NBA: Defensive master, averaging five doubles per game

Soon, the semifinals G1 arrived, and at the American Airlines Center, the home of the Mavericks, the Texas Civil War that Texas fans were concerned about was about to begin!

【Mavericks starters】

Point guard: Steve Nash

Scoring Guard: Michael Finley

Small Forward: Long Fei

Power Forward: Dirk Nowitzki

Center: Eric Danpier

[Rockets Starter]

Point Guard: David Wesley

Scoring Guard: Tracy McGrady

Small Forward: Bob Soula

Power Forward: Ryan Bowen Center: Da Yao

Compared to the regular season, the Rockets have made some minor adjustments to their lineup in the playoffs, and they have used Ryan Bowen

, who is only 203 tall, to play the No. 4 position, and Bob Sura, who is 197 tall, to the No. 3 position.

It can be said that the height of the entire Rockets team has dropped a lot, but considering that Da Yao, who is 226 tall, sits on the inside, in fact, as long as Da Yao does not go out, the frame and rebounds are completely sufficient.

And the purpose of reducing other positions is also obvious, which is to target the Mavericks' projection, which can be guarded out at all times.

Obviously, the Rockets have done a lot of research and preparation for the Mavericks, and although they lost to the Mavericks three times in the regular season, they still have the confidence to defeat their opponents!

After all, they have a two-time scoring champion like Maddy, and more importantly, they have the league's No. 1 center, Da Yao!

......

With the referee's whistle, the game began!

Da Yao, who has a huge height advantage, won the jump ball without any suspense, winning the first wave of offensive ball possession for the Rockets.

......

The Dallas fans at the scene all stood up and cheered for the home team.

At this time, they were still talking and laughing, and they were very relaxed, after all, in their opinion, the strength of the Mavericks was greater than that of the Rockets, and there should be no problem in qualifying.

In this way, the topic of their discussion was on Long Fei.

"You say, can Long Fei restrain

Maddie?" "In the regular season, the Mavericks and Rockets played four times, and Maddy averaged 17 points per game, while he averaged 28 points per game this season, so he can definitely limit

it!" "I don't know what tactics the Rockets will use to liberate Maddie, but I believe that with Long Fei's ability, he will think of a way to resolve it!"

......

The focus of the fans is on the confrontation between Maddie and Long Fei, after all, in the regular season, Maddie was locked by Long Fei, and the Mavericks won it easily.

The only game that lost was due to Long Fei's foul trouble, which allowed Maddie to score 25 points, and finally the Mavericks lost to the Rockets.

It is not difficult to see from this that Maddie's play is the barometer of this group of matchups against the Rockets.

And whether Long Fei can continue to lock up Maddie is the key to the Mavericks' victory.

......

Fans talk about the fact that the Rockets have scored a goal.

As soon as they came up, they hit the ball under the basket and hit it into Da Yao's hands.

As for Da Yao, taking advantage of his huge height advantage to bully Dampier, he was simply caught.

This is the Rockets' usual opening routine, and if they don't wrap up, there is almost no one in this league who can limit Da Yao one-on-one under the basket.

It is equivalent to saying that this kind of score is destined to be given.

0：2

......

The Mavericks attacked, and the fans cheered and cheered on the home team.

Nash dribbled the ball across the front court, played a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki, and passed the ball to the latter.

The Rockets' defender, Ryan Bowen, who is only 203 tall, immediately topped up, although he was 10 centimeters shorter than Nowitzki, but at this time, Ryan Bowen took advantage of his lower center of gravity to keep "attacking" Nowitzki's lower handicap, and choked the breakthrough route, not giving him a chance to grind inside.

Nowitzki did not hesitate, he just opened his hand and shot, and used his height and shooting accuracy to hit the opponent's weakness.

Da Yao protected the rebound, then handed the ball to Wesley and pushed it slowly.

......

It was another defensive round, and Long Fei followed Maddie closely, and wherever he ran, Long Fei followed.

The opponent gave Maddie a no-ball cover, and Long Fei deftly squeezed or bypassed the screen, but he was still as focused as usual and did not give Maddie a chance to catch the ball easily.

"Ding, reasonable follow-up, morale

+2" "Ding, reasonable running, morale +2"

......

But on the Rockets' side, Maddie didn't seem to be about to get the ball as soon as he came up, he was making some moves on the perimeter to achieve the purpose of containing Long Fei.

......

The Rockets' idea at the beginning of the game is indeed like this!

One of the major policies in their strategy for tonight's game is to try to avoid dragon flying in the main offensive area.

In other words, whoever Long Fei opposes, he will not attack, and even pull out of the edge of the entire system.

I have to say that Long Fei's DPOY is still very deterrent

......

! Again, the Rockets hit the ball to the basket, Dampier was unwilling to be humiliated and defended toughly!

But after all, his ability is limited, and there is a huge gap in talent, and if he forcibly defends, he can only be fouled by the referee.

Da Yao walked to the free throw line and made 2 of 2 free throws.

0：4

......

Although the start was behind, the Mavericks fans didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and they still talked and laughed and seemed very relaxed.

The Mavericks attacked, and Finley's three-point shot was still iron.

As Xi is customary at the Mavericks' home court, fans will stand up and cheer on the home team at the beginning of the game until the home team scores their first goal.

Now that the opening two goals were missed, the fans still had to stand, but it seemed that their enthusiasm had not diminished in the slightest!

Obviously, this is the charm of the team's previous successive individual accolades, almost creating NBA award history.

......

The Rockets attacked, and the ball was still in the hands of Da Yao under the basket, and this time the Mavericks no longer amplified Yao bullying Dampier under the basket, and Nowitzki's bag arrived immediately.

In this case, Da Yao had no choice but to choose to play the ball.

But the strange thing is that Maddie, as the "Yao Mai Combination" of the Rockets, should have actively covered through his teammates to get the ball at this time and take on the responsibility of offense.

But he didn't move on the outside.

Da Yao gave the ball to Ryan Bowen, who in turn passed to Bob Sula and had an open shot.

But unfortunately it didn't make a hit.

Nowitzki protects the rebound in the backcourt.

The Mavericks fans who were standing on the scene began to cheer again!

"It seems that we are a little slow to heat up tonight, but it doesn't matter, the Mavericks coaching staff is not iron-clad, they will cover Da Yao, and if they can prevent it, then they are not afraid." "

What is Maddie doing? Is this not catching the ball?Is it afraid of our Long Fei?hahaha!"

"The emotional Mavericks are hiding from Long Fei and fighting, is this the deterrent power of DPOY!"

......

Mavericks fans are still very happy and relaxed, but they don't realize that the pace of the whole game has been slowed down by the Rockets, which is definitely not a good sign for the Mavericks!
