Bradley and Lao Wang jumped the ball with a bamboo pole as high as 229 centimeters, and the Suns attacked.
Taking advantage of his huge mobility, Wang Tiejun quickly bypassed Bradley and rushed to the basket. Nowitzki could only come over to make up for it, but his speed was also not as fast as Lao Wang. He was changed direction by Lao Wang and was bypassed.
passed.
"not good!"
On the sidelines, Nelson shouted at the top of his lungs: "Lock Nash!"
But it was too late. Nash had just pushed past the center line and saw Old K rushing through the penalty area. The Mavericks' two big insiders were behind him. He shouted, pushed with one hand, and passed the ball from bottom to top.
The pass was so fast and sudden, and almost in a straight line, that Marbury didn't react.
When Lao Wang crossed the free throw line, he was paying attention behind him. At this time, he jumped into the air, grabbed the ball with his right hand, landed again, and smashed the ball into the basket with a bang.
"Damn it!"
"Shet!"
A chorus of curses immediately erupted from the audience.
Cuban, who was sitting on the sidelines, stood up and shouted toward the court: "Come on! We are going to kill the Suns! Kill old K!"
"Our interior defense is terrible. Didn't Old K stop following us? Why can we still run and jump like this?" an on-site commentator said depressingly.
"The team should trade a strong center. Hey, Mark, this is your responsibility." After another commentator gave his own advice, he shouted to Cuban.

There was a lot of activity on the sidelines just now. Cuban, who was about to sit down, made an OK gesture to the commentary box, causing a round of applause from the audience.
The Mavericks attacked, and Nowitzki found that Old K was following him. When he met Old K's fierce eyes, his scalp felt numb.
It was Van Gundy's suggestion to let Lao Wang defend the Germans, because the Germans were a great threat and their three-pointers were very accurate. Tom Gugliotta had no defense and couldn't be defended, so Lao Wang had to defend them.
The Mavericks' bamboo poles are average in strength. Although they have height under the basket, they are far less threatening than the Germans.
Nowitzki ran to the right wing and suddenly pulled outside the three-point line, pulling Lao Wang out and creating a singles opportunity for Zhugan under the basket.
However, Marbury used his own strength to break the Mavericks' tactics and did not give him a chance to play singles. He wanted to beat Nash and prove to old K that he was the best and it was absolutely wrong to give up on him, so he directly shot a three-pointer.
.
"brush!"
He really hit the mark, and Marbury, who had succeeded, shouted excitedly to Lao Wang: "Did you see it, Lao K, the guy you're looking for has terrible defense."
Lao Wang was a little angry. What do you mean I am looking for the person? Did I look for him? It was little Colangelo who looked for him. If I wanted to look for him, I would look for that stinky glove.
Nash is also very embarrassed. It's not that he doesn't work hard on defense, but that he really has no defensive talent, because his defensive choices are wrong nine times out of ten. This is talent.
Sun attack.
Facing their mortal enemy the Mavericks, the Suns are not going to hone their tactics today and focus on winning. Therefore, the offense still relies on Lao Wang as the absolute core. Everything is left to him. As long as he is in position to get the ball, the ball must be moved.
Pass on the method.
Tom Gugliotta made a mid-range shot and pulled it to the right wing. Nowitzki stayed at the right midfielder in the paint area, maintaining the possibility of returning to the basket.
The bamboo pole defended Wang Tiejun, but his defense was just a show of cooperation.
Lao Wang pulled him out and then ran into the paint area. As soon as he came in and out, the bamboo pole disappeared.
Therefore, the Mavericks had only one tactic to defend Lao Wang today. Marbury locked up Nash and tried not to let the ball pass in. Nelson didn't expect the bamboo pole to be able to defend the No. 1 man in history.
But Nash on the offensive end is not Nash on the defensive end. If you want to lock down Nash on the offensive end, you must have Payton's defensive strength. Does Marbury have it? Of course not.
"Whoosh!"
When Lao Wang dropped the bamboo pole and cut inside, the sound of the pass breaking through the air sounded.
"Bang!"
The next moment, the giant beast took off into the air, and Lao Wang jumped up and completed an alley-oop dunk.
"I can do this style of play, boss, let me play."
On the bench, Stoudemire, waving a white towel, shouted excitedly.
"Come on! Don't forget that tonight is our night of revenge!"
Cuban stood up again to encourage the players. He also encouraged the Mavericks fans to cheer for the players. Two dunks were far from enough to dampen the Mavericks' morale. The morale was still very high.
"Bang!"
Looking back, Marbury forced Nash and then took another mid-range shot, but missed this time.
