Chapter 67

There were boos all over the court, and Nowitzki went to the free throw line.

Taking advantage of the referee's arrangement, Su Yang waved towards the field, and Jack ran to the field and stood beside him with his hips.

"Before the All-Star Game, we played against the Nets twice. After the All-Star Game, we played against the Mavericks once. We won two of them. The main reason for the victory was against Kidd on the offensive end. You will know how to do it later? "

"I know, I know." Jack nodded with a smile, "Hit Kidd, hit Kidd..."

Su Yang patted Jack on the shoulder with satisfaction, Jack turned around and walked to the left wing to stand still, and the free throws were made simultaneously.

The pre-match video meeting also mentioned targeting Kidd. This time, it was repeatedly emphasized to avoid forgetting, because the two teams are switching offense and defense, and many positional tactics cannot be perfectly executed, requiring a lot of small cooperation. Playing Kidd is the best choice.

After two swishes, Nowitzki easily hit the first two free throws, and players from both teams prepared to deal with the third free throw.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Cheers broke out in the arena, Frye kicked off the ground to grab the ball with both hands, turned around and threw it to the left wing.

Jack received the ball and pushed forward, leading the 45-degree area of ​​the frontcourt in three seconds, and cooperated with Adelaide in trailing screens.

Perhaps because he knew that Kidd couldn't defend against speed-type point guards, and had already made arrangements, Nowitzki stepped up and switched defenses without hesitation, trying to delay Jack's breakthrough speed. Kidd also retreated to bypass the screen and strode after Jack.

For a while, the Mavericks had no one to take care of Adelaide.

Jack rushed to the top of the arc with the ball, suddenly stopped and jumped, twisted in the air and threw the ball to the left wing.

Adelaide received the ball wide open, seeing Dampier coming to make up the defense, he gave up the tentative step directly and pulled up the rush shot.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Frye jumped up at the basket, easily grabbed the rebound above Kidd's head, and immediately jumped again to put the basket on the ground.

Unexpectedly, Nowitzki blocked the block from behind him, slapped the basketball off, and the referee whistled at the same time.

"Whoa? WTF?" Cuban yelled from the audience, annoyed at calling on Nowitzki.

Hearing the sound, Su Yang turned his head to look at the Mavericks' bench, and found that Avery Johnson was not that excited.

Blocking shots from behind is indeed easy to foul, mainly infringing on the cylinder, and it is also easy to cause injuries to unprepared offensive players. Therefore, the NBA has always been stricter in whistleblowing and punishing behind-the-backs, which indirectly contributed to Manu's behind-the-back Harden becoming famous.

But Avery Johnson's reaction was so calm, even deliberate, which surprised Su Yang.

"Maybe the rumors are true, Avery Johnson doesn't trust the star Dirk Nowitzki..."

While thinking about it, Frye hit the iron for the second free throw. The two teams scrambled under the basket and the basketball flew out of the sideline.

The referee whistled a violation and gave the Blazers the right to the right sideline. Su Yang immediately made tactical gestures towards the field.

The Blazers all set their positions. The moment the whistle sounded, Frye caught the ball at a 45-degree angle with the help of a cover, then turned around and brought it to the top of the arc, handing it to Jack.Unexpectedly, Kidd reached out and patted the basketball from behind, and the basketball fell to the ground.

The referee whistled again for a foul and continued to give the Blazers the right to the sideline. Cuban was so angry that he yelled a black whistle.

But the replay on the large central screen showed that Kidd made a push against the knee, and the Mavericks won if he didn't call a technical foul.

Su Yang made tactical gestures again, wondering in his heart: "Why do Mavericks always like to come from behind?"

Beep!The referee blows his whistle to count down.

With the help of Alder's cover, Frye stepped up from the baseline, received the pass at 45 degrees on the left, turned and led to the right, and after Webbers passed the ball, he strode into the field and set up a wall on the baseline. Make an off-ball screen for Alder.

