Chapter 300 [Attack the most gorgeous team! 】
Hayes' defense is recognized by the league as excellent, but he also has a few players who are particularly troublesome to match up, one is Zach Randolph, and the other is Nowitzki.The touch of these two is too soft, as long as they are in the right shape, no matter how hard they try to defend, they can't stop them from making the ball.
But the Bobcats players don't put the Mavericks in their eyes. The Mavericks' lineup has obvious flaws. Among the five starting players in this game, Dampier has no scoring ability, and the starting point guard can only go to Antoine Wright.Wright can play both positions, but his offense is average.The veteran Kidd is a pure point guard. This season, his scoring average has dropped to less than 10 points per game, and his shooting percentage is also very poor.So the Mavericks' offensive burden falls almost entirely on the shoulders of Nowitzki alone.In this case, the Bobcats' defensive focus is very clear, and the game will definitely be much easier to play.
On the other hand, in addition to Marcus Camby's weak scoring ability, the Bobcats have strong attacking power in the other four starting players.
Anthony Morrow, George Hill, and Bargnani rested in this game.Bargnani took a game off after spraining his wrist against the Pacers.This is not a big deal, but the new medical team of the Bobcats is extra careful. Although Bargnani does not like this decision, the attending doctor Rivers insists that this is the safest.
The Bobcats are strong and strong, and Bargnani really does not need to take risks.
The atmosphere in the Bobcats locker room eased a lot.This is not to say that there are no conflicts between players. Under fierce competition, conflicts of interest between players in the same position are inevitable.It's just that they won't cause any unpleasantness at this juncture.D'Antoni has made it very clear: "If anyone is dissatisfied with the playing time and thinks that his strength can start, he can ask me, but the final decision rests with me. Of course, if someone affects the unity of the team, I will Wouldn't mind trading him out before transfer deadline."
What are you kidding about asking to be traded out of the team?The Bobcats are the biggest favorites to win the championship this season. Even if they transfer to the Lakers, the Bobcats' 15 players must weigh it in their hearts.Even if they want to transfer, they will wait until the end of this season and get a championship ring.
People who think this way include Marcus Camby and Mike Miller, two veterans.There are also Bargnani and Rondo.The contracts of these players all expire in 2010, and they have similar ideas. They all hope to transfer to a team that can get a lot of playing time next year, in order to play good statistics and earn a high-paying contract.
Others such as Anthony Morrow, George Hill, etc., although they are not doing well, they have no idea.Because they just signed.The contract is still very long, and he has not played well in the Bobcats. Even if he wants to transfer, it will be difficult to be reused by other teams.
Hayes used the opportunity of the dinner party to put all the interests of the team on the bright side. After weighing the pros and cons, the Bobcats all had their own plans and became very united internally.
The Mavericks will have a back-to-back game tomorrow, away to the powerful Hornets in the same district. The schedule is very unfavorable for them. Give up this game.He cheered his players on in the locker room.
"We were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs last season. We cannot repeat the same mistakes this season. We are aiming for the championship. In this case, we cannot be afraid of any team. Bobcats are very strong, but they lost to Without the Lakers, we can beat the Lakers, why can't we beat the Bobcats? They have nothing to fear." Johnson said loudly.
But all successful NBA head coaches, except for "Zen Master" Jackson, are good at using words to boost the morale of players.Original strength is weak, without morale, this ball cannot be played.In fact, Johnson knew very well in his heart that the Bobcats were terrible.The only two games lost.Hayes was sent off in the first game, and Hayes didn't play in the second game.When Hayes was around, it was too difficult to beat the Bobcats...
The game between the two sides begins.
Mavericks starting lineup: Jason - Kidd, Antawn - Wright, Josh - Howard, Dirk - Nowitzki, Eric - Dampier.
Bobcats starting five Tigers slightly changed: Chauncey - Billups, Kevin - Durant, Chuck - Hayes, Carl - Landry, Brook - Lopez.
D'Antoni put Gerald Wallace and veteran Camby on the bench, extravagantly.The goal of this arrangement is very clear, which is to attack the inside by force.What Dampier is most afraid of is Yao Ming, a skilled center. Although Lopez is not as good as Yao Ming, his style of play is somewhat similar, which is enough for Dampier.Landry is full of impact, and he is also the type that Nowitzki hates defense.
Lopez beat Dampier on the jump ball, Hayes caught the ball and handed it to Billups, who dribbled the ball across half court and handed it to Hayes high up in front of the three-point line.Hayes covered the basketball with his back and stood still. Durant ran past Hayes.Hayes handed the ball out casually, and Durant took advantage of the opportunity to bypass the defensive Wright and made an emergency stop jumper.
Josh Howard's defense is in place, but it is difficult for him to cover Durant.Durant starts every game and has already cast confidence.Howard's hand has been sealed to Durant's face, but he shot anyway.Hit two points steadily! 2 to 0.
The Mavericks attack, Kidd controls the rhythm to Nowitzki, and Landry follows Nowitzki.
'Isn't it too easy for them to put Landry on defense? ' thought Nowitzki, turning around with the ball.Although Landry is taller than Hayes, his inside defensive ability is not as good as Hayes, because he is not good at relying on physical confrontation to disrupt the opponent's shooting rhythm.
It won't be so easy, D'Antoni knows Landry's defensive skills best, how could he let him defend alone.Nowitzki dribbles to play himself, Durant comes up from the weak side and releases Antawn Wright.Wright's three-point shooting ability is very poor, which is equivalent to not being able to shoot three-pointers.So the Bobcats chose to let him go.Durant is afraid of strong opponents, but never afraid of tall people.Because he has speed, height, and a better wingspan than Nowitzki.
