Nba: Load Doncic Template After Being Banned

This year, the NBA officially reformed the playoffs.

In the past, the first round was only a best-of-five game, and after the first round, it was a best-of-7 game. But this year, the NBA officially implemented reforms and changed the first round to a best-of-7 game.

This will make the first round more intense, and at the same time, it will give those teams in the bottom half more opportunities.

The Mavericks' opponent in the first round is the Portland Trail Blazers, ranked sixth in the West.

The Trail Blazers with 50 wins and 32 losses in the regular season are quite strong!

This Trail Blazers team, led by Legendary veteran Scottie Pippen, has finally developed a considerable combat effectiveness this season. There are many "bad boys" who lack talent but are full of personality.

Finally able to unite as one to win.

The Blazers' offense is not strong, but the defense is very good.

Unlike the Timberwolves' defense, which relies on talent, the Trail Blazers have another style.

Before the start of the playoffs, the Trail Blazers began to release rhetoric.

Bunch Wells even said: "It is obviously the most beneficial for us to play the first round with the Mavericks. Their style of play is as soft as tofu, and we can easily penetrate him!

Although this was trash talk before the game, it was indeed true in some respects.

The Mavericks' style of play is indeed "soft". This softness is mainly reflected in two aspects.

One is that the Mavericks have almost no defense. Bradley on the inside looks quite tall, but he is too thin and lacks confrontation. Those centers who are much shorter than him will lose their position when they collide. Steve Nash on the outside, although he can make excellent contributions on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, he has almost no defensive ability, and he is the kind of bully.

Whether it is Finley or Nowitzki, the defensive ability can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

On the other hand, it comes from the characteristics of the Mavericks' offensive end.

A jump shooting team that relies heavily on shooting, it is difficult to see them going to the area close to the basket to make strong plays throughout the game. In this era, this is a very different style of play.

From these two aspects, the Mavericks are indeed "soft".

However, they have never taken defense and inside offense as their main goals, and the super scoring frenzy of cultivating offense to the extreme is the magic weapon for the Mavericks to win.

Of course, Bunch Wells' self-confidence is not groundless.

Judging from the past two seasons, the Mavericks really belong to the kind of team that is very fierce in the regular season, but always easy to pull the hips in the playoffs.

In this way, they are called "regular season teams".

And the old Nelson's experiment is often ridiculed, and it further proves the wise saying "defense wins the championship" again!

Under such circumstances, the teams in the lower half of the West naturally most hope to encounter the Mavericks.

The Mavericks originally didn't care about these harsh words before the game. After all, their players are not good at verbal wars, or they don't like this method.

So every year, I prepare carefully by myself and don't bother to respond.

However, this year the situation is somewhat different.

The media in Dallas felt that Wang Zhi would be a very individual player, so before the official start of the playoffs, they conducted an interview with Wang Zhi after the Mavericks' training.

When asked about the harsh words of the opponent Blazers, Wang Zhi responded confidently: "Is it because two more games in the first round of the playoffs gave them confidence? I can guarantee that after this round, they Definitely no longer dare to be a sister!"

Although Wang Zhi's harsh words have been very restrained.

But when he said this with a handsome and confident smile, it still made the Dallas fans feel a little excited!

"Wang Zhi is great, we need such confident players."

"Wang Zhi is right, we will teach the ignorant Trail Blazers a hard lesson.

“It's great to have Wang Zhi around!”

Playoff G1 starts in Dallas as scheduled!

Facts have proved that Bunch Wells dared to speak harshly, and he obviously came prepared!

Soon, Wang Zhi and the Mavericks really realized what the intensity of the NBA playoffs is!

The Trail Blazers' starting five, Dale Davis, Bunch Wells, Scottie Pippen, Rasheed Wallace and Derek Anderson, are a bunch of "gangster" types of players who are physically strong and play well. In this way, a strong defensive team known for its stalking and stalking has been built in the West.

Players like the Trail Blazers obviously know how to use the handcheck rule. Under their aggressive defense, Finley and Nash played very uncomfortable.

For a while, the Mavericks' best shooting offense was completely unable to play.

In the first quarter, the two sides played 23:21, and the lead of the Mavericks was very small.

After the second quarter, the Mavericks fell into a slump, and even made frequent mistakes, giving the opponent a chance to counterattack, and scored 19:31 in a single quarter.

The score was opened by the Trail Blazers.

At 42:52 in the half, still trailing by 10 points in their own "devil's home~~ field", the Mavericks' offense seemed to be completely restricted by the Trail Blazers.

