Chapter 357: He is good at playing and loves to play, but he ruined his good hand!
"In the Magic's offensive round, Nelson dribbled the ball into the frontcourt.
Howard didn't stay in the low post waiting for the ball. He first ran to the high post and then dived into the penalty area.
After receiving a pass from Nelson Jr., he made a bold move towards the basket...
Peng——!
Chandler was almost knocked away, and at this time, the Mavericks' double attack arrived.
Howard just rushed and had a comfortable passing space. He passed the ball to Lewis in the left corner. When he saw Butler rushing to help defend, he immediately passed the ball to Carter who was 50 degrees to the left.
When he caught the ball, he didn’t rush towards the basket, but he rose up from the ball, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..."
I am almost 34 years old, and the constant flow of body fluids is no longer suitable because I cannot get hard. At this time, I can only survive longer if I have skills on my hands.
Although Carter's three-point shooting is not stable, he plays next to Howard.
No 3, it’s really unreasonable!
Swish——!
With the knife raised and lowered, Carter's three-pointer was not soft and he hit it accurately.
4 to 4!
"The key is Howard's inside impact. As long as the inside plays a containment role and the Mavericks' defense is exhausted, the defense will not be able to take into account both the inside and outside.
Of course, Lewis's organization passing and Carter's finishing ability are indispensable.
As long as they play the "one star, four shots" system, the Magic's offense will still have something!"
"When the Mavericks attacked, they still dealt cards from the top of the arc. This time, Kidd turned over Jiangsu Bei's card.
He catches the ball and poses as a triple threat. After taking a step, he closes his feet and lifts the ball. Richardson presses.
Peng——!
Su Bei stepped forward hard, stepped forward and fished out, accelerated and changed direction and pushed forward.
Richardson fought and retreated, then took advantage of Su Bei's right hand to change direction with his left hand. He stepped back and lifted the ball a little...
Huh?
The ball was passed to Kidd, but when he cut back and received Kidd's pass, Richardson's defense was lost..."
Swish——!
An emergency stop at close range, before Howard's help defense was in place, Su Bei had already called it a day and scored two points.
6 to 4!
"The Mavericks' main DDM tactics are very smooth. Although Kidd has no breakthrough ability, he has a good grasp of the rhythm. He keeps saying 'I hit, I hit, I hide, I hit again...'. One breakthrough won't work.
Just for the second time, accumulating advantages time and time again is really impressive..."
Off the court, Stan Van Gundy had a headache, and the problem was with the forwards and defenders.
Turkoglu, Bogans, JJ Redick, and now Carter and Richardson...
It seems that the Magic's forward and defensive line are becoming more and more famous, but their real strength has not improved much.
Richardson went from the Suns to play for the Knicks and was already useless.
Now you are 31 years old and approaching the age of retirement, what can you do to top it off?
Carter is also 34 years old, and he is also in the same state as Wang Xiaoer during the New Year.
In addition to Nelson Jr. who suffered a serious injury, Lewis, who is almost 32 years old...
A peak Warcraft may not be enough!
But there is no choice. After all, the Magic are not a big city, and it is not easy to have such a card.
"Offensively, it was Howard who did the trouble. He continued to move to the high post and did not dive. Instead, he played a pick-and-roll tactic with Nelson.
Then, Howard made a cut, received Nelson's pass, and rushed forward..."
Bang-dang——!
Beep——!
The referee's whistle sounded again, calling Chandler's thug a foul.
The power gap is too big. Even though Chandler has reached the ceiling of blue-collar workers, he is still only a blue-collar worker.
In front of a superstar, you will be beaten!
To use Yao Ming's saying of settling old scores, it was really easy for him to beat Chandler.
If Chandler hadn't come across the Heat's big three who had no insiders, Chandler would have given the impression that he was still the same young boy... second place on the list of parallel imports.
Bang-dang——!
Swish——!
Howard is still 1-for-2, his shooting is not good, and he will be targeted no matter how hard his body is.
Fouling if you can't beat him doesn't seem like a bad option.
6 to 5!
During the Mavericks' offensive round, Kidd called Nowitzki's card this time.
After weighing Lewis' strength and testing his own touch, Nowitzki played more calmly this time.
"Beyond the three-point line on the left, Nowitzki caught the ball and lifted it up, but Lewis did not press.
Nowitzki didn't like him, so he pulled it out and ejaculated..."
At this time, Lewis's flaws were undoubtedly exposed.
Once upon a time, it was not unreasonable for the league's general managers not to select him in the draft.
With a height of 2.08 meters, he is still a shooter at the power forward position.
What about gaining weight? My shooting will probably decline and my speed advantage will be lost.
What if you don’t gain weight? When an opponent uses weight or height to beat him, what do you use to counter him?
You can't stand it.
You can only listen to the sound of gunshots, betting that your opponent's pistol has no bullets!
No matter how you look at it, it’s all unreliable stuff!
Swish——!
With the knife in his hand and his hand falling, Nowitzki made an independent three-point shot, and he was sure to win without any friends.
9 to 5!
"The Mavericks, a jump shooting team, have too many top shooters.
If Chandler was replaced by Howard, this team would basically have no flaws.
Now the Mavericks have no inside advantage. With breakthroughs, three-pointers and offensive firepower, they still suppress the Magic..."
Off the court, Stan Van Gundy was also in trouble.
This is a forced killing by a superstar, what else can he do?
You can only let the bullets fly for a while, after all, jump shooting teams are unstable.
If it feels like it's going to explode, I'll probably kill myself.
Now we just need to do our best offensively.
However, the Magic's offense is not easy to do well.
Without Turkoglu as an adjuster, it's equivalent to Howard missing the ball-handling offense and Nelson missing organizing passes. They also lack stable shooting and a big heart at critical times...
