Basketball: Man in 08, three months left before the Olympics

The second half kicked off and the Mavericks’ roster changed a bit.

Due to the excessive number of fouls committed by the two centers, Diop and Dampier, Carlisle was forced to replace the “big four small” lineup.

Led by Pei Yun and Nowitzki, Terry, Starkhouse and Kidd were outside the three-point line.

At halftime, Coach Carlisle had already given Pei Yun “unlimited firing rights”, and he came this time.

Facing Nash, two meters outside the three-point line, a direct three-point shot.

Hit!

53:57

The Suns attacked, and in the first half, Nash spent more time threading the needle for his teammates, and he didn’t attack much himself.

It was rumored in the rivers and lakes that Nash was “not defensive” and ridiculed his defensive ability.

In fact, Nash has super offensive firepower, but his desire to score on the offensive end is not high, and in his MVP season, he did not even average more than 20 points per game.

But in fact, Nash has a very consistent shooting percentage and is a regular at the 180 club.

Nash dribbled past the front court, and after a signature block with Junior, he shot straight at the three-pointer.

Swish!

Hit!

In this day and age, Nash’s three-point shooting is actually very accurate, basically able to maintain a 42% shooting percentage.

But he just doesn’t shoot much, and in some playoffs, it was D’Antoni who ordered Nash to step up his offense before he could do the main offense.

53:60

The scene rang out with cheers, cheering on their team’s super point guard.

The Mavericks attacked, and Pei Yun felt that he felt coming!

After halftime, don’t cover, face Nash, dribble and step back to shoot three points.

Swish!

Also hit!

56:60

The Suns attacked, and Nash suddenly accelerated to the three-point line with a sharp stop and then leaned back.

Swish!

Also in it!

56:63

The two fought against each other, and shouts of “MVP” began to sound at the scene.

The Mavericks attacked, and Pei Yun made another three-pointer.

Keep the hit!

59:63

After the Suns round, Nash and Smalls made blocks, Nash threw the ball to the basket, and Smalls completed the aerial relay.

59:65

Nash did not continue to compete with Pei Yun, but chose according to the situation on the field, and he did not go up.

The Mavericks attacked, and Pei Yun singled out Nash at the three-point line and stepped back for three points.

Or hit!

62:65

Four consecutive three-pointers in the opening game!

The Suns had to call a timeout.

D’Antoni stood on the sidelines and kept complaining: “Why is luck so good, still in the middle?” ”

This scene made D’Antoni a little unhappy, even though the Suns are an offensive team and don’t care much about defensively.

But if you let someone else shoot three points like this, that’s not a way to do it.

D’Antoni called this timeout just to break Pei Yun’s momentum of shooting three-pointers, and adjust the defense by the way, so that Jason Richardson, who can match Pei Yun in height, weight and speed, defends him.

The pause ended quickly.

The Suns attacked, Nash broke through and passed to Grant Hill, a player hailed as Jordan’s successor at his peak who had a great future.

But injuries destroyed him.

Now, Hill, who is back on the court, has lost the talent he had at his peak, but his offensive tools are still rich and stable.

Facing Terry’s defense, he snapped a jump shot.

62:67

From the second half, both teams found their hands at the same time, with a 100% success rate and a rapid improvement in the score.

This is the offensive level of the top two teams in the league’s offensive efficiency, and the tense and exciting offensive performance makes fans seem addicted.

The Mavericks attacked, and Pei Yun’s defender was replaced by Richardson, who signaled Nowitzki not to block, facing Richardson, after a few crotch dribbling breakthroughs, it was another trademark stepback step for three points.

Swish!

Or hit!

65:67

Five three-pointers have been scored in a row, and on the Mavericks bench, the players are standing up, some teammates are waving towels, others are imitating Pei Yun’s three-point retreat.

On the Suns’ side, D’Antoni clasped his hands in front of his chest, and the expression on his face was helpless.

He was probably thinking, when will Pei Yun’s wave of hands pass?

Is there a need for him to call another timeout?

At the same time, he is also ready to study well, how can Pei Yun’s very large arc step three-point shooting technique be so stable?

The three-point shooters of this era, the technique of three-point projection is still relatively traditional, most three-point shooters are good at receiving and shooting, similar to Peja, Novitsky, Kabonno…

It is the recognized three-point king Ray Allen, and he does not shoot much with the ball.

