Nba: This Superstar Is Too Stable

Opening 10:0, this is the attitude of the Knicks!

And the results they have prepared in the past three days.

This attack wave also directly stopped the Mavericks, and the fans at the scene were even more excited.

Anthony, who scored 5 points in a row, once again encouraged his teammates to say: "We just play like this, they are sure to lose!

The timeout ended, the game came back, and the Mavericks didn't make any substitutions.

When the Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki began to drop down and get closer to the basket. As soon as he came up, he posted a single Turiaf and finally ended the Mavericks' scoring drought.

10:2

The Knicks attacked, Bai Feng gave the ball to Anthony again, and the Mavericks' defense was unambiguous, and they went straight to double-teaming.

Anthony passed the ball out, and after some transmission by the Knicks, JR Smith broke through the basket and attacked, but unfortunately, under the interference of Chandler, he was not able to score.

The Knicks' offense was broken.

Some fans were a little worried and began to complain.

"What is JR doing? Can't shoot directly? Is he going to rush to the basket?"

"Gan, it seems that JR is starting to get nervous again today.

"Mass, can JR grow his brains!"

At this moment, the harshness of the Knicks fans is undoubtedly revealed, of course, it is not surprising, after all, this is a game they cannot lose.

If the momentum is cut off because of this, it is very unacceptable.

The good news, though, is that the Knicks' momentum hasn't waned as a result.

The Mavericks attacked. After Turiaf gave enough aggressive confrontation, Nowitzki once again missed a low single shot, after Stoudemire protected the back long rebound.

Bai Feng advanced with the ball, and after playing a wonderful pick-and-roll with Stoudemire, he assisted the latter and scored another 2 points!

12:2

The atmosphere at the scene exploded again, and the Knicks have made the most of their home field advantage!

After the game, although the Mavericks recovered somewhat, they were able to score some goals off and on.

On the defensive end, it also gave the Knicks some defensive pressure by shrinking the defense.

But in general, the effect is not good, the Knicks are still expanding their advantage little by little in the monstrous cheers of the home fans.

After 8 minutes of play in the first quarter, the Knicks have led by as much as 12 points at 25:13!

Subsequently, the two sides entered the rotation. Although the Mavericks' rotation lineup was very strong overall, in the next 3 minutes or so, they did not hit too much attacking waves, but only recovered the score a little bit.

After the first quarter, the Knicks led by 31:20 at home by as many as 11 points.

Anthony and Stoudemire are on!

In the first quarter, the two scored 11 and 10 points respectively.

A single quarter scoring in double figures, in this case, the Knicks are still difficult to lose the game.

Resting between festivals, sitting on the bench, the two were also talking and laughing, and there was absolutely no tension in the life-and-death battle.

And the fans at the scene cheered and cheered more and more feverishly.

Soon, the second quarter of the game came, and the Mavericks' rotating lineup of shooters still failed to fully fire, especially Peja, who made three consecutive three-point shots and was completely out of state.

Fortunately, Jason Terry and Barea help the Mavericks get points through breakthroughs.

But the Knicks' rotation players are playing very aggressively!

If you can't score, then try to grab the rebound, form a second attack, and then score the ball!

It's just a life-threatening game!

It's also the right way to play, after all, this is the home court!

After all, D'Antoni's is better than blind mobilization!

In these few minutes, the Mavericks' rotation has not achieved any advantage!

Seeing such a scene, the Knicks fans are crazy again!

"Hahaha, it's stable, the Mavericks' most murderous bench lineup has not been played, then we will definitely have a big win tonight!"

"It seems that the Western Conference champion is nothing special. It is like us. We are lucky to reach the finals. If there is a defending champion Lakers, we are really not good at fighting."

"Those stupid bird experts will only talk nonsense all day long. If the Mavericks hadn't shot exceptionally well, it seemed that there was nothing to be afraid of!",

Indeed, the Mavericks' performance tonight can only be described as mediocre, even a little bad.

In the eyes of Knicks fans, there is really nothing to fear.

They looked too old, couldn't jump high, couldn't run fast, and didn't have the kind of blitz pressure the Heat could give.

In addition, the Mavericks, with only one core player, are still quite dependent on shooting. Once the shooting is inaccurate, even if it only needs to be normal, then there is really nothing to be afraid of.

After that, the two sides changed back to the main lineup, and the Knicks' double-C was another rapid operation, and the difference came to 15 points all of a sudden!

The situation is really bad for the Mavericks who are on the road.

But the coaching staff headed by Carlisle seemed quite calm at this time.

