On May 4, the Mavericks' second game at home ended, and the home court was silent.

The Mavericks lost the game 94-107.

Qin Yang got 42 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds, but the team didn't play well, Seth Curry was 1 of 7, Calderon was 2 of 6, and Cosby was 1 of 4.

As for the others, the efficiency is also so-so.

In addition to Qin Yang, the most stable performance of the team is Al Jefferson.

Other people are wavering, Al Jefferson is not going to wave, Al Jefferson wants to win like crazy, he has lost so long in other teams, he has won so many honors this season, he is very happy, and he doesn't want to lose.

It's a pity that Qin Yang and Al Jefferson played no role.

The Nuggets played well as a team and successfully suppressed the Mavericks.

The Mavericks' tactics are very simple, defend Qin Yang and Nowitzki alone, and don't give anyone else a chance.

The Mavericks' lineup seems to be very strong, but the play of the outside offensive lineup relies too much on Qin Yang to attract defense, and when the Nuggets change their tactics, their teammates can't open it.

Qin Yang was super efficient, tired from playing, and scored 42 points, but it was useless.

At the end of this game, the atmosphere of the Mavericks was a little stagnant.

At the end of the game, Qin Yang spoke in the team:

"It's not a bad thing for us to draw 1-1 now, at least it's better than playing like this in the final, tomorrow the coach will have a tactical drill in the team, don't go out to play, rest early."

Qin Yang didn't reprimand anything, but the meaning in his words was obvious.

If the team loses, it's not good for anyone.

The next day, a tired Coach Rick Carlisle began to lay out his tactics.

The Nuggets are afraid that the Mavericks' offense will blossom in full bloom, so they will choose to let Qin Yang play alone, even if it doesn't matter how many points he scores.

In this case, Coach Carlisle's tactics are more targeted.

More cover, Qin Yang plays without the ball.

Qin Yang singles, in fact, is very tired.

After forty minutes of playing in a game, the efficiency began to decrease, and when he tried to recover the score at the end of the last game, Qin Yang hit the iron twice, and the Mavericks were gone.

This situation cannot be repeated.

The most effective way is to let Qin Yang play without the ball, attract defense, and shoot easily, if the opponent does not wrap the clip, then Qin Yang will not waste his physical strength at all, if the opponent wraps the clip, teammates can get a chance.

Most of the current superstars who lose by high scores are not good at playing without the ball, which is why.

To fight such tactics, the problem is still very big.

For example, in order to reduce mistakes, the personnel responsible for attacking with the ball must be reliable, and the passing and cutting coordination must be appropriate, otherwise if there are continuous mistakes, the tactics will be completely messed up.

……

May 7th.

The Mavericks play the Nuggets on the road.

Denver is a difficult road game in the NBA because of the high altitude here, and most people will be a little uncomfortable here, which will become more obvious in the playoffs.

The game started and the jump ball was still won by the Nuggets.

Darko took a shot from mid-range and scored the first goal.

The Mavericks attacked, and after Qin Yang got the ball, he passed directly to Cosby, and then made a cover for Cosby himself. Cosby broke through, met the help defense, and passed to Vince Carter, who broke through with the ball and passed to Marion for a layup.

After this process, Qin Yang continued to cover, run, and attract defense in the half.

The Nuggets' defense was a little messy in an instant.

It's right to defend Qin Yang alone, but the meaning of single defense is to consume Qin Yang's physical strength, and at the same time make it impossible for the rest of the Mavericks to score, otherwise the single defense will be useless.

Iguodala was a little confused, and after covering, he directly switched to Cosby.

Qin Yang was defended by others, and it seemed that the Nuggets' tactics were not wrong, but the Mavericks found an opportunity to attack.

The Nuggets attacked, and Gallinari played iron under Qin Yang's defense.

Marion got the rebound and passed to Qin Yang, who slowly dribbled across the half court and passed to Vince Carter, who held the ball and attacked. Al Jefferson made a cover, and finally Carter passed back to Al Jefferson, and Al Jefferson Gao Wei singled with his back and passed to Qin Yang who was empty cut.

Qin Yang took the ball, the rhythm suddenly changed, and he easily scored a layup after passing.

With off-ball tactics, as long as you are not careful, it is easy to find opportunities to score.

Iguodala has to be distracted on the offensive end, and it is impossible to match the whole court, and Gallinari's defense is more than a step behind.

Qin Yang didn't expend much effort and scored.

Tactical success.

The Nuggets also played well, but in the sixth minute, after Qin Yang received a pass and hit a three-pointer, George Karl called a timeout.

The margin has widened to 7 points.

It's not because of the strength of the players, it's because of the tactics.

In modern basketball, with the strength of players and the more average and the increasingly perfect rules of basketball, although the individual ability of players is still very important, the tactical role has been called an important reason for the team's victory.

The Heat team is so powerful, and the Big Three are at their peak.

But what's the matter.

Encountering the Mavericks, still powerless.

This is because when the Heat encounter a joint defense, there is no shooter on the outside and it is easy to be limited.

Basketball, in the final analysis, is a game of how many shots are made, and ultimately depends on the shooting percentage and compares the score.

Tactical restraint, the probability of victory will be infinitely increased.

George Karl is also a coach, otherwise he would not have been recognized by the Nuggets' uniform team and players, and the Mavericks' tactical adjustments would not have been hidden from him.

After calling a timeout, George Karl began to change tactics and make substitutions.

"Iguodala, you start to defend Bruce, don't give him a chance, Darko pays attention to the inside defense, and the others don't miss people."

George Karl replaces Gallinari, but the big tactics don't change.

There is no way, the characteristics of the players dictate that the tactics can only be played like this.

If you don't follow Qin Yang, the ghost knows what will happen next, and after running easily, you will catch the ball and hit it, and the Nuggets will be beaten.

With Qin Yang, I don't know if others will stand up and score.

Anyway, no tactics are perfect, and the east wall can only be demolished to make up the west wall.

There are no changes to the Mavericks tactics.

But the rest of the game in the first quarter was very anxious.

George Carr's adjustment is very good, not giving Qin Yang a chance to play like this, even if it is without the ball, it will put pressure on Qin Yang, but in this way, the Nuggets' tactics succeeded, but the strategy failed.

Qin Yang ran without the ball and attracted the defense.

Teammates stepped up.

The last game played the average Casby, Vince Carter, began to break out.

The Nuggets kept falling behind in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Nowitzki and Al Jefferson were on the court and formed the strongest interior offensive combination, with Cory Breuer on the outside and Francesco Garcia on the outside. The Mavericks pulled the score away again.

After halftime, the Mavericks led by 18 points.

There is no suspense about winning.

The score was 2-1.
