Basketball starts with breathing

The Suns attack with constant change. Lu Yu catches the ball with an off-ball screen on the right side. This time, Nowitzki is attracted to switch defenses. The old driver is fierce and has no chance to shoot directly. He dribbles the ball sideways. , Marion made an empty cut, and Dampier retreated to block.

Lu Yu took it towards Nowitzki.

Attracting his attention and Marbury's flanking, a close pass to the middle, Haslem catches the ball at the free throw line, and hits two points firmly, 5 to 2
The tactics arranged before the game are very useful. When Lu Yu attracts flanking attacks, there will be constant cuts by players, and the opponent will definitely shrink the defense line. At this time, there will be vacancies in the high position.

Haslem excitedly gave Lu Yu a high-five to celebrate.

Lu Yu rubbed his right hand and scolded with a smile: "If I don't feel good today, I will be killed by your slap."

In the Mavericks battle, Marbury took the ball to the frontcourt to observe the situation, played a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki, and dribbled the ball to the weak side by himself. Regardless of the inside line, he rushed directly to Finley outside the three-point line.

After playing in the NBA for three seasons, Lu Yu has become more and more thorough in his research on defense. This requires players to have a quick response to predict the opponent's actions. If he is not close to the ball, Finley can easily shoot a three-pointer , Marion would be too late to defend again, so he could only interfere slightly.

As long as it is close to even a short guard, the defensive effect is better than making it easy to pull up. Finley singled Lu Yu into the three-point line, leaned back, turned around and missed the basket with a jumper.

He can't single Lu Yu at all, as to why he didn't pass the ball to Dampier.

At the moment when Lu Yu assisted in the defense, Dampier was vacant.

But just for a moment, Finley hesitated and did not dare to pass the ball, because the pass might be blocked by Lu Yu. After missing this opportunity, Haslem quickly completed the rotation with Marion.

That's how fast the Suns' rotation defense is.

Except for Nash's height problem, the effect of switching defenses is slightly worse. When the Suns play their so-called big and small lineups, they can switch defenses infinitely.

Because of their four children, the shortest is Quentin Richardson at 198cm.

Battier is 203cm, Haslem is 203cm, these four small men can change defenses infinitely, and the opponents have no way to attack when they attack.

This is the strongest defensive lineup of the Suns, and the offensive end does not seem to be stretched.

It's just that when D'Antoni didn't feel a sense of crisis, he was still reluctant to use it, a bit desperate for face.

When Lu Yu found out that Finley's shooting track was wrong, he threw off Finley and went straight to the fast break. Marion grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Lu Yu like a football quarterback. Marion chased and defended slowly. After taking a step, I thought of jumping and stealing the ball, but I didn't have enough jumping power to touch it.

Lu Yu received the ball from outside the three-point line, took three steps after releasing the ball, and dunked the ball in with one hand.

7 is better than 2
In the first few rounds, Lu Yu has scored 5 points and 1 assist.

The Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki caught the ball and singled Haslem, leaned his back twice, turned around from the right to the center and shot a jumper, missed the basket under interference, and the rebound was grabbed by Lu Yu. …

After Nash dribbled twice, he passed it to Lu Yu. Lu Yu dribbled the ball to the right outside the three-point line and passed Finley in one step. As for Dampier, he still didn't catch up in the backcourt.

After attracting Marbury's defense in the middle, Lu Yu threw the ball into the air, and Marion flew up on the right side, catching the ball with both hands and dunking it in.

9 to 2, Lu Yu's second assist.

Zhang Weiping said: "At the beginning of the game, there was an omen to open the score. The Suns defended well in these two waves. Their offensive success rate is very high, especially the counterattack that cannot be scored by catching the opponent. This is the most harmful to the opponent. "

Sun Yiping said: "I didn't expect Haslem to be so effective in defending Nowitzki. You must know that the Suns still have Battier on the bench. This is not their strongest defensive lineup."

Marbury and Daniels picked and rolled, but didn't get a good shot, and gave it to Nowitzki on the right.

Nowitzki faces the frame with three threats. The three-threat action is really a big basic skill. Many players can't play well because they haven't done the three-threat well.

The triple threat is one of the most basic offensive moves on the basketball court.

It means that as a ball holder, there are three options of "breakthrough, shooting, and passing" to target defenders.

