Chapter 723 [Discerning Eyes, Great Potential]

The Mavericks attacked, the Clippers were all marked, Nowitzki received the ball on the right side and singled out Parsons, Gao Fushuai VS the old driver.

Nowitzki held the ball and shook it, brought it to 45 degrees with his back to protect it, leaned on Parsons and turned to the middle, and the "Golden Rooster Independence" threw a backward jumper.

In the same move, Nowitzki lost his dominance from last season, and the ball bounced out of the frame under Parsons' hard interference, and Griffin grabbed the rebound.

Nowitzki was a big hither last season, shooting 50.2 percent from the field, 46 percent from three-point range and 93.3 percent from the free-throw line in the playoffs. But after experiencing a league shutdown and an injury at the start, he is currently shooting only 44.2% overall and 35% from three-point range, and is still finding his senses, averaging 20.8 points per game.

Nowitzki's shooting percentage is nothing remarkable, just an average star with average efficiency.

The Clippers attacked, Paul dribbled to the frontcourt and passed to Curry, who singled out Kidd, stepped back and missed a three-point jumper, and played very simply.

In the Mavericks' positional battle, Kidd brought to the frontcourt and passed to West, who and Nowitzki broke through on the right side, failed to pass Parsons by speed, and the right side was 50 degrees out of place, and the step-back jumper missed under interference, and the rebound was grabbed by Griffin.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Rockets' wing defense was always full of holes, and Parsons was also understood to be strong on offense and weak on defense. Now, though, the stats confirm that Parsons' defense is far underrated, and he doesn't have to worry about Harden with the Clippers.

According to the stats, Parsons averaged just 0.74 points per game when he played as the No. 4 defensive pick-and-roll defender, which is far more than the league average, while he only allowed opponents to shoot 38.2 percent from the field and was able to force opponents to 15 percent turnovers.

In addition, Parsons has a 31% defensive block on the defensive end, and he can't limit James, Durant and some other dangerous small forward scorers, and the defense power forward and guard break through a lot better. He has the height of a power forward and the speed at which he moves from the outside, somewhat similar to Carmelo Anthony.

Paul launched a fast break with a pass, Curry advanced to the front court with the ball, singled out Kidd, dribbled behind his back and turned to pass, and scored a layup. 4 to 0.

The Mavericks attacked, Gasol Jr. and West blocked and dismantled in the middle, Paul chased the defense in time, and West passed the ball to the middle.

Gasol Jr. didn't shoot after Griffin was dying, and the ball was hoisted to Nowitzki, who was in the middle of the box with his back to the ball, turned to the right and made a jumper, avoiding Parsons from close range. 4 to 2.

If Chandler played, Nowitzki would not have scored so easily, but Yang Rui wanted to solve the problem with offense.

In the Clippers positional battle, Paul and Griffin played a pick-and-roll, attracting Nowitzki's defense and distributing the ball to Parsons 50 degrees on the right side.

It was obvious that the Clippers couldn't use the joint defense, and there was a misalignment on the court, and Gasol Jr. faced Parsons.

Gasol Jr.'s defense was relatively outside, and Parsons broke through the baseline after a false shake and successfully passed the basket in one step. Prince made a timely return to the basket and Parsons jumped up to get the ball into the hands of Korver in the bottom left corner.

Kidd, who was experienced, rotated to cover the bottom corner, and Korver moved the ball 70 degrees to the left.

At this time, Curry came out, caught the ball and made a three-point jumper, and hollowed into the net. 7 to 2.

The Mavericks still have the same defensive system, but they are not as strong as last season, and no matter how complete the system is, the execution of talent is the key.

Last season, the Mavericks went all the way and finally fulfilled the veterans' championship dreams. The Mavericks have Kidd in the high post on the outside, Prince and Marion on the wings, and Gasol Jr. on the inside. In addition, Stevenson's defense in the second position is fast and his strength is also good, as long as he does not encounter a perverted opponent, relying on a quick rotation change, the regional joint defense effect is very good.

