Chapter 1143 Dallas "Sunset Red" Team
Three days after the Clippers knocked out the Nuggets, their semifinal opponents soon followed.

The Mavericks beat the Trail Blazers away in Game [-] to join the Clippers in the Western Conference semifinals.

Because the Mavericks are second in the West and the Clippers are third, the Mavericks have home court advantage.

But this time Lan Shengli did not rush the team to the away game as he did against the Nuggets, but stayed at the team base in Los Angeles.

In addition, after listening to Lan Shengli's words before, saying that the training will be very tiring, I feel that the preparations for the next battle will not be easy.

"Oh~, I didn't expect the Mavericks and the Clippers to meet, haha~!"

Here, Byron called Lan Shengli and said.

"I don't even know which team to support now~"

Byron continued.

"Of course I support the Clippers~!!, you are from California, your best brother is still the head coach of this team, and~, there are many reasons, in short, you just support the Clippers~! !"

Lan Shengli responded.

"But Dallas is the place where I made my achievements. I am now a Dallas native and a Texan native~!"

Byron responded.

"Okay~, then it's up to you~, in short, sooner or later a team will advance to the Western Conference Finals~, for you, it doesn't matter which team wins~!!"

Lan Shengli said.

"Maybe~, come on~!!, my coach Blue, I have already booked the front row tickets, and I will go to the scene when the time comes~!"

Byron said.

"No problem, bring your Brazilian girlfriend~!!, but I may not have time to reunite with you~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

The two continued to chat, Lan Shengli had already arrived at the training hall, and the official preparations for the first day of the semi-finals were about to begin.

"What do you think of the next opponent, the Mavericks~?!"

After the warm-up, Lan Shengli suddenly asked the team members.

"A team that always plays a tragic role in the playoffs. It led 2006-2 in the 0 Finals, but was directly defeated by Wade, who was "Possessed by Jordan", and lost four games in a row and missed the championship. In the following season, The Mavericks also got the best record in the regular season, and they were defeated by the Warriors in the first round~!!, it is also miserable enough~, so they can also be called supporting roles~"

Here George said.

"Hmm~"

Lan Shengli listened and nodded.

"In the next few seasons, although the Mavericks were able to enter the playoffs, they did not go far. The only star of this team is Dirk Nowitzki, but any team that beat the Mavericks has found it. The way to restrict Nowitzki~!!"

Hill said.

Lan Shengli listened and continued to nod his head.

"The defense of the Mavericks is not very good. Even though their head coach has changed from the former general Johnson to the current Carlisle, I don't think the quality of the defense has changed much~!!"

Livingston said with a serious expression.

"That's right, this has a lot to do with their head star Dirk Nowitzki. The Germans' offense is really incomprehensible, but on the defensive end, it is a lagging existence~!!"

Farmer continued.

"Mmmmm~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to listen carefully and nodded.

"What about the others, do you have any ideas~?!"

Seeing that the other players did not speak any more, Lan Shengli asked.

"I think you should have watched the series between the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers before. We just played four games against them this season. We each defended the home court, so I think you should know more about the Mavericks~ !!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

The team members heard it, but still didn't say anything.

"Since you have just mentioned so many problems and weaknesses of the Mavericks, let me talk about the advantages of the Mavericks that I have summarized~ After all, it is impossible for a team that can reach the Western Conference semifinals without any advantages. To defeat an opponent, one must not only grasp the opponent's shortcomings, but also understand the opponent's strengths~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"If you want to defeat an opponent, you must not only grasp the opponent's shortcomings, but also understand the opponent's strengths~, wow~, this sentence makes sense~"

Little Jordan listened and sighed secretly.

"How about it~, everyone go to the lounge later, I will tell you there~, let's analyze the Mavericks thoroughly this morning~!!"

Lan Shengli said.

When the team members heard about it, they quickly packed up their things and left.

Soon, the "Lan Shengli Small Classroom" started.

"The advantages of the Mavericks, one is that their lineup is very experienced, especially the experience in the playoffs~!!"

Lan Shengli was writing on the whiteboard while talking.

"Starting guard Kidd is an old monster. The defensive end can effectively limit the opponent's guard and at the same time shoot about 42% of the three-pointers. The rebellious Dampier was replaced by Tyson Chandler, who is now more down-to-earth and can send out 2.2 blocks per game. Although the two are equally on the offensive end, Chandler will never On the offensive end, he is very clear about his responsibilities, and he can complete the work of a blue-collar center very well. This is very important for the Mavericks. After all, Nowitzki's defensive ability is limited, and the Mavericks only have Chandler. This frame protector~”

Lan Shengli began to analyze.

The team members listened carefully and recorded it in their own notebooks.

"In addition to these people, there are Terry the best sixth man, Puerto Rican defender Barea, and Serbian marksman Peja. Contribution, this is very important~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

Hearing what Lan Shengli said, the Mavericks really have a lot of players.

"But~!!, an experienced team will have another drawback~!!, that is the age structure is too big~!!"

Lan Shengli changed the topic.

"I gave the Mavericks another nickname, the Dallas Sunset Reds~!!"

"Haha~!!"

"Haha~!!"

When the team members heard this, they immediately burst out laughing.

"Indeed~, the main players of the Mavericks are indeed over [-] years old, and they seem to be older than Coach Blue~"

George heard and sighed.

"Yes, that's it. Their age structure is indeed very large. The average age is slightly older than me, but because young Caron Butler cannot play in the finals due to injury, we are facing such a team. Only the sunset red team, the advantages of youth will be fully revealed~!!"

Lan Shengli said in an extremely sure tone.
