Chapter 220 Won't Keep Hands Anymore
Chapter 220 Won't Keep Hands Anymore (11K)
The unfavorable start of the attack did not make the German tanks panic.
This is the first time I participated in the finals, and I was facing a historically powerful team like the Heat. It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous.
It's okay, just do a good job of defending first, and then adjust slowly.
But the Heat will not give him the time and opportunity to slowly adjust.
In the warm and crazy cheers of the fans on the sidelines, the Heat's offense was like waves flocking to the beaches of Miami, wave after wave that never stopped.
The point difference between the two teams, like a snowball rolling down from the top of a snow-capped mountain, got bigger and bigger.
The Mavericks' defense has improved a lot compared to last year, but they can't stand their low starting point.
The little general did a good job in signing up the defensive system. He dug Diop, who is rare in the league in the league, from the Cavaliers, and he signed back from the Bulls, Adrian Griffin, who was fierce in defense last season. .
The entire lineup is put out, except for Terry who suffers from Wade's physical thickness, the rest can compete with the Heat's main players in terms of talent on paper.
But paper is always just paper. Who would have thought that in the future, the Heat could reach the finals with a bunch of undrafted picks?
Not to mention that talent is only the lower limit for the current Heat.
Josh Howard, the core of the Mavericks' perimeter defense, thought that he could block Mo Wen by relying on talent, focus and constant biting like he did against Nash in the last round.
With all his hard work, under his seemingly successful defense, the Mavericks' basket was like Catherine's bottom line, being easily pierced by Mo Wen again and again.
It feels like he has defended well, but from the actual results, it seems that his defense is useless.
There is one thing to say, Josh's defense is not bad. Cuban praised Josh Howard as Marion of the Mavericks after the Western Conference Finals.
As an older rookie in the same draft as Mo Wen but three years older than Mo Wen, Josh Howard's foundation in the Mavericks is defense.
(Jie is also a good kid who listened to his mother and finished college... Oh, by the way, he is still Duncan’s elementary school brother)
In just three years of his NBA career, he learned how to fish, but he couldn't catch "water" with fishing nets, let alone "oil".
The greatest pressure he can bring to Mo Wen on the defensive end may come from his famous "handsome face".
To be fair, this guy is really suitable to endorse toothpaste. His facial features and four senses are all normal, except for his big mouth that wants to show his wisdom teeth, which raises his appearance to the level of "Picasso art". high.
With 4 minutes left before the end of the first quarter, Josh Howard saluted a wave of Sean Zhao Si Marion while still defending.
Facing him, Mo Wen leaned over and shook the ball—a tentative step breakthrough—change direction and pull back—after the breakthrough, bowed to Buddha and hesitated—then crossed step breakthrough.
This one-stop service is as smooth as it can be.
After dismantling the whole set of breakthroughs, there are no particularly complicated movements, and amateur golfers can also pass through the air after practicing, but the details contained in it, the polishing of fluency, the judgment and reading of defense are definitely not explained by a formula.
Josh: I predicted your attack!
Mo Wen: I predicted you predicted I predicted you predicted my prediction.
Josh: You predicted that I predicted...predicted...uh...predicted...
Ordinary people may be directly stunned by this wave.
But Josh Howard, as a person with a university degree, is obviously not an ordinary person. He gave a unique way of solving problems.
As long as I don't predict your prediction, what can you do?
He simply fell to the second step, locked himself with a big split when Mo Wen was receiving the ball, then reversed his upper body and lower body, and fell to the ground.
His fallen posture formed a peculiar shape.
Nowitzki almost exploded after just one glance, and hurried up to help.
The camera shot over, and the director and photographer also trembled in fright, and quickly moved the camera to cut the scene.
You can take pictures of anything, only this, not 卍卍.
Josh Howard's loss is just a microcosm of the Mavericks' defensive front.
The little general's defensive concept was learned from the Spurs, and he also adopted a defensive strategy of defending inside-defending outside-defending.
In history, Kobe was not allowed to hit the Mavericks with three-pointers every time, but he often scored high scores. He unlocked the postures of 40+, 50+, and 60+ on the Mavericks.
There is also a very counterintuitive thing, the current Mavericks' mid-range defense mainly relies on Nowitzki, who has not gained weight, to help defend and sweep.
How to say "grateful literature"-thanks to the person who dragged me down, because he strengthened my legs.
——Thanks to (FK) egg skin!
But Nowitzki is not Garnett after all, he doesn't have such a strong defensive judgment and such a large activity area.
This also led to the Mavericks' mid-range being quite open.
Cole, who was the guest commentator at the time, watched the offensive and defensive round just now and shook his head regretfully for the Mavericks.
I really can't say that this is a failure of the Mavericks' tactics.
In his opinion, the triangle offense that Zen master made in the Bulls and Lakers is very incomprehensible, but the Heat can easily complete the unprecedented off-ball triangle in history.
The three of Wade O'Fat and Finley set up on the strong side and can lock the defense without having the ball in their hands.
Haslem stood in the corner that he was good at.
Mo Wen on the weak side just singles out casually, singles out the opportunity and shoots himself, and passes to the other side's off-ball triangle if he doesn't get out, and continues to let other superstars single out, a pure "weighing baht" style of play .
The little general stood aside with a frowning face, not knowing how to defend himself.
For two years, countless coaches in the league have worked hard to crack the Heat's offensive system, but the methods that the coaches came up with were either proved useless or easily cracked, or could not be realized because of too harsh personnel conditions.
Josh Howard is already the most capable defensive swingman for the Mavericks. Even if they see him being "red sand" by Mo Wen again and again, all they can do is continue to believe.
There is good news for the Mavericks, Mo Wen started unlimited singles before he came up.
Mo Wen's main job in the first quarter was to consume Ao Pang's physical energy... Oh no, it was to maximize Ao Pang's physical energy.
The Mavericks' offensive and defensive transitions were fierce, and the hand-to-hand fight with Diop was also very strenuous. It was too extravagant to let Ao Pang do some blue-collar work in this situation.
However, Fatty's opening state was very average.
Diop's top defense and Nowitzki's double-teaming effect were not bad. O'Pang scored a 2-for-0 free throw in two offenses. On the third offense, he was caught by the referee when he hit back. The movement of the pivot foot is blown away.
In this era, the technical requirements for famous stars are still quite high.
When Ao Pang meets a center forward who can compete with him in strength, he is often caught because of subconscious moves in the confrontation.
The referee can tolerate him squatting in the three-second zone and not coming out, because the opposing defender can still shoot back and punish him.
But if Ao Pang can take one more step when attacking, then no one can defend him.
The combined ball attack is like Guan Erye's dragging knife. When your force curve is long enough, no one can stop you, and you don't need those "fancy" techniques at all.
Ao Pang's condition is not good and he has no head iron, so he took on the role of supporting play after attracting the defense.
But the Mavericks did not dare to adjust with Ao Pang.
Chaoju's incomprehensibility is here. It seems that they have locked him up with all their efforts, but in fact the effect of force is mutual. Their defense has worked, but in order to ensure that it always works, they have to invest resources all the time.
The defensive strategy of swinging from side to side can only collapse yourself in the end.
Fortunately, in the second half of the first quarter, Terry seized the opportunity to hit two three-pointers, otherwise the point difference between the two teams may have gone to double digits.
In the second quarter, Nowitzki took a short breath and partnered with Stackhouse and Harris to play together, and began to speed up.
Since the defense can't play a big role, it can only fight the offense.
Mo Wen and Wade took turns to rest for 2 minutes at the end of the first quarter and did not take much rest in the second quarter. They pulled Haslem to accompany the Mavericks to speed up and fight.
In the dazzling chaos, the Mavericks fans in front of the TV thought that it was time for the performance of the German chariot. Unexpectedly, after the engine of the chariot roared, within half a meter, the chariot misfired again.
Haslem has been tempered quite hard in Riley's high-intensity training, forcing Nowitzki to be unable to hold the ball steadily in the fast break, and if Nowitzki squeezes into the three-point line without the ball When ready to ask for the ball, there is always a Heat perimeter that will help Haslem block Nowitzki's side turn space.
Nowitzki thought he had fooled Haslem, but in fact he fell headfirst into the trap that the Heat arranged for him.
He didn't react until he was robbed twice in a row.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the little general decisively called a timeout and asked Nowitzki to play support first, increasing the offensive drama from the outside.
Nowitzki is an extremely important part of the Mavericks' offensive system, but not completely irreplaceable.
