Legend of Tomorrow

? Zhang Liji smiled and said: It won't work without double-teaming Guo Xu. He attacks Kaleidoscope, and Terry can't catch up with just one fake move.

Xu Jicheng said: Guo Xu really can't beat anyone at the 1st position. Even Iverson can't stand it. Kidd's speed is slower than before after surgery. I think he will have to dominate the perimeter for 5 to 10 years.

Zhang Lijia smiled and said: Nash was often beaten by Guo Xu in the playoffs. Everyone said that Nash was not good and was a defensive black hole. The Mavericks were unwilling to pay him a high salary. As a result, Nash led the team to rise as soon as he arrived with the Hawks. He is very good in organizing offense and individual shooting. Many people now think that he is second only to Guo Xu.

Xu Jicheng also laughed: The Mavericks have suffered a big loss. They signed Dampier with a high salary and let go of a star for nothing. Nelson and Cuban have been in conflict over this, and the coach almost doesn't want to work anymore.

The conflict between Nelson and Cuban is irreconcilable, and Nelson's rights in the team have been emptied. Cuban is keen to get involved in team management and believes that Nelson is unreliable. Last year's five-star Mavericks is ironclad proof. As a result, judging from the signing of Dampier, Cuban is obviously even more unreliable. Although the team lacks a center, this choice is really miserable.

Nowitzki was singled out in the low post and was double-teamed by two people. He wanted to pass the ball to Mbenga but was blocked. He passed the ball to Harris on the outside. The latter failed to quickly transfer to Mbenga who was open on the right. Choosing to force a breakthrough, Joe Johnson followed up and made an emergency stop jumper.

Stoudemire grabbed the rebound and passed it to Howard, who passed half court to Guo Xu.

Guo Xu received the ball from outside the three-point line and hit it non-stop to Joe Johnson who was asking for the ball from behind. Although the Mavericks players returned to defense quickly enough, there was a misplaced singles opportunity.

Joe Johnson caught the ball, leaned back twice and turned to the right, feinting with the ball in both hands, causing Harris to jump up. Harris couldn't bear it and lost half of his body. Being short, he couldn't interfere without jumping. His inexperience was exposed.

Joe Johnson took a step forward and bumped into Harris to push the ball toward the basket. The ball missed but resulted in a foul. He steadily made two free throws, 11-4.

Harris committed two fouls at the start and was forced to leave the game to guard the water cooler. He is rough on both offense and defense and currently only relies on his body to play.

The astonishing speed can give Harris a clear advantage on the offensive end, but he is a tragedy on the defensive end. He is 191cm tall and weighs only 84kg. How could he possibly be able to carry Joe Johnson, who is 201cm tall and weighs 108kg? Joe Johnson's strength is among the top among swingmen, on the level of James, Artest, and Pierce.

If Harris is on the court, the Mavericks can use a little more tactics. He and Terry can play fast breaks, and then the Mavericks can only grind out the position.

Marquis Daniels came off the bench. He is a swingman with a height of 198cm and a weight of 91kg.

He entered the NBA as a non-draft player and was the brother of Howard in his previous life. He was also known as the Dallas Double Ugly.

How ugly is he? Even NBA2K games were unwilling to make his original face, and just gave him a vague image. Making his real face was a test for the game production team.

The Mavericks lacked a swingman, and Marquez benefited from this. He averaged 29 minutes per game and scored 10.2 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists. He is an important rotation for the team.

The game continued, Terry played a pick-and-roll and then distributed the ball. Nowitzki caught the ball and hit Guo Xu for a jumper. 11 to 6.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu gave a signal to his teammates and passed the ball to Joe Johnson. He can hold the ball in singles or organize.

Guo Xu first ran to the right corner. Stoudemire pulled out a ball-free screen to block Terry. Guo Xu quickly ran up the line. Joe Johnson passed the ball. Mbenga was pulled out by Guo Xu. He couldn't change his defense. , Guo Xu can take a shot after receiving the ball.

Guo Xu took the ball and changed direction in the middle, hitting the ground and passing the ball to Joe Johnson, who cut into the penalty area and asked for the ball with his back.

