Chapter 1,061 James’ Contempt!

The first quarter of the Western Conference semifinals game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Mavericks was very unexpected.

The Seattle SuperSonics had no intention of exploiting the Mavericks' defensive weaknesses.

The defense doesn't care at all whether the Mavericks have a mismatch advantage.

This made the tactics and machinations laid out by Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle before the game have no effect at all.

It was agreed that Milicic should be beaten on the offensive end and Nowitzki should be protected on the defensive end?

When attacking, there are better opportunities than playing Milicic.

When defending, the opponent is completely unfamiliar with Nowitzki.

This is something Carlisle never dreamed of before the game started.

In the first quarter of the game, the Seattle SuperSonics clearly gave the Mavericks double happiness.

But it was obviously twice as happy, so why couldn't he be happy?

Not only was he unhappy, Carlisle was also extremely uncomfortable at this time.

Obviously the Seattle SuperSonics did not target his team, but he felt as if he was being targeted everywhere.

Logically speaking, with Yes being so willful on the court, his Mavericks should be able to take the lead at this time. After all, double the happiness.

But after the first quarter, his team trailed by eight points.

In the first quarter of the game, Marion, who had an absolute mismatch advantage, was not very effective when attacking Yes.

Although the Seattle SuperSonics' strong attacks are all based on their team's strong defensive players, the SuperSonics' offense has incredible offensive efficiency.

This really puzzled Carlisle.

Even a smart person like him couldn't find a clue.

However, it doesn't matter if you can't find a clue. Being behind by eight points in the first quarter is nothing. Don't be intimidated by Yes.

As long as your team plays without any problems, all the opportunities that should come out come out, and you defend against all the things that should be defended, and there are no problems with your own players. If there are opportunities, you will not be soft-hearted, and you will not leave the opponent open. As for your own shooting rate is not enough. , the opponent's hit rate is not low, there is no way around this.

Do your best to obey fate. No one in this world can see the feel of their own hands or the feel of others. This is all God's will.

The important thing now is to recover the score slightly in the first quarter.

The Seattle SuperSonics' bench has been known as the strongest bench in the NBA this season.

If it's a ten-man rotation versus a ten-man rotation, the Sonics' bench is indeed invincible.

In the regular season, the Mavericks actually rotate ten players.

But in the playoffs, the Mavericks will naturally not compete with the SuperSonics in a ten-man rotation.

Barea, Monta Alice, Terry, Marion, Dampier.

The Mavericks' starting small forward Marion or the starting point guard Afflalo, along with the Mavericks' backup three-shooter and the former "second" center in the Western Conference Dampier, are the regular rotation lineup for this season's playoffs.

Although the Mavericks have Marion this season, their forward strength is still not deep enough, so they need Marion or Afflalo to play more.

There's no way to play a crazy ten-man rotation like the Seattle SuperSonics.

Everyone knows the benefits of a ten-man rotation. You don’t have to worry about the lineup arrangement. Eight, nine, or even fewer seven or six-man rotations can really make the head coach think about which players to use at what time. , which players played for too long and need to take a rest, what kind of players are not in good condition today, but there are no replacement players, so the main players can only play more, etc.

A bunch of messy things.

In fact, there are many things to worry about that don't scare Carlisle.

He is a head coach who likes challenges.

What is he afraid of?

What he is afraid of is that even if he rotates with nine or eight people, he will not be able to beat the opponent's ten-man rotation!

Just like what the two teams are showing on the court right now.

In the second quarter, Carlisle hoped that his Dallas Mavericks rotation would chase points.

Although eight points behind the starting lineup is not much.

But the first quarter of this game made him panic. The first quarter was too weird.

It was supposed to be double happiness but it didn't bring happiness but instead it brought sadness.

So the main players of the two teams faced off again, and he was not sure whether the game would be bad.

In this case, it is best to keep the score closer to avoid a sudden garbage time at the end.

But what made Carlisle very uncomfortable was this.

The Dallas Mavericks' super offensive combination of Barea, Monta Alice, Terry, Marion and Daniel couldn't break through the Seattle SuperSonics' full bench rotation tonight!

