92. The Unexpected Wang Zhi
Wang Zhi! Wang Zhi! Wang Zhi!
The entire American Airlines Center erupted in neat cheers!
On the night, Wang Zhi brought two individual honors to the Mavericks, and when the home team struggled to start, it was Wang Zhi who broke the home team's scoring drought of three or four minutes.
How can the fans not be excited?
It is true that Wang Zhi is not as good as Nowitzki in terms of team status and ability.
After all, Nowitzki had no solution in the first round, averaging 39 points per game and led the Mavericks to beat the Blazers 4:1!
Nowitzki this year has faintly emerged from the "troika" and has become the real core of this team.
But as the saying goes, "No matter how good your martial arts are, you are afraid of kitchen knives." No matter how fierce Nowitzki is, there is no solution. The Kings' defensive end resolutely double-teams him.
Obviously, the Kings and Trail Blazers are not the same.
The Blazers' defense is more like a gang of brave gangsters. Although the individual defense is very strong, they are all stragglers and undisciplined.
The defense of the Kings is more like a well-trained army, focusing more on teamwork!
Both styles have their own strengths, but against the Mavericks, it's completely different.
The loose defensive discipline of the Trail Blazers meant that they could only defend individually. In this way, when facing players like Nowitzki who couldn't defend one by one, they were ruthlessly blown away.
The Kings are different. A well-trained team defense can use double-team tactics skillfully at any time and any place, and through fast rotation, make up for the position that was emptied due to double-teaming.
As a result, Nowitzki, who had killed the Quartet in the last round, was locked by the Kings in the opening stage.
To make matters worse, the Mavericks can't pass the ball to get good open scoring opportunities.
The appearance of Wang Zhi is a hope, a hope to break the deadlock!
Although Wang Zhi's first attack was just to open up the space and hit a three-pointer, he did not show the characteristics of him being able to single-handedly hold the ball.
But soon, Mavs fans saw what they wanted to see.
After Finley missed a strong three-pointer again, the Mavericks attacked again. Nash 04 raised his finger and showed a tactical code that the opponent could not understand. Nowitzki took the initiative to go to the weak side and set an off-ball screen for Wang Zhi Finally, Nash gave the ball to Wang Zhi.
Outside the 45-degree three-point line, Wang Zhi held the ball to face Peja's defense.
Peja is only 2-3 centimeters taller than Wang Zhi, but in terms of moving speed, the two of them can be said to be about the same, and both are quite slow.
Wang Zhi was not in a hurry to attack after he got the ball. After the Mavericks' formation moved further, he opened up enough space for individual singles.
Seeing this, Christie, the core of the Kings' outside defense, stared at Finley from a distance, and reminded Peja loudly: "He is going to play singles, don't give him the space to shoot three-pointers!
It seems that the Kings came prepared, they are not the kind of arrogant team.
Even though the Mavericks were easily eliminated 4:1 last year, they still did enough preparations before the series.
Of course, these tasks will not miss the double winners of the best sixth man and the most improved player!
Obviously, the Kings have done the most research on Wang Zhi's weird, difficult, but miraculous step-back 3-point shot.
At this moment, after Christie reminded Peja, the 206-foot-tall No. 2 player stuck to it decisively, and raised his arms high, not giving Wang Zhi the space to shoot.
The three-pointer naturally knows the three-pointer best. As one of the most accurate three-point shooters in the league, Peifei certainly knows where the defense can cause the most interference.
However, does this alone work?
Wang Zhi is more than just a ball handler who can shoot three pointers!
Facing Peja's tight defense, Wang Zhi chose to let go of the ball and began to prepare for a dribble breakthrough.
Since Wang Zhi's first step was not fast, even if Peja was close enough, he didn't even think about passing Peja in one step.
Although Peja is tall and slow, it is indeed possible, but it does not belong to Wang Zhizhi's rhythm.
Wang Zhi began to dribble the ball under the crotch, took a step forward to make a breakthrough, and then observed Peja's defensive choices.
After seeing Peja subconsciously take a step back, Wang Zhi then dribbled the ball under his crotch to pull his center of gravity back, as if he wanted to pull the ball back and make a three-pointer step back.
His dribbling action was observed and analyzed by the Kings before the game!
Of course Peja remembered, so his retreat just now did not completely retreat, but left room for it. At this moment, seeing that Wang Zhi just wanted to pull the ball back, he immediately went back and "Stand in a defensive position!
Peja didn't jump too hard, and he didn't plan to jump. He knew how realistic Wang Zhi's shot fakes were, and he just sent him flying once.
But for Wang Zhi, Peja's forward movement, coupled with his high center of gravity and slow movement, is enough!
