Legendary star

Chapter 528
"James, after the timeout, you switch defenses with Jermaine, and you go to defend the No. 41 on the opposite side."

"Jermaine, sit on the basket, don't pull it out easily, pay attention to protect the backboard, and keep an eye on that No. 13, don't let him rush to the basket."

During the gap between the appearance of the substitute players, Rick Carlisle took the tactical board and arranged for them one by one in front of several main players the next arrangement, especially how to limit the pick-and-roll cooperation between Nash and Nowitzki It is the top priority of Rick Carlisle's arrangement this time. Jermaine O'Neal's defensive range is very large and his movement speed is also very good, but it is obviously difficult to switch to a small guard like Nash after the pick-and-roll .Therefore, Rick Carlisle adjusted the candidates for defending Nowitzki. Although James Posey was obviously not very good at defending those physically fit and powerful inside players, he was not good at defending shooting players. Whether it is inside or outside, it is James Posey's housekeeping skills. Let him defend Nowitzki, the effect is not worse than Jermaine O'Neal.And when facing players whose physical fitness is not as good as his own, James Posey is basically an insurmountable mountain.Therefore, James Posey and Meng Xu are definitely better than Meng Xu and Jermaine O'Neal when defending the Mavericks' pick-and-roll tactics.

Due to several consecutive signings at no cost in the free market last summer, not only did the Mavericks continue to sit on the top spot in the Western Conference this season, but also made the Mavericks' bench lineup the most powerful bench lineup in the league. Warriors boss Antawn Jamison, who averaged 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists per game this season, was hired by the Mavericks to play the sixth man. This level of luxury is unique in the entire league.

The Mavericks' bench, led by Antawn Jamison, and the Pacers bench, led by Reggie Miller, played inextricably in the first half of the second quarter, with Antawn Jamison coming off the bench. Mison is both a father and a mother on the court. He not only has to score with Reggie Miller on the offensive end, but also organizes the team's offense. He even does his best to protect the rebounds in the backcourt.Although Jamison didn't say anything after being traded to the Mavericks, Jamison felt very uncomfortable in his heart. After five years in the league, he finally met a good helper named Arenas, -Under the leadership of Budenholzer, he tasted the taste of the playoffs for the first time. Although he was eliminated in the first round, like most players, Antawn Jamison, Arenas and Mike Brown Den Holzer, is full of ambitions and wants to make a comeback in the new season and go further.But in the offseason, the Warriors belonging to Jamison collapsed. Because of the salary cap, Arenas, whose contract expired, was robbed by the Wizards. After losing Arenas, the Warriors' management simply He chose to play poorly and sent Antawn Jamison, who had just signed a big contract, to the Mavericks. Although joining a strong team like the Mavericks would bring Jamison one step closer to the championship, but he has just started his career The peak Antawn Jamison, like most star players, wants to own a team of his own. Perhaps it is this mentality that keeps Jamison out of the circle of the Mavericks. , In Jamison's heart, he misses his own Warriors all the time, misses his teammates on that team, head coach Mike Budenholzer, and his closest partner, Gilbert Ali nas.

Soon, the official timeout for the second quarter came. 38-38, the two sides tied. After the timeout ended, the main lineups of both sides played. Maybe it was because the main lineup played very well in the first quarter. When Nelson was suspended, he did not adjust the main lineup. After resuming the game, Nash and Nowitzki were still very determined to play pick-and-roll tactics. The cooperation is still very satisfactory.

"I have 8 assists!" After assisting Michael Finley to make a mid-range shot through the pick-and-roll, Nash actually provoked Meng Xu when he passed by Meng Xu.In the assist list this season, Meng Xu ranked first with an average of nearly 13 assists per game, while Nash averaged only 8 assists per game. Therefore, after talking about the number of assists compared with Meng Xu, Nash was still There was a bit of a guilty conscience, but the unyielding energy in his heart still supported Nash to continue the bet. However, in the later game, Nash suddenly found that he seemed to have entered the dream, but In a state that has been untouchable for a long time, many passes that could not be completed before can now be completed with ease, and Nash also found that his vision on the field seems to be wider, so Nash's confidence and fighting spirit It is also getting stronger and stronger, and in addition to leading Meng Xu by 8 to 6 in the number of assists, so when retreating, Nash couldn't bear to provoke Meng Xu.

