Chapter 1060 I'm Willful!(1/2)
In this game against the Mavericks, Yeez hopes to study Nowitzki's weaknesses by observing the changes in Nowitzki's touch.
Regardless of whether you are a person with special hand changes or a person with ordinary hand changes, as long as there are hand changes, there will be shortcomings.
but……
Looking at Nowitzki who is now defending seriously.
The look on Ye Si's face was very complicated.
After completing the offense, Nowitzki and other Mavericks players were fully engaged in defense.
Compared with offense, defense is their biggest problem when facing the Sonics.
The Seattle SuperSonics are the strongest offensive team in the NBA this season and the strongest offensive team in NBA history.
After Milicic turned himself into a mobile pork belly, the Seattle SuperSonics' overall defense declined this season.
Even if Millsap and Durant's individual defense has improved this season, Milicic has now become a defensive weakness. This is a system problem.
Therefore, there was no problem with the Mavericks' offense against the SuperSonics last season, and there will be no problem this season either.
The key is defense.
Last season, the Mavericks lost because they had no defense. The only two defensive players the team could rely on in the entire starting lineup were Kwame Brown and Afflalo, without even a buffer in the middle.
Therefore, the Mavericks traded Josh Howard from the Suns for Marion this season.
Marion's joining is a special medicine that the Mavericks got to make up for their team's defensive holes.
In theory, after the Mavericks' defense has the special medicine of Marion, they have Kwame Brown in the interior, Marion on the forward line, and Kidd and Afflalo on the back line. In theory, the Mavericks' defense is enough.
Tough.
But this is theoretical.
Just like the Mavericks will stare at Milicic's defense as soon as they come up.
Nowitzki is the Milicic of the Mavericks!
Nowitzki's offense is unmatched right now.
But his defense...
It wasn't a strong point when I was young, but now, it's definitely a weakness.
Therefore, Nowitzki was not surprised to see himself being stared at by Yes like this.
After all, he knew before the game that he would definitely become a player that Yes would focus on taking care of in this game.
But Yes's look seemed a bit too blatant, making him a little... flustered and uneasy.
Some people don’t know how Yes, the strongest offensive player with the strongest scoring and strongest organization in NBA history, teased him like Kidd teased Milicic just now.
Yes looked at Nowitzki strangely.
Nowitzki looked at Yes with some anxiety.
For a time, the atmosphere between Yes and Nowitzki also became subtle.
Others naturally noticed the sudden subtle atmosphere between Yes and Nowitzki.
Old Nelson on the sidelines was very satisfied. Nowitzki was trained by him. He knew the problems with Nowitzki's defense very well, especially after Nowitzki's current defense has shortcomings.
This is his preparation.
If the Mavericks have to focus on Milicic and the Sonics have to focus on Nowitzki, in the end the Mavericks will definitely suffer.
Therefore, before this game, his arrangement was for Yes to find opportunities to play pick-and-rolls with Millsap and find opportunities to attack Nowitzki.
Rick Carlisle is also a very good head coach, and Nelson also knows this, and he must be defensive.
However, just like him, Milicic will always be exposed no matter what.
Nowitzki is always exposed on the court, and no matter how hard he defends himself, it's useless.
"Judging from the way Yes looks at Nowitzki on the court, he will look for opportunities to attack Nowitzki!"
"After the Mavericks acquired Marion and Kidd, their defense basically has no problems. The only problem is that Nowitzki is one year older than last year. The older he gets, the more difficult Nowitzki is on offense.
The better Duan is, the more his defensive problems will be exposed."
"Aflalo's defense is very hard. He is trying hard to stick to Yes's body and not let Yes have the opportunity to change positions and face Nowitzki. Afflalo knows Yes very well and defends very hard.
But this kind of defense treats the symptoms but not the root cause."
Teacher Zhang Lili is very confident.
No matter how Afflalo goes around, Yesi will find two more pick-and-rolls and it will be over.
Yes's first pick-and-roll with Millsap was resolved by Afflalo's efforts. Many professionals on the scene felt that Yes' would definitely continue to find Millsap for the second screen.
But what was incredible to many professionals at the scene was that Ye Si did not look for a second cover.
Instead, he directly took a step back, dribbled the ball from the hip and then directly pulled up. Facing Afflalo, who was a top-notch defender, he took action directly!
Instead of hitting Nowitzki, he directly pulled out Afflalo for a fadeaway jumper!
71…76…69…80
80!
A swipe!
Three point hit!
Seeing that after looking for an opportunity and failing to find one, Yesi directly hit a three-pointer on Afflalo's head.
In addition to the audience cheering wildly.
The players at the scene and the professionals on the sidelines were all stunned.
Especially Rick Carlisle on the sidelines and Nowitzki on the court.
What if you want to keep an eye on Nowitzki?
If you didn't fight Nowitzki, why were you staring at Nowitzki for so long?
Are you sick?!
Ye's attack was not arranged by Nelson.
However, Ye Si used his powerful offensive ability to complete this difficult attack, so there was no problem.
Nelson is not a rigid person. He will formulate tactics for the players, but he also encourages players to make their own ideas based on different situations.
So after being stunned for a moment, Nelson happily applauded Yes.
3 to 2!
Is this 3 to 2?
Teacher Zhang Lili, who just now said that Yeas would reasonably look for pick-and-roll opportunities with Millsap, was slapped in the face as soon as he said this.
However, Teacher Zhang Lili was very happy and excited after being slapped in the face.
"Awesome! Ye Si's personal offense is so powerful!"
"This is what we call the personal ability of NBA stars. Tactics are dead and people are alive. As long as you can hit the target, any style of play is reasonable!"
"And this is the difference between superstars like Ye Si and other ordinary players!"
Teacher Zhang’s face is so thick!
This can suddenly blow up!
Su Qun on one side is really ashamed of herself. No wonder Teacher Zhang can be called the best coconut flour in the country, but he can't.
The first attack between the Leafs and the SuperSonics was not very friendly to Rick Carlisle, who was well prepared before the game. He played out of common sense.
However, for Ye Si, since he can see his own hand, why must he play his cards according to common sense?
Now, he doesn't need to strictly implement the coach's tactical arrangements most of the time.
Take this defense for example.
When the Mavericks attacked for the second time, Yease did not chase and defend Afflalo like he did during the Mavericks' first offense. Instead, he handed over the responsibility of defending Afflalo without the ball to Rondo.
He ran to Marion's side and went to defend Marion.
Yes defended Marion, and Rondo went to chase Afflalo. When he saw Kidd, he was stunned for a moment.
YesIs this suicide?
Such a mess?
This is an initiative to give the Mavericks a misplaced advantage!
Yes, if you do this, Afflalo is out of position to hit Rondo.
Marion's Yes is also misplaced!
This happiness came so suddenly that even Kidd didn't know whether to give this misplaced opportunity to Afflalo or Marion.
Finally, he looked at Rondo, who was chasing Afflalo, and Yes, who had one hand loosely supported in front of Marion.
To be continued...
