NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 283 It won’t work even if Jesus comes, I said so!

The Mavericks were also forced to call a timeout. They were stunned by the Kings' sudden zone defense.

Can basketball still play like this?
Isn't it a good one-off?

Why do you resort to group fights?
However, the way to break zone defenses all over the world is the same, which is outside shooting.

The Mavericks have shots, but one thing they're missing is shaft near the free throw line.

If your ball keeps bouncing around on the outside, you can't really threaten the zone defense team.

The best way to break a zone defense is to play inside, mobilize the zone defense, and then use outside shots to deliver a fatal blow.

Therefore, the axis near the free throw line is very important.

All outside passes can be quickly transmitted through this axis near the free throw line, and can be quickly transferred from the strong side to the weak side.

Without this axis, as the Mavericks did before, it would take more than three passes from the bottom corner on one side to the bottom corner on the other side, which would also give the Kings time to make up defense.

If the ball goes from the axis of the free throw line, it can go from the bottom corner of the strong side to the bottom corner of the weak side through only two transmissions.

More importantly, as a pivot player, he can also attack the basket, which will greatly constrain the defensive formation and cause the entire zone defense rotation to become stuck.

Nelson naturally arranged it this way. They have Nowitzki and Jamison as two pivot candidates.

Of course, Nowitzki is the first choice. The first reason is that Dirk's passing is better, and the second and most important reason is that Dirk is his biological son.

Jamison's current situation in the team is a bit like Van Exel last season. Everyone regards him as a godson and feels that sooner or later he will leave the Mavericks.

Watching the players come on stage, Nelson always felt that there was something wrong with the arrangement just now, but he couldn't imagine what he had missed.

Isn't it the orthodox tactic of breaking a zone defense?
Could there be any omissions?
When he saw Nowitzki standing on the free throw line and the person coming from the Kings was Lu Yuanzhi, Nelson realized that he had missed something.

Max!
Max's physical talent is so top-notch.

Sure enough, something went wrong on the Mavericks' first offense.

When Jamison in the bottom corner passed the ball back to Nowitzki, Lu Yuanzhi suddenly came out from the side.

A wingspan of 228 centimeters makes many safe passing routes less safe.

Jamison's low-vigilance pass was intercepted by Lu Yuanzhi again, and then it was Nowitzki chasing Lu Yuanzhi again.

And Lu Yuanzhi also used his strong body and quick speed to tell everyone that during the transition stage between offense and defense, his assault was unstoppable.

The Mavericks' offense is getting more and more uncomfortable.

Lu Yuanzhi, on the other hand, used his defensive ability to continuously attack and interfere with the Mavericks' offensive organization.

By about nine minutes into the first quarter, the Kings had tied the score.

22: 22.

The huge early lead was slowly erased.

The Mavericks scored just six points in nearly six minutes.

But there is good news, Lu Yuanzhi and Stojakovic were finally replaced and rested.

But the bad news is that the replaced Turkoglu and Christie are not much different in strength.

However, with the adjustment of the Kings lineup, the zone defense tactics that left the Mavericks helpless finally stopped.

However, the Mavericks players could not continue the hot touch at the beginning, and the Kings began to overpower the Mavericks.

With the continuous rotation of personnel, the shortcomings of the Mavericks' lack of substitute strength have also been exposed.

The replacements of Bradley and Laga Bell lacked offensive power, and Da Zhi couldn't find the touch when he came up in a hurry. He could only rely on Nash to fire frequently from outside the three-point line to seal the score.

On the Kings side, Turkoglu, Bobby Jackson, Jim Jackson and Christie who came on the bench seized the opportunity to beat the Mavericks bench players.When Lu Yuanzhi returned in the second quarter, the Kings opened up the score again and widened the point difference to 12 points.

After Lu Yuanzhi returned to the court, he continued to strengthen the Kings' defense. At the same time, on the offensive end, Lu Yuanzhi really started to shoot one or two steps away from the three-point line as he said in the press conference before.

The super long three-pointer has become a conventional weapon.

As a last resort, the Mavericks could only expand their defense outwards, leaving the inside empty. The Kings seized the opportunity, and Divac made a pass from the high post and cut into the basket, scoring several standard Princeton-style goals.

At the end of the first half, the Kings main team once again expanded their lead.

66:48, the Kings lead by 18 points.

In the third quarter, both sides continued to score points back and forth, but the point difference never narrowed.

At the end of the third quarter, the Kings scored a terrifying 90 points, while the Mavericks gradually found their way and scored 74 points.

Unfortunately, the hole dug in the first half was too big, and the Mavericks still couldn't fill it in the third quarter.

But when Lu Yuanzhi sat on the bench, thinking that the game was over, the situation suddenly changed at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

At this time, the Mavericks only left Finley and LaFrentz on the court, playing with a bunch of substitutes.

But the Mavericks players seemed to suddenly become hot. First, Finley and LaFrentz hit three-pointers from outside the three-point line, and then, Da Zhi and Bell's three-pointers also opened.

Then, Nowitzki, who returned to the court, began his performance. With Turkoglu and Weber jointly blocking, he hit three three-pointers in a row.

Scored 7 points in 21 attacks!
It's just so unreasonable!

"What the hell! Can you still shoot three-pointers like this?"

"Did they have scopes?"

There was a lot of chatter on the Kings bench, and they kept complaining about the Mavericks' three-point rain.

The Kings generals, who thought they had already secured the victory, had to tighten their nerves again and prepare for the tough battle in the fourth quarter.

Although Lu Yuanzhi has seen many fierce three-point offensives by the Warriors in his time and space, it is extremely rare to be as fierce as the Mavericks now.

The Kings only scored 7 points in these 6 attacks. Although the scoring efficiency was low, it was considered normal, but they were caught up by the Mavericks.

At 96:96, the two sides actually tied again in the fourth quarter.

"Max, get ready!"

Adelman saw that the situation was not right and quickly picked up Lu Yuanzhi from the bench, hoping to strengthen the defense and curb the Mavericks' point-chasing frenzy.

Of course, Adelman didn't mention zone defense at all.

The opponent is feeling hot and wants everything from outside the three-point line, but you still play zone defense?
Isn't it looking for death?
Lu Yuanzhi walked to the edge of the technical table and waited for the next dead ball.

At this moment, Nash used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Bibby's defense and made an unreasonable three-pointer from outside the three-point line!

"brush!"

In again!
96:99, the Mavericks took a three-point lead!
With 6 minutes left in the game, the two sides ushered in the final decisive moment.

"beep-"

The referee blew the whistle to signal the Kings to make a substitution.

Lu Yuanzhi clapped his hands and reappeared.

He didn't want to go through some ups and downs, lose the game in Dallas, and end up with nothing.

I must win this game, even if Jesus comes, it won’t work, I said so!
