The Mavericks started playing team basketball, and it didn't look good.

Although Wang Zhi's shots are decisive and precise, after all, this is a lineup that lacks two cores. When everyone cooperates, it is inevitable that there will be no tacit understanding.

After the offensive efficiency dropped, the point difference was opened by the Lakers.

Fortunately, Wang Zhi didn't maintain the point difference until he rotated the lineup and played some individual offenses with Van Exel, so that he wouldn't be stretched too much.

At the end of the first quarter, the away Mavericks were 11 points behind at 25:36.

Shaquille O'Neal showed great power, scoring 17 points and 7 rebounds in a single quarter, almost penetrating the Mavericks basket, and Bradley even received three fouls in a single quarter [it seems that he can only stay in the second week The bench is on.

For the Mavericks, Wang Zhi had 12 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, Nowitzki had 6 points, and Van Exel had 4 points. Except for these three, the rest of the players rarely scored.

Such a result is not surprising.

Although Wang Zhi seems to be able to adapt to the ball handling work very well in the first quarter, and can also pass the accurate pass.

But compared with the team's main point guard Steve Nash, there is still a big gap.

After Wang Zhi loaded Luka Doncic, although his vision, passing and handling have all been greatly improved, he is not necessarily inferior to Nash in terms of technical mastery alone.

The problem is that Wang Zhi lacks point guard experience.

Before that, he had been playing the third position to open up the space, and he had never played a point guard.

Although Old Nelson saw his potential as a point guard and allowed Wang Zhi to control the ball and organize more in training, but after all, the training time is not long enough and the game experience is very little

On the other hand, the time for Wang Zhi to get in touch with his teammates is also very short, and it is obviously impossible to achieve the kind of tacit understanding between Nash and his teammates in a short period of time.

In the case of Nash's rotation, and the overall feeling is not good, it is reasonable for the Mavericks to stagnate offensively.

Of course, let Wang Zhi play the point guard, the old Nelson does not intend to spoil the seedlings.

As a crazy "experimenter", he clearly knows that some breakthrough experiments have to be done slowly, not in a hurry.

Therefore, this first quarter of the game was really just an experiment for him.

As for the results of the 04 experiment, Old Nelson was very satisfied.

In the second quarter, he let Wang Zhi rest, and at the same time, he let Van Exel sit on the bench during the rotation time.

Then he replaced the team's third ball handler, Avery Johnson, to take on the ball possession task of the rotation lineup.

The Mavericks even played a few water cooler administrators outside the rotation, but the effect was not bad. The Lakers did not seize the opportunity to continue to open the score.

By the time of rotation in the second quarter, the point difference was only widened to 14 points.

At this time, Lao Nier once again formed a changed main lineup. ,

Van Exel, Raja Bell, Wang Zhi, Nowitzki and LaFrentz.

This time, Nelson Sr. put Wang Zhi back to his familiar 3 position, and used Van Exel as the main point guard.

In this way, the offensive power of the Mavericks lineup has been strengthened every day.

The good news is that the Mavericks' overall shooting percentage also picked up in the second half of the second quarter, and the continuous long-range shots showed the characteristics of this team's strong offensive power.

Dirk Nowitzki even stood up and hit a three-pointer, and the Mavericks quickly caught up.

But Kobe, who was in charge of marking Wang Zhi, found that he seemed to be doing some "useless work".

Wang Zhi no longer continuously attacked with the ball like in the first quarter, but just played the role of a normal third position to open up space, and when his teammates were able to complete the attack, naturally he had fewer chances to perform.

After halftime, the Mavericks played away at 58:65, narrowing the point difference to 7 points.

Wang Zhi only made 1 of 2 shots in this quarter and only scored 2 points.

Of course, his waiting time for this section is only 6 minutes.

In Longguo, the Longguo fans who watched the NBA live broadcast would of course have to comment on the game during the intermission.

Today's live broadcast is not the Rockets, but the Mavericks where the villain Wang Zhi is.

The goal discussed by the fans is naturally on him.

"The first quarter was so fierce, I thought the traitor was about to go to heaven, why did it wither in the second quarter?"

"That's not right, where did the traitor's momentum and self-confidence go in the first quarter? Why did he become completely invisible in the second quarter?"

"Ever since Kobe defended himself, traitors didn't dare to attack. If they are so afraid, why are they playing in the NBA? Bullying the weak and fearing the hard?"

Even with regard to the discussion about Wang Zhi, domestic fans are still speaking viciously.

Of course, in this era, most of the Dragon Kingdom fans are not professional, most of them just watch the fun, and applaud if they score a goal, but if they don't score a goal, it must be a bad game.

But it doesn't care about the fact that players have different tasks in different lineups on the field.

