Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 121 With two top point guards, Nowitzki only needs to be a ruthless knife!

"Tin Yang, it's Tan Yang again!

His organization and support for passing the ball are simply too good
Nice.

In addition to not being as fierce as the Mavericks in terms of shooting firepower, the Sonics are also not even close to their opponents in terms of organizing passes and controlling the field.

Whether it's the All-Star Nash or the treasured rookie Tan Yang, they are all organizational talents that the Sonics lack in their "one-for-one, four-shooter" lineup..."

The one-star and four-shooting Magic team led by future Warcraft Howard can be said to be an enhanced version of the "one basket leading four shots" SuperSonics team. Without Turkoglu's organizational forward tactical system, he will not be able to play.

At this time, the Sonics had no organization and support, and they did not have the low-post containment power of Howard's star. They could only rely on Ray Allen to play DDM raids. However, Ray Allen was not a top-notch dribbling defender. He is a shooting guard without the ball, unable to play the role of a card dealer, and cannot connect the Sonics' offense at all.

Coupled with the Mavericks' "catch the big and let go" defensive approach, the Sonics' team offensive system was dismembered, leaving only the individual stars of each star to test the Mavericks' defense with their individual offensive shooting abilities.

"There was no Nash on the court, so Ray Allen chose to name Tan Yang.

He broke through with the ball, Tan Yang fought and retreated, Jamison rushed to help defend against the attack, Ray Allen couldn't move, and his shooting touch was not online. He did not shoot randomly and chose to pass the ball to Radmano on the left. Vicky.

Catching the ball, raising it, and raising your hand is a long-distance two-point jump shot. Is it possible..."

Bang-dang——!
Shooting the basket under intense pressure, Radmanovic failed to withstand the pressure, and his shot was soft and just lingered on the outside.

Off the court, Nate McMillan's face was very ugly, and he couldn't even test the Mavericks' basket with open shots. What can you do to keep a 50-50 score against a team like the Mavericks?
“The Sonics are best at shooting, but they still couldn’t score.

The rebound was picked off by Walker and he immediately distributed the ball to Tan Yang for advancement.

Hey, after the Sonics hit the ground running on offense, they retreated pretty quickly. Let’s see if they can defend against the Mavericks’ offensive firepower?
In the positional battle, Qin Yang controlled the ball to the top arc, chose to direct traffic, and asked for a tactical coordination.

Nowitzki moved from the left to the top arc to provide a screen for Tan Yang.

Ronald Murray was blocked, and Qin Yang broke through with the ball. Oh no, he passed the ball to Nowitzki who cut in after the screen.

Receive the ball, lift it up, and shoot. Oh, that's not right. Nowitzki mobilized Radmanovic's defense, chose to distribute the ball to Jamison, who cut in from the left, took the ball and rushed to the basket for a layup... "

Boom, swish—!
The closer to the basket, the higher the hit rate. Lu Xun's words are not deceiving.

Jamison verified this truth. He cut without the ball, received Nowitzki's supporting pass, rushed to the basket and easily scored the damn basketball, continuing the Mavericks' offense.

39 to 26! !
The score difference became 13 points.

Radmanovic is the highest point on the court for the Sonics, and he was vacated to defend Nowitzki, leaving only undrafted Reggie Evans to guard the basket. Facing someone like Jamison, What can you do to resist the impact of talented players?
You can't stand it.

“The shooting is not good, the rim protection is not good, the organization is not good, and the cards are not strong.

Now it's a headwind situation again, the score is behind, the star player is cheating again, and under the one-sided impact of dimensionality reduction, the Sonics can't withstand it, and this game is about to end.

Oh, Ray Allen stood up. He faced Tan Yang's block, one step away from the three-point line, and chose to force a three-pointer to save his life. This ball is a superstar ball, can there be any..."

Tan Yang was called out and hit by an unreasonable long-distance three-point shot. He had no defensive skills and could only bet that Ray Allen's three-point pistol was out of bullets.

Bang-dang——!
You guessed it, Ray Allen has no bullets in his three-point pistol.

By the way, if I hadn't forced Ray Allen, I might not have known how useless he would be if he forced himself to attack when he was the core.

After all, Ray Allen's real top thing is his shooting skills, that is, he is a craftsman. If his skills are not in good condition and he can be tough, then damn it.

“Three-pointers and three-pointers are missed, two-pointers and two-pointers are no good.

