Rick Carlisle has been using Stevenson as a fake starter, and Stevenson's main job on the court is defense.
Sean Marion and Jason Kidd's outside attack power is not very good.
Therefore, the biggest problem with this lineup is the lack of output, and there is no way to do it. They lack Caron Butler, the core of the outside attack.
But if Stevenson feels good in any game, Carlisle will extend his playing time.
Conversely, Carlisle will increase the playing time of Jason Terry and Barea.
But the problem is, in that case, the Mavericks' perimeter defense is too fragile, especially against a team with a strong perimeter like the Knicks.
"As for the Knicks, oh, D'Antoni has changed again, the point guard is still Jrue Holiday, the shooting guard is Danny Green, the small forward Lian Dao Sickle, the power forward Amare Stade Meyer, the center is no longer the previous Cousins, but replaced by the 36-year-old champion center Rasheed Wallace with rich experience in the finals."
Before the start of the game, Kenny Smith seized the time to introduce the starting players of both sides to the fans.
The same is true in CCTV's live broadcast room.
However, in order to let the fans clearly understand the Knicks' changes, and also to let Yao Ming adapt to the commentary rhythm, Mr. Zhang Lili asked a question.
"Dayao, you should understand why the Knicks replaced Rasheed Wallace, right?"
Yao Ming nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, it's actually easy to understand."
"Cousins ??is estimated to be the best and most talented inside player the Knicks got last summer, but no matter how good Cousins ??is, he can't get rid of the problem of lack of game experience, and it's still the finals. Competition experience."
"Moreover, Cousins' character has always been flawed. In order to make the game more stable, D'Antoni certainly cannot let a rookie start the finals as soon as he comes up."
"Of course, although Cousins ??is not a starter, his playing time will not be reduced too much. After all, Wallace is 36 years old, and his physical fitness is not enough to support him for too long. And in the last few finals, After Cousins ??adapts to the rhythm of the game, he is likely to be mentioned in the starting lineup!"
Mr. Zhang Lili also nodded in agreement. What Yao Ming said was what he wanted to say.
The game officially started, and the referee threw the ball high in the midfield.
Chandler and Stoudemire jumped up at the same time, fighting for the ball!
But in the end it was Tyson Chandler who was taller and helped the Mavericks scrimmage the ball to Shawn Marion.
After Sean Marion dribbled upfield, he handed the ball to the Mavericks' brain, Jason Kidd.
Kidd stood outside the three-point line, dribbling the ball while directing the players to move.
Although it felt that Kidd's dribbling was careless, Holiday did not dare to step forward to steal.
On the surface, the old fox's dribbling is full of flaws, but behind each of his flaws, there is enough space for him to counterattack.
Once Holiday couldn't bear the temptation to step forward to steal, it would be in Kidd's arms.
This is a trick he uses often when he is facing off with Westbrook, and it pays off every game.
But obviously, Holiday is not that reckless guy like Westbrook. Although he didn't see the deep meaning behind Kidd's flaws, he has a feeling in his heart that things are definitely not as simple as they appear on the surface.
Although Holiday is not as experienced as Kidd, he is vigilant and smart enough to not be fooled.
At this time, Kidd also found that Holiday was not fooled like Westbrook, which made him feel a little pity, but he also knew in his heart that this brat was more difficult to deal with than that reckless guy from the Thunder.
Nowitzki came to a high position to withstand Stoudemire at this time, and reached out to Jason Kidd for the ball.
Kidd immediately dropped the ball into Nowitzki's hands.
Nowitzki took the ball with his back and singled Stoudemire.
With Stoudemire's height, it is actually a disadvantage to defend Nowitzki. Nowitzki is 2.13 meters, and this height really has an advantage in the fourth position.
But there is no way, the Knicks as a whole do not have a tall insider, even the center Rasheed Wallace and Cousins, the height of these two is less than 2 meters 10.
As long as it is not double-teamed, Nowitzki is simply an unsolvable offensive strength among power forwards.
His singles ability is too strong.
Nowitzki sits back and beats Mengding Stoudemire.
