NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 285 I have never seen a zone defense since I was a child.
The whole Mavericks team was in despair, not only because the score was overtaken, but also because of the sudden decline in three-point shooting percentage.

However, it seemed that Nowitzki did not believe in evil and once again took a shot from outside the three-point line against Weber's defense. Weber's hand almost closed on the ball.

As expected, Nowitzki, who had a hot hand before, also missed the basket.

Divac got the rebound and quickly found Lu Yuanzhi in the frontcourt. Facing Nash who was retreating from defense, Lu Yuanzhi effortlessly ran him into the paint and then easily dunked with one hand.

Nash was desperate.

What can he do?
He might be able to guard against Bibby's fast break, but facing Lu Yuanzhi, everything he did seemed to be in vain.

As long as the strong Lu Yuanzhi joins the ball, he doesn't even have a chance to steal.

He could only watch Lu Yuanzhi holding the ball high above his head, as if taking a walk, pushing away from his defensive position, and then, as if playfully, he easily took off and put the ball into the basket.

He could only watch Lu Yuanzhi perform a complete set of technical movements in front of Lu Yuanzhi throughout the whole process, and could not do anything.

No one understands the powerlessness of small guards on the defensive end better than Nash now.

Perhaps it's time to use a defensive formation to protect the vulnerable point guard.

Nash came up with this idea for the first time.

But how to use the formation?
Nash had no clue.

After Lu Yuanzhi scored on this fast break, the Kings were already 4 points ahead.

Nelson quickly called a timeout and rearranged his offensive tactics.

The fans at home of the Mavericks felt a little bad, but they did not give up. They shouted "Go Mavericks" in unison and cheered for their home team.

However, Lu Yuanzhi knew that if no one from the Mavericks broke out at this time, the game would end with the Kings winning because the Mavericks could not break through their variant three-two defense.

Nowitzki's single solution ability will be unstable until the Golden Rooster becomes independent.

The Kings are the team that knows how to deal with Dirk best.

Just attack him.

Finley and Nash didn't show extraordinary touch.

Sure enough, facing the Kings' zone defense, the Mavericks once again resorted to Nowitzki's tactical arrangement of transferring from the free throw line, but as expected, when Lu Yuanzhi stepped up his sweep in this area, Nowitzki's transfer point came to a standstill. .

The advantage of size is undoubtedly demonstrated in zone defense.

With four pairs of long arms stretched out, there are very few safe passing lanes left for the Mavericks.

After the Mavericks received the ball with difficulty, Lu Yuanzhi directly went up to give Nowitzki the strongest confrontation. At the same time, he raised his arm to intercept Nowitzki's possible pass.

Nowitzki is fed up with Lu Yuanzhi. This guy is very powerful, he won't suffer in confrontation, and his steps are fast. What's even more uncomfortable is that he has a long wingspan. If he directly takes off and shoots like he does against a small guard, he will definitely be beaten by the opponent in front of him. The guy just covered it down.

It had been more than a second since the ball came to Nowitzki's hands. He also knew that passing the ball alone could not penetrate the Kings' zone defense, so he faked a shot and directly dribbled through.

Lu Yuanzhi was not shaken by Nowitzki's perfunctory shooting fake at all. He just raised his arm upwards. After Nowitzki broke through with the dribble, Lu Yuanzhi quickly followed up and blocked the passage to the inside.

But he also knows that Nowitzki may not want to go inside.

Sure enough, Nowitzki tried his best to confront Lu Yuanzhi and quickly made a fadeaway jumper.Lu Yuanzhi jumped to block the shot. The ball was not blocked, but Nowitzki's shooting action was deformed.

However, the shooting touch of the Silver Horn King is really nothing to say. Although his body was almost twisted into a knot, the ball still got into the hoop.

At 115:113, the Mavericks recovered two points, and the Dallas fans burst into cheers.

Lu Yuanzhi looked relaxed and didn't care. If the Mavericks had such a hard time scoring every time they attacked, he wouldn't know how to lose.

There was less than 1 minute left, but this time, the Kings did not control the attack time. It was still early and they couldn't control it at all.

Lu Yuanzhi and Weber set up an off-ball screen. Weber went inside, and Lu Yuanzhi pulled to the outside. The Mavericks' defensive formation was in a hurry, and everyone's attention was attracted by Weber rushing inside.

But the Kings' tactics haven't stopped yet.

Lu Yuanzhi, who was running out, and Stojakovic, who was running in, set up an off-ball screen one step inside the three-point line. This time, it was Stojakovic who bounced out and cut in. It's Lu Yuanzhi.

Finlay and Jamison coincidentally went after Stojakovic.

Didn't Gonowitzki and LaFrentz shrink back to the inside?
Doesn’t Max know how to hit mid-range?
Then wouldn’t it be right to keep an eye on the three-point king Stojakovic?
But when they separated and Jamison looked back, they found that on the other side, Divac and Webb had made another off-ball screen. After both taking Nowitzki and LaFrentz out of the paint, they couldn't help but be shocked.

"Go back!"

"Max!"

The two of them shouted at the same time to remind their teammates, but how could they do it in time?
As soon as LaFrentz turned around, he saw Lu Yuanzhi leaping high after receiving Bibby's pass. Standing in the three-second zone, he could only stretch his arms in vain, watching Lu Yuanzhi in front of him. Dunk over the head.

At 117:113, the Kings scored 2 points again, and they scored very easily.

The Mavericks' defense was full of holes and was easily penetrated by several off-ball screens and reverse runs by the Kings.

Dallas fans are even more upset about why the Kings score so easily, while their own team has to work hard every time they score a goal.

The Kings are indeed not a strong defensive team, and the fact that the Mavericks scored more than 110 points in this game is the best proof.

But the Kings' defense is not strong. On the one hand, in terms of player awareness and team defensive strategy arrangements, most of the time everyone thinks more about how to launch a counterattack and how to launch a five-man fast break, but they do not respond to the contraction of the second line. Not too concerned.

Therefore, as long as you find the right breakthrough point, it is not difficult to enter the King's inside line.

This is different from a traditional defensive powerhouse.

For traditional strong defensive teams, when you break through the first line of defense, the second line of defense shrinks.

When you go through all the hard work to get to the inside, there is still a frame protector waiting for you, and your offensive success rate will naturally plummet.

The Kings don't have these things.
But there is no shortage of physical talent among Kings players.

Therefore, after changing the defensive strategy to the zone defense that Divac and Stojakovic are familiar with, these two defensive weaknesses suddenly burst into life.

They know zone defense very well!

Moreover, the Kings players may not be able to tense up and defend for a whole game, but who can't tense up and defend for just one minute?
After Nowitzki was targeted again by Lu Yuanzhi, Jamison quickly came over from the side to respond. After the game, he was about to rush inside, but found that the way forward was blocked by Stojakovic.

Over Peja's shoulder, Jamison saw Divac and Webber inside, turning their heads and staring eagerly.

Hold!Why does the league allow a damn zone defense!
I have never seen a zone defense since I was a child, how do I know how to break it!
