Chapter 217 The Evolved Nash (still 6000 words)
In fact, the defensive strength of the Dallas Mavericks lineup is quite amazing.

On the wing, Finley and Josh Howard are tough players with both offense and defense.

With these two gates on both sides, any team will be very uncomfortable if they encounter it, because the area they can defend is very wide, and it will be very difficult to break through.

Not to mention, they interact and cooperate to make up for each other's shortcomings.

Devin Harris lacks experience awareness and physical confrontation, and his defensive skills have not been polished. Put him in the starting lineup, use his extremely agile skills in defense, and continuously defend left and right, inside and outside. After all, Dampier's inside confrontation is very Powerful, but poor footwork, with Harris' speed, Dampier's shortcomings will not be easily targeted by the opponent's defender.

Moreover, although Finley on the right side has outstanding defensive experience, after all, his footwork has not been as good as before due to injuries.

Harris' lubricating effect is very clever. As for Nowitzki, although his defensive strength is not top-notch, his single defense is not at a disadvantage when he is not facing top superstars.

Combined, the five-man defense looks promising enough to make a big playoff run.

They happened to meet the Suns, and the positional battle was a diamond tactic.

The shooting ability of Richardson and Joe Johnson is the key. No team can ignore their offensive firepower and let them open up frequently on the outside. Therefore, the team's lineup can only be stretched, and the players' defense can only be expanded.

The result is that the Dallas Mavericks' defensive system was directly disassembled.

Only a rookie and a heavy center with slow speed are left.

However, Stoudemire of the Suns has the speed of a guard. Nash has no problem in offense, whether it is shooting, passing or breaking through.

Nash, who got into the paint, has more options to attack.

Drive straight in, Nash dribbled the ball into the paint, Dampier could only pounce on the defense, Nash pulled the ball and dribbled for a layup in two steps.

Basket did not shoot, but from Dampier's waist, pass to the left, Stoudemire easily received the ball, jumped up, dunk with both hands.

At this moment, Nash's offensive talent is fully reflected, which is amazing.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban on the sidelines said he has no regrets, seeing Nash's attack with ease, he still feels bad in his heart.

At this time, the fans and audience seemed a little silent, not knowing how to express their emotions. After all, Cuban gave Nash a chance to prove himself, but the elimination of the playoffs every year made their hearts harden .

Fortunately, on this stadium, there is another one of their favorite players. He stays and will become a legend of the team!

Nowitzki did not disappoint Cuban and the fans. He received the ball from the 75-degree three-point line on the left and was one step away from the three-point line. I was just being lazy, thinking that Nowitzki would take a step forward and shoot again, but Nowitzki's three-point range is too far, the release point is high, and he leans back slightly.

If Marion missed the first step, he would be beaten passively and sigh.

No one could understand that in Lin Bai's previous life, Curry's mood was known as "perverted" in defense.

Marion could feel it in advance, though only a little bit.

The white net was overflowing, and there was a clear sound of wiping the net. Nowitzki's three-pointer did not miss, and fell steadily into the basket, scoring a three-pointer.

With his hands up and down, Nowitzki maintained a three-point shooting posture, turned around and celebrated with the fans.

Outside the arena, the fans and spectators were no longer silent. There was an earth-shattering roar and tsunami, and the applause was like a storm, one after another.

The boss Cuban also threw his fist in celebration, with a childlike smile on his face.

This made Nash happy for Nowitzki on his face, but also very hurt in his heart.

Nash, who was deeply stung by the fans, took a deep breath and his eyes became serious.

The Suns attacked, Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, played a pick-and-roll with Marion, and Nowitzki directly switched to Nash.

Nash did not rush to attack, amidst the applause and cheers of the fans and audience on the sidelines.

Nash and Nowitzki, good friends, started their first face-to-face duel.

Nash bent down and dribbled the ball left and right continuously, while Nowitzki took half a step, lowered his center of gravity, and assumed a standard defensive posture.

In Nash's view, his good friend Dirk Nowitzki is full of defensive flaws!
How about using speed to get rid of him?Or play tricks on him?Pass?There is no such option at all.

