89. Wang Zhi Played So-So In The First Round
Nelson Sr.'s warning is very forward-looking.
For the Mavericks, going to a team like the Trail Blazers to play away games will become very difficult!
In fact, the American Airlines Center, home of the Mavericks this season, has the reputation of "the home of the devil" in the league. Throughout the regular season, the Mavericks lost a total of 22 games, but only lost 4 games at home.
It has to be said that playing at home is a great addition to the Mavericks.
Regardless of whether the players are more adapted to the basket here, the shooting percentage will be higher.
And it doesn't matter if the Mavericks' players prefer a blast-filled home court.
In short, on the other hand, when this team plays away games, the effect is often much worse than when it is at home.
And although the Mavericks won the first two games of this round of playoffs, it was not easy to win!
In the first game in Portland, the Trail Blazers changed their thinking again. They began to adopt a tougher defensive strategy against the Mavericks' ball handler Steve Nash, giving various physical confrontations and interference.
So that Nash was very difficult to play in the first quarter, and only got 0 points and 2 assists.
Fortunately, other players of the Mavericks played normally. Nowitzki scored 5 points, Finley scored 3 points, Wang Zhi scored 5 points, and Najera, who came off the bench, scored 6 points efficiently.
After the first quarter, the Mavericks were 3 points behind their opponents at 23:26, and the point difference was not big.
Entering the second quarter, Nash is still watched dead!
Swallowed eggs again in a single quarter, which made Nash scoreless in the first half of the game. In the past, this phenomenon was almost difficult to see.
But in this quarter, Dirk Nowitzki once again showed his prowess, scoring 17 points in a single quarter, and Wang Zhi also scored 5 points. Under the leadership of the two, the Mavericks beat the Trail Blazers by 29: twenty three
At the end of halftime, the Mavericks in the away game took a 52:49 lead over their opponents.
For the Mavericks, leading at halftime on the road, it seems that the game is expected to be won.
However, in the playoffs, no one knows what will happen!
The Blazers seem to be completely firm in their belief in pinching Steve Nash today!
Nash was completely choked to death in the first half, so that he could do nothing in the first half of the game. As soon as the second half started, Nash was put on defense again.
During a round of scrambling, Nash accidentally bruised his right finger and had to go off the court for treatment. After this end, he never came back in this game.
The Mavericks seem to have been greatly affected, while the Blazers are getting harder and harder.
In the third quarter, the Mavericks completely lost their form. Wang Zhi made 1 of 4 shots in a single quarter and scored 4 points. Nowitzki made 2 of 6 shots and also scored 4 points.
In addition to his two points, plus Adrian Griffin's 2 points, it is already all the Mavericks' 640 points in the third quarter.
10 points for a single quarter! Only 10 points for a single quarter!
The Mavericks had a nightmarish quarter!
In addition to the low shooting percentage and few points, the Mavericks also had 5 turnovers in this quarter!
The Trail Blazers seized this opportunity and scored 33 points in a single quarter, which reversed the momentum of Bihei.
After three quarters, the Mavericks fell behind by 20 points at 62:82.
At this point in the game, the players of the Mavericks just realized how difficult the Blazers' away game is!
Their mad dog-like defensive biting made the Mavericks pitchers very uncomfortable. The Blazers players' unusually bold defensive actions are always between fouls and reasonable handcheck rules.
In the case of Nash's accidental injury, the Mavericks' offense was paralyzed!
This is the scene that old Nelson was worried about!
It is not easy to chase 20 points in a single quarter. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Wang Zhi led a substitute lineup and played against the Blazers for a while. Wang Zhi scored 4 points in a row, but the point difference did not show signs of closing.
Old Nelson saw that there was no hope of reversing the game, so he decisively gave up the game with 9 minutes left in the game.
He didn't play in the main lineup anymore, and then used garbage time to train in the playoffs.
This kind of phenomenon is not common at all, but in the team coached by the old Nelson, it is not a problem at all.
In fact, old Nelson had his own ideas. The Mavericks were underprepared for this game, and the entire scene was suppressed by the opponent. It was meaningless for the players to continue to fight for this unlikely comeback.
It's better to give up this game directly, avoid the main players from fouling because of fighting on the field, and focus on the next game.
In the end, the Mavericks lost the game by a big score of 79:98 in the away game, and the total score of the series came to 2:1
In this game, only 2 of the Mavericks scored in double figures.
They are Nowitzki's 26 points and Wang Zhi's 18 points.
This is a typical Mavericks-style rout. In previous playoffs, they often lost like this. Even in some away games in the regular season, they lost games like this against weaker teams in the league.
