I am so Accurate

This decision came a little suddenly.

Generally speaking, if old Nelson wants to adjust the lineup, he will have targeted training during training.

In this way, the players almost have an idea in mind, and it will be easier for him to accept it after training.

And the adjustment Johnson went on to say is even more unexpected.

The starter he's going to replace is Dampier, and he's replacing Finley!

Down center! Go forward!

In other words, he wants Nowitzki to play center forward!

"Everyone, don't rush to grab offensive rebounds after the offense fails, and retreat to the half court as soon as possible."

Johnson did not explain the adjustment after speaking, but he emphasized one point.

When Johnson left, Nowitzki pulled Sun Hao to complain.

"What does Avery want to do?"

Nowitzki was a little confused.

After more than half of the season's run-in, the Mavericks' starting lineup has a balanced offensive and defensive lineup, which is perfect enough.

Suddenly adjusting the lineup at this time may not be a good thing.

"It should be a defensive response."

Sun Hao didn't understand at first, but he understood what Johnson said before.

It's not that the Mavericks haven't done it before Nowitzki playing center.

When he played against the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals, Nelson tried it in order to speed up and bombard the Spurs.

But at the beginning it was for a better offense, and Johnson seems to be thinking more from the defensive level.

Because he emphasized not to grab offensive rebounds, because once the rebounds fail, it is easy to fall behind.

Since there is no need for offensive rebounds, a center with poor mobility like Dampier will have a limited role on the court.

Simply let Nowitzki play the fifth position directly, and retreat faster.

However, Johnson doesn't seem to want to bombard him either. In doing so, the defense of positional warfare will be a hidden danger.

Of course, different coaches consider issues from different angles.

What the specific effect is, maybe we will only know when we wait until the game.

"That guy Eric is not so easy to talk to, I think he will have an opinion."

Nowitzki nodded after listening, but did not forget to say.

Nowitzki is still very keen, Dampier's words, is the person in history who can say "I am the second center in the West".

Johnson threw him to the bench for no reason, no matter how good the relationship was before, it was useless.

"It should be just this one."

Sun Hao replied, no matter how you look at it, this adjustment is only made for the Nets' defensive counterattack.

That night, the game between the Mavericks and the Nets kicked off at the National Airline Center Arena.

For the Nets, Kidd, Corey Kidders, Jefferson, Martin, Mutombo.

Looking at this starter alone, the Nets' talent this season is actually not bad.

Otherwise, in this year in history, they would not be able to play 2-4 with the Spurs in the finals.

The adjustments made by the Mavericks still surprised the fans.

Nowitzki and Mutombo are facing each other inside, which seems a bit unreliable.

In the opening round of the jump ball, Nowitzki was turned back by Mutombo on the top of his head.

Nowitzki: Avery, I think you're making things difficult for me...

The Nets are head coached by the aforementioned "show.time" member Byron Scott.

Scott's defense has a set, but the offensive level has not been very good.

Fans who have seen him coach the Lakers in the future should have a deep understanding.

But the good thing about the Nets is that they have Kidd as the engine.

After seeing the Mavericks set up a 2-3 zone defense at the beginning of the game, he reached out to signal the wings to pick and roll without the ball.

After a while of cross-running, when he broke through to the basket, he accurately distributed the ball to Kidders at a 45-degree angle on the right.

Kidders, the No. 8 pick of the 96 Golden Generation.

Compared with Iverson and Kobe, his career is relatively mediocre.

However, he has always been an NBA starting-level player, and he has a very good three-pointer.

The forty-five-degree angle of the two wings is also the weak point of the 2-3 zone defense. This ball has a good chance.

Kidders made a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

"Shua!"

The basketball hit the net, and the Nets came out on top.

The Mavericks advanced to the frontcourt, Nowitzki caught the ball inside and hit back, and the golden rooster who turned around made an independent jumper.

Don't tell me, Nowitzki's deterrence in the interior is not weak after he independently practiced this golden rooster in advance.

This is the biggest difference between the Mavericks and the Spurs in the playoffs two years ago. At that time, Nowitzki's offensive end could only stand at the top of the arc to stretch space.

