404. Things seem to be turned upside down! (The 5th is asking for a guaranteed monthly pass)
The Grizzlies were having a postgame meeting, and the Mavericks had a meeting as soon as they got back to the hotel, but it was a meeting with the coaching staff.
Coach Carlisle feels hopeful!
Tonight...... In fact, in terms of overall tactics, the Mavericks basically didn't play a tactic, that is, Nowitzki singled, attracting pinching, and even attracting the Grizzlies who were already messed up when they were stuck in the position before receiving the ball, and Kidd took the opportunity to connect other people's offenses and got 13 assists in a single game!
But coach Carlisle's tactics ...... Basically, he didn't play, and it all relied on Kidd's ability to control and play a team attack.
In other words, the game was won, regardless of tactics, and won by three points.
Nowitzki's outburst, Kidd's ability to control...... And most importantly, because of Nowitzki's outburst, the Mavericks' offense played completely differently than usual, and Kidd's tandem offense made the Grizzlies unguarded to beat the Grizzlies by 13 points.
Now is an opportunity for the Mavericks!
A chance to turn the tables!
But whether Nowitzki is really back to his pre-2007 playoff form is a question.
Even if Nowitzki does return to form, Nowitzki's delay in integrating into the team system for various reasons is also a big problem for the Mavericks.
You can't just point to Nowitzki's singles and Kidd as the coach on the court to deal with the offense, right?
That's too easy to target.
But...... The most important thing now is not whether Nowitzki can immediately integrate into the team system, but whether Nowitzki can really break the psychological barrier, which is a headache for the Grizzlies, and even more critical for the Mavericks.
After some discussion with the coaching staff, Coach Carlisle made a decision.
Use Nowitzki's performance tonight as an opportunity to help Nowitzki regain his playoff confidence!
Nowitzki's strength is completely fine, with four times in the past five years, one team and one second team, and this year's regular season performance is still the best among the league's power forwards.
It's just that there are psychological obstacles, Nowitzki has a good record in the past two years, with 50+ wins in two consecutive years, but lost early in the playoffs.
If Nowitzki can get rid of the psychological barrier, his style of play will be perfectly fine if he remains at the peak for another year or two!
Coach Carlisle understands that they have no hope of winning the title this year, and they are in the center of the position, facing Gasol and Bynum...... Not to mention these two, Odom can hang them in the center.
Then the thing to do is simple.
Around Nowitzki's singles, rearrange tactics!
Even if you go back to the singles tactics before 2007, you have to find a way to make Nowitzki play with confidence!
……
While the Mavericks coaching staff was having a meeting with the team's coaching staff, Nowitzki, their star and the main topic of their discussion, was talking to Kidd.
Tonight was special for Nowitzki.
Nowitzki likes to drink, though not normally during the season, but when he returned to the hotel tonight, Kidd came with a bottle of red wine, and he drank a little.
Kidd poured three glasses and collapsed on the couch in Nowitzki's room.
Nowitzki went to the balcony to blow the cool night breeze and think back to tonight's game.
Before he came to Memphis, he was thinking about the future.
He had plans to retire after playing this year, and he would be 32 years old in the summer, and the professional sports were stagnant, and the national team was not as strong as it was at the beginning of the century...... They are the third in the world! He won a bronze medal at the World Championships in 2002.
Now, their national team can't even make it to the quarterfinals of Europe, and they can't get out of the group stage of the European Championships.
All things considered, and he felt that his basketball career could come to an end.
The money is also made enough, except for the unattainable championship......
However, the day before yesterday, Nowitzki, who came to Memphis, listened to a favorite opera, and the words in the inspirational opera cleared him up the confusion that shrouded him in the path of his career.
In tonight's game, he really used it as a test to see if he had the ability to make the playoffs!
Battier was about to poke in the eye, he still had to shoot, he knew that if he didn't play well, the opponent's attack played so well tonight, they would be finished.
If you don't shoot, it's definitely not a good performance, but if you don't shoot, it's definitely not good, and he knows how important he is to the team.
In that case, it's better to vote!
Then, he succeeded!
This match is especially crucial for Nowitzki!
Back in the living room of the suite, I poured a glass of red wine and took a sip, Nowitzki still felt weird, the Germans should drink beer.
But so be it!
"From now on, I won't drink beer anymore, and I'll drink in red bars from now on!"
Nowitzki felt it was time to change himself!
……
……
The coaching staff of both teams are staying up late and working overtime for the current demand or for the future.
Sun Ce's side, after participating in the team meeting, carried out the Nash training method, and finally relied on training himself half to death, getting rid of the anxiety about the situation of the year.
Back in the apartment, turning on the air conditioner, taking a bath and soaking in the bathtub, Sun Ce took a deep breath under the hindrance of the water pressure.
"Fighting against the Heavenly King (B):
The goal: to win Game 4 series against the Mavericks and organize Dirk Nowitzki to lead the team to tie the score.
Event Reward: Novitzki Technique Random Draw Cards.
Failure Penalty: None. ”
Looking at the description of this event, Sun Ce thought: "Fight against the Nuo Heavenly King...... Is it to defeat the Nuo Tianwang who is fighting against him, or to complete the counterattack when the Nuo Tianwang is coming strongly? But Nowitzki is really good! When he got rid of the psychological barrier, he was simply invincible!
However, the Bull Slayer Bear's sweep reward from earlier was put here.
This is considered two events coming together, right? If the fourth game is lost, this event will fail, as will the previous one......"
Sun Ce began to soak in the bathtub, thinking about the current incident and the current situation.
It is said that it is the most inspirational in the bathroom, and Sun Ce feels that this is really the case.
Sun Ce pondered how the team and his own mindset had changed since the playoffs.
Now, whether it's the media, the fans, their teams, the players themselves...... It's as if it's a sin to lose.
As if they deserved to win!
That's not right!
Before the start of the playoffs, it was clear that it was good, and reaching the playoffs has exceeded expectations, and if you can win in the first round, you will earn it, and it doesn't matter if you lose.
How is it the other way around now?
Sure enough, when the thinking is not clear and the pressure is high, it is time to toss the body and spend all the excess energy, and the thinking becomes clear!
