The Mavericks' simple and rough style of play, relying on the strong singles ability of almost all players, is quite powerful.

The biggest advantage of this style of play is that it is simple. It leaves the opponent with only two choices, either to be beaten one-on-one. The Mavericks, with a group of top singles players, are too strong in one-on-one situations.

Otherwise, he will be double-teamed and then killed by the ball.

Although the Mavericks are last in the league in assists per game, after losing Nash, the highest assists are Michael Finley's 4.4 assists per game and Nowitzki's 3.5 assists per game. The entire team has no real organization.

The core and assists are almost all obtained by singles or counterattack passes, but they are effective and actually create the points after double-teaming.

When playing against the Mavericks, you really have to fight violence with violence. You win by scoring. Playing against a team like the Mavericks and playing a team offense doesn't seem to work!

Coach Kruger made this very clear after playing a team offense for half a quarter of the game.

If you want to defeat the Mavericks, it is very important to improve the efficiency of individual defense. Coach Kruger has studied the Lakers' upset victory over the Mavericks. Among them, the best defensive performance of the Lakers was to use Odom to limit Nowitzki.

, Odom is fast enough to guard guards, tall and heavy enough to guard the inside. Even though the Lakers' strength is very average this season, they can have an absolute advantage against the Mavericks. It is thanks to the strength of Kobe and Odom.

One attack and one defense!

Coach Kruger replaced Rasheed Wallace with Josh Smith, and used Josh Smith, whose physical fitness is similar to Odom's, to guard Nowitzki.

The defensive end has been adjusted. Coach Kruger does not plan to replace the other four people. The outside trio is the team's best defensive team. Kwame Brown's rebounds have skyrocketed, and the team's inside line can compete with Dampier.

, there are only Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace, but Rasheed Wallace is not good at rebounding, and it is not a day or two. Nowitzki has averaged 9.9 boards per game several times, and Rasheed

De Wallace's best rebounding year was when Sabonis returned to China and could not play in the NBA, averaging 8 rebounds per game.

The defensive end has been adjusted, but to win, you must first ensure your own success rate. Team offense is a good choice, but the Mavericks are characterized by strong team defense and quick defensive rotations, but alone

Defense is not that great.

Playing a team offense with the Mavericks feels a bit like giving up one's strengths to the last, and you don't have to be so rigid when dealing with different types of teams. This is the biggest advantage of Coach Kruger and Liu Mang working together for more than three years.

After the plan was made, Coach Kruger arranged the singles tactics, waved his hand, and four players came on the field.

…

It was such a tacit understanding that even if coach Kruger didn't arrange singles tactics, Liu Mang was ready to start singles when he came up.

What kind of team offense is needed to beat the Mavericks? Liu Mang is very sure about this matter. He has never seen the Suns' team offense so powerful that they were beaten by the Mavericks in the playoffs...Liu Mang thinks about it and it seems that others can't see it...

After the official timeout, the Hawks replaced Rasheed Wallace with Josh Smith. There were no substitutions in other positions, and there were no substitutions on the Mavericks. Junior general Johnson and Popovich are of the same origin. Popovich

To use Duncan to death, the young general Johnson used Nowitzki to death.

After receiving the serve, Liu Mang passed it to McGrady, then ran to the frontcourt, came to a 45-degree angle on the left side of the basket, and leaned on Harris to ask for the ball.

No more tactics?

The Mavericks didn't expect the Eagles to change so much. They changed from a high-speed team attack to a stationary singles attack. They played really unrestrainedly!

Harris was pressed behind Liu Mang and wanted to go around, but found that Liu Mang's legs were rooted to the ground and could not hold him up at all!

Originally, Liu Mang's weight was considered good for a point guard. With the natural increase in weight caused by strength training and age, he weighed 90 kilograms this season and had a strength rating of 80, and a strength rating of 84 kilograms and 75.

Harris can be called a heavyweight point guard in comparison.

Coupled with the iron kick skills that are close to the second level and are about to be completed, it is too difficult for Harris to push Liu Mang to stay still, let alone not being able to get started.

McGrady lobbed the ball to Liu Mang. Liu Mang caught the ball, turned sideways, and hit Harris.

Harris couldn't bear it at all and was forced to take a step back.

Liu Mang turned around and faced the basket completely. After taking a step forward with his right foot, he stepped back with his left foot and threw the ball in the air.

The movements this time were extremely smooth, just like the previous experiments during the official pause!

Liu Mang's outstretched right foot hindered Harris's attempt to pounce, and Liu Mang hit a fadeaway jumper!

Seeing Liu Mang's singles action, the fans at the scene began to exclaim, and then booed wildly.

This action is too provocative!

He actually learned the shooting moves of his opponent's superstar!

Liu Mang used a golden rooster at the beginning of the game, but the action was completely different. Even Nowitzki couldn't tell that it was his shooting action, let alone the fans. That attack was only regarded as Liu Mang's shot.

There is a problem with the selection.

But this time everyone saw it!

Liu Mang discovered a problem in the first half of the quarter. His face-up singles were mainly step-back jumpers and breakthroughs to cause damage. He felt that he should integrate this aspect and shoot directly face-to-face with Nowitzki. It was too stupid.

One point, would it be better to add other offensive methods, such as post-ups or step-backs, to the Golden Rooster independent jump shot?

Forget about retreating, you have already successfully retreated, you can just snipe away, why bother with Golden Rooster?

So he tried a high post. Liu Mang tried it and found it was pretty good, so he retreated immediately.