You know, whether it is Barea, Terry or Montalyse plus Marion, they are all players with outstanding offense. If this outside lineup is put into the rotation, it will be even more cheating!

These players can kill each other directly in single combat!

But now, this cheating lineup is actually blocked!

James Harden, Matthews, Danny Green, Ibaka, Gasol...

Looking at these five rotation players on the Seattle SuperSonics court, Carlisle's eyes widened.

Sessions and Tucker, the two regular rotation players for the Sonics, have not yet been used. Matthews and Danny Green will be used tonight.

Matthews knows that this player became famous when he played against the Kings at the end of the regular season. He can attack, defend, three-pointers and run. He defeated the Kings' quasi-all-star player Kevin Martin in his first start of the season.

But Danny Green...where did this come out of nowhere?

Is the defense that strong?

Monta Alice!

Counting offense alone, Montalyse's offensive ability has definitely reached the All-Star level.

The number one gun on the Mavericks' bench, but now, the number one gun on the Mavericks' bench is actually completely overshadowed by Green.

Even if he finally breaks through Green's defense, either Ibaka or Gasol will be behind him.

Simply cruel!

"The Seattle SuperSonics' rotation is so defensive!"

Anthony sitting on the sidelines was stunned.

Originally, he thought Tucker went off and replaced Danny Green to strengthen the offense. Unexpectedly, it was to enhance mobility during defense.

The Mavericks' three-gun is very popular in the NBA this year. Barea, Terry and Alice, not to mention the rotation lineup, even the starting lineup of NBA teams, it is difficult to find defensive players who can match up with these three players.

The Nuggets don't have it, and even James' Heat can't find such powerful three defender substitutes.

But the Seattle SuperSonics do!

And every one of them is pretty good.

"The Seattle SuperSonics' lineup is too deep. They can really find any kind of player!"

"The Seattle SuperSonics' bench is like a treasure. It feels like it can be targeted against any lineup."

"The Mavericks' backup three-gun lineup is the most difficult backup lineup to match up with, and they can match up so easily."

"There is no problem that the Heat's top eight players are the best in history in terms of hard power, but the top 15 players in the SuperSonics are also the first in history in terms of hard power. The lineup is too deep!"

"After all, Yes's training ability is too strong. They say that the future of the Sonics is the fifteen All-Stars in the future. I didn't believe it at first, but now, I think I do!"

Listening to the admiration of his teammates and other NBA players around him, Anthony kept nodding.

The Mavericks, with such a strong substitute lineup, were overwhelmed by the SuperSonics like this.

With such a strong Mavericks bench, it seems that only former SuperSonics player Barea is left with the ability to score.

"The feud between JJ and James has not been resolved."

"Yes, after all, JJ is still the team that left because of James."

Barea played quite fiercely against James Harden on the bench.

If Barea hadn't encouraged and supported the Mavericks on the bench tonight and rotated the lineup, the Mavericks would have been almost beaten.

James Harden and Barea had a fierce confrontation on the bench.

Barea has to prove he's better than James Harden.

James Harden also wants to prove that he is a better fit for the Sonics than Barea.

If Alice and Terry Marion were in good condition, Barea would definitely not have that many chances in this game, but they were all suppressed, and only Barea could still fight when facing James Harden.

Therefore, the Mavericks' rotation has a large amount of ball power concentrated in Barea's hands.

The matchup between Barea and James Harden is basically a 50-50 split.

James Harden can't guard Barea, and Barea can't guard James Harden.

But the game is not one-on-one, James Harden has Gasol behind him.

But behind Barea is Dampier...

Therefore, although the two people are 50-50 one-on-one, after one-on-one, the offensive efficiency of the two is completely different.

Faced with the team's overall weakness, Carlisle was desperate.

The team is already physically weak, and he cannot let the team's main players come back too early.

But under such circumstances, the team cannot let the rotation lineup play for too long.

Originally, according to his plan, if the team's rotation time could suppress the Sonics, he hoped that the rotation lineup could play for half a quarter or more.

Obviously, his plan failed again.

Don’t say half a quarter or more than half a quarter.

