With the start of the second half, Wang Zhi scored 8 points in a row in a short period of time, while the Rockets' unstoppable Dayao in the first half was restricted.

Under the ebb and flow, the Mavericks quickly smoothed the point difference.

In desperation, the Rockets could only choose to pause and make tactical adjustments.

Tomjanovich is also a famous coach. He led the Rockets to win the two championships in the 1990s.

But compared to the old Nelson, Tang Shuai still lacked some qualifications and experience.

...

The Mavericks will not use old tricks. After the timeout, their offensive tactics have changed.

This made the targeted defense suspended by the Rockets come to nothing.

The Mavericks' offensive tactics have changed over and over, but the core has not changed. They still use a lot of pick-and-rolls and screens to let attackers with the ball find Dayao and put pressure on him. The purpose, of course, is to consume him!

Nash, Wang Zhi, and Nowitzki all played...

After coming to the NBA, in the previous games, Dayao was always able to send one wonderful block after another while defending at the basket, and after adapting to the rhythm of the offensive end, he became synonymous with "integration of offense and defense".

But today's defensive pressure is something he has never experienced before...

When he started to get a little out of breath, the Longguo center finally realized: It seems that he was too optimistic to think that he has adapted to the rhythm of the NBA. In this league, he still has a lot to learn.

...

Obviously, Dayao has a clear understanding of himself.

Soon, Old Nelson taught him a lesson again.

When the Rockets began to regain their touch on the perimeter and hit those three-pointers that were released from the distance, the Mavericks made defensive adjustments again, no longer double-teaming Dayao, but returning to the previous one-on-one defense.

Seeing this, the Rockets hit the ball to Dayao under the basket again.

There is nothing wrong with this strategy. After all, Dayao is the most destructive point for the Mavericks' defense.

The performance of scoring 20 points in the first half is enough to illustrate.

At this time, the Rockets found their touch on the perimeter, and the Mavericks did not dare to play any more. Then the ball was hit back to the most threatening place, which is of course an excellent strategy.

However, the problem is that when the ball returned to Dayao's hands again, his previous dominance at the basket was completely gone!

Even if he was facing Nowitzki, Dayao's close-range shots, which were almost flawless after turning around the basket, also came out of the frame.

...

It's normal to miss a shot, and no one can hit a hundred shots.

However, in the next attack, the ball was given to Dayao again. This time he forced Nowitzki to turn around and find a rebound shot, which also missed.

...

In the next round, Dayao attacked with the ball again, but Nowitzki accurately cut the ball.

...

If they failed to win three rounds in a row, there must be a problem.

Tang Shuai was keenly aware that Dayao was no longer as comfortable on the offensive end as he was in the first half.

His movements were no longer light, and even a little slow, and his confrontation with Nowitzki gradually showed weakness.

Obviously, Dayao's physical fitness has declined seriously.

Unable to score on the offensive end, and being targeted by opponents on the defensive end, Dayao's physical management has serious problems.

Under such circumstances, Tang Shuai was not stubborn. Even though he only played for more than 6 minutes in the second half, he still chose to replace Dayao early and let him rest.

...

The Rockets fans at the scene were a little strange.

"What's wrong with Dayao? The first half was so fierce, why did the power suddenly cut off in the second half?"

...

After the end of the field, Dayao walked to the bench with his head downcast. After the first half, he thought that tonight would be another breakthrough for him to reach a higher level.

But the performance of only 2 points so far in the third quarter seems to make this breakthrough a greeting.

Tang Shuai encouraged him and said, "Yao, don't worry too much. You have performed well enough tonight. Next, as long as you sum up your experience and overcome your problems, you will grow a lot."

Dayao nodded.

...

Dayao is off the court, Wang Zhi is still on the court, and in an instant, facing the Rockets' Eddie Griffin's defense, Wang Zhi used a set of silky sharp changes of direction + dribbling fakes + shooting fakes to pass Grid After Riffin was completely swayed, he hit a mid-range shot steadily.

After making this goal, Wang Zhi has scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in 7 minutes of playing time in the second half.

...

At this time, in the Dragon Kingdom on the other side of the ocean, the gathered Dragon Kingdom fans were dumbfounded, and they no longer had the previous grandeur.

The "hero" Dayao suddenly lost power in the second half, but the "villain" Wang Zhi played an excellent performance.

This is a scenario they don't want to see.

At the same time, somewhere in Longdu, the "people with lofty ideals" who gathered to cheer for Wang Zhi spontaneously began to cheer.

"Hahaha, here it is, here it is, Wang Zhi has finally shown his performance!"

"I just said, he will explode in the second half, come on, Wang Zhi!"

"Continue to fight like this, and one day, the truth will definitely surface!"
