Chapter 317

It is impossible to let a player with such good statistics play as a substitute without a little courage.

Carlisle is probably the most lacking in courage. Of course, from Jason Terry's point of view, Carlisle must have made some promises in terms of playing time, otherwise, Terry would definitely not agree. .

So, Terry agreed to play off the bench?

That's right, that's it. This guy Terry not only agreed, but also behaved very obediently, he is simply a good baby.

Somewhat strange.

Of course, Lao Hu is probably the only one who thinks this way, and the other party didn't say anything.

But Lao Hu knows that Terry played 82 games last season, 80 of which were starts.Such a person suddenly became a substitute. Is there really no problem with this matter?

Forget it, anyway, no one has said anything now, and Lao Hu is not the head coach. He doesn't care about this stuff in the first place. Playing well is better than anything else.

After losing to the Cavaliers at home, the Mavericks have only the last game left in 07. On December 12, they will face the Atlanta Hawks at home.

The Eagles are well-known underdogs. However, this year's Eagles have a new change. They selected the third pick, Al Horford.This is a player that the Eagles dream of. As a center, Al Horford is not as good as Greg Oden, but he is also a reliable center.

Of course, the Oden mentioned here is a healthy Oden. After entering the NBA, Oden has only a handful of healthy days. From this point of view, the Eagles' choice is better.

The key issue is that the appearance of Al Horford allowed the Eagles to solve the problem of no one inside.Atlanta already had a relatively good perimeter, Joe Johnson, Josh Smith, Josh Childers, these are still very capable, they are actually short of a good center.

However, the Hawks are still a weak team, well, they used to be a bad team.

After the adjustment of the lineup, although the Mavericks' current starting lineup has only changed two players, the overall style of play has changed greatly.

Let's take a look at the current starters of the Mavericks, Lao Hu, Eddie Jones, Nowitzki, David Lee, Diop.The characteristic of this lineup is that it is completely different from the previous Mavericks, they are not happy!
While not terribly slow, such Mavericks are definitely not fast.But at the same time, this lineup has height and defense.

The shortest Hu in this lineup is also [-] feet [-] inches, and the veteran Jones has a standard SG height of [-] feet [-] inches, not to mention the inside line, he has height and weight.Therefore, the defensive ability of the entire lineup has been greatly improved compared with before.

From the very beginning of the game against the Hawks, Lao Hu felt the difference. It was different from the previous Mavericks.

This lineup is more suitable for half-court offense and defense, and it is more suitable for the two newcomers, Lao Hu and David Lee, because it can just play the pick-and-roll cooperation between the two.

What's even more amazing is that when Jason Terry came on as a substitute, he was able to integrate his vitality into this lineup very well.

In this way, the Mavericks have two sets of sharp offensive combinations at once, the pick-and-roll cooperation of Lao Hu and Lao Li, and the "monkey and elephant game" of Terry and Nowitzki.

The offensive firepower of the Mavericks can be said to be played to the extreme. The entire basketball is running, and there is no trace of muddy water.

123 to 84, the Mavericks ushered in a big victory immediately after two consecutive losses!
"Oh ho ho ho!..."

"We are the invincible Texas Cowboys!"

A big victory, of course the fans are the happiest, the Dallas Cowboys were bouncing and jumping in the stands.

As for Lao Hu, who watched this scene, he had other feelings.

"It seems that Rick Carlisle is really a guy, and he is definitely not a scum of Laotuo's level."

That's right, this is Lao Hu's idea. He is very satisfied with the new head coach.

This year's Hawks are not the bad team they used to be. At least they entered the playoffs in the East. Although they didn't win 40 wins, the Mavericks won by nearly 40 points, which is also very telling.

The most critical change is actually letting Jason Terry play as a substitute!
Even though the Mavericks now have two sharp offensive combinations, there is only one in basketball, which means that the ball is not so easy to distribute.And Carlisle has just arrived, Nowitzki must not move, and Hulin and David Lee are people that Cuban values, so Carlisle's approach is very smart. He started from Terry, which is very good. Solved the problem of ball distribution.

Although Terry's playing time has not changed in any way, but after he became a substitute, at least he has been staggered with Lao Hu for a period of time, so there will be no problem with the ball, because Lao Hu is not a one who holds the ball. people.

After this change, the offense of the Mavericks has become extremely strong. However, Carlisle is still solving the offensive problem now. He just made the Mavericks stronger before.

