The preseason is about to begin, and the Mavericks' seven opponents have been announced.
However, the Mavericks, a strange team, did not think about studying strategies on how to defeat these teams. Instead, they gathered together in the tactics room to watch short videos?
Pooh!
Although someone has a friend who likes this very much, it is just fine to send information privately, but it is shameless to have many people watch the exercise together!
Terry Stotts, the team's first assistant coach, turned on the TV screen and started playing a short video.
Su Bei held the notebook in his hand, opened his eyes wide, and began to observe carefully.
There was also a wretched-looking Marion with black-rimmed glasses, no smile on his face, and the scene came to him instantly.
On the screen, the figure of team owner Cuban appeared, biting his lower lip, shaking his head constantly, and his face was very ugly.
Apparently he was dissatisfied with the posture of the players on the bed...no, on the field.
Once, twice.
No, three times, four times...
If more lenses were given to Cuban, the number of recorded head shakes would be at least seven times a night.
If I had to use a lyric to describe Cuban's bad mood at this moment, I hope it would be: "It's my fault, I failed to mature myself, there are so many wounds..."
No longer afraid of pain!
What kind of fun?
Do you really need him to develop invincible magic skills so that he can use his mental skills to not be afraid of the Spurs?
The video played is Game 6 of the first round of the 2010/11 NBA playoffs.
The Mavericks were defeated at the beginning of the first quarter, and the rhythm was up, "I fight, I fight, I hide, I fight again..."
The so-called ddm tactic was turned into a tmd (tomato) tactic by the Spurs. Anyway, the flowers are so red.
It's like two masters of Huashan sword fighting. Whoever strikes first loses half a move.
The Mavericks made the first move and wanted to cut the Spurs into a mess with a sharp knife. However, the Spurs performed extremely well in Tai Chi. They saw every move and dealt with it with ease.
There is a rumor circulating around the league that the Spurs are very old.
Then the speed and physical fitness will definitely not be able to keep up. The "first move" strategy chosen by the Mavericks, charging up, running and bombing, does not seem outrageous.
Li Liyuan was the most famous team. The Spurs couldn't match the speed they promised, but when they rushed up, they were not afraid of the crazy Mavericks. They promised defense, but they played happily offensively.
After watching the first half, head coach Rick Carlisle came on stage to preside over the overall situation and analyze.
"The Spurs obviously can increase the speed to play fast breaks, but they choose to slow down to play position.
He obviously has top-notch offensive firepower, but he also likes to use bayonets on defense!
When we thought that speeding up would take advantage of us, and we did not pursue success rate, regardless of defense, but also wanted to increase the rhythm and play at the rhythm of attack, the Spurs just used defensive counterattack, and our defense, which was not very good in the first place, was like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
Like a ruthless attack.
When we added Barea, Terry, Kidd, Butler and Nowitzki, and wanted to use a small lineup of four small players to rush offensively, the Spurs were not afraid of the rhythm of the offense.
Duncan came to the high post to screen, allowing Parker and Ginobili to break through and hit the basket, turning our defense into a sieve."
"This Spurs team is cunning, insidious, and unethical!"
"We in the Mavericks hate this Spurs team, we hate Tony Parker, we don't like Ginobili, and we also have feelings for Duncan and Moder..."
"However, I have to envy, envy and hate them.
I envy and hate them for having the supercar Parker, the demon sword Ginobili, the stone Buddha Duncan, and the tactical qualities of a champion..."
In the audience, the players were in an uproar, talking and whispering to each other. Listening to what you say is better than listening to what you say.
"Envy, envy, hate GDP, they keep playing together as a team?"
"Or do you envy, envy, and hate GDP because they have higher data and wages?"
"A team that has been working together for eight years, and a team that has been working together for one year, is it normal to lose?"
"In a battle with the head coach, wouldn't he lose with a bruise on his nose and a swollen face?"
"Are you envious of other people's teams? Do you want to take the blame?
Don’t even think about whether there is shit on you first?”
"..."
From the player's perspective, Carlisle is still too young to play against Povich.
I don't see Carlisle's vision of leading the team to win against the Spurs.
One is a thousand-year-old fox. What kind of gossip are you, Carlisle, still doing in front of Popovich?
If the Mavericks don't lose against the Spurs, who will lose?
Su Bei had a premonition of something. After all, he had been through it and knew what would happen in the future.
Carlisle is on the verge of being fired as coach of the Mavericks.
The commentator during the game also questioned Carlisle's on-the-spot scheduling ability.
In other words, in addition to the Mavericks' players being crushed, the head coach's coaching ability was also severely suppressed.
