Chapter 166 Mutual Aiming at Defense Weak Points

The timeout ends and the game continues.

The Mavericks made substitution adjustments, replacing Stevens and Marion and replacing them with Terry and Caron Butler to enhance their offensive capabilities.

The Warriors took out Randolph and replaced him with Biedrins.

After returning from the timeout, the Mavericks attacked.

Kidd dribbled to the outside of the three-point line and directed his teammates to move.

Under Kidd's command, Haywood stepped forward and provided Terry with an off-ball screen.

Terry bypassed the screen, got rid of Ellis' pursuit, ran to the free throw line, received a prejudgmental pass from Kidd, and hit a jump shot.

Biedrins retreated to the basket, picked up the basketball on the floor, quickly exited the baseline, and sent the ball out.

Curry received the pass and quickly dribbled forward. Sun Yi, Ellis and others were already on the fast break.

The experienced Kidd quickly stepped forward to stick to Curry, delaying the Warriors' fast break.

Curry did not increase his speed after being stuck by Kidd and immediately passed the ball out.

After Ellis received the ball, he came outside the three-point line. Seeing the Mavericks players retreating into the penalty area, he jumped up and shot.

A swish sound!

Hollow into the net!

The Warriors went ahead by 1 point!

On the Mavericks bench, head coach Carlisle saw what happened on the court and was very angry. He came to the sidelines and yelled loudly towards the court.

"Please be serious, why should I teach you how to defend?!"

On the court, the Mavericks players nodded after hearing this, expressing their understanding.

Kidd dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, directed his teammates to move, and prepared to deal the cards.

The Warriors defended very well in this round and did not give the Mavericks an open shot.

Kibu saw this situation and passed the ball to Nowitzki.

If the tactics can't be used, handing the ball to the team boss is the right thing to do.

In the low post area on the right, Nowitzki received the pass with Sun Yi behind him, quickly turned around, and thought of facing Sun Yi in singles.

Snap!

When Sun Yi cut the ball, he hit Nowitzki hard on the arm.

"Beep! The Warriors' No. 9 hitter fouled."

The referee blew the whistle and made a penalty gesture towards the technical table.

Regarding this foul, Sun Yi raised his hand generously to indicate that he had indeed committed a foul.

"The timing of cutting the ball is wrong, I need to practice more."

Sun Yi shook his head slightly, muttered something in a low voice, and reflected on himself.

Since the number of fouls has not yet been reached, the conditions for a free throw are not met.

The game continues and the Mavericks serve a sideline ball.

Kidd came out to receive the pass and reorganized the offense.

Nowitzki came to the mid-range area on the left, attracting the Warriors' defense.

Butler, who was wandering in the high post area on the right, suddenly started to accelerate and cut into the penalty area.

Kidd, who was controlling the ball at the top of the arc, quickly passed the ball with quick eyes and hands.

After receiving the pass, Butler quickly rushed to the basket and flew for a layup, but was interfered by Biedrins who came back and failed to score.

Under the basket, Sun Yi rushed back to grab the defensive rebound. After landing, he turned around and advanced toward the frontcourt.

After being yelled at by head coach Carlisle, the Mavericks players retreated very quickly.

Falling into a positional battle, Sun Yi dribbled the ball to the top of the key, observed the position of his teammates, and prepared to deal the cards.

Curry and Ellis quickly moved without the ball according to the tactics, and could not get rid of the defensive players with the help of teammates' screens.

Seeing this situation, Sun Yi could only end the attack by himself.

He took a step back, quickly made a change of direction in front of his body and broke through to the right. When he saw Nowitzki moving to the right, he immediately used his explosive power to pull the ball back, and then forced a change of direction to break into the three-point line from the left.

With the badge [Steel and Iron Bone] there, Sun Yi was not worried about any problems with his ankle.

But Nowitzki didn't know that Sun Yi had plug-in assistance, and was very shocked by the scene that just happened.

"This guy changed his direction so violently that he lost his ankle?!"

Nowitzki failed to figure it out and even forgot about pursuit.

On the other side, Sun Yi rushed into the penalty area and made a layup before Haywood came back.

"Good shot! Sun Yi's breakthrough skills this time are not inferior to any point guard." Barkley praised.

On the court, Kidd dribbled to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Nowitzki.

Only when Nowitzki is open can Kibu attack use his organizational skills to connect the team's offense.

In the low post area on the right, Nowitzki received the pass, quickly turned around, and faced Sun Yi in singles.

He made a three-threat action and took a tentative step. After a few tentative attempts, he saw that Sun Yi was indifferent, so he immediately retracted his tentative foot and raised his hand to prepare for a shot.

At this moment, Sun Yi suddenly moved, extending his arm to cut the basketball in Nowitzki's hand like lightning.