Nowitzki stopped the jumper before the two double-teamed, and Durant almost blocked the first ball.The strength of the ball was not well grasped and it went wide.Hayes grabbed the backboard.
Hayes passed to Billups, who stabilized the situation and played positional warfare. The Mavericks are very good at playing fast breaks, and they are also very experienced in defending fast breaks. Kidd stood in front of Billups, making him unable to The ball was released quickly, and the others quickly settled down, forming a zone defense.
The Bobcats made a choice they hadn't made before, and Billups and Hayes moved to the right of the three-point line together.After Billups handed the ball to Hayes, he ran to the bottom corner. Hayes lobped the ball to Lopez at a low 45-degree angle.
The three formed a triangle offense, creating a singles opportunity for Lopez.Dampier top defense behind Lopez, full of confidence.He thinks he has a strong defensive ability. Even if he can't defend against people like Yao Ming, Duncan, and Gasol, can't he be a rookie?
Lopez took the ball and squeezed his back twice, Dampier remained motionless, just when he was complacent about his toughness, Lopez shook his shoulder to the right and quickly turned to the bottom line for a jumper. Pez just threw the ball and it went in! 4 to 0.
The Mavericks attack again.This time, Nowitzki took the ball from the outside, Durant defended Nowitzki, and Wright still let go of the outside.In terms of offensive power, Wright is not much better than veteran Stackhouse.When Landry was defending, let him take more than one step and let him shoot. Wright didn't dare to shoot when he was open, and then handed it over to Kidd to reorganize.
When Billups defended Kidd, he was very tight.After all, Kidd is a super point guard. He found an open space and passed the ball to Nowitzki.After Dampier's cover, Nowitzki threw off Durant and went inside, but Lopez did not follow Dampier, and was still inside, and Landry double-teamed Nowitzki.Even though Nowitzki is known as the "King of Heaven", under the double-teaming of several big men, he missed his shot.Hayes once again scored backboards.
The Bobcats fell into battle again. This time the Bobcats gave up Lopez and Dampier one-on-one, but let Lopez pull to a high position.Cover for Hayes.Lopez's high-post jumper has become an effective weapon for the Bobcats to attack. No team dared to guard against it, so Dampier had to follow it.
Hayes dribbled the ball away from the defensive Howard, accelerated past Dampier again, and went straight to the basket.Nowitzki became the last line of defense for the Mavericks.Hayes took the ball with both hands and took two small steps. Nowitzki hurried up to block the shot. He studied Hayes' offensive style, and if he was slow to defend, Hayes would throw the shot.Nowitzki defended, Hayes still threw the ball, but it was very biased, it was a pass.Landry, who was emptied, made a two-handed alley-oop dunk. 6 to 0.
The Bobcats returned to defense immediately after the goal, preventing the Mavericks from making a quick counterattack.As long as the positional battle is lost, the Mavericks will be at a disadvantage.No matter how they used the players' previous screens, the Bobcats could rotate and double-team Nowitzki with two people.Howard, another powerful scoring point, was inseparable from Hayes' special care.
Kidd missed a three-pointer from the outside.Landry grabbed the backboard.This time, the Bobcats fought back quickly.Because Kidd relied on his teammate's pick-and-roll before the shot, Billups had a chance to get rid of Kidd. Landry grabbed the rebound and handed it to Billups.Billups passed Wright and passed to the fast-down Durant.
Durant runs to the three-point line, and there's Josh Howard in front of him.
Howard's confrontation ability is very average. Durant really wants to rush to the basket and dunk, but he heard that Howard has a lot of small movements when defending and likes to push people.When facing him, Durant still restrained a little to avoid unnecessary injuries.He observed the position of his teammates, then separated the ball from the outside line, and prepared to grab a rebound on the inside.
Hayes followed from behind, caught and shot, and hit a three-pointer! 9 to 0.
The Mavericks' offense still hasn't improved.The Mavericks, known for their gorgeous offense in the past, didn't hit the first goal until the 3rd minute.
The two teams are like teams of different grades.The main reason is the height of Bobcats players.In previous games, when the Mavericks couldn't start the situation, they would send Terry and Barea, who are good at breakthroughs, to strengthen the attack.But Terry's height is only 188CM. If he is allowed to play with Kidd, Durant's position will have a defensive loophole.Barea is even shorter, only 183cm.
The scores of the two sides quickly opened to more than 15 points.
The Bobcats' offense is sharp, mainly running back and double pick-and-roll.Lopez screened in the high post, Hayes broke through with the ball, easily got rid of Howard's defense, and the man who made up the defense became Nowitzki.Dampier left the basket, the defensive ability will be weakened.Hayes changed to take the ball, and Nowitzki kept up with Hayes.
However, the purpose of Hayes is not to break through, but to pass the ball.The big player with long legs has a disadvantage, that is, the gap between the legs is relatively large. Hayes looked to the left, and passed the ball with one hand to the basket from under Nowitzki's crotch.Landry provided a screen for Billups without the ball on the bottom line. Billups easily got rid of Dampier with his speed, caught the ball at the basket and scored with a backhand.
39 to 22, the Bobcats opened the score in just one quarter.Cuban stomped his feet angrily on the sidelines.After changing so many players, the strength of the Mavericks has a downward trend, and he began to be dissatisfied with coach Johnson.Now the league's most gorgeous offensive team is the Bobcats!