Judging from the way Cuban shook his head frequently in the video, it was obvious that he had little hope in Carlisle's ability to coach in the playoffs.
In other words, except for Phil Jackson, he is not optimistic about anyone facing Bo Povich.
But he also knew that he had no choice but to believe unconditionally, unless he wanted to touch Nowitzki.
On the stage, Carlisle continued to speak and expressed his idea of winning the game.
"So, to outdo and beat this Spurs team.
From now on, we will imitate and learn the tactics of this team..."
There is a saying that if you can't beat them, imitate them, if you can't beat them, copy your homework, or even if you can't beat them, join them. These are the most effective shortcuts to defeat your opponents.
In the final analysis, one has always been imitated and never surpassed. To achieve this level is much more difficult than simply copying homework and becoming stronger.
From this moment on, before the new season started, the Mavericks set a small goal: they could not compete for the championship, but the Spurs had to be involved.
"Future Carlisle is known as a true master tactician!
It seems that academic coaches still have something. They know that only by standing on the shoulders of giants can they stand higher and see further.
NBA tactics have always been about me and you, and learning and executing them is also a talent.
Only when you win can you be called a master..."
Well, Tyronn Lue’s kind of guy who fucks James doesn’t count!
Then again, Carlisle still has the temperament of a master tactician.
The game footage from last season lasted less than half a year.
In the video, in addition to the boss Cuban shaking his head, Carlisle looks like Jim Carrey and is also very attractive.
It was summer and Carlisle still had hair.
Half a year later, Carlisle has now straightened his hair, and the forehead area in front of him has become bald.
Sure enough, if you are bald, you will become stronger!
In the next few days, the Mavericks' tactics were still focused on me, and they still didn't focus on studying their preseason opponents.
The Mavericks’ opponent has been determined to be the Spurs!
According to the Spurs' defensive tactics and rhythm control, we continued to practice.
There are also strategies for copying homework. If you copy them all and use them, that is impossible. If you encounter the real version, isn’t that asking for death?
Therefore, the Mavericks only copied the Spurs' defensive work, which is exactly what coach Rick Carlisle is doing.
He was known for his iron-blooded defense when he debuted, but his control of rhythm was not as strong as that of the Spurs coached by Bo Povich, so he could be borrowed from that.
Of course, in addition to defensive homework, offensively, after he was fired by the Pacers, while working as a commentator on ESPN radio, he also specially participated in the coaching training camp organized by D'Antoni and specifically learned the "7-second run and gun"
"tactics.
He is good at and likes to use one large and four small lineups. In addition to being Nelson's legacy to the Mavericks, it is also the homework that Carlisle asked D'Antoni face to face and copied.
After all, the 2007/08 season, the year Carlisle took a break, happened to be the time when the Warriors gangsters achieved the miracle of defeating the Mavericks. As long as an enterprising head coach wants to return to the NBA to coach the team,
They will all study the running and gunning method of one large and four small ones.
"Defend with Popovich, attack with D'Antoni.
Both offense and defense represent the ultimate in the league.
Then move the space in the triangle offense, the clearance play in the Princeton system, and the whirlwind DDM tactics of the NCAA's University of Memphis team..."
Carlisle borrowed a little from the east and a little from the west. Unknowingly, he had determined the tactics he wanted to play in the new season.
Speaking of which, before he came, the Mavericks' offensive firepower was in the top three levels of the league. He really didn't have to worry about offensive issues. The problem was defense. How to achieve a balance between offense and defense?
How can we be able to switch between offense and defense as freely as the Spurs?
The Spurs' framework is a balance achieved under the premise of GDP combination.
The Mavericks have to achieve a balance of offense and defense based on the framework of Nowitzki and Kidd, the two core players!
The conditions are completely different. If the young version of Kidd is okay, the older version of Kidd will have a higher challenge.
For Carlisle, the only advantage is to have a capable boss. Although this boss will question his ability, it is inhumane to give him what he really wants.
According to folklore, there is a saying in the league: In the three years of Texas, the Rockets were strong, the Mavericks were weak, and the Spurs were weak!
There is one thing to say, except that only the Rockets are very strong which is false, the other two statements are both true.
The Spurs are indeed very old. The GDP combination has been around for a long time and makes you feel old.
The Mavericks are really weak, but they can't stand up to their boss Cuban, who has the cash flow ability.
Since Cuban became the owner of the Mavericks in 2000, Dirk Nowitzki has been surrounded by three groups of key players.
