The Mavericks are a team that is weak offensively and defensively, and Green's scoring didn't bother them too much, and in turn, Nowitzki received a pass from Deron at the top of the arc and hit a solid jumper.

The old driver is not old.

The Clippers' offense is still creating opportunities for Green, but this time the passer was replaced by Tang Shuai, who received Tang Shuai's ground-hitting pass after breaking through, and successfully caused Pachuria's defensive foul on the layup, and went to the free throw line to hit two free throws steadily.

As a result, the Clippers scored in the opening two rounds, and both came from Green, who scored four points in the opening game, which is very different from the two points in the last game.

Carlisle, one of the league's top coaches, quickly recognized the Clippers' offensive intent and deliberately began to defend Green.

With the help of the help defense, Green's two attempts were in vain, and there was even a low-level mistake when the pass was returned, on the other hand, the Mavericks, after Barria started instead of Matthews, it had an unexpected effect on the offensive end, and the fast break after the two blocks and pick-and-rolls were successful layups.

4-8, 2 minutes into the opening game, the Clippers trailed the Mavericks instead.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, Cassel immediately called a timeout.

"Don, you wait a while to fall into a low position and force Jose and beat him down." Cassel is still very coaching, and he saw through the defensive weakness of the Mavericks at once.

After the pause, the Clippers' offense, Tang Shuai fell to the low post, and the others opened up space and directly gave a chance to play alone.

Tang Shuai knew that the Mavericks' assistance defense was very fast, so after forming a single opportunity, he pressed it in as soon as possible.

Although Barria is very short, he is only 1.83 meters like Paul. But a player with a lot of strength, although the purple power package is the weak one, it is not too easy for Tang Shuai to top him.

Tang Shuai saw Pachuria's help defense come out after two tops, he turned around directly, made a gesture to shoot, and smashed the ball to the inside of the bottom line at the moment when Pachulia was about to block.

"Bang". The basketball hit a little inside the baseline, and then bounced off and flew towards Jordan Jr. on the other side.

A nice ground-hitting pass.

Little Jordan was about to go over, but before he got up, he saw the basketball bounce towards him, and he braked suddenly, and picked up the ball and slammed the dunk with both hands.

Pulling out the mountains and rivers, the basket directly pressed down two centimeters.

After the dunk, little Jordan turned around and gave Tang Shuai an excited high-five.

Carlisle, on the sidelines, dragged his chin in thought.

In the last meeting, Tang Shuai's passing ability was still very average, but he could pass such a delicate ball in the blink of an eye, and the improvement was great. It's a coach who can't help but drool, really speaking, the Mavericks almost selected Tang Shuai at the beginning, but the result was a little bit worse, and now the result is that you can only look at Bai Envy.

The Mavericks' offense was defended, and in turn, Tang Shuai fell low and played Barria.

With the last ball, Carlisle immediately waved on the sidelines, reaching out to signal the team to wrap up.

Anderson, who defended Brewer on the flank, pulled back. Then he wrapped it up.

Tang Shuai immediately fell into the situation of a double bag.

Brewer's three-point shooting ability is average, and Pachulia is in charge of the interior. That's why Carlisle dared to do it.

However, Carlisle still underestimated the Clippers' reflexes, and between the formation of the pack, Paul said hello, and Brewer flew over to block and pick, and with the pick-and-roll, Paul successfully ran to the free throw line one step outside the free throw line. At this time, Pachuria, who was inside, did not dare to come out, and directly formed an excellent shooting opportunity.

At the same time, Tang Shuai rushed to the formation of the bag, and directly turned around and threw the ball back.

The basketball passed between Anderson and Barria, grazing Anderson's body. It went straight into Paul's hands.

Paul's hand up is a dog-solid mid-range shot.

Exclusive Sao Paulo shot, empty shot, basketball "swish" hollow entry.

After scoring, Paul and Tang Shuai came to a high-five.

It was a very smooth match, and after the ball went in, Kassel turned to Billups and praised: "Good job." ”

Billups nodded with a smile, as the team's tactical coach, Billups usually set up a few small collaborations in addition to daily training, and the display on the field is one of them, maximizing Tang Shuai's ability to play back.

Under the premise that the league's small ball wind is blowing more and more fiercely, the back play is becoming less and less, and the bag can be formed at any time, and once the back play is likely to become a mistake, and Billups is obviously very clear about Tang Shuai's attainments in back play, as well as the excellent passing ability shown in the subsequent game, and the combination of the two is the tactic just now.

Carlisle reached out for a timeout, and after Tang Shuai broke up his team's bag with clever passes on both occasions, it was clear that he needed to make a change.

