I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 166 Targeting each other’s defensive weaknesses

The timeout ends and the game continues.

The Mavericks made substitution adjustments, replacing Stevens and Marion and replacing them with Terry and Caron Butler to enhance their offensive capabilities.

The Warriors replaced Randolph and replaced Biedrins.

After returning from the timeout, the Mavericks attacked.

Kidd dribbled to the outside of the three-point line and directed his teammates to move.

Under Kidd's command, Haywood stepped forward and made an off-ball screen for Terry.

Terry bypassed the screen, got rid of Ellis' pursuit, ran to the free throw line, received Kidd's predictive pass, and made a pull-up jumper.

Biedrins, who retracted to the basket, picked up the basketball on the floor, quickly exited the baseline, and sent the ball out.

Curry received the pass and quickly dribbled forward. Sun Yi, Ellis and others were already on the fast break.

The experienced Kidd quickly stepped forward to stick to Curry, delaying the Warriors' fast break.

After being stuck by Kidd, Curry did not increase his speed and immediately passed the ball.

After receiving the ball, Ellis went beyond the three-point line. Seeing that the Mavericks players retracted into the penalty area, they jumped up and shot.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

The Warriors went ahead by 1 point!
On the bench of the Mavericks, head coach Carlisle saw what happened on the court and was very angry. He came to the sidelines and yelled loudly towards the court.

"Take it seriously, do you still need me to teach you how to defend?!"

On the field, the players of the Mavericks nodded their heads after hearing it, expressing their understanding.

Kidd dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, directed his teammates to move, and was ready to deal the cards.

The Warriors defended very well in this round and did not give the Mavericks an open shot.

Seeing this situation, Ji BuGong passed the ball to Nowitzki.

The tactics can't be opened, so it's right to hand the ball to the team boss.

In the low area on the right, Nowitzki received the pass with his back against Sun Yi, and quickly turned around, thinking of facing Sun Yi in singles.

Clap!
When Sun Yi cut the ball, he hit Nowitzki hard on the arm.

"Beep! The Warriors' No. 9 hitter fouled."

The referee blew his whistle and made a penalty gesture towards the technical platform.

Regarding this foul, Sun Yi raised his hand generously to indicate that he had indeed committed a foul.

"The timing of cutting the ball is not right, you need to practice more."

Sun Yi shook his head slightly, muttered something in a low voice, and was doing self-examination.

Since the number of fouls has not yet reached, the conditions for free throws are not met.

The game continued, and the Mavericks made a sideline kick.

Kidd came out to catch the pass and reorganized the offense.

Nowitzki came to the mid-range area on the left and attracted the Warriors' defense.

Butler, who was wandering in the high area on the right, suddenly started and accelerated to cut into the penalty area.

Kidd, who was in possession of the ball at the top of the arc, quickly passed the ball.

After receiving the pass, Butler quickly rushed to the basket and flew to the basket, but was interfered by Biedrins who drove back and failed to score.

At the basket, Sun Yi rushed back to grab a defensive rebound, turned around and pushed forward after landing.

After being yelled at by head coach Carlisle, the Mavericks players retreated very quickly.

Falling into a positional battle, Sun Yi dribbled the ball to the top of the key, observed the position of his teammates, and prepared to deal the cards.

Curry and Ellis quickly moved without the ball according to the tactics, and they failed to get rid of the defensive players with the help of teammates' cover.

Seeing this situation, Sun Yi could only end the attack by himself.

He took a step back, quickly made a change of direction in front of his body and broke through to the right. Seeing Nowitzki moving to the right, he immediately used his explosive power to pull the ball back, and then forced a change of direction to break into the three-point line from the left.

With the badge [Reinforced Iron Bone], Sun Yi was not worried about any problems with his ankle.

But Nowitzki didn't know that Sun Yi had a plug-in assistant, so he was shocked by what happened just now.

"This guy changed his direction so violently that he lost his ankle?!"

Nowitzki failed to figure it out and even forgot about pursuit.

On the other side, Sun Yi rushed into the penalty area and made a layup before Haywood came back.

"Good shot! Sun Yi's breakthrough skills this time are not inferior to any point guard." Barkley praised.

On the court, Kidd dribbled to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Nowitzki.

Only when Nowitzki opens up, can Ji Bugong exert his organizational ability and connect the team's offense.

In the low area on the right, Nowitzki received the pass, turned around quickly, and singled Sun Yi face-to-face.

He made a three-threat move and took a tentative step. After a few tentative steps, he saw that Sun Yi was indifferent, so he immediately retracted his tentative foot and raised his hand to prepare for a shot.

At this moment, Sun Yi suddenly moved, stretched his arms and cut to the basketball in Nowitzki's hand like lightning.

