Chapter 330 Taste the Gale
Carlisle didn't expect the Bobcats to start so fiercely. In fact, he didn't expect Chen Mo to start so brutally. It didn't look like his style at all.
"Today, Jack Chen played really badly at the start. To be honest, I have never seen Jack like this." Reggie Miller sighed: "Tonight, he still played beautifully and gorgeously, but he gave me a kind of Very oppressive."
Yu Jia made a very good analogy in the studio of CCAV, "The swordsman in white clothes suddenly became serious. When he is no longer playing in the world, he can overturn the whole world."
Chen Mo did look different tonight.However, Carlisle has a very headache.
Regarding the Charlotte Bobcat, Chen Mo was the person Carlisle studied the most, but he finally came to the conclusion that this person has no solution.
Chen Mo's biggest shortcoming is his attitude towards the game, he always has a playful and game meaning in it.Only when the opponent puts enough pressure on him, he will play better and better.
Through inspiration from the Miami Heat, Carlisle saw this and capitalized on it.That nearly gave them an epic comeback in Game [-] of the Finals.
In this game, Carlisle expected that Chen Mo would explode, because they would no longer be able to use that method to "steal" the game victory.
Therefore, Carlisle is going to consume Chen Mo through oppressive defense and lethal defense.When Chen Mo's condition reached its peak, he didn't have much physical strength to explode.However, he sent Stevenson to do lethal defense, but was teased by Chen Mo like a child.
What bothered Carlisle the most was that Chen Mo seemed to be on the fast track from the very beginning, and it seemed that he was going faster and faster.
"He has to be stopped." Carlisle thought, frowning.
As a last resort, Carlisle decided to use the method he used to deal with Chen Mo in the last game, using half of the team to defend against Chen Mo, and let others beat them.
"There is no reason to flank him, let others score, and let others win us." Carlisle said: "Giving him more consumption will never make him play more comfortably."
Zhang Lili was also analyzing the situation on the court during the timeout, "Chen Mo played very aggressively at the beginning of the game. If the Mavericks want to win today, they must strangle Chen Mo to death."
"Chen Mo has a biggest weakness that everyone knows. His physical fitness is a huge problem. We all know this, but no one can take advantage of it."
"In the seventh game against the Heat, he solved the problem in three quarters, and didn't even play in the fourth quarter. So what the Mavericks have to do now is to consume Chen Mo and not be destroyed when Chen Mo is exhausted. gone."
"In this situation, Carlisle may choose to pinch Chen Mo without thinking, and test the touch of other Bobcats players except Chen Mo. This is a lot like a gamble, but it is the most reasonable choice for them now. If they can In this way, if they stalemate until the final quarter, maybe they can still stage the big reversal before."
Zhang Reasonable's analysis is very thorough, and Carlisle did indeed choose this way.
Naturally, Sloan could guess Carlisle's choice. Just in case, he once again took out a weapon he had never used from his arsenal.
The Bobcats asked Chen Mo to play the 2nd position, and Livingston replaced him. At the same time, Chen Mo was allowed to focus more on offense without the ball.Compared with Jackson's defense against Nowitzki, Livingston can also play a certain role.
The small man defends the big shooter, mainly to press his center of gravity and stick to him so that he does not let him take off comfortably and destroy his shooting rhythm.
So, Jackson's absence won't actually affect the Bobcats as much as Gerald Wallace's absence with the Heat.
The game restarted, and Nowitzki made a mid-range shot. This year, Nowitzki's touch is really scary.In the case of two fingers injured, he can still maintain a relatively stable shot.
Carlisle has been standing on the sidelines. This time their defense is very important. If they still cannot limit the Bobcats' offense, they will be in trouble.
Livingston directly held the ball across the half court, and then he did not hand the ball to Chen Mo like when the Bobcats used two point guards in the past.Instead, Chen Mo ran back, and Livingston stopped at the top of the arc.
The Bobcats pressed the rhythm, and at the same time Chen Mo made an off-ball screen for Livingston in the three-second zone.
Chen Mo blocked Nowitzki and Marion. Although his screen was only one, the Bobcats followed up with the second screen.