It can only be said that the management played a bad hand with Turkoglu and allowed the Magic to build an offensive system for several years, which was completely useless.
Now I can only play Star Wars.
"The basketball is in Howard's hands again.
This time, Chandler did not let Howard rush up and defended forward. Although Howard got the basketball with his steel-like body, he had no space and fell into the Mavericks' pocket defense..."
Howard didn't have the ability to shoot, and he didn't have the ability to hold the ball in the low post. When faced with a double attack, he chose to go up to the man, but found that he couldn't break it, so he had to throw the basketball reluctantly.
"Lewis received the basketball, but had no room to shoot. Nowitzki quickly returned to defend, but Lewis did not waste the ball. He passed the ball to Carter, but it was also blocked by Butler.
Carter, whose breakthrough was no longer sharp, handed the basketball to Nelson Jr. to reorganize.
Receive the ball, accelerate, break through, Kidd sticks close to him, Jiangsu North comes to help defend, and there is not much time left for the Magic to attack. Nelson Jr. cannot break in and chooses to throw the basketball out of the perimeter. Richardson receives the pass.
After some adjustments, Su Bei also turned around and returned to defense..."
Seeing that time was running out, Richardson had no choice but to bite the bullet and shoot a pull-up jumper in front of Su Bei...
Snapped--!
Su Bei anticipated Richardson's move, jumped up directly, and reached out to block the shot.
"pretty!
Su Bei's hand touched the basketball, Richardson made a three-touch move, and the basketball flew out of the baseline.
But before that, the Magic's 24 seconds of attack time had ended.
The Mavericks defended a 24-second violation by the Magic, and the ball belongs to the Mavericks..."
"The Magic's offensive flaws are too obvious and they rely too much on Howard's inside advantage to open them up.
Without Turkoglu, the Magic's offense has changed less. It can still bully a team that is not strong inside. Facing the Mavericks' championship-level inside strength, they want to use Howard's body to bully them.
People, efficiency cannot be improved.”
"Next, let's look at the Mavericks' offense. Speaking of which, the Mavericks are also equipped with four shooters inside.
It can't be said to be similar to the Magic, it can only be said to be exactly the same.
but……"
Chandler is not the main point of the Mavericks' offense, nor does he lead an offensive system.
In terms of offense, it starts from Kidd's dealing of cards, with the forward players' breakthrough and one-on-one as the main attack point, and it is an outside-in attack.
Well, it can also be said that the sound is internal and the external is attacked, the sheep is attacking the internal line, and the actual attack is the external line.
"Kidd continues to play Su Bei's cards, this is the rhythm of doting on one person!
Richardson used to be pretty good defensively and hit great shots, but now his athleticism has declined and he's just giving up points.
Kidd’s choice is very reasonable!
Su Bei raised his head and took a three-point shot, but Richardson did not press.
After shooting, Su Bei didn't hesitate, as if he had predicted Richardson's action, he pulled it up and shot a three-point jumper..."
Swish——!
Letting the snake go depends on who the opponent is.
The Magic are defending a zone and are not afraid of three-pointers. It is no wonder that Richardson would let Su Bei go.
After all, Su Bei's breakthrough made him worry about one thing and the other, so what else could he do?
12 to 5!
The Mavericks' three-pointer opened the score instantly.
Stan Van Gundy was standing on the sidelines, yelling about being careful about defense.
In fact, he didn't panic!
Everything is under control of the plan.
A jump shooting team's feel cannot last forever.
He just needs to wait here.
Just wait until death!
It just depends on when the Mavericks' shooting will die.
But basketball is not calculation.
To be fair, Stan Van Gundy did guess the beginning of the Mavericks, but he didn't guess the beginning of the Magic.
When they were "waiting to die", the Magic's shot was the first to "kill" themselves.
Bang-dang——!
Facing a double attack and unable to get to the basket, Howard chose to try his shooting touch.
If so, the Mavericks wouldn't dare target him like this.
But if you try, you will die. Howard paid the price for his unreliable shooting because of his body's inability to cope.
His attack failed!
The Magic's "one star, four shots" system implemented by Howard failed to take effect.
The outside shooter can only hold the ball, against the Mavericks' outside defense, and force the shot...
Bang-dang——!
Lewis' three-pointer missed!
…
Bang-dang——!
Carter's three-pointer is gone!
…
The Magic's offense was all misfired.
Since they don't understand offense, then don't let the Mavericks understand their offense either.
Bang-dang——!
There was a problem with the Mavericks' shooting.
Nowitzki and Su Bei's three-pointers failed.
However, the Mavericks' offense is not just about three-pointers, but also breakthroughs and singles by stars.
Despite this, the Mavericks are still slowly accumulating a lead.
After the first quarter, the score was 31 to 19, and the Mavericks had a 12-point lead.
Su Bei made 5 of 7 shots and 2 of 5 three-pointers. He scored 12 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds, and performed like a superstar.
Howard made 1 of 4 free throws, 3 of 6 free throws, and scored 5 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block. His statistics looked good, but his efficiency was not on the same level as that of Subei.
In the second quarter, Carlisle did not give the Magic a chance to breathe, and sent Nowitzki, Marion, Su Bei, Terry and Barea.
On the bench, there are Kidd, Chandler and Butler, and Stevenson is resting. With two playoff-level lineups, it is so simple to fight for wealth.
Stan Van Gundy could only take over, JJ Redick was injured, and he didn't have many cards to use, so he sent Gortat, Ryan Anderson, and Michael Pietrus.
Then, Carter and Nelson Jr. led the team.
To be fair, the Magic's draft vision is still okay.
Gortat and Anderson will both play at a quasi-All-Star level in the future and are good potential stocks.
But the management wanted to cause trouble, but they were both naive and fond of doing things, thus ruining their good cards.