The Nets played another wave of organization in the frontcourt. Unfortunately, Jefferson, who caught the ball this time, failed to throw the ball in from the outside.

This is the offensive talent of this Nets team now, and the lower limit is very low.

but!

Looking back, they also defended the Mavericks' offense!

Their defense has been phenomenal this season, better than the Spurs.

Mutombo protected the defensive rebound, he gave the ball to Kidd, and did not follow the fast break, the four of the Nets turned their heads and rushed forward.

This is where the defensive counterattack is different from the bombardment.

Bombardment means that all members rush forward, but when defending and counterattacking, the center often sticks to its own half.

Then, the players of the Nets quickly discovered that the Mavericks retreated quickly!

Johnson's strategy was exactly the same as Sun Hao's thought. He didn't care about offensive rebounds at all, and retreated immediately.

I have to say, this kind of targeting is in place.

Kidd's second-hand pass was fast enough, but the Nets' defensive counterattack was blocked.

At this time, a camera on the scene showed Johnson, the interim head coach who had just retired and was only 38 years old.

The Mavericks are not only full of talents this season, but also handsome!

Nowitzki used the power of milking cows to block Mutombo, and Bodi Loga protected the defensive rebound through precise judgment.

The Mavericks counterattacked the Nets with a wave of defensive counterattacks.

Mutombo is still in the backcourt, but he just shrinks to the basket.

But the Mavericks' counterattacks often don't forget to go to the basket.

Sun Hao received a long pass from Bodi Loga and made a three-pointer with an emergency stop outside the three-point line on the right.

"Shua!"

Hands up and down!

The Nets still didn't have a wave of offense in the frontcourt.

Looking back, the Mavericks' team basketball began to mobilize the Nets' defense.

Bodi Loga's second pass was passed to Nowitzki, and Nowitzki passed it to Sun Hao, who was running. Sun Hao cheated Kidd with a fake three-pointer, and got inside Navarro's possession. hit!

With the badge, this cast looks silky smooth!

And this wave of the Mavericks' mercury-laden offense made the fans on the scene wet.

The live shots are then given to Johnson.

In the minds of many fans, Johnson's image is really like his nickname "Little General", domineering sideways.

However, Johnson was misunderstood this time.

Johnson in history has also coached the Mavericks. If he is an old cow honey, he should be familiar with him.

He is a head coach who is obviously defensive. When it comes to offense, he was jokingly called 5 tactics by fans at the time.

From the singles of Harris in the first position, to Nowitzki, Terry, Josh Howard, and Jerry Stackhouse on the bench, there are a total of five singles tactics.

In fact, the fundamental reason for the Mavericks' offense on the court is simply because their offense has...become a big deal after a season of running-in.

In other words, Johnson on the offensive end doesn't actually need to do too much command.

The game continued to attack, and the Mavericks began to gradually grasp the situation on the court.

But Johnson obviously has his flaws, he seems to be more ... paranoid.

The Nets' defensive counterattack was basically choked to death, but the offensive position was not bad.

Kidd can always mobilize the Mavericks' zone defense, then find the right opportunity, and send the ball to the teammate with the best opportunity.

Although the grasp of the rest of the Nets is not particularly strong, but after all, they are also NBA starting-level players, and most of those opportunities can be grasped.

This is also another key factor for the Nets to rise in the past two seasons. They are one of the best offensive and defensive teams in the league.

It is precisely because of this that although the Mavericks have mastered the situation on the field, they have not been able to completely open the score.

At this time, let alone professionals, even fans can see that there is a problem with the Mavericks' zone defense.

But even if Harris went up and suggested to Johnson, Johnson didn't mean to change defense at all.

Well, this character is a bit Kobe.

However, no one is perfect, and this did not affect the overall situation of the game.

In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Nets 99-84 at home and won their first victory after the All-Star break.

Nowitzki had 21 points and 11 rebounds, Sun Hao had 17 points and 6 assists, and Bodi Loga had 15 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

For the Nets, Kidd had a triple-double with 18 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, and Kenyon Martin had a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds.

Johnson ushered in a victory in his first game coaching the Mavericks.