This has to make the Dallas fans worry that the Mavericks are really pulling their hips in the playoffs again, and they have to wonder whether the old Nelson's full-scale attack mode can work?

Fortunately, in the second half, Nowitzki and Wang Zhi stepped forward one after another!

Nowitzki, who performed well in the first half, continued in the second half!

He has precise shooting skills, coupled with a height of 213, as long as he shoots, it is difficult for opponents to form restrictions.

And Nowitzki does not need to shake the ball out of position, and can shoot from any place, which determines that the handcheck rule is difficult to restrict him.

On the other hand, Wang Zhi showed his power in the rotation, and the continuous dribbling fakes almost shook the Blazers' defenders, which once ignited the scene.

With Van Exel feeling cold tonight, Wang Zhi stood up decisively, and also used his height and fake moves to shoot consecutive shots from the outside!

The Trail Blazers, without defense and counterattack, are in chaos.

After the Mavericks responded with a 28:12 in the third quarter, they seemed to be crushed by a single quarter.

In the last quarter, the Blazers were never able to catch up with the score.

In the end, the Mavericks beat the Blazers 106:89 at home.

Dirk Nowitzki showed off his power and scored 46 points and 10 rebounds!

Wang Zhi became the second-best player for the Mavericks, scoring 20 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

The two scored 66 points together, even though Nash and Finley played in a downturn, the Mavericks still won the victory without any risk.

After getting off to a good start, the Dallas media wrote a lot about the game and at the same time made a professional summary.

Admittedly, the Mavs did expose a lot of their problems in Game 1.

When facing a brutal defensive team like the Trail Blazers, not being tough enough can easily prevent their offense from being played smoothly.

If the defense is not strong enough, the opponent will seize the opportunity.

Facts have also proved this, the Trail Blazers did not have any strong scorers, but the Mavericks still allowed them to score 31 points in the second quarter, and lost as many as 12 points in a single quarter.

Obviously, the Mavericks do not meet the "defense wins the championship" or "win the post-season cold" this law.

But they are in line with another "playoffs are the stage for superstars"!

Obviously, the star of the Mavericks is Dirk Nowitzki!

Although the German has not yet proved himself in terms of honors, his average of 25.1 points per game in the regular season this season, ranking sixth in the scoring list, is enough to illustrate his strength.

Regardless of the external evaluation, anyway, Dallas fans and the media have regarded him as the city's "superstar".

On the other hand, Wang Zhi's performance also played a crucial role.

When he plays in the transition period, he can not only score in singles as a ball holder, but also do a good job in organizing the team in series.

The most important thing is that when Wang Zhi holds the ball on the outside, because of his very special way of handling the ball, it is difficult for him to be locked by the opponent's defense, so it is difficult to say that it is completely ineffective.

This makes the Mavericks' bench lineup very strong.

If it wasn't for Van Exel's hip stretch today, he scored 0 for 8 and only scored 2 points, the Mavericks' substitutes would be even stronger!

After the game, Wang Zhi was interviewed. He showed a handsome smile again and said: "I said before the game that the Trail Blazers will definitely pay for their arrogance.

Just watch, they won't be arrogant for a few days!"

I have to say, Wang Zhi's interview is really exciting!

Mavericks fans in the field love this!

In contrast, Nowitzki, who scored 46 points in this game, was much more restrained in the interview.

After such a comparison, the Dallas fans suddenly felt: "That guy Wang Zhi is quite domineering, but now he doesn't have enough confidence. When he has the strength of Nowitzki, he will definitely be even more arrogant!"

For the fans of Longguo, watching the first live broadcast of the NBA playoffs this year made them feel complicated.

Brand new, they also watched the playoffs of the Mavericks and witnessed Wang Zhi's performance. Among them, there was a game where Wang Zhi was in full form and scored 17 points in a very short playing time, which was still fresh in their memory.

But now, because of the non-return incident in August last year, when Longguo fans watch it again, the taste is naturally different.

Of course they hoped that Wang Zhi and the Mavericks would win. After all, Wang Zhi was still a player from Longguo, but the enthusiasm for watching the game was not as enthusiastic as before.

"Wang Zhi's performance in this playoffs, compared with his regular season statistics, can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

"But due to the stronger intensity of the playoffs and the various mad dog defenses of the Blazers today, it is already very rare to be able to play at this level."

"Speaking of which, Dirk Nowitzki on the Mavericks is so good, this big man can shoot too much!"

"Well, last year at the Men's Basketball World Cup, he shot our Longguo men's basketball team to death by himself."

