Chapter 759: I Know I Was Wrong, but I Just Won’t Change It!

"The Mavericks' pick-and-roll tactics are too strong!"

"Aflalo is so comprehensive!"

After the first quarter of the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Dallas Mavericks, these two were the two that left the deepest impression on people.

The Dallas Mavericks' starting five are all capable of attacking on the court.

In addition to Kwame Brown, Nowitzki, Josh Howard, Afflalo and Monta Alice even have very good singles abilities.

This kind of team is really suitable for pick-and-roll tactics.

Maybe the Mavericks have an offensive tactical system that makes them stronger, but until they can't find this tactical system, the pick-and-roll tactic is the most suitable tactic for this team.

When Afflalo and the rest of the Mavericks run pick-and-rolls, Seattle is really, really hard to defend.

Afflalo is indeed inferior to yes one on one.

But his comprehensiveness on the court allows him to play a huge role even if he is not one-on-one with yes on the court.

Not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end, Afflalo is the leader on the outside.

With the Seattle SuperSonics only having Yes as a player with strong offensive ability on the perimeter, as long as Afflalo can defend head-on and others help defend against double teams, Yes' offense will not be that easy.

In the NBA, it's not that easy to double-team yes!

Like the Magic, their outside players can't double-team even if they want to.

Yes is not only offensive with the ball, but also without the ball. If you want to defend him and double-team him, the team needs at least one player who is good at defending with the ball. A player who is good at defending without the ball can follow Yes a little bit.

And Afflalo, one person can do all the work of off-ball defense and on-ball defense!

In this case, after yes was contracted by Afflalo, the defensive loophole Monta Alice can be put on the court by the Mavericks, without having to worry about being taken care of by yes.

Moreover, Afflalo is not one-on-one on the offensive end. His contribution to the Mavericks on the offensive end may not even be passing and organization, but his off-ball movement that forces Yes's defense when attacking without the ball. Come on, let yes not have much influence on the defensive end.

Create a lot of opportunities for other Seattle SuperSonics players to attack.

Without Yes and Afflalo, the other four players of the Mavericks competed with the four players of the SuperSonics. The four players of the Mavericks were at an absolute disadvantage.

At the very least, Ibaka is not easy to solve.

Mavericks players are not Spurs players and have no singles ability. With Ibaka's current situation on the defensive end, whether he faces Nowitzki, Josh Howard or Monta Alice, Ibaka will be beaten. Enough.

It can be said that in the first quarter of the game, the Seattle SuperSonics trailed the Mavericks by 10 points 24-34 on the road. It even gave Barkley and a lot of coconut fans or Sonics fans a feeling that the Seattle SuperSonics had a collision in the first quarter.

Just what the Mavericks and Seattle showed on the court in the first quarter of this game.

Regardless of whether they were playing tactics or one-on-one, the Seattle SuperSonics had a situation where the Mavericks had no choice on the defensive end. In the first quarter of this game, if the SuperSonics players did not try their best defensively, although Yes had few shots , the offensive efficiency is indeed very high. In the first quarter of this game, the Seattle SuperSonics may lose even more.

After the first quarter of the game, as the head coach of the SuperSonics, Nelson was quite helpless.

The Mavericks are indeed completely different from the Mavericks that were defeated by yes in the previous two seasons.

This Mavericks team is not perfect on the defensive end, forward line and back line, but on the offensive end, it is really getting closer to perfection!

The Mavericks' defensive holes at the back and forwards are precisely the points that the Seattle SuperSonics can't catch right now.

Looking at Ibaka coming off the court, standing on the left of yes, and Rondo standing on the right of yes, Old Nelson had no choice.

These two people really can't use their singles to free up the defense for yes.

At this time, he really missed Durant.

No matter how well Durant recovers from this serious injury, no matter whether he has the physical talent before, no matter whether he is in competitive shape after not playing for a year, at least when Durant is on the court, he really dares to throw it. !

It's good to throw it in, but if you can't throw it in, it's also good to scare the calf.

