Doncic: Injuries make me weak! No wonder it's not Thunder's opponent, it's going to be finished!
This series really has to make a name for some players and coaches, Kidd has been really consistent in the playoffs this year, Hardaway basically didn't play in the regular season (before the Coke Cup injury), and the likes of Green didn't care at all, filled up the time in the east, gave Irving a solo lead, and in the second half Irving completely dominated the offense (by and large).
Let the East 77 face the ceiling defense, I questioned Kidd's decision in the first round, if Kidd does not insist that the East 77 defend so many times on the line George and Harden, maybe five games can end the game. In the second round, Kidd often defends a similar formation to the joint defense, and East 77 often stands in the assistant defense position to make up for the defense, in fact, this also applies to Harden, who is heavy and slow-footed, and it is debatable to let the center go all out, if the Coke Cup is not injured, the center can go all out to pounce.
Kidd's overall employment is still okay, except for G4, pauses and challenges are normal, and the so-called employment problem is actually not to blame Kidd, whether Hardaway can enter the decisive lineup, and Green's use, in fact, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Overall, Green can defend the SGA on the court is acceptable, but the playoffs as a whole are relatively poor and unstable.
Overall, the Mavericks role players are very good, but they need a healthy East 77 to drive them, there is no heads-up threat, the role players will have more shots and pressure, and the inconsistent play will also affect the whole body
And the typical example of the original talent mediocre and still learning Jordan can directly refer to Booker, although he learned Kobe, Booker has reached the realm of a grandmaster in fast handling of the ball and concise finishing without the ball, and it is not too much to say that he has learned all Kobe's moves
But because his original talent is not as good as Kobe's, let alone Jordan, he will still struggle in the face of a really strong team defense and fast rotation. In addition, he also has to be talented on the defensive end, and he has no talent and no attitude, which leads to the fact that in the face of the quagmire war like the Timberwolves, even if he frequently hits iron, his game influence is still much higher than him
In my opinion, the development direction of this kind of technical flow guard is not as good as the SGA's route is the right one, Booker can only practice the ball to the ceiling if he wants to break through the bottleneck, and the domestic basketball aesthetics or the Chinese classical philosophy behind it always advocates simplicity and believes that returning to the basics is the true grandmaster style.
But brevity requires talent, and Jordan O'Neal can finish in five seconds, just because someone else can do it. Sometimes when facing a talented defender, you need to play more complex to develop an efficient shot, Durant plays 90% of defenders are directly pulled, but you have to have a bow to the Buddha first
Dongzi SGA's stir-fried style of luck is contrary to the mainstream basketball aesthetics, but they just can shoot indiscriminately without picking the opponent. The real problem with this style of play is that holding the ball for too long is not conducive to teammates integrating into the offense, and it consumes too much physical energy, in fact, it is more suitable to be a top second leader who is responsible for passing and hard solution
