I'm really good at shooting.

The other is to have an absolute advantage one-on-one, forcing the opponent to double-team and then play the ball.

This is basically the way the Lakers broke the zone defense. Kobe or O'Neal made a strong attack, and then double-teamed the ball.

That's what the Mavericks can do right now.

The Timberwolves are tall overall, but there are weak spots in zone defense.

That point is Sun Hao's old European acquaintance Szczerbiak.

At this time, Sun Hao can completely use it.

"That's your girlfriend? She looks nice."

Just as Sun Hao was thinking, Garnett's voice came from his ear.

Chapter 224 Press the "Switch"

"What, you want to drink her bath water?"

Sun Hao replied.

Garnett's trash talk, he was impressive last season.

Including what he heard when he passed by the training hall today.

So he had already made mental preparations.

And he also knew that the purpose of Garnett's trash talking was to annoy his opponents.

If the opponent is provoked to violent fouls or even criminals, then his goal will be achieved.

Conversely, if you don't respond, morale will be hit, and you may even suffer internal injuries.

This is why trash talking has become a traditional NBA craft.

Because its return on investment is too high.

Garnett's sentence just now seemed to be a greeting, but it was full of teasing. Although it was not as bad as "your wife tastes like a donut", it was also standard trash talk.

Sun Hao's way of fighting back is to talk trash.

He has never eaten pork but has seen pigs run. Sun Hao has seen countless comments from fans on social media in his past and present lives.

Coupled with the fact that he was influenced by Deng Huade, it is more than enough to pick out some to fight back.

If you often walk by the river, you can never get wet shoes.

It's not that Garnett hasn't been sprayed back when he sprays others.

But Sun Hao's answer didn't follow the routine, and he couldn't answer immediately.

"Don't be embarrassed, if you really want to drink, you can go and squat in the sewer of my house, and it's enough."

Sun Hao continued.

The sewer system in the United States is much larger than that in China, and even a big man like Garnett can fit it.

"you!"

Garnett was furious at once.

Originally, he wanted to provoke Sun Hao, but he didn't expect Sun Hao to fight back so quickly!

But he finally took a long breath, turned his head and ignored Sun Hao.

Heh, Sun Hao wants him to be fooled, let him be sent off, so he won't be fooled!

Sun Hao was also taken aback when he saw Garnett's reaction.

He was ready to have a conflict with Garnett, after all, his trash talk just now was worse than Garnett's.

But Garnett's reaction was beyond his expectations.

This... what about Iron Blood?

This scene is just a small episode on the field.

On the defensive end, the Mavericks struggled to defend against a wave of offense from the Timberwolves.

Old Nelson stood up from the bench, his eyes followed Nash who was advancing with the ball and looked forward.

The Mavericks only scored 5 points in 5 minutes, and the offense had a big problem.

He also knows that it has something to do with the Timberwolves' zone defense, but the problem is that the Timberwolves' offensive success rate is high, and the Mavericks can't get up quickly.

He now needs someone to stand up and score tough in the positional battle.

Sun Hao reached the frontcourt and waved to Nash.

Nash is not Fisher, and there is no need to wait for Sun Hao to shout "give me the damn ball".

Although Sun Hao forced him to eat dog food, he still had great trust in Sun Hao.

There was even a tacit understanding between them. After giving the ball to Sun Hao, he signaled the others to move to the two wings.

If Sun Hao wants the ball at this time, he must do it alone.

Sun Hao was on the right wing, and Szczerbiak was in charge of that area.

Szczerbiak knew that Sun Hao's three-pointer was accurate, and he rushed forward immediately.

At this time, we have to mention a weakness of zone defense.

Because it is responsible for the defense of the area, the defensive position will not be as tight as man-to-man, so once you encounter a player with a good combination of sudden shots, the defensive opportunity will be relatively passive.

Sun Hao saw Szczerbiak's movement, and he squeezed past him with a fake throw.

The Timberwolves' zone defense immediately mobilized, Garnett on the weak side immediately came to help defend, and Szczerbiak also chased from behind again.

