Chapter 1077 Believe him

On April 12, 2015, the Lakers faced the Dallas Mavericks at home.

The Mavericks are really an immortal team with great resilience. Anyway, if you want to say that they are weak, they are basically a playoff team every year. Although they have lost the power to compete for the championship since winning the championship in 2011,

You say he is weak? The facts tell you, the Dallas Mavericks' winning percentage this season exceeds 61%. What is the concept? In the Eastern Conference, they are firmly third.

Such a team, but in the Western Conference, I'm really sorry, their ranking is very bad.

Because the West is not the East, the 61% winning rate here is really nothing.

King Nuo is getting old after all, and it will be difficult for him to continue to perform his magical performance in 2011. Of course, he should be able to maintain his 20+ scoring ability in the playoffs until next year. This is really not true.

Easy. Playing against the Mavericks, Tang Qian is relatively familiar. As long as the No. 4 position is not allowed to break out, and the whole team is connected after opening, there should be no pressure. Moreover, don’t forget, even if King Nuo breaks out, Tang Qian will be confident.

Pressure. Because this game is the last of his 7 games in the regular season. According to the effect of the demigod inheriting the effect of the god descending to earth, there are 7 regular season games, one round of playoffs, and one game in the offseason.

Time arrangement, this game against the Mavericks happens to be the seventh game of the regular season.

The Mavericks' lineup is the combination of Tyson Chandler + Richard Jefferson + Dirk Nowitzki + Rajon Rondo + Monta Ellis. The Lakers' lineup is

Tang Qian + Covington + Butler + Ariza + Jeremy Lin. Basically, except for Chris Bosh, who is about to come back, the starting lineup is now complete. As for the Mavericks, Rondo was originally here, and it should be Cuban who has the heart.

The season was a big one, but it turned out that after a few months, the effect was not satisfactory. Rondo was not playing happily, and the rest of the Mavericks were also playing awkwardly. Looking at the data, Rondo seemed to not need to take any shots and not occupy the ball.

A star with the right to play, he averages less than 10 shots per game. But the Mavericks don't need him at the No. 1 position who can dominate the ball all the time. Kidd has been reborn in the Mavericks, but it doesn't mean that Rondo, who is also the No. 1, can.

Although the data looks very similar between Rondo and Kidd, they can defend, assist, organize and attack, and rarely have bad baskets. However, Kidd has already mastered the baskets after going to the Mavericks, but Rondo is still "Rang Ermi". Furthermore

There is also a gap in their defense. How many times has Kidd been in the All-Defensive Team? Finally, and most importantly, Kidd’s No. 1 attribute is a field control type. At the peak of his career, he was not the No. 1 position like Nash Stockton.

, his assists per game may not be outstanding in history, but his field control ability... he is probably at the level of a super master.

Even a bad team like the Nets was brought to the finals twice by him. Even if it took the Eastern Conference's spotlight, that was impressive enough.

You have to know that Stockton still has teammates of Malone's level. Kidd was on the Nets at the time. Who was the number one helper beside him? It was rookie Martin. In his peak season, he could only average 16+9 per game.

Position 4. Although the defense is also good, it is not as crazy as it is boasted, because the proof is that he has not defended once in his career. And the most glorious moment of his career happened to be during the years when he partnered with Kidd. The rest of the time,

These are all disappointing season performances for his status as the No. 1 pick. The gap between him and Karl Malone is estimated to be as wide as the entire Queens Boulevard in New York. Kidd's greatness lies in his control of the team's offense and defense, including the deployment of rhythm. This ability is far better than his direct assists.

His passing ability is much better. Rondo is not his type. In some ways, Rondo is a bit similar to Steve Nash. Of course, this does not mean that he can be compared with Nash. After all, Nash is the MVP for two consecutive years.

His shooting ability is better than that of Rondo, and he also got a ring in this time and space and retired honorably. In other words, the organization method of the No. 1 position, he is similar to Nash, he needs a lot of ball control.

Otherwise, he won't be able to play at his own pace.

After all, he relies on this more than Nash. At least Nash can be used as a super shooter without controlling the ball. If Rondo doesn't control the ball, he will basically be semi-crippled. In this regard, Paul is more similar to Kidd.

The team's offensive and defensive control has become more balanced. Even without the ball in his hands, he can still control the field through command. This does not mean that there is any difference between the two aspects of No. 1 position play. For example,

It is said that "Magic" Johnson back then was also the former, and he still achieved the strongest position at the No. 1 position.

The Mavericks don't need Rondo's type.

Nash actually performed well in the Mavericks back then. The team's ceiling could not be raised, and his own strength was suppressed.

It can be said to be a "lose-lose situation".

