Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

Even if Stevenson was replaced to defend, there was still no way to stop Bai Feng's scoring momentum.

11 points in a row!

The difference is only 3 points left in an instant!

At this point, Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle couldn't hold his breath any longer, and immediately put down a timeout.

Just three minutes into the second half, the leading home team called a timeout, which was a bit of a loss.

But there is no way, in the face of Bai Feng alone, he set off a super attack wave, Carlisle did not dare to be too big!

The players on the Knicks bench stood up excitedly and cheered for Bai Feng on the sidelines.

His teammates also gave him high fives and gave him encouragement.

"Bai Feng, just fight like this, it's really great!"

"That's right, Bai Feng, you are in such good shape, you will definitely lead us to victory!"

"Hey, with Bai Feng here, the Mavericks' home isn't so unbreakable!"

The situation that Carlisle was most worried about still emerged.

It is true that the Mavericks are much stronger than the Knicks in terms of overall strength.

But in the NBA playoffs, especially the Finals, it's always "the stage for the superstars.

Throughout the history of the NBA, there are very few teams that have won championships without superstars, and most championship teams have two core players.

In this regard, the biggest disadvantage of the Mavericks is that they only have one superstar, Dirk Nowitzki.

The Knicks look rather incomplete lineup, but they have at least two superstars.

Anthony and Stoudemire, who are already famous super scorers in this league, are still at their peak age, and averaged the league's top ten points per game in the regular season.

The scoring ability of the two of them, if you just pick one out, probably won't lose to Dirk Nowitzki.

In addition, there is a super rookie Bai Feng. Although Bai Feng is still a first-year player, his regular season statistics are only average.

According to the playoffs, he played explosive scoring ability many times!

So far, the strongest individual scoring show in this year's playoffs was played by Bai Feng, who scored 57 points in his first playoff game and led the team to victory.

Afterwards, they faced off against the Heat in the Eastern Conference finals and scored 40+ in two more games.

Although Bai Feng can't perform like this every game, there is no doubt that he has a very strong scoring explosiveness.

To a certain extent, when Bai Feng can play this kind of scoring explosion, then the Kers team has a superstar!

This is the Mavericks' biggest disadvantage.

"Superstars win championships" is a commonplace question.

So Carlisle made it her priority to limit Stoudemire and Anthony!

But obviously, it is not easy to limit this kind of superstar. From their own point of view, the Mavericks have no way to limit him even if the Mavericks have a superstar, the Nowitzki Thunder.

No matter how good the Mavericks' defensive configuration is, it is almost impossible to limit two superstars at the same time.

In this way, Carlisle decided to limit one and let go of the other.

At random in G1, the Mavericks locked Stoudemire, and even if Anthony scored 40+, they could easily win.

In this game, Stoudemire was placed in the rotation in the first half, but he played it, but Anthony was locked again.

So, once again, Carlisle's theory that they can win by locking down one of the superstars is absolutely correct.

However, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, Bai Feng, a super rookie, cannot break out!

G1 Bai Feng scored 27 points and 11 assists. Although he played very well, the Mavericks could accept it.

But now, what Carlisle fears most has happened.

In just three minutes, Bai Feng scored 11 points in a row. He has only seen this kind of explosive scoring in the second half of the Knicks and Bulls, when Bai Feng scored 57 points!

Therefore, he must now call a timeout and adjust.

It's impossible to defend alone, Kidd and Stevenson can't defend, and he must be double-teamed!

Of course, D'Antoni also realized this. After he praised Bai Feng, he exhorted: "Bai Feng, after this suspension, the other party will definitely double-team you. At this time, our other points will have Chance

Naturally, Bai Feng was clear, but when the coach spoke, he listened carefully and responded.

This is due respect for a coach and an elder.

Pause back, the game continues, the Mavericks offense failed.

The Knicks protected the backboard.

In fact, for the Mavericks, apart from Bai Feng's super scoring burst, they were chased so quickly, but their offense was inaccurate after the second half.

Carlisle also mentioned this issue in this suspension, but the Mavericks, the main lineup of one offense and four defenses, was originally that if Dirk Nowitzki could not open, their offense would stagnate, and there was no way out.

Now, the Mavericks can only hope that Dirk Nowitzki will quickly find a touch and restrain the Knicks on the defensive end.

