Chapter 390 [Tenacious Style, Gentlemanly Manners]

On the evening of June 4, the first game between the two sides started in Dallas, with a schedule of 232, and the Mavericks played two home games first. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Completed in 2001, the 19,200-seat American Airline Center is one of the most luxurious arenas in the league. After 2000, IT tycoon Mark Cuban became the owner of the Mavericks, and the team immediately began to raise eyebrows.

With a good owner willing to spend money, the Mavericks have expanded their winning streak for three consecutive seasons, attracting a large number of loyal fans.

The Maverick's appearance ceremony is very gorgeous, creating two props for the Grand Trophy, the players appear, everyone goes to the front of the Grand Trophy, good guys, and the Golden Saint Seiya.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the 2006 Finals Mavericks did just that, and they maintained this tradition for many years, and the management never realized that these two trophies were too uncharacterful, resulting in bad feng shui on the court. After being eliminated in the playoffs in 2010, the Mavericks became low-key, removed two trophies, and won the championship in 11 years.

Maverick owner Cuban was also disgraced on the sidelines, holding a big cigar in his mouth, as if he was at COS Auerbach, as if the Mavericks had won the championship in their hands.

Cuban's arrogant appearance made Buckley of TN*T Radio a little unbearable, and gave an almost cursed evaluation. "The Mavericks have a championship appearance, but they haven't played a single game in the finals, and they all seem to be a little undermatched. Since Michael Jordan entered the NBA, nothing good has ended for anyone who looks down on him, and the Mavericks are happy too soon. ”

Smith asked, "Do you want the Wizards to win a championship?" ”

"Of course I want the Wizards to win the championship, not only because this is Michael's last season, but also because of the Wizards' style of play. Their style of work is tenacious, and the proportion of scoring in the penalty area is relatively large. The Mavericks rely mainly on shooting, and their interior is too soft. "Barkley, like Jordan, doesn't like white insiders either.

Smith laughed: "The Raptors also won the championship with three-point shooting at that time." ”

"It's different, the Raptors O'Neal Jr., Carter, Harprin and others are all tough and can be inside and out. The Mavericks couldn't make the basket except for Finley. Barkley continued with a biased commentary.

If it were China, I'm afraid many fans would have to protest, saying that he had too many "private goods".

This kind of skepticism is also common in the United States, but it is rare, and Americans like Barkley's style of commentary. He is good at complaining, he will praise whoever he likes, and he will spray directly if he hates anyone.

In Yang Rui's previous life, even if he was as strong as Kobe and James, he was sarcastically ridiculed by Barkley countless times. But he won the "Outstanding Sports Broadcast Commentator" award at the Sports Emmy Awards, which is a huge recognition of his career as a commentator.

After the players warmed up, Yang Rui called the starters and said loudly: "The Mavericks are an offensive team, the defense is very poor, today they will fight to attack and give full play to the advantages of speed and physical strength." Everyone shouted together - victory! ”

"Victory!"

The morale of the Wizards team is strong, the players don't believe in any pre-game lineup analysis, they believe in Yang Rui, and at the beginning of the second round in the East, the Wizards are not favored, they have fought all the way.

Yang Rui analyzed the weaknesses of the Mavericks in detail when arranging tactics, and only looked at the defense, the Mavericks were the worst of the playoff teams. The Mavericks' road to qualification was not easy, except for sweeping the Rockets in the first round, they played seven games with the Suns and Spurs.

Yang Rui believes that the Mavericks and the Wizards' styles are mutually reinforcing, and this series will definitely be the winner of the offense, and the final result will depend on the players' on-the-spot performance.

The Mavericks have serious problems with their roster, and Raja Bell, who was supposed to be signed on a base salary, is now on the Wizards. Bale is not an ordinary base-salary player, in Yang Rui's previous life, the old Nelson let him start many games in the playoffs, playing an average of 18 minutes per game.