So the Mavericks are now gradually falling into chaos. The original intention of wanting Rondo, the star at the No. 1 position, has not been achieved at all. Rondo's inability to shoot and a large amount of possession of the ball have also caused great damage to the Mavericks' system. Therefore,

This combination and joining obviously did not play the role of 1+12. A very simple set of data. Before Rondo came, the Mavericks averaged 113.3 points in 28 games, second only to the Lakers and Warriors. During that time, they averaged 113.3 points per game.

His style of play is to quickly move the ball + a lot of screens + breakthrough points, but due to defense, the Mavericks need a strong perimeter defender. Rondo seems to be a very suitable person. His defense and his iron-bloodedness are all outstanding.

It's what Dallas needs right now. But how has the Mavericks' defense changed since Rondo came? The defense has improved, but compared with the sharp decline on the offensive end, it's better not to have this improvement on the defensive end.

104.1 points. After Rondo came, his average points per game plummeted by 9.2 points! This is an average of 9.2 points per game! It means that it suddenly changed from a top-level offense to a mid-to-lower offense! The net offensive and defensive efficiency can well reflect the difference after this combination of offense and defense!

After Rondo came, the net offensive and defensive efficiency dropped by +4 compared to before! The most important thing is the decline in record, and the team's turnover rate climbed to nearly 15%!

Therefore, now Rondo has become a very embarrassing person in the Mavericks. Don't play. Isn't it a waste to spend so much money to acquire a star? Let him play. The data proves that it is not a little harm but a great harm to the Mavericks.

. Head coach Rick Carlisle has also complained to Mavericks owner Cuban countless times about this.

Rondo also disliked this place more and more.

But in this game, the Mavericks broke out. It was similar to the original time and space. The three-point shooting rate of nearly 50% was not fake.

The Lakers also had Jeremy Lin just come back, so they were still a little uncomfortable in the official game and needed to adjust. Therefore, the Lakers played very poorly in the first quarter. The team made a total of 10 turnovers, of which Jeremy Lin accounted for 5 of them.

.He was a little confused by Rondo's high-pressure defense.

After all, he has been selected to the All-Defensive Team four times in his career. Jeremy Lin, who has just come back from high-pressure defense and is still looking for the rhythm of the game, has a miraculous effect all of a sudden. In addition, the Mavericks are extremely accurate from the outside in this game, 35-19, in the first quarter

Leading the Los Angeles Lakers by 16 points. This made Jeremy Lin very frustrated. He was quite afraid that he would mess up in his first comeback. After all, he was not a star player, and the fans' tolerance for him was limited.

But D'Antoni and Tang Qian both stood up to encourage him. The former told him to continue to find the rhythm. As long as he can find it, it doesn't matter if he loses a game. The latter is easier, just don't worry, I will deal with them if it doesn't work.

These words were domineering. Although Jeremy Lin sounded like he was comforting, he still felt much better inside because he could get the support of his boss and head coach at the same time. He was almost criticized by Rondo's "trash talk" just now.

Be dizzy.

However, Jeremy Lin's state was suppressed throughout the first half. Rondo's dual physical and mental attacks made Jeremy Lin, who had not found the game state, play very poorly. In the first half, he made a total of 9 mistakes.

times, and there are not many points, rebounds and assists that can be achieved. Rondo said before he left the field in the first half: If you look like this, I will give you a milestone tonight. The most personal mistakes in history

How about milestones? Orientals?

Kidd had a "severe" 4-double in one game that year! It was on November 17, 2000, when the Suns faced the Knicks at home. Kidd scored 18 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and 14 turnovers alone.

The "unconventional quadruple-double" result. Now, Jeremy Lin has played 9 times after halftime. It is really not impossible to achieve this milestone of being the leader in turnovers in a single game.

Rondo has a vicious mouth. Many NBA players have said that Jeremy Lin, who was still looking for form, was a little unbalanced when he was criticized like this. In the second half, Jeremy Lin made another mistake, which made the Mavericks even directly hit a

2+1 defensive counterattack, the score difference was widened to 19 points. In the "garbage time" of 20 points, there was only a 1 point difference left.

This made the on-site commentator a little dissatisfied: "Jeremy really didn't play well enough when he came back tonight. He made too many mistakes, which disrupted the Lakers' game rhythm. If this happened

If we lose a game, Jeremy will bear the responsibility."

"Yes, although he has played very well this season, hitting a career high this season, and his statistics of 18+2+8 have reached the quasi-All-Star level, but speaking of facts, he still played a little worse tonight.

I hope he can regain his game condition and rhythm as soon as possible, otherwise D'Antoni's 7 seconds or less will probably be difficult to recover. It will also be a big threat to the upcoming playoffs."

