But facing the Supersonics team's rogue-like playing style, there is nothing to do!

The tactical response is not enough to break the current style of the Supersonics!

The Kings can beat the Supersonics in the second round, but it is not the Kings' offense that the league-leading team is the best team, but the explosion of the star.

The original Pistons' Five Tigers in Time and Space, in terms of defense, may be as good as this Supersonics team. The Pistons' external defense is stronger, and the Supersonics' internal defense is stronger.

The Pistons team, the peak playoffs in 2004 and 2005, only lost in the 2005 finals. The reason for the loss was not the team, but the demon sword killed randomly in that final.

But now, the Demon Sword is in the hands of the Supersonics themselves...

...

What is the best way to defend the title?

Silver Fox has completed the title defense once as the head coach himself, and also as the coaching staff consultant.

He found that nothing else mattered, the most important thing was stability.

After the 1996-97 season, two important players, Magic and Barkley, retired, which forced the Lakers to adjust their playing style from beginning to end in the defending year.

But after thinking about it, I found that I wanted to raise the team's combat power limit... This is impossible. I had already won the championship at that time. How can I improve it? What is the standard?

Later, the Silver Fox chose to seek stability in combat power throughout the season... and then succeeded!

This time I tried it again with the Supersonics and it was successful again.

So this past summer, the Supersonics coaching team mainly focused on Silver Fox's ideas and made adjustments to the style of playing throughout the season.

The process was not much the same as I imagined. I originally thought that 50 wins passed, 55 wins were perfect, but I got 65 wins...

But the results are great.

Now that the first quarter is over, the Supersonics feels stable.

Regardless of whether the Mavericks will climax later, they will be stable.

An outbreak is always a low-probability event. Even if you lose one or two games, as long as the opponent does not break out in more games, they will definitely win this round of series.

And they played better in the first quarter than they thought.

The Supersonics are ready to fall behind and enter the second quarter. Just like when playing against the Kings, in order to suppress the rhythm and strengthen the confrontation in the first quarter, the Supersonics' own offense is actually worse than the Kings, and now it is the idea of ​​execution.

As a result, Zhang Hao scored 11 points in 10 minutes! He led the way in the first quarter!

That would be even more stable!

However, sometimes, even if you make enough preparations, even if you seem to have the right time, place and people, you will still have unexpected situations.

For example, the Mavericks also fought to the defensive...

If you change the coach, you may not think about this solution, such as Kings coach Adelman.

But Don Nelson is a magical coach.

A mad scientist has done a lot of things.

When it comes to organizational strikers, people think of Pippen, Grant Hill and others.

But in fact, the proposer of the concept of organizing forwards and the first coach to train such players was Nelson, the Bucks coach at the time in the 1970s.

Bucks legend Marquis Johnson is the first-generation forward under the mad scientist. As a 201-centimeter-high forward, he has averaged 4+ assists per game in three seasons.

In the early 1980s, Pat Riley held multiple superstars and proposed offensive basketball, playing the showtime dynasty.

Old Nelson was very envious, but he didn't have as many stars as he did with magicians. He couldn't figure out the way of playing the star, and then he created a running and bombardment.

If you still want to play, you can create a poor version.

And the current Mavericks are a world of difference from the Bucks and Warriors, which were both miserable by the old Nelson back then.

This is the third highest-paid team in the league this season!

This season, only the Trail Blazers and Knicks have higher salaries than the Mavericks, and the Lakers and 76ers have to rank behind the Mavericks.

Moreover, the Mavericks' lineup is completely different from the other four teams in the top five. Those four teams, even the Lakers, have several players who are already very bad now and have very high salaries.

But the Mavericks, even after winning the Supersonics last season, went to the Mavericks to get a full middle-class Avery Johnson for two years, is still in a good position!

The salary is high, but it is not a mess, so the Mavericks can reach the Western Conference Finals.

It is not only good at attacking and defense against the team, but also about balanced offense and defense.

If you want, the Mavericks can run and fight again, and if you want, the Mavericks can also fight to the death...