In fact, the main reason why Wang Zhi was "invisible" in the second quarter, apart from Nelson's arrangement of his position, was that the main attackers of the Mavericks regained their touch and played sharp attacks!

As the Mavericks' top scorer, Dirk Nowitzki is naturally the first choice on the offensive end.

And Van Exel, who has the ball in his hand and his playing style is more inclined to score by himself, naturally takes the ball and does it.

In this way, Wang Zhi's chances are naturally reduced.

However, in the second half, Old Nelson adjusted the lineup again.

In the second half, he directly let Wang Zhi start, but he didn't play the point guard position like he did in the first quarter.

For the position of ball control, Van Exel was not chosen, but General Johnson took up this responsibility.

The other three are Adrian Griffin, Dirk Nowitzki and Sean Bradley.

This lineup is extraordinary at first glance, and the old Nelson even expressed his intentions to Wang Zhi: "Wang, in the second half, you are in the second position, just let go and play!"

The second position, that is to say, is for Wang Zhi to play shooting guard!

Although in normal training, Wang Zhi has only played in the second position, but this is the first time in an official game.

Of course, Wang Zhi already has considerable confidence in this. After loading the template and having the full level of [Shooting Fake] and level 2 [Dribbling Fake], his single-handed ability with the ball is very strong.

Playing short defenders "He can use his size and weight to play.

When playing big men, you can use the ball to change direction, plus fake moves to hit.

Wang Zhi's strong scoring performance in the first quarter has proved this point.

From this point of view, this game is really a "testing ground" for old Nelson.

That's right, after all, the two core players are resting in rotation, and the opponent is the mighty Lakers. With almost no hope of winning, if you don't train well, isn't the game in vain?

Before going on the field, Nelson whispered a few words to Bradley again.

Beep!

With the whistle of the referee, the second half of the game began.

The Lakers took the lead in attacking, and as soon as it came up, the ball was given to the basket. After O'Neal received the ball, he attacked Bradley under the basket and easily scored 2 points.

In the Mavericks round, Avery Johnson took the ball across the frontcourt and then passed it to Ren Zhi.

Since Wang Zhi only came to the second position in the second half, this time, Kobe didn't need to deliberately look for it, and the matchup was natural.

But right away, the Mavericks' high pick-and-roll came.

Nowitzki comes to Wang Zhi's pick-and-roll, and he hits it just right to kill Kobe's defense.

After Wang Zhi bypassed the pick-and-roll, he faced Walker, who scored consecutively in the first quarter.

This time, Walker once again had both hands on top, and directly stepped forward to interfere with Wang Zhi after switching defenses. On the other hand, Kobe, who was tough in defense, blocked Nowitzki's down position while blocking his position and semi-blocked the pass. The path of the ball, don't let him catch the ball.

I have to say that Kobe's ability to switch defenses after a pick-and-roll is much better than that of Fisher.

Under Kobe's "reminder" in the first quarter, Walker also seemed to find a way to pick and roll to defend Wang Zhi.

But soon, Wang Zhi told him with actions that in the first quarter, it was just that he didn't want to attack!

Seeing that Walker's defense does not meet the conditions for using [shooting fake] at all, Wang Zhi didn't join the ball, but chose to take a step back and make a further distance.

Get past Walker's stance.

In the first quarter, Wang Zhi once used a beautiful pull-back action to knock Fisher down.

Of course Walker remembered this picture.

He knew very well that the boy Long Guo in front of him had good dribbling and changing skills. According to his experience, at this time, the defense needed to keep his position wide open to avoid being missed by the opponent's changing direction.

However, Wang Zhi's dribbling speed and speed are not fast, so he doesn't open up too much space.

Of course, for Wang Zhi, only a little space is needed, and that's enough.

Wang Zhi began to dribble the ball under his crotch, seeing that his opponent was keeping a distance, he suddenly made a change of direction, with his right foot ahead, intending to break through.

Walker fully reflected it, moved the center of gravity, and was about to block it.

Unexpectedly, after making a breakthrough, Wang Zhi retreated quickly, moved his left foot half a step behind, just outside the three-point line, and pulled his right foot back.

Both feet are just outside the three-point line, and at the same time, he has completed the action of closing the ball and raising his hands to prepare for the shot during this retreat.

Surprised, Walker found it difficult to move his center of gravity back, and barely stretched out his hands to take off. Facing the huge difference in body position, he could only catch up.

Of course, he didn't believe that Wang Zhi's wickedly difficult three-point shot could be scored, but he still couldn't help turning his head to look at the basket.

swish!

Hollow into the net!

As soon as he came up, Wang Zhi used the technique of a three-pointer with a step back and successfully scored.

