Chapter 556

Chapter 556

The Mavericks players, led by Qin Yang and Nowitzki, are relatively low-key and like to defend and shoot.

Gobert is not the case. Because of his poor shooting, he always likes to dunk.

This ball can be easily put in the basket. Is it interesting to dunk?

In the team, although Gobert is focused on training, he rarely plays with his teammates and rarely chats.

Gobert's defensive talent is indeed very good, but it is a bit similar to Marcus Camby. In addition to defense, the offensive end is awkward.

Even catching the ball lobs and looking for opportunities to shoot at the basket are not good enough.

Such a player is said to be very good, but it is very embarrassing.

The Grizzlies' defense is still questionable.The speed of the two insiders is too slow. Once they encounter an air cut and a player who is good at shooting, it is easy to stop.

Qin Yang didn't make a strong attack, but the Mavericks' offense was not weak.

With Qin Yang, the Grizzlies made a lot of defensive mistakes in the first quarter. Sean Marion caught the ball for a layup and got consecutive opportunities.

Casspi made several open shots.

The Grizzlies were disgraced.

Qin Yang had 6 assists in a single quarter.

Eight minutes into the first quarter, Qin Yang left the game as usual, Calderon came on, Al Jefferson came on, and Gobert played power forward.

This kind of lineup is all about pick-and-roll coordination.

Al Jefferson's strong point may not be very powerful when facing the Grizzlies, but he still has a great advantage when playing pick-and-rolls.

The Grizzlies' disadvantage has always existed.

After the pick-and-roll, Zach Randolph or Marc Gasol must come out, so the Grizzlies' inside line is empty again.

Originally, the interior defense was poor, but without one person, this game was even more difficult to play.

The Mavericks' tactics are simple and clear, playing inside.

In the 5 minutes of the second quarter, the Mavericks led by 8 points at home. The Grizzlies called a timeout. When the timeout came back, the Grizzlies changed their tactics and played zone defense.

It is impossible for the two insiders to be on the court all the time. If this continues, the Grizzlies will undoubtedly lose.

Therefore, at this time, we have to play zone defense.

The easiest and most effective way to break the zone defense is to shoot.

The three-pointer, especially the corner three-pointer, is a blind spot in the zone defense, which is why most teams now have one or two players who are good at three-pointers.

Mavericks tactics also will change.

Calderon does this very well.

But it didn't work out very well.

Casspi is good at outside three-pointers, but he hit the iron with two consecutive three-pointers from the bottom corner, and then Vince Carter also hit the iron with three-pointers from the outside.

Calderon also hit the iron with a three-pointer from the outside.

This continuous strike made the Grizzlies play a wave and complete the reversal in an instant.

The Mavericks had to call a timeout. This time Vince Carter was off the field, Qin Yang and Seth Curry were on the field, and the outside line was a combination of Seth Curry, Qin Yang and Casspi.

With the first ball, Qin Yang broke through.

The Grizzlies shrunk their defense, and Qin Yang threw the ball directly to the corner.

Seth Curry made a steady shot after receiving the ball.

Whoosh!

A three-pointer was hit.

With this ball hit, the Grizzlies played a little passively.

The Grizzlies attacked, Marc Gasol made a mid-range shot, Gobert got the rebound, and after Qin Yang received the ball, Casspi stepped forward to cover.

Qin Yang broke through and slowly came to the middle distance position.

In zone defense, mid-range is an awkward position.

This position must be defended, but not too defensive, because if it is thrown out, the opponent will break through and attack the basket.

The greatest significance of joint defense is the restriction on breakthroughs.

On this basis, the zone defense will play a big role in the defense of the basket and the competition for rebounds.

At the mid-range position, the Grizzlies immediately assisted in the defense. Qin Yang pretended to pass a pass to Casspi, who was running outside, and the Grizzlies' defense instantly went wrong.

Qin Yang took the shot easily and hit the board steadily.

This shot is very chicken thief.

No one expected that Qin Yang would make such a sudden shot. The Grizzlies' defense was not in place.

With two consecutive goals, the Grizzlies' defense was in chaos.

When Qin Yang stood still in the middle distance again, two people around him double-teamed, Qin Yang passed to Casspi, Casspi broke through and passed to Seth Curry.

Seth Curry made an easy layup.

Seth Curry is somewhat similar to Stephen Curry. In addition to his excellent three-pointers, he also does a very good job of ending the offense after attacking the basket.

Breakthrough skills are excellent.

The Grizzlies' interior defense was slow again.

There is no way.

Qin Yang scored 6 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, helping the team recover some points, but the Mavericks were still behind.

Intermission.

Tencent Live.

Teacher Wei Ping was a little less interested: "Qin Yang's dismissal in this game has changed a bit, maybe he was too tired. He took few shots in this game, and most of them were passed to his teammates to create opportunities for them. After halftime, he only scored 11 points. If this continues, it is impossible to score more than 50 points in this game. It's a pity!"

"Yes, everyone expects Qin Yang to set a record in this game. Regardless of whether the Mavericks can win or not, as long as Qin Yang scores, it is a good thing."

"Let's watch the second half!"

……

The audience who watched the live broadcast instantly became excited:

"I, Qin, don't need to score, as long as I can win."

"Silly X, Brother Qin doesn't need to prove himself with victory, as long as he gets the record in a regular season, who will dare to grab the MVP of this season's regular season."

……

Halftime break.

The atmosphere in the Mavericks locker room was a little stagnant.

Nowitzki was no longer in the first game, and the team played so entangled, which had never been encountered in previous games, as if the team's strength had dropped a lot because of this.

Gobert fell silent.

Before the game, Gobert vowed to guarantee that the two insiders of the Grizzlies would not be able to score, but in fact, Gobert did it very generally.

Not to mention being blown up, but there are no restrictions on the Grizzlies inside.

Outside, the Mavericks did not perform well.

Qin Yang clapped his hands, called his teammates over, and said:

"I'm not used to Dirk's absence, but the team has always been strong, never a single person is strong. Even if I am absent due to injury, you should not have the performance today."

"Seth, your breakthrough can be better, and your passing and three-pointers can be more determined."

"Casspi, I believe you have not regressed from two years ago, this is not the performance you should have."

"Sean, we need you to put more pressure on them outside. The offensive end needs to be more determined. I know your shooting has always been very good."

"Cory, I believe you can play better and be more active."

"Al, maybe you haven't played for a long time, but I don't think you are as good as Zach and Gasol."

……

Qin Yang mentioned everyone on the team.

"In the second half, we have to play more united and everyone has to be more focused. I believe we will have a better performance."

"it is good!"

Corey Brewer was the first to speak, still smiling.

Thackeray continued to wave the towel, and the others laughed too.

Rick Carlisle, who was standing outside the locker room, turned and left after hearing this.

"Maybe, I don't need to make adjustments at all."
