Super Lord of the Rings

It rained heavily on the morning of the 16th, and the air became extraordinarily fresh at night.

An hour before the start of the game, uniformed fans gathered outside the arena to take pictures and chat about basketball.

The reporter interviewed some fans before the game. Most of them supported the Mavericks and hoped that the Mavericks would come back and win the championship. Some fans also gave different answers.

A fan who was less than ten years old said: "I like the Mavericks, but I also like to watch Wang Jun play. He can get high scores. I will support whoever plays well."

Little fans don't have a clear position, and Wang Jun has left an indelible impression on the growing generation. When he retires, maybe the new players in the league will be his fans.

The players played on time, and Wang Jun heard a lot of boos. He was the biggest threat and was not welcome in the away game.

After trying a few shots, Wang Jun felt good and hit 7 three-pointers in a row, which boosted his self-confidence a bit.

Bulls: Hinrich, Wang Jun, Nocioni, Luol Deng, Chandler.

Mavericks: Terry, Adrian, Howard, Nowitzki, Diop.

Chandler won with a jump ball and the Bulls went first.

Wang Jun ran sideways to catch the ball, turned around outside the three-point line, and explored with his right foot. Adrian lowered his center of gravity to prevent a breakthrough. Wang Jun pulled up and made a three-pointer. The ball missed under the interference. Mainly.

The Mavericks attacked, and the Bulls used a mixed defense. Wang Jun was in the middle and Chandler was on the baseline. These two positions remained unchanged. The teammates were man-to-man and pay attention to rotation defense.

This greatly exploited the mobility advantages of the three of them.

This kind of defense looks troublesome, but it is not easy to mess up. It is also more popular in the league. It is convenient to limit the opponent's high pick-and-roll, and it can also prevent outside shots. It can also be contracted when necessary.

The most important position is the person in charge of defense in the middle, who must be the core of the perimeter defense, because he has to face a lot of misplaced attacks.

The Mavericks made a high pick-and-roll, Terry ran to the bottom line on the right, and Luol Deng defended the past. There will be no gaps.

Howard ran to the left corner, received a pass from Nowitzki, Nocioni defended, and Chandler double-teamed. Force him to pass the ball out.

As predicted before the game, Adrian couldn't beat Hinrich. If Adrian can make a mid-range shot,

Depending on his height and weight, Hinrich would definitely not be able to guard against him, but Hinrich let him two steps away, and he dared not make a shot.

At this time. Wang Jun yelled at Nowitzki: "I will not lose to you, come and hit me?"

Nowitzki asked for the ball, Adrian passed it, and Wang Jun immediately got close to him, resisting Nowitzki from behind.

Nowitzki leaned back and turned to the right. While Wang Jun moved sideways, he used his leg to touch Benowitzki's leg. He also knows Kidd's trick, and it is difficult for a big man to turn around when he is so entangled.

Nowitzki realized that the best chance to play Wang Jun was after the pick-and-roll and before the close-up. When he received the ball face-up, he chose to pass the ball again.

It's right to do this, don't mess around, but in the eyes of the fans, Nowitzki's momentum is weak.

Facing opponents who are a head shorter than yourself, don't dare to choose to pass the ball?

Isn't it a good opportunity to boost the team's morale by singled out the opponent's core score?

Nowitzki understands football, but not every fan understands it, and they are a little disappointed.

Terry met Luol Deng, but he couldn't get rid of the ball easily. He dribbled the ball twice under his crotch and took a step to make a sudden stop jump shot. Deflected under interference.

Wang Jun immediately launched a fast break, he believed in the rebounding ability of his teammates. Chandler grabbed the backcourt rebound and gave it to Hinrich, who turned around and passed Adrian to the frontcourt and passed it to Wang Jun in the middle.

Wang Jun took the ball and immediately changed direction. Nowitzki's lateral movement speed was much worse during the retreat, and he succeeded in breaking through from the left.