Not to mention Pei Yun’s kind of ball holding, plus three points with a large retreat.

In the public perception, this kind of retreat greatly affects shooting stability, so techniques like this are not used in this era.

Not to mention Stephen Curry’s three-point shooting that can be shot anywhere, in any position.

On the court, the Suns’ offense is still sharp.

The Mavericks’ four-small lineup is completely unable to prevent the Bully from turning over the inside, and Nash’s assist count is constantly rising.

However, the Mavericks have Pei Yun!

He went on to hit, the sixth three-pointer, the seventh three-pointer!

D’Antoni had to call a timeout to cut off Pei’s momentum.

However, after the timeout, after Pei Yuntou lost two three-pointers, he regained his hand and continued to hit!

Suns fans felt as if the No. 7 on the Mavericks was on the hook, and his step-back three-pointers and quick-shot three-pointers hit no matter what the situation.

This kind of goal, which they think is a fairy ball, almost every one will not be missed.

What is this not an open hanging?

Even in the second half of the third quarter, Pei Yun’s three-point accuracy was no longer so accurate, but he was still able to break through to the inside and use the confrontation to squeeze Richardson to help the team score.

At the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks trailed the Suns by two points at 91-92.

Pei Yun shot 9 of 13 from three-point range in a single quarter and scored 35 points, he set a new NBA single-quarter scoring record!

However, the Suns’ offense in this quarter was equally sharp, with Nash scoring 12 points and 9 assists in a single quarter, and also leading the Suns to 35 points in the quarter.

Still holding a one-point lead over the Mavericks.

During the short intersectional break, Pei Yun was incredibly praised by his teammates.

Terry: “Pei, you are too strong, your three points, directly quieted the scene!” ”

Kidd: “35 points in a single quarter, Bae, you set a record!” ”

Starkhouse: “Pei, you have scored almost 60 points today, and you worked hard in the last quarter to overtake Kobe’s 81 points!” ”

Nowitzki: “yes, go harder, overtake him!” ”

……

Kobe’s single game of 81 points is not the NBA’s single-game scoring record, but except for Chamberlain’s 100 points in a single game in ancient times, Kobe’s scoring record in 06 is the strongest in modern times.

It is also regarded as a god by many fans.

It’s not easy to break his record.

The last time the Mavericks suffered a defeat at the Staples Center, everyone was very upset, and today I saw Pei Yun have such an opportunity, and I was looking forward to him breaking it.

Also found some field for the Mavericks from the side.

To this, Carlisle said: “Go, Pei, go and fight as much as you want, don’t worry about it.” ”

“Okay, then I’ll try it, if I can break it.” Pei Yun smiled confidently.

In the eyes of his teammates, he said that if he can break, he can definitely break.

I don’t know when it started, everyone has an inexplicable sense of trust in Pei Yun!

However, Pei Yun did not appear at the first time, and he played the entire quarter in the third quarter, and chose a temporary break at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Seeing that the Mavericks were being crushed by the Suns in their rotation on the court, he only played with just over 9 minutes left in the game.

After playing, it was a breakthrough dunk.

It instantly ignited the morale of the Mavericks.

Soon, D’Antoni had to switch back to the main player.

Nash, Hill, Richardson, Smalls, O’Neill.

This lineup is the Suns’ current starting lineup.

Since O’Neill the Shark is older and has gained weight, he didn’t have many scenes in the second and third quarters.

The Suns used the Twilight Sharks, focusing more on the start of the first quarter to set the tone for the team.

and in the second half of the fourth quarter, the game was played.

The sun exclusion zone with big sharks and without big sharks is a completely different effect.

At least O’Neill is under the basket, and Pei Yun wants to go to this area to dunk again, but he has to weigh it.

Pei Yun is certainly not an iron-headed baby, and he is on the opposite side of O’Neal, and he began to seek opportunities near the three-point line.

Just cast twice, the feel is not good, hit the iron.

The third time, because he met the conditions for launching a full level [shooting balance], he forcibly hit a three-pointer.

Since then, Pei Yun’s hand has gradually improved, and the Suns, under the leadership of Nash, still maintain the lead of the score.

116:119, 4 minutes left in the game.

