From sparring to superstar

Chapter 189 187. The Shadow of the Son of the Wind +1

Big Q ran back to the locker room and took out the scouting report. He went through it with his teammates and found the playoff experience of the Mavericks players.

Finley was in the Suns in his rookie year, and the Suns entered the playoffs. However, he was full-time in his rookie season. He was unfortunately injured before the playoffs and was reimbursed. He played half of the second year and was sent to the Mavericks. The Mavericks have played in the past 10 seasons. None of them made the playoffs. The Mavericks rose last season, but only finished ninth in the Western Conference.

Nash played in the Suns twice in the playoffs... the garbage time is equal to never playing.

Juwan Howard played all those years, but only once in the playoffs, swept 0-3.

Bradley, never played in the playoffs.

The Mavericks' players with real playoff experience are three substitutes, Howard Eisley, Mark Bryant, and Roy Ott, among whom Ott Roy has participated in the playoffs three times on behalf of the Clippers.

The Clippers players were shocked!
The opposite side is really better than them!
On their side, Jermaine O'Neal's playoff experience, and played 4 times, beat Nash.

Sean Lukes, who once partnered with the skinny shark cubs.

Piakowski, who represented their Clippers in the playoffs in the 96-97 season, was also swept 0-3, in the same gear as Juwan Howard.

Greg Anthony, the player with the most experience in the playoffs of the two teams, has played against God and won 5 games with God.

After a wave of pecking at each other, the young Clippers players inexplicably gained confidence.

The veterans onlookers heard the chattering discussions of the young teammates, and were speechless for a while, and could only lament that being young is good.

Greg Anthony heard his teammates exclaim that he was 5 wins and 8 losses against God, and ran away with his face covered.

I really didn't expect it to be so...

...

In the TT group, one had a faint smile on his face, and the other remained expressionless. On the other side, one of the twin stars was indifferent, and the other was gnashing their teeth.

邓肯30分15板2助攻4盖帽，麦迪16分4板9助攻2抢断2盖帽，魔术队以103比88轻取凯尔特人队，赢下系列赛首战。

In the series between the Heat and the Raptors, the Heat had a big problem-Mourning made a comeback.

The commentator respected Mourning's tenacious fighting spirit, but also bluntly said that this tough fighter dragged his teammates back.

Carter made a frantic assault on the inside tonight and scored 18 free throws, 10 of which were sent by Mourning.

虽然莫宁出场27分钟，拿到了14分，但只有3个篮板球和1次盖帽，外加3次失误和6犯离场。

The Heat's No. [-] defense in the league collapsed because of Mourning's comeback.

Carter made 24 of 14 shots, including 10 of 6 three-pointers and 18 of 16 free throws. He blasted 50 points and led the Raptors to beat the Heat 106 to 80 and take away home court advantage.

After the first game of the Eastern two-group series, the Western side, the Dallas American Airlines Arena, the Clippers and the Mavericks have already entered the stadium.

If there is no reminder from Spider-Man, the young players of the Clippers must not be in the mood to pay attention to the micro-expressions of the opposing players.

Now they consciously observe and find that the opposite players are in the same situation as they were during the day, always making some small movements unconsciously with their hands and feet to relieve tension.

Here comes the sense of superiority - only our side finds out that we are all good!
Veteran players have noticed an uptick in confidence among younger teammates, and while the reasons for this uptick in confidence are outrageous, they don't see it as a bad thing.

It is better to be confident than to be nervous and worried, and they have experience in this regard.

And they found that the young teammates were just inexplicably confident, but not arrogant, but pinned their confidence on a few of their veterans.

The pressure didn't go away, it just shifted.

Greg Anthony is under a lot of pressure. These young teammates trust him. He wants to explain, but he can't.

He hypnotizes himself, he is really like what his teammates said, he was very beautiful when he was young, talking and laughing with God on the court, but now he is old.

Thinking of just after the warm-up ended, the God of Basketball came to their locker room in front of his teammates and said to him, "I haven't seen you in the playoffs for a long time, I miss you so much", and now he still remembers Some messy.

