Chapter 241: A Good Choice
Chapter 241 is a good choice
Jason Kidd didn't expect that day would come, and the situation was unimaginable to him.
He thought that the tactics of the original OK combination period would not be repeated one day, but now the facts in front of him made him feel extremely bitter.
"Big Shark" O'Neal and "Black Mamba" Kobe, the two of them once teamed up to take away his two championships, cutting off his hopes of winning the championship, when the Los Angeles Big Four defeated Detroit in 04, he thought that the triangle offense of the OK group to dominate the league would never return to the league.
However, the reality slapped him in the face after all, and it was so hard that his face was so hot that it hurt.
The Minnesota Timberwolves actually sacrificed the triangle offense that was once OK on the offensive end, which is unbelievable!
Triangle offense is an offensive tactic set up for singles, whether it is Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant or "Big Shark" O'Neal, they are all players with unsolvable characteristics in singles, they can always use the easiest way to send the ball to the basket, simple and rough, it's so damn simple!
Now, the Dallas Mavericks have encountered such a "weird" Timberwolves team, completely pressed and beaten on the offensive end.
Marc Gasol is singles in the low post, no one can limit him, Gasol Jr.'s singles under the basket are very reliable, as long as he pulls out space, it is not difficult to score.
Among the many interior offensive techniques, for Gasol Jr., the most proficient is the basket single.
He is not quite the same as his brother Pau Gasol, Gasol Jr.'s style of play is more inclined to the traditional inside, and he has solid basic skills.
It was indeed a highlight-reel deal for the Timberwolves to trade for Marc Gasol from the Memphis Grizzlies this season, and no one expected that a second-round pick from Europe would play such a good game.
When the Timberwolves traded away Al Jefferson, of course, there was a reason why his defensive ability was not excellent, and he frequently leaked people on the defensive end. There are also reservations about Al Jefferson's potential.
On the contrary, Marc Gasol is still young and much more versatile, and for the Timberwolves, it is definitely a trade to win the future.
The addition of Marc Gasol can be said to solve the core problems of the Timberwolves in the next three to five years.
Now Makgasol's contract is the same as that of Lee Se-ho. are all in rookie contracts, and the salary they occupy every year is really not worth mentioning, so there is no need to worry about it.
If three years later, Li Shihao and Mark Gasol have maintained an excellent competitive level, and their strength has steadily entered the superstar level, the Timberwolves are definitely capable of providing these two with rich enough contracts to keep the two, Gasol Jr. and Li Shihao are both the inner and outer core of the Minnesota Timberwolves in the next few years, if the Timberwolves want to rise. Re-entering the Western Conference Finals, and even winning the championship in the finals, then Li Shihao and Gasol Jr. are indispensable.
The Dallas Mavericks have fallen into a losing rhythm, and it's a terrible thing for a team to lose their fighting spirit.
One blow of strength, then decline, three and exhaustion.
The current Dallas Mavericks are already caught in this strange circle, and Jason Kidd has organized the offensive several times. Trying to beat the counter-offensive tide and recover the score. But they were all suppressed by the Timberwolves strongly, and they didn't give any chance to take advantage of it.
Not once, not twice, and by the third time, everyone will have a discouraged thought in their hearts to be able to enter the NBA. It's not necessarily all strong-willed people, and when it comes to this kind of headwind, there are too few players who can step up and lead the team to victory.
How many people in the league can step up when the wind is headwinding and lead the team on the counter-attack?
Not much, even LeBron James is often invisible on the court in the final moments of the game. Give the key ball to your teammates to solve.
Derk Nowitzki is obviously not a player who can step up and help the team in the headwind, otherwise, the Dallas Mavericks would not have been beaten four games in a row by the fledgling Flash Wade in the '06 Finals.
Dirk Nowitzki's consistent shooting ability is what he's known for, but it's also one of his weaknesses.
Although he is also one of the top scorers in the league, the evaluation of the German tank is far inferior to Kobe Bryant, Wade and other league scorers, and even Carmelo Anthony.
You must know that Melon Anthony did not have a scoring champion trophy at this time, even though he often staged 20+ and 30+ scoring performances in the league, but over the years, there has been no honor for a shot, which has made many people in the league have a lot lower their evaluation of Melon Anthony.
The fact that Dirk Nowviski was beaten by an upset on the last occasion has been a complete indication of how difficult it is to play against the wind.
Originally, in the minds of Mavericks coach Carlisle, Jason Kidd is one of the best players at playing against the wind, he is one of the best ball handlers in the league, and controlling the tempo is his best game.
The Dallas Mavericks have always been good at positional warfare, but now that small-ball tactics are becoming more and more popular, and fast breaking has become a new trend in the league, how long can positional tactics last?
Even the aging Spurs have begun to gradually transform, you must know that they are a strong team at the same time as them.
Mavericks coach Carlisle understands that tonight's game will be the final performance of the playoffs for the Dallas, who are going back to fishing after a loss here.
But where is the hope of a championship?
Mavericks coach Carlisle pondered and remained silent for a long time, although he is a typical academic coach, he is not rigid, and he knows very well what a team needs to win.
Since the Dallas Mavericks were black-eight by the Golden State Warriors, Carlisle, the league's young coach, was appointed as the new head coach by the management of the Dallas Mavericks, and since then, Carlisle has begun to transform this Texas powerhouse.
As it turned out, the Dallas Mavericks really started to rise again, climbing to second place in the West this season, but in the playoffs they suffered a waterloo in the first round, beaten by the Timberwolves, who are seventh in the West.
Perhaps, they also need a good striker defender.
The Mavericks coach thought about it, and many of the league's forward guards flashed in his mind, "Andre Iguodala", "Sean Battier" and so on, and suddenly, Mavericks coach Carlisle caught a glimpse of Brewer who was resting off the court, thoughtfully.
"Maybe he'll be a good choice!"
