I really just want to be a role player Chapter 463: Playing recklessly with the ball is quite unreasonable, as if he beat the old master to death with random punches!
Chapter 463: Playing recklessly with the ball is quite unreasonable, as if he beat the old master to death with random punches!
In the rotation game in the second quarter, without the capable Mavericks, they had no choice but to use the offensive capabilities of Terry and Carter, the "double special combination".
Both were born in 1977. Rounding off, they are both 35 years old. They are also an older group. Together with the Five Tigers, the average age is 34 years old...
Well, I don’t know if the Mavericks’ management is good at what they say, but they are definitely talented.
As far as this player framework is concerned, there are people playing basketball there, so it’s a nursing home!
"I just like that you guys are old enough and good enough!
What is Cuban doing?
We will carry the old boys team to the end and plan to let them grow old together with Nowitzki..."
The old boy is inspirational, but his condition is unstable, his combat effectiveness has declined, and he can't get strong. This is very scientific and reasonable!
"Terry got the basketball and was outside the three-point line. He ignored Harden's defense and took the ball. He raised his hand and hit a three-point jumper..."
Bang-dang——!
The basket didn't tolerate him and denied him a goal.
At this time, Terry was not in convulsive mode, and his shots were delivered."
…
"It was Carter who took the ball and challenged Su Bei. The three threats feinted and dribbled the ball in front of him. When he saw Su Bei fighting and retreating, he immediately took over and dribbled. He changed direction and stopped suddenly. He lifted the ball and raised it.
The hand is a two-point fadeaway jumper...
Bang-dang——!
Carter did it too.
His shot, like Terry's, also missed."
…
Terry, who was playing unreasonably, and Carter, who was following the Romans, tried to solve the Thunder with a simple jump shot attack. Unexpectedly, they did not bring a microwave oven, but the touch was not on their side. The offensive shots were hit one after another, and the Mavericks' offense also failed.
The only two rotation players who could play, they had no shooting touch, and their condition was called a stretch. However, the two of them did not try to break through to cause damage, but continued to try to take jump shots. As a result, they would die if they tried.
"This is a problem for teams that focus on jump shots, playing outside.
If you have a good feel, you will be awesome. If you don’t have a good feel, you will be a devil..."
The closer you are to the basket, the higher your hit rate. What Lu Xun said is so true. It is impossible for someone who has been involved in the double special combination for more than ten years not to know it.
It's a pity that Terry and Carter have no choice. They are 35 years old and their physical ability has declined. What can they do to break through?
…
"Su Bei feinted a shot from outside the three-point line, changed direction in front of the body, dribbled the ball and broke through.
Carter's defense was compromised, and his pace was not as good as before. He could only fight and retreat, but Su Bei rushed to the end. He rushed up to meet the man under the basket, knocked Carter's body away, and dodged Yin'an Mahinmi's block.
Put the basketball into the basket."
…
"After Harden's triple threat, he stepped down to dribble and broke through. Terry was passed, and he European-stepped the ball for a layup...
Swish——!
Still on target!
The Mavericks' defense is useless if it can't stand up to the outside and outside, and can't protect the inside and outside.
Without boxing champion Chandler, when Haywood came off the court again, the Mavericks basketball basket was easily penetrated..."
Terry and Carter were in unreliable condition, and their defense was lost. Coach Carlisle could only ask Nowitzki to resist.
If the game is not going smoothly, the team's superstar will have to step up. This is quite reasonable, but it is nothing more than depleting Nowitzki's physical fuel tank in advance.
But at this time, the situation on the court could no longer be solved by just relying on role players, even advanced version of role players. He also wanted to be a good person and let Nowitzki use his good steel on the edge.
But he had no choice but to let Nowitzki fight in advance.
"Nowitzki took the ball and singled out Collison. The three-threat took a step, put his feet back, raised the ball and made a three-pointer.
Collison couldn't ignore Nowitzki's three-pointer. He threw it out, and sure enough, he collected the ball, changed direction, and Nowitzki broke through with the ball.
Collison turned around to pursue the defense, and Nowitzki changed direction, hit a chasing ball, and made a European step layup, causing Collison's thug to foul..."
Standing on the free throw line, Nowitzki used precise free throws to chase the point.
And this is just the beginning!
"Nowitzki is too incomprehensible in a one-on-one matchup. At the age of 34, he is still able to stop the gods and kill the devils.
Collison couldn't stand it alone, so Su Bei had to help defend.
Nowitzki seemed to have predicted it, and he distributed the basketball to the left three-point corner. Carter caught the ball, and when it was empty, he raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..."
In zone defense tactics, the most feared three-pointer from the corner is a blank area for offense. Su Bei turned around and fought back no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain. He could only bet that Carter's three-point pistol had no bullets.
The only consolation for Subei is that Carter's shooting, especially the three-pointer, is mediocre.
