One Guard

After 5 years, the Dallas Mavericks once again reached the NBA Finals. What is dramatic is that five years later, the Mavericks opponent in the Finals is likely to still be the Miami Heat.

At present, the Heat have led by a total score of 3 to 1 in the Eastern Conference Finals. If they win another game in the next game, they will be promoted successfully.

Although the Bulls have the youngest MVP Derrick Rose in NBA history, there is still a gap in overall strength between the Bulls and the Heat.

Naturally, Rose’s own personal abilities need not be said, and the personal abilities of players who can win the MVP need not be questioned. But the problem is that there are not many helpers around Rose. Boozer and Noah struggled offensively. Although Lor Deng still averaged 16.9 points per game in the playoffs, it was still difficult to pick the banner.

In contrast to the Miami Heat, last summer, the formation of the Heat's Big Three shocked the whole world. The three superstars of Wade, James and Bosh have joined forces to make the Heat's lineup unprecedentedly strong. Although the performance of the Heat at the beginning of the season was not satisfactory, as the season progressed, the team got better and better, and the strength of the Heat has also been recognized by the public.

It is not easy for Rose to bring the team to the Eastern Conference Finals, but it seems a bit too dreamy to pass the Heat's Big Three when 3-1 behind.

So now, the topic that the media all over the world is hyping up is the meeting of the Mavericks and the Heat in the finals again! After five years, the two teams have undergone earth-shaking changes. The most frequently used word in the Dallas local media is "revenge!"

Five years ago, they lost to the Heat and lost the championship. Five years later, they believe that the team can get back what they lost.

But apart from the local media in Dallas, almost everyone feels that the success of the Heat's Big Three is just around the corner. After all, judging from the paper lineup, the Mavericks are indeed much inferior to the Heat.

Except for Nowitzki, the best man in the Mavericks team is actually Yiyang, a first-year rookie. Kidd? He is indeed a historic point guard, but he is nearly 40 years old but he rarely performs well. In the playoffs, averaging 6 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds per game, Kidd's data looks more like a rookie player.

As for Terry, who averaged 15.6 points per game in the playoffs, people didn't take him to heart. Terry is really good enough to play on the court and occasionally has high-light performances. But now, no one would think of Terry as a superstar. Isn't it of no avail that Ross has a Lor Deng who averages nearly 17 points per game? This type of player is the backbone of a team, but it is by no means the key force that determines the outcome of the game.

Finally, people still put the hot topic of discussion on Yiyang. In the playoffs, he averaged 20.3 points, 9.8 assists and 4.6 rebounds, plus 2.1 steals. Judging from the playoff data of Yiyang, it is not enough to say that he is the best player in the rookie season of the NBA in the past five years. Over.

Paul, Roy, Durant, Rose and Evans, among the best rookies of the last five years, only Rose has had the experience of reaching the playoffs in his rookie season. But Rose, who has grown into the youngest MVP, did not perform as well as Yiyang in the first playoffs.

People can put all kinds of praise and labels on Yiyang, and Yiyang's performance is indeed worthy of respect. But the championship? Putting these three words together with Yiyang always feels a bit strange.

A aging All-Star, a historic-level point guard who is about to retire, a shooting guard who can't make a difference, plus a rookie. This combination is far less convincing than the Heat Big Three.

Therefore, although the Heat have not even emerged from the Eastern Conference. But in the eyes of everyone, they have almost awarded the O'Brien Cup to the Miamians.

Fortunately, the ownership of the NBA championship is not determined by basketball reporters' votes, but by hard work on the court. It is not the first time that the Mavericks have not been optimistic. From entering the playoffs to the present, the Mavericks are the side that is not optimistic.

But what's the problem? Now, didn't the Mavericks also reached the finals under pressure and doubts? For the Mavericks players, they have become accustomed to being despised by the opponent. Therefore, the comments from the outside world did not affect the training of the players in the slightest.

This time, Carlisle did not give the players a day off as before.

The day after defeating the Thunder and winning the Western Conference championship, the team continued to train as usual, and the amount of training was not compromised.

Although the outside world is always habitually despising the Mavericks, but I have to admit that the Miami Heat is indeed a formidable opponent.

Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, LeBron James, any of these three names alone is enough to scare people. What's more, these three people appeared at the same time!

The formation of the Heat's Big Three has almost changed the rules of the basketball world. The three superstars can win one game after another by simply relying on the simple tactics of taking turns in singles.

In the face of such a strong opponent, the Mavericks players must act in addition to having the confidence to win.

