It was the Mavericks' turn to attack. Nash advanced with the ball and came to a 45-degree angle on the left side of the basket. The person guarding Nash was Dean Grove.

LaFrentz on the inside gave Nowitzki a pick-and-roll, and Nowitzki used LaFrentz's off-ball pick-and-roll to get to the free throw line, facing Ratliff.

Nowitzki has a huge speed advantage over Ratliff, and Nowitzki is the best offensively among all power forwards in the league. He completely attracted the Eagles' defensive attention, and Rahim focused his defensive attention here.

side.

However, Nash did not pass the ball. He moved to the right. When he went around the top arc, Nowitzki took a step inside the three-point line to block Dean Grove. Nash took advantage of the situation and reached the three-point line from a 60-degree angle on the right.

.

At this time, the defense became Ratliff defending Nash, and Dean Grove defending Nowitzki.

These were two perfect big mismatches! Raheem pounced directly on Nowitzki at the top of the arc. Nowitzki was the most feared point in the Eagles' pre-game tactical arrangement!

The 24-year-old Nowitzki was selected for the All-Star Game for the first time this season. He was already a third-team player last season and is one of the popular contenders for the first-team this year. Only Garnett and Duncan can compare with him, averaging 23 points per game.

10 rebounds, 3 assists, and only one block, but he averaged more than 1 steal and block per game. He is very active in defense, especially his offense. Don't look at the average points per game, but you have to look at the scores of his teammates.

How amazing each one is. He averaged only 16 shots per game, and his 48% field goal percentage and 40% three-point shooting percentage were very impressive for a shooter-type player.

Nowitzki faced Dean Grove in the top arc, attracting the Hawks' perimeter defender Raheem.

At this time, Nash faced Ratliff and accelerated a step to completely attract Ratliff, and then passed to the right baseline.

Lead people with the ball!

Finley rushed in, received the ball, took off and smashed the ball into the basket!

This combination was completed in just 3 seconds!

High efficiency, smooth coordination, and gorgeous play style.

The reason why Nelson's game is so good to watch lies in this aspect.

The Eagles have seen what a true team offense is this time!

In comparison, the Eagles' positional offense is like one star after another.

Nelson's team has always been aggressive offensively. Even though they averaged 105 points per game, they only ranked fourth, which was lower than the Kings (109 points), the Lakers (107 points), and the Eagles (106 points). In terms of offense alone, they are really no better than these three teams.

The team is poor and the tactics are too fancy.

Liu Mang's eyes lit up when he saw it. Sometimes, when he saw a tactic, he would immediately understand that it was what it was. But when he saw it, he couldn't figure it out before, so it turns out that this can be done to prevent the attack!

No, Liu Mang glanced at Coach Kruger next to him, then took a small notebook and started recording new moves.

Regarding this, Liu Mang said he would like to give our rookie coach a thumbs up. Learning makes people improve.

The Mavericks' offense is complicated, but the Eagles' offense is simple.

Dean Grove just hit Nash, but Nash couldn't bear it due to Dean Grove's strong body, so he took the risk to steal the ball and ended up out of position, so Griffin and Nash switched defenses.

So, this time Jason Terry held the ball.

Jason Terry is too simple and rough than Dean Grove, and he continuously changes the direction of dribbling under the crotch...

Sometimes the harder you work, the sadder it becomes, just like how Lakers fans love Vujacic so much. They worked really hard on defense, and then were pushed behind by Jason Terry, who easily hit a two-pointer.

No matter how good the Mavericks' overall defense is, the Hawks will only take advantage of Nash.

Before getting Kidd, the Mavericks had always had a good record but were far away from the championship. It was because the defense at point guard was as bad as it was. Nowitzki was already in need of someone to wipe his butt. As a result, they had a poor record for several years in a row.

The point guards are Nash, Jason Terry, Devin Harris...

But when it comes to the Mavericks' offense, the Eagles don't have much to do. The Mavericks' offense has changed too much!

Because Nash's passing was too strong, Dean Grove began to block the defense desperately, and the effect was not bad, forcing Nash to give the ball to Finley before half-court was passed, and then Finley dribbled to the center.

Rahim turned over and hit a jump shot from a distance.

As one of the first-generation Jordan successors, Finley is known as the player who most resembles Jordan. He mainly jumps high, has a high shooting point, and his back-up skills have become more and more sophisticated after 2000. His movements are very similar to Jordan's.

With top-notch jumping and staying in the air, his turnaround jump shot is just like Jordan's. It feels as stable as leaning against a wall in the air. Raheem is five or six centimeters taller than him, but there is no way to interfere with it.

After a small show of team play, the Mavericks decisively started a frenzy of singles, with team boss Finley as the main player, Nowitzki as the assistant, Nash being the third player honestly, and occasionally the Hawks' attention.

Only when Finley and Nowitzki are attracted away can he organize a wave of team offense.

Not only that, Nash, who is a defensive black hole, was completely targeted by the Eagles today.

…

Halfway through the first quarter, the efficiency of both teams was frighteningly high!

