Chapter 198
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Howard beat the Celtics to a good start in the eyes of everyone. Warcraft KO the old wolf king in the first battle, and at this time the peak battle between McGee and Nuo Tianwang also kicked off!
McGee appeared at the shooting guard position today, but the defensive lineup he faced was very high. Dampier and Josh Howard's unlimited double-teams, as long as McGee crossed the three-point line, he faced at least two double-teams , They are not trying to affect McGee's offensive role, but to ensure that McGee tries not to get the ball as much as possible, and even fouls when necessary.
Dampier and Josh Howard are completely used as consumables. What's more frightening is that they have no complaints yet. Carlisle is well trained.
Before the Spurs game, Kidd had just completed a mutual nausea with Bruce Bowen.
As a result, the two can be said to be rivals.
But after going through bloody battles, Kidd still performed well on the field. Of course, now Kidd's offensive ability has almost dropped to the lowest point in history. Got points.
But this kind of Kidd is even more difficult to deal with. Steven, the young wolf, was hanged and beaten by Kidd for military training when he started the war.
Kidd has too much experience, even if his body is no longer in peak condition, and even his strength may be half, but he still uses his strong experience to beat rookies in all directions.
The point guard was stuck to death by the opponent, which caused the Timberwolves to be unable to play tactics. They only scored 3 points in the first 2 minutes, so that McGee had to enter the field early and play more of a ball-handling role.
At this time, the targeted tactics of double-teaming showed its power.
Although the Mavericks were basically completely lost by Randolph due to the high defensive power invested in McGee and Steven's back line, but overall, the Mavericks are still superior.
There is no perfect tactic in the world, and any change is reciprocal. Today, the Mavericks' sacrifice tactic is very fierce.
After the first quarter, the Mavericks led the Timberwolves by 21 points 15 to 6. Among them, McGee's personal score was only a 3-point foul. Steven played 8 minutes, and all statistics were 0!
Whitman was trembling with anger, but considering Steven's annual salary, well, Kidd's basic salary as a veteran is ten times that of Steven's. From this point of view, it seems that the kid can't be blamed, but it's not. He, how to play the ball?
Coach Seat Whitman considered again and again, ready to replace Al Jefferson with Kevin Ollie.
McGee quickly stopped Whitman's brain-dead behavior. Whitman, I can't say that he has no advantages. In fact, he does a good job of training players and adjusting the team atmosphere. It can be said that he works hard. He can really be called an assistant or He is very suitable as the chief assistant, but as the head coach, Whitman lacks responsibility!
For example, Carlisle's fierce style of play on the opposite side would not dare to replace Whitman.
Because the Mavericks' tactics have only two basic results. Either they are super gods, Nuo Tianwang scored terrifying statistics and crushed the opponents, or they are super ghosts, and the life of being beaten by the Timberwolves cannot take care of themselves.
The occurrence of such an extreme situation is due to the serious imbalance between the offensive and defensive ends.
The elimination of every tactic always has its inadaptability, but the rise of every tactic also has its popularity.
McGee stopped Whitman's suicide and continued to fight without substitutions. He just told Steven that he could go to the Mavericks' basket if necessary!
Don't worry about the consequences!
McGee does not have as much pressure as Whitman. Now that the Timberwolves have passed the first round, this is a surprise. If they win, they should open champagne and get a bonus. Even if they are swept away, this year's Timberwolves will definitely not be ashamed.
Besides being swept in the second round, wouldn't the Eagles still be at the bottom?
McGee is not optimistic about the Eagles at all. Facing the little emperor who is full of firepower and gives up on himself, they can win a game as a spiritual victory.
In the second quarter, Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks took a short break and replaced Jason Terry and Brandon Bass on the field. Their salary space has exceeded the luxury tax standard. The reason is that there is no whole money, but there are a lot of middle-level banknotes and small change, and it is still changing!
Both Bass and Terry are offensively strong and defensively weak. Carlisle originally expected Steven to replace Livingston, and even Al Jefferson may be replaced on the bench, which means that the Timberwolves will strengthen a wave of outsiders. Support, give McGee more passers.
But when the Timberwolves lineup remains unchanged, the Mavericks will play very passively.
In the 2 minutes of the second quarter, Steven forced a two-pointer to hit the iron, but then Randolph grabbed the rebound ferociously and made a dunk!
Carlisle called a timeout, and very reluctantly replaced Terry who had just made 3-of-0 shots from the field. McGee was tall, healthy and fast, crushing Terry with almost all attributes.
When the offense cannot be opened, the Mavericks' defense becomes a colander.
Although Carlisle also knows that pitchers need self-confidence, if he replaces Terry without a goal, it will have a blow to morale, but he can't care less, the field is already 5-0, and the Timberwolves have to recover the disadvantage in 2 minutes , Carlisle can only stabilize the wave first, he has never looked down on the Timberwolves.
Although McGee is the only star in the small team, and McGee and Randolph are no more capable of playing, but the Timberwolves have a kind of vigor and a fearless spirit. lucky.
There is always a place where miracles are born in the NBA, but Carlisle doesn't want him to be the background board for miracles. He has had enough.
After the substitution, the Mavericks still had an extreme style of play. When Nuo Tianwang came back, he began to frequently hold the ball and work hard on the outside or mid-range shots. Anyway, he didn’t do the rebounding and low post that a power forward should do, except occasionally. Just wait for the defensive rebound, McGee is still uncomfortable being flanked, but he doesn't panic, because at this time McGee has already thought of a way to break the game.
Taking advantage of the tacit understanding with Steven, McGrady ran horizontally and handed over the ball when crossing with Steven.
Josh Howard and White, who had just come up, double-teamed. They were eroding McGee's space and trying to make him hit the iron even if he made a shot.
But... McGee suddenly pulled Josh's arm under Josh's desperate gaze during the collision.
It is the action of shooting from the inside of Josh's arm and forcing him to foul.
McGee used this trick when he first entered the league, but his physical fitness became more and more exaggerated and it was useless for a long time, but he was still proficient in business.
Forcing Josh to interfere, McGee shot a three-pointer, the referee blew his whistle, and made free throws X3, so McGee who stood on the free throw line also added 3 to his personal score.
Coach Carlisle of the Mavericks was so angry that he almost jumped up!
The old man who exploded went to the referee to protest, because as long as he was not blind, he could see that it was McGee who deliberately pulled the defender's hand to force him to foul.
Then Carlisle ate a T!
This time Carlisle didn't dare to brag anymore. This year is the Mavericks' break-in year. The old driver, Carlisle, and Kidd have all been all-powerful in the league. Well, Nowitzki is also in the first echelon now, but Carlisle and Kidd If you want to prove yourself, you have to hurry up, and the more this is the case, the less you can make mistakes.
Carlisle wouldn't bet against not having his own Mavericks who could withstand the pressure of the Timberwolves.
The second quarter was officially suspended, McGee scored 3 points on 0-of-12 shooting, and Carlisle was in a bad mood.
