Offense and defense are alternating processes.

Nowitzki scored a jump shot and the Mavericks scored 7 points.

The Pacers' hit rate is not high, but the Mavericks suffered a 2-minute scoring drought.

During this period, Papalucas counterattacked, Xie Hou hit Harrisne and turned around and stepped into the basket to make a layup. Kirilenko broke through and passed the ball Xie Hou scored a jump shot.

8 to 7

"Andre's condition is not as bad as we imagined." Bobby Leonard was surprised by the result. "He has not played for more than half a year and is still at the top level."

McGuinness followed, "Don't draw conclusions so quickly. Maybe it's not because he recovered well, but because the Mavericks' defense is poor..."

The Mavericks' bad defense is an old calendar. Everyone knows that McGuinness can use Kirirenko as a good player, which is a bit like putting a detriment.

The Mavericks have the offensive firepower of the top three in the league and their strong offense, making them the top teams in the West.

In 2006, the Western Conference heroes were suppressed to enter the finals, and met the Pacers in the peak state and Xie Hou who was in an explosive state. He lost after a hard battle.

They have been changing, hoping to bring in another star.

How can a team that lacks offensive ability improve?

Is it better to improve defense? It's hard. Nowitzki's defense is like this. To improve defense, unless it's not centered on Nowitzki. Or, replace Kwame Brown with a better defense player. If you can look at the problem rationally, you can find that Kwame's defense is not a big mistake. He is an excellent defender, proficient in offensive and defensive skills without touching the ball, has extremely fast speed, has a large range of assisted defense and excellent pick-and-roll screen quality.

If you want to change Kwame to something better, it is not something that Mavericks can change just if they want to.

If you strengthen the five-way inside, you can only start from the outside.

They wanted Kidd before, but they could not bid for the Lakers. Now they can only use old wine in new bottles and continue playing with their original lineup. Fortunately, Harris has made rapid progress, otherwise he really won’t see any hope.

Harris' breakthrough was as fast as lightning, and he tore the opponent's defense every time he entered the inside.

In the finals two years ago, the Pacers' assisted defense suffocated him.

It was Kirilenko and O'Neal Jr. Now, these two people are still there, and the defensive pressure he feels is obviously not as good as he was back then.

A breakthrough deep into the hinterland, no result in interference, and layups.

9 to 8

Did I make progress? Questions arise in Harris's mind. He has made progress, but his progress is reflected in the ability to end confrontation and the emergency stop jump shot that has not yet been shown to the Pacers.

In this offense, there was no contact with him on the inside, and there was no chance to use a jump shot.

What is certain is that the Pacers' ability to assist in the penalty area is no longer as good as they were back then. At their peak, they would not allow their opponents to be so presumptuous in the penalty area.

Even Kirilianko thought about it himself.

"In fact, for a talented defender like Andre, the most difficult thing is to recover from injuries and find that his ability is no longer as good as before," Thibodeau said. "The inside is a cruel and realistic position."

Teammates consciously created opportunities for Kirirenko, pulling space and seeking space.

Kirilenko ran out of the basket, Xie Hou passed the ball, turned around and shot, but failed to make the ball.

"It's okay." Xie Hou shouted.

No matter how good a player is, he will miss the chance, but a player like Kirilianko who has been out of the game for a long time will throw the problem to himself.

Emotional anxiety will cause serious ups and downs in their performance.

Therefore, Xie Hou needed to calm his emotions.

The Mavericks' offense was placed on Nowitzki, and they realized that Kirirenko was in a bad state. After all, he had just returned. If he was in excellent condition after coming up, it would make people feel strange.

Nowitzki himself is also transforming. He was defeated by the Red Team in the semi-finals last season, and the disadvantages of his unstable low-post offense were completely exposed.

Cultivating low-level offense is the key to his maturity.

If you pay too much attention to attacking at low positions, you will ignore the movements next to you.

Anyone with low posts has the ability to prevent double-teams. People with good vision rely on passing and break double-teams, while those with excellent offense may not even give you the chance to double-team, and end the battle quickly.

Nowitzki is a type of teammates who are unable to see yet.

Xie Hou's attack came very quickly, just like the Kirirenko, who was the first to be a good match for the defense, double-team, position selection, and strength control.

The power forward who had been two months was not in vain.

"Arthur blocks Deck!"

