Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 83: He pulled it out and struck unreasonably. This is the style of bearded Davis!
November 11th, Double Eleven.

On the Mavericks' off day, Tan Yang lay down for half a day, and then trained hard for half a day to continue to improve his abilities.

At the beginning of the new season, Nelson is still willing to give players the opportunity to try out the game. If he misses this village, he will not have this store.

Strive, work hard~
Tan Yang naturally had to master the posture of salted fish turning over.

November 11th is the game day, and simple training is still conducted in the morning. It is not a special training for the Hornets, but to continue to polish the starting lineup that defeated the Spurs in the last game.

Nowitzki, Walker, Finley, Tan Yang and Nash.

In this new starting lineup, Nowitzki and Finley are a fixed partner on the left side, let alone offense. They can follow the path of Duncan and Bowen on defense. The defensive effect and combat power are naturally incomparable, but the Mavericks have The offensive firepower does not need to be as defensive as the Spurs.

As long as the left inside line does not become a serious loophole, it is enough.

Finley can occasionally wipe the ass of Nash's defense, and the perimeter defense will not become an air-level defense.

Last season, the Mavericks' right-side offensive and defensive area was occupied by Laga Bell and LaFrentz.

Laga Bell is 3D, his offense can improve his three-point shooting, and his defense can wipe Nash's right butt.

LaFrentz can take advantage of mid-range shots offensively, and defensively he can use his height to protect the basket. His offensive ability on the right side is quite weak, but his defensive ability is relatively good.

Relying on this relatively balanced offensive and defensive lineup, the Mavericks performed strongly in the playoffs and reached the Western Conference Finals.

At this time, after the Mavericks lineup was upgraded, with Nowitzki, Jamison, Walker, Finley and Nash, this All-Star offensive lineup was unable to exert all the offensive efficiency. It copied the lineup of last season, which means it can be passed. It is also an operational experimental plan.

Walker is 2 meters tall, so his rim protection and defense are naturally inferior to LaFrentz's, but his advantage is that he has stronger attack power and a longer range.

Tan Yang has Laga Bell's three-point shooting range and excellent defense, but Laga Bell does not have the ability to organize and pass, which is the so-called organizational 3D.

The advantage is that it is organized, but the disadvantage is that Tan Yang's mobility is not as good as Lagabel's.

The internal and external interaction between Tan Yang and Walker is not as good as that of Laga Bell and LaFrentz. Fortunately, their offensive finishing ability and ability to organize and pass have been greatly improved.

With such a combination of players, the offensive imagination is perfectly unleashed.

If Tan Yang is not suitable, there is Josh Howard's plan B and Jamison's plan C. Nelson will have more room to operate.

Moreover, this lineup is quite effective in positional warfare.

In the positioning lineup, Nash's breakthrough ability is limited, Nowitzki's hard-solving ability is not durable, and Finley's hard-solving ability is insufficient...

With Qin Yang's organizational support and Walker's threat of three-point shooting, it will be even more difficult for opponents to completely block their offensive space.

For this reason, the main content of Nelson's training this time was the operational drill of triangle offensive tactics in positional warfare.

The run-and-gun battle is naturally the original multi-directional attack, with all the starting points of the attack making it difficult for the opponent to defend. This is what the Mavericks are best at. The main focus is the offensive cooperation of the Mavericks' three Musketeers, Nash, Dirk Nowitzki and Finley. Not a big problem.

Positional warfare and triangle offensive operations are the top priority of training.

Any team that plays against the Mavericks has no chance of competing against them.

Just like on the football field, it is the same reason that no team can compete with the Barcelona team led by Guardiola.

Barcelona continues to improve its passing and control, but its strength will not improve much. Breaking through densely defended positions is the key to the Mavericks going further.

It's like Barcelona sending away Eto'o in exchange for Ibrahimovic. If you can't do it on the ground, you can do it in the air.

Hit-and-run tactics are nothing but dragon-slaying skills. If someone doesn't produce a dragon for you to kill, it's useless no matter how strong your tactics are.

On the court, the Mavericks' starting lineup practiced a simple set of triangle offenses.

For example, Nash controls the ball to the frontcourt, and like Fisher, distributes the ball to Nowitzki or Tan Yang who are in the high post.

In this way, Nash doesn't have to break through.

Under the HC rules, Nash's position is a threat to break through. Without Iverson's hard-to-break breakthrough ability, it will be difficult to use the position.

Playing a triangle offensive tactic will weaken the function of the point guard, but it can liberate Nash's three-point ability. As for Nash's off-ball ability, the Mavericks originally did not only use Nash as the starting point for the offense, but other players as the starting point for the offense. At that time, Nash was playing without the ball, so there was no problem of adapting.