Early the next morning, on the training ground, Carlisle had prepared a lot of words to say to the players. But when the training officially started, the academy coach couldn't say a word.

It's not because of other reasons, but because the players' training state is really excellent, and there is no fault at all.

Originally, Carlisle thought the players who had just won the Western Conference would relax, but as everyone knows, they have worked harder instead.

As Terry said yesterday, the Western Conference championship is not what the Mavericks want. The championship is the only goal of the team this year.

Terry couldn't get excited after winning the championship trophy yesterday, but he was so excited on the training ground today. In confrontational training, he always complained that Kidd's defense against Yiyang was too gentle. After that, Carlisle will do the trick and even arrange for Terry to defend Yiyang himself.

Yiyang didn't care about him either. It was not the first time he played against Terry in training after being in the NBA for so long. But today, Yiyang obviously underestimated Terry's seriousness.

High-intensity confrontation, this was the first message Terry sent to Yiyang during training today.

The "Jet" grinned and kept making physical contact with Yiyang, while spraying trash talk. According to Yiyang's personality in high school, Terry may already have a fist now.

Yiyang couldn't even distinguish between the old gangster sitting next to his locker and the serious tough guy now, which one is the real Jason Terry.

In an attack, Yiyang broke through for a layup, but was knocked to the ground by the chasing Terry.

Generally, this rarely happens in the training ground. Even if it happens, the offender will immediately show his favor and pull his teammates up.

But today, Terry didn't. He stood viciously in front of Yiyang, and didn't mean to reach out to help.

"That won't work? When it comes to the finals, those guys on the Heat will not treat you so tenderly as I did!" Throwing these words aside, Terry turned his head and left. It was Nowitzki who stepped up to pull Yiyang to ease the tension.

"Jett, you are a bit too much." Kidd walked to Terry and whispered softly in his ear.

"We can't treat him as a child, Jason. If you still want to win the championship!" As everyone knows, Terry's response is still tough. It seems that this will not be the last time Yiyang has suffered.

As the only player in the Mavericks team who has experienced a defeat in the 2006 Finals, besides Nowitzki. Terry knew exactly what they would face in the finals.

In front of the championship, everyone will be a killer. Don't think that Wade will be merciful because he likes Yiyang. In the finals, even the kind "Flash" will try to knock Yiyang down in 100 different ways.

"Come on again, old man!" In the quiet training ground, Yiyang's voice suddenly hit everyone's ears, echoing in the empty stadium.

Terry turned around and watched Yiyang walking towards him.

"Damn, don't think I'm afraid of you, bastard!"

Hearing Yiyang's scolding, Terry was not angry, but showed a faint smile.

"Don't regret it, kid!"

Seeing this scene on the court, Carlisle was actually very happy in his heart. This is why he didn't come forward to stop Terry just now.

In this team, someone has to stand up and tell the players what the finals mean. The experience of the regular season or even the first few rounds of the playoffs may not work well in the finals.

Rougher moves, stronger confrontations, stronger opponents. James this humanoid tank will not reduce the impact force because of Yiyang's thin body, and Wade will not reduce his breakthrough speed because Kidd is nearly forty years old.

The championship is like a magic box that confuses people's hearts. Once they have a chance to get her, everyone will fall into madness and even sacrifice themselves.

However, Nowitzki, a gentle German, will definitely not tell the players this in the training ground. If Nowitzki is a "white face", then the role of "black face" can only be played by Terry, the only one outside Nowitzki who has lost in the 2006 finals. Only he can take this "bad guy" to the extreme.

Now Terry has done what he was supposed to do very well. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com

In the subsequent training, Yiyang also got serious, and did not shy away from fighting Terry physically. The two guys really got better, and the hard work of the two gradually infected other people.

When confrontational training is closest to actual combat, the quality of training is often the highest. The Miami Heat will also have a showdown with the Bulls tonight, and the Dallas Mavericks, who are not optimistic, have opened their first round of the finals preview.

"Aren't you afraid that they will get hurt early by doing this?" Assistant coach Terry Stotts was already in a cold sweat next to Carlisle.

"Don't look at these guys playing fiercely, but they all protect each other after the collision. Don't worry, the risk of injury is not high. I am a little worried whether the Miami Heat will not be able to recover for a while. Ci, I think this year, we really have a show!" Carlisle finished speaking, turning his head to stare at his assistant. The academy coach's eyes gleamed, as if he had found a treasure map.

Stotts didn't respond, but he was a little excited in his heart.

Snatch the O'Brien Cup from the Heat's Big Three? I have to say, this is really **** exciting!
