Chapter 322 No Dribble Mode (Part [-])
"The Bobcats are in a small lineup. Whether this lineup can exert its strength should be the key to determining the trend of the game." Zhang Reasonable said.

Everyone can see that the Bobcats' strongest offensive is this small lineup. Although Henderson is on the court instead of Jackson, the gap is not very big.If this small lineup does not work, the Bobcats' prospects for this round of the series are very worrying.

After the game restarted, the Bobcats' offense changed immediately. Even if it was a halfcourt offense, their pick-and-roll speed was much faster.

Facing the Bobcats whose speed changed suddenly, the Mavericks clearly showed discomfort.

The strong side frequently screened in pick-and-rolls. After the inside line was evacuated, Henderson went straight to the basket from the weak side. Chen Mo had been waiting for this opportunity.

Henderson broke Terry's confidence a bit, and he needed a strong comeback.

Chen Mo comfortably fed the ball to the basket, and Henderson faced Jason Terry under the basket. This was Henderson's chance for revenge.

"Little rookie, you go to practice again, you can't score goals." Terry continued to talk trash to Henderson.

If it was Henderson half a year ago, after Terry's trash talk, he would have hesitated in his heart and his hand movements would have been deformed, but now he doesn't.

The madness of Chen Mo in the predicament seems to have infected everyone in the Bobcats. This is the soul of a team.

The arrival of Sloan allowed the team to learn not to give up in adversity and continue to work hard in desperation. Chen Mo's natural competitiveness and madness allowed the team to explode with unimaginable strength in adversity.

"boom!"

Henderson faced Terry, got up and dunked.

Henderson's sprint speed is not fast, but he completely released the energy of his legs for this ball.Although his three-point shooting has been a problem, he was able to go from a marginal substitute to an important rotation for the Bobcats, relying on strong physical fitness and jumping.

He leaped into the sky, and his body completed a "C" shape. This was almost a slam dunk contest-level goal, and the empty confrontation completely blasted Terry.

Terry has more experience than Henderson, but in the face of Henderson's forced jump, Terry's experience is useless.

Henderson hung on the basket arrogantly, and Terry landed in embarrassment. Not only did he not prevent Henderson's offense, he also paid for a foul.

"Early foul, early foul!" Carlisle reminded the players on the sidelines.

Terry waved his hand to show that he understood that he underestimated his opponent just now, and he paid the price of underestimating the enemy.

The air defense sirens at the Time Warner Center sounded, and the Charlotte Air Brigade began to take off!
The free throw was scored, and Henderson's grievances were almost expressed. This is a perfect start.

Most of the worries in Sloan's heart were swept away, and it seemed that their small lineup was still sharp.

Taking the Mavericks' research on the Bobcats, their focus on the Bobcats is their small lineup.

The core of Shan Mao's "Death Five" is Chen Mo, who is the core engine of their routine.Strangling Chen Mo to death was equivalent to strangling Shan Mao's small lineup.Therefore, Mavericks began to pinch Chen Mo.And after Chen Mo transferred the ball, he quickly pinched the ball holder.And except for Chen Mo, the others did not switch defenses in the pick-and-roll.

Their routine has some effect in the half-court battle with the Bobcats, but the sharpest part of the Bobcats lineup is the counterattack!

As long as the Bobcats grab the rebounds in the backcourt, they will inevitably set off a fierce counterattack storm.

10 seconds before the end of the second quarter, Terry shot out of the basket from outside the three-point line.That defense against Henderson was also a very serious blow to Terry's momentum.

Milicic protected the backcourt rebound and threw it directly to Chen Mo, who was outside the three-point line. Chen Mo directly threw the ball to Jackson, who had already run halfway. Jackson replaced Henderson 2 minutes ago.

Jackson faked a shot and gave the ball to Gerald Wallace who came in from the middle.Gerald Wallace then gave the ball to Chen Mo, who was approaching from the right, and cut to the basket along the middle.

Milicic filled Gerald Wallace's position, and Marion next to him did not dare to continue chasing Gerald Wallace. Once he went to defend, Milicic's position would be empty , Chen Mo can give Milicic an excellent three-point opportunity with one round.And even if he chases Gerald Wallace, the probability of a successful defense is about 55%, and it is obviously not worthwhile to chase and defend.