Wang protected the backcourt rebound, and the Suns immediately launched a fast break from the outside. Nash ran at the front, followed by Marion and Hardaway.
"hurry up!"
D'Antoni shouted while waving.
"Whoosh!"
Lao Wang waved with one hand, and the ball flew straight to Nash.
Nash caught the ball and took one step ahead of Marbury to reach the left wing three-point line. He suddenly stopped and when Marbury rushed over, he pushed with one hand with his right hand and the ball crossed the paint area and flew to the right wing.
"Bang!"
On the right wing, Marion caught the ball and sprinted into the paint, then flew up and slammed the Mavericks' basket with a one-handed tomahawk dunk.
"Damn it!"
Cuban jumped to his feet amid the curse, waving his fists and shouting at the players on the court: "Defense! Defense!"
Lao Wang stood under the basket and admired the fast breaks of the three outsiders. He felt that the small ball play was really good-looking and had its own advantages over the traditional play.
The small ball game was like a gorgeous sports car. The most famous small ball game at that time was the Lakers show time era led by Magic Johnson.
The traditional positional battle style is centered on the center, which is like a heavy truck. It is a contest of strength and muscle. In the history of the league, the Suns and Lakers led by him created the most terrifying intensity of confrontation in the traditional center era. Before the K Law was introduced
Before, he was a bone-crusher under the basket, and his 1990s could be called the pinnacle of the traditional center era.
He was used to the strict playing style of traditional centers in the past, but now that his speed has been greatly improved, he wanted to try the small ball style. This was one of the reasons why he agreed to let D'Antoni become the head coach.
.
In life, it doesn't matter if you fail, it's all about keeping trying.
It was also an attempt for him to leave his hometown and go to the United States to work illegally.
If he can show his abilities in different ways and use different playing styles to rule different eras, even if he is not an American, who can deny his status as the first man in history?
He dominated the 1990s with his traditional center style, and now he wants to try his hand at small ball play to dominate the 2000s.
However, the Suns' small-ball tactics probably still have a long way to go.
In particular, the small ball style he wants is a style that is both offensive and defensive, rather than one that gives up defense for the sake of offense.
If you want to create such a small ball lineup, you need suitable players. Now the Suns do not have this foundation. Up and down, that is, he and Marion are the most suitable.
Stoudemire is also a strong offensive and defensive player, but he has good speed and can also play fast breaks. If he is promoted to the starting lineup, all five of the Suns' starters will have the ability to play fast breaks. As long as the tactics are appropriate, they can attack quickly.
The end will form an offensive torrent.
6:3, Mavericks attack.
"Stephen, don't waste your shots!" Old Nelson roared in front of the Mavericks bench.
Next to him is Nelson Jr., a former assistant coach of the Suns and now the general manager of the Mavericks. Father and son teamed up to create a very good lineup for the Mavericks.
It is also because Colangelo Jr. and Nelson Jr. have always maintained a good relationship that the Suns were able to complete the Nash-Marbury deal with the Mavericks. Otherwise, other teams would be more likely to refuse in order to resist the public enemies of the league.
Marbury still held the ball and wanted to find an opportunity to hit it again. Nowitzki kept asking him for the ball, stretching his hand out, but he turned a blind eye.
"This bastard!"
Nelson Jr. regrets trading the Lone Wolf.
"Stephen, good job."
Lao Wang encouraged him happily and almost gave Blacksmith Ma a round of applause.
"Bang!"
Encouraged by Lao Wang, the courageous Marbury once again shot a three-pointer over Nash and hit the basket again.
"Damn it!"
Lao Ma shook his right hand hard. He knew that this was a problem with the touch, not Nash's defense. As long as he persisted, he could hit the next shot.
"Hurry up!"
Under D'Antoni's passionate urging, the Suns once again launched a fast break, with three perimeter players going at full speed.
"Whoosh!"
This time, Pharaoh passed the ball to Marion on the right wing, who had already left behind his defender and took off directly from the right waist of the paint area after receiving the ball.
"Bang!"
Another tomahawk dunk exploded into the Mavericks basket.
"Shh!"
The home fans angrily vented their dissatisfaction with boos, and the sky above the American Airlines Center felt like a hundred bombers were suddenly circling.
Cuban stood on the sidelines with a confused look on his face. He spread his hands and said it was difficult to understand why the powerful Mavericks were beaten by the Suns.
8:3, the Mavericks attacked and called a timeout after serving.
"Stephen, you are a point guard, not a shooting guard. You want to pass the ball. Do you hear the pass?"
Nelson's roar clearly conveyed his anger to Marbury. His coaching style was harsh, but it's a little better now. In the early days of coaching, his temper was very bad, and he often abused players who performed poorly.
