Chapter 347: The first time you take action, you will be bloody, you are not just trying to be a softie!
It’s the Dallas Morning News: On the evening of October 31st, Nowitzki teamed up with new aid Su Bei and scored 58 points together, defeating Anthony who had no intention of playing, and won 3 consecutive victories at the beginning of the new season! (Note: Dirk 40, Su Bei 18 points
.The reason why they both attacked together was because Su Beikan guarded Anthony.)
Sports Illustrated: It was another narrow victory. The Dallas Mavericks beat everyone 50-50, but they were able to take risks and win, which vividly demonstrated the winning talent of the regular season champions!
USA Today: The old boy Dallas set sail, everything started well, and they won three consecutive victories!
ESPN reported: Winning streak is not enough, Dallas has entered the winter of November schedule and is about to face a devilish schedule.
…
November 3, Staples Center Arena.
The Mavericks defeated the Clippers by 21 points with a score of 109-88 on the road, extending their winning streak to 4 games.
Griffin, the No. 1 pick in 2009, made 7 of 13 shots, 3 of 7 free throws, and scored 17 points and 9 rebounds. Although the Clippers lost, Griffin's passionate and explosive basketball style is very attractive.
It's just a pity that Griffin doesn't have enough possession of the ball. Yuanlianden and Kaman are clearly suppressing him without any pressure, occupying the team's first and second shot rights. If nothing else, the two plus
Bearded Davis will be put on the market to teach them... Griffin is very angry, and the consequences will be serious!
This is a shabby team with little strength and a lot of broken things. Who cares about playing the game? The Clippers are now losing 3 games in a row at the beginning. With such internal friction, for the Mavericks, it is a dessert in the devil's schedule, which heralds the future.
Sweet but bitter after all!
November 6, American Airlines Center.
The Mavericks' four-game winning streak was terminated, and they were defeated by the Nuggets in the second game with a score of 108-97.
Anthony's performance was mediocre, making 9 of 17 shots, 4 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 27 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 4 steals.
With Anthony's three-pointer, Subei's defense is completely inadequate. He can use Kaleidoscope's offense to its full potential. Everyone has a day of eating dumplings, so what else can you do?
Miraculously, Billups' three-pointers were also very accurate. He made 3 of 4 shots and scored 18 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds.
The Mavericks' zone defense tactics were broken and they held two points, but their three-point defense was blown away. The Nuggets made 13 of 21 three-pointers, which was better than the 50-50 ratio. The Mavericks only made 6 of 18 three-pointers.
Among them, Northern Jiangsu accounts for 3.
Not to mention the three-pointers, Butler made 5 of 17 shots and Barea made 1 of 6 shots.
Although Su Bei and Nowitzki scored 47 points together, Su Bei had 20 points and Nowitzki had 27 points, they still fell behind in terms of offensive firepower.
After all, the Nuggets are a team that can win more than 50 games, and their shooting is accurate, and the Mavericks have a better lineup. I am at home, and I have the advantage, but I still can't defeat my opponent.
"The November schedule is a devilish schedule for the Mavericks, and it didn't come for nothing.
Except for the easy first game against the Clippers.
The second game is against the Nuggets, the third game is against the Celtics, and then the second game against the Grizzlies, the 76ers, the Bobcats led by Paul, the Magic, the Eagles, the Pistons...
The remaining four teams are even better, Thunder, Spurs, Heat, Rockets..."
The ones that are easy to chew are the Clippers, 76ers, Pistons and Rockets.
November 8, American Airlines Center.
Night falls.
At this time, the home court of the Mavericks was about to host a regular game against the Celtics. The lights were bright and there was a sea of people.
During the warm-up, Nowitzki and Pierce, who also debuted in 1998, chatted about how much money they had made.
Later, there was a day when Garnett was given a few extra cents. Similarly, the top four players still had to give this little face.
Kidd had a few words with Ray Allen, and Marion had a few words with his former Heat teammate O'Neal.
Su Bei also said hello to Ron. After all, when he was with the Lakers and in front of the Celtics, he won two championships, so he couldn't pretend not to know him.
Both teams are old boys' teams, and they have quite a few familiar faces.
At this time, the lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.
The Celtics' top five, O'Neal, Garnett, Pierce, Ray Allen, Rondo.
Five players from the Mavericks, Chandler, Nowitzki, Butler, Su Bei, Kidd.
This game will be broadcast live by TNT radio station, with Barkley and Kenny Smith providing commentary.
“Both teams are veteran teams that work together to compete for the championship. They have strong lineups and have performed well in the regular season.
The Mavericks are now 4 wins and 1 loss, having just lost their winning streak.
