Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

The climate in Dallas is quite good, especially in October. Although it is a bit hot at noon, it is still relatively cool at night. Considering safety issues, the four brothers stayed in a nice hotel near the arena instead of a motel. After all... there are not many beautiful places in the United States shrouded in night, and it's hard to tell when they will be snatched away.

So, four people rented two rooms.

Li Shengli and Crotty fell asleep without a few words of conversation, but on the other side...the enthusiastic Curry took Kidd with him, just like the big brother who guided Li Shengli in the Hornets, facing Kidd Inculcate.

"Boy, relax!" Curry took a shower and pulled up his shorts. His obscene appearance made Kidd really unable to relax at all, and even became more and more nervous.

"Yes, that's your expression!" Curry said to Kidd: "You know? When Lee came to the Hornets, he was just as nervous and uneasy as you, but look at him now. Don't worry about this bastard here. Well, no one dares to challenge us!"

"Ahem..." Kidd coughed dryly. He wanted to cry after hearing Curry's words, because these words reflected the seriousness of the Mavericks' situation from the side, and he didn't know how many bad guys were waiting to come to Dallas and step on them. One kick.

To be honest, the target of NCAA players is the NBA. It is impossible for Kidd to not understand the big dye house of the NBA. In fact, he knows a lot. At least he knows Li Shengli’s fighting history. Putting aside other things, A super giant center like Li Shengli with unstoppable dominance is also the teammate he needs and wants the most!

You don't want to win the championship in one step, but you can still improve your point guard's performance and statistics to a higher level, and this is very important for a first-year rookie.

…

I got up early the next day.

The four of them went to the training ground to clock in for work, but the embarrassing thing was... the others were earlier than them, looking diligent and active in training. After all, the new official had three things to do when he took office, and no one wanted to touch Dick, the new coach. of mold.

Although the preseason game is a training ground, after a warm-up, Dick still came to an intra-team game first, because nothing can bring the relationship between players closer than a game, and the grouping of intra-team games I guess Dick thought about it last night.

Li Shengli and Kidd were paired together, plus Wingate, a second-round pick, and a water cooler who were packaged together with Curry.

In the Mavericks' new lineup, the current management is unanimous, with Li Shengli as the cornerstone of the team, and now it depends on the compatibility between Li Shengli and Kidd. After all, Kidd, the second overall pick, is also the Mavericks' key training target.

As for the other side, Curry and Crotty teamed up to form a backcourt double-gun, plus main center Roy Tapley, small forward Poupoye Jones, and power forward Lorenzo Williams.

Except for Curry and Crotty, the other three are all old men of the Mavericks. In the final analysis, players with names are always better than players who are not even mentioned by name and have been led by substitutes, and this group is mainly assessed. What matters is Curry's offense and Crotty's defense. Even though both of them have played many games in the NBA, Dick still needs to examine them more carefully.

…

Although this 5V5 intra-team match is played as a regular match, it is more of a practical assessment of the main players.

Li Shengli's team.

Not to mention the other three, Li Shengli's dominance in the penalty area was as good as ever. Even if he was holding back on offense and defense, he was still playing under the pressure of Tapley. This made head coach Dick's eyes shine when he watched from the sidelines, but Kidd... didn't. Showing too strong desire to attack, but performing the duties of a traditional point guard.

No one knows what Dick is thinking, but Li Shengli has truly felt the help Kidd has given him. Although they are both traditional point guards, Kidd is very different from Stockton, who is known as the textbook point guard. …

Basic passing, vision, and overall situation require a lot of experience, and the two are not comparable.

Compared with offense, Kidd's NCAA shooting percentage record has broken the 40% mark, and Stockton's peak season shooting percentage was 57.4%. Although offense is not the main assessment subject for traditional point guards, Kidd His offensive ability is really embarrassing.

When it comes to defense, the comparison between Kidd and Stockton is still superior in this regard, because Stockton is not tall enough and relies on his crotch-picking hands and iron knees for defense. On the contrary, Kidd is much more orthodox. He grasps steal opportunities accurately, and his height advantage and good vision make him a point guard who can rebound.

It is unfair to compare the current rookie Kidd with Stockton at his peak, but it is undeniable that Kidd has characteristics that Stockton does not have, and is more comprehensive and more suitable for change. situation.

…

As for the Curry team.

Curry is facing off against Kidd, and his facial shooting is a bit misfired. If he were in the Hornets, this could be offset by cooperation with his teammates, but in this new lineup, the cooperation is still a bit stiff, making him more Awkward.

It was Crotty instead.

The substitute opposite him was so defensive that he almost cursed, but Dick was a little surprised on the sidelines... Crazy Crotty lived up to his reputation.

Look at these crotch picks. Did you learn this from Stockton?

From the perspective of head coach Dick, this kind of defense is simply a nightmare for opponents in games with relatively loose penalties.

…

An intra-squad match ended.

Li Shengli was the expected ace, and Kidd's comprehensiveness was also reflected in the original scouting report. These two core Dicks were not surprised, and Curry, the best sixth man, won because of his stable attack, and Crotty won. In terms of defensive expertise, this means...the Mavericks can beat anyone they encounter in the backcourt.

Perfect!

Quite perfect!

The three backcourt players of Kidd, Curry, and Crotty give Dick a lot of room for tactical changes, both offensively and defensively. Even if the offense is weaker, the rotation of the three of them is really difficult to encounter against anyone. Virtual.

On the contrary, it's the insider...

Dick saw a lot of things. Li Shengli was really wild, but what he couldn't do was that the Mavericks were not equipped with a qualified fourth position for him. They really wanted to compete with strong inside players like the Spurs, Rockets and even the Knicks. Teams will still suffer when they meet.

Fortunately, the Mavericks still have a few draft picks, and since Li Shengli is the core of the team, the team will definitely work hard at the forward position. The direction of team building is very clear and easier to operate!

Oh shit!

I’m about to post it!

Dick really felt the love of God at this moment. He felt that this lineup would have no problem entering the playoffs. From the bottom of the league, it jumped into the playoffs. The performance in the playoffs is not good or bad. Let's talk about the span in between... Who can compete with me for the best coach?
