An hour before the game, the Mavericks players were making the final preparations for the game.

Cuban arrived at the locker room at this time.

His appearance did not cause much sensation.

After all, it is different from the bosses of other teams who don’t see each other. He runs to the locker room every now and then.

He looked a little excited.

"Guys, champion, we will definitely win this year!"

That kind of crazy poisonous milk manifestation is like a fanatical fan.

When Sun Hao got up, he thought... Forget it, you are the boss and you are the biggest.

After saying these words, Cuban then announced something that he had prepared a private gift for the team members.

As long as the team wins a good start tonight, he will go to the locker room to personally distribute it.

Hearing this, Sun Hao felt that Cuban's poisonous milk was not a big deal.

Speaking of which, Cuban bought planes and provided them with personal trainers before, which was very generous.

But those things end up with the Mavericks.

This time, Cuban gave private gifts to the team members, and it was also mysterious, which is very exciting.

"I want to boost morale like that, but I'm not the boss."

When Cuban left, Old Nelson made a rare joke.

The team members were all amused, and Old Nelson rarely joked like this in the locker room.

But he may also be using this method to relieve the pressure on the players.

Being favored is a good thing, but if you bear too much pressure because of being favored, it will be a bad thing.

...

"Do you still remember the one-on-one thing with Steve when you arrived in Dallas for a trial?"

Nowitzki suddenly spoke as he walked out of the player's passage.

Sun Hao nodded.

How can you forget it?

At that time, Nash gave away the heads and directly asked Old Nelson to say something like "I want you".

Nash loves assists, who says no?

"Actually, at that time, I asked Steve to let you."

"Ahem..."

Sun Hao coughed dryly. Dirk, what are you doing!

"Although that proved to be redundant later, Steve couldn't defend you."

Sun Hao nodded, saying that was almost the same.

"So Steve can't defend you tonight, so don't show mercy."

I'll wipe it!

Sun Hao didn't understand why Nowitzki said this at first. It turned out that he was afraid that his subordinates would show mercy!

However, Dirk, your brotherhood is too real!

...

National Route Center Arena.

There was a blue ocean on site.

The playoffs are coming, and it is another annual carnival moment.

In fact, the NBA playoffs are similar to the NCAA’s “March Crazy”, and they are both moments when they get results after a hard season.

Whether it is a player or a fan, they will enter a state of extreme excitement.

Cuban appeared behind the bench as usual, at the front row of the audience.

This boss is so special.

In the commentary seat, Kenny Smith and Steve Cole were also ready.

For Smith, the Mavericks' game is destined to be special, as his partner Barkley is now a member of the Mavericks.

The players on both sides entered the venue one after another, and the fans on the scene also began to feel excited.

However, before starting to warm up, many team members on both sides were greeting each other.

After all, the two teams made a big deal in the summer.

Nash and Wang Zhizhi were both part of the Mavericks last season.

The same goes for Danpier. He has been with the Warriors since the second year of his rookie season and has been there for a full five years.

After saying hello, the opening ceremony was followed by the scene, and the starters on both sides were also released one after another.

Like in the regular season, neither side has adjusted the starting lineup.

The Warriors, Nash, Arenas, Richardson, Jamison, and Murphy.

On the Mavericks' side, Sun Hao, Bale, Bodyloga, Nowitzki, and Danpier.

Danpier turned the ball back to the Mavericks' half and officially kicked off the game.

After the first attack, Nowitzki took advantage of Danpier's cover to catch the ball and make a mid-range jump shot.

Well, he is more accustomed to this offensive method than Johnson lets him play the fifth position.

"Swish!"

The basketball fell into the mesh bag silky.

Nowitzki's shooting this season has reached another level and has followed Bird.

The Warriors did not show any weakness when they turned around. With the same tactic, Arenas took advantage of the cover and took a three-pointer after receiving Nash's pass.

"Swish!"

The same hand rises and the knife falls!

The two teams showed a completely different style from the East as soon as the opening game, to be precise, to be precise, the other group series!

Generally speaking, when the defensive intensity increases in the playoffs, the scores of the game will decrease.

Especially at the opening stage, both sides have abundant physical fitness and high defensive strength, and they both compete for each other to defend.

