"Maybe some friends don't know much about the current Mavericks. It just so happens that the starting lineups of both sides have just been released. Let me introduce them to you."
With that said, Yang Yi picked up the prepared materials and began to say:
"Let's talk about the backcourt first. The Mavericks have two Jasons partnering in the backcourt. One is a veteran guard - Jason Kidd is getting better and better as he gets older. In addition to still being strong in organization and defense, his three-point shooting percentage has also reached a career high.
A new high of 42.5%. Of course, he basically only shot open three-pointers."
"The other is the 'Jet' - Jason Terry. He is a very good shooter. Whether it is fixed-point shooting or long-lasting pull-up jumpers, Terry can guarantee a good hit rate!"
"The small forward is Caron Butler, one of the former Wizards' 'Three Musketeers'. He has comprehensive skills and can provide firepower when the team needs it. He is an underrated wing player."
"The power forward is the German tank that we are very familiar with - Dirk Nowitzki. This year his skills are on the rise and he is currently the player with the highest fourth quarter scoring and shooting percentage in the league!"
"Finally, the one who guards the penalty area for the Mavericks is Tyson Chandler, who is nicknamed the 'Boxing Champion' by Chinese fans. I think he is one of the best defensive insiders now, with a large coverage area and strong frame protection ability.
, and the movement of my feet is not slow.”
"This starting lineup is both offensive and defensive. The five positions are very balanced and have distinctive characteristics. They must not be underestimated!"
Yang Yi introduced seriously, while Yu Jia listened and nodded.
"There is another person on the Mavericks bench that cannot be ignored, and that is Shawn Marion! He is actually the best wing defender on the Mavericks. He will definitely have a lot of scenes in today's game."
Yang Yi added.
“Thank you, Director Yang, for sharing!”
"The Rockets' starting lineup is no different from before. It's still Lowry, McGrady, George, Griffin and Yao Ming."
"Okay, now the game is about to start, let's hand the camera to the front!"
After saying that, Yu Jia waved his hand and the screen turned to the Toyota Center Arena.
............
In the box, Shen Fei was sitting upright, waiting for the game to start.
He is looking forward to this game very much.
After all, in the original time and space, the Mavericks were this year's championship team.
A group of old boys, led by King Nuo, realized their championship dream this year, which is a good story.
Shen Fei clearly remembers that after this season, both the United States and China's evaluation of Nowitzki has undergone subversive changes.
In the past, when fans mentioned Nowitzki, the first thing they thought of was "soft", then they thought of "being hacked", and finally they thought of him as an MVP.
But after being crowned a god, those infamy seemed to disappear overnight.
Nowitzki has suddenly become a discussion topic for the best power forward in history, and "soft" has basically lost contact with him.
It's a pity... In this time and space, the Mavericks' dream season may no longer exist!
"Come on, let's see what's so special about this Mavericks that they can win the championship over the Big Three of the Heat."
Shen Fei smiled and murmured to himself.
At the same time, as the referee threw the ball high, the game officially began!
............
Yao Ming and Chandler took off at the same time, fighting for the ball.
Although Dayao has a height advantage, his bounce and bounce speed are not as good as those of the boxing champion, so he rarely fails in the jump ball.
The Mavericks attack first!
Kidd passed the half court with the ball and began to organize the offense.
I have to say that under the guidance of the famous coach Carlisle, the Mavericks have strict discipline and very high tactical execution!
Through a series of moves and off-ball screens, Butler successfully got rid of George's defense and reached outside the three-point line to catch the ball.
Fortunately, the Rockets' defensive strategy is to switch defenses infinitely, and power forward Griffin can make up the defense immediately.
As soon as Butler saw an opportunity to play small and big, he motioned to his teammates to pull away.
In the NBA, 95% of tactics point to one goal - to create mismatched offensive opportunities.
The Rockets' unlimited defensive changes often give opponents the illusion of why they create mismatches so easily.
Butler is very confident in his singles ability.
Facing Griffin, who was lowering his center of gravity and concentrating, he immediately decided to use his speed to directly break through.
As a result, Butler stepped out with his right foot and shifted his center of gravity to the right, as if he was about to drop the ball and speed up the breakthrough.
But the next moment, he made a cross step, changed direction, and launched an attack from the left.
"Bang~"
The muscles collided and made a muffled sound.
Butler actually hit Griffin firmly in the chest.
"???"
Butler was a little confused. How could the opponent's power forward move faster than him?!
An attempt failed, but Butler didn't give up. After dribbling back from his hip, he connected with a crossover...
"Bang~"
The muffled sound of muscle collision sounded again, and his second attack was still blocked by Griffin.
This immediately put Butler out of business.
Good guy, you are a power forward, so good at perimeter defense?
Opposite him, Griffin was also very excited after consecutive defensive successes.
Seeing that Butler was a little dazed, he stepped forward and started to defend with pressure.
Butler had no choice but to pass the ball.
And the object of his pass was none other than the German tank—Nowitzki!
When King Nuo received the ball in the low post, there were only two seconds left in the attack time.
In a hurry, he dribbled the ball with his left hand, then leaned back and raised his right knee.
George, who was changing defense, did not react for a moment and was blocked by the opponent's right foot, unable to step forward to interfere.
Nowitzki relaxed his arms and leaned back to shoot...
"Shua~"
The basketball hits the net!
2:0, the Mavericks took the lead!
Seeing this scene, CCTV commentator Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, the Rockets defended very well this round, especially Griffin, who completely restricted Butler's offense."
Yu Jia very much agreed with his partner's idea and added: "I can only say that this is Nowitzki's personal ability. This kind of superstar ball is difficult to defend. George is still too green!"
The game continues.
In transition between offense and defense, Lowry dribbled the ball to the top of the key.
At this time, Yao Ming was already in the low post trying to get into position.
Although he has lost a lot of weight, his thighs are still as thick as tree roots.
In comparison, Chandler, who was born with thin legs, looked like a bamboo pole.
Lowry made a lob and passed the ball.
Yao Ming successfully got the ball and started to play with his back.
After a few pushes, he successfully crushed Chandler into the three-second zone.
"bang!"
Yao Ming was rarely violent for a moment, then turned around and hit a dunk.
"tomato!"
Dayao roared angrily.
Toyota Center also became excited instantly.
Chandler is the Optimus Prime of the Mavericks inside and is also a regular on the best defensive team.
How can one not be excited to be able to dunk such a defender so brutally!
Yao Ming clenched his fists and started to fight back excitedly.
On the way, Lowry ran to Yao and asked curiously: "Yao, why did you shout 'tomato' after dunking?"
Yao Ming was stunned when he heard this.
What kind of dialect did he speak? It was a classic Chinese curse - t.m.d.
"It's a sentence from my hometown that inspires me. I feel very happy after saying it."
