Countercurrent and become a superstar

The brilliant tactics in Chapter 134 are just lies to cover up the thin lineup and the lack of quality of the stars!

Six minutes passed in the first quarter, and the score difference between the two sides was still not widened.

Old Nelson couldn't help it! !
This is the "horse" of the Mavericks, and the basket belongs to the Mavericks. As an offensive team, they can't overwhelm the Spurs. So if they move to the Spurs' home court, won't they only have the fate of being slaughtered?
In the playoff series, home court advantage is still very important. For the Mavericks at home, just a tie is not enough. You have to take the initiative on the court, crush the opponent, and defeat the opponent to advance. The true embodiment of grace.

If the home game is tied at 50-50, even if you win in the end, the game will hang in the balance when you go to your opponent's home court...

On the court, Nash's defense was broken by Parker again.

Parker broke through their defense and finally assisted Duncan for an easy dunk at the basket.

If he can't help it, he doesn't have to endure it anymore.

"Huh!!
The Mavericks took the lead in making personnel adjustments. How will Nelson make adjustments?
Oops, Josh Howard was used to replace Nash. Is this to strengthen defense?
That's right, the Mavericks have lost too many points, and it's difficult to widen the point difference..."

With Nash off the court, the Mavericks' lineup now consists of Nowitzki, Walker, Finley, Josh Howard and Tan Yang.

The score was 16 to 15. The Spurs, who had just scored, were in the lead. The court was still anxious.

In transition, the Mavericks attack.

Qin Yang controlled the ball to the frontcourt, faced Parker's lead defense, and immediately directed Josh Howard to use the top arc to provide him with cover and cooperation.

"Parker got blocked by Josh Howard and Ginobili switched over.

Oh, Tan Yang pulled out, he raised his hand and took a three-point pull-up jumper. Oh no, he flicked the basketball in the air and passed it to Josh Howard who cut into the paint after being screened.

Beautiful pick-and-roll cooperation, Josh Howard caught the ball and pulled out of the free throw line. Before Duncan could sweep over him, he raised his hand and made a two-point fadeaway jumper..."

Parker desperately pursued the defense, and Duncan bared his teeth and swept over. Unfortunately, the Spurs' internal and external defense nets did not close back. Josh Howard, the fish, took off early, and they could only listen to the gunshot.

Swish-!
“Great job!!

Josh Howard scored goals just after he came on the field, and he played very hard! !
Of course, it is also inseparable from Tan Yang's command. After all, he is too familiar with Josh Howard's ability usage book. Knowing how to use it is the most deadly..."

16 to 17! !
After scoring the goal, Tan Yang nodded. He was very satisfied with Josh Howard's "three-point axe" attribute. Coupled with his reliable mid-range shot, he is indeed an essential medicine and expert in attacking tough battles.

Off the court, Nelson nodded, quite satisfied with his arrangement. At least their offensive firepower would not drop too much.

Of course, what he cares about most is the defensive changes.

At this time, the Mavericks' three perimeter shooters have become Finley, Tan Yang and Josh Howard. Their defensive ability is called full.

On the court, as soon as Parker controlled the ball and reached the frontcourt, he was immediately pressed by Tan Yang.

“Parker versus Tan Yang.

Still didn't mess around and continued to hang to Duncan under the basket.

The boring Spurs are at it again, with one move that never ends.

Duncan caught the ball and was flanked by Finley and Nowitzki.

Oops, the ball was passed to Bowen in the corner again. When Finley turned back to defend, Tan Yang also surrounded him to cut off Bowen's pass to Parker..."

At this time, faced with the Mavericks' "release tactics" and blocking passes, Bowen did not mess around. He did not try a three-point shot. Instead, he dribbled the ball in and broke through. Then, he jumped high and threw the basketball to It moved into the hands of Parker at the top arc.

“Bowen passed a long transfer ball.

The Spurs' offensive area on the left is blocked again. Next, the basketball is distributed to the right perimeter and let's see how the Spurs attack..."

Parker caught the ball one step away from the top arc three-point line. Tan Yang quickly returned to lead the defense. Josh Howard also blocked Parker's breakthrough route. As for the three-point shot?

The question is that Parker's three-point shot was not regarded as alive.

As for a breakthrough?

Tan Yang leads the defense, and Finley and Josh Howard on the right and left can help defend at any time. It is no longer the "sweet spot" against Nash, and Parker can't hit it either.

"The basketball was handed over to Ginobili on the right wing. After the three threats stepped forward, Yaodao dribbled the ball to the right and broke through.

While Josh Howard was fighting and retreating, Walker came to help defend from the basket.

A beautiful pull-up dribble, Ginobili changed the direction of the basketball to the left and continued to break forward, oh no, he pulled out, raised his hand and made a two-point pull-up jump shot..."

