed out!Less than 2 minutes into the start, the Mavericks called a timeout.

On the sidelines, the 76ers players clapped happily.

"Good job guys!"

"Good fight!"

"Derek, that hat of yours is kind of awesome."

"Hey, I think so too."

Being praised by everyone, Coleman also grinned, revealing a whole row of white teeth.

the other side.

Nash sat on the bench, his face a little hot.He knew it was his fault that the team was in such a mess.

"If this game is lost, it will prove that the old man is right. No, I will not let him succeed!"

Duncan's face on the side is not very good-looking.

His dunk was a little too demoralizing.He gritted his teeth, he must avenge this revenge.

Don Nelson looked at the crowd, and then said: "Okay, isn't it just a few balls? It's no big deal. We have won 6 consecutive victories now, and we have even won the Sonics. The 76ers are nothing at all."

"Next, let's play one game steadily and find the feeling of scoring goals."

"Afterwards, we add up the speed and bring the game into our rhythm"

beep!
The game is back again.

Before receiving the baseline ball, Nash was entangled by Snow.

"Damn! This guy!"

Nash struggled to catch the serve.

After receiving the ball, facing Snow's leading defense, Nash had to spend some time to pass halftime.

"It's really as bad as chewing gum stuck to the floor!"

When we got to the frontcourt, seven or eight seconds was almost gone.

Nash moved his hand, and Duncan raised it.

Another pick-and-roll of Nash and Duncan.

However, when passing by, Nash found Finley who had slipped into the inside with an air cut.

With a shake of the hand, the ball went straight into the low post.

Finley made an easy layup.

8-2, the Mavericks pulled one back.

"yeah!"

"nice shot!"

"Pretty!"

The home fans finally had some confidence.

After Finley scored this goal, Nash and Duncan also scored one after another.

After the timeout, the Mavericks did slowly find the feeling of scoring.

However, the pace of the game did not accelerate as Don Nelson expected.

Instead, they fell into the 76ers' ultra-slow and ultra-delayed game rhythm.

"Slow down, slow down, don't rush! Let's hit the ball steadily."

On the court, the 76ers could have played a wave of fast breaks.However, Li Nan stopped them.

Controlling their own rhythm, the 76ers guide the ball step by step with every ball. It is really Iverson's singles that have no chance.

This time the lead ball was also fruitless, and Snow passed the ball to Iverson.

Iverson faced Nash.It's useless to defend Iverson alone.It was very easy to speed up the breakthrough, and Iverson passed Nash, and directly made a jumper with an emergency stop.

"withdraw!"

When Iverson shot the ball, Li Nan reminded him.

Then, the 76ers players turned around and retreated.

Even Iverson himself left immediately after seeing whether he was in or not.

The 76ers' players don't seem to be interested in the offensive rebounding at all.

when!
The goal was missed!
Finley picked up the rebound, passed it to Nash, and was ready to fight back.

Unexpectedly, beside Nash, there is Snow who looks like a dog's skin plaster!

Interferenced by Snow, this wave, the Mavericks' fast break was gone again.

Like the military, the 76ers have a sense of prohibition.

The Mavericks were helpless, almost unable to play the fast break, and could only fall into a positional battle.

Ground warfare.Beat you in my familiar field!This is the trap of the 76ers!A trap known to the entire league.However, today's Mavericks can't get out of this trap.

After several timeout adjustments by Don Nelson to no avail, he had no choice but to compromise.

"Let's fight in positional warfare, we are not weak in positional warfare!"

However, things are not that simple.

Nash gave the ball to Finley, who wanted the ball from the wing, and Finley singled Snow.

Although Snow did not get the true pass from Payton, Snow still learned Payton's strong defensive style.

Finley's shot was not easy.

when~
The ball missed.

The rebound was caught by Li Nan.

When the Mavericks players turned around slowly, Li Nan shouted.

"rush!"

The 76ers rushed to the backcourt of the Mavericks like a tide.

The Mavs were caught off guard.
That's it, when the Mavericks thought that the two sides were going to compete for shooting percentage in a positional battle, the 76ers suddenly launched a wave of quick counterattacks, which caught the Mavericks by surprise.

The 76ers firmly controlled the rhythm of the game.

Beep beep beep! ! !
competition is over.
