·
Zhuan Zhu
Barkley analyzed: "The defensive strategies of both sides are very similar at the beginning, that is, to double-team the scoring core. Chen is on the Suns side, and Dirk is on the Mavericks side. The difference is that Chen has already scored 5 points, and Dirk has not yet scored. credit."
Kenny Smith said: "Chen entered the game faster than Dirk. Dirk is still looking for his touch. He will encounter a lot of double-teams every game. The strength of defense can't limit him. Dirk wants to open his scoring account. Look at how you feel."
Carlisle didn't give any instructions. He believed in Nowitzki and planned to let the players adjust themselves.
Nuo Tianwang didn't use shooting to find his touch. His character is not as stubborn as Kobe.
Nuo Tianwang dropped the low post to attract double-teams and then released the ball. Old Hill shrank and couldn't save it, and Artest made a jumper.
7:5.
Nash quickly threw the ball to Dior on the baseline, who took the ball and sent it out quickly, and Nash held the ball and pushed forward.
Although the Suns took the lead at the start, their rhythm was not fast enough. Nash deliberately raised his speed.
After the pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, Nash dribbled the ball in with his left hand.
After the Mavericks switched defenses, they chose to close in on the inside, and Nash made a slightly receding mid-range jumper.
"Shh!"
Basketball hollow into the net.
9:5.
The Mavericks attacked, and the Suns defended a 2-1-2 zone defense.
This kind of zone defense players is relatively evenly distributed, easy to cooperate with each other, and conducive to rebounding and launching quick counterattacks. It is a zone defense formation that the Suns like very much.
But this sincerity also has flaws, that is, the two outside defensive players stand on the left and right sides, and the front of the three-point line is easy to be empty. The 30°-45° area and the basket are also weak areas for defense.
Kidd dribbled to the top of the three-point arc and had a chance to shoot, but he didn't shoot rashly. Although he had a three-pointer in the previous rounds, Kidd had a clear understanding of his three-point ability, and he would not shoot if he could not. .
Kidd dribbled to the wing to stop the ball, and Ray Allen circled to the top of the arc.
After receiving the ball, Ray Allen and Antoine White played a pick-and-roll cooperation, and then went left.
Facing Dior's defense, Ray Allen changed his mind and rushed in.
Lei Allen's speed and explosive power were not as good as when he was young, and Chen Yan took advantage of his change of direction and slowed down to go around the cover and chase after him.
Ray Allen made a shot under the interference of the two, and the ball went a little too far, hitting the board and popping out.
However, Antoine White was very motivated, and after a timely follow-up, he picked up a missed shot and made a tip-up.
9:7.
The sun served and Nash continued to advance quickly.
This time the tempo was faster than the previous round, hitting the ground near the middle circle and giving the ball to Chen Yan at the bottom line.
Artest got stuck on the bottom line at the first time and didn't give him a chance to hit the basket. This approach is very experienced. As long as Chen Yan can't rush up at the first time, the Mavericks players can quickly settle down and reorganize the formation.
Chen Yan didn't wipe it in for the first time, and he slowed down as expected.
The five Mavericks returned to the defense at once, and Chen Yan dribbled the ball with his left hand and waited for his teammates.
Nash took the initiative to step forward to cover for Chen Yan.
Chen Yan dribbled a step outward, misplaced Kidd, then backhanded the ball back to Nash, and then ran to the low post by himself.
Nash took a step sideways, pulled to a 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, and then hit the ground to Chen Yan, who was in an important position.
The rest of the Suns players were on the other side, watching Chen Yan and Nash play duets.
After several rounds of teaching, Chen Yan began to play Kidd with his back.
Although not as strong as Kidd, Chen Yan's back-up footsteps are excellent, and he has a turnaround jump shot. Kidd dared not push his strength, and Chen Yan sat all the way to the edge of the penalty area.
