Chapter 160: Deep Talk (I)

Sam didn't seem to care about Kyle's request, but Kyle couldn't do it, so he could only let it go. Obviously! As a rookie, the head coach automatically ignores his advice. Although Sam has established Kyle's core, these are two different things, and Kyle's presence is really insufficient.

After back-to-back, Jay's body is a little delaminated, and fatigue is coming, and he still wants to find some balance on Kyle, which is a pity! Kyle let him down. As a rookie, it is really amazing that Kyle has experienced such a high-intensity game all of a sudden, with an average playing time of more than 35 minutes per game, and such a dense schedule.

But the Dallas Mavericks won't wait for you to take a break, and at 6 p.m., the Raptors will challenge a tough opponent again.

The Dallas Mavericks have been a powerhouse in the West since the new century, and this year they are even more powerful, with a current record of 11 wins and 2 losses, but because of the division, they were overwhelmed by the San Antonio Spurs and could only settle for fourth, but no one will underestimate them.

The reason why they have been so successful is that, apart from the power of their core Dirk Nowitzki, their boss is arguably absolutely crucial. In January 2000, it was cold, and the Mavericks had an even colder record, with a 9-22 record. At that time, they were the laughing stock of the entire North American sports world, and many late-night talk shows used them as the subject of making jokes. On the night of the team's crushing defeat on the Denver Plateau, Mark Cuban bought the team. The following season, they went on a high flight to reach the playoffs for the first time in 11 years, and they have not missed the playoffs so far.

NBA team owners generally don't watch their teams play very often, and even when they have home games, they tend to watch them in luxury boxes isolated from the hustle and bustle. Compared to these owners, Cuban is a big Mavericks fan: he will sit on the sidelines and watch the game with a big expression in a short T with the team crest printed on it; He will not be unforgiving to the referee after a player has been unfairly punished; He'll shout and scream like a kid when the team wins, and he'll fly to the scene on his own private jet to refuel when the team is away from home...... The reason why Cuban on the sidelines can become the focus of the media is not only because of his identity as the owner of the team, but also because he is a serious player for the Mavericks. Cuban has been fined several times by the league for wanting to have the freedom of speech to lash out against the sanctions, despite David Stern's efforts to protect the league's image. But it still can't stop the great boss from being complacent.

Before the game, Cuban actually spoke for Kyle, and he said something like this, "I have a lot of admiration for Kyle, his game is great, people always use different size standards, that's why Kyle is criticized." But what happens on the field, who knows what's going to happen? Every player goes through their lows, so there's no fuss about it, and I'm sure Kyle can adjust and he's got the quality. ”

Is this a character building? Kyle thinks so, and the game has proven it.

The Mavericks' characteristics also belong to the run-and-shoot, but unlike the Suns, who are started by Nash, they are more of a separate hit, or an overall run-and-shoot. Looking at their assists, they are averaging 18 assists per game, which is the average in the league, but what is even more surprising is that none of them have more than 4 assists, only Jason Terry's 3.5 assists and pure point guard Devin Harris has 3.2 assists. This shows a problem, they know how to run their chances, and everyone is very selfless and will share the ball in their hands.

The Raptors fell behind from the first shot of the first quarter and failed to return to the sun until the end of the game, never leading, and always falling behind.

Kyle was lost again under the Mavericks' 2-3 defense, couldn't break in, and could only shoot outside in waves. When the score fell behind by 18 points in the third quarter, he still tried to pass the ball to his teammates more and cut it himself. At the beginning, my teammates were all fluted! Kyle: What is this for? Dribble the ball past half court and run away? The teammates are very unaccustomed to it, and they fall into a solo fight, and in the end, it is Kyle who calls on his teammates to run, and the effect is slowly revealed. When the ball is stopped, blocked or time is running out, Kyle runs to pick up the re-organization or forced the shot, he takes the pot steadily, and then carries it on his back, since he has chosen to change, there must be a change of attitude!

The score slowly chased up, from rusty to fluent, empty cut and outside shooting, and the power of the twin towers, the Raptors finally tore apart the Mavericks' defense, and everyone regained their lost fighting spirit. With five minutes to go, Peterson's three-pointer helped the Raptors cut the deficit to five points, and the fire of victory was rekindled. But unfortunately, Nowitzki did not agree, and he hit three shots in a row, and scored 9 points with free throws, and the difference came to double digits again. Immediately after Terry came, after hitting a three-pointer, there was also a mid-range, and the Raptors' little bit of momentum was cut off.

