One Guard

Vol 3 Chapter 729: : Work around or stick to it

Three-pointers, the term now seems to have become the Warriors' patent. After all, no team in the entire league has the ability to use three-pointers that can match the Warriors.

Even if Yiyang cut off the three-pointer title of "Splash Brothers" in the All-Star three-point contest last month, this still remains the same.

However, the Mavericks' accomplishments outside the three-point line this season are actually not weak. It's just that they rely more on the penalty area and mid-range killing. The three-point shot is just an aid.

After DeAndre Jordan made an incredible three-pointer, the Mavericks players seemed to be eager to try.

Thus, as soon as the Mavericks came up for the first offense, Yiyang played a classic pick-and-roll match with Nowitzki.

Yiyang caught the screen and broke through, and attracted the defense of Paul and Griffin by the way. At the moment Griffin was taken away, Yiyang scored the ball to Dirk.

Dirk Nowitzki, his 17.3 points per game this season has undoubtedly dropped him from the ranks of superstars. But if you put him outside the three-point line so recklessly, you will definitely pay the price.

Dirk is like an ancient but precise trebuchet. The arc of his basketball is often very high, but it is always precise!

"A three-pointer in return! Dirk Nowitzki has no softness. Unbelievable, can you believe it? Dirk actually made a three-pointer with DeAndre Jordan on the court. It seems that Dirk's offensive desire is also very high today. Strong!"

"You stick to Dirk, I'll do it!" Paul whispered in Griffin's ear. If it wasn't for Griffin's face, Paul just wanted to swear directly.

Putting such a big three-pointer there, Griffin can actually ignore it.

But in fact, Griffin also had his own ideas. He was afraid that Paul could not prevent Yiyang, so he chose to make up for it. No one knows that Yiyang's passing is so active.

Paul did not expect that the 3-point advantage would be recovered so quickly. The Mavericks, who have always preferred to end offense in the three-second zone and mid-range, chose to fire first outside the three-point line today.

But Paul didn't panic, playing the Mavericks is easier than playing the Warriors. Because of the Warriors' terrifying three-point shooting percentage, you just have to make them play a wave of offensive climax, the game is basically taken away.

But the Mavericks will not, as long as Yiyang is not allowed to fight back continuously, the game will be able to bite to the end.

In the last game, the Lakers came through this way in the first three quarters. Unfortunately, in the last quarter, no one in the Lakers team can resist Yiyang's attack.

But the Clippers are different. The Clippers own Chris Paul.

Steady and steady, this is the Clippers' strategy today. You must not be anxious to play against the Mavericks. Once you become impatient, the rhythm will be brought in by the Mavericks.

But today, the Mavericks defense is more stable than the Clippers. Everyone sticks to their counterpoint, and believes that their teammates can look down on their own people.

Seeing that Paul had no chance, Griffin had to give him another cover. In this attack, Paul's organization is very similar to Yiyang just now.

He attracted the defense by breaking through, but eventually passed the ball to Griffin, who stayed outside the three-point line after the pick-and-roll.

The entire tactic was executed perfectly, and Paul's passing ability was enough to engage Yiyang. The only difference is that Griffin and Nowitzki's three-point shooting ability is not of the same level.

Griffin shot the ball with a wide open three-pointer. This season, Griffin's 40% three-pointer percentage looks pretty bluffing. With a 40% shooting rate from beyond the three-point line, this is the level of a top shooter.

But is Griffin a top shooter? Obviously not. The reason why his three-pointer percentage is so high is because he averaged only 0.4 three-pointers and 0.1 per game. Faced with such a small sample, Griffin's three-point shooting percentage is completely useless.

Just like Jordan, his three-pointers this season is 100%. But you can't just rely on this to say that Jordan is an epoch-making super shooter.

Griffin can make a good three-pointer, but it is extremely unstable. This is what Carlisle gave him.

After grabbing the rebound, Gobert handed the ball to Yiyang. The Clippers retreat quickly, but the Mavericks' offensive rhythm is also not slow. This time, Yiyang directly threw the ball to the right bottom corner. Over there, Iguodala has just taken his place!

