Steve, why do you think the Mavericks are off to such a bad start? ”

Sun Ce looked at Yao Ming and Marion in suits on the opposite bench, and was very puzzled.

I was going to take advantage of the fact that the opposite twin towers were not online, and beat the defending champion on the opposite side for a good time.

Now the thrashing is not happy, no matter how average Yao Ming's state is, he is a threat when he stands there, and the threat is obviously stronger than Nowitzki, who mainly shoots on the periphery, but Yao Ming doesn't play.

And even Marion doesn't play, and DeSean Stevenson and Conley can't support the Mavericks' outside defense.

And their Grizzlies are all going all out with a sense of revenge, no rotation, no contempt for the opponent, Randolph scored 21 points at the end of the first half, and now Yi Jianlian is playing back and forth with Nowitzki, who is not in good shape, and also scored a low-post back-to-back turnover jumper.

And if Yao Ming is here, even if he doesn't perform well on the offensive end, the defensive end can last at least 20 minutes, Chandler played 256 minutes of good ball, and he and Yao Ming's center position rotation to ensure interior defense is extremely important for the Mavericks who did not perform well on offense at the beginning of the season.

Their Grizzlies are definitely a strong team, Sun Ce believes that the opponent also thinks they are a strong team, and the psychological impact of the victory or defeat of the strong match is very important.

And this season has just started and is not full of wins, in this shrinking season, it will be difficult to compete for the top four in the second half of the season.

Sun Ce didn't understand what the Mavericks were just trying to do.

Originally, Nowitzki's performance at the beginning of the second season after winning the championship was extremely messy, and the three champions of Kidd, Chandler, and DeSean Stevenson were all sent away to make room, waiting for Anthony and Paul's contracts to expire in 2013, and waiting for the Heat Big Three contracts to expire in 2014, he can understand.

But Cuban renewed Chandler's contract and traded Kidd for the sign-and-trade Conley, leaving DeSean Stevenson, who averaged 2.4 three-pointers per game in the finals last season to help them sweep the Heat, with a total salary of more than $96 million.

As a result, at the beginning of the new season, regardless of the record, play the rotation rest?

"Because this season's record is not important, you can't win all the previous games, and you may end up in the playoffs, and it is not necessarily the worst one, even in the West, it is very safe to enter the playoffs with 40 wins this season,

Noah, you see, the Mavericks are 17 points behind, Nowitzki still hasn't gone down, the Mavericks' style of play is not messed up, their whole team is helping Nowitzki find the feeling of playing, and Nowitzki's style of play doesn't you think it's very similar to Yao last season?

When the Mavericks play the next game, you can continue to watch, they will most likely rest Nowitzki, who played for a long time today, and let Yao be the tactical core. Nash gave Sun Ce an analysis.

Hearing this, Sun Ce suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "You mean they are learning from the Spurs' use of Duncan and Ginobili?" Use Mike and Chandler as Parker? ”

But thinking about it, Sun Ce feels wrong: "But they don't have the tactics that the Spurs can use a group of role players to play at the level of stars, which is a system that the Spurs have spent many years building, and it is not so easy to imitate." ”

"You still don't understand what I mean."

Hearing Sun Ce's doubts, Nash was very proud, and every time he talked to Sun Ce about the NBA, Nash felt a sense of accomplishment.

He doesn't know why, Sun Ce and other players think very differently, some other players can't accept things that they don't recognize, Sun Ce is easy to accept, for example, as MVP, Sun Ce doesn't care about the feeling of data most of the time, others have more than 50 points in the third quarter, and they may go up to fight 60 points and ask for 70+, but Sun Ce doesn't care so much.

But according to Nash's observation of Sun Ce last season, this guy is sometimes very strange, sometimes he is short of one or two assists to get a triple-double, Sun Ce has to wear a mask in garbage time, and he has to get a triple-double with an ostrich mentality that doesn't know when it comes to garbage time.

