The invincible kryptonite of basketball

There are endless words about the most organized big man in history who passes the ball ten times better than himself.

"How do you rate the Mavericks' performance, or do you think they'll give you problems for the rest of the series?"

A reporter asked Tang Tian a rather special question.

"Of course, they are getting better and better. The first game we spent less than three quarters to finish the game, but this time they played us to the last 5 minutes, the next game is in Dallas, that will It was a fierce battle."

Tang Tian still praised the performance of the Mavericks.

"How would you rate today's conflict?"

The reporter asked about Pachulia's stepping.

"Obviously, the last suspension did not make Pachulia realize his mistake. I think the league should step up efforts to deal with this matter, otherwise the conflict may happen again, which will have a great impact on the image of the league. Big loss."

Tang Tian directly put pressure on Xiao Hua in advance.

After the game between the Mavericks and the Pelicans, the second games of the other three groups also ended at the same time.

The Cavaliers once again defeated the Nets 101 to 79.

The strength gap between the two teams is obvious, and the Cavaliers played the first round very easily.

The Heat narrowly beat the Eagles 93 to 91.

Whiteside continued to play well, scoring 18 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks.

Wade scored 21 points. He finally blocked Korver's lore and helped the Heat take a 2-0 lead on a big score.

The Spurs beat the Thunder 103 to 90.

After losing the first game, Popovich quickly made adjustments, giving Durant unlimited defensive pressure.

This was also what Popovich used on Tang Tian.

Facts have proved that the current Durant is indeed one step behind Tang Tian. He only scored 26 points on 10 of 23 shots.

After the game, the big score of the two teams became a 1-1 tie, and the outcome of the series is still full of unknowns.

After the end of the first two games, the Pelicans and the Mavericks moved to Dallas, where the two sides will compete in the next two games.

0 to 2 behind the situation is unfavorable, the Mavericks official also played the logo to defend the home court.

Dallas fans have never lacked enthusiasm, and such a logo also makes the fans high-spirited.

Not only outside the American Airlines Center arena, but also on the surrounding streets, such logos can be seen everywhere.

As long as these two home games are held, the Mavericks still have hope of winning.

However, before the game, there was a bad news for the Mavericks.

The league punished Pachulia severely for the incident. Although the stepping attempt was attempted, it was still suspended for five games and fined $2.

In other words, even if the Pelicans and Mavericks reach the tiebreaker, Pachulia will not be able to play again.

The Mavericks protested, but the league dismissed it.

This signal is also obvious, Xiao Hua does not want those dirty playing methods to appear again.

The fans cheered for the league's decision, and also cheered for Tang Tian.

As Tang Tian's status in the alliance got higher and higher, he gradually began to gain influence and voice.

The American Airlines Center arena was crowded that night, and team owner Mark Cuban was wearing his iconic blue T-shirt, his face flushed in the front row.

The enthusiasm of the Dallas fans is really unparalleled, and this scene is even better than the New Orleans Arena.

Although Pachulia was suspended, the Mavericks were still in high spirits when they showed up on the field.

It's not appropriate for them not to be excited about such a home court!

After the opening ceremony, the third game of the two-team series also began soon.

After the two games, the two sides have basically figured out each other.

Carlisle and Stevens also did not make lineup adjustments.

Embiid jumped to get the ball for the Mavericks, but Butler came up and made a jumper with a pass from Deron.

There were constant cheers at the scene.

Just like Tang Tian said at the press conference, the Mavericks returned to the home court even more imposingly, and this is destined to be a fierce battle.

The fans at the scene thought so, and so did the fans in front of the TV.

Even the Big Three of TNT, including the commentary booth, think so.

But soon, everyone found that the game was completely different from what they imagined.

The Pelicans were obviously prepared. They raised the quality of defense very high from the very beginning, and even Tang Tian threw himself into the defense.

Then, keep playing defensive counterattacks.

This approach completely exposed the characteristics of the Mavericks' weak defense.

After the first quarter, the Mavericks were beaten by the Pelicans without changing hands, falling behind 16 to 36 in a single quarter.

During the intermission, the on-set cameraman gave Stevens a shot.