"You can't do it! Oriental! You are too weak! You are not suitable for playing basketball!!!" Rondo shouted loudly to Jeremy Lin. It seemed that he really learned a lot from Garnett. This kind of crazy

"Trash talking" attacks can sometimes be really fatal. Especially when the opponent's game state is not good, it makes things worse, making the mentality more volatile.

D'Antoni called a timeout, and players from both sides temporarily left the field.

"Jeremy, you are not in good condition tonight, why don't you come down and take a rest first." D'Antoni actually has no choice, because Jeremy Lin is the only point guard on the team who can run his "7 seconds or less system".

He has also been waiting for Jeremy Lin to come back from injury, but tonight, it is obvious that the former cannot achieve his goal. If this continues, Jeremy Lin will probably be beaten by Rondo tonight, which will very likely help his recovery later.

It will take longer.

D'Antoni is now secretly annoyed, why did he choose this game to bring Jeremy Lin back? He should have chosen a slightly weaker No. 1 opponent. Alas, it was a mistake. I was too anxious and didn't think carefully.

Jeremy Lin's expression darkened obviously when he heard this, but he had nothing to say. This data and this mistake were not what a starting point guard should do. D'Antoni asked him to go down and rest. There was nothing wrong with it, nor was it.

Targeting him. But all fools know that if this continues, it will be difficult for him to have time to play again tonight.

He played like this in his first comeback game, which really made him hate himself.

But at this moment, someone stood up and said: "Mr. D'Antoni, I don't think there is any need to let Lin take a rest. He can overcome this situation and predicament." What? Don't talk about D'Antoni, almost including Jeremy Lin.

All the players were stunned because they didn't know why the Lakers' No. 29 said that. Jeremy Lin was very grateful. He thought it was Tang Qian who was taking care of his face and smoothing things over for him, so he quickly shook his head and said: "Hot, yours

I appreciate the kindness, but my state tonight is really a bit..." He did not finish, because the Lakers 29 lowered their heads and looked at him, saying: "Don't accept it with your heart, I want you to go on the field and show it with practical actions.

I trust you."

"But I..."

"There's nothing wrong with it. I said I believe you, and I said you can do it, and you can do it." Tang Qian's voice was extremely magnetic, as if he was really the overlord of the Lakers, leaving no room for doubt: "It's okay if you can't. No.

That’s okay. Why, don’t you believe in yourself?”

"No, it's just..."

"No, that's enough, go out and do it, knock that big mouth off." Tang Qian didn't even give Jeremy Lin any room to refuse: "It's up to you to knock him over." This strong confidence and domineering way of making decisions stunned Jeremy Lin.

After a while, he looked at D'Antoni and saw that the latter had no objection. This fully reflected the absolute status of Lakers No. 29 in the entire team.

Tell the truth.

Just like that, the timeout ended and players from both sides were ready to take the field. Naturally, Tang Qian took the lead on the Lakers side.

Jeremy Lin just walked up in confusion. At this time, someone said beside him: "Jeremy, if you have faith, he will not let you down."

"Yes, Jeremy, believe me, Feng has helped me like this before." Nick Young thought of last season's finals, when he shot LeBron James consecutively with the help of Tang Qian,

That scene made him feel that his whole body was sublimated all of a sudden, as if his self-confidence had increased a lot. "Nick is right, Feng also helped me like this." Thackeray said, he had to be given up by the Lakers before.

After being laid off, it was Tang Qian who asked him to stay and guard the inside with him. During that time, he successfully extended his NBA career. "Jeremy, just play the game, and help me improve the assist data."

Passed Chris Paul, so I believe in him, and you should believe in him too." Jordan Farmar said this.

Even Yi Jianlian, who is usually not very talkative, walked up to Jeremy Lin and said, "Lin, he is really strong. Trust him. He has helped a lot of people on our team. I believe you are no exception."

"As long as you believe him. He's not a big talker."

In an instant, when he got here, Jeremy Lin felt that Lakers No. 29 had done so much for the entire Lakers players. No wonder he was able to achieve this level in his first year as the boss of this team.

This is no accident.

He has become the "Big Don" recognized by most people in this team.

Jeremy Lin took a deep breath and said: "I understand, thank you everyone, I will work hard."

"I will believe him too."

D'Antoni was watching, and he suddenly felt that the young center No. 29 of the Lakers was growing too fast. This not only refers to skills, but also other aspects, such as personality charm and leadership ability.

, such as the ability to be the core of the team... and when he came to the Lakers, this person was obviously still very immature.

This little guy from the East may really explode in the future.

If I can coach a historical star, then I won't lose anything in this life.

It is a wonderful thing to witness the growth of a superstar with your own eyes.

that is……
