Chapter 133 Fighting the Mavericks(1/2)
Losing to the Lakers did not affect the mood of Knicks fans.
But the fact that Chen Feng was maliciously fouled still made all the Knicks fans angry.
What are you doing?
Your name is Meta Waldpis?
You are just arrogant?
Just you can fight?
Brothers, we've gathered together! Squirt this bitch to death!
At our home court, you dare to take action!
Are you really not afraid of death?
Come together!
Going to him!
Especially the Knicks fans are now particularly "protecting". Chen Feng still remembers that after many stars have performed highlights in Madison Square Garden, the Knicks fans will stand up and applaud him.
But now is different from the past. No matter how much other people’s children praise them, how can their own children be painful?
For example, in the game between the Knicks and the Lakers, the Knicks fans were booing the "volute". Chen Feng's appearance made the Knicks fans who have been tortured over the years feel: it's dawn.
Speaking of which, if you can compete with the Knicks during this period, you can only look for it on the football field.
After all, whether it is hard or not, it depends on whether the Reds Liverpool is sad or not. Bayern Munich is the one who belongs to Bayern Munich.
......
...
The Knicks' next opponent is the Dallas Mavericks.
This is a Maverick who is not called the Mavericks.
The Mavericks only joined the NBA in the 1980-1981 season, but soon became a competitive team.
In the 1980s, the Mavericks were always regarded as a promising team. But in the early 1990s, the Mavericks began to go downhill and approached the team's worst record twice. Starting from the mid-1990s, the Mavericks began to recover.
1980-1981 was the first season of the Mavericks. The Mavericks ended with a bad record of 15 wins and 67 losses, but they have since played for many years. By the 1983-1984 season, the Mavericks achieved 43 wins and 39 losses and entered the playoffs for the first time.
In the 1988-1989 season, injuries hit the Mavericks, leaving them out of the playoffs for the first time in six years. They entered the playoffs again in 1990, but some of them were in the process of team reconstruction for many years and failed to stay away from the playoffs for 10 consecutive years.
The Mavericks' misery finally came to an end. In the 2000-2001 season, after failing to enter the playoffs in 11 seasons, the Mavericks finally washed away their luster and entered the playoffs again. Finley and Nowitzki became the leading stars and led the team to a record of 53 wins and 29 losses. In the first round of the playoffs, although they started with a two-game losing streak, the Mavericks then scored 30% in a row and entered the second round. In front of the Spurs, the young Mavericks lost 1-4.
Since the 2001-02 season, the Mavericks have truly become a strong team in the West. The boss Cuban has recruited stars without hesitation. With Nowitzki as the core, star players such as Finley, Nash, Terry have played for the Mavericks. In the 2005-06 season, he defeated his old rival Spurs with a thrilling 4-3 and reached the finals. With almost everyone optimistic about it and leading 2-0, he was finally reversed by the Heat 2-4 and won the runner-up.
Get back to the point.
After the "gun gate" incident, the Mavericks exchanged Josh Howard for Caron Butler, which further enhanced the team's strength.
This Mavericks has actually been a "favorite in the championship" over the years. Many outsiders believe that the reason why the Mavericks cannot win the championship is because their star Nowitzki is too soft and poor driver. They all have high jump shots, have higher scoring efficiency, and are loyal, but they are always called "soft eggs".
In sharp contrast, another player can make people say that he is cruel and iron-blooded by just punching his chest and stamping his feet with one hand...
Is it a distortion of human nature? Or a decay of morality?
Of course, the biggest change for the Mavericks this offseason is to sign veteran Kidd back in exchange for All-Star player Marion. Dallas will have its own Big Four.
Indeed, Nowitzki, Kidd, Josh Howard, and Marion were all selected as All-Stars, and their Big Four is definitely not a false reputation. However, a careful analysis is not difficult to find that their Big Four is very fake: Marion is a swinger at the No. 3 and 4 positions. In the game, he can not only serve as a substitute for Nowitzki and compete with Josh Howard for the starter at the No. 3 position, but this can only relieve the pressure from the top two and cannot solve the fundamental problem of the Mavericks. Their Big Four are suspected of overlapping positions.
The most fundamental problem of the Mavericks is the center and point guard, which is also the fundamental reason why the Mavericks cannot reach the top in the 2005-2006 season.
In the 2006-2007 season, the Mavericks made great progress and entered the playoffs with a record of 67 wins and 15 losses. Nowitzki became the regular season MVP with averaging 24.6 points and 8.9 rebounds. However, the unstoppable Mavericks were created by the Warriors in history as the "Black Eight Miracle".
There are many reasons for this. Old Nelson knows the Mavericks well, and King No. 1 is also the culprit for not being able to get tough at critical moments. However, the fundamental key is that the Mavericks' inside line was beaten by the Warriors without any power to fight back. Of course, Harris can't escape the blame for being completely destroyed.
In 2007-2008, Kuban replaced Harris with Kidd, because in the old Nelson era, the Mavericks needed Kidd but did not have Kidd, and in the Carlisle era, he needed pick-and-roll but gave up Harris who was good at pick-and-roll.
While making the Mavericks embarrassed on the court, their record plummeted. In the 2007-2008 season, they entered the playoffs with the record of 7th in the Western Conference, and their final appearance was fully demonstrated.