Thanks to the old Nelson's transformation of the Mavericks, the overall offensive style of the Mavericks is more team-oriented. Nowitzki's ball holding time is not long, which does not mean that he can't play without him.
Unlike the Suns in the Western Conference finals, facing the Heat who have no outside loopholes, the Mavericks reduced breakthroughs in today's game and increased screen coordination and jump shots.
Several major scorers seldom go inside except for the fast break, and their shooting ranges are concentrated in the mid-range and long two-point areas, which are relatively easy to get out of the open area.
Inefficiency is a bit inefficient, but the victory lies in stability.
Most of the time, the game is not about how strong the two sides are, but who has fewer mistakes.
But obviously, the Heat are not among the majority. No team in the league can be more stable than the Heat, and they can only go crazy if they want to win.
In the first half, Nowitzki made 7 of 0 goals in positional battles. He scored 4 points only by fast break and free throws. No one can laugh in front of the score.
Trailing by 15 at halftime.
Looking back and thinking about it, there seems to be no difference between their Western Conference champions and the Eastern Conference teams swept by the Heat?
The fans of the Heat were so excited, wouldn't the game look good without any suspense?
That depends on where you stand.
When your subjective consciousness is too strong, objective problems are not called problems.
The only thing that makes Mo Wen and Wade feel a little pity is that the little friends on the sidelines left the previous two days, and LeBron, who said he was coming, didn't come, so there was no one for them to show off.
Several friends from the 03 session received a call to prepare for the World Championships some time ago. They either returned home or flew to the cool Las Vegas to start the closed training camp in advance.
In 04, the Olympic men's basketball team created an unprecedented disgrace in the American basketball world and created the country of this sport. In the end, they didn't even win a single medal.
After that, the American basketball world learned from the pain and was determined to carry out a top-to-bottom reform.
First of all, they changed their original position as the director of the Basketball Association, and invited the former Suns owner Colangelo, who had just cashed out of the low position, to be the speaker.
Learning from the lesson of the coach of the Dream Six team pulling hips, the old Colangelo directly invited the "goat" old K coach in the American basketball coaching circle to be the head coach of this year's Dream Seven.
After ventilating with Stern, the old coach K began to recruit players for secret training before the NBA playoffs were over.
However, the old coach K did not choose those old guys who have become famous. It is not that he is used to practicing from a small number, but that he wants to learn from the "advanced experience" of Europe, South America and China, build a team culture with a younger age, and over-select to improve Competition and long-term training cultivate tacit understanding.
LeBron, Anthony, and Bosh were naturally the first to be drafted.
Wade was also scheduled to be the starting guard by Old K early on, and he just waited for the finals to end quickly, and the Heat would pull him over after celebrating.
The only thing that makes old K feel regretful is that he can't recruit Mo Wen, otherwise, with the Heat's two perimeters as the core, he can be matched casually according to the Heat's standard answer.
LeBron's ball quotient is very high, and he is also very good as a core, but his shooting and inability to play off the ball are still not perfect.
"This year's finals ended really early."
Old K, who was watching the game with the players, looked at the picture on TV and said rather coldly.
Several players present were a little surprised at the "arbitrary" of the old coach K. Although the Heat showed a strong dominance, it was so early when Nowitzki obviously did not perform well after only watching half the game. Is it a bit hasty to draw conclusions?
Nowitzki can't play like this for four consecutive games, can he?
Paul, who was the youngest in the corner, nodded and then shook his head.
His current mood is very complicated. On the one hand, he is not convinced. If he hadn't accidentally injured his ankle, the Lakers might not have no chance of winning against the Mavericks.
It is a bit difficult for the Lakers to replace the Mavericks and reach the finals, but what if?
On the other hand, after losing to the Mavericks in the tiebreaker, he also hopes that the Mavericks can perform better and win the championship...maybe it is a dream, but winning two...one win can prove that this strongest team is not impossible It's good to win.
Seeing the doubts of the players, Old K slowly explained.
"The German can't get rid of Haslem, and his top shot is not good. This is not to say that it can be solved in one or two games, unless the Mavericks' inside line is pulled out to the German. It’s hard to lose rebounds and not be able to evacuate the Heat’s inside line.”
"Josh Howard is also struggling against Mo. Mo sees through his every move on both ends of the offense and defense. He is forced to shoot with a certain threat in the range of three-pointers and one step inside the three-point line. Isn't that The job he is good at, his defense has to be more aggressive in controlling fouls, which is not what he is used to, and it is difficult."
"Jason Terry seems to play the best, that's because he is the most relaxed on the offensive end of the Mavericks, but as many points as he wins on the offensive end, he has to spit as many points on the defensive end. Wade and Mo It’s really too easy to find a wrong position to hit him, but if you help him defend, the two guards can easily pass the ball to teammates outside the three-point line, which is difficult.”
"The Mavericks want to beat the Heat under the rules of the NBA - hard hard!"
Old Coach K shook his head, with envy flashing in his eyes.
As a well-known coach in the United States, he has no shortage of excellent players, but he has never experienced a lineup as luxurious as the Heat. He agreed to coach the dream team. The feeling of coaching a team full of superstars.
Hearing the old coach K's evaluation, the players present were more or less absent-minded.
The eyes of James and Anthony collided inadvertently, and then separated.
When they looked at each other again, there were awkward smiles in their eyes.
"They took a shortcut. The champions won by this method will never be compared with MJ, can they?"
Paul is still unconvinced. The innocence of young people still makes him subconsciously consider things as right or wrong. Although he uses various methods to win the competition, most people have to distinguish such things as moral standards. pros and cons.
Old K showed a slightly mocking smile upon hearing this.
"A champion is a champion, remember, not many people will remember how you got it, people will only remember who is the champion.
No matter whether it is noble or despicable, after 20 years, when a generation grows old, your so-called right and wrong will disappear with the blurred memory of the generation.At that time, only the champion can leave his mark in history. "
After being a coach for so many years, he doesn't have any superfluous moral cleanliness. Like Popovich, he is from the army, and he is cruel, not to mention that he won the second consecutive NCAA championship when he coached the "talent" Laettner. here.
Back to the game.
The little general drank a pot of American-style thick soup, and the cowboys who had been wilting just now came back full of blood.
The toughness of the Dallas Cowboys, who almost fought all the way to the tie-break, can definitely stand the test.
Ever since, the Mavericks players went all out and lost another 15 points in the third quarter, officially sending the game into garbage time
Nowitzki, who had been beaten with chicken blood, felt that he was full of energy. The secretion of adrenaline made him forget his poor performance in the first half and his physical exertion.
But basketball is a skill confrontation event, not an event that pursues the limits of the human body, and "zone" and a state of excitement should not be confused.
When he's "Mamba" shooting, the results are quite "Mamba" -- 15 for 3 in three quarters.
An average of one hit per quarter.
Haslem contributed a lot, but the main problem is that Nowitzki himself encountered a psychological barrier.
Nowitzki's shooting was born with a little backwardness. At the beginning, the old Nelson didn't correct him, but he couldn't correct it when the little general came.
Don't say it's Haslem or someone taller than him defending him. In the regular season, facing a player like TJ Ford who is actually less than 1 meters, Nowitzki will still choose to fall back when shooting.
The so-called short and strong top defense is actually more to increase the difficulty of his shooting and psychological burden, not to say that he has no state at all.
Rather than saying that Nowitzki needs further polishing, it is better to say that he needs to further exercise his mentality.
The referee in the middle couldn't stand it anymore, and grabbed the German's longer body hair and gave him a few whistles. Nowitzki's score may not even be in double figures.
Inaccurate shooting against confrontation is actually not a common problem of Nowitzki alone. Throughout the ages, there are only a small group of people who have been able to shoot against confrontation-Bird, Danzi, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Du Xiaoshuai...
Nuo Tianwang, a master of mentality and technology, is also among them, but Nowitzki is far behind.
During the regular season, the driver can rely on frequent cutting tactics, offensive and defensive transitions, smart frontal breakthroughs, and the space advantage of a space power forward to obtain mobile opportunities.
But the Heat ignored Terry, who was frequently harassing the bottom line, and let Haslem bite Nowitzki without distraction, and the Mavericks were a little helpless.
As the old coach K analyzed, it is impossible for them to call out another inside line. In that case, regardless of whether the tactics can be played, the inside rebounds will be crippled by themselves first.
Terry played the best performance of his playoff career. He made 16 of 11 in three quarters and scored 28 points including three-pointers and free throws. Invigorate the role of the team.
The little general turned around in a hurry, yelled and yelled after a pause, and the tactical board was more fancy than Rodman's tattoo, but the effect was not as great as a few elegant words of the island actress.
