Nba: Load Doncic Template After Being Banned

The G1 Mavericks won a big victory. Apart from the fans in Dallas, there are also the coaching staff who are happy.

Especially the old Nelson, the hearty victory and Wang Zhi's dazzling performance made him proud for a while!

Yes, facing his old rival Adelman, as well as the "love disciple" Chris Weber who once parted ways, this time, the old Nelson finally won.

He is the carrier of his brand-new basketball concept, as well as his disciples.

Most importantly, his favorite Wang Zhi became the biggest factor in winning this big victory.

Of course, Nelson Sr. and his coaching staff did not take it lightly.

The long coaching career and the absolute understanding of these two teams made Nelson understand that it is still not easy to win this round of the series.

The big victory of the Mavericks in G1 is a super-level performance, not a typical victory.

In the next game, the Kings will definitely make adjustments.

Old Nelson guessed right. Two days later, in G2, the Kings challenged the American Airlines Center again after tactical and strategic adjustments.

This time, the Mavericks' shooting percentage is no longer as magical as G1.

As soon as the game started, the Kings paid attention to lowering the rhythm to play positions. Their complex and proficient Princeton system was originally suitable for attacking positions.

The Kings didn't make any big adjustments on the defensive end, but the Mavericks' shooting percentage returned to normal.

After the first quarter, the Mavericks fell behind at 24:33.

Dallas fans are not in a hurry, because it has been proven that the Mavericks start behind is really nothing to worry about, because Wang Zhi will only shoot.

In the second quarter of the game, when Wang Zhi led the bench lineup, he really made a move. Wang Zhi, who had a normal touch in the first quarter, played a strong performance in the second quarter again. He scored 11 consecutive points in a short period of time. Very brave.

However, today's Kings' substitutes performed equally well. Bobby Jackson and Keon Clark played one inside and one outside, and the Kings' rotation lineup even surpassed that of the Mavericks.

Although the main players of both sides played afterwards, they felt average.

But in the second quarter, the Mavericks still lost three points in a single quarter with 26:29.

After halftime, the score came to 50:62, and the Mavericks trailed by 12 points.

The Kings are still the same Kings, with 61 points in the last half and 62 points in the half of this game, with little fluctuation.

But the Mavericks are very different. 187 scored 83 points in the last half, and only 50 points are left in this game. All of this is caused by fluctuations in shooting percentage.

Fortunately, the score behind is only 12 points, which is not too much, so the fans in Dallas are still not too worried.

In the second half, the Mavericks really set off a counterattack. In the third quarter, they even played a single quarter performance of 37:26, narrowing the point difference to only 1 point.

However, in the last quarter when the victory was supposed to be established, the Kings showed their seasoned side. In the rotation, they began to double-team Wang Zhi, who had a mediocre feel today, and did not give him a chance to play.

When it came to the main lineup, Divac and Peja both played and won the game in one fell swoop.

In the end, the Mavericks lost the game 113:124, and the big score became 1:1.

In the whole game, Wang Zhi, Finley and Nash all scored 20 points for the Mavericks. Dirk Nowitzki also scored 18 points due to his poor hand feeling. Van Exel also scored 10 points on the bench.

It stands to reason that the team's five players scored in double figures, which is already a very good performance.

But the Kings did better, with six scoring in double figures!

Peja 26 points, Webber 24 points, Divac 14 points, Christie 13 points, Bobby Jackson 23 points, Clark 11 points.

For the Mavericks, this is a very regrettable loss. They had hoped to win G2, but they lost power at the last moment.

Dirk Nowitzki is no longer miraculous, the key ball hits the iron continuously, and Wang Zhi also made a fatal mistake, which eventually caused the Mavericks to fall short.

In this way, after losing an away game, the Mavericks' initiative has been lost.

The direction of the entire series has undergone a huge deflection!

Originally, if they went to Sacramento to play an away game with 2:0, for the Mavericks, it would be very psychologically advantageous. If they have 2 away games, as long as they fight for the next one, the Mavericks will only be one step away from advancing!

And if it is a 1:1 tie and goes to the home court of the Kings, the situation is completely different. Once the Mavericks fail to win one of the away games, then the big score is 1:3, and they are not far from being eliminated.

What's more, the Mavericks lost to the Kings in their own "devil's home court" with a huge home court advantage. If they go to the away game, can they really fight for the next game? This is a question.

Under such circumstances, even the always confident Dallas fans are a little worried about the Mavericks.