This is the favorite move of Kobe and Carmelo Anthony. Of course, like the early stage of a certain emperor's career, if there is no basket, it is better not to make three threats.

The premise of the three threats is to have a shooting percentage.

After the three-threat move, Nowitzki took a step to the bottom line, made an emergency stop for a jumper, and missed the basket again under the interference of Haslem.

The defense was blocked, and the eight threats were useless.

After Marion grabbed the rebound, he went directly to Lu Yu, but the opponent retreated and learned smart this time, and didn't give him a chance, so he fell into a positional battle.

Positional warfare Lu Yu played a pick-and-roll with Haslem in the middle, and broke through on the left. Only Daniels was defending Richardson here, and Daniels did not dare to let Richardson go to help defend.

Nowitzki blocked Lu Yu when he switched defenses, otherwise Lu Yu's ball would go straight in.

Dampier could only stay under the basket, he didn't dare to go out, the basket was empty when he went out, but if he didn't go out, Haslem easily received the ball in the high position, Nowitzki rushed to Haslem again, Haslem passed the ball to Lu Yu again, Lu Yu flicked his wrist, but this time the ball flew to Richardson in the bottom corner.

Daniels regretted it, he couldn't hold back in the end, twisted his body to help defend, and the ball flew to the bottom corner as soon as he came over.

He had no choice but to go back again, Richardson feinted a shot, flew Daniels, made a mid-range shot, and hit it easily.

11:2.

Lu Yu's third assist.

Sun Yiping sighed: "The Suns are not only good at fast break, but also very patient in positional battles. Even Haslem didn't take credit for the shot, but continued to conduct, so that Nowitzki, who was helping to defend, was very patient. Tired of running."

Zhang Weiping said: "This is what we often say in the internal pass. Lu Yu attracts a flanking attack. Once you flank, Richardson will be empty."

Mavericks coach Jr. Avery Johnson decided that if he couldn't score, he would call a timeout.

In Lu Yu's previous life, Johnson was the myth of a rookie coach. …

At the end of the 2004-05 season, the head coach of the Dallas Mavericks at the time, Nelson Sr., publicly decided to resign on his own, because the Mavericks' season record was only 42 wins and 22 losses at this time. Even if Steve Nash was released, the team The management firmly believes that they still have good competitiveness in the west.

After the old Nelson left, the Mavericks used Johnson, who had just retired for one year, to lead the team through the rest of the season.

And Johnson won 18 of these 16 games. In the first round of the playoffs, he reversed the Houston Rockets with a 0:2 situation. Although he still lost to the Suns, Johnson's coaching position has been converted.

This is somewhat similar to the plot of Lu Yu's life.

The myth that the little general in his previous life became a rookie coach was definitely not because of these sixteen victories.

In the following season, Johnson led the team to 60 wins and won the best coach of the season. The Mavericks reached the finals and established his status as the league's top coach in one fell swoop. In the 06-07 season, the Dallas people who lost in the finals showed an extremely strong intention of revenge. In the regular season, they reached the top with 67 wins.

Unfortunately, the Mavericks faced the Golden State Warriors coached by former coach Nelson in the first round of the playoffs that year.

The old Nelson, who knew the Mavericks well, completely suppressed the former student Johnson as if teaching.The invincible dominance of the Mavericks in the regular season paled in front of the Golden State gang, and the biggest upset in NBA history was born!
If it weren't for the old Nelson, maybe Johnson would be a successful head coach.

Johnson became famous because the old Nelson built a team for him.

Johnson failed because he relied too much on the team left by the old Nelson.

Speaking of this game, the Mavericks attacked. Nowitzki caught the ball and played singles. He leaned on Haslem and turned to the baseline. He was stuck and failed to enter the basket. He relied on his height advantage to forcefully take off and shoot. , the movements are not very good-looking, and his body is a little crooked. At this time, he has not yet practiced his golden rooster independence, so he didn't put in it.

Marbury pushed Nash when he was rushing to grab a rebound and was called for a foul, and Johnson called a timeout.

It was D'Antoni's decision to ask Lu Yu's opinion to find Haslem in the first place. Now it seems that it is the right choice.

Haslem was recruited by Guo Xu to play in the preseason. Everyone knows this.

Haslem is also very grateful to Lu Yu. If it wasn't for Lu Yu, he might still be floating in a certain European league. Sometimes Haslem would even find a photo with Lu Yu during the NCAA game. That was the beginning of their friendship. witness.