The Hawks are originally a strong team that ranks among the top in the league in both offense and defense. It may be because they play more Eastern Conference teams that their offensive and defensive numbers have been improved, but with such a performance, they are definitely not bad at strength, and they have caught the Mavericks' defensive loopholes.

After that, the game became more prosperous and the success rate was extremely high.

The same goes for the Mavericks. The players' personal abilities are so outstanding. The credit for this is largely due to Nowitzki's rookie contract bonus. He is still in the last year of his rookie contract, so the Mavericks have enough money to recruit so many players.

Strong player.

However, Nowitzki will get a big contract next season, so the Mavericks will give up Juwan Howard, who will have a salary of 23 million next season.

In half a quarter, less than seven minutes, the Hawks and the Mavericks scored an astonishing 21 to 19. The Hawks shot 71% from the field, while the Mavericks shot 68%, both of which were incredibly high.

People smack their tongues!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The key is that the two teams played so smoothly!

There are very few foul errors. The Mavericks are one of the teams with the fewest turnovers per game in the league, averaging only 12 turnovers per game.

The Hawks make too many turnovers, averaging close to 15 per game, but the Mavericks are also one of the teams that forces their opponents to make the least turnovers. They don't like pressing defense and prefer to use their teams.

The game was very civilized and harmonious, so both teams made almost no mistakes in the first quarter, which is why they performed so efficiently.

When the official timeout came, the game was almost uninterrupted, and Liu Mang was ready to play.

Liu Mang was excited today. On the one hand, he saw King Silver Horn, but the most important thing was to confront Nash immediately.

Although Nash doesn't have many opportunities to perform, doesn't control the ball much, and is a pure shooter most of the time, but the occasional glimpse of his offensive organization is really amazing!

While Liu Mang was regularly trying his hand at shooting in his own half, he asked the system: "System boss, how about Nash's personal ability?"

"Ding... Steve Nash: Limited state, ability value 85, offense 91, defense 61, three-pointer 87, mid-range shot 86, layup 88, speed 92, strength 68, endurance 96, ball control 95, passing

Ball 79…”

Pass 79, that’s right!

"Nash's current passing ability is only 79. He may have better passing ability, but he can only show 79."

Well, I watched Nash catch and shoot most of the time in the first quarter, or Finley and Nowitzki attracted double-teams and then passed him the second pass to get assists. This is really the case. In many cases, the only thing Nash can show off is

Passing accuracy.

Liu Mang takes a look at the following average data...

Liu Mang took one look and decisively closed the system panel.

You are paralyzed!

51 field goal percentage, 45 three-point shooting percentage, 91 free throw percentage, 180 club.

Averaged 17 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists per game.

Is there a mistake? Do you want to be so strong? Is this still a restricted state?

To be honest, Liu Mang seemed to have seen an all-around enhanced version of his own data!

Liu Mang himself averaged 19.6 points, 2 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, shooting 48% from the field, 41% from the three-point range, and 83% from the free throw line.

Liu Mang and Nash took almost the same number of shots, and the number of free throws was almost twice that of Nash.

From a certain perspective, Liu Mang found that his current template really seemed to be Nash...

This seems to confirm that when Liu Mang first got the system, the system evaluated Nash as the most suitable star card for him among active players.

However, Liu Mang's defensive efficiency is much higher than Nash. Liu Mang's defensive efficiency ranks at the forefront among the league's main point guards, and Nash is almost at the bottom.

The Eagles are starting to prepare for a running fight. Since they can't defend themselves, let's dispatch the cavalry company!

The Mavericks replaced Nash, Finley, second-year small forward Donnell Harvey with the 22nd pick in the first round, Nowitzki and...Wang Zhizhi!

Liu Mang was a little excited when he saw Wang Zhizhi play. This was the first time that NBA players played against each other in the NBA as a fixed rotation lineup!

However, there was not much reaction at the scene. Liu Mang's appearance attracted some boos. Regarding the match between two Chinese players, before the league promoted the China Derby, there was really nothing worth talking about in the United States.

…

But among domestic fans, especially the older generation of fans, this is the top priority for domestic basketball!

The live broadcast on the Imperial TV station is now switched back to the live broadcast room.

"Wang Zhizhi is in! Ace is in! Chinese Derby! Two Chinese players meet in the world's highest level basketball league. Let's see what guidance Wang Zhizhi, as a senior, will give to Ace..."

The football commentary is really full of passion. Director Zhang and Yao Ming next to me are so embarrassed. These guys really don’t understand football...

Fortunately, during the previous game, Director Zhang handed a note to the director, and Sun Zhengping's microphone was accidentally switched off. Sun Zhengping lost his voice while talking. Only then did he realize that something was wrong and quickly shut up.

Director Zhang cleared his throat: "Dayao, tell me, you will probably be a member of the NBA next season. This is the first time you will truly see two Chinese players playing against each other in regular time in the NBA."

Yao Ming finally no longer has to hear Sun Zhengping's voice and is immersed in the commentary. The young Yao Ming is still a little excited: "I have watched Ace's game. He is very strong, even in the NBA. He is the best player in the NBA."
