Chapter 135 Who defends who grandson asks for support)(2/2)
There is no way, the Mavericks' total salary is more than 80 million, and the Eagles' total salary is less than 40 million, even if they are more cost-effective, they can't compare!
However, although the Hawks' bench lineup is at a disadvantage on paper, the Mavericks' bench lineup has a flaw. Van Horn is too soft and Diop is too slow. The former is not very strong in confrontation, has average defensive awareness, and cannot stand up to others.
The latter's only remaining skill is "top man", which is very useful against O'Neal, whose mobility has declined as he ages, but is much less effective against Yao Ming or Duncan, who are both low-post killers but have better skills.
Joe Johnson and Mickey Moore are playing a pick-and-roll. If Diop doesn't come out, who can Josh Howard guard? The other person will have room to shoot. Diop comes out and Van Horn can't withstand the impact of Josh Smith in the paint!
The Eagles' move perfectly hit the Mavericks' pain points. Facing the Mavericks' offense, the Eagles adopted the strategy of shrinking the defense and strengthening interior defense to limit Harris and Howard's breakthroughs and singles. The Mavericks' shooting ability
Nowitzki and Terry, the two strongest players, are sitting off the court, and their ability to open up space is greatly reduced. Harris and Howard hold the ball and attack, and the other one can be left open on the outside.
Diop is also an offensive black hole. If his teammates create easy scoring opportunities for him, the Eagles will not hesitate to "cut the shark" and send him to the free throw line!
"..." Ke Yan suppressed the Mavericks through his own tactical adjustments. Under this situation, Avery Johnson fell into a state of confusion and could not come up with a plan to deal with it for a while.
After an 11:3 attack wave, the Hawks took the lead (49:43). Avery Johnson finally called a timeout, then made adjustments and replaced Nowitzki on the court again.
"You think Nowitzki is great!"
"Sorry! Nowitzki is really amazing!"
This is a conversation that Ke Yan is thinking about in his mind. In this game, he tried to let Josh Smith move forward to limit Nowitzki's reception, tried to let Paul speed up the rhythm of the game, and tried to take advantage of Nowitzki's defense.
To target the Mavericks and the Warriors' black-eight game strategy, Ke Yan tried his best to transplant everything that could be transplanted, but he still couldn't target the opponent. Even using a double-team tactic against Nowitzki was useless. The Mavericks could suddenly shoot.
There are too many people!
Ke Yanxin made a move and replaced Paul and David Lee. He couldn't help but continue to poke at each other with the Mavericks!
The Mavericks attacked, David Lee and Josh Smith flanked Nowitzki, Josh Howard received the ball from the three-point line, took a step inside and hit a mid-range shot. (49:45)
Paul held the ball and played a pick-and-roll with David Lee. The latter found an opportunity to play big and small, but he couldn't move Stackhouse. He turned around and was interfered with for a layup. Barnes cruised to the basket and forced his way behind Josh Howard.
Take away the rebound and make a tip-in! (51:45)
Nowitzki appeared on the stage, and the Mavericks' offense had a backbone. The Hawks did not double-team. Nowitzki played Josh Smith, held the ball in singles, turned around and shot, and scored consecutively on catch-and-roll jumpers after the pick-and-roll; the Eagles double-teamed, and Nowitzki played Josh Smith.
Wisky started passing the ball, and other teammates could also hit the ball. When Terry returned to the court, the Eagles' defense was even more concerned about one thing and the other!
At halftime, the Hawks trailed the Mavericks by 5 points 68:73 at home, and Nowitzki single-handedly brought the situation back!
Duncan and Nowitzki, these two guys are really capable of attacking tough situations!
During the halftime break, Ke Yan rearranged the team's speed in transition between offense and defense in the locker room.
"When it's time to flank Nowitzki, resolutely flank him. The last priority of the defense rotation is given to Josh Howard. If Nowitzki points to Dampier inside, you can choose a foul tactic to send him to the free throw line!" Ke Yan emphasized.
The originator of the shark tactic was Nelson, who was the head coach of the Mavericks at the time. Whether you discuss it in terms of fatalistic "tit for tat", or whether Ke Yan, as Nelson's spiritual disciple, used the "shark tactic" to deal with the Mavericks.
Nothing but reasonable!
"Josh, when you face the defender after the pick-and-roll, you must play inside. Jason Terry and Devin Harris are thin and weak, so they will suffer a lot in the confrontation; Adrian Griffin is much shorter than you, so your advantage is
Obviously, we must take advantage of it! Dampier is a big foul player, if we get rid of him, we will have an even greater advantage!"
Ke Yan's layout clearly pointed out the Mavericks' weaknesses. The players recognized this and believed that if they "play according to the leader's tactics and fight hard", their energy will be restored.
