NBA: I haven't played a game but I'm full of talent

"Let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams..."

Sitting in the sideline commentary booth is still the voice of the sun, El McCaw Yin, but the national live broadcast of today's game has been changed to ESPN, so the ones sitting next to him are replaced by Mike Brin and Ke Rhys Mullin.

After Ling Yang and others appeared one after another, the starting lineups of both sides were displayed on the big screen, and several commentators immediately began to introduce them.

The home team, the Suns, still maintained the starting lineup from the previous round against the Clippers.

Inside, Stoudemire partnered with Marion, small forward Ling Yang, shooting guard Bell, and point guard Nash.

Although Kurt Thomas and Diaw both played well in the regular season, D'Antoni has no intention of changing his starting lineup.

Of course, this also has something to do with the Suns' opponents. They are facing the Mavericks instead of the Spurs.

Nowitzki is the top power forward in the league, but his offensive style is not good at inside offense.

If it is replaced by playing the Spurs against Duncan, maybe D'Antoni will consider Thomas playing more.

On the Mavericks side, they also deployed a starting lineup similar to the last game of the regular season.

The center did not arrange to start more Dampier in the last round of the game, but let the young Desagina Diop start, obviously also considering the mobility on the defensive end.

The power forward is naturally the core of the team Dirk Nowitzki and the small forward Josh Howard.

The back line is a little different from the regular season. The original starting point guard Jason Terry took the position of shooting guard, and the point guard was replaced by the younger Devin Harris.

In the last round of the game, Mavericks coach Avery Johnson handed Harris into the starting lineup against Parker, and the effect was very good.

In this round of the game, facing the Suns who are also known for their speed, he continued to retain Harris' starting lineup.

Looking at such a starting lineup, Gentry immediately said to D'Antoni after the starting players of both sides came on the court:

"The Dallas people seem to be quite prepared, and their lineup arrangement is very targeted."

D'Antoni nodded, then turned his head slightly, and said with a smile:

"The game still needs to be based on strength. The players have rested for a few days and are full of energy. A temporarily adjusted lineup like the Mavericks may be a good opportunity for us."

……

D'Antoni is talking with the assistant coach here, and the same is true for Avery Johnson on the other end. For the first match between the two sides, it is obvious that the coaching staff has a lot of things to observe and analyze, and do a good job for the entire next series. Prepare.

At this time, the starting players of the two teams came to the middle of the field.

It was Stoudemire and Diop who jumped the ball. This time, Stoudemire didn't grasp the timing well when jumping the ball. Diop helped the Mavericks get the ball first.

"The game has begun!

! ”

In the commentary booth, after watching the jump ball game officially start, he immediately came to the spirit and raised his voice.

…Harris dribbles across half court and the ball is handed to Terry.

Although Harris is a point guard in this lineup, more of the organization's offensive power is still handed over to the experienced Terry.

Before the game, the coaching staff of the Suns also made a special analysis. Although the Mavericks' offense this season is excellent, they averaged more than 99 points per game, which is close to reaching the [-]% standard.

However, the team's assists are not many, with an average of 18 assists per game ranking second to last in the league.

However, don't think that the Mavericks' offense has no tactics, or that they don't pass the ball much.

It can only be said that on the one hand, the Mavericks players have excellent personal abilities, and on the other hand, the Mavericks players have good ball-handling ability, so they take relatively few shots directly after catching the ball, but rely on holding the ball and dribbling again. The ability to create opportunities is better.

On the court, Terry took the ball and did not attack by himself, but directly handed it to the team leader Nowitzki.

After the start of the game, the Mavericks didn't even have any temptations, and directly gave the ball to Nowitzki for singles, which undoubtedly slightly exceeded the expectations of the Suns.

The Sun's defense is still in the trial stage, and no one stepped forward to attack.

With his back against Marion in the mid-range, Nowitzki dribbled the ball twice, then made a signature jumper after turning around and hit two points.

At the bottom line, Stoudemire quickly delivered the ball to Nash, and after taking the ball, Zonda ran forward with the ball.

In front of Nash, Harris did not lose any position.

