NBA: Starting with James Harden

The Hawks attack.

Crawford chooses to press the time.

Crawford has no intention of giving the ball to Joe John or Josh.

He is ready to attack by himself.

There is no doubt that Li Zhen will lead the defense of Crawford on the Mavericks side.

Li Zhen's defensive ability is getting stronger and stronger, and Carlisle trusts his one-on-one defense ability more and more.

Even though he is still a rookie, he is also asked to defend various offensive players of the opponent.

Compared with Joe John, Crawford's offensive routines are more fancy, and his dribbling changes more.

Crawford sincerely shows off his dribbling skills in front of Li Zhen.

When pressing the time, he also uses various streetball-style fancy plays.

Li Zhen only needs to use his body to defend Joe John, but he can use various cuts to defend Crawford

【God cuts hands】....

【God cuts hands】....

【[God Cutting Hand]

When Crawford chose to press the time, Li Zhen kept using his skills

""Pop!"

Li Zhen made a fake move on the left, and then a real cut on the right to complete a one-on-one steal. With a 30% success rate of cutting the ball, it took Li Zhen 4 times to cut Crawford's dribble.

Using skills consumes physical energy.....Li Zhen also took a breath.

Crawford was confused. He never thought that his ordinary dribbling would be intercepted.

The fans at the scene fell silent again.

The defense of this rookie is too terrible. He can even intercept this?

In 15 seconds, Li Zhen stole the ball and pressed the time.

Carlisle was very happy off the court.

Li Zhen is really the secret weapon of the Mavericks. He changed the situation as soon as he came on the court. He posed a strong threat to the opponent both on the offensive and defensive ends.

Compared with the happiness of the Mavericks coaching bench, the Hawks coaching bench was frowning.

The advantage of the starting lineup was gone just like that.

Crawford's dribbling was intercepted, which was really distressing.

When there were still 6 seconds left on the offensive time, Haywood and Marion came up at the same time to cover Li Zhen.

Li Zhen dived to the free throw line again.

Stop suddenly.

Adjust the steps!

Jump up and fade away!

Shoot at the highest point!!

Crawford and Horford both rushed over for this ball.

Unfortunately, their interference did not play much of a role.

""Shua!!"

26 to 29, the basketball went through the heart again.

Time also ran out when the basketball was flying.

Li Zhen completed the buzzer shot, which was also his mid-range three-shot combo.

"pretty!!"

"nice shot!!"

""Rookie, your mid-range shots are so accurate."

Teammates came over excitedly and high-fived Li Zhen.

In just over two minutes, Li Zhen scored 6 points, 2 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal, helping the team catch up from a 10-point deficit to only three points behind!

"Li Zhen showed his role as a super sixth man in the last two minutes of the first quarter, and he completely blew up Crawford."

"The Hawks tried a new tactic of defending three-pointers and the basket to try to stop Li Zhen from scoring, but were directly defeated by Li Zhen's mid-range shot."

"This performance is phenomenal. I think it's time for Coach Carlisle to consider starting Li Zhen in some games."

Coach Zhang boasted habitually.......

The Hawks were very stubborn, a little scary. At the beginning of the second quarter, they still insisted on their own defensive thinking to defend Li Zhen.

Carlisle did not make any special tactical adjustments or personnel arrangements, and let Li Zhen play like this.

The first attack in the second quarter was the Mavericks.

Li Zhen passed the ball to Terry, who took it to the front court and waited for Li Zhen for a while.

Terry received a pass from Li Zhen in the previous quarter and completed a layup. He did not intend to have a conflict with Li Zhen on the court.

Let Li Zhen go in and play in the high position.

Li Zhen led Crawford to the high position on the right corner.

After throwing the ball to Li Zhen, Terry took the defensive player to the empty space.

Li Zhen faced the basket with the ball, and after a series of tentative steps, he chose to dribble to the right, retreated sideways, and once again faced Crawford's defense and pulled out a fadeaway!!

Li Zhen played with confidence in the first quarter. For him, Crawford's defense was dispensable!!

The basketball was shot very smoothly.

Crawford had tried very hard to defend, but it was useless.

The fadeaway jump shot itself is a posture that is extremely resistant to interference!

""Shua!!"

28 to 29, 1 point difference.

Four consecutive mid-range shots!!!

"Ding, consecutive hits in actual combat [fade away jump shot], the host's ability is continuously improving, and the mid-range attribute is increased by 1 point!!"

Actual combat is a faster way to improve than training. This is the first time that Li Zhen has enjoyed such progress!!

The fans at the Phillips Arena were speechless as they watched Li Zhen beat the Hawks' defense with various mid-range shots.

Defense!

Why don't you defend his mid-range shots?

This guy is so accurate, just watch him shoot?

The fans are very anxious.

Crawford is helpless. He has already defended, but he can't.

Woodson also wiped his forehead and prepared to change the tactics to double-team.

The Hawks attack again!

Crawford is very depressed now.

Li Zhen is his defender, but he keeps scoring, which undoubtedly proves that his defensive ability is not... OK.

Pulling away, Crawford paid more attention to his ball protection, and did not dare to dribble the ball blindly in front of Li Zhen.

After calling for Howard's screen, Crawford shot directly from outside the three-point line.

Dampier's defense was in place, and Crawford's touch was not good. He continued to miss shots.

Rebounds flew towards Li Zhen again and again.

Rebounds +1 again.

Li Zhen felt that he was at a loss for not taking on the triple-double task today.

The rebounds came to him by themselves.

Josh and Horford were both annoyed. Rebounding depends on luck for 2 points and hard work for 8 points.

Li Zhen's luck has been first-class since he came on the court.....

Li Zhen passed the ball to Terry again. Now his relationship with Terry has eased a little.

Terry passed the ball to him, and Li Zhen also passed the ball to Terry.

Terry got the ball and rushed forward quickly.

All the Hawks returned to defense, and he didn't have many opportunities.

Li Zhen received Terry's pass in the low right position with the help of Haywood's screen.

Li Zhen began to understand why the Mavericks beat the Heat in his previous life.

Although Terry was very unhappy with him, he was still willing to pass the ball to him for the team on the court.

The team is greater than the individual, which is the fundamental reason why this Mavericks can win.

Li Zhen leaned on Joe John with his back to the basket.

When everyone thought Li Zhen was going to play one-on-one again, Li Zhen turned his back and threw the ball directly towards the basket without looking at anyone!!

【[The King of Passing]

Li Zhen's passing awareness and vision saw Haywood's open space!

Joe John was confused:"What the hell?"

""Oh no, inside!"

Josh reacted but it was too late.

Haywood came down from the middle, received the pass from Li Zhen, and threw the ball into the basket with both hands.

It was an alley-oop dunk!

30 to 29, the score was ahead

"Timeout!!!" Woodson couldn't help it, and called a timeout after just over a minute in the second quarter.

He couldn't stop, the Mavericks' second lineup was too strong.

The Hawks couldn't stand it.

Not all the Hawks' second lineup was on the court, most of them were from the first lineup, but when they met the Mavericks' second lineup, they were strangled like crazy!!

Haywood pulled the basket and shook it, and his legs bounced so high that they almost touched the backboard.

""Ah!!!!"

Haywood roared to the sky after landing!!!

Li Zhen also ran over excitedly and high-fived the big guy!!!

Haywood immediately hugged Li Zhen's head and kissed him!

Li Zhen let him vent the frustration of being abused in the interior against the Hawks.

"Damn it, don't be so disgusting."

Li Zhen jumped and pushed Haywood away, causing the Mavericks to laugh.
