Chapter 208 Reinforcement Plan
Li Xuan pushed open the door of the locker room and walked in. Seeing that his teammates had almost returned, he greeted them one after another, and then went straight to his locker to organize his belongings.
Not long after, Old Nelson led the coaching staff into the locker room, clapped his hands, and said, "Even though we lost, I can't blame each of you players. You played very hard in this game. Did not give up.
Go back to Dallas to rest for a day, quickly adjust to the state, and play our league's first momentum at home. "
Mavericks players nod, recover
Old Nelson was very satisfied when he saw that his words had worked, and then made a brief post-match summary.
"Okay, I'm here today, go take a shower, go back to the hotel and rest."
After Nelson finished speaking, he left the locker room with the coaching staff.
The players of the Mavericks had just finished a back-to-back game and were physically and mentally exhausted. They just wanted to wash up and go back to the hotel to rest quickly, and they had no idea of going out for a while.
After taking a shower, the Mavericks players came to the gate of the arena, got on the bus and went back to the hotel to rest.
Early the next morning, all members of the Mavericks took a flight back to Dallas.
After returning from Los Angeles, Nelson Sr. took Nelson Jr. to Cuban's office in a hurry to discuss the reinforcement plan.
After playing with the Lakers, the Mavericks' problem at the fifth position became more and more serious.
If they encounter the Lakers or Spurs in the playoffs, the Mavericks' weak inside will be blown up.
"How are the trading targets I asked you to follow up on?" Old Nelson asked.
"The opponent wants too many chips, and we can't meet the requirements at all." Little Nelson said helplessly.
"A blue-collar player whose contract is about to expire, and a parallel importer, do they still want to lose the last bit of value in their hands?"
Old Nelson felt that these people had a bit of a big appetite, and they were not afraid of being stuffed to death.
He thought about it, and said: "Then implement a backup plan, which can also relieve the pressure on the inside line."
He believes that as long as the Mavericks are willing to pay a draft pick, and Bradley's contract is about to expire, the Knicks will definitely make this deal with the Mavericks.
Old Nelson also learned from rumors that "Smiling Assassin" Isiah Thomas is packing up and dealing with players with high salaries and low abilities in the team. This is the best time for looting trades.
"Okay, I will implement this matter." Little Nelson nodded, expressing that he would go all out to complete the deal.
The Mavericks owner Cuban on the side interjected appropriately.
"Our goal this season is to compete for the O'Brien Cup. Don't be reluctant to spend money and do it boldly. I don't care about money as long as it can strengthen the team."
After Cuban delegated power, he continued: "However, I want you to understand that this is Dirk's team and must rely on him to form the lineup."
Old Nelson and Jr. Nelson nodded and had no objections.
Strengthening the inside is to reduce Nowitzki's pressure on the inside.
There was no conflict on this point, and the three soon reached an agreement.
After discussing the reinforcement plan, Nelson quickly left the office and returned to the head coach's office to formulate offensive and defensive tactics for the next game.
……
……
On February 2, the Heat came to Dallas one day earlier to prepare for tomorrow night's game.
Wade followed the team to the hotel where he was staying, put his luggage away and slipped out.
In a nearby restaurant, Wade and Li Xuan successfully met.
"Brother, I'm glad you're here. I can finally treat you to dinner." Li Xuan joked with a smile.
Wade knew that Li Xuan was teasing him about losing a bet at the All-Star Weekend to treat guests to dinner, and suddenly felt that he shouldn't come to see this nasty guy.
"Then you have to be careful with your wallet, and be careful that I will make you poor."
"Don't worry, eat well. Brother is not short of money. Nike gave me money again. I just have nowhere to spend it."
Li Xuan responded lightly, and pretended to beep by the way.
Wade was envious after hearing this!
Why is there such a big gap between people.
In fact, Li Xuan was telling the truth, Nike really gave him money.
Due to Li Xuan's outstanding performance in the rookie game and the All-Star game, by the way, he ignited the God-killing generation boots he was wearing, which made the God-killing generation boots sell out.
Nike suddenly felt how wise and wise the decision it made last summer was, and it hit countless people who mocked Nike's short-sightedness before
Therefore, Nike strikes while the iron is hot and prepares to launch the second generation of killing god boots.
Isn't this just rushing to send money to Li Xuan!
In order to win back a victory, Wade deliberately said, "I also have a piece of good news to share with you, do you want to know?"
"It's fine if you don't want to say it, I don't want to know." Li Xuan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.
