Chapter 389: All that's left is to open up some space and do it!
With the adjustment of Carlisle, the old 6, in the first quarter of the game, the Mavericks could not get any advantage, winning first and then losing.
After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers, led by Aldridge, who made 5 of 6 shots and 1 of 2 free throws, scored 11 points and 0 rebounds, achieved a lead. Even though it was only one point, it was a lead.
Nowitzki and Su Bei ended the game less than half a quarter. The one who scored the most points was Kidd, who made 3 of 5 shots and 2 of 4 three-pointers. He scored 8 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds, becoming a superstar. posture.
In the second quarter of the game, Carlisle played a rich game and sent out Haywood, Nowitzki, Stojakovic, Su Bei and Terry. The lineup cannot be said to be similar, it can only be said to be very close.
"The Trail Blazers' rotation is not bad, with Aldridge, Gerald Wallace, Batum, Matthews and Rudy Fernandez.
It’s a rotation of seven to eight people. In terms of hardness, it may be comparable to that, but it won’t last long. It’s really hard to guess without having done it...”
The second quarter started with the Mavericks attacking the ball.
Terry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and in front of Fernandez, he hit the target with a sudden stop and made a two-point pull-up jumper.
Swish——!
Easily scored two points.
Fernandez attacked the strong and weak shooter and tried to block Terry with a tight press, but ultimately lost it.
Physical confrontation is too weak!
However, it is impossible for Fernandez to survive in the NBA without a few tools.
"Driving the ball to the frontcourt, continuously changing directions, taking one step away from the three-point line, facing Terry's block, he raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper..."
Terry is only 1.88 meters tall and Fernandez is 1.98 meters tall. The defense is useless.
Terry could only bet that there were no bullets in Fernandez's three-point pistol.
Swish——!
Wrong guess, Fernandez's pistol had bullets in it.
Hong Kong Zhen, three points, is the guy who eats Fernandez. It has the same crazy characteristics as Terry. Betting on someone else's guy who eats is useless. That's nine out of ten bets that you will lose.
"The Mavericks offense, there's nothing good to say..."
Just ask and cum!
Nowitzki, Stojakovic, Su Bei and Terry all have good shooting skills, and Haywood is just good at grabbing rebounds.
The rest is to open up space and do it.
"Su Bei made a three-pointer from the right corner, passed through the basket, and ran to the left. At the same time, Stojakovic crossed from the left to the right.
Both of them looked for Haywood's cover to get rid of the defensive players..."
Nowitz distributes the ball from the high post, turns over the more athletic Subei card and gets rid of the better.
Outside the 45-degree three-point line on the left side, he caught the ball, lifted it up, and knocked Matthews away. He bent his knees again, jumped up, and raised his hand to shoot a three-point jumper...
Swish——!
An ordinary shot, a sure hit.
The Mavericks have four of the top 15 three-point shooters in the league, and they are all on the court at the same time. What can you do to top them?
You can't stand it.
Bang-dang——!
Aldridge wanted to continue his shooting form in the first quarter, but his shots were fine in the first quarter, but he couldn't get back in the second quarter. His first shot, under the interference of Nowitzki, missed the ball.
"It's so tiring. Aldridge is the main attacker in the first attack, and the entire team's offense is in his hands.
No rest is allowed, the physical exertion is too great..."
"On the contrary, the Mavericks' players have full physical fitness.
Here it comes again, during the attack, another corner swap between left and right wing players.
Stojakovic received Terry's pass and also made an open three-point jumper..."
Swish——!
"Another three-pointer!
That's right, Stojakovic only received $650,000 in salary space from the Mavericks.
However, the value of his three-point shooting is definitely worth tens of millions.
The Mavericks have too many stars who can shoot. It’s impossible to find the feeling of shooting like this..."
While the Mavericks' shooting state is hot, the Trail Blazers' shooting state has plummeted.
I originally thought that Fernandez's three-pointer would be a good start, but I didn't expect that it would be the climax of the Trail Blazers in the next 6 minutes.
Bang-dang——!
Batum used the pick-and-roll screen to avoid Su Bei's follow-up defense, and also made a two-point jumper.
…
Bang-dang——!
Matthews hit Stojakovic with his back, turned around and shot a jumper, but also failed to hit.
…
Bang-dang——!
After a round, the Blazers were actually stronger than the other.
However, after the Mavericks opened up the situation from the outside, they started to attack inside. They scored more two-pointers, but the offense was still unstoppable.
