This is an extremely bold plan, with Kobe assisting and Fan Xi attacking hard.
The Lakers have never had a design like this.
Kobe frowned and looked at Fan Xi who was serious. He was sure that the little guy was not kidding him.
However, this is really a fantasy.
If Kobe's offensive power with the ball is 99 points, today's Fanshie is at most around 78 points. There is a huge difference between the two.
Moreover, the Mavericks' shooting guards are far less powerful than their point guards. Jason Terry, Jason Kidd, and Jose Barea, the three point guards in Dallas have very different styles and each have their own merits.
In comparison, their shooting guards are relatively weak. They don't even have a serious shooting guard. Sean Marion and Peja Stojakovic are both small forwards. Although Stevenson is
He is a shooting guard, but he is below the elite players in terms of reputation and strength.
Kobe felt that Fan Xi's idea was too bizarre. He said to Fan Xi: "Don't be surprised for the sake of surprise."
Kobe politely rejected Fan Xi's proposal.
This does not exist in Kobe Bryant's basketball philosophy. He may be able to let go during the regular season, but in the playoffs, he will always believe in himself.
Fanshi did not convince Kobe Bryant, nor did he pester him.
He is not a chatterer.
…
The plane landed in Dallas, and the Lakers team bus drove from the airport expressway to the city center.
On the highway, Fan Xi looked at the large billboards outside the window. The atmosphere of the playoffs was very strong in this city. You could see large billboards of Dallas players and official promotions of the Mavericks everywhere.
When he was approaching the city center, Fan Xi saw a sentence on a huge golden billboard: Only dreams that will be laughed at if you speak them have the value of being realized. The Mavericks want to win!
This slogan shocked Fan Xi's heart.
Under the slogan, there is also a text introduction that the Mavericks were swept before and were defeated by the Miami Heat 0:2 in the finals.
The so-called knowledge of shame is close to courage.
The city of Dallas and their team have truly hit the wall this year.
For them, this is a battle with no retreat.
Their team spirit Nowitzki has gradually aged, and the temperamental boss Mike Cuban has formed the strongest team for him under certain conditions.
Fan Xi's eyes retracted from outside the car and back into the car.
He saw Lamar Odom still there bobbing his head and listening to hip-hop music, Andrew Bynum leaning against the window taking a selfie of his new haircut, and Pau Gasol chatting with his kid in Spanish... The whole team was there.
It exudes a lazy atmosphere.
The media gives the Lakers too much praise.
These praises made everyone think that the three-peat dynasty was within reach.
Fan Xi was worried.
…
"Why don't you come to Dallas?"
Dirk Nowitzki met Fanci who was warming up at the American Airlines Center. He and Fanci had a good personal relationship. Whenever Fanci was in trouble off the court, he would receive text messages of encouragement from Nowitzki.
German tank has a delicate heart.
"Here, you can concentrate on playing. You won't be disturbed by the paparazzi, and our boss appreciates you very much. He is a real sweetheart."
"The most important thing is, come here and you can become a leader. Do you want to play in the shadow of Kobe Bryant for the rest of your life?"
Nowitzki always conveys this thought to Fan Xi, which translated into Chinese is: How can a man stay depressed and depressed for a long time?
Fan Xi responded with a smile. He said to Nowitzki: "My old man, your divorce plan is too low-level."
At this time, Mark Cuban came from behind. He is an IT elite. He achieved financial freedom at a very young age, so he now puts a lot of energy into his beloved basketball career.
He may not be the richest owner in the NBA, but he must be the owner most deeply involved in basketball operations...except for Michael Jordan. Of course, Michael Jordan's in-depth operations are a disaster.
"This is not a divorce plan, Jack. Come to Dallas, you can get everything you want. Leadership position, maximum salary, all the help you need. Believe me, becoming the leader of a team is better than becoming a champion.
The team's second-in-command has more commercial value. The Lakers will always be Kobe's team, and the Mavericks will be your team..."
Mark Cuban is a charismatic speaker, and he always has a way to speak in a cadence. If this was a recruiting party, he would definitely be able to get the most people to join him.
However, Fan Xi obviously did not want to discuss this topic.
