Chapter 438 Never underestimate the heart of a championship
Therefore, the Mavericks team has gathered Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, Haywood, and even three-point shooter Peja. This group of people, like Nowitzki and Jason Terry, have the heart to win a championship.
Veterans, it seems they are destined to be together.
The same characteristics of these people are believed by the media that this will be their last chance to win the championship in their careers. Perhaps this is the reason why they can fight to the last breath every time they face the Thunder.
This is also the reason why this group of young people in the Thunder are confused. They are obviously a group of old guys, why are they stronger than these young guards in the fourth quarter.
Durant didn't understand why every time the Mavericks felt like they were going to fall, they always launched a desperate counterattack at the critical moment.
Durant doesn’t understand it now, and it’s probably hard for him to understand it in the future.
Sometimes strength is very important, but sometimes there is no strength but no obsession with winning. When encountering difficulties, it is destined to become a mess.
…
"Guys, we must not underestimate this Mavericks. They are not soft persimmons. Did you see the look in their eyes? That is the desire for a championship. Never underestimate the heart of a championship!"
"They want the championship more than we do, and they can even sacrifice everything for it, so we definitely can't take it lightly."
"Although they are fearless, it cannot change the gap in physical fitness and athletic ability. This is our advantage. But if they become complacent when they are leading, I think everyone has seen the fate of the Thunder!"
While changing clothes in the locker room, Lian Dao once again emphasized the issue of not underestimating the enemy's carelessness.
In addition to daily training these days, Lian Dao has repeatedly watched several games of the Mavericks in the playoffs. Every time he watches it, Lian Dao feels that the Mavericks are not as simple as they appear on the surface.
The strength of these old monsters on paper is indeed not as good as the current Knicks. But their tenacious will is far better than that of the young Knicks. The Mavericks played too tenaciously in the playoffs.
The Knicks are called the invincible team by the Heat, but the Mavericks are more like the invincible team than the Knicks.
In the Mavericks, there is a courage to not give up even if their careers are over. Many of them may have a chance to win the championship for the last time, so they can risk everything for this.
This kind of courage to risk everything made even Lian Dao feel frightened.
"Don't worry, boss. You have been stressing every day these days. We can memorize it long ago. Don't worry, we are not the Thunder. The Mavericks will not have a chance to come back against the wind!"
Gallinari changed his jersey with a smile on his face. I don't know if this guy listened to Lian Dao's words.
The reason Lian Dao is worried is because there are too few veterans in the Knicks, with only Rasheed Wallace being the only veteran. As for Stoudemire, when he was young, this guy was also a guy who "invested against the wind and against the wind."
Even now, this problem still occurs sometimes.
The only truly mature players on the team are Lian Dao, Tony Allen, Holiday, Rasheed Wallace, Danny Green and Millsap.
Therefore, sometimes, Lian Dao is worried that they will easily get into trouble when things go well, and the Mavericks are the team that has the best experience in making comebacks against headwinds.
"Just remember it, everyone. If I say it any more, it will make me look verbose!" Lian Dao shook his head. In his two lives, he has seen a lot of big scenes. Even when facing the Heat's three giants, he didn't feel uneasy.
a feeling of.
But even though the Knicks still have a big advantage against the Mavericks, Lian Dao still feels uneasy.
…
Madison Square Garden, Knicks pre-game press conference!
"I still say the same thing. If a team can reach the playoffs and the finals, there can be no weaklings. Good luck can guarantee victory in one or two games, but it will never let a team appear in the finals.
The stage.”
"They have never been favored from the beginning, but along the way, even the defending champion has fallen at their feet. They are a team that is extremely hungry for the championship. The Thunder's failure has become a lesson for us.
, we will not underestimate them!”
Lian Dao didn't bombard their opponents at the press conference before the game. Even though everyone was clearly at odds with each other, bombarding their opponents at the press conference would make some fans and reporters feel uninhibited and annoying.
It is very particular about when and what to say. Obviously, with Lian Dao's emotional intelligence, he will not make some stupid mistakes like Jason Terry.
Facing the Mavericks star Nowitzki, Lian Dao also showed enough respect.
"He is still one of the best superstars at the fourth position in the Western Conference, as evidenced by the fact that he led the Mavericks all the way to the Finals."
"Look at the strong teams in the Western Conference they encountered along the way. Which team did not have All-Star players inside? But in the end they were all eliminated. Among these teams with excellent inside skills, only the Mavericks won the Western Conference championship!
"
Nowitzki said at the press conference: "The Knicks are an excellent team, but we will not have too much pressure. We have experienced too many disfavors along the way, but we have come through it together.
.”
"As long as we are together, as long as we can still fight, nothing can knock us down!"

There was no arrogance in the pre-match interviews between the leading players on both sides, but instead they seemed to be complimenting each other.
But sometimes it doesn't mean that you don't be arrogant before the game, so there won't be any smell of gunpowder on the court.
…
The finals are finally about to begin!
The guest commentators for this game are still Kenny Smith and his old partner Charles Barkley on TNT's side.
At the same time, CCTV also sent its own commentary team.
The commentators arranged by CCTV at the Madison Square Garden Arena are Zhang Lili and Yu Jia, two old partners.
But what is different from the past is that they also invited a special commentator: Yao Ming!
"Xiaodao, come on, we Chinese will leave the task of winning the championship with our core to you in the NBA." As soon as Lian Dao came on the stage, he heard Yao Ming's familiar voice.
At this time, Yao Ming was particularly envious of Lian Dao, who was standing in the finals.
At the end of this season, Yao Ming's contract will expire, but Yao Ming has not agreed to a contract extension with the Rockets.
In fact, as his youth continues to grow, Yao Ming knows that his window to win the championship is also shrinking.
Looking at Lian Dao on the court, Yao Ming had the idea of joining forces, especially when Yao Ming heard that he and Yi Jianlian were full of praise for cooperating with Lian Dao in the international arena. This made Yao Ming's
This idea is even more intense.
If he were to be substituted into the current Knicks, Yao Ming is confident that if he is at the fifth position, he will be able to defend him alone. Chandler is dizzy and cannot find North.
The Knicks have unlimited space for him to play in isolation. With Lian Dao and Stoudemire and a large number of outside shooters, no one dares to let go of Lian Dao and Stoudemire to double-team him. In the Knicks, he will get something he never had in the Rockets.
There is room for attack.
Lian Dao also waved to Yao Ming and made the "OK" gesture.
"Come on, I'm waiting for you to win the championship and get the ring to propose to me!" The junior sister came to the scene again today, and she did not go to the box on the second floor, but came to the front row of the stadium.
"This is what you said, wait for me!" Lian Dao looked at the little senior sister happily and couldn't help but kiss the little senior sister's forehead.
Although the two were together, Lian Dao always felt that he owed his junior sister a grand proposal ceremony. Proposing with a championship ring, I am afraid there is nothing more romantic than this.
Lian Dao greeted his relatives and friends on the sidelines and the game was about to start.
"The game is about to begin. On one side are the New York Knicks, who are young, talented, and full of infinite possibilities; on the other side are the Dallas Mavericks, who are old and strong and eager for a championship. But in the end, are they young and limitless, or old and strong?
We’ll see what happens in the finals!”
"The starting lineup for the Mavericks is the same as in the conference finals, point guard Jason Kidd, shooting guard DeShawn Stevenson, small forward Shawn Marion, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, center Tyson
Chandler."
"The Mavericks' starting lineup is very stable. They have been tested in previous playoffs."
Indeed, I originally thought that the Mavericks, who lacked Caron Butler, would not be able to go very far. Unexpectedly, Carlisle once again came up with a new starting lineup.