Snap!

With the bonus effect of the badge [Cut Ball Expert], Sun Yi accurately cut the ball, and then quickly started to grab the basketball.

These all happened in a flash, so that other players didn't know what was happening.

"Run! Quick attack!"

Sun Yi shouted, then dribbled towards the frontcourt.

Curry and others heard Sun Yi's roar and immediately rushed towards the frontcourt.

At the same time, the Mavericks players also reacted and turned around to quickly pursue the defense.

Sun Yi did not give the Mavericks a chance to defend. When he saw his teammates running out of opportunities, with the bonus effect of the badge [Arc Top Deal], he passed the ball to his teammates accurately and quickly.

Ellis, who was sprinting with all his strength, received the pass, rushed to the basket first, and scored the ball with a civilian layup.

Looking back, Terry held the ball and beat Ellis in a single, changed direction in front of his body, and then stepped back and shot a jumper.

The young man defended very well and did not lose his position, which seriously interfered with this jump shot.

Under the basket, Biedlin caught Haywood and created an offensive rebound for his teammates.

Sun Yi quickly rushed back to collect the defensive rebound, turned around and advanced towards the frontcourt.

During the transition period between offense and defense, Curry received a pass from Sun Yi and missed a three-pointer.

Sun Yi, who rushed into the penalty area, jumped up and grabbed the offensive rebound. Seeing that the Mavericks players did not come around, he scored in the second attack.

Seeing that the score was stretched, Novis, as the main force of the team, basically stood up and acted as a scoring point.

In this round, Nowitzki learned a lesson and hit Sun Yi directly with his back, not giving Sun Yi a chance to cut the ball.

The effect was really good and no mistakes were made.

Nowitzki lowered his shoulders and lowered his center of gravity and pushed his back a few times. Seeing that he could not push Sun Yi forward, he immediately turned around and turned around to shoot a fadeaway jumper.

Sun Yi was already prepared and immediately rushed to interfere.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball hits the net hollowly and hits the target steadily!

The audience burst into thunderous applause, and cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena.

The fans' frustrations were finally able to be vented.

On the court, Curry dribbled the ball across half court and handed the ball to Ellis.

Xiao Gongju received the pass and immediately released the ball. He broke out as quickly as possible and passed Terry in one step.

Although Terry defended as hard as Curry, it was of no use.

On the other side, Haywood felt helpless after seeing Terry being easily passed by, so he could only go back to defense to wipe his teammates' butts.

Nowitzki couldn't rush back, and he didn't dare to let Sun Yi shoot a three-pointer.

Ellis rushed into the penalty area, jumped into the air, and after a physical confrontation with Haywood, he scored the ball forcefully.

On the Mavericks bench, Carlisle couldn't sit still. He knew that the Warriors were beginning to target the Mavericks' weaknesses.

"Since you can't defend yourself, let's fight."

After making up his mind, Carlisle came to the sidelines and shouted towards the court.

"Change to offensive strategy No. 2!"

After hearing this, Kidd, who was dribbling the ball forward on the court, nodded to show his understanding.

Other Mavericks players ran to designated positions according to tactical requirements.

When Ji Buhan dribbled the ball to the three-point line, Nowitzki immediately stepped forward to set up a pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll tactic was successful, Kidd immediately passed the ball to Nowitzki, allowing him to single out the Warriors' weakest defensive player.

When Curry saw this scene, he naturally knew what the Mavericks wanted to do.

"Damn it! Bullying a rookie like me is nothing!" the primary school student complained in his heart.

In order to win, Nowitzki did not show mercy and simply ignored Curry's defense and hit a mid-range jumper.

When Sun Yi saw the primary school students being bullied so badly, he immediately ran forward to make suggestions.

"Stephen, try to prevent Dirk from catching the ball or go around the screen in advance."

Curry nodded after hearing this and adopted Sun Yi's suggestion.

Immediately, he quickly ran to the baseline to catch the ball and advance.

The Warriors' attack this time still targeted the opponent's defensive weakness.

This time, Sun Yi played Terry in a mismatched position, which was considered a courtesy.

Sun Yi received the pass, directly pulled up, ignored Terry's interference, and hit a mid-range jumper, which indirectly caused a bad temper for the primary school student.

Looking back, the Mavericks continued to play pick-and-roll.

Curry followed Sun Yi's suggestion and went around the screen in advance, giving Kidd enough space to shoot.

Jibu Gong knew that his three-point shooting ability was unreliable, so he passed the ball without trying.

Butler received the pass, started quickly, broke through to the mid-range area on the right, and hit a pull-up jumper, showing his value.

Immediately afterwards, Ellis broke through and entered the inside with the ball, but Haywood interfered with the layup and failed to score.

