Chapter 179 More Flowers

43 to 31! !
Immediately afterwards, under Nash's needlework, the Dallas Mavericks played a multi-point offensive situation.

Although Nash didn't score, he passed the basketball to the most threatening place, making the Cavaliers' defense lose sight of one another.

Nowitzki attacked a few times before, and after hitting two or three goals, he was more of a support or attracting defense to let his teammates play.

With Nash's assists and Nowitzki's assistance, Jamison and Josh Howard are naturally unceremonious and can fully display their offensive talents.

Facing James' defense, Jamison couldn't open it at first, but Josh Howard felt like punching the teacher to death when facing McGinnis.

McGinnis was a second-round pick of the 96 golden generation and was picked off by the Nuggets. As a rookie, his appearance was mediocre.

Later, when I went to the Clippers, I played it out. In the 00-01 season, he averaged 14.3 points and 6.5 assists per game. However, McGinnis, who is 193cm tall and weighs 86kg, is known as a dual-energy control, but whether it is Passing, or scoring, are not top-notch.

Facing the substitute players, McGinnis may be able to become a surprise soldier.

It's just that facing Josh Howard, who is 201cm tall, weighs 95kg, and has strong physical fitness, McGinnis feels like being completely blown up in the competition.

Halfway through the 03-04 season, Josh Howard has adapted to the rhythm of the NBA, while McGinnis has just transferred to the Cavaliers, but he is dissatisfied with the tactical play here.

Offensively, Wu Lun is at a disadvantage in terms of height and weight. In terms of enthusiasm, Josh Howard is full of passion, daring to fight, and has no scruples. He is still young and has no psychological burden, and he is supported by the passing master Nash. Passing the ball, Josh Howard played like a fish in water, frequently receiving the ball easily, hitting the basket to score, or making open mid-range shots with high efficiency.

On defense, Josh Howard's skills are very good, and his physical condition has the upper hand, and he can still withstand McGinnis' offensive counterattack.

With Nash, Nowitzki, and Josh Howard at their side, Jamison, an All-Star offensive player, naturally gets a lot of offensive opportunities.

Even if James is the main defense, Jamison, who has outstanding offensive talent, still enjoys it very much. Whether Wulun uses off-ball running skills, runs out of open space to catch the ball and shoots, or directly faces James with the ball, Jamison always has How to put the basketball into the basket and score calmly.

The Mavericks played violent offensive firepower, making it difficult for the Cavaliers' defense.

After Finley and Walker had a good rest and regained their energy, they played again, taking over the positions of Nash and Nowitzki, maintaining a quartet of offensive stars on the offensive end, with seamless firepower, and did not give the Cavaliers a chance to breathe.

Walker's three-pointers frequently threatened the Cavaliers' basket, and Finley's singles and mid-range shots also slammed the Cavaliers' wounds without mercy.

Fortunately, although the Dallas Mavericks have terrible firepower on the offensive end and many players who can score, they do not do well on the left defensive end, and it can even be said to be hot chicken.

In the tactics of the "Mad Scientist" head coach Nelson, there is no word "defense" at all. He only blindly attacks and uses offense to win. The style is very distinctive and wonderful!

Even with four offensive All-Star players on the field, Nelson still feels that there are not enough offensive players?
In such a system, players will work hard to defend, the simplicity is a joke, and they are not that material!
Therefore, when the Cavaliers' defense was smashed, the Cavaliers' offense did not fall behind, but instead felt like they were evenly matched.

After all, James is James. When he was frustrated by Jamison's defense in the previous few attacks, he quickly adjusted back. He was no longer obsessed with using breakthroughs to create opportunities, but was good at passing the ball and sending the basketball to the The Dallas Mavericks' defensive weaknesses go up.

For example, at the center position in the low post, although Diop's offense is unreliable, but facing the 36-year-old Scott Williams, who is not as tall and heavy as himself, Diop's score finally broke through 3 points.

For example, Wagner, who has been in good form recently, faced Nash's defense. Although the height difference advantage no longer exists, Wagner, who is strong offensively and weak defensively, still has no problem scoring.

Just one word after holding the ball, rush him!Nash was beaten twice by Wagner in a row, which supported the Cavaliers' offense well.

Then, Boozer faced Nowitzki. Boozer used physical confrontation and a good mid-range shot to frequently threaten the Dallas Mavericks' basket.

With the help of his teammates, James can also switch positions and pick and roll to find the Mavericks' defensive weaknesses.

Nash, Scott Williams, and even Nowitzki are breakthrough points that can be attacked.

Although Jamison and Josh Howard's personal defense is online, defense is a problem for the entire team. Even if the wing defense of the Dallas Mavericks has improved, the defensive rhythm and defensive awareness of the entire team are not on the same channel. Naturally, the team is not polite, and the offensive firepower is aimed at the opponent, that is, a fierce bombardment.

In addition to attacking the weaknesses of the Dallas Mavericks defense.

The pick-and-rolls of James and Boozer are still very threatening, and they scored steadily and powerfully, stabilizing the situation on the court.

Although the two sides attacked lively on the field, in fact, the score gap between the two sides did not widen too much, and they were still within the range of catching up.

With the Cavaliers' starters back on the field, Ilgauskas used his height to single out Scott Williams.

Catch the ball from the back frame in the low position on the left side, squeeze the ball deep with the back, and after shaking the shoulders, step on the flexible footsteps, turn around and touch the inside line, easily enter the basket, step by step, jump with one hand, You can easily send the basketball into the hoop.

After showing the low backhand, Ilgauskas directly caught the ball in the low position, facing Scott Williams' block, opened his hand for two points and made a mid-range shot, and hit a two-pointer steadily.

The inside line of the Dallas Mavericks was blown up one after another, but the old Nelson remained indifferent and did not make any adjustments.

Perhaps in his opinion, it is normal for the Dallas Mavericks to be blown up inside when facing other opponents. Every team makes a fuss about their inside. , the first pass is a quick counterattack scoring opportunity.

This kind of offensive play is a good opportunity for the Cavaliers to score offensively, so why isn't it a good opportunity for the Mavericks to attack?
The Cavaliers have inside support, and the outside offensive firepower has also been opened up, and the game was once flourishing.

Lin Bai, in particular, used the screen as soon as he came on the court, received a pass from James behind, raised his hand and dropped it, and hit a three-pointer.

Then, he caught the ball from the outside and jumped up to shoot, and then passed the ball to the inside, allowing Boozer to easily get the chance to face the basket and dunk, and he succeeded easily.

However, it is obviously not a rational tactic for the Cavaliers and Dallas Mavericks to attack. In the familiar offensive rhythm, the Mavericks' offensive firepower is more fierce and violent.

In the second quarter, the Mavericks scored more points, with a score of 37 to 28. At the end of halftime, the score was 73 to 57, mainly against the guest, leading the Cavaliers by 16 points, and entered the locker room to rest.

The offensive firepower of the Cavaliers is not insignificant. They almost scored 60 points in the halftime. You must know that 50 points are rare when 60 points are considered a big score. Unexpectedly, the offensive firepower of the Dallas Mavericks was even more violent. They scored 73 points. Points, it is obviously unwise to compete with the Mavericks on offense! !
