So far in the playoffs, Marion's three-point shooting rate is still only 15%, which was raised when the outside line broke out before.
Historically, Marion's three-point shooting rate this season is 0%, which is 0 if he is not mistaken. He has made 5 three-pointers in the entire playoffs, and none of them made a hit.
Today, the Knicks' strategy is to strangle Nowitzki and empty Marion from the outside.
The result was indeed as expected, Marion did not make a three-pointer.
The moment Lian Dao shot at Marion, he rushed to the basket, predicted the rebound in time, and received the rebound first.
Immediately, a long pass was passed to Holiday, who was about to play.
Easy layup, how could the slow-footed Kidd catch up with the young Holiday.
On the defensive end, as long as the Mavericks are outside shooters, they are strictly guarded.
Tony Allen followed in Jason Terry's footsteps, and even if Chandler set a high screen, the Knicks could use the shortest time to complete the defense again.
In the end, the Mavericks had another chance or Sean Marion.
Marion didn't dare to shoot outside the three-point line this time, so he attacked inside with the ball, but was immediately surrounded by Lian Dao.
Seeing Lian Dao suddenly approaching the defense, in a panic, Marion slipped the basketball in his hand, and Lian Dao suddenly stepped forward to complete the steal.
Immediately, without giving Marion a chance to foul, he directly threw the ball down to the fast-breaking Holiday again.
Holiday scored another easy layup.
Carlisle did not expect that after the substitution, the Mavericks were beaten 6:0 by the opponent.
And the role of Jason Terry, the best sixth man, has not been shown at all.
It's not that Terry doesn't do anything, it's that Tony Allen is close to him, especially Tony Allen doesn't need to invest too much energy on the offensive end, so he can concentrate all his energy on the defensive end.
This made Terry have no good way.
Jason Terry was really worried that Tony Allen would follow him back to the locker room during the break. This time Terry also felt the metamorphosis of Tony Allen's full defense.
In the end, before the end of the first quarter, Lian Dao hit a three-pointer again, helping the team extend its lead to double digits.
In the second quarter of the game, D'Antoni let Lian Dao take a rest first, Lian Dao nodded in agreement, he was not in a hurry to play,
He consumed too much stamina in the first quarter. Even if there is stamina recovery liquid, it will have a greater effect when used near the end of the third quarter. If it is used early at the end of halftime, it will be too wasteful .
In the second quarter, Stoudemire led the bench to fight, and the Mavericks fans already had a bad feeling.
Stoudemire performed very well today.
Lian Dao was not present in the first half of the second quarter, and he also delivered a satisfactory answer sheet. The continuous face-up impact made it difficult for the Mavericks' semi-main lineup. Heywood couldn't keep up with Stoudemire at all. Er's footsteps.
In the first quarter, under the defense of the Knicks, the Mavericks only made one shot from beyond the three-point line.
In the second quarter, without Lian Dao on the court, Carlisle replaced Peja. Under Kidd's organization, the Mavericks' perimeter finally opened up in the second quarter.
However, under the impact of Stoudemire, the situation on the court is still firmly controlled by the Knicks. Lian Dao is not in a hurry to play, and tries to use this precious time to recover his physical fitness.
But the situation changed suddenly. In the seventh minute of the second quarter, Barea, who came off the bench for the Mavericks, made another contribution in this game. He and Peja threw two three-pointers in succession, and the Knicks took the lead on the field. Suddenly it was reduced to only 5 points.
"The Mavericks' bench lineup played very aggressively today. It is said that Dirk played today with an illness, but I did not expect Dirk's behavior to inspire other Mavericks players. The originally weak bench lineup actually played an offense that is not inferior to the Knicks bench."
"For the Knicks, D'Antoni called a timeout. He must be replaced by sickle at this time. Otherwise, the situation will not be so good if the Mavericks have a touch from the outside!"
Lian Dao and Cousins came on, and Stoudemire, who played nearly one and a half quarters, took a rest.
