Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 94 All plots and tricks are just paper tigers in the face of the Mavericks’ overwhelming strength!

After 15 minutes of recuperation, the game came back in the second half. The two teams started with the top five players, then played music, and then played again.

At this time, the score was 54 to 48, and the Grizzlies were 6 points behind. It seemed that the Grizzlies' rotation tactics of up and down had failed.

In fact, the truth is that the Grizzlies succeeded, but the success was not obvious.

After all, facing the elite Mavericks with a rich team, the Grizzlies only trailed by 6 points in the first half and gave the starting five about 9 minutes of rest time. No matter how you look at it, the Grizzlies earned it.

For example, if I change my mind with you, it will definitely benefit you!
The third quarter started with the Grizzlies having the offensive ball.

Under the left basket, Gasol singled out Nowitzki with the ball.

"Oh, Finley shrank back to defend and flanked Gasol with Nowitzki.

This is the defensive rhythm of the Mavericks, which is to catch the big and let go of the small.

Even if the Grizzlies split the ball and hit outside shots, it's just a shooting battle.

The advantage and rhythm are still controlled by the Mavericks, who are very proactive in terms of layout.

What the hell?

Gasol was not used to them, so he chose to back up, speed up the offensive rhythm, turn around and hook, and the work was done before Finley was in place..."

With Nowitzki's defensive ability, he can only get beaten. This is the Mavericks' flaw.

It's a pity that God did not side with Gasol.

Bang-dang——!
Gasol's hook shot failed to hit accurately.

“Iron is struck!!
Gasol attacked too quickly.

Well, Gasol quickly jumped to the basket, took off the basketball in the frontcourt, shot and grabbed it, and regained the basketball he missed.

Landing, quick second touch, this time the shot has...

Oh no, the basketball jumped out halfway through.

This is because my home basket is not strong enough..."

Gasol continued to attack the basket, but still failed to put the damn basketball into the basket.

On the commentary table, Mike Breen shook his head when he saw this scene.

“Gasol played too soft.

They are already attacks close to the basket, but instead of dunking and finishing in a tough way, they rely on shooting skills.

Although the closer you are to the basket, the higher your shooting percentage, but this avoidance attack method is not stable enough at all.

Gasol is still not good at low-post offense. Of course, the Mavericks' defensive choices are also very courageous..."

Gasol has the inside line to support the pass. To flank him is to let open shots from the outside. This is not treating the Grizzlies' shots as if they are alive.

The rebound was picked off by Walker, who immediately launched a counterattack, and Nash advanced quickly.

"Jason Williams pressed Nash, trying to slow down the offensive rhythm.

Beautiful, Nash casually passed the basketball to Tan Yang. Facing Mike Miller's pursuit, Tan Yang controlled the rhythm.

My goodness!

He was actually waiting for Nowitzki. He distributed the ball to the middle and gave it to Nowitzki who rushed back from the backcourt to the frontcourt. He took the ball and dribbled it to the penalty area. He pulled the ball up and made a European step layup. One pick..."

Swish-!
Nowitzki played a combination of offense and defense in this round.

Gasol attacked too deep and couldn't come back to defend. Jake Tsakalidis is a 2-meter big man. The Mavericks rushed to counterattack. He also couldn't come back. Even if he came back, he couldn't quickly gain a foothold. Defensive formation, this is the essence of the run-and-gun tactic. When Nowitzki rushes forward, he can give full play to his physical talents.

56 to 48! !
The score difference became 8 points.

Hubie Brown has a headache. His ten-man rotation layout and rotating role player lineup have made it through. However, the starting five that he had high hopes for failed to play the offensive he wanted. What else should he do?
"This is the crushing of strength!!

All conspiracies and tricks are just paper tigers in the face of absolute strength.

In the starting lineup matchup, the Grizzlies lost too much..."

On the court, the Grizzlies attacked, and Jason Williams continued to lob the ball to Gasol.