When the difference reached 15 points, Carlisle called a timeout.

He still performed very steadily. After calling all the players over, he told them to start their zone defense on the defensive end!

United Defense Dafa!

That's right, this is the ultimate killer move for the Mavericks!

The Mavericks' ultimate move isn't a dead end without Dirk Nowitzki, nor is it a rotating group of shooters that feel hot.

The real killer is the joint defense method established on the basis of the main lineup of one attack and four defenses!

In the coaching circle, Rick Carlisle has always been known as a "tactical master". In fact, his tactical arrangement on the offensive end can only be said to be average, qualified, or excellent, far from being a genius.

But on the defensive end, especially the study of zone defense, in the entire NBA, he can even be said to be second to none, even more sophisticated than Popovich.

Let's take a look at the Mavericks' road to promotion. Whether it is sweeping the defending champion Lakers or eliminating the talented Thunder youths 4:1, the zone defense has played a very crucial factor in this.

Perhaps the fans only saw the Mavericks' unsolved three-pointer in a single round, and only saw the unsolved singles of Dirk Nowitzki.

Because most of the fans, they will only pay attention to whether the offense is playing well or not. As for the defense, they don't care too much.

But in fact, the Mavericks' endlessly changing joint defense routines played a determinative factor!

And in this, the value of the player Kidd has been truly reflected!

The reason why the Knicks didn't use the zone defense in the first two games is because they have a big advantage at home, and they haven't used it yet.

In tonight's G3, the Knicks showed great momentum as soon as they came up, especially the two All-Stars, Stoudemire and Anthony, under the tandem of Bai Feng, they played a very aggressive offensive on the offensive end, in contrast to the slump in the past two games. efficient performance.

Under such circumstances, the Mavericks had to come up with their secret weapon!

The timeout is over, the game is back, and the Mavericks have clinched a political round.

The Knicks attacked. At this time, D'Antoni on the sideline saw the opponent's position on the court and not only frowned.

Here comes the true form of the opponent!

Mike D'Antoni has seriously studied the Mavericks, and it is impossible for him not to know how powerful the Mavericks are.

All kinds of complex zone defense transformation is the most powerful place for this Mavericks team!

Looking at the entire NBA, no team can be so accomplished in zone defense, not even the Spurs under Popovich.

If the Mavericks' zone defense is considered top-level, then the Spurs can only be regarded as intermediate at most, and the rest of the teams in the league will either not be able to zone defense, and even if a few teams occasionally use it, they can only be regarded as primary.

This defensive tactic, which was once banned by the NBA, returned to the NBA at the beginning of the century, and it is still rare for teams to use it and use it well for ten years.

For example, a new coach like D'Antoni doesn't like zone defense at all.

Because this tactic is too complicated to train, it requires strong team coordination, and it also requires one or two defensive core players on the field.

Once the practice is not enough, and it is not used well on the field, this kind of complex defensive tactics will even have side effects.

In this way, because the practice cost is too high, not many teams in the league will focus on practicing zone defense tactics, which also causes most teams to not study how to attack.

United defense.

And the Mavericks, the master of this defensive tactic, have never been an imaginary enemy of any team before the start of the playoffs, let alone no one pays attention to them.

However, when the Mavericks took down one strong enemy, those teams began to regret not having studied earlier, but it was too late.

D'Antoni also has this kind of thinking, but even if he studies it earlier, it is useless.

No one in his coaching staff understands zone defense, and even if he does, he can only break some basic zone defenses that lack changes.

For the ever-changing top-level zone defense of the Mavericks, he watched a lot of game videos, but he didn't find a good solution.

We can only expect star players to play star balls!

On the field, the Mavericks turned to the first round of the quadruple, and the Knicks' offense failed.

The ball was in the hands of Anthony, who was double-teamed by the zone defense in the 45-degree area.

After passing the ball to the bottom corner, the Mavericks' zone defense integrated quickly, and JR Smith had no chance.

Can only give the ball to Stoudemire, encountered the same problem!

In the end, Stoudemire chose to attack and failed to hit.

Bai Feng could see at a glance that the Mavericks had changed their zone defense. A four-pronged zone defense formation was the most basic zone defense.

This zone defense system is very strong for the offensive team's ability to limit the mid-range and low post!

And these areas happen to be the most active areas of the Knicks' two offensive cores, Anthony and Stoudemire. Once they get the ball in these areas, the overall linkage defense system is very strong, and no matter how they pass, they will Let the attacker be threatened by at least two defenders.