Chen Mo directly threw the ball into the air, and Kidd behind Gerald Wallace could only look at the ball and sigh.

Gerald Wallace touches the ball and throws it into the hoop with 0.2 seconds left, and the Mavericks can't do anything for those 0.2 seconds.

"This time, the Bobcats did not dribble the ball during the entire attack. After a simple pass, the ball was sent directly to the basket." Zhang Lili said: "This kind of cooperation may be the peak operation of the Bobcats' small lineup. This is so wonderful. The peak passing coordination can only be played by them."

"At halftime, the Bobcats lead the Mavericks 58 to 49 at home. The Bobcats' small lineup works well. The third quarter should be a strong explosive period for them. Let's see how Carlisle will deal with it at halftime. !” said Yu Jia.

Compared with CCAV's straightforward narration, Barkley and Kenny Smith's performance on the commentary stand is more interesting.

"Charlotte started the offense without dribbling. This kind of small ball tactics is really cool." Barkley said: "The Charlotte Flying Brigade, under the leadership of commander Jack Chen, once again played like mercury pouring down the ground. Smooth attack."

"This is a routine that is difficult to play in the All-Stars, but it was played by the Charlotte people in the finals, and it was the last attack in the first half." Kenny Smith said: "In others It's extra flamboyant, but in Charlotte it's beautiful, it's a common offense."

"I'm curious what Carlisle will do with the beauty of the Charlotte Bobcats, whether he will smother it with violence or block it with solid defense."

During the intermission, Sloan discussed with Chen Mo. Chen Mo felt that after the start of the second half, he would continue to use small ball tactics and use their powerful explosive power to attack the Mavericks.

Originally, Sloan was reluctant, but after hearing Chen Mo's reasons, he agreed.

"The results of the first half proved that they didn't adapt to our offense. We only played two games in the regular season. The first game was the opener. They said they double-killed our team, but that was just a coincidence. In fact, they are very strange to us. No matter how hot Dirk (Nowitzki) is, we just need to fight on our own. Adjust the lineup more calmly."

In fact, Sloan still somewhat underestimated Chen Mo's level. As far as Chen Mo's current situation is concerned, he is already good enough to be the head coach of a team.

Carlisle also admitted that he didn't have a thorough study of the Bobcats' small ball offense. It is difficult to fully deal with many things just watching the video. However, with the contact in the first half, Carlisle quickly made adjustments and responses.

"If there is no particularly good opportunity, give up the offensive rebounds and go back to the defense. Everyone must retreat quickly. In addition, Jason (Kidd) you have to set up a barrier on the center line to prevent Jack Chen from quickly Even if it's just a second, it's enough."

"Jason (Terry) you're on the [-]-point line ready to defend Jack Chan's [-]-pointer..."

Carlisle drew several situations on the tactical board, and he drew very detailed the cooperation that Terry and Kidd needed to do in defense.

"The general idea is like this, you two will think about it."

"In addition, Dirk (Nowitzki) should attack more in the second half, and attack decisively as long as there is a chance for singles. You are our biggest advantage against Charlotte."

"And all our tactics must serve for Dirk to find opportunities for misplaced singles."

Carlisle continued to explain the adjustment of offensive tactics.

Carlisle's adjustments were quick, and they were also very targeted. In the second half, the Mavericks directly withstood the fierce outbreak of the Bobcats in the opening stage.They didn't let the score be stretched by the Bobcats' outburst.

In the first 4 minutes of the third quarter, the two teams were evenly divided.The Bobcats still have some violent attacks on the rim, but not as efficiently as before.

After 4 minutes, they scored 10 to 10. Although the Bobcats still led by 9 points in the total score, the Mavericks withstood the period when the Bobcats were most able to open the score through tactical adjustments.

"Today, the Bobcats played under a lot of pressure. Even against the Miami Heat, the Cats can lead by more than 10 points at this point in the third quarter. On average throughout the season, the Bobcats lead their opponents by 17.4 points at halfway through the third quarter. Against the Heat, this data dropped to 13.4 points, and this game against the Mavericks seems to be a sad 10 points." Zhang Lili said.

