Chapter 400 [Home winning streak, self-chaotic]
Before the start of the fourth battle between the two sides, all the media did not say good things about Nowitzki, and made various "overrated" remarks.All white international players in the NBA have basically been hacked by the American media, which is actually an implicit racial discrimination.
Nowitzki has entered the finals, because he likes jump shots, and it is a soft egg if he can't lead the team to win.
So he also likes jumpers, and he has never led the team in the first round of the playoffs. The guy with the highest salary in the league, what does the media have to say?The answer is that the media called him a tough guy... This is contradictory, but people with dark skin are generally not sprayed.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Nowitzki was a sad guy until 2011. In the 06 finals, his 2-0 lead was reversed, and then he was defeated by Black Eight and Black Seven. He became the most shameless MVP in history. They can only play the role of the dragon and take the role of accompanying the prince to study.
It's not going well on the field, and it's the same off the field. In 2009, Dirk Nowitzki's ugly girlfriend, Taylor, broke out. The 37-year-old woman was actually a thief, and the world's rumors swept over like a snowflake.This soft egg has such a bad taste?
If Nowitzki's game after that can't be a big one, be prepared to be sprayed by fans for a summer.
It is very difficult for the Mavericks to win, because the influence of Jordan's promotional film has just begun to ferment.
On the evening of June 6, before the players came on stage, the big screen at home played Jordan's promotional video again. The fans were still moved.The Wizards' morale was high, and the fans were united.
In the first half, the two sides fought hard to attack, and the Wizards led by 5 points. Jordan did not get the star whistle for a body hair foul, but he also scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, and performed well.
In the second half, the Mavericks sent Nash, Van Exel double guard, small forward Finley, inside LaFrentz partnered with Dirk Nowitzki.
Yang Rui targeted Tailong Lu, Hamilton, Bell, Wallace and Marshall.
Even if the Wizards have been playing small-ball tactics, the Mavericks' two big men in the inside stormed the basket, and the efficiency was so high.With a small lineup, you can at least defend the perimeter pick-and-roll and guard breakouts.There is a loophole in the inside line, and the Wizards recognize it.
The mixed defense of the Wizards in this section worked. They returned to defense fast enough. After the battle, the Mavericks would fall into singles. Except Nowitzki singled Wallace with high efficiency, the others were average.
Wizards players won backcourt rebounds, the three immediately under the fast break.Don't play tactics, just singled out, Hamilton has an advantage against Nash, and Wallace's speed is also stronger than Nowitzki.
What made Old Nelson collapse the most was that although the Mavericks had a height advantage, they were not good at rushing for offensive rebounds.
Wallace's rebounding efficiency is very high, as long as he is assigned the task of rebounding, his performance is not inferior to the big man inside.
Marshall's prediction is good, and it is the level of double-digit rebounding. In the 99-00 season, he averaged 32.4 minutes per game for the Warriors and could score 10 rebounds.
The Wizards entered the final quarter with a 7-point advantage, and the physical problems of the Mavericks inside players began to appear in the second half.The old Nelson abandoned the "big bamboo pole" Bradley, and Nowitzki had to play a cameo center at a certain period of time, and hardly took a rest.
Nowitzki averaged 43.5 minutes per game in the playoffs, with a lot of physical exertion and a slower pace.
Old Nelson did not dare to let Nowitzki and LaFrentz partner on the inside again, and it was difficult to defend against counterattacks.He also did not send Najera again. The Mavericks needed to score, and Najera could be empty when he played, and the Trident would be double-teamed near the penalty area.
As a result, the old Nelson sent veteran Walter to the 4th position, adding a three-point shooting point and the Wizards fighting small ball tactics.Yang Rui let Stoudamire and Jordan partner on the inside, and played a wave of 15 to 5, widening the point difference to 15 points.
Jordan once again showed his power, his physical quality declined, and not everyone could defend against singles.Jordan singled out Walter and scored 6 points in a row, which boosted morale.
In the first few rounds of the playoffs, Walter was just a fringe of the Mavericks, and he was suddenly reused in the finals. He was not even mentally prepared.
When Nash encountered a pick-and-roll, switching to the inside line was an obvious loophole, and he couldn't stop Stoudemire from cutting.After Nowitzki defended, the Mavericks were extremely empty inside. Without Najera, no one could defend the penalty area.Stoudemire attracted Finley to fill the defense and scored the ball outside, and also assisted Bell to hit an open three-pointer.
The Wizards' home fans also played a role. Whenever the home team got the ball, the fans would shout slogans to cheer under the leadership of the staff.When the Mavericks attacked, they would shout "defense" together, opponents would shoot, and fans would boo.
The lifeless MCI Center in the first three rounds of the playoffs is now a bit like the devil's home.Playing in boos is a big psychological test for the Mavericks.
Barkley explained: "In the last few minutes of the last quarter, the Wizards started to use the same way they did against the Bulls in the second round. The players did not cover and cooperate, they moved directly to find opportunities, and tried to use up 24 seconds in each round to fight their opponents. Their physical strength. The physical advantage is obvious, and the Mavericks Trident has played for too long."
Smith agreed: "The Mavericks played two more games than the Wizards in two tiebreaks. Nowitzki and Finley both played more than 40 minutes per game, and couldn't keep up with Stoudamire and Hamilton."
The Wizards maintained their advantage to the end, winning 111 to 100, with a total score of 3 to 1.
So far, no team in NBA history has come back from a 1-3 deficit during the Finals.
ESPN's previous team of experts who predicted the outcome was slapped in the face again.They all expressed their shock, even watching Nicholas, who won the championship, did not expect the Wizards to play the Mavericks more easily than the Nets.
If it weren't for the infighting between the Nets in the Eastern Conference Finals, it would be difficult for the Wizards to advance. In the fourth game, Marshall's three-pointer into overtime saved the Wizards' life.Now the Mavericks look like they've given up on the game and have no intention of winning.
The situation of the Mavericks and Yang Rui's previous life in the 2006 finals is similar, the players are inexperienced and self-chaotic.
The situation is one-sided, and it is also related to the 232 schedule of the finals.Wizards three consecutive home, which is fatal for the Mavericks.After losing a game at home, they have no chance to adjust, which is a great test for the players' mentality.
This season, Nowitzki, Finley, and Nash are not players with big hearts. Others have performed even worse, especially LaFrentz and Adrian Griffin are suppressed on both ends of the offense and defense, unable to share the core. pressure.
After the game, Old Nelson said depressedly: "Morale is the Wizards' biggest advantage. Jordan's imminent retirement has inspired everyone. The Wizards must fight for every ball and fight harder. This is the reason for their winning streak at home."
The reporter asked: "The Mavericks still have a chance to win the championship in theory. What do you think should be adjusted next?"
"Strengthen the defense as much as possible. If we win the next game, we will have two home games and we can still compete." Old Nelson replied flatly, and he was no longer motivated.
Mavericks players are under tremendous external pressure and are villains in the eyes of fans around the world.Before they could adapt, they were forced to the edge of the cliff in confusion.Moreover, the Mavericks have fallen into a vicious circle. Every time they lose a game, the media will say that they are over, that there is no hope, and the psychological pressure on the players continues to increase.
People think that the suspense of the finals is not which team can win the championship, but who will become the finals MVP of the Wizards.
There are three people who have the hope of winning the MVP, Stoudamire, Hamilton, Jordan.The first two figures are no worse than Jordan. Of course, the fans want Jordan to win the award. He is the spiritual pillar of the team.
