Almighty legend life

Chapter 628 In the duel above the sky
Only in the first round of offense and defense, Liu Han and Carter presented wonderful performances to the audience present. Such a game is undoubtedly very attractive.

After the opening appearance, the two sides entered the rhythm of the game. Carter no longer tried to attack Liu Han. He knew that he could succeed for the first time, but he would definitely not get any benefits from Liu Han, and he had to focus on defense. , because Nelson still asked Liu Han to implement deterrence tactics in this game.

Since Liu Han was allowed to let go of the offense, the rest of the Mavericks also actively opened up space and created opportunities for Liu Han to single-handedly attack Carter, which left Carter with little spare time to think about offense.

Carter was trying his best to defend Liu Han. His jumping and excellent physical fitness made up for some lack of experience, but it was a pity that he met Liu Han. After Liu Han hit two consecutive three-pointers, Carter started to get into trouble. As soon as Liu Han raised his hand, Carter thought that Liu Han was going to shoot a three-pointer, which made him have to jump to block the shot, but often Liu Han's actions were fake moves, and he waited calmly. Carter accelerated his breakthrough after taking off and landing, which made Carter hard to guard against and extremely depressed.

And what makes Carter even more depressed is that Liu Han often staged various dunks after breaking through him, making the game the same as the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. When Carter's teammates wanted to defend Liu Han, the Mavericks players They will appear in the air in due course. Although the overall shooting percentage of the Mavericks is not high today, and because of the back-to-back away games, they are not very active in running, but the Mavericks will get enough opportunities, even if it is only [-]%. Hit rate, but the difference between ten shots and twenty shots is double the score.

In the 7th minute of the first quarter, Dirk Nowitzki went off to rest, and Xue Yuyang played as a guest center.

After that, Josh Howard also replaced the veteran Allen McGee. The Mavericks lineup is faster and more mobile. Although Xue Yuyang is not as good as Nowitzki in three-pointers, his movement speed is not bad among big men, relatively stable The CIC also makes Xue Yuyang a great threat after the high pick-and-roll.

Carter put too much energy into the defense and was weak in the offense. Except for the dunk in the first offense, Carter did not find a suitable breakthrough opportunity, but he still relied on his teammates to make two three-pointers. .

In the last 2 minutes of the first quarter, Liu Han and Carter left the field one after another, and the two sides gradually replaced the bench lineup, but at this time the Mavericks had already led by 15 points.

Liu Han scored 10 points, 18 rebounds and 4 assists in 4 minutes of playing time in the first quarter.

Carter also scored 10 points, but his shooting percentage was only [-]%.

Liu Han and Carter fought for almost a whole quarter, and he felt the pressure that he didn't have before. This flamboyant dunk from Florida has a good defensive ability. One-on-one, Liu Han thinks that Carter is enough to defend most of the league's forwards and guards. swing man.

After Liu Han left the field, Odom, who was the only starting player on the Mavericks team, took over the responsibility of organizing the offense. He is now valued by Nelson, and Nelson thinks Odom is very suitable for his players.

Odom is indeed worthy of Nelson's affirmation. With a height close to [-] meters, he can compete with defenders for speed, and his mid-range and long-range shots are not bad. In defense, he is the team's defensive leader except Liu Han. Except for No. [-] In addition to the one position that he can't defend, he can defend and play the other four positions, which greatly enriches the Mavericks' tactical routines to a certain extent.

On the other hand, the Raptors, after Carter left the field, the team fell into a state of confusion. The rookie Bosh, who was selected as the fourth overall pick in the first round, was unable to find the North by the Mavericks player Najera, and Bosh became a colander in defense. , was scored two plus one by Odom in a row.

Liu Han did not appear again until the 5th minute of the second quarter. At this time, Carter had already played. He only rested for the last 2 minutes of the first quarter and the rest time between the first and second quarters.

In the time before Liu Han re-appeared, the Raptors relied on Carter to play a good offense. Carter even dunked several times on Bradley's head, and the Raptors supporters on the sidelines were jubilant.

After Liu Han came on the field, Carter turned off the engine again. The two were about the same height and weight, but Liu Han's speed and strength were stronger than Carter's. Liu Han also had advantages in some other attributes, especially in terms of anti-interference, Liu Han could He still hit a three-pointer under the almost close defense of the opponent, but Carter was a little bit worse. Although he could throw it in sometimes, Carter himself knew that the shooting in this situation was almost unsure, but Liu Han had it. Great confidence to invest.

When the game entered the second half of the second quarter, Odom returned to the court, Liu Han began to change his strategy to play off the ball, and Carter had a harder time defending.

In the 8th minute of the second quarter, the Mavericks attacked, and Liu Han fell to the left low position. Odom lobbed the ball to Liu Han in a timely manner, and Carter held Liu Han firmly from behind.

Liu Han felt Carter's strength in his waist, and when he felt that Carter was about to make an effort, Liu Han suddenly dribbled the ball with his left hand to the baseline and turned to break through.

After many years of stance training, Liu Han has a new understanding of the control of strength. Now he can basically guess the opponent's next movement intention as soon as he comes into contact with the opponent's body. This feeling is quite similar to the listening power in Chinese martial arts. near.

Carter's center of gravity was shaken, and he could only watch Liu Han break into the penalty area easily, and then Liu Han jumped high, dunking the ball heavily into the basket through Antonio Davis' defense.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Liu Han not only scored but also caused a foul by the opponent. The score difference between the two sides has reached 20 points.

With Jordan's complete retirement, in fact, there are fewer and fewer low-post singles of this kind of swingman in the league. The swingman of each team is more about shooting from outside the three-point line and various frontal breakthroughs. , but Liu Han is back now, and he has given a lesson to the new generation of swingmen. His low post technique can actually play a big role in the game.

Carter's feeling of helplessness is getting bigger and bigger. When he first entered the NBA league, he expected to lead a team to the finals and win the championship. But with the experience of these years, Carter has become more and more The more disappointed, one is disappointed with himself, and the other is disappointed with the Raptors management. Carter feels that he is getting farther and farther away from the championship now.

When the halftime game ended, the Mavericks widened the point difference to 24 points. Liu Han scored another 18 points in the second quarter. The duel between him and Carter almost became one-sided.