As for the Mavericks' real problem, in terms of defense, Carlisle didn't use any zone defense. He just allowed Eddie Jones, who had a better defense, to play a few more minutes.Although this trick is somewhat useful, Eddie Jones is known for his good defense, but this veteran is now at the end of his career, and he should retire after this season. Therefore, the strengthening of defense is very limited. of.

But in doing so, Carlisle should also have thought about it. He may be afraid that making too many changes will make his subordinates uncomfortable, so it will be much better if he takes it step by step.

Of course, this is Lao Hu's own idea. He doesn't know if this is the case. In short, looking at it now, the Mavericks as a whole are still developing in a good direction. This is a good thing, isn't it?

The only problem is Jason Terry. No one knows whether this guy can play as a substitute willingly. Anyway, Lao Hu doesn't know. At least from Lao Hu's point of view, Terry doesn't seem to be so law-abiding. guy.

But everything is fine now, Terry is also playing as a substitute, Lao Hu doesn't need to think so much at all.

2007 is coming to an end soon. In this year, Lao Hu has changed from a boy to a man. This guy has a wife and children. Although this guy is still the same as before in essence, sometimes he is a bit guilty, but no matter what Matured a bit.

However, the regular season is still going on, Lao Hu doesn't have much time to think about this aspect, and the Mavericks' journey has begun again.

On January 2008, 1, the Mavericks ushered in their first opponent of the New Year at home, the Golden State Warriors!
This is a very "good-looking" game. Yes, everyone knows the characteristics of these two teams. Their game will definitely be very good-looking. This will definitely be a confrontational battle.Therefore, the tickets were sold out early in the morning, and the fans were already ready to watch the big show.

The result naturally did not disappoint the fans. The Mavericks at home beat the Warriors 121 to 90.

All is well, I should say wonderfully.

Under this offensive system, Lao Hu can pass the ball freely, just like getting assists.Not to mention Terry, this guy plays as a substitute, oh, it should be said that he is the sixth man, and he really plays well.

It is definitely a happy thing to win two consecutive games by a big score. The atmosphere in Dallas is very good, whether it is the fans or the team.

On January 1th, it was still home. The Mavericks waited for the Heat in the East.

Needless to say, the Heat, this year is their worst year. As of now, not only Lao Hu knows about this matter, but almost everyone in the league knows about it.

In the last two months of 07, the Heat didn't win a few games in total, counting on both hands. This is definitely a rotten team.

But what I didn't expect was that the Mavericks didn't win this game easily.

94 to 89, the Mavericks only won the opponent by 5 points, and in the end, if Terry hadn't hit a difficult three-pointer, the opponent might have been overturned.

It's very strange, but after watching the game, it won't be so strange, because there is a reason for the outbreak of the ball heat.

'Shark' O'Neal came out, and this guy seemed unwilling to be lonely, and appeared in the Heat's lineup again, which made it very difficult for the Mavericks to play inside.Although he is old, the power of the 'big shark' is still there. As long as this guy plays, he can bring great pressure to the opponent.

And Lao Hu knew that, in fact, the appearance of 'Big Shark' during this period was very purposeful.

The purpose of this is not to let the Heat's record be good, but to let others 'inspect'!
The so-called "inspection" means that the Heat intend to trade the "big shark" O'Neal. Before the transaction, the buyer must see if the big shark is okay?
This is a famous transaction in history. In February 08, the Suns will take out their own small forward, Sean Marion, to trade the 'big shark' with the Heat. Steve Kerr needs a strong insider. Let your team go further in the playoffs, and the 'Sharks' is just the treasure of the playoffs.

Moreover, this is also a deal made by the Heat to free up salary space. 'Shark' is old, but he still needs to get more than 1000 million US dollars a year, which is a huge obstacle for the Heat to get LeBron James.So, after trading the 'Sharks', Sean Marion didn't stay in the Heat for long, historically he went to the Raptors the next season.

It can only be said that the Mavericks were unlucky. They were just 'inspecting the goods'. The Mavericks were accidentally injured, but fortunately, they still won.

And then, the Mavericks' schedule is not bad, they all play every other day, and most of them are underdogs.

1月7号 ，客场102比72战胜森林狼。1月10号，主场92比83战胜了疲劳的活塞。1月12号，客场90比70战胜超音速。

Hooah!

The Mavericks came to a six-game winning streak!

　All kinds of tickets, haha, thank you for your support.