Nash can originally play without the ball or with the ball.

Then, there is the issue of the axis.

Nowitzki and Tan Yang can both solve the problem of passing the ball.

In this regard, it's not a big problem.

The rest is where the triangle offense ends?

That's not a problem, it's what the Mavericks do best.

The Mavericks seem to have no problem playing the triangle offensive tactic in positional battles or playing the Princeton system.

The rest is running-in, and then, practice...

The next Hornets are a very good opponent. The Mavericks' second lineup cannot put too much pressure on the starting lineup. If they want to attack and break the lineup, they can only throw them into actual combat. .

……

Night falls at the American Airlines Center.

At this time, a regular game against the Hornets was about to be held in the arena, with bright lights and a sea of ​​people.

During warm-ups, Nowitzki and Baron Davis chatted about pennies.

It soon became apparent that there was nothing to talk about but the team. In the first year of Davis' contract extension, there would be conflicts among the management. The team did not regard him as not for sale, and even sold him to save money. Trade out.

Nowitzki is the boss's wife and the management's darling.

Let’s talk about the lineup. In addition to the players they trained through their own draft, the Hornets only picked up or traded leftover role players left over from the previous generation’s big stars. How about talking about Der with the Mavericks’ five-star all-star lineup?
Therefore, there is no need to chat, just treat it as a business chat.

Others did not join in the fun. Jamison and Walker, one the boss of the Warriors and the other the former head of Green Kai, are now here to assist Nowitzki, and they don't have the nerve to talk.

At this time, the starting lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.

The Hornets' starting five are PJ Brown, Jamal Magloire, George Lynch, David Wesley, and Baron Davis.

The Mavericks' starting five are Nowitzki, Walker, Finley, Tan Yang and Nash.

This game will be broadcast live on TNT radio, with Mike Breen and Marv Albert as the commentary team.

“The dark horse team in the West is the Rockets, and the dark horse team in the East is the Hornets.

You don’t know how he got up, and you don’t know whether they are really strong or not?

Strong, you say?

Of the first 7 games, 6 were against teams from the Eastern Conference. You know, the West is strong and the East is weak. The Eastern Conference is full of rookies. As a result, in the 6 games, the Hornets only won 4 games and lost. 2 of the games.

Are you saying they are not strong?
The only game against the Western Conference team was the Lakers, but they won the game, and it was a big victory. In addition, Kobe also came back.

The Mavericks' only loss this season was to the Lakers, and that was without Kobe Bryant.

So don't be surprised if the Hornets can upset the Mavericks tonight.

The Hornets are here, the Lakers are here, and they can't stop them! ! "

Mike Breen next to him nodded and continued.

“It’s an interesting situation indeed!!
The Hornets beat the only team the Mavericks couldn't beat, which made the game exciting. The Mavericks continue to put on the starting lineup that defeated the Spurs in the last game, which means rookie Qin Yang continues to be in the starting lineup, which is also very interesting.

Is the Mavericks' starting lineup really capable?

Or was it just a matter of luck that the Spurs won the last game?

If I had to guess the winning rate for this game, I hope it would be 60-40.

Mavericks six, Hornets four.

The Mavericks' luxurious lineup is still very trustworthy.

The Hornets' starting five stars are all good, but there is no one on the bench who can play.

The reason why they lost to the Bulls in the last game was because the Lakers fought too hard and consumed too much in the previous game. As a result, they lost back to back to the weak Bulls.

Otherwise, the Hornets would not have lost 2 games.

Next, leave the suspense of the game to the live game..."

The game started.

In the center circle of the court, Jamal Magloire showed excellent jumping and beat Nowitzki to get the ball for the Hornets' first attack.

……

Baron Davis controlled the ball to the frontcourt, led by Nash.

David Wesley, who lost 183 days, is left to Tan Yang to solve. After all, no matter how good his defense is, Tan Yang is just a rookie and does not have the cards to directly compete with the league's top point guard like Davis.

After all, Nash is a veteran player who has played in the league for 8 years and should know how to deal with Davis.

“Davis drove the ball and went in.

Nash's defense was tight, and Nash actively slid to defend. Oh no, Nash passed by like he was passing through the early morning street.

Davis easily reached the penalty area, but the time was too fast. The two wings of the Mavericks did not respond, and the two insiders were held up.

He drove straight into the penalty area, leaped high into the penalty area, and hit a dunk that was as powerful as Huashan..."

Bang-dang——!
2 to 0! !
In the first round of Nash's duel with the bearded Davis, he was cut down to the ground with one swing like a sword. Davis easily took the lead for the Hornets.

After scoring the goal, Davis looked at Nash, who had just defended very hard, with a "that's it" expression. It was a complete second.

