NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1218 Boss, show mercy!

In the West, the Suns and the Mavericks are also old rivals. In the past few seasons, the Mavericks have been more aggrieved than the Lakers.

And this season, the Suns are relatively weakened, and the Mavericks think it is a chance to win the championship.

Especially when the Suns and the Lakers meet in the second round, the Mavericks think it is a godsend, so they are full of energy.

But the Mavericks thought the Lakers would win, but they didn't expect the Suns to reach the Western Conference Finals again, which made the Mavericks a little unexpected.

The head coach of the Mavericks was replaced by Rick Carlisle. After the tiebreaker, he repeatedly studied the series between the Suns and the Lakers in the past two days, and was deeply surprised by the strength shown by the Suns.

On the 16th, when the Mavericks arrived in Phoenix, Cuban, the owner, immediately found Carlisle and asked him how his tactics were going and how confident he was in reaching the finals.

"Mark, from the analysis of the Lakers' experience, they settled the battle based on the inside, but they failed, and our inside is not as good as the Lakers, so we definitely can't beat the Suns, we still have to attack from the outside." Carlisle said.

"I don't understand this, I just want to know, how sure are you?" Cuban asked, staring at Carlisle.

Carlisle fell into silence. Although he didn't say no, Cuban was still very disappointed, because this attitude meant that Carlisle was not sure at all.

Cuban was very disappointed. Like Bath, he invested a lot of money in the past few seasons, but the result was even worse. He didn't even win a Western Conference championship, let alone a championship.

Moreover, Dallas is no better than the Lakers, and his ball market does not bring as much profit as the Lakers. He has not made much money in the past few seasons.

He has already contacted Gao Yuanyuan and told him that as long as Li Ba comes to the Mavericks, he can agree to all conditions, but unfortunately the result did not satisfy him.

In fact, this is also within his expectations. Li Ba is no other star, and has more assets than him. He is no longer playing for money. It is impossible to attract him to the Mavericks under normal conditions.

On the 17th, the G1 game of the Western Conference finals started.

Before the game, the media predicted that the Mavericks would have a higher winning percentage, because the Suns played two series and injured Tracy McGrady and Hill again. The remaining veterans such as Carter, Ray Allen, and Nash have less and less physical reserves. .

The media seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not mention Li Ba's physical problems.

Before the game, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Mavericks: Chandler, Stoudemire, Nowitzki, Terry, Kidd.

Suns: Li Ba, Ah Lian, Ray Allen, Ginobili, Nash.

After getting the list, Barkley analyzed: "This season, the Mavericks' inside offense and defense are very balanced. O'Neal was traded away. Chandler came to the Mavericks and played well. He was also a member of the Suns championship that year. But said To be honest, the media is optimistic about the Mavericks now, but I don’t think so, because the inside combination of Hammer + Yi can beat the Mavericks’ inside combination.”

Kenny Smith nodded and said: "The media has indeed ignored the inside of the Mavericks. This season, Stoudemire averaged 26+8 All-Star data per game, and Chandler also averaged 10+10 double-doubles per game. Not the combination of Hammer + Yi.

To be honest, if the Mavericks meet the Grizzlies in the first round, they may not win.If you meet the Lakers, you will definitely be eliminated. "

What the two are thinking about is exactly what Mavericks coach Carlisle is worried about.

In the CCTV live broadcast seat, Zhang rationally analyzed: "Judging from the second round series between the Suns and the Lakers, the Hammers have obviously changed their style in the past few seasons. They played very violently on the offensive end, often dunking, Even riding and dunking the opponent's inside line, dunks and breakthroughs after knocking down people abound."

Xu Jicheng said: "This style of play is not something Tyson Chandler can handle. With Chandler's fragile physique, injuries are hard to avoid. This will undoubtedly affect Chandler's defensive quality."

Yu Jia went on to say: "Stoudemire has never been an inside player who is good at defense, so who should the Mavericks rely on to defend the inside? The reason why the Lakers failed was because the inside was blown up. Now it is the turn of the Mavericks."

At this time, the two sides first met at the exit.

"Boss, you played too hard in the playoffs, be merciful, don't hurt me."

From a distance, Chandler yelled when he saw Li Ba.

Li Ba laughed and said: "Tyson, you can stay away from me, your physique can't withstand my shock."

Nowitzki is also helpless, encountering a bug like Li Ba in his career is really a headache.

In this year's Western Conference Finals, his confidence is not too high.

The Mavericks lineup has not changed much, except for the addition of Chandler.

Chandler can play other teams, but playing the Suns is obviously much worse.

In fact, in his view, there is no one inside the league who can carry Li Ba.

In fact, in his opinion, among the inside players, Li Ba already stands alone.

"Brothers, come with me and beat the Mavericks!"

Before playing, Li Ba's roar sounded in front of the Suns bench.

"Fuck the calf! Fuck the calf! Fuck the calf..." The audience roared.

The team's record in the playoffs is obviously stronger than the regular season. All Suns fans are looking forward to the second dynasty defense, and they are extremely excited. unlimited.

The Mavericks players, including the coaching staff and owner Cuban, couldn't help swallowing dryly in this atmosphere.

Li Ba and Chandler jumped the ball, the latter touched the ball first, and the Mavericks attacked.

Carlisle's offensive tactic today is that the inside is responsible for rebounding and the outside is responsible for shooting.

Stoudemire and Chandler enter the basket, Nowitzki is outside the right-wing three-point line, Terry is outside the left-wing three-point line, and Kidd is at the top of the arc.

At this time, Kidd made a tactical gesture, Stoudemire came out of the paint, and Terry cut into the wing at the same time, and the two made a pick-and-roll.

Ah Lian went out with Stoudemire, and Chandler moved to the low post on the right wing, holding Li Ba under the basket and preventing him from assisting the left wing.

After dismantling, Terry blocked the follow-up UAE, and Stoudemire formed a dislocation advantage over Ginobili.

Kidd is one of the point guards with the strongest ability to observe the openings of his teammates in the history of the league. Stoudemire is now equivalent to half an opening. His ball comes immediately, and Nash's defense is useless.

Stoudemire took the ball and the opportunity came out, but he missed the first ball.

Li Ba grabbed the rebound, didn't play a fast break, handed it over to Nash, and advanced steadily.

The Suns have too many veterans. They have played two rounds of the series, especially in the sixth game against the Lakers. Physical fitness has indeed become a problem. The fast break ability, which is not very good, has further weakened. Has given up fast break tactics.

In fact, even the United Arab Emirates has some physical problems.
