"If he wants to develop in the NBA, the first thing he has to learn is to respect the opponent, but obviously, his teacher did not teach him this lesson, and it is not his turn to question any decisions made by the Dallas Mavericks. , Letting go of Steve Nash will make us regret it! Heh~~~ This is so ridiculous, I bet he doesn't even understand that Canadian, it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand the strength of the Mavericks, soon my boy We will teach him this lesson and teach him how to respect a strong opponent!"

Cuban was obviously irritated by Vujacic's words. Throughout the summer, his ears were always full of the same words.

"Why did you let Nash go!?"

Cuban is really tired of this problem, especially when the regular season of the new season starts, seeing the Phoenix Suns with Nash playing better and better, and after Nash has shown the MVP potential, Cuban has heard too much. Many accusations, and the ridicule of those enemies.

Therefore, for Cuban now, Nash is an absolute forbidden zone, and no one can touch it.

Does Cuban regret it?
No!At least now I don't regret it!
Cuban has always believed that Nash, who is 30 years old and has potential injuries, is not worth a big contract of more than [-] million per year.

Moreover, there is another point, Cuban is not an outsider, he knows basketball very well, he is an outstanding businessman, and all investments are often unprofitable, but Cuban is even more of a fan, a person who has loved basketball since he was a child. A crazy fan of basketball, for his beloved basketball and his own Mavericks, he can abandon his investment philosophy and pour his blood into it.

He likes a gorgeous offense, but at the same time, he also knows that only offense can't win a championship, and if he wants to stand on the top of the NBA, he must strengthen his defense.

Therefore, when Nash asked him for a big contract, Cuban refused. He thought Nash's defense was too sloppy.

This is why Cuban is so angry in the face of Vujacic's accusations. First, he doesn't think he is wrong. Second, he feels that a rookie dares to point fingers at him, which makes him feel insulted.

Now Cuban just wants to wait until the game starts, and let his team teach Vujacic, an arrogant brat, right!That's right, teach me a lesson!
American Airlines Center Arena!

"You seem to have really pissed him off!"

The game is about to start, but the fans are not focused on the court, but on the sidelines. Under the leadership of Cuban, countless fans booed Vujacic, and all kinds of ironic slogans filled the entire court. .

Cuban is like an instigator at the moment, constantly directing the fans to attack Vujacic.

"Hey! Brat! Didn't you say I was wrong? So, why don't you go out on the field and prove your point, why? Oh! How pathetic, you're just a backup, you're a nobody's bench!"

In normal times, Vujacic would have been furious and used his fists to teach that bastard a lesson, but now, instead of being angry, he found it very interesting.

But Hilary Duff, who was sitting behind Vujacic, was worried. She is now a woman who is in love and has a lucky head. She has put aside her work and everything, and now she only thinks about every moment. with Vujacic.

Seeing that all the fans were against Vujacic, Hilary Duff was very angry, but at the same time worried, she was worried that Vujacic would suddenly explode.

"Don't worry about them, just be yourself!"

But obviously, Hilary Duff's worry is superfluous, Vujacic didn't take it to heart at all, he was even enjoying Cuban's performance.

It is hard for Vujacic to imagine that there will be a team owner in the NBA who can get the support of almost all fans.

Generally speaking, team owners and fans are always on opposite sides. Fans will never be satisfied with how much money the owner has invested in the team, even if the team owner has spent the last dollar in his pocket, Fans will still feel that not enough has been done.

Generally speaking, the team's owner's attitude towards fans is just to attract fans to the stands, and then take out the money in the opponent's pocket, but Cuban does not just regard fans as a withdrawal to support the team In his eyes, the fans are part of the team. For example, when he first took over the Mavericks, Cuban found that the team only had 5 ticket sales staff. As a result, he personally ordered the department to expand to 20 people, and asked the sales staff According to the telephone yellow pages, door-to-door door-to-door sales of tickets, and even Cuban himself will join the ranks of telemarketing, such a crazy move will not increase much income for Cuban himself, but in the United States Aviation Center creates the best basketball atmosphere.

Other team owners and fans are using and being used, desiring and being desired, but Cuban can integrate with the fans because he is an avid basketball fan himself.

The game has begun, the fans' attacks on Vujacic have come to an end, and they have begun to refocus their attention on the court.

Before the game, the collision between the Lakers and the Mavericks was called by some commentators that the Western Conference Finals arrived early, but in fact, this statement obviously has no basis. Those guys who like to talk about cheating money just look at the two teams now record, made such an absurd conclusion.

The reality is that under the joint attack of the Mavericks' strong inside line and the outside line that did not lose to the Lakers, the Lakers will soon be defeated.