Nash dribbles the ball straight at Nowitzki, slap...

After continuously stepping down and changing direction, Nash has already made Nowitzki's feet unsteady, and immediately took a bow-like fake move. Instead of a fake move, he jumped directly at the basketball that Nash broke through to the right.

The two have been together for almost 4 years. It is not the first time that they are singled out. It is often Nash who uses speed and extraordinary skills to deal with Nowitzki. Eat Nash.

Later, Nash learned Nowitzki's precise mid-range shot, and Nowitzki also learned Nash's fake moves and pass handling ability. The two sides can improve and learn a lot together, and their efforts have paid off. In return, both grow into superstars.

They had thought about becoming opponents and fighting on the court, but they didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

Nash thought about that day, but he didn't expect that he would fall behind. Could it be that Nowitzki made too fast progress and I couldn't keep up with him?

Do not!
Nowitzki is a rare genius, but he is no worse than Nowitzki. He is also working hard and improving. It is absolutely impossible for me to lag behind Nowitzki.

In an instant, Nash thought of a lot, and also felt a lot of reconciliation. Why did he, Nash, leave instead of...

Suddenly, Nashford felt his heart, and his face became calm. This was not an admission of defeat, but he remembered his favorite sport.

Not tennis!

Not even basketball!
It's football on the pitch!
At the time of thousands of shots, Nash used the Marseille maneuvers that are only available on the football field!

With a flick of the left foot, a pull of the right foot, turn and pass!

So, Nowitzki is about to stretch his feet!No!It's time to reach out.

Nash flicked his left hand, pulled his right hand, and turned around to avoid Nowitzki's inevitable steal.

Nash turned around with a stroke of genius, stunned everyone present.

The audience outside the stadium just wanted to cheer and congratulate, and even wanted to hug and celebrate with the fans next to them, but they didn't expect that Nash had such a hand!
Absolutely simple!
Immediately changed to a pained look holding his head.

Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks, looked at this scene with an incredible expression. His mouth was open enough to stuff an apple, and his jaw almost fell to the ground.

Still have this kind of operation?What am I missing?

After Nash turned around, he felt lucky to survive the catastrophe. He turned to look at Nowitzki with a surprised expression, and saw the other players standing still, staring at him in a daze!
Nash felt a sense of joy in his heart, a hearty sense of accomplishment.

It seems that football has not left, he has become a part of my body.

Nash came back to his senses quickly, and he was still in the game. With the basketball, he rushed to the inside and easily shot with a small throw.

With a bang, he hit two points accurately, to end his first duel with Nowitzki!
Moreover, the most important thing is that he won, and he did not fail to keep up with Nowitzki's progress.

only…

It's just that no one can discover the energy hidden in him!
This chasing boy has grown up again!
Nash's eyes, with doubts, turned to the Suns coach's bench, but, no one knows what he is thinking in his heart at this moment?
Next, the duel between Nash and Nowitzki is still going on. Although there is no face-to-face collision, everyone's eyes are attracted by the offensive talents of Nash and Nowitzki. Impressed.

After a single quarter of the game, Nash and Nowitzki contributed two points to a wonderful duel like a textbook.

The two superstars did their best to present a gorgeous goal feast to the fans and audience.

They played a high score of 36 to 36. Although the team played evenly, no one could do anything to the other, and even the two did not decide a level, but their offensive level was deeply rooted in their minds.

Let the fans and audience look forward to the next game even more.

The game continued in the second quarter. D'Antoni retained his coaching characteristics, playing the main force and rotating seven players.

The three starters Nash, Stoudemire, and Marion were retained, and replaced by Lin Bai and Barbosa to replace Richardson and Joe Johnson.

The thickness of the Mavericks' bench is strong enough, and there is a lot of room for adjustment.

Jason Terry and Stackhouse played together, Bradley replaced Dampier, veteran Alan Henderson replaced Nowitzki, and only kept Josh Howard at small forward. The strength of the lineup is evident.However, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Suns let the Mavericks appreciate what is the league's number one offensive firepower, and experience the extreme destructive power of the 7-second running and bombing and diamond tactics.

