Basketball myth

Chapter 251 Proof of the Lakers Dynasty

"Welcome everyone to watch our live broadcast, the playoff performance between the Lakers and the Mavericks! Although this game is in the mainstream media, everyone thinks that the Lakers will eventually advance, but everyone thinks that the promotion is at least 5 games After the game! As the team that defeated the Lakers in the regular season, the Mavericks won in the last game. Many people think that this game is a hard fight for the Lakers! As the star of the Lakers, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar , do you think so too?"

"This game was actually beyond everyone's expectations! The Mavericks have been very busy this summer! They are also very strong! It can be said that their main players have completely formed a collective after a season of integration. There are some veterans joining and the Mavericks themselves, including Nowitzki and Terry, have improved a lot! I believe they will have a bright future!"

……

"Beautiful future, that is to say, isn't the Lakers' opponent now? Old guy! You can say all kinds of good things! However, the Lakers are really the opponents I don't want to meet!" Old Nelson listened. Discussions about the game from the outside world, I squinted my eyes in the locker room and thought about it!

"We have to forget the game we beat the Lakers!" This is what old Nelson said to all the players at the beginning!
"What we will meet is the real Lakers! Horrible Lakers! During the regular season, they just followed the rules! In the playoffs, they are the scariest!" Looking at the players under him, they were obviously not happy. With a look of trust, Old Nelson still said these words!
These words were thought of by his coach who has studied the Lakers for a long time!To be honest, during the regular season of the Lakers, 12 people played an average game, and each of them played for about 8 minutes. In a game, the Lakers' most tactics appeared 4 times!One session at a time!
The 12 Lakers can be said to be useful to everyone!And it's very positive!Although I achieved results that no one can achieve, the real thing is that everyone got a real rest!
And what about your own Mavericks?The five main players average more than 5 minutes of playing time per game. The few players exchanged in the middle of the season are just to maintain the situation under the leadership of the main players!Even Bowen, who was least willing to use it, lasted over 35 minutes!For the sake of a spot in the Western Conference playoffs, Nelson has no way to give his main players a real rest!Otherwise, the Sonics led by Payton would have surpassed the Mavericks long ago!

The current situation of the Mavericks can be summed up in one word!The end of the crossbow!

In fact, when Old Nelson said that, he really thought about it for a long time, what exactly do he want from these players?score?Yes!Getting No.8 in such an environment is the best result for the Mavericks!Mentality?For some rookies and growing teenagers, it is even more important!
The end of the first game can teach these young players a real lesson!It can be said to be a lifelong lesson!But is it really a good idea to do so?What should I do if I am devastated?What should I do if I have no ideas?Wouldn't it be better to remind me?
I don't know, it's the first time that old Nelson really struggled!For this Mavericks team, which is both young and hardcore, and not familiar with strength, I am really entangled!
……

Sure enough, everything went according to old Nelson's idea!The Lakers began to fully suppress the Mavericks from the very beginning!Carter defended Hardaway, Hill defended Nowitzki, Mobley mentioned that the main force began to attack further, Horry opened the distance, and O'Neal himself began to fully suppress Mutombo!
This season, O'Neal's scoring average is only about 24 points per game. It can be said that Thomas has been restricted in an all-round way. No game will make O'Neal particularly happy. Either the score was pulled early, or Thomas changed a new set. lineup!
This is a way to keep O'Neill fresh. Of course, this is also Thomas' way of drinking poison to quench his thirst. As a successful example, it is impossible to succeed for the second time. The first point is to make O'Neill feel that the other party is just like this The second and most important point is that Thomas can give O'Neal a real sense of security!That is, the really important tactical focus and tactical dependence!
This game against the Mavericks is Thomas's practice of suppressing for a long time!It's really not the time for the Mavericks to catch up!What's more, the Mavericks' system is not without problems!
To be honest, in the game where the Mavericks averaged 93 points per game, many things are actually doomed, such as Nowitzki's 24 points, Finley's 22 points, Hardaway's 20 points, Mutombo's 13 points, Terry's 20 points!The other players added up to only about 20 points!Once a player fails to perform properly, the Mavericks may still perform normally, but what if the two absolute main players have problems?

This is the biggest problem!Just because of one point, the Mavericks lack variables!A variable that can add difficulty to the opposing team!Terry was not at that time yet. Nowitzki said that he was really comparable to Garnett who the Lakers faced in the first season. Garnett was floating outside. At that time, Hill could suppress Garnett. Nate's play, let alone now?

In fact, Thomas thought of it at the beginning of the season. Otherwise, how could he have taught these players a good lesson at the beginning. What about the strong grades?It took Thomas a little bit of water to make the Mavericks, a young team, come to the playoffs!

Of course, the reason for having my own teacher, Old Nelson, is also part of the reason!
In doing so, the Lakers taught the Mavericks a lesson they will never forget in Game [-]!

……

"Thomas is really a lot smarter! Everyone thinks that the potential of the Lakers has been exhausted in the regular season, the first game against the Mavericks gave everyone a real opinion! The Lakers are still so good Strong!"

"However, there is something wrong with your approach, right? Pride is bound to be defeated! When the Lakers lose a game, all the problems will appear! I hope you can turn the tide by then!"

……

"You said our team is afraid of failure? Hehe! You think too much! I'm just cutting our winning time short! The Lakers are not made up of young players! How old is O'Neal? What about Hill? More Needless to say Barkley! This season is the last year for the Lakers to maintain their best form! Next season, Barkley will definitely retire, and Curry may also! Ben can continue to serve as his backup center? Carter and Xi My problems will also arise! This is why the management of the Lakers is so tolerant to us!"

"This season we are going to win the championship! Otherwise, all problems will arise! Under this premise! Our Lakers are the toughest team, and all of us know this! In the future, we will not necessarily Where is it!" Thomas said with some emotion!
"Although I am the one who built the team, it is not certain where I will be next season? My age is there, and the relationship with West is there! It can be said that I have already done a good job in the Lakers team. It’s the best! If I stay here for a season, hehe, I have changed too much for the Lakers, and I don’t know where I will lead such a team!”

"Actually, after this season, the players all know! The time for us to part has come! These players really love me, otherwise my arrangement in the regular season is really too much!"

"You have to start thinking about your retreat! Just like the guy next to Coach Z, if there is a team that can be coached, give yourself a good chance! You can't become a giant team like the Lakers now coach!"

"Where are you asking me to go? Hehe! I haven't thought about it yet! I'm going to take a rest, I want to think about my life-long event! Haha! I will definitely invite you to drink at that time! I hope to settle down for a few more years. When many people forget my existence, I will appear again and again!"

Thomas said this to his middle-aged assistant in the office after the game!It's really his arrangement in the future!
