Chris Paul showed the advantage of the Rockets’ guard line at the beginning of the game. Harden and Paul, you can’t say who the focus is on defending. Because of these two guys, letting go of either is extremely deadly.

Just now Yiyang was just because he was fully targeting Harden at the mvp level, which caused Paul to easily get a scoring opportunity.

For the Mavericks offense, although Deron’s ability has indeed fallen sharply, he still has a threatening three-pointer. Harden didn’t dare to completely empty Deron, and Deron took advantage of this to get away with Yiyang. Although his ability has declined, Deron’s basketball IQ has not decreased.

Harden had to stay close to Deron, and the task of making up for Yiyang could only be done by others.

Yiyang did not play singles, but directly dropped the ball into the penalty area and handed it over to Dirk. Dirk singles Ryan Anderson, which seems to be a good choice.

However, after Dirk leaned in twice, Ryan Anderson still refused to give up! Dirk’s decline this season is even worse than Deron’s. He can’t do anything on the court except for one-handed shots. The Mavericks opponents were not strong in the last two games, and Dirk’s regression is not obvious yet. But in this game facing the Rockets, Dirk is showing his old age.

After two hits and unable to advance, Dirk turned over and shot a jumper. But this did not change Dirk’s fate, the German’s turn-over jumper is no longer full of threats. Under Ryan Anderson’s interference, Dirk shot the ball and hit the iron.

Deron and Dirk’s old attitude in key games is nasty. In fact, this is a problem that the Mavericks exposed last season. Carlisle’s release of this starter is also temporary. When Kuzma and Mitchell have grown to a certain level, the starters will definitely belong to them. Dirk and Deron are already weak.

But now, those two young men do not have the conditions to start, Dirk and Deron are also more powerless than last season. The starting firepower during this period was only supported by Yiyang and Hayward.

As long as Yiyang and Hayward can open up, the elderly Deron and Dirk can follow suit!

The Rockets attacked again, and Paul and Harden did the same. Harden pulled away, and Paul broke through. In fact, Delong and Yiyang also used this trick just now.

This time, Hayward kept an eye on it. He didn’t make a full jump, and if Paul scored the ball to Ariza, he would be able to rush back in time.

Paul did score the ball, but the goal was not Ariza, but Ryan Anderson, who mentioned the high position to set up a screen for him.

Anderson actually has only one role in the Rockets-to open up space. This mediocre white forward, the weapon for survival in the NBA is the three-pointer.

Big shooters may have been unwelcome in the previous era, but in this era of extreme emphasis on space, insiders like Anderson don’t have to worry about food. A few years ago, if someone said that Anderson could get an 80 million contract, it must have been brain drained. But last summer, the Rockets gave Anderson a four-year 80 million, a price that only superstars could get.

Anderson took the ball and shot, Nowitzki used his less than 40 cm jump to interfere, but it didn’t help at all. Three-pointers were caught again, the Rockets 6-0!

“The second three-pointer, this is the most difficult start the Mavericks have faced since the beginning of the new season!”

“The Rockets’ offense is basically done outside the three-point line and within the three-second zone. This group of guys have no interest in the middle distance. I think the Mavericks might be able to change their defensive strategy based on this.”

The commentators are a little anxious. The Mavericks will naturally have no problem playing against a team like the Hawks and Kings. But encountering a strong team, it seems a bit weak.

The on-site camera also gave a close-up of Yiyang who was breaking through with the ball, but from the big screen, Yiyang did not seem to be nervous about the current situation.

Although the offense just failed, don’t forget that the two most powerful offensive points of the Mavericks are Yiyang and Hayward, not Dirk!

Yiyang was advancing very fast this time, obviously not wanting to grind the position with the Rockets. He handed the ball to Hayward just after halftime. Hayward picked up the ball and accelerated, leaning on Ariza with his strong body to grind into it. Inside.

Hayward’s looks and skin tone usually make people mistakenly believe that he is not strong against resistance, but this guy is definitely a white version of LeBron James.

Just when everyone thought Hayward was going to kill the rim by himself, he made a back pass during the march and returned the ball to Yiyang, who cut in.

“Yes, the real end point is Yi!” Paul immediately commanded his teammates to make up for defense. Yiyang used a rugby posture to hold the basketball into the inside. At this time, Capela, Paul and Ariza were all surrounded by Yiyang. Around. That’s right, Ariza shouldn’t be here.

Yiyang shot the basketball with a throwing motion. Capela turned his head to control the rebound, but found Hayward leaping high, clutching the basketball with both hands, and dunking the basketball amidst everyone’s astonished eyes. basket!

“Gordon Hayward! The connection between him and Yi is simply perfect! First, he quickly drove the ball to Gordon, and then Gordon passed the ball back to Yi. Finally, he and Gordon staged an air relay again! It was incredible! Tacit understanding, this is the tacit understanding that the two of them have without running in!

Under the exclamation of the narrator, Hayward and Yiyang gave a light high-five. Indeed, Dirk is old, Deron is also old, and Gobert does not have too much scoring ability. But so what? Don’t underestimate the Mavericks’ offensive firepower for the Rockets!

In the first two games, Hayward and Yiyang added up, but they scored nearly 140 points!

Returning to the defensive end, this time, Yiyang personally faced Paul, Deron did not appear in front of Harden, but Hayward defended the opponent’s arrow figure.

“Damn it!” Paul cursed secretly, and the Mavericks’ defense change was really bold. He used a screen to attract the defense and then split the ball to Harden on the weak side.

This is a classic tactic of the Rockets. During the preseason, Paul and Harden used this trick repeatedly.

But Hayward was not fooled. He stayed in front of Harden from start to finish, and didn’t give him a chance to catch the ball and shoot.