Clap!
With the bonus effect of the badge [Cut Ball Expert], Sun Yi accurately cut the ball, and then quickly started to grab the basketball.

All of this happened so quickly that the other players didn't know what was going on.

"Run! Quick attack!"

Sun Yi yelled, then dribbled the ball and rushed towards the frontcourt.

Curry and others heard Sun Yi's roar and immediately rushed to the frontcourt.

At the same time, the players of the Mavericks also reacted, turning around and quickly chasing defense.

Sun Yi did not give the Mavericks a chance to defend. When he saw his teammates running out of opportunities, with the bonus effect of the badge [Arc Top Deal], he passed the ball to his teammates accurately and quickly.

Ellis, who was sprinting with all his strength, received the pass, rushed to the basket first, and scored the ball with a civilian layup.

Looking back, Terry singled out Ellis with the ball, changed direction in front of his body and then stepped back for a jump shot.

Xiaogong defended very well and did not lose his position, which seriously interfered with the jump shot.

Under the basket, Biedrins stuck Haywood and created an offense for his teammates to grab rebounds.

Sun Yi quickly rushed back to collect the defensive rebound, turned around and advanced towards the frontcourt.

In the transition stage of offense and defense, Curry received a pass from Sun Yi and missed a three-pointer.

Sun Yi, who rushed into the penalty area, jumped up and grabbed an offensive rebound. Seeing that the Mavericks players did not come around, he made a second attack.

Seeing that the score was opened, Novus, who was the main force of the team, basically stood up and acted as a scoring point.

In this round, Nowitzki learned a lesson and hit Sun Yi directly from behind, without giving Sun Yi a chance to cut the ball.

The effect was really good and no more mistakes were made.

Nowitzki slumped his shoulders, lowered his weight, and pushed his back a few times. Seeing that he couldn't push Sun Yi, he immediately turned around and turned back to shoot a jumper.

Sun Yi was already prepared and rushed to interfere.

"Shh!"

The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
There was thunderous applause in the auditorium, and cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena.

The fans were finally able to vent their frustration.

On the court, after Curry dribbled the ball across half court, he handed the ball to Ellis.

Xiao Gongju received the pass and immediately released the ball to start, bursting out as fast as possible and passing Terry in one step.

Although Terry defended as hard as Curry, it was useless.

On the other side, Haywood felt helpless after seeing Terry being easily passed by, so he could only return to defense to wipe his teammates' butts.

Nowitzki couldn't rush back, he didn't dare to let Sun Yi shoot a three-pointer.

After Ellis rushed into the penalty area, he soared into the air, and after a physical confrontation with Heywood, he scored the ball toughly.

On the Mavericks' bench, Carlisle couldn't sit still. He knew that the Warriors were starting to target the Mavericks' weaknesses.

"Since you can't defend, then fight against each other."

After making up his mind, Carlisle came to the sidelines and shouted loudly towards the court.

"Change to offensive strategy No. [-]!"

Kidd, who was dribbling forward on the field, nodded his head to express his understanding.

The other players of the Mavericks ran to the designated position according to the tactical requirements.

When Basel dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, Nowitzki immediately stepped forward to make a pick-and-roll.

After the pick-and-roll tactic was successful, Kidd immediately passed the ball to Nowitzki, allowing him to single out the Warriors' weakest defensive player.

Seeing this scene, Curry naturally knew what the Mavericks wanted to do.

"Damn it! Bullying a rookie like me is nothing!" the primary school student complained in his heart.

In order to win, Nowitzki did not show mercy and simply ignored Curry's defense and hit a mid-range jumper.

Seeing the elementary school students being bullied so miserably, Sun Yi immediately ran forward to offer advice.

"Stephen, try to keep Dirk out of the ball or out of the screen early."

Curry nodded after hearing this, and adopted Sun Yi's suggestion.

Immediately, he quickly ran to the baseline to catch the ball and advance.

This time the Warriors attack, they still attack the opponent's defensive weakness.

This time, Sun Yi played Terry in a mismatched position, which was considered a courtesy.

Sun Yi received the pass, pulled it up, ignored Terry's interference, and hit a mid-range jumper, which indirectly caused a bad temper for the primary school student.

Looking back, the Mavericks continued to play the pick-and-roll.

Curry followed Sun Yi's suggestion and went around the screen in advance, giving Kidd enough space to shoot.

Jibu Gong knew that his three-point shooting ability was unreliable, so he passed the ball without trying.

Butler received the pass, started quickly, broke through to the mid-range area on the right, and hit a jump shot, showing his value.

Immediately afterwards, Ellis broke into the inside with the ball, but Haywood interfered with the layup and failed to score.

The Mavericks protected the backcourt rebounds and launched a defensive counterattack.

