109. The Last Quarter Broke Out, And The Mavericks Reversed The Spurs!
Manu Ginobili stood on the spot with a dazed face, watching Wang Zhi throw the ball in without any shooting fakes, he was very surprised.
"I'll go, kid, aren't you afraid that I'll cover him? Why didn't you pretend this time? Is my defense not realistic enough? Is there really a flaw?"
Ginobili, the self-proclaimed "Actor King", is very confident in his fake moves.
Whether it's a fake change of direction for a breakthrough, a fake pass, or even a flop, he does it very realistically.
This time, a feint attack did not intimidate the opponent at all, which made him very puzzled.
"Hmph, normal players will definitely be afraid, this kid is just buying iron!"
Of course he doesn't know that Wang Zhi has the characteristic of seeing through all fake moves.
Wang Zhi scored 8 points in a row, and the point difference was quickly narrowed. At this time, Bruce Bowen, the Spurs' outside defensive gate, came to Ginobili's side and said to him: "Manu, let me guard him! "
Bowen is known as a defensive expert, and he has a lot of experience in defending outside scorers!
Originally Ginobili was very unconvinced and wanted to meet Wang Zhi again, but when he thought of the importance of this match, he nodded and said, "I leave it to you!"
The Spurs attacked, and they failed to score several times in a row. This time, Parker finally made a breakthrough and turned around to complete a layup and scored 2 points.
But to stabilize the advantage, or to open up the score, we need to do better on the defensive end!
In the past four defensive rounds, the Spurs have all ended in failure.
Wang Zhi scored four consecutive rounds, and his running without the ball seemed to be a sharp knife, sharply cutting the Spurs' defensive system.
Now, Bruce Bowen is going to capture this sharp blade with his own hands!
Mavericks attack, Nash dribbles upfield, Wang Zhi has Bruce Bowen in front of him, and everyone knows what that means!
The Spurs' defense is getting serious!
I started to pay attention to Wang Zhi, a second-year player.
Bruce Bowen doesn't look like the type of player who is particularly aggressive on defense, but when Wang Zhi starts to run off the ball, he feels the pressure right away!
Bruce Bowen not only sticks close to Wang Zhi, but also "tracks" him with one hand. In this defense, the handcheck rule is brought into full play.
This is something Ginobili lacks on defense.
Wang Zhi only had a premonition that if the old tricks were repeated, the situation would definitely be a little bad.
But teammate Dirk Nowitzki's off-ball screen has come, and Wang Zhi started to run at 220.
However, just as Wang Zhi passed Dirk Nowitzki, the referee's whistle sounded!
Beep!
Bruce Bowen is lying on the ground, the referee calls Dirk Nowitzki for an off screen foul!
Although Dirk Nowitzki went forward and said something to the referee, it would not affect the penalty. Bruce Bowen, who was pulled up by his teammates, smiled lightly.
Obviously, this is what he is good at!
Bruce Bowen is indeed not a fierce perimeter defender. He doesn't defend with enthusiasm and talent like Kobe, nor does he use focus to defend like Christie.
The things he relies on are somewhat sideways, or in other words, "heretical ways"!
Just like the current technique that specializes in creating offensive fouls by opponents.
The slow-motion replay of the big screen at the scene showed that Bruce Bowen moved ahead of time before Dirk Nowitzki was about to reach the cover area, and then after colliding with Dirk Nowitzki, he made a somewhat "exaggerated" direct collapsed.
So what Dirk Nowitzki and the referee are saying is not that there is no problem with their position, but that the opponent is completely acting and diving!
But obviously, this won't help.
Bruce Bowen's fall is indeed somewhat exaggerated, but his move to grab a position in advance is full of defensive experience.
As for Wang Zhi, he can predict Bowen's action of grabbing a position in advance, but Bowen is looking for his teammates, not himself.
In this way, Yiping was resolved by Bowen, a defensive problem that Ginobili could not solve.
The Spurs fans at the scene gave Bowen warm cheers for this defense.
The Mavericks' offensive momentum was interrupted. When it came to the Spurs round, Duncan started to play a pick-and-roll with Parker!
Parker, who found his touch in the last offense, made an emergency stop jumper after using Duncan's pick-and-roll, and hit it again!
The Spurs scored 4 points in a row, and the point difference that was just caught up by the Mavericks was pulled back a little.
The Mavericks attacked, Nash dribbled the ball up the frontcourt, and Dirk Nowitzki planned to come over to cover for Wang Zhi without the ball. Although there was a mistake in the last round, it cannot be concluded that their offensive routine cannot be played because of this.