Nash quickly dribbles to the frontcourt. In the positional battle, the Suns are still in the diamond position. Nash is in the middle to control. Barbosa and Lindbergh are separated on the left and right flanks, with knife guards. Marion and Stoudemire pull to the left and right. The corner areas on both sides, pick-and-roll screens, create a dislocation attack space.

The Mavericks have already experienced the Suns' offensive three-axes in the previous quarter, and they also know that they want to break through. They can start restricting from the offensive starting point of Nash, or from the flanks. As for the inside point, it is precisely based on the previous two points. Open for advance.

Therefore, when the Mavericks asked Jason Terry to entangle Nash, Josh Howard and Stackhouse, who were defending on both sides, retracted slightly, preparing to encircle and double-team the Suns' pick-and-roll coordination.

Nash could clearly see the small thoughts of the Dallas Mavericks, and the expression on his face remained unchanged, as if he didn't know there was such a thing.

Taking advantage of the rapid change of rhythm and speed, Nash got rid of Terry's close-fitting defense a little bit, and played a pick-and-roll cooperation with the high-post Stoudemire.

Terry, Bradley who switched defenses, and Stackhouse on the right immediately surrounded Nash, and even Josh Howard on the left shrank, ready to cut off Nash's passing route at any time.

Nash seemed to have been prepared for a long time. After the pick-and-roll, he took a step back. After opening the distance, he pulled the ball and jumped up, and made a fake pass. However, the direction of the pass was not the inside line, but the right three-point corner.

Lin Bai caught the ball, glanced at the basket, ignored Stackhouse's frantic attack, slightly bent his knees, jumped up lightly, and the basketball was pushed away from his fingertips, drawing a full moon-like arc in the air Wire.

Lin Bai's breathing rhythm is very stretched, and the touch is very soft. There is a crisp sound of swishing the net, and the three-pointer shoots up and down, hits the bull's-eye with precision, and goes in hollow.

39 to 36! !When Lin Bai returned to the defense, Nash automatically reached out to give Lin Bai a high-five to celebrate. Lin Bai was stunned for a moment, and then raised his big finger after clapping.He praised the other party and said, "Great pass!"

"Beautiful shot!!"

Lin Bai felt that Nash had changed, felt...how should I put it?evolved?No, it may be that he has grown up, learned to automatically integrate into this new Suns team, and learned how to be the core leader of a team.

Nash’s thinking is very simple, and the image depicted by basketball is not enough. For example, by baseball, a player on the Mavericks tried to run the base, which caused trouble for Nash, the pitcher, and prevented Nash from concentrating on facing the hitter. Nash used a pass The ball was controlled, and the teammate's defense was also very tacit, successfully completed the tag, and the runner was out.

Hmm... that's about it, Lin Bai is a loyal and reliable guard, and a guard with a knife next to Nash.

The two worked together to complete a pinch, allowing the Mavericks' contraction to take an immediate hit.

The Mavericks attacked, and Terry dribbled the ball quickly. Facing Nash's defense, Terry, who had been holding his breath for a long time, did not hesitate. The point guard is a backup.

Terry paid for his own physical strength and speed to overwhelm Nash. Without any cover, he suddenly exerted force on his feet, fell short, and immediately dribbled the ball. Nash took a step sideways, but was caught by Terry's strong body. , Thinking of the sudden burst of speed, he staggered.

Terry didn't take advantage of the situation to break through to the basket. Stoudemire's quick footsteps made him very afraid. Besides, he felt that his mid-range shot was very good.

When he reached the horn area, he immediately pulled the ball up, and made a two-point jump shot and shot directly.

Terry's breakthrough was very fast, with amazing explosive power, like a "jet", the emergency stop was also very fast, and the shot was straightforward. Even if Nash predicted it in advance, he still couldn't defend it.

There was a clear bang, the basketball missed and bounced out of the frame.