Milicic recovered from the right waist to the basket, then Chen Mo withdrew, and Milicic followed the screen.Nowitzki thought that Milicic was going to run to the basket, so he took a step back. Who knew that Milicic continued to screen for the screener.
Marion was blocked, Chen Mo quickly withdrew and ran towards the top of the arc, Gerald Wallace blocked Terry who was chasing for Chen Mo, after Chen Mo went around the three-point line, he used Livingston's body to make another shot As a screen, Livingston handed the ball to Chen Mo. At this time, Chen Mo had already shaken off all the defenders.
A series of screen tactics made the Mavericks a little confused. Chen Mo caught the ball and turned around to shoot directly. He pursued a faster turn and shot for this ball, and didn't jump at all.As soon as the Mavericks players from both sides came to help defend, Chen Mo made a shot.
The seven consecutive playoff contests are to see who is more targeted at whom and whose response is more targeted.
At the last moment of the last game, Chen Mo was forced not to take a shot. Even if he played off the ball once, he missed a fleeting opportunity because his teammates couldn't get the pass in time.
Immediately, Sloan came up with this hand-to-hand pass, and arranged several screens on a running route to cover the "cover man" tactic.
Sloan's tactic is to keep the ball almost in a static state, reduce the error rate of the pass, let Chen Mo go around to cover to find the ball, and finally the passer will make another screen for Chen Mo, so that Chen Mo can make a shot. Purpose.
This tactic is actually testing Chen Mo's ability, but after all, as much ability as there is responsibility.
Afterwards, Chen Mo combined offense with the ball and offense without the ball, and the game was always advancing at the pace of the Bobcats. At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats had a 15-point lead.
In the second quarter of the game, the Bobcats are in the rotation. In fact, Jackson's absence has an impact on the Bobcats' rotation.Because both Livingston and Henderson will play early, this disrupts their rotation rhythm.
Carlisle did not intend to play the main force at all, except that Barea replaced the old Kidd, Terry replaced Stevenson, and the other three were still present.
"Carlisle is not going to let the starters rest!" Zhang Lili said: "But this may be the best opportunity and method. Chen Mo's physical fitness is definitely not enough to support him to play the whole game. He is not on the court. At that time, the Bobcats' attack power dropped sharply, and this is a good opportunity for the Mavericks to stalemate the game."
When Chen Mo was away, the tenacious Dallas people were indeed chasing points back. Even if Chen Mo scored a perfect stat of 15 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, they were still not shocked by Chen Mo's fierce aura.
The tenacity of Dallas people has long been a hot topic, but Chen Mo is not here to become the next Texas cockroach.
After venting in the first quarter, Chen Mo's mood became more stable. Chen Mo said to Sloan: "Boss, I think we should slow down the pace next."
Sloan glanced at Chen Mo, he didn't understand.
"This is how the Dallas people dealt with us in the last game. They know how to avoid our edge. We put too much pressure on them before, and now their momentum is strong. They must think that when I play next time, We will play small tactics, and they must be ready to defend against our fast break. So we just don’t play fast with them, continue to play with the rhythm of the first quarter, wait until the second half begins, and directly kill them One blow. This time I won’t give them another chance to stand up, I will keep the rhythm under control, if they played like this in the first half, there will definitely be physical problems in the second half, and we will run to kill them.” Chen Mo said.
Sloan felt that Chen Mo's argument made sense, and he naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Just do what you say! I'll arrange it, and you just need to be ready," Sloan said.
During this period of time, Mavericks chased points fiercely, and Sloan remained calm after communicating with Chen Mo.
When the game comes to the finals, it is not just a hard steel frontal strength competition between the players on the field. All tactics and timing control are very important.It is often a small detail that determines the outcome of a game.
In the 5th minute of the second quarter, the Mavericks narrowed the score to 9 points, which has changed from a double-digit gap to a single-digit gap.
In NBA games, teams chasing points often have several nodes.
The first one is chasing double digits into single digits. This is a great psychological hint. The next node is 7 points, then 5 points, and then tying... Basically every team has a Such a process.Every time a node is reached, it is an incentive for the mentality of the players on the field.