After the first quarter of the game, Nelson finally understood that the Mavericks' starting lineup really restrained the Sonics' starting lineup, just like the Grizzlies' starting lineup, it restrained the Sonics' starting lineup!

It's just that the Mavericks and Grizzlies have different ways of restraining the Seattle SuperSonics. One is from the outside and the other is from the inside.

Facing such a team that restrains itself, if you want to defeat this team, there is no way to use the starting lineup. You can only make some efforts on the substitute lineup.

The Seattle SuperSonics' bench is still better than the Mavericks' bench.

Barea, Harden, Quentin Richardson, Wilkins, Gasol...

Nelson is still looking forward to this almost all-offensive starting lineup.

but……

One minute into the second quarter, Nelson gave up such expectations.

"Jason Terry's game is so awesome!"

During the six-minute rotation in the second quarter, these substitute players from the Seattle SuperSonics also played very well.

It should even be said that he performed beyond his level.

He scored 16 points in half a quarter, which is already very good.

But when Yeas took the field again with the Seattle SuperSonics starting players, the score between the two teams on the court did not get closer, but was separated by two points.

The Seattle SuperSonics' bench scored 16 points, and Jason Terry scored 14 points on the bench alone!

"The gap between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Dallas Mavericks with Ibaka is too huge!"

In the last attack of the second quarter, watching Nowitzki easily deceive Ibaka at the buzzer, and hit 2+1 under Ibaka's defense, Barkley only had four words in his heart, that was terrible!

Not only is Ibaka miserable, but the Seattle SuperSonics are also miserable!

At halftime, the Seattle SuperSonics trailed the Dallas Mavericks by 16 points, 52-68!

After the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Spurs in the last game, many coconut fans and SuperSonics fans are looking forward to this game with the Mavericks.

After all, since being swept by the SuperSonics, the Mavericks have truly transformed into the SuperSonics when facing the Seattle SuperSonics.

Although the Mavericks are much stronger than the SuperSonics this season, given the situation between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks, the results are really likely to be reversed!

But, I really didn’t expect that the final result would be like this!

After the half-time match between the SuperSonics and the Mavericks, the situation on the court for the two teams remained unchanged.

As long as Ibaka remains on the court, the situation of the two teams is unlikely to change much.

Looking at the Dallas Mavericks No. 10 Afflalo on the court who can always inspire the morale of the entire team, Barkley really has an incredible feeling.

"If Afflalo was in the Mavericks three years ago, the Mavericks that season would definitely be one of the strongest teams in history, and the Mavericks that season would definitely be the champion that year!"

"The Dallas Mavericks have found another backbone of the team!"

"I don't know if the Mavericks can defeat the Spurs and Heat this season and get first place in the league, but I know that the Mavericks this season are stronger than ever!"

Kenny Smith still agrees with Barkley's words.

He even felt that Barkley's words really gave Nowitzki too much face.

If he said it, he would say that the Mavericks finally found their boss!

Although Nowitzki is unqualified as a boss, the weakest boss in history, and the weakest coward in history, as a second boss, he is indeed excellent.

but……

No matter how good the Mavericks are, they are not as good as the James and Heat he supports!

No matter how good Nowitzki is as the second-in-command, can he be as good as Wade of the Heat?

Not to mention Wade, can Nowitzki suppress the Heat's third boss Bosh?

As a Heat supporter, it is really an incredible experience to watch these teams in the Western Conference win an opportunity to go to the Heat and be tortured by the Heat this season.

The Seattle SuperSonics actually really want to win this game.

But whether it was Yees or Nelson, when they were looking for loopholes in the Mavericks and breaking them, the loopholes they finally found were all filled by Afflalo.

After the third quarter, the score between the two teams became 78 to 100, and the score between the two teams had reached 22 points.

At the end of the third quarter, after Yes and the starting players came off the field, there was no chance to play again.

Because at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Jason Terry ruined the game.

In the final result, the Seattle SuperSonics lost to the Dallas Mavericks by 27 points with a score of 103 to 130 on the road.

The 27-point loss in this game is considered one of the Seattle SuperSonics' biggest losses this season.

