222. The Psychological Shadow of German Tanks

Sun Ce has always felt that the Lakers' starting lineup is invincible in the league now, but seeing the Mavericks' starting lineup...it doesn't seem to be much worse.

Kidd A+, Josh Howard A, Sean Marion A-, Dirk Nowitzki S, Eric Dampier C+.

Four defensive masters paired with Nowitzki. Nowitzki has good enough tonnage and mobility. It is still okay to defend against centers and power forwards who don't shoot. C+ level defense is not a black hole, barely, young In those years, there were still a few blocks and a few steals every year.

But with such a lineup... Sun Ce couldn't understand it. How did he get beaten by the Nuggets last season? Sun Ce also watched a game between the Mavericks and the Nuggets during the playoffs last year. He really played according to the rhythm. Under the control of the rhythm of Billups, Anthony beat the Mavericks to death. Even Billups Kidd is still there, and the decline cannot be reversed.

Then the Mavericks' lineup must be experienced and capable, and there is Jason Terry, the best sixth man of last season, on the bench!

It is really a puzzling thing.

Just when Sun Ce was confused, the referee signaled the others to leave the field and the game was about to start.

Today's game is the only national live broadcast of the Grizzlies originally scheduled for December, and the game will be broadcast live by Time Warner Cable Sports.

For the Grizzlies, Battier came, and Anthony Parker naturally returned to the bench. The two well-known veterans gave way to each other, and finally Battier accepted the starting position as if embarrassed.

Conley, Battier, Gay, Randolph, Gasol Jr. made their debut.

Sun Ce compared the opponent's lineup, and his side is really similar to the opponent's!

The power forward is in charge of singles, the point guard is the person who controls the thunder and lightning, the forward and the guard are two defensive masters, and the center is also mainly defensive...

At 5:30, the referee blew the whistle to start the game on time, and Gasol won the jump ball on the head of the old Dampier!

Randolph fell to the low post on the first attack, and went to the edge of the paint to squeeze Nowitzki for the ball.

Battier went to the bottom corner on the same side to respond, Gasol Jr. mentioned a step outside the free throw line to open up space, Gay went to the other side of the bottom line in the middle distance, and Conley lobbed the ball to Randolph.

Randolph hit Nowitzki, relaxed and happy, turned around and laid up, and after the miss, he grabbed the offensive rebound and put it in the basket. After the miss, Randolph ran over Nowitzki to get the offensive rebound,

With a trembling hand, I finally entered...

Dampier can't stop this hob meat even if he comes in! It's too slippery, and the anticipation of rebounds...enough to make one against two!

Randolph scored 2 points and 2 rebounds in one round!

Seeing this scene, Sun Ce felt envious...

Offensive and defensive transition, the Mavericks attack.

The Grizzlies retreated very quickly and did not give Marion and Josh Howard a chance to counterattack from the wings and Kidd to respond with a long pass.

However, the Mavericks did not play as anxiously as last season. The Mavericks were completely played by the Nuggets in the playoffs last season. It has been slowly changing for more than a year. At this stage, the Mavericks control the rhythm better than before.

After Randolph retreated back from the defense, he saw Nowitzki stop in the middle distance when he reached the frontcourt. Just as he was about to post it, Battier patted Randolph and pointed to Marion in the bottom corner. Randolph I didn't expect Shane Battier to guard Nowitzki, but he still wanted to listen to Battier's command. In the summer nine years ago, I dare not forget the kindness of a meal, especially Randolph, who was born in a slum neighborhood. of.

Moreover, Marion used to play power forward, and the two have faced each other many times, and there is no problem, especially now that Marion is not as fast as he was at his peak.

Even if the defense is changed, there is no problem for the Grizzlies. Just treat Marion as a power forward and Nowitzki as a small forward. There is still some defense that should be there.

Kidd advanced to the frontcourt, and he could tell at a glance that the young Grizzlies' defense was really good. He could only use his strongest point to dig out the threat like the Grizzlies did just now, and then he could play a team. attack.

Kidd signaled Nowitzki to receive the ball, Nowitzki stuck Battier and received Kidd's pass.

But...it didn't go as smoothly as expected, Nowitzki's defense against Battier seemed...he didn't want to have too much contact!

Nowitzki turned around and stepped back and shot a jumper...

"Kang..."

Iron!

Terribly crooked!

Little Gasol stuck Dampier to accept the rebound!

Sun Ce felt weird when he saw Battier defend Nowitzki, and it was even weirder when he saw Novitz's shot selection!

Considering that Nowitzki may be second only to Kevin Garnett and Stoudemire's breakthrough ability at the power forward position, Nowitzki did not choose to make a breakthrough when facing Battier, who was much thinner than him. The golden rooster didn't even make an independent jumper, and it couldn't get rid of Battier's defense and threw it directly!

Moreover, Sun Ce also saw Kidd's astonished expression, apparently he did not expect Nowitzki to play so unreliably.

When it came to the Grizzlies offense, Gasol Jr. caught the ball and missed a shot this time.

However, when the Mavericks were attacking, Nowitzki still missed the second single... Battier's defense against Nowitzki was very good at the beginning! Better than expected!

...

The offensive efficiency of the Grizzlies' starting lineup is indeed not good, but the Mavericks' offensive play was also very poor at the beginning. The main reason was that it was beyond Kidd's expectations at the beginning. Open the situation!

After a few rounds, the Mavericks had only Josh Howard who made a tip-up and scored the only sports game goal, and Dirk Nowitzki caused Battier to foul and made 2 free throws. To 4 points!

Nowitzki can't play a threat, and Kidd can't organize an offense! And the counterattack can't come out! If Marion was three years younger, he could still play counterattacks, but Marion is now a pure 3D player, except for defense and open three-pointers, it really doesn't have much effect!

After four minutes, the Grizzlies led 9-4 by 5 points, and the Mavericks called a timeout!

Sun Ce finally understood why the coaching staff said in the team meeting that their starting lineup was more advantageous, because the opponent seemed to overthrow all the previous tactics. A rebuilding team!

And the key is not that the system and tactics are being rebuilt, but Nowitzki. It seems that the players on the Mavericks side did not expect him to play so badly. Within minutes, the opponent didn't play tactics at all!

And about this... Sun Ce guessed... Nowitzki seems to have a psychological shadow on this kind of forward with wingspan and fast-moving defensive players!
