Super Lord of the Rings

Zhang Lili sighed: "When Barry was deployed in the second quarter, many people worried that he would become a defensive weakness. In the end, he had no problem with Daniels. On the offensive end, he can open up space better than Nocioni and Luol Deng. "

Yu Jia said: "The three veterans recruited by the Bulls, Christie did not make the playoff roster, Grant rarely played, and only played a dozen in the shark-killing tactics. The best performer was Jon Barry. In the playoffs, he Score a lot of three-pointers."

An excellent role player, seemingly inconspicuous, who does not know when to give the opponent a heavy blow.

For example, Derek Fisher, as a point guard, his assists are pitiful, but he can provide three-point firepower and often hit key shots.

The Mavericks attacked, and Harris rushed inside with a cover, and was followed by Hayes.

The advantage of the inside line was brought into play, and even one of the fastest guards in the league couldn't leave him behind in one step.

Hayes is very smart defensively, following the defense along the penalty line, keeping distance to prevent penetration, and letting Harris shoot. The opponent's information has long been collected by the Bulls' scouts, and the players have conducted research together before the game. Harris relies on breakthroughs to make a living.

Harris made an emergency stop for a jumper, Hayes stepped forward and stretched out his hand, and the ball missed again.

David Lee got the rebound with Van Horn and passed it to Wang Jun. Wang Jun turned around relying on Daniels, and made a long pass with one hand to find Du Hong.

Duhon beat Dampier in the race, and Stackhouse followed Jumbari and dared not defend.

Du Hong scored on the basketball and Wang Jun sent the third assist. 28 to 22.

The Mavericks attacked, and Harris stopped playing pick-and-roll breakthroughs. Realizing that the opponent's shrinking formation was very effective, he changed his style of play. The players pulled away and Stackhouse singled.

Wang Jun's main defense was personal interference, and Stackhouse forced the ball to go inside the three-point line. Wang Jun kept interfering in front of him, his rhythm was disrupted, and he chose to distribute the ball again.

Daniels hangs to Dampier. The "Second Center in the West" took the ball and hit Hayes twice in the low post, but failed to squeeze away. If he can't get to the basket, he might not be able to hit his head. Get the ball in the low post to find someone, and pass it out.

In the end, Van Horn missed Duhon's interference jumper in the middle, and Hayes got the rebound and immediately counterattacked.

Du Hong passed it on to Wang Jun. Wang Jun holds the ball from the left, pulls the ball to the corner, jumps past Stackhouse while running, and picks the basketball with his right hand. 30 to 22.

After being beaten 10-0 by his opponent, Johnson requested a timeout.

He sensed that the Mavericks were in big trouble.

The regular season record was one win and one loss. The Mavericks don't seem to be afraid of the Bulls, but the situation after entering the playoffs is different from the regular season, mainly due to the intensity of defense.

In the finals, defense must be fought. The Mavericks are not bad offensively, but their defense is not as good as the Bulls.

The Mavericks' defense needs to be driven by offense, because there is no real defensive pillar in the team. If the offense cannot be opened, the defense will not be able to improve. They are afraid of counterattacks.

In fact, the regular season already has signs, the Mavericks let Kobe Bryant scored 62 points in three quarters. When playing the Heat, Wade also scored 46 points.

The Mavericks have weaknesses at position 2, and Adrian can only defend. The offensive ability can be ignored, so that he can't open the offensive end. Going to Stackhouse, you will be smashed into a sieve when you encounter a super shooting guard, and his movement speed has slowed down.

After Daniels came back, he was not as good as before, and the Mavericks were weaker than in the regular season as a whole.

If this is not the case, the Mavericks will not let Terry start at the 2nd position in the Western Conference Finals against the Suns defensive leader Bell.

After the timeout, Johnson was replaced, Howard was on, and Daniels was off.

