As the dunk landed, Chamberlain suddenly raised his head and raised his arms, his straight and slender body, his angrily opened his arms, and a huge V-shaped character appeared on the court.

"Victory Victory" Warriors fans shouted loudly, Mavericks fans were frightened, and they were also full of blood. This dunk was so satisfying.

Haywood's face turned blue and white, but Chamberlain rode his buckle. For a center forward, what else can insult people than ride a buckle? In particular, he paid a foul for it.

On the Warriors' bench, West and Iverson celebrating, and the group laughed loudly, and Barnes shouted sarcastically: "I want to give you a baby, you're so good."

Curry, Billups and Jackson rushed up together and gave Chamberlain a chest-matching salute.

The referee came over and asked Chamberlain to execute the free throw. He took the ball and looked at Cuban and shouted: "Boss, this time it's not a blank basket? Are you happy with me? Don't talk, I know what you want to say. This time I only deducted one, and it's nothing to deduct one person, right? Very good, more enjoyable in the back."

Cuban was speechless, and he set his sights on Danpier and signaled the latter to fight back against Chamberlain.

But how did Danpier strike back? Before he could say anything, Chamberlain spoke to him first: "Sir Second Center, be careful of my buckle on you. I will buckle you no matter what."

Danpier suddenly became timid.

The 62 Mavericks regained the ball.

Kidd jogging with the ball, he can't be fast. Everyone knows that the team's outside lineup is a big problem for the Mavericks. Their defenders are not fast enough. Kidd is 37 years old and can no longer keep up with the pace of the young point guards in the league. Butler is already 3 years old, Terry and Marion are both 3 years old and are no longer young.

The team can expect Bob E—but he is still young after all. Think about it, in the first round of the playoffs last year, the Spurs relied on their outside rotation and excellent offensive ability to restrain the Mavericks. This season, the Mavericks do not want to repeat the same mistakes.

Don't think that the "old" label can only be attached to the Spurs and the Celtics. The Mavericks, who have Kidd and Nowitzki, are not young anymore. In other words, in terms of data, the Dallas Mavericks show their oldness.

Last season, their free throws, turnovers and offensive rebounds were lower than the league average. The low level of these three "dynamic data" is the characteristic of the team's aging.

The Warriors use this to restrain the Mavericks. When the opponent's attack pace is slow, they have time to deploy defense and have more time to carry out round defense, which is the most unbearable thing for the Mavericks.

Kidd gave Nowitzki the inside, and Chamberlain pushed him wildly. The Germans couldn't stand this. He couldn't stand it at all and naturally could not attack. He could only hold the ball and leave the penalty area. Chamberlain chased him tightly and chased him all the way to the three-point line.

King No, helpless, Chamberlain became serious, and the strong defensive quality was unimaginable, so he passed the ball to Butler.

When Butler got the ball, the Mavericks fans became energetic.

Modern basketball's definition of small forwards is probably inseparable from keywords such as "scoring", "breakthrough", "fast attack", "outside shooting", "outside defense", and "sharing part of the rebounding tasks". Then Caron Butler is such a standard representative of small forwards.

He was constantly compared with Paul Pierce, who was as strong as Pierce and had even better running and jumping skills, but there was still a considerable gap in technical details compared to Pierce, who is known for his comprehensive and gorgeous offensive skills.

When he was in the Wizards, Butler played power forward for a while. This experience honed Caron's skillful low-post offensive skills, allowing him to have the top back frame ability among outside players. In addition, the shooting feels good, and the opportunity to open is quite accurate, but the technical details are still not exquisite enough. The fighting spirit is amazing and aggressive, but accordingly, he occasionally plays a role in the black hole of the court, and his ability to handle the ball needs to be improved urgently.

Butler took the ball and took a step back, then shook his hand and lowered his body's center of gravity and rushed forward, as fast as an arrow.

Jackson was slower, but Butler immediately passed him and rushed into the penalty area, but Ibaka blocked from the front.

Butler sneered and changed direction and was about to pass Ibaka, but another huge body pressed on him: Chamberlain returned to defense.

Butler was finally nervous and turned around and prepared to retreat. Jackson was waiting for him behind him. Butler's breakthrough just now was not to pass Jackson, but Jackson let him go.

In this way, Butler was caught in a double-team of three people. He hurriedly put away the ball. The experienced Jackson slapped it on and directly smashed the ball down, snatched it in his hand and passed it to Curry on the outside.

Curry passed the ball to Billups, and he followed him in a small circle. In this way, when Kidd and Marion were both in front of Billups, Curry leisurely appeared outside the three-point line.

Billups passed the ball, Kidd suddenly changed his expression. When Curry got the ball, he had no opponent around him. He raised his arms gracefully, bent his legs and then jumped up. His wrists softly flipped, and shot the ball out.

The ball slid through a beautiful arc in the air and then fell into the ring, "swish"

Hearing the sound of the basketball entering the net, Curry closed his eyes and smiled. He liked to hear this sound the most, it was so beautiful.

The rhythm of opening B2 made Carlisle a little unbearable, so he asked for a timeout.

Old Nelson smiled on his face. The disciples fought so hard not for victory, but to vent their anger for him, the coach. With such a disciple, how could he be unhappy as the coach?

