NBA: Start with James Harden

Dressing room.

“Guys, this opponent is not very strong tonight, the opponent’s rookie Evans needs to pay attention, this guy scored 33 points in the last game.” Carlisle said during the tactical arrangement.

“Coach, don’t worry, Li will get him.” Kidd put his hands on Li Zhen’s shoulders to help him massage.

“Haha, I’ll feed you tonight, play well, and leave the media who ranked him first on the rookie list have nothing to say.” Marion also laughed.

The Mavericks’ locker room had a great atmosphere, and they all knew about Evans’ vs. Li Zhen before the game.

They naturally favored Li Zhen.

In their opinion, Li Zhen is this year’s strongest rookie.

So they all clamored for Li Zhen to educate Evans.

“Li, you also have to be careful, that rookie is not without a little strength in the first place.” Novitsky instructed Li Zhen.

Li Zhen smiled and said confidently: “Well, I know, but I will get him.” ”

While the Mavericks locker room players were clamoring for all kinds of things.

Away dressing room.

Tyrek Evans’ face was solemn.

Although Evans is confident when he fights, Evans is not a fool either.

The gap between the Mavericks and the Kings is too great, and if he is not careful, this game will disgrace him.

Of course, losing is not unacceptable, but his data must be better than Li Zhen, so as to help his name.

………..

Seven o’clock in the evening.

The Route Center Arena is packed.

Before the game started, the smell of gunpowder began to spread throughout the venue.

The camera repeatedly pointed at Li Zhen and Evans, who were fighting before the game.

The fans at the scene were also looking forward to the confrontation between Li Zhen and Evans.

It’s also a national livestream.

T, N, and T also sent Van Gundy and Harlan to explain the game.

After the start of the match, the two sides fought hard.

Marion constantly put Evans under defensive pressure, making the rookie top guy shoot from outside the three-point line.

Evans didn’t have many chances to play Marion, but he had plenty of chances when he misplaced Kidd.

Although Kidd can often judge Evans’ breakthrough line, he is too late to block his opponent, or rather can’t stop it.

Evans’ breakthrough is still very sharp, with his strong body, Kidd is suppressed by Evans even if he passes.

Kidd can handle the vast majority of starting point guards in the NBA, but misplacing against such a small forward is really unpreventable.

Li Zhen came on early, and Carlisle sent Li Zhen on the field after playing 6 minutes in the first quarter.

As soon as Li Zhen appeared, the entire route arena resounded with huge cheers!

All fans still remember how Li Zhen single-handedly turned the tide against the Suns last night.

After Li Zhen came on, the Mavericks’ defense became more solid.

Evans also wanted to play Li Zhen, but he was unsuccessful, Li Zhen’s defense is now better than Kidd’s, he can accurately predict Evans’ breakthrough line, and then block.

Evans wanted to fight Li Zhen with a strong body, but his strength did not have a great advantage.

Li Zhen didn’t burst as soon as he came up, he was wrapped.

Li Zhen didn’t deliberately hit Evans, and he didn’t have many good opportunities.

With neither side of the offensive starting point hot, Novitsky and Yudri carried the offensive of both teams.

25 to 30.

The Mavericks had an overall lead, leading by five points at the end of the first quarter.

The Mavericks were firmly in control, Carlisle was smiling and everything was going well.

King bench.

Kings head coach Paul Westphal yelled at the players: “Jason, Carl, you guys give me a bag for that Dirk, don’t let him have a chance to play alone, give me as close as I can to make him play hard!” ”

The king’s disadvantage on the inside was infinitely placed in front of Nowitzki.

King Nuo Tianwang hasn’t fought so easily for a long time.

The Kings head coach can’t help but wrap up Novitsky, in Paul’s opinion, Novitsky is the boss of the Mavericks, the No. 6 rookie? There is not much performance under the bag, and you can’t pay too much attention to him next.

In the second quarter, Li Zhen continued to stay on the court, as did the Kings, and Evans.

“Li Zhen is also very smart, he did not fight strongly, but let Novitsky go to crack the Maverick’s defense, so the strategy of breaking the defense is very good, plus Novitsky played very well today, the king’s bag object was wrong, if they want to win, they should limit Novitsky in the first place, not Li Zhen.”

On the commentary stage, Van Gundy praised Li Zhen and Nowitzki.

Van Gundy himself is a defensive coach, and he can tell at a glance that Li Zhen has cleverly used his threat to break up the Kings’ defense, and the Kings’ defensive strategy mistakes are still behind when they scored a lot of points in the first quarter.

The king begins the second verse with a wrapped up on King Noten.

But supergiant is supergiant

Facing the two-man defense, Notianwang received the ball and played high, and then found space to complete the jump shot.

Jason Thompson and Randall worked hard, and both pounced with all their might.

Although they are very well guarded, but the Golden Rooster independence of King Nuo Tianwang is unreasonable and penetrates the heart! ! !

This ball can be regarded as an assist from Li Zhen because Nuo Tianwang did not dribble.

This goal helped the Mavericks continue to open the gap.

Seeing this scene, Kings coach Paul kept walking on the sidelines.

“Get on the body!! Assisted defense!!! Paul roared.

If the bag can’t limit Novitsky, how can this ball be played?

Fortunately, the Kings had a good outside today, and Yudri, who was not very good at three-pointers, scored two in a row, and the Kings did not let the Mavericks open the point difference.

The second quarter lasted five minutes, and the two sides exchanged attacks and defenses, but the score was always that the Mavericks were ahead.

Evans knows very well that if he goes on at this pace, the Mavericks will easily harvest the game, but he doesn’t have much good way, and the strength gap is here.

With four minutes left in the first half, the hilarious King Notian got another chance to play singles in the bull horn position.

His singles were against Randall.

Nowitzki chose to resist two steps and then turned around and rushed to the basket with the ball!!

Nowitzki was in good form today and he scored in every way.

Jason Thompson meanwhile blocked Novitsky on the other side.

“Bang!”

Jason Thompson bumped into Nowitzki, who was knocked into the center of gravity and lost.

“Click!”

Nearby Li Zhen clearly saw that King Nuo Tianwang twisted his foot.

“Ah!!!!” Novitsky called out, then fell to the ground and covered his ankles and couldn’t get up.

Li Zhen quickly rushed over to see Novitsky’s injury.

The team doctors also quickly came.

Thompson immediately raised his hand to signal his innocence, and the ball was a normal confrontation.

The big screen at the scene also rewatched this defense, it was indeed a reasonable confrontation, there was not much confrontation, it was King Nuo Tianwang himself who twisted his feet.

Seeing that King Nuo was injured, Carlisle’s face turned dark.

The recent schedule has been too intensive, and Novitsky has not been given a rotation, and Noitsky King is obviously too tired and playing too much, and the result is now tragic.

The team doctor examined the injury and then gestured to Carlisle.

Nowitzki didn’t hurt a bone, but the game couldn’t be played.

Baria and Heywood slowly carried Novitsky back to the dressing room.

Nowitzki needed further examination of his injuries.

Nowitzki’s departure interrupted Carlisle’s tactical arrangement.

Carlisle isn’t just worried about this game, he’s worried about the playoff sprint that follows.

On the court, Evans showed a hint of a smile.

And Li Zhen’s face became more and more serious.

He knew that his challenge had come.
