Vol 3 Chapter 809: Ideal is plump

After a timeout, the Mavericks played in the frontcourt and Nowitzki finally hit Butler's passing jumper.
The first goal was scored more than four minutes after the opening, and the Mavericks were a bit difficult in the second half.
Back on the defensive end, after seeing Tang Tian holding the ball, the Mavericks did not double-team, but used Butler to defend.
The ball in front of Butler was in place and Carlisle was overreacting in front of him. He quickly adjusted back.
Tang Tian glanced at Butler without directly attacking.
In terms of defensive ability and talent alone, Butler is much worse than Leonard.
The problem is that they practice hard together every summer. Butler knows his technology too well.
There is a chance for a storm, but not every goal can be scored as before.
In other words, continuing to attack will make his scoring efficiency decline.
The Mavericks didn't mean to double-team, Tang Tian reached out and signaled Davis to mention the high post for pick-and-roll.
Butler tried to get around the pick-and-roll, but Davis had a large body and managed to block him.
And Davis cut back to the basket after blocking, but Butler can only change the defense.
Tang Tian switched to Nowitzki.
The era of small has weakened the role of center. It has become more and more common to play small and big and get big men out of military training.
Tang Tian is playing Nowitzki now.
Nowitzki's offense is historical, and the golden rooster is almost independent, but his defense is average.
The peak period was very ordinary, and now it is even more difficult to get older.
Tang Tian grasped this point.
After consecutive cross-step dribbles, Nowitzki swayed the center of gravity, then he made a step to the right and simply stopped and pulled.
Nowitzki couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and he rushed out after Tang Tian shot.
"Oh!"
Tang Tian continued to feel, and then pulled in.
Personal score of 12 points!
In five minutes, Tang Tian has scored more than the entire first half!
The Pelicans overtake 4 points!
The fans at the scene are crazy.
This is vp!
Carlisle rubbed his forehead.
He was fortunate that the Pelicans did not let Tang Tian attack in the first half. Now it seems that Stevens has reservations in the opening.
Problems that weren't solved in the regular season, but still cannot be solved in the playoffs.
The Mavericks didn't have a chance in the battle, and Harris finally shot out of the box.
Butler said the Mavericks have run through completely, but without a good point guard, it is not easy for a team with all scorers to run in.
Jokic's backcourt long pass, but unfortunately Hollerdi's layup was destroyed by Butler.
In the frontcourt of the Pelicans, Jokic still sent the ball to Tang Tian.
Tang Tian hasn't missed the ball in the second half, it is not appropriate not to hit him.
Carlisle shouted and made tactical gestures at this time.
It's Tang Tian who is Butler's defense.
Davis continued to put up pick-and-rolls, but Butler still didn't get around, Davis was too thick and responsive.
But Butler did not go with Davis, but with Nowitzki to reach out and wrap Tang Tian.
This is Carlisle's tactical response, very accurate.
This sudden defensive change, if it is Tang Tian before, can only be forced to pass the ball to the outside players.
But now his vision of passing has become much wider. He raised his hand before passing the doubles and passed the ball directly from Nowitzki's right side.
A beautiful ground pass, Davis arrived just after the three-second zone.
Davis rejoiced at the moment he took the ball. He felt the feeling of playing at the peak of Stoudemire.
Take the ball, take off, and easily dunk with both hands.
The Pelicans continue to be strong, returning in the second half have played a wave of 14-2 offensive!
Carlisle only shook his head.
Tang Tian is now free to switch between scoring and passing, which is really hard to defend.
On the commentary table, O'Neal looked at Buckley and Smith, smiling like a 00-pound child.
"Do you know what I want to say now?"
O'Neill held back a laugh.
Both Buckley and Smith shook their heads.
"Well, Charles, you think the Mavericks have a chance to be black eight, Kenny, you think the Pelicans are like the Eagles."
O'Neal stretched out his hand as he spoke, making a movement that mimicked a female breast.
"I just want to say that your ideals are ... very plump, like this, but the reality ..."
He said to make Smith stand up again.
"Reality is like Kenny your waist, very skinny."
Buckley and Smith both laughed.
O'Neal has started to talk about the philosophy of life.
But I have to say that they overestimated the Mavericks' strength and underestimated the Pelicans, or Tang Tian's strengths.
The Mavericks really don't have many ways to take Tang Tian. Tang Tian can suddenly throw or pass or pass.
In the third quarter, he scored 20 points and 6 assists.
Under his leadership, the Pelicans beat the Mavericks a 40 to 19 in this quarter, 21 points in a single quarter.
If it hadn't been for their advantage in the first half, they would have been taken away by the Pelicans.
The game on the court is still going on, Carlisle was sitting on the sidelines at this time a little autistic.
He tried many ways to restrict Tang Tian, ​​but none of them worked. He thought he had enough coaching ability, but now he couldn't restrain a player.
However, this is not entirely to blame him, the Mavericks' lineup is still very flawed.
Leaving aside the lack of a reliable point guard on the offensive end, they have a bigger problem on the defensive end.
Both Deron and Nowitzki veterans are now defensive colanders;
Harris and Embiid, one slow and immature;
Butler's wing alone cannot support an entire defensive system.
If it is one-on-one, Butler's anti-Tangtian effect is pretty good.
But as long as the Pelicans 'offense turns, and the others can't defend, the Mavericks' defense will become a mess.
This is why Tang Tian seems to be able to play with ease.
If the opposite is a warrior who can switch infinitely, that's another story.
In the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Pelicans' bench group played, Ding Weidi and Boyang joined hands to play a wave of 1 to 2 ~ EbookFREE.me ~ directly pulled the score to 20 apart.
Carlisle replaced the main force to chase points, but the points difference was too large to recover.
In the end, the Pelicans won the Mavericks 106-91 at home, and won the first playoff victory.
On the Mavericks side, Nowitzki cut the team's highest 26 points, Harris and Butler each scored 19 points, Embiid scored 1 point, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks in his first playoff show.
On the Pelicans side, Tang Tian had 12 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals. Davis had 22 points, 12 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals. Jokic had 14 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists.
Stevens has a strong coaching ability, but after all, the playoff experience is slightly lacking.
He started ideally to get other players to find the state, which proved to be undesirable.
On the contrary, it made him understand in the second half that the playoffs are the stage for superstars. Even in the state, the superstars brought them together.
Knowing this, he won more than just this game.
