Chapter 1,059 The Shocking Nowitzki!
"It's hard to imagine that an amateur coach like me would cause such a big stir when I came to coach in the NBA."
"However, I know the reason for this very well. I think compared to me, you must hope that the person sitting here to accept your questions is my mentor, Master Romar."
"However, everyone knows that Master Romar is a saint. In his eyes, there is only basketball. He will not be tempted by any prosperity and money. But I am a layman, and Mr. West's invitation is very tempting. , I can get a higher salary here, and there are also many familiar and outstanding players here. It is a perfect working environment."
"I also know that my predecessor Mark has done a great job here. He has received a lot of respect here. Players and fans can't bear to leave him. He is an excellent coach and a great partner. However, I will try my best to shoulder my responsibility." The flag he left behind made everyone here recognize me as they recognized Mark.”
"Compared to my mentor, Master Romar, my abilities are not one-tenth of his. If my mentor was willing to accept Mr. West's invitation, I don't think it would cause such a big controversy. However, since Wei Mr. West finally believed in me, and my mentor finally recommended me. No matter how incompetent I am, I dare not betray the trust of my mentor and Mr. West.”
"So, I hope that the world can see a completely different Golden State Warriors next season."
Former University of Washington assistant coach Steve Kerr moves to the Golden State Warriors. This incident has a huge impact. After all, the most anticipated thing in the national basketball community is that Master Romar moves to the NBA and brings his basketball philosophy to the NBA. It worked.
But Master Romar regards money as dirt, and even gave up the Los Angeles Lakers' four-year, US$100 million invitation. It is rumored that this time West made a desperate move to invite Master Romar, and the offer he gave was even more crazy.
Not only will there be monetary rewards, the Warriors will even promise to retire Romar's No. 18 jersey as a player for the Warriors in the future.
Romar is the strongest head coach in American history, but how can he get his jersey retired for his achievements with the Warriors?
Romar was at best an ordinary rotation player in the Warriors.
However, with Romar's current status in the United States, no one will object to the Warriors retiring his jersey.
But in the end, he was rejected by Master Romar.
However, when Master Romar rejected West this time, he felt that West was indeed sincere, and he also felt that he was also a legend of the Warriors, which was different from when he rejected the Lakers.
So rejection is rejection.
But Cole was also recommended to Jerry West.
"Steve is a very good coach. If Mr. West wants to establish a tactical system like the University of Washington in Golden State, Steve is a good choice."
These were Master Romar's exact words as West announced that Kerr would become the Warriors' head coach.
The meaning is obvious, Master Romar endorsed Cole, a rookie coach.
Cole was appointed by Master Romar as the disciple who had obtained his true inheritance, rather than an ordinary disciple in name.
And this is why Cole, a rookie coach, can cause such a big disturbance.
"Can Master Romar's tactics be successful in the NBA?"
"Although Master Romar did not come to prove it, Master Romar asked Cole to prove it!"
"If Cole, who claims to have one-tenth of the true inheritance of Master Romar, can succeed in the NBA, Master Romar will naturally be able to succeed in the NBA too!"
"Although Cole is a rookie head coach, after Master Romar is willing to use his identity and status to endorse Cole, Cole is now Master Romar's alter ego in the NBA!"
There really isn't much to a rookie head coach.
But Master Romar's alter ego in the NBA is different.
And this is why Cole was so moved by Master Romar.
In the NBA, the status of coaches is inherently low.
How high can a rookie head coach's status be?
Master Romar endorsed him with his own status and reputation. Although it put a lot of pressure on him and carried the identity of Master Romar's true biography and clone on his back, it also gave him a very great status. In the end, At least, when he comes to the Warriors, West will take into account Master Romar's status and will not interfere too much in his team management. The other Warriors players will also be more obedient. Even if they don't want to be obedient in their hearts, they will obey on the surface. .
This is very important for him to implement the University of Washington's tactical system in the Warriors.
The entire American basketball community is excited about Master Romar's avatar entering the NBA. They are looking forward to what Steve Kerr will do with the Warriors next season as Master Romar's avatar. At that time, the second round of the NBA playoffs was ready to begin.
