Even if the fourth game can be won with difficulty, the situation is still not optimistic for the Mavericks! Even because the fifth game will return to the Hornets' home court, they will be in a more passive situation.

However, is there any way to reverse the disadvantage at this moment? The Mavericks, who have been forced into a desperate situation, have no choice.

After the baptism of the first three games, Lian Feng can clearly feel that his teammates and the entire team management and coaching staff have undergone transformation.

This change is like the transformation of a well-trained army that has not experienced the real test of blood and fire after a war.

Lian Feng is convinced that the team has been washed away by these few victories.

Therefore, for the next fourth game, Lian Feng felt extremely relaxed, and he could not think of any reason to lose.

At this stage, Nowitzki has not yet developed a back attack, and his singles ability has not yet been upgraded to the level of "unsolvable".

But other people are really nothing to be afraid of.

Despite this thought, when interviewed by reporters, Lian Feng's answer was still very conservative. He said: "You ask if we are ready for the next game? I think yes, we are completely ready.

We will go all out, no matter the score is 3-0 or 3-3. Whether we have an advantage or a disadvantage, we will continue to implement the team's tactical decisions as always, and I am ready to take on everything at any time."

In this atmosphere, the last game of this series finally began.

Lian Feng looked up at the auditorium and found that the arena for the playoffs was not full. There were a large number of empty seats at the top. He couldn't help but sigh. When the Mavericks did not perform well, even the fans in their own city would not

Support them.

Just like the national football team.

Competitive sports are so cruel, and results speak for themselves.

Nowitzki already had the belief that he would fight for everything. On the first attack, the Mavericks seized the ball. Nowitzki received the ball at the top of the arc, quickly took two steps inward, and then suddenly made an emergency stop.

The shot was made.

After the basketball entered the basket, he still kept his finger pointing to the basket, and then clenched his fist vigorously, showing a decisive expression.

Lian Feng was not in a hurry and got into position at a speed that was not too fast.

In the last game, the Mavericks used a defensive strategy of double-teaming forwards, and were completely defeated by other players from the Hornets. This time they adjusted their strategy and decided to use shrinking inside space to stop the Hornets.

Different from the regular season, one of the characteristics of the playoffs is that the defensive intensity increases sharply, and many tactics will become difficult to work under strict defense. At this time, two simple tactics are the most efficient, one is simple

Another pick-and-roll tactic is to give the ball to the star player for singles play.

It can be said that in the playoffs, the decisive role of the stars' offensive ability in winning or losing will be infinitely magnified.

Especially since the Hornets have performed brilliantly this season, all opponents will study them under a microscope and analyze how their tactics are initiated, how they are completed, where their strengths are, and where their weaknesses are.

.

Only the singles of the stars cannot be targeted and can only be limited by the personal abilities of the top defensive players.

At the beginning of the game, Lian Feng had already felt the Mavericks' attack.

Under their targeted defense, it becomes increasingly difficult to pull off backdoor tactics.

Obviously, this is because the Mavericks began to consciously shrink the space.

That's why the roles of David West and Korver are so important. Their mid-range and long-range shots are designed to open up space for the team when the opponent is unwilling to give space.

But on today's first goal, Korver received the basketball at a 45-degree angle and made a shocking three-pointer!

The basketball was grabbed by the Mavericks inside line.

Lian Feng frowned slightly. Korver's aim was too far off, which gave him a vague premonition of something bad.

Sure enough, Korver's touch at the start was ridiculously bad.

Because of the Mavericks' tight defense, both David West and Korver had several open shooting opportunities, but they managed a total of 1-for-9.

The Hornets' first nine shots came from the two of them.

On the Mavericks side, Nowitzki hit all of his first 6 shots, and the score between the two sides suddenly reached 13 to 2.

Lian Feng sighed slightly. The biggest difference between him and all other players, or the biggest gap between others and him, is not the offensive ability, but the stability of the offensive ability!

Everyone else will be affected by the status of the day, but with the system bonus, some of his abilities may not be considered top-notch, but his status will hardly fluctuate.

As long as the conditions are met, your shots will be able to achieve a hit rate increased by the system.

At this time, there is no need to think anymore, Lian Feng knows that he must stand up and fulfill the responsibilities of a star!

Therefore, in the next round, the forward began to wander in the mid-range, watching Paul's dribbling route at any time, and then accurately found a weak defensive position to ask Paul for the ball.

Paul failed to pass the ball successfully in the first two opportunities because the Mavericks' defense was too difficult and the position he chose was not suitable for receiving passes, so Paul did not pass the ball.

But Paul was very patient. He glanced at the scoreboard and saw that there were 10 seconds left in the attack time. He knew that this much time was more than enough for Lian Feng.

He will not be disrupted by the attack time. A good passing opportunity is also part of the offense. If such an opportunity can be found, the offense is likely to be completed in an instant. If there is no such opportunity, the ball will be passed out early.

To no avail.

Because West's continuous axis was destroyed by the Mavericks, Paul decided to deal with this ball by himself. He first borrowed a pick-and-roll, and then broke through inside. Suddenly he saw the forward who popped out, and he did not hesitate.

Passed the ball.

Lian Feng catches the ball and knows in his mind that this pass will increase his shooting stability by up to 28%!

But Lian Feng's opposing defender, Stackhouse, had already pounced on him. Lian Feng shook his head and quickly broke through.

As the double-changing style of play without slowing down during this period continued to impact the opponent's inside line, while winning applause for Lian Feng, he also began to feel discomfort in his knees again.

With this breakthrough, Lian Feng got rid of the two of them almost instantly and arrived in the penalty area in a flash.

Stackhouse could only feel helpless in his heart. Lien Feng was really too fast and it was really difficult to defend him with conventional methods.

With only Nowitzki left in front of him to help defend, the forward collected the ball quickly, then moved sideways and jumped like a grasshopper, trying to avoid it.

At this moment, Nowitzki followed to make up the position, but he had lost his rhythm. This movement intercepted Lian Feng's breakthrough route in an awkward posture.

Then, the two of them bumped into each other.

Whistle!

Lian Feng shrugged and was about to say that such a defense would only bring him fouls.

However, after the referee made the penalty gesture, Lian Feng's expression froze.

I saw the referee coolly making a gesture of hitting someone with the ball.
