Learning in the NBA can make you a god

"How about it, do you have confidence in dealing with the Knicks?" Carlisle looked at the crowd in a deep voice. Now all the members of the Mavericks finished watching G6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Knicks reached the finals, and their opponents in the next round finally came out.

"Does Rick still need to ask? I can see now that the championship already belongs to us, and I'm already thinking about how to design championship rings for them."

Cuban is the most excited, but he has been worried that the next round of opponents will be the Heat's Big Three. After all, James + Wade + Bosh, such a strong lineup, still makes people feel panic.

Now the opponent is finally determined that the opponent is the Knicks. Even if they don't have home court advantage, it will definitely be easier to play the Knicks than the Heat.

Cuban's words broke the silence, and everyone relaxed.

"Yes, Dirk, believe me, I have experience in several finals, we will definitely win the championship!" Kidd jumped up and put his arms around Dirk's shoulders.

It's just that the picture is quite funny. One is 2.13 meters tall and the other is 1.93 meters tall. There is a height difference of 20 centimeters. Kidd has to jump up to have a chance to hug Dirk's shoulders.

Made everyone laugh out loud.

"Well, everyone is in good shape. Our recent training is mainly about tactics. Of course, it is more about offense and defense against the Knicks. After all, he is our opponent in the finals. We must pay attention to it."

Carlisle sent everyone out of the training hall!
******
"Man, welcome back to the team!" Li Tian saw that Teacher Tony was finally able to appear on stage, opened his arms and gave him a big hug.

In the Eastern Conference finals series, Mr. Tony, who was injured, finally returned from injury and can return to the game in G1 of the finals.

"Finally I can fight with everyone again. Thank you for your hard work. We are here for the championship." Mr. Tony gave each roommate an affectionate hug one by one.

"Paul, seeing your hugs, I feel that there is something unexplainable between the two of you." O'Neill said with a smirk.

Afterwards, in the training hall, several people started to play and play, venting their anger crazily.

The finals are coming soon, they have already played one more game than the Mavericks, and they are physically and mentally exhausted. This kind of fighting can definitely help them release their emotions.

"Papapa!" It was such a familiar voice again, and the Knicks teammates, who were still fighting, also stopped fighting.

D'Antoni could only sit by the side helplessly. He also knew that he was just a tool man, and only one person in the entire Knicks had the absolute right to speak.

This right to speak did not come from Dolan himself, but the default result in everyone's mind.

"Hey, a tool man is a tool man. It's better than being alone. I've been looking forward to the championship for a long time!" D'Antoni thought to himself.

For the sake of the championship and also for money, he chose to be a tool man.

With the familiar clapping sound, everyone gathered around.

"Guys, the finals are coming soon, and we are facing the most important game of the season.

You only need to win four more games, and you can bring the championship home.

Toys are definitely better if you grab them yourself. Shaq and I already have quite a few toys, and I know each of you needs a toy like this.

Guys, run hard, everything is for the championship! "Li Tian finished speaking to encourage his teammates.

Turn around and run to training, everything in the team, he is the leader and the benchmark in the team.

******
Local time, on May 5, the Knicks home court was already crowded with people, and all the fans were wearing T-shirts prepared for them by the home team.

"Hey, buddy, wait for the victory?" Kidd was curious, is this really the same, or the arena that often betrays?

"Haha, victory will belong to us in the end." Dirk clenched his fists. He was very excited. After a few years, he stood on the stage of the finals again.

He is one step closer to that dream. Throughout his career, he has had the extravagant hope of winning a championship.

The last time he defeated him was the Heat team led by O'Neal. This time he can not only get revenge, but also realize his dream, which he has not touched for more than ten years.

"I will definitely beat him, and him!" Dirk pointed to O'Neill and Li Tian.

Like a tsunami, the cries of MVP resounded through the arena. They used their passion to stimulate the hormones of all the players.

"Guys, here we come for the championship!" With a roar, the curtain of the finals officially opened.

He didn't have too many maverick moves, let alone throw chalk, just waved his hands and greeted the fans.

Taylor was given an affectionate hug and the game officially began.

Mavericks starters: Deshaun Stephenson, Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion, Dirk Nowitzki, Tyson Chandler;
Knicks starting: Lowry, Mr. Tony, Li Tian, ​​Humphries, O'Neal.

Replace O'Neill and easily win the jump ball!

The Knicks' first attack was not initiated by Li Tian, ​​but from Lowry, which also caught the Mavericks by surprise.

"Damn it, how could it be that their first attack didn't start with Li." Carlisle was full of surprise.

In such an important game, who would have imagined that the team's first attack would allow the team's role players to initiate the first attack. Li Tian was not selected, and even Shaquille O'Neal, who was thought to be dominant inside, was not selected.

With his speed, Lowry accelerates to break through Deshaun (because it has the same name as Stephenson of the Knicks, then Deshaun-Stephenson is written as Deshawn, with a height of 1.93 meters), and Lowry is shorter, but young At that time, his speed was also not weaker than others.Lowry is younger, one season allowed him to grow faster, and he also knows how to use his advantages to help the team.

