"They really can't go back to the past."

"But they are still them."

This is Bobby Leonard's comments on O'Neal Jr. and Kirirenko at the end of the first quarter.

Kirilianko scored 8 points, 4 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal in a single quarter, which was slightly more charming than ever.

Xiao Ao rarely has high efficiency tonight and is not greedy for me. He has a good time with Kirilianko, with 5 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in 8 minutes.

Inside highlights, outside fades.

Xie Hou scored 4 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter. Except for the counterattack dunk, he was invisible almost throughout the offensive end.

On the contrary, Papalucas and Artest had a sense of presence more than him.

The Mavericks obviously made a lot of preparations to deal with Xie Hou, but after the fight started, they suddenly found that the person who "cannot find" Xie Hou.

In normal positional battles, Xie Hou basically plays a pick-and-roll for Xiao O or Kirirenko and passes the ball to him. This style of play is called a pure point guard style. His personal offensive ability is not highlighted, but just protects the ball and passes the ball to a strong point.

Anyone who controls the luck and passes the barrier can fight.

Traditional academic coaches will also like such guards very much. If you combine stable control and passes with some fixed-point shooting and defense, you won’t have to worry about playing time.

The first quarter passed, 26 to 19.

The Mavericks were 7 points behind, and Devin Harris scored the most. The Pacers' crazy shorting made him shoot 3-pointers with 7 shots.

Except for Harris, the performance of the Mavericks is not conspicuous.

In the second quarter, both sides competed for the depth of the lineup.

The Pacers were led by Danny Granger. After becoming the sixth man, his average score gradually dropped from 20 points to 18 points, which was stable.

At the end of the season, he averaged too much, nor too much less.

Many people, including the Pacers' coaching staff, thought he would be dissatisfied with the team's arrangements and even took the lead in causing trouble, but he didn't do that.

He was silent throughout the whole process, and he did whatever Claire told, with something hidden in his heart but he didn't say it.

It was precisely because he made efforts in the second team that the Pacers had the confidence to compete with super strong teams in depth.

The Mavericks had fewer players like Granger in the second team.

I wanted to rely on the second team to catch up with points, but after a few minutes of playing, I gave up and let veteran Starkhouse come up to compete with Granger.

35 to 30

37 to 30

32 to 37

39 to 32

Granger is sure whether it is three-pointers or two points, and he is not a pure shooter and can shoot with the ball. Claire gives him the core positioning of the second team, and he can handle all the balls. He has made great sacrifices for the team and naturally becomes the ball dominant of the second team, taking a lot of shots, with medium efficiency, and stopping the Mavericks.

Five minutes after the next quarter, the Mavericks did not even narrow the difference of 1 point.

They exchanged for the main force, Claire waved his hand and took on Sherhou and Artest, keeping Granger, Foster and Tim Thomas three.

The Pacers' current lineup is Sherlock, Artest, Granger, Thomas, Foster.

A lineup that takes into account both defense and space.

Granger brought Miller-like shooting points to the Pacers' outside, and Thomas was like Banyani next to Shehou. In terms of three-pointers, he may not be as good as Banyani. If defense and rebounds are included, Thomas will be stronger than Banyani.

He obviously has the ability to play as the main player, and he is willing to play as a substitute for the championship, and together with Granger, he supported the Pacers' second team.

Nowitzki fought hard when he came up.

Outside the paint area on the right, he took the ball with his back and looked at the layout of the penalty area with his side. He found that Foster's position was outside and there was plenty of room for him to attack, so he simply did not do any extra moves, turned around and swung Thomas, and then took two big steps and smashed the ball into the basket above Thomas' head with his left hand.

The defense is out of place and the height is not enough. This ball is a typical high-rise shot.

34 to 39

"Give Danny a cover," said Shehou as he gave the ball to Thomas.

Thomas ran to the frontcourt after serving, and spoke to remind Granger to pay attention to his movements.

Granger was waiting to catch the ball at any time. When he heard Thomas ask him to prepare for the running to catch the ball, he knew that this was what Xie Hou meant.

Combined with Thomas' position, where can he provide cover?

Xie Hou dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Thomas's cover was aimed at the forty-five-degree angle on the right. Granger ran past the position, and his body was stuck behind him.

Xie Hou quickly made the ball, and Granger scored a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

The Mavericks have assisted defense and have a lot of interference, but they just failed to jump up and interfere with the situation after Granger pulled it up.

Granger is taller, stronger than Miller, and has better athletic ability. These traits give him stronger resistance to stress. The opponent doesn't even jump, so the interference it causes to him can be imagined.

Swish!

42 to 34

"Danny has scored 12 points, it's simply unstoppable!"

