With the opening jump ball, Stoudemire still lost to Tyson Chandler very easily.
Tony Allen actually has little effect on Stevenson. Stevenson is strong in defense and offense and has little offensive power.
However, the role of Tony Allen is to make Danny Green face Marion.
In the last game, Gallinari's defense against Sean Marion was a mess, and Sean Marion used no desire to cut in, which made the Knicks very embarrassed.
Gallinari hasn't had much to do with this trick so far, and Marion can always get rid of it without the ball.
Danny Green will be much better against Marion. After all, he has experience in defending Wade, and it is not difficult to keep up with Marion.
Moreover, Danny Green came to the third position. Once Marion defends Lian Dao and Danny Green runs without the ball outside, it will be easier to have opportunities on the offensive end.
The reason why the Thunder were defeated was not because of the offense, but because of the defense. There are not many people in the Thunder lineup who are good at one-on-one defense and assist defense, and the Thunder star Durant is not good at defense without the ball. Very limited.
But the Knicks are just the opposite. Their outside line is known as the "bronze wall and iron wall", which is directly used at this time.
As the offensive core of the Mavericks, Nowitzki can be said to be the key to the Mavericks winning.
Nowitzki is a slow player, but after the touch comes up, the full firepower is quite terrifying.
But in the face of Lian Dao's death entanglement and physical oppression, it is difficult for Nowitzki to hit.
Lian Dao clung to him tightly, without giving him any room to open up. With his younger body, he kept interfering with Nowitzki's offense at the basket, independent of Jinji.
The Mavericks still wanted to use Chandler's pick-and-roll to let Nowitzki get rid of Lian Dao, but this trick didn't work in this game.
Stoudemire's defense was exceptionally tough today. Although he still couldn't guard Nowitzki, he bought Lian Dao time to get rid of Chandler's pick-and-roll.
Lian Dao's defense is at the top level in the league, and once he spares no effort to limit a player on the defensive end, no matter who it is, it will be very uncomfortable to face Lian Dao's defense.
Nowitzki, under the crazy entanglement of Lian Dao, can easily stop the ball. Once the ball is stopped, he will encounter the joint double-team of Stoudemire and Lian Dao.
The entire first 9 minutes of the first quarter, Nowitzki was spent under the entanglement of Lian Dao's physical fitness.
"Hey, Sickle's defense is too fierce, but he spares no effort on both ends of the offense and defense, and the physical consumption has increased exponentially!" Even Barkley, who is very confident in Lian Dao's physical fitness, can't help but feel worried for Lian Dao.
At the end of the first quarter, the two teams began to rotate. Gallinari was not replaced, Lian Dao returned to the third position, and Millsap was replaced at the fourth position. Jason Terry was also replaced by Mavericks. Substitution out.
The score on the field is now 20:19. Both teams put more energy into the defensive end today, so the score is not very high.
After seeing the Knicks replace Millsap, Nowitzki smiled. Nowitzki, who has a height advantage, thinks it is very easy to deal with the little-known Karami like Millsap.
It's just that as soon as he caught the ball with his back, Nowitzki felt a powerful force, not weaker than Lian Dao at all, but Nowitzki had a height to support him, so he still didn't care. Take off, shoot.
A set of smooth offense unfolded, and Nowitzki was full of confidence. He didn't believe that Millsap could interfere with him.
Indeed, Millsap's height cannot interfere with Nowitzki's shooting, but this does not mean that Nowitzki is safe.
At this moment, Lian Dao came over from the side to help defend, and his big hand directly patted the basketball thrown by Nowitzki.
The role of Millsap is to force Nowitzki to shoot, and Lian Dao will do a good job in defense.
The basketball was grabbed by Danny Green, who then handed the ball to Holiday.
Lian Dao made a quick break without the ball, and received a pass from Holiday just outside the three-point line.
Marion turned pale with fright, but it was too late to slam on the brakes and return to defense, and he just watched Lian Dao make a move.
"brush!"