He asked Howard to defend Wang Jun. The inside line must switch defenses quickly, and pay attention to the double-teaming of the auxiliary defense. Can put Hayes perimeter shots.

After the timeout ended, Johnson quickly found that it wasn't working.

Shorting Hayes is a good idea. But Hayes did not participate in the offense during the fast break, grabbed the rebound and waited for halftime, and his teammates had already shot. Positional battle Hayes does not stay in the low post, and attracts defense near the basket. If the inside line goes to double-team, he can pick up leaks under the basket.

David Lee went out to pick and roll, Wang Jun misplaced and passed Van Horn with one step, and made a jumper with an emergency stop.

In the next round, Wang Jun counterattacked against Stackhouse, stopped and retreated and made a jumper.

The Mavericks only scored a goal by Harris' counterattack layup, and the point difference continued to widen. 34 to 24.

The Bulls played a wave of 14 to 2, forcing the Mavericks to switch back to the main force in advance, and Nowitzki replaced Van Horn.

Zhang Lili explained excitedly: "Friends in the audience, Wang Jun has already scored 17 points, and his performance is eye-catching. If this continues, the Bulls will definitely get off to a good start."

Yu Jia laughed and said, "He's going to win the double MVP. The Bulls attack smoothly with Wang Jun as the core, and Van Horn's defense can't keep up at all."

Van Horn, who was born in 1975, is only 31 years old, but he has reached the stage of retiring.

He has one year left on his contract, a huge bad contract worth more than $15 million. At this time, the Mavericks manager is ready to lay him off. He can play against weak teams in the regular season for a while, but he can't provide any help to the team in the playoffs. It is purely a defensive black hole.

Nowitzki made a three-pointer against Duhon after playing the pick-and-roll, stabilizing the situation. 34 to 27.

On the defensive end, Nowitzki switched defenses faster and was able to block Wang Jun. Howard caught up again and formed a double-team. Wang Jun couldn't easily break through.

Another person stood up, that is David Lee, recognized as the "little prince of mid-range shooting" among the 2005 rookies, his shooting is more sure than Luol Deng.

Wang Jun attracted a double-team pass to Du Hong, who responded, and the latter transferred to David Lee. At this time, David Lee ran to the right baseline, received the pass and was unguarded, and the open ball scored. 36 to 27.

Luol Deng is still sitting on the bench, Nocioni has not played, the Bulls still have a way to guarantee defense. Wang Jun mainly defended Howard, while Juan Barry and Stackhouse defended against breakthroughs but not shots.

If Stackhouse plays singles, it doesn't matter even if he scores a goal. His shooting percentage has never been high, and the season when he averaged close to 30+ per game was only 40%. If he breaks through and shrinks the line of defense, it's better than letting Nowitzki play. Now only Hayes can defend Nowitzki.

As long as Jongbari is on the court, the Bulls have three three-pointers from the outside. Wang Jun has the ball and can't double-team from the side.

The Mavericks double-teamed once in an attempt to counterattack, Wang Jun attracted Howard and Harris to defend, Wang Jun split the ball, and Du Hong made an open three-pointer.

After all, Du Hong is the winner of the McDonald's three-point contest. His main scoring weapon in high school was catching and shooting.

Stackhouse made two successful breakthroughs, and Jumbari fouled and sent him free throws.

Stackhouse made all four free throws with his unique squat free throw action. Qiongbali was replaced, Nocioni played, and Wang Jun returned to the habitual No. 2 position.

Soon in the counterattack, Wang Jun got another chance to face Stackhouse, broke through and caused a foul, and made two free throws.

It took 8 minutes to rest for Hinrich to be put on to defend Terry. The Mavericks didn't dare to play double guards, so Duhon played for a while, and the defense against Harris would not become a loophole.

At the end of the halftime, Wang Jun scored 19 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, very comprehensive.

Nowitzki had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, not inferior.

However, the Bulls lead 55 to 43 by 12 points, the role players played better, and the advantage is in their hands.