Swish——!
He raised the knife and dropped it. He guessed wrongly. Carter's three-point pistol had bullets.
"We have been apart for three days, so we should see each other with admiration!
Carter is no longer the king who only dunked into the basket once upon a time.
Even Kidd's "basic and non-attacking" player can practice three-pointers. Carter has returned from being a demigod to a human being. He can practice three-pointers and switch to a 3D style of play. This is very reasonable..."
Without physical talent, just practice shooting skills. This is a routine operation for stars to extend their basketball careers. Su Bei is still looking down on the world.
No matter how bad Carter is doing now, there was a time when he was one of the top four shooting guards!
You still dare to let others go, this is not seeking death, so what is it!
Relying on Nowitzki's unsolvable singles and his organization-forward tactics, which allowed him to break out, shoot, and pass, the Mavericks gradually recovered the point difference, and the two sides entered into an anxious situation where you and I were back and forth, and no one could do anything about it.
"Although the Thunder have Billups, the rhythm of the game on the court is still properly arranged by the more experienced Mavericks.
The Thunder have overflowing physical talent, but they are unable to speed up, rush their body, and play a comfortable offensive..."
Off the court, Scott Brooks was very calm. The score could not be opened, and he was not in a hurry. Hu Ge... no, he was not in a hurry anyway.
With the advantages of age and cards, on their side, it is the other party who should be anxious.
At the 5th minute of the second quarter, during regular time, he replaced Durant, Westbrook and Yin Baka.
At this time, the Thunder's lineup became an offensive lineup with the Thunder's four young men and Su Bei full of offense.
As for the Mavericks, the core players have also returned to the court, becoming Haywood, Nowitzki, Marion, Kidd and Terry.
This lineup, except for Chandler who left the center position, the rest is the unsolvable lineup that the Mavericks used in their previous life in Jiangsu Province.
If there is even a need for a breakthrough, Barea, who left the Timberwolves, can be brought in to put 183 talents on the court.
At this time, the score was 40 to 39, and the Mavericks continued to lead by 1 point.
The Thunder had the ball. Westbrook brought the ball to the frontcourt and immediately became reckless with the ball.
"Westbrook beat Terry, Kidd came to help defend, the basketball was passed to Harden's hands in the right three-point corner, and then he dribbled the ball through.
The Mavericks didn't panic in their defensive formation. Kidd turned around to defend Harden, and Terry left Westbrook open and also defended in a zone.
Harden did not waver, and passed the ball back to Westbrook, who quickly passed the ball to Durant, then played music, and then broke through..."
Just because you can't increase your speed doesn't mean you can't use your physical talents.
When it comes to controlling rhythm, the Thunder can't compare.
However, if you are young and have a young style of play, and if your skills are not good, then you have to work hard, work hard, work hard for endurance...
Continuous, like the overflowing Yellow River, the out-of-control surprise battles will always cause the Mavericks to fall apart.
No one sprint can break down the Mavericks' formation. If not, then there will be a second one.
"The Thunder didn't play with skills, they acted recklessly.
Durant's breakthrough singles cannot be said to be similar to Nowitzki's, they can only be said to be exactly the same, and both are unsolvable.
Nowitzki was also unable to withstand the defense alone. Seeing that the defense was about to be lost, Marion came to help defend.
Hey, the Thunder played very patiently. In the last 5 seconds, Durant still chose to throw the basketball out of the left three-point corner.
Su Bei caught the ball, he was empty, he lifted the ball, and Marion flew over desperately.
What the hell?
Su Bei collected the ball, turned around, took two steps with the ball, and then threw the shot, making a jump shot with the whistle on..."
Swish——!
With the knife in hand, Su Bei accurately hit two points at the buzzer, helping the Thunder take the lead back.
40 to 41!
Hong Kong True, it’s only the second quarter now, so it really doesn’t make much sense to compare the score to one or two points.
However, the Thunder's method of copying the Mavericks' "dd tactics" directly caused the Mavericks a headache.
They knew in their hearts that a surprise attack like this from the Thunder would make their defense exhausted and lose sight of one thing.
With their average age of 34... no, with Terry back, he is already 35 years old. It is only a matter of time before such a really old boys lineup is overwhelmed by the Thunder's youthful and invincible talent style.
But this was the choice of Cuban, the warm-hearted boss, and the Mavericks could only adapt to circumstances and deal with it until that point.
Next, the rhythm on the court continued to be controlled by the Mavericks.
However, the Thunder's talent is visible to the naked eye. They constantly hit the basket and play recklessly with the ball. They are quite unreasonable and look like they beat the old master to death with random punches.
In the second quarter, the Thunder relied on their brutal play to suppress the Mavericks' court control and beat the Mavericks with a score of 31 to 23.
At the end of the first half, the score was 59 to 52, and the Thunder had a 7-point lead.
