I'm really good at shooting.

The start of the game was very unfavorable for the Mavericks.

However, it turns out that this is not the worst.

Nowitzki's layup after a feint was blocked by O'Neal.

Although O'Neal was reluctant to go outside, Phil Jackson designed a new defensive tactic for him, calling it "Shaq defending the basket."

As the name suggests, let O'Neal stay near the three-second zone, and leave the outside defense to his teammates.

This tactic looks clumsy, but it works well.

The Lakers attacked the frontcourt again, and the Mavericks also adjusted their defensive formation, putting up a 2-3 zone defense to protect the basket.

However, after O'Neal hit the back with the ball, he quickly distributed the ball to Kobe after moving.

Kobe catches the ball for a mid-range shot.

"Shh!"

The basketball is firmly in the frame.

Connection from the OK group.

Because of his strong personal offensive ability, O'Neal's passing has been overlooked.

But in fact, his passing is among the best among big men.

Divac is known as a big man who can pass the ball, but in fact, he is not averaging as many assists per game (3.7) as O'Neal (3.8) this season.

In the past three seasons, O'Neal averaged nearly 4 assists per game.After the first quarter, the score on the court was 30 to 20, and the Lakers had already achieved a double-digit lead.

O'Neal scored 12 points, Bryant also scored 8 points.

In the broadcast booth, Su Qun understood what Zhang Weiping said before the match.

O'Neal's physical talent is too explosive, and his golf quotient is too high, knowing what kind of physical condition to use what kind of play.

This big shark, nothing can stop him except injuries.

Of course, there is also Kobe. At the beginning of last season, when O'Neal was on the court, Kobe didn't grab a shot, so that O'Neal had a good time.

He didn't start to take care of everything until O'Neal was off the court.

The result of this is that O'Neal will pass the ball to Kobe as soon as he double-teams.

A balance point has been found between the OK combination. It is not unreasonable for the Lakers to be strong this season.

And misfortunes never come singly. Kukoc sprained his ankle while defending as a substitute in the second quarter.

Although both Sun Hao and Nowitzki were full of confidence before the game, the situation was precarious for the Mavericks.

Old Nelson didn't mean to play Nowitzki in advance, after all, this is just a regular season.

"king."

After hesitating for a while, he walked to the end of the bench and called out.

Wang Zhizhi stood up immediately when he heard the voice.

Although he hasn't played in a long time, he looks like he is always ready.

This attitude is completely different from before.

But it was this detail that made old Nelson's favor towards Wang Zhizhi a lot.

He deliberately stopped Wang Zhizhi when he was about to run to the technical stage.

"On the defensive end, communicate more with your teammates."

Wang Zhizhi nodded repeatedly after listening.

What Old Nelson said was not very important, but it was a great encouragement to him.

Old Nelson finally patted Wang Zhizhi on the shoulder.

Among the people who hope that Wang Zhizhi can play well, old Nelson must be the one with the highest ranking.

A big man who can have a stable mid-range and long-range shot is his favorite type of insider.

Wang Zhizhi came on the stage and the game continued.

At this time, the lineups on both sides of the court.

On the Lakers side, Lynch Hunter, Kobe Bryant, Devin George, Walker, Stanislav Medvedenko.

For the Mavericks, Van Exel, Bell, Najera, Wang Zhizhi, Bradley.

Van Exel missed a long three-pointer.

Looking back, after Kobe singled out Bell, he turned and fell back and made a hit.

Van Exel's layup was chased by Kobe.

The Lakers played a defensive counterattack, and Kobe fast-breaked to the frontcourt and received a pass from Hunter for an alley-oop dunk.As soon as the second quarter came up, the Lakers played an offensive climax under the leadership of Kobe.

The point difference has come to 14 points in a blink of an eye.

Kobe also played a little excitedly. After the alley-oop, he turned his head and stared at Bell coldly.

That expression seemed to say that Bell's so-called Kobe terminator was a joke.

Van Exel still didn't make a three-pointer after shaking Hunter away.

The Mavericks' sixth man was out of shape tonight.

Old Nelson called Sun Hao up and told him to prepare to play early.

Sun Hao took off his training clothes and walked to the technical table, waiting for the dead ball time on the field.

The Lakers attacked the frontcourt, and Kobe broke through with the ball and was double-teamed. He passed the ball to Walker, and Walker took advantage of the layup after receiving the ball.

