Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight

The Mavericks' starting five can be said to be very strange, point guard Nash, shooting guard Finley, small forward Adrian Griffin, power forward Walter Williams, and center Dirk!

That's right, the Mavericks' 12-game winning streak was achieved with Nowitzki playing center.

Because the team's main center Reeve LaFrentz was injured and absent, Nelson started his crazy experiment, letting Nowitzki play the fifth position, and he played the fast whirlwind to perfection.

As expected, Nowitzki was blown away on the defensive end.

But does Nelson care? not give a damn about.

Because this lineup can allow the Mavericks to score more points on the opponent's head!

Take the last game as an example. Yao Ming and Francis both scored 20+ points efficiently. Even someone like Yasuko, who insists on playing basketball despite his innate IQ, can score 16 points on the Mavericks.

The Bulls' offense is actually best like this.

But the Mavericks relied on Nowitzki's astonishing 42 points in a single game to clearly arrange the Bulls.

This extreme style of play caught most teams off guard and didn't know how to defend, so the Mavericks went on a 12-game winning streak.

A real man just wants to attack!

Cuban even believed for a time that LaFrentz's injury actually removed a shackles from Nelson.

Now, he can do things openly that others dare not do.

Euphemistically called: Our main center is injured, and I can't do anything about it.

It's like a middle-aged man who sees his wife and children returning to her parents' home for a few days. On the surface, he is reluctant to leave, but in fact he is very happy in his heart.

The Mavericks' crazy offense and the Pistons' previous terrible defense simply put every team in the league into trouble.

The two heavens of ice and fire.

Now, these two teams are finally going to kill each other, and the rest of the league is loving it.

Now, let you also taste the feeling of being tortured by each other!

Li Ang took a look at the Mavericks' starting lineup. It was the same as the previous 12 games. They really didn't defend.

Nash himself is a big colander, Walter Williams at the fourth position is too short and light, and Nowitzki has never been a very good defender.

so.

Carlisle's strategy might actually work!

The Pistons' starting lineup is the same as in the previous games, with Okur replacing the injured Ben, and the other four players remain unchanged.

In fact, Li Ang hopes that Prince can replace Michael Curry. Under this tactic, Prince can exert greater energy than the old Michael.

But Carlisle has his own persistence, and he still doesn't trust a first-year rookie.

If there were no other options, Okur, who is also a first-year player, would never be able to start.

At the beginning of the game, Okur won the first offensive ball from Nowitzki.

As for defense, Nelson doesn't have many requirements for this Mavericks.

After Li Ang attacked, he discovered that it was not Nowitzki who was defending him, but Walter Williams.

Walter Williams was the No. 7 rookie in 1992, but due to injuries he did not fully realize his talent. At his peak, he was only at 16+5+2.

Now coming to Dallas, Walter Williams' role can be summed up in one word - 3D.

From beyond the three-point line, Walter Williams shot nearly 40%.

In addition, his style on the court is also very tough and he is not afraid of confrontation on the defensive end.

Nelson would not foolishly let Nowitzki face off against Leon. In his opinion, this was a pure waste of physical energy.

Normally, when the Pistons attack, the ball passes through the hands of Leon, Hamilton and Billups.

The ball has to be rotated in their hands, and it is rare for someone to play directly in isolation.

It seems that the Pistons' offensive routine is the same as before.

The on-site commentator couldn't help but joke: "Although Ben Wallace's absence has a great impact on the Pistons' defense, on the offensive end, the Pistons are almost the same as before hahahaha."

Watching the big book on TV:

If I were here, I would have to piston your head into your ass to let you know what a piston is!

My super center, who averages nearly 7.6 points per game, is being said so badly by you?

Do you know what it means to average 7.6 points per game in the NBA?

I am an integral part of the team's offense!

Nelson agrees with this.

Big Ben is indeed an indispensable part. Without Big Ben now, the Mavericks' defense can no longer be four or five, which is really a pity.

Just when everyone thought the Pistons' offense would continue to spin in the hands of Billups and the other three, Billups passed the ball directly to Li Ang.

Then Hamilton stopped moving, and Okur stopped picking and rolling.

The remaining four members of the team stood outside the three-point line, watching Li Ang holding the ball alone.

Because Okur also had a three-pointer, Nowitzki had to follow.

For a moment, there was only Walter Williams between Li Ang and the basket!

Li Ang began to alternately dribble with his right hand, while Williams lowered his center of gravity and lifted his trouser legs.

Li Ang? It seems to be very popular this year. I want to see what you, a young man, are capable of!

"Whoosh!"

Williams only felt a gust of wind blowing, and Li Ang "disappeared".