Although Nowitzki's strength is not very strong, and Stoudemire's strength is actually similar to him.
After Nowitzki made two slams towards the basket, he suddenly turned around and retreated, taking off with one foot and making a fallback jumper.

"Shua!"
Nowitzki used his signature moves as soon as he came up, and Jin Rooster scored a difficult shot independently.
It was just an attack, but D'Antoni already felt bad. Although Stoudemire defended Bosh in the last round, although it could not be regarded as a success, it was definitely qualified. Bosh did not say that he was too presumptuous throughout.
Both Bosh and Stoudemire are masters of face-up attack, and their back-up skills are not particularly good, so both sides are familiar with each other's skills, but Nowitzki is an extremely good back-up player.
Especially the one-handed inside footsteps, although not very gorgeous, are extremely practical, with a sense of ingenuity, and a taste of Duncan's "big basic skills", so this makes Stoudemire's defense a little difficult to parry.
If you think that Nowitzki will only turn around and shoot an independent jumper, then you are very wrong.
Nowitzki's ability to turn around and break through is also very good, even if he is facing the frame.
And the most important thing is that Nowitzki has solid basic skills and a simple and simple style of play. Compared with fancy offenses, this style of play has a lower turnover rate.
Nowitzki's dynamic talents are very average, such as jumping and speed are very average; but his static talents are excellent, such as height, wingspan, ball sense, shooting, coordination, ball quotient, etc., these talents belong to the league top notch.
And players with these static talents, even if they are much older, are still the favorites of major teams. On the contrary, those players who rely purely on physical talents for food, after the age of 32, it is basically difficult to have the ball to play .
Just like Stoudemire, Stoudemire is now 29 years old and still at his peak, but after a few years, Stoudemire, who has no back-to-the-basket skills, will basically face a situation where he has no ball to play as soon as his speed drops.
The Knicks will attack immediately!
Against the Mavericks, the Knicks' offensive rhythm is very fast!
Holiday took the ball across the half court without stopping, and immediately handed the ball to Lian Dao.
Lian Dao attacked with the ball, and Sean Marion was always on guard against Lian Dao's rapid breakthrough, but Lian Dao's fake shot made Marion move forward immediately.
Lian Dao's three-pointer, he knew Willie very well.
But Lian Dao didn't want to shoot a three-pointer, to complete a big loop in the air with both hands.
Then break through quickly with the ball.
Because Marion got too close just now, Lian Dao's "fastest first step" directly passed him cleanly.
Like Durant, Lian Dao is both tall and long-armed, but Lian Dao has two other points, that is, he is faster than Durant and stronger than Durant, which makes it impossible for Marion to be like the limiter. Limit cheap rice like Durant.
Lian Dao took advantage of the trend and directly broke through to the basket.
"Don't even think about it!" Chandler gave up on Rasheed Wallace, who was in the middle distance, and stepped up to defend.
Rasheed Wallace was ready for the catch and shoot, but Lian Dao missed the pass.
When Chandler made up his defense, Lian Dao jumped up to face Chandler, and then the two collided in the air.
"throat!"
Lian Dao suddenly felt a groan, but he still controlled the center of gravity of his body, threw the ball to the basket, and then fell to the ground.
"Beep!"
As soon as Lian Dao made a shot, he heard the referee's whistle.
Immediately ~ www.innread.com ~ brush! "
The sound of the basketball passing through the net rang through the loudspeakers.
2+1!
At the beginning, Lian Dao scored 2+1 strongly, and the cheers of Madison Garden Arena resounded through the sky.
"It's so beautiful!" Xiao Si and Hua Laishi stretched out their hands to pull Lian Dao up, patted Lian Dao's buttocks and said excitedly.
But Lian Dao did not celebrate, and steadily scored the ball.
2:3!
Kidd held the ball up the frontcourt, and it was Holiday who defended him.
Kidd has no physical advantage in playing Holiday, but he still chooses to play Holiday single sideways.
Holiday's defense was excellent, and he didn't back down in the face of Kidd's physical pressure.