We can only continue to try three-pointers, but they miss, and the Sonics are hopeless..."

Bang-dang——!
Looking back, Qin Yang responded with a three-pointer against Ray Allen. Although he failed to make a hit, the shot made the Sonics tremble.

As long as the three-pointer is hit, their only choice is to shoot.

At this time, the Sonics could only play Lewis on the bench, and then Brent Barry returned to the court.

There is no choice. The Sonics can only go out with all their main players to fight in the shooting battle.

Even if they fail to make a shot, they still have no choice but to continue betting on shots in Huashan.

This is their only winning formula, and the bullets can only continue to fly for a while longer.

Not to mention, Lewis came back again. Instead of staying in the corner waiting for the pass to shoot a three-pointer, he mentioned the high arc, cooperated with Ray Allen in the pick-and-roll, and then pulled up and made a strong shot. The result...

Swish-!
……

Swish-!
……

Lewis' three-point shot actually opened.

This is the card of a top shooter. If you let go and swing, if your shooting touch feels like diarrhea, you really can't stop it no matter what.

After all, everyone has the time to eat dumplings, and if the shooter is accurate, they will take off.

This is common sense! !
They can ignore any situation and any defense. Besides, the Mavericks have no defense either!

In the second quarter of the game, the Sonics, who were hit by the reduction in dimensionality, relied on Lewis's superb performance to make 6 of 5 shots and 5 of 4 three-pointers. He scored 14 points in a single quarter, helping the team to a score of 32 to 34. Biting the Mavericks' tail.

At the end of the first half, the score was 69 to 58. The Mavericks entered the locker room to rest with only an 11-point lead.

“Not to mention, this Sonics team’s shooting skills are awesome.

The twin stars in the team, as long as one shot explodes, they have the ability to force a 50-50 draw with any team, and it is not obtained randomly.

I don’t know if they are nice or not when it comes to shooting, but there are really a lot of talents there..."

In the second quarter, Nowitzki made 6 of 4 shots, 2 of 1 three-pointers, and scored 9 points, 2 assists, and 2 rebounds in a single quarter. His performance was already very brave. I didn't expect that Lewis' performance could be even more brave.

It's simply unreasonable.

The Mavericks had an advantage, but they couldn't turn it into a lead.

After 15 minutes of rest and recuperation, the game came back in the second half. Both teams started with their main players, then played music, and then played again.

“The Sonics still have the offensive ball!
Barry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and continued to cooperate with Ray Allen who was brought up in the frontcourt.

Ray Allen took the ball and hit Nash, dribbling the ball through, oh no, he went in, jumped out again, and then raised his hand and made a three-point pull-up jumper..."

This is a typical shooting guard's misplaced pull-up to hit the point guard, or a pull-up that is unguarded.

Tan Yang on the right and Finley on the left couldn't even help the defense wipe their butts.

Then don't do anything, just listen to the gunshot.

Swish-!
"Yes, finally, finally waiting for you.

Ray Allen's three-pointer, he made a mistake.

After scoring the goal, he roared and beat his chest. However, Ray Allen, who was originally a cold-faced killer, also wanted to vent his emotional side.

He is so difficult!

The one who was called on to face off was Nash. If he didn't score, it would be a blow to him. Fortunately, he held on..."

On the sidelines, Nate McMillan jumped up and pumped his fist in celebration.

coming! !
Ray Allen's touch is finally here.

There is still hope for the next game.

If Lewis can still maintain his touch, and team up with Ray Allen, it is not an unimaginable picture to die in the Mavericks.

On the court, offense and defense switch.

Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt. He had no intention of regaining the court and continued to distribute the ball to Tan Yang who was in the high position. Then, he cut without the ball to the right side of the 45-degree three-point line to serve as a fort.

Tan Yang couldn't help but give a thumbs up to this kind of player who doesn't care about statistics, but just wins the game.

You know, this season is Nash's contract year. Good guy, he doesn't steal statistics. He is simply a talent.

You are noble, you are amazing!

Naturally, Tan Yang did as he wished. Instead of passing the ball to him, he turned over Nowitzki's card.

"Moving from the left wing to the top arc, receiving a pass from Tan Yang, Nowitzki raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper..."

Radmanovic desperately reached out to block the shot, but at 2 meters, he was still a European-style floor player. Facing Nowitzki, who was 08 meters tall and slightly leaning back, he could only listen. Gunfire.