The routine referee didn't want to lose the suspense so early in the game. He intentionally helped the Mavericks and gave the Mavericks a lot of whistles. Cuban, who always likes to criticize referees, couldn't find fault with the referees today.
The referee gave everything he could give today, but the Mavericks pulled it to the end.
Who would have thought that the Mavericks, who were originally known for their offense and bench depth, suddenly couldn't find a second reliable offensive point except for Terry.
I won't talk about the frozen Nowitzki and the disappearing Josh.
The nervous knife Stackhouse who came off the bench was not nervous at all, and Harris, who broke out in a few games in the Western Conference Finals, faced the Heat's disciplined defense, and he was useless without shooting.
The most important thing is that they reduced the breakthrough, and the referee couldn't give the whistle even if he wanted to.
Regardless of the fact that the relationship between Cuban and referees has always been bad, Cuban was fined a record $50 by the league for insulting Rush, the chairman of the referee union, as well as 2 hours of work as a milk salesman (because Cuban Ben taunts that Rush can't even run a milk factory), but there's no shortage of Maverick whistles.
Later, people only remembered that Wade killed the game with 25 free throws in the finals, but they forgot that Nowitzki used 24 free throws in a single game to kill the Spurs in this year's bull-horse battle, and they also forgot that the regular season basket shot took the lead. Less than 25% of the Mavericks have scored the fifth most free throws in the league.
At the end of the third quarter, all the Mavericks players in the camera looked like middle-aged men who had pretended to be grandsons in front of customers, and then got hung up by their wives when they returned home.
Confused and slim.
On the other hand, there is an elegant and quiet smile on the other side, quietly admiring the last hustle and bustle of Miami.
The director understood it very well, and directly ordered the cameras on both sides to slap their faces, and gave Nowitzki and Mo Wen a close-up of their faces, and listed their data on the big screen below.
"I don't know what kind of plane Dek played today. He is a 2-meter-high man who has been shooting from the outside. I know he has a great shooting talent. I know that the old coach Nelson defined him as a special small forward. But is the small forward the way to keep you floating outside and shooting?"
"He should learn more from Mo Xue. Mo also shot a lot of three-pointers today, but when it is time to break through, he will also go to the basket without hesitation. This is what a leader should do. Haagen-Dazs would not ask him to be a spokesperson because he is too fast!"
Barkley commented very viciously in the studio.
Ba Pang and Nowitzki's personal relationship is not bad. Back then, Pang Fat failed to help his alma mater introduce drivers, so he recommended him to Nelson Jr., who was still working as a teaching assistant in the Suns.Later in the draft, the Mavericks were better than Pierce, but it was Fatty Ba’s constant nagging that made the Mavericks turn their attention and finally selected the German.
Nowitzki has always claimed that the 198 big ass is his childhood idol.
But personal relationships belong to personal relationships, and Fatty Ba's biggest characteristic is that he does not fight headwinds.
From the perspective of appearance alone, the big man's high jumper style of play is really annoying.
Such a big man has proven that he doesn't feel good and can't make shots, and he keeps making strong shots from the outside. Isn't that soft?
Of course, if you fail to make an inside shot, you will be scolded as soft, but there is also a gap between soft and soft.
Heat players off the field are also making fun of Nowitzki's performance today.
The current era still can't understand this advanced shooting art.
Mo Wen was noncommittal, he could understand Nowitzki's thoughts, and Nowitzki didn't just make bad shots from there when he was dizzy.
He just met his nemesis and happened to feel cold.
The driver's performance on the defensive end is qualified, he grabs a lot of rebounds in the backcourt, and tries his best to assist the defensive frame.
Compared with the 213 who won a board angrily at halftime in the tiebreaker, both attitude and performance were stronger by more than 01:30 points.
Nowitzki just didn't catch up with the good times. There are too many tough guys in this era. If it is released 20 years later, the performance of Nowitzki in the regular season may be in someone's mouth—" Dirk Nowitzki is probably the most dominant player in active service, a bit like Shaquille O’Neal, he’s unbelievable”
(Ba Pang commented on Embiid in the regular season...Opang was not there at the time)
In the final quarter, the Heat's second team and the Mavericks played tacitly for most of the quarter, and the two sides exchanged a wave of data.
In the end, the Heat 118:99 and easily won G19 with an advantage of 1 points.
The highest score in the game was Terry's 36 points. His continuous detours and misplaced breakthroughs against big men were quite eye-catching.
The Heat's targeted zone defense must have released some opportunities, but this kid caught them all. The commentators on the scene commented that he played like Iverson.
But Iverson was able to win a game against the Lakers that year because Larry Brown sacrificed the offense of others to create an iron barrel defense, and Terry obviously did not have this blessing.
Nowitzki managed to score 18 points in the last quarter, and the total score was 18 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists. It seems that the statistics are not so bad, but many fans switched to other programs after watching the first three quarters. , only retaining the worst impression of him.
Josh barely scored in double figures in the end, scoring 11 points and 8 rebounds. No other Mavericks player scored in double figures.
... Oh yes, I missed one. Finley, who still received the salary of the Mavericks, also scored 12 points, but he took it in the Mavericks' basket.
The performance of the Heat's Big Three is as usual.
莫闻16投11中，三分6中3，罚球1中1，砍下26分10助攻8篮板3抢断。
主攻手韦德19投11中，三分3中1，罚球6中6，拿到全队最高的29分5篮板4助攻1盖帽。
奥胖划水，11中8，罚球8中1，拿到17分12篮板4盖帽。
While the audience applauded the stable performance of the Big Three, Stern was knocking his head with a headache in the office.
As expected, the powerful Heat attracted a large number of fans for the finals. The peak of today's ratings is even close to the most glorious moment in the NBA before Jordan retired for the second time.
However, games that lose suspense too early have greatly reduced the audience's retention rate.
Although the lowest point is also higher than the highest ratings of the Salted Fish War of the Spurs and Nets in 03.
But just like many gambling dogs who play big aces, they always regard the highest assets as their own inherent assets. How much they earn is secondary, and the main thing is how much they can earn...
It's hard for the Mavericks to expect anything. With today's performance in three quarters, it's hard for Nowitzki to win even if he scored 50 points in the Western Conference Finals.
That gimmick can only be dug on the Big Three.
The disintegration of the Big Three?
This thing is all bad.
Who will the FMVP win in the end?
Good reason, but not enough to keep viewers in front of the TV.
When he was thinking about how to hype, Mo Wen on TV also accepted the post-match interview and was about to leave.
But just as he was about to leave, he thought of something again, turned around and picked up the microphone, showed a charming smile in front of the camera, and then said slowly:
"Oh, by the way, I really hope that Coach Johnson can improve their offense. They need offense instead of pointless defense like they are now. The next game will be my last game in Miami as a Heat player. , I'm not keeping any more, so - tsk, good luck to them."
The reporters froze for a moment, and then they all exclaimed.
This short sentence has a lot of confidence.
——The Mavericks' offense is so bad that even the hostile Mo can't stand it!
- Don't think the Mavericks' defense was a failure!
——The official announcement is clear, Mo will leave the team next season!
——Mo has the confidence to end the game within 5 games! (232 competition system for the finals)
—— Mo kept his hands in the previous games?
——No longer low-key, Mo intends to give back to the fans by breaking out in the next game!
The reporters who came back to their senses held up their microphones like crazy and wanted to continue asking questions, but Mo Wen didn't stay to explain.
Follow the inner passage to yo-yo.
It's so exciting to run after loading!
……
After listening to Mo Wen's words, Stern couldn't believe it at first, and asked two equally excited subordinates to confirm twice in a row before he clapped his hands happily.
Mo, you are my god!
What MJ, stand aside, I'm so unfamiliar!
Ordinary football stars dare to play like this, there must be few people who agree with him, and those who agree with him just want to see his jokes.
But Mo Wen is different. He has created a scoring record in a single quarter. He scored a record-breaking 50+ triple-double in the playoffs before.
Propaganda to the labor and management, the media to the labor and management.
It doesn't matter whether Mo Wen breaks his promise to get fat or does what he says, let's start the topic first.
The media who were still discussing whether this year will be the least suspenseful championship, the next second, it was like a shark smelling blood, and began to grasp Mo Wen's possible performance in the next game and started a discussion.
On the other side, the little general who heard the news trembled angrily.
What do you mean?
This is the finals!The Mavericks are the champions of the Western Conference!
There must be a limit to looking down on people, right? !
