Four Hundred and Eighth. The Opponent's Weakness Is Inside!

When Sun Ce propped his arms on his knees and bit the tip of his left thumb to think, the game started.

Haywood won the jump ball over Gasol and the Mavericks went first.

After Kidd advanced to the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Nowitzki, who was leaning on Battier in the middle distance on the left side of the free throw line to ask for the ball.

Kidd began to command his teammates to move, and he pulled himself to the right of the top arc. Marion cut in from a 45-degree angle from the left to circle the basket, and took away Randolph, who was likely to defend Nowitzki. DeShaun Shi Stevenson spaced the left corner, Haywood put Marion on the pick-and-roll at the rim...

Nowitzki got a very good singles opportunity, and Battier turned over a jumper from the high post...

Hit!

The tactics of the Mavericks have all changed!

Instead of launching a full-scale attack with Nowitzki as a threat point as before, it has become a single-pointer with Nowitzki!

Kidd is really a magical point guard. He can organize the offense in an orderly manner with the ball and without the ball. According to the opponent's defensive position, he directs his teammates to move, puts Nowitzki in an excellent singles position, and takes the initiative to help Nowitzki looks for opportunities to be flanked so that Nowitzki can rely on the vision brought by his height advantage to distribute the ball.

However, the Grizzlies trusted Battier's defense. Even if Nowitzki was in a situation where he might be flanked on the first attack, no one would flank him.

Then Nowitzki singles the ball in.

With just this one ball, it can be clearly seen that Nowitzki's state has recovered!

The technique has not changed much, and the shot is very confident!

Now it's troublesome!

Although I guessed it a long time ago, Nowitzki has broken the psychological barrier, but it still feels troublesome when it comes to the game.

Fortunately, today they were more optimistic than when Nowitzki broke out suddenly in the previous game. They couldn't defend alone, so they came from the offensive end.

Conley pressed the rhythm and advanced to the frontcourt, and discovered a strange thing...

Randolph arrived in the frontcourt and was going to go to the low post, but found that Heywood was guarding him! Gasol Jr. originally mentioned that the high position was ready to respond to the pass, but Nowitzki defended him.

Nowitzki has the height advantage of a traditional center and is much more flexible than a center.

The defensive end is responsible for guarding Gasol Jr., and Haywood guards Randolph.

So, Randolph opened up to the middle distance, playing Haywood is always a little more tiring than playing Nowitzki, and Gasol immediately entered the low post.

Conley lobbed the ball to Gasol Jr., and Gasol Jr. held high and made a throw!

Gasol seldom plays in the low post, his turning speed is not fast enough, and his explosive power is not enough. He only has pure strength, but he is enough to play Nowitzki. He uses his generous body to carry Nowitzki sideways, and raises the ball with the other hand to throw. , Nowitzki can't prevent it!

Nowitzki can still handle most of the inside, and he was very smart in defending Randolph before. He consciously turned Randolph to the bottom line to guide him, but Heywood lacked defensive awareness and did not know how to grasp Novis. Key led Randolph to the bottom line and did not pass the high vision when he turned to the bottom line. The contraction was always not timely, and Randolph easily scored.

Now that the defense is switched, Haywood can rely on his body to give Randolph some interference in confrontation, but when he returns to the basket, Nowitzki really can't stop Gasol's low post.

In the next round of offense, Nowitzki played another post-up single. This time he didn't make a shot. Unlike before, he didn't dare to make a shot. It was purely a bad shot, but he shot very decisively.

Gasol started the game with two consecutive high-flying throws on Nowitzki's head.

The closer to the basket, the easier it is to score. No matter how accurate the outside shooting is, it will not change this point. Even the Warriors in the future will use role players to cut as the main scoring method. No matter how accurate the outside tsunami combination is, the Warriors The team also scored 13 three-pointers in one game, accounting for only one-third of the team's total points.

Gasol went to low singles, forcing the Mavericks to make only two choices, Haywood switched back, or Haywood went to flank.

In short, there is no way to avoid the fact that the center cannot defend the three-second zone.

The Grizzlies are trying their best to take advantage of the opponent's defensive weaknesses.

Even if the opponent's offense is unpredictable, the defense can find weaknesses to target.

If Nowitzki plays well in offense, he can stay on the court for a long time, so the Mavericks' interior defense is relatively better, but it is only better than Tim Thomas and Chris Singleton, two defensive side effects. Some.

However, Nowitzki's turnaround jumper is no one. He started 4 consecutive singles and made 3 of 4 shots! Forcing the Grizzlies defense to a higher position, the Mavericks relied on Nowitzki's singles and Kidd's command, and did not fall into a disadvantage in the opening stage!

In the fourth minute of the first quarter, 13 to 11, the Grizzlies led by two points, and the Mavericks called a timeout.

Sun Ce was called by name and was about to play.

The Mavericks' style of play surprised Sun Ce. The Grizzlies' tactical meeting did not expect that the Mavericks actually played singles tactics!

Isn't this the singles tactics of the Johnson era?

It's just that with Kidd, the offensive movement is smoother!

In the starting stage, the positional battle and offensive confrontation... It's hard to imagine that the game was played by the Grizzlies, but that's it for today!

As far as the starting stage alone is concerned, Sun Ce feels that his side still maintains a slight advantage.

Although Battier can't lock Nowitzki like before, but it can always give interference. Nowitzki hardly has face-up singles, because face-up singles really can't deal with Battier's defense.

Back then, he was defended by Stephen Jackson out of psychological barriers, and he was actually defended. In the era when Nowitzki could only play face-up singles, Stephen Jackson, McGrady, Battier and others defended very well. For example, in 2005, the Rockets 2 In the lead up to 0, it was McGrady who defended Nowitzki. Even if Nowitzki broke out in the last two games, Nowitzki only shot 35% of the entire series.

However, as long as Nowitzki has no psychological barriers and dares to shoot, there is no solution for post-up singles!

Coach Hollins has arranged the defense. On the offensive end, Coach Hollins' tactical ability is barely top-notch, and the defense is really good. The impregnable defense that he and assistant coach Jogel built for the Grizzlies starter is not a joke.

When deploying defensive tactics, predict that the opponent will replace with a better offensive lineup.

As for the Grizzlies' own offense, it is up to Sun Ce to organize it.

After the start of the game, Sun Ce saw that the opponent's inside defense was weak, and he kept struggling...

Now, I decided to use it!

With a thought, the system screen popped up.

"The host uses the Russell Westbrook 2009-2010 version of the star experience card..."
