Chapter 401 [The character of defeat, a complete full stop]

On the morning of the 12th, the Washington media broke the news that Cuban was dissatisfied with Nash's defense and angered Nash in the locker room.

When playing away games, players are generally more restrained in the locker room, because it is very likely that the partition wall has ears. Cuban doesn't care about this, he is a passionate neurosis.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Cuban acted like a good boss most of the time. In fact, Cuban only admired Nowitzki, and was only good to this person.

2004年夏天,纳什5年6500万回到了凤凰城,库班随后在个人网站上洋洋洒洒数千字批判纳什贪钱才离开, 指出他曾经给纳什提供过一份5年5100万美元的报价。

As a result, Nash fought back angrily, accusing Cuban of lying, and said that such a thing should not be brought up for public discussion, and quickly gained the support of fans.

The following season, Nash was elected the MVP of the regular season. Cuban thought that Nash was not worth 5 years and 6500 million and became a laughing stock, his face was swollen.

In the 2005 playoffs, Nash led the Suns to a 4-2 elimination of their old club, the Mavericks, in the second round of the Western Conference.In the Mavericks' home game, Cuban made a few fierce gestures at the back of Nash walking into the player tunnel. As a result, he was photographed by the camera. He became a clown-like character with his face smashed.

Nash talked about Cuban after the game and said with some disdain: "He was very lively this night, and I also know that after signing with the Suns, he said a lot of things behind his back, which is nothing to me, but My fighting spirit was aroused.”

Nash and Cuban have long been strangers. Every time he revisits Dallas, Nash will chat with Nowitzki and those fans who love him, but he has no words with Cuban.

Cuban's abandonment of Finley made the fans even more angry. He has played for the Mavericks for 9 seasons. He has long been the spiritual leader of the team and the star most supported by the fans.As he grew younger, Finley's competitive level gradually decreased, from 22.6 points per game at the peak to 2005 points per game in 15.7.That summer, the league introduced an amnesty clause to help teams control cap space.Cuban immediately became No. 1 to use this clause, cutting Finley.

This made the Dallas media and fans who were very emotional about Finley shouted Cuban ruthless again.The funny thing is, Cuban was quickly slapped in the face again, the Mavericks were hacked, and Finley won the championship with the Spurs in 2007.

In short, Cuban is a guy who is very good at defeating people. Except for the hardcore fans of the Mavericks, everyone supports the Wizards.

In the fifth game, Nowitzki started with an unbalanced mentality. As usual, he mainly shot and hit the iron frequently.

Nowitzki can't beat Jordan, Wallace, and Marshall with technology, but his shooting accuracy is good. In the series, he averaged 33 points, 10 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, which is absolutely star data.This time he started as a blacksmith, and the Wizards easily took the lead.

Nash still has problems on the defensive end. He will be deflated when he encounters a screen. When he counterattacks, Wesley can also rely on his body to eat hard.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui arranged for double guards and the audience to press, strictly guarding against Axel.

Van Exel didn't play well on the field. He made 15 of 5 shots. Today, he was eager to recover the score and began to fight in chaos. Without completely getting rid of the defense, he shot from the middle and long distances.

Tai Long Lu became a special soldier. His entanglement ability is strong, and he is constantly close to him. Although he can't cover it, he will not be easily passed by.The offensive end Tyron Lue is a soy sauce, and the defensive end helps the team.

Barkley gave Tailonglu high praise. "He's the type of player who can play against the opponent's stars. He defended Iverson in the 2001 Finals, and when the two played against each other, Iverson's shooting percentage was lower than the others. Fan It's hard for Axel to get a good shot."

Smith said with a smile: "Yang Rui praised Tyron Lu many times during the regular season, saying that he is very important, which seems to be true."

In Yang Rui's previous life, Tai Long Lu became a coach after retirement, and later became the head coach of the Cavaliers, winning the championship with the team.His body is limited, he is average as a player, he has some ball intelligence, and his defensive enthusiasm is not lost to anyone.Dellavedova, who the Cavaliers twice guarded Stephen Curry as a blacksmith, is his disciple.

Van Exel made 8 of 2 shots in a single quarter and missed all 3 three-pointers, bringing the Mavericks into the ditch and trailing by 18 points at halftime.

In the second half, Yang Rui continued to adhere to the small-ball tactics, looking for opportunities through the players' non-stop running.

Although there are many runs, the Wizards' tactics are actually not complicated. At most, they will send a big man to cover on one side, and then cut empty.The others did not rely on cover and ran directly with the defender.The Mavericks don't need zone defense, the Wizards just do it.The Mavericks used zone defense, and Nash was unlucky, and there was no discussion about attacking him.

Jordan is organized in the middle, and can always observe the movement of his teammates and pass the ball to the right position.He sent out 7 assists in a single quarter, and by the end of the third quarter had a double-double of 12 points, 3 rebounds and 11 assists.

The Wizards led by 22 points into the final quarter.

Yang Rui called the players together and said loudly: "Three people who may be competing for the MVP, I will let you play the whole quarter. I hope you can actively cooperate to ensure victory! This season, we rely on the overall team to win. , we're going to show that to the fans. Win!"

"Win!" the players shouted together.

Yang Rui sent Wesley, Hamilton, Bell, Jordan, Stoudamire, a large group of four small.In addition to Trident, the other two are [-]-point shooters responsible for pulling open draw defenses.

Old Nelson tried his best, and sent a double-back combination at the end.Entering the finals, he was completely disappointed with Adrian. He averaged 15 minutes per game. He couldn't score or defend. It was a burden.Let the "madman" play, at least he can fight and attack, and the gambling feels convulsive.

The center cameo by Nowitzki, and LaFrentz was dropped.

The arrangement of the old Nelson determines that Hamilton is the most advantageous point for the Wizards.His opponent is Van Exel, who is ten centimeters taller, and he can take advantage of his height to catch the ball when he runs.

"Crazy" became a loophole on the defensive end. Hamilton made a mid-range shot and threw it in front of people. One by one, the fans who supported the Wizards were ecstatic.

Stoudamire went to cover for Wesley, and it was easier to block Nash than "Mad".

Jordan also continued to show his power, sending out 6 assists in a single quarter, four of which were given to Hamilton and two to Stoudamire.

Barkley said excitedly: "I can't believe that Michael tied the record for the highest assists in a single game in his career."

"The Mavericks have given up, and they can't fight back," Smith said.

On March 1989, 3, Jordan hit a career-high 24 assists and led the Bulls to a 17-128 victory over the Trail Blazers. That was only the regular season, and 113 assists in the finals was undoubtedly greater.

With a big lead, his teammates were willing to help Jordan brush the data, and then he shot the ball.At the end of the quarter, Stoudemire also stuck someone to help Jordan with rebounds to make his data more beautiful. He and Hamilton did not want to compete with Jordan for MVP at all.

At this time, even the Mavericks fans did not change the channel, Jordan won the championship and retired, and everyone felt that the ending was perfect.

When the Wizards made their last attack, the Mavericks gave up their defense.The substitute Tyron Lue dribbled the ball to Jordan in the frontcourt.Jordan pressed the time from the right three-point line and threw the ball to the basket before the final whistle.

It was Jordan's only shot in the fourth quarter, which brought a happy ending to his career.

120 to 93, the Wizards won the championship 4 to 1 upset!