Seeing this situation, Harden decided to dribble and attack on his own. He took a step in, and then immediately retreated outside the three-point line to make a shot. Harden’s retreat is very confusing, and most players are generally shaken. But Hayward, obviously not within the scope of that majority.

Harden made a jump shot. He didn’t know that he didn’t even show the slightest space. Hayward almost finished the defense against Harden’s face. Harden barely took the shot. The basketball knocked to the front of the rim and almost shot a three-pointer. Come.

“Gordon’s defense is really timely, maybe James himself would never have thought that his retreat jumper would be like this!”

In fact, in addition to Hayward’s outstanding defensive awareness, there is another reason why he was able to quickly block the ball just now, that is, Yiyang also likes to withdraw jumpers after a sudden step! Yiyang loves it in training camp. With this trick, Hayward will no longer eat it!

Based on his understanding of Yiyang, Hayward successfully predicted Harden’s next move. Harden is really similar to Yiyang in many ways. Otherwise, how could he be called “Yiyang with the dark skin and beard”?

The Rockets’ offensive failure proved that the Dallas Mavericks were not as vulnerable as people thought. After Gobert grabbed the rebound, he immediately handed the ball to Yiyang, which scared everyone on the Rockets to retreat quickly. However, Yiyang did not attack as fast as before. He pushed forward slowly, fast and slow, and Yiyang could switch freely!

Hayward did not wait for the ball outside the three-point line like Marion, Iguodala or Carter did before. He may be the small forward with the strongest singles ability among the players that Yiyang has worked with. In this way, Yiyang and Hayward also have more tactical choices.

Hayward stuck Ariza directly on the side of the free throw line, then raised his hand for the ball. The post technique at the mid-range position is an all-around outside skill, especially for small forwards. Part of the reason why the Mavericks could nail the Heat to death in 2011 was that James would not be back in singles at the time, and he was at a loss when facing Marion or Dirk.

This shows how important post-up singles are for small forwards.

Yiyang ran out of the three-point line with a light pass, Hayward blocked Ariza with his back to receive the basketball, and Ariza was ready.

Yiyang did not idle after passing the ball, but ran directly to Hayward, who turned his back and broke through! Ariza moved to block, but was completely stopped by Yiyang’s cover. It turned out that from the beginning of the fight, Yiyang was going to cover Hayward. This is a perfect duo match!

Get rid of Ariza, there is no obstacle in front of Hyde. He directly drifted and shot while traveling, and his body was slightly leaning back. In this way, Paul, who is only 1.83 meters tall, has nothing to do with him.

The basketball went straight to the net, Hayward scored a mid-range shot, and the Mavericks chased the point difference to just two points 4-6. Yiyang and Hayward clap each other, and the full strength of these two partners may be inspired by the Rockets today.

In the first two games of the new season, the Mavericks’ opponents are not strong, so Yiyang and Hayward actually did not give their full play. But today, the Rockets may become the first “early adopters” team.

Carlisle smiled slightly. Once Hayward and Yiyang played out, then the rest of the Mavericks would have no chance.

With the next goal, Harden borrowed Capela’s cover to break through, and Capela immediately went down. Harden then “feeds the cake”, intending to make an air relay for Capela.

However, the basketball has only just been lifted off, and the “suffocation tower” in Dallas has risen from the ground, confiscating the basketball! Capella hung the frame vigorously, but there was no basketball in his hands.

“Rudy Gobert, his height is really scary! Maybe he is the only one in the league, who can intercept the pass just like that!”

Gobert made a long pass from the backcourt immediately after the steal. Deron got the ball near the midfield line, dribbled two steps, and immediately took the ball. He knows that his current speed is already very slow. In order not to delay the fast break, all Deron can do is to get the ball fast. His quick shot seems simple, but it requires a very good overall picture to do it. Many opportunities for the Mavericks actually come out like this. Therefore, although Deron is old, it is not useless.

At this time, it was Yiyang who came from behind and rushed to the front to receive Deron’s pass. In the fast break, he is always the sharpest knife. At the rear of Yiyang, Hayward had already rushed to speed. After the white forward rushed to speed Ariza felt that unless he fouled, he had no choice at all.

Now the situation is very clear. Either Yiyang will attack the frame directly, or he will cooperate with Hayward. Either way, the only chance for the Rockets is a foul.

During this fast-paced transition, Yiyang jumped up suddenly, Paul pulled down Yiyang’s jersey, but Yiyang did not layup or pass the ball to Hayward, but threw the ball in the air. Beyond the three-point line!

The Rockets all turned their heads and found that Dirk had extended the ball from the three-point line, and there was no Rockets player within two meters of him!

“Defense!” D’Antoni’s desperate shout became the perfect accompaniment for Dirk’s three-pointer. The “German Chariot” hit a three-pointer and the Mavericks finished the lead 7-6!

“Dirk Nowitzki!” The shout of the live dj made all the fans stand up and cheer.

Gobert’s steal, Deron’s ball, Yiyang’s advancement and Hayward’s attraction, finally Dirk ends the attack.

Indeed, the Mavericks do not have so many superstars or burst singles scorers. But even so, you can never underestimate anyone on this team. They will always use their best way to help the team to the maximum!

Watching the Mavericks start the five tigers collectively back to defense, Paul sighed. All the people are soldiers, more flowers, the most terrifying thing about the Dallas Mavericks has never changed.

Yiyang and Hayward led the team’s offense. Gobert was able to completely dominate the penalty area. Deron and Dirk’s cold guns were also deadly. Such a group of guys are strong enough, let alone the Mavericks who are sitting on the bench. Kuzma, Mudiay, Mitchell and Gay are them. The media say that it is difficult for the Mavericks to hit the championship this season, but in Paul’s view, those media are just comforting themselves…