"Continuing to beat Nowitzki with his back, Finley quickly pounced on him without any hesitation.

Gasol dodges Finley's steal, and oh my god, Nowitzki dives in and steals the basketball.

Gasol's mistake, his physical confrontation was too weak, and he hesitated when faced with a two-on-one defense..."

“The Mavericks’ counterattack, Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and was interrupted by Jason Williams.

The basketball was handed over to Tan Yang again and he took the ball to the front court. Tan Yang paused again and looked towards the center. Nowitzki had already passed the half court and was about to rush back. Does he want to copy the offensive work of the previous round? ?

wrong!

Tan Yang paused for a moment, then suddenly accelerated towards the goal. He acted recklessly and was unable to compete with Mike Miller who was distracted and defending the center.

After getting to the basket, Tan Yang leaned on Mike Miller's block and took three steps to hit the board with his left hand..."

Mike Miller was very active, but he was stunned by a look from Tan Yang. Then, he fell behind step by step. He didn't dare to commit a foul, so he could only try his best to block shots, and then watched Tan Yang lay up.

Swish-!
58 to 48! !
“Great job!!

The point difference between the two sides widened to 10 points.

In these two rounds, Qin Yang played so smartly that he turned Mike Miller's defense around.

Coachable Mike Miller can take care of Tan Yang's passing, but not his breakthrough attack. "

After scoring the goal, Tan Yang looked at Mike Miller with a "that's it" look, and didn't forget to chat with him.

“Honestly, I’m really a shooting guard.

Scoring is my main job, organizing passes is just a side job.

Next time, don’t just focus on my passing! "

Mike Miller was angry, but as a shooter who played without the ball, he didn't come back blindly.

Asking is to be ignored by the defense, so that he can get the chance to go back.

Not to mention, the opportunity will come soon.

"Jason Williams did not continue to look for the basket to attack in the low post. He chose to break through Nash head-on. Just as he was about to break through, Tan Yang came to help defend.

A beautiful back pass, outside the 65-degree three-point line on the right side, Mike Miller was free, raised the ball, clicked Tan Yang's turn and returned to defense, and immediately rushed to the basket with the ball..."

Beep——!
The whistle sounded and the referee punished Walker's thug for a foul.

Mike Miller got a chance to get to the free throw line and shoot the free throw.

Off the court, Nelson shook his head and smiled bitterly. The Grizzlies' twin interior towers had an obvious advantage at the basket. It was already difficult for Walker to guard the 2-meter Jake Tsakalidis. Now Mike Miller broke through to the basket. , can only be stopped by fouling.

It has to be said that Mike Miller played the ball very steadily, and he also knew that at this time, the Grizzlies, who were 10 points behind, needed to score in a timely manner.

With two swish sounds, Mike Miller showed no mercy and steadily made the free throw.

58 to 50! !
The point difference is still 8 points.

Defensively, Nash is a cheat.

There is no way the Mavericks can successfully defend.

Fortunately, if you don’t know how to defend, there is no need to panic.

Looking back, Nash chose to break through with the ball, tit for tat, a change in rhythm, and instantly broke through Jason Williams' defense.

“Jason Williams’ defense is no better than Nash’s defense.

Nash turned on the mutual explosion mode. He rushed in, he reached the end, and he distributed the ball. The basketball passed through the back of Jack Tsakalidis and accurately fell into the hands of Walker under the right basket. There was only one thing left in front of him. Getting to the basket..."

Bang-dang——!
Walker's whole body was hung on the southeast branch because of eating the cake.

With Nash's clever pie-making and Walker's non-spitting, the Mavericks continued to have offensive firepower.

60 to 50! !
come on!

Hurt each other! !

The point difference returned to 10 points, and in the next game, the Grizzlies' offense exploded.

“It’s Jason Williams again, another long three-pointer.

