This decision came a bit suddenly.

Generally speaking, if Old Nelson wants to adjust the lineup, he will train in a targeted manner during training.

In this way, the players have a similar idea. It will be easier to accept it after he finishes training.

Moreover, the adjustment Johnson continued to say was even more unexpected.

The starting lineup he wants to replace is Danpier, and he is replaced by Finley!

Lower center! Upper front guard!

In other words, he is trying to let Nowitzki play center!

"Everyone, don't grab the frontcourt rebounds after the offense is failed, and retreat to the half as soon as possible."

After Johnson said the adjustment, he didn't explain, but emphasized one point.

When Johnson left, Nowitzki pulled Sun Hao and complained.

"What does Avery want to do?"

Nowitzki didn't understand much.

After more than half a season of running-in, the Mavericks' starting lineup has balanced offense and defense, which is perfect enough.

It may not be a good thing to suddenly adjust the lineup at this time.

"It should be a defensive response."

Sun Hao didn't understand at first, but he understood a little when Johnson said what he had said before.

Nowitzki's play center has not been done by the Mavericks.

When he was playing in the Western Conference semi-finals with the Spurs, Old Nelson tried to speed up and fight against the Spurs.

However, in the beginning, it was for a better offense, Johnson seemed to consider it more from a defensive level.

Because he emphasized not to grab the frontcourt rebounds, because once the rebound failed, it is easy to retreat.

Since you don’t have frontcourt rebounds, a center like Danpier with poor maneuverability has limited role on the court.

He simply asked Nowitzki to play the fifth position and retreat faster.

However, Johnson didn't seem to be trying to bombard. If this happens, the defense of positional warfare will be a hidden danger.

Of course, different coaches have different perspectives on how to consider the problem.

What is the specific effect? ​​Maybe you will only know until the game.

"That guy Eric is not that easy to talk to, I think he will have an objection."

Nowitzki nodded after hearing this, but he didn't forget to say.

Nowitzki is still very keen. Danpier's words are the ones who can say "I am the second center in the West" in history.

Johnson threw him on the bench for no reason, and even if his relationship was good, he would not be effective.

"It should be just this one."

Sun Hao replied, no matter how you look at this adjustment, it is only for the Nets' defensive counterattack.

That night, the game between the Mavericks and Nets opened at the National Route Center Arena.

On the Nets, Kidd, Corey Kiddles, Jefferson, Martin, Mutombo.

Just looking at this starting lineup, the Nets' talent this season is actually not bad.

Otherwise, they would not be able to play 2-4 with the Spurs in the finals this year in history.

The adjustments made by the Mavericks still surprised the fans on the scene.

Nowitzki and Mutombo are in the inside, which doesn't seem reliable.

In the opening round of the jump ball, Nowitzki was pushed back by Mutombo on his head.

Nowitzki: Avery, I think you are making things difficult for me...

The Nets' head coach is the "" member Byron Scott, who was mentioned earlier.

Scott has a set of defense, but his offense has not been very good.

Fans who have seen him coaching with the Lakers in the future should have a deep understanding.

But the Nets are lucky to have Kidd as the engine.

After seeing the Mavericks play 2-3 in the opening game, he reached out to signal the pick-and-roll without the ball on both wings.

After a cross-run, when he broke through the basket, he accurately divided the ball into Kiddles's hand at the forty-five-degree angle on the right.

Kiddles, the No. 8 show of the 96 Golden Generation.

Compared to Iverson, Kobe and others, his career has been relatively mediocre.

However, he has always been a NBA starting player and has a very good three-pointer.

The 45-degree angle of the two wings is another weak defense in 2-3, so the chance of this ball is very good.

Kiddles made a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

"Swish!"

Basketball came into the net, and the Nets took the lead.

The Mavericks advanced to the frontcourt, Nowitzki received the ball from the inside and played behind the back, and the Golden Rooster made an independent jump shot.

You really don't know that after Nowitzki trained this Golden Rooster independently in advance, his deterrence in the inside was not weak.

This is the biggest difference between the Mavericks and the Spurs two years ago when they played in the playoffs. At that time, Nowitzki could only stand at the top of the arc to pull space on the offensive end.

Kidd in the frontcourt has another wave of organization, but unfortunately Jefferson, who received the ball this time, failed to shoot the ball from the outside.

This is the offensive talent of this Nets now, with a very low lower limit.

but!

Looking back, they also defended the Mavericks' offense!

Their defense is phenomenal this season and is better than the Spurs.

Mutombo protected the defensive rebound, and he gave the ball to Kidd, and did not follow the fast break. The Nets' four turned around and rushed forward.

This is where defensive counterattacks are different from gunfire.

The bombardment is all the players rushing forward, but if they counterattack the defensively, the center often sticks to their own half.

Then, Nets players soon discovered that the Mavericks retreated quickly!

Johnson's strategy was exactly the same as Sun Hao thought. He didn't care about offensive rebounds at all and retreated immediately.

I have to say that this targeting is very good.

Kidd's second-hand pass was fast enough, but the Nets' defensive counterattack was prevented.

At this time, a camera was given to Johnson, the interim head coach who had just retired and was only 38 years old.

The Mavericks are not only full of talent this season, but also many handsome talents!

Nowitzki used the power of the cow to jamm Mutombo, and Bodyloga protected the defensive rebound through accurate judgment.

The Mavericks fought back against the Nets.

Mutombo is still in the backcourt, but he just shrank under the basket.

But the Mavericks often do not forget to go to the basket when they counterattack.

Sun Hao received a long pass from Bodiloga and made a quick stop and three-pointer from outside the three-point line on the right.

"Swish!"

The knife fell with your hands!

The Nets still didn't have a wave of offense in the frontcourt.

Looking back, the Mavericks' team basketball began to mobilize the Nets' defense.

Bodyloga's second pass was to Nowitzki, and Nowitzki gave Sun Hao another run. Sun Hao cheated Kidd with a three-pointer and killed Navarro in the inside, and made a throwing shot while he was moving!

With the badge, this throw looks very smooth!

Moreover, this wave of Mavericks' mercury-drained attack made the fans on the scene wet.

The live footage was given to Johnson again.

In the hearts of many fans, Johnson's image is really like his nickname "Little General".

However, this time, Johnson was misunderstood.

Johnson in history has also coached the Mavericks. If it were Lao Niu Mi, he would probably be very familiar with him.

He is a head coach who is obviously defensive. When it comes to offense, fans jokingly call him five tactics at that time.

From Harris' singles to Nowitzki, Terry, Josh Howard, and Jerry Starkhouse on the bench, there are a total of five singles tactics.

In fact, the fundamental reason for this kind of offense on the Mavericks' field is that their offense has become successful after the season's running-in.
