NBA: Defensive master, averaging five doubles per game

For Long Fei, the first quarter of the game experience was not good at all!

It can even be said that this was the most unpleasant game he played since he entered the NBA.

Although the first quarter of the game was played, Long Fei limited Maddie to 3 shots and 0 shots, and only relied on free throws to score 2 points, which is already a pretty good defensive embodiment.

But the problem is that after this section, Long Fei has not accumulated much [Morale Value], and it has not even reached 50 Morale Points, and even the low-consumption skill of [Extreme Fill] has not been able to be activated.

Not having enough starting morale points meant that Long Fei couldn't enter his own cycle mode early like in the previous game.

......

And, through observation, Long Fei found that the biggest problem tonight was that the Rockets "marginalized" their tactics on the offensive end.

That's right, the Rockets would rather not let Maddie attack with the ball than let Long Fei play on the defensive end.

Long Fei is responsible for marking Maddy, then Maddie will be pulled directly outside the three-point line in the two corners, and the Rockets' offense will be launched on the other side.

Long Fei naturally couldn't completely let go of Maddie to defend, and it was foreseeable that even if he had accumulated enough [Morale] and could use skills like [Extreme Fill], there was no way to cover from the weak side to the strong side.

You must know that although [Limit Fill] has the effect of explosive teleportation in a short period of time.

However, the distance of this burst of "teleportation" is limited, probably only between two or three positions, and it is impossible to directly fill the position from the weak side of the court to the strong side of the other side.

And even if it shrinks to the basket and threatens Da Yao's offense, it is difficult to do it.

After all, the Rockets have been prepared for this for a long time, and when Da Yao attacks the frame under the basket, the direction he chooses will not be on the side of Maddie and Long Fei.

......

The Rockets' choice can be said to be quite extreme

! You know, Tracy McGrady is the Rockets' top scorer, they eliminated the Kings 4:2 in the first round, and Maddy was able to score an average of 33 points per game!

Sacrificing such a player, just to contain an outside defender of the Mavericks, is quite a kind of "injuring the enemy 800 and losing 1,000 yourself."

But judging from the results, Team Rocket's trick is really useful.

......

Soon, the second quarter of the game began, and the Mavericks' rotation changed the sluggishness of the main lineup, and they began to play!

Even the Rockets' rotation lineup still followed the principle of keeping the pace down and reducing the number of rounds.

But Jason Terry on the Mavericks' bench is an unreasonable player.

Terry, known as the "Jet", came up and hit a difficult side-moving three-pointer, followed by two strong slides to the baseline and make a quick layup.

And the veteran Starkerhouse has also played, he once competed with Iverson for the scoring title, even in his twilight years, his strength has been greatly reduced, but his scoring ability is still good, after two consecutive mid-range hits, the Mavericks have smoothed the difference!

The fans in Dallas at the scene cheered happily when they saw such a scene.

"I'll just say, let's chase the score quickly, isn't this

coming!" "Hahaha, if you want me to say, our rotation lineup is the most underrated, Terry should be the best sixth man

!" "It's coming, it's coming, it's coming our rhythm is coming, and the Rockets will be overwhelmed soon!"

......

The firepower of the Mavericks' bench lineup did catch Van Gundy a little unexpected, and he called a timeout with a very bad face and switched back to the main lineup.

The Mavericks, on their part, have made a corresponding move.

However, after the substitution, the situation changed abruptly, and the super center Da Yao became unstoppable!

Strong offense, big hat, rebound, and kill ......

He was omnipotent, scoring 11 points in a row, fouling Dampier three times, and the Mavericks replaced Bradley, who struggled even more when he had a height under the basket but couldn't stand it!

Among the "troika", only Nowitzki made two of three shots and scored 4 points, and Nash and Finley both swallowed 0 in a single quarter.

As for Long Fei, he only scored 2 points against Maddie, but this could not change the Mavericks' sluggish performance.

In the second half of the second quarter, he was pulled away by the Rockets, playing 24:26 in a single quarter, but lost by 2 points.

At halftime, the Mavericks, who were playing at home, trailed the Rockets by 12 points at 40-52.

......

At this time, Dallas fans, although a little unpleasant, are still optimistic that the Mavericks will definitely explode in the second half, especially in the third quarter, and turn the momentum in one fell swoop.

After all, big data shows that the Mavericks often play best in the third quarter

......

! After halftime, in the third quarter, the Mavericks really

broke out, but it was Long Fei who broke out, he broke out first on the defensive end, first on the defensive end by filling in the big hat Sula's layup, and then on the offensive end on the head of Da Yao to complete the rebound and cause Da Yao to foul.

Go back and make a one-on-one steal on Maddie and give Maddie a "debuff".

It's not over, Da Yao continued to attack on the offensive end, was interfered with, and grabbed offensive rebounds in a row, and when he was strong for the second time, Long Fei rushed to the scene, forming a nailboard hat for Da Yao, and at the same time, it also ignited the home court!

......

Long Fei's defensive climax, morale value cycled,

but compared to the usual performance of this rhythm at the end of the first quarter in the past, it was more than a quarter late.

Under the influence of Long Fei's defense, the Rockets only scored 18 points

in the third quarter, but the bad news is that the Mavericks' offense did not explode in this quarter, and their shooting touch still did not usher in a big turn in the slow-paced positional battle.

He scored only 23 points in the first quarter, beating the Rockets by just five points.

The difference of 12 points has only been narrowed to 7 points.

......

Fans are holding that there is a narrowing, then there is hope, and with a point difference of less than 10 points, the Mavericks can completely reverse the mentality in the fourth quarter and continue to cheer for the home team.

However, the fourth quarter began, and it was the turn of the Rockets' benches to explode.

Joan Barry and Mike James continued to shoot from outside the three-point line, and Da Yao's bench, the aging Uncle Mu, also forced Bradley to eat a big bamboo pole under the basket.

In just three minutes, the Mavericks' rotation was caught off guard by their opponents, and the margin quickly stretched to 16 points.

At this time, the Dallas fans finally panicked, and they realized that if the main force didn't break out again, it was estimated that they would lose tonight!

......

In the final decisive stage of the fourth quarter, although the Mavericks fought back, the strength was completely insufficient.

In the end, the Mavericks still lost to the Rockets 86-98 at home, playing an extremely bad game and the first time in the playoffs to roll over at home.

Throughout the game, Da Yao slashed 34 points and 8 rebounds, which became a point that the Mavericks had no way to contain, although Maddy was locked to only 8 points in the game, but the other players of the Rockets performed well, especially Mike James on the bench, who shot 4 of 4 three-pointers and scored 16 points! On the other hand, on the Mavericks

' side, only Nowitzki scored 20 points and scored 21 points.

And Long Fei, although his performance on the defensive end is still eye-catching, his data of 8 points, 6 rebounds, 5 blocks and 3 steals is obviously a big discount compared to the performance of the previous quadruple-double.

......

Losing this home, and losing in this way, is enough for the Mavericks to sound the alarm.
