Chapter 289 How can you use a failure to meet King Nuo?
In the original established history, Nowitzki is one of the top twenty superstars in NBA history, probably at the 17th or 18th place. NBA always likes to talk about the top four forwards, including Kevin Garnett.
Tied with Tim Duncan, but in fact, Nowitzki's historical status is higher than Kevin Garnett.
Of course, with the emergence of Fanci, Nowitzki's current historical status will decline somewhat. Because last season would have been Nowitzki's personal performance. If Fanci hadn't defeated the Mavericks, the Mavericks would have
The Bulls will definitely take down the Big Three in the playoffs. But now, Nowitzki's new opportunity has arrived.
Nowitzki's personal strength is far stronger than everyone thinks. Many fans who don't watch football always criticize Nowitzki for not being tough enough, being soft, and having weak attack ability.
But in fact, Nowitzki is a powerful attacker at a historical level, and his offensive ability far exceeds that of Kevin Garnett. He is a big shooter at a historical level, with S-level shooting ability from the frame and the ability to back to the basket.
He is also extremely powerful, and even his post-up ability has been developed to the extreme in the middle and late stages of his career. He can score 1.1 points per round. In comparison, the NBA's future number one center is called Emby, who is proud of his post-up.
Germany can only score 1 point per round in post-ups. Moreover, Nowitzki's era was much worse than Embiid's defensive environment. Embiid faced the small ball era.
A trivia fact is that Nowitzki was the most efficient player in post-ups last season, higher than both Kobe and Duncan.
Moreover, many people criticize Nowitzki's defense is not good enough. In the early days of his career, Nowitzki's defense was indeed not very good due to his thin body. But in the later period, as the strength of his lower limbs increased, Nowitzki was able to play in the paint area.
He is already a good one-on-one defensive player. He can withstand the backs of most inside players. His defensive ability is above average at least for the power forward position.
The most important thing is that Nowitzki is actually a superstar who is far more powerful in the playoffs than in the regular season. He has higher scores, higher efficiency, and higher rebounds in the playoffs, and all statistics are better than those in the regular season.
powerful.
Many people will only focus on Nowitzki's experience of being hacked in the playoffs.
However, which superstar has not performed abnormally? The second player in NBA history also scored eight points in the finals.
In fact, if the referee's whistles in 2006 were a little fairer and Wade didn't get so many body hair whistles, would the Heat win the championship?
Nowitzki has been with the Mavericks for so many years, and he has almost no strong helpers around him. Compared with Duncan who had Ginobili and Tony Parker around him, Garnett had Paul Pierce and Ray Allen around him when he won the championship, and Kobe had around him when he won the championship.
There are Gasol, Bynum and others. There are only two or three star players around Nowitzki who can be called upon.
At the beginning of the century, Stephen Nash partnered with him, but at that time, Nash was far from mature enough to look like the MVP of the later Suns era.
Then there is Michael Finley. If you don't mention it, everyone may not know this figure. When he played next to Nowitzki, he didn't have much star flavor.
After that, only Josh Howard, an NBA player known for his ugliness, was selected as an All-Star for the Mavericks. He was not strong enough to be called an All-Star, but he just followed the footsteps of King Notre Dame and got All-Star qualifications.
Up to now, Nowitzki's All-Star player is Jason Kidd. At this time, Jason Kidd has long since lost his peak strength and is just an ordinary and qualified starting point guard.
It can be said that after Nowitzki was traded, he truly welcomed a strong teammate and a superstar teammate.
After Nowitzki learned that he was traded, he immediately wrote a long article of more than 10,000 words on social networks. He has a deep and inseparable friendship with Dallas. In the article, he recalled his experience of joining Dallas.
Calling himself a Dallas kid forever, he was the first person in NBA history to say goodbye: I will definitely return to Dallas to retire.
Underneath this 10,000-word long article that revealed sincere feelings, thousands of Dallas fans poured in and left emotional messages: Thank you, Dirk, you can go.
There was no fighting, no attacking each other, just strong and sincere feelings flowing between each other.
Los Angeles is certainly the closest to the championship for Nowitzki.
Although he has now fallen from his peak state, he is still on the tail end of his peak, and there are no major injuries in his career. He can maintain this state for at least two or three years, and better still, three or four years.
OK.
Fan Xi can't wait to fight alongside Nowitzki. Nowitzki's arrival has completely solved the problem of the Clippers' lack of offensive firepower. Nowitzki will undoubtedly become the Clippers' main attack point.
It will make Fanshie more calm, and he can also release Butler and Leonard, making their offense easier, more efficient, and faster.
Although Dunleavy's departure leaves the Clippers with one less shooter, Griffin's departure reduces the Clippers' energy to attack the basket.
But, it doesn't matter, Fan Xi can do both of these things.
Fanci has the ability to shoot three-pointers without the ball. Although Hamilton is old, he can occasionally show his talents, not to mention Stephen Nash. Nash is a super three-point shooter.
He and Nowitzki have a tacit understanding of each other like the original couple. Although they are both old now, Nowitzki is still the charm of Boss Xu. Although Nash is a little yellow, his value is still there, and the Clippers don't need him like him.
Running all over the place like in Phoenix.
"Fuck it. This is a robbery. How could Dallas send Dirk to Los Angeles?"
When Popovich learned the news before the game started, he cursed.
Although from a transaction perspective, Dirk Nowitzki for Griffin plus shooter Dunleavy, as well as Rasheed Wallace and cash, can be equal.
But...why would Mark Cuban do this?
Doesn't this clearly add to the trouble for the leading teams in the Western Conference?
With Duke and the German tank, the Clippers' strength has jumped from a quasi-super strong team to a truly super strong team. They had obvious shortcomings that they could focus on before, but now...what else should they focus on?