Spider-Man mighty!
Super rookie Spider-Man Leo, and the first-generation Jordan successor Finley's playoff duel, and this is the first playoff show of the two, which was broadcast live across the United States.

After the players of the two teams entered the field, the commentators began to analyze the strength of the two teams.

It seems that there is a huge gap between the second and seventh rankings, but the record is actually only 3 wins away. Even if the Mavericks won the last game without letting go, they will only have 4 wins, which is not even a level gap.

Therefore, there is not much difference between the team performance and player performance of the two teams!

The Clippers averaged 96.5 points per game and conceded 92.1 points per game, with a mid-range offense and top defense.

Relying on the defense against the Suns in the last game, their defensive efficiency rose to sixth in the league this season.

The Mavericks averaged 100.5 points per game and are one of the league's top four offensive teams. The other three teams are the Bucks, Kings, and Lakers.

With an average of 95.5 points per game, the defensive efficiency ranks 12th in the league, barely among the top defensive teams.

In terms of player performance, Li Ao took the lead in personal performance, averaging 25.3 points per game, the only one.

But the Mavericks have two players averaging 21 points per game, Nowitzki and Finley.

In terms of rebounds, the Mavericks are at the bottom of the class, averaging 41 rebounds per game, which looks good, but averages 45 rebounds per game.

小奥尼尔82场比赛，场均9.6分11.5板1.8助攻2.1盖帽，篮板球实力和内线防守实力一枝独秀。

组织进攻，快船队有场均14.4分8.2板8.4助攻1.4抢断1盖帽的奥多姆，和场均5助攻的李敖。

Nash, who averaged 15.6 points and 7.6 assists per game for the Mavericks, was inferior to Odom, but the Mavericks had five other players who averaged more than 5 assists per game, and their comprehensive passing ability was much better than that of the Clippers.

In terms of lineup depth, both teams are very good. The Clippers have mostly rookie contract players, while the Mavericks have high salaries.

After an analysis by the commentators, the expectations of the fans in front of the TV are getting higher and higher.

Looking at the rankings of No. 2 and No. 7, even the Clippers fans felt that the hope of victory was slim, but after such an analysis, it seems that some people will fight!

...

At 8:28, the two teams started playing.

The Clippers sent a combination of Greg Anthony, Big Q, Li Ao, Odom, and O'Neal.

The Mavericks sent a combination of Nash, Finley, Juwan Howard, Nowitzki, and Bradley.

Gentry did not continue to send the starter without support because he won the last match against the Mavericks, highlighting his stability.

But the other side is not stable at all...

The players on the field didn't care so much, they were nervous and confident, and now they are very excited.

Finally played in the playoffs/Finally able to play the playoffs as the main force!

Li Ao looked at the task he received after playing.

"The road to the playoffs for the teams in the lower zone is so difficult, but the game has not yet started, and everything is not a foregone conclusion. Don't make excuses for failure, and only win in your eyes... Mission: Trigger the next game."

"Down and up:

Goal: Defeat the Dallas Mavericks to advance to the second round.

Bonus: The Steve Nash Fadeback Shot Companion (Level 3). "

"The playoffs are the real stage to test the quality of stars. Only by shining on this stage can they be truly recognized...Mission: Triggered by the strongest rookie."

"The strongest rookie:
Objective 1: The host needs to get the highest score in the game.

Objective 2: The host needs to get the highest number of blocked shots in the game.

Rewards: Each objective rewards 3000 achievement points.

Goal 3: Win the game.

Reward: 3000 achievement points, if all goals are completed, an additional basic attribute point will be rewarded. "

After turning off the system screen, Li Ao took a deep breath.

Is this single mission given according to his data?

He happens to be the player with the most points and blocks per game on both teams.

However, the task did not bring him pressure.

They were meant to win, but who would want to lose when they set foot on the court?

Having a mission will only increase his motivation!
At 8:[-] in the evening, the referee blew his whistle and the game started on time.

O'Neal overwhelmed Bradley to win the jump ball, and the Clippers went first!

