I Am An NBA Goalkeeper

Chapter 97: Defensive won't win the game

Pepsi Center.

Today is the first game of the second round between the Mavericks and the Nuggets.

But before the opening, Mavericks coach Carlisle is now arguing with offensive coach Solano over a problem.

It's not that Solano is disrespectful to Carlisle. After all, Carlisle is the head coach. The reason for the dispute between the two is whether Wang Dachun played as a starter?

Dampier has a very large proportion of the offensive tactics designed by Solano. If Dampier does not play, the Nuggets will put all the defensive pressure on Nowitzki.

There is indeed no problem with Wang Dachun's defense. But you can't just defend without offense. Once targeted by the Nuggets. The score difference can easily be pulled apart.

Although Carlisle disagrees with Solano's views. But Dampier's offensive position in the Mavericks tactics is really important.

But he also has other considerations. What he needs is Wang Dachun's defense to limit the offense of the Nuggets inside and Kenyon Martin.

These two insiders are both "beast type" insiders. It's not an inside play in the traditional sense. More is through sports battles, forcibly hitting the penalty area to score a dunk.

If there is only one Nene, he believes Dampier can handle it. But add another Kenyon Martin. Dampier must be overwhelmed.

Only by sending Wang Dachun on the field can the two men score in the paint.

The two argued for a long time, until the game was about to start, the final decision was made, Dampier will be sent first, and if they really can't hold the inside line, then Wang Dachun will be sent.

The starting lineup of the two teams.

What the Mavericks sent is,

Jason Kidd, Jose Barria, Josh Howard, Dirk Nowitzki, Eric Dampier.

What the Nuggets sent is,

Chauncey Billups. Deng Tai Jones. Carmelo Anthony. Kenya Martin. Nene Gilario.

In the first quarter of the game, as expected by coach Carlisle, Dampier had no way to limit the scores of the two inside the digging team.

At the same time, Dampier could not open the situation on offense, which also restricted Nowitzki's offense.

Carlisle did not hesitate either. In the 4th minute of the first quarter, he directly replaced Dampier and replaced Wang Dachun.

The score on the field is now 10-16. The Mavericks trailed by 6 points.

Nene and Kenyon Martin saw Wang Dachun on the court, and they both cursed secretly in their hearts.

"Why sent this guy so soon?"

The reason why the two attacked so quickly on the inside just now. In fact, it is to consider the restrictions on them after Wang Dachun comes on the court.

Both of them have been psychologically shadowed by Wang Dachun on the court.

The two teams fought 4 times throughout the season. From the first game. The two did not take advantage of Wang Dachun's hands.

Especially Kenyon Martin. Was humiliated by Wang Dachun. The psychological shadow area is larger.

The game continued and the Nuggets attacked.

Billups took the ball across the frontcourt, continued the previous tactics, and handed the ball to Kenyon Martin after the cut. Let him cooperate with Nene to beat Nowitzki on the inside.

First handing the basketball to Kenyon Martin does not mean that he is today's main offensive point, but that Cameron's touch has not yet opened up. After playing twice on the perimeter, he did not take the initiative to ask for the ball.

However, Kenyon Martin and Nene had a very high success rate in the interior, so they continued to attack the interior.

Kenyon Martin has just received the basketball and is preparing to play with Nene according to the previous tactics.

At this time, Wang Dachun took the initiative to change defense with Nowitzki. He came to defend Kenyon Martin.

Kenyon Martin watched Wang Dachun stick to his body to defend himself. I just want to scold my mother.

"This guy is defending me, should I fight or not?"

After struggling for a moment, he passed the ball back to Billups.

This made Billups stunned for a while. Kenyon Martin has always liked scrambling for the ball in the team. Today, he took the initiative to hand the ball to him, and he was able to pass the ball back.

Billups passed the ball to Nene, and Nowitzki was defending Nene. Although Nowitzki has a large tonnage, there is still a certain gap in strength with Nene.

Nene chiseled Nowitzki twice. Nowitzki kicked it off, and he was ready to buckle in the opposite direction.

But as soon as he jumped up, he saw Wang Dachun rushing over.

It was so fright that he had already stretched out in the air in a burst posture. He forcibly changed his posture in the air and threw the basketball out without daring to buckle it down.

On the outside, Billups almost missed this outrageous return pass.

Seeing that the offensive time was approaching, Billups couldn't organize the offense anymore and could only force the ball out. There is no accident that this ball hit the iron.

The rebound was picked directly by Wang Dachun and passed the ball to Kidd.

The Nuggets players retired quickly, and the Mavericks failed to make a fast break. Can only fight positional warfare.

After retreating back. Taking advantage of the Mavericks players are not fully seated. Billups asked Kenyon Martin and Nene.

"What the **** are you two guys doing? Why don't you follow the tactics?"

Kenyon Martin and Nene replied in unison.

"Afraid of being covered!"

Billups...

Only then did he remember that the two insiders of his own team never seemed to take advantage of Wang Dachun.

After Wang Dachun came on the court, the Mavericks inside was well protected, and it was very difficult for Kenyon Martin and Nene to score inside.

But there is no way to help Nowitzki on offense. When the Mavericks are offensive, as long as the Nuggets guard Wang Dachun alone, Wang Dachun will hardly have a chance to score.

And another insider went to entangle Nowitzki. Let Nowitzki's shot space has been compressed, the hit rate is also greatly reduced.

Wang Dachun's appearance made it difficult for the Nuggets to score points in the penalty area. At the same time, it also limits the scoring of his team's inside line.

Can only rely on outside scores to barely stabilize the score.

As the game progressed, the Nuggets coach George Karl also caught the weakness of Wang Dachun, and directly gave up the inside attack and concentrated all the shots in the hands of Carmelo Anthony and Billups. .

The feeling of the two is getting hotter and hotter, especially Carmelo Anthony. Josh Howard can't limit his scoring at all.

Anthony relies on his own strength to keep scoring, and Billups plays very smartly. Only shot at the middle distance, attracting Wang Dachun's defense.

If Wang Dachun dared to take a step outside the penalty area, basketball would immediately pass to his team's two insiders and let them score.

At the end of the first half, the score of the two teams was 54:43. The Mavericks trailed by 11 points.

In the second half of the game, coach Carlisle did not let Wang Dachun play in order to chase points.

He knows that Wang Dachun has done a good job on the court, but what the team needs now is offense to tie the score.

Unfortunately, the Mavericks did not catch up until the end of the game, and finally lost the first game of the second round 104:95.

In this game, Wang Dachun scored 4 points in 18 minutes. 14 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 assists.

The inability to score on the court also made Wang Dachun want to get offensive ability as soon as possible!