As a result, Wang Zhi suddenly turned forward again, and with a skillful dribble under the crotch, he passed Peja clean with a big stride. Seeing that Divac didn't directly come up to defend, Wang Zhi didn't hesitate, made an easy layup from the basket and scored the ball.
"Ding, dribble feints to score, fantasy value +1."
It's just the simplest and lightest feint to score points and gain 1 fantasy point, which is enough to show that this action is not too exciting.
Of course, this is also related to Peja's passing too easily.
But even so, there was a burst of shouts and cheers at the American Airlines Center.
"Hahaha, I just said, our Wang Zhi will definitely become a surprise soldier!"
"His singles is too stable, he looks slow, but he can pass his opponent in three or two strokes, really!"
"It seems that Wang Zhi has completely swayed Peja before he exerted his strength. The Kings probably have to switch to defend Wang Zhi!"
10:16
After playing, Wang Zhi has scored 5 points in a row. The Mavericks' previously power-off offense has indeed begun to come alive because of his arrival.
The Kings attacked, and Weber once again showed his comprehensiveness. Seeing that Nowitzki was defending at the back, he directly chose to turn around and make a mid-range shot on the spot.
hit!
10:18
Dirk Nowitzki is characterized by an inside body, but has the range and hit rate of a top shooter.
This type of player is truly unique in the NBA.
But there are no exactly the same, similar, there are still some.
For example, Chris Webber is, Weber is also an insider, maybe he is a slightly smaller insider, less than the fifth position, but there is nothing wrong with the fourth position.
Although Webber's three-point ability is not as abnormal as Nowitzki's, his mid-range shots, especially those near the penalty area, are also very accurate.
The reason why he can become the absolute supporting core of the Princeton system is because standing near the penalty area has enough deterrent power!
Whether it's passing the ball, direct shooting, or flexible breakthrough attack, he has practiced everything with a high degree of proficiency, so that when facing different defenders, he can always make the best choice.
When Nowitzki is defending him, if he is too close, Weber can use his faster and more flexible characteristics to make a breakthrough; if he is too far away, he can shoot directly.
No matter how bad it is, he can still support and organize his teammates.
But tonight, it is obvious that Weber's hands are very hot, so he has to attack first by himself!
It seems that the Mavericks' defense has little to do with Webber.
Then, just attack!
In the Mavericks round, Nash dribbled the ball across the frontcourt. This time, he no longer sought cooperation with Nowitzki and Finley. Since Wang Zhizhi felt hot, he gave the ball to Wang Zhizhi
Once again, Wang Zhi got the ball from beyond the three-point line.
Or Peja standing in front of him.
There was no defense change and no double-teaming, but not far away, Christie was still directing: "Peja, don't retreat too far, just defend him for three-pointers, and someone will help you make up!"
After hearing the words, Peja took a decisive step forward.
For this defensive strategy, Wang Zhi is absolutely right. After he slowly broke through Peja with a change of direction under his crotch, Peja also followed from the side.
Suddenly, Wang Zhi made an emergency stop and took advantage of the opportunity to make a skillful back dribble.
According to common sense, Wang Zhi knew that the ball should be a dribble with a back dribble to get rid of the defense.
However, this was just a fake dribble. After halfway through Wang Zhi's change of direction dribble, he suddenly twisted his wrist, and the dribble behind his back turned into a crotch dribble starting from the side and rear, and he dribbled with his right hand. kind of.
Peja was subjected to such a sway, and his center of gravity was already high, and he almost staggered under his feet. Fortunately, the speed of the lateral movement was not fast, so he did not appear embarrassed.
But Wang Zhi followed up with a dribble back and completely widened the distance between him and Peja.
At this time, the large open space in front of Wang Zhi was completely an open mid-range shot opportunity, of course he shot directly without hesitation.
swish!
hit!
"Ding, the dribble fake moves out of the open space and hits, magic value +3"
12:18
The entire American Airlines Center set off a heat wave again, and Wang Zhi's wonderful operation made the fans extremely excited!
Wonderful, so wonderful, so wonderful!
In fact, in the league, there are many defenders with excellent dribbling ability, such as Iverson and Hardaway, who are all masters of dribbling and changing directions. They always create many scenes in the game. Among them No shortage of classic ankle-finishing moments!
However, Wang Zhi's dribbling fakes and feints are very different from the traditional NBA dribbling masters.
First of all, the NBA's traditional dribbling masters are generally guards, not tall, and characterized by fast speed and flexibility.
Their direction changes are also fast and high-frequency, and when they run, they are as dexterous as butterflies piercing flowers!
But Wang Zhi's height is more than 2 meters, the center of gravity is not low, and the lateral movement and speed are not fast... Judging from these characteristics, he does not seem to be suitable to be a ball handler.