On the Clippers' side, it's just the opposite, Tang Shuai took advantage of the low post, so to maximize this benefit, Kassel emphasized paying attention to the off-ball blocking, and then pulled Tang Shuai to ask him to pay attention to the Mavericks' bag time.

The coaches on both sides fought wits and courage, which was reflected in the-for-tat on the field.

Coming back from the timeout, neither side made any changes to the lineup.

The Mavericks' offensive round.

As soon as he came up, Nowitzki began to ask for a position on the right flank, and he was ready to fight on his back when he saw that the posture was open.

Green is a swing player in the third or fourth position, and more often in the third position, at this time the height of the top defense Nowitzki is much worse.

The veteran driver has a lot of experience, and after seeing that the Clippers didn't have a bag, two turns are a trademark turn and lean.

He is 2.13 meters tall, and his lean after this turn is completely unblocked, and Green can't even interfere after jumping.

The basketball crossed a high parabola in the air and fell straight towards the basket.

With a "bang", the basketball looks very high, but the landing point is quite accurate, and the stable hollow enters the net.

Nowitzki, who hit the shot, looked at Green with a smile, a scene that hasn't changed for nearly two decades.

Cassel nodded from the sidelines. Didn't blame Green for defending.

Looking back, Tang Shuai still landed on the ground to beat Barria in accordance with Kassel's tactical arrangement.

After he turned his head, he quickly realized that the Mavericks didn't have a bag this time.

Carlisle chose to be the first to make a change, and the way he changed was to let Barria defend Tang Shuai alone.

That's when it happened. The cheers of the audience who realized this immediately rose, this is a one-on-one back round, and those who watch the play are not too big, and those who are heckling will not care about the quietness.

Tang Shuai sank down and pushed inside.

I have to say that although Baria is a lot shorter than him, he is really not much worse in strength, and he doesn't even push much on a few hits.

After realizing that Barria was pushing him with all his might, he suddenly turned around and changed his center of gravity. Turn around and go inside.

This trick has been tried and tested in previous games, because of the advantage in strength, the defenders who basically defend with all their strength cannot retreat back to the center of gravity.

But at the moment when he turned around and walked inside, he suddenly realized that he had underestimated Barria, and almost at the moment when he turned around, Barria also instantly pushed up to his route, and reacted quite quickly.

He was caught off guard and almost stopped the ball.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar. Obviously, in the previous game, Tang Shuai's perfect back play made them accustomed to it, and this sudden deflated seemed very unexpected.

Tang Shuai doesn't believe in evil anymore. Reposition and prepare to play again.

This time he noticed an additional change in Barria's center of gravity, first to the left, and then to the right.

He swings fast, just to keep Barria from keeping up with him.

But what he didn't expect was that after he turned around, Barria actually appeared behind him again.

This time. He was completely dumbfounded, this Baria reacted too quickly.

"Jose has a lot of experience." On the Clippers' bench, Billups turned to Cassel and said.

Tang Shuai was very passive at this time, and after two consecutive unsuccessful attempts to turn around, the offensive time had been almost consumed by him. At this time, there were only four or five seconds left, and if nothing else, he didn't have time to try again.

That's when he finally realized something.

Barria as a short player, and the kind of small head, the whole body structure may not be less than one meter eighty-three, in the game will often become the target of the opponent's back, generally this kind of player who is easy to be singled, either the coach who was beaten directly did not dare to let him play, or the more frustrated the braver, and now Barria can still become a starter, which means that he has accumulated a lot of experience, in other words, he has enough ability to ensure that he stays on the field.

Tang Shuai clearly underestimated Barria's ability.

There was not enough time, and in a hurry, he could only turn around and lean back to shoot.

This trick is useless at all in normal times, but the result can be imagined, the angle is not right, and he actually came directly to cross the bridge.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar.

After landing, Tang Shuai also shook his head in annoyance, the skill package on his back was purple, but the back after turning around was still green, which was obviously not much different on the NBA field.

Tang Shuai's back hit was a little embarrassing in the end, but he was not stupid, he knew that it was worth the loss to hit Barria with his back after a ball, and in the next round, he used more jumpers after blocking and dismantling, or breakthroughs to score.

108-92, after the fierce battle in the fourth quarter, although the Mavericks' starting performance was excellent, the Clippers, who were more powerful on the bench, finally won the victory.

Booker played particularly well in this game, making 4-of-5 three-pointers for a bench-high 15 points, his highest since joining the Clippers.

In the locker room after the game, Booker looked very excited, pulling Tang Shuai and saying this and that.

