Chapter 114 - Horn Knife

There are many ways to fail the finals, but the most tragic one must be successfully reversed by the opponent.▲:▲Piaotianwen.com▲

Leading two games backed by the opponent and winning four consecutive games, it is estimated that the Mavericks' head coach Avery Johnson must have a very deep memory of such a failure.

Otherwise, this guy wouldn't have called for the team before the start of the new season, and he would definitely make it to the finals again so that he could get back all the honors he lost last year!

However, in the first four games of the regular season, the Mavericks were stomped in shifts by the Spurs, Rockets, Warriors and Clippers.

Especially in the Texas Civil War, the first thing was that he was beaten by the Spurs at home, and then he met the Rockets, who had been competing, and he was even more defeated by his opponent by 31 points.

It also made the Rockets avenge the old revenge that was reversed in the 2005 season, but losing two consecutive games at home also increased the pressure on Avery Johnson.

Losing to these two teams who can enter the playoffs steadily in the Western Conference may also make an excuse to say it was an adjustment period and did not recover from the vacation state.

But losing to the Warriors later was enough to embarrass Cuban on the sidelines. He was the one who won the old Nelson.

As a result, now Old Nelson has brought the Golden State Warriors to make another counterattack, and Avery Johnson, the younger generation, has become a supporting role.

This is the second time that Cuban has been counterattacked strongly. The last time it was Nash's performance, and he found a wild boss with a big mouth.

This time it was Old Nelson who used his best running and bombing tactics to take away the victory in front of Cuban, especially in the last two minutes of the game.

Avery Johnson's on-the-spot command ability seems so immature in the face of Old Nelson's scheming.

In the last two minutes, the Mavericks were actually five points ahead, but they were taken away by the Warriors with eight points!

The last two offensive tactics arranged by Avery Johnson were destroyed by the Warriors, and Old Nelson seemed to be able to guess every plan he had.

As for losing 18 points to the Clippers, it was a tragedy. The Mavericks' shooting percentage was only 38% and the three-pointers were only 26%. How can there be no one to lose?

Many people began to promote a remark when the Mavericks lost four consecutive times at the beginning, that is, these cowboys have been completely defeated by the failure of the finals.

"Dallasians should never hope to win the championship. Look at their mental state. It is a miracle to enter the playoffs this season!" This is the article written by the media that is not optimistic about them.

Avery Johnson does not have the big heart like **Vic, nor does D'Antoni's exquisite tactics, but this guy still firmly grasps the lifeblood of the Mavericks at this moment of collapse.

Just like this guy didn't make it to the NBA through the draft and even had 16 years, when everyone thought the Mavericks had collapsed, Avery Johnson came back with the cowboys.

The four-game losing streak started, and then the Mavericks suddenly made a 180-degree turn. After winning the Phoenix Suns 119:112 away, they directly fought back with a seven-game winning streak.

The Trail Blazers, Bulls, Grizzlies, Bobcats, Spurs, Hornets, Wizards, all of these seven teams became the dead souls of the Mavericks.

The horns of the mad bulls were covered with the blood of the Western powers. Even the Spurs did not stop the strong counterattack of this old Texas neighbor.

The Mavericks also won a game back in the Texas Civil War. Although the final score difference was only 3 points, the Mavericks did not give the Spurs another chance to lead from the beginning of the fourth quarter.

With this strict control ability, it was completely beyond the expectations of many people, especially the Spurs, who were a little uncomfortable with the sudden outbreak of the Mavericks.

**Vic also commented after the game, "The Mavericks have recently shown the strength of the team in the finals. It has become difficult to beat them, and they are becoming stronger."

With such a pertinent comment, the media that ignored the Mavericks began to change their tone.

The group of reporters who were hindsighted by Zhuge Liang and pigs began to re-promote the Mavericks to enter the finals again.

Dallas people will definitely not pay attention to those evaluations. After the collapse of the finals, these guys have become a little bachelor, at least they won’t become annoyed by some people’s nonsense.

The Celtics are now facing such a murderous team. The Celtics are looking for opportunities to rise again, but his opponent is planning to win the championship.

However, what made Rivers scratch his head was not the recent crazy state of the Mavericks, but the team that has been baptized in the finals, is far stronger than the Celtics in some aspects.

And now both Thibodeau and Rivers are worried about how to curb the Mavericks' offense. The group of crazy bulls, who have only scored more than 100 in the last seven games.

Even the defensive intensity of the Spurs can only barely limit the Mavericks' scoring to 97 points.

"Even if that guy Old Nelson left, the things he left on the Mavericks have penetrated into the bones of those crazy bulls. Cuban's team will never lack offensive firepower."

Thibodeau has been quite sad recently because he found that every time the Celtics encounters a hard bone, it is a team that is good at offense.

Starting with the Suns, then the Warriors, isn't it like this?

"Doug, I believe that this must be the defensive system that God is testing me." Faced with such an offensive team that followed, Thibodeau could only smile bitterly.

Who said that you can win the championship by relying on defense now? Is this fucking offensive team specially prepared for the Celtics? That's a hell!

Rivers has to consider more than Thibodeau. He not only needs to pay attention to defensive issues, but also has a lot to think about in the team's offense.

Since Avery Johnson took over the team, in addition to trying to retain Old Nelson's offensive ability, he has created a new defensive tactic for the Mavericks.

What Rivers has to consider now is whether the inside line that he has been using very conveniently in the previous few games can continue to work on the Mavericks.

Although Danpier's ability to attack the second center in the West is negligible, Rivers did not forget that the Mavericks' sharpest horn knife was hung inside.

German Nowitzki, a superstar who can be inside and outside, let Jefferson and Chen Feng combine to meet this season's magic pitcher who has scored nearly 28 points per game. I don't know how sure it is. More importantly, Nowitzki's ability to restrain can consume how much energy the Celtics' inside line? Rivers can't give a specific answer to this point now.

"That kid is going to fight a difficult guy this time..." Seeing Nowitzki's gradual increase in hit rate in recent games, Rivers' heart was a little upset.

Can that wild boy compete with such a best power forward in the league? Perhaps it will influence the direction of the entire game.

A tricky and sharp horn knife hit a big, big-closed shank knife...

Perhaps this will be the first real fierce battle Chen Feng encountered.