Even after running-in last season, Kidd slowly regained his competitive state, and his average assists per game could reach 8.7 times. However, time is unforgiving, Kidd can no longer run fast and jump high. He has already lost all the way in the confrontation with the junior defenders, and he has become an absolute loophole in the team's defense.
Of course, Kidd can still achieve great things with excellent experience, but it is obviously not suitable to be a team that is determined to win the championship.
Just like back then, point guard is still the Mavericks' problem, but not the biggest problem. The Mavericks' biggest problem is still in the inside. Danpier once called himself "the second center in the West", but now it has become an absolute joke.
In the 2005-2006 season, it was O'Neal, who was still strong, who beat the "Second Center in the West" to the point where Wade's team had the opportunity to win the championship, and the Flash's decision was made that King No. 1 was strong.
In fact, if Nowitzki had a center like the "Shark" around me, I think Wade could only do nothing. During the "Black Eight" period, the penalty area guarded by Danpier was in chaos under the bombardment of the "Golden State Bandits". Even Chandler, who is also a blue-collar worker, could beat Danpier, and it would not be surprising that he would stop in the first round again last season.
Even though the Mavericks were eliminated in the Western Conference semi-finals of the Nuggets last season, Danpier was completely defeated by Nene and others, it was also the biggest culprit. In the offseason, the Mavericks were expected to introduce strong players, and they even spared no expense to give the Magic substitute center a five-year contract of 34 million. However, the Magic chose to follow up, and the Mavericks were useless to get a bamboo basket.
This restore was not over. The Mavericks were poached by the Magic. The inside player Bass, who performed well last season, defected to the Magic. Dallas's strength in the penalty area did not increase but instead. Even if he finally made up for Guden, he would think about how the center who was abandoned by the Spurs could become an opponent of Duncan, Gasol and others.
......
"Guide Zhang, tonight's Knicks are fighting against the Mavericks, how do you think the Knicks should target the Mavericks?" Yu Jia asked curiously before the game.
"It's hard to say. The Mavericks have Nowitzki! The Knicks are not easy to play in this game, and it mainly depends on Chen Feng's performance. I hope the experience of the previous game will not affect Xiao Shen's game rhythm." said Zhang Helili.
The Knicks start tonight: Chen Feng, Du Hong, Chandler, Harrington and Milicic.
The Mavericks starters: Kidd, Butler, Marion, Nowitzki and Haywood.
Gallinari and David Lee are all truce today.
So just now, coach Zhang Heli was worried about Chen Feng's state. The only two Knicks who could open up space for Chen Feng on the offensive end did not fight today, which means that Chen Feng was under greater pressure.
"Ki doesn't attack" dribble through half the game, and this Mavericks has many offensive routines. In the first few seasons when Kidd first joined the Mavericks, his three-pointers have been very accurate. He averaged 2.2 and 3 points per game this season, with a shooting percentage of up to 42.5%.
Kidd was undoubtedly the team's engine. He did not play the ball by himself, but chose to play a pass and cut.
It was given to the senior drivers.
The old driver is really amazing.
Many people say that he is not tough enough and too soft, but it is the style of an experienced driver.
This guy is good at playing that style of ball, can be inside and outside, and is a very typical European insider.
But compared to the two Gasols, the veteran drivers should be more average and have a little higher strength.
The veteran driver held the ball at a high position.
In this position, the Knicks have almost no way to limit it.
Because the farmer Milicic couldn't defend himself.
Others went to repair the safety of veteran drivers and seemed to be insufficient in height and could only be beaten.
Kidd's first attack showed his control of the situation tactics and a fatal analysis of the team's weaknesses.
There was a gap in the Knicks' defense line. Facing Chen Feng who was repairing the defense, the old driver leaned gently, then pulled it up directly, and then the iconic "Golden Rooster Independent" took action!
Durant has also practiced this move in the future, but Chen Feng will not use this move even if he is killed, because this move really affects the style of painting. Chen Feng has bounced and has a stagnant air, and Kobe's picturesque backward is more suitable for him.
But this trick is indeed amazing.
The key is that the shooting point is really high, and Shen Feng can't block it. The basketball drew a rainbow-like parabola in the air and then fell into the Nets.
Nowitzki's shooting curve is very high, and people think that his shooting moves are very slow, but in fact, Nowitzki's move was very fast. He is tall and weight, and with the ultimate move of "Golden Rooster Independence", it is difficult to block it.
Not to mention Chen Feng, even Milicic comes, it is difficult to seal it.
2-0, the Mavericks scored two points first.
Knicks attack.
Today, the Knicks are in a double-back system again, mainly because Lao De doesn't want to get into the quagmire of positional battle with the Mavericks, because the Knicks are a steady loss in the positional battle.
Chen Feng held the ball through the half.
u1s1, Kidd's defense is really good, but he is really old. When Chen Feng accelerates, Kidd can't keep up.
Shen Feng advanced through the half-time like a whirlwind.
Kidd chased behind him tightly, but the distance between the two grew wider and wider.
Front court.
When he arrived at the three-point line, Chen Feng looked at the defense line in front of him.
Kidd was still behind, with only one retreating Butler in front.
Chen Feng did not hesitate, and took action directly with three points-
Swish!
Also!
2 to 3!
"You really don't say that Chen Feng's playing style really restrains the Mavericks!" said Zhang Heli.
"Yes, the Knicks have no choice but to fight Nowitzki, and the Mavericks have no choice but to fight Shen Feng." Yu Jia echoed.
Front court.
Kidd pushed forward and left it to the old driver.