The Mavericks had no choice but to accept this unreasonable move. "

……

"Nowitzki stole the ball and quickly passed the ball to Nash for a counterattack.

The Mavericks attacked too quickly, and the basketball was snatched back by Mike Miller, who immediately passed the ball to Jason Williams. Then, he passed the ball to Gasol, who was still inside the three-point line, and took the ball for a layup... ..."Shua——!
In the second half, Gasol's offense finally got off the ground.

……

Immediately afterwards, Jason Williams broke through Nash and assisted Posey to make a mid-range two-point jumper. With a swoosh, he hit the ball accurately.

Then, Jack Tsakalidis used his height of 2 meters to beat Walker, causing a foul and getting a chance to get to the free throw line.

Suddenly, the Grizzlies' offense was full of firepower, and everyone was involved in the offensive.

On the contrary, the Mavericks' offensive attack stalled.

At 6 minutes and 30 seconds in the third quarter, the Grizzlies relied on the explosive counterattack of the starting five to narrow the point difference between the two sides.

The score was 65 to 63. The tenacious Grizzlies clung to the Mavericks' tail and were only 2 points behind. The suspense of the game returned again.

“That’s what the Grizzlies want to see happen.

Dragging the Mavericks into an anxious draw battle, and then relying on the physical advantage accumulated through the '10-man rotation' to defeat the Mavericks who had no fuel in their physical tank.

This is the rhythm of the game where the Grizzlies can steal from the rich and give to the poor..."

Seeing this scene, Hubi Brown waved his hand, and in less than a minute, he completed the five up and five down operations.

The gears of fate returned to the situation of the first quarter.

At this time, the Grizzlies' lineup became Loren White, Bo Otello, Battier, Wesripatson and Earl Watson.

As long as the Grizzlies' rotated second lineup can survive the last five minutes of the third quarter like it did in the first quarter, and then play the first three minutes of the fourth quarter, they can fill their physical fuel tank again. The starting five returned to the field to harvest the final game.

"At that time, the main force of the Mavericks, whose physical energy has been exhausted again, will encounter the starting five of the Grizzlies who have rested for more than 8 minutes.

At that time, what was the talent advantage? What technical advantages? What strength advantage? In the case of insufficient physical fitness, everything becomes unbalanced.

Even the further we go to the back, the more advantage the Grizzlies have..."

The Rockets, Spurs and Lakers were all defeated by this routine.

and so……

"The stage has been set up, now let's watch your performance..."

"The Mavericks also made substitution adjustments and removed Walker and replaced him with Jamison.

Their lineup still has a clear card advantage. Let’s see if the game situation designed by the Grizzlies can safely go to the end..."

On the field, the game is back.

Battier received a pass from Watson, suddenly pulled up the ball, and shot a three-pointer...

Swish-!
With the knife in hand, Battier hit a very critical three-pointer.

"A very nice three-point goal.

This ball is very damaging.

With this three-pointer, the Grizzlies completed the lead over the Mavericks.

This goal boosted morale so much that the players on the Grizzlies team understood that they would be able to win the game if they laid it out this way.

Battier is too critical in this rotation. With his talent and ability, he can definitely compete for the starting position, but this player is willing to obey the coach's arrangements and play the role of the sixth man, and he has accomplished so well. Excellent.

Next, let's see how the Mavericks respond and break the game. The direction of the game is moving towards the track designed by the Grizzlies..."

65 to 66! !
The Mavericks fell behind again.

It was still a rotating lineup, and none of the famous role players delivered a hit.

While this ball hurts a lot, it is also extremely insulting.

The Grizzlies actually used a rotation lineup to resist the Mavericks' All-Star offensive lineup. If they lose the game in this way, the blow to the Mavericks will be unimaginable.

On the court, Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt. Facing the pressing, he immediately distributed the ball to Qin Yang who immediately reached the 75-degree three-point line on the right side. Then, he cut to the right side without the ball and made a 45-degree three-pointer. outside the line.