"I hope you can still laugh so happily after the game." After hearing Nash's provocation, Meng Xu was obviously taken aback. On the contrary, he was a little excited. The stronger the opponent, the more motivated he would be, and the more arrogant the opponent, the more sense of accomplishment he would have after defeating them.

The offensive and defensive transition, Meng Xu, who dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, first made a pick-and-roll cooperation with Jermaine O'Neal, and then handed the ball to Jermaine O'Neal who turned and slid down, and he himself was Jermaine O'Neal. - O'Neal blocked Dirk Nowitzki who was defending. Obviously, during the timeout, the old Nelson made sufficient countermeasures for the Pacers' pick-and-roll tactics. Just after receiving the ball, Jermaine O'Neal was ready to stop During the jump shot, Antoine Walker, who was supposed to defend James Posey, appeared in front of Jermaine O'Neal in a very timely manner, and Jermaine O'Neal did not choose to force a shot in front of Walker, but put The ball was returned to Meng Xu.

After Jermaine O'Neal led Walker to the basket, Nash, who was delayed by Jermaine O'Neal just now, caught up with Meng Xu again, and formed a double-team for Meng Xu with Nowitzki. After leaning on Nowitzki with his back, he chose to forcefully turn around in front of Nowitzki. However, after turning around, Meng Xu did not continue to break through or shoot in front of Nowitzki, but from the crowd. In the gap, the basketball was passed to James Posey who was already on standby in the corner.

The open three-pointer itself is James Posey's strength, and the distance between the defensive players and James Posey is very far. Therefore, after receiving the pass from Meng Xu, James Posey made an easy shot after calmly adjusting hit.

Although Rick Carlisle and Nelson both strengthened their defense against the opponent's pick-and-roll during the timeout just now, under the continuous scheduling of Meng Xu and Nash, the offense of the two sides on the field still appeared to be very smooth. Due to the increase in defensive strength, players on both sides moved more without the ball, and the number of passes the ball also rose sharply, making the game more enjoyable.

In this situation, the number of assists of Meng Xu and Nash also rose sharply. At the end of the first half, the number of assists of both sides exceeded 10 times. Nash had 6 points and 13 assists, and Meng Xu had 7 points and 12 assists. assists.And Meng Xu and Nash seemed to be competing on the court. The wonderful assists and all kinds of coquettish passes made the audience, even the audience in front of the TV, mesmerized. Today's game also made many viewers who were not fans of Nash and Meng Xu before conquered by them and became their loyal fans.

"This is the first time I've seen Meng Xu focus so much on organizing the team." In the second half of the second quarter, even after the start of the second half, Meng Xu almost gave up all personal offensive opportunities and put all his energy into It was all focused on the defensive end and organizing the team. In the period of nearly 10 minutes, there was not a single shot. Such a special Meng Xu surprised Michaels, although the number of shots taken by Meng Xu this season has declined. A lot, but also maintained at an average of about 18 shots per game, especially before this game, in the two games against the Nets and the Celtics, Meng Xu took 31 shots in one game and 29 shots in one game. Today's game has reached the third quarter, but Meng Xu's shots are only 5 times. This situation is obviously very abnormal for Meng Xu.

"On the contrary, I think that Meng Xu's ability to control the rhythm of the field in today's game is better than before. Of course, the number 13 of the Mavericks also performed very well today." Magic Johnson, who was born as a point guard, naturally I can see some different things in Meng Xu and Nash, fancy passes, exquisite assists, Magic Johnson does not pay attention to these superficial things, in the eyes of Magic Johnson, for a point guard For them, the most important thing is the ability to control the rhythm of the game. In today's game, Meng Xu and Nash's control of the rhythm of the court has reached an unparalleled level. Even Jason Kidd of the Nets, who was The guy who is crowned the league's number one point guard may not have the ability to control the rhythm of the game like Meng Xu and Nash in this game.

"Well, it does look like this." After hearing Magic Johnson's words, Michaels nodded in agreement after pondering for a few seconds.
