To be honest, this tactic is really exciting and practical, but Carlisle still underestimated Holiday's passing ability.

In the third quarter, Carlisle's tactics did not completely lock Holiday's pass, but Holiday, who was inexperienced at the beginning, did suffer a bit, especially when he was intercepted by the Mavericks twice in a row to complete the defensive counterattack.

At that time, the score was once tied by the Mavericks.

However, Holiday, who adjusted in time, never made similar mistakes again. On the contrary, near the end of the third quarter, he sent shells to Lian Dao at critical moments one after another, helping the Knicks to stabilize the score advantage at four points.

However, I have to say that Carlisle's tactical level is indeed very good. In the last match, the Mavericks did not have such a sophisticated defensive layout against Lian Dao. It was only less than a month later that Carlisle came up with such a defensive layout. , I really don't know what kind of new things Carlisle will come up with next time.

And it doesn't mean that this tactic didn't work completely. Carlisle at least disrupted the Knicks' offensive rhythm and suppressed the explosive scoring ability of other Knicks players.

In the fourth quarter, neither side's physical fitness was as strong as in the first half, but at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Lian Dao frequently shot mid-range fadeaways in double-teams.

Now he still has a certain physical advantage. At this time, he still has the badge bonus of "God's Backward" when he shoots a fadeaway jumper, and his hit rate is also extremely high, but the more he delays, the greater his physical energy consumption will be. , Insufficient physical fitness, the badge bonus of "God's Back" will not be available.

Lian Dao also led the Knicks to a 12:6 offensive climax at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

In one fell swoop, the score lead was extended to 10 points.

However, as Lian Dao's physical fitness gradually depleted, his shooting percentage also declined.

At this time, Marion implemented Carlisle's defensive strategy, closely guarding Lian Dao's shooting, and relaxing Lian Dao's breakthrough. Carlisle's purpose was very clear, which was to let Lian Dao break through, and then help defend the amazingly fast Chandler. Fill in.

Chandler showed his defensive strength in the fourth quarter. With his height and long arms and flexible feet, he can always bring great interference to Lian Dao's offense.

The Mavericks' collective defensive strength is also fully revealed at this moment.

To be honest, the defensive strength of the Mavericks this season is better than that of the Spurs and Celtics. The Spurs Duncan's movement has slowed down. DeJuan Blair, as a stocky insider, is not as tall as Millsap High, and even worse than Millsap on the defensive end.

Therefore, the Spurs' inside defense this season can still be effective against a slow-moving inside line, but facing a faster-moving inside line like the Knicks, their inside line pressure will be very high.

The Celtics Garnett will do the same. After the serious injury, Garnett's state has been declining every year, and the insider Perkins has been traded away. Do you expect O'Neal, who has been injured and injured, to defend?

Neither of these two players has been sitting on the bench for as long as the game, and the Celtics' fifth position is now purely relying on the big baby Davis.

However, the Mavericks are different. Tyson Chandler is only 28 years old, and he is at the peak of his body and technology. The key is that this year is still his contract year.

Tyson Chandler is a typical competitive player, so saying this is not a compliment to his big heart.



It's that he is not active in training, especially in physical training, he is very lazy. This guy belongs to the type of player who can sit but not stand, and eats talent.

But Chandler is very involved in the game. He is a player who only likes games and doesn't like training. Otherwise, his talent would not just be a blue-collar player.

In the fourth quarter, under the interference of Tyson Chandler, Lian Dao repeatedly attacked to no avail. Although this guy is crazy, his defensive strength around the basket is definitely at the top level in the league.

Although he is not like Howard, defensive data can be shown through blocked shots. Tyson Chandler's defense is mainly reflected in the interference with offensive players' shooting, which cannot be reflected in many defensive statistics.

Some players with fewer blocks and steals do not mean that their defensive strength will really be weaker than the block leader and steal leader.

The Knicks repeatedly attacked to no avail, but they did not let the Mavericks approach the score.

Under the defense of Stoudemire and Cousins, Nowitzki's shooting percentage also dropped seriously.