Seeing that Li Xuan didn't play cards according to the routine, Wade became anxious. He finally pretended to beep, but he didn't give him a chance.
Immediately, he quickly said good news about himself.
"I'm going to be the boss of the team, and that guy Eddie was packaged and traded to the Warriors for Eric Dampier as a helper."
Li Xuan froze for a moment after hearing this, feeling a little shocked.
Dampier, known as the second center in the West, went to the Heat. What about the fat head shark?
During the offseason this summer, will Riley introduce O'Neal again?
It seems that my own arrival has caused the butterfly effect again.
After reacting, Li Xuan asked, "Why didn't I see this news on the Internet?"
"This is internal information. It hasn't been reported yet. After a day or two, there will be official transaction news."
"Brother, congratulations, your dream has come true." Li Xuan congratulated sincerely.
"Dude, you know how powerful you are! You can't get along in the future, you can come and rely on me, and I won't starve you if you have a bite to eat." Wade said very embarrassingly.
Although Wade couldn't say such beeping words, Li Xuan's translation was almost the same.
"Do you think that players who have won two MVP trophies in a row will not be able to survive in the league?" Li Xuan asked rhetorically.
Wade was speechless by Li Xuan's words.
In terms of pretending, he really can't beat Li Xuan.
In his heart, Li Xuan has already been ranked together with a bee king like Bird.
After exchanging pleasantries, Li Xuan and Wade began to enjoy a sumptuous meal.
After dinner, the two said goodbye to each other and went back to their respective homes.
……
……
On May 2, at the American Airlines Center Arena.
The Mavericks sit at home against the visiting Miami Heat.
The first meeting between the two sides ended with a complete victory for the Mavericks.
No surprises in this game, the Mavericks have a great chance of winning.
But it is impossible for the Heat to give up resistance. They are currently ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference. If they want to keep their place in the playoffs, they must fight every game, otherwise they will be overtaken by the teams behind.
Therefore, neither team wants to lose in this game, and they will definitely play very intensely and anxiously.
After the start of the game, the two sides played inextricably, leading the score alternately.
Wade relied on a sharp breakthrough to hit the basket and cause damage.
In order to control the number of fouls, Nowitzki, guarding the basket, played timidly, allowing Wade to score an easy layup.
Li Xuan retreated to the basket to help defend and couldn't catch up every time. Wade was too fast.
"This guy went all out when he came up, and he has a strong desire to win! It seems that he is really a sweet potato, and everyone wants to take a bite."
Immediately, Li Xuan changed his defensive strategy and retreated a certain distance to the penalty area, wanting to teach that arrogant guy a lesson.
Wade didn't notice Li Xuan's little move, and continued to break through to the basket.
Now the Heat can play him and Odom.
If he wants to beat the Mavericks, he can't win without playing.
Li Xuan, who had already been prepared to assist in the defense, immediately ran to the basket and gave Wade a nail-biting cap.
After landing, he passed the ball quickly, and when he ran to the front court, he didn't forget to make a joke.
"Dude, I just treated you to supper yesterday, and you're still hungry today. Is this hot pot delicious?"
"Fuck!" Wade looked at Li Xuan's back, cursed secretly, and quickly chased away.
Nash dribbles forward quickly, observes his teammates' running positions, and quickly hits the ball to the penalty area.
Finley, who cuts from the middle, receives the pass, takes a big step, and makes a layup.
Odom, who was chasing behind him, immediately jumped up and stretched out his arms to interfere.
Finley kept an eye out, took the ball back, and immediately passed it to the bottom corner.
Li Xuan, who had just run to the bottom corner, received the pass, jumped up immediately, triggered the effect of the skill [Catcher and Shooter], and threw the ball.
Swish!Hollow into the net!
"Good shot! Lee in the open position is quite scary. According to statistics and analysis, he has hit 95% of open three-pointers this season, basically giving him free points." Steve, the guest commentator of the game - Cole explained.
On the court, when Li Xuan passed by Wade, he said something with a smile.
"Man, with me here, it's going to be harder for you guys to win."
Wade responded unconvinced: "Brother, don't get complacent too early, I will rely on my own ability to defeat your defense."
"Then I'll wait to see your performance." After Li Xuan finished speaking, he quickly returned to his defensive area.
In the next round, in order to save energy, Wade did not choose to single Lagabel, but chose to play with him.
Before he broke into the penalty area frequently, it seemed very easy, but it was not.
It takes a lot of effort for Wade to break through Lagabel's defense, and it takes a lot of effort on his knees and ankles.
It is definitely not possible to play like this, and this problem can only be solved through pick-and-roll cooperation.
