Chapter 393 [Team building is too extreme, the battle is white-hot]
The Wizards' two small interior lines have become the key to the team's score lead, Marshall can keep up with Nowitzki without losing his position, Wallace does not have to follow Nahula, and can retreat to the restricted area at any time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the offensive end, the Wizards players grabbed the rebound and counterattacked, unable to make a quick shot and then fall into position, covering the running position and looking for opportunities.
Barkley analyzed: "Jerry Young doesn't seem to be going to use a center anymore, the front court is full of swing people, this situation has never been seen before, and he is the only NBA coach who dares to do this." ”
Smith lamented: "Whether the Wizards win today or not, this is going to be a game that will go down in history." This season, Jerry Young has shown the most incredible coaching, and his on-the-spot adaptation and tactics are completely out of the ordinary. No one guessed that the Wizards would make it to the Finals and compete with the Mavericks for the title. ”
Nelson's changes were also targeted, with Nowitzki playing center, Nahura continuing to play, and Lafrenz sitting on the bench for a full section.
Lafrentz's offense relies too much on shooting, and there is basically no low-post offensive skills, and the old Nelson knows that if he plays, he can't play Marshall in the low post, so he simply increases Nahula's playing time and strengthens the defense.
Nelson Sr., who has always been an offense-oriented player, will also reuse Nahura, which is enough to show his value. He averaged 21 minutes per game and averaged 6.1 points and 4 rebounds per game.
Margeti was targeted by Nahura and didn't score a point in the second quarter.
Margeti mainly relies on his body to play, Nahura is known for playing uneventful, and the height of the No. 3 position often defends the opponent's most ferocious interior line, and he has a slight advantage against swingmen like Margeti.
In the second half, the Mavericks relied on the strongest offensive lineup to chase the difference back.
Nelson Sr. arranged extreme tactics, and Nash and Van Exel formed a two-guard and could shoot suddenly.
Jordan also suffered a loss in his single defense of Nowitzki, who singled with the ball, turned around to shoot, blocked and then caught the ball and scored a jumper, and Yang Rui was forced to replace Jordan and replace Gerald Wallace with him to strengthen the interference with the shot.
Nowitzki started passing, his teammates on the perimeter were able to score, and the Wizards' defense was at odds.
The Mavericks won on offense, and the league didn't have a complete defense. Yang Rui watched the game from the sidelines, secretly glad that the Mavericks center and shooting guard had weaknesses. If the Mavericks' No. 2 position is a 3-and-D player who can shoot, even if only one position in the bottom corner can shoot, the formation can pull the Mavericks and beat the Wizards.
Now although Nash and Van Exel can shoot three-pointers, they are colanders on the defensive end, and they can still withstand the offensive wizards by fighting for them, so as not to be beaten by a wave.
The Wizards fell behind 88-98 into the final quarter, and Yang Rui changed his tricks again.
After Nash went off the court, Yang Rui still sent a double guard of Tyrone Lue and Wesley, and used full-court pressing. The front three are Hamilton, Margeti, and Stoudamire, and Jordan continues to rest.
Van Axel is not a good point guard, focusing on individual offense, supplemented by organization, difficult to dribble to the frontcourt, and being surrounded near the penalty area, it is difficult to ensure scoring efficiency.
The ball was separated from the perimeter, and two very good shots from Lafrenz and Adrian missed the basket.
Grabbing the backcourt rebound, the Wizards immediately launched a counterattack, and the four went down quickly, and Margeti's physical advantage began to play. In positional battles, Hamilton and Stadameyer's covering combination can also create misaligned opportunities.
After an 8-0 run, the Wizards recovered the score, and Nelson Sr. called a timeout.
After the timeout, Nelson Sr. did not replace Van Exel, but replaced Nash to play double guard and fight offensively. The front three are Finley, Walter Williams, and Lafrentz.
The quick counterattack was also a big magic weapon for the Mavericks to win, with Lafrentz in charge of protecting the backcourt rebounding and passing, and the other four going down quickly. Walter made a cameo appearance in the No. 4 position, and the defense against Jordan will not be an obvious hole.