Swish-!
“Great job!!

Nowitzki's three-point response also hit! !
His shooting ability is too strong, Ray Allen scored three-pointers, and Nowitzki can also hit them.

bring it on! !
Let’s hurt each other.

Next, let’s continue the shooting battle to see whose shot is harder and whose shot lasts longer..."

72 to 61! !
The point difference is still 11 points.

Off the court, Nelson looked very calm.

In terms of cards, the advantage lies with the Mavericks, and in terms of offensive talent, it still lies with the Mavericks.

And then there's the organization, well, the defense...

Advantage game, how to lose?
Fighting for the star?
Nowitzki is braver than Ray Allen, what else can you fight for?

Swish-!
“So hard!!

Another three-pointer from Ray Allen. Nash's defense has been stuck in Ray Allen's face, but it is of no use.

Ray Allen has found his touch, and as long as he dares to take shots, he can score three points.

Oh, the Sonics with full hand properties have appeared, so I won’t feel sleepy..."

72 to 64! !
The point difference is only 8 points.

Lewis broke out, then Ray Allen broke out, and the game was still in suspense.

On the court, the Mavericks players showed no panic on their faces.

Fighting against them, or fighting against them in a shooting battle, has never been seen in the NBA.

Even the Kings, competing against the Mavericks, are blessed by the Princeton system.

The Sonics only have Lewis or Ray Allen making unreasonable moves, and at most they can only add a misplaced shot after a pick-and-roll.

It's very hard, but how long can it last?

This is very doubtful!
Looking back, Nash controlled the ball in the frontcourt and passed the ball to Tan Yang. Nowitzki continued to move to the top arc and reached out to catch the ball. However, Tan Yang did not favor him alone, but lobbed the ball to Walker who was evacuated to the corner. , the latter turned around and raised the ball to shoot, but after attracting the insider Potapenko to sweep out, he did not shoot.

"Walker passed the ball to the left basket, and Finley cut in from the air. He jumped high with the ball and rushed to the basket for a dunk..."

Bang-dang——!
Walker scored with a dunk, continuing to add to the Mavericks' offensive firepower.

“The Mavericks offense still hits!!

This offense relies on teamwork to pass the basketball.

They can either compete with the Sonics in a shooting battle to score, or they can score in other ways. They have a lot of options.

In terms of offensive combat effectiveness, the Mavericks are not just one floor higher than the Sonics..."

It's as high as three or four stories.

The Sonics have no choice but to shoot the ball.

This is undoubtedly a basketball skill that requires high intensity, efficiency and operation.

74 to 64! !
The score difference is still 10 points.

In the next game, Ray Allen continued to call out Nash, and Tan Yang came to help defend in advance. However, Ray Allen did not go up by himself, but distributed the ball, assisted the right side and cut into the three-point line, scoring two open points. Barry took a jump shot and made a steady two-pointer.

And this is just the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, Ray Allen, who felt hot, played his best combination of sudden shooting and passing.

In the next round, when Tan Yang or Finley hesitated to help defend, they suddenly made another three-point pull-up jumper against Nash's block...

Swish-!
“The three-point shot from the Thunderbolt was too great.

This is the rhythm of one person leading his teammates and challenging the entire Mavericks team! ! "

"The Mavericks called a timeout, and Ray Allen made 3 of 3 three-pointers in the second half and also assisted his teammate to hit a two-pointer.

Ray Allen, who is full of firepower, is still very scary. Next, let's see how the Mavericks respond..."

After the timeout, the Mavericks made no personnel adjustments.

The Mavericks attacked, and Nash copied Tan Yang's work, turned over Nowitzki, withstood Radmanovic's block, and returned a three-point goal.

Tan Yang began to focus on defense.

"Oh!
The whole court pressed hard, this was for Tan Yang to defeat his son Ray Allen! !

This is also the most common defensive tactic of the Mavericks, which is to catch the big players and let go of the small ones.

Now it's nothing more than when the defense escalates to the whole court, oh, Tan Yang is blocked by Radmanovic, and Finley immediately changes defense.

This is not treating Radmanovic or Barry's offense as alive..."

The SuperSonics basketball was passed into Lewis' hands.

Two guns!
Ray Allen was targeted, so Lewis had to step up. However, Lewis' three-pointer didn't work.