The Mavericks players were also angry, clamoring to give Mo Wen some color in the next game.
But calm down, and look at his "death notice" combined with Mo Wen's performance in G1 in the finals, and he really calmed down.
Everyone turned their attention to Nowitzki and the little general.
Nowitzki squeezed his fist without saying a word, got up and left, went back to his room and set the alarm clock to 4 o'clock, closed his eyes and began to sleep forcefully.
It's just that the muscles that were just relaxed by the masseur did not stay relaxed all the time.
The little general nodded quite calmly, as if leaving everything to me.
He turned around and locked himself in the room.
Half an hour later, before his scalp was scratched, the little general finally couldn't help but took out the phone...
drop--
The phone was connected for about half a minute, and neither side spoke.
A slightly sleepy chuckle came from the other end of the phone.
"Hehe, why, did you call it by accident? Or do you have no courage to speak?"
The little general exhaled like a deflated rubber ball.
"I'm sorry, forgive me teacher, I really don't know how to apologize to you, I have already come here, but this happened."
Avery Johnson let go of his aggressiveness in front of the players, and spoke helplessly like a child who has made a mistake.
"Hey, Avery, are you insulting me, old man? You've led the Mavericks to the Finals, the best result the Dallas Mavericks have ever had, what are you trying to say now, you screwed up? You So I'm going to hang up."
Old Nelson on the other end of the phone joked with a dissatisfied tone.
"No, no, I just want to say that I am a successor. You know what I can do with that little thing in my stomach. The current results are all based on the plan you made before." Ai Fury hurriedly explained.
"Then you say you messed up now, do you want to say that this is the problem I left behind?"
Old Nelson continued to tease his former disciple.
"No, no, no, it's all my fault. It's because of my lack of ability that I made it like this." Avery could only continue to explain with a wry smile.
"Hehe, you kid..." Old Nelson smiled in satisfaction, "I told you that you don't need to apologize or anything. What you have achieved now has surpassed me, and it is enough to make the Dallas fans proud. This is the finals. ,"
"I know what you want to ask, but to be honest, my vision is only in the Western Conference finals, and the help I can give you is very limited."
"This is your team, a team that you pulled together with your own hands, you can't leave it alone, can you?"
Avery was in a hurry. During the rest period of the week before the finals, in addition to leading the team's daily training, he also prepared a half-book-thick combat book, but the content of the game was out of his control within a few rounds of the game. .
In his eyes, it is the player gap, anyway, he really has nothing to do.
"No, this is your team Avery, the Mavericks used to be my kid, but now..." Old Nelson coughed as if stuck in phlegm.
"It's still your child now, if you don't believe me, I'll call Dirk over..."
"Ahem, but that Cuban guy doesn't pay me a salary, so it's really hard for me to feel involved, hahahaha." Old Nelson laughed as soon as the topic changed.
(Note: The literal translation of Cuban is Cuba, and he himself is Cuban)
breathe--
After taking a deep breath, Avery slowly calmed down his maddened heart.
"teacher--"
"Okay, okay, stop joking, I can understand your feelings, so let's be straightforward, do you know what the biggest problem in Dallas is now?"
Avery was quick-witted, and immediately sat upright, picked up a pen and tapped on the paper.
"Teacher, say it."
"The most critical problem is that you haven't found your position yet." Old Nelson said earnestly.
"After the Western Conference finals, you called me and I told you that the Mavericks are just a challenger, a warrior who climbed up from the ground in a video game, you have to be in awe, you have to be humble, you have to be nervous, you have to Be bold, you have to be calm, you have to be angry, you have to stay absolutely focused like walking a tightrope, and most importantly, you have to keep moving forward."
"Tell me about what you are like now? You imagine yourself as an equal competitor, and then you encounter a little setback, like a turtle, you just stop and let them throw it like a football. Throw them in the trash!"
"Do you think the winner's words are looking down on you? Think about it, he has already told you how you should play in this round of the series! He has already taught you what you want to ask."
Old Nelson breathed into the phone for a while, as if he had returned to the days of coaching and yelling at the players on the sidelines.
Avery's pen trembled, he put it down and began to meditate.
He also thought about abandoning defense and playing full attack basketball like last year, but subconsciously he always felt that following Mo Wen's "will" was to admit defeat.
"Like last year, the risk is too great. Once we can't keep up with the rhythm, the halftime may be garbage time. If Steve is here, I think I can try it, but..."
"Hehe, is there a difference between the garbage time in the third quarter and the garbage time in the halftime? Don't tell me you haven't watched the video of that kid's explosion. According to your current tactics, you think he is not capable of trashing you in halftime. Is it time?"
"He's not a god..." Avery felt that Old Nelson was a bit exaggerated. Mo Wen is very strong, but can he still be stronger than Danzi?
"Yes, of course he is not a god, he is a winner, he is a winner, he is a natural winner, he is a natural winner who won three championships in three years! He is not the son of God who is blown up by the media!" Old Nelson tapped The table, said with a hatred of iron and steel.
"There are still three games in the series, and they haven't won yet." Avery replied weakly.
"Ha, you know there are three more games? Hell, I thought you would be so ambitious, Falk, since you know it will be difficult for you to win, why are you still pretending to be decent?" Old Nelson was cursing, full of anger.
"I know, you are afraid of losing, you are afraid of losing too badly, you are afraid that the players will lose confidence, you are afraid that you will lose trust, so you still dare not take that step."
"If you win the fight, you won't get the final victory, and if you lose the game and lose miserably, you may become a disgrace to Dallas and the NBA. You may be labeled as incompetent and consume the first few rounds. Hard earned accolades, right?"
Avery was silent, the white paper in front of his eyes was like a mirror, unreservedly reflecting his dark skin and the nightmare that kept him awake at night.
"Avery, I've been following one principle all my life - don't do things you regret."
drop--
After half an hour.
The red-eyed Avery angrily crumpled up the white paper in front of him and threw it aside.
MD stinky old man, anyway, the job is given by you, and when the time comes, I really lose my job and adults, and I will depend on you to eat your food and drink your food at home!
On the other side, the old Nelson, who had finished venting, came out of the study cheerfully, and accompanied his granddaughter to watch the animation before going to bed.
"Daddy, I'm calling again, it's my younger brother." In the study, the daughter poked her head out and shouted again.
"Tell him, I'm asleep!" Old Nelson raised his eyelids. Little Nelson is still the general manager of the Mavericks, and he knows what it is to make a phone call with his ass.He just finished spraying Avery and it's still cool.
"He said he didn't believe it." The eldest daughter showed a helpless smile.
"Then let him go!"
……
During the rest of the recovery training on the second day, Wade, who was worried, and Ao Pang, who pretended to be worried, sandwiched Mo Wen in the middle of the bench.
"What did your boy mean by those words yesterday?"
Ao Pang held a newspaper, pointed to a front page and "questioned" Mo Wen.
"The Last Show: What kind of gorgeous curtain call will he bring?" "
The picture below is a mysterious theater photo with the curtain drawn, which fits the scene very well.
Among the photos and titles, there is a line in medium size and bold, the original words of Mo Wen's declaration at the press conference yesterday.
Mo Wen wrinkled his nose from the familiar smell of sweat and raised his eyebrows.
"Literally, what's the problem?"
"Of course there is a problem. Didn't we agree on fair competition? You are breaking the rules of the game!"
Ao Pang said dissatisfiedly, and Wade also nodded fiercely.
"Yeah, fair competition, isn't it normal for me to use all my strength to compete fairly with you guys? Is it possible that you guys still want to play like a playboy, holding hands and singing nursery rhymes to compete with you?" Mo Wen rolled his eyes and said.
"You bastard...you know what we mean!" Wade couldn't help it, and said with a serious face.
"Ah~~Of course I know what you mean. Who do you think I am, but if you two acted like a person before, would I not pass the ball to you two?"
"I said that to let you see how strong I am when I get serious!" Mo Wenming said very flatly, but it always gave people a very attractive feeling.
"Hmph, that's fine...wait, I always feel that you are connoting us, we are like human beings, when did we not look like human beings?" O'Fang and Wade brought it up just after they breathed a sigh of relief.
"8 of 1 free throws on the field, do you feel like a human being?"
"Fuck, I'm just letting them in. Do you understand? If I don't hit those free throws, it's already TM garbage time..."
"Don't talk about Shaq, Dwyane is holding back, don't hold back, Dwyane, just laugh if you want."
"Damn it, watch me kill you two, this year's FMVP is mine!"
"The FMVP who made 8 of 1 free throws?"
