Chapter 34 The Weird Lineup
Chapter 34 The Weird Lineup
The fans in the entire Wood Center looked at the top of the court blankly. The scores of the two teams in the first quarter, the atmosphere in the entire arena was eerily silent for a while!
Bruce looked at the players who were wiping their sweat in surprise, looked up at the huge display screen above the field, and twitched the corners of his mouth tremblingly!
Throughout the second half of the first quarter, starting from Starks' scoring, the rhythm of the two teams changed dramatically.
In the test of Nelson, the "mad scientist", the Mavericks executed the classic tactic of "bombing" to the extreme.
The entire first half of the first quarter was basically completed in the rhythm of the Mavericks. The biggest turning point came after Starks scored consecutive three-pointers.
The Mavericks' offensive and defensive conversion speed was very fast, and the Warriors players were slowly dragged into the rhythm of "bombardment".
In the first half, driven by Nash, Finley and Jamison, who sometimes burst into the cold, the whole team felt hot. In just 6 minutes, the Mavericks led the Warriors 15:6 by as much as nine points.
Immediately, Carlesimo reacted quickly and called a timeout. After his unique "screaming" arrangement, the entire Warriors team stimulated the team's ability little by little after their re-emergence!
Carter's assault and Mills' mid-range shot made the Warriors draw closer to the score. When Starks overtook the score with his fiery touch, the entire Warriors seemed to be infected. Even Dan Pierre hit two mid-range shots from the high post on the left!
After the first quarter, the Warriors ended the first quarter with a 29:19 lead over the Mavericks.
And this score also made the fans in the audience and the soldiers of the Warriors feel incredible.
The Mavericks led by nine points and trailed the Warriors by [-] points until the end of the first quarter.
The entire first quarter was like riding a roller coaster, with a huge and somewhat weird sense of drop.
"Boss! These guys are so handsome!" Nowitzki shouted excitedly. Seeing the group of main players talking excitedly, he couldn't help feeling extremely eager to play!
Bruce watched happily, heard Nowitzki's heartfelt admiration, and admired his tone without the slightest jealousy!
In the previous life, according to the information obtained by Bruce, Nowitzki was a very competitive player, and he has been in the starting position after being selected by the Mavericks.
And now hearing the words of this "rookie", I can't help but have a deep understanding of his previous life's way of accommodating the team and choosing to cut his salary!
"Dirk! Come on!!" Bruce looked at Nowitzki, who was eager to try, and clenched his fists, secretly cheering for this big man from Europe who made his way to the NBA alone!
"Guys, you've done a great job!" Carlesimo rarely praised, and then looked at the team's substitutes in a circle behind him, especially to Nowitzki and Billups. After looking at it for a while, he pondered for a while, and said: "After the second quarter starts, you guys need a little time to recover your strength. In the second quarter, the lineup we sent is that Chauncey will replace John at the point guard, John will be replaced at the shooting guard. Dale replaces Vince."
Carlesimo looked at the reactions of several people. When he saw Carter's disappointed expression, he smiled and said: "Young man, your performance is very good, but you have to save some energy for the second half!"
As a rookie, I can get an explanation from the head coach. This treatment is already very good. Even if Carter played a shocking performance in the first quarter, this can't change Carlesimo's pre-match arrangement in the slightest!
"Adonal replaces Eric at center forward!"
Hearing that Carlesimo didn't call his name in the end, Wallace couldn't help showing a disappointed expression on his face. When he subconsciously wanted to leave his sight, a pair of bright eyes stopped him instantly !
Bruce has been paying attention to Wallace's expression, and when he heard Carlesimo's arrangement, he hurriedly looked at him.
At the same time, Wallace also showed a trace of extremely strong disappointment under his worried gaze.
It was impossible for Bruce to encourage him in front of these players, so he could only watch anxiously in the end.
Wallace gave a grateful glance, and Bruce suddenly let go of his worries, nodded with a smile, and looked at Nowitzki and Billups who were excitedly taking off their training clothes!
After Carlesimo's arrangement, the players who played in the second quarter changed, with center Adonal Foyle, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, and Chauncey Billups on top. The position of the point guard and the shooting guard are played by the three-point veteran Dell Curry!
The rotation of the entire lineup, even Bruce, who doesn't understand the tactical needs, can see Carlesimo's boldness in employing people!
The entire team completed a five-up and five-down rotation, and the small forward position was somewhat lacking. This position was forced to take the role of Donyell Marshall, who is 2 meters tall!
Judging from this tall lineup, Carlesimo must be trying to adjust the lineup.
When the whistle sounded for the second quarter, there was a loud bang in the arena!
"God, what did I see? 2m Adonal, 08m German rookie plus 2m Donyer, oh! God, can anyone tell me if PJ is in Are you kidding us?" The stadium commentator looked at the Warriors players who came on the field one after another in shock, and compared the main lineup of the Mavericks, which basically remained unchanged, and couldn't help but feel the strangeness of the Warriors' employment!
