The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 234 Hot Start!Chicken pecking at each other?

"Shh!"

The crispness of the three-pointer hitting the net was very clear in the entire arena.

The atmosphere at the American Airlines Center was eerily quiet for a moment.

Dallas fans looked up at the big screen above the stadium, and the score on the screen was 7:0.

The Mavericks are the one behind.

What about chopping melons and vegetables?What about an easy win?
The fans only felt that the hamburger popcorn in their hands was no longer fragrant, and the Coke was no longer iced.

In the CCTV studio, the trio was excited about the precise three-pointer of "Slam Dunk King".

"Good shot! Richardson, sure!"

"Look at the Warriors' pick-and-roll, tsk tsk, this opening is really exciting, they played very reasonably!"

"It's a great combination of balls, let's see the replay—"

"After Richardson pretended to be in the corner, the Warriors' tactics started immediately. First, Harrington pulled out a pick-and-roll to stop Terry's first step, and then the dragon stuck him tightly in the corner. , this wave of double blocking is perfect!"

"Harris was still standing next to Xiaolong. He didn't have time to react, and he directly released Richardson with a wide open three-pointer."

"The Golden State Warriors are the first to win, this is the power of the run-and-gun tactics!"

On the court, Zhang Bolong and others were pushing around Richardson to celebrate, and the "little general" also called a timeout with a livid face.

Like Nowitzki, he found himself unprepared for the game.

I thought that relying on the offensive strength of my own team, it would not be a problem to play against an obviously strong offensive and defensive team like the Warriors.

After all, the Warriors give people the impression that they are not good at defense. Even the Grizzlies can score 130 or 140 points on them.

But who would have thought that the Mavericks, whose offensive level and the Suns' bright moment, seemed to be guarded by the Warriors?

"Dirk, for the next attack, you should go to the high position to catch the ball."

Johnson writes and draws with a tactical board.

"Since they are resolutely double-teaming you, then pull their defense to the upper line to provide space for Josh and Devin to break through. The Warriors have no inside defense, and they can't stop us."

After finishing speaking, he thought for a while and added: "If they give up the double-team, then shoot directly and kill them!"

Pause back, and the game continues.

This time, the Mavericks implemented the tactics well, playing fast.

Harris gave full play to his speed advantage. After breaking through Zhang Bolong's defense, he passed the ball skillfully to Howard, who was cutting from the weak side.

Chou Huo's "horseback archery" made a steady hit, breaking the scoring drought for the Mavericks.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Bolong's breakthrough fell into the pocket of the Mavericks double-team. Devin George stole the ball and assisted Terry to hit a mid-range shot.

7:4, the Mavericks stabilized their position.

"Steady and steady, with our strength, it will not be a problem to win the Warriors." The 'little general' cheered himself up silently.

He looked up at Old Nelson, who was facing the old god, and a confident smile appeared on his face, "Teacher, in the face of absolute strength, any tactics are useless."

Looking back, Richardson held the ball at the top of the arc.

Zhang Bolong quickly descended to the 45° angle of the oblique side and paused for a while, and then continued to rush towards the bottom corner by using the change of rhythm.

This meal disrupted Harris' rhythm, and Harrington came out to put him in gear at the same time, and Zhang Bolong took the opportunity to go around the three-point line.

People arrive, balls arrive.

Catch the ball, shoot.

"Dragon's chance, let's see—"

"Beautiful! Xiaolong's signature three-pointer! Just like Li Bai's knight-errant who 'kills a person in ten steps, never stays behind', it is steady, accurate and ruthless!"

"This is also the Warriors' second three-pointer after the opening, 10:2! The Mavericks are really dangerous!"

After hitting a three-pointer, Zhang Bolong didn't celebrate too much, but called for the team to return to defense quickly.

In the NBA arena, let alone 8 points, even an 18-point lead is not considered insurance, let alone the game has just begun.

The speed of Harris and Terry should not be underestimated. The two rushed up and had to deal with it with the mobility of the Warriors.

Sure enough, Terry showed his "jet" side, dribbling quickly to the three-point line, and it was directly thrown by Dirk.

Facing Harrington and Jackson who had just arrived, Nowitzki directly chose to pull up and shoot.

The seven-footer's shot felt extremely silky, and he easily hit his first goal of the game.

After missing the first two singles, Nuo Tianwang is now 3 for 1 from the field.

After scoring, he clenched his fists.

Hope this ball will be the beginning of a good feeling.

It's just that in the following games, Nowitzki still didn't find a good way to attack.

Facing the double defense of Harrington and Jackson, he is "concerned about advancing and retreating". When he breaks in, he is double-teamed, and he shoots from the outside. Harrington's physical fitness can completely interfere with him.

Until the end of the first quarter, Nuo Tianwang barely made two more shots, all of which fell out of the basket.

5 out of 1!

This is a completely unqualified performance for the core of the team and the new MVP who is basically solid.

The Mavericks didn't have any normal players in the first quarter except for Josh Howard.

Devin Harris took advantage of his speed to get a lot of breakthrough opportunities, taking seven shots in a single quarter.

However, Zhang Bolong's extremely aggressive confrontation and the Warriors' inside rotation like an iron bucket also made his shots go too far, and only hit two of them.

However, even if the Mavericks performed poorly, the difference between the two teams did not continue to widen.

After the opening of the heat, the Warriors' feeling began to slip. Although Ellis, who was put on the starting lineup, dared to fight hard, he was inexperienced after all and inevitably had tight hands. He missed a hit in three shots.

Harrington also put most of his energy into the fight with Dirk on the defensive end, and there was little room for him to play offensively.

At the end of the first quarter, at 23:17, the Warriors led by six points in a single quarter, and neither team scored at a normal level.

After the start of the second quarter, the Mavericks' tactics remained unchanged.

After all, this season, they can win most of the games just by taking turns in singles.

The amazing "Little General" at the beginning of his debut seems to have lost the aura of last year's "Ox and Horse Wars". He just emphasized that the Mavericks should play their own style, but he has no good ideas on how to limit the Warriors.

However, the Warriors felt more hip in the second quarter.

Although the comments made by the media and experts do not necessarily understand the game, and many of them are just shit-spraying works just to attract attention, there is more or less reason for it—even if it is fallacious.

Many people who doubt the Warriors and Zhang Bolong believe that once the intensity of the playoffs is reached, shooting or even long-range shots as the main offensive method is destined to be unreliable.

Everyone who has played high-intensity games knows that when a person is under intense confrontation or in a state of tension, it is not easy to control the muscles and complete the usual shots.

And when shooting can't kill, the offensive end can easily be locked up, and then it will be defeated.
