Chapter 1312 1311. The winning streak ends in the opening game, we need to become a better leader (1010 please vote for me!)
Falling behind by three points in the first quarter is not a big problem. .
Liu Mang only played 8 minutes in the first quarter. Coach Kruger rarely replaced Liu Mang at the eighth minute of the first quarter, allowing Jason Terry to play with Tracy McGrady for a few minutes in the first quarter. Jason Terry, who couldn't control himself, went up and made a wild move, competing with Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Crawford and Nowitzki to see who was more wild.
But with an offensive rating of 99, Nowitzki, who may be the most offensive power forward in NBA history, performed so explosively.
Watching Nowitzki's 17-point performance in a single quarter, Liu Mang was surprised! The condition is great!
Liu Mang himself was also in good condition. He took six shots in the first eight minutes, with a hit rate of 66.6%...
When it was time to rest between sessions, Liu Mang thought about it and roughly understood what was going on.
Nowitzki, like Liu Mang, played in the World Championships in the summer, and Nowitzki fought hard in every game. Without fighting, the German team had no hope of winning. So when Nowitzki returned to Dallas and started training,
Just like in the original time and space, Odom joined the Dream Nine team in 2010 and played as the starting center. He was in excellent form in the 10-11 season. James in the 12-13 season started the season in far better form after playing in the London Olympics. After Kobe played in the London Olympics in 2012, he had the highest offensive performance of his career in the 12-13 season, especially at the beginning of the season when his shooting percentage was as high as 50%. Nowitzki also exploded at the beginning of this season!
After Liu Mang finished the first quarter, he also discovered this problem. His start was better than he expected!
It's not that my ability has become stronger, but that I immediately enter the best state at the beginning of the season.
Liu Mang played 8 minutes in the first quarter and scored 9 points on 4 of 6 shots. He felt very hot.
Nowitzki's side finished the first quarter with 17 points on 7 of 11 shots, and his hand was also very hot.
Liu Mang probably also understood why the Mavericks were so fierce in the regular season in the original time and space, and Nowitzki was so sluggish in the playoffs. Nowitzki was also a problem for the Mavericks in the playoffs early on.
James' 12-13 playoffs were the first time since his third grade that his playoff data and efficiency were lower than those in the regular season, and much lower. Although the Heat won the championship, the Heat had no playoff performance since the Eastern Conference Finals. He was dominant. He was dominant in the first two rounds because the opponent was really weak.
Odom was expected to be able to guard Nowitzki in the playoffs of the 10-11 season, but Odom had the worst playoff performance of his career...
Entering the state too early will definitely have an impact on the playoffs, and perhaps the biggest impact is physical fitness.
But... this is not important to Liu Mang. He has no problem in this regard. What is important now is how to stop Nowitzki?
Double team?
It's unreliable. The ideal state of singles tactics is that if the star player scores two, the opponent will start double-teaming, and they can distribute the ball. The four outsiders of the Mavericks are all open shooting masters.
If it can't be stopped, Liu Mang is also a little itchy by Tracy McGrady's aggressive play this year, so let's start!
…
Coach Kruger had a headache when he saw Mitaka start to mess up in the first game, and the tactics he arranged did not work out at all.
Mitaka was so excited that he seemed to have forgotten that his teammates were no longer their former teammates!
Battier and David Lee, who rotated together with Rasheed Wallace, didn't know how to play. What about running? Or rebounding? Their offensive rebounds are not good!
Rasheed Wallace is willing to compete for boards, but he has never been a good rebounder. It's okay if there is another big man blocking the position. Besides, he is old and beautiful. He is another year older and not as cool as before. .
So Coach Kruger could only replace two big men who averaged 10+ rebounds per game...
It's not like Marion has never played rough ball before. During the Suns' seven-second offense, he was one of the two core players inside, but he has never experienced such a play from his teammates!
Both double-teams were treated as open shots!
In the past in the West, Marion often played against the Lakers. It was already strange to the guy who was No. 8 at that time. There were three co-writers with the Hawks?
How did this team win three consecutive championships? I don’t understand!
Under double-teaming, Mitaka didn't pass the ball, and took turns wandering around in pairs!
None of this is the key. The key is that the efficiency can only be said to be okay. The Mavericks did a good job of double-teaming and switching defenses.
More importantly, he couldn't guard the Mavericks!
McGrady couldn't guard Crawford. McGrady and Marion both tried and couldn't guard Nowitzki.
The Eagles were forced to double attack and use high-speed rotation defense, but the Mavericks showed their form in the first quarter... and couldn't stop it!
…
Lost!
For the first time in four years, the Eagles lost their season opener!
Liu Mang made 11 of 20 shots and scored 30 points, and he was in good shape; McGrady made 9 of 22 shots and scored 31 points, and he was in pretty good shape; Jason Terry made 7 of 16 shots and scored 19 points, three Eagles combined 80 points, very violent, and the Eagles also scored 114 points.
But they lost, 114 to 119. The Eagles lost to the Mavericks in their first game!
The Hawks have always had hope of winning, and the Three Eagles also played well. The Mavericks went all out, and Nowitzki was in excellent form, but they were unable to completely widen the point difference because Liu Mang was in really good form in singles.
But Liu Mang's efficiency declined little by little, and he could not make continuous contributions like before.
McGrady's efficiency declined a lot as he shot. If he hadn't made a lot of free throws, he wouldn't have scored 31 points.
The more important key is that he didn't defend!
In the first game of the season, the opponent scored 119 points!
It was very exciting when playing, but with 1 minute left, they were 11 points behind. Liu Mang woke up and scored two three-pointers to increase his score to 30 points, but he could only narrow the gap to 5 points. In the end, he lost to the Mavericks regretfully.
Nowitzki made 16 of 31 shots, which was equal to Liu Mang in efficiency, but he scored 42 points, and he led the whole team!
...
Big problem!
It seemed that the game was evenly matched. The Hawks were only 11 points behind at most, and with another minute or two, a comeback was possible.
Unlike the previous lineup, Liu Mang failed to lead his teammates to fully play their abilities!
This is the first time that the Hawks have not integrated into the team immediately after recruiting a player in the true sense!
This is the most important issue. The important thing is that this new lineup did not integrate as quickly as the previous signings.
Losing the first game is not important. What is important is that after the game, we summarized the game and found many problems.
From the perspective of talent, even the Lakers with three giant players, Kobe, Yao Ming, and Gasol, are not necessarily better than Liu Mang and McGrady plus Marion and Kwame Brown.
But this time Liu Mang failed to bring out the talents of his teammates.
The talents are different, but the mentality is still the same as before, and the playing style needs to be changed again.
This time it was not Liu Mang who took the initiative to change, but the first time he accepted the challenge and really changed because of his teammates!
After losing, Liu Mang immediately understood the team's problems. When playing the game, it seemed that there was always a chance to overtake the score. Liu Mang played very calmly and patiently. He only took 20 shots and scored 30 points and 6 assists.
Liu Mang found many problems after the game. If you lose the game, you have to summarize it well.
Fortunately, it was exposed in the first game, and Liu Mang could find a solution in time!
After the team meeting, Liu Mang muttered to himself as he watched his teammates leave: "Is this the so-called opportunity for transformation?"