"The Kings' home (aebe) winning percentage is also very high. When we go there to play, it feels like a bad luck."

"Last year was like this. We lost all the away games, and then failed to defend all the home games. Then we were eliminated 1:4. Will it be the same this year?"

"Hey, he said he was counting on Wang Zhi's ability to turn the tide. I feel like the end result is pretty much the same."

"Wang Zhi has already done his best, after all he is only in the second grade, so I can't ask him to do more!"

"Yeah, in the series against the Kings, he averaged 28 points per game. He is already the team's best player. What we need is for other All-Star players to stand up!"

Yes, the fans were right.

The Mavericks' away game policy also revolves around how to liberate the "troika".

Obviously, in the two games at home, Dirk Nowitzki did not have the unsolvable performance of the first round, and the performances of Nash and Finley can only be said to be not bad.

This is mainly because of the Kings' excellent team defense.

Now, the problem that the Mavericks have to solve is how to break their synergy.

Soon, G3 is coming, Sacramento's away game is indeed difficult!

In the past two years, the Mavericks have never won in this arena.

In the regular season last season, the Mavericks had 2 wins and 2 losses against the Kings, winning 2 games at home.

The only game in the playoffs that was eliminated by the Kings 1:4 was also at the well field.

Not to mention this year, with 1 win and 3 losses in the regular season, the winner is naturally at home.

Even though the home court of the Mavericks is the home court with the highest winning percentage in the league, when it comes to the "devil's home court", in fact, the home court of the Kings can be counted as one.

Soon, the Kings responded to the Mavericks about how aggressive they really are at home!

Amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of home fans, the Kings played like chicken blood from the very beginning. All kinds of active defense and fighting made the Mavericks very uncomfortable.

And they soon discovered that the whistleblowing scale of the game that night was relatively loose, so they dared to make moves in defense, so that the Mavericks' offense could not be played at all.

Throughout the first quarter, Finley was defended to 0 for 4 shots, Nowitzki made 0 for 3 shots, Nash made 1 for 2 shots, and the troika only scored 3 points in total. This kind of performance is simply a nightmare.

Fortunately, Wang Zhi used a completely different rhythm and personal singles after his debut, and scored 10 points in 4 of 5 in a single quarter, which prevented the Mavericks from playing an outrageous quarter.

Even so, in the first quarter, the Mavericks still trailed each other by 20:24.

Seeing that the opponent used the referee's loose scale to wantonly defend on the ground, the Mavericks were not idle here, and the old Nelson also let the players do the same.

However, this move has suffered a "dark loss".

The Mavericks' forcing defense was more fouled by the referees, which allowed the Kings to get a lot of free throw opportunities.

This makes the coaching staff and players of the Mavericks very dissatisfied. It seems that the scale of the two teams is not balanced when the referee whistles.

Old Nelson even ran to the sidelines to argue with the referee in a rage because of this, and even got a technical foul.

After a chaotic quarter, the Mavericks lost another 11 points at 17:28 in a single quarter.

At halftime, the score came to 37:52, and the Mavericks trailed by 15 points at halftime.

This is a very bad result. Being behind by 15 points is not the key point. The Mavericks, the league's most offensive firepower team, only scored 37 points in the half, which is the biggest problem.

It is true that tonight is quite a bit of a "home whistle" bias, which is very unfriendly to the Mavericks.

But that's not the point of the question.

The biggest problem lies in the overall absence of the Mavericks.

Dirk Nowitzki made 0 of 6 shots in the half and only scored 1 point. Under the Kings' infinite double-teaming defensive strategy, he played very uncomfortable.

Finley scored 3 of 9 and only scored 7 points. Nash scored 2 of 6 and scored 4 points.

The only normal player in the team was Wang Zhi with 19 points in the half.

But even so, Wang Zhi's performance today was not efficient, only 5 of 11 shots.

This is not a problem of the Mavericks' style of play, but more of a problem with the player's state and feel.

Obviously, that's the biggest problem with shooting teams: Inconsistency!

When they feel good, even the strongest opponents will be beaten to the ground by them. For example, in G1, they scored 110+ crazy shots in three quarters, and even led the Kings by 30 points.

When it feels bad, like tonight, it only scored 37 points at halftime, which is more like the data played by two iron-blooded defensive teams in the East.

Of course, the Mavericks players are not discouraged, because they have experienced this situation many times, and they don't know when the feeling will come.