How can you fight without defense?

Outside the court, Old Nelson had an ugly face. He arranged two guardians on the right and left for Nash, but before the guardians could save him, Nash was killed. What more could he do?
“It’s a one-hit kill!!
Davis targeted the Mavericks' biggest weakness, a lightning strike that was powerless to parry.

Sure enough, the Mavericks had no expectations defensively.

Next, let's take a look at the Mavericks' offense. The Hornets can become a dark horse team, not because of how brave their offensive firepower is, but because of their excellent defense.

Nash took possession of the ball and was immediately pressed by Davis. It was impossible to push and attack..."

In the position battle, Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Qin Yang who was outside the 75-degree three-point line on the right side for the first time. Then, he cut outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side and knocked David Si's defense was brought in front of Tan Yang.

At this time, Walker, who was on the right side of the basket, did not immediately evacuate. Instead, he squeezed his position in the penalty area and formed a formation with Tan Yang, who was holding the ball on the right wing, and Nash, who was outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side. After attacking the triangle, he moved to the right corner.

Seeing this, Tan Yang just received the pass from Nash and immediately passed it back to Nash who cut outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side as if he were kicking against the wall.

"Catch the ball, lift it up, Nash pulls it out, raises his hand and shoots a three-point jumper..."

David Wesley hesitated when changing defense, and he didn't expect that Nash was so ungrateful and just shot after getting the ball. He had no time to react.

The moment Nash took the shot, Tan Yang immediately cut to the basket.

The triangle offensive tactic, in addition to forming an offensive triangle when shooting out, is also a rebounding triangle after shooting out.

At this time, the basketball was passing through the air. Tan Yang cut into the basket, Walker recovered the basket, and Nowitzki on the left formed a rebounding triangle.

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

Nash's precise three-pointer gave Tan Yang and the others a lonely chance.

2 to 3! !
On the commentary table, Mike Breen sighed repeatedly when he saw this scene.

"The Mavericks' positional battle also shows that the triangle offensive strategy is coming.

Sure enough, Nelson is still the same scientist.

In addition to launching the shark-cutting tactic business, the Lakers' triangle offensive tactic has also been launched.

If you train them with the Mavericks, the battlefield in the Wild West will be even wilder..."

When it comes to the efficient use of multiple stars, we have to look at Jackson Jackson's triangle offensive tactics.

A swarm of swarms running around in a run-and-gun game cannot solve the problem of offensive efficiency at all. Anyone with a sound mind knows how to borrow something from other teams.

Defensively, I borrowed some homework from the Spurs and borrowed something from the Lakers for positional warfare. It's a scientific experiment. This makes sense.

On the court, the Hornets attack.

Davis controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Nash was still leading the defense. Just when Davis was dribbling the ball and trying to use his physical talent to beat Nash, Finley on the left, Tan Yang on the right, and Walker under the basket , immediately rushed towards Davis holding the ball.

"Oh, this is the rhythm to guard against Davis and other people's attacks!

See how Davis plays?
Oops, he broke through with the ball and went in. Davis stepped down and dribbled back, then retreated to the three-point line.

He pulled it out, raised his hand and made an unreasonable three-point pull-up jump shot..."

That's the style of Bearded Davis!

The offensive choice is very brainless, but it also makes the defensive players unable to defend such a superstar ball and can only listen to the gunshot.

Nash's active defense, the help from the left and right flanks, and the prepared sweeps inside, all prevented him from being lonely at this moment, and he could only listen to the sound of gunshots.

Bang-dang——!
Davis blindly shot indiscriminately, and the opportunity was created randomly, and it was also a test of his three-point shooting percentage.

Baron Davis, who averages 32% from the field, obviously cannot withstand such a test.

With this shooting percentage, Davis can average 8 shots per game, which is a damn talent.

The rebound was picked off by Nowitzki, who immediately took a step with the ball, and then distributed the ball to Nash to advance with the ball.

"The Mavericks' counterattack, Nash is very fast, but Davis was shooting from outside the three-point line. He is the Hornets' last defensive player. See how he defends?

Oh, Davis did not retreat to the penalty area honestly, but took the initiative to attack Nash.

Pretty!

As if Nash had predicted it, he passed the ball to Tan Yang on the left and continued to advance with the ball. Then, he passed the ball to Tan Yang on the left to follow up with Finley. After receiving the ball, he jumped high and used a civilian-style layup. Send that damn basketball into the basket..."

Swish-!
Finley easily ate the cake made by Tan Yang under the basket and helped the Mavericks counterattack and score two points.

2 to 5! !
The Mavericks took the lead at the start of the game thanks to two very nice assists from Tan Yang.