"He's like Reggie Miller, who has stronger independent offense!"

It doesn't matter whether the two old men's evaluation of being tired of the old or not. Granger's shooting made the audience inexplicably excited, and the atmosphere on the court spread from his touch.

The Mavericks also chose three-pointers for the counterattack.

Devin Harris broke through and passed the ball before against Granger against Starkhouse.

The veteran's offense is the most important word for stability. Starkhouse is no longer the young man who challenged the media back then.

Artest's defense made him unable to take action, so he called a pick-and-roll, and then stopped to take action after getting an open position.

It was also a three-pointer, but it felt bad and he couldn't make a shot.

Nowitzki scored consecutive rebounds.

Foster and Thomas were both at the basket, with four or five arms rising at the same time.

Nowitzki's physical condition is not superior. If he doesn't stop grabbing rebounds, his physical fitness will become a shortcoming. He raises so many hands at the same time, even if he is predicted, he will not be able to make any difference if he has the power to grab the rebounds from everyone's heads.

The basketball was repeatedly lit by the Germans.

He imagined that Rodman had continuously raised rebounds like he did back then, but every time the rebound fell, the landing point would be more beneficial to him.

Unfortunately, he mistakenly got Rodman from that year.

Even if the 39-year-old Rodman joined the Mavericks, even if he averaged 14 rebounds per game at that time, his continuous jumping ability was not comparable to that of a German under thirty.

The rebound was lit up twice in a row.

Nowitzki tried to click him into the basket, and his arms around him interfered with the ball, and O'Neal Jr. even shot him out when he jumped for the third time.

Granger slid to the long rebound and slapped the rebound in the middle circle.

Xie Hou rushed over to catch the ball. He found that the floor was really slippery. He almost fell down. He received the ball and threw it from behind to Artest further in front.

This out-of-control ball finally turned into a normal pass.

A complex but exciting transmission was eventually violently dunked by Artest to complete the offense.

44 to 34

The 10-point gap is wide in front of the Mavericks.

They requested a timeout again, make adjustments to the inside, exchange for Kwame Brown, increase Nowitzki's offensive weight and weaken Harris' offensive position.

The Mavericks' adjustments were later proved to be wrong.

Nowitzki is in a period of technical adjustment, and this year he has the lowest efficiency in all aspects. Facing the Pacers, his immature combination of high and low post offenses cannot have a good effect. Instead, Harris, who likes to decide the outcome at speed, has the ability to pass Xie Hou in one step.

If the Mavericks play a large number of pick-and-roll attacks around him, combined with Nowitzki's threat of mid-range shots, the Pacers will inevitably lose sight of one thing.

Unfortunately, the mediocre head coach, his trust in Nowitzki and Harris's few open three-pointers that were powerless to complain about, made the Mavericks' entire decision-making problem.

Nowitzki received the ball from the left wing and first showed one of his most distinctive characteristics: the defender-like hand-foot coordination ability.

Tim Thomas, who is a little shorter than him, has lowered his center of gravity to prevent him from breaking through, but he still dribbled in one step, showing his extraordinary offensive talent and shocking balance.

He was not steady enough, only Foster could affect his offense, and he actually chose to take a tall basket.

Foster's explosive power is nothing more than saying. Nowitzki's front foot was raised, and the ball injected with soft power was blocked without rising to the highest point.

Nowitzki's offense was disappointing, and Kwame Brown's breakthrough master grabbed the offensive rebound, and his steps were extremely neat, just like a traditional insider who was proficient in the inside footsteps, shook the person away and scored with a hook.

36 to 44

No one doubted his skills, and if he had a pair of big hands, he might have really become the second Chris Webber.

But he is not the only player who will become greater after "if" and if "if" is really useful, it is not his turn to Kwamei even if she squeezes out.

After all, if there are many people who succeed, ten times more than a hundred times more people fail.

As many people become champions, there are people who multiply by ten times as their defeated generals become part of the king's hegemony. They all need only one "if" to change the result.

The Mavericks' offensive end plays Nowitzki, while the Pacers also treat the Germans as their main breakthrough when attacking.

Tim Thomas pulled out the pick-and-roll, and his three-pointer threat forced Nowitzki to pull out.

Xie Hou was dislocated against the German, and he still only scored 4 points. When he saw Nowitzki, the desire to score on his face was like seeing all the goddesses/male gods, the desire in his eyes and the desire in his heart, needless to say.

The difference between Xie Hou and everyone is that he longs for what he gets from Nowitzki and has a hand in hand. Everyone and his silent love have to hope to have a good dream when closing their eyes.

Nowitzki knew that his defense was not good, but he still had to step forward, trying to take the lead and attack him inadequately.
Chapter completed!
