"Just guard them from the outside, don't be afraid of them breaking in!"

As soon as Lu Yuanzhi came on the court, he clapped his hands at his teammates and conspired loudly.

He's not afraid of being heard by the Mavericks, so what if he hears him?Now the Mavericks can set off this wave of offensive frenzy by relying on ridiculously accurate three-pointers.

They also want to maintain their offensive momentum and must rely on three-pointers.

This is very similar to the Kings before Lu Yuanzhi emerged. At that time, the Kings had a group of excellent three-point shooters and a Princeton system that could open up space for everyone inside, but no one had enough impact at all.

Therefore, many times, if the opponent has strong rim protection inside but does not get out, the Kings basically have no way to get out.

If the opponent further strengthens its defense outside the three-point line and allows sudden shots but not shots, the Kings will be very uncomfortable at that time and can only solve the problem through Webber's singles.

Now, the Mavericks have a similar problem.

The five players on the court, LaFrentz, Nowitzki and Nash, do not have strong impact and their finishing ability at the basket is average.

Finley does have very good physical fitness, but successive years of competition have also caused him constant injuries. At this time, the success rate of finishing at the basket is less than 6%, and he will not be a huge threat.

Only Jamison is left with the most impact, with a finishing rate of over 7% at the basket. He is quite a threat and may punish the Kings' defensive strategy.

But unfortunately, the defender he had to face was Lu Yuanzhi.

When faced with a defender who is taller than you, faster than you, can jump better than you, and knows how to get to the basket better than you, Jamison will actually have a harder time getting to the basket than others. .

The Kings did not lose their aggressiveness. In their offensive round, Lu Yuanzhi easily shook off Jamison and got into the basket for a dunk.

Now, back to the defensive end, it's time to test out the Kings' new defensive strategy.

Nash once again called for a pick-and-roll from the outside, but this time, Bibby was very determined. He released a direct channel to the inside and also had to prevent Nash's three-pointer offensive.

Nash unceremoniously drove straight to the basket, and Weber, who was on the second line of defense, stepped in. Nash quickly passed the ball to Nowitzki, who was in the open. Nowitzki hit a one-step jumper inside the three-point line.

"It's okay! Keep on guarding like this!"

"Just don't let them shoot three-pointers!"

Lu Yuanzhi continued to encourage loudly.

The Kings were just stunned by the three-point rain. As long as this three-point rhythm is interrupted, it is not a big deal for the Mavericks to score two-pointers.

If a guy keeps hitting three-pointers, he's probably having a hot day.

But if everyone on a team can hit three-pointers like crazy, that would be a bit abnormal.

From a mathematical point of view, each person's shooting is a relatively independent event. Seven people with a shooting percentage of about 7% hit seven three-pointers in a row. What is their probability?

The 0.4th power of 7 is 0.0016384, a probability of less than 0.2%.

Absolutely low probability event.

So how does something like this happen?
In addition to purely rational mathematics, it can only be explained by another perceptual reason.

Because everyone hit the target one after another, everyone's confidence has been greatly improved. In this fanatical atmosphere, everyone feels that they will definitely be able to hit the target.

Therefore, don't believe in evil and think that the Mavericks can't be accurate all the time and let them keep shooting three-pointers.

A frenzied atmosphere would push their shooting percentage to heights that would be difficult for the Kings to accept.

In his own timeline, Lu Yuanzhi has already seen the horror of the Warriors' third quarter, and he will never let the Mavericks have the same effect.Therefore, since this unusual hit comes from the atmosphere and the players' confidence, it would be good to interrupt this "blind confidence".

As long as the Mavericks are unable to shoot outside the three-point line for a long time, this craze will naturally be interrupted.

As long as they return to normal, there is no way the Kings will lose.

It's that simple logic.

Next, the Kings and Mavericks really returned to their normal scoring rhythm.

The Kings scored easily because the Mavericks lineup is really bad at defense. Nash has defensive holes, Jamison has defensive holes. Even Nowitzki and LaFrentz were very defensive when facing Webb and Divac. Hard work.

The Mavericks have defensive holes everywhere, so how can they prevent the Kings' offense.

In turn, the Kings stayed outside the three-point line and gave the Mavericks a lot of mid-range opportunities. Finley, Nowitzki and Nash also continued to score in this area.

The Mavericks scored much more easily than before, but their offensive frenzy was unknowingly curbed, and there was no more desperate three-point rain.

It didn't end there.

With about 2 minutes left in the game, the Mavericks continued to maintain a 3-point lead, and the score reached 108:111, but the Mavericks had not taken a shot from outside the three-point line for 4 full minutes.

"Now, let's resume zone defense!"

“It’s time for their magical touch to disappear too!”

After Stojakovic tied the score with a three-pointer, Lu Yuanzhi shouted to his teammates.

Here we go again, plotting loudly.

Nelson originally wanted to call a timeout and rearrange the offensive tactics, but after hearing Lu Yuanzhi's words, he was thoughtful and decided to take a look at his team's offense before making a decision.

On the other side, Adelman also watched with interest as Lu Yuanzhi commanded the team's defense.

Ordinarily, this is the authority of the head coach and he should give the orders.

But in fact, Adelman doesn't mind that his players have room to perform independently on the court, especially since he and his coaching staff are not particularly good at defense. It is better to let Lu Yuanzhi and Christie, two defensive experts, make their own adjustments on the court. .

Their defensive sense is among the best in the league!
Anyway, let’s try it for one round first.

In fact, regardless of whether Lu Yuanzhi shouted a reminder or not, the Mavericks saw the Kings' position and knew that the Kings had changed their zone defense.

snort!We made 7 out of 7 three-pointers before, but you still dare to defend in a zone?

seek death?

But when Finley missed the three-point shot due to interference from Stojakovic, the faces of the Mavericks players changed drastically, while the Kings bench erupted into a huge cheer.

Players on both sides had that thought running through their heads - no one is guaranteed to hit consistently.

Only Lu Yuanzhi was thinking, as expected, it was not that easy to get his rhythm back after being interrupted.

The Kings quickly counterattacked, taking advantage of the size advantages of Lu Yuanzhi and Stojakovic on the forward and back lines to severely punish the Mavericks.

It may be difficult for Stojakovic to break through the interception of the Mavericks' interior rim protector in positional battles, but in a quick counterattack, with a height of 206 centimeters, when facing Finley and Nash who are completely inferior to him in size, breaking into the interior and scoring is not enough. Got it?
113:111, the Kings overtook the score again!

 The elderly and children at home all have colds and coughs, so we go to the hospital together every day, sweat!
  The seasons have changed recently and it’s easy to get sick, so please take care of your health!