Fanci, Nowitzki, DeAndre Jordan, Kwame Brown, two rookie forwards with outstanding defense and strong play, Hamilton, Nash, Carter, Billups, four experienced guards who are no longer in their prime, plus
At center, there is also former Big Mac Yao who can occasionally play a few minutes.
"You are going for the championship."
Tim Duncan specifically pulled Fanshie before the game started and said, "How did you convince Mark Cuban to give Nowitzki to you?"
Fan Xi smiled and said to the serious Duncan, "Maybe it's because he's handsome."
Duncan meditated habitually, and then he touched his chin. He felt that his appearance seemed to be quite good.
Because the trade had been announced, Griffin, Dunleavy and others all left the Clippers locker room. They had to hurry up and report to Dallas. Rasheed Wallace did not go there. He changed into a suit and sat on the Clippers bench.
Behind the seats.
He is the addition to this deal. He will only need to go to Dallas to report in a symbolic way, and then he will be bought out.
The buyout price won't be high because not much of his contract is guaranteed.
Neither money nor championships are too attractive to him. He even asked Fanxi if he could be invited to the team as an assistant coach.
Fanshi said that this needs to be discussed with the new president Kupchak.
Fanci said that he would not interfere in any internal affairs of the team, and he hoped that everyone would forget his other identity.
However, before Griffin left, he yelled at Fan Xi: "This is revenge! This is naked revenge, Jack! You are so cruel."
Griffin was very angry.
Extremely irritable.
He was very, very, very unhappy with the deal.
Fan Xi felt there was no problem: "Wouldn't it be better to go to Dallas? There is a very good team there. If you go there, you can be a leader and have unlimited firepower. Isn't this what you want most? You also have Jason Kidd by your side.
With such a passer, you can take off freely. You can also lead the team into the playoffs."
"What else are you dissatisfied with?" Fan Xi glared at Griffin, who was also very angry. "Do you only think about women, women, women?"
Fan Xi's angry shouts silenced Griffin, who was stunned on the spot.
"Go to Dallas and get along well with Lamar. You all should clearly understand one thing. Only when you are strong can you let beautiful women live next to you. Instead of giving up your strength in order to pursue women."
Fan Xi hoped that Griffin would understand. He patted Griffin on the shoulder and told him that the Mavericks were a vast sky with a lot of potential.
Griffin left silently.
His emotions are complicated.
On the one hand, he is still worried about going to Dallas and being teammates with Odom. On the other hand, he is very excited about the prospects in Dallas.
He knows that from a basketball perspective, this is the best deal. He gets everything he wants. Shot rights, space, leadership position, good teammates, he can seamlessly receive Novis as soon as he enters.
Based on all the basketball assets, as an offensive power forward, he is so privileged. Moreover, Dallas has good market prospects. Although not as good as Los Angeles, the people here love basketball very much, and he has also made good business development.
.
"Thank you, Jack. I won't get along with Lamar, but it's a really nice place to be."
About an hour and a half later, Griffin sent Fan Xi a text message, thanking Fan Xi.
His agent chatted with him enthusiastically, but he never thought that the Clippers would be so kind and send him to such a good place.
Griffin's thoughts finally came back from women. Although he would have to deal with his love rival Odom day and night,...other aspects were in line with his imagination.
"Thank you, Jack, for sending that bastard to Dallas. I've decided to fully compete with him and I'm confident in myself, both off the court and on the court."
Lamar Odom also texted Fanci.
Frankly speaking, this was somewhat beyond Fan Xi's expectations.
Fanxi didn't expect that this deal would actually bring incentives to Odom. Before this, Fanxi had been very worried about Odom's condition. Odom was declining quickly. Fanxi thought that if he continued like this, he would
He quickly disappeared from the NBA. But in fact, with his physical fitness and age, he should be able to get another contract in the NBA.
Lamar Odom's financial situation is not very good, which is probably one of the reasons why Khloe broke up with him.
Most black players will quickly declare bankruptcy after retiring. Years of high debt consumption will cause them to quickly become destitute after they retire and cannot receive high salaries.
Fan Xi does not intend to be a saint, and he does not have the ability or energy to help everyone.
But if someone can become better because of one of his decisions, he will be very happy.
This is probably why he laughed when chatting with Duncan.
Popovich looked very angry, and he was full of irritable emotions about this deal. In his original expectation, the Spurs could take advantage of Duncan's final peak to complete one or two violent attacks on the championship.
But now that Nowitzki has joined the Clippers, his resistance is much greater.
Therefore, he brought this suppressed emotion to the game and asked his players to beat the Clippers to death.
Beep!
The whistle sounded.
Game start.
Staples Arena was full of spectators, and the Clippers' attendance rate has always been very good. After raising the ticket price three times, the supply still exceeds demand. This shows one thing. In the past, the Clippers' poor box office was not due to a poor market. Angel's
The size and market of the city have always been here, but there is no Clippers market.
The starting players sent by the Clippers are: DeAndre Jordan, Kwame Brown, Leonard, Hamilton, and Fanci.
The Spurs' starting lineup is: Tony Parker, Richard Jefferson, Stephen Jackson, DeJuan Blair, Tim Duncan.
Snapped!
Jordan beat Duncan with a jump ball, and the basketball came to Fan Xi.
As soon as Fan Xi held the ball, there was a roar like a mountain and a tsunami: mvp! mvp! mvp!
The Duke seems to be the new patron saint of Staples Arena.
Although Kobe Bryant's influence is still there, Fanshie has faint signs of being a basketball icon in the City of Angels.
This is Fanci's first game since taking up this position.
How can you lose?
Moreover, how could we welcome the arrival of German tanks with a defeat?
