Coach Lee

Chapter 515 The Calf to Be Slaughtered

As soon as the second round came up, the Nuggets swept away the haze of the first round and directly killed the Mavericks 3-0.

No one expected that the Nuggets, who played so poorly in the first round, would be so strong in the second round.

Many people have said that this is because the Mavericks are born with a bad life.

The Mavericks have the "sanctioned playoffs" disease.

The Mavericks played well in the first round, but this time against the Nuggets, it's like being restrained by nature.The Mavericks have been unable to fight back in three games.

The sound of running and bombing has been questioned for many years, and of course it is getting stronger now.

"Run and boom, run and boom, how many years have passed, how come some people still don't believe in evil? I think Don Nelson is crazy."

"Don Nelson's run-and-gun style won't work! Offensive basketball is the trail after all, and defense is the last word."

"The playoffs are all about defense. Whoever defends well will win. Except for Tim's personal defense, the Mavericks' defense is not good, especially Steve. This is a defensive loophole."

"Offense wins the regular season, and defense wins the championship. Although the Mavericks are the league's No. [-] in the regular season, in the playoffs, they can't go far."

"Don Nelson wasted Tim Duncan's talent. If Tim Duncan had been traded to another team, even the Spurs, he would have won the championship by now."

Just like the media questioned the Nuggets in the last round, in this round, the media questioned the Mavericks.After all, the score is already 3-0 now, and there is no suspenseful round at all.

In the eyes of everyone, the Dallas Mavericks are really a calf waiting to be slaughtered.

Before the start of the fourth game, Don Nelson was questioned by many reporters.

"0-3 behind, Coach Nelson, whose problem do you think this is?"

"If the Mavericks still fail to make a breakthrough this year, will Coach Nelson resign?"

"The Mavericks have never touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals. Coach Nelson, haven't you thought about improving?"

"Coach Nelson"

Don Nelson's face was heavy. To be honest, why didn't he think about these issues?There must be.

Resign?I really thought about it.However, his insistence on running and bombing did not allow him to give up easily.

Why is the team so successful in the regular season but not far in the playoffs?
Team improvement?He wanted to improve, but the free agent market has been exhausted.The guy who fits his system best didn't come to the bowl!
Finally, Don Nelson squeezed his way through the middle without saying a word.Leave the reporters with a back view that is nothing to look at.

In the locker room, the entire Mavericks team looked gloomy.Everyone lowered their heads a little, feeling very disappointed.Even Duncan and Nash were a little frustrated.This team really can't hold their heads up.

Without a team core, without a locker room leader, this team really can't do it!

Don Nelson scanned for a week, wanting to shake his head, but held back.

He narrowed his eyes, then said in a deep voice:

"Just now, a reporter outside asked me why we can win the regular season but not the playoffs? Have you ever thought about this question?"

Everyone lowered their heads a little more.

This problem is not limited to outsiders, everyone in the team has thought about it, and it's not a day or two.

The regular season is as fierce as a tiger, and the playoffs are weak and bullying.

Every time it comes to the playoffs, the Mavericks are like taking laxatives, soft!
Anyone can pinch it.

"What's going on here? Is it under a spell? Or is it like those experts say, running and bombing is a big deal for the playoffs?"

No one opened their mouths to answer Don Nelson. Instead, they hid themselves, as if they were afraid of being called out by Don Nelson.

Glancing at everyone again, Don Nelson asked and answered himself.

"To be honest, I can't figure it out!"

Don - Nelson can't figure it out?
Everyone secretly glanced at Don Nelson.

Tim Duncan frowned slightly, and then glanced at someone behind Don Nelson thoughtfully.

Nelson looked at everyone and continued: "You are all brought out by me. I know that you are all very good. In the previous game, was your real strength? No! I don't believe it! That's not your real strength!"

Not our true strength?
Many people nodded in agreement with these words, and they did not believe that this was their true strength.

"We beat the Lakers by 30 points in the regular season, and the 76ers were also defeated by us. The king's gorgeous play is not worth mentioning in front of us. We played against the Nuggets four times in the regular season, and we were 3-1 , It is a complete advantage for them. The playoffs are just a name change. Why can't we get over this hurdle?
Because we are afraid of losing, because you care too much about the opinions of the outside world.

You should calm down, calm down well, restore your mood, and calm down. "

Calmness is not so easy to do, Don Nelson also decided to teach everyone how to do it.

"Okay, everyone listen to me, close your eyes, feel your breath, feel your heartbeat, let yourself relax, calm down."

The whole locker room was quiet, there was no unnecessary sound, everyone closed their eyes, and slowly relaxed themselves
"Let's go! Dallas!"

Tonight's Dallas Reunion Arena was packed, and there was thunderous cheers.

The visiting team players who were preparing in the player tunnel also felt the enthusiasm.

Because of the huge 3-0 lead, the Nuggets players also have peace of mind.

"It's really enviable. It would be wonderful if our fans could be so united."

"Tch, those people are just fools. They support whoever plays well. They don't have any sense of home court."

"Honestly, I don't like our fans, it's so frustrating."

A few guys were chirping, and veteran Patrick Ewing also said:

"Why do they defect so easily? That's because we haven't played well enough. If we played very well every game, would they still have the heart to support others? No!"

"Brother, although what you said makes sense, it's really too difficult to do it."

It is indeed difficult to play well in every game.

However, Li Nan on the side also smiled.

If you don't try, how do you know you can't do it?
"Welcome to the Reunion Stadium, ladies and gentlemen, next, are you ready for this game?"

"Oh oh oh!"

The enthusiastic voice told the host that everyone is ready.

"Okay, then we will invite players from both sides to enter the field!"

In the weak introduction of the on-site host, the Nuggets took the lead in entering the arena.

Unsurprisingly, the entire Nuggets team was booed by the Mavericks, especially when Li Nan played, the boos on the scene were even louder.It's really hard for them to like this guy who kills his team to death.

When the Mavericks entered the field, the roar of cheers at the scene really made people jealous and envious.

However, Li Nan noticed that today's Mavericks players are different.

Yes, it's different.

After all, this is their last battle.