"Fack squid, watch my shark swoop!"
(End of this chapter)
The unfavorable start of the attack did not make the German tanks panic.
This is the first time I participated in the finals, and I was facing a historically powerful team like the Heat. It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous.
It's okay, just do a good job of defending first, and then adjust slowly.
But the Heat will not give him the time and opportunity to slowly adjust.
In the warm and crazy cheers of the fans on the sidelines, the Heat's offense was like waves flocking to the beaches of Miami, wave after wave that never stopped.
The point difference between the two teams, like a snowball rolling down from the top of a snow-capped mountain, got bigger and bigger.
The Mavericks' defense has improved a lot compared to last year, but they can't stand their low starting point.
The little general did a good job in signing up the defensive system. He dug Diop, who is rare in the league in the league, from the Cavaliers, and he signed back from the Bulls, Adrian Griffin, who was fierce in defense last season. .
The entire lineup is put out, except for Terry who suffers from Wade's physical thickness, the rest can compete with the Heat's main players in terms of talent on paper.
But paper is always just paper. Who would have thought that in the future, the Heat could reach the finals with a bunch of undrafted picks?
Not to mention that talent is only the lower limit for the current Heat.
Josh Howard, the core of the Mavericks' perimeter defense, thought that he could block Mo Wen by relying on talent, focus and constant biting like he did against Nash in the last round.
With all his hard work, under his seemingly successful defense, the Mavericks' basket was like Catherine's bottom line, being easily pierced by Mo Wen again and again.
It feels like he has defended well, but from the actual results, it seems that his defense is useless.
There is one thing to say, Josh's defense is not bad. Cuban praised Josh Howard as Marion of the Mavericks after the Western Conference Finals.
As an older rookie in the same draft as Mo Wen but three years older than Mo Wen, Josh Howard's foundation in the Mavericks is defense.
(Jie is also a good kid who listened to his mother and finished college... Oh, by the way, he is still Duncan’s elementary school brother)
In just three years of his NBA career, he learned how to fish, but he couldn't catch "water" with fishing nets, let alone "oil".
The greatest pressure he can bring to Mo Wen on the defensive end may come from his famous "handsome face".
To be fair, this guy is really suitable to endorse toothpaste. His facial features and four senses are all normal, except for his big mouth that wants to show his wisdom teeth, which raises his appearance to the level of "Picasso art". high.
With 4 minutes left before the end of the first quarter, Josh Howard saluted a wave of Sean Zhao Si Marion while still defending.
Facing him, Mo Wen leaned over and shook the ball—a tentative step breakthrough—change direction and pull back—after the breakthrough, bowed to Buddha and hesitated—then crossed step breakthrough.
This one-stop service is as smooth as it can be.
After dismantling the whole set of breakthroughs, there are no particularly complicated movements, and amateur golfers can also pass through the air after practicing, but the details contained in it, the polishing of fluency, the judgment and reading of defense are definitely not explained by a formula.
Josh: I predicted your attack!
Mo Wen: I predicted you predicted I predicted you predicted my prediction.
Josh: You predicted that I predicted...predicted...uh...predicted...
Ordinary people may be directly stunned by this wave.
But Josh Howard, as a person with a university degree, is obviously not an ordinary person. He gave a unique way of solving problems.
As long as I don't predict your prediction, what can you do?
He simply fell to the second step, locked himself with a big split when Mo Wen was receiving the ball, then reversed his upper body and lower body, and fell to the ground.
His fallen posture formed a peculiar shape.
Nowitzki almost exploded after just one glance, and hurried up to help.
The camera shot over, and the director and photographer also trembled in fright, and quickly moved the camera to cut the scene.
You can take pictures of anything, only this, not 卍卍.
Josh Howard's loss is just a microcosm of the Mavericks' defensive front.
The little general's defensive concept was learned from the Spurs, and he also adopted a defensive strategy of defending inside-defending outside-defending.
In history, Kobe was not allowed to hit the Mavericks with three-pointers every time, but he often scored high scores. He unlocked the postures of 40+, 50+, and 60+ on the Mavericks.
There is also a very counterintuitive thing, the current Mavericks' mid-range defense mainly relies on Nowitzki, who has not gained weight, to help defend and sweep.
How to say "grateful literature"-thanks to the person who dragged me down, because he strengthened my legs.
——Thanks to (FK) egg skin!
But Nowitzki is not Garnett after all, he doesn't have such a strong defensive judgment and such a large activity area.
This also led to the Mavericks' mid-range being quite open.
Cole, who was the guest commentator at the time, watched the offensive and defensive round just now and shook his head regretfully for the Mavericks.
I really can't say that this is a failure of the Mavericks' tactics.
In his opinion, the triangle offense that Zen master made in the Bulls and Lakers is very incomprehensible, but the Heat can easily complete the unprecedented off-ball triangle in history.
The three of Wade O'Fat and Finley set up on the strong side and can lock the defense without having the ball in their hands.
Haslem stood in the corner that he was good at.
Mo Wen on the weak side just singles out casually, singles out the opportunity and shoots himself, and passes to the other side's off-ball triangle if he doesn't get out, and continues to let other superstars single out, a pure "weighing baht" style of play .
The little general stood aside with a frowning face, not knowing how to defend himself.
For two years, countless coaches in the league have worked hard to crack the Heat's offensive system, but the methods that the coaches came up with were either proved useless or easily cracked, or could not be realized because of too harsh personnel conditions.
Josh Howard is already the most capable defensive swingman for the Mavericks. Even if they see him being "red sand" by Mo Wen again and again, all they can do is continue to believe.
There is good news for the Mavericks, Mo Wen started unlimited singles before he came up.
Mo Wen's main job in the first quarter was to consume Ao Pang's physical energy... Oh no, it was to maximize Ao Pang's physical energy.
The Mavericks' offensive and defensive transitions were fierce, and the hand-to-hand fight with Diop was also very strenuous. It was too extravagant to let Ao Pang do some blue-collar work in this situation.
However, Fatty's opening state was very average.
Diop's top defense and Nowitzki's double-teaming effect were not bad. O'Pang scored a 2-for-0 free throw in two offenses. On the third offense, he was caught by the referee when he hit back. The movement of the pivot foot is blown away.
In this era, the technical requirements for famous stars are still quite high.
When Ao Pang meets a center forward who can compete with him in strength, he is often caught because of subconscious moves in the confrontation.
The referee can tolerate him squatting in the three-second zone and not coming out, because the opposing defender can still shoot back and punish him.
But if Ao Pang can take one more step when attacking, then no one can defend him.
The combined ball attack is like Guan Erye's dragging knife. When your force curve is long enough, no one can stop you, and you don't need those "fancy" techniques at all.
Ao Pang's condition is not good and he has no head iron, so he took on the role of supporting play after attracting the defense.
But the Mavericks did not dare to adjust with Ao Pang.
Chaoju's incomprehensibility is here. It seems that they have locked him up with all their efforts, but in fact the effect of force is mutual. Their defense has worked, but in order to ensure that it always works, they have to invest resources all the time.
The defensive strategy of swinging from side to side can only collapse yourself in the end.
Fortunately, in the second half of the first quarter, Terry seized the opportunity to hit two three-pointers, otherwise the point difference between the two teams may have gone to double digits.
In the second quarter, Nowitzki took a short breath and partnered with Stackhouse and Harris to play together, and began to speed up.
Since the defense can't play a big role, it can only fight the offense.
Mo Wen and Wade took turns to rest for 2 minutes at the end of the first quarter and did not take much rest in the second quarter. They pulled Haslem to accompany the Mavericks to speed up and fight.
In the dazzling chaos, the Mavericks fans in front of the TV thought that it was time for the performance of the German chariot. Unexpectedly, after the engine of the chariot roared, within half a meter, the chariot misfired again.
Haslem has been tempered quite hard in Riley's high-intensity training, forcing Nowitzki to be unable to hold the ball steadily in the fast break, and if Nowitzki squeezes into the three-point line without the ball When ready to ask for the ball, there is always a Heat perimeter that will help Haslem block Nowitzki's side turn space.
Nowitzki thought he had fooled Haslem, but in fact he fell headfirst into the trap that the Heat arranged for him.
He didn't react until he was robbed twice in a row.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the little general decisively called a timeout and asked Nowitzki to play support first, increasing the offensive drama from the outside.
Nowitzki is an extremely important part of the Mavericks' offensive system, but not completely irreplaceable.
Thanks to the old Nelson's transformation of the Mavericks, the overall offensive style of the Mavericks is more team-oriented. Nowitzki's ball holding time is not long, which does not mean that he can't play without him.