"F...K, these Oakland boys, this is insulting us!"
"That's right! Their rotation is a blatant insult!"
"Five up and down!! What did I see, PJ, who has always been a rigorous guy, actually made this lineup, is he crazy?"
Carlesimo was also a little embarrassed to choose this lineup, because of the lack of people at the small forward and the crowded personnel at the power forward, he was a little worried about the position of the small forward before the start of the regular season.
Even though Rodney Rogers can be a substitute for a small forward, his speed is still a bit slow after all.
In the end, the helpless Carlesimo had no choice but to make Donyell Marshall, who had a better shooting ability than the previous one, and Donyell Marshall, who was not bad, take the position of small forward!
A flash of anger flashed in Nelson's eyes, he glanced coldly at Carlesimo who was standing on the sidelines, and then loudly warned the Mavericks players!
When the Warriors sent a sideline kick, I don't know if it was Bruce's illusion. The entire Mavericks players seemed to have an inexplicable anger.
"John, have you noticed anything wrong with the Mavericks?" Bruce patted Starks who was sitting in front of him with some doubts.
"Mr. Downey must have made some arrangements!" Starks smiled and pointed to Nelson with a cold face, and then said: "PJ's lineup rotation must have annoyed this "crazy" guy!"
Bruce looked in the direction Starks was pointing at. As he said, Nelson, who was smiling at first, now looked like the twelfth lunar month in winter, with a cold face and an expressionless expression on his face. The Mavericks have launched an attack on the court!
"Boy! We meet again!" Jamison followed Nowitzki with a sneer on his face. He was still worried about being traded by the Warriors. Now that he had the opportunity to teach this rookie a lesson, why did he Why don't you ravage it?
"Uh... have we seen it?" Nowitzki replied casually, then quickly ran to the top of the three-point arc, made a high screen for Curry, and pulled away to the left!
Jamison got this reply, and followed Nowitzki a little depressed. Although he didn't know this guy very well, he was always serious and followed closely!
Chauncey dribbled the ball smoothly, looking for the open space of his teammates. When he saw Nowitzki set a screen for Curry, making the latter temporarily out of the defender, he passed the ball smoothly, and then cut inside. go!
Curry received the pass, took a step backwards, and came outside the three-point line. The moment Finley raised his hand in a hurry, the "killer" stared calmly at the basket in the distance, and firmly shot the ball Voted out!
"Shhh!!"
A wonderful hollow net was spread after the basketball and the Nets came into contact. The Warriors players who saw this scene all admired and cheered loudly for this veteran's wonderful performance!
"As expected of a powerful shooter!" Bruce praised Curry's three-pointer with admiration!
"Dell is really a competent substitute!" The stadium commentator has seen Curry hit a three-pointer countless times. This veteran who has been fighting for many years once again showed his "weapon" to the fans!
32: 19.
After Curry made this three-pointer, the difference between the two teams was further expanded.
Later, because of Curry's poor defense, Finley reached out to Nash for the ball after coming to the frontcourt.
And Nash, who had just been transferred to the Mavericks, hesitantly glanced at Jamison, who was in a better position, and then handed the ball to Finley, who looked unhappy!
Nowitzki was closely following AC Green. Compared with the last time he had a dislocation with Jamison, this time he felt very clearly the confrontation at the NBA level!
AC Green looked at the German boy next to him with some contempt. When he tested the opponent's strength for the first time and got the feedback of strength, the ridicule in his heart became more and more intense!
"Boy, are all you Europeans as sissy as you?" AC Green knocked Nowitzki away in another physical contact, and then ran towards Finley at the top of the three-point arc!
"MD!" Nowitzki's face was flushed with anger, and he didn't have time to curse, so he hurriedly followed!
Bruce, who sat on the sidelines and watched the confrontation between the two teams carefully, noticed the confrontation between the two of Nowitzki. When he saw that Green knocked Nowitzki away again, he shook his head helplessly and muttered wryly. He said, "I finally know why this guy was labeled as a "soft guy" by the players and fans!"
Dirk Nowitzki is a common product of European players, because the confrontation in the European arena is smaller than that of the NBA. These outstanding big men basically have a soft touch and a good free throw percentage!
And the one who best represents European players is Arvidas Sabonis, the "air architect" who is currently playing for the Portland Trail Blazers, this great center!
Green quickly screens for Finley, then pulls away to give him wide open space.
Curry tried his best to follow behind Finley, but what made him helpless was that when he was about to block Finley's breakthrough route, he was finally broken in by the opponent with a step because of his age.
Marshall, who was standing at the free throw line on the left and was about to respond, suddenly saw Finley breaking through the middle, and hurriedly took two steps across to block his route.
Finley bent slightly, and at the moment when Marshall was blocking his breakthrough route, he made a sudden stop, raised his hands high, and under Marshall's annoyed expression, he scored his third goal with a bang! !
