Chapter 663 Benches and Bricks

The author is over [-] years old but has never had any fights. Even when I was a child, I rarely played with children, which is very regrettable. According to my friend’s introduction and watching others fight, the power of the bench is actually higher than that of the brick. The weight of the bench is greater than that of the brick, and there are more places to hold the force. The brick seems powerful, but In fact, it is difficult to exert force in the hands of ordinary people.

So when the Mavericks played against the Kings in the second quarter, it was like a duel between the bricks and the bench. The "bench gangsters" of the Kings taught the young Mavericks a good lesson.

In fact, at the end of the first quarter, the gap between the two teams was already quite large. The Mavericks took advantage of the slow speed of the Kings' defense and seized the opportunity to hit the Kings' chasing ball, which made the Kings exhausted. , Adelman even did not hesitate to replace Brad Miller just over halfway through the first quarter, and then called a timeout to make temporary adjustments to the team's tactics, hoping to limit the speed of the Mavericks in the next game. But unfortunately, the Mavericks started in a very good state today. After all kinds of comfortable passes, they made unreasonable three-pointers. In the first quarter alone, the Mavericks team hit 9 three-pointers. The number of three-point shots in the game is only 12 times, and the super high shooting rate makes the entire Arco Arena a little silent.

After the start of the second quarter, the Kings replaced the bench players headed by Bobby Jackson, and the Mavericks took advantage of their huge advantages to start training. As a result, these young players and rookies of the Mavericks looked abnormal in front of the "bench" of the Kings Weak and weak, Josh Howard only knows how to cover his head and work hard, Xue Yuyang lacks the ability to fight, and he can't even find a chance to make a shot after being close by the opponent. As for the rookie Korver who was traded from the [-]ers, this handsome The young man is too conservative, he doesn’t make shots without being open, and his defense is just running with the opponent’s players, which doesn’t work at all. He hasn’t adapted to the rhythm of the NBA at all, or he hasn’t adjusted his mentality yet.

The Kings' bench players played an 5-18 climax in the first 4 minutes of the second quarter. Nelson couldn't bear it no matter how crazy he was. Liu Han and Odom returned to the court, and Korver was dejected. Back on the sidelines, he played five minutes, scored two fouls without scoring a point.

After Liu Han came on the court, he first made a strong three-pointer to stabilize the situation and allowed the Mavericks to maintain a 7-point lead. However, when he came back to defend, Bobby Jackson of the Kings also made an unreasonable three-pointer from outside the line. Mi shot to help the Kings narrow the point difference to 4 points again.

The two teams soared three-pointers each other, which made the fans on the scene very addicted, and the fact that the team's substitutes could exchange three-pointers with superstars like Liu Han made the fans of the Kings excited.

Bobby Jackson was a rookie selected by the Denver Nuggets with the 97rd pick in the first round of 23. A year later, he returned to Minnesota, the city where he was in college, but he was not reused in Minnesota until he came to the Kings , Adelman gave Bobby Jackson the unlimited fire rights to come off the bench. Bobby Jackson, who has experienced right and wrong, has long lost the youthful frivolity of the year. He seized the opportunity to help the Kings bring out a group of "bench gangsters" , Why is it called gangsters, because in general games, the substitute players are transitional, and their role at most is to help the main players foul or take the blame, but Bobby Jackson's Kings substitutes broke this unspoken rule, they even It can be used against some teams' starting hard steel in the game, which to a certain extent makes up for the Kings' tactics. Princeton is certainly a very good tactic, but not all players can easily integrate into it. Go into tactics.

In the last season, Bobby Jackson averaged 10 points, 15.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game in less than 3.1 minutes. This is already a top performance for a substitute player .

Now the Kings are in trouble. The team's starters can't stand up to the speed of the Mavericks. They are almost dragged down by the Mavericks' fast break, but Bobby Jackson once again stood up.

The Kings' substitutes don't pay too much attention to the rules in the game. Everything is mainly to limit the speed of the Mavericks. They also know that their playing time is running out, so they don't have any scruples when they start, and frequently use fouls to interrupt. The Mavericks have started to attack, which makes the rhythm of the Mavericks fall into chaos. Even though Liu Han is on the field, his helpers are all young people. Young people are easily affected by emotions, and they unconsciously fall into chaos among.

With 4 minutes left in the second quarter, the Kings gradually replaced the starting players, but the score gap between the two sides remained at 5 to 7 points, and was not further expanded.

At this time, Nelson is thinking more about the defects of the team's substitute lineup. Such a substitute will definitely not be able to withstand the bombardment of various teams in the playoffs.

After the two sides returned to the starting lineup, the Kings finally adapted to the rhythm of the Mavericks. Whether their offense was successful or not, they returned to defense immediately. Although the chances of the second attack were reduced, it was guaranteed that the team would not be defeated by the Mavericks. The chasing ball wears down, especially Brad Miller and Divac who have returned to the field. They are very important to the team. They are used to organize the offense and protect the inside line in the defense. .

At the end of the halftime game, the score of the two sides came to 64 to 57. Although the Mavericks were still in the lead, their speed advantage was offset by the Kings.

During the intermission, Nelson unceremoniously criticized the team's substitutes, especially some young players. Josh Howard was scolded bloody by Nelson. This stubborn and somewhat withdrawn boy bowed his head and said nothing. send.

After Nelson finished his criticism, Liu Han didn't say anything more, he just comforted the young people of the team.

"Guys, don't worry, if Tang still scolds you, it means he is paying attention to you, if he doesn't pay attention to you anymore, then you have to find another family, haha, don't say anything else, everyone was young, wrong Everyone will have it, but it depends on whether you will change, concentrate on the game, concentrate on training, I believe you will find a path that suits you."

As a person who has experienced and is also a successful man, Liu Han's words have regained a little confidence in the young Mavericks.
