Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 114 The basket is not his own, and he can’t carry it if he is surrounded by crouching dragons and phoenixes!

"Compared to the gorgeous Princeton-style goal just now, the Mavericks' scoring method is a bit rough, relying purely on physical talent to bully others!

But basketball is essentially about scoring goals, not scoring.

No matter you are a black cat or a white cat, if you can score goals, you are a good cat.

Whether the Kings' goal is gorgeous or not, they will always score two points, and although Tan Yang's offense is rough, it is very likely to score three points..."

Not even a possibility, but a certainty.

Free throws, for most people, are a matter of delivering points.

This is called professionalism.

He can't even make free throws well, so he definitely can't be called a professional.

In more than ten years, in the NBA, if you can't make free throws well, you will be unemployed.

Swish-!
Sure enough, Tan Yang was not soft on the free throws and made them steadily.

11 to 8! !
"At the beginning of the game, Tan Yang turned out to be the most handsome guy on the field!"

On the commentary table, Barkley analyzed this situation, shaking his head and sighing.

“I have to say, the Kings’ defense is terrible.

The offense is all-powerful, but there is no way to invest more energy in defense. He can't even handle rookie Tan Yang?

It’s simply off the mark…”

In this regard, Adelman is calm.

As long as they can play the offensive picture they want offensively and score goals in every round, theoretically they will not lose.

Therefore, there is no need to go all out in defense.

Attacking is their justice.

Not to mention, the offense under the Princeton system is really brave.

Looking back, Christie, who was facing off against Tan Yang, responded quietly with a three-point shot, and it damnit went in.

Swish-!
“Nice job!!

Doug Christie is the Kings' last-ditch defensive conscience.

However, his offensive talent is also very good.

At his peak, he could have the rookie version of McGrady serve as his substitute for two and a half years.

This season, averaging 10 points per game seems very mediocre, but that’s because the Kings have many offensive players who can score..."

While Christie can shoot, pass, and cover without the ball, he is also the Kings' perimeter defender. In addition to averaging 10 points per game, he also has an all-around performance of 4 assists and 4 rebounds, and this is not to mention that he can't see it. defensive data performance.

If you focus all your energy on offense and be more independent, you can touch the ceiling of the offensive firepower of a quasi-All-Star.

The offense is very good, and the blessing of Princeton's system allows him to get open shooting opportunities. No matter how good Qin Yang's defense is, it is useless.

This is the horror of Princeton's offensive system.

It can completely dismember the opponent's defense line, so that it can teach the opponent's defense line to run exhausted.

Just looking at the points lost, it is indeed the points lost by Tan Yang's defense. In fact, these are the points lost by the Mavericks' team defense.

11 to 11! !
In other words, the Kings don't understand defense, and the Mavericks definitely don't understand either.

In the following game, the two sides fought back and forth in a fast-paced chaotic battle, and no one could do anything to their opponent.

Nowitzki went crazy, shooting 6 of 4 from the field. Whether it was one-on-one with Divac, mismatched against Mike Bibby, or open shots, he made almost any shot, and he was in a very full state.

Qin Yang made 4 of 3 shots, 3 of 2 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throw. With Nowitzki's full offensive firepower, he got more relaxed offensive opportunities. He scored 9 points and 5 assists in a single quarter. He performed very well.

纳什4投2，三分3中1，进账5分2助攻，同样火力不俗。

After the first quarter, the Mavericks scored 32 points of offensive firepower in a single quarter.

In this era where defense is still the mainstream, he is already very brave.

I didn't expect that there is anyone more brave than the Mavericks' offensive firepower.

毕比6投4中，三分1中1，罚球1中1，打爆纳什，单节轰下10分2助攻2篮板。

斯托亚科维奇5投4中，三2中1，单节进账9分1助攻1篮板。

Bobby Jackson, who came off the bench, made 3 of 2, 1 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and also scored 7 points.

