NBA: Defensive master, averaging five doubles per game

Although the Mavericks completed a big reversal in the game with the 76ers with Long Fei's extremely strong play on the defensive end, they finally retained the victory.

But through this game, many of the Mavericks' weaknesses were exposed!

Admittedly, this Mavericks team has the most fierce outside projection firepower in the league, and with the blessing of the Nohandcheck rule, they are even more powerful.

In the first half of the season, this was the case, and the Mavericks topped the ......league with their superior outside firepower!

But as the season entered the second half of the season, teams completed reinforcements, and began to study the Mavericks, a lot of problems were exposed.

First of all, the Mavericks have a strong perimeter group, but at the end of the day, it's still a jumper team, and as always, the Mavericks' offense relies too heavily on shooting, which makes the team's scoring less consistent.

If you rely too much on the feel, you will have a good feel and even a strong team, but when you have a bad feel, you will lose to a less strong team.

In addition, after reforming most of the season, the rules of Nohandcheck have been gradually understood by other teams.

While this rule may sound like a great favor for outside players, teams have found that the most beneficial ones are those who play with the ball and have a lot of breakaways to the basket.

The Mavericks are actually missing in that regard.

Getting rid of Josh Howard is a potential basket rusher, and the other players don't have too much impact.

If it is just a simple projection, the benefits of the new regulations are not obvious.

......

Also, on the defensive end,

bringing in Dampier and Long Fei and starting them makes the Mavericks want to change and become a strong team with a balanced offense and defense!

On the surface, the process has been successful.

After all, they have been at the bottom of the defensive level in the past, and their defensive efficiency in the new season is close to mid-range.

But in fact, the Mavericks seem to have a strong defense, all supported by Long Fei alone.

Long Fei's unparalleled individual defensive ability may be the strongest existence

in the history of the NBA! In his rookie season, he locked three of the four major quarterbacks in a row, and this kind of performance is enough to make fans sigh, what kind of defensive powerhouse this guy will become in the future!

......

However, behind Long Fei's strong individual defensive ability, the Mavericks' overall defense has not changed much.

Eric Dampier's rim and rebounding are limited compared to the original Bradley and Lafrentz.

Aside from Long Fei, the Mavericks' defense hasn't actually improved much.

In the first half of the season, the teams were still grinding, so they didn't play too subtle team attacks, but more star attacks.

In this way, Long Fei's individual defense can be very well reflected, and at the same time, it weakens the shortcomings of the Mavericks' team defense.

......

However, as the schedule deepened, and after entering the second half of the season, each team system was determined, and they played more and more team, and the Mavericks' problems were more exposed.

After two games against mid-table teams, it was very difficult.

Challenging the old rival Spurs away, the Mavericks lost 112-129, Long Fei's personal defensive statistics are still good, but the Spurs still easily beat the Mavericks with their team.

After that, although the Mavericks won two games in a row, when they set off for the Eastern Conference four consecutive away game to the Devils, they lost three of them!

103:107 lost to the defending champion Pistons, although the opponent is strong, conceding less than 90 points per game, the Mavericks scored 103 points, which is already good.

But equally, the Pistons' offense was not good, averaging only 94 points per game, while the Mavericks conceded 107 points, and the defense was quite poor.

After that, they lost to the Heat and the Hawks.

......

In the typical two games, Long Fei's performance has decreased by a magnitude compared to before, in addition to the ups and downs of his own state, there is also a big reason, that is, these two teams are launched on the premise of team offense, and the inside big man is the core.

Tim Duncan of the Spurs, and Wallace of the Pistons inside.

Long Fei has a hand in blocking the outside attack core, but when he encounters a team with the inside line as the core, he is not so easy to play, at most he can only take advantage of the opponent's inattention to make up for the block or something.

But this kind of extreme defense, use it once or twice, and the opponent will be on guard.

......

Under the ups and downs of the record, the Mavericks' advantage in the first place in the league quickly disappeared, and they were even caught up by the Western Conference opponent Spurs, and they were about to fall to second place.

In this way, the Mavericks' reputation has also been greatly questioned.

From the most popular team to win the championship before the All-Star Game, it suddenly fell out of the first echelon, the odds of winning the championship have been greatly reduced, and experts are increasingly less optimistic about the Mavericks.

"It turns out that it's not that the Mavericks were too aggressive before, it's just that the other teams weren't ready.

"Actually, the Mavericks are still the same Mavericks, they haven't changed much, they tend to play well in the first half of the season and start to lose results in the second half.

"Although they have a strong outside defender like Long Fei, when it comes to the playoffs, the most important thing is the inside...... Those who win the inside line win the world, and the Mavericks have no way to impact the championship without a top-level rim.

"The regular season was good enough, but when it comes to the playoffs, it's a completely different story. "

......

The good news is that after a period of slump, the Mavericks have stabilized their record and are no longer falling down, topping the Western Conference and neck-and-neck with the Spurs.

The time has also come to the end of March, and the NBA regular season has entered the final stage

, and the game has become more and more tense and intense! Finally, the Mavericks VS Lakers game that fans around the world are looking forward to has also arrived! The Lakers

' record is not good, ranking 11th in the West, and it is difficult to make the playoffs.

The reason why this game is highly anticipated all over the world comes from the last game of the season's "Long Fei VS Big Four Quarterbacks" series, Long Fei VS

Kobe! In fact, before this game, the Lakers had played against the Mavericks three times, but Kobe Bryant did not play in those three games.

The first two games were because of Kobe Bryant's injury, and the third game was Kobe Bryant's rotation.

In all three games, the Lakers lost without any suspense.

So the Kobe Bryant VS Long Fei series has been waiting until now!

......

Recently, Kobe Bryant finally got rid of the injury completely and played strongly, not only playing a variety of 40+ performances in a row, but the Lakers' record has also improved, from the third from the bottom in the West to the eleventh in the West.

In this game against the Mavericks, Kobe Bryant confirmed his start.

In this way, the topic that runs through the season can finally come to an end before the end of the season!

Will Long Fei destroy the four quarterbacks? Or Kobe Bryant will become the last guardian of the four quarterbacks?

Fans around the world will wait and see!
