Chapter 1148 Don't attack, force you to attack
At the start of the game, the Suns' home stadium, the Suns' home court, was filled with loud shouts of defending titles. It was like a tsunami.
With the jump ball, Dayao beat O'Neal, and the Suns attacked.
Running to the left, Li Ba faced Nowitzki, rushed to the frontcourt immediately, dropped Nowitzki with absolute speed, and cut into the paint from the left wing three-point line.
At this time, Stoudemire retreated, and Ginobili also threw the ball directly from the center line.
Stoudemire looked back to observe the height of the ball, but when he took off, Li Ba, who had already cut under him, took off first, surpassed his height with a faster bounce speed, and grabbed the ball with his longer arms.
Then, Li Ba glided forward, stretched his bow with one arm, and with a bang, the Mavericks' basket was exploded.
0:2, the Suns lead.
Barkley shook his head and sighed: "Stoudemire has lived up to the explosive quality of the year. In the interior contest, he is not at the same level as the Hammer."
Kenny Smith laughed: "Mr. Colangelo chose the hammer back then, so can he predict the future?"
Barkley laughed and said, "No, it's just that he chose tradition. Offensive and defensive, he chose the latter. He made a great choice. He is a very courageous person."
Kenny Smith nodded and said with a smile: "But now Stoudemire is not bad, his shooting can be used, he performed well this season, he hit 23+8 data, [-]% of the offense belongs to COSCO, and he was selected as an All-Star. He is still the top star in the league and the absolute main insider of the Mavericks."
Mavericks attack.
Nowitzki's shooting posture is too fucked up. Li Ba's defense is very strict. He adopts the way to cut off the passing line and way around the front, and defends directly on the line without giving a chance to catch the ball.
Nowitzki's mobility is far inferior to that of Li Ba, so he can only use pick-and-roll opportunities to find opportunities to catch the ball.
But he didn't ask for a pick-and-roll, just hovering around the three-point line on the right wing.
This is the tactical strategy of the Mavericks.
The little general Johnson thought hard. He thought that to limit Li Ba's defense, he could only abandon Nowitzki, the absolute core of offense, and use him to keep Li Ba on the wing three-point line, away from the paint.
That's why Nowitzki doesn't want to pick and roll, because he is not an offensive point today.
Stoudemire took the ball in two steps from the 45-degree three-point line on the left wing. Facing the defense of the Arab League, he first turned around and hit back, then suddenly turned right and made a breakthrough. After shaking back the Arab League, he got up and shot.
"Bang!" Missed.
Jermaine O'Neal grabbed the rebound and tried to dunk it on Dayao's head, but the latter slapped him off, but Jermaine O'Neal picked it up, and he gave the ball to Stoudemire.
Stoudemire made another shot, Ah Lian jumped up and blocked the block, but missed the shot. Looking back, the ball just passed the basket.
After Stoudemire hit a ball, he didn't make any exciting moves, but immediately returned to defense.
The current him is no longer the same as he was back then, and he is no longer as vigorous as he was back then.
Sun attack.
Ah Lian pulled out, Dayao pulled to the high position, and Li Ba was in the low position.
Li Ba played the first ball, but did not attack the second ball. Instead, he attracted double-teams in the low position and let others attack.
Nowitzki and Josh Howard double-teamed him in advance, and they didn't die. They all adopted an interference defense around the front to prevent him from receiving the ball under the basket.
In the end, Dayao singled O'Neal in the high post and hit a mid-range shot.
Three minutes later, 3:6, the Suns led by 8 points.
Li Ba understood a little bit. The German in front of him was just a show. He didn't ask for the ball even once today, so he took him around on the outside on the offensive end. This is trying to consume him!
Fortunately, the strength of the Suns lies there. Even if he did not contribute on the defensive end, the Mavericks did not take advantage.
In the first few rounds, the little general Johnson understood that although Li Ba could be restrained by doing this, the Mavericks had no chance of winning.
Distressed, he kept scratching his head, let Dirk join the attack, or continue like this?
When he didn't make a change, Li Ba took the lead in making a change on the court. He emptied Dirk by three meters, which is the defensive distance of two steps.
Li Ba's defense has always pursued initiative, and he wants to force Nowitzki to attack.
With such a large open space, Kidd didn't hold back, ignoring the tactical arrangements of the little general Johnson, and passed the ball.
The moment Kidd passed the ball, Li Ba took the first step towards Nowitzki.
Of course, Nowitzki saw Li Ba's action. The moment he caught the ball, he made a shooting action, took off, raised his right leg, and leaned back to shoot.
But Li Ba had been prepared for a long time, and he didn't take off head-on to block the block. He staggered a position.
"Snapped!"
The ball was slapped and flew towards the Suns' frontcourt.
Li Ba landed, forced the start, and rushed to the frontcourt. When Nowitzki landed and turned around, he had already crossed the center line and caught the ball in his hands.
In the middle, Kidd returned to the defense. Seeing Li Ba holding the ball from the left wing to the paint, he instinctively started to slow down at the free throw line.
"boom!"
Li Ba flew down and hit the Mavericks' basket with a one-armed dunk.
6:10, the Suns lead.
Looking back, the Mavericks attacked again, and Li Ba once again emptied Nowitzki by three meters.
If Nowitzki doesn't want the ball, then Li Ba will have the opportunity to return to the basket. Even if the Mavericks don't play inside, he can still grab rebounds.
So his shorting immediately forced the young general Johnson to change his tactical arrangement.
Next, the Mavericks called a timeout.
When the players of the two teams returned to the bench, Barkley analyzed: "In comparison, the Suns still have an advantage in terms of overall strength."
Kenny Smith said: "The Suns have the following two advantages: first, inside offense, both the Hammers and Yao can single anyone in the low post. With such a strong low post, there is no league team stronger than the Suns.
Of course, the hammer did not play today, but Yi and Yao have the ability to pull the basket, leaving a huge space for Ginobili's air cut.
Second, outside defense, the Hammers froze Nowitzki, the core of the Mavericks, and Tony Allen also had a good defensive effect on Josh Howard. "
Barkley nodded and said: "In the first few minutes of the game, the Mavericks adopted an unexpected tactic, using Nowitzki to hold the hammer on the outside, so that the hammer could not contribute on the defensive end. This is indeed a good move. tactics."
Kenny Smith said: "If the Mavericks can win the Suns today, this is a good tactic. If not, then it's nothing more than that. Competitive games are all about winning and losing. The winner is justified, and no matter how good the loser's tactics are, they won't win. Not a good tactic either."
Barkley said: "Now that the Hammers let Nowitzki go, the Mavericks can no longer let Nowitzki be a bystander. If they continue like that, then the Hammers, who are not far from the paint area, will definitely return to the paint area. The Mavericks will lose a Nowitzki offensive firepower for nothing."