The biggest weakness of the Mavericks' lineup is the No. 2 position, without Bell, the elder Nelson can only let Adrian Griffin play all the time, playing an average of 23 minutes per game in the playoffs, scoring 6.8 points and 4 rebounds, shooting 41.5% from the field and 33.3% from three-point range.

In the playoffs, the Wizards also averaged 102 points per game and had a good offensive power, and Yang Rui believes that players can take advantage of opponents' weaknesses.

What made David Stern happiest was that the two offensive teams made it to the finals, especially Jordan, which really stimulated the ratings. Before kicking off, the ratings have already broken 12, and the ratings of this year's finals will definitely surpass those of previous seasons.

The Wizards started five: Wesley, Hamilton, Margetty, Jordan, Stoudmire.

Jordan started again at the No. 4 position, and Yang Rui knew that when Nowitzki was guarded, he often faced swingman defense, not big man. Nowitzki has an advantage in his flexibility against the big man, with his footsteps and soft touch, one hit at a time, but the small man can keep the interference in front of him without losing his position.

In this way, the Wizards' defense and dismantling will be better, otherwise the Mavericks will pull out the inside line to cover, and the Wizards' big man will have to change the guard. The defensive tactics arranged by Yang Rui were man-to-man, and he gave up joint defense. In the face of Nelson's three-point team, the joint defense is sure to suffer.

Mavericks starters: Nash, Adrian, Finley, Nowitzki, Lafrentz.

Stadameyer jumped to win, tossed the ball to Jordan, and the game began.

Jordan dribbled outside the three-point line in the middle and played against Finley.

Margeti stood up on the left baseline and ran back to the line, while Stadamire on the right side gave Wesley an off-ball screen to help him get rid of Nash.

After Jordan observed the run, he chose to distribute the ball to Margeti, and there was an immediate misalignment on the field, because the person facing Margeti was Nowitzki.

Big defense small, Nowitzki kept his distance, defense breakthrough is the main, Margeti received the ball and pulled three points, only slightly disturbed.

The ball was too arcing, deflected off the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by Adrian.

Yang Rui applauded Margeti on the sidelines and allowed him to play like this, in the past two days, Margeti has practiced shooting on both sides according to Yang Rui's requirements, mainly in the middle of the shot, and it is better to shoot three points.

After watching the Mavericks' game video, Yang Rui decided to storm the Mavericks' interior throughout the series, and now Nowitzki's defensive ability is not as good as after 2010, and the misplaced defensive efficiency is low.

European players have always been criticized for their defensive skills, which has to do with the training and philosophy they received from childhood, and European players are more technical than physical, which is in stark contrast to black American players.

In the NBA, if anyone talks about gentlemanly demeanor when defending, it can only be eaten alive by life. Nowitzki played for many years before he finally understood how to survive in the playoffs, and began to use a lot of small actions to interfere with opponents, although it was not above board, but the reality is so cruel, only the strong can survive.

Now, Nowitzki is rarely close defensively, and it is easy for opponents to distance himself or start a break with the ball.

The Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki and Nash played blocking and dismantling, and Jordan switched to defend Nash, judging the breakthrough route accurately.

Nash split the ball down the middle, and it was Hamilton who switched to Nowitzki, close to the interference. Nowitzki leaned his back and turned around on the left corner and missed a jumper.

Hamilton can only use small moves against Nowitzki, and he will definitely not be able to cover it, Nowitzki is a little nervous when he enters the final for the first time, and his shooting power is a little big. Jordan grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and immediately launched a counterattack.

Hamilton accelerated straight to get rid of Nowitzki, Jordan sent a rugby-style accurate long pass with his right hand, Hamilton received the ball and looked at the back no one was following, jumped up and dunked the basketball with both hands. 2 to 0.

As long as the man-to-man defense is changed, there will be a dislocation on the field, and it is a disadvantage when defending, and there is an advantage when attacking!