In fact, it's not that Liu Mang's independent jump shot is so good, but that Harris's defense is very poor. The Mavericks' worst defensive position has always been the point guard, otherwise they wouldn't be crazy about Kidd in the future.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the first half of the quarter, when Liu Mang observed Nowitzki's singles, he discovered that the Golden Rooster's independent jump shot had the same meaning as the sniper move, both of which were avoided with unconventional moves.

Defense, without the system skill bonus, is just a choice of shooting posture. It is not so magical. What is magical is Nowitzki's shooting ability!

Liu Mang's biggest gain is that he discovered a misunderstanding of his. Nowitzki's Golden Rooster is powerful independently, not because this move is invincible, but because Nowitzki's other face-up skills are great, which makes his move even more powerful.

sharp.

The great thing about Norvis's independent jump shot is not just the kick when shooting, but the previous three-threat stance, his breakthrough ability, shooting ability, judgment on defense and a series of other abilities combined together!

It's not the kind of shot where you hold the ball and jump back with one foot, but use other threats to make the shot better.

This is a test of comprehensive ability. Learning this is just another shooting action option for Liu Mang, just like the sniper shot.

In Liu Mang's opinion, if it weren't for the fact that his wingspan was much longer than that of an ordinary guard, the effect of this move would not be very good. It would be better to learn the fadeaway jumper. When the Golden Rooster independently encounters a monster with the wingspan of Prince, the effect will be

It won't be much better.

But it's always good to have one more trick that you can use. Whether you use it or not, it becomes more difficult to defend, which is always good. It's also good to use it in case you are cornered.

In transition, the Mavericks attack.

After Harris advanced to the frontcourt, Liu Mang did not wait for Harris to reach beyond the three-point line and pounced on him to steal. Unfortunately, Harris was very clear about his position as a rookie. Even if he was hit and killed, he would not challenge Liu Mang in a one-on-one.

He pounced and immediately passed the ball to Nowitzki outside the three-point line.

Josh Smith defended excitedly, wanting to follow what Mike Woodson said and use his physical fitness to defend Nowitzki's bounce.

Josh Smith was fast and able to jump. After receiving the ball, Nowitzki made a shooting motion. Josh Smith suddenly flew up. Nowitzki took the ball back and passed it from Josh-

Smith broke through from the right! He immediately left Josh Smith behind and easily broke into the basket.

Dampier's role was highlighted. He got entangled with Kwame Brown and blocked Kwame Brown's defense. Nowitzki rushed to the edge of the three-second zone and scored two points with a soft throw!

Sharp and concise breakthrough throw!

When the Hawks attacked, Liu Mang continued to play high post. Sure enough, the Mavericks' double attack came. Josh Howard came over and Liu Mang dumped the ball to the left corner.

"Ding... Pass Master Level 5 is triggered. The teammate who receives the pass from the host can shoot within 1 second. The overall shooting ability is 5."

After receiving the pass from Liu Mang, Prince made a three-pointer!

Although Liu Mang's awareness of organizing offense is average, his passing vision and accuracy are perfect, and when he passes the ball, his teammates' ability to catch and shoot the ball is 5!

20 square meters!

The Eagles tied the score!

However, Nowitzki immediately faced Josh Smith and successfully broke through to the inside. This time Kwame Brown blocked it first, but Nowitzki's passing ability was underestimated. He distributed the ball to

Dampier caught the ball and dunked to score two points.

Josh Smith did a good job of guarding Nowitzki's shots, but he couldn't guard Nowitzki's breakthrough!

He was easily broken through by Nowitzki twice in a row. Josh Smith defended Nowitzki, which made Liu Mang see another misunderstanding.

Rasheed Wallace couldn't guard Nowitzki, not because of Nowitzki's simple jump shot, but because he was afraid of Nowitzki's breakthrough!

Nowitzki is not just a pitcher, but a scorer with quite comprehensive offensive skills. In addition to the back-up play that has not yet been developed, his face-to-face singles skills may be more comprehensive than Duncan and Garnett!

It's not that Rasheed Wallace can't guard Nowitzki's shots like Josh Smith, but he can't just block the shots. After playing against Nowitzki so many times, Rasheed Wallace

I know Nowitzki so well.

Rasheed Wallace was able to prevent Nowitzki from breaking through and force Nowitzki to fall back sharply to shoot an independent jumper.

He was able to hit 2 of 3 even with wide fade-away three-pointers. It's not that Rasheed Wallace didn't defend well, it's just that the second king's shooting was too accurate.

But this also gave Liu Mang some new ideas!

During the transition between offense and defense, after Liu Mang received the serve, he did not pass the ball, but made a gesture and advanced to the frontcourt himself.

Seeing Liu Mang's gesture, McGrady and Prince pulled away again, and Josh Smith came out to help Liu Mang block Harris.

Harris has almost given up defense. He can't guard him in singles and has to play pick-and-roll! Is the guy on the opposite side still a human? He doesn't bully rookies like this, but the young general Johnson pays great attention to defense. Harris knows that his role is

His defensive rotation is fast, and basically no point guard can guard him alone. In order to keep his position, Harris is still very active in following Josh Smith after the pick-and-roll and runs inside, stopping Josh Smith directly.

Hit the basket.

Liu Mang faced Nowitzki in singles again!

Nowitzki blocked Liu Mang at the beginning, and completed his blocking task at the beginning. Now he is full of confidence! He wants to block Liu Mang again... Hey, why did you break through and stop shooting?