However, Tang Shuai was not very excited, the Mavericks were full of wounded soldiers, plus old arms and legs, if the Clippers couldn't win, it would be a big problem.

Booker's excellent play is a big positive news for Stephenson after he was traded, after all, the team is in the playoffs, and the bench still needs him to play more at this three-point point, but compared to this, he is obviously aware of a bigger problem.

He had a big problem with his back.

In the regular season before, because he didn't use the back play many times, the opponent didn't have much of a bad attitude against his style of play. So his success rate for going to the basket was very high, but judging from this game, Carlisle was clearly prepared, and the result was that his back play was almost useless.

The biggest reason for this result is that he will not turn around and lean back on another key technology.

There are two directions of attack with a back hit. Inward or outward, inward is basically a breakthrough after turning, or pressing under the basket with force and then waiting for an opportunity to attack, while outward is turning and leaning back.

Turning and leaning back, as one of the most critical techniques in back-to-back singles, is a must-have for every back-to-back master.

When packing Johnson, because Johnson's turnaround bag had degraded to blue, Tang Shuai naturally chose to pack it with a purple back, and now Johnson has been packed once, and it is obviously impossible to have a second time.

He had to find his next packing target as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he really waits for the playoffs, without the offensive means of back-to-back play, his threat on the offensive end will drop by at least a third.

Turning and leaning back as a back-to-back singles undertaking technique, very popular before the twentieth century, is one of the necessary offensive techniques for guards, the most classic is the "basketball god" Jordan, Jordan's turning and leaning timing and action are extremely perfect, almost impossible to defend. After Jordan, Kobe, Maddie, Pierce, and Carter also inherited this technology. The picturesque pose made the fans addicted to watching.

But in the 21st century, the small-ball style is prevalent, and more and more emphasis is placed on the role of three-point shooting and defensive counterattack in offense.

But because of this, people who own this technology are particularly precious. Because no matter how you play in front, once the game is scorched at the last moment, you need stars to stand up and solve the game, and the key point to test whether an outside player has a big heart is his offensive skills. Turning around and leaning back is obviously one of the most important things.

In today's alliance, the technique of turning back is so prominent that it can be counted on your fingers.

Although Kobe Bryant is about to retire, the technology is still there; Although Anthony's body is going downhill, his skills are still at the peak; James' turnaround and lean, although not often used in the game, is also powerful at critical moments; Livingston, who is less famous, turning around and leaning back is his current specialty, beautiful as a textbook; The other is Pierce, a veteran who now plays for the Clippers.

Pierce started his career in Boston, was the team boss, hit countless key shots, and the older he got, the more slippery he became, and instead of losing his back skills, he became more and more perfect.

Tang Shuai knew this from the first time he entered the Clippers.

The weakened purple back single pack, the weakened purple turn back pack, this is the necessary offensive skill pack as a top defender.

For Tang Shuai, Pierce is the object he will definitely pack, but at the beginning, he has no ability or certainty to pack, after all, in the setting of the packaging system, if the packaging fails, the skill pack of the same level will be dropped.

But now, with an exclusive skill set and shortcomings, it's still worth a try, although there is still a certain amount of risk.

However, although the goal is there, it will take a while.

Injuries are a very strange thing, Pierce played a long time with the Wizards, but basically did not suffer injuries, and the playoff playing time was 30+ per game, and he could repeatedly put on a good show, but after this season to the Clippers, the playing time has shrunk significantly, but there have been intermittent injuries.

The main reason for this injury is also related to playing time, Griffin's injury prompted Cassel to put Pierce in the starting power forward position, and the sudden increase in playing time, coupled with the opponent's No. 4 position, made the veteran's knee a little unbearable, and the swelling after the game rested directly after the All-Star break, and he has not been able to play until now.

So Tang Shuai had the heart to pack from Pierce's body, and he could only wait for a while.

And it was for a while that the flaws of his back beating were more and more exposed, and even met with many doubts from commentators.

Griffin is injured, Pierce is injured, in the low post singles, only Tang Shuai is left, you can't expect Green to score with his back when he is facing the opponent's No. 4 position, and you can't expect Brewer to open up the singles, the only thing that can be counted on is Smith on the bench, but compared to Smith, who is like a nerve knife, Tang Shuai, who has proven himself in the past games, is obviously a more reliable choice.

This is in the eyes of the fans. Kassel and Billups also took it to heart.

Therefore, after the All-Star break, in order to maintain the team's scoring means, the team naturally increased the number of low-post singles of Tang Shuai.