The young stars of other teams, the first five or six years of the new century are fine, and the rookies in recent years, mainly outside talents, if they play, it is difficult to be willing to fight for defense, but Sun Ce can accept it, he seems to be happy to be the team's defensive connection point, and doing these young players in this era feel that it is hard work.

But many times, Sun Ce seems to not understand anything, and Sun Ce doesn't seem to have any basketball concepts that others have accepted since junior high school and high school.

Sun Ce is in basketball, and he seems to be thinking about how to win!

But this is what Nash admires most about Sun Ce, when he first met Sun Ce and Sun Ce went to him for advice, he was just moved by Sun Ce's efforts at first and was willing to let Sun Ce train with him.

But slowly, Nash found that Sun Ce trained hard, not because he was determined to make money in the NBA, but a mentality he had never seen before-

——The opportunity is in front of me, I have to fight for it and do my best so that I don't regret it.

This kind of pure heart makes Nash appreciate it very much, when Bill Duffy asked him how Sun Ce's character is, he chose to say something good to Sun Ce, but he didn't interfere too much, the NBA is a place where strength is king, Sun Ce has the ability to advance, and he is happy for it.

If he can't get in, Sun Ce will finally change jobs, and Nash will not be disappointed.

A long life, the NBA career lasted just a dozen years, and eventually everyone will return to the life of ordinary people, of course, this can only be felt by veterans like Nash, young players are difficult to understand, and they are often arrogant and extraordinary.

But Sun Ce gave Nash a different feeling.

Just like the mentality Sun Ce showed, Nash doesn't think Sun Ce will be frustrated by the failure to hit the NBA.

No, Sun Ce successfully entered the NBA and played out, but he still didn't change because he was the youngest MVP in history, he still asked questions like that, he didn't worry about losing face, he should learn, even a rookie like Klay Thompson, Sun Ce was willing to let Klay Thompson teach him how to speed up his shooting, these are still the same as when they first met two and a half years ago......

It's just that the lack of flat has not changed, but it is getting worse and worse, and Nash is worried that Sun Ce will be beaten on the court one day.

In the face of Sun Ce's problems again, Nash explained: "They just won the championship, and they were not favored to defeat all the opponents all the way to win the championship, they do not lack self-confidence, all teams are their losers in the playoffs, this year's regular season lost to a strong team and lost, it was originally a shrinking season, their core is two veterans, it is reasonable to lose, as long as they steadily win the weak team and enter the playoffs, they have a psychological advantage."

This is the defending champion!

And you find out no, their payroll is not the same as before, and as you said, they can't imitate the Spurs in tactics, they can only imitate the way they use the core, but there is one more thing that can be imitated - avoid the middle-class trap! ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he recalled the scouting report of the Mavericks that he had read yesterday morning...... And so it is!

The Mavericks don't currently have a mid-level contract! And the current roster is 14 players, more than 20 million beyond the luxury tax threshold, they don't have the full middle class, but the mini middle class is not used indiscriminately, from the scouts' predictions, the Mavericks' goal is to wait for the Suns to buy out Carter, and then use this mini middle class to take it.

And Carter is also a veteran for their Grizzlies team.

And Nash's analysis of the Mavericks' season strategy, Sun Ce agrees, he still remembers that the second round of the Spurs' playoffs in the 2013-2014 season began to be invincible, and the defending champion Heat team played the opponent with no room for struggle, but almost fell in the first round, and the Mavericks' playoff strength is really strong.

As for the first two years...... The 11-12 championship team was almost all gone, the 12-13 playoffs were not made, and the Mavericks rebuilt their role player roster to make the playoffs after losing the race for Anthony in the summer of 2013.

Nowitzki has performed very well in the playoffs, and until the last time he made the playoffs, he was 38 years old and still averaged 20+ per game.

got an answer from Nash that he Sun felt was very reasonable, seeing Nowitzki, who was obviously not in good shape on the court but was still fighting against Randolph, Sun Ce felt that the biggest enemy in the playoffs this season might still be the Mavericks!