Bai Feng took the ball to the frontcourt, and the double-team came soon. He immediately gave it to JR Smith, who was released.

But the Mavericks' defensive rotation picked up right away, and JR Smith didn't actually get an open shot, but he still chose to dribble to the basket.

There, the Mavs' shrinking defense is ready.

Even if JR Smith's physical fitness is very top, it is still very difficult to break through the basket protected by Tyson Chandler from the front.

At this moment, JR Smith seemed to have some power outages. He wanted to attack, but he felt that it was not right and wanted to pass the ball to his teammates.

But he didn't seem to have made good observations and preparations in advance, and he didn't know where to go.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly saw Bai Feng cut in quickly from the corner of his eye.

JR Smith had an idea and put the ball in front of Bai Feng's route.

Neither Stevenson nor Kidd thought that Bai Feng would launch a surprise attack at this time, and it was too late to react to chase after him!

After Bai Feng received the ball, he immediately exploded!

Tyson Chandler wanted to adjust his position to block Bai Feng, but it was obviously too late.

In the end, he still took off and made the block!

But the difference in position made his cover crooked a little bit.

It is this crooked, a brutal "separation" picture was born.

boom!

The loud dunk sound made the American Airlines Center fall silent for a moment.

Bai Feng's one-armed smashing buckle is both beautiful and violent!

58:59

"Ding, Offensive Pick: Good. Shooting Pick: Excellent. Gain: Solid Value +6, USD +600."

In a sense, this ball is not a real dunk, because Tyson Chandler and Bai Feng have a gap in position.

But from the viewing effect, it is not weaker than the buckle at all!

For the Knicks, who are still 1 point behind, the morale is extremely high!

In front of the Knicks bench, the players inside and outside the rotation have all stood up excitedly, the imitation that should imitate, the towel that should be waving, the exclamation that should be amazed!

On the court, his teammates were also infected by his violent dunk. While retreating, they cheered Bai Feng!

Obviously, against the Mavericks, Bai Feng doesn't need to worry about the problem of retreating in the first place.

After all, this starting lineup of the Mavericks can't play fast breaks, so he dares to leave the top of the arc!

The Mavericks fans at the American Airlines Center were stunned.

"My darling, how could this Asian defender be so fierce? How can he dunk?"

"If I remember correctly, this kid should have won the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest...but he can dunk Tyson Chandler, which is really incredible."

"Damn, can't even the double teams stop him from scoring? We're about to be overtaken!"

That's right, even though the Mavericks double-teamed Bai Feng, Bai Feng still scored another goal by actively moving the ball off the ball.

In this way, his consecutive scoring has come to 13 points!

The whole scene is very favorable for the Knicks.

The Mavericks, at this time, are in trouble.

A timeout was just handed in, and they couldn't have called it again at this time.

Fortunately, they had a Jason Kidd on the court. At this time, the old Kidd calmly encouraged his teammates and said: "It doesn't matter, we just play like this, no problem, pay attention to the card position and protect the rebound!"

The Mavericks attacked, Kidd played steadily, and after giving the ball to Dirk Nowitzki, Marion got a chance through screening and counter-run, and finally scored a goal.

Sure enough, having a seasoned veteran on the playoff stage is incredibly important.

Kidd highlighted his absolute role at this time.

However, Bai Feng's performance is not over yet!

The Mavericks' double-team defense against him could temporarily prevent Bai Feng from scoring consecutively, but Bai Feng's fiery touch didn't last.

After a few rounds of stalemate, Bai Feng broke out again!

He first passed JR's off-the-ball screen, received the ball from Anthony and made a three-pointer!

Immediately afterwards, after the Mavericks scored the rebound, they smartly cut off Nowitzki's ball and scored directly.

When the Mavericks double-teamed, Anthony successfully assisted Anthony to score.

He even used his speed to make Kidd a 2+1 layup with high difficulty.

Bai Feng has gone completely crazy, and in the third quarter, he became unstoppable!

Seeing such a situation, D'Antoni simply didn't make any substitutions, and let Bai Feng play the third quarter with the main force!

The Mavericks have been changing players one after another. Apart from being able to improve their offense slightly, on the defensive end, they can't defend against Bai Feng's offense at all!

Finally, the third quarter, which made the Mavericks fans nervous at the scene, ended.

The Knicks on the road scored a single quarter score of 36:21!

...for flowers...  