Coupled with the fact that everyone is on the same team and the offensive situation is flourishing, the Kings scored 38 points of offensive firepower in a single quarter, which is simply a fierce batch.

If the Mavericks' combat effectiveness is 92 points, then the Kings' offensive firepower is 98 points, still 6 points ahead of the Mavericks.

“The Kings, who have home court advantage, have a better offensive efficiency than the Mavericks.

After all, the basket belongs to the Kings..."

It's not that the Mavericks' offense is too weak, but that the Kings' offense is too strong.

Fortunately, the Mavericks did not panic. After all, from the beginning, Nelson did not expect to compete with the Kings' offensive hardness.

It's not enough for you to be tough, you have to be persistent.

In the rotation battle, he waved his hand, and Nowitzki, Walker, Jamison, Josh Howard and Qin Yang played.

The cards played are still three All-Stars + two super rising stars.

This "rich battle" advantage is the Mavericks' long-term capital.

For the Kings, Adelman allowed Stojakovic and Brad Miller to continue fighting, and rotated in sixth man Bobby Jackson, who was the bottom line on their bench.

The remaining two players, Darius Sangella and Anthony Pillar, were just make-up.

Seeing the rotation of two championship-level teams, Kenny Smith shook his head.

"Webber was injured, Turkoglu was poached by the Spurs, Scott Pollard was traded to the Pacers, Keon Clark left after his contract expired, and the Kings' bench fell apart.

They just have to fuck Stojakovic and Brad Miller..."

After all, Christie is almost 35 years old, Divac is almost 36 years old, Mike Bibby and Bobby Jack have overlapping positions, and future Elvis Presley Gerald Wallace is not reused, the Kings really don’t have many cards to play. .

Just looking at the lineup, the advantage goes to the Mavericks!
The second quarter started with the Mavericks having the offensive ball.

Qin Yang controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Bobby Jackson led the defense.

"Oh, Tan Yang directed the traffic and asked Nowitzki to pull out as a cover.

Bobby Jackson was blocked, Tan Yang broke through with the ball, he reached the penalty area, and Brad Miller swept over.

Beautiful, Tan Yang passed the ball to Walker on the right. After receiving the ball, he shot a two-point jumper from close range. Is there an easy chance to shoot..."

Bang-dang——!
The closer you are to the basket, the higher your hit rate. Lu Xun's words are true, but it's a pity that sometimes truth has to be beaten.

The problem is that the basket is not the Mavericks' own.

On the commentary table, Barkley looked at it and shook his head.

“5 for 0!!
Antoine Walker was terrible tonight.

In the first quarter, they went 4 for 0 and still couldn't find their form. In the second quarter, they still struggled until they had no friends.

Tan Yang almost put the basketball to his mouth, and he actually vomited it, it's like a ghost..."

After blacksmithing, Walker set up shop.

Fathead Walker, who is not in mad mode, can shoot with such dazzling eyes.

As long as his efficiency is very high, Lu Kai will not trade him half-sold and half-gifted.

"Oh, after the Mavericks hit the iron, the offense is not over yet.

Tan Yang took back the basketball that Walker missed.

He landed on the ground and took a step outside, and immediately passed the ball to Josh Howard who cut through the air. When he got the ball, he just dribbled the ball to the basket. Will there be a follow-up shot now..."

Bang-dang——!
The shot was closer this time, but unfortunately, with Brad Miller's rim protection and block, Josh Howard's layup also missed.

Seeing this situation, Tan Yang could only helplessly spread his hands.

His organizational support was not unreasonable. Unexpectedly, he had no choice but to encounter two "CBA" teammates in a row.

This is basketball, and this is the biggest headache for point guard players.

The scoring finisher is unreliable, so what else do you want from him?
Looking back, the Kings did not play the complicated Princeton tactics, but Bobby Jackson broke through with the ball.

“The breakthrough speed and center of gravity of 185 talents.

Tan Yang couldn't stand it, so he could only fight and retreat.

Oops, Bram Miller moved to the high post and worked with Bobby Jackson in a pick-and-roll.