If Carlisle hadn't had any reservations, Stojakovic would have been substituted.
After only a few minutes of play, Nowitzki also came off the court to take a rest. The substitution was somewhat inexplicable. If his own team disrupted his own state, the Blazers would probably be defeated in just the second quarter.
.
Not even a possibility, but a certainty.
Even with Carlisle as an undercover player, showing his so-called tactician master's demeanor, the Mavericks still defeated the Trail Blazers in the second quarter, scoring a score of one.
"Aldridge's shooting couldn't open up, and the Blazers' offense was in trouble.
A single-core star really can’t make it far in the playoffs..."
At the end of the first half, the Mavericks entered the locker room to rest with a 13-point advantage.
After resting for 15 minutes, he returned to the second half of the game.
"The main forces of both sides will then play music and then fight again.
The Trail Blazers began to waste time on offense. Perhaps they have understood that they cannot complete the task of defeating the Mavericks by fighting against the Mavericks.
By dragging the game into a defensive battle and grinding it out bit by bit, it is possible to defeat this Mavericks team that is prone to overturning in the playoffs..."
Not to mention, as offensive players, the Trail Blazers have little defensive ability, but they are very ambitious in their thinking.
Such a sudden increase in the intensity of the confrontation really made the Mavericks' generals a little unsuitable.
The main reason is that Carlisle changed a group of main players after playing for a few minutes, and it was really difficult to continue in good condition.
You have just started to get emotional and are ready to start fucking. If you pour cold water on me, no one will be able to harden you.

Bang-dang——!
…
Nowitzki is 1 of 4, Marion is 1 of 4, Subei is 1 of 3, Terry is 0 of 2, Barea is 0 of 2...
In a desperate show, the Mavericks only scored 14 points in the third quarter.
Fortunately, the Trail Blazers stalled for time and played at a slow pace, so the points they could score were not that high. They scored 20 points and recovered 6 points in this quarter.
Both Android and Apple are available.】
"The Trail Blazers saw the formula for winning, and defense is the key to beating the Mavericks.
This is also the lifeblood of a jump-shooting team. If you can't shoot the ball, you will play a ridiculous game..."
Hong Kong, the Trail Blazers counted on the beginning, but did not count on Nowitzki's performance in the fourth quarter.
"The game started in the fourth quarter, and it was the Trail Blazers who took the lead in shooting.
Consecutive goals from Aldred and Batum once helped the Trail Blazers narrow the point difference to 3 points.
However, Nowitzki stepped up and took over the game..."
With 2 of 4 shots and 1 of 3-pointers, Nowitzki used his strength to defeat the Trail Blazers' defense. He scored 18 points in a single quarter, leading the Mavericks to beat the Trail Blazers by a score.
"Camby's inability to play would be fatal to the Trail Blazers.
Aldridge was beaten by Nowitzki in the fourth quarter without Camby's help.
In just one game, we committed three fouls..."
You know, Camby, who was born in 1974, is already 37 years old and can play 29 minutes. He has worked very hard.
The main reason to blame is that the Trail Blazers were blind, drafted Oden wrongly, and had a critical moment at the center position.
Aldridge is a soft guy and can't hold someone up, so what can you do to hold him up?
Should we focus on both offense and defense?
This question is too difficult, he can’t do it!
Buzz——!
As the buzzer sounded, the red light came on, and the game time ended. The score showed that the Mavericks defeated the Trail Blazers with an 11-point advantage and got a good start in the first round of the playoffs. The score was temporarily 1-0.
Nowitzki made 7 of 20 shots, 3 of 3-pointers, and 3 assists in rebounds. He didn't lose his appearance as the King of Nowitzki, and it was enough to play a good game.
Kidd made 9 of 14 shots and 6 of 10 three-pointers. He scored 24 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds. Kidd had a night of eating dumplings even if he didn't attack, and he looked like a superstar.
Su Bei made 6 of 11 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, and scored 17 points, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds. His performance was just okay and he did not lose the face of the Big Three.
Even though only three players scored in double figures, it was enough to defeat the Trail Blazers.
Aldridge made 3 of 4 free throws and scored 27 points and 6 rebounds.
Andre Miller made 7 of 13 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws, scoring 18 points and 6 assists.
Batum made 6 of 14 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 14 points and 4 assists.
The Trail Blazers also had three players who scored in double figures, and they had too few players who could play. The thickness of the lineup was overwhelmed, and the loss was not unfair.
