I Don’t Want to be the Boss

After entering the tactical meeting, the players also put away the mentality they want to act in front of the camera and focus on preparing for the battle.

After the two assistants explained the Mavericks' recent changes, the Grizzlies players felt the pressure on the game tonight.

They want to win!

There are Yao Ming, Sun Ce, Yi Jianlian, and hundreds of millions of people in Asia alone watch the game, which is larger than their national population in the United States, and football in Europe is in the winter break. There is Nowitzki, and ratings in Europe. It would also be good, who doesn’t want to win with so many people watching their games?

However, as professional players, knowing that the Mavericks' adjustments have been effective, they know that the game tonight will be very difficult.

The opponent must also want to win this game!

The reasons for wanting to win are exactly the same.

Their Grizzlies record is better, they are 22 wins and 5 losses, five more wins than the Mavericks.

But the record does not completely represent strength!

In the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs last season, the Celtics were a dozen wins worse than the Cavaliers, but the Celtics can abuse the Cavaliers by 32 points!

Unlike the Grizzlies, a team that has just emerged and has the opportunity to win from top to bottom, every game will be different. The Mavericks, a multi-year team with a minimum of 50+ wins in the regular season, often have to adjust to this demand. , Greater than the need for a few regular season wins.

For example, if Yao Ming played 23 minutes, did he always go for 23 minutes?

Of course impossible, Yao Ming only averaged 11.2 shots per game in these 11 games, averaging 6.5 goals per game, and averaging 6 free throws per game. That is to say, threw 13-15 times per game, including At least one quarter caused the opponent's shooting foul.

And after watching some video clips, the Grizzlies players learned that the Mavericks turned into a pinch stage in Nowitzki. Yao Ming made a lot of shots and could receive the ball in a very comfortable position after moving through a small range. Hit height directly.

Even in many games, Yao Ming played very relaxed, not a few singles, the whole team revolved around his ball dealer, height talent, feel and cooperation.

The key is Nowitzki. This is a player who averaged 24 points per game at the beginning of the season. He is currently averaging 22 points per game. Recently, he has averaged 17 points per game. It’s not that he can’t do it. It’s just a team. demand.

The tactical meeting and tactical arrangements, the coaching staff made detailed preparations, it seems there is a way to deal with the Mavericks.

But there is a good saying-all tactical plans are perfect.

You have to watch the live operation.

After the 9:40 tactical meeting, the players made a simple warm-up preparation and started two tactical training classes at 10 o'clock.

Time is tight, but it can only be so.

Yesterday and the day before yesterday was a good preparation time, but there are always a lot of things that need time. For the team to expand its popularity or improve the cohesion of local fans, the concert is very necessary. There is this demand in all aspects, and the player itself is the biggest Beneficiaries.

Regarding the fact that the players have to accompany their family members, letting the players bring their families to Dallas yesterday, there must be no way to train on Christmas Eve.

Life is always bigger than basketball.

After the training, the team members returned to the locker room to take a shower. The rest of the time was until 3:30 in the afternoon.

In the final analysis, it's just a regular season, what's the big deal of losing a regular season, there is a big chance of shutting down next summer.

It is the most important thing to test the Mavericks' strength. It is still uncertain who is the best team to play for the Lakers and Bulls. The long regular season, some have time to adjust.

It’s not a big deal for coach Hollins, but the opponent is the Mavericks, and many of the team are playing Christmas for the first time. They are obsessed with this, but for coach Hollins, it is right Too.

Unlike opponents who are unlikely to meet in other playoffs, playing the Mavericks certainly wins better, but for strategic reasons, he would rather play anxiously to push the Mavericks to the limit to see how strong the opponent is. Even if you lose, you don’t want to win easily if the opponent is in a bad situation.

For the Mavericks, a regular-season win or loss is also not tight.

Coach Hollins really wants to do something in the playoffs, at least touch the floor of the division finals!

Coach Hollins said to the players before the dissolution: "We all hope to win this game, but we don't have to bear too much burden, Christmas I hope we can play this game with a relaxed mind, Christmas, happy That’s the most important thing, by the way, the New Year is coming soon.

"Poof..." Sun Ce couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

The words that Coach Hollins said earlier did not ease Sun Ce's mentality. After all, it was the main Christmas battle in China.

But that happy new year poked his smile.

Looking at Sun Ce, who was fascinated by laughter, his teammates were speechless, and coach Hollins was even more speechless. He just wanted to make the players easy. Who knew that Sun Ce actually laughed so much.

Although he Hollins doesn't value the winning or losing of this game itself, it is the first Christmas battle in the history of the team. His coach is training!

"Does the future of our team all rely on such a second-handed player? How do I feel my coaching career is dim?"

...

...

After returning to the hotel for lunch at noon, Sun Ce and his teammates and their families gathered in the boss's room.

