I'm really good at shooting.

The Spurs' opening game was simple and clear. Robinson pulled to the free throw line, the other shooters spread out, and Robinson lobbed the ball to Duncan for a single.

This is the way the Spurs played at the beginning of the century, because Duncan has already shown a strong offensive ability, and there is no need for other tactics at all.

What kind of hammers and pick-and-rolls are all assisted by the evolution of Duncan's offensive ability after his decline.

It was Laettner who defended Duncan on the Mavericks side.

He was obviously overwhelmed, and after Duncan turned around, he wiped the board at 45 degrees and sent the ball into the basket steadily.

The Spurs went first.

The Mavericks attacked, Nash and Nowitzki played a pick-and-roll, after the split, Nowitzki received the ball and went down.

He squeezed past Anderson, who was switching, but just as he shot, Robinson went back to the basket and gave him a big risk!

Although he is 35 years old, the "Admiral" still averaged 2.5 blocks per game this season.

When Duncan puts the focus on the offensive end, he is the biggest defensive barrier inside the Spurs.

The Mavericks sent a sideline ball, and Finley took a step to the middle distance after receiving the ball.

But Duncan's defensive area is huge, and he threw it out to interfere with him. His shot hit the frame and the rebound was accepted by Robinson.

In the frontcourt, the Spurs still use the same tactics.

Nowitzki helped defend, and Duncan passed the ball directly to Robinson.

Robinson completed the shot before Nowitzki returned to defense.

The ball was thrown too hard and bounced off the back edge of the basket.

Duncan's long arm pressed Laettner to grab the offensive rebound, and then shot and caused the latter's defensive foul.

Laettner was completely overwhelmed.

This is also the epitome of the two sides after the opening.

The Spurs' twin towers suppressed the Mavericks on both offense and defense.

The game fell into Popovich's favorite rhythm.

The two sides played for 5 minutes, and the score on the field was 12 to 4.

8 points does not seem to be a big difference, but in this extremely slow pace, it is very difficult to catch up.

And the Mavericks failed to score for nearly 2 minutes.

Nelson Sr. was forced to call a timeout.

During the timeout, Popovich stood up from his seat with a smile, and did not forget to look towards the old Nelson in the next half.

That expression seemed to say: That's it?

"Speed! Bring up the speed! Don't be led into their rhythm!"

Old Nelson looked around, then raised the decibel and said.

Mavericks and Spurs play games, it depends on whether the rhythm is fast or slow, and whoever enters the familiar rhythm will have the advantage.

"Steve, Sun, speed."

After setting up the tactics, he still reminded Nash and Sun Hao.

Back from the timeout, the Spurs had substitutions and adjustments. Danny Ferry replaced Robinson, and Duncan swung to the fifth position.

This is not an active substitution, especially at this time.

Obviously, this is because David Robinson is not physically fit enough to guarantee his normal rotation after he gets older.

In the first round back from the timeout, it was still Nash's possession.

However, the offense of the Mavericks has grown a lot from the front. The biggest change is that Nowitzki has also been pulled to the outside.

The Mavericks have a lot of space on the court.

Nash broke through and scored, and Nowitzki made a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

"Dangdang!"

The shot was a bit short and hit the front of the rim.

If the game is compared to 2K, Nowitzki has entered a state of frosty hands after facing off against Duncan.

On the sidelines of the scene, Popovich and assistant coach Steve Kerr talked with a smile and looked at Nowitzki from time to time.

Although no one could hear what they were saying, it was clear that it had something to do with Nowitzki.

And, obviously, not a good thing to say.

This is also a reasonable reaction. Popovich's attitude in the interview before the game has already shown that he is not interested in Nowitzki now.

The Spurs attacked the frontcourt, and Duncan continued to play low singles.

The Mavericks contracted, and Duncan distributed the ball to Ferry on the outside.

Ferry is a power forward with three-point range, making 42 percent of his attempts this season.

"Dangdang!"

But maybe it was cold hands when he first played, and his first three-pointer attempt failed to hit.

Nowitzki grabbed the rebound that popped out.

The Mavericks directly pushed the third-line fast break.

Nash dribbled past Burt behind his back, advanced to the frontcourt and was assigned to Sun Hao who followed up on the right.

Sun Hao catches the ball and makes a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Knife up and down.

7 is better than 12!

The Mavericks broke the scoring drought on the court!

Duncan continued to score outside the frontcourt, and Anderson, who received the ball, still didn't make a three-pointer.

