After two days of adjustments, the Mavericks and Knicks moved to the American Airlines Center in Dallas for the G3 game.

At this stage of the series, neither side has any backup. Barea's "pressure" on Curry is the last life-saving straw that Carlisle figured out. In the G3 game, Carlisle also let Curry play all aspects.

The suppressed Kidd served as the "pseudo starter". He came off the court for 90 seconds and took a rest. Barea came up and partnered with Terry to attack Curry together.

Barea and Terry are all players with some "nerve knife" attributes. Most "twitchy" players have a problem. The harder the battle, the harder it is to stabilize and continue to pump. This is also the case with Ginobili.

The reason why his reputation is much better than that of Terry, JR Smith, and Crawford. The Pampas Vultures are the true "20-minute Jordans."

As a team, you will take care of everything; although you may not score points when you feel bad, your excellent organizational skills will at least have no side effects.

However, after his harsh words after the G1 game, Terry went out of his way. After scoring 24 points in the previous game, he continued to play the role of an "outside sharp knife" in this game. Facing Curry's defense, he frequently succeeded in singles.

Hitting shots one after another.

Curry couldn't restrain Terry on the defensive end, and he used his strength to compete with his opponents on the offensive end. No one on the Mavericks could stop Curry's scoring.

Curry took on the main offensive responsibility, and James was arranged to provide more assistance on the defensive end; at the same time, he conserved his energy and exerted force in the transition period to support the team's offense.

However, when they came to the home court of the Mavericks, the referee appropriately favored the Mavericks in terms of the scale of the call. Chandler and Haywood's defensive actions in the interior were endorsed by the referee. After James made several breakthroughs and failed to attack the basket,

There was some shrinkage, but the Mavericks counterattacked.

The "connection period" that was supposed to be the Knicks' dominant situation was actually taken by the Mavericks. Ke Yan expressed dissatisfaction with James. The latter immediately argued that the referee's call was not conducive to his performance. In turn, he believed that Ke Yan should adjust the lineup and arrange

His teammates opened up the space and choked Ke Yan hard.

The further the playoffs progressed, the less Ke Yan dared to use pure shooters like Korver and Cassby. He knew too well how powerless these pure shooters were under high-intensity confrontation. Unexpectedly, James was completely aware of this.

Instead of doing this, he put the blame for his poor performance on Ke Yan's head, and even said such words to shirk responsibility.

This minor disturbance that occurred on the Knicks bench was not recorded by the outside world, but it shook the morale of the Knicks. After all, other teammates would not be happy to hear that James was dissatisfied with the team's lineup.

Seizing the opportunity when the Knicks' morale was shaken, the Mavericks began to exert their strength. Nowitzki made sudden shots from inside and outside, scoring 14 points and two three-pointers in the second half of the second quarter.

At halftime, the Knicks were 15 points behind 47 to 62, and were suppressed by the Mavericks on both offense and defense.

A 15-point point difference is not easy to chase for an older team like the Mavericks, but it is not an impossible task for an epic offensive team like the Knicks. However, at this moment, the first thing Ke Yan needs to solve is the morale problem.

.

Players can be chaotic, but coaches cannot; players can play with emotions, but the coach must remain calm at all times. This is his responsibility in this position.

In the second half of the game, Ke Yan adjusted his tactics to stabilize his defense, and used more of the "Zhanku pick-and-roll" on the offensive end to maximize Curry's outside threat and James' impact. At the same time, Holiday and Horford both found some strength in the second half.

With the touch, while James and Curry contained the Mavericks' multi-player defense, they hit a shot and helped the Knicks narrow the point difference.

However, at the end of the game, Nowitzki stood up. The German tank made 5 of 7 shots in the last 5 minutes and scored 12 points. Almost every round of ball-handling offense was like a heavy hammer hitting the Knicks.

The Mavericks also led the Mavericks to defeat the Knicks 113:108, chasing the big score to 1:2.

