NBA: Defensive master, averaging five doubles per game

The fans at the Toyota Center

, the home of the Rockets, put a lot of pressure on them! The momentum was like a storm in the Gulf of Mexico, sweeping the Dallas players into it, which made them feel the pressure!

Under pressure, the Mavericks' first offense ended in iron.

In this way, the cheers of the fans at the scene were more positive!

......

The Rockets attacked, and the Mavericks still adopted the strategy of wrapping Da Yao on the inside and staring at Maddie on the outside.

The ball was still in the hands of the Rockets' role players, and it was another open long-range two-point shot.

Bang!

The iron hit, and Dampier protected the rebound.

......

The Mavericks' defensive strategy has also had some effect.

Speaking of which, the reason why role players are role players is also because of their lack of quality.

This environment also gives them some psychological pressure, once there are mood swings, then the inevitable open shot, there will also be deviations.

......

The Mavericks rounded, fell to the position, gave the ball to Nowitzki, took advantage of the height advantage to shoot one-on-one, and hit it steadily.

2:2

The Rockets attacked, Willis slowly dribbled the ball across the frontcourt, and it was clear that the Rockets were deliberately slowing down.

Although the Rockets won the last game against the Mavericks at home, even they knew very well that G2's win was a pure accident, or rather a stroke of luck.

In the final half of the quarter, the role players played at a super level and shot a lot of three-pointers that are usually impossible to shoot, before finally reversing and narrowly defeating the opponent.

Now, back at home, the Rockets have the advantage and naturally want to drag the game into their own rhythm.

But what they don't know is that the Mavericks are actually playing defense tonight

......

! Or forcing the role player to shoot, or missing.

The Mavericks attacked, and the outside shot appeared to hit the iron.

......

In a slow-paced game, in the monstrous voices of the fans at the scene, the opening hit rate of both sides was not high, and each of them frequently hit the iron, as if it was difficult to score a point.

The score of 2:2 lasted for more than three minutes.

......

The first to break the deadlock was the Mavericks, who scored four points from the free-throw line with two consecutive tough breakaways and fouls.

The Rockets, on the other hand, are still struggling to keep up their firepower.

......

At the critical moment, seeing that his teammates couldn't score, and Da Yao was caught again, Maddy, the top scorer of the Rockets, finally stopped playing soy sauce, and he chose to take the initiative to receive the ball and challenge the best defensive player Long Fei.

The first strong attack caused Long Fei's foul and got the opportunity to go to the free throw line.

Although Long Fei felt that the referee was biased and actively appealed, he still did not change the result.

Maddy made two free throws to finally break the scoring drought for the Rockets.

......

Seeing Maddie score in the matchup with Long Fei, the Rockets fans at the scene were once again excited!

They cheered and cheered for the home team as much as they could.

It's just because they know that once they win this victory, it is basically equivalent to advancing to the Western Finals!

......

In the middle of the first quarter, the two sides gradually regained some touch, and the score began to go up.

And Maddie relied on the cover given to him by his teammates, five attacks, two of which were interfered with by Long Fei, but he also succeeded three times and scored 6 points.

It was at this time that Long Fei finished accumulating [Morale Points], and in the hustle and bustle of the away game, he began to perform!

Immediately afterwards, in the process of the Mavericks' offensive mistake and being broken and counterattacked, after chasing the defense, he used [Extreme Fill], Maddie who made a quick layup with a big hat, and won the rebound!

......

For a while, Long Fei's strong defensive performance made the scene a lot quieter.

And with his outburst, the Mavericks also achieved a comeback at the end of the quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks, who were playing away, led their opponents by 5 points at 22:17.

Looking at the scoreline, it was really a defensive battle.

And if you watch the process of the game, you will be even more amazed: the Mavericks, a team that has never defended, can actually play defense

......

? ! Even if they are behind, the Rockets fans are not panicking, after all, the game has just begun, and because of the last G2, the Rockets finally reversed the game when they were once behind by 20 points on the road, so they still firmly believe that in the second quarter, the latter is the second half, and the Rockets can turn the game around.

In the second quarter of the game, the Rockets really rebounded strongly!

After adjustment, Da Yao's dominance under the basket was fully displayed.

Even if the Mavericks still insisted on wrapping him, but after the clever Da Yao chose to receive the ball, he did not hesitate to turn around and play high!

And the most important thing is that the shooting rate is extremely high!

In this way, the Mavericks' defense has to face a problem, if you want to prevent such a big Yao, you must do it in advance, and once you wrap it in advance, then the Mavericks' defense will be full of holes before the offense starts.

......

Throughout the second quarter, Maddie continued to be targeted by Long Fei, and there was no significant performance.

But Da Yao came alive, scoring 15 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter, once again dominating the interior!

Coupled with the rebound of the Rockets' role player offense, they played a 28-23 in a single quarter and paid tribute to the Mavericks.

At halftime, the two sides were tied at 45:45

......

This game looked very anxious, but in the third quarter, the situation changed abruptly!

As soon as it came up, Long Fei became active again, and all kinds of strong defenses caught the Rocket team off guard.

Then the Mavericks played their scoring climax and opened the score in one fell swoop.

Throughout the third quarter, the Rockets were completely blown up by the Mavericks on both offensive and defensive ends, with a net win of 14 points at 31:17 in the single quarter.

......

In the final quarter of the game, although the Rockets fought back with the cheers of the fans, the Mavericks clearly had morale and self-confidence.

After a battle between the two sides, the Mavericks defeated the Rockets 104-95 on the road, bringing the score to 1:2.

In this game, on the Mavericks' side, Derk Nowitzki scored 28 points and 10 rebounds, and Long Fei got 10 points, 7 rebounds, 6 blocks and 4 steals.

On the Rockets' side, although Da Yao scored 38 points and 12 rebounds, there was no way to lead the team to victory.

The reason for this is naturally that Maddie is difficult to play, and under Long Fei's full defense, he only scored 13 points in the whole game, and the play of other role players is no longer as magical as G2.

......

Obviously, for the Mavericks, this victory is precious!