In the second quarter, Old Nelson replaced the combination of white chocolate, Laga Bell, Walter Williams, Edondo Nahura, and Reeve Lafrenz.

Jason Williams, a white chocolate, was different from the original time and space transformation by the old coach Hubby Brown in the 2003-2004 season. Who is old Nelson? How could he bear the toss and struggles when seeing a genius like White Chocolate?

Genius is always different. Old Nelson is a genius, and white chocolate is also a genius. White chocolate's defense is really good. Although it has not been noticed, White Chocolate's defense has been first-class in the past two years, basically reaching the level of the Grizzlies in the late stage and the Heat in the early stage in time and space.

Laga Bale, a defensive evil man who is close to the top level, had the act of wanting to offend Zhang Hao, but he ended up hurting himself... This is not important, his defensive ability is very good.

Walter Williams, a veteran of 1992, is a bit like Bathir. He scored peak data in the rookie season, and became more and more mediocre as he played later. He became an all-around role player who can defend, shoot and pass. Now in the Mavericks, he can bring experience and leadership skills in the locker room.

Edondo Nahura, a super coolie Latino power forward from Mexico, is famous for being swung by Ma Long in a rookie season, and then getting up and going to fight with Ma Long... and then being slapped down by Ma Long.

Malone missed one game in the 200-01 season because of this game.

Brave and blood are the advantages of Edondo Nahura.

Lafrenz, with good defensive enthusiasm and strong blocking ability...

The Mavericks' lineup is a big family!

Moreover, since the Mavericks can send out such a lineup in the first game, it can be seen that Old Nelson is prepared!

Being able to defeat the Lakers is definitely not a casual thing. Old Nelson has the opportunity to win the championship and play, and it is definitely impossible to put it first. Winning is the most important thing.

Old Nelson had expected this situation long ago!

And according to the actual situation, Old Nelson made excellent rotation adjustments and defensive strategy changes in the second quarter!

As a result, the situation suddenly became similar to the situation in the original 2005 finals.

The Supersonics play defensively and rely on hard strength to deal with the game.

But the Mavericks kept adjusting on the defensive end, and then put Nowitzki back to the basket and scored on the offensive end according to the situation, and put Finley or Van Exel back on the field and rushed back to the field...

More than 8 minutes before the second quarter, the Mavericks scored 14-9!

33 to 30, a surprising situation occurred, and the Mavericks overtook the Supersonics by 3 points with defense!

Fortunately, in the last three minutes of the second quarter, Zhang Hao scored 8 points alone, scoring an 8-4 wave, helping the Supersonics team take the lead again.

After halftime, with Zhang Hao's 23 points in the half, the Supersonics led the Mavericks by 38-37 and entered the second half by 1 point!

...

The wise man may make a mistake, but this happened to the Supersonics this time.

Not only the coaching staff, but no one of the players expected the Mavericks to have such tactical preparations. Combined with the historical top-level on-the-spot adaptability, the current situation is beyond the control of the Supersonics!

The next game may be re-taken, because the Supersonics did not prepare for such changes that the Mavericks might have. This time they played one game and they will have experience next time.

But according to this trend, the pace of the entire Western Conference Final may become uncontrollable!

The Mavericks' lineup depth is so good, it's better than the eight-player rotation of the Kings. The strongest lineup may not be as strong as the Kings, but the depth is really good.

This allows Old Nelson, a coach who dares to think and has outstanding abilities to make very good adjustments!

In the third quarter, Zhang Hao scored 14 points in a single quarter, but still failed to fully drive the team's offense. The team scored 22 points in a single quarter, while the Mavericks scored 23 points in a third quarter.

After the third quarter, the two teams tied at 60!

The Supersonics now have a feeling of "eating bad consequences". They have made the rhythm like this, and their goal is to compete for the stars. However, Nowitzki, Van Exel, Finley's singles scored in turn, and they performed well. On the contrary, Kassel, Artest and others did not play well, so they could only rely on Zhang Hao to support them.

However, everyone else in the game now has different ideas from Zhang Hao.

The other people's idea was that the supersonic team could only be supported by Zhang Hao.

And Zhang Hao...
Chapter completed!