Bobby Jackson broke through, he went in, he jumped out, passed the ball to Brad Miller, caught the ball, jumped up, raised his hand and made a jump shot..."

Swish-!
Knife dropped, goal scored.

Brad Miller made a solid two-pointer in the open space.

Tan Yang and Nowitzki chose to shrink and contain Bobby Jackson, but they failed to use the breakout tactics and could only listen to the gunfire. This was the offensive threat of the best 6th man last season.

As the king of a small team, it is impossible to defend, so we can only use the more economical "I don't understand offense, and you don't want to understand" rotation routine.

A small player with strong offensive power can become the biggest "protagonist" in the rotation battle.

Bobby Jackson came on the court and his main goal was to score.

The strong individual scores and sharp breakthroughs are really hard to stand up!

On the sidelines, Adelman nodded, very satisfied with Bobby Jackson's performance on the court.

What kind of "rich battle", with the "185" offensive talent that is impossible to defend, doesn't it know how to defend?

Even next, the Kings' defense didn't know how to defend, and they were all in trouble.

After all, Bobby Jackson only needs to spend less than 300 million in annual salary to match the Mavericks' 4000 million. This price-performance ratio is simply a huge profit.

On the court, Tan Yang controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Nowitzki continued to evacuate.

However, the player who was mainly defending Nowitzki was Darius Sangella, who was a second-round pick in 02 and was used to make up the numbers. The absolute advantage in the matchup fell to Nowitzki.

“Very nice organization and passing!
Qin Yang chose to pass the ball to Nowitzki and singled out Darius Sangela with the ball.

Outside the three-point line on the left, Nowitzki raised the ball facing the basket and made a three-point shot. When he saw Sangella coming close to interfere, Nowitzki feinted left and right, and then dribbled the ball through.

He went in, European-stepped for a layup, and finally it happened..."

Bang-dang——!
Good guy, Nowitzki broke through the defense, went to the basket and took a shot from close range, but in the end, it still missed.

Sure enough, this basket doesn't belong to the Mavericks, so it doesn't work no matter how hard I play. It's like a ghost.

Seeing this scene, Kenny Smith shook his head and said with a smile.

“That’s part of basketball!!
Tan Yang organized the pass very reasonably, and opportunities came out.

It's just a pity that God is not on their side..."

Nelson on the sidelines was speechless, but this situation is no longer a matter of the personal abilities of the players on the court.

After all, the Kings' defense is almost flat. If you can't score, that is already an unscientific concept.

He could only applaud the players on the court.

Give their offense credit, even though the process wasn't the best, their effort was certainly there.

Swish-!
Looking back, Anthony Miller used Brad Miller's screen to get rid of Josh Howard's defense, then took Brad Miller's call and made a three-point jumper from an open position, and steadily hit the three-point shot.

“It’s still a hit!!

The Kings' offense continued.

Their shooting was so unreasonable.

No matter how much you throw, you can’t prevent it, you can’t defend it at all…”

With a 5-0 offensive in the second quarter, the score difference between the two sides reached 11 points.

At this time, the score was 32 to 43.

The Mavericks had a lineup card advantage, but they couldn't convert it into points.

On the contrary, the Kings, relying on Bobby Jackson's personal ability and the offense supported by the Princeton system, are having a great time.

"This season, the Kings currently have a record of 20 wins and 6 losses.

Six of the losses were just one home loss, and they were lost to the Timberwolves.

In that night's game, the Kings led the Timberwolves by 30 points in the final 6 seconds of the fourth quarter.

With Garnett, yes, it was Garnett's two consecutive three-pointers that dragged the Kings into overtime.

Then, the Kings lost a 40-pointer in the last 3 seconds, losing their only home game..."

Forcing Garnett to shoot the three-point shot that he is not good at, he still hit two consecutive three-pointers to get the ticket to defeat the Kings.

The home of White Terror is really hard to chew on.