In the second half, both teams played a super high level of attacking performance, and with 4 minutes remaining, both scored 60+.

And Pei Yun, his personal score has reached 69 points, 12 points short of Kobe’s 81 points.

He didn’t feel good in the fourth quarter, and his iron and mistake companions made him slow to score and grow.

Fortunately, Novitsky stepped up, and he turned into a steel chariot in the fourth quarter, not only frequently helping the team score to stop the bleeding, but also fighting with Xiaosi and Ao Fat on the inside.

Dampier has already left the pitch six times and Diop has been put on the bench.

The entire Mavericks’ interior line is carried by Novitsky almost alone.

Known as the strongest offensive power forward in history, he is at the basket today, fighting for physical strength and risk of injury, constantly protecting valuable rebounds for the Mavericks, and even preventing Smalls and O’Neal from scoring!

At this moment, when Phoenix fans saw such Novitsky, they were shocked and raised questions about the “mainstream impression” played by the media.

“Look, how hard Dirk Nowitzki fought today, who said he was a soft egg?”

“He’s simply a steel chariot, single-handedly singled out Xiaosi and O’Neill, it’s too tough!”

“I can guarantee that he is definitely not a soft egg, and the Mavericks lost the Finals in ’06, and they all blamed the damn referee.”

“So what about being hacked in ’07?”

“Is that the little general back pot, his coaching ability is too inferior.”

“You look at their new coach, Rick Carlisle, it’s good…”

“The Mavericks have all played inside, there is Novitsky left, they are not easy to win.”

“But this No. 7, Pei Yun, is also too fierce, he has almost 70 points.”

……

On the court, the Suns launched a fast attack, and Nash assisted Richardson to score a dunk.

116:121

Carlisle sat on the sidelines, quietly observing the situation on the field.

He knows that the Mavericks team he is coaching now has a lot of weaknesses on the defensive end.

However, all this is more or less related to Cuban’s plan to play the worth of Dampier and Howard.

Carlisle glanced at the UAE on the bench.

The Dragon Striker, Pei Yun’s partner, has gained less playing time in recent matches, he plays hard, and although he doesn’t have the same passion as Pei Yun, he still has a lot of potential.

At the critical moment, Carlisle called a timeout.

He replaced the veteran Starkhouse, who was somewhat physically unable to keep up.

Nowitzki did his best on both ends of the court in the fourth quarter, and now it’s time for the UAE to come on and take some of the pressure off him.

Before going on the field, Carlisle also specially instructed: “UAE League, your task is to watch the opponent’s Stoudemire, and on the offensive end, block the good guys for Pei Yun!” ”

UAE nodded and came on the field full of confidence.

Pei Yun has not appeared on the field side by side with the UAE League for several games.

Even if some performances were briefly present at the same time because of early rotation, such fragments could not form a good tacit cooperation.

In fact, in private, Pei Yun and the UAE always practice together, and their cooperation has formed a tacit understanding.

Carlisle is well aware of this.

If it weren’t for the “data” of Dampier and Howard, he would have wanted to test the power of the Dragon Nation pair in the NBA.

After the Mavericks had the ball, Pei Yun brought the ball to the front, and the UAE actively ran over to block him.

The little bully Stoudemire against the UAE was almost unstoppable in attack.

But when defending, he seems less concentrated.

Xiaosi did not quickly follow out for delay, which gave Pei Yun enough space to shoot after blocking and dismantling.

The UAE blocked Richardson to death, and Pei Yun almost got a chance to shoot from the open position.

Swish!

He got his hand up and down, and he scored three points.

119:121

Pei Yun’s score reached 72 points, and he once again set a lot of scoring records.

But these records are nothing compared to Kobe’s 81 points.

And Pei Yun is only 9 points away from Kobe’s 81-point record!

The Suns attacked, and Nash and Jr. once again played in the air, but this time, the newly replaced UAE seemed to be prepared, and he broke Nash’s pass out of the line in the air.

For the first time in the game, the cooperation between Nash and Xiaosi was broken.

Pei Yun took the initiative to step forward and give the UAE a high five, and encouraged: “Well done, UAE!” ”

Carlisle sees all this, and he believes that if Cuban can strengthen the team before the trade deadline, then the Dragon Kingdom combination will definitely amaze everyone!