Turning his head again, Li Ang had already broken into the three-second zone.

Williams' defense is of the same nature as Laoyu's.

You can't say they don't defend well, and you can't say he's just pretending.

They are indeed not afraid of confrontation and are active in defense.

I think back then, Laoyu was able to handle James on the defensive end.

However, they all move very quickly laterally.

Unless you rush towards him in a straight line, he basically can't stop you.

But then again, no serious basketball player would rush towards the defender in a straight line.

Li Ang just made a slight change of direction and easily passed Williams.

Then, under the watchful eyes of all the fans, he performed a 180° back dunk.

"Hey, this Li Ang does have two brushes!" Williams exclaimed.

Dallas fans were a little surprised, because before the game started, no one thought that the first scorer would be the Pistons, who started on defense.

Everyone thought that the Pistons would bring the Mavericks' offense to their own level, and then use their rich fighting experience to defeat them.

Seeing that Li Ang's attack was so easy, Carlisle nodded with relief.

Of course, the first round doesn't mean much.

Today's game will never be as easy as the previous game against the Jazz.

This will be a protracted battle!

After all, if you want to win against Karl Malone's team, you only need to have the right skills, but it's different if you want to win against Dirk's team.

Although Li Ang showed off a back dunk as soon as he came up, there was no reaction from the Mavericks generals.

There wasn't even a slight change in expression.

This made Li Ang a little embarrassed.

no

Don’t you have anything to express your feelings about?

For example, "Damn, that's so fast" or "Damn, what a cool dunk."

I'm so embarrassed when you don't respond at all!

What do men fear most? I'm afraid that if you use it hard for a long time, there will be no reaction at all.

If the other party adds "It's gone" at this time, my dear, this is enough to make a man's self-esteem collapse directly!

The Mavericks used their strength to explain what it means as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

"Chauncy, what happened to my dunk just now?" Li Ang panicked and couldn't help asking Billups.

"It's nothing?"

"Then it's like they didn't see it."

Li Ang was simply overly worried. The Mavericks' lack of reaction was not because there was something wrong with his dunk, but because the Mavericks were used to it.

As the saying goes, attack with a kaleidoscope, and defend with a million people.

The Mavericks get stabbed like this countless times every night, and they no longer feel the loss of points.

Isn’t it just losing points? It won’t matter if you lose another 100 points!

It’s up to us to compete with who scores more points.

The Mavericks' offense started quickly, and Li Ang was nervously prepared.

There's nothing difficult about scoring goals. What's really difficult is stopping the Mavericks from scoring.

However, before Li Ang could realize what was happening, he saw Dirk beating Okur.

In the blink of an eye, Nowitzki broke through Okur and then entered the penalty area for a layup.

Damn, you're still called a serious power forward?

The Mavericks offense is very fast and everything happens in a split second.

Carlisle curled his lips. Only the mad scientist Old Nelson could use this tactic.

Li Ang finally understood why the Mavericks' offense had no defensive routines.

Because their offense has no routine at all!

It's all run and gun. Nelson's run and gun is completely different from D'Antoni's run and gun in the future.

Although D'Antoni also ran and bombed, the Suns played in a methodical manner.

Once there is an opportunity to attack, the two shooters will first pull to the side, and the two inside players will go straight into the middle. If the attack fails, the team quickly switches to a V-shaped attack and starts a pick-and-roll.

To put it bluntly, D'Antoni's running and rushing is fast and not chaotic.

Nelson's running and gunning emphasizes speed and freedom.

After getting the ball, all five of them rushed forward for me. If they had the chance, they would directly pursue the three-pointer. If they didn't have the chance, they would just watch the singles.

What he often tells his players is: "Don't think so much when attacking, give full play to your talents!"

According to martial arts novels, this is called winning without a move but with a move.

The outside world calls this kind of attack "Freedom for All", which translated into Chinese is an accelerated version of blind attack.

Because of this, it is also a run-and-gun game. Nash was the MVP in the Solar System, but he was only a second-rate point guard at best in the Mavericks.

Because of Nash's ability to distribute the ball since the Suns, Nash's ability has been fully demonstrated under D'Antoni.

The Mavericks are unlikely to be able to unleash Nash's full potential. After all, rather than distributing the ball, Nelson needs players who can shoot three-pointers and play in isolations with the ball.

This round was very typical. All five players from the Mavericks rushed forward. The Pistons' defense had not yet formed. Dirk immediately hit the opportunity when he saw the opportunity.

There is no need to move, no need to wait for teammates, and no need to talk too much.

The fast and free attack will really make the opponent unable to attack on the defensive end.

