Chapter 334 Qualifying in the first round
"The reason why the Warriors didn't let Dayao start is that Lenny's main consideration is probably to defend the Mavericks center LaFrentz's three-pointer. It's easy for Dayao to follow him, but it's difficult to retreat."

"As a traditional center, Dayao is at a disadvantage when encountering these centers who are good at shooting three-pointers, because his teammates have to help him out, and a negligence in rotation will give the opponent an open shot."

"It's just that in the current NBA league, there are not many centers who can shoot three-pointers and are accurate. If the centers of every NBA team can shoot three-pointers, big centers like Shaquille O'Neal and Yao Ming will probably have to Got a headache."

"Now Big Ben Wallace and Pau Gasol have no problem with their footsteps and bouncing awareness. One follows LaFrentz out of the three-point line, and the other is enough to stay inside to support the sky, no matter how you do it. Pick and roll, make sure there's always a big guy coming out, it's not going to give you LaFrentz a comfortable [-]-pointer anyway."

"Lafrenz and Najera are just fake starters. Old Nelson will not give them unlimited fire rights and enough playing time. Using them to start only increases the defensive strength and height of the opening game. Van Exel will still be deployed later. And players like Buckner."

"Old Nelson actually doesn't like to use centers very much. In every game, the combined playing time of all centers must not be enough for 48 minutes. Center lineup."

"This has to be said to be the only weird head coach in the NBA at present. When other teams are desperately building twin towers and hoarding a lot of big men inside, old Nelson has already begun to play basketball ahead of this era."

"Old basketball fans definitely cannot accept a style of play without a center. Isn't traditional basketball just about putting on a show, you hit me inside with your back, and I return you with a strong punch in the face. How can it be called basketball without a center?"

"Height determines the height of basketball. Since the beginning of basketball, basketball has been monopolized in the hands of tall people. After all, one inch is taller and one inch is stronger. No matter how against the sky, five small men with 1 meters are hard to beat. Five 7-meter-tall guys, this is where the physical talent lies, and it cannot be changed by hard work the day after tomorrow."

"However, history is constantly being rewritten. Now all the general managers and clubs in the NBA are chasing big centers with a height of 7 feet and 2 meters and 1. One day, everyone will find that without these big men, basketball will be better. Play faster, score more, be more efficient."

"This is the most critical life-and-death battle. The Mavericks and the Warriors gave up the three-pointer at the beginning of the game. After all, this is the time. No one dares to play with fire. The three-pointer tactic is to kill one thousand and hurt eight hundred. If it is not cast, it will be very passive."

"The Mavericks power forward Nowitzki's style of play has been constantly criticized since he entered the major league of the NBA. A big man with a height of 7 feet, which is 2 meters 13, seldom plays hard on the inside and always drifts. In the outside world, the long shot, golden rooster independence is his signature move, such a power forward will undoubtedly subvert people's cognition."

"The big men in the traditional NBA are used to pushing and shoving at the basket just to grab a better position. Muscle and strength are everything they believe in. In order to overwhelm others, the center power forwards in the NBA, It’s more in the gym than on the basketball court. I don’t have a weight of 300 pounds, and I don’t have the strength to bench press about 200 kilograms. I’m too embarrassed to come out and say hello to people.”

"Of course, straight players like O'Neal and Garnett can't bench press with such a high strength. The generally accepted standard in the NBA is that the bench press must have at least 120 kg. Otherwise, don't go inside to seek abuse. gone."

"The strength of European players is far inferior to that of African-American players, and there is also a gap between the physical fitness of Asian players and European players."

"Dayao's bench press strength exceeds 150 kilograms. Compared with Shaquille O'Neal and Big Ben Wallace, there must be some gaps. But at least, Yao Ming has already practiced it, so he won't be fooled by others and fly away." Extent to get out."

"For nba referees, there is no need to squeeze the ball before catching the ball. As long as the fouls and hits are not very conspicuous, the referees will selectively ignore them. At this time, if you want to stand on the inside, you must have that height and weight. and strength."

"Dayao started in the Shenzhou Men's Basketball Professional League back then. At that time, he was extremely light, as thin as a long bean sprout. When a big center in China squeezed in, Yao Ming staggered and bounced out."

"From being able to fight against the big guys in China, to now playing among the world's top nba guys, Yao Ming has put in unimaginable sweat and hard work. There are not many people who are taller than 2 meters 2, but in fact It’s not as little as everyone thinks.”

"Every year, countless basketball talents and wizards emerge from more than 100 countries and regions around the world, but in the end, it is only a very small number of them that can be favored and selected by the NBA. It is very rare to play in the NBA and stay there."

"The dozens of players selected in the draft every year, we will look at them in two or three years. Most of them have disappeared. It's not that they retired or stopped playing basketball, but that they can't continue to play. Play in the first-level basketball league, or go to Europe and Asia to play.”

"Nowitzki is very tired today. The sweat on his face has never stopped flowing. The Warriors don't double-team him, but they strictly limit his shot options. He is too close to the basket and outside the three-point line. Warriors players Block it tightly and don't give him any chance to make a move."

"And Nash gives people the feeling of admiration. He was knocked down by breakthroughs countless times, and the bridge of his nose was interrupted countless times and pushed out of the baseline. However, Nash, the son of the wind, always returned to the court tenaciously. A small man of 80 kilograms explained what basketball is. The true meaning of sports, don’t give up and don’t admit defeat, come back countless times, it’s okay to lose, but it’s definitely not okay to lose.”

"The Warriors obviously found a way to restrain the Mavericks today. The offensive end kept consuming Nash and Nowitzki. Whoever matched up with them would fight to the end. They were close to each other. The defensive end even double-teamed Nash crazily. The Mavericks point guard Nash It’s hard to catch the ball.”

"91:79, congratulations to the Warriors for winning this critical fourth game, so that they eliminated the fourth-ranked Mavericks in the West 3:1, and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. Their opponents will be The Sacramento Kings, the Kings also defeated the Seattle SuperSonics with the same score of 3:1."