When anything is magnified into the spotlight, even the smallest details can be infinitely magnified.

Tang Shuai's back play success rate is very good, because the strength of the defenders is mostly weaker than him, but not every time. Barria was able to use his experience and strength to prevent him from playing inside, so could Teague, so could Bradley, and after a few games, he would only play inside and not throw out, and the characteristics were discovered by commentators on the sidelines.

When the Hawks were at home, the home commentators even teased Tang Shuai as a scarce guard in the league who couldn't jump shots.

Questioning makes people anxious, Tang Shuai can't shut other people's mouths, he can only improve through training.

After the last player meeting, the relationship between Green and Tang Shuai quickly warmed up. The trio that trained that day has remained to this day.

Green's figure is the standard No. 3 position, but after being selected by the Thunder, he was cultivated as the No. 4 position, and the techniques of inside back play and hook hand have been learned more or less, but this is the same as adding the wrong base points when playing the game, adding the points that are not much to the place where they are not good at, and the development will naturally not be too good. And after playing the No. 4 position for a few years, his dribbling and breakthrough abilities are mediocre. That's why he's getting worse and worse.

Purple Power Pack, Purple Mid Shot Pack, Blue Dribble Pack, Blue Breakout Pack, Blue Back Body Single Pack, Blue Turn Back Pack......

With a packaging system. After several trainings, Tang Shuai also has a full understanding of Green's habits and strength.

Although Tang Shuai is not a coach, after seeing Green's weaknesses, he still gave him some advice from a friend's point of view.

Green now clearly needs to move to the No.3 position, and not just because of his size. When Griffin returns, he will definitely appear more in the number three position.

Green is still very modest, and at Tang Shuai's suggestion, he adjusted the focus of his training to the basics of dribbling and breaking.

This day's sweat was like rain, and when the training was about to end, Tang Shuai pulled Green and played heads-up directly.

Pierce's back was leaning back with a purple skill pack, and if he wanted to pack it, he would first have to upgrade his green skill pack to a blue one, and now Green was clearly the most suitable person to pack.

Green is also full of interest, and after training in the past few days, he also wants to know how effective his training is.

"I'll be the referee for you! Part-time audience! Booker stood outside the bottom line and became the only spectator of the two-man heads-up.

"You attack first." Tang Shuai was very polite and threw the ball directly to Green.

"Then I'm coming." Green didn't talk nonsense, after taking the ball, a few cross-steps shook for a while, and he rushed straight in.

The training can't be so fast, but compared to just arriving at the Clippers, the targeted training still makes Green's breakthrough movements a lot more standardized, and he is about to go to the basket while protecting the ball and leaning on Tang Shuai.

Green's strength is not much weaker than Tang Shuai's, but his skills are really not very good, after Tang Shuai went up, his movements were obviously a little deformed, and he only relied on the advantage of height to make a habitual hook move.

The hook hand between the marches, without such a special training as Tang Shuai, it is obviously impossible to exert much power, Tang Shuai faced off with an eye-covering defense, Green's shot was crooked, and the basketball smashed to the edge of the rebound and bounced, almost a bridge.

After the shot, Green's eyes kept looking at the position of the ball landing, and when he saw the ball pop out of the frame, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"You've improved a lot." Tang Shuai comforted.

Green smiled bitterly, threw the ball to Tang Shuai, and turned into defense.

Tang Shuai didn't want to waste too much time in this level of confrontation, and after taking the ball, he rushed straight in.

Tang Shuai's breakthrough ability and Green are obviously not at the same level, and the ultra-fast starting speed and unpredictable change of direction are exactly Green's biggest weakness.

After a change of direction, Green's center of gravity was shaken, and if he wanted to come back, he was already more than capable of doing so, and Tang Shuai scored an easy layup.

"Don, it's not fair!" Booker, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help but shout when he saw what was happening in front of him.

Green's speed is a weakness, Tang Shuai is a little unfair to grasp this point, but the reverse is the same, Green is so much taller than Tang Shuai, everything is relative.

"It's okay! Again! "Green has a fighting spirit and is not depressed because he was passed by Tang Shuai.

Green's fighting spirit made Tang Shuai praise from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want to embarrass Green too much, and the subsequent offensive methods were mostly based on Maddie's dry pulling.

However, although the offensive style has changed, Maddie's first step in the quick start of the dry bag is still to grasp the soft underbelly of Green's slow speed.

After a few balls, Green worked hard, but after all, there was a gap in strength, and he didn't defend himself.

In the blink of an eye, it was the last ball.

"Come again!" Green is still scrappy. (To be continued.) )
