At 6:40 in the evening, players from the two teams entered the Phillips Arena. The Eagles' home game against the Dallas Mavericks was about to begin.

In the afternoon, Liu Mang not only took a look at Nowitzki's strength, but also everyone else.

Jamal Crawford, averaging 16 points per game, is the Mavericks' third leading scorer, but he is the Mavericks' most critical scorer besides Nowitzki. His three-point rating of 87 and mid-range rating of 85 are very impressive.

There is a certain gap between Jamal Crawford's ability evaluation of 84 and Jason Terry, the gap between a near-first-class star and a first-class star.

From a shooting perspective, Jamal Crawford is not much worse than Jason Terry in the regular season. He is on the same level, but Jason Terry is better than Jamal Crawford in the season.

His performance in the playoffs was better than that of the regular season, and his performance in the finals was even better than that of the playoffs.

Mainly because Jason Terry can pass the ball, people will only regard them as crazy knife, but ignore that if Jason Terry is willing to pass, he can win the team's scoring title in a weak team and also win the championship.

The team leads the team in assists, something Jamal Crawford cannot do.

In the playoffs, it is crucial to attract a double attack and be able to quickly release the ball when the opponent's defense changes.

In the Mavericks, Jamal Crawford's shortcoming of not being good at passing has been well compensated, because the Mavericks' current style of play is that the stars take turns playing in isolation. They have too many stars, so much that they have to amnesty Michael Finn

profit.

In addition to Crawford, Dallas' double ugly performance has been amazing this season. Josh Howard's ability evaluation is 86, offense is 85, defense is 83, and the three-point evaluation is as high as 83. He has excellent low-post skills, fast speed, and a wingspan comparable to the inside.

He is also good defensively, averaging 15 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals per game.

Marquis Daniels, with an ability rating of 82, has a completely different style of play from Josh Howard. He has strong breakthrough ability, but no shooting ability. He and Jamal Crawford are good at breaking out and shooting on the bench.

Averaged 9 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

There is also Jerry Stackhouse, the former Jordan successor with an 81 ability rating. After accepting the team's status as a supporting role, he made outstanding contributions and excelled in singles shooting with the Mavericks.

There is also Eric Dampier, who claims to be the second center in the Western Conference. His ability evaluation is 79, his offense is only 68, but his defense is as high as 88. His poor physical fitness is his weakness. When he is on the court, the Mavericks play very well defensively.

Future All-Star point guard Devin Harris, with an ability rating of 79, performed outstandingly, averaging 9 points and 3 assists in 20 minutes per game.

The Mavericks, with their balanced offense and defense, are a tough opponent.

Although the last time the Eagles lost to them was because McGrady didn't play, the Eagles still cannot underestimate the opponent's strength.

Especially Nowitzki has been in good form recently. In the past month, he has increased his average points from 24 points per game to 26 points per game. Apart from Kobe and Arenas, Nowitzki has the highest scoring average in March.

Facing this team that had defeated them before, the Eagles players were very active in making final preparations before the game.

…

At 6:58 in the evening, as Rasheed Wallace roared, Liu Mang threw magnesium powder into the air, and the two teams appeared!

For the first time in a long time, the Eagles sent out their full lineup, with Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown on the field.

The Mavericks sent out a lineup of Harris, Stackhouse, Josh Howard, Nowitzki, and Dampier.

Kwame Brown, one of the best defensive centers in the Eastern Conference, and Dampier, who claims to be the second center in the Western Conference, came to the center circle and prepared to jump the ball.

Becoming the only team in the league to double beat the Hawks, the Mavericks are very motivated. The Hawks have now defeated 27 other teams. Only they and the Jazz have not lost to the Hawks this season.

On the Jazz side, they feel that when they come to Atlanta, the Jazz won't have much chance, so they want to be the only team to sweep the Hawks in the regular season. That will give them a huge confidence boost!

Not only does the Hawks regret a few games every time they lose, but any team that beats the Hawks will be very excited for the next few days, and will also bring a wave of winning streaks, even after the Timberwolves defeated the Hawks.

, they all got a three-game winning streak.

And now is a critical moment for them and the Suns to compete for third place in the Western Conference. Being ranked fifth and playing the SuperSonics is not the same concept as being squeezed into the top three and playing the Clippers. There is a huge difference!

Although feudal superstition is not advisable, this is the American Empire, and the Mavericks also want to use this "law" to win a consecutive victory in the future. With 11 games left, they theoretically have a chance to win 60 games.

, they won a 6-game winning streak after defeating the Eagles last time, and they want to do it again this time.

The Mavericks are very afraid of the Hawks' deep lineup. Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady are also worried about the opponent's deep bench lineup. The lineup is worth 98 million, and except for Dampier, there are almost no junk contracts. Players are willing to spend money and spend it well.