But again, the stability is definitely not enough. There is no fixed offense, it depends purely on the player's condition.

It's just that in the last 12 games, the Mavericks have had someone step up and win in almost every game.

In the last game, Dirk scored 40+, and when Dirk was in poor condition in the previous game, Finley contributed another 40+.

So so far, no team has been able to defeat the Mavericks.

Li Ang has also realized how scary the Mavericks are on the offensive end. Now it seems that even with my senior brother here, the defense may be very difficult.

Fortunately, Carlisle didn't let everyone continue to be on guard today.

Next, he wanted to see Li Ang's second attack.

Amid the cheers of the Mavericks fans, the Pistons attacked for the second time.

Billups was still the same as in the previous round, handing over the ball directly after halftime, and then he and his three other teammates stepped aside.

There is still only one Williams standing between Li Ang and the basket.

Obviously, this is not the Pistons' usual offense.

Old Nelson smiled excitedly. He didn't expect that stubborn guy Carlisle to have such courage and dare to attack him!

That's right, attack.

Carlisle's way to deal with the Mavericks is to shoot all over the place!

As a coach who emphasizes defense and positional warfare, Carlisle actually really doesn't want to play like this.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Ben's injury caused the Pistons' defensive system to almost collapse. The original path must not be taken anymore, and the only way is to prepare a transition plan.

Carlisle thought for a long time, and finally there was only one way to maximize the power of the remaining players, and that was to shoot four stars.

In the current situation, it is definitely impossible to defeat the Mavericks on defense.

In this case, let's fight!

No one is immune to this, this is not what fencing is.

The Mavericks are the best offensive team so far this season, and the world knows it.

But even so, Carlisle still dared to attack the Mavericks.

His confidence is Li Ang!

The Mavericks themselves are not good at defense. In Carlisle's view, no matter who the Mavericks send up, Li Ang can defeat the opponent in 1 on 1.

And if the Mavericks double-team, with Li Ang's current ball-playing ability, he can definitely deliver the ball to his teammates.

Li Anger is an all-around forward who has scored 5X5 data.

Carlisle found inspiration in the Chinese team's games, because in FIBA ​​games, Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi can open up space, so the Chinese team's offense is a little bit full of stars.

In the past, the tactic of shooting four stars from one star would definitely not be used on Li Ang.

Because in the past, Li Ang's passes were always aimed at the heads of his teammates, and Li Ang did not have the ability to hold the ball.

But it's different now, Li Ang has transformed. One star radiates everywhere, it is simply tailor-made for Li Ang.

Carlisle took a big risk, because the Pistons essentially changed from a defensive team to an offensive team.

From one extreme to another.

Whether this system will collapse and whether the Pistons can win depends on Li Ang's performance!

Whether Li Ang can control one star and four shots is the key to whether the Pistons can win!

This is a duel between Li Ang and Nowitzki!

This time, the experienced Williams deliberately let Li Ang take more than one step away. After all, Li Ang's long-range shot was not even as good as Ben's free throw.

Putting Li Ang some distance away can also solve the problem of Williams' own insufficient lateral speed.

Li Ang glanced at Williams and still chose to accelerate the breakthrough.

"I can't make you vomit this time!"

When Williams saw Li Ang rushing over, he moved sideways to block it.

This time, he blocked Li Ang in time, but the moment the two came into physical contact, Williams almost felt his bile coming out.

What kind of elbow trick is this! ?

What bad thoughts could Li Ang have? He just raised his elbow to protect the ball.

After being opened by Li Ang with an elbow, Williams was completely out of position, and Li Ang showed off another tomahawk chop.

Li Ang scored consecutively, and from the current point of view, he controls the one-star shooting perfectly!

"Hahaha, okay, okay, this is how we have to hit the ball!" Director Zhang smiled happily.

You bullied Yao Ming in the last game, right?

Now that Yunlong is here, peace is here!

Your good days are over!

Williams clutched his chest and swallowed.

He now knows why even Karl Malone is so honest in front of Leon.

To be honest, if Li Ang and Malone entered the industry at the same time, it is estimated that Malone would have retired five years earlier.

"Adrian, let's switch defenses!" Williams, who was in pain, began to ask his teammates for help.

"What? It's only been two rounds and you're gone." Adrian Griffin looked at Williams with a smile.

You are so stupid!

"Oh, I heard you say that you are very brave. Go and try to guard against Li Ang."

"You're kidding, I'm super brave, okay, just give it a try."

Adrian Griffin is very confident in his defense, because defense is his specialty. This undrafted player in 1999 is actually a bit like Tony's first generation.