Two days later, G2 between the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers started again in Dallas.

In this game, the Trail Blazers obviously learned the lessons of the previous game, readjusted their strategies and tactics, and planned to make a comeback!

As soon as the game started, the Trail Blazers took care of Dirk Nowitzki, who had killed the Quartet in the previous game.

Since Rasheed Wallace can't defend him alone, then go double!

At the same time, on the offensive end, Bunch Wells, who made harsh words before the series, began to show off!

His performance in the first game was mediocre. He scored only 13 points. Today, he started with full firepower, shot from inside and outside, and scored consecutively!

The Mavericks got off to a bad start and fell behind by 10 points at one point.

But things improved with Wang Zhi coming on.

Wang Zhi frequently punished the Blazers' over-the-top defenses with feints, either by shaking them out of the way or by drawing fouls.

Even though this era has ha

The ndcheck rule does not mean that defenders can act recklessly.

The Blazers, the "*~gangsters", don't have a very high team defense discipline in defense, they rely more on talent and enthusiasm, and sometimes they use too much force

, and if the referee blows tight, it will cause consecutive fouls.

And Wang Zhi, who is good at rhythm changes and fake moves, likes to play against such opponents.

The rules of this era are indeed not easy to create fouls, but if the opponent gives a chance, it's another matter!

*****

After Wang Zhi frequently went to the free throw line to score points, the Mavericks finally recovered and recovered the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks at home led by 4 points at 23:19.

Entering the second quarter, Bunch Wells still felt undiminished, scoring 11 points in a single quarter.

However, on the side of the Mavericks, everyone exerted their strength. With the help of the home court, the Mavericks gained the advantage in this quarter.

At halftime, the Mavericks at home led by 6 points 48:42.

Although leading, it has to be said that the Blazers' tenacious defense still made the Mavericks play very uncomfortable.

Nowitzki was limited to only 12 points in the half, while Wang Zhi, who was in the rotation lineup, still played steadily and scored the Mavericks' highest 13 points in the half.

In the third quarter, the situation changed suddenly, and the Blazers suddenly found their form. Although they were hit by the Mavericks on the defensive end, they performed better on the offensive end.

In this quarter, the Blazers scored 29 points in a single quarter, and the Mavericks scored 24 points.

In this way, after three quarters, the Mavericks only scored points.

Entering the last quarter, a situation that made the Mavericks fans extremely worried happened.

The bald "bandit" Bunch Wells of the Trail Blazers played crazy tonight. He scored 27 points in the first three quarters, and he felt so hot!

(Wang Lihao) In the last quarter, this bad boy who looks a little fat and a little bit strong is even more unstoppable!

Whether it's breaking through the frame or shooting from mid-to-long distance, he almost hits every shot.

Even if the Mavericks get Adrian Griffin, the best defender on the perimeter, there is no way to limit him.

The score was once opened by the Trail Blazers.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Wang Zhi stepped forward and hit three consecutive three-pointers, turning the momentum around in one fell swoop!

In this section of the game, Bunch Wells scored 18 points in a single quarter, and he almost exploded the Mavericks with a single blow.

It's a pity that his teammates are not good enough. Except for him, the rest of the teammates only scored 10 points.

Wang Zhi made 3 of 4 three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 11 points.

The difference is that his teammates are playing well.

Nowitzki 6 points, Finley 8 points, Nash 4 points.

The Mavericks played with multiple players and scored 31 points in a single quarter.

In the end, the Mavericks beat the Trail Blazers 103:99 at home, and the series came to 2:0.

In the whole game, the Blazers titan Bunch Wells was brave enough to score 45 points, but it fell short. It was comparable to Dirk Nowitzki's extreme individual performance in the previous game, and it was not as good as it was.

In exchange for a victory for the Blazers.

For the Mavericks, Wang Zhi had 28 points and 25 points, Finley had 17 points, and Nash had 13 points and 12 assists.

It can be said that all members have played steadily, this is a team victory!

But there is no doubt that Wang Zhi, the second-year teenager, deserves a lot of credit.

It was at the critical moment of the fourth quarter that when facing the Blazers' aggressive defense, he made a step-back three-pointer, a Tushi cold shot, and a calm and calm one that swayed the defenders away.

The last hollow three-pointer helped the Mavericks pull back from the cliff of losing.

However, even though the Mavericks won two consecutive victories, the old coach Nelson still warned the players: "Don't let your guard down, the Blazers are not easy to fight.

In the away game, we will be tested more!".