But now these two teams show signs of scoring at the beginning.

And soon, this sign became momentum.

Body Loga's sudden score, Sun Hao's three-pointer after pick-and-roll... made another shot!

Nash's fake pass through the breakthrough deceived Danpier, and the high throwing shot also made the board!

Although Nash was still the Steve who I love to pass the ball during the All-Star Game.

But in fact, Nash joined the Warriors, especially after D'Antoni became an assistant coach, he became the absolute dominant player of the ball.

His assists are rising, and his shots are much more than when he was on the Mavericks.

Both sides soon entered a battle of attacks.

And as they played, the fans discovered that the Warriors' offensive method was too special.

Basically, in one round, you can play one or two pick-and-roll cooperation, and you can take action in a few seconds.

It feels like the ball is very hot.

But the Warriors can still throw the ball in.

However, Sun Hao, a time traveler, is very familiar with this attack method.

Although he was just an NCAA coach in his previous life, he still knew the offensive method of a star coach like D'Antoni.

V-shaped fast attack, and 7-second attack.

The V-shaped fast attack refers to the offensive formation in the fast attack, which is actually a variant of the third-line fast attack.

The only difference is that the players on both wings are fast and fast, and they must be faster than the players who are pushing with the ball, thus forming a shape similar to "v".

The so-called 7-second attack, as the name suggests, means that the attack time will not exceed 7 seconds.

Some people may ask that under the defensive intensity of the NBA, there is often no attack opportunity in 7 seconds.

This is indeed the case, which is why D'Antoni prefers Nash so much.

Because of Nash, he can always pass a lot of creative passes.

Those passes are not only accurate, but also deceptive.

For example, Nash rushed to the inside and dodged a layup, and the opponent saw it and his defense contracted.

But he never thought that Nash passed the ball to his teammates again when he was falling.

In this way, teammates who had not made a mobile phone were also given a mobile phone.

But even so, 7-second offense is often a strong shot against defense, which is why the Warriors' current offensive fluctuations are so large.

But tonight, the Warriors players feel and are in good shape, and they are obviously at that upper limit.

After the first quarter, the score on the field was 35 to 30, with the Mavericks leading the way.

In this score, both sides must head towards a pace of 120+.

In the bench connection, the two teams continued to score on the court.

On the Warriors, Wang Zhizhi's passion for internal and external lines also caused regret for Dallas fans.

Wang Zhizhi's strength has improved significantly after the confrontation has increased. It would be great if he stayed in Dallas to play a substitute for Nowitzki.

However, the Mavericks' offense is not weak.

Among the Mavericks' Big Three, there is no need to say much about Nowitzki and Sun Hao, but Bodyloga looks at the data not that dazzling.

But if you ask Old Nelson, his emphasis on Bodilloga is no less than Nowitzki and Sun Hao.

Because Body Loga is so versatile!

Basically, he is a concatenator in the starting stage.

But old Nelson would usually be the first to replace him.

Because when it comes to the substitute connection, Old Nelson still wants him to lead the team!

At this time, Body Loga was the core of the offensive on the court, and he changed from a concatenator to a scoring machine!

This is how the Mavericks play in the regular season, and the same goes for the playoffs.

And the Warriors are really not on defense.

After halftime, the Mavericks scored as much as 60 points!

Nowitzki scored 20 points in half.

However, the Warriors were not much better than that, and they scored 55 points in the first half.

The Mavericks' defense is poor?

Not!

The Warriors felt so good in this game that they had already thrown 9 three-pointers in the first half alone.

After halftime, both sides entered the break.

Old Nelson studied tactics in the office, and Johnson arrived at his office.

"Let's take Dampier down."

Johnson made a suggestion.

His proposal was not unreasonable.

The Warriors felt too hot tonight, and with a 7-second offense and a V-shaped fast attack, they kept playing fast, and Danpier had limited roles on the court.

Instead of being beaten passively like this, it would be better to be the head coach with Nowitzki as the No. 5 position.

This will not only help the team to retreat faster.

Most importantly, this tactic was effective when playing against the Nets before.

After thinking about it, Old Nelson... refused.