Josh Howard flew over to block the shot, and Qin Yang also defended to the right, blocking Ginobili's breakthrough and forcing Ginobili to shoot away from the basket.

Unexpectedly, Ginobili took the initiative to jump into the Mavericks' zone defense trap and used the star's unreasonable mid-range shots to test the Mavericks' defense.

Bang-dang——!
“No hit!!

The Mavericks' defense withstood the test of Ginobili's mid-range shot.

Finley did a great job moving to the basket and protecting the rebound.

After getting the basketball, he immediately pushed the ball forward to counterattack. When he saw Bowen rushing over, he chose to pass the ball to Tan Yang who was about to rush to the center circle.

Hey, Tan Yang got the basketball, and without even thinking about it, he just sent the damn basketball to the frontcourt.

Josh Howard jumped out like a cheetah, using his physical talent visible to the naked eye to leave Ginobili behind.

He rushed to the frontcourt and got the basketball, leaving only the basket in front of him..."

Bang-dang——!
Josh Howard rushed to the frontcourt to get the ball, jumped high, and hit Huashan with a powerful split dunk, slamming the basketball into the basket and scoring the Mavericks' counterattack goal.

16 to 19! !
“On both ends of the offense and defense, very nice transition.

The Mavericks played a rare offensive and defensive scene. "Barkley looked at it and nodded his head in praise.

“I have to say, the Mavericks’ front office has great vision.

In the 03 draft, they selected two treasure players.

Tan Yang didn't mention it anymore. He already mentioned the starting list and put Nash on the bench.

Josh Howard's immediate combat ability and both offensive and defensive attributes make up for the shortcomings of the Mavericks' perimeter defense..."

On the sidelines, Bo Povich's face was a little solemn.

With Josh Howard on the court, their Spurs "GDP combination" offense was cut and contained.

At this time, the Mavericks' defensive strategy seized on the bigness of the "GDP combination" and let the "smallness" of other role players take action.

Bowen's "we'll do it" shooting and Nesterovich's low-post offense that's not enough to feed the cat can't kill the game at all.

Especially against the Mavericks, who have the league's offensive ceiling.

Thinking of this, Bo Povich decisively called another timeout.

"Hey, the Mavericks just made personnel adjustments and played two good rounds.

The Spurs immediately followed up and made tactical adjustments.

Interrupting the Mavericks' rhythm while also making tactical adjustments?

Bo Povich's ability to adjust on the spot is probably unique in the league..."

After all, Jackson Jackson can only "sleep", and Bo Povich's reading and adjustment of the game seems to be a high-energy existence.

After the timeout, Nesterovic was replaced by Turkoglu. At this time, the Spurs' lineup became Duncan, Turkoglu, Bowen, Ginobili and Parker.

The Mavericks also made regular substitution adjustments, and Walker was replaced by Jamison.

On the court, the Spurs attack.

"Parker controlled the ball to the frontcourt and distributed it to Duncan.

Alas, Duncan quickly transferred the ball to Bowen, and then Bowen also quickly passed the ball back to Parker.

After one lap, the basketball was returned to Parker's hands.

Without thinking, Parker broke through to the right. Tan Yang's position just now was to the left and there was no way he could come back. It's Josh Howard again, he comes to help on defense.

Parker burst in, jumped out again, and passed the ball to Ginobili, who cut in from the right wing. Josh Howard followed up with a sliding step, and Jamison came under the right basket to help defend.

Ginobili chased Josh Howard and broke through. He rushed in and caused Josh Howard to foul. At the same time, Ginobili's offense was not over yet..."

Beep——!
Swish-!
The whistle sounded and Ginobili's offense ended.

While the goal was whistled to be valid, there was also an opportunity for additional penalties.

"Very nice 2+1!!" Kenny Smith exclaimed.

“The Spurs’ tactical execution is so impressive!!

After understanding that the Mavericks deployed their defensive energy in the left offensive area, the Spurs did not avoid playing.

Instead, he will use his tactics to attack the east and west in order to teach the Mavericks' defense. That's like focusing on one thing at the expense of the other..."

Buckley next to him nodded.

“There is indeed something!!

Parker lobbed the ball to Duncan, then passed the ball to Bowen, and then the basketball returned to Parker's hands.

It looks like I'm fighting loneliness, but I'm actually using a tactic that combines internal and external tactics.

At this time, Finley retreated to defend, and Qin Yang cut Bowen's pass to the left.

When Parker got the ball again, the defensive situation on the court was different.

It is quite possible that Tan Yang was swung to the left, and Parker could break through. While the Mavericks' zone defense 'chain' is running, there will also be gaps in the east wall to make up for the west wall.