Kirilenko picked up the ball on the ground and handed it to Xie Hou. The Mavericks returned to defense.

Xie Hou transported the ball and signaled to slow down the pace.

The competition has just begun, so there is no need to worry.

Kirilianko launched a tactic during the run. Xie Hou's gesture recognized his signal. Others began to walk around. Unconsciously, the Mavericks' penalty area was empty.

Excellent running vacate the penalty area.

When Xie Hou dribbled in the frontcourt, Kirilenko pretended to be pick-and-roll, and cutting inside was his real purpose.

The Mavericks failed to make his plan in time, so they attacked Xie Hou online and missed the person.

The smile on Xie Hou's face made Harris and his teammates realize that something was wrong, and then his ball was elegantly hung into the inside.

The ball flew very high, and the Mavericks' penalty area was too empty. Kirirenko received the ball, stepped out with the trend, and dunked it easily as if he was playing games with a child.

10 to 9

"Andre's dunk once again proves that the Mavericks' penalty area is really not defense!" McGuinness shouted.

Dallas people would complain about his commentary, but he was used to it anyway.

In order to protect him, the TV station even issued a rule: "Don't accept complaints outside Indiana."

That is, only locals can complain to McGuinness.

Under normal circumstances, as long as McGuinness doesn't mind attacking those vulnerable groups, his commentary will only be loved and praised by fans.

Although the TV station has policy protection, complaint calls continue to be made.

This incident shows that his position is seriously biased towards the home team, and how sarcastic his skills have reached, few people can bear it.

"Dike!"

Harris was emptied many times, and Xie Hou's projection on him had reached a point of contempt.

Even though he had made an open three-pointer before, the Pacers' defense still remained unchanged.

Nowitzki paid attention to the outside line and saw Harris empty again, so he hurriedly passed the ball.

Xie Hou found that Nowitzki's pass was not very good and had a clear tendency. If you pay a little attention, it would be impossible to cut it off.

Harris' open three-pointer bears the hope of the team and takes action without defense.

This is his second goal tonight.

Bang!

Iron-smash, long rebounds.

Xie Hou grabbed it.

"Arthur really has a set of protection for the long rebound."

"I don't know if there are any relevant statistics in the league. I'm sure Arthur has grabbed the most long rebounds in the league!"

The two major rules for Pacers’ home commentator.

Hackers, thank you.

When necessary, even Xie Hou’s teammates can be blackened, but Xie Hou can’t move only.

However, in most cases, Xie Hou's performance did make them polite.

The Mavericks retreated quickly enough, and Xie Hou's quick attack stopped halfway.

Kirilianko made cover from the outside, and Xie Hou's several passes quickly allowed him to enter the rhythm of the game. He was not the only one who needed to find the rhythm.

O'Neal Jr. was in a position with his back, and strongly blocked Kwame Brown's position, raised his hand to ask for the ball, "Come on, I have a chance!"

Good confidence, can you score?

Xie Hou's pass was in place, O'Neal's position was too deep, and Kwame's top defense was ineffective.

Xiao Ao pushed Kwamei's defense heavily and strongly, turned around and hit the board with a small hook.

12 to 9

Whether Xie Hou or others, they were all relaxed in their attitude towards Devin Harris.

It is polite to put two meters away, but it is a daily routine to leave him on the outside, regardless of whether he is attacking others.

Such a humiliating defensive approach allowed Harris to get his third open three-pointer to make his phone call soon.

Harris, who averaged only three points per game, made the third open three-pointer without finishing the Pacers in half a quarter.

Swish!

The vacant seat is not scary, it is embarrassing to enter.

"Please keep putting me on the shot," Harris shouted.

"Although Devin's shooting is unreliable, it's too much to keep leaving it alone?" McGuinness said in a whisper. "This is a normal person with a healthy limbs. I think the Pacers' defense needs to be adjusted."

Leonard automatically ignored the collective unfriendliness of McGuinness's words to those defective collectives. He had long been used to the old thing who had not kept the door in his mouth to say whatever he thought.

"If they continue to perform such a defense next, it means they really 'believed' Devin's shot." As soon as Leonard finished speaking, Kirilianko missed a three-pointer, and they returned to continue shooting.

Since Harris just scored a three-pointer last round, the Mavericks also wanted to know if his touch could be continued.
Chapter completed!
