Chapter 338. Chapter 339

After returning from the second quarter, the two sides took the lead in sending a substitute lineup to compete.

The Mavericks have Devin Harris, Daniels and Van Horn on the bench.

Although the firepower of the entire bench is not that strong, it is definitely not too bad.

However, as Mo Williams was put on the bench by Liu Rui in this game, it also made the Bobcats' bench offensive firepower more sufficient.

In the contest between the two sides' substitute players in the second quarter, the Bobcats gradually began to gain some upper hand. Although the advantage was not very large, it also kept the score on the field stalemate.

Facing the league's No. [-] Mavericks, it is not easy to achieve this step.

As the game continued, the main players of both sides also returned one after another.

With Nowitzki playing again, Liu Rui really asked Okafor to defend Nowitzki on the defensive end.

Nowitzki's feet are not moving fast, and his scoring shots basically come from mid-range fadeaway jumpers.

Although Okafor is slower than Wallace, his height still has some advantages.

In one-on-one marking, since Nowitzki will not be passed by, it will definitely have a better effect on interference shots.

Facing Nowitzki, even though his hands were very hot, Liu Rui still maintained a firm strategy of not double-teaming.

Because the entire Mavericks can reach the No. [-] position in the league, it is naturally impossible to rely on Nowitzki to score alone.

At present, the Mavericks are only Dirk Nowitzki who has performed well, and the others have not had a particularly good touch.

Once Nowitzki mobilizes his teammates' offensive enthusiasm, it will be really troublesome for the Bobcats.

At halftime, the Bobcats were on the road with:

50:54

Only four points behind the Mavericks, the difference of four points for the two offensive teams, it can be said that there is no guarantee.

The score is so close, which also makes the result of this game seem confusing.

Dallas home commentator: "My God, at the end of the halftime, the Bobcats were evenly matched with the Mavericks. The game has not been as one-sided as we expected."

"I have to say that the Bobcats have really improved a lot this season. Even against the Mavericks, the number one team in the league, they played so tenaciously. This is really beyond the expectations of too many people."

Partner: "Indeed, the most important thing is that the Bobcats have already experienced consecutive away games. Under such circumstances, they can still play such a game. I am afraid that no one would have thought of this before the game."

"And in the second quarter, after the Bobcats replaced Okafor to defend Nowitzki, Nowitzki's offensive efficiency dropped significantly."

"Whether it's the impact of physical strength or the success of the Bobcats' defense, at least the Bobcats' goal has been achieved. In this way, it depends on what kind of adjustments the two sides will make in the second half."

During the intermission, Liu Rui gave some instructions to the players. After all, before the game, Liu Rui had already said basically everything he could say.

At least in this game, Liu Rui was very satisfied with the performance of the players on the field.

So far, the Mavericks have not opened up their offensive points on the perimeter. Except for Nowitzki, the best performer is Daniels on the bench.

Faced with this situation, it is difficult for Liu Rui to be dissatisfied. After all, the current lineup of the Mavericks is indeed very strong, and the record is also here.

Liu Rui was naturally excited to win this game, but even if he lost, Liu Rui would not feel depressed.

After returning from the second half, the Mavericks obviously changed their rhythm on the offensive end, from the original Nowitzki attacking directly with the ball to adding tactical moves without the ball.

The current head coach of the Mavericks is former Spurs player Avery Johnson.

Avery is a smart man. At halftime, he realized that if Nowitzki's offense is relied on alone, then with Nowitzki's physical exhaustion, the Mavericks will fall into a very passive situation in the fourth quarter.

So in the second half, when Nowitzki held the ball, he arranged for other people to run without the ball, the purpose is to mobilize the offensive touch of the outside players.

The feel of this thing will naturally get better if you vote more.

Otherwise, once the other players are still in the first half, they will fall into an infinite turn-back run.

Then with the loss of time and physical strength, the Mavericks' advantage will disappear.

After all, when the Bobcats faced the Lakers in the last game, they used this method to drag the Lakers to death.

That's why the little general Johnson, who had seen through Liu Rui's intentions, made a big adjustment as soon as he came back in the second half.

Seeing the Mavericks' tactical moves on the court, Liu Rui off the court was also a little surprised.

He narrowed his eyes and glanced at the coaching bench of the Mavericks, then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he shook his head slightly.

As the Mavericks change their offensive style of play, although they can largely retain Nowitzki's physical strength and mobilize the offensive ratio of other players.

But the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, giving up Nowitzki, who was originally very hot, and choosing to mobilize other points, the pros and cons of this will naturally be exposed.

However, sometimes the idea is naturally good, but the feedback on the field makes people feel a little cruel.

Facing Christie's passionate marking, Terry has no touch in this game. So far, he has made [-] of [-] shots and [-] of [-] from beyond the three-point line.

He was so angry that he slammed the headgear on the ground, but he still couldn't find the touch on the offensive end.

Looking at the changes of the Mavericks on the court, Liu Rui was not polite at all, standing on the sidelines and shouting at the players.

"No. two tactics!! (No. two tactics!)"

Hearing Liu Rui's voice, the players on the field also nodded, and then there were some changes on the offensive end.

From the original holding the Mavericks outside to play, it has now been changed to play Wallace's pick-and-roll on the offensive end.

Everyone tried to hit Nowitzki as much as possible in the wrong position, and if they couldn't make a wrong position, they had to find a better breakthrough space for Wallace.

All the offensive pressure was transferred to Nowitzki in an instant.

Compared with Nowitzki, the Mavericks' perimeter defense is obviously worse.

However, since Liu Rui has seen through Johnson's intentions, he will naturally not do what he wants.

Since the little general wanted to retain Nowitzki's physical strength and mobilize the touch of other players by the way, Liu Rui refused to let him do what he wanted.

Since you want Nowitzki to be reserved on the offensive end, on the defensive end, don't be idle...
