Chapter 720 It's hard to pay for the former owner Liu Han not to let go and fight to defend the Pistons

In the NBA regular season of the 03-04 season, there is a consensus that the Mavericks who fully turn on the acceleration switch are invincible, and the continuous fast chasing and counterattack will make a defensive team collapse in a short time. The rain made all the coaches' scalps tingle. According to the current lineups of the league's teams, no team can keep up with the speed of the Mavericks.

So Mayfair Jackson's timeout was not decisive, even though the Lakers are still leading by four points.

However, what Mayfair Jackson did not expect was that the timeout did not stop the Mavericks from getting up. After Nowitzki, Odom also opened from outside the three-point line, and Liu Han also hit a three-pointer. In just four rounds After that, the Mavericks actually led the Lakers by 6 points.

The fans in the entire American Airlines Center Arena were standing and watching the game when the game entered the first quarter 6 minutes. Their inner excitement made them stand up uncontrollably, and everyone did.

"It's unbelievable. Every time I see such a scene, I wonder if I made a mistake back then. Should I also practice three-pointers? This is no longer our NBA game back then."

Barkley was also overwhelmed by the Mavericks' series of three-pointers. He never thought that three-pointers could be so passionate. When he dominated the interior, he only felt that the confrontation between muscles was the most exciting. But now he doesn't think so anymore, an attack wave like a sea wave will also make people secrete adrenaline intensely.

"Haha, Charles, the most important thing you should have done was to reduce the flesh on your butt. At that time, your body looked very uncoordinated, so you would lose your center of gravity when shooting three-pointers, haha."

Kenny Smith seized the moment to tease his partner.

Seeing that the opponent has a tendency to widen the point difference, Phil Jackson had to call a timeout again. He was originally a coach who rarely called a timeout in the game, but today he made an exception. The last time he made an exception was The period when the Lakers with Liu Han competed with the Bulls with Jordan.

Phil Jackson replaced Malone and Payton after this timeout. He felt that the team now needs more dynamic players.

But the Mavericks, who have recovered their form, can't be stopped by the half-substitute half-main lineup of the Lakers.

Liu Han took over the game in the next 4 minutes. He scored 10 points in a row from inside and outside, which brought his score in the first quarter to 15 points, and more importantly, the Mavericks adopted the zone defense After the defense, it also had a great impact on the Lakers' offense, and O'Neal was not as strong as the beginning.

At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks had opened the point difference to more than 10 points.

The beginning of the second quarter was a contest between the two teams' substitutes. Although the Lakers' substitutes had more experience, the Mavericks' substitutes were more powerful outside the three-point line. The pace of the game, if not for Derek Fisher on the Lakers bench, who suddenly emerged from the three-point line and scored 6 points in a row, maybe the Mavericks would be able to widen the point difference to 20 points in the first half of the second quarter.

After that, Phil Jackson replaced Malone and Payton, who had been resting for a long time, to control the situation. The Lakers took the opportunity to catch up with a few points, but after Liu Han returned to the court, he hit consecutive three-pointers to open the score, and the Mavericks regained control. out of the situation.

At the end of the second quarter, the Mavericks stabilized the point difference at about 15 points.

After entering the third quarter, O'Neal began to attack the inside, but Nelson told his players to send O'Neal to the free throw line as much as he wanted, so the Mavericks used the "shark-cutting tactic" against O'Neal with a 15-point lead, which made O'Neal Very depressed, every time he hits the free throw line is a kind of torment, the weight he has gained over the years has made him forget the yoga training that Li Rui gave him back then, and with the decline in free throw percentage, he is actually in the heart Li also became irritable with free throws, which exacerbated his decline in free throw percentage.

Faced with such a situation, Phil? Jackson had to replace O'Neal for a rest, and let Malone and Payton preside over the situation.

After O'Neal left the field, the Mavericks' style suddenly changed and began to play low-post storms and high-post pick-and-roll tactics, as well as Princeton tactics.

Liu Han gave up holding the ball and let Odom handle the ball. Liu Han looked for singles opportunities in the low post. Dirk Nowitzki and Odom played pick-and-rolls in the high post. It was passed to Josh Howard in the air cut. The offense of the entire Mavericks is like a kaleidoscope, so that the Lakers can't find a clue to defend. The man-to-man defense is basically the same as sending points in Liu Han. Now in the league There are no players who can defend Liu Han alone in the low post. This is the meaning of dominance.

With 3 minutes left in the third quarter, the Mavericks opened up the point difference to more than 20 points, and the Lakers were already in an extremely passive state.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers were still trying to make a last-ditch effort, but under the Mavericks' super-high shooting three-point offensive, the Lakers had almost no possibility of catching up.

With less than 5 minutes left in the game, the Lakers replaced the main force and surrendered. At this time, the Mavericks had already led the Lakers by 25 points.

120 to 97, the Mavericks beat the Lakers in the first home game. Liu Han scored a triple-double. At the same time, his 33 points were also the highest score in the game.

On the second day of the Western Conference finals, the East also had a game. On the home court of the Pacers, two defensive teams had a muscle-to-muscle collision.

The Pistons' interior defense is very strong and the Pacers' exterior defense is top-notch. Two teams with the same defensive style but with their own systems turned the game into a wrestling field.

However, compared with the Pistons, the Pacers have an advantage in the bench lineup. Their bench players scored 19 points, while the Pistons scored only 9 points off the bench, which widened the gap between the two teams.

Hamilton's off-the-ball running of the Pistons did cause some trouble for the Pacers, but that was at best a trouble, and they didn't have a solution.

Hamilton scored a game-high 23 points, while the Pacers' Jermaine O'Neal also scored 21 points in the paint, along with 14 rebounds.

Although Ben Wallace of the Pistons grabbed 22 rebounds very fiercely, his poor offense made 22 rebounds seem meaningless.

In the end, the Pacers had the last laugh in this defensive battle, 74 to 78. The scores of the two teams were less than that of the Mavericks in three quarters.