During the suspension, Old Nelson urgently deployed new tactics. He drew lines on the tactical board and said: "Attack to the ball, kids, our next strategic idea is to attack the ball. You understand what I mean, right? Breaking the boundaries between offense and defense. We focus on defense, but we need to add offense elements to defense, and at the same time force the offense to contain defense content."

"The Dallas people are too old. They are not the Mavericks, but the Old Mavericks. So, we have to approach the players and force them to death and not leave them a point of survival."

"If Kidd holds the ball, then defend him from close range or even close to his body, and consume his physical strength at all costs. If Butler controls the ball, then snatch his ball rights. You must compress their activity space, weaken their movement quality, and cut off the connection between them. This is our next goal of defense."

Old Nelson still focused on defense, and Warriors players did the same, defense first

After the timeout, Carlisle did not make any substitutions. After all, it was only one and a half minutes to start. It would be too early to send an ambush on the bench.

Similarly, Iverson and West were still sitting on the bench.

Sharpening the knife

After the return, the Mavericks focused their offense on Marion and Butler. The two were connected to the front line, and Nowitzki became a gun mount. He was responsible for transferring the ball in a high position, while Kidd used his experience to cover his teammates.

The Warriors were caught off guard by them when they turned around. Chamberlain was taken to a high position by Nowitzki. Marion seized the opportunity to cut into the penalty area, turned around and jumped over Ibaka's head and scored two points.

Billups passed the ball to Curry and signaled him to break through and pass the ball. Butler hurriedly retreated to defend Curry's defense. Kidd was anxious and shouted: "Caron, just keep a target and don't let him shoot, it's okay to let him break through."

Butler's defensive awareness and skills are not first-class. His defense relies on excellent athleticism and defensive enthusiasm. He used to steal a lot because he had a pair of quick hands. In front of his defense, the ball holder should always pay attention to whether the ball in his hand is safe, because if he is not careful, he will watch a fast break dunk.

In addition, his contribution to the defensive end is only rebounding, and he averages six rebounds per game, which is quite considerable among outside players. This advantage was particularly obvious in the Wizards, because in the Wizards' fast attack system, a backcourt rebound often means a 6-second blitz.

But when it comes to the Mavericks, his rebounding skills are useless, and his teammates are too old to keep up with his pace.

Curry took advantage of this. He held the ball and ran forward quickly, then twisted his waist and changed direction, butler retreated again, which was his subconscious reaction.

Curry had mastered this in the video as early as the video. He dribbled the ball under his crotch and stabilized his body, then jumped up, held the ball out with one hand, and accurately sent a mid-range shot.

Haywood served Kidd, and Billups slid up and reached out to his arms to get the ball. This set was useless for a veteran like Kidd, who would turn it into an opportunity, hold on to Billups sideways, quickly change direction and pass the opponent.

Billups didn't care, turned around and caught up, but he still pushed and stopped him. Kidd protected the ball well, but it was much more difficult to move and needed to put in more energy.

Butler had to respond. As soon as he got the ball, Curry and Billups seemed to see the fat sheep's hungry wolf, and they rushed forward, one of them stuck him and the other reached out to intercept the ball.

This is the arrangement of Old Nelson. If Butler, who is impatient, gets the ball, the Warriors will force the ball to prevent and steal. Don't worry about him passing Kidd, because Kidd's shooting is unreliable, especially with 2 points, which is outrageous.

Kidd has good three-pointers, but he usually won't take action by himself, because he is a perfect traditional point guard and always gives his first offensive opportunity to his teammates.

Sure enough, Butler panicked. Although he struggled but was not intercepted, he also lost the opportunity to attack and had to pass the ball to Nowitzki.

Chamberlain waved his arms, Nowitzki passed the ball again, and the latter rushed forward, and Ibaka followed behind. He entered the penalty area and threw the ball. Ibaka stuck him in one step and then jumped up, slapped the ball down.

Under the training of Chamberlain and Bowen, Ibaka's defensive skills are getting better and better, and his blocking skills are getting better and better.

The Warriors seized the opportunity to conduct a fast break. Jackson grabbed the ball and handed it to Billups. Then Billups stuck Butler and passed the ball to Curry at the same time. Jackson blocked Marion, and Chamberlain and Ibaka ran to the frontcourt under Curry's leadership.

This is a defensive redemption tactic. The Warriors paid the most unsuitable Billups and Jackson to block the opponent's fastest moving speed. In this way, their best horses against the enemy's inferior horses will naturally have a higher winning rate.

Nowitzki and Kidd followed in time. The former was just a show. His defense was too unreliable, but Kidd's defense was pretty good.

From 1999 to 207, Kidd entered the league's best defensive team every year, four times in one team and six times in the second team. He is known for his physical entanglement and timing, and shows his skills in steals. This is also the basis for Kidd to launch fast attacks in his youth. At his peak, Kidd was not only a master of man-tapping defense, but also a perfect team defensive player. He is good at using assisted defense to disintegrate opponent's offense and quickly convert offense and defense.

Kidd can defend point guards like Paul and Deron, top-level points like Kobe and Carter, and even occasionally fight small forwards such as James and Anthony, but he has no tricks against big guys like Chamberlain.

Curry led the attack and passed the ball to Chamberlain after reaching the free throw area.

Chamberlain's speed did not decrease when he got the ball, and he made a layup directly with three steps. Kidd shook his head helplessly, giving up the luxury of continuing to defend, and watching his opponent's dunk. He knew that to stop Chamberlain at this time would be a humiliation.
