Chapter 660 The Winning Streak Before Christmas

The NBA arranges several more interesting games every year at Christmas, and this year is no exception.

The NBA has scheduled three games on Christmas Day this year, two in the West and one in the East.

The main highlight of the game between the Rockets and the Lakers in the west is the "Yao Shark" battle. Since Yao Min joined the NBA, the matchup between him and O'Neal has been very attractive. Before Liu Han returned to the NBA in 02- In the 03 season, Yao Sha will always attract a lot of attention from the East. Although Yao Min is still unable to shake O'Neal's position as the number one center forward, his potential is something to look forward to.

The duel between the Mavericks and the Kings is a confrontation between two tactical systems. Whether Princeton defeated the "running and bombing" or the bulls trampled the Kings, this duel also attracted the attention of senior fans.

Although the Kings lost Webber, they still maintained a strong team style this season. By December 12th, the Kings with a record of 20 wins and 18 losses can be ranked third in the Western Conference. rehearsal.

Although the Christmas Eve game in the East is a confrontation between two weak teams, the matchup between the "strongest high school student" No. [-] pick James and the last two scoring champion McGrady is still very attractive to some fans.

At the strong request of James, the Cavaliers traded Ricky Davis before December. "Totally pissed off everyone in the Cavaliers.

James has shown leadership since he joined the Cavaliers. Although he lacks outside shooting ability, his vision, passing and breakthrough are all top-notch, and he is not a particularly sticky person, so the role of the Cavaliers The players are quite convinced of James.

Although the Magic's McGrady's scoring has dropped compared to the previous two seasons, his passing and support are increasing. If the Magic's role players are not too unbearable, they would not be at the bottom of the league now.

McGrady can be regarded as a rising idol that has emerged in the league in recent years. The experience of a lone hero is very popular among Americans who advocate individual heroism.

The Mavericks still have two games to play before going to challenge the Kings in the away game. In addition to a game against the Clippers at home, there is also an away game against the Trail Blazers on December 12. These two games are not for the Mavericks. It's a big deal, after all, these two teams are relatively restrained by the Mavericks to a certain extent.

Although the Clippers have a poor record, their starting lineup has a group of forwards and guards with good foot movement and top physical fitness. In addition, the Clippers also have an All-Star inside player Elton Brown. Rand, he is not tall but has a very solid inside basic skills and tactics and a movement speed comparable to that of outside players. The main reason for the poor record of such a team is that the coach's coaching style does not match the team's players. conform to.

The main reason for the last time the Mavericks lost to the Clippers was that the rhythm was disrupted by these daring players in the offense, and Liu Han, the top perimeter defender, was also missing in the defense.

On December 12, the game between the Mavericks and the Clippers officially started at the American Airlines Center Arena.

At the beginning of the game, Liu Han gave the Clippers a big gift. He continuously missed the Clippers' layups or dunks in defense.

In this game, the Mavericks did not defend the zone defense, but adopted man-to-man tactics. The Clippers actually had average shooting ability from outside, relying on their strong physical fitness to repeatedly break through and attack the basket. With two Maggettes and one Brand, the Clippers' offense stagnated at the beginning, while the Mavericks used the pick-and-roll after Liu Han held the ball to frequently fire from the outside.

In the first quarter, the Mavericks made a total of eight three-pointers, of which Liu Han hit four by himself.

At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks led the Clippers by 14 points.

In the second quarter, the Clippers leaked the problem of their lack of bench depth. After their rookie center Chris Kaman was injured this year, the Mavericks' bench used a wave of attacks to expand the point difference to 20 points.

In the second half of the game, Clippers coach Dunleavy did not make any changes to the team's tactics. He was originally a relatively traditional and conservative person.

In the third quarter, the Mavericks further expanded their lead. In this quarter, Liu Han was on full fire. He hit 7 three-pointers in a single quarter, completely overwhelming the Clippers. The Mavericks led the Clippers by many Up to 47 points.

At the end of the three quarters, the Mavericks started to clock in and get off work collectively, and the entire fourth quarter was completely reduced to garbage time.

Liu Han hit a total of 13 three-pointers in this game and scored 51 points. The Mavericks even scored a super high score of 136 points, and finally ended the game ahead of the Clippers by 41 points.

After finishing the game with the Clippers, the Mavericks have only one game before Christmas, and the opponent is the Trail Blazers.

The performance of the Trail Blazers has fluctuated this season. They can beat strong teams like the Lakers and Kings, or lose to weak teams like the Warriors and Bucks. The performance of the team depends entirely on the attitude of the players. "Bandits" are indeed difficult to control.

The last time the two teams played against each other was on November 11th. The Mavericks beat their opponents lightly. Liu Han made the Blazers gangsters find no suitable direction for their efforts.

This time the Mavericks came to Portland, and the Trail Blazers were looking for revenge.

However, when the game officially started, the performance of the Trail Blazers was not satisfactory. First, Rasheed Wallace got into foul trouble. Just after halfway through the first quarter, he was charged with a second personal foul and had to rest. .

Without the support of Rasheed Wallace in the high post, the Trail Blazers' offense is in trouble. Randolph's low post is of course very good, but now the Mavericks can double-team him without worrying about Rasheed in the high post. Biao shot.

After the Mavericks established a 9-point lead in the first quarter, the Trail Blazers fell into a hard chase.

But chasing the Mavericks' lead is a recognized problem in the league, which requires a good attitude and persistent motivation, but often when the Mavericks gradually expand the score, many teams will unconsciously fall into rhythm chaos.

The same is true of the Trail Blazers now, but it is impossible to expect the Portland gang of "gangsters" to play with a stable mentality, so when the Mavericks led by 19 points at halftime, the Trail Blazers collapsed in the second half of the game.

In the third quarter, Liu Han once again performed miraculously. He made 8 of 8 three-pointers, allowing the Mavericks to lead the Trail Blazers by 36 points before the start of the fourth quarter.
