Old Nelson found that it was impossible to continue fighting like this. There was no one inside who could guard against Old K, let alone death. That was impossible. O'Neal and Oakley couldn't guard against the number one man in history even if they joined forces. They could only contain Old K.
People, the Mavericks don't have them either. Whether it's bamboo poles or LaFrenz, they're not big in tonnage, and their resistance ability is completely different from that of Old K. They can't be touched, and they will fly out as soon as they are touched.
If you can't guard Old K inside, you can only find a way to cut off the pass to Old K from the outside. But the young general Johnson is too old and can't keep up with Nash, who is famous for his speed, so now the Mavericks can't stop the Suns' offense.
of.
Now he has some doubts about whether there is a traitor in the team management. The lineup is obviously very gorgeous, but when it encounters Old K's team, it has so many weaknesses, both inside and outside?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glare at the traitor.
Little Nelson was confused, why is the old man staring at me today?
"Steve."
Nelson raised his finger at Marbury.
With his character, he would not have given Marbury a chance, but tonight is Dallas' revenge night, and he can only try to win.
After Marbury came over, he said: "Steve, when you go up and play the second position, you will face Nash on the defensive end and cut off the passing and receiving lines between him and Old K. Do you understand?"
"Understood." Marbury nodded.
On the next dead ball opportunity, Marbury replaced Griffin.
"You will never change your nature!"
When he saw Marbury asking young general Johnson for the ball in the backcourt, Nelson started to curse.
Fortunately, Johnson didn't give it and waved Marbury to move, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, under the organization of young general Johnson, the Mavericks' offense improved somewhat.
And on the defensive end, with Marbury's efforts, he made some achievements in preventing fast breaks and prevented a defensive counterattack by the Suns.
However, this cannot completely change the Mavericks' predicament, because Nowitzki has not been activated yet and he is completely locked up by Pharaoh Wang.
His height is 213 centimeters and his weight is currently 113 kilograms. He is not too big and his mobility is not bad. He is not as good as Garnett, but he is faster than the average power forward and a little slower than the average small forward.
Because his speed is not bad, he has a strong ability to play fast breaks. Last season, he was one of the ten players in the league who scored the most fast breaks, and he was the only post player among them.
But with such speed, if you meet Lao Wang, you will meet your nemesis. Lao Wang's moving speed is at the level of a small forward, and is no worse than a slower guard. No matter where he runs, he can't get rid of Lao Wang. Even if
Using the pick-and-roll, Lao Wang could also use his strong strength and tonnage advantage to force his way out of the pick-and-roll, so he was locked up.
Pharaoh has the ability to lock down Nowitzki, but the Mavericks are helpless against his defense. This is the problem that the Mavericks have to face and solve now.
However, this problem was not resolved until the end of the game.
In the end, 125:71, the Suns beat the Mavericks by 54 points. The Mavericks' night of revenge did become a night of slaughter, but of course the animals were slaughtered.
The Suns' defense is average, but they still have Wang, a five-time All-Defensive player, and Marion, but who does the Mavericks' defense have? No one.
Lao Wang played for 40 minutes and made 25 of 30 shots. His shooting percentage was astonishingly high. His ferocious attack at the basket made the Mavericks' interior look pale. In addition, he made 14 of 18 free throws and scored 64 points, 15 rebounds, 11 assists and 6 assists.
The triple-double of blocked shots shows that the Mavericks' defense against him completely failed.
At the same time, the Suns' overall shooting percentage was as high as 55%. This was because the Suns did not use breakout tactics, which prevented the Mavericks' zone defense tactics from being used.
Zone defense is the most restrictive to players who can break through from the outside. Once the outside line stops breaking out, zone defense will be less effective.
In a positional battle, the Suns handed the ball to Wang. The Mavericks couldn't defend at all, and double-teaming was useless, and they were immediately defeated.
Judging from the system data, Lao Wang's current low-post dominance has indeed declined, but if you don't meet a super center like O'Neal, you can't see it at all. Playing other centers, even first-class centers, is just cutting vegetables and cutting melons.
, can be called an artifact.
Judging from tonight's game, not only has the quality of Lao Wang's offense at the basket not declined, but he is still full of despairing dominance against weaker opponents.
In the fast break of defensive counterattack, Lao Wang directly initiated the fast break in the backcourt, and Nash controlled the rhythm in the middle. If the fast break failed, it immediately turned into a positional battle, so whether it was a positional battle or a fast break, the game was very smooth.
.
