Chapter 165 Carlisle's strategy to break the situation, lost
In the second game of the Western Conference Finals, the Mavericks showed a serious attitude of 120 points.
Judging from the starting adjustment, today's Mavericks played a completely different strategy from the previous game.
Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle did not sit still, but directly transferred Terry and Peja to the starting lineup.
And this means that in the first quarter, most of the perimeter defense was given up. The Mavericks had to use Terry and Peja to provide firepower and kill the Clippers with offense.
Or, Carlisle wants to consume Lu Yi's physical strength early on strategically.
Terry and Peja's defense is not as good as Stevenson and Marion. Once the Mavericks take the lead in the first quarter, should the Clippers give the ball to Lu Yi, who is the most sure and can chase points?
If Lu Yi continues to target Kidd on the defensive end, and then fully fires on the offensive end, can Lu Yi's physical strength support the critical moment of the second half?
After all, it is a series, and Carlisle still has a chance to try again.
It is impossible for the Mavericks to win 48 minutes by relying on offense.
But the Mavericks can bet on whether Lu Yi can stick to the offense and defense for 48 minutes.
Judging from the effect of the first quarter, perhaps Carlisle really made the right bet.
Although the Clippers saw that the Mavericks' starting lineup has been adjusted, G1 has won it through a mature game mode.
So why did G2 continue to insist on this style of play, but act rashly and change their strategy?
There is no reason for the Clippers to adjust.
Therefore, Lu Yi still chose to press Kidd at the beginning.
After Kidd passed the ball to Terry or Peja, although the two did not directly make strong shots, they still chose some simple pick-and-roll cooperation and shot quickly.
The Mavericks have the foundation to play fast break.
Since the Mavericks have a deeper rotation than the Clippers, the Mavericks naturally have the confidence to play fast breaks to consume the main force of the Clippers.
Then, through the advantages of rotation, when connecting the lineup, rely on the substitute to play some advantages.
As Lu Yi pressed Kidd, the effect was not very good. After Terry and Peja, who were promoted to the starting lineup, had good scoring ability on the outside, the Mavericks quickly took the initiative in the game.
Before Dunleavy could make adjustments, Carlisle took the lead in changing the formation and replaced Nowitzki.
Mainly to strengthen the defense inside.
Because the Clippers also saw that Lu Yi should not be caught too much in the dilemma of burning physical strength on both offensive and defensive ends.
After the team needed someone to score, the Clippers first allowed Ariza and Boozer to score in the paint.
In this way, Nowitzki, who stayed on the court, became an optional breakthrough instead.
Carlisle made up for the loopholes on the defensive end in time, and the Clippers belatedly replaced Thornton, which was self-defeating.
The Mavericks have good defensive resources, whether it is outside or inside.
The Clippers actively choose to let other players attack the inside, which means that the Mavericks can focus more on defending the inside.
Even if Lu Yi occasionally gets the ball, he suddenly shoots a three-pointer with a cold arrow.
As long as Luigi isn't firing on all cylinders, the Mavericks can allow that to happen.
As the first quarter progressed, before he knew it, sweat was dripping from Lu Yi's forehead.
26 to 31, the Clippers did not play badly in the first quarter, but the Mavericks just fought against the Clippers and won by 5 points.
This is what Nowitzki didn't work hard to win.
Lu Yi played the entire first quarter. Although he didn't have much sense of participation on the offensive end, the Mavericks had Dirk Nowitzki in his prime in the second quarter. How could he play?
"We need to adjust, and then we will play at our own pace.
Lu Yi, you first relax your defense against Jason Kidd, and then we need your offense.
Eric will work with you and take the pressure off your ball handling and defense.
Marcus, your task will be heavy, we need you to restrain Dirk Nowitzki.
And Trevor, you will work harder in the second quarter, and I will find time for you to rest. "
During the break between festivals, Dunleavy hastily clarified the arrangement of the players for the second season.
Obviously, Dunleavy was still a little anxious after being pressed by the Mavericks for a whole quarter.
Obviously Carlisle's coaching experience is not as good as Dunleavy, but Carlisle is the head coach who sits firmly on the Diaoyutai.
The second quarter started immediately, and both sides were basically open cards.
In the Clippers' first wave of offense, Lu Yi singled Marion with the ball.
With the help of a back hit, Lu Yi scored toughly on Marion's head, helping the Clippers to quickly recover a three-pointer.
However, the Mavericks grabbed the baseline ball and immediately made a fast break.
Carlisle replaced Marion, not only to limit Lu Yi and accelerate Lu Yi's physical consumption, but also to use Marion to play a good role in the fast break stage.
