Super Lord of the Rings

The Mavericks attack and the ball passes to Nowitzki again.

Without Terry and Crawford, the Mavericks couldn't pass the ball and finally relied on core singles, with one person attacking and four defending.

He leaned against James twice, turned from the right to the middle, took off with his left foot, and once again used the "Golden Rooster Independence". James reacted quickly and jumped very high without being able to block the ball. He could only close his eyes and the ball missed the basket.

Yi Jianlian blocked Perkins, Wang Jun retreated to protect the rebound, and immediately passed the long ball after landing. James went for a fast break.

James is one of the fastest stars in the league, and he got rid of Nowitzki. Wang Jun's long pass was just right this time, and was sent to the free throw line.

James caught the ball and jumped up, dunking the ball in with one hand. 2 to 6.

Mavericks coach Carlisle shouted on the sidelines, "Hurry up and get back on defense!" He knows it's impossible to completely guard against the Kings' fast break, but requires players to do their best every possession.

The Mavericks offense kept running and passing in a small area. As soon as 24 seconds passed, Marion singled out Peja, turned around and missed the throw due to interference. Yi Jianlian grabbed the rebound and passed it to Curry, who passed it to James.

At this time, there was an inevitable dislocation on the court, and Nowitzki defended James.

The German king retreated relatively far back to prevent breakthroughs but not shots. James stopped in the middle and shot a three-pointer. Nowitzki stepped forward and slightly interfered, and the ball missed the basket. Wang Jun went to the basket first, grabbed the offensive rebound behind Stevenson, and feinted the ball.

Perkins retreated to defend. Wang Jun attracted a double-team and half-turned to pass the ball out to the outside. Yi Jianlian was empty.

He lived up to expectations and hit a three-point jumper from the middle, 5-6.

Zhang Lijia smiled and said: "What a goal! The UAE is playing in the playoffs for the first time, and his statistics are slightly improved compared to the regular season. As long as he wins the championship, he will definitely get a big contract in the summer."

Yu Jia said: "I just don't know if he can still play alongside Wang Jun. He is a restricted free agent in the summer. If a team is willing to pay him a high salary, the King's current situation will not be suitable."

In front of the TV, Yao Ming was in a bad mood. Yi Jianlian was also close to winning the championship. Daba and Sun Yue both received rings as marginal players. Among the Chinese players, only he and Wang Zhizhi did not have rings...

The Mavericks played extremely patiently. As soon as 24 seconds passed, Nowitzki passed the ball to the inside. Perkins attacked Yi Jianlian, turned to the baseline and hit the board with one hand. This time, Yi Jianlian made a very accurate judgment and did not stick to his body. He jumped up from behind, used his height and wingspan to cover his opponent, and accurately covered the basketball with his right hand.

He took advantage of the opportunity to get the rebound,

Pass teammates position battle.

The Kings all pulled out of the perimeter, James organized from the right, Wang Jun and Yi Jianlian ran to the right without ball cover to catch the ball, turned around and faced the frame and took a step with their right foot. Perkins switches defense and Marion also pursues from behind.

Wang Jun passed Perkins with his left foot, pulled the ball further with his right heel, reached the basket at a 45-degree angle, took off, and dunked with one hand. 7 to 6, the Kings took the lead.

Nowitzki did not dare to return to the basket to cover up the defense, fearing Peja's role.

The Mavericks attacked, Kidd and Perkins played a pick-and-roll, attracting Yi Jianlian to switch defense and split the ball in the middle. Perkins cut to the basketball and scored. Curry's physique couldn't stop the fat man, there was nothing he could do. 7 to 8.

The King's ball started to move, and all five people received the ball once. Yi Jianlian screened Curry in the middle and got rid of it. James passed the ball to the left to 70 degrees. Curry caught the ball and missed the three-pointer. James grabbed the offensive rebound. The force caused a foul on Stevenson.

Stevenson maintains his popularity by provoking James. He averages 30 minutes per game with the Wizards and has less than 3 rebounds.

James made one of two free throws, 8-8.