He laughed and told Mark Cuban: "I don't want to be a member of the Mavericks until I beat them."
Mark Cuban laughed and said Fanci was a smart guy.
"I like dealing with smart players."
Cuban patted Fanshie on the shoulder and finally said: "You will definitely join Dallas."
…
May 2, 2011, evening.
The lights of the American Airlines Center are bright, and the fans in the entire arena are wearing aqua blue T-shirts. The passion in the arena is surging, and the Wild Texas Cowboys cheer for the home team with their thick voices.
The Lakers' starting lineup tonight is Fanci, Kobe, Dunleavy, Odom, and Gasol.
Phil Jackson was very dissatisfied with Bynum's behavior of carrying two female models to practice squats in a nightclub.
Moreover, Bynum's performance in the last series was also very poor.
This is the reason why he didn't get a starting spot.
Bynum was out of luck, and he didn't even show any regret or anger at being canceled from the starting lineup. He was more concerned about whether his green afro was disordered and whether the arc on the top of his head was messy.
The Mavericks' starting lineup is: Jason Kidd, DeShawn Stevenson, Shawn Marion, Dirk Nowitzki, Tyson Chandler.
Beep!
The whistle sounded, and the battle between two traditional Western teams began.
Snapped!
Tyson Chandler easily defeated Pau Gasol and handed the basketball to Kidd.
Kidd received the basketball and pushed forward steadily. When he reached the three-point line, Fan Xi was about to defend.
Only to find that Kidd passed the basketball directly to Nowitzki, who faced Pau Gasol at the free throw line.
This is a European civil war.
Kidd led Fanci to run throughout the half.
His running route was very cunning, taking Fan Xi away from the core of the battlefield.
Whoosh!
Nowitzki quickly scored the first goal for the Mavericks with his iconic golden rooster.
Nowitzki's jump shot is recognized as the most unblockable shot in the league. In fact, the only thing that can defend him is his own state.
Nowitzki is one of the few offensive nuclear weapons in the NBA.
Although his technical skills are not as good as those of Kobe Bryant, and he is not as gorgeous as Kobe Bryant, he is still hard to guard against with this shot.
Looking back, Kobe Bryant opened the singles.
Fanci is roaming on the weak side, just like he did in the last series.
However, the NBA's tactical changes are timely and specific.
First of all, every team will frantically study the opponent's play style. If you can't change your tactics in time and adapt to local conditions, and just copy the cat and the tiger, you will be easily restricted.
Secondly, the Mavericks' lineup is completely different from that of the Trail Blazers.
The same style of play will naturally not be effective.
Jason Kidd is not as eager to beat Fanci as Andre Miller was.
He didn't even duel with Fanci, and his holding time with the ball wasn't like that of a point guard. He passed the basketball after halftime and then ran quickly.
Nowitzki and Tyson Chandler made a combo.
Nowitzki made a slight click and faked a move to trick Lamar Odom's defense into jumping. Then he broke into the penalty area and assisted Chandler to complete a dunk.
The lineup of Odom and Gasol cannot handle Nowitzki and Tyson Chandler.
Back to the offensive end.
Kobe Bryant continued to fall into singles. He turned around and went deep into the penalty area to attract a double attack and then passed to Fancy. Fancy quickly moved to Dunleavy outside the three-point line.
But as soon as Dunleavy took off, Shawn Marion soared into the air like a monster... and slapped Dunleavy's basketball out of bounds.
Marion is a terrible defender, and his defensive influence is everywhere. When he was with the Phoenix Suns, he was the strongest defender on the wing.
After serving again, Kobe Bryant forced a jump shot and missed.
The Lakers entered a scoring drought.
The Mavericks are getting better and better.
Phil Jackson paced the sidelines and made three defensive changes in the first quarter.
However, the results were minimal.
19:27.
In the first quarter, the Lakers fell behind by 8 points.
In the second quarter, Kobe Bryant's touch recovered, his singles lethality increased, and he formed some pick-and-roll effects with Gasol. Coupled with Fisher and Dunleavy's support from beyond the three-point line, the Lakers stabilized the situation.
.
Trailing by 7 points at 43:50 at halftime.