On the one hand, the Warriors Troy Murphy is a bit special. Although he is a space inside, he is very good at getting a ball. He can't tell anything when facing Dampier. If he faces Nowitzki... the style will definitely be the same as the match against O'Neal Jr., very abstract;

On the other hand, he has always considered it. He cannot only consider the present, he has to look further.

In the current ranking, they will face the Lakers in the second round, and then Danpier's role will become extremely huge.

If he ruined Dampier in the first round and was in a state in the second round, it would be more than worth the loss.

This is the main reason why he abandoned Johnson's set after he came back in the regular season.

Johnson's face was not particularly good. He was a very strong person. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the coach version of Kobe.

It's just that the opposite is Old Nelson, and he hasn't been in the coaching staff for a long time, so he can't say anything.

"But your words remind me that we will play 3-2 in the second half and play more role in Dampier's defensive end."

Old Nelson saw Johnson's expression and continued.

In fact, I could feel that Old Nelson was irritable and big, but he was still quite careful.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so busy in the league.

Well, NBA version of Zhang Fei.

Johnson nodded, Old Nelson was giving him a step.

And it is indeed right to do so.

The Warriors made a three-pointer, so they could force them to go down the basket, which is also a good target for 7-second offense.

After halftime, the game continues.

The Warriors attacked first, and Nash found that the Mavericks had switched to defense when he arrived in the frontcourt.

He called Murphy to pick-and-roll and broke into the inside, but couldn't find a suitable opportunity, so he missed Danpier's move.

Danpier's deterrence in the inside is still great enough.

More importantly, the Mavericks are not defending the joint defense.

When Nash held the ball from outside the three-point line, he encountered a 3-2 joint defense to prevent the Warriors from shooting head-on.

But after he rushed in, the joint defense quickly changed to human-to-peer control, staring at all points on the outside.

In this way, it is equivalent to forcing Nash to attack individually.

Of course, there will definitely be sacrifices to do this. Originally, one of the big purpose of 3-2 joint defense was to fast attack.

Now it's equivalent to giving up directly.

But only with giving can you gain. After Danpier received this defensive rebound, the Mavericks' defense was successful!

However, Sun Hao pushed the ball to the frontcourt, and then he found that the Warriors' defensive formation had also changed.

They defended a 2-3 joint defense!

The Mavericks are not the only ones who adjust the midfield!

Moreover, the Warriors' adjustment is also very targeted, which is obviously to limit Nowitzki.

This is reasonable, Nowitzki scored 20 points in the first half.

But Sun Hao was happy.

The Warriors' adjustment is giving him a chance!

He glanced at Nash in front of him, and what Nowitzki said to him before the game seemed to ring in his ears again.

"Don't show mercy!"

Well, my dear Steve, I'm sorry!

Thinking of this, Sun Hao broke through and forced Nash to retreat after the cross step, and then took the step back.

Nash...he's gone.

You are still the same as before, and you can't take any more care.

Sun Hao adjusted for a while before taking action.

"Swish!"

Basketball entered the frame steadily.

Comfortable.

The Warriors did not respond.

They didn't have much expectations for defense.

The midfield defensive adjustment is more like a routine: Nowitzki plays well, so I will shrink the defense.

Their energy is all focused on the offensive end.

Nash made a prediction in advance this time and divided the ball towards Richardson in the bottom corner.

Any joint defense has weaknesses. 3-2 joint defense is the best way to prevent three-pointers, but the two bottom corners are weaknesses.

"Swish!"

Richardson hit a three-pointer!

The dunk king is not only capable of deductions, but also a good three-pointer!

This Warriors team has a lot of offensive talent!

Looking back, Sun Hao continued to play Nash alone.

This time, Nash's pounce was very reliable, and Sun Hao accelerated and cleaned him up.

And at the moment he passed, Sun Hao suddenly felt a little moved.

To be honest, Nash's defense is really eye-catching.

While in the Mavericks, he helped wipe a lot of his butts.

But the Warriors seem to have no function. After he passed Nash, there was no one in front of him except Murphy at the basket.

As he walked, a silky throw was thrown.

"Swish!"

The sound of the ball entering seemed like a beautiful melody.

At this moment, he had a feeling he had never felt before.
Chapter completed!