The Mavericks attacked, but Nowitzki turned around and missed a shot. Wang Jun counterattacked and caught the ball and used a confused step. He was pulled by Stevenson and went to the free throw line, making both free throws. 10 to 8.

Stevenson, who committed two fouls, was replaced and Terry came on.

Kidd and Perkins played a pick-and-roll. This time Yi Jianlian didn't let Perkins go. Kidd made an emergency jumper from the left corner. 10 to 10.

After the opening test, the two sides generally understood each other's offensive and defensive methods.

The Kings were man-to-man, double-teaming Nowitzki the moment he turned around, picking and rolling Perkins in the middle, and letting Kidd take the shot. "The base does not attack" is worthy of its nickname, and it is not a particularly good opportunity to take action.

The Mavericks ensure a zone defense, and if they cannot defend against one-on-one counterattacks, they will foul.

When Wang Jun or James breaks through, there must be two people on the inside to double-team, and Yi Jianlian or James is shorted on the outside. Yi Jianlian has good statistics, because he is always the first target to be shorted.

James had poor touch on the outside today, and both of his shots missed. Wang Jun gave him the task of holding the ball and breaking through. He waited for opportunities with Curry on the outside. The Mavericks were not stupid, and immediately stopped letting go. They defended James alone. host.

The Kings led 27-24 in the first quarter. Wang Jun had 7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and James had 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

Both teams came on substitutes in the second quarter, and the Mavericks quickly overtook the score and played a great game.

Barea and Terry are two guards, Crawford is a small forward, and Marion and Haywood are inside, small ball tactics.

Crawford is 196cm tall and can play as a double guard, and his physical fitness is not impossible to play as a swingman. Moreover, his skills are comprehensive and he can be regarded as a second-rate star.

Both cores of the Kings are resting, with Bibby, Ray Allen, McGrady, Gibson, and Miller on the field.

Barea became a special force for the Mavericks. He broke through the pick-and-roll and could pass Miller in one step. If Gibson guards him, Crawford will get another chance, but McGrady can't guard him.

The Kings double-teamed, and Terry also made two three-pointers from the outside.

The Mavericks are not a vegetarian in their small ball tactics, and their offensive power is better than the Kings bench.

Ray Allen and Terry are facing each other. They have height and weight advantages, but they are not sure about attacking with the ball. Haywood did a better job guarding the penalty area, but Gibson couldn't play. Gibson can be released when he pulls out, but his shooting is unreliable.

After 4 minutes of play, Adelman quickly asked Wang Jun to come on as a substitute and replaced Bibby.

Wang Jun scored two goals in a row against Crawford, and there was an obvious mismatch when the ball was released. However, McGrady failed to seize the opportunity and missed both pull-ups against Terry. At 6 minutes, Adelman replaced James again.

James also performed poorly in this game. He knew that his shooting touch was poor, so he took fewer shots and did not dare to pull out when facing Barea out of position several times.

He also staged a funny scene, hitting Barea with a misplaced back, knocking over his opponent and causing him to hit someone with the ball.

James has been practicing back-to-back fights, and he can use them when he encounters people who are taller and less powerful. Barea is too small, and it was not a fake fall but a real fall. The referee cannot turn a blind eye when he is knocked out.

The Mavericks used small-ball tactics in the third quarter, with Brewer serving as power forward and Nowitzki at center, fighting with the Kings to attack.

While the Kings scored consecutively from the outside, the Mavericks also shot away from the outside. Barea broke through too quickly and was difficult to defend after the pick-and-roll.

Zhang Lili lamented: "The King's weakness is not only the center's defense, but also the point guard's speed. Barea is too fast and the defender cannot catch up after the pick-and-roll."

Yu Jia said depressedly: "When the Mavericks play small ball tactics, there are also shortcomings in interior defense. Brewer is 206cm tall and weighs only 85kg. He has solid defensive skills, excellent physical fitness, and strong steal prediction, but the defensive effect is actually Very average. It’s a pity that the king can’t catch it.”

In 2004, when Walker and Jamison were there, the Mavericks tried to play small ball, but they couldn't guard insiders like Duncan and O'Neal, but Yi Jianlian couldn't play tough in the low post.

The Mavericks have been leading, beyond expectations.