And the team that is being chased will often call a timeout at these nodes.
When the score was chased to 9 points, everyone thought that Sloan would call a timeout and replace Chen Mo.But Sloan didn't.
Sloan kept Chen Mo on the bench until the 8th minute, when the point difference narrowed to 6 points, he replaced Chen Mo.
Since Chen Mo wanted to finish his work in the second half and beat the Mavericks to death in one go, Sloan simply did it better.Taking advantage of the temptation to narrow the point difference, let the main players of the Mavericks play harder and consume more.
"After the timeout is over, Sloan will probably use a small lineup. After such a long period of consumption, the Mavericks don't know if they can stop the Bobcats' onslaught!" Zhang Reasonable said.
But then, immediately, immediately, Zhang Lili was slapped in the face.Sloan was replaced by a regular lineup of two point guards, and it seemed that Sloan wanted to replicate the rhythm of the game in the first half.
Zhang Lili coughed in embarrassment and seemed a little speechless.According to the normal rhythm, what he said was correct, but today the Bobcats deliberately did not play their cards according to the normal routine.
Don't say that Zhang Lili guessed wrong, even Carlisle didn't expect that Sloan still hasn't played small tactics.But Sloan did not change, but he did not dare to take it lightly.
According to the first quarter of the game, Chen Mo combined offense without the ball and with the ball. Chen Mo scored another 6 points in 9 minutes and sent 2 assists at the same time. The Bobcats stabilized the point difference at 9 points.
This may be an acceptable gap for both teams. As long as the gap is maintained, the Mavericks will not be unable to stage a reversal at the end of the game.
After returning to the locker room, Chen Mo replaced Sloan and explained their arrangement for the second half in detail. Chen Mo's explanation was very detailed, and he already looked like a head coach.
So far, let alone Chen Mo's teammates, Bobcats stars admire Chen Mo very much.Even the old guys on the coaching staff admire Chen Mo a lot.
With some small tactical cooperation during the game, Chen Mo can often come up with a magic touch.Even when it comes to macro tactical arrangements and tactical thinking, Chen Mo can have unique insights and ideas.
In the second half of the game, the Charlotte Bobcats played in a small lineup.Livingston replaced Jackson's position. This lineup lacked a better three-point output point, but accelerated the speed of moving the ball and the accuracy of passing.They can hit faster and kill more.
Just after returning to the locker room to take a breath, the Mavericks found that the Bobcats had directly turned their motors to maximum power.
Nowitzki missed a shot in the second half, and his injured finger felt faint pain after halftime. Milicic grabbed the rebound and immediately transferred the ball to Livingston.
Livingston didn't look at the ball either, and once again passed the ball to Chen Mo who had already run to the front.
As for Diaw and Gerald Wallace, they were running at full throttle.
After receiving the ball, Chen Mo didn't make any adjustments at all, just dribbled the ball and continued to sprint.
Although Chen Mo was not fast, there was almost no difference when he moved forward without the ball to dribbling after catching the ball, and there was no pause when he connected the ball.
This is a very powerful ability. The Mavericks never expected that the Bobcats would drive the offensive speed to such a high speed from the beginning. In a blink of an eye, Chen Mo had come to the free throw line. Gerald Wallace shot from behind with the fastest The speed sprints.
Chen Mo made a fake shot to attract the defense. He raised his arm and snapped his wrist. The ball flew past Kidd's fingers and bounced high after hitting the ground.Gerald Wallace simply paid attention to Chen Mo's movements, and then took off directly. He believed that Chen Mo would send the ball.
Sure enough, when Gerald Wallace jumped to the top, the ball flew right in front of his eyes.
Gerald Wallace grabs the ball and dunks directly, a perfect aerial Jerry.
The fans were also shocked by the counterattack of the Bobcats as fast as a whirlwind, and at this time the big screen at the scene gave the time consumed by the Bobcats' attack-6.2 seconds.
From Milicic grabbing the rebound to Chen Mo assisting Gerald Wallace to put the ball in, they spent a total of 6.2 seconds.
"Taste the blast!" Chen Mo said calmly to Kidd in front of him.