Last year, the Mavericks went from coaching thinking to player tacit understanding, and it was an absolute historical team defensive model. This year, the Mavericks' single defense has deteriorated, but the Clippers' offensive end has been upgraded to an outside perverted quasi, and they are definitely not opponents.

The Mavericks attacked, and after blocking and dismantling, Gasol Jr. received a pass from West in the middle, his air cutting speed was too slow, and Griffin interfered with West and then had time to retreat to the top defense.

Gasol Jr. leaned his back against Griffin, turned to the right and hooked his hand, dodging the block but the ball was deflected.

He shoots 73.9 percent from the field, but rarely actually hits the basket, opting instead for high-arc throws or close-range jumpers because his low-post offense is neither flexible nor overwhelmingly powerful. His tonnage is only useful when he is against others, and he is one of the least explosive players in the league.

Curry grabbed the rebound and passed to Paul to play the position.

Paul went to the frontcourt to play Griffin to block and dismantle, and handed Parsons to play Gasol Jr. on the side, which was misplaced again.

Parsons swayed from the perimeter, luring Gasol Jr. out of the box and bursting the line on the right.

Gasol Jr. had a very good defensive awareness and relied on a good sense of distance to keep up on the side, but Parsons didn't just score, he passed the ball to Griffin, who cut through the middle. Griffin catches the ball deep into the basket, beats Nowitzki, and scores a cricket from close range. 9 to 2.

Nowitzki didn't lose his position, but after Griffin jumped, there weren't many players who could interfere with him, and he didn't dunk directly, which was already very face-saving.

The Mavericks attacked, Gasol Jr. received the ball in the middle after blocking and dismantling, Griffin switched to West this time and was far away, Gasol Jr. immediately jumped in the middle, did not hesitate, and hollowed into the net. 9 to 4.

The Clippers offense, or the same tactic, this time Parsons moved to the left side to receive the ball, Curry ran to the right bottom corner, and Gasol Jr. still stayed near the restricted area, which was even more seriously misplaced.

Paul split the ball, Curry ran to the right side 50 degrees to take the ball and dangled, Gasol Jr. was forced to defend and was passed by Curry in a change of direction.

Nowitzki stepped back to defend and Curry went to the basket to pass the ball from Nowitzki's waist to the middle, and Griffin jumped up and smashed the ball with both hands. 11 to 4.

Zhang Li said: "The Clippers are on the offensive lineup today, the players' organizational ability, three-point ability, and low-post strong offense are all lacking, and the big man on the Mavericks can't be defended, and there are loopholes everywhere." ”

Yu Jia said: "If the Clippers had Parsons last season, maybe it would be the Mavericks who were eliminated, he was too good. ”

A general once said: "Never ignore the role of the little people, sometimes history is changed by some unknown little people." "The one who can see the pearl and bet on the little people with great potential is the one who controls the future.

As long as Parsons is given the right system, he can be a second-rate star on the offensive end, so in Yang Rui's previous life, Nowitzki cut his salary to help the team make room for him, and poached Parsons as a teammate with a high salary.

The Mavericks attacked, Gasol Jr. took the ball in the middle after blocking and dismantling, Griffin defended it, and Gasol Jr. took a step close and hoisted the ball from Griffin's head into the inside. Nowitzki took the ball and turned to the left side to shoot a backward jumper and hit the board to score. 11 to 6.

Nowitzki's move has also been tried and tested, and no team in the league can completely defend it.

The Clippers attacked, and the Mavericks players spontaneously changed to man-to-man tactics on the court, and the opponent made consecutive shots outside the three-point line, and he could no longer defend together, and Gasol Jr. faced Griffin.

Paul also changed his style of play, stopped passing to Parsons, didn't find cover, waved Griffin into the low post to attract the defense, passed the ball to Curry from close range, and ran to the bottom right corner himself.

Curry received the ball from the left side to the center, and faced Kidd outside the three-point line, Kidd couldn't defend Curry last season, and now he is a year older, even worse.

The 39-year-old Kidd moves very slowly, allowing him to defend the defense, and he is defending the black hole.