Kobe wanted to play the team's savior, but he obviously met his opponent today, Marquese Daniels, a super perimeter defender who entered the NBA directly without being drafted.

Daniels is an underestimated player. The old Nelson has a discerning eye, and he was directly promoted from the team's drinking fountain watchman to the team's main shooting guard.

Although the three-pointer in the offense is a shortcoming, Daniels' defense has allowed him to take the team's starting position justifiably.

Although Kobe's scoring data is constantly rising, it is clear that Daniels' defense against Kobe has not failed. Kobe's offensive firepower has been limited, and the previous destructive offense is completely unfeasible today. I want to send the basketball into the basket Basket, Kobe has to make more efforts, which makes his physical energy consumed faster.

The offense of the Lakers can only rely on Kobe, but there is no way to stop the indiscriminate bombing of the Mavericks in defense, especially the big blond man Nowitzki, who almost regards the Lakers' half court as his own back garden.

Comprehensive, Nowitzki gives Vujacic the feeling that it is comprehensive. His attack area can extend from the basket to the three-point line, and in any position, he can almost guarantee a stable scoring efficiency.

With a height of 213cm and a weight of 111KG, he is a very ideal big player, and Vujacic clearly remembers that in Nowitzki's career, there is almost no serious injury history.

Although Nowitzki's talent is not outstanding, compared with his idol Bird Bird, his athletic ability is not outstanding, but the height of 213cm, the super long wingspan, and the famous golden rooster independence make Nowitzki Viski became the most difficult player in the NBA to be blocked.

Of course, Vujacic still remembers that in his previous life, many Chinese football masters criticized Nowitzki as a soft guy. Perhaps in the impression of many fans, Nowitzki is not very hard to play. In fact, this is also related to his tactics. Nowitzki prefers to play pick-and-roll with the guards near the center circle and then shoot, or make some inside cuts. It is rare to see Nowitzki confronting the opposing No. 4 or No. 5. This is also a European And the characteristics of Asians, or habits, so the word softie is not suitable for Nowitzki.

Moreover, Nowitzki also has the speed that many big players do not have. Whether it is the previous Nash period, the current Terry period, or the future Kidd period, the fast break requires players to rotate faster, so People often see a 213cm big man running back and forth on the court. Among the power forwards, Nowitzki's speed and long-distance running ability are quite good. Of course, compared with those who have good physical fitness and bodyguards, he The explosive power appears to be insufficient.

Jumping ability, Europeans and Asians have never been known for jumping, so don’t make it difficult for Nowitzki. No matter how he jumps, Nowitzki still can’t jump Griffin, Swift, but Yao Ming still can’t Suspenseful, although the bounce is not good, but the height and arm length also make up for it a lot.

Also, don't be fooled by Nowitzki's body. In fact, Nowitzki's versatility in layups and back strength are very good. Although he can't make some extreme moves, he is very flexible in turning around. And the rhythm of the layup is very good. Nowitzki and Garnett are also known as the power forwards with the best physical coordination in the past ten years.

Nowitzki's defense is the biggest reason that has been criticized by fans, slack, lack of confrontation, and slow lateral movement, but his height and long arms can protect the penalty area to a certain extent.

Until the season when Vujacic was reborn, the reason why Nowitzki never made it to the All-Defensive Team, basically all stars like him made it, maybe it was the reason of the old Nelson system, the Mavericks have not yet Establish a real defensive system, so don't worry about Nowitzki's defense, after all, his offense is too sharp.

Signature North-style jumper, standard posture, beautiful arc, perfect basket.

Seeing Dirk Nowitzki playing with the Lakers in an almost provocative way on the court, Vujacic couldn't help but write the word "cow" in his heart.

When it comes to the big man with the best shooting in the league, Vujacic believes that 90.00% of the fans will think of Nowitzki. Yes, a player whose life is shooting can do this is enough.

Nowitzki's shooting is extremely soft. This inherits the characteristics of the Europeans, plus the unsolvable fadeaway jumper and emergency stop jumper. When Nowitzki is in the state, he is an unsolvable player.

In the playoffs last year, how many teams Nowitzki shot to death, such as 15 points on 48 shots, or 24 free throws, etc., have already explained everything.

Vujacic has studied Nowitzki's shooting style, which is why the Germans can always guarantee high hits. In fact, shooting is the most important skill in basketball. Less attacking at the basket, which is somewhat similar to Gasol, who is also a European player. In short, Nowitzki has almost everything he should have as a power forward except for lack of footwork at the basket.

