Legendary star

Chapter 695 Change
Compared with the previous game, in today's game, the Pacers' defensive strength has directly improved by more than one level, or in other words, without the referee's interference and bias, the Pacers have regained their original defensive strength , The defensive line that leaked everywhere in the last game is like an impregnable wall in this game.

Especially Jason Terry, who performed very well in the last game, was clearly arranged by Tony Allen in today's game. Judging from the performance in the last game, Jason- Terry's strength is still very good, he has a certain organizational ability, and his scoring ability is also very good, but as a point guard, Jason Terry likes to "not do his job properly". The two-year career of the Eagles has developed Jason Terry's strong desire for singles, but it is embarrassing that, except for Jason Terry, a guard who likes to do nothing, the Mavericks have no more players on the court. A player who can both organize and pass the ball, so after Jason Terry was restricted by Tony Allen, even the offense with the Mavericks couldn't be smooth.

After the start of the second quarter, Avery Johnson unexpectedly continued to use Jason Terry, who performed poorly in the first quarter, and let him lead the Mavericks' bench. Although the Pacers' rotation The lineup can't continue to press the Mavericks like the main lineup, but the Mavericks' bench lineup still can't narrow the gap between the two sides, because apart from Jason Terry, the Mavericks' few substitutes What can score, of course, can also be said to be Jason Terry's strong singles desire, and the excessive number of singles made the other Mavericks players on the field not get any offensive opportunities.

So looking at Jason Terry's non-stop singles with the ball, Avery Johnson was also a little helpless when he could only run back and forth on the court. When Dirk Nowitzki was on the court At that time, Jason Terry could still consider Nowitzki's feelings, and did not dare to play too many individual singles, but none of the Mavericks players on the court can suppress Jason Terry. After all, before coming to the Mavericks, Jason Terry was also the head player of the Eagles, so in this Mavericks team, only Dirk Nowitzki can make him bow his head a little, especially In the attack just now, Eric Dampier, who had already had a chance, reached out to Jason Terry for the ball, but was directly ignored by Jason Terry.

Although Jason Terry's shooting rate looks good, but because the Mavericks' overall offense is basically at a standstill, facing the Pacers' bench lineup, the Mavericks' rotation lineup has not been able to play well on the offensive end. To open up the situation, fortunately, the efficiency of the Pacers' rotation is not very high, otherwise the point difference between the two sides is likely to continue to widen.

"Avery is really anxious now, hahahaha." Looking at Avery Johnson who was taking advantage of the timeout and yelling at Jason Terry who came down from the field, Michaels and Magic Johnson in the commentary They all leaned back and laughed.

For today's game, Avery Johnson has done a lot of preparations all night long, but until now, Avery Johnson has not even seen a single attack that satisfies him, leaving Jason Terry And Josh Howard and others bit the score in the previous game, allowing Dirk Nowitzki to save his energy and take over the game in the fourth quarter. This is Avery Johnson's plan and arrangement before the game, but look Seeing the Mavericks' chaotic offense on the field and singles without any routines, Avery Johnson knew that his strategy could no longer go on. If he continued to "play" like this, he probably wouldn't be able to wait for Dirk Nor Wizki took over the game in the fourth quarter, and the Mavericks were beaten by the Pacers.

"Move, move, move, OK?"

"Pass the ball, pass the ball, do you understand? Don't hold the basketball tightly in your own hands. No one can solve the opponent by himself, understand?"

After spraying Jason Terry, Avery Johnson may still feel a little unsatisfactory. After calling the main lineup to prepare for the game, Avery Johnson pulled Jason Terry to his side again, stern lessons Jason Terry.

"Understood." Although Jason Terry was very unconvinced in his heart, seeing the stern look of the head coach and Dirk Nowitzki who had been staring at him, Jason Terry finally chose to give in. , as a core that was actively traded by the team, Jason Terry is very eager to prove himself in the finals, and he is also looking forward to using the championship and outstanding performance to prove to the Eagles' management that your choice to trade me is completely Just a mistake.

After Avery Johnson on the sidelines finished blowing the whistle, the Mavericks' starting lineup appeared again, and all the Mavericks fans at the American Airlines Center were looking forward to their team's improvement after the timeout , and strive to reverse the situation on the field at the end of the halftime game.

"Finally can't stand it anymore?"

Looking at the running position of the Mavericks after re-entering the court, Meng Xu had a premonition that Dirk Nowitzki would not continue to play dead.

Although in this attack, Dirk Nowitzki's first step is still to screen for Jason Terry, but the position of their pick and roll is slightly different from before. It’s different outside the point line. Dirk Nowitzki’s pick-and-roll position is obviously lower than Jason Terry’s. Nowitzki’s shooting percentage in this position exceeds 50%, especially after the pick-and-roll misplaced shots, the hit rate is higher.

Even if the Mavericks' next offensive choice has been predicted, Meng Xu is a little powerless at the moment, because Meng Xu has already followed Josh Howard to the weak side of the court, even if Meng Xu gives up on Josh Howard now. Defense, there is no guarantee that the defense will be in place before Dirk Nowitzki makes a shot, not to mention that if Meng Xu gives up on Josh Howard's defense now, then Jason Terry is fighting Dirk Nowitzki After the base pick-and-roll is over, it is likely to pass the basketball to Josh Howard.

So Meng Xu can only watch Jason Terry and Dirk Nowitzki complete the pick and roll in front of James Posey and Tony Allen, and then Jason Terry passes the basketball to the face Tony Allen misses Dirk Nowitzki.
