1976 Milwaukee Bucks head coach Larry? Castro was fired due to a poor early season record (3-15), and Nelson, who had just retired, began his storied coaching career as general manager and head coach of the Bucks.

One of the hallmarks of his coaching career was that he made big deals and deals with his players when he started with the team. This excludes players he doesn't like or don't fit his team, and then trades players he knows well or likes what he's used to, so his team-building system comes out. He first put the team's star player Sven? Nate sent the Buffalo Warriors (the predecessor of the Los Angeles Clippers) to pick up Marquis, who was later called an important pillar of the Bucks in the draft? Johnson. The team's results are starting to improve. He made the playoffs nine times in the next decade, winning over 50 seven times and reaching the Eastern Conference finals three times. Nielsen was named NBA Coach of the Year in 1983 and 1985. In addition to the excellent players and the best defense in the league, the excellent performance of the Bucks also benefited from Nelson's concept of a point forward outside the traditional five positions on the court that was almost decades ahead of the world, that is, the small forward took care of both the offense and the defense of the opposing forward, thus creating a mismatch, inducing the opponent's defensive system to be confused, and then using the misplaced single way to score. This approach has been a huge success. But because the team as a whole was still inferior to the big clubs, especially teams like the Celtics, the Bucks didn't make it to the Finals, and Don Nelson left the Bucks after 1987.

Later with the Golden State Warriors, Don Nelson reversed the defensive style he emphasized with the Bucks. Infused his later characteristic - run-and-gun offense into the team, leaving everyone stunned. The central character of his lineup, Mitch? Richmond, Tim? Hardaway and Chris? Mullin, collectively known as RunTMC, is regarded as one of the strongest offensive combinations in NBA history for his jaw-dropping offensive arsenal. During his seven years as a coach at Nielsen, the Golden State Warriors made the playoffs four times, and he was also selected as Coach of the Year in 1991-1992. But due to the lack of a perfect point forward, the Golden State Warriors never made it to the league finals. Then, Webb came. At this time, his next move was the famous Popovich, and together they took the team to the playoffs with a 50-32 record. But the disagreement between Webb and Don Nelson emerged. Nielsen sticks to its positional ambiguity view. I wanted Webb to play multiple positions, but Webb refused, according to Popovich: "Webb wants to be Johnson, we want him to be Carl?" Marlon". As a result, Webb forced the Warriors to send him to Washington. And the elder Nelson also had to resign because of his poor record (14-31).

Then he spent four years with the New York Knicks. Don Nelson came to the Dallas Mavericks. First, he got rid of the team's head coach. After he took the position, he began his own ambitions. In the ensuing 1998-1999 preseason draft, Nelson Sr. made what was probably the most glorious trade of his life. Did he use it against Robert? Taylor's option to trade with the Bucks for Pat? Gletty and Dirk, a German player unknown at the time? Nowitzki's option, and the exchange for the Suns for the young player Steve? Nash, overnight, the Mavericks' skeleton was formed.

Beginning in 1999-2000, the Mavericks coached by Nelson Sr. began to soar under the leadership of the Three Musketeers. Now it's fourth in the West, which is a very good result.

And now Dallas has completed several more deals. Dallas traded Kristen Wright for Juwan Howard, which is very good, even if the current Juwan Howard's performance has dropped a little, but he can still get 17 points and 7 rebounds. The composition of the team is already very good, and coupled with the shark-cutting tactics, Don Nelson is even a little afraid of the Los Angeles Lakers.

But even now that the Dallas Mavericks have such a lineup, Don Nelson is still a little dissatisfied.

When he first met Nowitzki, Don Nelson was simply amazed at him. He seemed to see another Larry Bird. The same great shooting and offense, the same all-rounder. So Don Nelson came to him in a desperate deal.

At first, he was quite satisfied, after all, he was only 20 years old, and there was still a lot of room for development.

But then Don Nelson knew that Nowitzki was not going to catch up with Larry Bird for the rest of his life.

What kind of player is Larry Bird?

He and "Magic" Johnson were the leaders of the NBA in the 80s. He was already a star in the college league when he was in college, and his matchup with "Magic" Johnson has attracted as much attention as the official NBA game, and they have been called the "black and white heroes" since joining the NBA. Whether it's as a scorer, a passer, a rebounder, a defender, a team core, or a key man, he's been perfect throughout his career, he's a gentleman, he's a gentleman, he's a player, he's got a lot of effort, he's got a lot of effort, he's got a lot of effort, he's got a lot of teamwork.

Although he is not fast, the bounce is average, and even a little clumsy, and he walks with a little figure-of-eight. Such physical conditions are relatively poor in the NBA, not to mention that he is still white. However, Bird's basketball basic skills are very solid, whether it is shooting, cutting, passing, grabbing, sealing, and faring, all the skills are real but not flashy. In particular, the shooting is accurate and stable, the field of vision is wide, and the reaction is alert. He has won the NBA Long Range Shooting Contest three times in a row. What's even more commendable is that he has an excellent basketball sense, especially good at spotting the characteristics and habitual movements of opponents, and playing against them. He is always able to shoot the most crucial balls in the most critical places at the most critical moments, turn the tide, remain resolute and good at fighting, and is one of the NBA's well-deserved superstars. Ross Barkley and other stars are all dishes in front of him.

