Chapter 411 The King of Europe
In addition to the European golden boy Cannavaro, the Lone Ranger, center Carutel, power forward Hield, shooting guard Kakaro, and point guard Javier are all very strong.

These are the treasures that Cuban has "scooted" in the European market in recent years. In fact, Cuban planned to form a "European team" a long time ago, gathering a group of talented players from the European league to attack the NBA.

He has always believed that Europe is the biggest threat to American basketball, and Nowitzki's appointment has accelerated the speed of this plan.

It took Dallas five years to build a strong European team, and Cannavaro was the last piece of the puzzle for them to hit the championship.

Last season, Cannavaro was a fledgling. Although his performance on the field was amazing, he was still somewhat immature. His performance in some important games was not very stable, which made Dallas helpless to stop the second round of the playoffs.

This season, the Dallas people have made a comeback, Cannavaro has also successfully evolved into a reliable team core, and the Lone Ranger's championship plan has officially set sail.

The horror of this European team can be demonstrated from the jump ball stage. Carutel forced Standermeier to take the ball into the bag, and the basketball just fell into the hands of Cannavaro.

As the imaginary opponent of the Dallas Finals, this game has been highly valued by the team. Owner Cuban and general manager Nowitzki even came to the sidelines to watch the game.

Under the watchful eyes of the boss, the Lone Ranger made a good start. Cannavaro connected the team's offense with his keen passing awareness. First, he broke through and scored a three-pointer from the outside.

On the other hand, the Heat played a bit passively. The defense of European players restrained the NBA players themselves. They used team defense to divide the Heat's offense. The Heat could only rely on Wade and Barrett's singles to maintain the offense.

Mu Chenfeng didn't perform much at the beginning, but instead became the background board twice in a row in the matchup with Cannavaro, which made Mu Chenfeng very unhappy.

In three years, Cannavaro's progress is surprising.

Mu Chenfeng's biggest weakness is his lack of physical confrontation, but he happened to meet European players who are good at physical confrontation. Their style of play is very strong. Mu Chenfeng seemed to have few options when defending Cannavaro.

Cannavaro even completed a breakthrough against Mu Chenfeng in a very easy way.

"Mu Chenfeng is not Cannavaro's opponent." The teammates on the bench couldn't stand it anymore. Although Mu Chenfeng already possessed a strong strength, his disadvantages in physical confrontation with European players were too obvious.

However, Coach Scola was not in a hurry to let other players replace Mu Chenfeng. In his opinion, such an intense confrontation was necessary for Mu Chenfeng. A large part of the reason why Mu Chenfeng was able to score so many points in the previous games was because he did not encounter top-level confrontation in the league.

The easiest and most effective way to judge a player's scoring ability is to put him against the best defense in the league. If he can still perform well under such circumstances, then his scoring ability will be recognized.

The Dallas Mavericks are such a team that "tests the quality of players". They have the strongest defensive system in the league. The lineup of all-European players makes it easier for them to achieve tacit understanding and unity in cooperation than other players. This is the scary thing about the all-European lineup.

Dallas, which has excellent defensive ability, is also talented in offense. Especially since the players grew up in a European environment that pays more attention to teamwork, they can send out more than 25 assists per game.

And the core of this offensive and defensive team is Cannavaro, who is like a wise brain, maintaining the smooth operation of the Lone Ranger.

"It's so heavy." Mu Chenfeng just endured Cannavaro's light leaning, and a heavy pressure came from his chest, piercing through his whole body, and he lost his strength instantly.

After Cannavaro overwhelmed Mu Chenfeng near the free throw line, he entered his super attack range. Near the free throw line, Cannavaro had a shooting percentage of more than 6%.

Cannavaro resisted Mu Chenfeng, and then made a mid-range shot. The basketball swiped the basket and scored 2 points.

Mu Chenfeng could only look at the ball and sigh.

After scoring this goal, Cannavaro turned around and gave Mu Chenfeng a block. It took only 5 minutes to fill up his data column.

On the basis of strong physical talent, any technical action is handy to complete.

And this kind of performance can only be regarded as Cannavaro's routine operation. He once achieved a triple-double in only 18 minutes, and has also achieved 20+20 "points and assists" double 20 many times.

He is the well-deserved "King of Europe".

After the first quarter, the Lone Ranger and the Heat were tied at 25:25, and the score was evenly divided. However, there was a big difference in performance. The Lone Ranger played a total of 6 players, and all players scored. On the Heat side, Wade and Barrett scored 20 points. Standemire scored 5 points. The rest of the players scored "0", especially Mu Chenfeng. , and even got a block from Cannavaro.

The poor performance made Mu Chenfeng feel frustrated. After all, compared with his "0" points, Cannavaro's "6" points are so dazzling, one is 3 for 0 shots, and the other is 3 for 3 shots. From the perspective of shooting percentage, the two are not at the same level of players at all.

Although Cannavaro is only a second-year rookie and has only played one more season than Mu Chenfeng, the gap between the two in controlling the field is still obvious.

When a player performs well, the praises are overwhelming, but when the player performs abnormally poorly, criticism will follow. Fans don't care about the process, they only look at the results.

And what the fans saw was that Mu Chenfeng made 3 of 0 shots and was crushed in the matchup.

Mu Chenfeng made fans "forget" all his previous highlight moments in just one game, and abuse and doubts emerged on the Internet.

Mu Chenfeng's poor performance gave those black fans who opposed and questioned him an opportunity. For a while, the rumors about the relationship between Mu Chenfeng and the NBA were rampant. On the field, Mu Chenfeng was struggling. His reputation outside the field was also seriously distorted.