This time, Dirk Nowitzki learned a lesson, and when stepping forward to screen without the ball, he clearly explained his position and did not give Bowen any chance to take advantage of the loopholes.
Wang Zhi finally passed the screen smoothly. However, when Bruce Bowen passed the screen, he slid past Nowitzki's body like a loach.
Because the Mavericks and the Spurs often play against each other, Dirk Nowitzki certainly knows the characteristics of this guy Bruce Bowen, so in this kind of cover, he doesn't care at all.
move.
As long as there is a tendency to use body movement to catch Bowen, that guy will definitely fall out again.
After that, it depends on how the referee decides...
This is the home court of the Spurs, so it is obviously not cost-effective to do so.
However, if nothing is done, the off-ball screen will be poor.
Indeed, the screen was largely useless, and Bruce Bowen quickly entangled Wang Zhi, which left him with no room to catch the ball and make a shot.
From this point of view, the Mavericks' strategy failed this time...
More importantly, most of the offensive time has been consumed.
However, there is more to the Mavericks than just Wang Zhi!
In addition to Wang Zhi, they also have Dirk Nowitzki, Michael Finley and Steve Nash. Strong team.
Just because of a failed movement without the ball, it won't bother them!
Seeing this, Steve Nash directly dropped the ball and received a reverse dribble to break through Parker, came to the basket and made a quick layup to attract the defense, and then passed to Dirk Nowitzki on the other side, who Catch the ball and hit the board easily!
Every team has its defensive strengths!
Even a team with a well-balanced defense like the Spurs is no exception. When their perimeter defensive gatekeeper Bruce Bowen went to mark Wang Zhi and achieved results, he had to face a problem, that is, for other The defense of scoring points will be reduced.
Although Parker and Ginobili's defense is not weak, they are definitely not at Bowen's level!
With four offensive threat points on the field, the Mavericks' attack has become quite threatening. Although the shooting percentage is only average, they are finally back on track.
Coupled with the fact that the Spurs' offensive efficiency was also declining, the Mavericks took advantage of the last remaining time to slowly recover the points that had fallen before.
In this quarter, the Mavericks played 30:29, Wang Zhi scored 11 points in a single quarter, becoming the player with the most points in the Mavericks!
In this way, with the 9 points in the first half, Wang Zhi scored 20 points after three quarters.
After three quarters, the Mavericks were 87:95, still 8 points behind.
This point difference is not that big, especially in the situation where the two teams are attacking aggressively today, for the Mavericks, there is still a chance!
Although the outside world is generally not optimistic that the Mavericks will have a chance to beat the Spurs because of the Mavericks' poor defense, they are confident.
Especially the head coach of the old Nelson, this Mavericks was created by him!
This idea of "just attack, don't defend" is also his original team-building philosophy.
And Old Nelson's experiment is getting closer and closer to success. There is no doubt that in the West, the Lakers, Spurs and Kings are Old Nelson's ultimate goals!
Winning the championship is to prove to the world that offense can also reach the top.
But as an experimenter, what he needs is the process!
Get rid of the king and lift his spirits!
But if they can beat the Spurs, it will be the biggest achievement.
Because the Spurs' defensive level is the highest among these teams.
Whether the sharpest spear can pierce the strongest shield depends on this round of the series!
Soon, the final game begins!
Old Nelson (aeac) didn't plan to let Wang Zhi rest, the rotation time, let him play with Van Exel.
Fortunately, today's Van Exel is no longer a nerve knife, he has also transformed into a sharp blade, and he is full of hands, scoring crazy points in a row as soon as he comes on the court!
Three-pointers, 2+1, and even scored 3+1!
Van Exel, who scored 10 points in a row in 2 minutes, stopped the Spurs directly.
But it wasn't over yet. Next, Wang Zhi directly took over the scoring baton, and within a minute, he scored 6 points in a row.
The Spurs were beaten 16:4. Not only did the 8-point lead disappear, but they were even overtaken by four points.
The entire arena was extremely silent, and the helpless Popovich had to call a timeout again, and changed back to the main lineup in advance.
The Mavericks fans who watched the game live on the big screen at the American Airlines Center in Dallas were so excited!
"Our offensive frenzy is coming, just play like this, we can win!"
"This is the characteristic of Mavericks, a wave of flow!"
"Hahaha, kill the Spurs, we're going to the finals, we're going to win the championship!"