Matt Barnes, the "bad guy" who defended Iguodala, forced it up fiercely. But he was very clever, instead of running directly to press tightly, he let Iguodala two steps. In this way, it is avoided that the opponent takes advantage of the opportunity to lean forward to break through.

Seeing that Barnes hadn't posted it, Iguodala made a decisive shot at the bottom corner!

Iguodala paid the price for Barnes's assumptions, and the Mavericks made the second three-pointer. It seems that today, the Clippers can't get through with a three-pointer.

"Matt's defense is too hesitant, it's not his style. I wonder if the Clippers are a little too cautious?" Kenny Smith touched his chin, the offensive Clippers are somewhat Fearful, defensive end is still frightening.

He understands the mood that Paul wants to keep the third place in the West, but sometimes being overly cautious is not a good thing.

6 to 3, so far, all the points of the two sides have been obtained through long shots. It seems that today, the three-pointer is bound to become the key word in this game.

Even though the Mavericks have scored two three-pointers in a row, the Clippers coach Doug Rivers is not panicked.

Iguodala's three-pointer percentage is good, but he averaged only 6.8 shots per game, and Carlisle won't give him too many shots.

The same can be applied to Nowitzki, these guys scored a few three-pointers in a game is a regular performance, there is no need to be nervous. Because the occasional hit a few times will not change the situation of the game.

Shrinking defense, this is what Rivers did deliberately. He believes in data, and he believes in video. The Mavericks can't change their play style overnight. The mid-range and penalty areas are where he needs to defend.

Rivers is now more worried about the Clippers' offense than defense.

The game hit the third minute of the first quarter, and sure enough, the Mavericks did not continue to fire outside the three-point line. The Clippers' offense has gradually found a rhythm, and it looks like this will be a tug of war.

Yiyang's mid-range emergency stop jumper was blocked by Paul from hitting the iron, most of which was due to Barnes's help, which delayed Yiyang's speed.

Fortunately, Nowitzki actively caught the offensive rebound and barely dunked on the spot. Dirk has rarely dunked this season. The fans were very excited to see him dunk with less than 50 centimeters.

But Carlisle off the court shook his head, this time the attack was originally a failure. It seems that today, the Clippers really made a lot of effort in the middle distance and the three-second zone.

It’s not impossible to continue to spend so much with the Clippers, but Carlisle doesn’t want to. The Mavericks can also win two overtime with the Thunder last month, but this is of no benefit to the Mavericks.

To win without making the players consume too much, this is Carlisle's ideal game.

In the first quarter, the two sides played very anxiously. Paul was very well defended by Yiyang, but he used his pass to manage the Clippers' offense in an orderly manner. Yiyang experienced the defensive strength of the Clippers today, especially after they put Matt Barnst in the starting lineup.

The second team of both sides did not have any outstanding performance. Rivers worked **** the Mavericks, and his defensive settings made the Mavericks' favorite offensive methods difficult.

24 to 21, after the end of the first quarter, the Clippers led by 3 points.

Carlisle wasted no time during the inter-festival break. He sat among the players with his small bench, and pulled off the cap of the marker.

"Also, Tony, Vince, Aminu, Dirk, in the second quarter, you start." Carlisle made a temporary change, don't you want to prevent my mid-range and goals? No problem, let you! "We, play a three-pointer tactic!"

Throughout the break, Carlisle wrote and drew on the tactical board. Rivers, he is more like a "spiritual" coach. The tactics are very simple, but it took a lot of time to boost the morale of the team.

He believes that there is nothing to change in tactics. In the case of evenly matched, whoever has the stronger willpower will be able to hold on to the end.

But when the Mavericks lineup came up in the second quarter, Rivers was dumbfounded.

"Is that guy Carlisle crazy? He is giving up rebounds and the penalty area!" Rivers' assistant coach Tyronn Lu said his heart.

Open up the space to create singles opportunities for Yiyang, this is Rivers' speculation. Otherwise, Carlisle has no reason to send such a wonderful lineup.