Even after only playing for five minutes, when the main players of the two teams came up one after another, the score on the field became 50 to 36.

The point difference between the two teams has already dived towards 15 points.

If Carlisle really followed Carlisle's plan and played for six or seven minutes before changing, the score difference would probably be closer to 20 minutes.

Fortunately, after the starters from both sides came on in the second quarter, there was no strong attack in the first quarter. Nowitzki, who only supported the attacks of his teammates, continued to make strong attacks to stabilize the Mavericks' decline.

Faced with Nowitzki's strong attack, Yes had no choice.

He could see the touch of the Mavericks players. Afflalo and Marion were unknowingly manipulated by him in the first quarter.

But Nowitzki's weird touch is really unexplainable.

Even if he could see Nowitzki's touch, it would be useless.

Nowitzki's touch is all low when he's on defense, and he's all high when he's on offense.

How to do this?

This feel distribution is simply incredible.

And Nowitzki is also the second player that Yes has encountered who has no way to defend in terms of touch.

The last player that Ye Si couldn't do anything about even if he could see the touch was his teammate Durant.

Durant's hand was jumping without any rules, and it was useless even if he saw it.

Durant is impossible to predict.

There is no need to predict Nowitzki, he always has a good touch when attacking.

However, although the Mavericks held on to the team's decline under Nowitzki's strong attack.

But Carlisle on the sidelines was not so happy, and even his face was still bitter.

Nowitzki's offense is now in great shape, but his defense and his physical fitness are declining with his age.

Why Nowitzki used himself to contain and support his teammates in the first half was because of his physical strength.

Why were the Mavericks forced to a tiebreaker by the Timberwolves in the first round?

It's also because of physical fitness.

For the Mavericks, Nowitzki's physical fitness is the most important secret weapon.

As long as Nowitzki can preserve his physical fitness until the last moment, as long as the Mavericks can hold on to the score gap before Nowitzki breaks out, at the last moment, they will not be afraid whether it is against the SuperSonics, the Lakers or even the Heat!

They defeated the Heat this season in this way, biting at the front and harvesting Nowitzki at the back.

Nowitzki's early harvest means the consumption of the Mavericks' game potential.

At the end of halftime, the score between the two teams was 67 to 55. The Dallas Mavericks, led by Nowitzki, even caught up by 2 points.

However, after halftime, at the beginning of the third quarter, after Nowitzki put away his edge again, the Dallas Mavericks could no longer hold on.

The effect of Marion's misplacement of hitting Ye was still bad. On the Seattle SuperSonics side, Ye's offense still hit Nowitzki unintentionally.

During the lineup rotation phase, the Sonics still comprehensively suppressed the Mavericks.

135 to 110!

When the game ended, the Seattle SuperSonics beat the Mavericks by 25 points at home amid the cheers of SuperSonics fans.

"It's unbelievable... Although I knew the Seattle SuperSonics could win this game, I didn't expect this game to be won by such a big margin."

Not only many expert journalists did not expect such a big win.

Carlisle didn't expect to lose so much.

Of course he thought about losing this game, but he really didn't think about losing so much.

And what's more terrifying than losing is that he still doesn't understand why Yes's defense is messy and its offense doesn't beat Dirk. Why can't this double happiness bring happiness?

Carlisle is really confused!

In front of the TV, James and the Heat players were also confused after watching the game.

"Yes is so messy in this game, but it can beat the Mavericks by 25 points? Is this the Mavericks, one of the so-called four super teams in the Western Conference? Are those super teams in the Western Conference so good? I'm afraid they are not all regular season players. Team, right?"

Are the Mavericks a regular season team?

James didn't speak, but he felt that what his teammates said made sense.

Otherwise, it cannot be explained that Yes can be so messy and still suppress the Mavericks in the starting lineup.

The Mavericks' substitute lineup is so strong that they can't even break through the defense of the SuperSonics' substitutes on the perimeter.

Thinking of this, James and Wade looked at Nowitzki hugging Yes on TV with a tacit understanding of disdain.

They have always looked down upon this guy who is now blown into a bubble.

That is to say, we can't meet in the finals, otherwise, hum.
