shooting guard era

Chapter 166. 196. Leading the Start
The game between the Bobcats and the Mavericks is about to begin, and the two sides started to jump the ball in the middle circle.

Ye Han saw that the starting lineup on the opposite side narrowed their eyes. It seemed that, as the rumors said, there was a lot of conflict in the Mavericks team!

Mavericks starting lineup is Stackhouse, Finley, Marquis - Daniels, Nowitzki, Dampier.

Terry and Josh Howard were sent to the bench. They were supposed to strengthen the strength of the second team, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were squeezed out by the head coach.

But even if the two starters are flattened into substitutes, the current starting lineup of the Mavericks is still terrifying. There was Stackhouse who averaged close to 30 points per game. Daniels, who is full of vitality at both ends, super power forward Dirk Nowitzki, "the second center in the West" Dampier.

If it wasn't for Hill, the Bobcats' lineup would be incomparable to their opponent's. Nowitzki and Dampier would be able to replace Ye Han and Okafor.Okafor's overall strength is stronger than Dampier's, and Nowitzki's offensive end is stronger than Ye Han.

jump ball!

Okafor easily won the jump ball over Dampier's head.

The Lakers go first.

Daniels returned to the defense quickly, entangled with Ye Han and hindered Ye Han's fast break from the start.

Blake advanced to the frontcourt, and Okaforti came up to do an off-ball pick-and-roll for Ye Han.

At the same time, Sheila came up to pick and roll for Blake. When Blake cut in, he gave the ball to Hill. Stackhouse and Finley double-teamed Hill. Hill immediately passed back to Blake. The player went straight to the inside line.

On the other side, Okafor and Ye Han's off-the-ball pick-and-roll attracted Dampier to the right side of the free throw line. When he saw Blake break into the paint, he immediately rushed back and went towards Blake to block the shot.

Blake threw the ball above Dampier, and Dampier screamed badly.

It was too late to dodge, Ye Han appeared in Dampier's upward sight, pressed the ball into the basket in the air, and hit him at the same time.

Bobcats finally completed the opening lob!And it is more brutal than the ordinary opening lob, dunking directly across Dampier, who claims to be the second center in the West.

The Mavericks attacked, and Dampier used the advantages of tonnage and pure strength to get a good position in the paint, and was going to beat Okafor to save face.

Although Dampier, who is in his prime, has no offensive skills, he has an advantage against Okafor. The tonnage, which is very advantageous to a muscular center, has no effect at all. The opponent is also a standing center, two or three centimeters taller than you and stronger than you.

And Okafor didn't expect Dampier to want to play singles. This time, Dampier stepped into the reasonable collision zone.

But Stackhouse didn't pass the ball in, but passed it to Finley who wanted the ball from the middle distance!
Finley had a good start, throwing the ball into the basket when Ye Han interfered.

The small details of the Mavericks' offense just now were noticed by Bickerstaff on the sidelines. He squinted his eyes and looked at the old Nelson on the bench on the other side, thinking that he really is a different coach. The internal contradictions in the team are not concealed in the slightest. Is this directly against the team owner?

Bickerstaff could see that Stackhouse's attitude was obvious. He didn't pass the ball to Dampier, even if he could turn over and dunk directly after receiving the ball, he didn't pass it.

The Bobcats attacked, and Blake dribbled to the frontcourt and threw it to Hill who was cutting in. Hill hit the board and made a throw.

The Mavericks' defense is really bad. Dampier claimed to be the second center in the West when O'Neal was still in the West. After O'Neal traveled east this year, it seemed like a joke. Yao Ming hit 14 goals in 13 shots on his head in the first two months. Stoudemire was directly humiliated, took a 40+18, and dunked on his head consecutively.

The Mavericks took a fancy to Dampier at the beginning and gave him 7 million for 7300 years, just for his defense.

But in the old Nelson's system, there is no defense. Dampier, the inside defensive gate, has to face the direct impact of the opponent's outside line every day because of his poor outside defense.
When Dampier encountered a combination of inside and outside lines, it was even more tragic. He went to defend the opponent's outside line, and then the opponent passed the ball, and the opponent's inside line scored various inside points.

It's time for the Mavericks offense again.

Stackhouse took the lead and rushed to the inside against Hill's defense, but he couldn't get rid of Hill. After reaching the inside, Okafor covered his shot line and forced him to stop the ball.

Stackhouse, Finley, and Daniels are all from Nelson's side. Stackhouse didn't pass the ball to the two inside Mavericks, but forced a pass to Finley near the free throw line.

Ye Han's hand appeared on the passing line and intercepted the ball.

Bobcats strike back!
Ye Han took the ball and rushed to the opponent's basket, turned 360 degrees and dunked successfully.

"Woo..." There was a huge boo at the scene, is it still so arrogant to dunk in an away game?From the point of view of Mavericks' home fans, Ye Han dunked so arrogantly twice in a row, they simply didn't take them seriously!
The obvious intensification of the Mavericks lineup's internal and external contradictions, and the outside line is the one that controls the ball. When the outside line ignores Nowitzki, the super strength of the inside line, and chooses to mess around, it is a disaster for them.It's okay if the opponent's defense is not very good, but when the opponent has Ye Han and Hill two excellent defensive players on the outside, the Mavericks will be in trouble.

When the Bobcats found that the Mavericks' outside trio was not right, they shifted the defensive center to the outside and tried not to worry about the three of them passing to Nowitzki. Unexpectedly, the opponent really didn't pass to the league to score. The inside line with the strongest means is passing the ball between each other, and then forced the shot.

If it was five years ago, Stackhouse and Finley formed an outside duo, they would have no problem playing singles, but now they are both past their prime, one is 31 years old and the other is 32 years old , Ordinary stars have fallen sharply at this time, and their strength is no longer as good as it was back then.I think these two were the two best perimeter players in the 95 class. One was in the East and the other was in the West. They were both good scorers.

The end of these two veterans' persistent shots on the outside is to hit the iron one after another, and the Bobcats counterattacked consecutively.

After Ye Han's willful counterattack and hit a three-pointer, the point difference became 18 to 6, and the Bobcats led by 11 points at the start!
Contrary to many people's expectations, although the Bobcats have Hill to join, but no one would have thought that the Mavericks would be beaten like this!
"The German softball team can't win the championship! Look at how they play, such a good lineup is for nothing." Barkley shook his head.

Barkley's big mouth began to spray again, but fans like to watch TNT's live broadcast because of his big mouth that dares to say anything and is not afraid of offending others.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? I haven't heard that a team without defense can win a championship, and judging by their performance today, they don't even have offense." Another venomous mouth, just changed career as a commentator Former Rockets legend Drexler is even more ruthless than Barkley.

Speaking of which, **** hates the Mavericks.

"No, no, I think the Bobcats' defense is more important. There are two top defensive outsiders, Ye and Hill. Not to mention the two old men, Stackhouse and Finley. It doesn’t work.” Kenny Smith is also bad, and he seems to be trying to save the Mavericks, but in fact, he can tell what it means when he hears it.

"Neither Stackhouse nor Finley are players who are good at organizing offenses. How could Old Nelson, who likes team offenses so much, send them to start together?" Drexler felt very strange.
