The Warriors suddenly made a big move to defend themselves 2-3, and the Mavericks were a little overwhelmed.

It's always easier to score as close to the hoop, so as long as it's not a specific tactic, most teams will break or pass the ball to get the ball carrier closer and closer to the hoop, and thus fall into the trap of the Warriors.

Nowitzki ran back into the box, and after getting the ball, he made a quick jumper, West pushed him in front, and Chamberlain took the opportunity to kill and send a big hat.

The Warriors attacked, Chamberlain played inside, Dampier and Haywood had the same problem, the defense was tough, but his pace was too slow, after all, he was getting older, and his career began to decline.

Chamberlain waved his arm and made a hook shot feint, and Dampier lifted his center of gravity, and when he saw this, he quickly turned around, went around to the basket, put the ball away, and raised it above his head to make a thunderbolt dunk.

The fans were full of resentment about Dampier's poor defense, and boos rang out from all sides like whistles.

The Mavericks still chose to break through, but Terry entered the interior but was caught by Chamberlain and Weiss, he made a wrong pass, the ball was stealed by Blair, and the Warriors played a big man fast break and continued to destroy the Mavericks restricted area.

Seeing this, Kidd immediately changed his move, and he had to pass the ball to his outside teammates and let them use long or mid-to-long shots to solve the opponent.

Nowitzki is a king of the high post after all, and an Ibaka can't contain him, and he hit two shots in a row around the three-point line, both of which can be called key shots, although they can't narrow the score further, but they are enough to make the score less ugly.

But then, West began to exert power, he scored four points in a row, and then stealed Kidd's pass to make a counterattack layup, Terry returned to the defense and pushed West in time, but the latter took the opportunity to rush up and throw a shot to win a 2+1.

Nowitzki hit a jumper, and Curry immediately hit his third three-pointer of the game. Kidd and Marion cooperated to chase five points in a row, and Chamberlain forced Dampier to make two fouls.

Late in the quarter, Curry hit another three-pointer from distance, and the Warriors led by nearly 20 points at 64-46 at the end of the first half.

Mavericks fans were extremely unhappy with this result, and on the way to the locker room, someone yelled at Nowitzki and others: "Is this the pride of Dallas?" Are you going to take us to the championship like that? Did the Mavericks degenerate into this? ”

One sentence made the players look ugly, and they were powerless to fight back, because the Warriors played them really ugly.

The team system can change, the team tactics can change, and the team lineup can change. But if the core of the team remains the same, then the team will be a new bottle of old wine no matter how it changes, and if the characteristics and style of the team's core remain the same, then the team is still essentially an old team.

The one who knows the Mavericks best is always the old Nelson, because Nowitzki is what he dug and then cultivated, can he not know the abilities and strengths and weaknesses of the German tank?

The Mavericks are aware of their problems, but they have no way to deal with them!

The Warriors began the second quarter with a combined defense. The so-called joint defense is the awareness of joint defense, that is to say, the limit is divided into 5 small areas, each person takes care of an area, and is responsible for any action the opponent does in his own area, so that it is easy to pack and combine the opponent.

Combined defense is probably the most widely used defensive tactic in the NBA, and unlike amateur games, teams in the professional league use joint defense, which is improvisation and never stiffens to use a joint defense tactic.

Starting with a 2-3 defense, to a 2-1-2 defense, and then a 3-2 defense, a 1-3-1 defense, when Nowitzki was about to cut points, Ibaka stared at it, and the remaining 4 people defended together, and started 1 and 4 together.

Old Nelson saw that the joint defense worked, and naturally asked the players to stick to this tactic in the midfield, and the joint defense can use the joint defense method to reduce fouls when the team has more fouls, and can also curb the opponent's strong breakthrough ability or peripheral long-range shooting ability.

The pressure is all on Carlisle's side, and the joint defense is most afraid of fast attack, everyone knows this truth, and the joint defense is not formed in the fast attack, so it has no power. However, the Mavericks are veterans, so they aren't fast enough to be dangerous enough.

In addition, the joint defense is afraid of rushing to grab the rebound in the front court, because the card man of the joint defense is not as strict as the mark-to-man defense, once someone rushes into the restricted area to grab the front court rebound, it is easy to make the joint defense fall into chaos - as long as the inside line shrinks the defense into the restricted area, someone can get an open opportunity.

However, the Mavericks still can't do this, and Nowitzki is a big forward with a rebounding ability comparable to a small forward. Dampier was very good at grabbing rebounds at his peak, but he is old now, even if he is young, it is useless, because the rebounding king Chamberlain is in front of them.

Thinking about this, Carlisle began to scratch his head with some annoyance, each joint defense has its own flaws, and different formations have gaps, so there is no effect after the gaps are caught. He tried to find flaws in the Warriors' players, most of them were found, and only one was not.

He couldn't find a defensive flaw in Chamberlain, and Chamberlain was the core of the Warriors' defense, so finding a flaw in this way is still the same as not a flaw - they can find it, and Chamberlain knows it, so these flaws are often traps.

In this way, Carlisle could only say helplessly: "Guys, next we have to be patient in our attack, pass the ball more, and keep passing!" Let those bastards on the Warriors keep running, I don't believe they're all Iron Warriors! ”

In this arrangement, Carlisle has a worry, that is, there is still a loophole in the joint defense, that is, the defense is not prevented, and if someone feels hot and can shoot repeatedly, the Warriors will definitely collapse. Carlisle's fear is that if someone really thinks so, then it will be bad, he wants team basketball not heroism.