After the two center forwards took off, Li Ao bypassed Finley and made a quick jump, showing his trust in O'Neal.

The Mavericks players were also full of confidence in Bradley and retreated immediately.

However, there are always people who are not so motivated on the defensive end.

Li Ao rushed into the three-point line and passed Juwan Howard. Juwan Howard reacted and turned around to catch up. How could he catch up.

Li Ao received a long pass from Odom on the left side of the three-second zone, stepped into the three-second zone to take off, switched the ball to his left hand, and scored two points with a tomahawk dunk!

Nowitzki retreated to the basket, but Li Ao rushed in at full speed, and seemed to be even faster after entering the three-point line. He could only back away and watch Li Ao wreak havoc on the basket.

It's not that he's afraid of being the background, but that if he goes up to the top, he may lose a foul if he can't prevent it.

As long as Juwan Howard is more active and makes Spider-Man turn a corner and slow down a little, he will go up!

Dissatisfaction with new teammates +1 again...

After switching from offense to defense, Nowitzki came to the frontcourt. As he expected, Spider-Man followed him, his head was big.

He would rather play against Garnett than play the Clippers.

Spiderman, Matt Harprin, Zuo Mo...God, help me!

Nowitzki was aggrieved, but his teammates were very happy that he could contain Spider-Man.

Nash and Juwan Howard launched a pick-and-roll attack. Juwan Howard split and cut into the right elbow. He caught the ball and turned around. Facing O'Neal who expanded, he hit a long hook on the sideline of the three-second zone!
Although Nowitzki dislikes that Juwan Howard's defense is worse than him, he is good at squatting at the basket to defend against the back, and Juwan Howard is nothing.

But on the offensive end, he trusts this teammate a lot.

Juwan Howard made a hook in the middle of the sideline in the three-second zone. It was hard to defend, and it felt like a sky hook.

To the Clippers offense.

How happy the offensive end is, now the Mavericks players have such a headache.

When I was preparing for the game, I was thinking about how powerful this lineup is offensively, and I forgot about defense.

Nowitzki, who was guarding the top arc, looked at Odom, who was booing fancy dribbles, and wondered what posture he should use to make it less embarrassing to be passed by.

Two seconds later, Nowitzki half-turned and pouted his buttocks and stretched out his hands to pull Odom, which brought an end to his single defense of the top arc.

Odom was so angry that he successfully entered the inside line, and he revealed Kepas when he was having fun...

Mistake!
On the left side of the three-second zone, Juwan Howard was run away by Li Ao. Just as he was about to chase, the ball suddenly came in front of him. He quickly grabbed it. Although he was stunned, he reacted quickly and immediately passed it to the left at a 45-degree angle. Nash against Greg Anthony.

Nash has a fast break!
Greg Anthony tries to block, Nash dribbles past the opponent beautifully behind the back and rushes forward!
Li Ao saw the operation of Odom passing to the opponent. Although he cursed in his heart, he caught up immediately after Nash received the ball and dribbled away from Greg Anthony.

No one else in the Clippers chased, Nash was in the outermost position, Greg Anthony was passed, and they had already decided that the opponent was going to score.

Seeing Li Ao chasing after Nash, the teammates could only sigh their Spider-Man spirit of never giving up.

Odom watched the scene of Spider-Man chasing and defending, and patted himself on the head hard, regretting it very much.

Just when he was about to take a second shot, he was stunned by the picture in front of him.

Nash rushed to the free throw line and grabbed the ball. Amidst the cheers of the fans, he stepped out heavily and made three big strides...a layup!
"Snapped"

"bang"

Li Ao slapped the ball on the basket from above Nash's head!

Nash's expression changed from excitement to panic. When he landed, he wanted to turn his head, but he couldn't stand firmly, and fell to the floor with his body crooked.

After Li Ao caught the popped ball, he habitually grabbed the ball with one hand and stretched away from Nash.

Seeing Spider-Man's slender and tall body, and the posture of grabbing the ball with one hand, the Zonda, who has not ushered in the windy day, can't forget this scene...

　Ask for a monthly pass!