After the pick-and-roll is ready, Wade breaks through the restricted area with the help of a screen.
Lagabel did not choose to squeeze through the screen to chase, but went around the screen in advance to block Wade's breakthrough route.
Before the game, Li Xuan told Lagabel a few tips on defending Wade, which can have a good effect.
On the field, Wade failed to get rid of Lagabel's defense and passed the ball to Odom in the high position on the right.
At this moment, Li Xuan suddenly started, stretched out his long arms to intercept the pass, and then dribbled towards the frontcourt.
After Odom reacted, he turned and chased quickly.
After Li Xuan's speed attribute was upgraded to A-level, his speed also improved, and his dribbling speed was quite fast.
When he came beyond the three-point line, he stopped immediately, took off and shot, and his movements were smooth and flowing.
Odom, who wanted to attack from behind, felt a little helpless, and couldn't help complaining.
"This nima's shot is so fast, who the hell can interfere!"
"Shh!"
The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
There was thunderous applause in the auditorium, and cheers and shouts resounded through the arena.
"Beautiful! Lee hit a three-pointer again, pulling the score to double digits." Cole explained.
After the shot was made, Li Xuan looked back at the frustrated Odom, and said, "Come on! You are only a little bit close to stopping me."
Odom gritted his teeth angrily, thinking that he couldn't beat the guy in front of him, suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and left quickly.
In the next game, the Heat changed their offensive strategy. Wade began to organize the offense, using his breakthrough to attract the defense, assisting his teammates to score with the ball, and invigorating the team's offense.
It was not bad at the beginning, and the teammates were also very good, hitting shots one after another, biting the score.
But it didn't take long for the Mavericks to see through the Heat's offensive routine, blocking Wade's passing space and cutting off the passing route.
Moreover, Li Xuan waited for the opportunity to intercept Wade's pass. After successfully stealing the ball, he launched a defensive counterattack and quickly scored.
In this way, the two sides battled wits and courage in the first half, seeing each other's tricks, and did not let the score open.
At the end of the first half, the score displayed on the big screen was 52 to 46. The Mavericks led by 6 points and entered the second half.
After a short 15-minute intermission, the second half began.
As soon as it came up, the Mavericks began to exert their strength, focusing on Nowitzki.
The "driver" singled Haslem in the middle distance, thinking that this would be an excellent breakthrough.
Unexpectedly, Haslem's defense today was very active, which caused a lot of trouble for Nowitzki.
Although the Mavericks failed to open the situation, they improved their defensive strength and restricted the Heat's offense. Both sides failed to score in the first two or three minutes of the second half.
On the sidelines, the head coach of the Heat, Stan Van Gundy, saw that the situation on the court was not good, and immediately shouted at the players: "play the number three tactic!"
After the Heat players on the field heard it, they immediately carried out the head coach's order.
After cooperation, Odom misplaced Nash in singles, carried Nash to the basket, broke through the scoring shortage with an easy layup.
Nelson, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, quickly adjusted his offensive and defensive tactics, allowing Jamison, who was about to play, to convey to the players on the field.
After the substitution adjustment, the Mavericks changed their offensive strategy. Li Xuan and Jamison began to cut towards the basket, while Nowitzki brought Haslem into the restricted area to create favorable conditions for him.
Originally, the Heat's inside line was a weak point, and then they were targeted by the Mavericks, and they were instantly sieved.
Watching the score gradually widen, Wade realized how big the gap between his team and the Mavericks was.
It's not that he doesn't work hard enough, but that the opponent has too many offensive points. He lacks powerful helpers, and he can't beat four hands with two punches.
In this way, relying on the advantage established by the Mavericks in the third quarter, it has been maintained until the end of the game.
In the end, the Mavericks beat the Heat 98-90 to avoid a losing streak.
数据方面，李轩上场40分钟，投篮19投10中，其中三分球9投5中，罚球4罚4中，得到29分13篮板2助攻3抢断3盖帽的全面数据。
热火队表现最出色的球员为韦德，在上场的43分钟内，投篮26投12中，其中三分球2投0中，罚球8罚6中，得到30分5篮板6助攻2抢断2盖帽的全面数据。
After the game, Li Xuan and Wade hugged each other and exchanged a few words.
Since the Heat still have to play back-to-back games, Wade quickly walked towards the locker room after speaking.
"Cunning guy, you won't be so lucky next time."
Li Xuan didn't have time to say the beeping quotes that he had in mind, so he could only wait for a chance to say it later, turned around and walked towards the player tunnel.
