After changing careers, I ruled an era in the NBA

The media placed the Dallas Mavericks in seventh place. In fact, the fans of the Dallas Mavericks are very satisfied.

According to what they thought, the original Mavericks should be rebuilt, and they should still belong to the position of fish belly at this time, but who knew that the No. 41 pick would not only lead the team to the playoffs, but also the second season. Ranked seventh in the championship odds list, what's there to be dissatisfied about?

As for Su Jiuyun, of course he is dissatisfied. Regarding this lineup, which can be said to be created by him, Su Jiuyun is very clear about the strength of this lineup. It not only complements each other, but also has a balance of offense and defense. If it should not occupy the ball, it will not occupy the ball. There is no such thing. One goal that many teams worry about is not enough points.

Su Jiuyun directly forwarded the championship odds ranking list, and then said:

"Seventh, which means many people think there are six teams that are better than us. That's good. This season will be very interesting. Let's see at the end of the season. What's the joke?"

Su Jiuyun's social content quickly aroused heated discussion, but this time there were not so many people mocking him. After all, he had slapped too many people in the face in the past year. Many things have proved that Su Jiuyun's boasts are all over the place. Achieved.

On September 9th media day, all members of the Mavericks officially appeared.

So far, the Mavericks have received contracts, with a total of 14 players. The management has one remaining spot and is looking for personnel to sign another point guard.

Position 1: Su Jiuyun, Collison.

Position 2: Carter, Iguodala, Wayne Ellington

Position 3: Marion, Middleton

Position 4: Covington, Crowder, Jonas Jerebko

Position 5, Nowitzki, Murphy, Plumlee, Bernard James

In this team's lineup, the weakest ones are the point guard and the small forward at the 3rd position.

However, because Covington, Crowder, and Iguodala can all play the 3 position, the staff seems thin, but there are actually enough rotation players.

Only the point guard is the weakest link. There are only two authentic point guards, Su Jiuyun and Collison.

The training camp officially started on the second day. During the initial physical examination, Su Jiuyun actually grew to 2 meters tall and weighed 1 kilograms.

When they saw that Su Jiuyun did not decline in various mobile tests, the boss Cuban and the coaching staff were even more ecstatic. This was simply blinding their eyes.

Because most of the Mavericks players have participated in Su Jiuyun's training camp, and several veteran players have good self-discipline, no one has to lose weight before they can train together.

On the first day, Carlisle had a rivalry match.

Under Su Jiuyun's suggestion, Su Jiuyun, Iguodala, Middleton, Crowder, and Nowitzki were in a group, and then Su Jiuyun and the others used a tacit running and gunning style in the training camp to directly defeat their opponents. Got to be dizzy.

After Su Jiuyun, Iguodala, and Middleton controlled the backcourt rebounds, they immediately launched a fast break, and then fired four arrows, which almost exploded the opponent's basket.

4个1米97到2米01的跑跳肌肉男冲击起来有点恐怖，特别是苏九云和伊戈达拉的传球让推快攻的他们有着更多的选择。

In positional battles, each of the 5 points can shoot a three-pointer. In addition, only one of the 4th positions has slightly poor passing ability. None of them has a unique style of play. Then their passing ball makes the opponent directly Gu. The head is ignored.

On the defensive end, it suffocates the opponent. Although the 4th position is slightly shorter and only Nowitzki is taller, the mobility and defensive abilities of the 1st to 4th positions are all elite level.

And whether it is single defense or assisted defense, everyone can relieve a lot of pressure on Nowitzki's frame protection. They have prevented their opponents from violating 24 seconds several times.

More importantly, except for Su Jiuyun and Nowitzki, the other three players can play their own style without holding the ball or occupying the ball.

Carlisle, Cuban, and Nelson were all a little stunned and excited at the brutal performance of Su Jiuyun's lineup on the court.

Cuban grinned widely and said:

"Rick, it seems that their small training camp is still effective, they have a good understanding, Khris Middleton's shooting is very accurate, and his defense is so good.

Has the Pistons' front office had their brains kicked? No need for such a player? "

At this time, Carlisle watched Middleton accurately hit a three-pointer after receiving Su Jiuyun's breakthrough pass. Hearing Cuban's words, he couldn't help but be happy and said:

"This kid Su has very vicious eyes. Look at Covington and Plumlee, they also performed very well, especially Plumlee. His rim protection is much better than Bernard James!"

Several people were there to comment, but without exception they were extremely satisfied.

"Rick, this year's lineup is definitely stronger than last year's. As long as we find tactics that suit them, we can expect great results this season!"

"Yes, I have some ideas. I will study it with the coaching staff in the next few days and give it a try in the preseason!"

In the following training camp, Carlisle began to try different tactics.

Carlisle also personally approached Carter and Marion and told him clearly that they would definitely play as substitutes in the new season, and the two old men had no objections. After all, in daily drills, they knew that they could no longer keep up with the impact speed. .

Carlisle's tactics must still be based on the way he played in the playoffs last season, and then make fine adjustments.

For example, after Andre Iguodala came, he had one more ball release point, and the proportion of Su Jiuyun's off-ball play increased a bit. If his off-ball play accounted for about 25% in the playoffs last season, then it is now 30%. -35%.

At the same time, he emphasized counter-running, air-cutting, position 4 as an off-ball screen for Middleton and other shooters, etc.!

In short, both the coaching staff and veterans such as Su Jiuyun, Nowitzki, and Carter can see that after such fine-tuning, the Dallas Mavericks' play style is smoother and more varied.

Of course, Su Jiuyun's identity as the number one core player on the court has been further consolidated, and Carlisle also has more requirements for Su Jiuyun and Nowitzki to play small and big after the pick-and-roll.

Watching the entire team getting better little by little every day, all the players of the Dallas Mavericks are already looking forward to the start of the new season.