Nash's halftime injury looked like perhaps the biggest reason for the Mavericks' loss.
But in fact, the low hit rate and many mistakes are the culprits.
Throughout the entire game, the Mavericks only shot 33% from the field and 25% from three, which is fatal for a shooting team!
The cause of this fatal factor is precisely that the Mavericks failed to adapt to the Blazers' mad dog-style oppressive defense.
The only good news is that Steve Nash's finger contusion is not serious. In fact, he can finish the game with the injury, but it will have a big impact on shooting, but Nelson does not allow him to do so.
As soon as the game was over, the media's opinion of the Mavericks began to turn negative again. They believed that the Mavericks would follow in the footsteps of the playoffs again, and they were very likely to lose to the Trail Blazers in the first round. under the people.
But Mavericks coach Nelson Sr. is in no hurry.
In his opinion, playing the Blazers is just not easy to play, not impossible to win.
Two days later, the series G4 still started in Portland!
In the first quarter, Nash was still being taken care of. He made 1 of 4 shots in a single quarter and scored points.
But today's Nash has undergone tremendous changes. His possession time has decreased and his speed has increased.
The Mavericks have changed from the old style of Nash leading the offense with the ball, and started the whole team conduction!
This change has received very good results, the Mavericks' offense was activated as soon as the game started!
Nowitzki scored 6 points on 3 of 6 shots!
Due to Nowitzki's huge offensive containment, LaFrentz scored 19 points in the first quarter.
Plus Mavericks captain Finley scored 7 points on 3 of 4 shots.
The entire Mavericks team can be said to have played with all their members and played their due offensive level!
The teammates all felt online. In this case, even Wang Zhi had no chance to make a shot. He made 1 of 2 shots in a single quarter and only scored 2 points.
In the first quarter, the Mavericks established an 8-point lead at 30:22!
This performance is completely different from the previous one!
The Blazers' defensive strength has not weakened. Their defense against the Mavericks' pitchers is still in place, but the Mavericks' shooting is also very unreasonable!
In fact, the handcheck rule is only a huge defensive threat to outside attackers who shoot with the ball.
For players like the Mavericks, once the feel comes, this rule will not have that much impact on them.
Nowitzki is too tall, and the average outside defender can't interfere with him at all.
Finley took the ball and made a jumper without any fancy dribbling.
So the Blazers worked hard for a long time, and only Steve Nash was locked up.
However, in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers' bench lineup suddenly showed strength!
Ruben Patterson on the outside and Arvedas Sabonis on the inside have played efficient offenses, one inside and one outside, and the inside should cooperate with the outside!
During the rotation period, the two of them scored 12 points in 5 of 7, and 414 scored 8 points!
For the Mavericks, Wang Zhi and Van Exel fought together, and their performance was not bad, but it was still a lot worse.
Wang Zhi scored 6 points with 3 of 7 shots, and Van Exel scored 4 points with 4 free throws.
In the second quarter, it was the Mavericks' bench that lost a lot of points.
Fortunately, after the main lineup came back, the Mavericks blew the horn of counterattack again!
Dirk Nowitzki once again educated the inside defender of the Trail Blazers. He felt hot and shot without misses. He made 4 of 4 in a single quarter, including 2 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. 12 points, directly beat Rasheed Wallace and Dale Davis without temper.
In this way, the Mavericks scored 34:39 in a single quarter, although they still lost by 5 points because of the huge gap played by the substitute lineup.
But at the end of the first half (aefj), the Mavericks lead their opponents 64:61!
Same as the previous game, it was also leading by 3 points at halftime, but Old Nelson was in a much better mood!
Same lead score, why?
Because they led by 3 points in the previous game, the overall score of the Mavericks was not high.
But this time, both teams scored high, which means that the rhythm of the game has entered the Mavericks side!
In this NBA league, playing against each other, the Mavericks are not afraid of any team.
What they are afraid of is those strong defensive teams, and today, the Blazers' defense is obviously not playing well.
Of course, the game is far from over, the Trail Blazers still have the confidence to kill the Mavericks!
In the wild cheers of the fans, the Trail Blazers made a comeback in the second half after some tactical adjustments!
Their forced defense in the second half was more aggressive, limiting Finley and Nash to death.
If Nowitzki can't defend, he can't defend, let him score 8 points in a single quarter, so what?
In this quarter, the Trail Blazers finally gained something. Under the leadership of Damon Stoudemire, they beat the Mavericks by 4 points in a single quarter!