Speed ​​is the most important thing when breaking through, otherwise you may be overtaken and you will not be able to score easily.

Nowitzki stopped Wang Jun, the referee whistled, and he fouled in time. Wang Jun didn't make a shot and called a common foul.

A throw-in was sent, and Wang Jun caught the ball on the left under the cover of Chandler to get rid of Adrian. 2 to 0.

The Mavericks attack, Nowitzki asks for the ball to the left, and Luol Deng defends.

Against the Mavericks, a pure zone defense is not appropriate, otherwise Nowitzki can easily beat Hinrich. As long as there is no pick-and-roll, Hinrich will defend Adrian, and let Adrian double-team the breakthrough person at any time, waiting for an opportunity to steal the ball.

Nowitzki faced a choice, should he attack by himself, or pass it to his teammates to help them cover?

I double-teamed two games, so I won't double-team today. If he attacks on his own, like this the whole game, can the Mavericks win?

Nowitzki chose singles facing the frame. After the three-threat posture, he made a sudden stop and made a jump shot. The shot missed under the interference of Luol Deng. The rebound was obtained by Wang Jun, and he returned to the inside in time to protect the rebound.

Turning around he gave the ball to Hinrich, Hinrich fast break, gave Nocioni, misplaced.

Facing Terry's defense, Nocioni made an emergency stop jumper within the three-point line. The coach told him to shoot when he had the chance, and not to be afraid of being blocked. How could Terry be able to block him with his height? The shot was firm and hit. 4 to 0.

The Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki caught the ball in the middle, faced the outside frame and made a three-pointer. Wang Jun raised his hands to interfere, but did not jump.

This time Nowitzki didn't make another shot. He didn't feel good and thought too much.

Nowitzki is not confident enough. If Wang Jun is facing a single defense, he will choose to keep attacking on his own, forcing the opponent to double-team, but Nowitzki doesn't want to do that.

He's a good team player, and even when he scored a career-high 53 points against the Rockets in December 2004, he only took 32 shots.

It's not normal for Nowitzki to take more than 30 shots in a game. Now the opponent doesn't double-team him, which is different from the coach's arrangement, and he starts to worry that he won't be able to win this fight, and gets distracted.

Chandler grabbed the rebound, Wang Junkuai received a pass from Hinrich just after halftime, and accelerated with the ball.

Nowitzki retreated in a hurry, afraid of being passed by him, and if he fouled again, he would be guilty of two fouls. He could not be replaced prematurely.

Nowitzki withdrew too far back and lowered his center of gravity as much as possible. Wang Jun suddenly stopped in front of the three-point line in the middle, took a step back with his right foot, and shot an 80-degree jumper from the right.

This trick has been tried and tested, especially in the face of the big man returning to the defense, Wang Jun's mobility advantage was brought into play, his posture was picturesque, and he entered the net hollowly. 7 to 0.

The Mavericks attacked, Terry and Nowitzki picked and rolled in the middle, Luol Deng switched defenses, and kept a distance to interfere.

Terry scored the ball and Wang Jun faced Nowitzki.

Nowitzki took a step inside with the ball, and Hinrich let go of Adrian's double-team, and almost reached out and stabbed the basketball.

Nowitzki passed the ball outside, but not to Adrian, but Howard, and Nocioni followed closely.

With almost 24 seconds left, Howard made an emergency stop and missed a jumper, and Chandler got the rebound.

The Bulls fought in a position, and the four opened up. Wang Jun and Chandler picked and rolled and passed the ball to Nocioni in the right corner.

Diop went out too slowly and just raised his hand. Nocioni jumped up and made a three-pointer. The shot was not fast, but the opponent didn't block the shot. It was very easy and the goal was scored! 10 to 0.

The fans were silent. "Little General" Johnson was also dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked for a timeout.

The Mavericks were beaten in the opening game, and the Bulls played poorly in the game. The two started to play today. Abnormalities don't happen every day.
