NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 104 Hunting the Van Exel Plan - Open!
Old Nelson didn't have a head at all. When he found out that Lu Yuanzhi blocked Finley's two attacks, he immediately called a timeout to adjust his tactics.

Before the game, he also expected that the Kings will definitely adjust their defensive strategy in this game, and will definitely add more grabs to break the pick-and-roll.

It's just that he didn't expect that before, Christie succeeded almost every time, which is already very rare for defensive players.

However, he was soon relieved. Although Christie interfered a lot with Finley, Finley, who was hot, still maintained a very high hit rate.

When Christie rested, Nelson Sr. thought that Finley could take the opportunity to score easily and help the team open the score.

Who would have thought that the newly replaced Chinese rookie has such a strong defensive ability!

He actually chose to grab it!
With a height of 206 cm, he is not bulky at all, and he can keep up with Finley's footsteps every time, making Nowitzki's screen an "ineffective screen".

Thinking of this, Nelson glanced at Dazhi again, so you are the only one who is not good at defense, and it is not a common problem for all Chinese players?

How did Dazhi know that he was lying on the ground?
However, he was very excited about the next tactical arrangement. Old Nelson finally arranged offensive tactics for him!
Old Nelson's idea is also very simple. Isn't it just to ensure scoring by keeping Finley on the court?
Now that the Kings have found a way to guard Finley, I will use new tricks. I am not Van Gundy. My eyes will go black when I am broken. I don't know how to deal with it.

Since you have a strong defensive point staring at Finley, I won't break through from Finley.

There was about 1 minute left in the first quarter, and the Mavericks put away their big killer, Finley, and switched to ordinary offensive coordination.

Van Exel attacked with the ball, and Dazhi blocked Nowitzki on the line. At the moment when the players on both sides made physical contact, Dazhi and Nowitzki suddenly exploded and flew towards the two opposite sides. direction to pop out.

Turkoglu and Pollard's attention was all attracted by Nowitzki, and they unconsciously leaned in Nowitzki's direction.

By the time Pollard realized that his man had been missed, Dazhi had already arrived at a 45-degree angle to the left, one step inside the three-point line.

Van Exel quickly passed the ball to Da Zhi, who took a shot and hit two points!

"Good shot!" Da Xu praised with a strong Beijing accent.

Su Qun had a different opinion, "The coordination of the ball was good, but Da Zhi's shot was a little lacking in confidence. You see, he paused when he lifted the ball."

"Fortunately, the Kings defensive players gave up their defense and did not continue to catch up, otherwise the ball would have been seriously interfered with again."

Da Xu quickly smoothed things over, "This is a good start. I hope Da Zhi can regain his confidence through this goal and shoot more decisively next time."

Lu Yuanzhi was pulled to the bottom corner by Finley. Although he stood relatively outside and could move over quickly to help defend Da Zhi, he gave up the idea in an instant.

Big Zhi's position is almost 7 meters away from the basket. If he is in the bottom corner, he will be well outside the three-point line.

But what's the point of shooting such a long two-pointer at a high position?

Because the Kings play the Princeton system all year round, the defense at this position is not weak. When the team practices together, Divac often shoots around here, and everyone can put pressure on the defense.

On the contrary, it is outside the three-point line. The Kings' defense has many loopholes. You are shooting from this position. Why don't you choose to run outside and shoot a three-pointer?
It’s not like you don’t have three-pointers!
Why choose this position that is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing? Even if you make a successful shot, you will only get 2 points.

Since it was two points, Lu Yuanzhi didn't want to help defend, otherwise Da Zhi would pass the ball to Finley in the bottom corner, and it would be a three-pointer!
Lu Yuanzhi's elementary school mathematics was not returned to the physical education teacher. This account was clearly settled!
Besides, Lu Yuanzhi believed that next time such a situation happened again, Pollard would definitely be able to defend against it in time.

He is the most defensively motivated player on the Kings team, bar none!

Even Lu Yuanzhi felt that he was not as passionate as Pollard.

This guy is the fan of the team. No matter how difficult the situation is, he will always maintain high morale and continue to cheer up his teammates.

This guy is a defensive bulldog in the Kings. No matter who dares to attack in front of him, he will dare to bite your head off. Even if the opponent is O'Neal, he will not give up his tough defense.

With such a player, why would you worry about his defense?

The omission this time was just an accident.

Sure enough, Pollard patted his chest hard to indicate that the ball was his mistake, and then devoted himself passionately to the Kings' offense.

Then on the offensive end, Stojakovic continued his cold touch. Unmarked outside the three-point line, he actually missed the ball.

This is a bit speechless. The NBA's new three-pointer, who performed so well outside the three-point line in the playoffs, is also quite speechless.

I just hope he can get his touch back soon, otherwise not only will this series be difficult to play, but it will be even harder to play the Lakers in the next series.

In the end, the Mavericks entered the second quarter with a 24-point lead on the road at 22:2.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides continued to send out rotations.

The Mavericks let Nowitzki and Finley rest, sent Bradley and Najera, and paired with the original big guys on the court, John Newman and Van Exel, the main purpose was to make Van Exel chaotic. Battle score.

The Kings replaced Stojakovic, who hadn't found his form, with Bibby, playing a double point guard, and letting Bibby sort out the offense.

Adelman's idea is very simple. Everyone was in a bad state in the last game. The Mavericks stole a victory from the home court. Then this game must play well and set the tone for the next game.

And the showdown between the substitutes is the best chance to open up the score.

Although the Mavericks' total salary this year is as high as 5799 million, and Nowitzki is still in the child labor contract, he only needs to pay 216 million. Unfortunately, Howard, who was just sent out, accounts for 1875 million alone, plus Tim, who has 336 million. -Hardaway, there is not much salary space left for the Mavericks.

NBA player salaries are very realistic. Except for those rookies whose salaries may not be proportional to their abilities, most low-paid players have shortcomings in their abilities.

The Mavericks now dare to field such a lineup of pure substitutes. If they don't seize this opportunity to open the score, Adelman will feel that he will not coach at all.

Bobby Jackson, who has a stronger defensive ability, also tried his best to guard against Van Exel. He was not worried about being beaten by Van Exel because he knew that Lu Yuanzhi behind him would definitely provide timely compensation. Defend.

Lu Yuanzhi: The plan to hunt Van Exel begins!