The ball was still with the Mavericks in the third quarter, and Kidd didn't rest and led the game again. The Mavericks also have a problem, that is, the lack of point guards, Kidd's substitute is Barria, a small man of more than 1.7 meters, if he is allowed to run into Billups, it will definitely die a miserable death.

Kidd directs his teammates through the ball, and they make dangerous moves in a wide area, but the Warriors' combined defense has become the climate, and the basketball goes round and round between the outside players before finally returning to the core Nowitzki.

Clapping the ball with one hand, Nowitzki stared at the hoop and leaned down and slowly walked forward.

Ibaka replaced, and it was Evans, who was more defensive, who was on the field, and he stared at Nowitzki, so he went up and jammed him toughly, foaming at the mouth and spewing trash words: "Handsome guy, hand over your balls obediently, look at your current appearance, you're already about to collapse, aren't you?" Come on, give me the ball, I'll send you home, wouldn't it be better to go home and go to your mother to have a good cry? ”

"Oh my God, man, you're dribbling the ball in your crotch, what are you going to do? Ready to stuff the ball into your own ****? Do you call this a crotch dribble? Watch out for your balls, man! "Evans stood up to Nowitzki, he kept using small means, one after another, screwing people, grabbing people, pushing people, stepping on people, tearing jerseys, these tricks were endless.

Seeing that Nowitzki couldn't get rid of the energetic Evans, Terry used his superior flexibility to take over the ball from Nowitzki in the high post.

After the pass, the German chariot immediately ran inside, his position was well chosen, just fell into the interior space, the Warriors' joint defensive formation was somewhat disrupted, Terry was quick-eyed, passed the ball into the inside, Nowitzki turned over and jumped, and sent the ball into the hoop.

At this time, the red light also lit up on the rebound, and the Mavericks were about to eat a 24-second violation.

When the basketball entered the circle, Nowitzki's frowning brow finally relaxed, and the second half was off to a good start.

The Mavericks also used a joint defense, and Iverson, who came off the bench, quickly ran through the half court and then tried inside, Terry and Kidd did not hesitate to unfold the package against him, and seeing this, Iverson withdrew and passed the ball to Chamberlain.

Chamberlain came to cover Iverson, but the ball was in his hands.

The responsibility of defending Chamberlain was handed over to Nowitzki's side, and the German tank looked solemn, as if it was about to face a world war, and opened its hands to stop Chamberlain.

Chamberlain leaned sideways against Nowitzki and took a tentative step forward, leaning forward with his right shoulder to make a breakthrough. Seeing this, Nowitzki was taken aback, so he hurriedly took half a step back and stuck in advance of the position.

But as soon as he stepped back, he realized that it was broken, and Chamberlain was just a feint, so that he had room to shoot.

Chamberlain did not hesitate, his arms raised high and his legs bent, and he was about to jump.

Nowitzki's face changed dramatically, and he immediately pounced again. Chamberlain was only a feint, and when he rushed forward, the ball in his right hand struck lightly to the floor, and his left hand grabbed the ball and broke through the right side of the German tank.

Passing the German chariot, Chamberlain faced Marion who was making up for the defense, and quickly changed direction, Marion suddenly hesitated, and there was a loophole in this stunned spirit, Chamberlain cut short past him and rushed into the penalty area.

Seeing this, Mavericks fans stood up nervously, and their eyes were on Dampier, this is the last line of defense!

Dampier opened his arms to stop at the top of the penalty area, Chamberlain attacked hard, Dampier crouched down and exerted force, using his lower abdomen to resist his body.

Finally blocked this guy, Dampier breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as this breath reached his throat, he suddenly became anxious, because Chamberlain, who was stuck by him, was gone!

I saw Chamberlain leaning on Dampier, twisting his stout body, using his strong waist and abdomen to force a turn, and passing Dampier with a beautiful turn, so that the hoop was close at hand.

Chamberlain wanted to make a violent dunk, but then felt that it was unnecessary, their momentum was strong enough, so he provoked his wrist to send the ball into the hoop.

This offense is a blow to the momentum of the Mavericks, Chamberlain entered the penalty area from a high position, broke through three people in a row, and finally scored so easily, how can this kind of person defend?

Carlisle couldn't understand why the same joint defense, which was so powerful in the hands of the Warriors, was useless in the hands of his team?

Nowitzki also chose to go head-to-head, he got rid of Evans and Blair got entangled, and finally used his veteran experience to shake off Blair, and Chamberlain's line of defense came out again, and now he had no way.

Nowitzki was stuck on the inside by Chamberlain, and the Mavericks' problem is bigger, there are too few people who can pick up Nowitzki, the outside line has been blocked, and Dampier on the inside has almost no sense of running and ability, and will only stay where he is and wait for the ball, so that the opponent can defend one accurately.

Nowitzki had no choice but to force his shot, and in order to avoid being blocked, he had to increase the height of his shot, so that the basketball jumped and flew on the hoop with a heavy blow, and hit the iron.

Chamberlain turned to grab the rebound, he threw it to Iverson, and the Warriors started the fast break again.

The reason why the Mavericks' joint defense is so powerful is that their defense line can't be pulled up, and they are constantly changing, for example, at this moment, the Warriors launched a fast attack, and they simply didn't have time to arrange the joint defense, in addition, Iverson attacked quickly, and he scored a layup with the ball in the frontcourt.

After that, the Mavericks' offense encountered another dead-ball crisis, Chamberlain took the opportunity to grab the ball in Nowitzki's arms, the referee blew for the ball, and the fans booed wildly, but it was useless.

Of course, Chambers won the ball, and the Warriors' offensive rhythm was the same, but this time it was not a breakthrough layup, but West's three-point shot, which stretched the difference between the two to 20 points.

Carlisle had no choice but to call a timeout.
