Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 67 Using cards from the small ball era to play against the big ball era is tantamount to committing suicide!

"It's actually 0-6!"

Josh Howard couldn't help but sigh softly when he saw the team's one-sided situation.

"I guess 0-8 won't be far away!!" Tan Yang, as a walk-on player, couldn't help but answer.

Old Nelson, who was sitting relatively close, originally had a serious face, but now he heard that the confidence of the disciples on the bench was wavering, which was undesirable, so he calmly replied.

"No hurries!
The game has just begun.

For the offensive team, whether it is 6 points behind or 8 points behind, it doesn't matter, someone will take action to chase the points..."

Nelson had just finished speaking. Nash used Fordson's continuous screens to break through and pass the ball out. Finley, who received the basketball, continued to rush in and wanted to lay up, but was blocked by O'Neal's palm.

Snapped--!
O'Neal's defense is not good, but even a tissue is useful to him.

As a 2 meter tall man, O'Neal is a deterrent just by standing in the penalty area.

The Mavericks' offense still couldn't get started.

But the Lakers' offense continued to attack.

Payton finally made a move, stepped down and dribbled through, went to the basket, switched to his left hand and hit the board for a layup, sending the damn basketball into the basket.

0 to 8! !
Seeing this scene, Nelson couldn't help but call a timeout. He wanted to interrupt the Lakers' offensive rhythm, but also wanted his own team to wake up and regain their offensive rhythm.

Not to mention, taking a break is really useful.

After the timeout, Nowitzki hit a long fadeaway two-point jumper against Devin George's block...

Swish-!
“This is a superstar ball!

There's nothing Devin George can do.

That is King Nuotian, and it is an impossible task to defend against his attacks every round..."

2 to 8! !
The Lakers don't care about the Mavericks scoring, because with the Mavericks' undefended attributes, they will only lose more points, and the Lakers will naturally score more.

Sure enough, the Lakers picked up the pace.

Payton quickly controlled the ball to the frontcourt, waited for O'Neal to rush into the penalty area, and immediately passed the ball to Fisher on the left. Just when the Mavericks thought the Lakers were attacking on the left, Fisher quickly passed the basketball back and started again. Payton got the basketball back and lobbed a high ball under the basket. O'Neal jumped up to catch the ball and then jumped up for a dunk.

Bang-dang——!
The mediocre goal was to bully Fordson's height.

"It was a dream night. The Mavericks used Fordson to defend O'Neal. What the hell was this?

It is said that Nelson is a scientist. What the hell kind of science is this?

I don’t see the science of attacking, I only see the science of being beaten..."

……

Old Nelson on the sidelines was also stunned.

He also called for a timeout and tried to put Jamison on the court to work hard and continue to increase his offensive attributes. But this is the result?

The Mavericks played with five All-Stars, and their offensive chemistry was terrible.

In the first quarter of the game, Nash was lost in Fisher's crab-step defense. He made 3 of 0 shots and actually missed a score.

You failed to guard against it, and the offense actually failed. In addition to not scoring well, Han Zhen only contributed 3 assists and 2 turnovers.

Finley made 2 of 0 shots and also didn't score, which is quite reasonable. After all, Payton is a defensive superstar.

He had no chance in front of Payton for two-pointers from the outside. He broke through and was easily blown away by O'Neal to attack. He then shot a three-pointer from the corner. This is a shooting area where he is not good at.

The Mavericks' three musketeers, except for Nowitzki, performed fairly well. Although the game didn't start well, they got better and better as they played. They made 8 of 4 shots, 4 of 3 free throws, and scored 11 points and 4 rebounds.

This score accounted for three-quarters of the Mavericks' 15 points in the first quarter. It can be said that it carried the Mavericks forward.

Walker went 3 for 1, Jamison went 2 for 1...

The Mavericks all-star offensive lineup, but there are two groups of Crouching Dragons and Young Phoenixes. They can produce such offensive efficiency and basically no defense, so it is not surprising that the game is disrupted.

