Chapter 97

Pepsi Cola center.

Today is the first game of the second round between the Mavericks and nuggets.

However, before the opening, Dallas coach Carlisle and attack coach Solano are now two people, because of a dispute.

It's not that Solano is disrespectful to Carlisle. After all, Carlisle is the head coach. The reason for their dispute is whether Wang Dachun plays as a starter?

Dampier plays a very important role in the attack tactics designed by Solano. If Dampier doesn't play, Nuggets will put all the defensive pressure on Nowitzki.

Wang Dachun's defense really has no problem. But you can't just defend without attacking. Once targeted by the Nuggets. The difference is easy to pull apart.

Carlisle does not agree with Solano. But Dampier's offensive position in Mavericks tactics is really important.

But he has other considerations as well. What he needs is Wang Dachun's defense to limit the Nuggets' attack from inside and Kenyon Martin.

These two interior lines belong to the "beast type" interior line. It's not the traditional way to play inside. More is through the movement war, forcibly attacks the forbidden area to dunk to score.

If there is only one nei, he believes Dampier can handle it. But add a Kenyon Martin. Dampier can't stand it.

Only by sending Wang Dachun on the court can we limit the scoring of these two players in the interior.

The two argued for a long time, until the game was about to start, and finally decided to send Dampier to play first. If they really can't keep the inside line, then send Wang Dachun to play.

The starting lineup of the two teams.

The Mavericks sent out Jason Kidd, josepharia, Josh Howard, Dirk Nowitzki and Eric Dampier.

The Nuggets sent out Chauncey Billups. Dundee Jones. Carmelo Anthony. Martin, Kenya. Nei Hilario.

In the first quarter, just as Carlisle had expected, there was no way for Dampier to limit the score of the two men in the tunneling team.

At the same time, Dampier can't open the situation on the attack, which also restricts Nowitzki's attack.

Carlisle did not hesitate, in the fourth minute of the first quarter, directly replaced Dampier and Wang Dachun.

Now the score is 10-16. The Mavericks are six points behind.

Inside and Kenyon Martin see Wang Dachun on the stage, two people in the heart secretly scold a way.

"Why did you send this guy up so quickly?"

The reason why they attacked the inside so fast just now. In fact, it is considering the restrictions on them after Wang Dachun came on the stage.

Both of them have been a little bit psychologically shadowed by Wang Dachun's defense on the field.

The two teams fought four times throughout the season. From Game 1. They never took advantage of Wang Dachun.

Especially Kenyon Martin. He was humiliated by Wang Dachun. The area of psychological shadow is larger.

The game goes on, the Nuggets attack.

Billups will take the ball across the front court, continue to carry out the previous tactics, after passing the ball to Kenyon Martin. Let him with the inside in the inside to eat Nowitzki.

The first basketball to Kenyon Martin, not that he is today's main attack point, but today Cameron's hand has not been opened, in the outside line played two iron, did not take the initiative to the ball.

And Kenyon Martin and inside two people in the interior cooperation, the success rate is very high, so continue to let two people attack the interior.

Kenyon Martin has just received the basketball and is preparing to cooperate with the internal and external players according to the previous tactics.

At this time, Wang Dachun took the initiative to come forward and exchange defense with Nowitzki. He's defending Kenyon Martin.

Kenyon looked at Wang Dachun's personal defense. It's kind of like swearing.

"This guy comes to defend me, do I play or not?"

After a little tangle, he passed the ball back to Billups.

This made Billups stunned. Kenyon Martin always likes to fight for the right of the ball in the team. Today, he took the initiative to give the ball to him, but he could return it.

Billups passed the ball to Nene again, and Nowitzki was defending Nene. Nowitzki although the tonnage is very large, but there is still a certain gap in strength with the inside.

Neinei chiseled Nowitzki twice. Push Nowitzki open, turn around and get ready to snap.

However, as soon as he took off, he saw Wang Dachun coming.

He was so scared that he had already stretched out in the air. He forced him to change his posture in the air and threw the basketball out, but he didn't dare to buckle it down.

Outside Billups, however, almost missed the eccentric return pass.

Billups saw that the attack time was coming, so he couldn't organize the attack any more, so he had to force the ball out. There was no accident that the ball struck.

The rebounds were taken off by Wang Dachun and passed to Kidd.

The Nuggets' players retreated quickly and the Mavericks failed to make a fast break. We can only fight positional warfare.

Back from defense. While the Mavericks are not in full position. Billups asked Kenyon Martin and Nei."What the hell are you two doing? Why not play according to tactics? "

Kenyon Martin and Nei replied in unison.

"Fear of being covered!"

Billups

He just recalled that the two inside lines of his team had never taken advantage of Wang Dachun.

After Wang Dachun came on the court, the Mavericks' inside line was well protected. Kenyon Martin and inside two people want to score in the inside line is very difficult.

But there's no way to help Nowitzki on offense. When the Mavericks attack, the Nuggets only need one person to guard Wang Dachun, so Wang Dachun can hardly have the chance to score.

And another inside line goes after Nowitzki. Let Nowitzki's shot space has been compressed, hit rate is also greatly reduced.

Wang Dachun's appearance made it difficult for the Nuggets to score in the penalty area. At the same time, it also limits the score of his team's inside line.

We can only rely on the score of the outside line to stabilize the score.

With the progress of the game, Nuggets coach George Carr also caught Wang Dachun's weakness, gave up the attack from the inside line, and concentrated all the power in the hands of Carmelo Anthony and Billups.

And the two feel more and more hot fighting, especially Carmelo Anthony. Josh Howard can't limit his scoring at all.

Anthony relies on his own strength to score constantly, and Billups is very clever. Only in the distance shot, to attract Wang Dachun's defense.

If Wang dares to take a step out of the penalty area, the basketball will immediately pass to his team's two inside lines to let them score.

At the end of the first half, the score of the two teams was 54-43. The Mavericks are 11 points behind.

In the second half, coach Carlisle didn't let Wang Dachun play again in order to score.

He knows that Wang Dachun has done well on the field, but what the team needs now is attack to level the score.

However, it is a pity that the Mavericks did not catch up with the score until the end of the game. In the end, they lost the first game of the second round 104-95.

Wang Dachun scored four points in 18 minutes. 14 rebounds, three blocks and two assists.

The weak score on the field also makes Wang Dachun want to get offensive ability as soon as possible!