Artest also only dared to receive the elbow position, and did not dare to double-team Chen Yan wantonly, because after the misplacement, he put Nash, a man with a three-point shooting rate of more than 45% all the year round.
This is the advantage of having strong teammates around you. Even if they don't do anything, just go there, they can help you share the offensive pressure.
Kidd began to push hard, and if Chen Yan was allowed to go further, he would be able to put the basket directly.
Nuo Tianwang also came up from the center line, ready to put pressure on Chen Yan.
Chen Yan received the ball suddenly, turning his right foot to the center line.
Turn around very fast, drilled between Kidd and Nowitzki.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Yan jumped up and lightly threw his left hand!
The action was done in one go, and the two points were easily credited.
11:7.
Kidd didn't even have the desire to take off the ball, and Chen Yan was above him in terms of height, wingspan and bounce speed.
"Beautiful turn! Dirk wanted to pinch, but he obviously underestimated Chen's turn speed." Kenny - Smith said.
"The best way to double-team Chen is when he's holding the ball. Once he moves, the difficulty of double-teaming will be greatly improved." Barkley said.
The Mavericks attack, Kidd and Antoine - White hit the pick-and-roll with the ball after hitting the ground.
The pass was beautiful, with just the right amount of lead. Unfortunately, Antoine White was not the jumper he had worked with before. In the end, he couldn't get up and missed the layup.
After Chen Yan protected the rebound, he quickly counterattacked and passed it back to Nash from the three-point line.
After receiving the ball, Nash first feinted and then quickly dropped the ball.
"Snapped!"
Kidd saw through Nash's fake action and poked the ball ahead of time.
Nash is very stable, but that doesn't mean he won't make mistakes.
Antoine White, who came back from the offensive frontcourt, just picked up the basketball. Nash made a pounce. Quickly scored two points in the frontcourt.
11:9.
The two sides started the score very tightly.
The sun was not in a hurry to serve, and Nash, who had just fallen to the ground, hadn't stood up yet.
Chen Yan and Stoudemire hurried back to Lanash, and Nash indicated that his back felt unwell and he had to lie down for a while.
All Suns fans are concerned, Nash's back injury is old, and Nash has been out for a while due to a back injury in the middle of this season.
The team doctor hurried forward to inquire about Nash's condition, and the assistant coach evacuated the surrounding teammates to ensure that Nash had enough air.
After the close-up of Nash, the camera gave Chen Yan a close-up.
If Nash is off, all the pressure will fall on Chen Yan alone.
Fortunately, Nash quickly stood up on his own, and it seemed that there was nothing serious, but just to be on the safe side, D'Antoni replaced him first and took a rest, and Barea replaced Nash.
Barea kept blowing into his fists, looking ready to go.
Barea is a veteran of the Mavericks. Usually players will work extra hard when facing their old clubs. This is a way for players to prove themselves.
The game restarts.
Barea asked for a cover at the top of the arc and then went in. Dior's screen failed to catch Kidd, and Kidd bypassed Dior to catch up with Barea again.
Regardless, Barea relied on Kidd to force the opponent to foul and get two free throw opportunities. He and Nash are two players with different styles. Barea's desire for the basket is much stronger than Nash.
Barea missed the first free throw, and the hand was not hot just after playing.
The second free throw was made.
12:9.
In the offensive round of the Mavericks, Ray Allen finally opened.
Lei Allen ran continuously and used the off-ball screen to catch the ball from outside. Chen Yan bypassed the screen and quickly threw himself in front of Lei Allen.
Lei Allen tapped lightly, shook Chen Yan away, took a step forward, and hit a high jumper.
12:11.
Chen Yan tried his best on this ball. If he didn't pounce on Ray Allen, there would be room for a three-point shot. It's better for an assassin like Ray Allen to shoot two points than three points.
The Suns attack, and after Barea dribbles through half court, the players guide the ball to each other on the outside.
The Suns' offensive fluency did drop a notch after Nash left the court.