After the first quarter, the score was 15:29, and the Lakers held a 14-point lead.

And this is not the most terrifying thing about the Lakers. The most frightening thing is that under the triangle offensive tactics with O'Neal as the core, they have a situation where all the people are involved and more points are blooming.

O'Neal also scored a few goals in the beginning, making 4 of 3 free throws, 4 of 1 free throws, 7 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block. This performance was quite unremarkable. After all, he was playing against Fordson is 2 meters tall.

But playing next to O'Neal can make teammates better...

佩顿7中3，进账6分5助攻3篮板，费舍尔5中2，罚球2中1，进账5分1助攻，德文乔治2中2，进账4分1篮板，马龙状态稀烂4投0中，靠罚球的2中2，进账2分4篮板。

To be fair, the Lakers' offensive efficiency is average, but they can still beat the Mavericks.

The question is, it's not that the Lakers' offense is too strong, but that the Mavericks' defense is too bad.

At the end of the first quarter, Barkley commented.

"With the blessing of O'Neal's thick thigh, the Lakers played the script of the Mavericks' All-Star offensive lineup.

Although the Mavericks have an all-star lineup, it's a pity that they didn't have an organization and played haphazardly, but they got the script that the Lakers should have got.

After all, Kobe is absent, and Payton and Malone need to adapt. O'Neal should be the only one who can play, but in the end, there is only one person in the Mavericks who can play. What can you use to top it up..."

Only one sentence flashed through Tan Yang's mind: He took too big a step and tore his balls.

That's the case for the Mavericks at this moment.

Using the cards of the small ball era to play the big ball era is tantamount to committing suicide.

In the second quarter, the Mavericks fell behind by 14 points and had no choice but to rely on their main force.

Nowitzki is still young and undefended, so he can continue to play.

Antoine Walker is only 27 years old and can also be fucked.

As the sixth man, Jamison is naturally on the court.

Cheats like Nash and Finley were placed on the bench.

At the point guard position, Tony Delk has just joined, and he is a scoring point guard. If he is sent out, he cannot figure out the Mavericks' offense.

There is no choice but to let rookie Qin Yang come on stage and give it a try.

Although Josh Howard is a rookie, he is the same age as Nowitzki, so it makes sense to take Finley's position. Nelson continued to send out an attacking lineup, Nowitzki, Walker, Jamison, Josh Howard and Qin Yang.

For the Lakers, Kobe is absent, so Fisher can only lead the team.

After all, with a 14-point lead, Jackson Jackson was very aggressive and sent out rookie Luke Walton, marginal player Brian Russell, and marginal player 38-year-old Horace Grant, who was undrafted in 02, can be called Steve Kohn. A low profile version of Genero Pago.

In the commentary room, Barkley shook his head after watching it. "The Lakers' rotation is so fucking cold without Kobe's iron man.

The bench depth is too weak. As a result, the Lakers' only flaw is injuries.

It's in the western part of the fierce battle zone again. O'Neal's thigh is thick enough, but Malone and Payton are really hard to win this championship. "

"There's nothing good to say about the Mavericks' rotation. The reduced-dimensional attack lineup can just chase points. When the Lakers' main force returns, there won't be this opportunity.

Now give me a chance to see if the Mavericks are successful..."

Being underestimated!

When Tan Yang saw the Lakers' rotation, he had no intention of chasing points and just felt slighted.

Good guy, the only one who can really play in the Lakers' rotation is Fisher.

The question is, can Fisher play well?

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers had the right to attack. Fisher took the ball to the frontcourt and saw Tan Yang leading the defense. Without thinking, he immediately dribbled the ball through and acted like a reckless man.

"Fischer went in, he was going to use his body to bully and welcome Tan Yang!

Tan Yang fought and retreated, but the defense was about to be lost. He reached the free throw line. Seeing Josh Howard and Jamison rush to help defend, Fisher pulled out and shot a two-point jumper.

What the hell?

Tan Yang suddenly flew out, as if he had predicted it, and blocked Fisher's emergency jumper with a palm..."