In fact, the second round of the playoffs in the Eastern Conference has already started on April 30.
All four first-round games in the Eastern Conference were swept, 4-0, so the start of the second round in the Eastern Conference was very early.
Although the Seattle SuperSonics are also opponents swept 4-0, they need to wait for the winner of the Mavericks and Timberwolves.
The Mavericks and Timberwolves played seven games in this playoff round.
It ended with the Mavericks winning.
Therefore, the Seattle SuperSonics' opponent in this year's Western Conference semifinals is still the Dallas Mavericks. Last season, the Seattle SuperSonics' opponent in the Western Conference semifinals was also the Dallas Mavericks.
For the opponents of the Dallas Mavericks and Nowitzki, even a year later, when thinking back to last season's Western Conference semifinals, the SuperSonics are still trembling.
Last year, Nowitzki did a lot of harm to the Seattle SuperSonics players.
Even though the current Seattle SuperSonics are completely different from last season's Seattle SuperSonics, the players' strength has improved tremendously.
But psychological shadow is not so easy to forget.
I'm definitely not afraid of that, and it's impossible to be afraid of fighting. Even when I see Nowitzki and that No. 41 of the Dallas Mavericks, I don't panic.
There is always a feeling that this old man is going to cause trouble during the game.
The first game of the Western Conference semifinals between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Dallas Mavericks started on May 4, which was almost 10 days after the Seattle SuperSonics eliminated the Thunder.
In addition, the Seattle SuperSonics just completed their 82-game regular season winning streak, and they also made a clean sweep in the playoffs, becoming the only team in the Western Conference to sweep their opponents.
So whether it's in terms of morale or physical fitness, the Seattle SuperSonics are absolutely dominant.
Therefore, before the start of this round of conference semifinals between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Mavericks, the Seattle SuperSonics were almost overwhelmingly optimistic.
No way, the Dallas Mavericks eliminated the Timberwolves on May 1, and the Timberwolves and the Mavericks almost played to the end.
After the first round of this season, the Mavericks were indeed beaten by the Timberwolves.
The Mavericks are originally the weakest among the top four in the Western Conference, and they played so miserably in the first round. The core players of this team, Nowitzki, Kidd and Marion, are not too young. .
Therefore, there is no way for this calf not to be looked down upon.
What's more, although Nowitzki has been cleared, these media experts have not truly realized the power of Nowitzki like the Seattle SuperSonics players.
As a result, when many experts are predicting this series, most people even think that the Seattle SuperSonics will sweep it. Maybe the Seattle SuperSonics will increase their winning streak this season to an unprecedented 90 games!
If the Seattle SuperSonics can really increase their winning streak this season to 90 games, this will indeed be a huge milestone for the NBA.
On May 4, 2010, at the Seattle Key Arena, the conference semifinals between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Dallas Mavericks gathered together, including Yi Jianlian, Gay, Beasley, and Curry who were eliminated in the first round. Even Anthony, who was eliminated by the Lakers, came here with Nuggets players.
This does not include the Celtics players led by David Lee in the East and so on.
The Seattle SuperSonics are still undefeated this season.
As long as the Seattle SuperSonics haven't lost, the miracle of the Seattle SuperSonics this season will continue.
As long as this miracle continues.
So every game for the Seattle SuperSonics is making history.
Therefore, let alone NBA players, even NBA Commissioner David Stern is still present at the Seattle SuperSonics every game.
Of course, this also includes the owners of the Sonics, Bill Gates and his family, etc.
So, the atmosphere in Key Arena right now is really exciting.
"As long as the Seattle SuperSonics can keep winning, the atmosphere at Key Arena will continue to be exciting until it reaches its climax in the finals!"
It's the Seattle SuperSonics again, it's KeyArena again, it's Yes again.
Facing Nowitzki and the Mavericks, the Seattle SuperSonics players were under a lot of pressure.
Facing the Seattle SuperSonics and Chicago, the Mavericks are also under great pressure.
Looking at the crazy Sonics fans around him, Nowitzki sighed slightly.
