Chapter 186: It seems to be an old man

Players from both sides warm up.

Dazhi is particularly eye-catching in a bunch of black muscles, and he keeps adjusting his feel outside the three-point line, getting closer and closer.

In the stands, a little white boy with curly hair pulled his father's jacket and said in a milky voice.

"Daddy, daddy, look, that big guy over there seems to be a Mavericks player before."

The bearded father turned his head to look over, and Dazhi's figure came into view, he thought about it suspiciously, but still didn't recognize it. Dazhi didn't have much of a chance to perform with the Mavericks, sitting next to the water cooler almost all night. The audience's attention is on the field, who will be okay to watch the water cooler, so it's normal for the audience not to know each other.

But the little boy came to see the ball to be fresh, and instead of watching the ball on the court, he looked everywhere, looking at the world with childlike eyes, and Dazhi happened to have a little impression in his heart.

DJ didn't render either, he knew him, but Dazhi at that time didn't matter at all in the Mavericks, so DJ didn't pay attention to it.

Dazhi calmly completed all the warm-ups, even if everyone present didn't know him, he still wanted to ask for an explanation for his past self.

At the beginning of the first quarter, the Mavericks discharged a lineup that had been running in for a long time this season, and the biggest highlight was that Nowitzki was on the top of the center, although he was a pseudo-center, and the rebounds still depended on everyone, but in this way, he was directly opposite Dazhi.

The other four starters of the Mavericks are power forward Antoine Walker, who just got hard currency from the Celtics in the offseason, and has really 20+ players for 4 consecutive seasons, the boss of the Celtics last season.

The other forward is Don Nelson's successful low-pick Taobao, Josh Howard, the 29th pick this season. Pretty good panacea small forward.

The back line is still the old partner, Nash and Finley.

Last summer, the Mavericks' roster changed drastically, and the team even brought in strong reinforcements, Antoine Walker and Antoine Jamison were both 20+ players last season, both of whom were poached with tens of millions of contracts and spent a lot of money. This time, the Mavericks are crowded with 4 players with an annual salary of tens of millions, locking up their salary space.

It also planted the seeds for Nash's departure in the summer, and Nash spent six years with the Mavericks and never had a contract of more than $6 million, a price that is clearly too low for a player on the verge of an All-Star. But without Nash's cheap contract, no matter how rich Cuban is, he won't be able to make up the current star roster.

The team has a luxurious roster, but Don Nelson also knows that basketball is not a game of stacking stars, and if the chemistry is not good, it can ruin the team.

After more than half a season, Don Nelson finally settled on his current starting lineup. Although Jamison was the sixth man on the team, he played 30 minutes, and rookie Josh Howard was only a pseudo-starter in the opening game.

Hu Qingniu has studied this lineup, and the attack is super strong, especially when Jamison came on the court in the second half of the first quarter, there were 3 players on the court who could shoot more three-pointers than Nowitzki.

They are Finley, Nash 40.5%, and Jamison 40%, and this shooting percentage represents the top marksman in this era.

It's all the work of Don Nelson, a test maniac, and this lineup reminds Hu Qingniu of the Warriors of later generations, and everything is very similar. Maybe the gap is the lack of unsolvable individual singles like Curry and Adu.

Hu Qingniu's explanation is very simple, don't let the opposite side shoot smoothly, resolutely use one-on-one defense, and Wharton Jr. was also taken down and replaced with Wallace, who had a better defense.

Nowitzki scored three consecutive points in the opening game to welcome his good brother. Although Dazhi adhered to the defensive method mentioned by Hu Qingniu, he had no choice but to feel that no matter how far he went, he could throw it in any position.

Nowitzki is the most unique superstar of this era, with only 8+3 stats in his first season in the NBA. When he was told that his body was too weak to achieve great things. He just walked out of the way according to his own ideas.

He thinks that basketball has so many twists and turns, isn't it just about putting the ball in the basket, and I just need to make sure that I can hit the basket at any time and in any place, can't I still succeed?

Nowitzki practiced shooting hard, everyone else went to nightclubs, they all went to have fun, and he kept practicing shooting in the training gym. After training every day, he added 500 threes, no matter how late he was.

Halfway through the first quarter, Jamison came up, the Mavericks' offensive firepower was more sufficient, and the Bobcats were a little overwhelmed. The offense of each of the opposing sides is lethal, and there is also the masterful Nash combing offense. At the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats were beaten to the point where they couldn't find the north.

Hu Qingniu doesn't have a good way, the strategy is right, but the opponent can shoot and shoot, which is the most inexplicable thing on the basketball court.

In the second quarter, the Bobcats improved a little, although they still couldn't prevent it, but they started to attack under Wade's leadership. Wade relied on his speed to eat Finley several times, and the gap was less than 15 points at halftime.

At this time, Dazhi only scored 6 points, and Novitzki on the opposite side had 18 points.

At halftime, Dazhi blamed himself very much, could it be that he was going to lose again this time. Even the team has to lose because of themselves.

Hu Qingniu could only go up to comfort Dazhi to relax, and Dazhi's first half was actually no problem. It's just that the arm is a little tight when shooting, it should be nervous, and the strength of the shot is either too big or too small, and it's okay in the direction. In this case, you need to slowly adjust the appropriate force yourself.

At the beginning of the second half, Dazhi did not dare to shoot, and when the opportunity came out, he still resolutely threw two, although they were both lost. But it was not as outrageous as the first half, and if you dare to vote for Hu Qingniu like this, you can rest assured, if you don't jump in mentality, you will find your feel again sooner or later.

On another offense, Dazhi pulled to the bottom right corner and made way for Wade to make a layup.

Nowitzki didn't even come with him this time, he suffered too many such losses, and every time he went to make a layup, Wade would get a layup.

Wade saw that Dazhi was vacant, and without hesitation, he passed it diagonally.

The ball is coming.

Dazhi's eyes narrowed, he took the ball, stepped back to the three-point line, raised his hand, looked at the basket, and shot.

The ball was spinning in the air, and the trajectory was very beautiful, but with a "bang", this time it almost hit the hoop and bounced out.

"Hah! Ha! Ha! ”

Dazhi clearly heard the laughter of the audience, this is the 9th time he has missed the shot, or the 10th time. The more you pay attention to it, the more you mess it up, and sometimes psychological factors are also part of the strength.

Dazhi ignored these ridicules, he walked back, and looked up at the score by the way, 53:69, a difference of 16 points.

Phewβ€”β€”!

Breathe deeply.
