NBA: Starting CBA system

7:00 pm

The Western Conference first-round playoff showdown begins at the same time.

The Mavericks and Spurs have the same starting lineup as they did at the end of the regular season. The lineup will be changed later in the best-of-seven games.

Mavericks point guard Kidd, shooting guard Carter, small forward Marion, power forward Nowitzki, center Ian Mahinmi.

Except for center Mahinmi, all of them are ruthless players.

Mahinmi is the center that Cuban signed from the Spurs a year ago. The Spurs know him very well. He is a pure engineer and a pie-eating player, but he definitely cannot achieve the role of a top inside engineer like a boxing champion.

As for the Spurs' five starters, huge posters were hung above the LED screens. The aisles were filled with various new posters of the team. The air was filled with the smell of popcorn, carbonic acid, and beer.

The staff arranged white home support T-shirts for all seats on site. Except for a small number of Mavericks fans who were unwilling to wear them, in fact, the Mavericks home jerseys also have white ones, and even the blue ones are light blue, so they look similar.

The 20,000 fans at the scene were shocked when they put it on, and there was a sea of ​​white people!

After the shocking introduction at the beginning, Jiang Hao was shocked by the atmosphere. Except for the cheerleaders, there were reporters and photographers sitting behind the basket. When he looked back, he saw various posters.

The front row seems to have moved a little closer or an additional row has been added to make it closer. The rich fans have an incredible experience watching the game.

Neither side shook hands or said hello. After all, there were at least 4 games to come. In the playoffs, they usually exchange greetings after the final winner is known. From now on, they are absolute enemies! !

Only one team can stay!

The referee blew the whistle to start the game amid the shouts of "go-spurs-go" from the audience!

After Mahinmi jumped to the ball, Jiang Hao also directly defended Nowitzki! ! !

On-site commentary:

"Wow! The Spurs have nothing to hide anymore!! Jiang Hao, the strongest defensive newcomer, directly faced the Finals MVP De Tianwang!"

"Can he defend it?"

"Before the game, he said he could guard against any super giant!"

Really on guard! ! !

On the first ball, when Kidd wanted to sling Nowitzki, Jiang Hao, who had been practicing for a long time, directly went around the defense on the wing and jumped high to get the ball in advance. Danny Green received the ball and converted a 3-pointer to try his hand!

Come out of the box!

Marion rushed to the backboard in front of Parker, and then passed it to King Detian who came out from the top of the arc to catch the ball! !

Nowitzki caught the ball this time, but after a confrontation with Jiang Hao, he stumbled. When he confronted Jiang Hao again, he suddenly withdrew his stool. Nowitzki, who already had weak legs and feet, fell directly to the ground, and Jiang Hao Another diving steal gave the ball to Parker.

Parker converted the top and turned around for a layup! !

"The Spurs scored for the first time, and Jiang Hao defended two steals in two rounds!! What level of defense is this!!"

"The Spurs seem to have made the right choice by letting him start the game against Nowitzki, who can't compete with his speed!"

Cuban, who was watching the game at the scene, looked gloomy. They also said in the meeting that rookies like Jiang Hao would definitely be nervous and lose their competitiveness in the playoffs.

But now it seems that the season and playoffs have no impact at all, he is a beast! ! ! !

"I'm not a super giant, but I can make the opponent not super giant!"

This statement really applies in practice! ! ! ! ! !

Chapter 143: The white horse shines, Nowitzki becomes an old Soviet hero

Chapter 143 142: The white horse shines, Nowitzki becomes the old hero of the Soviet Union, what about this toddler?

On the defensive end, the Mavericks did not use Kidd, who was said to be a god-level defender last year, to face Jiang Hao. They still faced off normally.

Jiang Hao met Marion.

Hacker Marion's most terrifying defense in Jiang Hao's opinion is that he keeps looking at himself with this ugly face

What a "hacker"!

It’s not about whether you can defend your opponent, but you should first shock your opponent.

And the shooting is really ugly, he is the only 38-type shooter in the NBA!

But in fact, his defensive skills are very average, and he is full of defensive talents. Jiang Hao also discovered this during the test with Jiang Hao in the first quarter.

This is indeed the man who can defend from one to five! ! !

However, during the heat stage, Marion was completely beaten by Riley and the others.

So Jiang Hao knew him very well. Marion's playing style was also something he learned from.

Marion: From one defense to five defenses, influencing the top forwards in the small ball era.

Pat Riley once predicted when analyzing him that the positions in the basketball game would become blurred because of his presence, and players would become even in height.

It is possible that the five players on the field are all about 2 meters tall, and they can all defend the inside and contribute to the team in terms of organization and shooting.

At the peak of his career, Marion scored 22+10 points like "drinking water" and could defend from one to five. He can be called the perfect forward "template" player in the small ball era.