The Celtics team's morale is high. They have now won 5 consecutive games and are full of momentum.
If I had to pick a team in advance, I think the Mavericks would win the game.
Kenny, what do you think?"
"If I had to make a bet, I would definitely not want to bet on the Celtics to win.
Don't ask, the question is that although the Green Army won the game, it was very difficult.
The first three games, with the Bucks and Bulls, all went to overtime to determine the winner.
In addition, the last game was against a talented Thunder team, and they fought very hard.
Although the Celtics won the game, they consumed too much energy and had almost no rest time. The game against the Mavericks was back-to-back away games.
Let’s look at the ages of the five Green Army Tigers..."
Garnett was born in 1976 and is almost 35 years old.
Ray Allen gave birth to 75 years old and is almost 36 years old.
Pierce was born in 1977 and is almost 34 years old.
O'Neal Jr. was born in 1978 and is almost 33 years old.
That's it, O'Neal is still injured. If Shaq is not injured, he will take up the center position at almost 39 years old.
At this age, if you say the Green Army will be strong, I believe it, but do you think the Green Army can last?
I just want to ask: Sir, did you make a mistake?
"Indeed, compared with the Celtics, saying that the Mavericks are a group of old boys' team is not qualified.
The Mavericks are really old, with one and only Kidd, the others are all in their prime..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee threw the basketball high in the air. O'Neal, who had been seriously injured, was basically bleeding on the floor. Chandler easily jumped to win and scored the first offense for the Lakers.
Su Bei immediately rushed forward, taking advantage of their strength and wanting to take advantage of their physical strength and talent. Ray Allen quickly followed up.
On the other side, Butler also ran with Pierce.
"Rondo pressed and interrupted Kidd's fast break attempt to pass the ball.
The Mavericks wanted to take advantage of the Celtics' aging forward line, but they didn't know that Kidd, the oldest player on the court, was instead being targeted by the young Rondo.
The game dragged into a positional battle. Kidd dribbled the ball to the top arc and distributed the ball to Butler for a breakthrough..."
It's still the DDM tactic of dealing cards from the top arc, with the all-powerful Butler, breaking through Pierce, there's nothing wrong with this choice.
"The three-threat stepped forward, started to accelerate, changed direction in front of the body, and Butler passed Pierce.
Overwhelming athletic ability, getting into the paint, stopping for a two-point jump shot..."
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Butler accurately hit two points.
By the way, Butler's condition is very unstable, but his skills and body are close to being mature. If his condition is online, his impact will be unstoppable.
Pierce was blown away as he moved across the field.
From the moment the Green Army's Big Three were formed, Pierce's defense would be brought up for criticism when faced with strong teams.
No problem, now that I am older, it is not unusual for me to be unable to bear it.
Off the court, Rivers was very calm. The game had just started and he had not yet figured out the status of each opponent's players, so he had to rely on himself.
If you can't stand it, it's okay. Just collect information and wait for the next round to target it.
"Rondo also controlled the ball to the frontcourt, copied Kidd's work, and came to the top arc to deal the cards.
There is no suspense, Pierce, as the leading scorer in the Green Army, has been dealt a blow."
“Catching the ball, triple-threat probing, and copying again.
Pierce took a step and broke through. After being followed by Butler, he immediately turned around and gave Butler a butt. Kidd pounced on the defense before it was in place. Pierce slowly shook his shoulders, turned around, pulled the ball, and raised his hand.
A two-point fadeaway jumper..."
Kidd rushed over, just to prevent himself from being lonely.
Everything depends on Butler's personal defensive skills?
Not so!
Butler has a fierce look on his face, but his fierceness is of no use in interfering with defense or anything like that.
Swish——!
2 to 2!
Pierce dares to boast that he is the number one small forward in the league, and he is not just trying to put money on his face. He still has something to offer offensively.
Although he is almost 34 years old, he can still score 20 points and 5 rebounds this season.
Don't ask, the question is that Pierce's offense does not require the body, it is a technical job, so it is naturally very tough!
Off the court, Carlisle looked calm, but in his heart he was speechless about Butler's defense.
Positive is positive, fierce is fierce, but what is the most critical efficiency?
You should take it out!
"In the Mavericks' offensive round, Kidd continued to flip the ball and passed the ball to Nowitzki at the three-point line.
After catching the ball and lifting it up, Garnett hesitated and did not save it. Ray Allen chose to switch defense. Nowitzki did not take the shot, but passed it to Su Bei in the right corner..."
The Celtics still rely on chain defense to win. They are really not good at restricting three-pointers. They switch defenses on the outside and take care of Nowitzki. The three-point vulnerability in the corner will be infinite.