Indeed, although the entire league is not optimistic about the Mavericks, because they are contrary to common sense!
They don't defend, they only play offense. Judging from past experience, there is no way to succeed in such a game.
However, only those Mavericks fans who really love the Mavericks know how terrifying the home team's "crazy wave" is!
Among the Mavericks players, Dirk Nowitzki, Michael Finley, Steve Nash, and Van Exel on the bench are all very good at mid-range and long-range shooting.
Although they are in different positions, they all have one characteristic, that is, the touch is coming, and they can't be blocked, and they can often hit consecutive unreasonable shots.
If a person plays this effect, then the offense is useless.
But if two people, or even three people enter this state, then a super attack frenzy will strike!
Last season, the Mavericks often played 35+ or even 40+ offensive frenzy in a single quarter!
This season, Wang Zhi has to be added, so the Mavericks' offensive ceiling is even higher!
Of course, this extremely hot feeling is not something you can have. From the perspective of probability, it is very "rare"
Otherwise, Van Exel couldn't just be a player averaging 12 points per game.
Although Rare, when it came, it was overwhelming and unstoppable!
obviously
, this is the best part of Old Nelson's lineup!
Infinite explosive power!
Although the seven-game four-win system of the playoff series, the volatility of this competition system is not large, and it is a competition system that needs to be stable to win.
You can win a game by bursting out, but you can't burst out every game.
But in fact, the old Nelson had already solved the situation of not being stable enough.
The record of 60 wins and 22 losses in the regular season is the best proof.
Yes, as long as the team's offense is stabilized at a decent height, and the top teams play normally, and they don't lose too much, that's fine.
Because of this, once a certain star breaks out in a certain quarter, it will break the balance and thus have a chance to win!
Tonight's game seems to be like this!
The normal performance of the Mavericks does not seem to be the opponent of the Spurs, and the Mavericks were suppressed throughout the first half.
In the third quarter, the Mavericks played a good performance, but the overall still lags behind the Spurs.
It seems that they are indeed "one move away", and if they continue to play like this, they will definitely lose.
And, luckily, old Nelson got what he wanted to wait for!
Van Exel finally exploded!
As the saying goes, "raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while", Van Exel, who has a high salary, played very unsatisfactory in the first two rounds of the series, and even some extreme Mavericks fans shouted that the team should give up on him.
But in these three minutes, his value is fully reflected!
After the Spurs suspended substitutions, the Mavericks also took advantage of the opportunity to replace the main lineup.
The final showdown between the two sides!
After switching to the main lineup, the performance of the Spurs on the field immediately took on a new look. Their rhythmic half-court offense played vigorously. Attack after attack.
However, although the Mavericks couldn't prevent the Spurs' offense, their offense was also opened up at this time!
Old Nelson boldly used people again at the last moment, instead of replacing Wang Zhi and Van Exel, he took Dirk Nowitzki, Michael Finley and Steve Nash, and let Nowitzki play center to counter Bit Tim Duncan.
Although Nowitzki struggled to defend Duncan, on the offensive end, the Mavericks became very threatening.
All five points have a super long range and a strong attack threat, plus the feel is just right, even the solid defensive system of the Spurs is hard to defend against.
Long shots, sudden points, layups, screen catches and shots...
The Mavericks use a variety of scoring methods to score, and Steve Nash's offensive organization ability is undoubtedly prominent.
After a fierce game, the Mavericks finally had the last laugh.
117:114
The Mavericks won the game on the road and got off to a good start in the Western Conference Finals.
In the whole game, Dirk Nowitzki scored 32 points and 15 rebounds for the Mavericks, Wang Zhi scored 28 points, Finley scored 17 points, Nash scored 16 points and 7 assists, and Van Exel also scored 16 points Income.
For the Spurs, Tim Duncan scored a game-high 42 points, plus 15 rebounds and 8 assists. The rest of the players, Parker 18 points, Bowen 13 points
, Manu Ginobili 12 points.
It can be said that this is a team victory for the Mavericks. Especially in the second half, they finally played the ideal offensive frenzy, while the Spurs lost power in the last quarter. In the entire fourth quarter, the Spurs only got 20 points and lost the game at the last minute.
To some extent, this can be regarded as a moderate upset!
The championship favorites lost to the weak defensive Mavericks at home?
Originally, this round of competition with distinct strengths and weaknesses has also become a bit confusing at this time.
And Wang Zhi's brilliant performance of 28 points made him a hot topic among fans again!.
