In the Mavericks vs. Lakers, the key to the victory or defeat lies in the performance of Kobe and Nowitzki. Interestingly, these two are both controversial stars.

The Mavericks reached the finals in 2006, which can be said to be the closest year to the championship. However, they were turned back by Wade and O'Neal's Heat with a 2-0 lead. Last season, the Mavericks achieved the best record in team history, with 67 wins and 15 losses, almost breaking the Bulls' dynasty's 70-win record. They are undoubtedly the biggest favorites to win the championship, but they were eliminated by the Warriors with a terrifyingly high three-point shooting percentage and lightning fast break with a total score of 4-2, and encountered the first "Black Eight Miracle" since the NBA's first round was changed to 7 games and 4 wins.

The Dallas Mavericks' record this season has dropped sharply, and "one move, one loses again, and three loses" is the most suitable way to describe them. As the absolute core of the Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki has also been labeled as a "soft egg".

In fact, Nowitzki is taking the blame for his teammates. In the past few seasons, the collective ups and downs of the Mavericks have made people ignore Nowitzki's personal strength. His playoff data has been gorgeous and stable. In his 37 games, he has scored at least 25 points and 10 rebounds in his playoff career. In this regard, only O'Neal's 62 times and Duncan's 51 times were better than him. In the fifth game of the Western Conference Finals with the Suns in 2006, he even scored 50 points by himself. At 7 feet tall, he can shoot from any position on the court, and he has performed very stably every season.

The main reason why the Mavericks have not won the championship for a long time should be their interesting boss Marcus Cuban.

Kuban felt that his chest muscles were not big enough, so he chose breast augmentation, and then he became a representative of big breasts and brainlessness. In the transfer market, Kuban was generous and was willing to spend money, but he made many stupid transactions.

The stupidest one is signing Eric Danpier in 2004. From 1996 to 2003, Danpier's statistics can only be described as terrible. The score has reached double digits in only one season, while the rebounds have never been 10. The offense is not good, and the rebounds are not good. Even if such a center gives him a middle class, who would be so idiotic that he gives him 10 million? The answer is Cuban.

Everyone knows that the Mavericks were short of the inside in 2004, so Cuban poached the league in a big way. It happened that in the 2003-2004 season, in the wonderful contract year, Danpier scored 12 points and 12 rebounds in every game, so Danpier began to shamelessly call himself the "No. 2 center in the league". One was willing to spend money, the other was shameless, and two people with abnormal IQ hit it off, and a seven-year, 73 million contract was born. The development of things was not beyond the expectations of fans. Since 2004, Danpier's data has indeed become worse every year. Because of this waste, Kuban rejected Nash's contract extension, allowing the Suns to take a big advantage.

There is also Mike Finley, a player who has never been selected for the All-Star Game, signed a seven-year, 102 million contract in 2001. In August 2005, the Mavericks used the amnesty clause to lay off Finley, but they still had to pay the remaining salary for Finley. Finley made the Mavericks pay a luxury tax of 20 million a year.

In short, Cuban manages the Mavericks every year, three years of "defecation". Apart from Danpier, the Mavericks only have Diop who can't attack and the young Brandon Bass in the interior. Unfortunately, the fans will not blame the inside players for their disadvantages. They will only say that Nowitzki is too soft. Nowitzki's characteristic is that his touch is soft. If he is asked to give up his specialties and rush into the interior to compete with others for muscles, isn't it putting the cart before the horse?

In comparison, Kobe is much lucky, at least he already has three championship rings.

After leaving O'Neal, Kobe failed to lead the team to break through the first round of the playoffs. He is perhaps the most controversial star in the NBA. In this world, there are as many people who like him as they hate him.

Those who like Kobe can develop a set of laws. The Lakers win + Kobe's high score = Kobe's credit; the Lakers win + Kobe's low score = Kobe's selflessness; the Lakers lose + Kobe's high score = Teammates not good; the Lakers lose + Kobe's low score = Teammates not good + teammates not good + injury. The referee favors the other party is also the reason these fans like to find. Kobe can't laugh and cry after seeing such a law.

People who hate Kobe will say that he is selfish, shooting and scoring high, and making more shots. He should be "hee-swish" when making video highlights. Losing is all Kobe's responsibility, and his teammates are just taking the blame... In this way, no one should be Kobe's teammate, but the fact is not the case. In addition to leading players who like to play ball and are persistent in privileges, most people hope to become Kobe's teammates.

Kobe's offense is very strong, and he dares to take responsibility. The teammates' tasks will be easier. When Kobe feels good, just pass the ball to Kobe and watch him ravage his opponent and win the game easily and spend a wonderful night. When Kobe feels bad, he will still attack. At this time, his teammates don't have to bear any pressure. The big title in the news must be "Kobe only made x in n shots, and the Lakers lost the game."