After the game, as the head coach of the Seattle SuperSonics and the former head coach of the Mavericks, Nelson was full of praise for Afflalo's performance in this game.

"Although I don't want to say who is second in yes, but in this game, Afflalo really made me feel like I was against yes."

"No matter what I do, yes will always use other methods to crack it. This feeling is so desperate."

After Nelson said these words with a smile, the reporter at the press conference provocatively asked Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle for his opinion.

"Thank you Mr. Nelson for your praise of Aaron. Being able to compare with Yes is the greatest honor for any player in the NBA. However, Aaron is Aaron. He is not the second Yes. He is the never-extinguishing flame of the Dallas Mavericks. .”

"Rick, can you bear to let this eternal flame, yes second, be the second in charge of a team?"

It was really embarrassing to hear the reporter below ask Rick Carlisle like this.

Everything is good for the Mavericks this season, but this big question is really hard to answer...

So far in the team's regular season, Afflalo is indeed more like the boss than Dirk.

Dirk has also been working hard to cooperate with Afflalo.

Dirk's selflessness really moved him.

It can be seen that Dirk is willing to assist Afflalo.

However, Afflalo himself has no idea of ​​being the boss!

Of course, Afflalo is willing to be the boss, Dirk is also willing to give up, and Cuban is not willing to give up, right?

The Mavericks' victory over the SuperSonics allowed the Mavericks to break the curse of the past two years. It also greatly increased Afflalo's popularity both in Dallas and in the league, and truly became the darling of the city of Dallas.

"Dirk, is there really no problem with this?"

Jason Terry was a little worried.

"No problem, no problem."

The smile on Nowitzki's face was hearty.

What Aaron is going through now, he has already gone through.

Now, what he pursues is completely different.

"Ahem..."

Having a cold is as powerless as facing yes...

Of course, now that we have Aaron, we are no longer so powerless in the face of yes.

In three consecutive games in the Southwest, the Seattle SuperSonics achieved a record of 1 win and 2 losses.

Although this record does not look that good.

But in the powerful Southwest Division, facing the three strongest teams in the Southwest Division this season, they achieved a record of 1 win and 2 losses. This record is enough for the Seattle SuperSonics to firmly occupy the eighth position in the Western Conference after this devilish schedule. .

After the game against the Mavericks, the Seattle SuperSonics, now 15-10, and the Timberwolves, 14-10, are ranked eighth and ninth in the West respectively.

After the Timberwolves defeated the Kings on December 15, the Timberwolves, who also had 15 wins and 10 losses, still fell behind the Seattle SuperSonics and ranked ninth due to their divisional record.

On December 16, 2008, the Seattle SuperSonics returned to their home court after three consecutive trips to the Southwest to face the Clippers, who were led by the first three young players.

After the last time the two teams met, this time they met again, Ye Si could clearly feel that Westbrook and DeAndre Jordan were holding their breath.

Of course, because the two of them cheated Nick Young in their last confrontation, the two of them consciously restrained their strengths in this game.

but……

They want to restrain their sharp edges, fearing that their sharp edges will hurt Nick Young again.

But how could Ye Si let them put away their edge easily?

Especially Westbrook, he knows this kid too well.

As long as you dare to give him sunshine, he can really shine!

As long as you dare to give him space, he will really dare to throw it!

Even if the last one was a no-nonsense person, the next one he would still dare to throw away a no-nonsense rule!

I don’t know if I learned this stubbornness from that guy Afflalo, but Afflalo’s stubbornness has obviously been smoothed out by three years of failure in the NCAA...

In the end, with the help of Westbrook, the Seattle SuperSonics easily defeated the Clippers 118-105 at home.

"Teacher, I almost want to compete with Russell for the ball in this game!"

"Now I finally understand how far we have to go, but I believe that we will definitely reach the end in the future!"

Nick Young has confidence in both Russell Westbrook and DeAndre Jordan.

only……

Ye Si looked at the turtle boy not far away...

That was a stubborn look in my eyes that I knew was wrong but just wouldn’t change...
