Chapter 63: Go hand in hand

On November 10th, almost two weeks before the start of the regular season, the Mavericks won a seven-game winning streak in two weeks. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the Mavericks can still only settle for the second place in the Western Conference regular season, only because the Lakers, who won the championship last season, showed a tiger downward momentum from the beginning of the regular season, and a wave of 9 consecutive wins firmly occupied the top spot in the regular season.

After narrowly beating the Rockets by two points in the first game, the Lakers won the Suns, Warriors, Grizzlies, Kings, Raptors, Trail Blazers and Timberwolves in a row.

Even so, it is still useless, because this season's news hotspots are destined to follow the Heat.

After the Heat lost to the Celtics in the first game, they first took the 76ers, followed by the Magic, the Nets, and the Timberwolves. After a four-game winning streak, they lost to Paul's Hornets 93-96, followed by a big win over the Nets, and then lost 114-116 to the Jazz led by Deron Williams.

This surprised everyone who had extraordinary expectations for the Heat, who won 5-3 in 8 games, and won 5 games except for the Magic, all of which were underdogs, and the 3 games they lost were all playoff teams last season.

Coincidentally, in two days, the Heat will meet the Celtics team who gave them their first defeat of the season, and unfortunately, before the Celtics played against the Heat, the Celtics had to play the Mavericks away.

Although the Mavericks have won a wave of six in a row, they have won more than 55 regular season games all year round, but they have failed to return in the playoffs every time. The Mavericks, who have not won a championship since the establishment of the team, have made people accustomed to their state, giving people the feeling that they can play in the regular season every time, and they will be defeated directly in the playoffs.

Even Coach Carlisle has a reputation as a regular season leader.

After the Game 7 win over the Grizzlies, the Mavericks players were interviewed by reporter Thestein in their own arena.

"Dirk, you played the role of a lone hero last season. Countless big heart performances, even 29 points in a single quarter, if you evaluate a first-half MVP before the All-Star break, you will inevitably be in the top three in terms of votes. In our opinion, even if the Mavericks lose in the playoffs, you're still the best player in the series.

Of course, you were able to go 4-1 against the Spurs last season, and last season you were swept away by the Spurs 4-2. What do you think about this? This reporter was a bit of a coquettish, and even gave Nowitzki a desire to suppress the first hand.

Dirk nodded frequently when he heard the front, and his face was green when he heard the back, which pot he couldn't open.

"There will always be uncertainties in the game, but I have to say that last season we only had two months due to a change in the lineup, which still caused us a certain amount of trouble."

Dirk replied decently, after all, it's an old fritter.

"After the previous season, you could have chosen a new employer as a free agent, but why would you sign a four-year contract extension with the Mavericks? Does that mean you've given up on the championship? Seeing that the previous question didn't produce any news material, Tesstein's question began to sharpen.

Nowitzki thought slightly, sat upright, and looked serious,

James' decision to leave Cleveland in pursuit of a championship ring was a good decision that put the Heat in the spotlight overnight. But I just want to stay with the Mavericks - to put it bluntly - my value will not change even if I put it on any other team. Even though other teams, such as the New Jersey Nets, Chicago Bulls or the New York Knicks, were willing to pay a lot to sign me, I had nothing to do with them, and my loyalty to the team ultimately decided that I would stay. Also, I don't agree with you that I think I've given up on competing for a championship, and now I have the opportunity and time to make my dream of winning a championship ring with the Mavericks over the next four years. ”

Nowitzki paused, "We've had a great start to the season, we're still undefeated, and I think we have the quality and depth to compete for the championship. ”

"At present, you are 7 wins in a row, but you are still pressed under the feet of the Lakers, the Lakers, as the champion of last season, have been aggressive since the start of the regular season, and have won 9 consecutive wins, do you have the confidence to beat the Lakers?"

Nowitzki hadn't answered, but Mark Cuban on the side jumped out, "Of course our team can defeat the Lakers!" We're tall now! We have thickness! We're a lot thicker than the Lakers! Not only are we experienced, we have thickness, we are more athletic, we are younger, we have the best team in the NBA! ”

Mark Cuban shouted.

Lin Hao heard a lot of slander, yes, the Lakers have averaged the thickness of the championship teams in the past two years, especially last season. yes, the playoffs are always just about seven or eight guys. Yes, the Mavericks were thicker in 2006-07, and last season the Mavericks were much thicker than the Spurs -- but what did it do, the Mavericks fell when they should have fallen.

It was the thickness that created many problems for Carlisle, such as how to allocate the playing time and how to distribute the battle teams. The depth of thickness is of course remarkable, and it allows you to face different situations in a variety of ways.

However, for less iron-fisted managers, sometimes it can be a problem. Han Xin once said that Liu Bang can give up to 100,000, and he has more and more, which is almost the truth.

Of course, seeing Cuban so high-profile, Lin Hao still felt very relieved. The NBA is a big dye vat with a smoky miasma, how many bosses are high-spirited and pee out; Spend money like dirt in it, and don't pull out a dime; The mouth is blocked in, and the Green Dam River crab comes out. And the Kuban has been fined millions of dollars by the alliance after ten years of ups and downs, and the problem is that this money is not RMB, but dollars. After suffering hundreds of losses, Kuban is still heroic, and he is a good man.

Speaking of not being afraid of fines, in the entire alliance, Lin Hao only obeys his own boss. However, for the big mouth of the boss Cuban, Lin Hao still thinks that it is better to be a little more convergent or more convergent.

Lin Hao is imagining the world.

Reporter Tesstein coldly threw him a question, "Lin Hao, Boibis was originally the backup point guard appointed by the Mavericks, but now you have taken his place, what characteristics do you think make you occupy a place in the system of head coach Carlisle?" ”

Yards, Lin Hao speechlessly glanced at Boibis who was not far from him, how the hell did he answer, tomorrow is obviously a game against the Celtics, but just now this reporter just went to the Lakers, and he should have seen that this kid had a bad stomach.

Lin Hao coughed twice and then said helplessly, "It's better for you to ask the head coach this question, to be honest, I really don't know." ”

Lin Hao thought about it and decided that it would be better to lead the way to the east, is it possible to say that you are blind, I didn't look at the Mavericks' winning streak during this wave of games, I averaged 17 points and 6.5 assists per game.

Coach Carlisle had no choice but to answer officially, "Mainly because Boubovis has just returned from injury, and it depends on his recovery before arranging playing time." ”