Unlike the Suns in the Western Conference finals, facing the Heat who have no outside loopholes, the Mavericks reduced breakthroughs in today's game and increased screen coordination and jump shots.
Several major scorers seldom go inside except for the fast break, and their shooting ranges are concentrated in the mid-range and long two-point areas, which are relatively easy to get out of the open area.
Inefficiency is a bit inefficient, but the victory lies in stability.
Most of the time, the game is not about how strong the two sides are, but who has fewer mistakes.
But obviously, the Heat are not among the majority. No team in the league can be more stable than the Heat, and they can only go crazy if they want to win.
In the first half, Nowitzki made 7 of 0 goals in positional battles. He scored 4 points only by fast break and free throws. No one can laugh in front of the score.
Trailing by 15 at halftime.
Looking back and thinking about it, there seems to be no difference between their Western Conference champions and the Eastern Conference teams swept by the Heat?
The fans of the Heat were so excited, wouldn't the game look good without any suspense?
That depends on where you stand.
When your subjective consciousness is too strong, objective problems are not called problems.
The only thing that makes Mo Wen and Wade feel a little pity is that the little friends on the sidelines left the previous two days, and LeBron, who said he was coming, didn't come, so there was no one for them to show off.
Several friends from the 03 session received a call to prepare for the World Championships some time ago. They either returned home or flew to the cool Las Vegas to start the closed training camp in advance.
In 04, the Olympic men's basketball team created an unprecedented disgrace in the American basketball world and created the country of this sport. In the end, they didn't even win a single medal.
After that, the American basketball world learned from the pain and was determined to carry out a top-to-bottom reform.
First of all, they changed their original position as the director of the Basketball Association, and invited the former Suns owner Colangelo, who had just cashed out of the low position, to be the speaker.
Learning from the lesson of the coach of the Dream Six team pulling hips, the old Colangelo directly invited the "goat" old K coach in the American basketball coaching circle to be the head coach of this year's Dream Seven.
After ventilating with Stern, the old coach K began to recruit players for secret training before the NBA playoffs were over.
However, the old coach K did not choose those old guys who have become famous. It is not that he is used to practicing from a small number, but that he wants to learn from the "advanced experience" of Europe, South America and China, build a team culture with a younger age, and over-select to improve Competition and long-term training cultivate tacit understanding.
LeBron, Anthony, and Bosh were naturally the first to be drafted.
Wade was also scheduled to be the starting guard by Old K early on, and he just waited for the finals to end quickly, and the Heat would pull him over after celebrating.
The only thing that makes old K feel regretful is that he can't recruit Mo Wen, otherwise, with the Heat's two perimeters as the core, he can be matched casually according to the Heat's standard answer.
LeBron's ball quotient is very high, and he is also very good as a core, but his shooting and inability to play off the ball are still not perfect.
"This year's finals ended really early."
Old K, who was watching the game with the players, looked at the picture on TV and said rather coldly.
Several players present were a little surprised at the "arbitrary" of the old coach K. Although the Heat showed a strong dominance, it was so early when Nowitzki obviously did not perform well after only watching half the game. Is it a bit hasty to draw conclusions?
Nowitzki can't play like this for four consecutive games, can he?
Paul, who was the youngest in the corner, nodded and then shook his head.
His current mood is very complicated. On the one hand, he is not convinced. If he hadn't accidentally injured his ankle, the Lakers might not have no chance of winning against the Mavericks.
It is a bit difficult for the Lakers to replace the Mavericks and reach the finals, but what if?
On the other hand, after losing to the Mavericks in the tiebreaker, he also hopes that the Mavericks can perform better and win the championship...maybe it is a dream, but winning two...one win can prove that this strongest team is not impossible It's good to win.
Seeing the doubts of the players, Old K slowly explained.
"The German can't get rid of Haslem, and his top shot is not good. This is not to say that it can be solved in one or two games, unless the Mavericks' inside line is pulled out to the German. It’s hard to lose rebounds and not be able to evacuate the Heat’s inside line.”
"Josh Howard is also struggling against Mo. Mo sees through his every move on both ends of the offense and defense. He is forced to shoot with a certain threat in the range of three-pointers and one step inside the three-point line. Isn't that The job he is good at, his defense has to be more aggressive in controlling fouls, which is not what he is used to, and it is difficult."
"Jason Terry seems to play the best, that's because he is the most relaxed on the offensive end of the Mavericks, but as many points as he wins on the offensive end, he has to spit as many points on the defensive end. Wade and Mo It’s really too easy to find a wrong position to hit him, but if you help him defend, the two guards can easily pass the ball to teammates outside the three-point line, which is difficult.”
"The Mavericks want to beat the Heat under the rules of the NBA - hard hard!"
Old Coach K shook his head, with envy flashing in his eyes.
As a well-known coach in the United States, he has no shortage of excellent players, but he has never experienced a lineup as luxurious as the Heat. He agreed to coach the dream team. The feeling of coaching a team full of superstars.
Hearing the old coach K's evaluation, the players present were more or less absent-minded.
The eyes of James and Anthony collided inadvertently, and then separated.
When they looked at each other again, there were awkward smiles in their eyes.
"They took a shortcut. The champions won by this method will never be compared with MJ, can they?"
Paul is still unconvinced. The innocence of young people still makes him subconsciously consider things as right or wrong. Although he uses various methods to win the competition, most people have to distinguish such things as moral standards. pros and cons.
Old K showed a slightly mocking smile upon hearing this.
"A champion is a champion, remember, not many people will remember how you got it, people will only remember who is the champion.
No matter whether it is noble or despicable, after 20 years, when a generation grows old, your so-called right and wrong will disappear with the blurred memory of the generation.At that time, only the champion can leave his mark in history. "
After being a coach for so many years, he doesn't have any superfluous moral cleanliness. Like Popovich, he is from the army, and he is cruel, not to mention that he won the second consecutive NCAA championship when he coached the "talent" Laettner. here.
Back to the game.
The little general drank a pot of American-style thick soup, and the cowboys who had been wilting just now came back full of blood.
The toughness of the Dallas Cowboys, who almost fought all the way to the tie-break, can definitely stand the test.
Ever since, the Mavericks players went all out and lost another 15 points in the third quarter, officially sending the game into garbage time
Nowitzki, who had been beaten with chicken blood, felt that he was full of energy. The secretion of adrenaline made him forget his poor performance in the first half and his physical exertion.
But basketball is a skill confrontation event, not an event that pursues the limits of the human body, and "zone" and a state of excitement should not be confused.
When he's "Mamba" shooting, the results are quite "Mamba" -- 15 for 3 in three quarters.
An average of one hit per quarter.
Haslem contributed a lot, but the main problem is that Nowitzki himself encountered a psychological barrier.
Nowitzki's shooting was born with a little backwardness. At the beginning, the old Nelson didn't correct him, but he couldn't correct it when the little general came.
Don't say it's Haslem or someone taller than him defending him. In the regular season, facing a player like TJ Ford who is actually less than 1 meters, Nowitzki will still choose to fall back when shooting.
The so-called short and strong top defense is actually more to increase the difficulty of his shooting and psychological burden, not to say that he has no state at all.
Rather than saying that Nowitzki needs further polishing, it is better to say that he needs to further exercise his mentality.
The referee in the middle couldn't stand it anymore, and grabbed the German's longer body hair and gave him a few whistles. Nowitzki's score may not even be in double figures.
Inaccurate shooting against confrontation is actually not a common problem of Nowitzki alone. Throughout the ages, there are only a small group of people who have been able to shoot against confrontation-Bird, Danzi, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Du Xiaoshuai...
Nuo Tianwang, a master of mentality and technology, is also among them, but Nowitzki is far behind.
During the regular season, the driver can rely on frequent cutting tactics, offensive and defensive transitions, smart frontal breakthroughs, and the space advantage of a space power forward to obtain mobile opportunities.
But the Heat ignored Terry, who was frequently harassing the bottom line, and let Haslem bite Nowitzki without distraction, and the Mavericks were a little helpless.
As the old coach K analyzed, it is impossible for them to call out another inside line. In that case, regardless of whether the tactics can be played, the inside rebounds will be crippled by themselves first.
Terry played the best performance of his playoff career. He made 16 of 11 in three quarters and scored 28 points including three-pointers and free throws. Invigorate the role of the team.
The little general turned around in a hurry, yelled and yelled after a pause, and the tactical board was more fancy than Rodman's tattoo, but the effect was not as great as a few elegant words of the island actress.