Nowitzki's performance was average for most of the game. However, in the second half of the second quarter when he led the team to widen the point difference, he scored high points in the decisive moment in the second half of the fourth quarter and scored 10 points in the entire game.

With 37 points and 8 rebounds, he was the number one contributor to the team’s victory;

After scoring 24 points in the G2 game, Terry had another highlight in this game. During those times when Nowitzki was "sluggish", Terry's output helped the Mavericks score. Throughout the game, Terry scored 24 points.

Scored 27 points and 6 assists, preserving a glimmer of hope for the team;

For the Knicks, Curry had a good performance with 29 points and 9 assists. Although the data is not as explosive as G1, but based on the standards of "dual core" or "second leader", Curry's performance is definitely far beyond expectations!

Looking back at James, I can only say that the data of 27+8+7 is very confusing!

At the press conference after the game, when asked how to evaluate the players' performance, Ke Yan didn't even want to mention it: "If we can't win, any gorgeous statistics are meaningless. LeBron knows very well that even if he wins the

It’s useless to score 50,000 points. You wouldn’t think that a taxi with 400,000 miles is more valuable than a Ferrari that can hit 500 kilometers per hour.”

Ke Yan directly put the pressure on James, emphasizing the significance of this championship to the opponent. If he can't win the championship, let alone Jordan, he can't even catch up with Kobe.

Looking at the coaches James has experienced, Ke Yan knows best how to handle him. In the next two days, Ke Yan himself only arranged simple shooting training and tactical explanations. He wanted to ensure that the team's physical condition was in a good state.

stage. James, stimulated by Ke Yan, practiced shooting for two consecutive days.

No matter how hard James gets into trouble with Ke Yan, one thing has to be admitted: this championship means far more to James than to Ke Yan.

First of all, as a "grand master" in tactics, Ke Yan holds two championship rings and has never fallen out of the conference semifinals in his 7-year career. Even if he retires on the same spot, he is enough to enter the NBA Hall of Fame and become one of the "Top Ten Coaches in History"

"; and James is far from the "top ten goalkeepers" Kobe/Olajuwon, and this year is also his best opportunity;

Second, Ke Yan, as the "loser" of "The Legend of Zhen Huan in New York", will leave New York next season and will have no follow-up responsibility to the fans; and James will have to play in New York for at least three years, just for the "crime of" forcing Ke Yan away.

"If there is no championship to wash away, I don't know how much criticism I will face;

Third, from 0 to 1 is far greater than 1 to 100. The former is a breakthrough and a qualitative change; the latter is persistence and accumulation. As Ke Yan said, James' data is meaningful only with a championship.

...

On June 19, G4 between the Knicks and Mavericks started at the American Airlines Center.

After witnessing the home team's victory, the Mavericks fans' confidence in the team soared, and the American Airlines Center was packed with seats, forming a sea of ​​blue.

In the locker room before the game, the Knicks benefited greatly. Nowitzki had a cold and a fever before the game, and was forced to play despite the illness. His condition was worrying.

"Don't forget how the Bulls won the G5 game in the 1998 playoffs. I hope we will be remembered in history because of 72 wins and 10 losses + championship, not because of the 'Nowitzki Fever Battle'

Become a footnote in history." Ke Yan reminded everyone not to take it lightly.

Ke Yan prepared to the extreme before the game. After the game started, the team's high-pressure defense made it very difficult for the Mavericks to cope.

Nowitzki's "cold + cough" was reported before the game, which is 100% not a smoke bomb. The German's footsteps on the court were obviously slower than usual, which was reflected in the frequent loss of position on the defensive end; the offensive end was also more aggressive than usual.

"soft".

Terry and Barea, who were in great form in the past two games, have both returned to a normal state. Terry can barely maintain his firepower, although his efficiency has also declined to a certain extent; while Barea's side has been completely blocked by Holiday.

die.