Seeing that Deshaun's defense line was broken, Dirk could only quickly go to make up the defense.

Seeing the supplementary defense coming, Lowry's breakthrough was unhurried, and the rhythm can be said to be very good. When Dirk was about to complete the supplementary defense, the ball was passed from his crotch.

Humphries is unguarded in front of him, and after receiving the ball, he makes a mid-range shot!

All of this came so suddenly. The first attack of the Knicks in the finals turned out to be a role player's role player, Humphries.

The corners of D'Antoni's mouth raised slightly, which was a sign of a successful plot!

The Mavericks' original line of defense was disrupted as soon as the game started.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Mavericks' defensive focus is always on Li Tian and O'Neal.It can be seen from the supplementary defense that neither Marion nor Chandler chose to supplement the defense, and Kidd pulled him to the other side because of Mr. Tony.

That's it, every time the Mavericks change their defense, the Knicks change their offense.

The Mavericks tried several zone defenses, but were killed by Li Tian's three-pointer and mid-range, but failed to defend against the Knicks' offense.

In G1 of the finals, the Knicks won without a doubt!

82:98, 17 points difference, for the Knicks, it can be said to be a big victory.

Except for Dirk, the Mavericks scored a team-high 25 points.Among the other players, Kidd was the worst. He only scored 6 points and 5 assists. He was completely blocked by Mr. Tony, and he only sent 5 assists in a row.

At the end of the game, Kidd seemed to have not adapted to Tony's defense.

Because his teammates' shooting rate has dropped collectively, he has also lost his original threat, because he has the title of basic non-offensive, and he has no shooting ability, which is the biggest loophole.

"It's really great. All of us ignored and underestimated this Knicks. All of us thought that the Knicks had the ball, just like the Cavaliers did a few years ago, and all the balls were given to James. .

D'Antoni is a very good coach. He took the Knicks, who were still a big team last season, to the finals.

Of course, I also think that no matter which team Li is on, even if he is on the coach's bench, he can lead the team to the finals with a Erha. "

Barkley's words are definitely a turning point.

D'Antoni was extremely excited when he heard the first half, feeling that he finally got the praise he deserved.

But that turning point made people laugh out loud immediately.

"This damn fat man, I must kill him." In the locker room, D'Antoni was like a pit bull seeing a red cloth, and wanted to rush out of the locker room and kill Barkley.

"Coach, don't be angry, he is definitely jealous, he has never won a championship, this is naked jealousy, jealous that you are about to win the first championship in your life!"

It was the good old Lowry who held D'Antoni back and saved D'Antoni's life.

After all, if he faces Barkley, he will definitely die in the end, there is no doubt about it.

Two days later, the Knicks played again and won another victory!
The Mavericks were unable to resist the Knicks' fast-break tactics at the last moment, and Jordan finally stood in front of the fans.

Jordan benefited from the Knicks' fast-break tactics in G2, and his playing time also exceeded 30 minutes for the first time when the team's O'Neal did not take a rest.

He scored a double-double of 20 points and 13 rebounds, which can be said to be his famous battle.

Many teams have begun to pay attention to Jordan's performance, and the Clippers are the most regretful. This season, they, plus the team's management, have already fainted in the toilet.

They had already traded their first-round pick for this season to the Cavaliers, and because of this pick, they won the No. [-] lottery, making them the worst team.

In addition, in the middle of the season, they traded Jordan to the Knicks to get a player who was useless, and the proper damage doubled.

The Clippers were the worst team in the league last season!
In G1 and G2, Li Tian scored 34 and 28 points respectively, which is the performance of the best player in the finals.

******
In an office in Dallas, the roaring sound can be heard across a wall.

In the office next door, Cuban had a simple and rude communication with Carlisle, of course, the communication was mainly verbal.

Cuban is very disappointed with the results of the current game. He originally thought that when they faced the Knicks in the finals, they would definitely be able to easily beat the Knicks 4:0 like the Spurs did back then.

Then the Mavericks won the championship smoothly, as easily and freely as drinking water. The result surprised everyone. The Knicks led the series 2:0, unlike everyone thought the Mavericks were leading.

Anyway, no matter what kind of record the Knicks play, most media people still believe that the Mavericks will be the final winner of the finals.

"Boss, don't worry. I have thoroughly studied the Knicks. The next three home games will be in Dallas. I am confident that the big score in the series will be tied or even overtaken."

Carlisle seemed very confident, and Cuban didn't know where his confidence came from, but it was the inexplicable choice to trust Carlisle in front of him.

For several consecutive seasons, Carlisle has led the Mavericks, and the team's record has improved a lot every season. Perhaps this is where his confidence lies.

"Okay, I believe you, do you need me to do something?" Cuban grinned.

"We don't need any help at all, we just need to trust Dirk unconditionally, and the victory will be delivered to us." Carlisle said with a smile.

Finals G3 arrived as scheduled, but the venue changed.

In the first three quarters, the point difference between the two teams has never been opened to more than 5 points. The Mavericks are struggling to catch up most of the time.