What's even more incredible is that the Spurs responded to this flaw with continuous raids, preventing the Mavericks from connecting from the beginning to the end...

This is called experience! !
At the same time, I also teach the two rookies of the Mavericks how to behave, and welcome them to the NBA playoffs stage..."

Whether it is Tan Yang or Josh Howard, although they both show good talent and immediate combat ability, they do not have enough grasp of game experience. The water here is too deep.

Swish-!
Despite the boos from the home fans, Ginobili still showed no mercy and steadily scored the extra penalty.

19 to 19! !
The Mavericks' lead was instantly wiped out by the Spurs' offense after a wave of fierce operations. The situation on the court was still a back-and-forth situation.

On the court, Tan Yang didn't panic.

Although the Spurs' recent tactics were brilliant, they were just covering up the lies of their thin lineup and insufficient stars.

The reason why we need to put a lot of effort into tactical coordination is because the players are not strong enough, right?

Taking possession of the ball in the frontcourt, facing Parker's leading defense, Tan Yang continued to direct traffic.

"Oh, this round, Tan Yang ordered Nowitzki to cover for him.

Parker was blocked again. Oh no, Parker quickly bypassed Nowitzki's screen and slid in front of Tan Yang who was about to break through.

Bang-!
What the hell?

Parker was knocked away, and Tan Yang broke through and ran into the inside.

When he got to the free throw line, he shot like an arrow on horseback..."

Duncan tried his best to sweep over, but unfortunately, he was stunned by Parker.

He thought that Parker's defense was not good, but he did not expect that Parker would not be able to do anything in front of Tan Yang. He tried his best to wipe Parker's butt, but it was too late and he could only hear the gunshot.

Swish-!
The knife falls and the ball goes in.

"Qin Yang succeeded in breaking through and attacking!!
But, what is this operation?
When Qin Yang faced off against Parker, he clearly had the advantage of physical strength, but why did he always have to direct traffic and cover tactics from the start?
Wouldn't such an action seem redundant?
Tan Yang’s way of playing is confusing..."

19 to 21! !
After scoring the goal, Tan Yang did not compete with Parker, but quickly retreated back with an expression of emotion.

Snapped--!
When returning to defense, Nowitzki continued to high-five Tan Yang.

“Nice job!!

Continue to play like this and attack more resolutely. "

"..." Tan Yang nodded and asked the man with the "basic non-attack" template to be more decisive in attacking?

It may sound unreliable, but it should be enough to deal with a third-grade Parker.

Looking back, the Spurs attack.

"Hey guys, Parker still gives the damn basketball to Duncan.

Oh, Duncan didn't pass the ball to Bowen this time.

He dug into the basket, chose to hand the basketball to Parker who came in from the air, and then raised the high post to block Parker..."

Boom, Tan Yang was blocked. Parker used Duncan's cover to quickly break through to the end. However, he did not shoot, but attracted Jamison's basket block and passed the ball to Turkoglu on the right.

"Driving the ball under the basket, taking a step forward, then rushing to the basket for a layup, and there..."

Swish-!
The knife falls and the ball goes in.

Turkoglu easily broke through for a layup and scored two points.

“It’s still a hit!!

The Spurs' offense continued.

In and out, combination of inside and outside, combination of break-out, plus DDM tactics.

With the Mavericks' defensive ability, it would be a dream to stop the Spurs' continuous offensive..."

21 to 21! !
Off the court, Nelson looked very solemn.

They took Nash off the field, but it still had no effect. The Spurs' offense was still unstoppable.

With Nash on the court, the Spurs' offense only needs a second floor.

Nash came off the court, and the Spurs raised their offensive level to a third level. They just had to be more patient and team-oriented to still be able to score the damn basketball into the basket.

“The Spurs’ offensive firepower is also championship-level.

Playing defensive tactics just to be more stable does not mean that their offensive firepower is not brave.

At this time, four of the five players on the Spurs team have European league backgrounds.

The team-based dynamic European offensive system is really hard for ordinary teams to defend against..."

Next, the Spurs' offense was still unstoppable.

The combination of internal and external tactics combined with DDM made the Mavericks' defense look exhausted and exhausted.

The most painful thing is that the Spurs are likely to have discovered the referee's whistleblowing standards for this game.

I found that the penalty scale was a bit tight and biased toward offense, so I immediately adapted. While focusing on offense, I also did not forget to rush to the basket to cause damage, and took a lot of free throw opportunities.

The Mavericks seem to be focusing only on jump shots and turning a deaf ear to foul calls.

Although they clearly had home court advantage, the home whistle was taken advantage of by the Spurs.

Sure enough, the Spurs in the playoffs are different.

Om-!
After the first quarter, the score was 33 to 29. The Spurs turned away and took a 4-point lead.
