While Sun Hao was warming up on the spot, he saw Scarlett looking at him.

Well, it's exactly the same look when I looked at him in the training ground before.

Sun Hao felt a sense of excitement that he had not seen for a long time.

During pre-match training, he felt that his feel was much better than usual.

"Sun, you're going to get 40 points today?"

After seeing his condition, Nowitzki leaned over and said.

"Don't breastfeed me."

Sun Hao waved his hand immediately.

Nowitzki is not Zhang Weiping, he will be finished after he turns his breasts over.

"Don't worry, I know, I'll pass the ball to you."

Nowitzki said and looked in Scarlett's direction.

Scarlett was sitting in the first row of the audience, and it was hard not to be seen.

Sun Hao sent him one or you understand my expression.

After the warm-up, the opening ceremony entered the scene, and the starting lineups on both sides were released one after another.

The Mavericks are still the regular starting five tigers.

Nash, Sun Hao, Finley, Nowitzki and Lafrenz.

On the Timberwolves, Billups, Szebiak, Garnett, Joe Smith, and Rasu Nestrovic.

The Timberwolves have excellent record this season, but more because they are well used in the joint defense and there are not many changes in the lineup.

The biggest signing was probably to sign Joe Smith, the protagonist of the "Yin-Yang Contract" incident like chasing a goddess.

However, you can easily see a detail from their starting lineup, their average height is very high.

Szebiak, who originally played as a small forward, played as a shooting guard, Garnett played as a small forward, and Billups, the shortest, was also 1.91 meters.

This kind of lineup is the most suitable lineup for joint defense.

Because joint defense is regional joint defense, when teams who do well transfer balls need to keep making up for defense, their height and wingspan determine the effect of the defense.

The game began soon, and Garnett brought together the Timberwolves players.

I don’t know what he said again, but the Timberwolves players all shouted Minnesota together.

Garnett this season really played the role of the "Wolf King".

The game began soon, and Lafrenz turned the ball back to the Mavericks' half and officially kicked off the game.

The Mavericks attacked the frontcourt to play a positional battle, and Nowitzki was destroyed by the pick-and-roll catch.

Nash picked and rolled the ball with Nowitzki again, and after he gave the ball, Nowitzki was double-teamed before he even launched an attack.

The joint defense of regional mobile, the joint defense of Timberwolves and the Mavericks have encountered all opponents before.

This is also a key factor in their ability to achieve such results this season.

Nowitzki's final turn turned back and failed to make a shot.

The Timberwolves' average height is also put in a lot of defensive pressure.

Joe Smith grabbed the defensive rebound, the Timberwolves did not push back, and Billups controlled the ball and drove the frontcourt.

The Mavericks play in joint defense to find defensive counterattacks, but the Timberwolves are in defense and then the success rate of the positional battle.

Each team has a different understanding. The Timberwolves' style of playing is more like a European team.

Advance to the frontcourt, Garnett played Finley single with the ball at a high position.

The existence of joint defense covers the weakness of the tall athletes' slow movement speed, and when they reach the offensive end, they have various misalignments.

Garnett swung his virginity and took a step towards Finley's jump shot.

During the training before the game, he angrily criticized Nestrovic for not playing in, but he still prefers jump shots if he is.

After all, it was also a jump shot, and his talent was strong.

Moreover, his flexibility is indeed excellent among big men. In addition, his height and arms are long, making this kind of jump shot difficult to prevent, let alone a small misalignment.

"Swish!"

The ball fell steadily over Finley's head.

Garnett took the lead for the Timberwolves.

Looking back, the Timberwolves continued to defend the joint defense, and the Mavericks transferred the ball well in the first half.

However, just as Finley took action, Garnett rushed over and his long arm interfered.

"when!"

The Mavericks failed to make consecutive shots.

With the Timberwolves' assisted defense and Garnett's defensive coverage, the Timberwolves' position defense is a bit unsolvable.

Back on the offensive end, Garnett played Finley again. This time he turned around and played in, attracting the defense to post a post Joe Smith, who received the ball and made a layup.

After more than five minutes in the first quarter, the score on the field was 12-5, and the Timberwolves had the upper hand.

They kind of restrained the Mavericks.

The Mavericks are good at running and bombing, but the Timberwolves have a high success rate of misplaced singles, and their position defense is too good.

The Mavericks cannot run, and the success rate of positional battles is low, so the situation is very passive.

As Garnett said, they are going to take advantage of their past shame.

Sun Hao's singles attempt failed and he retreated to defend in the backcourt.

"Come on! Come on!"

Scarlett reached out to applaud Sun Hao.

The situation in the Mavericks tonight was unfavorable, and she knew that Sun Hao needed her encouragement.

After seeing this, Sun Hao nodded and felt that his morale was back.

There are basically only two ways to break the joint defense, especially the Timberwolves' excellent joint defense.

One is an organizational expert with a positional warfare, and a mature system that constantly mobilizes the opponent's defense.

Because the purpose of joint defense is to defend 3 or 2 or 2 or 1 in the area, which increases the defensive intensity, but after being transferred too much, a chance ball will always appear.

The Nets and the Kings are representatives, the former has Kidd, and the latter is that everyone can pass the ball.

The Mavericks also have this potential, but Old Nelson has no targeted practice yet.

It is a bit unrealistic to ask them to learn new skills instantly like they were opened to Ren and Du meridians.

Another type is to have an absolute advantage one-on-one, forcing the opponent to double-team and then shoot the ball.

The Lakers basically have this kind of trick to break the joint defense. Kobe or O'Neal attacks hard, and then double-teams and shoots the ball.

This is what the Mavericks can do now.

The Timberwolves are tall overall, but they also have weaknesses in regional defense.

That point is Sun Hao’s old European acquaintance Szebiak.

At this time, Sun Hao could use it completely.

"That's your girlfriend? She looks pretty good."