Kidd's long pass finds Terry on a fast break.

After Terry received the ball, he quickly came to the three-point line, and directly chased and shot a three-pointer.

At this moment, Sun Yi suddenly came out from Terry's side and waved his arm to hit the basketball that had just been released.

Clap!
The rising basketball was shot out of the sideline by Sun Yi.

"Beautiful! Sun Yi arrived in a timely manner, allowing the Mavericks' offense to end without a problem." Barkley explained.

On the court, the Mavericks sent a sideline ball, and Kidd received the ball and went to the three-point line to reorganize the offense.

Other Mavericks players quickly set up off-ball screens to create mismatches.

The Warriors have two defensive weaknesses on the outside, making it very easy to cause mismatches.

In this round, Nowitzki faced Ellis in a misplaced position, took off and shot directly after receiving the ball.

It didn't help that Ellis rushed to interfere.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

When the Warriors were on the bench, Nelson saw the scene on the field and immediately replaced Lagabel to improve the defense.

After the substitution adjustment, the effect was good, so that the Mavericks could not score easily.

Mavericks head coach Carlisle saw this situation and immediately made substitution adjustments.

He knows how to take date pills against the Warriors.

In the following games, the two sides increased their defensive intensity, making the game process either black or black, which made the fans drowsy.

At the end of the first quarter, the score on the big screen was 25-20, with the Warriors leading by 5 points.

The intermission is over and the second quarter begins.

The lineup sent by the Warriors is: Ellis, Morrow, Maggette, Sun Yi, Toliver.

Mavericks sent the lineup: Barea, Stevenson, Marion, Nowitzki, Dampier.

The second quarter started and the Mavericks took the lead.

Barea dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Seeing Dampier actively blocking the ball inside, he hesitated and passed the ball.

After receiving the ball, Dampier stuck his butt back and hit Tolliver with his back.

But after pushing for a few times, he found that Tolliver's lower plate was too stable and could not be pushed at all, so he could only turn around and use his height advantage to throw.

Clang!
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed!
Under the basket, Sun Yi easily grabbed the rebound, quickly dribbled toward the frontcourt, and launched a defensive counterattack.

In the transition stage of offense and defense, Ellis received a pass from Sun Yi and hit a jumper against Barea's defense.

The Mavericks hit the baseline quickly, and Barea dribbled to the three-point line and passed the ball to Nowitzki near the free throw line.

After receiving the ball, the German chariot immediately held the basketball high, for fear of being cut by Sun Yi.

On the other side, Dampier ran forward to provide an off-ball screen for Stevenson, feinting to attract the defense.

Marion understood this and suddenly started to get rid of Maggette's defense. He quickly cut towards the basket, received Nowitzki's pass, and flew for a layup.

Maggette was a little annoyed and raised his hand to indicate that it was his fault. Then he picked up the basketball on the ground, quickly exited the baseline, and served the ball.

After receiving the ball, Sun Yi quickly sprinted forward.

The Mavericks were well prepared and retreated very quickly, preventing the Warriors from setting up a fast break.

Falling into positional warfare, Sun Yi came to the top of the arc and directed his teammates to run.

Under the command of Sun Yi, the Warriors used the "elevator door" tactic.

Morrow ran to the right side of the three-point line, received Sun Yi's pass, and hit a three-pointer.

It was the Mavericks' turn to attack. With the help of Dampier's screen, Barea quickly rushed into the penalty area and scored with a flying layup, recovering 2 points.

Looking back, the Warriors once again used the "elevator door" tactic.

This time Morrow missed a three-point shot and failed to continue his offensive firepower.

The Mavericks protected the rebound and launched a defensive counterattack.

Barea quickly dribbled forward, came out of the three-point line and made a change of direction in front of his body, shook Ellis and rushed straight to the basket.

Sun Yi saw this situation, let go of his defender, and immediately rushed back to the basket to defend.

Barea came to the basket and saw no one guarding him, so he flew for a layup.

At the same time, Sun Yi jumped up after him, stretching his arms to pat the rising basketball.

Clap!
Nail board big hat!

The rebounding basketball was snatched by Maggette, who followed up. He immediately found Ellis and passed the ball.

After receiving the pass, Ellis started to dribble the ball at the fastest speed. After running halfway, seeing his teammates have an opportunity, he immediately passed the ball.

Morrow, who was on a fast break, received the pass. Seeing no one in front of him, he chased and shot a three-pointer without hesitation.

"Shh!"

The basketball crashed into the net and made a steady hit!
On the Mavericks bench, coach Carlisle had a headache seeing the situation on the court.

Both the starting lineup and the rotation lineup can't beat the Warriors, so why win? !
Immediately, he requested a timeout and called the players back to the bench to adjust.
