Chapter 336 337. The Second Center (2 More)

Chapter 336 337. The Second Center (Third)

The Mavericks' lineup this season is very good. The team currently has six players scoring in double figures, and three players averaging 15 points per game.

The team has Jason Terry and Stackhouse on the outside, and potential rookie Devin Harris is sitting on the bench.

On the front line is Josh Howard, the defensive gate.

Coupled with Dirk Nowitzki, the popular candidate for mvp this season, the Mavericks this season are as dazzling as the sun last season.

As for the center players of the Mavericks, that's great! !

It is the famous Dampier who claims to be the second center in the West!

The second center in the Western Conference has handed over amazing data this season. In an average of 23.6 minutes of playing time per game, he was able to send out terrifying data of 5.2 points and 7.5 rebounds.

Liu Rui has always believed that Dampier's reputation must be outside, the inside dominance is too terrifying, and his personal potential is amazing.

That's why O'Neal was so scared that he gave up struggling in the West and chose to go to the East to survive.

After O'Neal joined the Eastern Heat, Dampier naturally became the number one center in the Western Conference...

It is worth mentioning that in the recent match between the Mavericks and the Heat, the old Shaquille O'Neal barely beat the No. [-] center in the Western Conference with one hand...

In fact, the reason why the Mavericks can emerge suddenly this season is that Nowitzki played the best season of his career.

So far, Nowitzki has averaged 37.6 minutes per game, contributing 27.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists.

If Nowitzki can maintain this momentum and the Mavericks' record has been maintained at the top of the league, then Nowitzki is likely to win the first Mvp of his career this season.

And there is another interesting thing about the Mavericks, that is, the jersey numbers of the team's main players are getting bigger and bigger.

25, 31, 41, 42…

Facing the league's No. [-] Mavericks in this game, the young players of the Bobcats were both excited and nervous.

The excitement is that the team has achieved four consecutive victories. If they can beat the league's number one Mavericks in this game, it will definitely be a very cool experience.

The tension is that the Mavericks are the best team the Bobcats have faced on their Western Conference road trip.

Although the Bobcats are in good shape recently, they still feel a lot of pressure facing this kind of team.

With the start of the game, the two sides also announced their starting lineups.

Mavericks:

Terry, Stackhouse, Josh Howard, Nowitzki, Dampier.

Bobcats:

Christie, Joe Johnson, Granger, Wallace, Okafor.

In this game, the Mavericks still continued their previous starting lineup without any changes.

But on the Bobcats side, Liu Rui chose to send Christie, who had just joined the team, as the team's starter.

In addition to the fact that this kind of 3D player does not need to have too much running-in with his teammates, it is also because Christie is facing the Mavericks in this game.

Regardless of whether the game wins or loses, Liu Rui also wants Christie's debut to leave a different memory.

After all, it is relatively easy to lead a team to achieve results, but it is definitely a long way to go if you want to win the hearts of the players.

With such a good opportunity, Liu Rui certainly would not miss it.

After all, Liu Rui has been a human being for two lifetimes. If anyone judges Liu Rui's thoughts by his age, he will obviously suffer a big loss.

What's more, the Mavericks' offensive firepower in the backcourt this season is also very strong. If Mo Williams is used, it will be the result of mutual explosion at most, and it will suffer a big loss in defense.

Looking at Christie, who had already played full of blood before the game, Liu Rui really couldn't find a reason not to use him as the starter.

After the opening, the ball was first jumped by the No. [-] center in the Western Conference.

The offensive style of the Mavericks this season is not complicated. The entire team takes Nowitzki as the absolute axis on the offensive end.

Whether it is Terry, Stackhouse or Howard, all three have the ability to shoot from beyond the three-point line.

Especially Terry and Stackhouse, two people rely on this thing to eat.

This also caused others not to easily double-team Nowitzki.

And Nowitzki's golden rooster independent shot point is very high, it is difficult to be blocked by defensive players in normal 1v1 defense.

Even interference has become difficult, let alone to block Nowitzki's unique skills.

The Mavericks took the lead to hand the ball to Nowitzki on the wing. After all the players pulled away, Nowitzki looked at Wallace, who was much shorter than himself, and didn't even bother to use his back. He directly chose a one-footed fadeaway jumper.

And Gerald Wallace's defensive method is also very strange. When Nowitzki raised his hand to shoot, Wallace didn't take off to block the shot.

Instead, he chose to interfere on the flanks. This interference method also made others feel incomprehensible.

Dallas home commentator: "Huh? Faced with Nowitzki's fadeaway jumper, Wallace didn't choose to block the interference from the front, but threw his whole body to the side. What kind of defensive routine is this?!"

"And the direction of Wallace's whole hand is not the direction of the basketball, it seems to be Nowitzki's face?!"

"This……"

This is exactly the defensive task Liu Rui entrusted to Wallace before the game.

Because Liu Rui knew very well that it was very difficult for Nowitzki's move to be blocked.

And Nowitzki has become one of the players with the fewest blocked shots in NBA history in later generations, and has always been ranked in the top five in league history.

As for the first place, of course it is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who is known as the Skyhook.

Abdul-Jabbar has only been blocked four times in his entire 20-year career, but three of those came from Chamberlain...

In the original statistics of the first period, the number of times Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was blocked was shown to be 6 times, but in the end there were two suspected fouls, so the final statistics were 4 times.

But in the four times of being blocked, three times were blocked by Chamberlain.

One of them was blocked twice in a row in the same offensive round...

So Liu Rui, who came back from later generations, of course knows how difficult it is for Nowitzki's move to be blocked.

What's more, there is still a big gap between Wallace and Nowitzki in height.

So Liu Rui's suggestion is to block Nowitzki's defense from the flank.

At present, someone in this league has already used this trick, that is, the defensive expert Badil known as Batman.

A true defensive expert who dares to be called very clean on the defensive end, without a trace of black hands!

As for why Wallace closed his eyes from the side, because even if Wallace wanted to close his eyes from the front, he couldn't reach it...
