The first adjustment Harris made during the timeout was to replace Alexander and Harvey.
Today, one of these two players made 0 of 3 shots, and the other made 1 of 4 shots.
It’s actually nothing if you can’t make a shot because of a bad touch, especially in a run-and-gun system, where you have far more opportunities than in general tactics.
But the problem is, not only are they not allowed to vote, but they are forced to vote. This is what he cannot tolerate.
You have to know that the reason why the run-and-gun system can be played is to find players with good touch on the court and let them complete the shot.
If both of them do this, it will not be run and gun, but random attack.
"Sun, you take control of the ball and speed up the tempo, faster than them."
After making the substitutions, Harris looked at Sun Hao and said.
He gave Sun Hao enough trust.
Sun Hao also quickly understood Harris's tactical thinking.
The Chinese team's defensive counterattack was very smooth, in fact, it was close to run and gun.
If we want to turn the situation around, we have to be faster than them.
This is the core idea of ​​the run-and-gun tactic.
Tonight's game is destined to be a marathon.
After the timeout, both sides made substitutions.
On the Mavericks side, Bell and Ollie replaced Alexander and Harvey.
On the Chinese team side, Battelle replaced Wang Zhizhi and Hu Weidong replaced Sun Jun.
In the Mavericks' offense, Sun Hao advanced to the frontcourt and called for Ollie's pick-and-roll.
As soon as the ball was opened, he shot directly from outside the three-point line.
Battelle moved too slowly and didn't have time to save the ball.
“Swish!”
Sun Hao hit the first three-pointer of the game!
First shot, first score.
"Cool~"
In the stands, Nowitzki applauded Sun Hao.
This three-pointer was quite thirst-quenching.
Nash smacked his lips.
Nowitzki is very fond of Sun Hao.
It's just a three-pointer.
Although it is indeed very beautiful.
There was also a burst of cheers at the scene.
In the last game, Sun Hao made 5 three-pointers, and many of them came here just for this.
The Chinese team played positional defense in the frontcourt, with Yao Ming holding the ball in the low post on the right side.
After Wang Zhizhi left the court, Yao Ming became the main attacking point on the court.
He is really thin, and he has no advantage in playing against Sanders after receiving the ball.
However, it was precisely this disadvantage that allowed him to show off his footwork. He made a fake shot and turned around to squeeze past Sanders and score from close range.
This series of technical moves made the fans at the scene wet their sleeves.
This move is not too difficult, but can a 2.23-meter-tall person do it?
Old Nelson's eyes lit up again. Why does China have so many basketball babes?
For a moment, he even felt like forming a Chinese army to play with.
18 to 9!
The Chinese team still holds the leading advantage on the field.
The Mavericks advanced to the frontcourt, Sun Hao continued to call for Ollie's pick-and-roll, and continued to shoot from the outside before Battelle's defense got in place!
Just one move, pick-and-roll three-pointer, it couldn’t be simpler.
But Battelle's speed was indeed too slow. Even if the ball was defended, the interference he caused was very limited.
The ball flew over Battelle's head and headed towards the basket.
“Swish!”
As a gold-level long-range sharpshooter and a silver-level pick-and-roll expert, Battelle's interference is limited.
Sun Hao took his second consecutive three-point shot and made it!
"That's so cool! Steve, this is my little brother!"
Nowitzki said as he pushed Nash.
It was the first time he saw Sun Hao play basketball live, and he looked so excited.
It is completely normal for him to have such a reaction. After all, he is from Europe. As the current European emperor, the better Sun Hao plays, the more proud he will be!
"OK OK."
Nash couldn't stand it anymore.
This is only summer league! Chill out, man, you're almost an All-Star!
More importantly, I’ve been in Dallas for two years, and you’ve never been this excited for me!
The Chinese team attacked in the frontcourt, and Yao Ming moved to a high position to provide support.
Sun Hao's consecutive three-pointers gave the Mavericks some momentum, and the players on the field became more motivated in defense.
The Chinese team's consecutive counterattacks failed to create any opportunities, and Yao Ming was forced to complete the shot from a high position.
His touch seemed soft, but the distance was a bit far for him, and the ball hit the front of the basket and bounced out, being caught by Sanders.
The Mavericks launched a fast break immediately.
Sun Hao and Jefferson were playing two on one in the frontcourt. He advanced to the frontcourt, turned around to look at Jefferson, then took a step forward and made a layup.
It was already difficult for Guo Shiqiang to defend against two opponents at the same time, and he was deceived by Sun Hao's turn of head, so he couldn't interfere.
Sun Hao scored two points easily.
14 to 18!
Sun Hao scored 8 points in a row, and in the blink of an eye the score gap was narrowed to 4 points!
Harris stretched out his hand and clenched his fist on the sidelines.
It is with this rhythm that the Mavericks' speed has been completely brought up by Sun Hao!
“He’s really great, I just know it.”
Nowitzki was not as excited as before, but he could not hide his admiration for Sun Hao in his eyes.
“Better than me?”
Nash asked.
Nowitzki was stunned for a moment, then realized that Nash was... jealous.
In fact, they have been comrades-in-arms for two years, and they are real brothers, although they are a little fake sometimes.
"You are still excellent. Your passing is much better than his."
Nowitzki said with a smile, and then patted Nash's thigh.
He is counting on Nash to pass the ball to him next season.
Nash smiled and nodded. That was somewhat plausible.
The Chinese team made another substitution on the sidelines, with Wang Zhizhi and Liu Yudong coming on to replace Battelle and Yao Ming.