The highest scoring season in his career so far was only 7.2 points, and his three-point shooting can only be said to be slightly better than Li Ang.

But he has strong defensive ability, strong body, height and long arms.

It can be regarded as an enhanced offensive version and a weakened defensive version of Tony Allen.

As one of the few defensive players on the Mavericks' strange team, Adrian will defend the opponent's leading scorer most of the time.

So, he was used to this kind of work.

It was too late for Nash, and the Pistons felt that they had just retreated, and Nash had already broken through along the bottom line.

Billups wants to use his relatively strong body in the first position to block Nash, but the prerequisite for blocking is that you must be able to catch up with him.

Nash was like a loach, sliding past Billups.

After reaching the basket, Nash did not jump directly for a layup. Instead, he took the initiative to give Billups a counterattack behind him, opened up a meaningful space, and then succeeded in a reverse layup.

In this way, all possibilities of being chased for fraud are basically eliminated.

So, Nash is really the kind of person who relies on his brain to play.

Artest also knows when to fight and when to run.

How smart is he now? Yao Ming is so smart that he only needs to touch his elbow and Artest will know what to say.

He who knows the current affairs is a hero.

The Pistons' defense failed as expected. The Mavericks' ball was really good to watch. There was no rigid position and no back-and-forth confrontation.

It was a wonderful goal in just a few seconds.

At this time, Adrian Griffin clapped his hands and stared at Li Ang.

Come on, let me end your scoring streak!

Adrian thought that Li Ang would definitely use a post-up to deal with him later.

In that case, he tries to steal first. If the steal fails, he will find a way to remove Li Ang's stool.

I'll beat you to death!

Adrian felt that his plan was perfect. An old comrade like Williams was still old after all.

There is no comparison with us young people.

This time, Li Ang directly controlled the ball for half the game. When he found that the person defending him was replaced by Adrian, Li Ang was stunned.

"Hey, are you surprised? Are you scared?"

Adrian was secretly proud of himself, but in the next second, Li Ang directly stepped on the accelerator into the fuel tank and rushed towards Adrian.

"ah?"

Before Adrian could realize what was happening, he was pushed directly in by Li Ang!

After Li Angqiang pushed Adrian to the middle distance, he suddenly stopped.

At this time, Adrian had been knocked to the ground, and Li Ang seemed to have not been disturbed after making an emergency stop.

So he steadily hit the ball from the mid-range position, leaving Adrian with a head full of question marks lying on the ground thinking about life.

who I am? Where am I? What have I done?

Damn it.

I was solved by Li Ang like this! ?

I was pushed directly in from outside the three-point line?

Wardfa!

Laughing to death, no matter how strong Adrian's defensive ability is, it is still for an ordinary defender.

A guy like Li Ang who combines five shooting guards and four forwards, Adrian's small body can't stop him at all.

It's like, in the future, the black Beverly Beverley will be really strong defensively, but you want him to try to top O'Neal?

Isn't this just tying a rope on a chicken's butt? It's just bullshit.

Li Ang was stunned for a moment, not because he was afraid of Adrian's defense, but because he couldn't believe that the Mavericks actually gave up treatment to such an extent!

"Hahahahaha!" Williams almost died laughing. You really will die if you try.

Adrian and Williams, the strongest defenders, were already GG, and all the Mavericks generals looked at each other.

Next time, who should be on guard?

In the next few rounds, Li Ang directly killed the Mavericks' starting lineup.

Facing Finlay, Li Ang used his traditional advantages to seize the throne and beat Finlay to death with back blows.

Facing Nowitzki, Li Ang directly broke through and made the brave invincible.

Dirk's speed during this period can actually keep up with Li Ang on the defensive end.

But he was too soft in confrontation at the basket. Once Li Ang charged up, he couldn't stop him at all.

As for Nash

Nash: It’s okay, I’ll take a walk~

The five starting players of the Mavericks were all beaten by Li Ang!

At the end of the first quarter, Li Ang had already scored 11 points in a single quarter!

One star is full of power!

"The Pistons used offense to compete with the Mavericks today, which is totally off the mark!"

The Dallas commentators on the scene were not calm anymore. How could the Pistons' firepower compete with the Mavericks!

Although Li Ang performed well in the first quarter, he is currently only 1 point ahead of the Mavericks.

The Mavericks are indeed the kind of team that is not afraid of losing points. If Li Ang scores, they will follow suit.

So Carlisle said that this game will be a protracted game.

Who wins in the end depends on whether Li Ang's offensive firepower can outshine the Mavericks.

The team's score and Li Ang's personal score in this game may both be very high.
