Chapter 374: Against the Lone Ranger

Achieving a key game on the road to a record, although the result was good, the process was unacceptable to the Lakers. So the atmosphere of the whole team is also a little delicate.

There is no way to blame Curry Jr., after all, if he makes a force, he will probably take away the victory that the Lakers have in hand. But for the likes of Robert and Vali, winning like this is even worse than losing.

Especially when Zhang Yi and Wacker were surrounded by reporters, this dissatisfaction accumulated in the hearts of everyone and could not be vented. Because after this game, the Lakers had two days of rest, but because of all kinds of messy things, everyone didn't have a good rest at all.

The problem of the mentality of his teammates is something that Zhang Yi can't solve, he, the core of the team, is still too young, and his control over others is really limited.

Whether in training or in private life, Zhang Yi has always been too gentle, and he doesn't look like the emperor of a team at all.

If you want to dominate a team, you have to be ruthless. This is also an important part of the strength in addition to the strength.

Including the basketball god Michael Jordan is a well-known tyrant on the team, except for scolding his teammates, he rarely hears anything positive. Therefore, Zhang Yi's image is too gentle, and his control over the team is naturally limited.

If your teammates are still the kind of simple men you were in college, it's okay to say that the most troublesome thing about veterans is that their mentality is prone to problems, and it is easier to drive the emotions of their teammates.

Zhang Yi's strength was indeed strong in their eyes, but it was not so strong that it made them grovel and think that they were gods. That's the most embarrassing situation.

The Lakers have a problem with the team's chemistry because of a win, and everyone may not believe it. But by the time WACKER found out, it was already about to start the game.

His first instinct was to ask Zhang Yi, Robert and Vali why they didn't tell the story in advance. The response, of course, was silence. What kind of waves can a few newcomers make in the crowd of elite veterans.

Seeing the appearance of this brother, Wacker has also been a player, so it is clear that in this case, a man's mouth will cause more trouble if he does not guard the door.

Originally, the opponent of this game was not particularly strong, and all Lakers fans thought that the victory of this ball was firmly in their pockets, but it was a shock at the beginning.

Because in order to punish the player who took the lead in stirring up emotions, he directly put half of the starters on the cold bench. There is also Zhang Yi in this, who let him not complete the task of a team leader.

On the surface, it is a punishment, but in fact, WACKER wants to make the team more united, and as the boss of the team, he can never only enjoy the good things, and all the punishments must be borne by Zhang Yi.

Only then will the other players be convinced. In addition, the pressure of this game is not particularly great, and the opponent is the Dallas Mavericks, who have lost 6 in a row.

Although many people say that there are no weak teams in the NBA, the basketball world is not so sweet now, such as the Mavericks, whose core injured teams immediately turned for the worse.

No matter how good their start to the game was, but after the team's boss center Dick retired from injury in Game 10, the Mavericks, who were originally 7-3, were beaten out of a wave of six consecutive defeats.

The angry team owner directly kicked the team head coach out of the Mavericks, although now the assistant coach is in danger, but his goal is not to obediently wait for the next family to take over, because the owner once hinted to him that as long as he leads the team to play normal results, then he can sit in the position of head coach.

While the owner's promise is simply not to be believed, Keane is certainly not to be missed as an assistant coach for a young decade.

And under the previous manager, he actually did a lot of analysis of the problems encountered by the team. If it weren't for Dick's injury, the Mavericks' lineup would actually be quite good, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to play such a high record.

But without the height on the field, the five-man squad chosen by the manager is really not suitable for the team. And this wave of the Mavericks' schedule is also more difficult.

In addition to the wave of consecutive visitors, the two home opponents are the Golden State Warriors and the New York Knicks. Lose? The manager is completely forced to take the blame.

So when assistant coach Keane decided to use another big man on the bench, he was ready for anything.

Although his first game in charge was against the mighty Los Angeles Lakers, Keane didn't feel like he had a chance at all.

After all, no one can stop him from wanting to be a manager. Even if he is desperate in this game, he wants the team to win. Keane's mentality has actually affected his own players.

After all, they had just sent off a coach they knew, and it wouldn't be a good thing for those players to get rid of even the much-loved assistant coach.

As soon as he saw the Lakers' starting lineup, Keane's smile was directly on his face. He said in his heart, God help me. Although the Lakers are strong, they are strong in the overall cooperation of Zhang Yi and other players.

Without Zhang Yi, what about the strong team with the first record in the league, the strength is directly discounted. Plus there are three fewer starters. The Lone Ranger really has the possibility of an upset.

Because it was at Dallas's home court, many Zhang Yi fans were very upset when they saw that their idol didn't play, but the Lakers gave up half of the starters? What the hell!

As soon as the Lakers appeared on the court, there was a burst of boos on the court. The Mavericks' players are also happy, and their tactics are now well integrated. And the big man on the bench really played well, if it weren't for Dick's injury, this center forward who can pass and respond would really be difficult to find.

As soon as the game began, the Mavericks got the ball. Their lineup is actually the standard Princeton style of play, which is traditional but effective.

Dick is also the league's leading playmaker, and while he's 7 feet tall, he's as fast as a centreback. Coupled with the terrifying back and turning strength, he has the reputation of the second big dream.

Now his replacement, though a little less fast. But the ability to respond is stronger. In the training match, he led the second team to defeat the first team, which can be regarded as proving himself.

One is to have the speed of a guard, the other is to have the vision of a guard, and Mavericks head coach Keane is even considering waiting until Dick returns to play a two-tower lineup, which is completely achievable.

Only now, the Mavericks will use their Princeton tactics to defeat the undefeated Los Angeles Lakers and blow the biggest upset of the season.

Keane gave up for his dream of being a head coach, and the Mavericks players fought hard, which made them stronger.

The first attack went straight to the Yellow Dragon, and the defender responded to the violent deduction to score and started the game!