The team is really untouchable.

The referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Kwame Brown pushed Dampier and pushed the ball backwards.

The Mavericks retreated quickly. Liu Mang received the ball and had no chance for a fast break. The Mavericks' ability to control the rhythm was very good.

Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt, and Stackhouse defended Liu Mang.

So positive!

In the last match, Liu Mang felt the difference between Stackhouse this season and Stackhouse, who just came to the Mavericks as a supporting role last season. He was very active in defense. Although he is a 31-year-old veteran, his physical fitness

Very good, and there are no injuries that affect his physical fitness. In the original time and space, he did not retire until 2013. The most critical thing that affects his data is not the decline in strength, but that no team is willing to give him this regardless of the record.

Inefficient scorers have the power to score points. Iverson's shooting percentage is low, but he can still lead the team to the playoffs. Apart from the two years that Stackhouse followed Grant Hill and just got the Pistons

Ben Wallace's year was always far away from the playoffs.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But now as a role player, Stackhouse is very good. He is active in defense, dares to shoot after receiving the ball on the offensive end, and is very good in singles.

good.

Facing Stackhouse's defensive strike, Liu Mang took a step back and made a gesture of sprinting to the right. Stackhouse stepped back repeatedly, trying to block Liu Mang's breakthrough in advance.

route.

Liu Mang stepped out ahead of the curve, but he only reached beyond the three-point line and took a three-point shot...

"Shua"

Liu Mang played against Stackhouse as if he was just playing, he wanted to get three points first.

Stackhouse was more than active, but his strength was just that. Liu Mang deceived Stackhouse into taking several steps back with a fake move. The fans at the scene were confused. This was because Liu Mang was too cold.

Stackhouse takes refuge from the cold?

A player worthy of being produced by Detroit...

During the transition of offense and defense, the Mavericks attacked. After Harris advanced to the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Nowitzki who was outside the three-point line.

Watching Nowitzki dribbling the ball like a seven-foot guard in isolation, the visual experience is not much worse than Odom and Garnett holding the ball and organizing offense.

Rasheed Wallace was very defensive and stuck very close, but Nowitzki suddenly got a chance to take a shot. Nowitzki flexibly half-turned like a defender and hit it, and then took it back.

A fadeaway three-point shot...

Come in too!

Nowitzki stuck out his tongue at Liu Mang after scoring.

The evil tongue of King Silver Horn appears!

The bosses of the two teams were commercially flattering before the game, but when it came to the game, the two were at loggerheads from the beginning!

Nowitzki's style of play makes it difficult for the opponent to counterattack. A power forward can shoot from outside the three-point line so accurately. Even if Nowitzki is not fast among the top power forwards, he can retreat immediately.

.

In the original time and space, when the Heat played the Mavericks in the 2011 Finals, the most troublesome part was that it was difficult to counterattack. The opponent's power forward was closest to the backcourt, and even if he couldn't make a shot, he would retreat quickly.

In this case, Liu Mang made a gesture and his next defensive strategy would change.

However, before the changes occurred on the Eagles' side, when the Eagles attacked, the Mavericks took the lead in making changes!

Liu Mang reached the frontcourt, and Stackhouse was very close this time. Liu Mang stepped back to make room for a breakthrough, but was blocked.

Liu Mang looked for Rasheed Wallace to pick and roll, and Nowitzki and Stackhouse immediately caught Liu Mang.

Liu Mang passed the ball to Rasheed Wallace, and Josh Howard immediately switched defenses. Rasheed Wallace then passed the ball to McGrady, and Harris switched to McGrady.

High-speed rotation of defense!

McGrady was surrounded by a bunch of people. He had no choice but to shoot a three-pointer...

Missed!

Dampier was solid and carried Kwame Brown to collect the defensive rebound.

The Eagles retreated quickly.

When the Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki had just received the ball and was about to continue playing in isolation, but he was guarded by Rasheed Wallace. Rasheed Wallace didn't care whether Nowitzki broke through or not, he just stayed behind.

Give Nowitzki a three-point chance.

Nowitzki took advantage of the trend and rushed inside. At this time, McGrady, who was guarding Josh Howard in the corner, came over to defend. Nowitzki began to pass the ball, and Liu Mang's defense switch also came!

Just like the Mavericks! High-speed rotation defense!

The Hawks learned this trick from the Mavericks and Bulls, and they do the same thing in return!

Finally, the ball reached Stackhouse, the most inaccurate point, and Stackhouse took a mid-range shot...

If you dare to shoot, you dare to shoot. If you shoot fast, you just need to shoot fast. Stackhouse missed the mid-range shot!
