The Godfather of Basketball
v2 Chapter 257: "China Nowitzki"
In fact, Tang Tian used this set of tactics in the regular season and the Celtics, and now it is the Mavericks to learn from the upgrade.
Carlisle had nothing to do in the end, and the Rockets overturned the Mavericks 108-93 away, leading by 3-0.
Yao Ming had 27 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, Tracy McGrady had 30 points and 6 rebounds, Artest had 15 points, Yi Jianlian had 14 points, Billups had 12 points and 12 assists ... The Rockets still had more flowers.
On the Mavericks side, Nowitzki played full court, scoring 41 points and 7 rebounds in the air, unable to return to the sky.
Never in history has a team achieved a 0 to 3 fallback, not to mention the current target is the Rockets led by Tang Tian.
The Rockets' promotion is basically a matter of course.
After a two-day break in Dallas, the fourth game of the two series continued at the American Airlines Center.
Dallas fans are enthusiastic, and team owner Mark Cuban also appeared on the sidelines as usual, wearing the wildest jeans.
But all this, it is more like knowing that this is the final curtain call of the team season, and finally going crazy.
The opening ceremony ended, and players from both sides appeared one after another.
The Rockets haven't changed, with Billups and McGrady on the perimeter, Shane Battier and Yi Jianlian on the wing, and Yao Ming on the inside.
But the Mavericks have changed a lot.
Dampier was withdrawn, replaced by Sean Williams, who has a three-point shooting ability and has never played in this series.
Sean Williams is only 2.08 meters tall, and the main player is the small forward. This means that the Mavericks actually played the fifth position and became Nowitzki.
What's more, Howard was also taken down by Carlisle and replaced by Barria.
The average height of this lineup is amazing, and defense will definitely be a big problem.
But it is clear that Carlisle knows how to lose in normal play. This is a backwater battle. It is necessary to speed up to the extreme and play against the Rockets.
At the start of the game, Yi Jianlian jumped to win Nowitzki, and the Rockets took the lead in obtaining offensive opportunities.
Yao Ming responded to the free throw line, McGrady cut the air, one second pass.
"Snapped!"
Barria showed his speed again, rushing from the other side of the half to snap the ball off.
The Mavericks played a fast break, and Barria was absolutely dusty. After attracting the defense, he gave the ball to Terry who followed up, and the latter easily made a layup.
The Rockets attacked, Yao Ming asked for the ball under the basket, McGrady's pass was cut off by Shawn Williams, the Mavericks made another fast break, and Nowitzki followed up to score.
4 to 0!
The cheering scene was astounding.
This strange array of Carlisle had an effect at the beginning!
Tang Tian got up from the bench, but instead of turning back to call Artest, he directly gestured to the team with a tactical gesture of playing the fourth position.
Billups held the ball to the front court, signaled that everyone else was pulled away, and then hung the ball to Yi Jianlian in the low post.
Yi Jianlian turned back to see that the Mavericks had no double-teams. A Williams turned to the left and pressed to the left, followed by a turn and a backward jumper.
His shot was decisive and his backlash was large. Williams turned back and wanted to interfere completely.
"Oh!"
Yi Jianlian's back steadily hit and finally broke the Rockets' scoring shortage.
For the Mavericks' offense, Nowitzki pulled Yao Ming to the three-point line. Kidd gave the ball to Terry and signaled to Sean Williams to put on a pick-and-roll.
After removing the ball, Williams went to the right three-point line, and Terry took the ball to Yi Jianlian's direct layup.
Yi Jianlian was very clever, and stretched his hand while backing, always maintaining a defensive position.
Terry hurriedly threw a throw, Yi Jianlian strove to save.
"boom!"
Terry's interference failed to make a shot.
Yi Jianlian turned around and took up a defensive rebound, giving it to Billups.
After Billups advanced to the frontcourt, he still traded the ball to low singles.
At this time, the Rockets were very open at other points, and the Rockets did not dare to double-team.
Yi Jianlian continued to beat Williams, this time playing hard.
Although Williams has a height of 2.08 meters, he weighs only about 105 kilograms, which is 10 kilograms less than Yi Jianlian. Even in the regular season, the Mavericks rarely have the opportunity to play, and the confrontation is very general.
After a few hard gouges, Yi Jianlian successfully squeezed into the basket. After a fake turned to the left to deceive Williams, he turned to the right and squeezed it. He took the ball with both hands and scored directly.
There was a commotion at the scene.
Yi Jianlian was able to play against Scola and Landry, and even Artest became the Rockets' power forward, relying on hard power.
Carlisle froze for a moment, then looked somewhat helpless.
This weird array is most afraid of such a hard chisel. The Rockets have a high offensive success rate, and the Mavericks have no chance to speed up.
The Mavericks attacked. Barria and Williams broke through the basket after a pick-and-roll. His speed was faster than that of Yi Jianlian.
Looking back, Billups also traded the ball to the low singles of Jianlian. Yi Jianlian made a hard and fake action and tricked Williams to turn. He turned directly to the basket and got a double-handed buckle at the basket. Score.
Some fans couldn't sit still.
He won the MVP of the American Championship at the University of Williams. He was also selected by the Pacers in 17th place in 2006. However, after the NBA, his unassailable positioning gave him few opportunities to play. This is also the Mavericks playoffs. First appearance.
It turns out that he still can't play this level of competition, which was stabbed to death by the opposite Yi Jianlian.
In the Mavericks' offense, Barria broke out again. The Rockets contracted this time. Barria gave the ball to Williams.
Williams made a three-pointer.
"boom!"
The ball was a bit outrageous and hit the right back edge directly. Yao Ming pressed Nowitzki to receive a defensive rebound.
Without a decent center, the Mavericks shouldn't count on this frontcourt.
What makes the fans on the scene more depressing is that after Billups took the ball to the front court, he also handed it over to Yi Jianlian!
Connected four times!
Williams behind him is a bit helpless ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ It's not that he doesn't work hard to defend, but now Yi Jianlian can't defend it ...
Terry recovered the basket, Yi Jianlian also responded quickly and directly assigned the ball to Shane Battier.
Shane Battier took a three-pointer and shot straight.
"Oh!"
With a crisp sound, Shane Battier's iconic bottom corner was a solid three-pointer.
"beep!"
A pause came from the sidelines, and Carlisle shook his head helplessly.
The Rockets played a 9-2 attack wave in the past, and Yi Jianlian sent 6 points and 1 assist in this attack wave. This is really the title of some fans and became "China Nowitzki".
After the suspension came back, the Mavericks made substitution adjustments, and Williams and Barria were replaced by Dampier and Howard.
Carlisle's substitution also showed that the strange array he tested failed.