The Spurs' outside shooters are a little out of shape tonight.

The Mavericks pushed the fast break again, but Finley failed to hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

Amidst the sound of hammering iron, it was still Duncan, who turned around in the front court and hit the board with a hook into the frame.

The stone Buddha in the holy city is as stable as a rock.

7:14.

The Spurs continued to maintain their lead.

And more importantly, the speed that the Mavericks were about to raise just now was forced to drop because of the goal just now.

The smile on Popovich's face couldn't be hidden any more.

If you can't beat it, you can't beat it. Old Nelson's random shooting tactics are not elegant.

The Mavericks were in the frontcourt, and the Spurs were very defensive, and a whistle suddenly sounded on the sidelines.

It turned out that the 37-year-old veteran Porter had dirty mouth and hands when defending Sun Hao.

Obviously, the fast-break three-pointer Sun Hao hit earlier made the veteran a little upset.

You must know that the Mavericks haven't scored too much for a long time.

An ordinary foul, the referee also gave Porter some warnings by the way, and the game continued on the court.

Nowitzki was strictly guarded, Sun Hao ran without the ball, and came out to catch the ball and fake a three-pointer.

Porter fought hard to defend, but the blow was completely missed.

Sun Hao made a false shot and made a real breakthrough. He went inside and saw Duncan jumping out and then scored for Laettner. The latter finally made a quick shot and scored two points.

The Mavericks, it is rare to form a position.

Duncan received the ball in the frontcourt and continued to be double-teamed, and this time the ball was distributed to Porter.

Sun Hao didn't rush very close, but directly responded with an eye for an eye, using the trash talk that Deng Huade taught him before.

"You don't dare to shoot, you haven't made a three-pointer from outside."

"Go ahead, I won't guard against you, but you can't get in either."

Very clean trash talk, but it annoyed Potter very much.

When he was young, he was also close to 17+10 in Portland for several consecutive seasons, and he belonged to the star of the last century.

Sun Hao didn't respect an old player like him at all.

He voted straight away.

But just as he was casting, Sun Hao suddenly rushed forward.

That posture, it looks like it has been prepared for a long time.

"Dangdang!"

Porter's three-pointer was interfered and hit the frame.

His expression was extremely surprised, because just now Sun Hao said that he was not defensive, but he still defended, shameless!

Sun Hao completely ignored him and ran straight forward.

In fact, when Deng Huade taught him those trash words, he didn't care too much.

Because he feels that the old fritters in the NBA are not so easily irritated.

But after so many games, he found that the reality was very different from what he had imagined.

The biggest reason, I'm afraid, is his rookie status, the trash talk he spouts comes with a disrespectful damage buff.

Unless it is an old fritter who has been immersed in trash talkers like Bird, Payton, and Reggie Miller for several years, it is easy to get caught.

The Mavericks rushed to the frontcourt, and this time Porter caught up with Sun Hao.

After Sun Hao received the ball, he saw that Nowitzki had already run to the frontcourt. After a false pass, he took the ball and stepped back under his crotch to shoot a three-pointer.

The ball was difficult, but with the badge of veteran dribbler, he could feel that the ball was getting rid of more smoothly, and he knew it was close to each other the moment he took the shot.

"Shh!"

Dallas didn't let him down at the rim, leaving the door wide open for him to enter.

Sun Hao hit his second three-pointer!

"Just work harder, and you'll be able to stop me."

After Sun Hao scored the goal, he looked at Porter and said.

Jordan's classic trash talk, sincerity.

Potter himself spoke first, but Sun Hao's counterattack was much more ferocious than he had imagined.

This time, he was finally angry.

You must know that this is not the first time the two teams have played against each other, nor is it the first time he has defended against Sun Hao.

But Sun Hao's reaction this time was completely different from the previous two games.

This is the human being, and he is greatly offended when something he is accustomed to suddenly changes, even if it does not seem to be taken for granted.

"How dare you do that? How dare you say something like that?"

He pushed Sun Hao directly, and pointed at Sun Hao, spraying continuously.

Sun Hao didn't respond either, he spread his hands and backed away with an innocent expression.

The referee immediately blew his whistle and gave Porter a technical foul.

Come on, it's home for the Mavericks!

Nowitzki was not far away. He wanted to help, but soon found that it was not necessary.

His little brother... has really gone bad!

Popovich walked from the bench to the sidelines and pulled Porter to the sidelines to calm his nerves.

The brief conflict was quelled, and the Mavericks made a free throw.