That disrupted his plans a bit, and after he played the Spurs in the opener, he saw this year as the best time to win the championship.

Because next season, once Split plays out, it will be very difficult for the Spurs to make it important for players like the Spurs to be willing to give a meat shield center a three-year, 27 million contract.

Sun Ce wants to play against the Spurs, who are in the strongest form, and wants to play against the Spurs without worries and without championship pressure, and winning the championship this season is especially important.

Because the Spurs certainly don't have the so-called championship pressure, Parker and Ginobili both have three championships, and Duncan has four championships, and the championship is just an accumulation of honor for them, and it will not have a so-called qualitative improvement in their career evaluation.

Playing against a team like the Spurs that has an invincible future and is eager to win the championship but has no pressure to win the championship in the playoffs, Sun Ce wants to eliminate all unfavorable factors and be as prepared as possible.

But now that the Mavericks have won the championship, they are still there to get their hands on the side...... And the Mavericks are also the kind of team that craves a championship but doesn't have the pressure to do it......

Sun Ce really wanted to draw a circle and curse the opposite side......

97-80, the Grizzlies easily defeated the Mavericks to win four in a row.

Conley returned to his old club for the first time and failed to win.

Nowitzki played 39 minutes today and scored just 18 points on 7-of-20 shooting.

Compared with Nowitzki's performance, Randolph scored 41 points and 15 rebounds on 16-of-24 shooting, and Randolph, who started the best career in his career, can be said to be playing according to Nowitzki, who started the worst season in all seasons since the beginning of the new century.

Sun Ce played 14 minutes in the first half, played 9 minutes in the second half, played 23 minutes and got 14 points, 12 boards, 5 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals, and easily got 4 times 5 data, their Grizzlies scored not high in the first three quarters, only 69 points, but the Mavericks only scored 50 points after the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Sun Ce watched Randolph beat Nowitzki throughout the whole process, and the picture was bloody.

……

From the perspective of the ultimate and long career that Sun Ce has planned for himself, one season or two seasons is just a small stage.

Sun Ce, who was far away, didn't think about it, but near worries had already appeared.

Mavericks, Spurs......

If the good weak chickens and calves and the nursing home spurs are the biggest enemies in front of Sun Ce now, they are even more troublesome than the Thunder team that Sun Ce thought the day before yesterday.

The Thunder, Sun Ce knew that they would let themselves collapse, and the Mavericks and Spurs, it was foreseeable that they would be in big trouble.

Not only that, with Sun Ce's understanding of Carlisle's maintenance of Nowitzki's condition, Yao Ming also enjoyed such treatment, and the two of them worked together for two or three years......

Don't say it, near worries are close to worries, Sun Ce is still a little excited!

The worries were only temporary, and the tight schedule allowed Sun Ce to quickly get out of it, and after playing the Mavericks to win the opening four consecutive games, the new year arrived.

There was no time to celebrate the New Year, on January 1, 2012, Sun Ce took the ancestral goose on vacation, and went to Chicago with the team.

……

……

When he arrived in Chicago, he prepared for the tactical meeting in the afternoon, and had dinner in the evening, Sun Ce took his grandfather to see an opera, and after a night's rest, he came to the United Center Arena the next morning to prepare for the game, and at 4:10 in the evening, after the warm-up, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court together.

After the entrance ceremony, Sun Ce sat on the sidelines and chatted with Nash, when the system screen suddenly popped up, and there were two events!

"As one of the two major MVP candidates in the West, the host is about to face off against Derrick Rose, one of the three major MVP candidates in the East, and the S-level event: MVP journey triggered."

"MVP Journey(s): As a much-anticipated MVP candidate, the host aims to be the best player of the season.

Stage 1 Event: Flower Thief triggers. ”

"Flower Thief: S-Class Event MVP Journey Phase 1 Event.

Goal 1: In the next game against the Bulls, the host needs to complete at least two blocks against Derrick Rose.

Goal 2: In the upcoming game against the Bulls, the host will need to help the team limit Rose to under 20 points.