After three quarters, the Mavericks trailed by 1 point again!
Looking at this situation, it seems that the Mavericks are going to follow in the footsteps of another game?
Played well in the first half, but pulled your hips in the second half?
Dirk Nowitzki refuses that to happen this time!
Entering the final quarter, after a short break, the hot German chariot will go into battle tonight!
He is 213 tall, but has the special characteristics of an outside shooter's range, which makes it very difficult for the Trail Blazers to defend.
Use outside players to defend, the height is too short, Nowitzki shot directly!
Let's use the inside players to defend. The mobility is too poor. If you save it, you will be broken by Nowitzki. And the most important thing is that the insiders of the Blazers are not as high as Nowitzki. They face straight jump shots.
Tonight's Dirk Nowitzki, the feeling is simply overwhelming. Once again, he made 6 of 6 shots in a single quarter and 3 of 3 three-pointers.
In this way, Nowitzki scored 16 points in a single quarter, and finally led the Mavericks to a 31:18, securing the victory in one fell swoop!
In the end, the Mavericks
Winning the opponent 115:103 in the away game, although it is a big victory in terms of score, it is not easy to win.
Dirk Nowitzki scored 42 crazy points and LaFrentz also scored 20 points. In this game, the Mavericks can be said to have blown up the Trail Blazers inside.
But very strange.
Two inside players blasted their opponents with mid-range and long-range shots?! In this era, this way of playing is really unimaginable.
Wang Zhi felt so-so in this game. Although he had 18 shots, he only hit 7 times and scored 14 points.
After the two away games, the series score came to 3:1, and the trend gradually became clear.
In the next game, the coach will return to the American Airlines Center, the "devil's home court" of the Mavericks. The Trail Blazers seem to be in bad luck.
And it is true!
After the series reached G5, although the Trail Blazers played a last-ditch momentum, everyone scrambled to be the first to fight this game!
The Portland gangsters actually put together a six-man double figure in Dallas. If this situation were left elsewhere, there is a high probability that they would have won the game.
But the American Airlines Center, home of the Mavericks, is called "the devil's home", and that's not just talk.
After returning to the home court, the Mavericks seem to have found the touch!
An unrestricted Nowitzki is already a headache for the Blazers. In this game, Nowitzki is still unstoppable, scoring 31 points and 11 rebounds!
And Wang Zhi, who had been sluggish for two consecutive games, returned to the home court, and finally played an efficient game performance under the cheers of the fans. He made 10 of 15 shots and 3 of 5 three-pointers.
, 3 of 4 free throws, scored the team's second-highest 26 points.
In addition, even though he was still restricted by key points, Finley scored 21 points by scoring 9 of 19.
Nash was 4 of 14, scoring 14 points and 8 assists.
The three chariots and the magical boy Wang Zhi played together. In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Trail Blazers 107:95 at home, thus advancing to the second round with a total score of 4:1.
wheel.
For Wang Zhi, this is the first time he has completed a round of an NBA playoff series with a relatively high tactical status.
Although he also participated in two rounds of playoffs last season, almost all of them participated as fringe players.
Now, after winning the Trail Blazers, I can only say that it is okay and so-so for the summary of my performance this round.
The playoffs are indeed more difficult than the regular season. Wang Zhi encountered many difficulties, but he can overcome them!
Long Country fans watched the entire Mavericks playoffs, and their opinions varied.
"Wang Zhi's performance is quite ups and downs. There are a few games where he always hits the iron, and his performance is not bad in just two games, but in general, it's not bad."
"Dirk Nowitzki is a monster. He has the size of a center, but he plays like a three-point shooter?! The most important thing is that the Blazers have nothing to do with him.
"Well, it would be great if Dayao could also make it to the playoffs. Although Wang Zhi's performance was not bad, but because of that incident, I always feel a bit offended.
"Is this okay? The performance in the playoffs is close to the regular season. Looking at the defensive strength of the Blazers, the performance shows that Wang Zhi's psychological quality is already very strong. Compared with
Nash, this is a proper playoff star level. "
"Nash was taken care of by the opponent, but in fact, the victory still depends on Nowitzki! #
Domestic fans are arguing endlessly, and there are still praises and criticisms for the performance of Zhuzhi.
I believe that if Dayao plays at this level in the playoffs, he must have been blown to the sky!
As for the Basketball Association, the big leaders looked at Wang Zhi's report card of 19 points and 5 assists per game in the series, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Wang Zhi's performance is still so-so, not bad, no
But because it is not too strong, we will send two people to meet him when the time comes. "