The routine referee didn't want to lose the suspense so early in the game. He intentionally helped the Mavericks and gave the Mavericks a lot of whistles. Cuban, who always likes to criticize referees, couldn't find fault with the referees today.
The referee gave everything he could give today, but the Mavericks pulled it to the end.
Who would have thought that the Mavericks, who were originally known for their offense and bench depth, suddenly couldn't find a second reliable offensive point except for Terry.
I won't talk about the frozen Nowitzki and the disappearing Josh.
The nervous knife Stackhouse who came off the bench was not nervous at all, and Harris, who broke out in a few games in the Western Conference Finals, faced the Heat's disciplined defense, and he was useless without shooting.
The most important thing is that they reduced the breakthrough, and the referee couldn't give the whistle even if he wanted to.
Regardless of the fact that the relationship between Cuban and referees has always been bad, Cuban was fined a record $50 by the league for insulting Rush, the chairman of the referee union, as well as 2 hours of work as a milk salesman (because Cuban Ben taunts that Rush can't even run a milk factory), but there's no shortage of Maverick whistles.
Later, people only remembered that Wade killed the game with 25 free throws in the finals, but they forgot that Nowitzki used 24 free throws in a single game to kill the Spurs in this year's bull-horse battle, and they also forgot that the regular season basket shot took the lead. Less than 25% of the Mavericks have scored the fifth most free throws in the league.
At the end of the third quarter, all the Mavericks players in the camera looked like middle-aged men who had pretended to be grandsons in front of customers, and then got hung up by their wives when they returned home.
Confused and slim.
On the other hand, there is an elegant and quiet smile on the other side, quietly admiring the last hustle and bustle of Miami.
The director understood it very well, and directly ordered the cameras on both sides to slap their faces, and gave Nowitzki and Mo Wen a close-up of their faces, and listed their data on the big screen below.
"I don't know what kind of plane Dek played today. He is a 2-meter-high man who has been shooting from the outside. I know he has a great shooting talent. I know that the old coach Nelson defined him as a special small forward. But is the small forward the way to keep you floating outside and shooting?"
"He should learn more from Mo Xue. Mo also shot a lot of three-pointers today, but when it is time to break through, he will also go to the basket without hesitation. This is what a leader should do. Haagen-Dazs would not ask him to be a spokesperson because he is too fast!"
Barkley commented very viciously in the studio.
Ba Pang and Nowitzki's personal relationship is not bad. Back then, Pang Fat failed to help his alma mater introduce drivers, so he recommended him to Nelson Jr., who was still working as a teaching assistant in the Suns.Later in the draft, the Mavericks were better than Pierce, but it was Fatty Ba’s constant nagging that made the Mavericks turn their attention and finally selected the German.
Nowitzki has always claimed that the 198 big ass is his childhood idol.
But personal relationships belong to personal relationships, and Fatty Ba's biggest characteristic is that he does not fight headwinds.
From the perspective of appearance alone, the big man's high jumper style of play is really annoying.
Such a big man has proven that he doesn't feel good and can't make shots, and he keeps making strong shots from the outside. Isn't that soft?
Of course, if you fail to make an inside shot, you will be scolded as soft, but there is also a gap between soft and soft.
Heat players off the field are also making fun of Nowitzki's performance today.
The current era still can't understand this advanced shooting art.
Mo Wen was noncommittal, he could understand Nowitzki's thoughts, and Nowitzki didn't just make bad shots from there when he was dizzy.
He just met his nemesis and happened to feel cold.
The driver's performance on the defensive end is qualified, he grabs a lot of rebounds in the backcourt, and tries his best to assist the defensive frame.
Compared with the 213 who won a board angrily at halftime in the tiebreaker, both attitude and performance were stronger by more than 01:30 points.
Nowitzki just didn't catch up with the good times. There are too many tough guys in this era. If it is released 20 years later, the performance of Nowitzki in the regular season may be in someone's mouth—" Dirk Nowitzki is probably the most dominant player in active service, a bit like Shaquille O’Neal, he’s unbelievable”
(Ba Pang commented on Embiid in the regular season...Opang was not there at the time)
In the final quarter, the Heat's second team and the Mavericks played tacitly for most of the quarter, and the two sides exchanged a wave of data.
In the end, the Heat 118:99 and easily won G19 with an advantage of 1 points.
The highest score in the game was Terry's 36 points. His continuous detours and misplaced breakthroughs against big men were quite eye-catching.
The Heat's targeted zone defense must have released some opportunities, but this kid caught them all. The commentators on the scene commented that he played like Iverson.
But Iverson was able to win a game against the Lakers that year because Larry Brown sacrificed the offense of others to create an iron barrel defense, and Terry obviously did not have this blessing.
Nowitzki managed to score 18 points in the last quarter, and the total score was 18 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists. It seems that the statistics are not so bad, but many fans switched to other programs after watching the first three quarters. , only retaining the worst impression of him.
Josh barely scored in double figures in the end, scoring 11 points and 8 rebounds. No other Mavericks player scored in double figures.
... Oh yes, I missed one. Finley, who still received the salary of the Mavericks, also scored 12 points, but he took it in the Mavericks' basket.
The performance of the Heat's Big Three is as usual.
莫闻16投11中，三分6中3，罚球1中1，砍下26分10助攻8篮板3抢断。
主攻手韦德19投11中，三分3中1，罚球6中6，拿到全队最高的29分5篮板4助攻1盖帽。
奥胖划水，11中8，罚球8中1，拿到17分12篮板4盖帽。
While the audience applauded the stable performance of the Big Three, Stern was knocking his head with a headache in the office.
As expected, the powerful Heat attracted a large number of fans for the finals. The peak of today's ratings is even close to the most glorious moment in the NBA before Jordan retired for the second time.
However, games that lose suspense too early have greatly reduced the audience's retention rate.
Although the lowest point is also higher than the highest ratings of the Salted Fish War of the Spurs and Nets in 03.
But just like many gambling dogs who play big aces, they always regard the highest assets as their own inherent assets. How much they earn is secondary, and the main thing is how much they can earn...
It's hard for the Mavericks to expect anything. With today's performance in three quarters, it's hard for Nowitzki to win even if he scored 50 points in the Western Conference Finals.
That gimmick can only be dug on the Big Three.
The disintegration of the Big Three?
This thing is all bad.
Who will the FMVP win in the end?
Good reason, but not enough to keep viewers in front of the TV.
When he was thinking about how to hype, Mo Wen on TV also accepted the post-match interview and was about to leave.
But just as he was about to leave, he thought of something again, turned around and picked up the microphone, showed a charming smile in front of the camera, and then said slowly:
"Oh, by the way, I really hope that Coach Johnson can improve their offense. They need offense instead of pointless defense like they are now. The next game will be my last game in Miami as a Heat player. , I'm not keeping any more, so - tsk, good luck to them."
The reporters froze for a moment, and then they all exclaimed.
This short sentence has a lot of confidence.
——The Mavericks' offense is so bad that even the hostile Mo can't stand it!
- Don't think the Mavericks' defense was a failure!
——The official announcement is clear, Mo will leave the team next season!
——Mo has the confidence to end the game within 5 games! (232 competition system for the finals)
—— Mo kept his hands in the previous games?
——No longer low-key, Mo intends to give back to the fans by breaking out in the next game!
The reporters who came back to their senses held up their microphones like crazy and wanted to continue asking questions, but Mo Wen didn't stay to explain.
Follow the inner passage to yo-yo.
It's so exciting to run after loading!
……
After listening to Mo Wen's words, Stern couldn't believe it at first, and asked two equally excited subordinates to confirm twice in a row before he clapped his hands happily.
Mo, you are my god!
What MJ, stand aside, I'm so unfamiliar!
Ordinary football stars dare to play like this, there must be few people who agree with him, and those who agree with him just want to see his jokes.
But Mo Wen is different. He has created a scoring record in a single quarter. He scored a record-breaking 50+ triple-double in the playoffs before.
Propaganda to the labor and management, the media to the labor and management.
It doesn't matter whether Mo Wen breaks his promise to get fat or does what he says, let's start the topic first.
The media who were still discussing whether this year will be the least suspenseful championship, the next second, it was like a shark smelling blood, and began to grasp Mo Wen's possible performance in the next game and started a discussion.
On the other side, the little general who heard the news trembled angrily.
What do you mean?
This is the finals!The Mavericks are the champions of the Western Conference!
There must be a limit to looking down on people, right? !
The Mavericks players were also angry, clamoring to give Mo Wen some color in the next game.