When Yiyang crossed the midfield line, the other four Mavericks all pulled beyond the three-point line, which fulfilled Rivers' conjecture.

"Don't be kidding, do you want to rely on Paul to win the singles!?" Rivers was a little angry, Carlisle looked down on his head star.

Yiyang forcibly broke through Paul, but Paul naturally did not let Yiyang easily succeed. The physical confrontation between the two was very fierce, but Yiyang still smashed into the three-second zone. Griffin came up to make up the defense, now that Nowitzki has little Jordan to take care of, he can finally rest assured to make up the defense.

As for Aminu's inoperative projection point, Griffin also kept a hand. If Yiyang passes the ball, he will react quickly and make up for it.

But the facts are not as good as Griffin thought. When Yiyang squeezed to the basket and sent the ball out of Griffin's crotch, he had no time to do anything. Griffin thought he would have time to make up for it, but he just thought it was nothing.

Aminu hit a steady three-pointer from the bottom corner, and the three-point line was a vacuum for the Clippers' defense. Do you think that it's not for the Warriors to prevent three-pointers? Rivers, you can try.

In the second attack, Dirk and Yiyang thugs handed in hand. Both Paul and Jordan took a step back, preparing to deal with Yiyang's breakthrough.

But after Yiyang took the basketball from Dirk, he jumped directly outside the three-point line! Although Yiyang's three-point shots per game are not as exaggerated as Curry and Thompson, he is also the champion of the three-point contest anyway.

Yiyang's actions were simply and decisive, and the ball scored cleanly! With just two offenses, the Mavericks went ahead by two points.

"Are they playing three-pointers?" Tyronn Lu looked at Rivers, maybe it's time to change his defensive strategy.

However, Rivers waved his hand. "Unable to change, if you change the defensive strategy, it will happen to Carlisle!"

As a result, the Clippers allowed the Mavericks to score the third three-pointer in the second quarter. This time it was Aminu's pick and roll, and Yiyang continued to break through with cover. Barnes, as always, came over to block Yiyang for Paul, but Yiyang passed the ball to Carter the moment Barnes caught it.

Matt Barnes is definitely a "mad dog" type of player. His defense is fierce and aggressive. The moment Carter received the ball, Barnes actually made it up again.

But Carter still did not hesitate, such a good shooting rhythm, Carter does not want to waste!

The ball on the right side of the basket was thrown outside the three-point line. Carter's decisiveness ~www.novelmtl.com~ made Barnes' interference futile. The Nets once again rolled up the white waves! With three consecutive three-pointers hit, Rivers' defensive tactics were clearly targeted!

Some coaches are good at making plans before the game, while others are good at playing on the spot. There is no doubt that Rivers belongs to the former. Focusing on established plans rather than flexibility is a strength of Rivers and a weakness of Rivers.

He firmly believes in data and video analysis, and he still believes that Carlisle with a small notebook in his hand is just a feint.

But until Yiyang received a point from Nowitzki and hit the Mavericks' fifth three-pointer in the second quarter, Rivers finally couldn't sit still!

"The game was stopped, and the Mavericks even sent the Clippers five three-pointers as soon as they came up! Coach Rivers called a timeout later. Now the Mavericks have started, and the point difference has been widened to double digits!"

From a three-point lead to twelve points behind, the Clippers took less than five minutes. Rivers has been waiting for the Mavericks to make a three-pointer on their own, but they didn't! And it seems that as long as they don't put pressure on them, they can keep going like this!

Yiyang immediately scored 6 points and 3 assists after coming onto the court in the second quarter. All 5 Mavericks three-pointers came from his hands.

Killing the game with a three-pointer is not the Warriors' patent!

Rivers yelled with his thick red neck and asked the players to extend the defense beyond the three-point line. But sometimes, when the change comes too late, nothing can be changed.

"Next, fully defend, let us keep the points difference!" Carlisle smiled, Los Angeles team, maybe there is really a curse that can't beat the Mavericks.
