"Yo! Here we go! My 10th point, this shot was so resolute!" Zhang Lijia shouted.
"This kind of ultra-long three-pointer has become Chen Yan's signature. He can turn unconventional shots into regular offensive methods. Looking at the entire league, only Chen Yan can do this." Yu Jia said.
The Mavericks attacked and Nowitzki hit another fadeaway jumper.
17 to 15.
That's what a super scorer is like, once the touch starts, he can't stop it.
D'Antoni called a timeout, interrupted Nowitzki's hot touch, and at the same time replaced Nash on the court.
Barea played well in these two minutes, but Nash's role cannot be replaced by anyone.
Seeing Nash return, the home fans applauded.
The game restarts.
Nash didn't seem to be affected by the impact just now. He was still very agile in dribbling and his mind was very clear. When he was flanked after the pick-and-roll, Nash flicked his hands to find Chen Yan on the outside.
The Mavericks changed positions quickly, not only flanking the ball holder, but also adopting a flanking strategy for the receiver.
Chen Yan didn't stop the ball after receiving the ball, and quickly moved to the bottom corner, with a very wide field of vision!
No matter how fast the Mavericks rotate, as long as they use flanking tactics, there will definitely be holes in their defense.
Nowitzki was forced to guard out, and Grant Hill from the corner shot a three-pointer before he could reach his position.
"Clang!"
The chance was very good, but the ball didn't go in.
Kidd jumped slightly and picked up another board.
No one knows how Kidd, who was defending on the outside one second, rushed into the penalty area to grab a rebound the next second. As a point guard with the ceiling of rebounds, he has this magical ability.
Chen Yan also has this ability now, but he cannot rush back inside to grab rebounds like Kidd. Most of the time, Chen Yan has to be the first to rush through the half court and fight for fast break opportunities.
Nowitzki came up to help Kidd with a single block. Nowitzki used the pick-and-roll and quickly turned around and went down.
Nash quickly circled in front of Nowitzki to stop him from passing without the ball, and Diaw immediately pounced on Nowitzki's wing.
The Suns' idea is to give the ball carrier the ball from the outside after the pick-and-roll, but Nowitzki wants to use the pick-and-roll and then go down or stand at the free throw line to make a mid-range shot.
There is no way, King Nuo's shooting power is too powerful, and his hands are so hot now!
Kidd saw an opportunity outside the three-point line and took a decisive shot.
This ball was a bit outrageous, it hit the board and popped up.
Kidd is such a player. Sometimes he can score three-pointers, and sometimes he can make particularly outrageous shots.
Stoudemire protected the rebound and then gently passed it to Nash. After receiving the ball, Nash turned around and pushed forward. At the top of his own three-point line, Nash suddenly raised his hand and sent a long pass!
Chen Yan understood the idea and jumped into the air!
"Boom!!"
Grab the ball in the air and dunk with your back!
Chen Na connected, and the Suns played a classic fast break!
The whole place was boiling, and the scene was like pouring oil into a scalding hot pot.
"What? How did this dunk happen? The Mavericks players didn't react at all!" Kenny Smith said in surprise.
"Don't talk about the Mavericks players, the camera almost didn't react!" Barkley laughed.
"Nash's passing is so imaginative, and Chen's mobility cannot be described in words. I don't know how he can run upfield in the blink of an eye, and fly up in the blink of an eye." Ken
Ni-Smith said.
Buckley raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, Flying Chinese!
"time-out!"
This time it was Carlisle's turn to call timeout.
Carlisle replaced Kidd with Terry to further strengthen the team's offensive firepower.
Terry averaged 19.6 points per game this season, ranking second on the team. His position is not only the sixth man, but also an important firepower. To a certain extent, his role on the offensive end is second only to Dirk Nowitzki.
As soon as Terry came on the court, the Suns no longer dared to use a 2-1-2 zone defense. Terry was different from Kidd. If he was allowed to shoot three-pointers from the top of the arc, he would punish the opponent with a series of goals.
After the game restarted, the Mavericks accelerated the pace of chasing points. The defensive end still continued the previous strategy, using a large number of double-teams on Nash and Chen Yan. The difference was that Nash double-teamed Nash after picking and rolling, while Chen Yan attacked the defensive players as soon as they got the ball.
The package is here.
Stoudemire was underestimated. He was the only person in the Suns' troika who did not enjoy the double-team treatment. The Mavericks coaching staff analyzed it before the game. They felt that Stoudemire had not yet returned to his best condition, and there was no need to invest too much on the defensive end.
In terms of military strength, just focus on Nash and Chen Yan.
Facts have proved that this is also the case. Stoudemire went all out in the mid-to-long range in the first quarter and only relied on breakthroughs and free throws to score 4 points.
Many fans think that Stoudemire only injured his eye and his hands and feet were not damaged. How could he be so affected?
In fact, it is not that simple. Any injury to a professional player will have an impact on the overall performance. Besides, except for the retinal detachment, Stoudemire has not played in a formal game for several months. Once he comes back, it will be a high-intensity playoff game. This makes
He felt a little tired.
In the last few minutes of the first quarter, the Mavericks' firepower began to shift to the outside, with continuous foaming outside the three-point line.
The outside firepower of the Mavericks' lineup is no worse than that of the Suns, and they have the capital to compete with the Suns.
As for the Suns, they also like teams that open up and attack against themselves.
The Suns' firepower is as good as any team's. They are not afraid of their opponents throwing away their arms and attacking them, but they are afraid that their opponents will slow down their pace and grind against them.
Both sides attacked very fiercely in the first quarter, 33 to 29. It is not difficult to see this from the score.
"Chen Yan felt good in the first quarter and scored 14 points. He was the highest-scoring player on both sides. Nowitzki scored 11 points and felt very hot." During the inter-quarter break, Zhang Lili commented.
"In this game, both sides opened up to attack, especially in the second half of the first quarter, the pace was very fast. This is what they want to see." Yu Jia said with a smile.
He stood from the perspective of the fans. Compared with the victory or defeat, fans are more concerned about whether the game is good or not.
In the second quarter, both sides made extensive substitution adjustments.
The Suns sent Barea, Laga Bell, Azubuike, Barnes, and DeAndre Jordan.
The Mavericks sent Terry, Matt Carroll, Gerald Green, Antoine White and Dampier.
Dampier, the second center in the universe, is playing more important games. Dampier is a regular starter for the Mavericks, but he is not suitable to play in the game against the Suns. This is the same as Okur's situation.
In the first round, Terry used a double pick-and-roll and succeeded in a high-post jump shot. He was the core of the Mavericks' lineup and the offense, and all the players revolved around him. Terry had a high tactical status in the Mavericks, and Carlisle trusted him very much.
The Suns' play was a bit chaotic. Barea didn't care when he got the ball and rushed in. He is very lethal, but this style of play is easy to be targeted after the opponent finds out. Azubuike also looks like a useless player.
The head fly tries his best to kill inside.
Not only Barea, but Azubuike also held his breath. He felt that Terry had robbed him of the best sixth man. He wanted to prove himself through head-to-head confrontation. This is the normal competitiveness of professional players.
The reckless play of the two outsiders did not yield very good results. Instead, they were frequently counterattacked by the Mavericks. About three and a half minutes into the second quarter, the Mavericks took the lead.
D'Antoni was forced to call a timeout, and his tactical plan was disrupted and he had to replace the starter in advance.
