Legendary star

Chapter 576 Winning streak
"Are Don and Rick experimenting with their own new tactics?" Magic Johnson noticed the strangeness on the court at the beginning of the game. The tactics of the Mavericks and Pacers today are very weird. For the Mavericks, Dirk Novi Cisky stayed firmly on the inside, and outside was a group of shooters who could shoot three-pointers. The inside-out-in transfer method was very similar to the combination of inside and outside tactics, but it was obviously different from the traditional combination of inside and outside. The Mavericks Tactics still retain the shadow of small ball tactics.As for the Pacers, on the offensive end, they still use constant rotation to single out Steve Nash. On the defensive end, the Pacers are completely different today. Jermaine O'Neal stays at the basket. The tactics of four swingmen, one player, one area, can switch defenses infinitely, so that Magic Johnson, a basketball star who claims to be an expert, can only cry out in surprise.

Since the league lifted the ban on illegal defense, zone defense tactics have become a very common defensive tactic. The Pacers have played zone defense for a long time in the regular season, but the defensive tactics used by the Pacers today are not the same as the current ones. The various defenses that appear are different.Dirk Nowitzki's ability to finish at the basket is not strong, so when Jermaine O'Neal is marking and there is a swingman double-teaming at any time, Dirk was pushed to the 5th position by the old Nelson - Nowitzki's playing is very unsatisfactory, and relying on the super mobility of the four swingmen, the Pacers rarely lose their position in defense against the Mavericks' perimeter.

"Rick—this guy is really strong today." Watching Nowitzki pass the basketball to Antoine Walker who was open after being double-teamed, and Antoine Walker missed the second shot, After the rebound was embraced by Tayshaun Prince, Lester Conor on the sidelines smiled like a flower at the moment.

The Pacers' defensive tactic originally was to have Jermaine O'Neal defend Sean Bradley and help the four swingmen outside. The player's defensive strategy has been adjusted. Jermaine O'Neal defends Dirk Nowitzki, and the other four players stick to their own defensive areas. At the same time, after Dirk Nowitzki holds the ball, they defend Antoine Wan Walker's guy put Antoine Walker down and double-teamed Dirk Nowitzki.Although Antoine Walker's nicknames "Iron God" and "Shooting Paranoid" are well-known throughout the league, Antoine Walker is also an All-Star who averaged 20+ per game after all, so after Rick Carlisle arranged tactics, Lester Connor was also a little nervous. You must know that Antoine Walker was not very strong in the last game. He scored 17 points on 8 of 23 shots, but when Lester Connor put his own After worrying about telling Rick Carlisle, Rick Carlisle smiled and said to him what Meng Xu often said: "Who doesn't eat dumplings during Chinese New Year." Judging from Antoine Walker's 5-of-1 shooting percentage, Come on, Antoine Walker really ate a big dumpling in the last game.

Under Comrade Antoine Walker's "undercover", the Pacers led the Mavericks by 11 points in the first quarter. The "new tactics" that the old Nelson had placed high hopes on were also messed up by his own people. I had to replace Antoine Walker and send him to the bench. After Antoine Walker went off the field, Nelson replaced Sean Bradley again and restored the Mavericks to the regular The regular lineup in the game.

To everyone's surprise, Dirk Nowitzki's performance did not improve when he returned to the fourth position. Instead, he was struggling under the defense of James Posey. Dirk Nowitzki, who can have a slight upper hand, was embarrassed by his much shorter James Posey.At the same time, after James Posey took the fourth position and Jermaine O'Neal replaced Mutombo, the Pacers' offensive strength has also been greatly strengthened. Maine O'Neal is much better than Mutombo. At the same time, after Jermaine O'Neal replaced Mutombo, the Mavericks couldn't double-team Meng Xu unscrupulously.

"Rick - our tactics succeeded!" As the game gradually progressed, the Pacers have completely mastered the situation on the court. There are more options at the end.

"Well, we will win this game." Looking at the situation on the field, Rick Carlisle is getting more and more relaxed and happy, although Rick Carlisle has already won two best head coach trophies , but due to the short time to stand alone, Rick Carlisle was always a little guilty when he played against the old Nelson, Pat Riley, Popovich and other famous coaches. In the game, when the Pistons led by Rick Carlisle played against Larry Bird's Pacers, Rick Carlisle was overwhelmed by Larry Bird's aura, and now, with the Rick Carlisle couldn't help but feel that they were nothing more than mediocre. Perhaps Rick Carlisle's psychological transformation is also a process of growth.

"I should really thank him." Unlike the last game, Rick Carlisle, who was always standing on the sidelines in today's game, stared at one person from the beginning to the end, and that was Meng Xu. Meng Xu's every move on the field, Rick Carlisle frowned from time to time, or nodded from time to time.

Rick Carlisle, who was fired by the Pistons last season, took charge of the Pacers at the invitation of Larry Bird. After taking over the Pacers, Rick Carlisle was also very worried and uneasy, worried that he would not be able to control the Pacers. Arrogant warriors, especially Meng Xu, who was newly promoted to No.1 in the league, although the Pistons under Rick Carlisle did not have such superstars before, Rick Carlisle has been in contact with many superstars. The harmless Larry Bird is actually not that easy to get along with, let’s talk about what happened last season, Jason Kidd forced Byron Scott, Allen Iverson forced Larry away- Brown, Kobe Bryant took away O'Neal and Phil Jackson, but after being in contact with Meng Xu for a while, Rick Carlisle was really lucky, compared with Iverson, Kobe, Jason Kidd , Meng Xu is really an outlier.

"We are one step closer to creating a dynasty!" When the game ended, Rick Carlisle smiled happily when he saw the final score of 87 to 101 on the scoreboard. After winning the game, the Pacers won With a 2-0 lead, the Pacers undoubtedly have a huge advantage in the 7-game 4-win series.

"Two consecutive 5*5 games? When did 5*5 become so easy?" Michaels, who got the final technical statistics, looked shocked at Meng Xu, who was celebrating with his teammates, 34 points, 8 times With assists, 14 rebounds, 6 steals, and 6 blocks, Meng Xu once again dominated the game on both offense and defense.

Thank you I want to wake up the world and Fengchen Memory*jing for their rewards,
