Chapter 801 Don't provoke the old driver with the 4D outbreak~
Dallas' home game seems to have been affected by the Lakers' 2-0 loss, and the overall situation seems a bit sluggish. The reason is nothing more than the fact that the Mavericks fans themselves lack confidence in their team and don't have much confidence.
Everyone knows that the West is not the East, and the competition here is fierce. It would be lucky for the Mavericks to squeeze into the playoffs in the end. It is unimaginable to hope that they can kill the first seed this season, Los Angeles, which tied the 33-game winning streak in the regular season.
Lakers, this is nothing more than a daydream.
"Black eight"? Come on, how many times has it been in the history of the NBA? Is it really that easy, is it still called "black eight"?
Furthermore, the Mavericks' lineup makes them feel hopeless. Monta Ellis is an A.T.M machine for offense, and an A.T.M machine for defense. If he can attack well, that's enough. Don't expect too much on defense.
Things. Jose Calderon? The biggest highlight of this guy should be the three-point shot. He basically has no ability to break through and create inside damage. Furthermore, this guy is also a very poor defensive point. Apart from the three-point shot, he is
His passing is smooth, not too eye-catching, but not too many mistakes. A player whose strengths and weaknesses are equally obvious.
Next is the old trio, Nowitzki + Marion + Carter. Originally Carter was supposed to be a substitute in the regular season, but in order to fight against the Lakers, Rick Carlisle wanted to make a "strange move", but the effect was obviously not good.
Garrick Carlisle is mainly good at operations and long-term construction. This kind of cunning and short-term planning has never been his strong point.
He likes to play tactics and various tactics. This is the reason why he will conflict with Rondo in the future.
Basically, it doesn’t give the point guard much room for independent development. Of course, facts have proven that his tactical level is still very high, but sometimes it tends to be complicated, and ordinary point guards cannot figure out his tactical intentions. Kidd can, then
It's because he is a historical point guard master, and he is already older when he comes to the Mavericks, and he doesn't have much desire to argue. But...how many Kidd do you think there are in the entire league?
In other words, how many Kidds have there been in history?
The strength of the Lakers is still very obvious. Just counting Kobe, it is enough to defeat Monta Ellis countless times.
Ability and physique are not on the same level.
There was no way. Carlisle, who had failed in the previous two games, had no choice but to replace Dalembert in this game. The Mavericks' lineup was really terrible. It was mediocre to the extreme.
What should we do? What we can’t do, unless a miracle happens, we can’t win against our opponent.
Nowitzki looked at his teammates around him. He knew that someone had to step up and take the lead, otherwise he would lose this game and be swept away. As a man who has won MVP+FMVP, he has not always been
So low-key.
Back then, he stood up, took the lead, defeated the defending champion Lakers, and then inspired the team's confidence in one fell swoop, and finally won the championship. Now, what he has to do is the same as back then.
Look down on me? Think the Mavericks are a dilapidated and dry scarecrow?
Sorry, I don't admit it or accept it.
In the first quarter, the Mavericks locked horns with the Lakers, 34-27 in a single quarter, and the latter led by 7 points entering the second quarter.
In the second quarter, the Mavericks began to counterattack. No, it should be their No. 41, team spirit Dirk Nowitzki.
After receiving the ball, brush~ and hit from mid-range.
Another ball, brush~, hit again from mid-range.
On the third ball, Gasol saved it too quickly and was broken through by Nowitzki with the ball, which ultimately resulted in Jordan Hill's inside defensive foul. Swipe~ The penalty line was added to the free throw line and he made a steady hit. 2+1, all of a sudden
, the Germans scored 7 points. Forget it, after all, he is "King Nuo Tian", a man who was once regarded as a super giant. It is not surprising that he is so successful. But some people underestimated him.
"Dirk shook Pau Gasol again. He rushed into the penalty area. Two Lakers double-teamed him inside. Dirk passed the ball! The basketball flew into the hands of Devin in the bottom corner! Devin made a three-pointer
Take action! Brush~Hit!"
"Dirk broke into the penalty area and caused a defensive foul on Pau Gasol. He made 2 of 2 extra free throws!!!"
…
This is simply Nowitzki's personal performance! Seeing this sign, Mike D'Antoni quickly replaced Tang Qian. The playoffs are still different from the regular season. D'Antoni's substitutions are more precise and flexible. First
Tang Qian's appearance was appropriately reduced in the second quarter, which allowed No. 29 to play in the second quarter for emergencies. In the early part of the season, there was a shortage of players, and there was no way. In the later part of the season, the team's strength soared, so you don't need to pay too much attention to this matter. So.