So he often had conflicts with the players he coached.
Chris Webber, the No. 1 pick in 1993, gave up his contract and went to the Bullets after playing only one year with the Warriors. Why? One of the important reasons was the conflict with Nelson. He couldn't stand his temper.
"Nick, come on."
After yelling at Marbury, Nelson waved his hand, pushed Marbury on the bench, and called up backup point guard Nick Van Exel.
Coincidentally, crazy Van Exel suffered the same fate as Marbury. When Wang went to the Lakers, he was traded immediately. After a serious injury in the middle of last season, he was traded to the Mavericks. His current state is not as good as it was then.
, although he is only 31 years old, he has already entered the late stage of his career.
But a madman will remain a madman until he gets old. There is no cure for this disease at all. As soon as he came on the field, he would shoot after crossing the center line. He was old and injured and was out of shape. He threw three balls in a row and missed one.
Nash was extremely happy. His defensive efficiency was too high today. He prevented Marbury and Fan Fan from shooting 1-for-6 combined.
The Suns controlled the backcourt rebounds and took this opportunity to launch a series of quick counterattacks. Either Wang directly launched a fast break in the backcourt, or Nash organized a fast break and launched a six-to-zero attack wave, 14:3,
The score difference widened to 11 points.
His own players failed to live up to expectations and were beaten by their mortal enemies. The crazy American Airlines Center also lost some morale and the boos were weak.
Cuban stopped standing up. He was beaten three to fourteen at the beginning, and he really lost his temper.
Old Nelson was so angry that he glared at his son, "How can you, the general manager, find me a point guard who looks like this?"
Now he misses Nash a little. Although Nash is not good at positional warfare and has no defense, he does not waste shots!
He called a second timeout.
First, he replaced Zhugan and replaced him with substitute inside man Reeve LaFrentz, then replaced Madman Fan and replaced him with 37-year-old veteran Avery Johnson.
"Avery, you know what to do, try to cut off the connection between Nash and Old K, and also pay attention to their defensive counterattack. Most of their points today came from fast breaks in the counterattack, which is very powerful."
Old Nelson believed in the young general, who was now qualified to be a coach. He planned to invite him to be his assistant coach after he retired.
After the timeout, the Mavericks' situation improved. After Johnson came on the court, he immediately sent out assists and used a pick-and-roll to help Michael Finley get rid of Marion. Finley made a shot.
14:5, Suns attack.
"ball!"
In the low post on the left wing, Lao Wang is in position. LaFrentz moves forward to defend. He is holding up the defender and wants the ball with his back hand.
He did nothing today. He just cut twice and scored two goals. Then he grabbed three backcourt rebounds, initiated several fast breaks, and sent out several assists. He thought there would be a big battle, but he didn't expect the Mavericks' No. 1
With such a huge weakness, it now seems that trading Marbury is indeed the right thing to do to weaken the opponent to the greatest extent.
Using his speed and ability to combine man and ball, Nash quickly got rid of young general Johnson and passed the ball in.
"Bang!"
Lao Wang caught the ball with his backhand, turned around nimbly, swung his steps, and strode into the paint with a one-handed dunk.
He used to be a ferocious tiger, but now he is still a tiger, a little thinner at most, but with the agility and agility of a leopard, it is definitely not less difficult than before to defend against him.
"X, the lousy defense is worse than our Suns' defense. Is such a lousy team also a first-tier team?"
He glanced at Novi Dontzky, who was returning to the basket, and insulted the Mavericks in person. When he was returning to defense, he deliberately ran close to the sideline. When he passed by Cuban, he shouted: "Hey, Mr. Cuban
, do you want me to recommend a director to you? By the way, do you want it to be a comedy or a tragedy?"
"..."
Cuban looked at Old K running past melancholy and cursed in his heart.
"Crack!"
Looking back, Nowitz got rid of Lao Wang through the pick-and-roll, and finally caught the ball. When he made a jump shot, he was slapped with a big block by Lao Wang who forced him out of the pick-and-roll.
Coming to the low post in the frontcourt, Lao Wang went directly to the basket, and despite the early double-teaming of Nowitzki and LaFrentz, he still wanted the ball.
"Bang!"
In Nash's lob, he received the ball under the basket with his advantages of jumping and wingspan, squatted down when he landed, and then stood up and used the momentum to exert his strength. He made a fierce iron mountain back arch and knocked over Novi behind him.
Tsky finally turned sideways, knocked over LaFrentz and then completed a dunk.
Seeing Old K tumbling under his own basket, and the two big insiders falling at the feet of Old K, Cuban felt very powerless. He felt that there might be no hope of revenge that night, and he might be slaughtered again.