But the fact is that Wang Zhi is not only a ball handler, but his transformation is also pleasing to the eye.
There is no speed, but Wang Zhi only has span!
There is no frequency, but Wang Zhi only has rhythm!
In this way, his change of direction is extraordinary, and he has become the most special existence!
Compared with the huge stature of the point guard, he can constantly use rhythm changes to shake the opponent, use large strides to achieve breakthroughs, or pull back and retreat, and hit the goal of throwing away the space in an instant.
As the so-called "rare things are more expensive", this unique feature in the league is the main factor that makes Mavericks fans crazy.
Peja was stunned!
Although they had made enough pre-match preparations before the game and knew that Wang Zhi might play singles with the ball, they never expected that Peja and Wang Zhi would be so embarrassed when they faced off.
As the defensive core of the Kings' perimeter, Christie was originally responsible for marking Finley, who was more threatening, and clamping Nash after switching defenses.
But obviously, now he has more important tasks.
Ever since, he said to Peja: "I
Come defend him!"
The Kings attacked, Webb also brushed up, because he threw the ball in last time, this time he turned around and made a shooting action, which decisively attracted Nowitzki's defense, and then
Webber hit the ground and passed the ball to Bibby who cut suddenly, then suddenly started and rushed to the basket.
Nowitzki couldn't react in time, and he was not as flexible and fast as Weber, so he was suddenly thrown away.
At the Mavericks basket, LaFrentz has been mobilized by Divac.
At this time, the Mavericks' basket was empty, and Mike Bibby, who received the ball, did not choose to continue to accelerate to attack the frame, but threw the ball to the basket after a quick pass.
The ball arrives.
Chris Webb jumped high, received Bibby's well-timed pass, made a perfect alley-oop dunk, and dunked the ball in!
12:20
Obviously, this is a wonderful goal in 977, if it is at the home of the Kings. Such a lob match is sure to set the arena on fire.
At this time, the atmosphere of the originally extremely lively American Airlines Center has cooled down a lot.
Chris Webber, known as the most gorgeous fourth position of the era, is showing his talent to the fullest in Dallas.
In the post-Jordan era, a hundred flowers bloomed, the four major centers gradually retired, and the four major points began to rise.
At the same time, the fans also voted for one of the four power forwards!
These four power forwards are: Tim Duncan of the Spurs, Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks, Kevin Garnett of the Timberwolves, and Chris Webber of the autonomous team.
In the beginning, there were only three big four power forwards, without Webber.
Because the fans believe that Weber's strength is based on the existence of the Kings system, unlike the other three, they can become the system themselves.
But after Webber led his team to almost overthrow the Lakers in last year's playoffs and shattered their dynasty dream, the fans' evaluation of Webber has also become higher, and he has thus entered the top power forward
Front discussion ranks.
By this season, Webber is still continuing to prove himself.
Webber came in again, so the problem was given to the Mavericks.
Can the Mavericks, or rather, Wang Zhi continue to respond!
The fans are looking forward to it, of course they all hope that Wang Zhi, who has scored consecutively before, can make persistent efforts and not lose to the opponent.
Nash dribbled the ball up the frontcourt, but he still chose to pass the ball to Wang Zhi.
But this time, standing in front of Wang Zhi is the king's perimeter defense gatekeeper, Doug Christie!
Fans of the Mavericks naturally know that the Kings are a great outside defensive gate. Last year's Western Conference semifinals, whether it was against Finley or Nash, Christie gave them a lot
became a huge pressure.
However, when Christie stood in front of Wang Zhi, the Mavericks fans were not panicked at all.
"The Kings panicked. They actually used Christie to defend Wang Zhi? This is obviously the greatest recognition for Wang Zhi!"
"Yo, Wang Zhi pushed it up, it's a bit fast [Can Wang Zhi's top hold it up?"
"It's just a joke, Wang Zhi is only afraid of anyone when he fights. He can even fight against Kobe. A Christie is at most similar to Kobe's defensive level."
While the fans are discussing, the one-on-one offensive and defensive contest is about to begin!
Everyone was looking forward to it, but at this moment, Wang Zhi suddenly made a choice that surprised everyone.
He didn't choose to face the difficulties and singled out Christie, but passed the ball to the bottom corner suddenly and passed it to the captain Finley!
Due to the sudden pass and Peja's focus on coordinating with the team's overall defense, there is some distance between him and Finley.
After Finley got the ball, he didn't hesitate at all, and shot directly from outside the three-point line.
swish!
hit!
15:20
The fans at the scene were stunned for a second, and in an instant, they were all ebullient!.
