Chapter 744 Two cores, no need to fight

Chapter 744 Two cores, no need to fight

On the 25th, the Mavericks ushered in another big battle, away to the Cavaliers.

The strength of the Cavaliers has not weakened much this season. At least Isaiah Thomas, jr Smith and the first round pick will definitely not suffer.

But before this game, the Cavaliers' record was not good enough.

Although I won a lot, I also lost a lot of games.

Isaiah Thomas seems to have lost the strongest 175cm strength on the surface, which doesn't match the Cavaliers' tactics.Isiah Thomas has repeatedly complained that the Cavaliers' tactics are too rigid.

This game is called a preview of the playoffs.

"The Cavaliers are still one of the strongest teams in the league. If there is a team that can still fight the Mavericks, then the Clevelands are definitely the most likely one. We look forward to James defending the dignity of the home court!"

James was also very confident when he was interviewed:

"The Dallas Mavericks are one of the strongest teams this season, but the Cavaliers are also very strong. We will do our best in this game. The NBA is never alone."

James really wants to spray the Mavericks for a group.

But hold back.

Because there is no way to spray it, James himself is the king of the group, and James is the first to hold a group at his peak.Before James, there were at most two core complaints. After all, the Celtics' Big Three were at the end of their peak, not even at their peak. So it's not too much for Qin Yang and Durant to team up.

After all, there are two people, not the Big Three.

From the very beginning of the game, the Cavaliers played aggressively.

This game is the home court of the Cavaliers, and the defense scale is very large. When Qin Yang held the ball for the first ball, JR Smith, who defended Qin Yang, tried his best.

Qin Yang can play singles, but at this time he has no choice.

Nurkic made a screen, and Qin Yang wanted to break through, but was pulled by JR Smith at the critical moment, and the referee hesitated for a while and did not whistle.

With this pull, Qin Yang's breakthrough slowed down a bit.

Tristan Thompson has no problem with defensive positioning.

The other teammates moved around, and there was no good chance. At this time, Qin Yang had only one choice, singles against Tristan Thompson.Tristan is fast, good at defending pick-and-rolls, and has a high defensive efficiency against guards. This is why the Cavaliers are willing to sign 500 million a year.

Qin Yang was not in a hurry, pulled the ball back to the right, and came out of the three-point line again.

With this retreat, the Cavaliers' defense was in chaos.

JR Smith spared Nurkic and rushed up, Tristan Thompson hesitated, instead of going forward, he ran towards Nurkic again.

In an instant, Qin Yang jumped up.

JR Smith jumped up directly, but Qin Yang stepped up and fell down. When JR Smith jumped up, Qin Yang shot.

Snapped!

Big hand foul.

The whistle sounded, and although he didn't make a shot, Qin Yang made 3 of 3 free throws.

The first ball jr Smith was targeted by Qin Yang.

Seeing this scene, Coach Blatt really wanted to replace JR Smith, but what should he do after the replacement?The Cavaliers didn't have a better option.

The Cavaliers attack.

James took the ball and broke through directly. Kevin Love made a screen to avoid Durant's defense, but Nurkic stepped up, and James stopped and accelerated to hit a close-range shot.

James has improved a lot over the years.

Although many experts and fans have not seen it, as a player in the league, they can still clearly feel James' progress.

The finishing ability at the basket and shooting ability have all improved a lot.

The Mavericks attack.

Durant gave Qin Yang a screen. After the screen, Qin Yang broke through and James assisted in the defense. Qin Yang passed the ball to James Ennis, and Ennis directly passed the ball to Durant who made an air cut. Durant scored an easy layup.

The Cavaliers' Kevin Love is too slow. In this situation, he can only watch Durant score.

The Cavaliers attacked. After James broke through, he gave the ball to JR Smith. JR Smith shot the iron against Qin Yang.

Fortunately, Tristan Thompson grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to James. James made a steady mid-range shot. Gobert cut the ball to defend Tristan Thompson, and James had little pressure on close-range shots.

The Mavericks attacked, James Ennis screened, Qin Yang broke through to the mid-range position, and the shot missed.

James grabs the rebound.

The Cavaliers attack, James passes to Kevin Love, this time Love squeezes Durant, turns and hits a hook.

Durant's strength has become very strong in recent years, and he can defend against James alone, but the inside and outside are still different. Don't look at Kevin Love's slow speed, but he is very strong and shoots very well.

This kind of insider, with tactical support, is a superstar.

The Mavericks attack, Durant screens again, Qin Yang breaks through to attract double-teams, passes to James Ennis, Ennis passes to Durant, Durant breaks through with the ball, and passes to Qin Yang who is running to the bottom corner, Qin Yang easily hits a three-pointer.

This three-pointer is the beginning of the Mavericks' offense.

The Cavaliers attacked, Qin Yang intercepted James' pass, turned around and Durant made a fast break after receiving the ball, stopped outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer.

Immediately after Gobert blocked the shot, Durant got the rebound, Qin Yang took the ball and shot a cold arrow from a long distance.

Hit again.

With three three-pointers, the point difference was instantly opened.

The Cavaliers called a timeout.

Isaiah Thomas was brought on.

It was okay when Thomas Jr. was not on the court, but after he was on the court, the Cavaliers' offense was completely messed up.Thomas Jr. played well in the Celtics, but it doesn't mean how strong Thomas Jr. is really. His performance is related to the Celtics' tactics. The Cavaliers' tactics will always be James as the core, and Thomas Jr. can't be ranked.

With two ball-handling cores on the court, the Cavaliers' offense is useless.

Originally, the Cavaliers' offense was a bit rough, with not a lot of passing and cutting cooperation and pick-and-roll coverage.

As long as the dribble crosses the half court, Thomas Jr. will go it alone.

Pass?

nonexistent.

Thomas Jr.'s data is not good, his performance is not good, and he has been questioned in the Cavaliers. In this crucial battle, Thomas Jr. is like showing himself and proving himself.

So, be sure to attack.

But ... the Mavericks have rim-protecting gatekeeper Gobert.

Needless to say, Gobert has protected the rim and interfered with shots at the basket in the past few years. He is more efficient than Howard. He was already the league's number one last year.

第一节最后5分钟，小托马斯6中1，虽然罚球4中3，拿到5分1篮板的数据，但是小牛队已经把分差拉倒了11分。

In the first quarter, it felt like there was no need to play.