Fanci didn't play for the entire second quarter because Phil Jackson wanted to try out last season's lineup.
The effect is pretty good and the balance of power can be maintained.
Therefore, after the start of the second half, the Lakers continued this style of play.
However, the new Mavericks point guard Jose Barea, who was not a martial artist, went up and grabbed Fisher and beat him up, scoring 11 points in 4 minutes.
Help the Mavericks expand the score to 12 points.
Beep!
Phil Jackson quickly requested a timeout and then replaced Fanshie on the court.
After Fanci came on, Jose Barea was under control and the Mavericks quickly replaced Jason Terry.
Jason Terry won the Sixth Man of the Year and was nicknamed the Jet. He is a famous microwave player in the NBA: he can score points when he comes on the court and does not need to adapt.
However, under Fanci's defense, he failed to hit two forced shots, which gave the Lakers a chance to breathe.
Kobe took advantage of the opportunity and hit two shots.
Then, Fanci assisted Bynum to complete a layup.
The Lakers stabilized the situation.
At this time, Nowitzki went berserk.
Nowitzki bravely entered the penalty area with his lonesome courage. The whole world said that he was a softie and that his style of play was soft.
But, tonight, he was in Texas, the wildest place in America, Dallas, the wildest place in Texas, and he went berserk.
He entered the penalty area first, and in the middle of Bynum and Gasol's attack, he forced the basketball to hit.
Then, he pushed past Gasol and completed a dunk.
Then, he took the basketball away from Bynum's green explosive head.
Driven by Nowitzki, the game tilted toward Dallas.
The Mavericks players were inspired, they were a bunch of 'losers'.
Tyson Chandler has played basketball for 11 years without a championship.
Shawn Marion is longer and has no championship.
Peja Stojakovic has been playing for 15 years and has no championship.
Jason Terry and Nowitzki rose and fell together, were ridiculed together, and there was no championship.
This is even more true for Jason Kidd, who even joined the industry in 1994 and even witnessed Jordan's glory.
Now, with empty hands, they burst out with extraordinary fighting power.
In the fourth quarter, they not only suppressed the Lakers' counterattack, but also continued to expand the score.
Under their tenacious fighting state, the Lakers lost without any suspense.
Although Fan Xi launched a suicide attack in the fourth quarter and forced his way into the penalty area many times.
Although Kobe Bryant was still fighting bravely until the second before he came off the court.
But... besides them, who else from the Lakers will stand up?
Odom was out of breath after three quarters, and he even had more rest time than Fanci.
Little Shark Bynum paid attention to his hair style throughout the night. He subconsciously protected his hair with his hands when rebounds were taken away from his head many times.
There are other players as well, and they all seem to exude a kind of leisurely and contented attitude.
When Fanci lowered his head and returned to the locker room, he actually heard Lamar Odom say there: "Hey, brothers, don't be too sad. We have always turned defeats into wins. Besides, this is their home court. If we lose,
One game is no big deal...the advantage is still in our pocket."
Lamar Odom's original intention is to let everyone let go of their psychological baggage.
However, Fan Xi was really angry.
He said to Odom: "Lamar, if we lose one game today and one the day after tomorrow, we are 0:2 behind. We only need to lose three more games before we go home to fish."
Odom was a little stunned.
He didn't expect that the little brother he was carrying would talk to him like this. He stared at Fan Xi, hoping Fan Xi would give him an explanation.
Fan Xi shook his head and did not continue to speak.
At this time, Kobe continued: "Lamar, go to practice with me later, and Andrew Bynum, I don't care what you think. We must win the next game. Also, tonight is ours
shame."
Kobe Bryant said very forcefully.
…
Half an hour later.
Fanci appeared on the court, with Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom beside him.
They started practicing more.
About 10 minutes later, Andrew Bynum also ran over unwillingly.
Obviously, the little shark still didn't realize anything was wrong.
He felt that the game had nothing to do with him.
He feels that the most favored person among the Lakers now is little Jack.
He is just a center who has fallen out of favor.
Seeing him like this, Fan Xi's eyebrows grew tighter and tighter.
He decided to have a good chat with Little Shark Bynum.
But at this time, Kobe lost his temper first and hit the basketball on Bynum's back.