Yao Ming was out of energy, and Battelle was too easily controlled by Sun Hao.
Wang Zhizhi asked for the ball with his back to the basket as soon as he came up, and then passed it to Hu Weidong who cut in, and the latter made a layup to score another 2 points.
In the stands, old Nelson nodded with satisfaction.
He and Cuban came here today to observe the players, including those from the Mavericks and Wang Zhizhi.
He has been wanting Wang Zhizhi to come to the Mavericks for a long time.
Facts have proved that Wang Zhizhi at that time also had enough strength to play in the NBA.
Sun Hao held the ball in the frontcourt again, and the Chinese team's defense expanded very far this time.
Obviously, Sun Hao's previous two three-pointers were enough to make people fearful.
After seeing this, Sun Hao continued to call for Oli's pick-and-roll.
After the break, he did not rush to shoot this time. After facing Liu Yudong, he signaled to create space.
Liu Yudong, the God of War, this nickname is enough to illustrate his status in domestic basketball.
At this time, the God of War was already 30 years old, and his knees had been injured all the time. He did not perform well in the CBA last season.
After a cross step, Sun Hao accelerated and broke through on the right.
Liu Yudong couldn't keep up with the pace.
Wang Zhizhi from the inside came over to assist in defense.
With the ball being attacked from both sides, Sun Hao had no good space to shoot.
But maybe he never even thought about taking action.
Before Wang Zhizhi came up to help defend, he had already passed the ball to the basket.
The ball passed by Wang Zhizhi, Sanders received it, and scored a dunk with both hands under the basket!
Nice assist!
Nowitzki was stunned at this time and he didn't dare to look at Nash.
My little brother Sun Hao, you can't slap me in the face like this!
Nash was also thoughtful at this time.
Originally, he had a good relationship with Nowitzki, and that was their first meeting that day, so Sun Hao's temperament matched his.
He also hopes that Sun Hao can come to the Mavericks.
After all, if he is to start next season, he must also have qualified substitutes.
It’s just Sun Hao’s performance, his accurate three-point shooting, and the ball just now.
It looked like an ordinary breakthrough pass, but it was much more than that.
Theoretically, the new Chinese player is not good at defense, so Sun Hao can continue to create space and shoot three-pointers as before.
Especially from the first two three-pointers, Sun Hao's touch was very good.
But Sun Hao saw a more advantageous point. With Battelle and Yao Ming both out, the Chinese team's inside line was very empty.
Dunking at the basket is always more stable than three-pointers from outside.
Top basketball IQ!
Nash had seen it.
He is not here to be a substitute, but to compete with him for the starting position.
It seems that there will be many stories between him and Sun Hao in the future, just like what happened between him and Kidd.
After the first quarter, the score was 24 to 22.
Under the leadership of Sun Hao, the Mavericks reversed the score.
Old Nelson had a lot of smiles on his face as he watched from the audience.
Three-pointers, quick subconsciousness, breakthrough skills, and overall vision.
Sun Hao is really suitable for the run and gun tactics, as if he was born for it!
It was really worth it to trade him with the 12th pick now!
He even had a hunch that in a few years, this transaction would be mentioned constantly by people like the Kobe-Divac trade.
In the second quarter, the two teams' substitutes were in a stalemate for a while.
When the main players came back, Sun Hao's touch was still the same and he made two more three-pointers from the outside.
Before the half was over, he had already made 4 three-pointers!
Jiang Xingquan looked both happy and worried.
What made him happy was that he would be the player he would coach in the future! What made him worried was the current situation. Sun Hao had completely changed the situation all by himself!
He directly signaled to double-team Sun Hao.
In the first game of the game, Sun Hao was double-teamed by Guo Shiqiang and Zhang Jinsong.
However, Sun Hao reacted really quickly. He took a step forward, and when the double-team was about to arrive, he passed the ball directly to Bell who was in the open position.
After receiving the ball and adjusting, Bell took an open three-pointer.
“Swish!”
They say good touch is contagious, Bell made his first three-pointer in the summer league!
And this is just the beginning.
In this quarter, the Chinese team double-teamed six times, Sun Hao passed the ball six times, and Bell received four of them. He made three of four shots and scored nine points in this quarter!
Thanks to Bell's unexpected performance, the Mavericks had widened the score gap to double digits at 50 to 40 after halftime.
This half was really exciting.
In the second half, the Chinese team recovered their physical strength after the break, and Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi once again played well on both offense and defense.
However, the Mavericks played with more layers than at the start of the game.
Or in other words, they actually executed the tactics Harris wanted to play.
Especially Sun Hao, his touch was still hot in the second half.
The score difference between the two sides has been fluctuating around 10 points.
In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Chinese men's basketball team 93-83 and won their first victory in the summer league.
The 10-point difference also set the smallest score difference for the Chinese men's basketball team in the summer league.
For the Chinese team, Wang Zhizhi scored a team-high 22 points and 7 rebounds, Yao Ming had 13 points, 11 rebounds and 6 blocks, and Sun Jun and Hu Weidong each scored 11 points.
For the Mavericks, Bell made 4 three-pointers and scored 14 points, and Sanders had a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds.
However, the best performance was undoubtedly given by Sun Hao.
His performance was even better than in the first game.
He made 7 of 11 three-pointers and scored a game-high 31 points, in addition to 5 assists.
"He played an incredible performance and we need to remember him, the little emperor from China!"
After the game, the commentator couldn't help cheering for Sun Hao.