The Lakers players will not take the blame for Kobe. If there is one person in the Lakers who are taking the blame, it is Kobe, because everyone knows that this is his team. Who is responsible if he loses?

Kobe is actually the complete culprit, not only taking it on the field, but also on the field.

Let’s talk about the venue first. In the summer of 2003, the administrative attorney of Eagle County received a complaint from a 19-year-old hotel waiter to investigate Kobe’s sexual assault case. Kobe was undergoing knee surgery in Colorado and was recuperating at the Cordillera Hotel in Eagle County. The waiter accused Kobe of QJ in her hotel room the night before preparing for the operation. Kobe admitted to having sex with the plaintiff but denied the plaintiff’s allegation of sexual assault. In the end, although Kobe won the case, his image plummeted and his character was questioned by many people.

With a little analysis of the whole story, it is easy to understand the truth. With Kobe's popularity at that time, if he likes a woman, the woman with a hook finger will be delivered to the door obediently? You should know that the United States' openness to sex is shocking. At that time, Kobe still had tts, why is QJ still available to bring this? And that's in a hotel, isn't that woman not resisting? No one agrees to the throat?

Afterwards, the woman used this as evidence for threats. The legal emphasis was on evidence. TT was iron evidence. Kobe had no way to prove whether he raped the woman or adultery. The woman knew that forcibly suing Kobe would not get any benefits. So the final solution was that Kobe compensated the woman with one million US dollars to settle and withdraw the lawsuit. Afterwards, Kobe held a press conference accompanied by his wife Vanessa and cried bitterly. At that time, most people speculated that the Eagle County waitress was deliberately extorting Kobe and it was successful!

In the 2004 finals, the Lakers fell at the feet of the grassroots Pistons. No one blamed Malone, no one blamed O'Neal, no one blamed Payton. They only blamed Kobe, blamed "QJ" Kobe for making more attacks, blamed him for his mistakes last year that affected the morale of the army, blamed him for being a cancer in the locker room.

In the offseason in 2004, the Lakers sent O'Neal away for three reasons. One is that the conflict between O'Neal and Kobe has been around for a long time; the other is that O'Neal's condition has declined at the age of 32. After fulfilling the last two years of contract, he also asked the Lions to renew the two-year contract with the Lakers for $60 million. Such a deal will definitely be a loss for Bass. It is better to let the storm come earlier than the discomfort in the future; the third is that the O'Neal's combination has teamed up for seven seasons and won three consecutive championships.

This Lakers team no longer has the motivation to compete for the championship. They urgently need to rebuild. The main task of reconstruction is to make the team younger and introduce some players who are more eager for the championship. Under the premise of choosing one of Kobe and O'Neal, a fool will also choose the young Kobe. However, the management created the responsibility of Kobe, saying that he forced the great center away. So everyone blamed Kobe, and everyone was waiting to see him jokes to see how fragile the Lakers inside without O'Neal protecting the penalty area are.

In 2005, the Lakers failed at the last moment of the playoffs. So everyone laughed, and they all said: "Bryant, you are nothing without that fat man. Even if you already have three championship rings in your hand, it is all given to you by O'Neal!"

In 2006, Kobe won the scoring champion, stumbled and led the Lakers to the playoffs, but was reversed in the end, and the Suns staged a miracle 4:3. In the same year, the Clippers actually made it to the second round, which was a great irony to the Lakers. In the same year, the big man who was dumped by the Lakers won the first championship in the history of the Heat with Wade in Miami. Kobe won the data in the first round, lost the game, and became a laughing stock again.

In 2007, Kobe started again, but everyone still didn't like him. O'Neal even laughed at him, saying that he could only be a little brother behind him, and Kobe's championships were given by the great Shackle. Kobe did not respond, but just used points to prove himself. Then some people saw his score, and said that he was a "brush" and even said that he influenced his teammates' performance. In the playoffs, the Lakers fell at the foot of the Suns again. At that time, Kobe also felt confused. He began to direct and act in a farce, forcing the Lakers to find good helpers. Even Chicago printed Kobe's No. 24 jersey. At the beginning of the new season, everyone thought the Lakers were finished, but in the end he stayed.

Now, this man who took a lot of blame finally has a qualified helper. When he was interviewed by reporters before the game, Kobe was confident about the long game. He said: "We will definitely win this game because we have hungry wolves, and he can eat the Mavericks."

Kobe's evaluation made Ye Feng confused again. Kobe trusted him very much and Ye was satisfied with his performance. In this case, will the Lakers trade him out of the team?