On the Mavericks side, the German tank was locked up and swallowed 4 big shots. Under Lao Wang's defense, it only scored 13 points and its shooting percentage just reached 30%. Michael Finley was also limited by Marion's defense and his performance was limited.
It was not ideal. Once Marbury got the ball, he still made wasteful shots, so he lost smoothly and lost to the end.
After the game, the old Dynasty Cuban, who was the best in the game, shouted: "Mr. Cuban, your night of revenge turned into a farce tonight, your performance was good.
So have you thought about it? If not, I will help you make up your mind. Tonight is suitable for you to film a tragedy. After all, there is a current script."
"Old K, don't be proud!" Cuban said depressedly.
"Ha ha!"
Lao Wang laughed and said: "Mr. Cuban, you have built a garbage team that is worthless but useless. I advise you to fight for the No. 1 pick this season. Next year is the big year of the draft. LeBron James,
Carmelo Anthony, Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, if you don't perform well, they will leave you. Maybe your luck will come?
But I think the Mavericks are out of luck, because your place is full of disgusting racial discrimination, and the league has zero tolerance for racial discrimination. How can it be possible for you to get the No. 1 pick? So I advise you to just dream, after all.
There is everything in the dream.”
Cuban was so angry that he had nothing to say. Who caused the team to lose at home?
However, he was a little touched when he heard the last sentence, because since the Mavericks were founded in 1980, they have only won the No. 1 pick once in 1981 when they first joined the league.
But is it really because of racial discrimination?
"It's probably Lao K's nonsense. There are so many teams in the league, and it takes more than 20 years for one team to go through the round. It's normal that the Mavericks can't get the No. 1 pick."
But he is a very smart man, and he immediately realized that Old K was just mocking the Mavericks. Just listen to what he said and don't take it seriously. Otherwise, if he takes it seriously, if he complains to the media, maybe the Mavericks will really succeed in the future.
I can't get the No. 1 pick.
Lao Wang just said it casually, laughed at it and left, not bothering to pay attention to Mark Cuban.
How strong he thought the Mavericks were, turned out to be nothing more than a pseudo-strong team, just clowns.
The Mavericks have no defense inside and no low-post offense. Even Nowitzki pulls out for jumpers. Although the outside offense is very good, it is not efficient enough and the outside defense is not good. Such a team is far inferior to
He could even defeat the Bulls and Knicks back then, let alone this Mavericks who were strong on the outside but tough on the inside?
The Suns started their three-game winning streak. Wang Tiejun scored 70 points, 55 points, and 64 points in the three games, for a total of 189 points, which happened to average 63 points per game. When he came back, he went into a frenzy and continued to shock the league. He picked things up off the floor.
There are many people with chins and eyeballs.
However, some American media argue that he is not as good as every game. This is a typical decline. He explodes in the early stage and consumes too much. In the middle and late stages, he will definitely suffer from fatigue. Even due to excessive exertion, it is very likely to cause left ankle and left
Heyun's injury broke out again. There is no need to worry too much about his current hot state, just treat it rationally.
Mr. Murray Becks, the sports editor of the New York Times, personally wrote an article with the title: "Let the regular season play a little longer, and the old K will show his true colors."
This statement has really gained popularity in some markets, and some media outlets that published this statement have gained a lot of attention and sales.
However, due to the heavy defeat to the Suns, the Mavericks were considered by the media to be the first-tier team before the start of this season, so they were criticized by major media.
"The Mavericks, this is a typical pseudo-powerful team!" New York Times.
"Like the SuperSonics, the Mavericks are a team that cannot stand up to the wall." San Antonio Sports News.
"Wow!"
Early on the morning of the 3rd, in Cuban's office, he threw a stack of newspapers out and said dissatisfiedly to Nelson Jr. sitting opposite: "Don, how do you solve the lineup problem?"
Nelson picked up a newspaper that fell on him. It was the Phoenix Sports News. The headline on the front page was yesterday's game news. The title was "The Revenge of the Clown must be a tragedy, because the Clown is a tragedy!", he said helplessly.
He smiled bitterly.
He thought for a while and said: "Mark, there is a good opportunity now. I heard that the Sonics are interested in rebuilding and want to trade Payton. I am going to use Marbury as a bargaining chip."
"Ah owe!"
At Marbury's house, he suddenly felt so cold on his back that he sneezed.
Nelson was still very courageous, and he immediately took action and sent a trade request to the SuperSonics, one for one.
"Sorry, we only need a first-round pick, not a lone wolf."
But the Sonics' reply left him helpless. He felt that Marbury was about to die in his hands.