Indeed, Marion is most familiar with playing this kind of rhythm game.
Gordon's defensive aggression is not as good as that of Lu Yi, and Kidd is relatively experienced against the young Gordon.
What Nash can feed Marion, Kidd can also feed.
Lu Yi just struggled to recover 3 points, and in less than 6 seconds, Marion got back 2 points.
The Clippers know that this wave of defense still has some problems.
It was mainly calculated by the Mavericks, thinking that with Nowitzki, they should fight positional warfare.
As everyone knows, Carlisle and his coaching staff have already calculated the Clippers.
The Clippers thought the Mavericks should play, but the Mavericks did the opposite.
In terms of decision-making in this wave, the Clippers were restricted everywhere and were completely at a disadvantage.
Fortunately, Lu Yi is really tough.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Lu Yi really wanted to win this game, and he felt upbeat today.
The Clippers looked back, Gordon had just passed the ball to Lu Yi, and Lu Yi took a tentative step in the three-point play, followed by a false shot, and Marion was shot by Lu Yi.
Lu Yi usually wouldn't fight like this, but at this time, the rules should be used.
Lu Yi took the initiative to jump up against Marion's block, confronted Marion in the air, and then waited for Marion to fall completely before making a move.
No matter how bad three free throws are, if you can really make a shot after the confrontation, there is still a 3+1 chance.
"Crazy, Lu Yi took the initiative to find a confrontation, and then made a shot. Is this trying to throw the ball in and fight three plus one?"
"It's crazy, Lu Yi knows the team needs him to score, and he helps the team chase points in the most incredible way!
This three-pointer is so impressive!
Luigi, as ever, scored with astonishing precision in the most incredible of situations.
By the way, the referee blew his whistle, and there is another chance to add a penalty! "
"Four points, Lu Yi will tie the score in one fell swoop! I believe that Lu Yi will be able to hit the extra penalty next time, so that the point difference will be completely tied!"
"Louie: If Lady Luck isn't on my side, then I'll be God!"
Usually, the move of fouling for the sake of fouling will make fans feel very shameless.
However, there is a situation where a foul is made while a shot is made, which will make the fans greatly appreciated.
People believe in the result more and appreciate the strong.
Basketball games are mostly shooting games, and those who can throw the ball into the basket are the real strong.
Three consecutive free throws are a three-pointer, and a two-pointer plus a free throw is also a three-pointer.
Fans appreciate the latter's performance more.
Judging from the results, the latter is rushing to shoot, not just to make fouls and use the rules to achieve self-scoring.
Now that Lu Yi made a three-pointer, most of the fans felt that Lu Yi had the confidence to make the ball, so they smartly seized the opportunity and made Marion a foul.
Obviously, Marion has just scored in the fast break, which is of great help to the Mavericks.
The Mavericks need Marion to show his talent on the fast break.
Then, it is also necessary for Lu Yi to cause trouble for Marion in some opportunities.
Such as foul trouble.
Marion needs to defend Lu Yi, and the harder he defends, the easier it is to get into foul trouble.
brush--
An extra penalty hit, 33 to 33, after Lu Yi re-entered the field in the second quarter, in less than 1 minute of the game, Lu Yi helped the team tie the point difference.
However, the Clippers want to win, which is far from enough.
Lu Yi can't always be so accurate, Lu Yi can't always get four-pointers.
The Mavericks are not stupid. According to Lu Yi's scoring situation, the Mavericks may increase their defensive intensity against Lu Yi at any time.
But before the Mavericks restricted Lu Yi on the defensive end, Nowitzki stepped forward to widen the point difference again on the offensive end.
Nowitzki doesn't need a three-pointer, he just hits two points and two points.
Camby single defense, right?The defense is awesome, right?
The golden rooster is independent, the signature is out, one is worth two, and the ball is scored with one swipe!
In this game, Dunleavy used Camby to defend Nowitzki alone, just as stupid as Carlisle used Stevenson and Marion to defend Louie alone in the last game.
A super giant can be defended alone, so it is not worthy of being called a super giant.
It wasn't until Nowitzki scored 19 points in the second quarter that Dunleavy realized that there was a problem with his strategy, which dragged the team back.
Of course, Lu Yi scored 23 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, his efficiency was higher than that of Nowitzki, and his state looked even more explosive.
However, no one knew that this was just Lu Yi's desperate counterattack and his performance of returning to the light.
57 to 61, after the first half, the Mavericks still lead the Clippers.