Jason Terry's scoring is very wild, and there is nothing to say about offensive firepower. It's just that he relies too much on the touch and has the characteristics of convulsions. When the touch is good, he is like a killer. Of course, it is beneficial and harmful.

When he felt bad, he didn't miss shots. He didn't have the consciousness to be a point guard and pass the ball well. He was a combo guard with scoring as his first choice.

His wild scoring ability, convulsive characteristics, and the style of daring to shoot and shoot are very emotional.

So, too, for this sentimental Dallas Mavericks team.

Yiboliu became crazier and violent because of Terry.

However, this time the feel seems to be a bit worse.

Stoudemire played for Bradley, a 229cm tall high center. Marion overwhelmed Alan Henderson, took off the basketball, and immediately distributed the ball to Nash, receiving the ball with a dribble.

Barbosa and Lin Bai rushed forward like desperately, especially Barbosa's lightning speed was astonishingly fast, like a sharp knife out of its sheath.

During the run, Nash pushed forward with both hands and sent a long pass. The basketball was like a missile in the American Airlines Center, finding the target accurately.

With a loud bang, Barbosa easily picked up the ball, dribbled a step, and directly came a big windmill dunk, scoring 2 counterattack points.

41 to 36! !
In less than 1 minute, the Suns' running and bombing scored 5 points, but the Mavericks were not in a hurry.

Terry still advanced quickly, and Nash was still defending. This time, Terry didn't attack and gave the ball to Stackhouse on the left.

Lin Bai put on a defensive posture and stepped forward to fight, not daring to underestimate him at all, and there was a lot of pressure.

Jerry Stackhouse is a prospect of the 95 generation. He is 198cm tall and weighs 99kg.

Lin Bai really didn't understand how he would lose to Iverson. After all, he could still score 20.7 points when he and Iverson grabbed the ball in the second year. Then, after being given up by the 76ers, he fell silent for 3 years. The offensive score is still not lost, maintaining a level of more than 15 points. Then, he played peak data in the Pistons, and scored more than 20 points in the All-Star team for four consecutive years.

Facing this kind of All-Star player with experience, skill, body and glory, and Nash who is also lagging behind in defense, can he not panic?
Stackhouse received the ball and faced the frame, Lin Bai bit the bullet and went up, defending closely, and was directly rolled into the three-point line by his back.

Lin Bai's chest was always hurting from being hit, but he refused to give up an inch, blocking his shooting space. Fortunately, his movement speed dropped severely. Otherwise, he could squeeze Lin Bai behind with his back, and he could shoot calmly. shoot.

The knee injury made his physical fitness worse than before, but it is still no problem to force Lin Bai.

At this time, Stoudemire made up his position in time, and instead of allowing Stackhouse to succeed, he fell into a siege instead.

The mobility of the Suns is obvious at the beginning. Without Nowitzki's evacuation of the inside, the Suns can calmly shrink and their defensive level has been greatly improved.

Stackhouse didn't make a strong move, and gave the ball to Terry who came to meet him. After receiving the ball, this "jet machine" with a tough playing style can drift without hesitation with the ball in his hand no matter how you defend. A two-point mid-range shot.

Terry's mid-range shot is fast, with a straight arc, and with a bang, he smacks out of the frame. When he has no touch, he is indeed very poor on the court.

Stoudemire jumped up and took off the rebound, but was counter-robbed by Stackhouse on the spot and couldn't make a quick counterattack.

In the positional battle, Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, threatened by Lin Bai's three-pointer, Stackhouse was honest, did not dare to close the defense line, and was firmly nailed to the right corner.

Josh Howard on the left is also afraid of Barbosa's speed, cuts to the basket to catch the ball, but is a sharp edge.

With the containment of the flanks, Nash can concentrate on dealing with the defense of the Mavericks inside, without any hesitation, and cooperate with Stoudemire in the pick-and-roll. Against Nash, Bradley has height but no speed, so he must not be able to defend against Nash.

Alan Henderson let go of Marion's defense and defended Stoudemire. Marion was not a stake, and cut the basket from the left.

