I really just want to be a role player

Chapter 491 The 2012 playoffs, the defending champion Dallas Mavericks' first match!
The final game ended on the 26th, and the 11/12 season officially came to an end.

The old ginger of the Spurs showed a sophisticated ability to control the court. In the situation of injuries and aging lineup reorganization, he showed a steady coercion. When he didn't need home court advantage, he just played healthy basketball. When the game was dominant, he was invincible in the world, with a record of 52 wins and 14 losses, he won the first place in the regular season.

The Bulls also had a record of 52 wins and 14 losses, but lost a small point in the game against the Spurs, and Rose's team could only take second place.

After all, if Rose hadn't been injured, and instead of just playing 39 games and 17 fewer games, what would other teams have to compete with the Bulls?
Compared with the Bulls, the Thunder will not be wronged, and will not feel sad for losing the first place in the regular season in the last two weeks after being the leader for more than 3 months.

Of course, Durant probably suffered a little injury. After all, he was once ranked No.1 on the regular season MVP list, but now he has slipped to No.3.

Regular season MVP and scoring champion, he could have wanted both, but in order to preserve his personal honor, he had no choice...

Fortunately, with his hard work in the last week, he averaged 28 points per game and retained his title of scoring leader. Durant continued his three-game scoring streak.

Kobe is only 0.1 away from the average points per game, and lost the honor of the scoring champion. It can only be said that the competition for the scoring champion is too dangerous.

Ranked No. 4 is the Heat, James' team, which only scored 49 wins and 17 losses. After all, Wade also suffered from injuries and only played 49 games.

If you play 52 games.

Well, it's really hard to say who will win the first place in the regular season.

It can only be said that under the influence of injuries, the Spurs have the blessing of an excellent team and their performance is more stable.

The Spurs and Mavericks have confirmed the first and second places in the West, and the rankings of other teams have also been released.

The Lakers ranked No.3, with only 41 wins and 25 losses.

Ranked No.4 is the Grizzlies, also 41 wins and 25 losses. After all, in the division record, the Grizzlies are not as good as the Spurs, while the Lakers are No.1 in the Pacific Division Minor League. I can only resign myself to it.

Of course, the gap is not that big, and the gap with the championship team is quite a lot.

The Clippers ranked fifth, with 5 wins and 38 losses, which is their own choice.

The Nuggets have no choice, also 38 wins and 28 losses, ranking sixth, but they have to challenge the nemesis of the Lakers.

The Mavericks also made a choice in the last round. They won the game, and with a record of 36 wins and 30 losses, they won the seventh place and will face the Thunder.

After all, referring to last season's matchup, the young Thunder team is too young and easy to be manipulated.

Playing against the Spurs, I don't have that confidence. Even if the Spurs have a lot of problems, no one dares to choose to face the Spurs in the playoffs.

The Jazz have no choice. After sending away Deron and Buzebub, the new Utah duo, and rebuilding, they can make it to the playoffs, and they have already earned it.

Anyone can touch it!
In the 11/12 season, the first round of the playoffs started on the 28th, highlighting a fast word.

You know, in previous years, the game usually started before the 20th, and this season has been postponed for more than a week, and there is still room for the team to rest.

The first-round matchups in the Western Conference playoffs are as follows:
Spurs VS Jazz!
Thunder VS Mavericks!
Lakers VS Nuggets!
Grizzlies VS Clippers!
……

The Thunder's 12-man roster for the playoffs is officially announced.

Center: Perkins, Muhammad, Cole Aldridge.

Power Forward: Ibaka, Collison.

Small forwards: Durant, Sefolosha.

Shooting guard: Su Bei, Harden.

Point guards: Westbrook, Billups, Royal Ivey.

As soon as the lineup came out, it immediately showed the Thunder's terrifying outside strength.

There is scoring leader Durant, who averaged 28 points, 8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.

Westbrook has 22 points, 4.5 assists and 4 rebounds. As a scorer, he also has the appearance of a superstar.

Of course, it's weaker as an organizer.

Fortunately, the Thunder team doesn't need an organization, and it's quite strong as an individual.

Subei scored 18 points, 3 assists and 4 rebounds. Judging from the time of the Mavericks, it has dropped by more than [-] million points. Fortunately, he did not lose face as a high-level role player, and he is still responsible for the appearance of the Thunder.

You can't compare to your appearance!
Ok!

The most stable and handsome one with three points.

Harden averaged 15 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game, showing his talents as a super sixth man.

Coupled with Billups' average of 8 points and 5 assists per game, and Sefolosha's defense...

The Thunder's outside line is the only one in the league in terms of combat effectiveness.

It's just a pity that the inside line dragged down the Thunder.

Ibaka is the strongest in the team, he can score 8 points and 8 rebounds. This stats and style cannot be said to be similar to the Eight Sage Kings, it can only be said to be exactly the same.

The rest of Perkins averaged 5 wins and 5 rebounds per game, and Muhammad averaged 3 points and 3 rebounds... nothing.

It was decided to play against the Mavericks. During the rest period, Su Bei seemed very relaxed. After all, he was too familiar with the situation of this old team.

June 4, Chesapeake Center Arena.

Night falls.