In terms of speed, Harris is definitely the best in the league, even in the face of Nash is even worse.

However, as the league's top point guard, Nash is obviously not just fast, but more about controlling the rhythm.

Seeing that the Mavericks' defense was very timely, and he couldn't completely get rid of Harris, Nash slowed down his pace slightly.

Defense, this is actually an important reason why the Mavericks have achieved a very good record this season.

In the case that the team's offensive rhythm is actually faster than most teams in the league at this stage, the Mavericks can limit opponents to 93.1 points in the regular season, ranking 6th in the league.

At this moment, at the beginning of the game, they showed a good defensive intensity.

However, this ball, Nash also played very resolutely.

There was a slight pause outside the three-point line, and then a sudden change of direction accelerated, and Nash dribbled to the inside of the three-point line.

In front of Nash, Harris was not slow, but he was able to keep up, but it was not easy to stop him completely.

The rest of the Mavericks players are ready to help defend at the moment.

"grumble!"

At this moment, Nash, who had just rushed near the free throw line, suddenly made a sudden stop and took off, shooting.

On the Mavericks side, Harris never thought that Nash would choose such a simple, direct but resolute way of attacking.

When he reacted and wanted to defend again, it was already too late to take off, so he could only slightly raise his hand to interfere.

Nash not only shot the ball confidently and resolutely, but also in excellent condition.

"Shh!"

As the basketball fell steadily into the basket, there was a burst of cheers at the scene.

"How fast!

"On the sidelines, Chris Mullin couldn't help sighing.

…. "This time the Suns made the offense, the basketball didn't even pass through the hands of a second person, and it took 7 seconds to attack."

Just as Mullin sighed, the Mavericks on the field had already launched an attack, and Harris dribbled the ball and advanced quickly.

The Mavericks didn't mean to slow down at all, but started a fast-paced offense with the Suns, which surprised the Suns a little.

This round, the sun's retreat was not in place.

Harris quickly advanced to the frontcourt, did not hand the ball to Terry, but directly launched a breakthrough.

Harris is extremely fast, even stronger than Nash. In addition, he is the active offensive player at this time. Nash just didn't notice, and he directly let the opponent break through.

At this moment, the Suns' two inside players had just retreated to the half court, and they hadn't fully settled in time. Seeing Harris breaking through, Stoudemire immediately rushed forward to help defend.

Harris seized the opportunity and sent the ball to Diop who followed up and cut into the inside. After receiving the ball, the latter easily hit the board and hit 2 points.

4:2, the offensive state of the Mavericks after the opening looks very good.

However, such an offensive rhythm is also what the Sun likes.

Nash once again launched a run and bomb. This time he did not choose to shoot by himself, but the offense was also extremely simple.

A simple pick-and-roll with Stoudemire, when the Suns thought that Nash would pass the ball to Stoudemire, Nash chose to pass the ball to Ling Yang who was running from the baseline.

After receiving the ball, Ling Yang did not choose to attack the basket directly, and shot directly from outside the three-second zone, making a hollow hit.

Both sides were attacking with all their strength. For a while, it was very lively when the two teams came and went.

When the game hit the first official timeout, only 3 minutes and 12 seconds later, the score on the court had reached 10:10, showing the excellent offensive state of both sides.

The Mavericks' offense focused on Nowitzki and Terry, who scored 4 points each.

As for the Suns, there were more blooms. Except for Bell who did not score, the other four scored. Stoudemire also scored 4 points on all two shots.

"The offense of both teams is very good, but I think it is obviously not a wise choice for the Mavericks and the Suns to fight for offense. Their overall defense is better than the Suns, which is their advantage."

Taking advantage of the timeout, Mike Breen, who was on the sidelines commentary, analyzed and said.

His words were endorsed by Chris Mullin and McCaw Yin.

However, on the field, the two teams have no intention of adjusting too much for the time being. After all, judging from the opening situation, they both played well.

This official timeout is more about not going through the motions. After the timeout ended, the two sides did not make any personnel adjustments.

The Suns took the lead in attacking, and Nash took possession of the ball and played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire again.

