Carlisle immediately made adjustments after the timeout, replaced Claude and allowed Marion to reappear.

During the suspension, he also specifically told Marion to target the opposite No. 28.

Two consecutive three-pointers, he can't make it like this again.

Carlisle is a very good coach. His on-the-spot response may not be the fastest one in NBA, but he definitely has the ability to change.

In this period of NBA, three-pointers have never become so important.

Relatively young coaches like Carlisle, as well as other coaches working on the front line of the league, have begun to realize the significance of long-distance shooting techniques to tactics.

Space is the eternal theme of tactics on the basketball court.

Whether it is breakthrough, pass, back-run, or empty cut, the ultimate meaning is to find room for players to take action.

If you have space, you have a high hit rate, you have an easy layup, and you have everything in the offense.

And what about the three-pointer?

When the opponent has a high-shot three-point shooter standing outside, you have to find a player to stare at him.

Even if he does nothing, it is equivalent to destroying one of your rotation points.

If you insist on rotation and not being able to guard, the punishment of three-pointers in that round will undoubtedly be quite heavy.

Carlisle deeply understood this point. When he was making tactical preparations before the game, he carefully evaluated the Lakers' three-point threat.

The conclusion is that the Lakers' three-pointer threat is not very high.

So on the field, the Mavericks even conduct joint defense.

Just like the 2011 Western Conference Semi-Finals, the Mavericks, who seemed to be athletic, locked the Lakers' outside offense with joint defense.

Because the Lakers' shooter just can't hit three-pointers in a row.

In the end, they swept the defending champion 4:0.

This year, the Lakers' three-pointers were even worse.

Although Nash had a good three-pointer, he was not a fixed-point pitcher.

Judging from past experience, if the team relies on Nash to score, then it will most likely lose.

Needless to say, Ci Shiping missed two three-pointers outside.

As for Kobe, he seemed to give up his three-point shooting and concentrate on making the ball.

This is how Kobe likes to go to extremes sometimes.

If others criticize him for not passing the ball, he can pass the ball wildly without taking a single quarter.

Look, I can pass the ball.

Once there was no effect, he began to commit to himself.

A 34-year-old is still so immature.

As for Howard in the inside, to be honest, any coach with a good level in the league can see that Howard's low-post offense cannot kill anyone.

The reason why the Magic were powerful back then was Howard's defense and their three-point shooter group.

Moreover, Howard looks like his low post is even less powerful this year. In fact, his singles at low posts are a kind of harm to the team's offensive tactics.

Anyway, Carlisle felt that he had calculated everything.

This Lakers looks strong on the surface, but their lineup and style of play do not fit the trend of modern basketball.

Moreover, their lineup is too old, and their defense is really...

Nowadays, you can't defend against pick-and-rolls, but you have the nerve to defend?

But as soon as this 28th came on the court, it seemed that the Lakers' problems were solved in a short time!?

He has three points and looks good in defense.

Carlisle doesn't believe that this kid can still be so magical later.

The suspension ended soon and both sides returned to the stadium.

Li Liang was still on the court, Kobe, Nash and Howard were all back.

Gasol left the court to rest, and Ci Shiping was still sitting on the bench.

Brown wanted to see how the effect was with Howard, Li Liang, Kobe, Nash and Jordan Hill.

The starting lineup is too old, and it may be beneficial to the team to let Hill and Li Liang two young and tall players on the court.

The Mavericks also made lineup adjustments.

Most of the starter came back, leaving veteran Carter on the court.

The Mavericks' offensive round was still initiated from the pick-and-roll from the outside.

Since winning the championship in 2011, the Mavericks' offense has basically been a pick-and-roll starting style.

Nowitzki's tall and thick body is a good barrier.

At the same time, Nowitzki has a huge offensive threat, and the opponent will almost inevitably have a defensive gap after the pick-and-roll.

Nowitzki is not here today, and the pick-and-roll participant becomes Brand.

The old captain Brand fell a lot after leaving the Clippers.

After being bought out by 76ers, the Mavericks bid for Brand.

In the first game of the regular season, he started as a power forward in the replacement of Nowitzki.

Height is a flaw of Brand, he is only about 2.03 meters.

But his arm span was terrible, reaching 226!

This arm span is longer than Yao Ming, who is 226 tall.

Therefore, there are two long-armed monsters in the Mavericks formation, Brand and Marion.

This is definitely a challenge for Li Liang.

After pick-and-roll, Brand chose to cut in.

Today he didn't feel very good, and he didn't hit a few attempts from outside jump shots.

But he played very hard, rushed in from the offense, and got rebounds from the defensive position.

The old players' attitude on the court is still very good, no problem.

As soon as he got in, Jordan Hill followed in.

Li Liang is flanking against Marion, and he knows that Marion's empty cut is very powerful.

I have to say that these guys from NBA are all weird geniuses.

Marion's figure is an alien among ordinary people, and in the basketball circle it is a natural material for playing basketball.

Li Liang followed Marion across the bottom line, and the Lakers' middle lane had already opened.

Jordan Hill knew about his defenseman, but he didn't delay the ball holder.

Collins has already dribbled to the three-second zone, which is the most dangerous position.

Without saying a word, Li Liang threw away Marion and went to the basket to block Collins.

"Come on! Keep up!"

Li Liang yelled twice, saying this to Nash.

Nash is really old and his defense is a little unable to keep up.

Of course, he didn't seem to be able to keep up when he was young.

Seeing that Collins was double-teamed, he immediately passed the ball to the wing, and Marion received the ball.

Li Liang immediately gave up Collins and went to re-defend Marion.

Marion's ball has already made a chance at the bottom corner on the left.

He could have made a three-pointer in his weird shooting posture.

But he hesitated that three-pointers were not his strength.

As he grows older in these two seasons, his legs are declining, and his three-point shooting is getting fewer and fewer.

In addition, Li Liang came back soon and Marion did not shoot.

He swung a fake shot and made a strong breakthrough from Li Liang.

Li Liang didn't have time to get out of his body, and collided with Marion, and was uttered a blocking foul by the referee.

This is Li Liang's first foul in the NBA arena.

The referee for the law enforcement today is Scott Foster, a white referee with a greasy hair and looking thin and sinister.

Although this lord is not as famous as Bavita, Javi, and Crawford, he is not very famous among fans.

It is generally not a good reputation for referees to have a reputation among fans.
