NBA: Defensive master, averaging five doubles per game

Dallas fans were a little panicked when they saw Finley coming to defend Maddie.

"Gan, Finley defends Maddie, that's over, it's definitely going to be scored. "

Ma Dan, Long Fei restrained Maddie well before, but now he has to go to the inside line to help defend Da Yao...... It's a hard choice.

"Hey, there's no way, we only have one Long Fei, but the Rockets have one scorer inside and outside, it's not easy to do......

" "Maddie beats Finley, isn't that a send?"

......

Dallas fans are not optimistic that Finley will be able to defend against Maddie.

Although Michael Finley is still the boss of this Mavericks team, it is more of an honorific title that has been used back then, and it is a "respectable" game.

In fact, the scorer who had a "Jordan disciple" back then not only did not reach the heights expected by fans, but also declined seriously in recent years.

Especially after the rise of Nowitzki and Nash, his position with the Mavericks has been reduced to an outside catch-and-shoot ......

On the defensive end, it is the second biggest weakness in addition to Nash.

It's no wonder that Dallas fans aren't optimistic that he can stop Maddie.

......

However, in the next second, Maverick fans, who were still a little worried, suddenly became enlightened.

Maddie singles Finley.

The Rockets' No. 1 pulled out his shot from the three-point line coldly.

Bang!

It turned out to be an iron.

Under the basket, Nowitzki struggled to jam Da Yao, and Long Fei took advantage of the situation to collect the defensive rebound.

"Ding, get the backcourt rebound, morale +5. "

......

It was a successful defense!

Immediately, the fans in the stadium were happy.

"Hahaha, it's down, Maddie doesn't seem to be able to.

"Maddie is so iron, why does he pull out three-pointers against people?"

"Although our old captain is indeed a bit easy to bully, you also have to weigh whether you can shoot it...... It's been blocked by our dragon fei for so long, and it already feels cold

......

!" Fans are happy that the Rockets didn't make it and the defense succeeded.

But what they said is indeed reasonable, obviously, Maddie's attack is very unreasonable.

Rockets head coach Van Gundy also showed a puzzled expression on the sidelines, and shouted at Maddie on the court: "Tmac, you should play inside, you have an advantage in this matchup, you should kill, go to fight!"

Maddy did not have any expression in the retreat, his trademark dead fish eyes, still as if he had not woken up as always.

Obviously, he didn't agree with Van Gundy.

......

The Mavericks, whose momentum was already up, attacked, and after Nash broke through through the block, he controlled the tempo, accelerated the throw after a sudden deceleration, and hit!

Facing Finley again, this time he took two steps inside with the ball, and after a meter inside the three-point line, he was pulled in front of Finley again.

Finally in!

......

This goal cooled down the noisy atmosphere a lot.

Maddie, who scored, still looked like the dead fish-eyed, but looked in the direction of Van Gundy, and there was a little more determination in his eyes, as if to say: "Look for the feel, you know? Don't TMBB!"

......

The situation that Mavericks fans feared, should have come or come.

In this lineup, Long Fei must also let go of Maddy's defense because he wants to help Nowitzki defend Da Yao under the basket.

And in the Mavericks lineup, there is only one defender on the line, Long Fei, so Maddie's point will inevitably be liberated.

Originally, fans thought that Maddie had been locked by Long Fei for so long, and it must have felt cold.

But just one round later, the two-time scoring champion found his touch, and he soared into the distance two points against Finley.

Looks like he's found his touch!

......

This is the Mavericks' problem, and at the same time, it is also the Rockets' on-the-spot response!

On the Mavericks' side, with the overall shooting threat and Nash's organizational ability, they continued to target the point that Da Yao couldn't defend and continued to shoot in the open position.

As for the Rockets, Da Yao was threatened by the help defense under the basket, so he handed the ball to Maddy, using this strong point to seize the defect that Long Fei was not on the outside and singled out the weak defense of the Mavericks.

The two sides go back and forth, and the score still maintains a rapid growth.

But obviously, the Mavericks' projection threat is more threatening than the Rockets' one-man combat.

Especially at home, after the morale is up, the offensive firepower is even greater!

At halftime, the Mavericks led the Rockets by 12 points at 71:59 at home.

......

Compared with G1, Long Fei's half-court performance, from the data point of view, is much worse.

In addition to completing two steals in the first quarter and giving Da Yao a big hat, he only played a deterrent role on the court.

In the half, he only scored 2 points, 1 rebound, 2 blocks and 1 steal.

However, with the team leading by double digits, these were overlooked.

The fans reveled, shouted and cheered for the home team's half-time result.

"Dare to play against us, isn't it looking for death?"

"Hahaha, old Nelson's decision-making tonight is awesome, playing against offense, especially at home, the Mavericks haven't been afraid of anyone

!" "Our starting lineup is really blooming, and it's your league's No. 1 center!"

......

At half-time, the players and coaching staff are back in the dressing room.

On the side of the Mavericks coach's box, Nelson Sr. had already stood up, and said to the junior general with a smile: "Avery see, do you see it, if you play a team like the Rockets, you have to use offense to defeat them."

Despite the facts, the junior general Johnson still said: "But I still think that such a style of play is too wasteful of Long Fei's outside defensive ability...... Are we really not going to continue to let him block Maddie in the second half?"

Nelson Sr. shook his head: "Not at all, Maddy's kind of player, what if you let him score three or forty points? What we have to do is to target Hao Da Yao, so that he can't score well, and at the same time, he can't defend well...... Empty this point, and we are not far from victory. "

......

For Long Fei, this half was actually very uncomfortable.

The team put him in the No. 4 position, which was not a problem from a tactical point of view, after all, the No. 4 position of the Rockets was not high.

But for Long Fei's own playing mode, that is a big problem.

Especially when he only assists in defense, and when he is not in the right position, Da Yao does not fight, so Long Fei's morale gain speed is even lowered.

It's a lot slower than G1.

As a result, he certainly can't play to his fullest on the field.

Otherwise, if you have enough morale points, just find an opportunity to give Maddie a [Fire Rush] and hang a "debuff" on him, it will be more stable.