What’s more, Nowitzki’s golf quotient is quite high, and he is a correct, reasonable, and key spokesperson. On the court, Nowitzki will always try to find the best scoring opportunities, and will use his body wisely to shoot. , standing in the most correct shooting hotspot, observing the weakness of the opponent's defense, and has a good ability to draw fouls at critical moments. He is a key player worth relying on.

If there are any shortcomings of Nowitzki besides defense, it is estimated that his leadership temperament. After Finley is getting old and Nash has left Phoenix, Nowitzki has become the star of the Mavericks. But he is obviously not ready to become a commander-in-chief. He is obviously a lot worse in leadership temperament, but it is enough to deal with the Lakers.

Swish!
Nowitzki made a mid-range shot and hit his fourth goal of the game, and he made four of four shots. The efficiency can be described as amazing. Odom, who was supposed to defend him, didn't know that he was dazzled by the Mavericks. Where is the position thrown? Although Butler, who is supplementing the defense, is in place, his blocking seems a bit futile. Nowitzki's super long arms make him feel desperate.

Seeing Nowitzki's goal, Jackson shook his hand in annoyance. Four times in a row, he was shot by the same person in almost the same position. The Lakers' defense seemed to be useless.

Insider, or insider!
From the beginning of the regular season of the new season until now, the inside problem has been bothering the Lakers. The offense is okay. After all, the Lakers have two super scorers, Kobe and Vujacic, but the defense problem cannot be ignored. Divac, Odom, or Mihm, Medvedenko, and Jackson used the existing cards in their hands to try their best, but unfortunately, the problem could not be solved.

The Lakers only persisted for 2 minutes, and the point difference began to widen continuously. The Mavericks have been insisting on making a fuss about Nowitzki, the core player, so that the Lakers have no power to fight back.

Although Kobe is very strong, he lacks helpers. When facing the powerful Dallas Mavericks, he can only choose to persevere stubbornly, bumping into them again and again, and then watching his efforts become pale little by little.

Jackson watched, although he seemed to be as stable as Mount Tai, but his heart was already a little chaotic, and he had to find a way to change everything: "Vujacic! Come here!"

Vujacic was stunned. It only took 5 minutes to start the game. According to the past practice, it is too early to play now, and Kobe seems to be very energetic. Why is he going to play now?
What's more, Jackson's name for him has changed this time. He was always "rookie" before, but this time, Jackson actually called him by his first name.

What's more, this time it wasn't the assistant coach Brian Shaw who conveyed it, but Jackson actually waved to him and signaled him to come over.

With doubts, Vujacic walked up to him and squatted in front of Jackson. He didn't expect Jackson to give him any instructions. Even if he had before, he just said: "Go to the court and score!"

OVER!

But this time, Jackson's expression conveyed a message to Vujacic—very serious!
Looking at Vujacic, Jackson hesitated before saying: "Vujacic, now the team needs your ability!"

Vujacic frowned when he heard that, he was really not used to Jackson's way of speaking: "Boss, what is your decision?"

"Now, I want you to answer my question first, do you want to win?"

Want to win?
This is simply nonsense. No player goes on the court to lose.

Nod.

"Of course, I hate losing!"

Jackson looked at the field again. Kobe hit the basket and picked the basket successfully. The lack of helpers made him have to fight alone from beginning to end.

"So good, now I need you to go to the court, but your task has to be changed, not just scoring, I need you to be Kobe's helper!"

When Vujasic heard the words, he couldn't help frowning. To become Kobe's helper?
Of course Vujacic is unwilling, even instinctively repulsed. Although the contradiction has not been exposed by the outside world, the relationship between Vujacic and Kobe has obviously dropped to a freezing point, especially when Vujacic and the Rockets are over. During the interview, after publicly criticizing the selfishness of "certain people" on the team, the relationship between the two people can basically be said to be in the same situation.

But now Jackson actually asked him to be Kobe's assistant!
are you crazy?
Seeing that Vujacic didn't speak, Jackson obviously knew what he was thinking: "I ask you to put all personal grievances aside now, and whether you plan to leave the Los Angeles Lakers now or not, you must remember that you Now you are still a player of the Lakers, you have to give everything for the team to win the game, understand? Look at the court, the Dallas people are raging crazily~~~~~~”

When Jackson spoke, Nowitzki attracted the Lakers' defense near the free throw line, and then suddenly passed the ball to Terry on the outside, and Terry hit a three-pointer.

"~~~~~~Think about what happened just now, if we lost this game, how would that lunatic Cuban in Dallas laugh at you! Do you still think that winning the game is more important than the conflict between you and Kobe? ?”

The stadium was noisy, but the Lakers' bench was eerily quiet.

"I don't care how deep the conflict between you and Kobe is, even if you fight on the court, I don't care, but now, on the court, you must be united, because our goals are the same!"