Among them, Bai Feng alone scored 27 points and there was no way to stop it.

After three quarters, the Knicks also overtook the score to 81:78.

For the Mavericks, the good news is that the Knicks' main force played the entire third quarter, and then, they must rest, so it's time for the Mavericks to perform in the rotation.

If it is only 3 points away, according to the situation in the last game, it is not a problem at all. I believe that this score will soon be overtaken, or even opened up more.

Despite this, Bai Feng's 27-point performance in the third quarter still left them with lingering fears.

"That handsome boy from the Knicks is too fierce. It seems that we underestimated them. It's better to win this game as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night."

"Coach Carlisle should target him, this guy shoots too accurately from the outside, once he finds the touch, he can block the ball.

Can't stop. "

"Fortunately, the Knicks have a poor lineup this year. If they strengthen their lineup next season, it will be difficult to have a team that is their opponent in this league."

"So, this year will be our best chance to win the championship, and we must seize it!"

Mavericks fans are right at all, they are actually able to correctly recognize the strength of their team.

The configuration of the Mavericks this year is really good, and the performance of the core Nowitzki is also invincible before the finals.

But there are also many problems. They are a single-core team, and the age of the players is not young. The most important thing is that the team's salary space is very tight. After this season, many

The player's contract expires, and it is very difficult to maintain this lineup and remain competitive.

Therefore, this season is indeed the best chance for their team to win the championship, and it is also the last chance!

0

However, something that worries Mavericks fans happened!

They're out of rotation!

Terry and Peja, two sharp shooters who can penetrate Yang at a hundred paces, have begun to strike!

bang!

bang!

bang!

The American Airlines Center seems to have opened a blacksmith's shop, and the fans are also beginning to worry about their non-stop sound of iron.

It is true that as players who are good at shooting, sometimes they may be accurate, but when they are not, they are really not.

It's a trivial matter to strike continuously, and sometimes it is possible to get 0 out of 6 or even 0 out of 10 in the whole game.

This playoffs, the Mavericks hit a bit ridiculously high.

Especially against the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals and the Thunder in the Western Conference finals, the team's hit rate was far higher than their regular season average.

When things are going well, fans say that this is because the Mavericks players are older, more experienced and more stable.

But after the finals, the overall hit rate seems to have started to decline.

G1 is not too obvious, after all they won the game.

Today's first half was okay, but from the third quarter onwards, the drop in the entire hit rate became apparent.

Now, even the bench lineup they rely on to chase points has begun to work like crazy.

Mavericks fans in a hurry!

"No, it's not allowed at this time, are we going to roll over?

"Don't, big brother, give me some strength, this state will be overturned."

"It's over, if we miss the hit rate, our offense will have problems.

Granted, even though the Mavericks have been extremely defensive this season, it still doesn't change the fact that they're a jump-shooting team that relies on shooting.

Since the beginning of the century, Nelson established the predecessor of the Mavericks with the troika of Nowitzki, Nash and Finley.

keynote.

Afterwards, even if old Nelson left the Warriors, Nash joined the Suns, the Mavericks rebuilt, ushered in Jr. Johnson, and after balancing the team, Nowitzki ushered in the peak of his life!

Still lost in the finals, the MVP suffered a black eight, and it was rebuilt to the present.

As long as the Mavericks are based on Nowitzki, it seems that they can't rely on the label of the jumper team.

A bad part is that when the shooting percentage of the whole team declines, it is difficult to hit the basket to attack the toughest attack, then the team's offense will be stagnant.

It's just that throughout the playoffs, the Mavericks didn't have this kind of problem many times. It was only one when they played the Blazers in the first round of the Western Conference.

After that, the state is overwhelmed, people stop killing people, and Buddhas stop killing Buddhas!

They used extremely efficient mid-range and long-range shots along the way, killing the defending champion.

Nowitzki was almost alone in the Western Conference finals to blow up the Thunder team.

to the finals.

However, tonight, the situation that the Mavericks are most afraid of seems to have appeared again.

In this way, the Mavericks, who originally had a huge advantage in their rotation, were completely unable to gain an advantage in the fourth quarter. The consecutive missed shots caused a scoring drought, and they were even beaten by Nick.

The team's poor bench lineup opened up a point difference.

D'Antoni saw this, but fortunately, he also let the Knicks' main lineup rest for a while, so that the final battle of eight. .
