The Godfather of Basketball

The so-called go all out, and then exhausted, three and then decline.

The Rockets are playing in one go at this time.

The Mavericks were under the pressure of the home fans, and their own strength was a little weaker. In addition, the Rockets were so imposing that they were pressed to the ground and rubbed for a while.

At the end of the half, the Rockets had already led the Mavericks by 62 to 42 by as much as 20 points.

"This year's Rockets team is stronger than ever." During the halftime commentary, Miller, who has always been known for his conservativeness, couldn't help expressing emotion.

The Big Three plus a strengthened Yi Jianlian, and Artest sitting on the bench, this lineup really can't be played by others.

Back in the second half, the Mavericks suddenly changed the lineup, and Carlisle directly replaced Kidd and Dampier with Barea and Bass.

"Is this an early abandonment?" Brin looked a little puzzled after seeing this lineup.

"No, it's not that simple." Although Miller didn't see anything for the time being, his intuition as a player told him that Carlisle would not give up so easily.

Tang Tian was also thoughtful at this time.

Carlisle knows that for a coach with a top ten or even top five tactical level in the league, this lineup is definitely not giving up, but an adjustment.

What it is, you can only know after seeing it.

In the second half, the Mavericks' offense came back, and Barea advanced the ball to the frontcourt.

As a former member of the Rockets, he is very familiar with the Rockets' defensive system, directing his teammates to move while dribbling at the top of the ring.

Terry circles out and Barea passes the ball over.

Terry caught the ball and made a three-point fake to start McGrady, and then broke through with the ball.

At this time, the "Jet" was not only a three-point shooter, but also had a sharp breakthrough.

At the same time, the rest of the Mavericks were pulling apart at Barea's behest.

The Rockets' defense did not dare to shrink. Terry faced Yi Jianlian and made a beautiful change of direction to pass the opponent and score a layup.

As soon as the Mavericks changed their decline in the first half, they scored as soon as the second half came up.

The Rockets attacked, and Billups took the ball to the frontcourt, handed the ball to Yao Ming for support, and then signaled his teammates to start running.

McGrady got a chance with an air cut, and Yao Ming turned back and hit the ground to pass the ball.

"Snapped!"

At this moment, Barea rushed out like lightning and cut off the pass.

There was an uproar at the scene.

After stealing the ball, Barea accelerated with all his strength, leaving everyone behind.

At the beginning, he was able to stick to Iverson's speed, but this time he appeared as an opponent at the Toyota Center Stadium.

Billups was too late to catch up and watched Barea score a layup.

The Mavericks came up and beat the Rockets 4-0.

At this moment, Xibodu turned his head and looked at Tang Tian.

Tang Tian's attention was still on the court, and he had already seen some clues.

The game continued on the field. Yao Ming assisted Yi Jianlian and scored a goal under the basket, but Terry made a breakthrough and scored again.

McGrady hit the iron with a three-pointer. After getting the ball, Barea pushed a quick counterattack. Bass followed up and scored a layup.

After more than three minutes of the game, the Mavericks beat the Rockets 6-2, and the point difference was narrowed to 16 points.

Tang Tian got up at this time and called a timeout, he had already understood it.

"The Rockets were suspended. Carlisle is worthy of being a tactical master of the same level. Although the lineup is not as good as the Rockets, his adjustments are in place." Breen couldn't help expressing emotion at this time.

"Yes, play Terry as a strong point of breakthrough in offense, and strengthen steals and speed on the weak side in defense. If Carlisle is given a better lineup, I believe the Mavericks will not have this record in the regular season." Miller nodded in agreement.

"beep!"

After the timeout, players from both sides returned to the field.

The Rockets made substitution adjustments, Artest and Dragic played, replacing Yi Jianlian and Billups.

Seeing Dragic appearing on the stage, Miller and Brin were a little stunned. Tang Tian's employment is really a bit bold!

Pause back, Rockets offense.

Dragic held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Instead of handing the ball to Yao Ming, he gave it directly to Tracy McGrady.

McGrady called Yao Ming to a high pick-and-roll after receiving the ball, and the Rockets changed tactics immediately after coming back from a timeout!

One block, one release, after McGrady took the ball to the basket, he saw that the Mavericks' defense did not shrink, and after breaking through one step inside the free throw line, he immediately stopped and pulled.

Nowitzki was a little out of step.

"Shua!"

McGrady's dry pull hits steadily.

The Mavericks' offense was still Terry breaking through and switching to Yao Ming. Artest recovered the basket, and Terry gave the ball to Howard on the outside.

"boom!"

Howard hit the iron with a three-pointer and the rebound was accepted by Yao Ming.

Dragic holds the ball and advances to the frontcourt. The same tactic, McGrady and Yao Ming's pick-and-roll, this time the Mavericks shrink, and McGrady returns the ball directly to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming catches the ball and makes a shot.

"Shua!"

The ball was hit firmly again.

Carlisle frowned and thought on the sidelines at this moment.

Yao Mai's classic pick-and-roll, it's wrong to guard against any one.

Tang Tian simplified his tactics. He was given two cups of poison for him to choose to drink.

The Mavericks' offense was still Terry's breakthrough, but this time it was Artest.

After the confrontation, Terry had no chance for a layup and could only return the ball to Barea on the outside.

Barea catches the ball and wants to make a shot, but Dragic has already clung back.

They are both small guards, although their speed is a bit short, but not too much.

Seeing that there was not much time to attack, Barea made a three-pointer after shaking.

Dragic pounced a little slower.

"Shua!"

Barea's three-pointer.

4 to 3, this three-pointer made the Rockets' tactical adjustments not effective.

At this time, the live shots were shown to Tang Tian, ​​and the cameraman seemed to be questioning his substitution.

No timeouts, no substitutions.

Dragic still holds the ball to the frontcourt, and it is still a pick-and-roll between Yao and Mai.

However, the Mavericks' defense changed again at this time. Nowitzki and Bass sandwiched Yao Ming, and Barea and Terry sandwiched McGrady. This is directly letting go of other points.

McGrady points the ball to Battier in the bottom corner.

"boom!"

Battier's three-point strike.

Compared with Yao Mai, the shooting stability of role players must be worse.

Bass took the defensive rebound and turned to find Barea.

But at this moment, the fans noticed that Barea was closely guarded by Dragic.

Bath couldn't pass the ball, so he had to go to Terry as the next best thing.

But in the blink of an eye, the Rockets had retreated across the board, and it was too late for the Mavericks to play a fast break.

The Mavericks made a breakthrough, and the Rockets went to Artest to speed up the rotation.

The Rockets beat Yao Mai, and the Mavericks will defend Yao Mai to death.

If the Mavericks want to play fast, the Rockets will stick to your starting point for fast breaks.

"This is a contest between top coaches." Miller couldn't help exclaiming after watching the round of substitutions and offensive and defensive adjustments between the two sides.

Brin also nodded slightly excitedly.

In this league, there were very few tactical masters before, and there were even fewer opportunities for head-on collisions in the playoffs.

And now, Tang Tian and Carlisle, let them witness the same-level PK between top coaches.
