"When Barry was brought on in the second quarter, a lot of people were worried that he would be a defensive weakness, but he had no problem playing Daniels, and he was more able to open up space on the offensive end than Nocioni and Lore Deng. ”Yu Jia introduced: "Of the three veterans that the Bulls found, Christie did not make the playoffs, Grant rarely played, but only played a dozen during the shark tactics, and the best performance was Joan Barry, who scored a lot of three-pointers in the playoffs." ”A great role player who looks inconspicuous and gives his opponent a heavy blow at any point.For example, Derrick Fisher, as a point guard, has few assists, but he can provide three-point firepower and often hit key shots.The Mavericks attacked, and Harris relied on cover to rush inside, and was followed by Hayes.The advantage of 198 inside played out, and even one of the fastest guards in the league couldn't leave him behind in one step.Hayes defensively was smart, following along the line of the penalty area, keeping a distance to prevent breakaways, and putting Harris on the ball.The opponent's information has long been collected by the Bulls' scouts, and the players have studied it together before the game, and Harris eats on breakouts.Harris pulls up for a jumper, Hayes reaches for a shot, and the ball goes wide.David Lee grabbed the rebound with Van Horn and passed to Wang Jun.Wang Jun leaned on Daniels and turned around, looking for Du Hong with a long pass with one hand.Dujon finished the race against Dampier, and Stackhouse didn't dare to make up for it with Joanbari.Du Hong scored on the basketball, and Wang Jun sent the third assist.28 to 22.The Mavericks attacked, Harris didn't break through again, realized that the opponent's shrinking formation was effective, and changed his style of play.The player pulls away, and Starkerhouse singles.Wang Jun defended close interference, Stackhouse forced the ball to the three-point line, and Wang Jun stayed in front of him to interfere.His rhythm was disrupted and he chose to split the ball again.Daniels hung to Dampier, and the "second center in the West" took the ball and hit Hayes twice in the low post and couldn't squeeze it away.If he can't get into the basket, he won't be able to get his head, and he will take the ball in the low post to find someone.And it went out.Finally, Van Horn in the middle missed a disturbing jumper from Dujon.The rebound was picked up by Hayes and he immediately counterattacked.Du Hong passed it to Wang Jun.Wang Jun held the ball on the left side, brought it to the corner position to pull the ball, jumped past Stackhouse during the run, and scored a basketball with his right hand.30 to 22.Beaten 10-0 by his opponent, Johnson called a timeout.He sensed that the calf was in big trouble.With a record of one win and one loss in the regular season, the Mavericks seem to be not afraid of the Bulls.But after entering the playoffs, things are different from the regular season.It's mainly about defensive intensity.The finals must fight defense, the Mavericks are not bad offensively, but the defense is not as good as the Bulls.The Mavericks' defense needs to be driven by offense, because there is no real defensive pillar in the team, the offense can't be opened, the defense can't go up, and they are afraid of counterattacking.In fact, there were already signs in the regular season, and the Mavericks allowed Kobe Bryant to score 62 points in the third quarter.When playing against the Heat, Wade also scored 46 points.The Mavericks have weaknesses in the No. 2 position.Adrian can only defend, and his offensive ability can be ignored, so he can't pull away on the offensive end.When you go to Stackhouse, you will be burst into a sieve when you run into a super point guard, and his movement speed has slowed down.Daniels is not as good as before when he returned, and the Mavericks are weaker overall than they were in the regular season.If it weren't for that, the Mavericks wouldn't have let Terry start at the No. 2 spot against Suns defensive swart Bell.Johnson made a substitution after the timeout, with Howard up and Daniels down.He asked Howard to defend Wang Jun, and the inside line must be fast, pay attention to the help defense package, and can put Hayes to shoot from the perimeter.After the timeout ended, Johnson quickly realized it didn't work.It was a good idea to let Hayes go, but Hayes didn't participate in the offense in the fast break, grabbed the rebound and waited for half time, and his teammates had already shot.Positional BattleHayes doesn't come out of the low post, just where he gets into the basket to attract the defense.If the inside line goes to the bag, he can pick up the leak under the basket.David Lee went out to block the demolition, Wang Jun misplaced one step past Van Horn, and made a quick stop jump shot.In the next round, Wang Jun counterattacked against Starkerhouse, and made a quick stop and stepped back to shoot the ball.The Mavericks only scored a goal through Harris countering and making a layup, and the margin continued to widen.34 to 24.The Bulls went on a 14-2 run, forcing the Mavericks to switch back to the main force early, and Nowitzki replaced Van Horn.Zhang Cheng commented excitedly: "Audience friends, Wang Jun has scored 17 points, and his performance is eye-catching, and the Bulls will definitely get off to a good start if they continue to play like this." ”Yu Jia smiled: "He's going to take a double V."
The Bulls played smoothly with Wang Jun as the core, and Van Horn's defense couldn't keep up at all. ”Van Horn, who was born in '75, is currently only 31 years old, but he has reached the stage of retirement.He has one year left on his contract, a huge bad contract of more than $15 million.At this time, the Mavericks manager is ready to cut him, he can play a weak team in the regular season for a while, and he can't provide any help to the team in the playoffs, which is a pure defensive black hole.Nowitzki came on the court to block and hit a three-pointer against Dujon to stabilize the situation.34 to 27.On the defensive end, Nowitzki changed the defense quickly and was able to block Wang Jun, and Howard caught up to form a bag, and Wang Jun couldn't break through easily.Another man stepped up, and that was David Lee, a 2005 rookie who was recognized as the "little prince of mid-range shooting" and whose shooting was more certain than that of Lore Deng.Wang Jun attracted the bag and passed to Du Hong, who responded, and the latter transferred to David Lee, at this time David Lee ran to the right baseline, received the pass and was undefended, and the empty ball went in.36 to 27.With Lore Deng still on the bench and Nocioni not playing, the Bulls still have a way to keep the defense defensive.Wang Jun mainly defends Howard, and Joan Barry and Stackhouse are defensive but not shooting.If Stackhouse is single, even if he scores, it doesn't matter, his shooting percentage is never high, and he only shoots 40% in the season when he averages close to 30 per game.If he breaks through and can shrink the line, it's better than letting Nowitzki play, and now the defense against Nowitzki can only be Hayes.As long as Joan Barry is on the court, the Bulls have three three-pointers on the outside, and Wang Jun gets the ball, but he can't wrap it on the side.The Mavericks tried to counterattack and caught once, Wang Jun attracted Howard and Harris to defend, Wang Jun split the ball, and Du Hong made a three-pointer in the open position.After all, Duhon is the one who won the McDonald's three-point contest, and his main scoring weapon in high school was to catch and shoot, and he can't let him go.Starkerhouse made two breakaways and Joanbarry fouled him for a free throw.Stackhouse made all four of his free throws with his unique crouch-style free throw move.Joanbari was replaced, Nocioni came on, and Wang Jun returned to his customary No. 2 position.Soon in the counterattack, Wang Jun got another opportunity to face Stackhouse, broke through and caused a foul, and hit both free throws.It took an eight-minute break before Synric was brought on to defend Terry.The Mavericks didn't dare to play double guards, so Dujon played a little longer, and the defense Harris would not become a loophole.At the end of halftime, Wang Jun scored 19 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, which was very comprehensive.Nowitzki had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, which was no slouch.However, the Bulls led by 12 points at 55-43, with the role players playing better and the advantage in their hands.s:
