Almighty legend life

Chapter 641 Fighting the Spurs Again
Liu Han unreservedly taught Nowitzki a set of training to exercise his core strength, but this is just the beginning. In addition to daily training in the future, Liu Han will also perform back-up techniques on Nowitzki. He didn't know how to turn his back at all before, but he didn't know how to deal with it when he encountered a confrontation. This needs to be slowly experienced in the game and experienced people point out the points that should be paid attention to.

In addition, Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks, also gave the team a big gift when he learned that the team is now going to strengthen rebounding and interior training. Olajuwon came to serve as the team's special consultant in [-], specializing in training the team's inside footsteps, basket skills and defensive essentials.

Originally, Olajuwon didn't really want to go to Dallas, but Cuban was really "sincere" and Olajuwon also wanted to meet the legendary young man, so he agreed to come to Dallas for a while. In [-], as for the future, that’s uncertain. The Rockets also hope that Olajuwon can go to the Rockets to teach Yao Min, but the Rockets owner Alexander is tight, and Olajuwon doesn’t want to go to the Rockets for nothing.

The Mavericks have been questioned by the outside world, but the internal atmosphere of the team tends to ease. At least the attitude of the players has changed a lot after two failures and the intensive training of the coaching staff.

On November 2003, 11, the Mavericks ushered in the team's 20th game of the regular season. The Mavericks will face the visiting Spurs at home.

The Spurs gradually regained their form after a few slow games at the beginning of the season. They played one more game than the Mavericks, with a record of 7 wins and 5 losses. The Spurs have won two consecutive victories, and the team is in good shape. The outside media is relatively optimistic about the Spurs. After all, the Mavericks have just suffered a two-game losing streak. The media is basically the same.

The last time the two teams played against each other in San Antonio, although Popovich's tactics were very subtle, it was a pity that the players were not strong enough. In addition, the Mavericks players were in good condition during that time, so the Spurs lost to the Mavericks by more than ten points. In the first game, the Spurs have recovered their form and the Mavericks have fallen into a trough. The outcome of the two sides is unpredictable.

The game officially started at [-]:[-] p.m. local time in Dallas. The lineup of the Mavericks has not changed, it is still dominated by Nelson, and the Spurs are also the main force. Even Ginobili, who has always performed poorly in the starting lineup, also entered the starting lineup The lineup, and the Spurs did not use high center forward Nesterovic this time, but replaced Devin Brown with excellent defense, the purpose of which was to target Liu Han.

Popovich has studied the two games the Mavericks lost. The fundamental reason is that Liu Han’s connection with the rest of the Mavericks was cut off, which affected the Mavericks’ tactics to a certain extent, and the Mavericks players were too confident. Or underestimating the enemy, which eventually led to the team's loss, so Popovich also started from this point in this game. With Devon Brown and Bruce Bowen, I believe Liu Han will feel a different defense.

Nowitzki's jump ball was still not Duncan's opponent. The Spurs attacked first. Parker uncharacteristically launched a fast break after receiving the ball grabbed by Ginobili. However, the Mavericks returned to defense very quickly. Parker just passed At halftime, Liu Han blocked him.

He also didn't try to break through Liu Han, because he knew very well that his speed was not the opponent's opponent at all, so he stabilized the ball and waited for his teammates to settle down.

Liu Han took the opportunity to steal the ball, but Parker paid great attention to the protection of the ball and did not leak too many loopholes. The Spurs entered a positional battle.

After the players on both sides settled down, Popovich was a little surprised that the Mavericks actually defended a two-three defense, which he did not expect, and of course the Spurs players on the field did not expect it either.

Liu Han was two meters to the side of Parker, not only taking care of Parker's defense, but also faintly blocked Ginobili's advancing route.

Parker was confused for a while, he didn't know what to do next, pass it on to Duncan, he has not only Nowitzki, but also Jamison on the side to support him, he may steal at any time, and it's not too big to make a shot himself Confidence, fortunately at this time Duncan took the initiative to mention the high position to cover for Parker.

Parker dribbled the ball towards the top of the arc, using Duncan's cover to try to break into the inside line directly, but although the Mavericks' zone defense was used for the first time in the game, the tacit understanding of the players seemed to be sufficient, and Parker hadn't had time to step into the free throw The line he broke through was blocked by Jamison and Nowitzki.

Parker passed the ball to Duncan, but as soon as the ball arrived in Duncan's hands, Liu Han's ball had already arrived. Before Duncan had time to hold the ball, Liu Han took the ball away. Once down.

Liu Han took the lead and rushed straight to the Spurs halfway. Behind him, Parker tried to catch up, but was thrown away by Liu Han in an instant.

Liu Han, who stepped into the free throw line of the Spurs, jumped high and dunked the ball into the basket with a one-armed loop.

The American Airlines Center arena was full of jubilation. Cuban and Anna also stood up and waved their hands. The dunk was too violent and completely ignited the passion of the Dallas Cowboys.

Nobody expected the Mavericks to start the game in the zone, and it seemed to work out pretty well.

Next, the players on the Spurs took the initiative to make adjustments. Duncan took a step beyond the 45-degree three-point line, and then took the initiative to ask Parker for the ball. After receiving the pass, he directly shot a high rebound shot.

This is a stunt that Duncan has practiced in recent years. The shooting rate is amazing. Nowitzki's defense is a little slower. In addition, the zone defense is originally designed to prevent breakthroughs and shots, so Duncan can only let Duncan score.

Both teams have undergone new changes since the beginning, and both players have honed their tactics and skills as much as possible during the regular season.

The Mavericks launched an offense after serving from the bottom line. After halftime, Liu Han didn't take the ball too much. After attracting Bruce Bowen's defensive attention, Liu Han hoisted the ball into the hands of Dirk Nowitzki.

Nowitzki took the ball and leaned back against Duncan, and then tried to turn around and take off to shoot. Although the movement was not so smooth, thanks to Nowitzki's stable shot and such a high height, the ball was still The shot flew to the basket smoothly. Duncan was obviously underprepared for Nowitzki's post-up singles and did not have time to interfere with Nowitzki's shot.

The basketball fell into the net bag after two laps in the basket, and the Mavericks once again showed new weapons.