This season, the Dallas Mavericks were swept 4-0 by the Seattle SuperSonics in the regular season. He performed very well in all four games.
But the team just couldn't beat the Sonics.
Although the Sonics players still can't guard him this season, the difference from last season's playoffs is that these young Sonics players are no longer so panicked when facing him.
If you can't guard against him, you just can't guard against him. You won't panic and lose your fighting spirit because you can't guard against him.
This is different from the Timberwolves.
The reason why the Timberwolves were eliminated was because this group of young wolves played six games. In the last game, they couldn't hold on, their mentality changed, and they finally collapsed.
Therefore, for him and the Dallas Mavericks to win this series, they need some luck and strength.
In the warm atmosphere of Key Arena, the starting players of the Seattle SuperSonics and Dallas Mavericks stood in the center circle after warming up and prepared for a jump ball.
The Seattle SuperSonics' starting lineup for this game is still the regular starting lineup of Milicic, Millsap, Durant, Leafs and Rondo.
For the Dallas Mavericks, they have Kwame Brown, Nowitzki, Marion, Afflalo and Kidd.
The Dallas Mavericks' starting lineup is very strong.
Although among the four super teams, the Dallas Mavericks are considered the weakest.
But Nelson will not treat this team as the weakest team.
The reason why the media treats this team as the weakest is because after Kidd was criticized by Rondo, the veteran was considered just an ordinary role player who could only pass the ball.
Nelson has watched a lot of videos of the Mavericks this season, and he has never regarded Kidd as just an ordinary role player for the Mavericks.
The Dallas Mavericks are also a starting lineup with five All-Star players!
Kwame Brown, the center who beat Milicic with a jump ball on the court, although he is still not good at offense, he can get to the basket and shoot. Coupled with his super talent and defense, this is an absolute All-Star level center players, that is, in the West and East, can definitely make the All-Stars.
After Kwame Brown successfully jumped the ball, he did not hand the ball to Afflalo like last season.
Afflalo assumed the team's organizational tasks last season, allowing him to hold the ball more. Although Afflalo is a rare hexagonal tactic in the NBA, Afflalo is definitely the weakest with the ball. Afflalo.
Afflalo holding the ball means that he has to give up many of his characteristics without the ball. It is also very difficult for him to hold the ball one-on-one to defeat the Leafs' defense, and it is not beneficial to the Mavericks' offense.
If Afflalo is left without the ball, even if Afflalo is not attacking, he can still pull out Yes. In the entire Sonics starting lineup, only Yes can defend Afflalo. He can defend without the ball, and he can also defend with the ball. Defense, if Rondo is used to defend Afflalo, there is no problem without the ball, but with the ball, Rondo cannot guard Afflalo. As long as Rondo defends Afflalo, Kidd can immediately take down Afflalo. Lalo went from not having the ball to having the ball.
That's Kidd's role.
With Kidd, the Mavericks can use Afflalo and Yesteiko on offense.
Ye Si's strong defense ability on the defensive end will be largely eliminated.
Nowitzki, Kwame Brown, Kidd, Marion and Milicic, Millsap, Durant, Rondo partial four-on-four.
The Sonics are difficult to defend.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
On the first offense of the game, after Nowitzki pulled Millsap out, Kidd used Marion's screen to break into the paint, threw the ball and completed an alley-oop with Kwame Brown.
Milicic was played by Kidd.
2 to 0!
The Dallas Mavericks scored in the opening game.
"This Mavericks offense..."
Whether it's pulling out Yease and Millsap, two of the Sonics' strongest defensive players now.
Or using Kidd to play with the already fat Milicic, both prove that Rick Carlisle and the Mavericks are well prepared!
"This series is not as simple as those people think."
Old Nelson smiled inwardly.
Of course, Rick Carlisle came prepared, and of course he came prepared.
Nelson looked at Ye Si on the court.
And Yeas never took his eyes away from Nowitzki after the game started.
71…70…73…68…74…
36…35…28…37…19…
This feeling...
Very strange.
The feel is high when attacking and low when defending?
Nowitzki's change in touch shocked Ye Si, who had seen Rondo's change in touch.
This is simply a perfect feel distribution!