"Tin Yang passed the ball, and Nash caught the ball again. Facing Willis Parson's defense change, he raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper. Is this ball going to happen..."

The triangle offensive tactic is all about movement and space, plus a change.

With this kind of movement without the ball and supporting passes, he can tear through the opponent's defense in an instant. Willis Parson is not actively blocking shots, but he is still a beat slow and can only listen to the gunshot.

Swish-!
Knife dropped the ball and scored.

"nice shot!!

Assist from Qin Yang, Nash responded with a three-pointer.

The Mavericks counterattacked very strongly in this ball, and Nash also showed off his accurate three-point shooting skills.

The Mavericks have the talent advantage, but the technical advantage is still with the Mavericks. This is a dimensionality reduction blow, but the Mavericks used the most unreliable method to deal the most fatal blow to the Grizzlies.

The Mavericks regain the lead..."

68 to 66! !
In the transition from offense to defense, Earl Watson took the ball to the frontcourt and was immediately pressed by Nash.

Nash is known as being unable to defend, not for nothing. Facing a defender of Watson's level, he still can't defend him despite his efforts.

"Watson passed Nash and headed for the paint. Nowitzki came to help defend. He passed the ball and passed it to White on the right side of the basket. He immediately took the ball and rushed to the basket.

Snapped--!
Nowitzki was too strong and he completed the block. White's offensive choices were too poor. Instead of shooting, he went for a layup, giving Nowitzki room for defensive reaction.

The rebound was picked off by Jamison and he immediately passed the ball to Nash. The Mavericks counterattacked..."

At this time, Watson's breakthrough was too deep, and Nash was about to charge. Mike Miller could only let Tan Yang go short and pounce on Nash.

boom--!
An ordinary ground pass passed the ball to Tan Yang's hands.

Dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, outside the 75-degree three-point line on the left, Qin Yang stopped to break through, raised the ball, raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper...

"OMG!
It was so random. This was a three-on-one opportunity, and Tan Yang actually shot.

He can absolutely break through to the basket and score a solid two points..."

Swish-!
With his hand raised and the knife dropped, Tan Yang turned around and raised his hands in celebration.

Entered.

Qin Yang counterattacked with a three-point shot and hit it accurately.

71 to 66! !
The score difference instantly became 5 points.

And this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Mavericks' offense is fully open, and it is still a three-point attack.

In Hong Kong, Hubby Brown was very tough and didn't make any adjustments.

At this moment, it is an important period of time for him to win the game. He can only allow the rotation to continue. Only in this way can the Grizzlies have the capital to win with the Mavericks in the fourth quarter.

The Grizzlies players on the court were also very competitive.

Looking back, Booutero fouled Finley, went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

71 to 68! !
The point difference is only 3 points.

The Grizzlies can handle it.

However, with the lineup advantage of reducing dimensionality, the Mavericks are also very tough.

Nash passed the ball to Tan Yang on the right wing. Without the ball, he cut to the 45-degree three-point line on the right side. After lifting the ball and flying to the defense, he passed the ball to Tan Yang who cut inside.

“The Grizzlies’ defense was torn apart, and they hit two consecutive three-point shots, allowing them to focus their defensive energy on the outside.

The Mavericks, however, attacked east and west and broke through with the ball.

This is a good shot!

What the hell?

Tan Yang broke through to the end, but he didn't shoot. He passed the ball to Finley in the left three-point corner. He caught the ball, shot a jumper, and shot the three-point jumper..."

Swish-!
After Finley scored, he clenched his fists and roared.

Outside the court, Nelson also stood up from his seat and rushed to the court to applaud.

Seeing that the Mavericks were about to take away the game with a wave of three-pointers, Hubie Brown could only call a timeout to give their rotation a rest.

However, after the timeout came back, the Mavericks' three-point rain couldn't stop, it couldn't stop at all.

The game was spent in seconds! !

What are you using to top it up?
