Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

After a 47-point victory, the Thunder, a team that was founded less than a year ago, had a particularly difficult start. After that, the Knicks finally ushered in their first back-to-back game of the season.

Their opponent is the Dallas Mavericks from Texas.

As the only atypical strong team in the league, the Mavericks’ story has twists and turns that no one in the league can match. From 2006 to 2012, the entire six years, the Mavericks’ experience is enough to fill an entire chapter.

It's a basketball novel, and it's the kind that doesn't cost at least 3 million yuan.

In 2006, the Mavericks, who finally became stronger in the playoffs, finally got past the defending champion Spurs, making it all the way to the finals and taking a 2-0 lead.

However, facing Tianhu's start, they lost in front of the desire to win and the referee, losing four games in a row, fulfilling the glory of Wade and O'Fat.

The Mavericks made a comeback the next year, and this time they were even stronger. In the regular season, they swept the Spurs and crushed the Suns. They won 67 games and successfully entered the finals as the league's top scorer.

Everyone thought that this time Dallas people would realize their dream.

After debuting in the C position, the rich and beautiful O'Brien Cup is right in front of me, as if it is at your fingertips.

The old drivers who had just won the regular season MVP said with high spirits that their only opponent was themselves!

Everyone thought they were on the fifth floor, but who knew the Mavericks were on the first floor this time!

After six games, the Mavericks became the third team in history to be blackballed. They are also the most influential and classic team. They are so classic that they are unforgettable no matter what time they play. They play every year during the holidays and in the playoffs.

Sometimes I had to pull it out and whip the corpse...

Dirk Nowitzki also became the first man in history to wear a suit to receive the regular season MVP trophy...

After averaging only 19.7 points in 6 games and shooting as low as 38.3% from the field, the veteran was also ridiculed as the worst regular season MVP in history.

The Mavericks are also the first team to be defeated in the 7-game 4-win system - the longer the series, the more beneficial it is to the stronger team, because they have more opportunities to comeback, but even so

, the Mavericks still only won 2 of the games.

Not only that, the Mavericks are also different from the other teams that were hacked. Their lineup is healthy. In the 1999 Knicks' Black8-Heat series, the Knicks were actually not bad at all, but because of

Only the injuries to Ewing and Sprewell in the regular season would the team fall to eighth place, and 1999 was a shortened season. The first-place Heat only won 6 more games than the eighth-place Knicks - for comparison

The gap between the Mavericks and the Warriors is a full 25 games.

So Mavericks fans can't even find an excuse. They just can't beat the opponent with real guns. In the three home games, the Warriors beat the Mavericks by an average of 15.6 points per game...

The most outrageous thing is that the Warriors only narrowly entered the playoffs because the Mavericks failed in the last game of the regular season...

So what is this?

Who did I kill, and who killed me?

If you include the grudges between Warriors head coach Old Nelson and the Mavericks...

Ah, this, the program is very effective.

Naturally, the following season couldn't be slowed down. He was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs again, and Johnson was dismissed sadly.

In the original history, the Mavericks still did not slow down in the regular season this season. They were still one better than last season in sixth place in the regular season, but they counterattacked the Spurs in the first round of the playoffs. Although in the playoffs,

He was eliminated by the Nuggets in the second round, but people seemed to see the dawn of rise again.

In the 2009-10 season, the Mavericks rose again in the regular season. They were second only to the defending champion Lakers in the Western Conference and entered the playoffs with the second best record in the regular season.

The smug Dirk once again said that they would meet the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, and then were easily defeated by the Spurs 4-2 in the first round... completing the Spurs' Black Seven Miracle.

Zuo Li: "..." It was quite sudden.

In four years, I have experienced black eight and black seven, which is a unique history.

What's even more amazing is that in just one season, the Mavericks, still the largest pseudo-powerful team in history, miraculously defeated the Trail Blazers in a row. The Lakers and Thunder once again reached the finals, and even defeated the Heat for three games without being favored by others.

The giants won the first championship trophy in history.

It can be considered a single-core game, and it was the Heat that defeated the Big Three, which directly makes this championship worthless.

When it comes to surprising people, the Mavericks never surprise anyone.

Then the next year they fell at light speed and became the eighth defending champion in history to be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs...

This period of history is very familiar to Zuo Li, and he remembers all the details very clearly because it is so classic.

So during the appearance ceremony, when watching the veteran driver Dirk appear, Zuo Li unconsciously dubbed him in his mind:

6 years, do you know how I spent 6 years?

Put yourself in, if Zuo Li is replaced in Dirk's position, he may not necessarily do better than the veteran driver.

So for this veteran who persevered and finally succeeded, Zuo Li still respected him in his heart.

Oh, maybe Dirk isn't quite a veteran now.

But that's not important. What's important is that Lu Xun - I said everything - once said that the best way to show respect for a player is to defeat him on the field.

So Zuo Li decided to do this!

So Zuo Li's position in this game became power forward. This was Zuo Li's first exposure to this position, and Randolph replaced Zuo Li as the center.

"Hey Dirk, I really like the way you play, so I'm here to beat you!" Zuo Li took the initiative to greet Dirk as soon as he came up.

The people of Deke are all stupid. Do young people nowadays speak so contradictoryly...

However, Dirk is still a little confused. Will he have to directly confront this recently popular rookie tonight?

Will Zuo Li also play power forward?

This arrangement seems bold, but it is suitable for confronting the Mavericks because Dirk is an equally atypical power forward.

Flexible footsteps, a height of 2.13 meters, and an extremely soft shooting touch. He can control his body very well in confrontations. His fadeaway shooting technique is more like a shooting guard, even if he pulls players from all positions over.

Several people dare to say that they are more accurate than him.

Dirk changed the game and the definition of this position. He was an anomaly, a great anomaly. The way he played really changed the game of basketball. In the future, 7-foot-tall big men would imitate his way of playing.

It also changed the definition of the power forward position in basketball.

Therefore, he always has an advantage on the offensive end when facing traditional power forwards, because he is flexible, can dribble, and has a shooting range that covers the entire three-point line. However, he also has disadvantages on the defensive end. His rebounding ability and confrontation ability are his key points.

shortcomings.

Therefore, facing such an alien, we should let an alien like Zuo Li defend us.

Because a famous magician once said: Only magic can defeat magic!
