Chapter 271: The Pacers of Defense Recovery
"Aisu.com" access address
On the evening of the month, the American Airlines Center Stadium.
Since 2018, this is the home court of the Dallas Mavericks.
When the Mavericks choose their true son, the American Airlines Center can always be filled with all kinds of spectators, and they all come for one person.
Dirk Nowitzki, before every home game, he would keep jumping around Lg like a track and field athlete to stretch his lower limbs.
Since the Pacers selected Xie Hou in 999, the pulse of the times has been beating quietly.
Xie Hou has influenced the rankings of many players and has also rewritten the fate of many people.
The Mavericks are a team that can barely be safe. After careful construction by head coach Don Nelson, they have gradually become strong troops in the West, and their strength is hard to underestimate.
With Nowitzki as the core, Michael Finley of the 95th generation as the auxiliary, Josh Howard of the O3 generation as the filling, Earl Earl Watson as the motivation, a long-term contract for the offseason, which is very unworthy to people's attention, signed Kwame Brown, the three treasures of O's high school.
Affected by Xie Hou, there have been many changes in the draft of the year O year.
Brown plunged into the Clippers' arms, a free and easy team. He played a certain level of strength and proved that he was able to survive in the league. Unfortunately, the team's expectations for him before the draft were far from what the team expected of him.
Last season, he averaged 4 points and 7 rebounds per game and became a restricted free agent in the offseason. He was not the target the Mavericks wanted, but their target was Tyson Chandler of the Bulls. As a result, the Bulls decisively matched the Mavericks' offer; he pursued Danpier, and Danpier accepted the Knicks, who had higher quotations and more attractive team markets.
So, Brown and Eddie Curry were the only choices before them.
They need an inside player who helps Dirk defend, so it is wise to abandon Curry and pursue Brown.
They paid Brown a maximum salary higher than his value, and if the Clippers chose to match, they would have nothing to do. However, the Clippers did not want to pay Brown a maximum salary, and the Dallas happily took Brown home.
Brown's offense is overrated. After all, in a bad team like the Clippers, if someone can't make any data, it only means that he is too bad.
Brown is in a relaxed environment and has no pressure to achieve results. He beats and leads the team to lose, and averages 472 blocks per game with a shooting percentage of 46%. His offense is unreliable, and all teams have a consensus on this, but his defense is good, with a pick-and-roll and rebounds, although he is almost there, but with King No, this is not a problem.
Nowitzki's defense has always been criticized, and few people notice that the defensive rebounds caught every hundred rounds are only o.o fewer than Jabbar in Tiangou.
Of course, being able to grab defensive rebounds does not mean that defense is good, otherwise Kevin Love is one of the best defensive power forwards in history.
The Mavericks are in a fast momentum and are currently ranked third in the West, second only to the Spurs and the Suns.
The Pacers will inevitably have a hard battle tonight. Before the game, ESPN experts and commentators voted 9 votes in the vote of "who wins, who loses".
The only person who supports the Pacers to win is Mike Bryn.
Brown jumped to the start of the ball for the Mavericks, and as the live commentator Beth Watts said, it was a good start—for the Mavericks.
At the beginning, the Mavericks opened clearly and let Josh Howard sit in a low position and wait.
Also called Howard, Howard's low-post skills are better than those of the Bulls.
Unfortunately, his weight is only 94 kg, so it is difficult to push away the O2 kg Xie Hou.
Xie Hou's single-defense movements at low positions are very standard. The complete European defense is to stick to you by relying on your height and weight. This kind of defense is not afraid of you being stubborn, but you are afraid of playing Olajuwon's footwork.
Howard chose to force it, so Xie Hou's defense was easy. Just hold it tightly. What's more, the word "death" cannot be used to hit Howard's back, but it seems to be disrespectful to him in such a struggle. If this is better, it is said that his back hit is very hard, which forced Xie Hou to focus on defense. Anyway, he is very focused on everyone's defense.
Howard's back hit made Xie Hou hard to defend himself, turned around and shot, and his hands looked stiff, and he didn't look like he could enter.
The same happened. Xie Hou saw his ball fly to the basket and roll out.
He was at the basket and caught it, and the Pacers preferred counterattack rhythm.
Xie Hou counterattacked very quickly, and the Mavericks' retreat was commendable.
Every team will pay attention to retreating when playing games with Pacers. Xie Hou has the magician's kind of magician who does not retreat in time or who retreats "only" two or three people, he will not stop to fight a positional battle, but will rely on his body advantage to dribble in and rush in to do the overlord's hard bow.
