Almighty legend life

Chapter 619
Liu Han grabbed the rebound and didn't continue to dribble, but directly passed the ball to Odom who had already run halfway. After receiving the ball, the latter did not continue to dribble but threw the ball high. The Lakers Jamison flew up to catch the ball and dunked successfully at the basket, and the Mavericks expanded the point difference to four points.

An attack of less than four seconds made everyone on the Lakers see how terrible the Mavericks are now.

Now this Mavericks team has very good athletic ability except Nowitzki's slow speed.

Such a fast and lightning-like fast break only appeared in the "RUN-TMC" trio created by Don Nelson when he was coaching the Golden State Warriors. At that time, the "TMC" composed of Hardaway, Mullin and Richmond "The combination averaged 1990 points per game in the 91-72.5 season, and the Golden State Warriors averaged 116.6 points per game that season, which was the best in the league.

The absolute speed of the current Mavericks must be much slower than that of the "TMC" combination at that time, but fortunately, there are many suitable passers in the Mavericks team. Jamison and Odom are players who are willing to share the ball. He is not short in height, and has very good athletic ability, which can play a very good role in positional warfare.

Liu Han doesn’t need to hold the ball all the time in the offense. After he fails to break through, he can hand the ball to Odom or Jamison to organize again. At the same time, he can fall to the low post to find singles opportunities, but the Lakers will definitely not have such an opportunity. Willing to leave it to Liu Han, everyone knows that Liu Han is a player who can be singled out with Jordan, and there is no difference between putting such a player in a low position and sending points.

Not only did the Lakers fail to tie the score after a timeout, they even fell behind even more. This made the Lakers players question the coach's tactical arrangements, especially O'Neal, who was originally unhappy with Phil Jackson. , Now Jackson asked him to play less and respond more, O'Neal was very angry.

The game continued. After the Lakers attacked halftime, O'Neal directly asked for the ball in the low post, but Payton did not give O'Neal the ball again, but passed the ball to Malone in the high post. The singles requirement attracted the attention of the Mavericks' defense. Jamison originally planned to pinch O'Neal, so Malone, who was defending him, missed someone.

The Lakers played this ball well, and their tactical thinking was relatively clear, but O'Neal was very unhappy.

In the next game, the Mavericks began to implement Liu Han's tactics during that timeout. Liu Han dribbled the ball across the half court, and even let Odom directly dribble the ball across the half court. The speed dropped to hit.

However, the Mavericks' style of play made the Lakers very uncomfortable. Nowitzki didn't go inside, but just covered his teammates in the high post, and if Liu Han got the ball in the low post, the Lakers had to be double-teamed. Liu Han can't be guarded, but once Liu Han is double-teamed, the Mavericks' three-pointer will make the Lakers extremely afraid.

With 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the Mavericks led the Lakers by five points 30-25.

The Lakers first made adjustments. Although O'Neal stayed on the court, Payton and Malone were off the court to rest. Phil Jackson took over the team for too short a time, and he is still in a state of groping. Now there is no chemical reaction between "F4". Had to adjust the lineup again.

The Mavericks also made adjustments. Liu Han continued to play to lead the team's offense and defense, but Nowitzki and veteran Aaron McGee were off the court to rest, rookie Josh Howard played, and "Big Bamboo Pole" Bradley also won playing opportunities.

However, in the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, the Mavericks had some problems. Bradley was too slow. Except for his height, he was completely inferior to O'Neal. In the defense, he could at most protect the defensive rebounds. In the offense, Bradley It has become a drag on the team. Obviously, the No. 93 pick in [-] is not suitable for the Mavericks' tactics. Even if Liu Han deliberately slows down to play, Bradley's running is not active enough.

The Lakers seized the opportunity of the Mavericks' consecutive unsuccessful attacks to equalize the score, and O'Neal even made Bradley get two consecutive fouls as soon as he came on the court.

At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers had tied the score at 32.

After entering the second quarter, the two teams put on substitute players. The Lakers were led by Derek Fisher to attack, and there were rookies like Luke Walton in the team. "Compared to Bill Walton, Luke Walton was called scum by the Lakers in the second round, but it has to be admitted that Luke Walton, as the second-generation star, is not stage fright at all.

The Mavericks' bench lineup is a little thinner. Not to mention the performance of the two rookies, players like Travis Best and Edondo Najura really have little effect on the court.

Xue Yuyang also got a chance to play in the second quarter. Although his confrontation ability is still weak and his upper body strength is insufficient, his good movement makes up for it. This is why he has won the trust of Nelson. Xue Yuyang's speed of [-] meters It's not much different from Jamieson, which is rare among people of the yellow race, of course Liu Han is an exception.

The Lakers extended their lead to 6 points in the halfway through the second quarter relying on the excellent performance of their substitutes.

Afterwards, Nelson decisively dispatched the main players in advance, and Nowitzki made his debut first. However, he missed the three-pointer today, mainly because he was trying his best to learn Liu Han's three-point shooting posture, which made his shooting rate very low.

Then Liu Han and others also appeared on the stage one after another, and the Lakers also began to replace the main players.

Liu Han started to take over the game after he came on the court. He increased his breakthrough, and then scored a strong attack under the basket, causing the Lakers to foul inside. He also actively double-teamed O'Neal in defense. His efficiency has dropped a lot.

Gradually, the Mavericks actually slowly caught up with the score.

The Lakers have four kings, but they haven't been well used. While Phil Jackson is testing the various combinations of the team lineup, he is also testing the bottom line of each player. After all, the big name in the Lakers team A lot, Phil Jackson needs to adjust their relationship. After all, he has worked with Jordan. In terms of cooperation with big-name stars, Phil Jackson still has his own set of methods.

With 1 minute left in the second quarter, the Mavericks overtook the score. The score of the two teams at this time was 56 to 53, and the Lakers trailed by three points.

Liu Han scored 16 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds in the first half of the game. O'Neal's side was much stronger. He scored a double-double in the first half, 19 points plus 10 rebounds is enough to see his dominance.

The two teams were almost tied in the first half.
