Chapter 534: Al Jefferson in Force

Thackeray laughed silly when he heard the news.

Al Jefferson immediately showed sullenness and whispered, "Why am I not a starter?" I was the best performer and the starter should be mine. ”

Al Jefferson's displeasure is undisguised.

Qin Yang gave him a blank look and patted his shoulder:

'You're going to get a lot of playing time, but you have to pay attention to your defense, it's okay to defend badly, but if you don't defend well, you're never going to start.'

As soon as Qin Yang spoke, Al Jefferson was silent.

Thackeray, who was originally excited next to him, also lowered his profile a lot, and this starter made many people angry.

Coach Rick Carlisle called Thackeray alone, and whispered: "Your task on the court is very simple, cover Dirk and Qin Yang, be ready to dunk and grab rebounds at any time, and I will replace you in about five minutes in the first quarter." ”

Thackeray was not dissatisfied, but nodded gratefully.

When Qin Yang said that he wanted to sign Thackeray, everyone didn't understand.

But at Cuban's behest, Donnie Nelson signed a one-year contract with a base salary. Anyway, it doesn't affect anything, and the team lineup is still vacant.

There is no need to leave a bad impression on Qin Yang because of this.

But when Thackeray did join the team, the benefits were apparent.

Although it is a new team, the atmosphere inside the team is very good, and I don't feel bored at all. Thackeray is the key to this.

Although Al Jefferson had an opinion, he never gave Thackeray a cold eye, nor did he quarrel in the locker room.

That's the most magical thing about Thackeray.

The competition has officially begun.

The Mavericks are a combination of offense and defense, and the team likes to attack from the outside, combining inside and outside. The team's head coach, Rick Carlisle, has a deep understanding of attack and defence, and there are dozens of different tactics when the team is in practice.

Tactically, Rick Carlisle doesn't have to be worse than coach Van Gundy.

Maybe Coach Carlisle is a little bit worse defensively, but he is better offensively.

And the team's defensive coach is Devin Casey, a defensive coach who has been recognized by the league in recent seasons, and some teams even want to hire him as head coach.

Defensively, it's not a problem at all.

As soon as the game began, the Eagles' Al Horford jumped the ball and Thackeray was clearly no match.

The Mavericks also expected it.

The Eagles attack.

From the beginning, the Eagles' offense was very chaotic, and the starting point guard Jeff Tiger was obviously suppressed by Qin Yang very badly, and he had no power to fight back in front of Qin Yang.

After the ball was passed to Millsap, Millsap singled and shot with Nowitzki on his shoulder.

Nowitzki's defense wasn't that bad, and the shot was naturally iron.

Millsap is a free agent this offseason, the Jazz have not opted to continue to sign, and other teams have not offered big contracts.

In addition to Millsap's injury, the biggest reason for this is Millsap's own shortcomings.

Millsap is similar to Al Jefferson at the power forward position, although he shocked everyone with 40+20 data in the playoffs, but the flaw is the flaw and cannot be repaired.

There are few players who can compensate for the shortcomings with their skills, and since the beginning of basketball, there have been few people who have been able to do it.

Millsap is no exception.

Last season, Millsap's stats dropped sharply and his average efficiency per game was very low, and he finally chose to sign with the Hawks.

Thackeray diligently slotted the basketball out of the basket.

Qin Yang reached out and got the rebound.

The Mavericks attacked, Qin Yang dribbled on the outside, Thackeray made a cover directly after halftime, and Qin Yang moved to the right side.

Jeff Tig chased after Qin Yang, and Kyle Cavour next to him also assisted.

Instant two-person wrap-up.

But Qin Yang didn't panic, and glanced at Nowitzki who was running in place, and the two instantly moved in the direction of the pass between Qin Yang and Nowitzki.

The next moment, Qin Yang made a three-point shot.

Fast!

Sou!

Basketball seems to carry the wind and easily enter the net.

Jeff Tig and Kyle Cavour looked confused, and the people who threw the ball were flustered, and they didn't pounce on it, and they didn't pounce on it.

Next to Nowitzki the position is very good, and the two can't afford not to defend the pass.

On the first ball, the Eagles' defense was a little confused.

The Mavericks cheered at home.

Cuban, who was sitting in the first row of the fan base, stood up directly at the sight of the ball, waving his arms, and was very happy.

The Eagles attack.

Al Horford leaned on Thackeray on the inside and hit a difficult hook shot.

Al Horford plays center, which is surprising.

In fact, Al Horford, although he is still heavy, is better at playing the power forward position because Horford's various skills are perfect.

Playing center, obviously a little uncomfortable.

Thackeray defended very tightly, but his talent was average and he didn't defend it.

The Mavericks attacked, Qin Yang dribbled behind his back and broke through directly.

Kyle Korver assisted in defense, Qin Yang passed the ball directly, and Nowitzki's position at the three-point line was directly empty.

Sou!

Nowitzki shot and hit with ease.

Hitting the ball, Nowitzki was a little confused.

When defending, they were all slow and were hit by Millsap.

Turning around, Qin Yang broke through lightly, and in the face of Carroll's defense, the rhythm suddenly changed, and he easily broke through to the basket.

Nowitzki was in the high post and Millsap was in the opposite position.

Al Horford assisted in defending Qin Yang on the inside, Qin Yang did not rush to end the offense, and threw the basketball over the basket after clearly shaking off the space.

Thackeray jumped up and grabbed the basketball for a dunk.

It's obvious to feed the!

Thackeray, who started the game, scored, and the Eagles were embarrassed.

Millsap wanted to score, but still hit the iron.

The Hawks have no one to take care of, and Al Horford is not good at this, not domineering enough, and he doesn't dare to speak out when facing problems.

Obviously suitable for playing power forward, there are no complaints when he is forced to play center.

Come to a newcomer, dare to be the boss, this game is too difficult to play.

The Mavericks attacked, Qin Yang played very easily and freely, and Nowitzki was on the other side, naturally attracting defense.

There was no one else on the inside except for Al Horford.

As long as you break through the basket, it's an easy scoring opportunity.

Marion and Carter on the outside can also attract defense, Qin Yang attacked while passing, the Eagles couldn't stop it at all, and were pressed to the ground by Qin Yang and beaten.

Seven minutes into the game, the Mavericks called a timeout with the lead in the lead.

Thackeray was replaced, Marion was replaced, and Al Jefferson and Cosby were replaced.

As soon as this lineup appeared, it was even easier to dismiss.

After Qin Yang passed the half, he played slowly and attacked the position. Directly drop the ball to Al Jefferson, Al Jefferson card position requirements, it is very simple to hit Horford, after being beaten, he turned directly to the basket, Horford was stuck by Jefferson with power, and he couldn't let go at all.

Misplaced to attack Millsap, Al Jefferson started to face again.

Al Jefferson's face frame is also a must, and the mid-cast is extremely accurate.

This kind of flexible dead fat man is the most difficult kind of player to deal with.