Haslem's performance this season is also obvious to all.

outstanding,
Also tough.

But no one thought that he could prevent Nowitzki from scoring?
In Lu Yu's previous life, Haslem could single-handedly reduce Nowitzki's shooting percentage, especially in the 2006 Finals, where he played exceptionally well.

When a big man plays back with the ball, he is used to lowering his center of gravity, using his footwork and strength to make it difficult for opponents to move and wait for opportunities to draw the ball.After the opponent turned around, he bounced well, and he could interfere with shots very well when he took off.

In the 2006 finals, it was Dirk Nowitzki who he defended, coupled with Wade's god-like performance, won the championship. …

In the 2011 Finals, Bosh was the main defense against Nowitzki. As a substitute, he could only act in a hurry.

In addition, James was defended by Barea in a single game and only scored 8 points in the game. With such a performance, it is not easy to win the championship.

8 points in a single game, I don't know how Zhan Mi is so cunning... explain.

The Heat that year really thought that they were here for their brothers, but when they reached the finals, they found that something was wrong. The big core is to win Wade, and I came to assist the left.

Perhaps this is the reason why Barea scored 8 points in a single game.

After Wade voluntarily abdicated in the second year, a certain emperor officially ascended the throne.

Of course, this is something for later, and it's all Lu Yu's own thinking, but he really likes Haslem's defense.

Haslem's one-on-one defense is very similar to Draymond Green of the future Warriors. He has a similar body size, but he has not practiced in assisting defense; on the offensive end, his performance is not as comprehensive as Green's, with poor coping ability and rough dribbling skills. , scoring mainly by catching and shooting.

He and Nowitzki played 12 games in the finals, the score was 4-2, and each won a championship.

这两次总决赛诺维斯基合计打42分钟，得到24.4分10.3篮板2.3助攻0.7抢断0.7盖帽，投篮命中率40.4%，三分命中率30.2%，罚球命中率93.1%，场均罚中7.8球。

It is not difficult to see from the data that Nowitzki is not good at scoring when singled out Haslem in sports battles. Although there are factors of being assisted in defense, the efficiency is much lower than in the regular season.During the regular season, Nowitzki's shooting percentage was 46%, which was largely due to Haslem's multiple injuries after 2012, and the serious decline in his state. Before that, Nowitzki's defense data was not very good. nice.

Before practicing the "Golden Rooster Independence" trick, Nowitzki was afraid that this kind of forward with strong mobility, strength, and a height of just over two meters would be difficult to get rid of if he was entangled, so he could only attack people under interference.

His weakness was obvious until he won the regular season MVP in 2007. The Mavericks were "black eight" by the Warriors in the playoffs.Nowitzki was defended ugly by Stephen Jackson. In the sixth game of life and death, he only made 13 of 2 shots and scored a poor 8 points.

So, who has no black history?

Lu Yu likes to think about James' 8 points, and some people like to argue with Nowitzki's 8 points.

After the timeout ended, Johnson replaced Daniels with Josh Howard.

Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "It seems that the head coach of the Mavericks is going to get stuck on the outside defense, but Howard's defense is not much better than Daniels."

Sun Yiping said: "Johnson also has no choice. The team left by the old Nelson is to attack and attack again. To put it bluntly, their problem is not that they can't defend, because they can't defend, the key problem is that they can't attack. , It seems that Howard was changed for defense, but in fact, I still want to try the touch of offense."

Zhang Weiping nodded: "However, in this way, Nowitzki's offensive space is much larger."

As soon as Howard stepped up, the Mavericks' offense immediately opened up. Marbury passed the ball to Howard, who was running.
The Suns attacked, Lu Yu passed the ball to find Richardson, Howard posted it, and Lu Yu posted the bottom line.

With the help of Haslem's screen, Richardson looked like he was about to make a shot from outside the three-point line, but he slammed the ball to the air-cut Nash, and Nash made a throw from the horns.

But the ball missed the basket.

When Nowitzki saw Nash making an air cut, he had already noticed something was wrong. He knew his good brother too well. The two lived together before. When Nash squatted down, Nowitzki knew that Nash was going to pull...to do it Well.

Nash quickly indicated that he didn't play the ball well.

D'Antoni on the sidelines signaled that Battier was ready to play, not because Nash missed the shot, but because Nash's starting time ran out.

After all, his real identity now is the sixth man.