The Mavericks protected the backcourt rebounds and launched a defensive counterattack.

Kidd made a long pass to find Terry on the fast break.

After Terry caught the ball, he quickly came to the three-point line and directly chased for a three-pointer.

At this moment, Sun Yi suddenly rushed out from Terry's side and waved his arm to hit the basketball that had just been shot.

Snap!

The rising basketball was shot out of the sideline by Sun Yi.

"Beautiful! Sun Yi arrived very timely and stopped the Mavericks' offense," Barkley explained.

On the court, the Mavericks sent a sideline ball, and Kidd received the ball and went outside the three-point line to reorganize the offense.

Other Mavericks players quickly set up off-ball screens to create mismatches.

The Warriors have two defensive weaknesses on the outside, making it very easy to cause mismatches.

In this round, Nowitzki faced Ellis out of position, and after receiving the ball, he jumped up and shot.

Ellis rushed to interfere, but to no avail.

A swish sound!

Hollow into the net!

On the Warriors bench, Nelson saw what was happening on the court and immediately replaced Laga Bell to improve the defense.

After the substitution adjustments, the effect was good, preventing the Mavericks from scoring easily.

Mavericks head coach Carlisle saw this situation and immediately made substitution adjustments.

He knows how to take date pills against the Warriors.

In the subsequent games, both sides increased their defensive intensity, making the game either a blacksmith or a blacksmith, making the fans drowsy.

At the end of the first quarter, the score on the big screen was 25-20, with the Warriors leading by 5 points.

The inter-section break is over and the second quarter begins.

The lineup sent by the Warriors is: Ellis, Morrow, Maggette, Sun Yi, Tolliver.

The lineup sent by the Mavericks is: Barea, Stevenson, Marion, Nowitzki, Dampier.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Mavericks took the lead.

Barea dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Seeing Dampier actively blocking the ball inside, he hesitated and passed the ball.

After catching the ball, Dampier stuck his butt back and hit Tolliver with his back.

But after pushing for a few times, he found that Tolliver's lower body was too stable and could not be pushed at all, so he could only turn around and use his height advantage to throw.

Bang!

The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!

Under the basket, Sun Yi easily grabbed the rebound, quickly dribbled toward the frontcourt, and launched a defensive counterattack.

In the transition period between offense and defense, Ellis received a pass from Sun Yi and hit a jumper against Barea's defense.

The Mavericks quickly sent a baseline pass. Barea dribbled to the outside of the three-point line and passed the ball to Nowitzki near the free throw line.

After receiving the ball, the German tank immediately raised the basketball high, fearing that Sun Yi would cut the ball.

On the other side, Dampier ran forward to provide an off-ball screen for Stevenson, feinting to attract the defense.

Marion understood this and suddenly broke away from Maggette's defense, quickly cut to the basket, received Nowitzki's pass, and flew for a layup.

Maggette was a little annoyed. He raised his hand to indicate that it was his fault, then picked up the basketball on the ground, quickly exited the baseline, and served the ball.

After receiving the ball, Sun Yi quickly sprinted forward.

The Mavericks were well prepared and retreated very quickly, preventing the Warriors from setting up a fast break.

Falling into a positional battle, Sun Yi came to the top of the arc and directed his teammates to move.

Under the command of Sun Yi, the Warriors adopted the "elevator door" tactic.

Morrow ran to the right side of the three-point line, received a pass from Sun Yi, and hit a three-pointer.

It was the Mavericks' turn to attack. With the help of Dampier's screen, Barea quickly rushed into the penalty area and scored a flying layup, recovering 2 points.

Looking back, the Warriors once again used the "elevator door" tactic.

This time Morrow missed a three-point shot and failed to continue his offensive firepower.

The Mavericks protected the rebound and launched a defensive counterattack.

Barea quickly dribbled forward, came outside the three-point line, made a forward change, shook Ellis away and rushed straight towards the basket.

Seeing this, Sun Yi let go of his defender and immediately rushed back to the basket to defend.

Barea came to the basket and saw no one guarding him, so he flew for a layup.

At the same time, Sun Yi jumped up and stretched out his arms to hit the rising basketball.

Snap!

Pinboard hat!

The rebounding basketball was snatched by Maggette who followed up. He immediately found Ellis and passed the ball over.

Ellis received the pass and started dribbling as fast as possible. After running across the half court, he saw an opportunity presented to his teammates and immediately passed the ball.

Morrow, who was on a fast break, received the pass. Seeing no one in front of him, he chased and shot a three-pointer without hesitation.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!

On the Mavericks bench, head coach Carlisle had a headache when he saw the situation on the court.

Neither the starting lineup nor the rotation can beat the Warriors, so why should they win?!
