NBA: Starting with James Harden

After confirming that the Lakers would be the opponent in the Western Conference Finals, the Mavericks went to Los Angeles. This was the first time that the Mavericks played away at the beginning of the series, which was a little unusual for Li Zhen.

It is important to get a good start at home, which helps build confidence.

It's just that the Mavericks' regular season record is not as good as the Lakers, which is nothing to say.

After arriving in Los Angeles, the Mavericks started closed training.

Carlisle's tactical arrangements have become top secret.

As a tactical master, Carlisle has made various plans to play against the Lakers. All the players need to do is to familiarize themselves with the tactics and ensure that they can be executed on the court.

Facing the defending champion Lakers, the Mavericks did not have any fluke mentality, and everyone knew how powerful the Lakers were.

Facing the Western Conference champion team, the Mavericks were the weaker side, and they played G1 as a challenger.

In terms of the external media trend, the Mavericks were also on the weaker side, and no experts or fans believed that the Mavericks could easily win in Los Angeles.

Even though the Mavericks only lost one game in the first two rounds, while the Lakers lost four games.

The Lakers' strength has long been deeply rooted in the minds of every media and fan.

Kobe + Twin Towers, this is the Lakers' biggest reliance.

No matter how amazing Li Zhen is, when he meets Kobe, his awesomeness will drop a level. Did

Li Zhen score 62 points in three quarters?

Did Li Zhen score 81 points in a single game?

None.

How can the Mavericks deal with the Lakers' Twin Towers?

Can they only rely on Nowitzki?

These questions are really placed in front of Carlisle's tactical board.

The media and fans can use the keyboard to point out all kinds of things, but Carlisle can't. He needs the players to run tactics down to earth and complete the work.

If the Mavericks players' tactics are not in place, then the Mavericks will lose the game.

In the closed training, Carlisle requires everyone to run positions strictly according to the tactical arrangement. If anyone fails to do so, they will be scolded.

Including Nowitzki and Li Zhen, they were not spared.

Such high-intensity and high-pressure training did not make the Mavericks players complain. They have been in the league for many years and they know that if they want to beat the Lakers, they really need to use all their strength.

On the Lakers side,

Zen Master and the coaching team also repeatedly watched the video of the Mavericks entering the playoffs.

Nowitzki, Li Zhen, Kidd, Terry, all the tactics and players of the Mavericks are being analyzed!

The Lakers were the champions last year, and they have a lot of experience to do all kinds of preparations.

The two sides are getting more and more competitive in the intense preparations!!

As the time of the big battle is approaching.

Every corner of Los Angeles is filled with the atmosphere of the Western Conference Finals.

The fans of the Lakers experienced such a success last year. They all enjoyed the Lakers' game, and they all believed that the Lakers could finally hold the final trophy.

Famous Hollywood movie star fans also found someone to buy VIP seats.

Many of them are fans of the Lakers and want to witness the Lakers' rise to the top with their own eyes. They are used to the Lakers' success!.......

In China, fans are also seriously analyzing the trend of this series on various forums.

One of the most popular posts is"On the comparative analysis of the Lakers and Mavericks in each position".

Mavericks fans and Lakers fans are madly fighting each other below.

"At the center position, Lakers' Bynum is completely defeated by Dampier. Dampier, the second center, is a guy who eats cakes. The Little Shark is a genuine All-Star level center, who is good at both offense and defense. Without others to pass the ball to, Dampier is a waste. The Lakers have a complete victory at this position!"

"At the power forward position, although Nowitzki is known as a superstar, his style is very similar to Gasol, and he is also soft. Gasol is afraid of hard inside forwards, so he will not be at a disadvantage against Nowitzki on both offense and defense. The Mavericks have a certain advantage in this position, but the advantage is not big."

"At the small forward position, Artest versus Marion, both are defensive stalwarts, equally matched, destined to be supporting roles on the court, Artest is slightly better"

"In shooting guard, Kobe vs. Li Zhen, no matter how good Li Zhen is, he will be outclassed by Kobe. Except for passing, Kobe can do almost everything Li Zhen did when he was young, and Li Zhen has not done anything Kobe has not done. The two will be directly matched on both offense and defense, and Kobe has an advantage in this position!!"

"At the point guard position, Fisher faces Kidd. Both of them are veterans who rely on experience to make a living. Kidd's three-point shooting is more stable, and his organization and defense are better, but Fisher's desire to win cannot be ignored. The Mavericks have the advantage in this position."

"For the sixth man position, the Lakers' main player is Odom, while the Mavericks' main players are Terry and Caron Butler....Both teams have their own styles, but the Mavericks have a stronger scoring ability"...

Below the post, there is also a comparison of the data of each player in the team and an overall data analysis.

Based on the comprehensive analysis of the post, the author believes that the strength of the Mavericks is underestimated, and the gap between the Mavericks and the Lakers is not as big as imagined.

"The original poster is stupid, how could Kobe have only a slight advantage over Li Zhen? He would have completely beaten Li Zhen on both offense and defense. Li Zhen is still too young now, he is at a disadvantage against Kobe"

"You can tell at a glance that you are a stupid Kobe fan. Look at the data from the first two rounds. Kobe's data is not as good as Li Zhen's."

"Humph, another stat king? ? The Lakers will win the Western Conference Finals!!"

"Look, the Lakers are crushing the Mavericks"

"Mavericks champions!!"

On the Internet, fans of the two teams exchanged insults for a long time as the game time approached.

All the news about the Lakers and Mavericks matchup had a high click-through rate. The attention of this round of series was obviously better than that of the Eastern Conference Finals. Now not many people care about the matchup between the Celtics and the Magic!!

As time went by, the heat of the Western Conference Finals was hyped to the highest level.

May 20.

Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals was finally about to start.