"The Mavericks still put a lot of pressure on the Bobcats! They are likely to continue to be stalemate as the game continues, and the Mavericks have a great chance of winning the stalemate until the end. This season, the Bobcats have a stalemate with their opponents until the last minute in 8 games. Chen Mo There were three lore shots, and the remaining five games all failed. Three of them were in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Heat. The Bobcats' stalemate ability at the last moment was poor. In fact, it was mainly because Chen Mo's physical fitness was running out at that time gone."

Zhang Reasonable's analysis is very reasonable, but Chen Mo and Bobcats are always growing. They are not a team that will not play if they are ahead.Chen Mo immediately realized that they could not take the Mavericks away with a wave of explosion, and immediately changed the rhythm of the attack. He was going to use the existing score advantage and home court advantage to deal with the Mavericks.

Carlisle frowned slightly when he saw that the Bobcats' offensive speed had dropped. He thought that the Bobcats would rush down without hesitation, and as long as his team survived the Bobcats' strong period, he believed that his team would not be far from victory. too far.

During this playoff journey, the Mavericks have staged many reversals, including the first three games where they reversed the Lakers by more than 10 points.

Bobcats lowered the rhythm, Kidd was not surprised at all, he immediately put the Mavericks' offensive rhythm under control.The two masters of rhythm compete on the field, and the control of the rhythm of the game is also very exciting in the eyes of insiders.

The Mavericks patiently used screens and pick-and-rolls to create singles opportunities for Nowitzki.Whether it's Milicic or Gerald Wallace, Nowitzki can easily eat them alone.

And once the Bobcats double-teamed, Nuo Tianwang sent the ball out, and today the Mavericks' outside touch is very good.Terry regained his touch in the second half. Although Marion's level has declined sharply in the past two years, his shooting percentage with his weird shooting posture can still be guaranteed.

At the end of the three quarters, the Mavericks were only 7 points behind the Bobcats.

"It seems that the game will be decided at the last moment. Generally, Chen Mo will not play at the beginning of the last quarter of the game, and there should be no change today. The task of the Bobcats at the beginning of the fourth quarter should be to stalemate the score. , wait for Chen Mo to come back and then decide the final victory." Zhang Lili said.

Regarding the characteristics of these two teams, everyone is actually very familiar with them.

The Mavericks team is solid. Their staffing and player mix this year are very reasonable. Under all reasonable conditions, the characteristics of this team have naturally formed.

They are not in a hurry at any time, even if they are 2 points behind in the last 10 minutes, they can still be calm.

The Bobcats believe in killing people with a stick. Their fast-break bombing in the first half and two periods first established some leading advantages. When the third quarter came up, when the opponent's physical fitness and defensive strength declined, they suddenly set off a wave. Bo's unparalleled offensive frenzy directly opened up the score and established the victory. Generally speaking, Chen Mo would clock out after the third quarter.

When the game entered the last 7 minutes and the score was still not drawn, the game had to wait until Chen Mo reappeared in the fourth quarter to decide the winner.

Chen Mo went into battle in the 6th minute of the final quarter. At this time, the two teams were 71 to 79, and the Bobcats led by 8 points.

"Nowitzki hasn't scored for a long time. Is he saving his energy to wait for Chen Mo to come back?" Zhang Lili's voice just fell when Nowitzki shot a direct hit after receiving Kidd's pass. Two points, and Milicic's hasty defense hit Nowitzki's elbow, and Nowitzki had to make another free throw.

"Come on, Nowitzki is about to start."

Chen Mo looked at Nowitzki at the free throw line. The German's free throws this year are really solid. After being hit 2+1 by Nowitzki, the lead of the Bobcats is only 5 points.

Chen Mo assisted Jackson on the offensive end and missed a jumper. The Mavericks grabbed the backcourt rebounds and slowly advanced towards the frontcourt. They have always stabilized their rhythm. If the Mavericks score again this time, the lead of the Bobcats will be very small. up.

Milicic was facing Nowitzki, and this guy felt a little nervous at this moment.

"I will pinch him for you later, and then you fill my position, and I will defend him." Chen Mo said to Milicic.

Milicic was taken aback by Chen Mo's words "I'll guard against him", but Chen Mo's tone was extremely firm, which made Milicic a little confused. Can Chen Mo defend against Nowitzki?