The opening game was beaten at 23:10, and Carlisle called two timeouts, but still could not stop the decline; as long as the Mavericks couldn't make a shot, the Knicks would directly launch a fast break counterattack, and it would be difficult for the Mavericks to keep up.

In the second half of the first quarter, Carlisle made a desperate move and replaced Nowitzki with Kidd to sort out the team's offense. On the defensive end, Kidd was arranged to defend James. It worked in the short term, but it was unsustainable.

Ke Yan adhered to the basic principle of "killing you while you are sick" and took advantage of the Mavericks to fight to death when no one was available. At the end of the first quarter, at 21:39, the Knicks led by 18 points away from home!

At the beginning of the second quarter, Carlisle arranged for Kidd and Barea to play as double point guards, hoping that the Puerto Rican would regain his form and help the team chase points.

However, Barea completely disappointed the Mavericks fans today. Against Jeremy Lin, who was beaten by him in G1, he still couldn't find his offensive touch. He made 0 of 4 shots and felt cold.

The score difference was stretched to 23 points, and the entire American Airlines Center was silent. The director pointed the camera at the auditorium, and some female fans were already in tears.

I have to say that the Mavericks are a very miserable team. In the past 12 years, only 4 teams have broken out of the Western Conference. The Lakers and Spurs have won 5 and 3 championships respectively, while the Mavericks and Suns have won 5 championships and 3 championships respectively.

The team fell into Key Yan's hands once each.

The morale of the entire Mavericks team was low, and Ke Yan did not dare to be careless. He still devoted himself to commanding from the sidelines. On the stage of the finals, no one dared to show off. Even if he wanted to save face for the Mavericks, he would have to wait until at least fourth place.

Festival.

At halftime, the Knicks led the Mavericks by 31 points, 73:42, and the game had indeed lost its suspense.

In the second half of the game, the "balance of power" between the two sides maintained for half a quarter. Carlisle saw that it could not win, so it chose to replace the starter and prepare for G5 in advance.

Nowitzki was limited by his body and performed poorly. He made 7 of 18 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 17 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.

Terry had the second highest score with 15 points, but his efficiency of 5 of 13 shots was not very high.

The Knicks took advantage of Nowitzki's illness in this game and frequently attacked the inside.

James also played in the three quarters, playing 27 minutes, shooting 9 of 17, scoring 25 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. It was the easiest game in the series; Horford and West scored 31 points together, which also contributed to the team's success.

Victory provided quite a boost!

In the final quarter of the game, the Knicks put some slack and allowed the Mavericks to recover some points. The final score was fixed at 90:114. The Knicks won a big away game and led with a total score of 3:1!

After G4, everyone with a discerning eye has seen that it is inevitable for the Knicks to reach the top. The New York media has even "crown the crown" for James in advance.

Even the Dallas media pessimistically believes that the Mavericks want to win the championship unless a miracle happens.

Except for Phil Jackson and Stan Van Gundy, Ke Yan is quite polite to most coaches and will not actively provoke them. As the coach he always admires the most, Carlisle will not make any nonsense, only saying "Give your opponents the greatest respect."

Just try your best.”

.......

On June 22, the 2010-11 NBA season came to an end.

Although the arrogant New York media are even discussing whether to let one game go and return to Madison to win the championship. But Ke Yan can't wait, James can't wait, book friends can't wait, and even the league doesn't want to wait any longer. The huge gap between the two teams makes the league

There is no intention of letting the referees forcefully salvage respect for the Mavericks. The key is to end the finals and then continue a new round of labor negotiations.

If the negotiation is not successful? Then you can only follow what Brother Crow said, then don’t do it, just lift the table, and let the labor and management eat shit together!

Although there was no referee's blessing and although his physical condition was not restored to its best, Nowitzki still went all out and stood up for the last shift in the last game of the season.

"I won't be here next season, so keep working hard~" Ke Yan felt regretful for taking away the greatness that belonged to Nowitzki.

But competitive sports are like this, there are always some people who have to lose. It can even be said that Ke Yan himself is a loser. He worked hard to create such a lineup for the Knicks, and all of them are married to others.