Bang-dang——!
The three-pointer missed.

The offensive firepower that relies on state is so unstable.

Subsequently, Lewis's three-pointer failed, and Ray Allen was targeted by the full-court press.

At this moment, another flaw of the Sonics has come to light again. The question is whether they can organize passes and control the field.

In the next game, Ray Allen couldn't catch the basketball at all. He took the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, which greatly consumed his physical energy. It was a disaster for a shooter-type scorer.

Bang-dang——!
“Ray Allen was severely guarded from three-pointers.

If you try a two-point shot, you will die if you try..."

Ray Allen's offense suddenly failed again.

Lewis's shot was also inaccurate.

Good guy, it's another situation where two stars are sleeping together. The Sonics can only try to let role players support the situation.

Not to mention, Ray Allen and Lewis restrained most of the Mavericks' defensive energy. After the Sonics adapted in the first half, the offensive shots of the role players in the second half did improve a lot.

However, the Mavericks also have some unreasonable points when it comes to shooting.

"Tin Yang supported the ball on the right side, and he continued to turn over Nowitzki's cards.

Another overhead arc pass, a three-point pull-up jumper, what else..."

Swish-!
With his hand raised and the knife falling, Nowitzki made every shot and scored empty-handedly into the net.

And this is just the beginning.

Compared to Ray Allen and Lewis, Nowitzki is much happier.

Although Nash's defense is terrible, there are no mistakes in passing organization, and with Tan Yang's organizational support, Nowitzki only needs to be a ruthless knife.

Swish-!
Nash and Nowitzki played a pick-and-roll, and Nowitzki blocked Barry's shot.

Another two-pointer scored three points.

Then, it was Tan Yang's pass. Nowitzki continued to take three-pointers and hit three-pointers.

“The game was spent!!

Nowitzki was on fire and dominated the game.

The Sonics' interior players are not strong enough and cannot limit Nowitzki's offense at all.

Expand the strength of the inside defense and their basket will explode.

In the Mavericks formation, it’s not just Nowitzki’s offense that poses a threat…”

In the third quarter of the game, Nowitzki had a highlight performance. He made 7 of 6 shots, 5 of 5 three-pointers, and 1 of 1 free throws. He output a terrifying performance of 18 points in a single quarter. When he encountered the Sonics insiders, whether it was Lewis or Radmanovic and even Potapenko played casually, and whoever they encountered was unlucky.

Sure enough, in the fierce competition in the Western Conference, anyone without top insiders is not qualified to participate in a winning conference with the championship teams.

It can only be said that in the Western Theater Conference at this time, the competition for top inside players is too fierce.

People like Lewis, Odom, Gasol, Camby, Stoudemire, Kaman and Brand are just younger brothers in front of the "four big players".

In the third quarter, with Nowitzki's superstar performance, the Mavericks scored a terrifying 36 points in a single quarter.

Ray Allen started the third quarter very bravely, but under the pressure of Tan Yang and Finley, the subsequent offense was slow. In the third quarter, he made 7 of 4 shots and 3 of 3, scoring 11 points and 1 assist. , not even enough to feed the cat.

Coupled with Lewis's performance of 5 of 2 shots, 1 of 0 three-pointers, 2 of 1 free throws, and scoring 5 points, the offensive power of the two of them can't compare to Nowitzki's superb firepower alone. The role players also failed to stand up, scoring only 27 points in a single quarter.

The score was 105 to 85. After three quarters, the Mavericks lost the game.

The main players of the Mavericks began to clock out.

The following fourth quarter was just a formality.

Om-!
Full match time is over.

The score was 133 to 120. With a 13-point advantage, the Mavericks easily defeated the 9- SuperSonics, extending their winning streak to games.

诺维茨基22投16中，三分11中8，罚球5中3，高效地轰下43分3助攻5篮板，打出MVP级别的统治表现。

Qin Yang clocked in the third quarter, and with Nowitzki's help, he was still able to score 17 points and 11 assists, which was pretty good.

After all, Nash is in a contract year and has played a little more time. He has a near triple-double output of 19 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, and his performance is also very good.

The Mavericks' new three Musketeers scored 79 points together.

而雷阿伦20中8，进账20分4助攻，刘易斯16中9，三分9中5，罚球8中7，进账30分9篮板，合砍50分。

This is the gap. They are not the same team. The Sonics did not lose unfairly.