2 against 1 in the zone.

However, Garnett knows Sun Hao's passing ability, and he has spare energy to supplement the defense when assisting in defense.

He's still confident in his defensive coverage.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Sun Hao immediately stopped and shot!

This choice was very sudden, no matter how fast he was, he was slow when he rushed over.

The ball spun over his long arms and headed for the hoop.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Sun Hao made a mid-range hit against Garnett's defense!

The Mavericks broke the scoring drought on the field!

Old Nelson clenched his hands into fists.

This ball hits two, and the goal is beautiful.

There was also loud cheers at the scene.

Sun Hao's key goal did not disappoint them!

Scarlet also smiled and applauded Sun Hao.

Although he had seen Sun Hao play again after many years in Los Angeles.

But now that the two recognize each other, coupled with the rapid development of the relationship, the feeling is completely different.

Sun Hao turned his head and saw Scarlett's smile, and recalled the scene in EBA.

Although the current Scarlett is mature and stable, she no longer flirts with her heart and blows kisses like she did back then.

But seeing her smile, Sun Hao felt refreshed all over.

He needs to score more points!

Old Nelson also signaled the team to put up a 2-3 zone defense at this time.

He has been observing since the beginning of the game, and he found that the Timberwolves' lineup is a little weaker in outside shooting.

Garnett's organization, Billups missed a three-pointer, and the rebound was accepted by LaFrentz.

The Mavericks immediately pushed the defensive counterattack, and Nash made a fast break layup.

The tall lineup of the Timberwolves has a good zone defense effect, but the defense speed must be slow.

In front, the Timberwolves have a high offensive success rate, and the Mavericks can't push up the speed.

But the Timberwolves didn't score the goal just now!

9:12.

The Mavericks scored 4 points in a row and narrowed the point difference to 3 points.

Garnett continued to organize the frontcourt, this time he split the ball to Szczerbiak.

Szczerbiak's shooting percentage is as high as 45.5% this season, making him one of the most accurate players in the league.

This has a lot to do with the league's trend of zone defense. He can use Garnett's containment to get a lot of opportunities on the outside.

But he underestimated the ability of the Mavericks zone defense.

Not long after the start of the season, the Mavericks have been playing this set of joint defense and counterattack, and the speed of assisting defense is faster than the average team.

Sun Hao interfered with him when he caught the ball.

"when!"

Neither did his shot!

Nowitzki protected the defensive rebound, and the Mavericks pushed the defensive counterattack again.

This time Nash gave the ball to Sun Hao who followed up from the right, and Sun Hao immediately stopped and chased for a three-pointer.

This choice is very Sun Hao.

"Shh!"

But the result is also very Sun Hao!

The emergency stop and chase three-pointer has become one of Sun Hao's iconic scoring methods!

12 flats!

Sun Hao led the team to a 7-0 spurt, tying the point difference!

This is really because you spent almost half a quarter to widen the gap, and I will chase it back for you in 1 minute!

Garnett's face was a little ugly.

The Timberwolves suppressed the Mavericks in front of him, so he felt that he would be ashamed tonight, but this was a goal.

It felt like... That day, people were reminded of the fear of being dominated by giants.

The night of the 58-point fiasco!

No, absolutely can't let that happen again!

If the battle between the Spurs and the Mavericks in the fast and slow playoffs last season was at the S level, then today the Timberwolves and the Mavericks are at the SS level.

Once the tall zone defense lineup is dragged into a fast pace, it will be a dead end.

There is only one way to avoid this situation, which is to score the ball on the offensive end as they did in the first half of the first quarter and not give the Mavericks a chance to play fast.

In the frontcourt, Garnett received the ball in the high post.

His option...or jump shot.

"Shh!"

He followed up on Finley's jumper.

After scoring, he beat his chest hard.

This is Iron Blood!

But he hasn't finished beating yet, and the Mavericks have quickly advanced to the frontcourt.

Sun Hao catches the ball from the three-point line and shoots directly without any hesitation.

The Timberwolves' retreat was slow, and only Billups rushed over, but failed to catch up.
