Chapter 166 Mutual Aiming at Defense Weak Points(2/2)
After hearing this, Kidd, who was dribbling the ball forward on the court, nodded to show his understanding.
Other Mavericks players ran to designated positions according to tactical requirements.
When Ji Buhan dribbled the ball to the three-point line, Nowitzki immediately stepped forward to set up a pick-and-roll.
After the pick-and-roll tactic was successful, Kidd immediately passed the ball to Nowitzki, allowing him to single out the Warriors' weakest defensive player.
When Curry saw this scene, he naturally knew what the Mavericks wanted to do.
"Damn it! Bullying a rookie like me is nothing!" the primary school student complained in his heart.
In order to win, Nowitzki did not show mercy and simply ignored Curry's defense and hit a mid-range jumper.
When Sun Yi saw the primary school students being bullied so badly, he immediately ran forward to make suggestions.
"Stephen, try to prevent Dirk from catching the ball or go around the screen in advance."
Curry nodded after hearing this and adopted Sun Yi's suggestion.
Immediately, he quickly ran to the baseline to catch the ball and advance.
The Warriors' attack this time still targeted the opponent's defensive weakness.
This time, Sun Yi played Terry in a mismatched position, which was considered a courtesy.
Sun Yi received the pass, directly pulled up, ignored Terry's interference, and hit a mid-range jumper, which indirectly caused a bad temper for the primary school student.
Looking back, the Mavericks continued to play pick-and-roll.
Curry followed Sun Yi's suggestion and went around the screen in advance, giving Kidd enough space to shoot.
Jibu Gong knew that his three-point shooting ability was unreliable, so he passed the ball without trying.
Butler received the pass, started quickly, broke through to the mid-range area on the right, and hit a pull-up jumper, showing his value.
Immediately afterwards, Ellis broke through and entered the inside with the ball, but Haywood interfered with the layup and failed to score.
The Mavericks protected the backcourt rebounds and launched a defensive counterattack.
Kidd made a long pass to find Terry on the fast break.
After Terry caught the ball, he quickly came to the three-point line and directly chased for a three-pointer.
At this moment, Sun Yi suddenly rushed out from Terry's side and waved his arm to hit the basketball that had just been shot.
Snap!
The rising basketball was shot out of the sideline by Sun Yi.
"Beautiful! Sun Yi arrived very timely and stopped the Mavericks' offense," Barkley explained.
On the court, the Mavericks sent a sideline ball, and Kidd received the ball and went outside the three-point line to reorganize the offense.
Other Mavericks players quickly set up off-ball screens to create mismatches.
The Warriors have two defensive weaknesses on the outside, making it very easy to cause mismatches.
In this round, Nowitzki faced Ellis out of position, and after receiving the ball, he jumped up and shot.
Ellis rushed to interfere, but to no avail.
A swish sound!
Hollow into the net!
On the Warriors bench, Nelson saw what was happening on the court and immediately replaced Laga Bell to improve the defense.
After the substitution adjustments, the effect was good, preventing the Mavericks from scoring easily.
Mavericks head coach Carlisle saw this situation and immediately made substitution adjustments.
He knows how to take date pills against the Warriors.
In the subsequent games, both sides increased their defensive intensity, making the game either a blacksmith or a blacksmith, making the fans drowsy.
At the end of the first quarter, the score on the big screen was 25-20, with the Warriors leading by 5 points.
The inter-section break is over and the second quarter begins.
The lineup sent by the Warriors is: Ellis, Morrow, Maggette, Sun Yi, Tolliver.
The lineup sent by the Mavericks is: Barea, Stevenson, Marion, Nowitzki, Dampier.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Mavericks took the lead.
Barea dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Seeing Dampier actively blocking the ball inside, he hesitated and passed the ball.
After catching the ball, Dampier stuck his butt back and hit Tolliver with his back.
But after pushing for a few times, he found that Tolliver's lower body was too stable and could not be pushed at all, so he could only turn around and use his height advantage to throw.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
Under the basket, Sun Yi easily grabbed the rebound, quickly dribbled toward the frontcourt, and launched a defensive counterattack.
In the transition period between offense and defense, Ellis received a pass from Sun Yi and hit a jumper against Barea's defense.
The Mavericks quickly sent a baseline pass. Barea dribbled to the outside of the three-point line and passed the ball to Nowitzki near the free throw line.
After receiving the ball, the German tank immediately raised the basketball high, fearing that Sun Yi would cut the ball.
On the other side, Dampier ran forward to provide an off-ball screen for Stevenson, feinting to attract the defense.
Marion understood this and suddenly broke away from Maggette's defense, quickly cut to the basket, received Nowitzki's pass, and flew for a layup.
Maggette was a little annoyed. He raised his hand to indicate that it was his fault, then picked up the basketball on the ground, quickly exited the baseline, and served the ball.
After receiving the ball, Sun Yi quickly sprinted forward.
The Mavericks were well prepared and retreated very quickly, preventing the Warriors from setting up a fast break.
Falling into a positional battle, Sun Yi came to the top of the arc and directed his teammates to move.
Under the command of Sun Yi, the Warriors adopted the "elevator door" tactic.
Morrow ran to the right side of the three-point line, received a pass from Sun Yi, and hit a three-pointer.
It was the Mavericks' turn to attack. With the help of Dampier's screen, Barea quickly rushed into the penalty area and scored a flying layup, recovering 2 points.
Looking back, the Warriors once again used the "elevator door" tactic.
This time Morrow missed a three-point shot and failed to continue his offensive firepower.
The Mavericks protected the rebound and launched a defensive counterattack.
Barea quickly dribbled forward, came outside the three-point line, made a forward change, shook Ellis away and rushed straight towards the basket.
Seeing this, Sun Yi let go of his defender and immediately rushed back to the basket to defend.
Barea came to the basket and saw no one guarding him, so he flew for a layup.
At the same time, Sun Yi jumped up and stretched out his arms to hit the rising basketball.
Snap!
Pinboard hat!
The rebounding basketball was snatched by Maggette who followed up. He immediately found Ellis and passed the ball over.
Ellis received the pass and started dribbling as fast as possible. After running across the half court, he saw an opportunity presented to his teammates and immediately passed the ball.
Morrow, who was on a fast break, received the pass. Seeing no one in front of him, he chased and shot a three-pointer without hesitation.
"Whoosh!"
The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!
On the Mavericks bench, head coach Carlisle had a headache when he saw the situation on the court.
Neither the starting lineup nor the rotation can beat the Warriors, so why should they win?!
Chapter completed!