Nash casually hoisted the basketball to the basket, completely ignoring Bradley's height and defense.

Marion jumped up when he got the ball, caught the ball in the air, turned around and dunked, and easily dunked the basketball into the hoop, hanging on the hoop like an ape. His top-level physical fitness like a "hacker" was undoubtedly on display. , The height of the sky is amazing.

43 to 36! !
In less than 2 minutes, the Dallas Mavericks fell behind by 7 points. The old Nelson on the coaching bench was unmoved. It seemed that the Mavericks' violent offensive firepower, with a point difference of about 10 points, was within their range, so there was no need to rush to adjust.

With the current strength of the Mavericks on the field, they are not inferior to their opponents!
Sometimes, there are too many good cards in hand, and it is not easy to play, especially when the score is reversed. At this time, one should be patient and believe in the strength of the players.

In the transition between offense and defense, Terry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and missed consecutive mid-range shots. He was not in a hurry to find a field.

He is crazy, but not brainless.

Now, the Mavericks are already behind by 7 points, and if the Suns score another goal, will it be 10 points?
Therefore, this ball must hit the success rate.

Terry took a look at Stackhouse's lack of a pass. Since his knee surgery, Stackhouse's scoring ability has dropped a lot.

Josh Howard on the left side has Barbosa and Marion sitting on the side. It's not that our side is too weak, but the opponent is too strong.

Therefore, Terry passed the ball to Bradley, who is in the low position on the right, and wanted to use the NBA's highest height to bully Stoudemire, who is 208cm tall.

Stoudemire went up to the body to fight directly. Bradley, known as the bamboo pole, was tall, but very light, and he was squeezed out of his feet. dominant.

Bradley tried his best to squeeze forward with his back. He didn't squeeze Stoudemire, and he didn't care. He immediately took a step back and hooked.

At the moment Bradley made a shot, Stoudemire jumped up suddenly, stretched out his hand and slapped Bradley in the face, with explosive force and jumping ability, he quickly hit Bradley. caught off guard.

Even Yao Ming didn't have much advantage when facing Stoudemire. Bradley naturally couldn't please the weakened version of Yao Ming.

The previous big killer, turned around and made a small hook. The strength was strong, but the basketball still didn't go in, and it shot out of the frame.

Veteran Alan Henderson didn't wait for the basketball to fall, and wanted to jump up to make a tip. Unexpectedly, Marion jumped up from one side at the same time, and slapped the basketball accurately with his big hand, nailing the basketball directly to the backboard.

This was a clean and neat attack, and Marion's top defensive skills were fully displayed at this moment.

The referee shook his head, indicating that there was no foul. Marion took advantage of the situation, took off the rebound, and found Nash with a pass. In a blink of an eye, he played a quick counterattack.

Lin Bai and Barbosa ran forward again, and Nash ran very fast. The Mavericks did not block Nash's advance. Fortunately, Josh Howard and Terry chased back in time, and there was no chance for Nash to make a pass.

The front court formed a three-on-three, Nash dribbled forward in the middle, and Stackhouse retreated and defended.

At the top arc of the three-point line, Nash snapped, crossed the dribble, and slapped the basketball from the right to the left. Taking advantage of Stackhouse's lack of reaction, he pulled the ball directly and made a chasing three-pointer.

The basketball was pulled out from Nash's fingertips, and the basketball drew a crescent arc in the air.

There was a swish sound of cleaning the net, the white net was overflowing, and a three-pointer hit the net.

46 to 36! !
With his hands up and down, Nash still maintained the gesture after the three-pointer was shot.

1, 2, 3!

Three seconds later, Nash clenched his fists and celebrated while retreating.

In less than 3 minutes of the third quarter, the Suns directly used stormy offensive firepower to play a wave of 10-0 offensive. The fans and audience on the scene were immediately dissatisfied, and they booed all over the place.

The old Nelson had no choice but to call a timeout, disrupting the opponent's rhythm, and it would be good for his team to take a breather.