The Mavericks chose Diogu to start, which naturally means to defend against the two pick-and-rolls. However, today Stoudemire has not yet hit the basket because of the touch of the shot, so the defensive effect is not obvious.

At this moment, seeing the two play a pick-and-roll again, the Mavericks players also became alert.

... At the same time, Josh Howard, who was defending Lingyang, immediately became vigilant, because he found that Lingyang was about to move at this moment, as if he was about to run at any time.

The next moment, Howard found that Ling Yang had already moved towards the bottom line when Nash dribbled the ball into the three-point line.

Howard didn't hesitate, and immediately followed, blocking Ling Yang's route to the basket.

"grumble!"

Here, the two had just moved to a distance of about one meter from the bottom line, but Ling Yang stopped suddenly.

Subconsciously, Howard cast his gaze in the direction of Nash, he suspected that Nash was going to pass the ball to Ling Yang.

But what he didn't notice immediately was that at the same time, at the bottom line, two figures had already run over quickly.

Bell and Terry ran over, and Ling Yang, who had just stood still, moved slightly towards the bottom line, and at the same time, lowered his hands forward as a cover.

Bell had been prepared for a long time, and rushed directly from Ling Yang's side with a dodge, and Terry directly bumped into Ling Yang's body.

Under Ling Yang's intentional confrontation, Terry was directly forced to stop.

And because Howard was guarding against Nash passing the ball, he didn't notice the switch in time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bell rushed out directly to the three-point line, and Nash's pass almost followed.

Howard didn't react until Bell received the ball, and Terry came out from Ling Yang's side. Both of them rushed towards Bell, but they were still a step behind.

"Shh!"

With a knife in hand, Bell hit a three-pointer.

"Ling, the block is beautiful!"

Ling Yang and Bell clapped their hands, and Bell could not help but praise Ling Yang.

"Dude, you shot better!"

Ling Yang replied, and then retreated side by side towards the backcourt, and then couldn't help lowering his voice:

"The guys on the opposite side played very well today, and we have to put more defensive pressure on them."

Bell nodded slightly, and he had exactly the same intention.

Ling Yang's opponent Howard didn't score a single point, while his opponent Terry already scored 4 points.

The two were discussing here, and when they fell into the half court, Bell immediately put Terry on the defensive strength and did not allow the opponent to catch the ball easily.

Harris saw that Terry didn't have a good chance to catch the ball, so he thought about dribbling directly to break through Nash.

It's just that he just rushed two steps away, and immediately saw Ling Yang attacking towards this side, and immediately threw the ball out and sent it to Josh Howard's hands.

Howard received the ball, and Ling Yang returned to the defense immediately.

However, Howard did not have any hesitation, dribbling directly broke through and launched an attack.

So far in this section of the game, even Diop has scored, but Howard has never had a chance to make a shot, let alone a shot, and there are not many chances to connect the ball. Ling Yang stared him too hard before.

At this moment, he finally got the opportunity to catch the ball and attack, and Howard didn't want to waste it.

Taking advantage of the moment when Ling Yang rushed back, Howard directly dribbled forward, trying to make a time difference.

However, he obviously underestimated Ling Yang's defense.

"Do not!

"

Just one step forward, Howard bumped directly into Ling Yang's body, and his footsteps couldn't help being stagnant.

Then, he quickly felt the feeling of being entangled by the league's best defensive player.

Howard seemed to be rushing forward, and the person was also moving, but the distance from the basket had hardly shrunk at all.

"Unexpectedly, the Suns took the lead in increasing their defensive strength!" Mike Breen, who saw this scene in the commentary booth, said immediately.

"Jason was closely watched by Raja, and now Josh also encountered strong defense from Ling!

Oh, the ball is going to be lost..."

Mike Breen, who was on the commentary seat, suddenly raised his voice.

But on the field, after pestering Howard for a while, Ling Yang took the initiative to attack!

Howard rushed forward continuously, but after failing to get a good breakthrough space, he took a step back, thinking about opening up space and looking for opportunities again.

But at this moment, Ling Yang grabbed the opponent's robot whose dribbling rhythm was slowing down, took a decisive step forward, and stretched out his hand to grab the basketball!
