Almighty legend life

Chapter 631

At the start of the game, Nowitzki miraculously won the jump ball. He defeated the Spurs starting center Nesterovic. The big man from the city of Ljubljana, Slovenia jumped early Yes, let Nowitzki seize the opportunity to win a rare one.

Nowitzki dialed out the ball and was grabbed by Odom, and the Mavericks first attacked.

Liu Han took the opportunity to go down quickly, but Bruce Bowen sucked directly on Liu Han like an octopus, which made it difficult for Odom to find opportunities to pass the ball. In desperation, the Mavericks turned into a positional battle.

Liu Han didn't make an attack quickly, and then he used Jamison's cover to get rid of Bowen's close pressing and then successfully received the ball outside the three-point line.

Bowen immediately bypassed Jamison and continued to chase and defend Liu Han. Liu Han took the ball with both hands outside the three-point line, and Bowen immediately took off to block the block. Wen dare not have the slightest carelessness.

In fact, the defensive players in the league now do some research on Liu Han, but they all think that Liu Han is the most difficult kind of person to defend, with a long range, strong stability, and not afraid of confrontation. In addition, Nelson The coach's recent deterrent tactics have also played their due role. Everyone will fall into a long-term thinking when defending Liu Han, because it is difficult for the defenders to guess what Liu Han's next move will be.

Bowen jumped up to block Liu Han's shot, but Liu Han raised the ball with both hands and took it back. At the same time, he dribbled to the left and broke through. Bowen quickly spread his legs in the air, intending to use unconventional movements to limit the shot. Liu Han made a breakthrough, but Liu Han once again exceeded Bo Wen's expectations. Liu Han, who had just moved forward and seemed to speed up the breakthrough, adjusted his center of gravity in an instant, and at the same time jumped back with both feet to outside the three-point line and shot calmly.

Liu Han understood Bo Wen's series of defensive moves, but Bo Wen couldn't guess Liu Han's offensive intentions at all, and even if he could guess Liu Han's intentions, he probably couldn't defend well, because Liu Han's actions seemed to be Simple but not everyone can do it. Such a smooth connection and extremely fast adjustment of the center of gravity require extremely high body coordination and control.

The ball hit the basket accurately from beyond the three-point line, and the Mavericks took the lead at the beginning.

Popovich is not without envy for Nelson. Players like Liu Han are the favorite of every coach, but Popovich also knows that Liu Han will never come to his team. There is no plan to trade Liu Han to the Spurs.

The Spurs still advance slowly at their own pace. Although Tony Parker actually likes high-speed advancement very much by nature, after coming to the Spurs, he gradually changed after being criticized many times by Popovich. own ball control.

After Parker brought the ball to the frontcourt, the Spurs' formation quickly rotated. Duncan covered Parker in the high post and Nesterovic took the position in the low post.

Parker relied on Duncan's cover to dribble the ball to the top of the arc and met Jamison's help defense. Duncan took advantage of the situation and slanted in. Parker passed the ball to Duncan from the gap between Jamison and Alan McGee, but at this moment Liu Han Bowen, who suddenly gave up his defense, appeared on the ball's running line and intercepted the ball. The Spurs' offense was directly seen through by Liu Han just now.

As soon as Liu Han steals the ball, the speed of the Mavericks has completely increased. Odom, Aaron McGee and Jamison rushed down one after another. Liu Han directly threw the ball to Aaron McGee. The ball crossed again to Jamison, who followed up in the middle. Jamison reached the ball to the left with both hands, and Odom caught the ball from the left and dunked successfully.

The Spurs who "play Tai Chi" met the Mavericks who played "Six Meridians Sword", and the Spurs suddenly couldn't play anymore. They were attacked by the Mavericks at the beginning.

The Spurs players on the field did not panic because of the loss in the opening game. Under the influence of Duncan, the Spurs players seemed to have a temperament of not being surprised.

However, there are still many problems in the Spurs' offense. Nesterovic has an advantage against Nowitzki, but although Nesterovic is a European player, his offensive methods are lacking. Unexpectedly, Dirk Nowitzki couldn't even back-up, while Duncan was frequently double-teamed by Jamison and Odom, Parker's mid-range and long-range shots were unstable, Bowen completely disappeared under Liu Han's care, Ginobili Having performed poorly in the starting lineup, the Argentine seemed more suited to lead the bench.

By the time the first quarter hit 5 minutes, the Spurs had only scored 7 points, while the Mavericks had already scored 15 points. The two sides did not seem to be of the same level.

Popovich had to call a timeout in advance. He could tolerate the team's poor performance at the beginning of the season, but he could not tolerate the team's big loss.

For the Mavericks, in addition to Liu Han making a three-pointer, Nowitzki also hit a three-pointer, and Duncan couldn't defend against him beyond the three-point line.

Relying on three-pointers and rapid fast breaks, the Mavericks were able to lead by eight points so quickly.

Nelson is quite satisfied with the team's performance. At least when facing the Spurs, the Mavericks have all the offense they should have. At the same time, the defensive players also have positive performances, especially Jamison and Nowitzki. Duncan, a starting center who marks the opponent, and the two often switch defenses, and both have achieved certain results.

Liu Han doesn't feel any pressure on Bowen's defense now. After all, he once educated Bowen in the game and caused the opponent to leave the field injured. Now he relies on strong deterrence and more mature basketball skills to completely Can abuse each other.

Popovich made changes to the team's tactics after the timeout. Nesterovic was replaced, and Duncan topped the center position. At the same time, he also replaced Ginobili, who was underperforming. The two players on the field were Malik Rose and Robert Horry.

Horry is an old friend of Liu Han. His contract with the Lakers expired this year, and then he came to the Spurs to sign a low salary. He doesn't care about money, he just wants to win a few more championships.

Malik Rose was the rookie of Liu Han in the same year, but he was not selected by the Charlotte Hornets until the No.15 pick in the second round. However, after coming to the Spurs, his defensive ability was improved by Popovich. Development, he scored 6.5 rebounds and 10.4 points in limited playing time last season, and he can be regarded as one of the "bandits" on the bench in the Spurs.

After the game restarted, the Spurs still played at a slow pace, but their main player now was Duncan. Duncan directly played Dirk Nowitzki in the low post, and passed the ball when he was double-teamed by the Mavericks. The Spurs gradually stabilized the situation. .