Nelson Sr. understood last season that the Mavericks' lineup was seriously lacking in defensive ability, and it was unwise to fight with the opponent one by one, and it was easier for them to win by bringing the rhythm up.
The effect of the adjustment was immediate, and as soon as Nash was on, the Wizards' full-court pressing didn't work.
Van Axel relied on Lafrenz to cover up to get rid of Tyrone Lue, receiving an assist and hitting a three-pointer, and Stadamire was slow to switch defenses.
Nash then broke through to attract the ball to Finley, who leaned on Hamilton and forced a layup to score.
Only 1 minute later, Yang Rui also asked for a timeout, never dragging his feet. He adjusted the lineup and sent Boozer, Jordan, and Bale. Replaced Tyrone Lue, Magetti, Stoudamire.
The purpose of the adjustment is to slow down, the Mavericks want to speed up the pace, and the Wizards have to slow down.
If the fast attack can't be played, Nash's strength will not be able to be fully played, and there is still some overlap with Van Exel's positions.
On the defensive end, the Wizards use joint defense, Boozer and Jordan stay on the bottom line, not a contracted 122 joint defense, except for Boozer's main defensive penalty area, the other four have to pounce out at any time to interfere with shooting.
The Wizards reduced the offensive efficiency of the Mavericks, and the positional battle on the offensive end also ensured the offensive firepower.
Jordan was in charge of the organization, Boozer covered his teammates and cut at any time, Hamilton and Wesley ran and Balle stood in the bottom right corner, and the Wizards' formation was completely stretched.
The team that the Mavericks are most afraid of in recent years is the Kings, and the two teams have no chance of winning. Because the Kings will constantly pull out the ball to respond to the pass, the guard runs from the wing and walks to the back door, and even if it is not an empty position, it is a small and big mismatch opportunity.
Boozer is misplaced to receive the ball in the low post and can go to the basket with his back to the basket.
Nelson Sr. did not replace Lafrenz in order to strengthen the defense in the penalty area, which turned out to be a mistake.
Barkley scoffed at Lafrentz. "The Nuggets were very wise to give him to the Mavericks, and he was a piece of trash, at least against teams that are good at running without the ball. He attacked again and again and shot on the periphery, couldn't score a few, couldn't defend people when he encountered blocking and dismantling, couldn't attack, couldn't defend, what did this person keep for? ”
Barkley's vision is quite vicious, and what he said is the truth, in Yang Rui's previous life, the Mavericks sent Lafrentz away next season.
However, the Mavericks management has exchanged for Celtics big forward Antoine Walker, who prefers outside shooting, and his ability to withdraw has been strengthened, but the defense is weaker than in the past, and the Mavericks don't even have a qualified meat shield center.
Later, in order to strengthen the interior defense, the Mavericks management gave up on Nash and poached the Warriors' blue-collar center Dampier.
The Mavericks can't win the championship, and the elder Nelson is directly responsible, and his way of building the team is too extreme.
No matter how much Yang Rui likes to attack, he will sign two blue-collar workers who can resist on the inside, and there must be blue-collar workers who can entangle people on the outside, even if he doesn't play most of the time, he must keep it for emergencies.
Nelson Sr. is different, he just likes attackers, and the main rotation players can shoot almost all of them, and he lacks blue collars. The only blue-collar players on the Mavericks are Nahura and Adrian, who are not top-notch.
The Wizards quickly recovered the score, but they couldn't gain an advantage, and the Mavericks' offense was sharp, and the Wizards couldn't completely defend it.
Jordan was slapped in the face today, he has always looked down on the Mavericks, and feels that the inside and outside are "soft eggs" who can't win the game as the core. As a result, when Nowitzki faced Jordan today, he relied on a soft-egg style offense to hit one by one.
In the last three minutes, Yang Rui asked for a timeout, and the score was 117-118, and the battle between the two sides entered a white heat.