The Lakers played very well in this small cooperation.

Bryant is also using practical actions to prove that he is not only an excellent scorer, but also an excellent passer.

But at the moment Walker shot, a figure chased from behind him, and shot at the moment he shot.

"Snapped!"

In the incredible eyes of the fans, Wang Zhizhi chased and blocked the goal that Walker was determined to win!

Moreover, he also took advantage of the defensive rebound!

There was a commotion at the scene.

On the Lakers' bench, Phil Jackson was also very surprised.

The Mavericks have two Chinese players, but only one.

This is most people's impression of Wang Zhizhi, the second Chinese player to land in the NBA after Sun Hao, basically has no sense of presence.

But the presence of the ball just now went from 0 to 10 in one go.

Although it is still not very high, it at least reminds people that the Mavericks have a second Chinese player.

Sun Hao was already preparing to play, but after seeing the successful defense, he sat down temporarily.

The defense of the ball just now was very exciting, but it was not too surprising.

Because Wang Zhizhi had blocked David Robinson back then.

Although the physical confrontation is not strong, his wingspan is there, and his defensive talent is not bad.

The Mavericks attacked the frontcourt, and Van Exel finally realized that he didn't feel good, and turned to play organization.

After Wang Zhizhi gave Bell a pick-and-roll, he fell outside the three-point line on the right.

Walker on the opposite side was not familiar with him, so he didn't expand.

Van Exel passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi, and Wang Zhizhi raised his hand and threw it away.

The moment he shot, he could see the confidence in his eyes.

"Shh!"

Basketball hollow into the net.

Wang Zhizhi hit his first three-pointer in this game and the regular season this season!

After scoring the goal, Wang Zhizhi didn't do anything to celebrate, but his eye circles were a little red.

People only know how to cherish after losing.

He had waited too long for this chance again, and after taking it, he got a little emotional.

A short whistle came from the sidelines, and Sun Hao replaced Van Exel.

Sun Hao gave Van Exel a high-five when he came on the court, and then went to pat Wang Zhizhi on the shoulder.

Although Wang Zhizhi wasted a lot of time because he didn't listen to his persuasion.

But everything has two sides. At least in the past year, Wang Zhizhi has practiced three-pointers.

Kobe continued to single out with the ball in the frontcourt, and the shot after the emergency stop went out of the basket under the interference of Bell.

Although not worthy of the nickname "Kobe Terminator" given by Nelson, Bell is indeed the Mavericks' best perimeter defender.

There was a scramble for the basket, and Wang Zhizhi and Walker protected the defensive rebound after confrontation.

It can be seen that he has improved a lot in confrontation than before.

Old Nelson's expression changed a lot.

Originally, he didn't expect too much from Wang Zhizhi, but Wang Zhizhi's performance in these few rounds made him happy.

Wang Zhizhi has finally made progress.

Sun Hao gave Bell a sudden point in the frontcourt, and Bell missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

However, Bradley took advantage of his height to take off the offensive rebound and gave it out after seeing that Wang Zhizhi was empty.

Wang Zhizhi made a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

This time the basketball went out of the basket and missed.

But Bradley grabbed a second offensive rebound.

To say that the only shortcoming of the Lakers now is that O'Neal does not have a reliable substitute.

Bradley gave the ball to Sun Hao this time, and Sun Hao missed the help defense with a fake shot, and then gave the ball to Wang Zhizhi.

And after giving the ball, he signaled Wang Zhizhi to continue shooting.

It's a trust.

After Wang Zhizhi received the ball, he habitually swayed, but it was a bit of a waste of opportunity, Walker had already pounced on him.

However, after a bit of luck, he retreated and made a three-pointer before shooting.

"Shh!"

He made the second three-pointer!

"Roughly, beautiful!"

In the broadcast booth, Zhang Weiping couldn't help shouting.

I judged all the situations today, but I didn't expect Wang Zhizhi to perform so well.

These few rounds make people feel like they are in a dream.

"It's almost ready!"

Su Qun also sighed.

He is based in Dallas, so he knows how hard Wang Zhizhi practiced after that preseason game.

The performance of this paragraph can be expressed with painstaking efforts.

Sun Hao also high-fived Wang Zhizhi while retreating.

"You wasted one of my assists."

Sun Hao said with a smile.

If Wang Zhizhi had just caught the ball and shot it directly, he would have gotten an extra assist.

"Make it up next time."
