NBA super point guard

This hole is inexplicable.

Terry, who made 4 of 2 shots in the second quarter, misfired in the third quarter.

The Spurs played another wave in the third quarter to take the game away.

In the fourth quarter, GDP rested on the bench. If it wasn't for recovering points in the last quarter, the game would have been even worse.

The Mavericks lost again 89:109.

The same is the western powerhouse, the game is played like this, coach Carlisle's expression is quite exciting.

The media who have been watching the jokes of the Mavericks finally couldn't bear it anymore, especially the Los Angeles Times, which even put on a posture of beating the dog in the water.

"Without Nowitzki, the entire team would not be able to play. Cuban clamored to beat the Lakers in the summer. From the perspective of the lineup, it is actually quite good. There are field commander Kidd and the All-Stars. Level point guards LI and Terry, inside gatekeeper Chandler, hacker Marion, we don’t know, such a luxurious lineup can only get you a losing streak!”

"No Dirk, no Mavericks!"

"Kidd? It's just the team's retirement object!"

"Jason Kidd, known as the commander on the field, a former All-Star player, in the absence of Dirk, Kidd did not play a core role in the Mavericks with a maximum salary, Cuban There is no doubt about his ability to spend money, but he didn't spend it wisely. It is recommended to replace him with a younger player, Kidd is already old!"

After seeing this report, Kidd was not angry, but expressionless. Especially on the Internet, many fans complained about Kidd, should he retire if he is not capable enough?

Since Li Muhua came to the Mavericks, Kidd has become more and more lazy, especially in terms of running, his state has declined sharply. After all, he is a 38-year-old veteran.

"Sad veteran, now it's young people's world!"

"The absence of Nowitzki has allowed us to see a different Mavericks. In recent games, the flaws in various positions have been infinitely magnified. Many people say that LI can be an All-Star this year, but looking at the data, this is just a normal team. The performance of the point guard is still far below the star level, I really don’t know why so many people vote for him, have those Chinese started to vote for him again?”

ESPN didn't let go of this wave of hot spots, but it was so hot that even Li Muhua was not spared.

Li Muhua could understand the old demon's mood at this time. Originally, this was the coach's arrangement, and the players were blamed innocently.

Although Coach Carlisle has always emphasized to the media that it was his fault, the media always have to find something to criticize, such as the high salary of the old demon, and Li Muhua, who is about to be on the All-Star stage.

Nowitzki said in an interview that his injury is not serious, but he just needs recovery time. If the team needs it, he can play at any time.

At this time, the Mavericks behaved very humanely. From top to bottom, no one agreed with the idea of ​​Nowitzki's comeback.

It's not too late to fight after recovering from the injury, there's no need to sit still just because of winning or losing a few games.

After returning to Dallas, Terry gave an interview:

"The Mavericks are a great team. Under the command of Coach Carlisle, our state is very good. Of course, during Dirk's truce, we performed poorly. As for the reason, some people say that Jason is not good. LI Not good. Of course, I’m also talking about me. You know, the team is not alone. Every adjustment made by Coach Carlisle is under the previous system. It has nothing to do with winning or losing. In order to ensure that we win the championship, for some Bad reviews, I don't care!"

The Dallas Morning News then ran the headline:
"The road to the championship has never been smooth sailing, Terry said that we will get better and better!"

As the mouthpiece of the Mavericks, the Dallas Morning News always has a sense of presence at critical moments.

January 1, Tennessee, FedEx Arena.

The Mavericks play away against the Grizzlies.

locker room.

Nowitzki was chatting with Kidd in a suit, Terry was listening to music on headphones, and Haywood looked the happiest, talking to this and that.

Chandler sprained his foot during training the day before, and it was really a leaky house and it rained overnight. The Mavericks have been suffering from injuries since the beginning of the new year.

Butler truce, Chandler truce, Nowitzki truce.

The Mavericks' lineup is now called second-rate is not an exaggeration.

Heywood was finally on the starting lineup, but Coach Carlisle almost choked Heywood to death with his first sentence:
"Brendan, you have to cover well in this game, and don't shoot until there is an open opportunity!"

"Ah! Sir, are we not going to play the low post? I'm ready, really, as long as Jason and LI can pass the ball, I can blow up that jerk Gasol!"

Heywood was eager to defend, and he couldn't choose what to say, and the players all laughed with a coax.

Li Muhua smiled directly and bent over. Heywood just has a duck mouth. Not to mention Gasol, even Randolph can easily beat Heywood.

But confidence is a good thing, Coach Carlisle shook his head helplessly.

Then, Coach Carlisle called Li Muhua out of the locker room.

"I believe you are ready!"

"Yes, sir, Coach Stotts has already told me on the plane, let me take on the main offensive task of the team!"

"That's good. We can't lose again. As for how to connect the outside line and the inside line, I can only make adjustments after Dirk comes back!"

Li Muhua looked very calm. A traded player often has little say in the first season. The coach can do what he says. Even if he performs well, he will not be considered as a team member.

core?

That doesn't exist, it's just taking on the offensive task, as to how far it can be fought, Li Muhua himself doesn't know.

The Mavericks lineup changed again.

Starting players: Li Muhua, Marion, Haywood, Kidd, Stevenson.

Taking into account both offense and defense, but there is still a big gap on the front line. Coach Carlisle made targeted arrangements to play the Grizzlies' inside twin towers and not hard anus inside.

Haywood took off first Gasol and won the jump ball.

When the Mavericks attacked, Li Muhua stepped into the second position and began to hold the ball into the half court. Sam Young defended. Li Muhua saw Sam Young's defensive loopholes and broke through directly. In terms of speed, he could get away with just one step.

Marion cut to the inside, and the Grizzlies started double-teaming inside. Li Muhua turned his wrist and passed to the outside.

Stevenson caught and shot from the outside and hit a three-pointer.

Rudy Gay assisted the defense and created an open space on the outside.

Li Muhua just broke through and opened the Grizzlies' central defense. Sam Young was out of position, Rudy Gay had to defend, and Mike Conley was entangled by Kidd and couldn't get away at all.