Goal 3: Win the victory.

Event Reward: Chicago Bulls 2011-2012 Random Player Star Experience Card.

Note: The event score at this stage will affect the final score of the S-level event MVP journey. ”

Sun Ce is continuing to ask Nash how to deal with the pick-and-roll, this is not a sentence or two can be said clearly, as the most basic but most commonly used tactical block-and-roll in basketball tactics, there are endless changes, the NBA can be said to be a block-and-roll league, and any tactics are inseparable from blocking.

Two events suddenly popped up, and after reading the first system prompt, Sun Ce seemed to say-

"My grandson doesn't want to be the best player, he just wants to be a beautiful man quietly......"

Who wants to complete an event called "Flower Thief"?

However, the Bulls' random player star experience card...... This Sun Ce is greedy, the Bulls' lineup is very good...... If you go to Korver at random, you will feel the three points again......

Sun Ce has been discussing with Klay Thompson how to speed up the three-point shooting in the past two days, and he doesn't want to change the mid-range shot, so he shoots smoothly and gets used to it.

But if the three-pointers can speed up the shot, that's certainly a good thing.

And Korver is also the kind that shoots extremely fast.

Stopping the discussion with Nash, Sun Ce came to the court to slap the ball and think about today's game.

Their Grizzlies are currently 4-0 and top of the league, while all other teams have lost, and tonight's opponent, the Bulls, is currently 2-1, beating the Lakers and losing to the Mavericks, and after beating the Lakers and losing to the Mavericks, they defeated the menacing Heat at home and broke the last team in the East that has not lost.

Now that he meets the Bulls, Sun Ce is sure that the other party will definitely want to make persistent efforts to pull down the last team that has not lost, that is, their Grizzlies!

The Bulls' idea is like Sima Zhao's heart, and the ambition of the Bulls can be seen, and they want to show their strength from the beginning, from Sloan as the head coach to all the players, they want to start this season.

Sun Ce's thoughts are the same.

Originally, Sun Ce's goal at the beginning of the season was to be in the top four, but after playing so well at the beginning, it seems that other teams except for the Spurs, who are in good form and "have to fight for the first place", their Grizzlies have a strong advantage in the West in the regular season.

Of course, you have to fight for the first place.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce felt that it was a coincidence, the MVP wanted to compete with Rose and become the strongest team, even if the current goal was the strongest team in the regular season, the idea was the same.

And in this game with the Bulls, the Grizzlies attach great importance to it, and the Heat are regarded as the best team in the East, but on the night of the 30th, the Bulls won against the Heat, and Sloan's transformation of the Bulls is slowly showing results, and it is difficult to predict how the future will be.

Sun Ce and his team are aiming for a championship this season, and the Bulls are one of the three imaginary rivals in the East, and from the opening situation, it seems that their Grizzlies are even more hostile to the Bulls.

In this game, Nash discussed with Coach Hollins, and Nash stood among his bench teammates during the appearance ceremony, and Tony Allen returned to the starting lineup to deal with Rose.

The lineup of the Bulls has not changed from the lineup of the Bulls in Sun Ce's impression, with S-level Rose and B+ level Hamilton, and the three frontcourts in the starting line are all A-level players.

There is not much difference between the lineup and the impression.

This is normal, the lineup for Thibodeau in the original time and space was almost perfect, the MVP of the third year, Rohr Deng, who is at his peak, Noah, who has gradually grown into the best defensive team level and has the ability to adapt, and Boozer, a scoring master, such a core lineup is not bad compared to any team, and there are excellent role players such as Korver, Gibson, Ronnie Brewer, Mike James, and Richard Hamilton has also been introduced this season.

This lineup allows Mike Brown to come and make it to the top four in the East, but Rose may not be groomed to the MVP level that quickly.

Such a lineup, for Sloan, is really better than Thibodeau!

The rose opened its way to bloom in a completely different way from what it was originally empty...... Sun Ce's hands are itching! Flower thief...... He thinks his nickname is not bad!