At the beginning of the playoffs, D'Antoni adopted a new playing time allocation mechanism for Tang Qian.
I thought that this would be the same as in the regular season. Tang Qian was not only selected for this year's defensive first team and best defensive player, it was also a sure thing. He also has the rare movement and speed of a 7-footer. This is
It is also possible to expand the defense. He is simply one of the most suitable "small ball centers" in D'Antoni's mind. However, in this game, Tang Qian was seriously troubled by his "inner demons", which was different from the "inner demons" in the previous games.
"Slightly" is completely different. I lost 23% of my competitive status in one go.
This is a bit cruel! The drop of more than 20% is in all aspects, which makes Tang Qian's ability drop a lot compared to the regular season.
So Nowitzki is still scoring.
When he faced Tang Qian, he was completely different from the regular season. He did not retreat but advanced, bursting out with extremely strong firepower.
"Dirk holds the ball on the wing, and the person guarding him is Lakers No. 29. What will Dirk do? Triple threat? Then...then he shoots directly!!! The ball...goes in! YES!!!" The home court of the Mavericks
Commentator Derek Hubble shouted loudly that the ball was played very decisively. The Lakers' strategy of relying on Tang Qian to block Nowitzki was met with a slap in the face from the beginning.
Fortunately, the Lakers also made a pass, and Nash connected with the pass and directly assisted.
The next ball? It was given to Nowitzki again???
This style of play is a bit like "breaking the game with force". I know that the Lakers are going to attack me, but I just keep playing and attacking. Generally speaking, King Nuo rarely does this kind of ball in the regular season.
However, in the playoffs, it is not uncommon for him to play like this. To say that he is a softie? That is really the bullshit evaluation of ESPN back then!
I think back then, he averaged 9.9 points per game in the fourth quarter of the playoffs, which was infinitely close to 10 points, and his shooting percentage was as high as 51%+53%+94%! Come on, this is the fourth quarter data of the playoffs! Damn it!
It’s almost the “200 club”! Is this still a human being??? The “180 club” is the representative of super efficiency, okay. “200 club”? Or is it the crucial fourth quarter? This is equivalent to an invincible attitude!
It can be said responsibly that Nowitzki this year is more stable than Jordan in the crucial fourth quarter. In fact, he played very average in the first three quarters, but once he broke out... it was like modifying his ability value.
Same! To give a more specific example, there were a total of 6 games in the finals that year. What was Nowitzki's overall shooting percentage? Around 41%! He was completely different from the perverts in the previous rounds, but if you only looked at the data,
You will definitely think, wow~Fighting against the fifth scum, what kind of dominance is this? Winning the FMVP is not luck, right? But what about the fourth quarter? What about the crucial fourth quarter? The reason why the Mavericks were able to win that year! Finally won the cup!
That's what Terry said, we just need to drag the game into the fourth quarter, and then Dirk will lead us away from the game!
In the final quarter, he made 18 of 35 shots and 24 free throws for a total of 62 points! The shooting percentage reached 51.4%!!! This is the finals!!! The finals with the strongest defense!!! Compare Wade and James, the two
That year, I only made 23 of 50 shots, 11 of 14 free throws, and scored 62 points! What about the shooting percentage? Only 46%!!! In other words, at the critical moment, King Nuo suppressed the James Connection alone!
!!You call this kind of person a softie???
In the first game of the Finals, his left middle finger was injured, and he was splinted later like Kobe. In the second game of the Finals, his right forearm was injured while defending. In the fourth game of the Finals, his fever exceeded 101 degrees Fahrenheit, and it remained the same in the fourth quarter.
It's a steady 10 points.
Do you think he doesn’t hold grudges? No, he just doesn’t say it! Do you think he isn’t proud? No, he just doesn’t say it!
Back then, Wade took away the championship with his "body hair whistle", and then made wild remarks after the game, claiming that Nowitzki did not play a key role at the critical moment, so the Mavericks failed. In short, this is to step on the opponent and raise it.
Tang Qian himself felt that it was a bit excessive back then, because most of Wade's so-called key roles came from "refereeing", but he simply ignored this point.
Do you think Germans have no temper? No, in the All-Star Game the next year, he was the only one who didn't fist bump with Wade.
I've said it before, but he doesn't say it, but that doesn't mean he doesn't remember it.
James and Wade's "cough imitation" before Game 5 of the Finals, mocking him for pretending to be sick in Game 4, was also remembered in his mind, but he didn't say it at the time.