Lu Yi held up the score in the second quarter, but it didn't have much effect.
This will somewhat hit Lu Yi's heart.
Besides, after playing the first two quarters, Lu Yi is a human being after all, not a machine.
Even with halftime, Dunleavy felt that Louie should take a break early in the third quarter.
No, in just three or four minutes, Terry scored two three-pointers in a row, making Gordon dizzy.
When Lu Yi hurried back to the field to save the field, Peja made another three-pointer, directly helping the Mavericks to open the point difference to 10 points.
No one cares about Kidd on the Clippers side, and Kidd has no pressure to connect teams.
With Terry and Peja opening up the space and Kidd helping to drag the defense, Nowitzki quickly stepped up to take over the game and scored two-pointers again and again.
In order to better limit Nowitzki, Camby had to increase his defensive aggression, and accidentally committed four fouls.
Dunleavy could only replace Camby with Boozer, and the team re-entered the stage of attacking.
The problem is that Dunleavy replaced Lu Yi and returned to the court, which was originally for offense.
The Clippers' possession of the ball can only be given to one person.
Changed Camby, went to Boozer, and adopted the strategy of double-teaming Nowitzki. On the surface, it was a remedy for the past, mainly to limit Nowitzki.
In fact, it had the effect of Lu Yi being guarded by Boozer.
Lu Yi accidentally acted as a bait, and he could only attract defense on the field.
The Clippers even listened to Dunleavy's arrangement, handed the ball to Boozer, let Boozer single-play Nowitzki, and used offense to consume Nowitzki's physical strength.
Maybe the players who play the Clippers are also bewildered.
I don't remember at all, but in the second quarter, Lu Yi turned the tide and didn't lose so many points.
I believed in Lu Yi in the second quarter, but not in the third quarter.
No one gave Lu Yi the ball, and Lu Yi himself didn't force the ball. In the end, he was playing and Lu Yi was lost.
After all, Lu Yi runs back and forth on the field, and wants to reduce the opponent's score through defense, exhausting his energy all the time.
The physical strength is exhausted, and the ball has not been touched for a long time. The team is still in a situation of comprehensive backwardness, and its own state will naturally continue to decline over time.
When Lu Yi got the ball again in the second half of the third quarter and needed to help the team tide over the difficulties, Lu Yi was really numb.
With two consecutive three-point strikes, the Clippers basically lost the possibility of chasing points and turning defeat into victory.
The main score also came from the first half, but this time Lu Yi played much more tiredly than the previous game.
It was only in the body before, but this time I feel tired in the heart.
Dunleavy didn't see his problem clearly, but he saw that Lu Yi was out of shape.
Looking at the data, after three quarters, Lu Yi is 30+. Judging from the data, Lu Yi performed well.
So I couldn't say anything, I just felt that Lu Yi was tired, so I asked Lu Yi to rest on the bench for a while.
If with the support of other teammates, they can persist until the critical moment in the fourth quarter, then replace Lu Yi to play again, and the winner will be determined in the first battle.
But the next game was not as beautiful as Dunleavy thought.
Without Lu Yi as a shooting threat, the Clippers in the fourth quarter basically had no room to speak of on the offensive end.
Carlisle is not an ordinary person. Seeing the team leading by a big score, he lowered the tempo of the game and competed with the Clippers on defense just like the Clippers in the previous game.
Kidd, Stevenson, Marion, such an outside defensive lineup, combined with the upper zone defense, is enough to lock [-] to [-]% of the Clippers' offense.
Without Lu Yi's tough outside singles, relying on the old and weak Iverson to take the lead in the charge, there must be no way to tear a hole in the Mavericks' defensive system.
With more than 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Mavericks have broken 100 points, and the point difference between the two teams has also widened to 16 points.
Lu Yi still tried again.
The Mavericks know that Lu Yi has rested and may lead the team to comeback.
So Stevenson and Marion went together, double-teaming until Louie dreamed of saying their names.
Lu Yi didn't make a good shot, even though the ball came out.
However, among the other Clippers players who have played three quarters, few of them can seize the open opportunity and make a three-pointer that can chase points.
Not even two-pointers.
With the last 2 minutes left in the game, the Clippers are still 100 points away from 8 points.
The Mavericks broke through 110 points early, and they are not far from 120 points.
The Clippers have no choice but to withdraw the main force and prepare for returning to the home court early.
98 to 121, the Clippers lost a crushing defeat in the away game, and were beaten by the Mavericks by 23 points.
In this way, the score of the Western Conference Finals came to 1 to 1, and the two teams seemed to have returned to their original starting point.