It's all over, the two cores of the Mavericks stepped up at a critical moment, what about the Raptors? Kyle provided two assists, Bosh scored a goal and then there was no more. The Mavericks defeated the Raptors 110-97 at home, adding a victory.

Nowitzki's 31 points and 11 rebounds have transformed him into a superstar this season, at least in terms of stats and record. Jason Terry, the second leader of the Mavericks, 18 points and 5 assists, has completed his task, Josh Howard scored 20 points and 7 rebounds, Stackhouse, as a former All-Star, he still has the strength, playing as a substitute in the Mavericks is indeed a big grievance, playing 25 minutes and scoring 13 points, which is quite good. Devin Harris also scored 10 points off the bench, and the speedy little man blew Calderon out of the box.

The highest scorer on the Raptors' side is Jamal, 25 points and 10 rebounds, tonight, he regained the feeling of being an All-Star back then, 11 of 18 shots, he couldn't be more accurate, and the chasing period was up to him, if it wasn't for Jamal's excellent play, it is estimated that the Raptors would have been in pieces.

Bosh also scored 21 points and 8 rebounds, which complemented Jamal perfectly, and the power of the twin towers was shown for the first time, but it failed to bring victory to the team, which is a pity! The two of them could only lament in their hearts, we did our best! It's really a scumbag of teammates.

In fact, there is another person who performed well, and that is Peterson, who scored 18 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and overfulfilled the task.

So who's dragging its feet? People will all look at each other, yes! It's Kyle. Kyle scored 11 points, 7 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 turnover, and 3 fouls. But look at his hits, 3 of 12 shots, it's a bit bleak. But for a rookie, it's really good, enough to be satisfying.

If he had to force the pot, then Kyle would have to continue. If you want to blame him, the first five games of the opening game are really rebellious, with an average of 25+8+5+3+ data per game, which can not only be described as a mouthful, it is simply a hanging bomb! Five wins in five battles, coupled with this data, people who don't know really think Kyle is a supergiant! Looking at his last two games now, the gap is so big that he doesn't dare to look at it directly. Forced Ge fell directly from the top of the nine heavens to the mortal dust of the world, and lost, it can only be that Kyle did not do well enough.

It's true, if Kyle stays strong, then victory should remain in suspense, but nothing ifs.

In the eyes of other fans, this is the true level of Kyle, those were all illusions before, and under the verification of the two giants in the southwest region, Kyle showed his little tail and revealed his original form. He's also lost the favor of the media and the popularity of New Yorkers, the other managers finally let go, McCloskey's phone is no longer busy, and Kyle's market price has hit rock bottom. But there are exceptions, including Thomas, who is still relentless, saying that his words are still valid and that he is willing to trade Marbury and this year's No. 8 pick Frye for another draft pick in exchange for Kyle and two garbage contracts.

At that time, the reason why McCloskey wanted to sell Kyle was indeed afraid of Kyle's water, and other people's prices were too tempting, but Kyle's water couldn't be better than these two games, right? The two worst games can still see Kyle's bright spots, which shows that Kyle does have the strength to become a star, anyway, it is a notch higher than the rookies of the same class. In addition, he once publicly stated that Kyle is not for sale, and the words released may not be credible, but the words of the boss Timothy are still credible, and the CEO has said that Kyle will become the core of the team. McCloskey knew that it must have been Sam who skipped him and appealed directly.

Now he can only categorically reject Thomas's request for a trade. It's not how much he loves this little fat man, but the boss's core idea is greater than the sky. Moreover, it does take patience to cultivate a star, and since the top management has decided to keep Kyle as the core, it is to be ready to gamble, and if you shout stud now, you will never win. He, the helmsman of the team, can only take the steering wheel and honk the horn.

Sam finds Kyle again after the game, and the old man thinks it's time to talk to his trump card.

"You were a little hesitant in today's game! Kyle! You know? You're our hope, you're the absolute heart of us and we need you to do more and better, not pass the ball. Sam came up to make it clear that the team is sure of Kyle as the core, and at the same time criticized Kyle's performance today, Kyle's split position and open cut is not what Sam wants to see, he prefers Kyle to attack with the ball or be alone. Because throughout the NBA league, superstars are the absolute masters of the ball, and the person with the highest ball usage rate is even a shooter like Ray Allen, let alone Kyle as a point guard. Only the leftovers will run the empty cut.