The Suns also have a more complicated strategy, but they rarely play. They can usually defeat their opponents by relying on one-on-one combat. Stoudemire stood in the middle to attract the defense, and Marion was in the left corner. If Nowitzki returned to the basket to double-team, Joe Johnson would be free to pass the ball.

Nowitzki was afraid of turning a two-pointer into a three-pointer, so as Marion did not double-team, Joe Johnson took the ball and turned to the baseline and forced a shot, relying on Marquez to hit a one-handed throw. 13 to 6.

He is unreasonable and just relies on his body to eat hard.

The Mavericks attacked with a pick-and-roll, but Guo Xu was not active in pursuing the defense and began to let go. Terry scored the ball, and Nowitzki easily shot the ball against Guo Xu. 13 to 8.

Because there are so many such scenes, it is impossible for Guo Xu to be selected for the best defensive team. If he can be selected for this, the league will be a bit unscrupulous in promoting stars. Among short guards in his previous life, Paul was often selected for the All-Defensive Team and was much more active than him.

But if Guo Xu doesn't do this and defends desperately in every game, the Suns will have more garbage time games in the third quarter. He can't average 35 minutes per game, so what data record will he break?

It has become a habit of Guo Xu to let go when playing against weak teams. As long as he can concentrate on the defensive end and go all out in the playoffs.

When the Suns attacked, Guo Xu played a pick-and-roll in the middle. After a change, he suddenly accelerated and passed Mbenga. He drove to the basket on the right side, attracting Nowitzki to cover up, and passed to Marion on the left, who was in the corner. Hit an open three-pointer. 16 to 8.

Zhang Liji said with a smile: Marion's shooting posture makes people not want to guard him at first sight, but when he leaves the ball open, he really scores.

Xu Jicheng said: He has a 33.7% three-point shooting rate this season and can make 1.2 goals. This shooting rate is considered qualified.

The Mavericks' offense was very simple. Nowitzki caught the ball after a screen and made a jumper from outside the three-point line. Guo Xu couldn't cover it and didn't even jump. Nowitzki didn't grasp the touch well and the ball missed.

Marion grabbed the rebound and passed it to Guo Xu for counterattack, and there was a mismatch on the court.

Guo Xu changed direction and passed Nowitzki while running, and his center of gravity dropped so low that Nowitzki didn't even think of fouling him.

He attracted Finley to cover and pass the ball. Howard was free and dunked the ball with both hands. 18 to 8.

Guo Xu quietly sent out five assists, and all five starters scored. Nelson was the first to request a timeout.

Before the game, Nelson asked the players to guard against three-pointers and not allow the Suns players to take easy shots from the outside. Last season, they were crushed by the Suns' outside shots.

Today, under Guo Xu's organization, the Suns players did not mainly shoot three-pointers. They withdrew the inside line from the basket and then stormed into the penalty area. The Mavericks' inside line was blown to pieces and they were not defended even once.

Mbenga is in his rookie season this year. Not only does he have no skills, but he also doesn't have any NBA experience. It's strange that he can defend him. If it weren't for the fact that the Mavericks had no one available inside, Mbenga would not have been able to start. His ability would only make him a marginal player on any team.

Nelson did not emphasize defense after the timeout, but replaced Mbenga and replaced Van Horn, who can shoot and have skills, as the power forward, and Nowitzki took over the center position.

According to the theory of the mad scientist, when a team cannot beat a team, it must lose with dignity, that is, attack with the opponent and score more points.

Nelson has no choice but to do this. Even if he is good at arranging defensive tactics, the Mavericks currently have no players who are good at defense.

The introduction of Dampier is a disaster. It will be difficult for the Mavericks to strengthen the inside line in the future. This guy locks up the team's salary space.

Dampier was a spectator on the sidelines today. Although he couldn't play, he still came to support his teammates. He wore a suit and tie and looked like I am a good teammate. However, the audience didn't buy it at all. When the cameraman gave Dampier a close-up shot, some home fans directly booed.

It’s so embarrassing that Dampier is still smiling…