Jiang Hao seems to be the same way. Judging from Marion's three-point shooting percentage this season, it will definitely explode in the next few years! He is the first player in the NBA to score at least 15,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, 1,000 blocks, and at least 500 three-pointers in his career.

Marion, who is 2.01 meters tall, is also the fourth player to score at least 16,000 points, 9,000 rebounds, 1,500 steals and 1,000 blocks. He stands side by side with great big men such as Olajuwon, Karl Malone and Garnett.

If Marion was playing in an era when the small ball era was booming, he would probably be unstoppable if he averaged 22+10 per game, and the double first team would probably be weak.

"It's really accurate!"

In the middle of the first quarter, Jiang Hao helped guard Kidd a little more. Kidd just threw it to Marion without looking at the man. Marion also shot the 38-style shot quickly enough. Before Jiang Hao could defend him, he quickly threw it He took the ball with his butt and hands in the same position and threw it out!

Enter! !

Steady, accurate and ruthless! !

After making the shot, he shook his head at Jiang Hao.

"Crash!"

"Awesome!"

Jiang Hao gave him a thumbs up!

Maybe this is a CBA-level shot, but it's so accurate.

And why Marion never changed his shooting posture is because of a very famous interview he gave:

"It doesn't matter whether your shooting form is ugly or not, as long as you can score goals."

I’m really getting more accurate every year with practice!

His three-point shooting percentage is so accurate that it exceeds that of Kobe Bryant, who is known as the textbook of shooting movements!

Later, when Kobe was teaching elementary school students, he also told them not to blindly imitate his shooting posture. His shooting posture was not used as a shooting standard, but only as a reference.

"If you have other shooting postures that are more accurate than mine, you can also study your own shooting methods!"

The Spurs' shooting coach Chip also scratched his head. Anyway, he couldn't understand how Marion could shoot the 38-type shot so accurately and quickly. The advantage of the 38-type shot is that both hands give power to the ball, which is definitely better. It's stable, but generally like the women's basketball team, they push it out from the bottom up, so it's very slow and easy to get blocked.

And because the shot point is low, there will be fewer single shots.

But Marion's jump shot was like a ricochet, which was totally outrageous!

The only shooting action in the league!

It was beyond his understanding, and he had no chance to find a sample to test whether this kind of shooting was really more accurate than Joko's shooting method.

Otherwise, with the style of the Spurs coaching staff, they really don't mind letting some players who haven't shot use this 38-style shot.

"This is weird!"

"JIANG, guard against Marion for another 2 rounds."

Why was Jiang Hao guarding Marion this round? It was because Marion had already hit two jump shots before, so the Spurs brought back Duncan to guard the King of Connaught. Jiang Hao went to prevent Marion from stealing the chicken, but he still got a ball stolen. .

"Well done, educating them!"

The Mavericks substitutes shouted excitedly.

Big brother Marion is the most confident person in the Mavericks. He has always said that he has had an impact on the changes in basketball play. He even thinks that the three forward lineups that the Spurs often use are due to his influence.

Small ball play and positionless basketball are all related to him.

Even when the Spurs tried Jiang Hao and Duncan to play a pick-and-roll, the effect was not very good. This former jumping man could even perform a dexterous jump to defend against lob passes in the moment of the pick-and-roll!

Marion was traded from the Suns to the Mavericks at the end of 2008, and his addition improved the Mavericks' defense.

After two seasons, the Mavericks went from 17th in the league in defensive efficiency of 108.4 in the 2008-09 season to 8th in the league in defensive efficiency of 105 in the 2010-11 season.

In the playoffs last season, Marion helped the Mavericks defeat the Trail Blazers with a total score of 4-2, and swept out the defending champion Lakers led by Kobe Bryant in the second round.

In the Western Conference Finals, they faced the Thunder, which had Durant, the season's scoring leader. Marion's defense against Durant was the key to the Mavericks' advancement.

In G4, Marion contributed the highlight moment of blocking Durant at the last moment of the regular season and dragging the game into overtime. The Mavericks were finally able to win that game and take a 3-1 lead with a total score, and went all out in G5. Another victory ended the series.

Facing the Heat with James, Wade, and Bosh in the finals, Marion made a huge contribution in helping the Mavericks limit James. Throughout the series, James averaged only 17.8 points per game, and only scored 10 points in G4. With 8 points, the Mavericks finally defeated the Heat with a total score of 4-2 to win the championship.

So despite the outstanding performance of Kidd and Barea last year, Marion is actually the basic perimeter defender.

This is why Carlisle let Marion and Jiang Hao play in the first quarter.

It is impossible for Kidd or Barea to guard a striker like Jiang Hao from the beginning. That can only be done when Marion is weak or in poor condition.

This also allowed Jiang Hao to only score 5 points in the first quarter! !