No way, this is the Mavericks' first game at home. If they can't win, they will lose all hope in the finals. They are fighting to the death!
Terry, who came off the bench, suddenly broke out, scoring consecutive points on Stephenson's head, and made 3 of 3 from outside the three-point line, overtaking the point difference and widening the point difference to 5 points at the same time!
Then Li Tian and O'Neal appeared on the stage at the same time, but they failed to call the lead!
The Mavericks are at home, winning their first victory in the Finals!
The score of the series came to 2:1 and the Knicks took the lead temporarily!
Carlisle led the Mavericks, and the Jedi counterattack won a game, which also brought endless hope to the Mavericks.

The series G4 officially started on June 6 local time, and it is still held in Dallas.

The Mavericks made a sudden change, putting Deshaun on the bench and mentioning Barea to the starting lineup.

This change still had some impact on the Knicks' formation.

Lowry lost his speed advantage, causing the Knicks to lose an offensive starting point.

Forcing Li Tian to attack with the ball at the beginning of the game, every ball needs him to launch an offense, plus there is no O'Neal's dominance in the interior, he can hardly support the whole game.

In the end, G4 once again hated, and the Knicks were on the road again, reaping a loss.

The big score in the finals came to 2:2, and the two teams returned to the same starting line again.

Post-match interview!

"Li, the Mavericks have won two games in a row. What do you want to say about this?" the reporter asked.

"Well, I have to sigh, the Mavericks are very strong, and the goal of the Knicks is still the championship. As long as they can't win the championship, then this is a failed season, and I care more about the next game!"

Responded lightly.

Speaking of which, the current finals are not so friendly to the side with the better record.

2-3-2 home court arrangement, the Mavericks will start from G3, and the Mavericks will harvest three home games in a row.

In this way, the Mavericks will make more profits, because a team without home court advantage, no matter whether they win or lose the first two games, if they reach the Mavericks, they will have a chance to overtake the series.

Now the series score is back to 2:2. If the next game, the Mavericks will win another victory at home.

The score of the series will be rewritten by the Mavericks to 2:3, so that the Mavericks will have a great advantage, even if the Knicks have the home court advantage in the last two games.

Two days later, G5 officially started!
Knicks starting: Lowry, Stephenson, Li Tian, ​​Humphries, Jordan;

Mavericks starting: Barea, Kidd, Marion, Dirk, Chandler.

O'Neal was absent again, G2 played too little time, and D'Antoni broke the rules of the playoffs.He hopes that the team can go all out and write the series as a big score of 3:0.

It's a pity that when the Mavericks returned to their home court, they suddenly broke out. O'Neal's appearance in G3 did not show the dominance he should have.

The G5 game is very critical, but D'Antoni dare not gamble anymore. He must press O'Neal to the floor, because they still need two victories to win this round of the series.

Before the game started, Lowry was a little worried.

"Li, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Li Tian's face was flushed, he immediately asked concerned.

"It's okay, just a little uncomfortable. The game is about to start, don't tell them. During the game, you may need to attack with the ball more, so you have to allocate your physical energy!"

Quickly told Lori.

Hearing Li Tian's words, Lowry could only nod consciously. He had to take on this matter.

The entire Knicks team, except Li Tian, ​​can be said to be the highest paid player in the team, and he must do well in what he should undertake.

At the start of the game, to everyone's surprise, Chandler won the jump ball.

You know, in the first four games of the series, it was Li Tian who finally won every jump ball.

Dirk catches the ball at the position of a half-block, facing Humphries' defense, Golden Rooster makes an independent mid-range shot!

0:2 Mavericks take the lead.

After 3 minutes, Lowry lost two consecutive offenses, and he had to take over the team's offensive banner.

"Little guy, the Mavericks are the team that finally won the championship. Without Kobe, you are nothing!" Marion also felt that Li Tian was not in a good state today, so he chose to stimulate and see the opponent's performance. reaction.

He protruded his right foot, instantly recovered and shook Marion's defensive center of gravity, pulled the ball back and returned to the three-point line again.

"Bang bang bang!" The basketball bounced a few times over the hoop before falling into the hoop reluctantly.

10:12 The Knicks are still 2 points behind the Mavericks.

Li Tian's three-pointer is crucial. It not only narrowed the point difference, but also injected vitality into his teammates. The Knicks regained their confidence again.

Everyone on the bench got excited again and cheered for him.

"What the hell is going on with this guy?" Teacher Tony wanted to cry.

He has already sealed his eyes. Kidd, who is not attacking, actually hits a three-pointer against his tough and perfect defense!
Returned one.

"Steady your mind, don't worry, the game has just begun, don't think too much."

Patting Teacher Tony on the shoulder, Li Tian's words were a little weak.

"I will definitely not give him another chance to make a move." Teacher Tony gritted his teeth.

"Garbage, hurry back to New York, Dallas is not a place you can conquer, this is the territory of the Mavericks!" The fans shouted unscrupulously from the sidelines.

The home team has won two games in a row, and the G5 team still maintains the lead. It is not difficult to explain their excitement.