Lian Dao hit the first three-pointer since the opening game, and it was still a fast-break counterattack in a sports game.
Lian Dao, who hit a three-pointer, didn't feel excited to celebrate at all. His calm expression made the Dallas Mavericks fans stand up and get goosebumps all over their bodies.
Lian Dao muttered to himself while returning to the defense, and Marion next to him heard it clearly.
Everyone knows that Lian Dao has never been an open-minded person. It can be said that this guy will take revenge on the spot, and he likes to take revenge on the spot. He didn't have a chance last time, but this time he will definitely take revenge.
And Lian Dao's three-pointer also made Sean Marion wary.
In fact, Lian Dao is very accomplished in three-point shooting. However, no one would classify Lian Dao as a shooter.
This is not because Lian Dao's shooting rate is poor, but Lian Dao is too comprehensive to be summed up by just a shooter.
And it was Lian Dao's comprehensive skills that made many people ignore his three-point fear.
The three-point champion for two consecutive seasons, hitting 386 three-pointers in a single season.
Once the guy surrendered, Marion shuddered. He didn't dare to think about it anymore, but his expression became more and more serious.
Seeing Lian Dao still yelling to encourage his teammates to strengthen their defense, the overall momentum of the other Knicks players began to turn around.
Kidd couldn't help swallowing, the Knicks are a growing team, from the leader to everyone else is growing rapidly.
Their growth rate is amazing, adapting to the rhythm of the game, and their experience on the court is increasing rapidly.
Kidd didn't know if they could escape from danger again in this game.
The Mavericks are attacking, and Marion is still running wildly. He hopes to use the running position to relieve Nowitzki's pressure on the offensive end, and at the same time consume Lian Dao's physical energy.
However, Lian Dao is not a fool. D'Antoni has set a defensive strategy against Marion, to a certain extent, he gave up defending Marion's outside shots, and turned to the inside to double-team Nowitzki.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple can be used. 】
No matter how strong Nowitzki is, it will be difficult for him to score easily under the double siege of Lian Dao and Millsap.
Besides, from Nowitzki's heavy breathing, Lian Dao knew that Nowitzki had a physical problem.
This kind of heavy wheezing is not the wheezing caused by exhaustion, but the wheezing caused by nasal congestion.
And now Nowitzki is sweating profusely. Even though the Knicks are under a lot of defensive pressure, Nowitzki's physical strength will not be exhausted without finishing a quarter.
It seems that what happened in the original history, Nowitzki is still unavoidable.
It turns out that in the fourth game of the finals in history, Nowitzki caught a cold before the game and had a high fever of 38 degrees. Under such circumstances, he ignored the dissuasion of the team doctor and insisted on playing sick.
It's just that unlike history, Nowitzki's left finger did not suffer from a torn ligament.
Historically, the Heat took a 2:1 lead and showed arrogance. They didn't think Nowitzki could lead the Mavericks to victory with a fever.
However, Nowitzki was still fighting desperately despite his high fever.
Inspired by this kind of spirit, the Mavericks worked as one, united as one, and clung to the score. At the last moment of the game, Nowitzki broke through and scored a layup under the tough defense of Haslem~www.mtlnovel.com~ The key goal set the tone for the victory of the game.
After the game, Wade and James faked Nowitzki's cough in the player tunnel to mock their opponents in this way. This kind of behavior invisibly stimulated the nerves of the Mavericks. In the next two games, the Mavericks pushed the Heat to the ground The friction finally shattered the dream of the Heat's Big Three to win the championship.
However, the Knicks did not have a situation like the Heat.
The last lore of the Mavericks made everyone in the Knicks suffocate their determination to revenge. They never underestimated the Mavericks from the beginning to the end of this game.
Nowitzki gave the ball to Marion who was open outside.
After Marion got the basketball, he didn't hesitate at all, and shot a three-pointer directly!
In the eyes of Mavericks fans, this is their one chance.
But in the eyes of Knicks players, this is a sign of their defensive success!
