best shooting guard

Chapter 186

Dallas Mavericks.

One of the top three in Texas, the 11-year NBA champion, and a rich boss.

Texas has always had three illusions: "The Spurs are old, the Rockets are strong, and the Mavericks are weak."

But to be honest, the Mavericks are also a fairly stable playoff team. The soul of the team is the chariot from Germany, the current old driver-Dirk Nowitzki!

Perhaps one of the most hated teams by Chinese Rockets fans back then was the Mavericks. After all, after leading 2-0 in the playoffs, they were influenced by the referee and led to a 3-4 exit. This also made Yao Mai unable to pass the playoffs for many years. The first round of spells.

But I have to say that the Mavericks in the new century are still very durable. Although they are not the favorites of the championship for more than ten years like the Spurs, the Mavericks are also a strong team in the playoffs for more than ten years. Eight" storm, but no one will ever underestimate the Mavericks.In particular, Nowitzki, the veteran driver of the 11-year finals, single-handedly killed the "Big Three" of the Heat, and instantly raised his reputation to a peak. star's face.

However, after the 11-year championship, the atmosphere of the Mavericks changed. Their championship lineup was dismantled, and the ball-handling core Kidd, the defensive core Chandler and others left one after another. Dismal, didn't even make it to the finals, let alone defend the title.

And this season, the Mavericks have regrouped. Owner Cuban spared no effort to sign many (former) star players for the team, trying to turn the Mavericks into a luxurious space battleship.

Among the people signed by Cuban, the biggest name should be Carter, the old flying man Carter, but in 12, Carter was not as fast as he was old, and he could still stage violent dunks in fast breaks.

Apart from Carter, there is also OJ Mayo, who was a super prospect in 08. This guy also caused a sensation in the United States. If it wasn't because he didn't grow taller in the end, people would have hoped that they would become like Jordan.

Yes, the height of 193 cm is indeed too short for a shooting guard, and Mayo's shooting is also very poor. If he only relies on breakthroughs, he is not the type of player Iverson is.Want to be a point guard, but Mayo's ball handling and passing skills are not good enough to play a point guard.

So Mayo quickly disappeared after entering the NBA. There is no way, this is fate. There are too few ways to break through, and it is easy to be targeted, so Mayo did not play like Rose or Westbrook.

In addition to Carter and Mayo, Cuban also signed two former leaders of the Clippers this year, center Chris Kaman and power forward Elton Brand.

The Clippers used to rely on the golden insiders composed of these two to enter the playoffs and even entered the second round. Although they were later wiped out by the Suns, this is enough to show that these two are not weak.

Although Brand is no longer the super captain of the past, Kaman, who looks like a Viking pirate with a beard, still maintains a very good competitive state, and he can still output 15+10 data steadily every game .Today, when the traditional center is gradually declining, Kaman, who has both body and technology, can still beat many inside jumpers with his skills. Although he is a floor player, he has no pressure to crush a lot of jumpers.

Therefore, with the powerful center Kaman and the still strong firepower of Nowitzki, the Mavericks have upgraded the Clippers' golden inside team back then!

What's more, Brandon is also inside, and there are rookies like Brandon Knight.

As for the outside firepower of the Mavericks, hehe, as long as Carter is still there, it is a major threat. If Carter used his full strength in 12 years, it would be no problem to score 20+ points in one game, let alone as the once famous "North Carolina", As long as Carter stands on the field, he is a threat!
The Mavericks have Darren Collison at the point guard. This guy who used to serve as a substitute for Paul once scored 20+ assists alone when Paul was injured, which made the Hornets say that Paul is not irreplaceable. .

Moreover, the Mavericks' small forward also has the gibbon hacker Marion. Although his "three-eight" putt is ugly, it is really accurate. In addition, there is a three-point grabber like Morrow on the bench. Master, the Mavericks' lineup looks quite impressive.

This kind of lineup with starters and substitutes makes Cuban full of confidence this year. He feels that there are too few championship trophies. He hopes to win another trophy with this solid lineup this year.

But I have to admit that if this lineup is played well, Cuban may indeed realize his dream.

It's a pity that the Mavericks' record this year is not very stable. Maybe they are still looking for tactics. Now the Mavericks are temporarily ranked sixth in the Western Conference, which is still a bit behind Cuban's expected record.

But Cuban is still very confident in his team, at least he believes that among the top three in Texas this year, the Mavericks' lineup is the most flawless!

However, in Qin Yan's previous life, due to the running-in problem of the Mavericks lineup this season and the impact of injuries, the team members came in and out quite frequently. In one season, 23 players played for the team. There was really no way to run the team, and the final season ended with a score of 41 wins and 41 losses, ranking ninth in the Western Conference, and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2000.

Of course, because of Qin Yan's little butterfly effect, I really don't know if Mavericks can change this fate this year.

Now, in the Mavericks' home stadium, American Airlines Center, members of the Mavericks are training before the game.

"Dirk, the Spurs are coming here tomorrow. What do you think about tomorrow's game?" A reporter interviewed Nowitzki during the training break.

"Well, I'm very happy because I can play against Tim again. You know that we are actually very good friends with them. Many of the Spurs' lineup this year are my old friends. I am very happy to play against them. By the way, I'm sorry that Tony is out due to injury, and I hope he can get better soon." The relationship between the three Texas teams is good, and they are not like mortal enemies. They are not like mortal rivals in the same city such as the Clippers and Lakers , Knicks and Nets, they are more like three brothers.All the teams in the league are reluctant to go to Texas to play away games, because these three teams will peel off their skin if they don't die.

"Well, Dirk, do you have confidence in the team this season?" Because the training is still going on, there is no way to ask too many questions.The reporter can only pick and ask.

"I hope to win another championship, I think a ring is a bit less haha" Nowitzki rarely joked, "This year the team has me, Sean, Vince, Chris, etc., we are all in Work hard for the championship, although there is a little trouble now, but I believe the team will overcome it!"

"Okay, then I wish you success!" The reporter was tactful. Seeing that Coach Carlisle was about to come over to chase away people, he quickly accepted it. After all, the team's victory is the most important thing.

Although Nowitzki is very confident, it is really not that easy for the Mavericks to win the championship this year!