Snapped--!
Fisher was stunned by the slap. When he came to his senses, Tan Yang had already picked up the basketball that had successfully blocked the shot and immediately took the ball to push back.

Quickly reaching the frontcourt, Tan Yang ignored Fisher and Genero Pargo who rushed back. Instead, he paid attention to the slip and then used a mediocre split dunk to slam the basketball into the basket.

17 to 29! !
Wen Jiu scored the first blood, but Tan Yang did not roar and beat his chest, but instead wore an expression of indifference.

Now is not the time to celebrate. He doesn't want his first NBA game to start with success.

Failure is the mother of success?
Pooh!
If one team has to win, why can't it be Tan Yang's Mavericks?
"Oh, Fisher looks down on this rookie Qin Yang!
Unexpectedly, not only failed to achieve the welcome ceremony, but also allowed Tan Yang to take the lead in scoring the first point of his NBA career.

Fisher probably didn’t think of that, right?

Next, let’s see how Fisher comes back…”

On the court, Fisher dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Just when Tan Yang thought that Fisher would be the tool man, Fisher pulled out and shot a three-point pull-up jumper...

Tan Yang didn't expect that Fisher would be so ungrateful, and he was careless and didn't step out to block the shot. He could only rely on instinct, stretched out his hand, and then bet that Fisher's three-point pistol had no bullets.

Bang-dang——!
You guessed it, Fisher's three-point pistol was empty of bullets.

“Forced a three-pointer and missed!
Fisher was too messy, but unfortunately, this ball was not a key ball.

Fisher's offense at non-critical times is really unreliable, but he has no choice..."

The question is that Fisher is in a contract year this season.

In order to make his statistics look better, why not throw them around while Kobe is absent?

However, the basket didn't like him.

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

When the basketball missed, Tan Yang had already started running and rushed to the front court.

Horace Grant is 38 years old and can't jump at all. Moreover, his height of 2 meters has no advantage in front of Nowitzki.

"The rebound was easily picked off by Nowitzki, and with one dribble, Nowitzki immediately threw the basketball forward.

This pass passed through the half and found its way into the hands of Tan Yang, who ran forward in advance.

My goodness!

What the hell was Tan Yang doing? He caught the basketball, didn't rush to the basket, and shot a solid two-point layup?
Instead, I chose to gamble on three-pointers and take open three-pointers. Will there be..."

Bang-dang——!
I just came on the field and my hands were a little cold, which makes sense.

Tan Yang tried to grab three points, but he died if he tried.

“Missed three points!
Tan Yang wasted a great opportunity to chase points!
Hey, the moment Tan Yang shot the ball, he rushed to the penalty area, jumped up, and pulled up the basketball. This was to bully the height of Genero Pago who rushed back to the frontcourt.

Well done, Tan Yang regained the missed basketball..."

Genero Pargo's height is only 1 meters, which is still false. In front of Tan Yang, who is 85 meters tall, he also has no advantage in grabbing rebounds.

After getting the basketball, Tan Yang saw Fisher and Genero Pargo coming back and rushed towards him. He immediately looked to the left, but passed the ball to the right.

The next second, Josh Howard, who rushed into the penalty area like a cheetah, leaped high, made an alley-oop, and poured Tan Yang's pass into the basket.

Bang-dang——!
Josh Howard scored a goal and broke the scoring point.

No longer Brother Chu!

19 to 29! !
The point difference is only 10 points! !

“Oh haha, this way I won’t feel sleepy!!

Unexpectedly, the Mavericks' counterattack in the second quarter actually started with the scoring of two rookies.

Especially Tan Yang, he plays with so many ideas. Although we don't know what his true ability is, his offensive imagination is very lethal.

If Qin Yangqian had scored the three-point goal just now, the Mavericks would have been only single digits behind..."

Outside the court, Old Nelson clenched his fists and looked at Little Nelson next to him.

“We made the right bet on the draft!

Wake Forest's handsome and ugly combination really has something. "
