NBA: Start with James Harden

Chapter 089

Looking around, it was full of blue-clad fans.

This is a scene that you can’t see in the regular season, it’s so shocking!!

Li Zhen can’t wait to make an appearance.

At this time, outside the venue of the center of the route.

It was raining lightly in the sky again, and fans without tickets gathered in the square with umbrellas.

There are 8 LED screens around the square, dedicated to these fans to provide live broadcasts!

Heading into the playoffs, basketball has become feverish in Dallas, and even rainy days can’t dampen this enthusiasm!!

Inside the stadium, all the Spurs players came out.

Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Li Zhen saw this troika!

When I saw these three, I knew that this series was very difficult to play.

The playoff appearance ceremony is slightly longer, and the pre-game ceremony is a little more solemn.

After a long time.

The referee took the ball and stood in the middle of the field.

The starters from both sides remained on the field.

Mavericks starters: Kidd, Karon Butler, Marion, Nowitzki, Dampier.

Carlisle fielded regular starters, with Lee Zhen, Terry and Heywood still sitting on the bench.

The starters are also strong, attacking and defending, and Carlisle will not easily break this balance.

Li Zhen returned to his familiar bench position.

Spurs starters: Hill, Ginobili, Jefferson, Duncan, McDyces.

Parker was injured late in the regular season and was reduced to a substitute, and it was George Hill who replaced Parker today.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the game started quickly!

It was the calf who opened the first attack.

Hill dribbled forward.

George Hill is very similar to Li Zhen, he is also a dual-energy guard with outstanding arms, not a real point guard.

Hill can shoot from the spot, has decent athleticism, is tough on defense, and has enough reach to defend a shooting guard!

Hill gives the ball to Ginobili!

As soon as Ginobili got the ball, Duncan quickly put on cover!

Ginobili used Duncan cover to break in directly from the left, Novitsky’s defense, Ginobili leaned on Novitsky to make a big turn, when Novitsky pounced back, Ginobili took the ball and leaned again!!

Nowitzki bumped into Ginobili.

“Beep!!”

After the whistle, Ginobili’s coherent action is not over, and he loses his balance and throws it casually!!

“Ugh!”

2+1。

After the opening, the experienced demon knife gave the calf a dismount, which stopped the cheers at the scene!!

Nowitzki raised his hand a little helplessly, this ball can be blown by the referee or not, but Ginobili plays a little realistic, the action deformation is a little exaggerated, and the referee blows.

Ginobili hit a steady penalty!

3-0, Spurs opened the scoring opener.

There wasn’t any celebratory movement up and down the Spurs, and everyone felt that scoring was just a very normal thing.

Li Zhen kept watching the situation on the field.

Li Zhen did not admire Ginobili’s touching porcelain, he looked at the tactics of the Spurs.

The Spurs’ tactics were holistic, and Popovich used Duncan as the tactical axis for many years.

The breakthrough just now, under the cover of Duncan’s high position, Ginobili can successfully break through, otherwise Ginobili’s speed will be difficult to throw off Kidd.

This is similar to Carlisle’s tactical system around Nowitzki.

It’s just that Novitsky is biased towards the offensive axis, while Duncan is biased towards defensive cover.

The Mavericks favor jumpers that come out of the running position, and the Spurs tend to be biased towards various cuts and misalignments.

This is also the difference in style between the two teams.

Mavericks attack.

Kidd took the ball through halftime and then gave it to Nowitzki, who was high on the left.

Both teams are slow-paced teams with special emphasis on the whole.

Nowitzki did not stop the ball and chose to play the ball to Butler on the right after hitting Duncan with his back two steps.

Butler passed directly to Marion of Neche!

Marion found an open place and scored a layup!!

3 to 2.

Although the spurs are demon, the calves are not bad!

Fans in the Route Arena quickly cheered.

Judging by the opening of the first few minutes.

The two teams competed against positional attacks.

The Spurs relied on Duncan to develop a variety of passing tactics, and Duncan would play from time to time when he encountered mismatches.

The Spurs’ opening feel was good, the Mavericks’ defense was not fully arranged, and the Spurs had a faint advantage.

The turning point between the two sides came when the game reached 7 minutes and 11 seconds.

Ginobili exaggerated and fell to the ground while defending Nowitzki’s block!

Li Zhendu obviously saw that there was an element of acting, but the referee gave Novitsky a cover offensive foul!

King Nuo Tianwang committed two offenses in less than half a festival.

Carlisle can only be exchanged for Shanghai Wood!

After Heywood came on, the Mavericks’ offense stalled.

Duncan defends Heywood more easily than defending Notian, and Duncan also has the energy to assist with the Mavericks’ various cuts and jumpers.

This made the calf extremely uncomfortable.

On the offensive end, Duncan showed his low-post offensive ability.

Neither Heywood nor Dampier could restrain him one-on-one.

The game went on at 3 minutes and 11 seconds.

The score was 22-12, with the Mavericks trailing by 10 points at home and having gone four straight without a point.

Carlisle took advantage of a dead ball and immediately made a substitution.

“Li Zhen, you are on.” Carlisle didn’t hesitate and sent Lee Zhen to replace Kidd, and the Mavericks’ offense was about to open.

Seeing Li Zhen, the fans immediately cheered.

Li Zhen has always been a rhythm changer for the Mavericks in the regular season, and as long as he appears, the momentum of the Mavericks will change!

On the Spurs side, Hill was also replaced by Parker, and Popovich put on the GDP troika.

Lee’s first round after coming up was an attack from the Spurs.

Parker holds the ball at the top of the arc, and Lee Zhen stares at the defense.

Duncan offered cover to Parker, and Li Zhen tried to bypass the block, but was unsuccessful.

Parker’s breakthrough, Heywood’s pace up slowed down, Parker stopped mid-distance!!!

Parker has never been good at the middle distance, but it’s actually much better now than it was at the beginning of his career.

The basketball draws a beautiful arc.

“Ugh!”

24 to 12.

The momentum in the centre of the route has once again quieted down, trailing by 12 points, and the situation at home is a bit bad.

The Spurs still didn’t have any celebrations, and they all continued to press the Mavericks with blank faces.

Li Zhen felt the horror of the Spurs in the playoffs.

The psychological quality of this team is too stable.

Mavericks attack!

Li Zhen dribbled through the half.

Carlisle did not arrange singles tactics for Li Zhen, but still passed cuts.

Karon Butler changed to dribble past Ginobili to the free throw line.

Duncan’s assistance was timely and did not give him room to shoot.

Butler did not dare to pull against Duncan, he immediately gave the ball to Marion!

At the same time, Li Zhen beckons Dampier for cover, and Dampier helps Li Zhen block the fast Parker.

Li Zhen came to Marion’s ball-holding side to find a receiving space, Marion quickly gave the ball to Li Zhen, and then stood up to help Li Zhen block Jefferson, who changed his defense!

Li Zhen got the space to shoot.

Li Zhen did not dribble, but immediately jumped out!

This is not Li Zhen’s usual offensive routine, but it is an open opportunity.

“Ugh!”

Three-point hit!

Li Zhen grasped it.

24 to 15.

Li Zhen did not miss this opportunity.

“Nice block!!”

The Spurs don’t celebrate goals, he celebrates.

Li Zhen and Marion high-fived each other and yelled.

“Good ball, the running position is so beautiful!”