In comparison, James’s Twitter declaration of “NOW.OR.NEVER” during the Battle of Tianwangshan is more like a little boy’s demonstration. So really, really, don’t underestimate Nowitzki, he is the 2016
A man who can score 20+ points in the playoffs with the "180 Club".
If the veteran driver gets angry, the consequences will be serious.
As a super giant, he naturally has the dignity of a super giant.
Tang Qian defended Nowitzki alone. Nowitzki knew that his physical fitness was far inferior to that of his opponent, so he withdrew from where he was. Tang Qian saved the ball in time, but it was still a little bit behind.
Under the influence of "Inner Demon", his competitive state is not as strong as the regular season. Defensive state is of course included in it. However, even so, it is still a good defense. At least Nowitzki's shot
, a bit based on reluctance.
But……
"YES! YES! In!!! In again!!! Dirk!!! Dirk!!!"
Amid the shouts of Mavericks' on-site commentator Derek Hubble, Tang Qian turned around in disbelief, but the basketball had already passed through the Lakers' net.
"You are very strong, but your form in this series is not good, and..." Nowitzki looked at Tang Qian after scoring and said, "Even if you are at your peak, you can't guard me."
There wasn't much pretense, it was just plain and simple, but Nowitzki's constant goals put tremendous pressure on Tang Qian.
He tried many times, but he just couldn't defend his opponent. Nowitzki was obviously in great condition.
And it's comprehensive, the state explodes.
After Tang Qian defended him, he still maintained a shooting percentage of 6 of 8. At the same time, he also made full use of his offensive threat and began to mobilize the entire Mavericks team to attack. This is very similar to 10-11
season.
The Lakers were a bit overwhelmed, and the Mavericks seemed to be gradually awakening and being revitalized.
Harris, Jose Calderon, Carter, Marion, and Wayne Ellington all began to blossom, and the score difference was overturned in one fell swoop. This was because Kobe had a tight grip on Monta Avery.
It's because of Si, otherwise if he starts to get angry too, it will be a big trouble.
This is the first time this series has been so intense and so close.
Jay Williams, who was about to fall asleep in the broadcast room, suddenly woke up and started chatting with the black Lakers guests, as if the Lakers team was suddenly full of loopholes.
Of course, this is also in line with ESPN's broadcast laws. Otherwise, there would be nothing to look forward to and watch if they were crushed all the way.
Although they don't really think that the Mavericks can "black eight", can defeat the top, and kill the Lakers. They just want some resistance and some chaos, which is what they are looking forward to.
At least we can't let the Lakers kill everyone in such a big way, right?
In the fourth quarter, the Lakers and Mavericks were in a stalemate. In the last five minutes, the score increased alternately.
With 4 minutes and 06 seconds left, the two sides were tied. Nowitzki broke through and passed the ball. Calderon passed a second pass to the left side for a three-pointer. Old Carter made a three-pointer. With a brush, the basketball accurately shot into the Lakers' basket.
In the basket, Carter's shooting percentage in this series is very high, not much different from the original time and space, and even more impressive.
In the playoffs this season, he took 4.4 three-point shots and made 2.1 hits, and his three-point shooting percentage reached a terrifying 48.4%. He has not lost at all in this series. So far, his three-point shooting percentage has exceeded
48%, and it is very likely to continue to climb and improve. This is definitely not a good thing, and it is definitely not a good signal.
Back then, the Mavericks were able to kill the Lakers and block the purple and gold dynasty's three-game dream, relying on all kinds of abnormal mid-to-long-range baskets. If they shoot again, they will suffer a big disaster!!! Regarding this point,
, Kobe is the most vigilant and the most vivid in his memory.
But it is not easy for him to kill Monta Ellis by himself. After all, Ellis is not very good on the defensive end, but he has always been very good on the offensive end. At the highest level in his career, he can be regarded as a top scorer in the league.
Realm. The highest level in the playoffs has reached 26+. This is also the level of a first-class scorer.
But for any player who has reached this level, it is basically difficult to completely kill him. Ellis was in poor condition tonight, and Kobe was really good at defense and never left the game, which allowed the former's score to stay in single digits.
The shooting percentage is dismal. Furthermore, as for outside players, if you can guard just one, it's good. Well, generally speaking, you can only take care of one.
Kobe can no longer defend others.
After both sides played a few fine shots, Kobe attracted the defense and passed the ball to Nash. Nash broke the game with a three-pointer, and the Lakers once again led by 3 points. But not long after, the Mavericks, who came back from the timeout, used a tactical ball to tear the Lakers apart.