At this time, the home court of the Thunder is about to usher in the opening game of the 11/12 season playoffs against the Mavericks. The lights are bright and there are crowds of people.

During the warm-up, Durant and Nowitzki were chatting and laughing, and for a few cents, they felt like they were chatting together.

On the contrary, Kidd was more calm, added a few cents, and immediately returned to the day of chatting about a few cents.

Su Bei couldn't hide, after all, he brought the talent of winning the championship to the Dallas Mavericks.

Say hello to Nowitz, Kidd, Marion, Terry, etc.

They didn't go to the same window together, but they had the friendship of carrying guns together, and the day of talking about a few cents must not be omitted.

At this time, on the big screen in the arena, the starting lineups of the two sides for tonight's match were also displayed.

The Mavericks started five tigers, Haywood, Nowitzki, Marion, Delonty West, Kidd.

The Thunder started with five players, Ibaka, Durant, Subei, Billups, Westbrook.

The game was broadcast live by TNT radio station. Barkley partnered with Kenny Smith, and invited Jeff Van Gundy and O'Neill as guests to form a commentary team.

"There's nothing to say, one is youthful and invincible, and the other is old.

My guess is [-]-[-], with the Thunder at eight and the Mavericks at two.

As far as this winning rate is concerned, I still give face to the defending champion, otherwise, I think it is reasonable to give [-] to [-]. "

"No, not right!!

I don't see it that way, I think it's a [-]-[-] split.

Don't laugh, I have my reasons, and they are real money.

Even Barkley knew that the Mavericks would definitely lose to the Thunder in this series.

Everyone else, most of the world, thinks the same way.

But what if the Mavs treat Game [-] as a series-defining game? "

"You mean, the Mavericks will fight this game to the death, and then use the leading psychological advantage to control the field, so that the young and contemptuous Thunder team, before they can react, lose the series because they can't bear the pressure. match?

Your point of view is sound and scientific.

After all, that's the only way the Mavericks can go.

In that case, it is indeed [-]-[-]. "

"Never underestimate the heart of a champion, especially the heart of an old boy.

If the Thunder underestimate the Mavericks, they will probably be hit head-on..."

The game is on!

beep-!
The whistle sounded, and the referee threw the basketball high in his hand. Nowitzki defeated Ibaka and won the first attack for the Mavericks.

Kidd took control of the ball and took the ball to the neck without rushing, and was watched by Billups.

Su Bei set his sights on Marion.

He ran to the three-point line in the left bottom corner and chatted about how much money was made.

"I bet you don't have a three-point shot and can't contain my help defense!"

"Don't bet, I really didn't!
Whether in the Suns or the Mavericks, I didn't have a solid three-pointer.

Don't break it, still a good friend. "

"All right!
Since we're good friends, I'll take it easy this time, you can make a mouse tail juice, but don't break our tacit understanding. "

"..."

On the left side, one is handsome and the other is ugly, chatting like no one in the three-point area of ​​the bottom corner, without any public morality at all.

Still, it makes sense!
Whether it is the Thunder or the Mavericks, the main attack point is not on the two of them.

Sure enough, Kidd called West's name and distributed the basketball.

"Dribbling the ball to beat Westbrook, Westbrook, who is more physically gifted, fought and retreated, and used the press to stop Westbrook's breakthrough.

Hey, I went in and jumped out again.

The basketball returned to Kidd's hands. At this time, Nowitzki moved from the left to the right without the ball. Kidd made a screen from the top arc and handed the basketball hand to Nowitzki. hands.

Durant was too skinny, he was blocked by Kidd, and Billups could only switch over, but it was useless..."

This is a misplacement. Lifting the ball and swaying, mobilizing Billups' defensive center of gravity, he immediately dribbled the ball in and broke through. Billups followed him without panic. He turned around and gave a buttock, squeezed forward again, and then , shaking his shoulders, turning around, jumping up, and raising his hand is a golden rooster stand-alone jumper shot...

No matter how hard Billups tried, in the end he could only hear the gunshots. This position was too misplaced.

You can't stand it!
Swish-!
With a knife in his hand, Nowitzki entertained Billups with his signature gesture.

The Mavericks took the lead in opening the scoring account.

2 to 0! !
"pretty!!

Very nice team offense.

Although it was Nowitzki's personal ability to score in the end, the details of the team cooperation were simple and beautiful, and he played the style of the defending champion.

From calling West's dribbling breakthrough, to Kidd's screen support when he regained the ball, to Nowitzki's dislocation, post-up single goal, the essence of the offense of the 2011 championship Mavericks, the performance The most vivid..."

The first is the DDM tactics, which exhausted the Thunder's defense line, and then used Kidd's field control organization, and then used Nowitzki's all-around offensive ability of the libero, and steadily hit the jumper...

What do you use to top it?
You can't stand it!
The original framework and system of the Mavericks have not changed.

There is still something in this tactical system that can win the championship.

At least, the Mavericks have solved the flaw of not having a solid corner three-pointer.

Su Bei wants to help defend, and Durant will attack Nowitzki, but it is very likely that they will not be able to do so.

Not even possible, but sure.

In just the first round, Coach Carlisle showed his tactical mastery!
In contrast, Scott Brooks' Blind Ji Ba nanda tactics are too weak.
