Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 583 Hidden danger

On March 17, the Nets ushered in the Mavericks led by Nowitzki at home. From the perspective of historical origins to the business between the teams, the Mavericks and the Nets belong to the "alliance level". The three-headed monsters of the Nets, Kidd, Carter, and Jefferson have all played for the Mavericks. Bledsoe is also half sold and half given to the Mavericks by the Nets, not to mention the end of last season. The Nets released the Mavericks after sniping the Lakers, ruining the league's big script. On the Mavericks side, at least they know how to repay their kindness. At least they sent a Crowder emergency when the Nets encountered a flank crisis.

Cuban spent a lot of money this season to recruit Howard, Monta Ellis, plus Bledsoe, Marion, and Nowitzki in the team. The lineup is quite good, and the strength on paper is enough to hit the championship. However, in the first half of the season, Howard's offensive problems still plagued the Mavericks for a while. Howard, who does a good job of defense honestly and actively picks and rolls, can be the number one center in the league, but if you believe O'Neal's nonsense that "the number one center should dominate the opponent in the low post" and imitate him, Howard's role on the court will even be negative.

Fortunately, after the All-Star Game, Howard recognized himself, was willing to sacrifice for the team, and returned to the original style of play. The Mavericks' performance also increased, rising to the fourth place in the Western Conference.

In this game, facing the Nets, which is recognized as the strongest in the league, after the opening, the Mavericks showed a positive state. Howard took the initiative to mention the line to do a pick-and-roll for Bledsoe, using the breakthrough ability of the two defenders to create a murderous opportunity. Objectively speaking, Bledsoe and Ellis are not particularly suitable backcourt partners. Their off-ball running and shooting abilities are relatively average. When one holds the ball, the threat of the other will be reduced. A lot, and it took Carlisle a lot of thought to adjust it. And the team's small forward Marion has three-point ability, but he is obviously not a top shooter. This also makes the defensive side take the lesser of two evils and take appropriate pincers even if Nowitzki is pulled to the outside. The form of the ball holder to limit the breakthrough of the Mavericks' two perimeters. At the same time, neither of these two players is that strong after the pick-and-roll, which also makes this defensive strategy really effective.

However, another advantage of the Mavericks is that the offensive rebounds have the upper hand. Nowitzki firmly nailed West on the perimeter, Howard and Marion's ability to rush the offensive rebounds made the Nets suffer, and Lopez was first touched by Ellis and then lost. After the offensive rebound, Howard was scored 2+0. He left the field with two fouls in less than 4 minutes. The protection of defensive rebounds is not as good as that of Lopez, especially the latter. In the NBA, it is really difficult to survive insiders who cannot protect backboards.

In addition to being a super giant on the offensive end, Nowitzki really needs his teammates to "protect" him on the defensive end, but his average rebounds per game in his career is more than 7.5, which is higher than the average power forward , and considering his own attributes of outside play, it can even be said that his rebounding ability is very good. This is why Jiang Mingliang never thought that Yi Jianlian's best template was Nowitzki.

In the first quarter, the Nets lost 8 rebounds, and the conversion rate of the Mavericks' second offense was very high. In the first quarter, they led the Nets by 9 points at 32:23.

In the second quarter, the Mavericks continued to gain the upper hand in the game. Monta Ellis led the rotation to compete with the Nets. After Reggie Jackson, the Nets’ outside substitute players lacked a defender with enough flexibility. Catch it, the core of today's offense is the two outside small guards, let them have all the ball. Ellis's rapid breakthrough really messed up the Nets' defense. What's more, Lopez was fouled for the third time by Ellis' charge carrying a dynamite bag. Killed the Nets.

This is already the third scene when the Nets faced the top insiders and the inside line was deflated. This can of course be said to be a hidden danger for the Nets. However, no one is perfect, and apart from the All-Star Team and the Dream Team, no team is perfect. The good thing is that among the direct competitors for the championship, except for the Spurs who have Duncan inside, the other opponents' inside offensive power is relatively average, not enough to kill the Nets. , the basic data and high-level data are very good, but the decline in personal offensive ability is obvious. He is optimistic about entering the best team. Firstly, the record of the Spurs is good enough, and secondly, it is also because he calculates that the competition is relatively weak. the center position,

Nowitzki and Howard, who returned to the court, pressed the Nets' inside line to fight to death. For a while, the Nets' restricted area was jittery. Facing Nowitzki and Howard, Green suffered a big loss in height, and he really couldn't stand it obviously. At halftime, the Nets trailed by 19 points 46:65, and the disadvantage was a little bigger.

In the case of an unbalanced inside line, in the second half of the game, the generals of the Nets failed to actively adjust their state back in time, and finally lost the game 98:111. In the past six games, they have 3 wins and 3 losses. It can be said that it is quite satisfactory, and the performance is very general.

Jiang Mingliang himself doesn't have much sense of crisis about the recent decline in the team's record. Firstly, the direct competitor, the Heat, also collapsed, and the Nets still have their own advantages. Secondly, players are not machines after all, and it is normal for their state to fluctuate. At this stage, the team also has more rotations to restore the players' physical condition, and the personnel mix is ​​also somewhat unstable. These problems are often not clearly reflected in the playoffs.

With this victory, the Mavericks continued to occupy the fourth place in the Western Conference. Maintaining this ranking, their opponent in the first round of the playoffs is the relatively weak Trail Blazers in the Western Conference, and they are very likely to meet the No. 1 Spurs in the Western Conference in the second round. These are the Mavericks are relatively willing to meet Opponents, this is also a relatively ideal ranking for them.

After watching the game and returning home, Jiang Mingliang also started a video call with Jessica who was far away in Hong Kong City, and continued to control the sales and marketing of BLANC\u0026ECLARE. In the past few days, Jessica has frequently appeared in various flagship stores to promote the product , This period can also be regarded as the bloody period of brand sales. In terms of the scale of light luxury products in trendy brand stores, the sales situation can be described as "hot".

For Jessica, her first step as a fashion brand designer was a success!