Does it feel a bit like Lu Buwei?

No, "Aisin Gioro Yinzhen" is more appropriate. Wipe the butt of Isiah-Xuan Ye-Thomas, deal with all kinds of junk contracts, optimize the team's salary space, and rebuild the team's tactics

System; lay a good foundation for LeBron, Hongli and James.

As Jeremy Lin threw the basketball in his hand high into the sky, the red light came on, and the finals officially ended.

93:110, the Knicks won the away game! Winning the third championship in team history.

The game whistle sounded and everyone started celebrating.

James knelt on the ground and cried bitterly. It was only at this time that the other attributes of him slowly faded away, and he was just a young man who had just realized his dream;

Holiday, Curry, and Matthews are hugging each other. The three of them entered the NBA at the same time and were trained bit by bit by Ke Yan. They are considered comrades who grew up together and have the best relationship;

West's career has changed a lot because of the emergence of Ke Yan, but he is still very satisfied at this moment. The "West Master" in history valued the championship more than doing everything he could. In 2016, he gave up 12 million players

Option, 2 million to join the Spurs and compete for the championship;

Snyder also hugged the players one by one. By chance, Snyder missed Key Yan's two championships in Atlanta. This is his first time to win the championship. In the summer, he will stand on his own for the second time.

I am now coaching a new team and hope everything goes well in the future.

Ke Yan was missing from the celebrating crowd. He returned to the locker room immediately and called Wang Lifan. He stayed alone in the locker room for a long time until the staff came to the locker room after being reminded by the photographer.

, reminded him that the award ceremony was about to begin, so he calmed down his emotions and returned to the venue.

Soon, the finals MVP was selected. James won his first FMVP trophy without any suspense and gave a touching speech.

It was Keyan's turn to speak, and he gave his last tenderness to the city of New York.

"When I came to the city of New York two years ago, I promised to bring a championship to New York. I am very happy that I can do it before leaving. These two years of life in New York have had all the ups and downs, and I have gained the most.

The best general manager, the best coach, I won my third championship trophy, and most importantly, I got a lovely daughter! With the experience in New York, my life is more exciting."

.......

After defeating the Mavericks without any blood and winning the championship, the New York media began to pay attention to Ke Yan's contribution and called on the team management to keep Ke Yan; and the local New York fan group also called on all fans to retain Ke Yan at the championship parade ceremony.

Winning the championship can cover up all conflicts! This is the eternal law of the NBA. If the Lakers F4 won the championship in 2004, and you changed "Shaq also did it" to "Shaq also did it to Jenny", the Lakers management would still reconcile the two people.

contradiction between.

However, Ke Yan did not give the New Yorkers any chance. Wang Lifan returned to Atlanta early and asked his father Wang Zhenyao to issue a "medical certificate" so that Ke Yan could take leave and not participate in the team's celebration party and championship parade.

Ke Yan himself also called Curry. While congratulating him, he also explained the reason for his absence: "If I stay with that guy for one more second, I want to soak myself in formalin."

disinfect."

"I understand, boss...I don't like him either." Curry rarely complains about other people in private, and when it comes to this, it's already the limit.

"There is no need to call me boss from now on. Unless you still want to play for me." Ke Yan tested Curry.

"Of course I want to! But..." Curry pouted. The league's rules are here. If Curry wants to become a complete free agent, he will have to wait until 2017 at the earliest.

"There is no but, when I come back, I will continue to let you chase Messi." After receiving Curry's expression of loyalty, Ke Yan clenched his fists excitedly, and his hard work for him was not in vain.

When the afterglow of the finals gradually dissipated and topics such as the draft and labor negotiations became mainstream, Ke Yan borrowed a private jet from his former boss Ressler, set off back to China, and began his secluded life.

Before he officially launches the acquisition of the Kings, he will not take any jobs, will not appear in public, and let the NBA play its own game.