"Without adjustment, Su Bei caught the ball, jumped up, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..."
Ray Allen did not turn back, but shrank to the basket, preparing to collect the rebound. This was to bet that Su Bei's three-point pistol had no bullets.
Swish——!
guessed wrong.
There are no prizes.
Su Bei's three-pointer was bloody on the first shot, and he was not a weakling who was just hanging around!
2 to 5!
“The Celtics’ defense still focuses on protecting the two-point area and the basket.
I don't pay attention to Su Bei's three points at all.
Three-pointers cannot kill the game. This is the belief of the Celtics' chain defense.
As long as the Green Army doesn't care, Su Bei's three-pointer will not cause any harm."
"Next, see how the Celtics respond offensively?
Rondo continues to flip the Pierce card, and if he scores in the last round, he can renew the cup.
After catching the ball, the three-threat stepped forward, accelerated to break through to the inside, turned around, but it was a stagger, half-turned, swayed out of the space, and immediately shot a two-point fadeaway jumper..."
Butler's defense couldn't keep up.
Bang-dang——!
"Pierce hit a two-pointer and the basketball bounced out of the rim.
Luck was on Pierce's side, and the basketball bounced back. Pierce, who was facing the basket, rushed in, caught the basketball, lifted the ball, flicked it, turned around and picked it up..."
Bang-dang——!
The shot still missed, and Pierce's second attack also missed.
"The rebound was from the Celtics, and Garnett grabbed the frontcourt basket.
After being closely followed by Nowitzki, he did not hit the ball himself, but distributed the ball to Pierce who ran outside the three-point line to shoot..."
There is no shot that cannot be scored. If not, then the second time, the third time...
Bang-dang——!
The basket didn't like Pierce.
Continuous shots still missed.
"If you don't get the chance, Pierce is still too greedy.
He wanted to respond to Su Bei's three-point shot, but he still couldn't understand his two-point shot.
The rebound was finally, finally obtained by Chandler.
Rondo pounced to steal Kidd's ball, slowing down the pace of the game again.
Dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, Kidd scored the ball from the top of the arc for Butler to break through.
Huh?
Butler did not follow the offensive line of 'I fight, I fight, I hide...'. After the three threats took a step, he stood up from the ball, raised his hand and attempted a three-point pull-up jumper..."
Bang-dang——!
Despite catching Pierce off guard, Butler died after trying.
"The basket, the rebound flew out, and Garnett steadily picked up the basket.
If Nowitzki doesn't get into the paint and only has Chandler, it will be really difficult for the Mavericks to grab rebounds."
"The Celtics' offense is still grinding away at the position.
Huh?
Rondo did not deal the cards, but relied on his own speed and chose to suddenly start accelerating. Kidd fought and retreated. Before Su Bei and Chandler could help defend, he jumped up to the ball and raised his hand to make an emergency stop for two points.
Jump shot..."
Kidd has no idea how to play at this speed.
However, he is not afraid. Rondo's shooting is unreliable. This is a flaw that is recognized by the league.
"There are no bullets in your pistol!"
Swish——!
Rondo shook his fist excitedly.
He is a monster with long arms. Shooting is really a challenge for him. Fortunately, it is his own ability to kill a bird with random shots and get fooled!
4 to 5!
"In transition between offense and defense, Kidd dribbled the ball to the top arc and did not turn over Butler's card again.
Nowitzki dodged Garnett's defense, moved 50 degrees to the right, received Kidd's pass, and dribbled up. O'Neal's body dropped a lot, and he could not stop Nowitzki's post-up singles.
.
Ray Allen was afraid of Su Bei's three-pointer and followed the defense closely instead of rushing to help defend. Seeing that O'Neal's defense was about to lose, Garnett swept over, but Nowitzki passed behind Garnett..."
Bang-dang——!
Chandler dunked under the left basket, his whole body hanging on the basket.
4 to 7!
Although Su Bei has been aggressive on offense, his legend is spreading on the court.
The three-pointer hanging above the head opened a big hole in the Celtics' chain defense.
The Celtics could only cool down Su Bei's three-pointer first and let the bullets fly for a while.
"The Celtics attacked and Rondo didn't make any more waves.
Top Arc continued to deal the cards and turned over Garnett's card.
Being defended by Nowitzki, he broke through to the bottom line with his back, and then used his own iron-blooded mid-range shot..."
Facing Garnett's specialty, Nowitzki could only make his defensive moves to the extreme and still listen to the gunshot.
Bang-dang——!
Fortunately, the gun didn't go off and the basket rang.
Garnett, who is almost 35 years old, is averaging only 15 points and 9 rebounds per game this season. It is not surprising that he has a difficult schedule and is in unstable form.