The team's outside defense was still Carter, shooting a three-pointer from the bottom corner directly through the net!
In the next round, the Lakers didn't handle it well. They made the game too complicated and passed too many passes, which directly led to... turnovers!
The basketball was taken by the Mavericks, and Calderon of the Mavericks beat Nash hard. Nash, who is over 40 years old, was completely unable to defend himself on the defensive end after playing 40+ minutes in the playoffs. The Mavericks led by 2 points.
Gasol scored the next ball with a hook, tying the game.
The Mavericks missed the next shot, and the rebound was protected by Tang Qian. The Lakers got a chance to take the lead. Kobe cut and ran, received Nash's pass, and hit the layup, but the force was a little too strong. Basketball hit the board.
He missed and only got 2 free throw opportunities. However, Kobe only made 1 of 2 free throws, and the rebound was protected by Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks.
Don't underestimate Nowitzki too much. His rebounding in the regular season is indeed a bit "soy sauce", but in the playoffs, just like his scoring, he is completely unambiguous and has greatly improved across the board! He has directly risen to 10+ rebounds in his career.
Level! This is already the rebounding data per game of an excellent 4th position! To put it inappropriately, Garnett, Malone, Ewing, Bill Laimbeer, Larry Bird are also at this level. Nowitzki is absolutely
He is a king-level playoff player, and he does not play tricks!
Then on the offensive end, the Mavericks began to give the ball directly to Nowitzki.
Tang Qian immediately stared at him, but now that his blocking ability has not been activated, it is impossible to block a shot from the front so easily, let alone the world-famous "Golden Rooster Independent" fadeaway jumper! This move, because it is far away from the inside and the basket,
Even if you want to block shots with the Rockets, it's all empty talk! Even if Chamberlain comes at his peak, it will be the same!
The most effective range for the Rockets to block shots is the basket and inside or outside? Originally, it is mainly about interference! Unless you use ability cards, no one can be immune!
Tang Qian had no problem defending the ball, but this 7-foot white man just shot it in, as if there was no defender in front of him!
That's not all! This is just the beginning! In the next few consecutive balls, Nowitzki made consecutive shots, 4 of 5 in a wave, which directly made Tang Qian's defensive mentality more sensitive. The next ball Noitzki
Witsky just raised his hand slightly, and Tang Qian threw himself out uncontrollably! The result was, of course, a foul, and Nowitzki made 2 of 2 free throws!
In this way, the Mavericks secured the victory. Even if Kobe Bryant scored a three-pointer at the end and reduced the score to only 1 point, it would be of no avail. The game time was only 1.8 seconds, and even a foul would be difficult. The Mavericks
He threw a high-altitude ball directly and consumed the remaining game time.
Wow~ the game is over.
The final score was 108-109. The Los Angeles Lakers lost to the Dallas Mavericks by 1 point, and the big score was tied at 2-1.
In this campaign, Nowitzki scored 38 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. The most important thing is that his overall shooting percentage is close to 60%!!! Come on, he has no "chance" tonight.
"Ball" and "open ball" are good! In other words, this shooting percentage of nearly 60% is all achieved by the Germans playing one ball after another!
This is simply monster-level data!!! If you are a senior fan, then you must know that this data is even more exaggerated than the ordinary 40~50 points!!! It is even stronger!!!
What about the Lakers? Kobe still scored 30 points efficiently, Gasol 18 points, Nick Young 15 points, Meeks 10 points, Nash 10 points and 10 assists. Plus some sporadic scores from others, and
Not bad. Then why did we lose? The reason is that No. 29 Tang Qian. Not only was Tang Qian blown up by Nowitzki in this game, he also didn’t play well, with a shooting percentage lower than
40%! Only 9 points were scored! This was pitiful compared to the previous period and the 33-game winning streak!
His failure at this point was the main reason why the Lakers lost tonight.
You can say that he is the top cover and took over Gasol's defensive duties. If Gasol is asked to defend Nowitzki tonight, it may even be worse. But... there are not so many ifs in basketball.
The fact is that Tang Qian was the one guarding No. 41 of the Mavericks tonight, but he failed to complete his task and was shot by his opponent. It's that simple.
No need to make a bunch of useless excuses.
Tonight was the night for the veteran driver, and he had the last laugh.
But Lakers fans are still optimistic that this is just a matter of carelessness and carelessness on the part of the Lakers. They will win the next game.
PS: Xiao Zi is very awesome tonight, well, it’s been updated for 10,000 words~ This is really a bit beyond Xiao Zi’s own expectations~
