Chapter 668 Walking with the Flowing Water and Moving with the Breeze (Second Change)

On January 2004, 1, at the American Airlines Center Arena, the Mavericks' running and bombing style of play made their game more enjoyable. Now it is one of the most attended stadiums in the United States.

The Pacers are now the most surprised team in the league with the Mavericks. Whether their defense is more successful or the Mavericks' offense is sharper, many people are looking forward to it.

The game officially kicked off at [-]:[-] p.m. Dallas time.

The Pacers Jr. O'Neal easily beat Nowitzki with a jump ball, and the Pacers slowly entered the positional battle.

The starting point guard for the Pacers was Anthony Johnson. After he dribbled the ball through halftime, he waited for his teammates to settle down.

Liu Han's defense focused on Artest. Today Nelson let Josh Howard start the game. The purpose is to strengthen the team's confrontation ability. After all, the Pacers are famous for their iron blood and bravery. The confrontation in today's game must be very fierce. .

Josh Howard showed a positive attitude as soon as he came on the court. He man-marked Anthony Johnson, and his defense was very close, making it almost difficult for the opponent to move.

At this time, the players of the Pacers have basically stood in their positions, and Anthony Johnson hoisted the ball into the hands of O'Neal inside.

Jermaine O'Neal leaned back against Odom, squeezed the opponent away with strength, then turned around and shot, the ball hit the board into the frame, simple and practical movements, Jermaine O'Neal is stronger than Odom in height and weight, he is not small Dislocation, this matchup is something the Mavericks can't do. Jamison is not tall, so he can't limit O'Neal at all, so he can only rely on Odom to top it.

As soon as the ball fell from the basket, Nowitzki under the basket immediately took the ball and exited the baseline to serve. The Mavericks are best at chasing and counterattacking.

Liu Han was close to the baseline and intended to catch the ball, but Artest only forced Liu Han's position, forcing Liu Han to fail to catch the ball smoothly to slow down the Mavericks.

But Nowitzki passed the ball to Josh Howard very smartly. He also has the ability to control the ball. After Josh Howard took the ball, he accelerated and passed Anthony Johnson, who was trying to take a risky steal. At this time, the speed of the Mavericks has already rushed up.

But Josh Howard had just handed the ball to Odom, who was running in front of him, and the Pacers' starting center Jeff Foster blocked Odom's progress with a direct foul without hesitation.

Odom originally thought that the game had just begun, and the opponent would not foul so quickly, but now it seems that he was wrong.

Pacers' starting center Foster is a pure blue-collar player. His biggest task in this game is to block the rhythm of the Mavericks as much as possible at the beginning of the game.

The Mavericks sent the ball up the court, but the Pacers took the opportunity to get back in place.

Falling into positional warfare seems to be quite unfavorable for the Mavericks. After all, although their inside line has a certain strength now, it still cannot be compared with the Pacers.

However, Liu Han started his own performance after receiving the ball from the sideline. His dribbling speed is actually not fast, but the rhythm of the center of gravity movement is very unpredictable, which makes Artest very painful to defend. He is heavier than Liu Han, and it is more difficult to move the center of gravity, but if he does not keep up with Liu Han's rhythm, he is likely to be broken through by the opponent's acceleration.

Liu Han's continuous front-body disguise and behind-the-back dribbling left Artest with no chance to get close, and could only follow Liu Han's rhythm, but now Liu Han is like a leaf fluttering in the wind, and the defender can't Predict what he will do next.

After another shaking of his left hand in front of his body, Artest finally lost his center of gravity. Artest, who was about to fall to the ground, tried to foul Liu Han directly, but Liu Han took a light step back at this time Jump to the three-point line to shoot.

The arc of the basketball is very high, and it doesn't touch the rim at all.

A series of wonderful performances by Liu Han made the fans in the American Airlines Center Arena stand and cheer excitedly. This ball is a purely personal performance, and it is a performance that interprets the rhythm of basketball to the extreme.

There was no color change on Artest's swarthy face, but Artest himself knew how hot his face was at this moment, and he was completely humiliated.

Liu Han's weight has indeed increased compared to before, but due to the particularity of his body, his muscle groups and body quickly adapted to this change. Now facing a heavyweight defensive player like Artest, he is agile. His style of play naturally made the opponent miserable.

The Pacers' defense is indeed very good, but Liu Han's defense is mainly based on Artest's single defense on the periphery. After all, it is impossible to double-team a player outside the three-point line. The team's formation was completely in disarray.

But now Artest's single defense against Liu Han is completely played, which is completely out of control.

The Pacers picked up their mood and started to attack, still following the regular pattern of positional warfare, but this time they encountered the Mavericks' zone defense.

The Mavericks' sudden change of defensive mode caused the Pacers' offense to fall into some confusion, but Jiang was really old and hot. Reggie Miller took the ball away from Jamison's defense and hit a three-pointer when the offensive time was about to come. Although he was old , but it can still play a certain role at critical moments.

Next, the Mavericks did not try to chase the ball, but slowly advanced to the front court. It was still Liu Han who dribbled the ball, and the others pulled away. This time Artest planned to get close to Liu Han earlier and rely on his own strength to make Liu Han lose. Rhythm and error.

But Liu Han once again tricked Artest with his magical performance.

When Liu Han came close to Artest, he first dribbled the ball behind his left hand and took a step to the right, attracting Artest to move to the left side of his body, then Liu Han dribbled the ball behind his right hand again and took a step to the left, continuing As Artest moved back.

Just when Artest thought he had pushed Liu Han into a dead corner this time, Liu Han caught the ball with his left hand and hit the ball from behind his body to the ground from his crotch. side breakthrough.

At this time, Artest was attracted by Liu Han's previous dribble to the left side of Liu Han's body. There was a huge loophole in his defense. Liu Han easily accelerated and passed Artest, and Artest again Get teased once.

This ball Liu Han played smoothly. He let Artest cut in like a stream of water, but he flowed from both sides.

Liu Han, who passed Artest again, did not hesitate to hit another three-pointer from outside the three-point line, and the Mavericks took the lead again.

Twice the Pacers were smacked about playing the opposing defensive champion, and the Mavericks fans once again stood up and applauded happily.