Stevens still turned to look at Tang Tian.

This was another trick Tang Tian gave him.

The Mavericks failed to organize a counterattack like the previous one.

They eventually lost to the Pelicans 78 to 102 at home, and fell behind 0 to 3 by a big score.

There has never been a team in NBA history that has come back from a 0-3 deficit.

In other words, the Mavericks' season trip is over.

Only then did the fans remember what Tang Tian said at the press conference after the second match.

This guy is a big fool!

He also said that the Mavericks played better and better, and the away game would become very intense, and the battle ended in one quarter.

Toxic milk!It's all poisonous milk!

It was at this time that some fans realized that Tang Tian was a disciple trained by Popovich.

This operation is exactly what Popovich really taught.

The fourth game will be played two days later.

Stevens dragged Tang Tian to chat about tactics for the fourth game.

He thought he had a thorough understanding of tactics, but after these two games, he found that he was a little far behind Tang Tian.

It sounds unbelievable that a manager is not as good as a player, but it is true.

But he wasn't jealous, instead he was slowly chatting with Tang Tian with a learning attitude.

There is no end to learning, not to mention that he himself is the youngest type of coach.

"The last game will definitely be very intense. The Mavericks will do their best to win the game, and we will even be ready to go back to New Orleans for Game [-]."

Tang Tian said seriously.

Tactics and so on, the two sides have played three games, and they have used everything that can be used.

The Pelicans won the third game surprisingly, but the Mavericks themselves did not play well is also a major reason.

In the last game, if you don't win or get eliminated, the Mavericks will definitely fight.

"Psychology and details."

Stevens is indeed very talented coach, and then said the key points of the fourth game.

Being prepared for a tough battle and grasping every detail of the game is the key point for the Pelicans to end the series.

Chapter 8 Cuban's Big Move

0 to 3 behind, the Mavericks' training was changed to closed.

In desperation, they lose another game and the season will be over.

The luxury lineup was swept in the first round, and they couldn't accept such an ending.

The morale of the players is inevitably low during training.

While practicing, the team owner Cuban came to the training hall.

Cuban is the boss who loves basketball the most in the league. With the current situation of the team, he is more anxious than anyone else as the number one fan.

He came to the arena for only one purpose, which is to boost morale.

Behind him were a few assistants who brought in several big boxes together.

Judging by the weight, it is quite heavy.

Carlisle saw Cuban coming and was about to call the players down.

Cuban motioned him not to shout, and he stood beside Carlisle, chatting and waiting.

After the on-field training was over, he asked Carlisle to call the players together.

"I know each of you have worked hard on the court, but I know you can do better, remember you are playing for Dallas."

Cuban's words are more straightforward, and his character has always been like this.

"Here's a little present from me."

Cuban said and asked the staff to open one of the large boxes.

Inside are brand new computers.

"This is the latest laptop from Lenovo, they're a great company with a great product."

Cuban spoke up.

Lenovo's retail sales of all products in the United States are much lower than those in other countries, and its reputation is very good.

One of these notebooks costs just over US$1000, and fifteen sets cost less than US$[-]. They are indeed small gifts.

But the gift has nothing to do with the size. The players can receive the gift from the team owner, which is a memorable thing in itself.

Cuban then asked the staff to open a second box.

The second box was opened, and a golden light caught the eyes of the team members.

Cuban actually brought the championship trophy he won in 2011 to the training hall!

"I heard that Don and AD have championship trophy tattoos on their arms, so I bring you the real thing."

"my darling."

A sweet smile appeared on Nowitzki's face.

The championship trip five years ago is his sweetest memory, which he will never forget.

As he spoke, he had already stepped forward to touch it.

After the NBA championship trophy is won, there will be a customary championship parade, and then it will be displayed in the showroom.

The last time Nowitzki touched the trophy was during the championship parade five years ago.

Five years later, things have changed, and the original group of people is only him and Jose Barea.

Then there was a burst of cheers in the training hall.

The team members swarmed up.

This is the first time most of them have had the chance to touch a championship trophy.

This gift is much more valuable than the computer just now.

Butler also went up, his expression was complicated when he touched the championship trophy.

There is excitement, but also loss.