Some people say that if you rely so much on your body to play, you will not be able to play until you are 30 years old.
The problem is that even if his height and wingspan is 30 years old, his weight and strength will get better and better. After accumulating game experience, the counterattack that forced to tear apart the front will only become smoother and smoother.
Xie Hou easily broke Watson's defense. It was right that this guy didn't intercept him. With his figure, if he dared to approach Xie Hou, he would definitely be knocked away.
Xie Hou grabbed the ball and rushed into the basket, about to dunk, but unexpectedly, a black King Kong flew out from the right. He looked at it sideways - it was Kwame Brown!
He seemed to be trying to prove that Mark Cuban did not give him a salary of 50,000 yuan per year in vain. He obediently became the defensive tool of King Nuo Tian, and followed the outsiders back to the backcourt, seriously interfering with Xie Hou's counterattack.
Xie Hou didn't expect him to appear, and the backhand pull rod failed.
Watson picked up the floor and threw it to Nowitzki in the frontcourt. The German tank roared and made a three-pointer from the outside.

Xie Hou had to say to Brown: "Defense is good."
"Thank you for the compliment." Brown smiled shyly, "I will continue to work hard."
He actually looked proud? Xie Hou looked straight at him and confirmed that this was a person who needed to be locked up.
Brown's strength is definitely underestimated. Last season, he was in a bad team. His dazzling performance on the defensive end was affected by the team and was not valued.
As long as he is not allowed to touch the ball, he can be considered excellent in terms of defense, assisted defense, pick-and-roll, cover, and every item.
Although he was only the Mavericks' third choice at first, with him this season, Nowitzki was caught on the defensive end and stepped on him a lot less often.
Brown averaged 5 rebounds per game. The data of steals in the hat may not show how powerful he is. Only in the game can he know his importance to Dallas.
In this regard, Xie Hou felt that Nowitzki Brown's combination was better than Toronto's slutty double slutty.1
1: The two slutty guys are the name of Xie Hou for the inside combination of O'Neal and Kirilenko. The two sluts who have not worked hard and have no talent are together, and they are perfect match.
Speaking of defense, we must talk about Kirilenko who came back tonight.
In the past few rounds, both sides fought and there was nothing Russian.
After more than ten seconds, Kirilianko played a role. Even if he didn't play for so long, he could make his teammates remember his goodness once he could use his defense.
He first defended Nowitzki's catch, which made Watson unable to find a suitable catch angle.
At the same time, he forced Finley to leave his original tactical position with his arm span.
These performances cannot be reflected by data, but the impact on the team's defensive layout is extremely important.
Finley is an underrated offensive player. He performed well this season. Only the right three-point line belongs to his shooting cold zone, while other places are hot zones and yellow zones.
Kirilianko just forced him to the cold zone.
Xie Hou pressed Watson to pass the ball to Finley again, and Papalucas made a desperate point.
In a blink of an eye, Xie Hou gave up Watson and formed a friendly double-team between China and Greece.
The consequence of China-Greece friendship is that the person who is double-teamed cannot feel any kindness. Finley has no room to get rid of the ball and suddenly drops the ball.
Once again, Xie Hou seized the opportunity to counterattack.
This time, he will not be affected by anyone.
Xie Houquan counterattacked too quickly, and his talent made him shine in the frontcourt.

"Andre, I haven't played a game for more than a month, so it doesn't seem to have a big impact on you." Xie Hou said from afar.
Kirilianko's expression was not easy at all. In his first game of return, he had to defend the most offensive power forward in history, and no one could laugh.
Xie Hou just wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but his Russian brother had a dull expression, just like a vegetative person, without any response at all.
It's boring. King Arthur thought.
Kirilenko believed that he could not defend Nowitzki, who got the ball, so he had to work hard to prevent the ball from being caught.
His approach was to use his arm span to cover Nowitzki's receiving position, and at the same time he gestured to Xie Houkui, asking him to block other pass lines.
Watson couldn't pass the ball, so he had to let Nowitzki come out to pick-and-roll.
Nowitzki's shooting technique allowed him to disassemble many tricks after he was stuck. He could pull the three-point line, pull the mid-range shot across, and cut inside and go down. Kirilenko was considered to be defensive, which affected Watson's breakthrough. He had not given him a chance to finish the shot. This was simply a textbook for preventing pick-and-roll.
Xie Hou's defense was passed by Watson with a pick-and-roll, and rushed into the basket, forcing Jeff Foster's assisting defense - Maximum center Kwame Brown got the best chance.
