This is the kind that can compete for the regular season MVP.

Moreover, the Nets and the Kings have better record than the Spurs, and there are no players with explosive data, and the chances are great.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were also released one after another.

On the Spurs, Parker, Steve Smith, Bruce Bowen, Duncan, David Robinson.

The Spurs are also very reliable in defense.

Popovich did not use joint defense. This defensive strategy was the same as last year and at the beginning of the season. He was defending three-pointers at home and at the basket, and gave a certain mid-range opportunity.

Sun Hao dribbled continuously and took a step back to look at the box.

This was a very deceptive move, and Smith was afraid of Sun Hao and rushed forward with three points.

Sun Hao lowered his head and accelerated his first step, successfully crossed Smith's defense and broke into the high position.

Without defense, he made a quick stop and took action in the middle distance.

"Swish!"

Sun Hao broke the scoring drought for the Mavericks.

Duncan continued to play Sabonis inside, and his hook shot after continuous steps went wrong.

Sabonis, the inside defense is really tough!

It is said that he is about to retire, but he is forced to fight O'Neal, that happened only two years ago!

This is rare for the stone Buddha to be suppressed.

However, it is not surprising that talents such as singles in the inside line within the three-second zone are more important than skills.

Duncan's tactical arrangement has been playing in the three-second zone so he cannot play his advantage.

Looking back, Sun Hao continued to play singles with Smith. This time Smith followed Sun Hao, but he still couldn't stop Sun Hao from scoring.

Although Sun Hao's move slowed down a little at Jordan's suggestion.

But that's relative.

Single-action shooting is one level faster than double-action shooting.

"Swish!"

Sun Hao takes action from mid-range and enter again!

2 to 4!

After he scored 4 points in a row, the Mavericks overtook the score!

In a defensive battle, Sun Hao made a clear stream of fire.

Popovich stood up at this time and made new tactical signs on Parker.

The Spurs attacked the frontcourt again, and Duncan no longer went to the inside to force Sabonis.

Duncan's free throw line supported, Smith took a three-pointer with the cover.

"Dou!"

Unfortunately, his move failed to make it.

In fact, after entering the playoffs, Smith's three-pointer began to get diarrhea.

His shooting percentage plummeted to 30% when he opened the Blazers in the first round.

Sabonis won the defensive rebound and threw it for the first time.

After receiving the ball, Sun Hao advanced to the frontcourt with Smith.

He was shocked to Smith with a sudden stop at the three-point line and rushed out.

He followed the trend and entered the middle distance.

Parker, who retreated from defense on the right, saw it and retreated directly to the basket.

After seeing this, Sun Hao stopped chasing the middle distance.

"Swish!"

The basketball is steadily placed in the bag and enjoys the smoothness.

Sun Hao hit three mid-range distances in a row!

In the future small ball era, three-pointers were highly praised, and Houston even developed a so-called "magic ball theory" under the leadership of D'Antoni.

It was a tactic that completely abandoned the middle distance and pushed three-pointers and the basket to the extreme.

Many Houston fans even proposed the theory that three-pointers are one more than two points, why do you need to shoot a middle distance if you can shoot a three-pointer? It is impossible to kill people from a middle distance.

But the facts proved that theories were useful in the regular season, and they all suffered from diarrhea in the playoffs.

The main reason is that the whole world knows how to prevent you.

Especially in the playoffs, the defense scale and the bearded whistle are no longer there.

No matter how awesome you are, you can't always have a high three-point shooting percentage against defense.

And because the middle distance is abandoned, there is even no offensive tactics to adjust.

If that Houston team meets this Spurs, those who can be beaten are called Dad.

This is also the reason why Sun Hao practiced mid-distance last summer.

As for the middle distance that cannot kill people?

You have to ask the Spurs in history.