In the first Christmas war in team history, Robert Pella naturally wanted to see the scene. The biggest room in this hotel was the one with a heated swimming pool. Today he gave up the room and let the players and them Family members have a Christmas party inside.

The women and children set up the venue with the help of hotel staff and had to spend Christmas anyway after the game.

Most players such as Sun Ce gathered in a smaller living room to watch the game live.

At two o'clock in the central time, the Magic and Celtics Christmas opener kicked off.

It may be that he is partnering with the Double Bears in the NBA. Sun Ce feels that Howard is just the same. When Gasol Jr. was fat last year, although he could not move Howard, the top defensive awareness of the basket, Gasol Jr. Do you want it?

Although Gasol Jr.'s low-post defense efficiency has declined this year, the team's defense has become stronger and I don't think Howard is too difficult to deal with.

But, now watching Howard play the Celtics...

Sun Ce finally knows why the original Howard Magic team was only fourth in the East in the 10-11 season in time and space, but almost got the MVP.

Except for a few centers, Howard can't deal with it, fight other people, the peak Howard is playing like it!

In the first quarter, Howard took a top salary data of 8 points and 8 rebounds, and took two blocks in a single quarter, once fanned Rondo and once went to the outside to give Ray Allen a big cap.

Sporting ability, defensive ability, rebounding... Howard, who did not suffer from a bad injury such as a back injury, has his own defensive system, the best defensive player in Lianzhuang, the strongest defensive player in the new century... etc. , Not blowing!

Garnett + Perkins' inner combination is very strong, but was destroyed by Howard!

The main reason is the decline of Garnett. The Celtics defense is still very good this year, but it is not as good as the Bobcats like last season. The Bobcats’ defensive efficiency last year and this year’s gray The Bears are similar, but this year's Grizzlies defensive efficiency is a lot off the Celtics.

Sun Ce seemed to see a picture of the 2009 Eastern Conference Cavaliers thrashed by magic.

Although the overall Magic are not as strong as that finals team, the Celtics of the oldest three led by Rondo are not as strong as the Cavaliers in 2009. The Celtics are old and have no shots. , But Howard is at the peak of his career.

The analysis is correct, but it still looks amazing. Last year's final decision, the Celtics almost swept the Magic. This year has only passed one year. Garnett's defense dwarfs in front of Howard.

One is at the peak, a peak injury in 2009 has passed the peak.

The most important thing is that the O'Neal used by the Celtics to deal with Howard was injured in a few games this season. O'Neal cannot play such a cheerful game in the Christmas War.

They had high hopes for Perkins. When Garnett was in good shape for the past three years, he looked very good, but when Garnett fell, he found that Perkins was not easy to use, and it was not as good as O'Neal.

Sun Ce watched the game and remembered that this season the Celtics played well because of O'Neal Jr., and traded Perkins Garnett to the Thunder for Jeff Green. I don't know about it Will not happen.

Howard is getting happier, and his performance is getting better and better. He scored 28 points, 22 rebounds, 5 blocks, 2 steals and 5 turnovers. He played today, he was useless to cut sharks, 12 free throws and 6 free throws. To score, the Celtics would rather not cut the shark.

In the end, the Magic defeated the Celtics 107 to 88 easily and won this Christmas war.

This game is Howard's solo dance, just like the Magic killed the Cavaliers in 2009, Howard made a splash.

After watching the game between the Magic and the Celtics, and received the notice from the coaching staff, Sun Ce and others sat on the team bus to trigger the Mavericks Arena.

They can't watch the next game between the Bulls and Thunder.

It's a shame that I can't see two of the three young stars of the younger generation fighting, but the Grizzlies are more excited.

In less than three hours, it was their Christmas war!

The first Christmas war in team history has set a new record in team history!

At the training ground of the visiting team of the American Airlines Center, there was a warm-up live broadcast of the court station, and a group of people took it seriously.

After Sun Ce's stretching, massage and other work are done, he is ready to try his shot.

Randolph might have come to practice next to Sun Ce to rub the lens. Even if he rubbed the lens, Sun Ce saw that this guy had actually changed his shooting action, and deliberately moved closer to the standard posture, even if Randolph shot a Later, he said to Sun Ce: "Lord, we will work together tonight, the Grizzlies will win!"

Sun Ce looked at Randolph silently, looked at it for a while, and said: "Zac, our country does not speak English~www.wuxiaspot.com~ On the first day of rework, I am a little busy, wait a moment, go to squeeze the subway home .

Say three sentences.

As long as I am allowed to write, I will continue to write. As a writer, I still need to have professional ethics. Writing basketball is not because of the NBA, but because I grew up watching Yao Ming basketball when I was a boy. That era is a memory of youth.

Second, don’t look at the NBA. It’s not how good the NBA was in the past, but it’s been a long time since I watched the NBA.

Third, I love my country. I decided to support everything unconditionally. I was not allowed to write anything about the NBA. Professional ethics is very important, but above that, there is the country.

Above, when the next chapter is written, it will be deleted here,