Marbury signed a six-year, $70.9 million contract with the Nets, and then the damn Nets immediately traded Marbury. Now Marbury still has three years and $40 million left on his contract, including this season.
He was tricked by the Nets.
When I think of the Nets, I think of the Knicks next door.
"By the way, the Knicks are not short of money and they like their stars. Why not give it a try? If it doesn't work, just exchange it for a human shield."
…
The Suns have returned to Phoenix and have just finished a back-to-back home and away game. They need to seize the time to rest because the Pistons have arrived in Phoenix and they will face the very strong Pistons at home tomorrow.
After playing the Pistons, there are two more home games, the Hawks and the Trail Blazers. The rebuilt Hawks are not strong enough, but the Trail Blazers were the championship last season, so we cannot be careless. The Pistons in the East can lose, and the Trail Blazers, who are also in the West, are
A team that won't lose if it can win.
In the afternoon, Lao Wang called Da Ben and the two had a chat.
Big Ben did well with the Clippers. He went to the Pistons last season and became even more comfortable. With his tough defense and the training of head coach Rick Carlisle, he became the leader of the Pistons. With his defense, the Pistons added
With the addition of Billups, the team was ranked 10th in the Eastern Conference last season, and has rapidly improved to second in the Eastern Conference last season.
On the 4th, the Suns and Pistons started playing.
Different leagues, this game is not very important to both teams. The Suns began to implement the original plan and hone their offensive and defensive tactics.
Amare Stoudemire also got a chance and was promoted to the starting power forward position.
In the past few years, D'Antoni has given up on his original idea of small ball tactics, which is the so-called run and gun.
His original small ball was a tactic of sacrificing half-court defensive capabilities in order to increase the speed of transition between offense and defense. He used more offensive rounds to score more points to make up for the defensive points lost.
The small ball tactical offensive and defensive system he wants to build now has two states.
First, it is an offensive and defensive system based on positional warfare, emphasizing both half-court positional warfare defense and rapid defensive counterattacks. Simply put, it is an old-fashioned defensive counterattack tactic.
Second, the color of running and gunning is stronger. When transitioning between offense and defense, the ball is served from the baseline and passed quickly.
The original run-and-gun tactic required a "Nash". Now the run-and-gun he envisioned has two attack starting points, one is Old K, and the other is Nash. After serving, Old K passes the first pass and Nash passes the second pass.
The first pass has the highest priority.
This kind of run-and-gun is also different from his previous idea of running-and-gun tactics. It sacrifices part of the speed of offense and defense transition, but increases defense.
This current tactic has very high requirements for players and emphasizes the integration of offense and energy. The current Suns cannot meet the standard, and their tactical thinking is not complete yet. Everything is still being explored. The current Suns
The team is his guinea pig.
In this game, due to the experimental tactics, there were too many mistakes. Nash alone made eight passing mistakes, and Wang also made up to five mistakes. As a result, the Suns lost the game.
Lao Wang played 30 minutes and scored 28 points, shooting 59% from the field. His scoring and efficiency were lower than the previous three games, but they were still above the league's first-class level.
He didn't take many shots. Most of his shots were mid-range and short-range hook shots. Free throws accounted for 12 of his points. The Pistons double-teamed him in advance. The main reason for his lack of efficiency was this uncritical game.
It makes him not excited enough. When he is double-teamed, he either distributes the ball or takes a shot directly, rarely attacking the basket.
The Suns lost the game, and Pharaoh's data dropped slightly compared to the previous game. This made many media get angry.
"Old K, your playing time has been further reduced and your condition has declined further. Has the injury recurred?"
"Old K, the Suns will face the Timberwolves at home in the 11th regular season game. Will you choose to face Garnett and be sure to defeat him?"
After the game, reporters swarmed up and asked all kinds of questions.
"Yes, as you wish, I'm afraid I will be on the injured list in the next game."
"Well, Garnett, is that the boy who is called the King of Huskies? Please tell him that I am coming to him and ask him to arm himself immediately. Yes, I am talking about armor, no armor.
, how can he protect himself? Do you still expect me to show mercy to you? "
Faced with all kinds of idiot reporters, Lao Wang had no choice but to deal with them casually.
"He, he actually called me Ha, Ha, King of Huskies?"
The next day, Garnett learned from the media that after K. called him that, he was so angry that his liver ached.
Now he is angry, angry, anxious and angry, and is afraid of getting into trouble with Lao K, so he is very worried and really regrets his bad mouth.