The two sides continued to put pressure on each other on the defensive end. Cousins ​​continued to fight with Chandler in the interior, and Stoudemire continued to compete with Nowitzki for a position. Every time Nowitzki turned around and shot, it was extremely difficult.

In this kind of fierce defense, it is basically difficult for players on both sides to maintain their shooting percentage.

In fact, the Mavericks are the most anxious, because they are still behind, but the Knicks' inside defense today makes them feel like they are playing against the Spurs, and every attack is extremely difficult.

Although Stoudemire's defense was not as good as Deng Daida's, the tough defensive attitude in this game did cause too much trouble for Nowitzki.

With the last 1.5 minutes left, the Knicks still hold a 5-point advantage.

"Fuck, you don't want to score this goal today!" Stoudemire gritted his teeth, and stuck behind Nowitzki firmly.

Now that the game is entering the final stage, the Knicks dare not double-team easily, otherwise it may cause leakage.

At this time, Lian Dao and the others could only trust their teammates and Stoudemire.

However, Stoudemire also became ruthless, and Xiaobawang still had a bit of ruthlessness when he became serious.

Nowitzki found that this time he couldn't stand the bully! How does Little Overlord say this season is also at his peak, and he is also the player closest to Nowitzki in terms of overall performance this season.

Although Nowitzki's internal strength is better, he can't beat Stoudemire every time.

Stoudemire stood firm and prevented Nowitzki from advancing another half step.

Lian Dao defended by Sean Marion's side, but part of his attention was on Stoudemire.

come on! Stoudemire! withstand!

Nowitzki found that he couldn't stand it, and wanted to repeat the old trick. Since he couldn't stand it, I turned around and broke through!

But this time, Stoudemire had already taken precautions.

The moment Nowitzki turned around, Stoudemire reached out and patted the basketball on Nowitzki's waist.

"If it is shot, who will get the key ball?"

As soon as Jeff Van Gundy's voice fell, Lian Dao pounced, holding the basketball firmly under his body.

Nowitzki also bent down to fight for the basketball in Lian Dao's arms. The game has reached this point. It is estimated that no one will want to give up the victory of this game.

But Lian Dao didn't feel nervous at all. When Nowitzki fell on him to fight for the basketball, Lian Dao found a passing route and threw the ball over.

"Holiday receives a pass from Sickle!"

When Holiday received the basketball, he immediately counterattacked. He wanted to break through and score a layup, but Jason Terry caught up at this time.

Therefore, it was time for Holiday to make a layup and change to a backward pass.

Cousins' speed was astonishing, he threw away Chandler, and after receiving a pass from Holiday, he took three steps, took off in the three-second zone, and ended the attack with a domineering dunk.





"The Knicks have a seven-point lead, and the two sides are still fighting hand-to-hand. It is obviously a regular season, but the intensity is no less than that of the playoffs. However, the current form of the Mavericks on the field is very unfavorable. 1 minute It's not an easy task for the Mavericks to catch up with 7 points!"

"Coach Carlisle wants to use Dirk's unsolvable mid-range shot to solve the battle, but Dirk is also human ~www.mtlnovel.com~ He can't be in the best condition all the time, and he also underestimates Amare's resilience in this game!"

Xiao Si pulled up Lian Dao who was lying on the floor, and the two clapped hands in celebration.

And the players of the Mavericks also knew at this time that they might really be unable to recover, and everyone drooped their heads.

The morale of the Mavericks fell to the bottom, and even Chandler, who spoke wild words before the game, was silent at this time.

In the last 32.4 seconds of the game, Lian Dao broke through with the ball and hit the basket. Tyson Chandler met him fiercely.

But Lian Dao is fearless. Today, both Tyson Chandler and Sean Marion were enraged by Lian Dao, so their defense against Lian Dao was particularly fierce.

But if they wanted to scare Lian Dao in this way, then they were really wrong.

The more fierce the defense, the more it can arouse Lian Dao's fighting spirit, and the more Lian Daojue wants to kill them.
