In the second round, the King and the Mavericks took the lead in the battle.

Before the game, Adelman was doing mobilization work in the locker room. "Don't underestimate the Mavericks, they beat us in the regular season, and Nowitzki is still in his prime, so he must defend against this point..."

The Kings have rich experience in coaching staff and extraordinary vision. If you underestimate the Mavericks, you may have a price to come back. Every time you play against the Kings, the Kings have no obvious advantage, and the Mavericks' lineup is underestimated.

"LeBron, you start with No. 4 against Nowitzki, try to interfere with the shooting closely. Stephen should pay attention to breakthroughs. If Kidd is defending you, your speed is faster than him, and you should attack boldly. If Kidd is the main defense No. 2, King, defeat your friend."

"I can." Wang Jun nodded.

Kidd was in his second spring and was surprised to defend Kobe in two games, but defending Kobe did not mean he could defend him. He was familiar with all the characteristics of Kidd and was better than his predecessor. He had more abundant attack methods and more accurate shooting.

On the side of the Mavericks, Carlisle encouraged the players.

"The Kings are the top seed team this season, but I think the Mavericks are not weak either. As long as we strengthen our defense, we will have a chance to defeat them. Sean, if Peja defends you, you can play in a low post and use your tricks. Dirk, I don't think your scoring ability is worse than Wang Jun and James. The Kings have weaknesses in the interior, you have to seize these weaknesses."

Veteran Nowitzki nodded quietly, and a fire was burning in his heart.

From 2006 to now, he finally met Wang Jun again in the playoffs, and he wanted to lead the Mavericks to revenge.

Wang Jun, look at me, I am stronger than before, and I will never lose again.

Nowitzki cheered himself up and wanted to prove whether he was a soft boy.

He lost many years in the playoffs, and Nowitzki's evaluation is lower than that of Duncan and Garnett. Judging from his scoring ability, he is the strongest in the No. 4 position, and is even better than the Sharks O'Neal. He used to be only good at shooting. After being hacked into the eighth place in 2007, he practiced the Golden Rooster jump shot hard, which became a super trick. He can also ensure efficiency when he hits behind the low post.

No matter who is defending, he has confidence and scores. Nowitzki's pursuit of victory is unprecedentedly strong.

The players made an appearance on time.

Wang Jun showed up and the audience cheered.

His and James' appearance style is very low-key. He does not sprinkle magnesium to show off, only simple waves, no show, and all his energy is placed on the court.

During the warm-up, Deshen Stevenson came to James to provoke. "Coward, the second in charge, I will guard you to death today."

Stevenson is best known as James's archenemy. When he was still playing for the Wizards, he met the Cavaliers many times in the playoffs, so he has formed many enemies with the "Emperor".

Stevenson once mocked James as an overrated player and invented a celebration action of a specific meaning to insult the "emperor". The two's verbal battles were even involved in the entertainment industry. James' friend Jay-z specially wrote songs to insult Stevenson, and Stevenson's brother also wrote songs to scold James back. The two's grudges caused a lot of controversy.

James saw Wang Jun by his side and was too lazy to pay attention to Stevenson. He was really the second leader of the King this season.

Trash talk is now a skill that NBA is about to lose. James has always been stupid on the court, and he is more of a goal to hit his opponent.

Wang Jun was not so polite, and smiled encouragement from the side, "I have ambition, but you have to play, the marginal person... are you that rookie, right? What's your name?"

Stevenson's face changed drastically, and Wang Jun pretended not to know him.

He occasionally starts, but he is just a fake starter. He plays less than 20 minutes. Super substitute Crawford is more valued than him. He is just a blue-collar worker.

He opened his mouth, and Stephenson didn't know what to use to fight back against Wang Jun, so he walked away depressedly.

Wang Jun took the initiative to say hello to Kidd. Wang Jun respected his elder brother who helped him when he first entered the league. The two hugged each other and exchanged greetings for a few words until the game was about to begin.

The five kings: Curry, Wang Jun, James, Peja, and Yi Jianlian.

The five Mavericks: Kidd, Stevenson, Marion, Nowitzki, Perkins.

Perkins won the jump ball. When the Mavericks exchanged Caron Butler for Perkins, it became a big trick. He is a good meat shield and can go out to switch to the outside line. He is very active. Perkins has poor offensive ability, and the Mavericks are not short of scorers, and they even have too many scorers.

Kidd was transported to the frontcourt, leaning on Curry to protect the basketball with his strong body, and observing his teammates' running position.

The player pulled away, Perkins provided a cover for Kidd, Yi Jianlian replaced defense in time, Kidd attracted the defense and passed the ball to Nowitzki on the right, and the latter gave Marion a lob.

The person who defended Marion was Peja. He leaned back and turned around and threw in the middle. Even if James wanted to block, it would be difficult. After Marion left the Suns, his data dropped, and his three-point ability deteriorated, but this move was sure. 0 to 2.

Curry dribbled the ball and passed it to James through the half. The Mavericks were staring at him. Marion defended Wang Jun, and Stevenson was against James.

James took a small step to the right in the middle, dribbled the ball from his crotch to his left hand, and broke through and stopped to the left to jump. Stevenson's interference had an effect, the ball was off, and Perkins grabbed the rebound.

In the Mavericks' positional battle, Kidd slowly organized the ball, passed several times, and Nowisky got the ball in 20 seconds, facing James from the left.

Nowitzki moved his back and turned around in the middle, jumped back with one foot, avoided James' block, and hit. 0 to 4.

Zhang Heli introduced: "This move is amazing. Some people say it is a jump shot that will not be blocked, and James has no choice."

Yu Jia said: "The Mavericks are staring at people, Curry beats..."

Curry saw that Kidd was defending himself, so he dribbled the ball under his crotch to his right hand, and then dribbled the ball behind his back and took a three-pointer.

He was not slow and shook the space. Kidd didn't cover it, but he didn't feel good about it. The ball went out of the basket and Nowitzki took the backcourt rebound.

Kidd lowered his pace, and the Mavericks took another 20 seconds to stop taking action.

This style of play will not score particularly high. Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle makes adjustments to the Kings' lineup, and the slower they can be. In this way, the Kings players will feel uncomfortable and can also ensure that they return to defense.

Nowitzki pulled out of the outside to catch the ball and hung it inside. Perkins was about to fight Yi Jianlian alone, so he leaned forward and turned around and hooked in the middle. His movements were very stiff, but his strength was enough, and his tonnage was larger than Yi Jianlian. He avoided the defense and scored at close range.0 to 6.

Adelman looked serious on the sidelines and muttered in his heart.

The Kings' biggest weakness is that the playoffs begin to show, that is, the inside defense.

After Yi Jianlian entered the playoffs, his average data rose to 188 points and his shooting percentage was 473%. Felton played very well in the first round when facing Lawson, but this could not cover up his defensive weakness.

It was difficult for Yi Jian to defend Nene, and Perkins was much stronger than him.

Curry was transported to the frontcourt, Yi Jianlian and him played pick-and-roll in the middle. Curry moved sideways and stopped and jumped. Kidd failed to catch up. Perkins successfully interfered and the ball missed the basket. Nowitzki retreated in time to protect the backcourt rebound.

Passing it to Kidd, he slowly led the frontcourt again.

Wang Jun did not receive the ball in the first three rounds, and the attack was too simple. When he returned to defense, he rushed to his teammates and shouted: "Don't fight one-on-one, we have to run the ball and get the energy to defend the ball."