Frye took the ball to the top of the arc, slammed it to Jack, who was stuck behind him, and accelerated to the basket.

That thought, Dampier did not start to catch up with Frye, but suddenly teamed up with Kidd to double-team Jack.

Jack hurriedly pulled the ball back, turned and swayed continuously, and ran towards the left half, while Adelaide went up at the same time.

Jack passed the ball in a hurry, Ade caught the ball and turned around, facing Dirk Nowitzki who was flying, and shot two points long.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

"Young man is impatient..." Su Yang thought about how to help Ade stabilize his mental state.There were still 10 seconds left when Ade made the shot just now, and he didn't realize that Frye had already got a big open. He wanted to prove himself too much, and ended up with two consecutive irons.

In the field, the Mavericks fell into position.

Kidd hit the ground and passed the ball, and Nowitzki caught the ball from the right waist and hit Adelaide with his back, skillfully hitting the board with a high shot.

The basketball rebounded and flew upside down, Webster just caught it and passed it to the rushing Jack.

There were cheers in the arena, and Jack dribbled the ball to 45 degrees on the right side of the front court in three seconds, and rushed in with the help of Adelaide.

Kidd's lateral speed was too slow, so Nowitzki could only switch defenses and intercept, and he followed Adelaide to the basket.

Seeing the situation, Su Yang yelled to remind Ade, and Jack stopped almost at the same time and passed to the basket.

Alder held up his hands, ignoring Kidd's attempt to bounce around like a penguin, and easily caught the ball.

Dampier rushed forward, and Adelaide immediately distributed the ball to Frye who was following up, and also bent his knees and backed up to get in position.

Seeing that Frye was about to dunk with both hands, Josh Howard raised his hand from behind and slapped the basketball vigorously.

Beep!The referee blew his whistle, whistled Howard for a foul, and gave Frye two free throw opportunities.

Cheers resounded in the rose garden, and Su Yang complained in his heart: "Why are you coming from the back again, what a bull."

During the complaints, the big central screen showed Frye's free throw data, averaging 1.5% of 81 shots per game.That data is basically meaningless. Frye doesn't play very much at the basket, and fouls are naturally rare. It's better to look at the three-point shooting percentage.

Two cries, two free throws went into the net, and the Blazers temporarily led 9-6.

Offensive and defensive transition, Kidd took the ball in the back court and dribbled two steps forward, observed for half a second, raised his hand and made a long pass to the center line.

Stackhouse received the ball and pushed forward with his back, pushing Roy all the way to the 45-degree three-point line on the left.

Howard ran over to screen, and Dampier was also standing at the free throw line, looking like he was going to play the hammer again.

Su Yang raised his hand to call for a reminder, but before he even opened his mouth, Stackhouse gave up his tactical move and directly crossed into the inside line, ignoring Roy who was chasing behind him, and facing Frye who was defending in front of him. , Strong layup.

boom!Fry pegboard cap.

The basketball hit the board and fell to the ground. Roy bent down to pick it up, turned around and rushed forward, and the rest of the Blazers jumped down at the same time.

Cheers erupted in the arena. The Mavericks had only two defenders in the frontcourt, while the Blazers had four offensive players in the frontcourt. There were scoring opportunities everywhere.Roy raised his hand and threw the ball to the basket, Webbers jumped up and made a strong alley-oop dunk,

"The Mavericks played a bit messy in these two rounds..."

Su Yang shook his head slightly, thinking that Carlisle would lead the team. Just now, Stackhouse dared to give up his running position and rush to the basket. Avery Johnson was lucky as a coach, and his on-the-spot command was poor. mix.

Offensive and defensive transitions on the court, the Mavericks are in the frontcourt, first find a singles opportunity for Howard.

But Webster defended well, Howard failed to get stuck, and Kidd could only implement the second choice to find Nowitzki.

Dampier ran up to do the pick-and-roll at the same time, but turned around before he could block it, and Nowitzki was double-teamed.