As soon as he played, Lian Dao stepped back and hit a three-pointer under the cover of Cousins' outside line.
"Coach D'Antoni's substitution had an immediate effect. Sickle's three-pointer was so critical. He not only helped the Knicks stop the decline, but also suppressed the Mavericks' counterattack climax!"
Lian Dao, this guy, won't really want to use three points for revenge, right?
On the other hand, the Mavericks, after Lian Dao played, the Knicks re-strengthened their defense, and the fierce confrontation once again made the Mavericks' offense stop fire.
Barea's three-point shot was blocked by Tony Allen, who was referred to the first position, and Peja, who was left on the court because of his good performance just now, only made 1 of 4 shots under the interference of Danny Green.
At the end of the halftime game, the Knicks re-extended their lead to more than double digits.
59:45, the Mavericks trailed the Knicks by 14 points at halftime.
The performance of the Mavericks today, as if nothing happened in the last game, what kind of game should be, or what.
The first half of the game seemed to be to verify what Lian Dao said, "The Mavericks just encountered good luck. The Knicks will not give them this kind of good luck a second time!"
In fact, as Kidd feels, the Knicks have been improving.
The Knicks that the Mavericks are facing now are much better than the Knicks that the Celtics encountered in the semifinals.
If the current Knicks play against the Celtics again in the semifinals, the Celtics will definitely be swept out, and they will not even have a chance to win a game.
After the baptism of the Heat and the Mavericks series, this Knicks team is more excellent in team defense and switching defenses. Otherwise, their defense will not make the Mavericks so passive in this game.
The Knicks have played in the playoffs so far, and they already have the temperament that a championship should have.
Although they lost the last game, the faces of all the Knicks players today did not have the frivolity of the previous two-game winning streak. The painful experience of being killed in the last game made them mature a lot overnight.
Even when Gallinari came off the bench in the second quarter, he no longer had the hippie smile he used to. Although he still couldn't defend his opponent very well, his attitude of actively fighting and blocking positions proved that he wanted to do well. Every defense.
In fact, this is progress, which belongs to the progress after analgesia!
What this team showed today is a serious and serious attitude, and it finally has the taste of a tiger going down the mountain.
This kind of Knicks makes everyone feel terrible. Even in away games, they have not been affected too much. They can always take the initiative on the court and play very aggressively.
[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. 】
In the second half, the Mavericks still struggled on the perimeter, but they had no choice but to put the pressure on Nowitzki, who was still fighting with a fever.
Although Nowitzki was suffering from a high fever, his shooting was still very good. Several shots were double-teamed by Lian Dao and Millsap, or double-teamed by Lian Dao and Stoudemire.
It's a pity that Nowitzki's superb performance still couldn't save the Mavericks.
In the second half, Lian Dao's three-pointer was completely missed.
In particular, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lian Dao directly used the physical recovery liquid to restore his physical fitness to the best state.
Lian Dao didn't feel that using the physical recovery liquid was unfair to the Mavericks, that winning wasn't great enough.
From ancient times to the present, winners and losers have always been winners and losers. History is always written by the winners, and it has always been!
If Mavericks had something like this ~www.mtlnovel.com~ would they refrain from using it? of course not!
Lian Dao now only wants to win the championship first, instead of pursuing the so-called fairness out of sympathy for these old guys.
Is there absolute fairness in this world?
There has never been absolute fairness in competitive sports, only relative fairness.
Every year in the league there will be legions of sympathetic old guys like the Mavericks. Does Lian Dao have to give up the championship every year for this?
From ancient times, it was difficult for the Virgin Mary to achieve great things, and Lian Dao would not be a Virgin Mary!
This is a world where the weak prey on the strong. Once you are not strong enough, you will be shot to death on the beach by your juniors like Kidd and Nowitzki. When you meet someone with bad character, you will be ridiculed.
The blame can only be blamed for Maverick's bad life, they met Lian Dao.
