Chapter 2 Four and One Good Choice
Jason Kidd did not expect that there would be such a day, and the current situation was beyond his imagination.
He originally thought that the tactics of the OK combination period would never be repeated one day, but the facts before him now made him feel extremely bitter.
"Shark" O'Neal and "Black Mamba" Kobe, the two teamed up to take away his two championships and cut off his hope of winning. When the Los Angeles Big Four defeated Detroit in 04, he thought The triangle offense that the OK combination dominated the league will never repeat the league again.
However, the reality finally slapped him hard, making his face so hot that it hurt.
On the offensive end, the Minnesota Timberwolves actually resorted to the triangle offense of the OK combination, which is unbelievable!
The triangle offense is an offensive tactic designed for singles. Whether it is Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant or "Shark" O'Neal, they are all unsolvable players in singles. They can always use the best Simple way to put the ball in the basket, simple and crude, it is so damn simple!
Now, the Dallas Mavericks have encountered such a "weird" Timberwolves team, completely overwhelmed on the offensive end.
Marc Gasol plays in the low post, and no one can limit him. Gasol Jr.'s singles at the basket are very reliable. As long as he opens up space, his scoring ability is not difficult.
Among the many inside offensive skills, for Gasol Jr., the most proficient is the singles at the basket.
He is not quite the same as his elder brother Paul Gasol. Gasol's playing style is more traditional inside, and he has solid basic skills.
This season, the Timberwolves' exchange for Marc Gasol from the Memphis Grizzlies is indeed a bright deal. No one thought that a second-round pick from Europe would play such an excellent insider.
When the Timberwolves traded away Al Jefferson, of course, their defensive ability was not good, and the reasons for frequent misses on the defensive end were among them. They also had reservations about Al Jefferson's potential.
On the contrary, Marc Gasol is still very young and has much more comprehensive skills. For the Timberwolves, it is definitely a deal to win the future.
The joining of Marc Gasol can be said to have solved the core problem of the inside for the Timberwolves in the next three to five years.
Now Marc Gasol's contract is the same as Li Shihao's. They are both in the rookie contract. The annual salary is really not worth mentioning, so don't worry at all.
If after three years, Li Shihao and Marc Gasol have maintained an excellent competitive level, and their strength has steadily entered the superstar level, the Timberwolves will definitely have the ability to provide these two with enough lucrative contracts to keep them. People, Gasol Jr. and Li Shihao are the core inside and outside of the Minnesota Timberwolves in the next few years. If the Timberwolves want to rise, re-enter the Western Conference Finals, and even win the finals, then the relationship between Li Shihao Jr. and Gasol Jr. Both are indispensable.
The Dallas Mavericks have lost their rhythm. For a team, losing its fighting spirit is a terrible thing.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
The current Dallas Mavericks have already fallen into this vicious circle. Jason Kidd has organized offensives several times, trying to dislike the counterattack trend and recover the score, but they were all strongly suppressed by the Timberwolves, and they did not give any opportunity.
If you can't do it once, you can't do it twice. When it comes to the third time, everyone will feel discouraged. Players who can enter the NBA are not necessarily strong-minded people. When encountering this kind of headwind, they can stand up. There are too few players who lead the team to victory.
How many people in the league can stand up against the wind and lead the team to fight back?
Not many, even LeBron James often hides on the court at the last moment of the game and hands the key ball to his teammates for resolution.
Dirk Nowitzki is obviously not a player who can stand up and help the team when the wind is headed. Otherwise, in the 06 Finals, the Dallas Mavericks would not have been pulled four games in a row by the fledgling Flash Wade.
Dirk Nowitzki's stable shooting and scoring ability is what he is praised for, and it is also one of his weaknesses.
Although it is also one of the top scorers in the league, the German chariot's evaluation is far inferior to league scorers such as Kobe and Wade, and even Carmelo Anthony.
You must know that Melon Anthony does not have a scoring trophy at this time. Even though he often puts on 20+ and 30+ scoring performances in the league, for many years, he has not had a single honor of shooting. People's evaluation of Melon Anthony has dropped a lot.
The fact that Dirk Nowitzki was beaten by surprise several times has completely revealed his difficulty in playing against the wind.
In the mind of Mavericks coach Carlisle, Jason Kidd is one of the players who are best at playing against the wind. He is one of the best ball masters in the league. Controlling the rhythm is what he is best at. For him, As long as he is equipped with a suitable tough player, the Mavericks will completely solve the weakness of not being good at playing against the wind.
The Dallas Mavericks have always been good at positional warfare, but now that small ball tactics are becoming more and more popular, fast breaks have become a new fashion in the league. How long can positional warfare tactics last?
Even the old Spurs have begun to gradually transform. You must know that they are a strong team at the same time as them.
Mavericks coach Carlisle understands that tonight's game will be the last performance of the Dallas people in the playoffs. After they harvested a defeat here, they will go back to fishing.
However, where is the hope of the championship?
Mavericks coach Carlisle pondered for a long time without saying a word. Although he is a typical academic coach, he is not rigid. He understands what a team needs to win.
Since the Dallas Mavericks were blacked out by the Golden State Warriors, the league coach Carlisle was appointed by the Dallas Mavericks management as the new head coach, and since then, Carlisle has begun to transform this strong Texas team.
Facts have proved that although the progress is slow, the Dallas Mavericks have really begun to rise again. This season, they climbed to the second place in the Western Conference. However, they encountered Waterloo in the first round of the playoffs and were severely beaten by the seventh Timberwolves in the Western Conference. beat.
Perhaps, they also need an excellent forward defender.
The coach of the Mavericks thought about it, and flashed a lot of experts in the league's forwards and guards, "Andre Iguodala", "Sean Battier" and so on. Suddenly, Mavericks coach Carlisle caught a glimpse of Brewer, who was resting off the court, was thoughtful.
"Maybe he would be a good choice!"