Obviously, even after the intermission, his touch is still hot.

The Lakers fans at the scene were stunned.

"What? Is this guy feeling that good tonight? Can he score this kind of ball?"

"This kind of three-point shot that retreats back is probably more difficult than a three-point jumper that is faded away. It is very difficult to hit, that guy..."

"This seems like a very new technology..."

"It's weird, this kid's hit rate tonight is really crazy..."

Obviously, Wang Zhi's step-back three-pointer technique, which was bad in the league 20 years later, is still a novelty in this era.

Almost no one in the league uses such tricks, just because under the technical characteristics of this era, this kind of shooting is really extremely difficult!

This is the era of the jump shot! A drift shot that moves sideways is difficult enough, but a shot that retreats behind the back is of course even more difficult.

Although Wang Zhi has also used this trick in other games recently, it is probably the first time for Lakers fans and players to see it, so they are naturally a little surprised.

After all, Wang Zhi's popularity in the NBA can only be regarded as relying on a national live broadcast, and his fame has not yet reached

The extent to which he needs to be studied by players and fans of championship teams.

Of course, this is where rookie players have the most advantage.

Because it is "inconspicuous", it is often not targeted.

The Lakers attacked, but the ball still hit the basket, and O'Neal made it easily again.

There is no defense, no double-teaming, and even Bradley's defense at the basket is just raising his hands to interfere.

This is completely different from the Mavericks' strategy of defending the inside in the first half!

In the first quarter, even if the Mavericks did not double-team O'Neal at the beginning, Bradley's defense at the basket would not spare any effort.

But at the beginning of the second half, O'Neal's defense, the biggest offensive strength of the Lakers, almost chose a flat state?

Was it because of Bradley's 3 fouls?

Obviously not, in the final analysis, this 229-meter-high big bamboo pole is just a backup center for the Mavericks. He has very limited restrictions on a top center like O'Neal, and in

The offensive performance is not as good as the starting center Riff LaFrentz, even if he fouls out 6 times, it doesn't have much impact on the Mavericks.

So, what's the reason? Are the Mavericks really going to give up 477?

Anyway, Lakers fans can't understand it.

But the Mavericks fans who watched the live broadcast in Dallas are no strangers to this.

"Mad scientist" Nelson coached the team, anything could happen.

However, there is one thing that excites them.

That was the second half, let Wang Zhi continue to attack again!

Dallas fans are now liking this handsome boy from Longguo more and more, because he can always surprise them on the court.

In the first quarter tonight, Wang Zhi's consecutive scoring made the Mavericks fans see what they were most looking forward to in the "one can't win" game!

These fans certainly expect Wang Zhi to grow into an All-Star player. In this case, the strength of the Mavericks' lineup will be greatly improved!

And Wang Zhi hit a three-pointer with a step-back step at the beginning of the third quarter, which made the fanatical fans watching the live broadcast in Dallas extremely carnival.

Obviously, Wang Zhi's way of playing is very special in the NBA.

The fans in Dallas even felt that he and Nelson were simply "a match made in heaven" for no other reason than that they were both special enough!

The game continued, the Mavericks attacked, Wang Zhi took advantage of the fiery touch, and planned to do it again.

Same pick-and-roll, same substitution, same step-back three.

swish!

Enter again!

The fanatical atmosphere at Staples was cooled down again.

Walker also sighed helplessly: "This guy is really evil. He can get two consecutive tricks? Isn't it too fake?"

At this time, the fans of the Lakers had the same idea as Walker.

Of course, they lead by the score, and O'Neal is still unstoppable on the offensive end, so there is not much to worry about.

But Kobe came over and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, just be defensive, I'll help you!"

The Lakers attacked, and O'Neal scored again.

The Mavericks' defense at the basket still didn't respond.

This allowed O'Neal to score 6 points in a row after the start of the second half.

Compared with Wang Zhi's two "ultra-difficult" three-pointers, it can be said that O'Neal scored the same 6 points without breaking a sweat.

The Mavericks were attacking, and when Kobe had prepared the pick-and-roll and planned to help Walker in the pincer attack, Wang Zhi suddenly made an attack!

He didn't wait for Nowitzki's pick-and-roll to come to the frontcourt, and when he was one meter away from the three-point line, he chose to shoot a three-pointer directly!

In later generations, this kind of long-range three-pointer, or even an ultra-long-range three-pointer is very common.

But in this era, this is another challenging shot.

Kobe didn't expect that the opponent's hot rookie could make such a shot?!

He was a little surprised, but far from surprised.

swish!

It's still a hit!

After scoring the goal, Wang Zhi showed a handsome smile, and looked at his raised hands while retreating.

This touch is really hot!.