Chen Yan circled to the top of the arc and was about to break the game with a single. As soon as he caught the ball, the Mavericks' attack came up.
After Nash left the field, they attacked Chen Yan even more unscrupulously. The Mavericks didn't want Chen Yan to drive the defense off the line by breaking through, so as to help his teammates score.
Chen Yan played the ball in time and played very reasonably.
After receiving the ball, Barea accelerated to the basket, turned away from Kidd and rushed to the basket with a very fast speed and full of energy!
Before the Mavericks went off the line to defend, he had already pulled the bar and made a layup.
14:11.
Barea knew he wouldn't be on the court for long, so he unleashed his energy without reservation.
Chen Yan and Barea high-fived to show encouragement. He needed such hard work from his teammates.
Mavs offensive round.
At 6 minutes and 22 seconds into the first quarter of the game, Dirk Nowitzki scored the first goal of the night.
After halftime, Kidd gave the ball to Nuo Tianwang who was on the right side, and then everyone emptied the right side to help Nuo Tianwang create an attacking space.
Kidd stood outside the three-point line at the top of the arc, and Barea put Kidd two steps in strict accordance with D'Antoni's deployment, guarding near the free throw line, ready to pinch Nowitzki at any time.
Nowitzki also had an insight into the situation on the court, and after two tentative steps, he shot directly against Dior's defense.
"Shh!"
The basketball fell into the net after drawing a high parabola. The arc of the ball was very high, as if it had been hoisted in.
This is the most incomprehensible place for Nowitzki. Even if the defense is not out of position, even if the defender's hand is on his face, he can still send the ball into the net.
The sun made a quick serve, and this round the ball was directly served to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan drove straight into the penalty area, attracted the defense and then split the ball in the air.
Barea received a three-pointer from the top of the arc and quickly transferred it to Stoudemire.
At this time, the defensive players were all attracted by Chen Yan, and Stoudemire got an open chance.
This is his sweet spot, but Stoudemire still can't grasp it.
Even Barkley couldn't help sighing after watching it, how many games will it take this guy to get used to the pair of goggles on his face?
After Kidd grabbed the rebound, he advanced halfway.
Kidd's rebounding ability is the only one among point guards. At the age of 36, he can still grab 7 rebounds per game, which is better than some forwards.
Kidd passes the ball to Nowitzki on the left.
Still the same routine as last round, all the Mavericks cleared one side to create singles opportunities for Nowitzki.
Barea is still jumping back and forth between the free throw line and the three-point line, looking as if he is going to come over and steal at any time.
Nowitzki leans on Diaw and takes a step off the ball.
This time Nowitzki was testing, he didn't make any effort, and his eyes were fixed on Kidd, who was three points away from the top of the arc.
At the moment Barea accelerated to grab the ball, Nowitzki stepped up his shot, then turned to the bottom corner, and then turned over and leaned back.
"Shh!"
Enter again!
14:13.
Dio was dumbfounded.
How to prevent this?
Nowitzki's consecutive scoring put pressure on the Suns. Barea reached out for the ball just after halftime, ready to find a way to return one.
One step outside the three-point line, Chen Yan waved his hand to call for Dior's cover.
The Mavericks switched defenses in time, Antoine White stood in front of Chen Yan, and Artest followed Chen Yan after squeezing out the screen.
Facing the upcoming double-team, Chen Yan raised his hand and scored a super long three-pointer without hesitation!
The fans stood up one after another, and the Suns bench also collectively extended three fingers.
"Shh!"
The next second the Nets exploded!
17:13.
High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods, and efficient scoring often only requires simple offensive methods.
Shooting is always the easiest and most direct way to break double teams.
Kenny Smith said: "Chen entered the game faster than Dirk. Dirk is still looking for his touch. He will encounter a lot of double-teams every game. The strength of defense can't limit him. Dirk wants to open his scoring account. Look at how you feel."