During the transition between offense and defense, seeing Walker, Josh Howard and Nowitzki acting like "CBA teammates" every offense, Tan Yang chose to play by himself.

"Driving the ball to the top arc, Tan Yang acted recklessly.

Bobby Jackson can't compare. At 185, he is strong offensively and weak defensively, so he can only fight and retreat.

Qin Yang broke through and stepped on the free throw line. Before Brad Miller could help defend him, he pulled out and shot. He raised his hand and made a small throw in the style of horseback riding and archery..."

Brad Miller tried his best to sweep over, but he just swept away Lonely. With such a shooting posture, he couldn't block the shot, he couldn't block the shot at all, he could only hear the gunshot.

Swish-!
Knife dropped, goal scored.

“Yes!!

The attack depends on Tan Yang's expression.

His team-building passes were perfect, but his teammates failed to score, wasting Tan Yang's assists.

It makes sense that he can do it by himself..."

His teammates were unreliable, so he had no choice but to wield the butcher's knife on his own.

After scoring the goal, Tan Yang still had no emotion on his face.

After all, he knows that the offensive ability based on Kidd's template cannot kill the game.

No problem, he also wants to be a good person, pass the ball well, organize and assist his teammates to score.

It's just a pity that now he has no choice.

34 to 43! !
The score difference is still 9 points.

On the court, the Kings attack.

Bobby Jackson chose to break through with the ball, Tan Yang fought and retreated, and Jamison rushed over to help defend.

“Bobby Jackson pulled, oh no, he jumped up and passed the ball.

It was given to Stojakovic who cut through the basket and took the ball to the basket for a layup. Will this happen..."

Bang-dang——!
Beep——!
Stojakovic's layup missed.

The referee's whistle sounded and Nowitzki was whistled for a blacksmith foul. Stojakovic got the opportunity to go to the free throw line and make a free throw.

Bobby Jackson's breakout system continued to contribute, and he attacked the Mavericks to protect the basket after the breakout. This is their defensive flaw. I really can't stand it!

Swish-!
Swish-!
Stojakovic showed no mercy when faced with the problem of sending points and made two free throws.

34 to 45! !
The point difference is still 11 points.

Next, Tan Yang continued to play music and then dribbled the ball to break through, but did not go up himself.

Trailing by 11 points, the opponent was still the Kings. They only relied on two points and two points to catch up, and there was no chance of reversal at all.

"Oh, Tan Yang broke through to the end, but he didn't shoot.

He passed the ball to the left three-point corner, Jamison received the ball, he was empty, he shot, and he shot a three-point jumper..."

Stojakovic cared about helping to defend Qin Yang, but could not care about Jamison. He could only bet that Jamison's three-point pistol was out of bullets.

Bang-dang——!
Opportunities popped up again.

Jamison's three-pointer was also useless.

Seeing this scene, Tan Yang felt that his teammates were all acting like him.

Josh Howard's layup to the basket, Nowitzki's breakthrough layup, Walker's long jump shot, and now Jamison's open three-pointer, none of them are reliable enough to score.

There's no point in playing this game.

Surrounded by crouching dragons and young phoenixes, he couldn't even carry them away.

With no choice, Nelson chose to replace Tan Yang with Nash. Perhaps in his opinion, the Mavericks' offense might be able to improve with a different brain for organizing and passing the ball.

However, Nash returned to the court and could not lead the Mavericks team.

At the end of the second quarter, the Mavericks only scored 17 points in a single quarter.

诺维茨基4中1，沃克2中0，芬利3中0，约什霍华德2中0……

You call this a dimensionality reduction attack?

Do you call this a battle of wealth?
It can only be said that shooting teams are just not stable.

If it’s accurate, it’s a super god. If it’s not accurate, it’s a super ghost.

After all, the Kings bench was gone and they only scored an mediocre 25 points in a single quarter, but it was enough.

At the end of the first half, the score was 49 to 63. The Mavericks entered the locker room to rest with a 14-point disadvantage.