And the opponent they defeated was the second-ranked Nets in the Eastern Conference.

This debut can be described as full marks.

The only regret is probably that the fans at the scene did not eat burritos.

...

Anna's condition is still very dangerous, the old Nelson did not come back for a while, and Johnson continued his coaching career with the Mavericks.

Capture the Eagles, break the Pistons, defeat the 76ers, and kill the Hornets.

Johnson gave the Mavericks a wave of 5 consecutive victories in the All-Star Game!

This is a strong start.

This is the same as Luke Wharton's temporary command of the Warriors in history, operating with a full-scale show and showing everyone's face.

Moreover, just like Walton created the dead five, Johnson brought the Mavericks defensive tactics that the old Nelson did not have.

"The Dallasites are ready for a championship."

After the game, ESPN used such comments to describe the game.

Even the absence of Nelson can't prevent the Mavericks from continuing to win, then this team is really superior.

However, under the winning streak, there are still some problems within the Mavericks.

The point of the problem is that Nowitzki was worried about Dampier.

When Nowitzki and Sun Hao were chatting, Sun Hao said that Dampier's substitute was only temporary.

But it turned out not to be like that.

After taking down the Nets, Johnson seemed happy with Nowitzki's lineup at center.

And the subsequent winning streak made him very sure of this.

As a result, Dampier, the center who was acquired in the Nash trade this summer to deal with O'Neal, has seen his playing time plummet.

"I don't know what the team is thinking, if they just put me on the bench, what's the point of trading me to Dallas?"

After the game against the Hornets, Dampier, who only played 8 minutes, finally broke out. He said such words in front of the media.

This is also the first time in the season, the Mavericks broke out this kind of internal disharmony.

Dampier's character is one aspect, but Johnson so compressed his playing time, it is not very good.

After this dissonant voice appeared, the Mavericks then lost the game against the Pacers.

After Dirk Nowitzki fell into a situation where he was fighting inside with O'Neal, his performance was obviously abnormal.

In fact, although the Mavericks have been winning streak, but Nowitzki's overall data is down.

A very simple reason, when playing the fourth position, Nowitzki can take advantage of Dampier's cover to come out and catch the ball.

That's been one of his main ways of scoring in the past.

But after playing center, he is unlikely to let Bodi Loga help him block a center like O'Neal, and there is a high probability that Bodi Loga will not be able to stop him.

In other words, Nowitzki's scoring methods in the fifth position are obviously less than those in the fourth position.

As a result, the Mavericks' five-game winning streak was ended by the Pacers.

The Mavericks are now receiving unprecedented media attention. After the game, Kenny Smith also expressed his views on TNT's program.

"You can't let Dirk play the fifth position all the time. He can't compete with O'Neal, let alone Shaq."

Smith's suggestion is on point, and that's why Cuban didn't hesitate to send Nash to Dampier in the deal.

But Johnson, still did not make adjustments to the lineup.

Then, in the Mavericks' game against the Magic, they won again.

Nowitzki appeared more in the mid-to-long distance position, but Gooden couldn't get out, and was cast to death by Nowitzki.

That's Johnson's tweak, and it's proven to work.

When the reporter interviewed after the game, Johnson also straightened his waist again.

"We don't need to fight against them. I think our opponents have to consider how to defend Dirk. Dirk can attack from the inside or pull out their big men. This will make the opponent fall into difficulty in choosing."

This sentence was Johnson's explanation, but it also caused an uproar.

If you use one word to describe it, Rashomon is perfect.

Because you feel like Kenny Smith hit the nail on the head, but Johnson seems to be right.

There's never just one way to win in basketball, and no one knows if it's right or wrong until the season is over.

But one thing is certain, Dampier's dissatisfaction is getting stronger.

This looks like a ticking time bomb for the Mavericks.

Just when Dallas fans were getting more and more worried, the good news finally came.

Anna's condition has eased a lot, and old Nelson is back.

ps: I don't know what's wrong with me, and the hospital can't find anything, just dizziness, the same as last time, hey!

ps2: At the end of the month, if you ask for a monthly pass, you will not be issued a single chapter. Thank you brothers in advance!
