Four Hundred and Four. Things Seem to Be Upside Down!
The Grizzlies were having a post-match meeting, and the Mavericks had a meeting immediately after returning to the hotel, but it was just a meeting with the coaching staff.
Coach Carlisle feels hopeful!
Tonight... In fact, in terms of overall tactics, the Mavericks basically didn't play tactics, that is, Nowitzki played singles, attracted flankers, and even attracted the disoriented Grizzlies before receiving the ball when they were stuck in the position With the team's flanking attack, Kidd took the opportunity to connect other people's offenses and got 13 assists in a single game!
But Coach Carlisle's tactics...basically didn't work out, relying entirely on Kidd's ability to control the team's offense.
In other words, winning this game has nothing to do with tactics, and wins by three points.
Nowitzki's explosion, Kidd's ability to control...and the most important thing is that because of Nowitzki's explosion, the Mavericks' offense is completely different from usual. Kidd's series of offenses made the Grizzlies hard to defend. Advantage beat the Grizzlies.
Now is an opportunity for the Mavericks!
A chance to turn around!
Whether Nowitzki has really returned to his pre-2007 playoff form is questionable.
Even if Nowitzki really recovers, Nowitzki has not been integrated into the team system due to various reasons, which is also a big problem for the Mavericks.
You can't just point to Nowitzki's singles and Kidd as an on-court coach to deal with the offense temporarily, right?
That's too easy to target.
But... the most important thing now is not whether Nowitzki can immediately integrate into the team system, but whether Nowitzki has really broken the psychological barrier. This is a headache for the Grizzlies. Speaking is more important.
After discussing with members of the coaching staff, Coach Carlisle made a decision.
We must use Nowitzki's performance tonight as an opportunity to help Nowitzki regain his confidence in the playoffs!
Nowitzki's strength is completely fine. In the past five years, he has played 4 first teams and 1 second team. This year's regular season performance is still the best among power forwards in the league.
It’s just that there are psychological obstacles. In the past two years, Nowitzki has a second team and a first team in the past two years. He also led the team to play a good record in the regular season. He won 50+ games for two consecutive years, but lost early in the playoffs.
If Nowitzki can get rid of the mental block,
With this style of play, it's no problem for him to maintain his peak period for another year or two!
Coach Carlisle understands that they have no hope of winning the championship this year. At the center position, they meet Gasol and Bynum...not to mention these two, Odom can hang their center.
Then the things to do are very simple.
Rearrange tactics around Nowitzki singles!
Even if it is going back to the singles tactics before 2007, we must find a way to make Nowitzki play with confidence!
...
When the Mavericks coaching staff was having a team coaching staff meeting, their head star and the protagonist of their discussions, Nowitzki, was talking with Kidd.
Tonight was special for Nowitzki.
Nowitzki likes to drink, but he usually doesn't drink during the season, but when he returned to the hotel tonight, Kidd came with a bottle of red wine, and he drank a little.
Kidd poured three glasses and fell on the sofa in Nowitzki's room while talking drunk.
Nowitzki came to the balcony to blow the cool night breeze, recalling the scene of tonight's game.
Before coming to Memphis, he was thinking about the future.
He has plans to retire after playing this year. He will be 32 years old in the summer. Professional sports have stagnated, and the national team is not as strong as it was at the beginning of the century. Back then...they were the third in the world! He won a bronze medal at the World Championships in 2002.
Now, their national team can't even make it to the top eight in Europe, and they can't get out of the group stage of the European Championship.
Combining various factors, he felt that his basketball career could choose to come to an end.
I have made enough money, except for the unattainable championship...
However, the day before yesterday afternoon, Nowitzki, who came to Memphis, listened to an opera he loves, and the words in the inspirational opera allowed him to get rid of the confusion that shrouded his career.
In tonight's game, he really took it as a test of whether he has the ability to compete in the playoffs!
Battier was about to poke his eye, but he still wanted to shoot. He knew that if he didn't perform well and the opponent played so well tonight, they would be screwed.
If he makes a shot and fails to make a shot, it is definitely not a good performance, but it is definitely not a good performance if he does not make a shot. He knows how important he is to the team.
That being the case, it might as well vote!
Then, he succeeded!
This game is especially critical for Nowitzki!
Back in the living room of the suite, he poured a glass of red wine and took a sip. Nowitzki still felt weird. Germans should drink beer.
But so be it!
"From now on, I won't drink beer, I will drink red wine from now on!"
Nowitzki feels it's time to change himself!
...
...
The coaching staff of both teams are working overtime for current needs or for the future.
On Sun Ce's side, after attending the team meeting, he carried out the Nash training method, and finally got rid of his uneasiness about the situation that year by training himself to death.
Back in the apartment, he turned on the air conditioner, took a bath and soaked in the bathtub, Sun Ce took a deep breath under the obstruction of the water pressure.
"Fight Against Nuo Tianwang (b):
Goal: To win Game 4 of the Mavericks series and hold Dirk Nowitzki to lead the team to a tie.
Event Reward: Nowitzki technology randomly draws cards.
Failure Penalty: None. "
Looking at the description of this event, Sun Ce thought: "The anti-war Nuo Tianwang... Do you want to defeat the anti-war Nuo Tianwang, or complete the anti-war when Nuo Tianwang is powerful? But Nowitzki is really powerful! When he got rid of the psychological barrier, he was invincible!
However, the previous sweeping reward of the bull-slaying bear was put here.
This time it's two events put together, right? If the fourth game is lost, this event will fail, and the previous event will also fail..."
Sun Ce began to soak in the bathtub, thinking about the current incident and the current situation.
It is said that the most inspirational place is in the bathroom, and Sun Ce feels that this is really the case.
Sun Ce thought about the changes in the team and his own thinking since the playoffs.
Now, whether it's the media, the fans, their teams, or the players themselves... it seems like it's a sin to lose.
As if they deserved to win!
This is wrong!
Before the start of the playoffs, it was clearly agreed that reaching the playoffs has exceeded expectations. If they can win the first round, it is a profit, and it doesn't matter if they lose.
How come it's the other way around now?
Sure enough, when the thinking is not clear and the pressure is high, it is time to toss the body and use up the extra energy, and the thinking becomes clear!