But calm down, and look at his "death notice" combined with Mo Wen's performance in G1 in the finals, and he really calmed down.
Everyone turned their attention to Nowitzki and the little general.
Nowitzki squeezed his fist without saying a word, got up and left, went back to his room and set the alarm clock to 4 o'clock, closed his eyes and began to sleep forcefully.
It's just that the muscles that were just relaxed by the masseur did not stay relaxed all the time.
The little general nodded quite calmly, as if leaving everything to me.
He turned around and locked himself in the room.
Half an hour later, before his scalp was scratched, the little general finally couldn't help but took out the phone...
drop--
The phone was connected for about half a minute, and neither side spoke.
A slightly sleepy chuckle came from the other end of the phone.
"Hehe, why, did you call it by accident? Or do you have no courage to speak?"
The little general exhaled like a deflated rubber ball.
"I'm sorry, forgive me teacher, I really don't know how to apologize to you, I have already come here, but this happened."
Avery Johnson let go of his aggressiveness in front of the players, and spoke helplessly like a child who has made a mistake.
"Hey, Avery, are you insulting me, old man? You've led the Mavericks to the Finals, the best result the Dallas Mavericks have ever had, what are you trying to say now, you screwed up? You So I'm going to hang up."
Old Nelson on the other end of the phone joked with a dissatisfied tone.
"No, no, I just want to say that I am a successor. You know what I can do with that little thing in my stomach. The current results are all based on the plan you made before." Ai Fury hurriedly explained.
"Then you say you messed up now, do you want to say that this is the problem I left behind?"
Old Nelson continued to tease his former disciple.
"No, no, no, it's all my fault. It's because of my lack of ability that I made it like this." Avery could only continue to explain with a wry smile.
"Hehe, you kid..." Old Nelson smiled in satisfaction, "I told you that you don't need to apologize or anything. What you have achieved now has surpassed me, and it is enough to make the Dallas fans proud. This is the finals. ,"
"I know what you want to ask, but to be honest, my vision is only in the Western Conference finals, and the help I can give you is very limited."
"This is your team, a team that you pulled together with your own hands, you can't leave it alone, can you?"
Avery was in a hurry. During the rest period of the week before the finals, in addition to leading the team's daily training, he also prepared a half-book-thick combat book, but the content of the game was out of his control within a few rounds of the game. .
In his eyes, it is the player gap, anyway, he really has nothing to do.
"No, this is your team Avery, the Mavericks used to be my kid, but now..." Old Nelson coughed as if stuck in phlegm.
"It's still your child now, if you don't believe me, I'll call Dirk over..."
"Ahem, but that Cuban guy doesn't pay me a salary, so it's really hard for me to feel involved, hahahaha." Old Nelson laughed as soon as the topic changed.
(Note: The literal translation of Cuban is Cuba, and he himself is Cuban)
breathe--
After taking a deep breath, Avery slowly calmed down his maddened heart.
"teacher--"
"Okay, okay, stop joking, I can understand your feelings, so let's be straightforward, do you know what the biggest problem in Dallas is now?"
Avery was quick-witted, and immediately sat upright, picked up a pen and tapped on the paper.
"Teacher, say it."
"The most critical problem is that you haven't found your position yet." Old Nelson said earnestly.
"After the Western Conference finals, you called me and I told you that the Mavericks are just a challenger, a warrior who climbed up from the ground in a video game, you have to be in awe, you have to be humble, you have to be nervous, you have to Be bold, you have to be calm, you have to be angry, you have to stay absolutely focused like walking a tightrope, and most importantly, you have to keep moving forward."
"Tell me about what you are like now? You imagine yourself as an equal competitor, and then you encounter a little setback, like a turtle, you just stop and let them throw it like a football. Throw them in the trash!"
"Do you think the winner's words are looking down on you? Think about it, he has already told you how you should play in this round of the series! He has already taught you what you want to ask."
Old Nelson breathed into the phone for a while, as if he had returned to the days of coaching and yelling at the players on the sidelines.
Avery's pen trembled, he put it down and began to meditate.
He also thought about abandoning defense and playing full attack basketball like last year, but subconsciously he always felt that following Mo Wen's "will" was to admit defeat.
"Like last year, the risk is too great. Once we can't keep up with the rhythm, the halftime may be garbage time. If Steve is here, I think I can try it, but..."
"Hehe, is there a difference between the garbage time in the third quarter and the garbage time in the halftime? Don't tell me you haven't watched the video of that kid's explosion. According to your current tactics, you think he is not capable of trashing you in halftime. Is it time?"
"He's not a god..." Avery felt that Old Nelson was a bit exaggerated. Mo Wen is very strong, but can he still be stronger than Danzi?
"Yes, of course he is not a god, he is a winner, he is a winner, he is a natural winner, he is a natural winner who won three championships in three years! He is not the son of God who is blown up by the media!" Old Nelson tapped The table, said with a hatred of iron and steel.
"There are still three games in the series, and they haven't won yet." Avery replied weakly.
"Ha, you know there are three more games? Hell, I thought you would be so ambitious, Falk, since you know it will be difficult for you to win, why are you still pretending to be decent?" Old Nelson was cursing, full of anger.
"I know, you are afraid of losing, you are afraid of losing too badly, you are afraid that the players will lose confidence, you are afraid that you will lose trust, so you still dare not take that step."
"If you win the fight, you won't get the final victory, and if you lose the game and lose miserably, you may become a disgrace to Dallas and the NBA. You may be labeled as incompetent and consume the first few rounds. Hard earned accolades, right?"
Avery was silent, the white paper in front of his eyes was like a mirror, unreservedly reflecting his dark skin and the nightmare that kept him awake at night.
"Avery, I've been following one principle all my life - don't do things you regret."
drop--
After half an hour.
The red-eyed Avery angrily crumpled up the white paper in front of him and threw it aside.
MD stinky old man, anyway, the job is given by you, and when the time comes, I really lose my job and adults, and I will depend on you to eat your food and drink your food at home!
On the other side, the old Nelson, who had finished venting, came out of the study cheerfully, and accompanied his granddaughter to watch the animation before going to bed.
"Daddy, I'm calling again, it's my younger brother." In the study, the daughter poked her head out and shouted again.
"Tell him, I'm asleep!" Old Nelson raised his eyelids. Little Nelson is still the general manager of the Mavericks, and he knows what it is to make a phone call with his ass.He just finished spraying Avery and it's still cool.
"He said he didn't believe it." The eldest daughter showed a helpless smile.
"Then let him go!"
……
During the rest of the recovery training on the second day, Wade, who was worried, and Ao Pang, who pretended to be worried, sandwiched Mo Wen in the middle of the bench.
"What did your boy mean by those words yesterday?"
Ao Pang held a newspaper, pointed to a front page and "questioned" Mo Wen.
"The Last Show: What kind of gorgeous curtain call will he bring?" "
The picture below is a mysterious theater photo with the curtain drawn, which fits the scene very well.
Among the photos and titles, there is a line in medium size and bold, the original words of Mo Wen's declaration at the press conference yesterday.
Mo Wen wrinkled his nose from the familiar smell of sweat and raised his eyebrows.
"Literally, what's the problem?"
"Of course there is a problem. Didn't we agree on fair competition? You are breaking the rules of the game!"
Ao Pang said dissatisfiedly, and Wade also nodded fiercely.
"Yeah, fair competition, isn't it normal for me to use all my strength to compete fairly with you guys? Is it possible that you guys still want to play like a playboy, holding hands and singing nursery rhymes to compete with you?" Mo Wen rolled his eyes and said.
"You bastard...you know what we mean!" Wade couldn't help it, and said with a serious face.
"Ah~~Of course I know what you mean. Who do you think I am, but if you two acted like a person before, would I not pass the ball to you two?"
"I said that to let you see how strong I am when I get serious!" Mo Wenming said very flatly, but it always gave people a very attractive feeling.
"Hmph, that's fine...wait, I always feel that you are connoting us, we are like human beings, when did we not look like human beings?" O'Fang and Wade brought it up just after they breathed a sigh of relief.
"8 of 1 free throws on the field, do you feel like a human being?"
"Fuck, I'm just letting them in. Do you understand? If I don't hit those free throws, it's already TM garbage time..."
"Don't talk about Shaq, Dwyane is holding back, don't hold back, Dwyane, just laugh if you want."
"Damn it, watch me kill you two, this year's FMVP is mine!"
"The FMVP who made 8 of 1 free throws?"
"Fack squid, watch my shark swoop!"