There is no need to use the draft to build the team again. In the past 10 years, after three replacements and three reconstructions, no matter how weak the Mavericks are, they can quickly replace them and become strong in a certain year.
A team without the ability to make money can only wait for time to build a team. If you make the wrong choice, you will not know how to become stronger until the end of the year. Naturally, there will be a "very weak" stage.
In the 08-09 season, they won Jason Kidd, in the 2009-10 season, they traded Marion, Butler and Stevenson, and in the 10/11 season, they signed Su Bei and Chandler.
The Mavericks owner's cash flow came into play, and he had the execution players to implement the plays he envisioned in Carlisle's mind.
The rest is to create the ideal team according to the blueprint in your mind.
…
October 5, Staples Center Arena.
The first stop of the Mavericks' preseason game was against the Clippers, a team that has been known as a bad team for thousands of years.
The Clippers have a good five, DeAndre Jordan, Griffin, Gordon with a round face, Baron Davis with a beard, and Eric Bresso.
Five players from the Mavericks, Chandler, Nowitzki, Butler, Su Bei, Kidd.
"The Clippers have a small lineup with one big and four small, and they seem to want to copy the Warriors' work and use their offense to kill the Mavericks.
After the No. 1 pick Griffin was retired last season, his first game back is worth looking forward to.
Of course, the old captain Davis leads four rookies, and the Clippers also have the idea of training."
“Following their major overhaul last season, the Mavericks signed Su Bei and Chandler this season.
They even got the two of them into the lineup, and even Marion was put on the bench. You must be trying to cause an incident, right?"
"The two teams represent two extremes, one is the extreme of saving money, and the other is the extreme of spending money.
I don’t know what kind of scenes they can produce in their games?
Seriously speaking, both teams are newly rebuilt teams.
Of course, they represent two different team building modes..."
The game has begun.
Beep——!
Chandler defeated Jordan, who was in excellent physical condition, and won the ball for the Mavericks in the first attack.
"Kidd caught the ball and made a move.
Huh--!
He actually quickly sent a long pass. Nowitzki caught the ball, flicked his hands, and sent the basketball to the middle. Su Bei followed, leaning on the 2010 first-round draft pick Bresso, and took three slow steps for a layup...
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Bang Dang——!
Su Bei dunked with both hands under the basket, his whole body hanging from the southeast corner.
Less than 3 seconds into the game, Su Bei shot, opening the scoring account for the Mavericks.
In this round, Kidd’s miraculous pass was credited, Nowitzki’s role in coordinating and organizing the overall situation was also credited, and finally, what was the Clippers’ defense like?
With 183, Blessor, who has a bad defensive record, defending against Su Bei, a 2-meter-tall swingman, is simply giving away points.
This ball from Su Bei was picked up for free.
2 to 0!
"Dirk, great pass.
The defensive disadvantage of 183 is just a passing question. Can you pass the ball to me later?"
When returning to defense, Su Bei high-fived Nowitzki and made a modest request.
"Well, don't worry, I will pass the ball to you to find a sense of offense if I have the chance.
When the opponent's offense rushes over, first press the Clippers' defense..."
The Clippers were very fast, and they rushed to the frontcourt with a round face. They couldn't get past Butler and immediately distributed the ball to the old captain Davis.
At this time, there were cheers and applause like a tsunami.
"Whoosh!"
"Griffin! Griffin!
Give Griffin the damn basketball!
"
"After waiting for a year, the fans at the venue are already thirsty.
Davis did not go against the eagerness of the fans at the scene and did not waste his time.
Choose to pass the ball to Griffin who is stuck in a good position.
The No. 1 pick in 2009 will face No. 1 King No. 1 for the first time. How will he perform?"
"What!
He breaks through with the ball while facing the basket, like a defender, heading towards the penalty area.
Nowitzki fought and retreated, covering the basket. Griffin seemed not to notice. He leaned on Nowitzki's body, rushed to the paint area, and took off with the ball in his arms, as if his legs were attached.
The bullet generally lifted into the air.
Is this the body a white person should have?
It was like a white monster out of the cage, holding Nowitzki in the air with his left hand, and smashing the basketball hard with his right hand..."
Bang-dang——!
Nowitzki's defensive end became a backdrop and was dunked by Griffin.
From the moment Griffin entered the league, he was a nightmare for all insiders.
2 to 2!
Look at the weight and width of the hanging basket.
Su Bei felt that God only favored Griffin!
Well, that’s not right, at least in terms of looks, Griffin can’t take a beating!
Nowitzki is the only one favored by God.
Although, he is a bit soft and can be easily pushed down!