In a hurry, Nowitzki slumped his shoulders and rushed two steps, stopped and jumped to put the ball straight to the basket.

Dampier hesitated to catch the ball for a while, separated Adelaide with his big buttocks, jumped up fiercely and dunked with both hands to score.

The Blazers followed up with a fast break, and Jack took it to the left side of the frontcourt at 45 degrees, and asked Frye to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

Dampier stepped forward to help Kidd delay Jack, but Kidd did not switch defenses and did not command supplementary defenses.Frye rushed to the bottom line easily, raised his hand to catch the pass from Jack, and made an easy layup like playing a game training game.

"I'll go! I thought there was an overall strategy for defense, but it turns out that I just want to defend like this..."

Su Yang was a little surprised that Avery Johnson didn't make a strategy for Kidd's inability to play the speed point guard. The Mavericks' scouts and assistant coaches must have mentioned this kind of thing. Or, the Mavericks' strategy is X** defense?
While thinking about it, the Mavericks also rushed to make a fast break.

Howard took the ball at 45 degrees, took advantage of the cover to reach the free throw line, and continuously changed hands to tease Frye.

Jack bypassed the screen and rushed to catch up, and Dampier opened and slid down, but Howard didn't put the ball straight to the basket, but forced to take off against Frye's long hand block, and made a very arrogant shot with a two-pointer. Only the sound of banging boards was heard.

The basketball rebounded and flew into Roy's hands, cheers erupted in the arena, and players from the two teams started to follow up.

Roy rushed to the free throw line in the front court in a blink of an eye, faced Nowitzki with an emergency stop and jump, and made a mid-range shot in two movements.

The basketball went into the net with a bang, and Su Yang stood up and applauded, giving Roy a thumbs up.

Turning to the Mavericks to attack, Nowitzki took the ball in the right elbow for singles, and Webster went up to double-team without hesitation.

Nowitzki hurriedly passed the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line, where there was Howard at the point guard.

Jack rushed up from the left corner to cover, and Howard passed the ball to Kidd who was unguarded.

Jack hurriedly turned back to the defense, but it was too late, and Kidd took a steady aim at the basket and shot a three-pointer.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Jack took off nearby and grabbed the rebound, landed and turned around and quickly brought it to the 45-degree three-point line on the right side of the frontcourt.

As usual, Frye went forward to set up a wall to cover, and for a while, he actually attracted the defensive attention of the five Mavericks.

Seeing this, Jack motioned for an inside cut, and simultaneously raised his hand to pass the ball to the paint area, while Frye turned around and rushed.

The Mavericks' defense suddenly collapsed, and the five rushed towards Frye in unison, as if they had a grudge.

boom!Frye was knocked away.

The referee whistled Dampier for a foul and gave the Blazers a second chance to attack on the left sideline.

Seeing this, Su Yang gestured tactical gestures to remind him to play the opening RAM series again, because when the left wing kicks off, the defenders tend to ignore the far right wing, and after the screen, they can in turn disperse the left wing defense.

Of course, the key is that the Blazers' players are equipped to play, and the players can play easily.

In a blink of an eye, the referee blew his whistle to count down.

The Blazers players moved one after another, and after a lot of tossing, Roy played a pick-and-roll with Alder at 45 degrees on the left.

Perhaps worried that Roy was too fast to catch up, Nowitzki took the first step to grab, leaving a relatively large gap.

With an idea, Roy pushed the ball directly into the middle of the man's seam, staged a man's ball pass, and rushed to the free throw line in a blink of an eye.

Dampier hurriedly intercepted, Roy stopped suddenly and threw the ball, and the basketball crashed into the net with a bang.

The referee's whistle blew immediately, the Mavericks requested a timeout, and head coach Avery beckoned the team to assemble.

Cheers resounded in the arena, the Blazers led 17 to 8, and the players clapped and interacted.

Su Yang stood on the sidelines, smiling and waiting for Ade to come over, ready to solve Ade's impatient problem.