And what about Nowitzki? Yes, he has the perfect shooting skills in this league and even the world, and the scoring range covers the entire half. And there are no dead ends, you can attack from any position, especially the backward mid-shot, which is simply a bug-level offensive method. The 7-foot height and the large angle of the back are almost undefensible offensive methods, and because of the extremely high arc, the basket area is large and the shooting rate is relatively high. In addition to the back, Dirk's breakout and three-point ability is also strong, as Dirk has a level of flexibility that players of his height don't have. Therefore, it is often used to break through with changes in footsteps and rhythm. And when Dirk is facing an outside player, he can use his height advantage to directly pull out the jumper. On the off-ball end, partnering Nashfinley, Nowitzki's ability to get down quickly and run through the air is also quite good. He knows when it's time to go straight to the basket. When it's time to drop off beyond the three-point line and wait for your teammates to feed you. In terms of offensive system. Dirk has good vision and can see where his teammates are running while holding the ball, especially in the high-low type of passes. Quite penetrating, in recent years, with the improvement of his desire to attack inside, inside-out passing has gradually become richer, and when Dirk falls into the low post single, the ball can also form a direct shot opportunity for teammates. And the free throw shooting percentage and foul making are also quite good. On offense, he's even better than Larry Bird. But other aspects......

Nowitzki's defense is often criticized, and despite being on a team like the Mavericks that barely defends, the defense still doesn't rank well. He doesn't seem to know how to use his nimble feet to stick to his opponent, and he has a mediocre judgment of the opponent's offensive line when defending, and he can often be thrown off when the opponent's first step is activated. The ability to make up and assist in defense is quite average, and it can even be said that it is a deviation, and it is basically impossible to notice the loss of teammates. However, the backcourt rebounds are good, the card position ability is good, and the backcourt board is 7+ all year round. The ability of the frontcourt board is very average, basically there is no ability to rush, and the judgment of the rebound landing point is not very accurate. Later, Tyson Chandler was brought in to make up for Nowitzki's defensive deficiencies.

That's not all, Nowitzki is most criticized for his temperament. From the moment Mark Cuban became the owner of this team, it was clear that Nowitzki was a player who would never be traded. That's the leader of a team. But what Nowitzki lacks most is leadership. He's a perfect shooter, scorer, and while not very good defensively, he's not exactly a defensive black hole. But he lacked the ability to save the team when it mattered and to lead the team to victory, knowing that it was only when the 2011 Finals came true that Nowitzki was truly mature. But now, the tender head is a green one!

It takes time for Nowitzki to grow, but now Don Nelson can't wait! Especially after seeing Luke!

In Don Nelson's eyes, Luke is his favorite kind of player: all-round, can play from the No. 1 to No. 4 position, can control the ball, can score, can boost morale, can grab rebounds, can block, treat people easily, and there are such a talented player without the slightest genius player The habits of a talented player, such as not being able to defend well, not working hard until the critical moment, etc. The perfect striker with the ball. Don Nelson's favorite "breed" of players.

Don Nelson has been on the lookout for a point forward since the beginning of his coaching career. When he first saw Webb, Don Nelson saw hope, but Webb's stubborn temper disappointed Don Nelson. But now there's a point forward in front of him who has not yet been finalized and has a lot of room to develop, and Don Nelson is very keen to get him.

But Don Nelson also knows that the 76ers won't let go, especially now. Now the 76ers have a pretty good record, and they're already preparing for the playoffs. Don Nelson knew they couldn't let go now, not to mention that the trade deadline had passed and there was no way to trade.

All right. We have to wait for next season. Thankfully, Luke only signed a one-season contract, otherwise it would have been a lot of work to get him. Now you have to build a good relationship with his agent first, and then use a big contract and team status to seduce him, and such a small player will come. When he comes, the Mavericks will be stronger, and at that time...... Hehehehehe. Don Nelson thought.

"Hey, hey, coach! It's time to set up your tactics! Nowitzki looked at his coach Don Nelson all the time looking over there, his eyes spewing hot flames, and he was still smirking as he watched, and Nowitzki felt something was wrong. So he reminded.

"Oh oh oh, yes!" Don Nelson came back to his senses from YY. I looked at the time and found that the time to pause was almost up, and it would be too late if I didn't arrange it! "I'll talk about the next tactical ......," Don Nelson began to scratch on the board, drawing and explaining to the players.

Soon, the timeout passed, and the players returned to the field from scratch to start playing.

"Whew, I'm glad I caught up!" Don Nelson said. He finally finished it in the timeout.

Looking at the players on the field, Don Nelson smiled. (To be continued......)
