Chapter 360 Halftime Lead
At the beginning of the second quarter, the rotation of the Suns was small. Nash and Stoudemire went off, and Barbosa and Hunter came off the bench.

The Mavericks were behind the score, Nelson swung his hand, replaced Dampier and Finley, replaced Harris and Jerry Stackhouse, changed Nowitzki to center, Terry played shooting guard, Jerry Star Kehouse played small forward.

The first attacking ball fell into the hands of the Mavericks. Harris dribbled the ball to the frontcourt without stopping for half a point.

Barbosa's movement speed is very fast, but his physical strength is lacking in confrontation. He easily allowed Harris to go to the basket. Facing Hunter's defense, he forced a quick shot. The basketball struggled on the basket and still rolled into the basket. Basket, scored a two-pointer.

33 to 36! !
Although Harris' control of the offensive rhythm on the field is not organized, but with this breakthrough speed with the ball alone, his season pick cannot be lowered. As long as he is not injured, his strength will not be there.

If he develops his mid-range shooting and defense, even if he only needs to develop one of them, he can become a star.

Looking back, Barbosa organized the frontcourt and did not make a sudden move. Instead, he passed the ball to Joe Johnson on the right to single out Terry.

Barbosa's organization and passing of the ball is not as superb as Nash's, but he still has a plan in his heart, at least he doesn't hit indiscriminately.

Besides, Joe Johnson's individual singles ability is undeniably strong, and playing Jason Terry is still a piece of cake.

Sure enough, Joe Johnson took advantage of his height and directly lifted the ball over the top. Terry could only respond passively and rushed forward to defend Joe Johnson.

With Terry's small body, no matter how tough his style of play is, Joe Johnson pulls the ball down, dribbles suddenly, and Terry can be staggered. Then, he turns around, easily passes Terry, and accelerates to the inside.

Facing Nowitzki's defense, he forced a shot from the basket. The basketball wiped the backboard and accurately got into the net, scoring two points.

33 to 38! !
Jason Terry's offensive firepower is very violent, but his defensive ability is much lacking.

The Mavericks attacked, Harris dribbled to the frontcourt, and played a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki.

He casually points the basketball to Nowitzki, and cuts to the basket without the ball. If the Suns don't care about Harris, Nowitzki makes a point, and Harris catches the ball, which is a good opportunity to attack the basket at close range.

If the Suns defend, they can only dislocate the defense or flank, and Nowitzki can watch the dishes and make the most suitable offensive method.

Facing Barbosa's misplaced defense, Nowitzki did not hesitate, and directly drew his bow and arrow, opened his hand for two points and shot a fallback jumper.

Barbosa could only watch helplessly, completely unable to parry Nowitzki's attack.

With a flick of his right hand, the basketball drew an arc of a full moon in the air.

Swish!
Nowitzki's two-point shot, with a knife in his hand, hit the bull's-eye accurately and scored two points.

35 to 38! !
Looking back, Barbosa received Marion's baseline fast serve, immediately dribbled and charged, three steps and two steps, rushed to the frontcourt, did not pause for half a minute, directly changed direction and accelerated to the inside line, was met by Harry After Si's pincer attack, there was a clear snap, and a pass was passed, which was distributed to Hunter under the basket.

After catching the ball, he jumped up easily, got a double-double dunk, and returned two points.

35 to 40! !
Although Barbosa's organization support is not as good as Nash's, he can still do simple breakthroughs and points. In addition, his speed is really fast, and the level of offensive threat has also improved a lot.

The Mavericks attacked, Harris dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and directly distributed the ball to Jerry Stackhouse. As the Mavericks' super sixth man, he had a lot of offensive possessions.

Facing Richardson's defense, Jerry Stackhouse crossed and dribbled the ball continuously, swayed an offensive angle, reached the three-point line, pulled the ball directly, and made two mid-range shots with emergency stop jumpers.

Bang! !

After Jerry Stackhouse joined the Mavericks, his offensive efficiency dropped a lot, his shot selection was a bit poor, and his shooting feel was not accurate.

The basketball bounced out of the basket, and Marion overpowered Josh Howard and took off the rebound strongly, showing his well-deserved "hacker" physical talent.

With one move, Marion immediately distributed the basketball. After receiving the ball, Barbosa immediately rushed to dribble with lightning-like speed.

Joe Johnson and Richardson also left and right, like sharp knives out of their scabbards, piercing the two assists of the Mavericks, creating a whirlwind offensive situation.

The frontcourt formed a three-on-two, and Barbosa was a little sticky to the ball. The overall offensive situation was not as good as Nash, but his speed was really fast.

Harris can only defend and retreat, trying to stabilize the restricted area.

One step away from the free throw line, Barbosa immediately pulled the ball and jumped up, making a two-point jumper.

After attracting the Mavericks' defensive attention, he made a fake pass in the air and distributed the basketball to the right side to cut into the hands of Joe Johnson.

After catching and dribbling the ball easily, Joe Johnson jumped up from the basket, as if practicing a layup, with an easy pick, the basketball was picked into the basket, and the two-point counterattack was successful.

35 to 42! !
The Mavericks attacked, Harris dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and directly made a bow-like fake move. After deceiving Barbosa's defensive position, he immediately dribbled the ball into the inside with a dull head, and one step to the free throw line. Hunter and Marion did not When filling the position in time, he immediately drew the bow and set the arrow, and made a two-point jump shot with an emergency stop.

Bang!
Harris' two-point mid-range shot was powerful, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.

Relying on the advantage of his height and long arms, Nowitzki grabbed the rebound strongly, dribbled the ball on the ground, turned around and lifted the ball, and tricked Hunter into jumping up to block the shot.

Nowitzki hit a gap, easily completed a dunk at the basket, and scored a second offense with a rebound and dunk.

37 to 42! !
Although the strength and reputation of the Dallas Mavericks' bench players are much better than those of the Suns, under D'Antoni's seven-man rotation tactic, the strength of the Mavericks' bench has not been brought into play.

At least, in the first game, on the home court where the Suns are physically fit, the Mavericks' substitute players actually had a rather low offensive effectiveness.

In the subsequent offense, the Mavericks were in poor condition and were close to failing to attack.

Harris' offensive organization is still a little bit worse, unable to perfectly display the powerful offensive firepower of the Mavericks.

At this moment, the Mavericks seem to miss Nash's demeanor of delivering ammunition.

Harris has potential and talent, but now he sees himself more in his eyes.

Organizational passing has become the second choice, and it is more about taking steps to break through inside.

His mid-range shot is unstable, and his offensive scoring is difficult to guarantee.

If his physique was as strong as Wade's, he would be able to do damage like this, and it wouldn't be a big problem to get to the free throw line. However, his offense seems to be quick, and he mostly avoids defense and makes quick shots.

With Harris' organization problems, the Mavericks' offense fell into a slump.

Nowitzki's state was also affected. After missing consecutive shots, he was replaced to rest.

Josh Howard played power forward and was directly marked by Marion. He was almost invisible in the second quarter.

Jerry Stackhouse's physical fitness has declined, his offensive efficiency has declined, and he can't do a good job as a sixth man, let alone drive the Mavericks' offense.

However, the offensive firepower of the Suns continued to be very good. They played an offensive offensive like clouds and flowing water, and the Mavericks retreated steadily, completely unable to parry.

25 to 34! !
The Suns played very well in the second quarter, widening the gap between the two sides by 9 points.

56 to 70! !
At the end of the first half, Phoenix took a 14-point lead against the Dallas Mavericks and entered the locker room to rest.