The Mavericks attacked, maybe it was the winning defense that led the offense. Marion found his touch on the offensive end, and even hit a corner three-pointer with a very weird posture.

The Knicks continued to attack, and Bai Feng knew very well that the best and easiest way to break the one-man quadruple was to make a fuss from beyond the three-point line.

However, it is a pity that Stoudemire made a three-pointer shot after the pick-and-roll for him, but he failed to hit!

That's right, although the Mavericks stared at one of the quadruplets, Kidd was staring at Bai Feng.

When Stoudemire came out of the pick-and-roll, the Mavericks would not follow Stoudemire to prevent the formation in order to ensure that the zone defense remained unchanged.

Then, after Kidd is blocked by Stoudemire, Bai Feng, the ball carrier beyond the three-point line, will have the opportunity to make a three-point shot.

As long as the three-pointer can be thrown, then the Mavericks' zone defense will be helpless.

But the truth is, Bai Feng tonight

The feel is no longer as hot as the 44 points in the previous game.

If this three-pointer is not made, it will strengthen the Mavericks' determination to continue zone defense.

The offense seems to have encountered resistance, but at this time, the Mavericks' offense has also started!

Nowitzki took the ball and singled, and after attracting the Knicks' defensive double-team, he passed it to Stevenson, who was emptied from beyond the three-point line, and the latter made a three-pointer!

In just two rounds, the Mavericks caught up with 6 points in an instant, and the difference from 15 points to single digits all at once!

This is the case with the NBA. Once the team finds the right offensive and defensive rhythm, chasing points will become very fast!

Sometimes, even at halftime, or even leading by 20 points in three quarters, it's not stable. That's the truth.

The Knicks attacked, this time looking for Stoudemire.

But in the face of the Mavericks' very solid zone defense formation, Stoudemire also played very awkwardly.

It didn't work again!

The Knicks' offense seems to be in trouble. Fans who don't know much about tactics can only see that the offense, which was smooth sailing before, suddenly came to a standstill.

What happened, I was puzzled for a while.

". "What happened to the Knicks? Why did the offense suddenly fail? It was fine just now.

"Yeah, after just a pause, the offensive end suddenly can't pass, and can't score, why is it so strange?"

"Gan, the score difference has been forced to close, the Knicks need to be tight, don't play like this!"

With only 7 points left, D'Antoni had to call a timeout.

There is a very simple logic to breaking the zone defense, that is, throw the ball from beyond the arc!

Obviously, the Knicks team, to do this, can only rely on Bai Feng and JR Smith.

But the key is that the three-pointer is not something you can make if you want to. It is extremely dependent on the touch.

Bai Feng had already tried it before, and his hand feeling is not good today, at least in the current view, it is not good.

Then, we can only pin our hopes on R Smith (for the money).

The timeout ended, the game returned, and the Knicks attacked, creating an open 3-pointer for JR Smith in the first round.

However, today's JR failed to invite "God" to the upper body at this time, and his three-point shot also hit an iron.

After that, the Knicks have been working to open the situation beyond the arc.

Obviously, this is the easiest and most efficient way to break the zone defense, but it is also more difficult to handle, but the Knicks players' perimeter feel is not very good at this time.

JR tried it, Bai Feng also tried it, and in the end, Anthony also came to vote for two, and they all hit the iron.

The Mavericks seized the opportunity during this period of time and played continuously on the offensive end.

Soon, they tied the score and even overtook it!

The Knicks had a lot of trouble on the court, but at the last minute of the first half, Bai Feng finally made a buzzer-beating three-pointer.

In this way, at the end of halftime, the Knicks, who were playing at home, fell into a scoring drought for a time with a huge advantage of 15 points.

Finally ended the first half with a score of 47:51.

4 points behind at halftime, not much.

But the Knicks had a 39:24 lead.

In the second half of the second quarter, they were hit by the Mavericks 27:8 scoring climax.

This kind of performance is unacceptable to the home fans.

So far, some fans can no longer remain optimistic, and have begun to complain.

"What are the Knicks doing, with such a big lead? It's too fake.

"The Heat didn't pull over like this, why did the power cut suddenly?"

"There is no problem with the players. It must be the coach's fault. After the Mavericks called a timeout, the situation was not right."

"Heh, you probably don't quite understand, the situation is that the Mavericks changed the zone defense, and the Knicks couldn't break the zone defense, so it became like this, the situation is indeed a bit bad, if

If the Knicks still can't break the zone defense in the second half, then this game is estimated to be explained!".
