Six Hundred and Fifty-One. No. 1 Center!

Coach Hollins was surprised that the opponent was adding and changing tactics at any time.

The players on the court reacted differently.

Yao Ming made a shot at Sun Ce and shot one into Sun Ce's face. He laughed so happily and retreated quickly.

Looking at Yao Ming's smile, Sun Ce wanted to say to the referee: No technical foul for this?

As for the reason, it affects the image of the earth!

At this time, Gasol sent the ball out, and Sun Ce received the ball and slowly advanced.

The opponent made reasonable use of Yao Ming's low-post pick-and-roll ability, used Nowitzki as a top arc support point, and let Kidd pass the ball out, making them think that Nowitzki was going to play alone, but it was all for Yao Ming...

And it went very smoothly and fluently, and the tactics were played out very easily.

Sun Ce felt a little excited. With his current mentality, if he still played against Yao Ming who was still in the same team last season, he would not be motivated. In such a team with extremely distorted lineup, Yao Ming could still be selected in the second team several times. Compare the Yao Ming who can score easily now with the Yao Ming who could not catch the ball even when he was always digging in that team. Obviously, Yao Ming wasted the three years of his peak from 2006 to 2009.

However, playing against such Yao Ming made Sun Ce feel more excited.

Sun Ce pushed forward to the frontcourt. The opponent's defense, Yao Ming guarded the basket and did not follow him out, leaving Gasol open for a mid-range shot. Nowitzki followed Randolph out, but there was a tendency to expand the defense outside.

Blocking the basket, blocking three-pointers, and weak mid-range defense!

The Mavericks' defensive flaws are the same as always. Chandler, who can expand to defend the mid-range, has not yet played. The Mavericks' defensive flaws are infinitely magnified.

Sun Ce quickly came to the three-point line. Gasol did not ask for the ball and shot. When Sun Ce ran up, he tacitly moved up to the top arc. Sun Ce rushed to the top arc and changed direction to the right to accelerate. DeShawn Stevenson was about to move sideways when he was blocked by Gasol!

Sun Ce rushed to the right side of the free throw line. When Nowitzki rushed up to make up for the defense, he used the opponent's common lateral jump step, easily avoided it, and took a jump shot!

"Face-to-frame singles lateral jump step 2 trigger..."

This time he was lucky. Sun Ce ignored the impact of the lateral jump step on the jump, fully and stretched his strength, and hit a mid-range jump shot at a nearly 45-degree angle on the right!

Sun Ce and Gasol played a simple little cooperation on this ball very well!

Sun Ce did not expect Gasol and Randolph's mid-range shots now.

It would be touching if these two could get their shots back after the All-Star Weekend.

Nowitzki guessed that he would make a mid-range shot and rushed over in advance, which was also very targeted. However, due to the presence of Conley and Battier, Kidd and Marion could not make up for it, and it was easy for Sun Ce to play Nowitzki who was defending.

In the first round of offense, Sun Ce and Yao Ming each scored a goal, which kicked off the game.

Although Sun Ce was not defended, the Mavericks' lineup was originally an offensive basketball, so they just had to continue attacking.

With Nowitzki as the central axis, three outside lines running, cutting, and off-ball pick-and-roll, and Yao Ming as the first scoring point, the offensive firepower of the Mavericks lineup was extremely strong!

After the game started, the Mavericks quickly took the initiative.

The tactics were played very well, and the offensive end felt unsolvable.

It was not the Spurs' brand-new system and sudden change of play that made the opponent unable to think of a way to deal with it for a year or two.

The Mavericks' lineup is strong in stability!

When Kidd controls the tactics and Nowitzki is the starting point of the offense, DeShawn Stevenson and Marion, two wings who can cut and shoot, run tactics for Yao Ming and create opportunities for Yao Ming...

What is the first center in 20 minutes?

It's Yao Ming!

He scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in half a quarter, and blocked Randolph who grabbed the offensive rebound!

The Mavericks switched tactics a lot, none of which were new tactics, but some very common tactics, Princeton's mismatched play, the Lakers' singles players high post back power forward empty cut + three-pointer pick-and-roll around the baseline, and even... Coach Hollins on the sidelines also saw the running of his team's high and low positions!

In the lineup stage, Coach Carlisle directly used Nowitzki as a role player, and Yao Ming's role was infinitely magnified.

This is the strongest center in the league in singles!

Although Yao Ming does not have the physical strength of Nowitzki who can occasionally last for 40 minutes at his age, in these 20 minutes, he is the first center in the Mavericks system!

The Grizzlies basically relied on Sun Ce's mid-range shots and Randolph's offensive rebounds.

Yao Ming just didn't come out, even though Sun Ce made 3 of 5 shots at the start. Randolph couldn't play singles in the low post. He could grab offensive rebounds, but his secondary attack efficiency was not high. One of the three offensive rebounds was blocked, one was interfered, and only one was scored.

The Mavericks' high-speed rotation defense on the outside line is famous for its strong performance. Kidd, DeShawn Stevenson, and Marion blocked three-pointers very fiercely. The Grizzlies had almost no three-point opportunities.

Sun Ce shot from mid-range, so he had fewer free throws, but Yao Ming was standing under the basket, and James, Rose, and Westbrook were looking for blocks! The scene of Rondo being blocked by Howard was just seen a few hours ago.

In addition to Sun Ce's 6 points and Randolph's two points, in the more than 6 minutes, the Grizzlies only had Conley, who cut in, and made one of two free throws after being fouled. In half a quarter, the Grizzlies only scored 9 points!

On the Mavericks side, not only Yao Ming scored 8 points, but also Nowitzki's mid-range shot, DeShawn Stevenson's layup, and Kidd's assist for Yao Ming's three-pointer. The Mavericks scored 15 points in half a quarter!

It was steady! Stable as hell!

Compared to Sun Ce, it was the first time he saw Yao Ming play like this, and the first time he played against Yao Ming in this style. Yao Ming himself had played more than a dozen games.

Yao Ming played very comfortably in this style... It would be strange if he was not comfortable. Let Nowitzki, Marion, and DeShawn Stevenson play as role players, let Kidd organize the offense, and everyone would play well.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies had obvious offensive flaws, and the two big men had problems shooting for various reasons, and fell behind by 6 points in half a quarter!

Coach Hollins began to make substitutions, and the strength of the opponent's lineup exceeded expectations.

But it's not that there is no chance, their chance is to rotate the lineup.

The Mavericks are not invincible at this stage, and Coach Hollins is very sure of this. Otherwise, the Mavericks would not have only 8 wins and 3 losses during this period. The Spurs played one more game and won 12 games.

After arranging the defense, Coach Hollins replaced Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Randolph, and Jordan.

As Coach Hollins guessed, Kidd, DeShawn Stevenson, and Yao Ming on the opposite side were all out!
