NBA basketball rhythm monster

Does Auerbach know Steve Nash? This can only deceive honest people. Although Nash's statistics are not very good at this time, the Mavericks' excellent record still makes him qualified to enter the All-Star. Such a player is called

It's no exaggeration to call him a star. How could Auerbach not know him?

Cuban, the team owner, is worthy of his background in data and business. During the conversation with Auerbach, he soon discovered that the other party would intentionally or unintentionally bring the topic to Steve Nash.

As the saying goes, only those who find faults should buy it. Cuban immediately understood what the old man meant by coming to Dallas. It turned out that he was eyeing his Mavericks players.

However, even if he had guessed Auerbach's intention, Cuban would not dare to confirm whether Auerbach really liked Nash or someone else. After all, these people have been in the league for a long time.

The years are blurred. When dealing with such an old fox, one accidentally falls into the trap.

Didn’t you see what happened with 76ers Van Horn?

On the surface, the two were discussing Nash, but maybe they were talking about who on the team? Finley? The offense was similar to that of Pierce.

Jamison? Doesn’t he have Li Luo? The fourth position is too crowded. Could it be that he lets one of them play the center position? It’s not impossible.

As for Nowitzki? Cuban vetoed it without even thinking about it. Who in the league didn't know that he and Nowitzki were about to wear a pair of pants. Apart from his wife, as long as Nowitzki opens his mouth, he can do anything.

I handled everything for him properly.

"Could his target really be Nash?" Cuban muttered in his head.

Now Nash is already an asset that is about to depreciate in Cuban's "game card library". Nash's data, who is in the contract year and is relatively older... is just average. Although

The efficiency is not bad, but how can I still play when I am almost 30 years old?

"If a strong inside man can be replaced to match Nowitzki and free him from the center position, it seems that this transaction is not impossible."

The only thing that troubles Cuban is the friendship between Nash and Nowitzki. After all, the two have grown up together since their rookie days. If this is the case, the German tank will be sad for a long time.

As a successful businessman, Cuban couldn't find an answer to the question after much thought, so when Nash was out of position defensively again and was scored, he simply turned passive and proactively asked Auerbach:

"This Steve, why is he out of position again! His performance this season has declined instead of increasing!" He said and stared at the big screen on the field with hatred.

The bait has been thrown, it's up to the other party to pick up the bait.

Auerbach acted very calmly at this time. He gently picked up the cigar, took a puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke.

"Calm down, Mark. I've heard before that you are a hot-tempered boss. There are still many games in a season. If you are so angry every game, you won't be able to survive me."

With that said, Auerbach even suggested to Cuban quite "enthusiastically":

"At this time, you should take the initiative to ask Sean to help that little man. There is no defensive strength in your team. As long as you keep them away from the penalty area and reduce the opponent's shooting rate, it will be successful. Then you can beat the opponent offensively.

Isn’t that enough? That’s what you do.”

These words made Cuban's slightly clear head start to become a little confused again after he had just finished his analysis.

"Is it possible that he is not here to observe Nash?"

"Something's wrong, something's wrong with the Celtics, something's wrong with Auerbach."

Cuban was confused on the court, and Li Luo was not having an easy time on the court. The Mavericks are worthy of being a shooting team, and Finley was not in good condition today, having made 2 of 7 shots so far. So he took the initiative to reduce his desire to take shots.

.

But the other players were too strong in this game. Jamison, who was new to the team, was on par with Pierce. At his peak, Jamison's statistics were almost the same as Pierce's, and he also effectively prevented Pierce from hitting many singles.

And Nowitzki is so awesome.

Li Luo believes that his defense is not bad among power forwards in the league, and his ability is above average. Even in some games that do not test talent, his golf intelligence can further help him become an even better player.

defender.

But is this level of defense used to defend Nowitzki?

That's obviously not enough. Besides, the King's hands are so hot today. Now in the third quarter, he has made 11 of 16, 28 points!

In the third quarter, his performance when facing Lelo's man-to-man defense was the epitome of today's one-on-one duel. Nowitzki held the ball in front of the frame. Lelo's tense muscles were trembling slightly in an instant.

Nowitzki faced the frame, swept the ball down, blasted the ball to the left, and then used the rebound power to turn around at Li Luo.

For a big man, Nowitzki's speed is astonishing. Although Lelo was able to get up in time, he couldn't hold off Nowitzki and was already ready to shoot.

Li Luo was shocked. He jumped up in time and rushed forward from his side to defend. He stretched his right hand to touch the basketball.

During the entire defensive process, except for Li Luo's slight loss of position at the beginning, the rest of the defensive process was quite good. Even at the moment Nowitzki took action, Li Luo also blocked Nowitzki's shot in time.

Vision.

Although Li Luo covered Nowitzki's face, you can't stop the muscle reaction brought about by a shooter's hard work.

Faced with Luo Luo's big hand on his face, Nowitzki didn't even blink, and still completed the entire shooting action calmly.

Lifting one foot and leaning back greatly, Nowitzki has a very comfortable space for his shot.

"Whoa!"

A long two-pointer was successfully pocketed. The Mavericks led by 8 points at the beginning of the third quarter with a score of 66:58.

Li Luo was extremely upset. The most frustrating situation for a basketball player is this. It was like you did everything right, but the corrector still gave you 59 points without hesitation.

Li Luo can guarantee that today's defense against Nowitzki was really done to the limit. He even didn't score much today. After halftime, he spent time organizing, pick-and-roll, and running. 11 points and 5 rebounds.

The data is a 30% discount compared to the Eastern Conference's best week. The number of assists is quite good, 7. It seems that he should have a double-double today.

Auerbach in the box still looked calm. He quietly looked at Cuban, who was cheering for the team's momentum.

How many years ago did I celebrate like Boss Cuban without emotion?

Is it the era of the Big Three? It doesn't seem to be the case. What's so proud about Bird, a mere three-time MVP?

If you have the ability, winning 8 consecutive championships is almost enough.

His thoughts returned to the scene. Auerbach faced the team's huge disadvantage and didn't have much trouble in his heart. It was just the regular season.

But he was also very curious, Li Luo, what would you do at this time?