In the third quarter, the Mavericks' touch has indeed recovered, but it's barely reached the normal level. The whole scene can only be kept behind the Kings, and there is no tendency to chase points back.

In the third quarter, the Mavericks lost another 5 points in a single quarter at 24:29.

In the last quarter, the Kings also experienced an offensive power outage, and even severely pulled their hips, but the Mavericks did not seize the opportunity to turn the game over.

In the end, the Mavericks lost G3 83:99 in the away game, and the big score came to 1:2

In the whole game, only Wang Zhi scored more than 20 points on the Mavericks side. He scored 23 points. In addition, Finley and Nash scored 16 points and 12 points respectively, and Nowitzki scored only 11 points. This might be his worst playoff game yet.

For the Mavericks, losing a game like this is definitely not a big deal.

Known for their firepower, the Mavericks only scored 83 points? This is definitely an ugly game.

After experiencing two consecutive defeats, the trend of the series has been completely deflected.

The media and experts have expressed their optimism for the Kings' 4:1 victory over the Mavericks to advance, but their evaluation of the Mavericks is still not high.

"Although this Mavericks team has such surprises as Wang Zhi this year, in essence, this Mavericks team has no obvious difference from last year.

They have no defense and rely too much on shooting. This kind of team may play well in the regular season, but when they encounter a real strong team in the playoffs, they will not be able to do so.

"The Kings are still too comprehensive. Facts have proved that they can still handle the Mavericks as easily as they have in the past."

"Old Nelson is too stubborn, look at the performance of Webber who was reprimanded by him back then, and Adelman who was looked down upon by him back then, he beat him again and again

Team...perhaps, his concept really doesn't work. "

G4 is not a life-and-death battle for the Mavericks, because even if they lose, the total score is 1:3, and they will not be eliminated directly.

Even if the probability of being a villain is very low, it doesn't mean it's impossible.

But for the team coach Nelson, this may really be a last stand!

If the joy of winning G1 was enough for him to open a glass of champagne to celebrate, then losing G3 now, he will once again fall into the same decline as before.

Unfortunately, that evening, the Mavericks had just finished training, and when Old Nelson brought two assistant coaches to a famous local restaurant in Sacramento for dinner, he was greeted by

It was Chris Webber and some of his teammates who met.

When the old man met, the two just glanced at each other and passed by without saying anything.

At this moment, Weber's teammates suddenly booed: "Look, isn't this Legendary coach Don Nelson?

Put him in confinement, tsk tsk, there is such a thing, NBA teams are not the army, can they punish players like this?"

In one sentence, it brought back the pain of the two people back then.

What was supposed to pass by, turned into Weber smiling and saying hello: "Coach Downey, it's a pleasure to meet you here again, and we haven't seen each other for many years."

Well, as the host, I should treat you to a drink, but there will be a game tomorrow, and I have to keep in good shape, so I will treat you to a meal instead, and when the game is over, we must have a good drink

cup. "

Everyone knows that Chris Webber is not smiling.

Especially those teammates of the Kings, they have heard Webber mention more than once how old Nelson forced him to play a position he didn't like, and after he resisted, he was treated badly

Treats, and with Nelson Sr., and the reason why the Braves really fell out!

So now Webb hits the Mavericks!

Such a foresight by chance today, his teammates opened their mouths to ridicule.

*****

In this regard, the old Nelson also responded with a smile: "Chris, you are right, we haven't seen each other for many years, we really should have a drink... It's really not appropriate now, but I think

That day isn't too far away. "

Weber finally stopped laughing, and said with a stern face: "Coach Downey, we will eliminate you 4:1 again, that night in Dallas, I just hope you will

Still in the mood to have a glass of wine!"

Old Nelson smiled brighter and brighter: "Really? Chris, you are so confident? I think that when I buy you a drink, you will indeed be in Dallas, but the winner may not be

It's you. "

"Then, let's wait and see!"

Obviously, Weber still has grievances to this day.

After leaving the restaurant and walking on the avenue in Sacramento at dusk, Old Nelson lit a cigar.

Looking back on the past, some of my actions back then were indeed too radical.

But isn't it good for the coach to be strict with the players?

Isn't the thing that Chris Webber hated to snort back then that helped him reach the top and become famous in the league today?

Old Nelson really couldn't figure out why the kid back then hated himself so much today!

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. For old Nelson, the word has already been put out. If the Mavericks are really eliminated, he will become a laughing stock.

Therefore, each of the next games will be a last stand. .
