Nba: Load Doncic Template After Being Banned

So-so.

Wang Zhi's performance against the Trail Blazers in the first round is indeed very appropriate to describe it this way.

19 points and 5 assists, this data is already very good.

In the Mavericks, it is second only to Nowitzki's scoring of 3-5 points per game.

However, compared to his 22 points per game in the regular season, it is still slightly insufficient.

When it comes to the specific performance of each game, we can also see the specific problems of Wang Zhi!

In fact, the old Nelson gave Wang Zhi a lot of role in the playoffs.

Although Wang Zhi came off the bench, his first playing time was no less than that of the main players, or even more.

And Wang Zhi has a lot of opportunities to lead the offense no matter in the transition period or in the substitute lineup.

In the transition period, sometimes Wang Zhi may also play the role of opening up the space, but when his teammates have a low shooting rate, he will give him the ball.

As for the substitute lineup, Wang Zhi completely controlled the shots. In the past, Van Exel gave him a lot of shots.

Obviously, this is old Nelson's intentional cultivation of him!

With an average of nearly 14 shots per game, the average of 19 points per game is indeed only so-so.

However, Nelson and the coaching staff are very satisfied with Wang Zhi's performance!

You know, this is the first time he played in the playoffs with this team positioning. Although there were three games where he did not play well, there were also two games where he contributed 28 points and 25 points.

Just the day before the start of the second round of G1 against the Kings, good news came!

The awards for the regular season are officially announced on this day.

Although important personal honors such as regular season MVP, scoring leader, rebounding leader and assists leader have nothing to do with the Mavericks players.

But in the selection of the best team, Dirk Nowitzki entered the second team of the best team, and Steve Nash entered the third team of the best team.

And Wang Zhi won two awards at once!

In the best sixth man award, he won the award without any suspense.

As for the most improved player award, both he and Gilbert Arenas are very likely to win this award. In the end, Wang Zhi defeated Arenas with a slight advantage and won this award.

Although the gold content of these two individual honors is not as high as that of the best team, it is reported that the awards will be presented before the start of the second round of the G Mavericks home game.

For Wang Zhi and Mavericks fans, this is still a very happy thing.

As for another NBA player, Dayao, this day was undoubtedly a disappointment.

The best rookie was announced. As the No. 1 pick, Dayao missed this award.

With a slight disadvantage, he lost to Amma Reiss Taudemire, whose regular damage data was similar to his.

The Rockets missed the playoffs in the ninth place in the West, and he was just a little short of the best rookie.

Everything was a little bit worse, which made Dayao a little frustrated. After all, in his first season in the NBA, his performance was far from meeting the expectations of himself and the fans of Longguo.

For Dayao, his NBA season is over.

Now, according to the regulations, he should return to the Longguo national team and join the men's basketball teammates in the training camp.

Although there are no international competitions this offseason, Xia Tian next year, the men's basketball team will participate in such a heavy event as the Olympics!

The Olympic Games is the most valuable competition in the men's basketball international arena, and it is much more important than the Men's Basketball World Cup.

For the training camp of the Longguo men's basketball team, we have run in a year in advance, hoping to achieve good results, there is nothing wrong with it!

However, when Dayao was about to leave, he received a notice from the Basketball Association to let him stay in the United States temporarily, so that he could cooperate with the Basketball Association to call Wang Zhi back to the team.

Calling Wang Zhi to return to the national team, the Basketball Association had discussed this task with Dayao a month ago, and Dayao agreed, but he also has his own temper.

Today, it is still the same, he responded strongly to the Basketball Association and said: "I told you last time, if you want to invite Wang Zhi to return to the team, you have to show enough sincerity, and stop doing what you used to do. It's a set, Wang Zhi just won't take that set!"

"Of course, of course, of course we will show our sincerity."

In this way, Dayao decided to go to Dallas to watch the Mavericks game at the American Airlines Center and cheer for Wang Zhi.

Knowing that Dayao was coming, Wang Zhi was very enthusiastic and wanted to entertain him well the day before the game, but Dayao refused and said: Zhi, the game is the most important thing, the Kings are not easy to play, you have to keep in good shape, etc. You beat the Kings, let's celebrate together!

On the day of G1, the American Airlines Center in Dallas was crowded with people!

Although the Kings are Nominally No. 2 in the Western Conference during the regular season, and the Mavericks are third in the Western Conference, according to the ranking, the Kings should have home court advantage, right?

But the NBA's home and away advantage is not determined according to the ranking, but according to the regular season wins.

Because the NBA regular season ranking rules have rules for teams in the same division, even though the Mavericks have the same record of 60 wins and 22 losses as the Spurs, they can only be ranked behind the Spurs because of their poor record.

And because they are in the same theater as the Spurs, according to the ranking rules, they even rank behind the Kings with 59 wins and 23 losses.

In this way, the Mavericks played against the Kings, nominally third and second, but in fact the Mavericks still have home court advantage.

Indeed, as Dayao said, the Kings are not easy to play!

The Sacramento Kings are the best team in the Western Conference!

This season's regular season record of 59 wins and 23 losses was achieved when the team's lineup was not complete most of the time. This record is only one less win than the Spurs and Mavericks!

Last season, they had the strongest record in the league with 61 wins and 21 losses.

And in the Western Conference Finals, he reached the tiebreaker and almost killed the Lakers who won the final three consecutive championships.

There is no doubt that after killing the Lakers, they are the championship!

Well, if we only define strength from this aspect, then the Kings are a team with championship strength!

As for the Mavericks, they have personally experienced the strength of this opponent.

In the second round of the playoffs last season, in the Western Conference semifinals, the Mavericks met the Kings, and they were easily defeated by their opponents 1:4.

For the Mavericks and Mavericks fans [that series seems to be still fresh in the memory.

The Mavericks, who are good at attacking, were suppressed by the Kings with more firepower!

After the whole series, they didn't seem to see any hope, only endless suffocation.

Of course Wang Zhi also remembers that the only game the Mavericks won in the series at that time was his most brilliant performance in the playoffs last season. And exquisite shooting fake action, scored 17 points!

Perhaps, it was that performance that impressed the coaching staff of the Mavericks.

In the offseason, Nelson Jr. will take the initiative to find Wang Zhi and ask him to play in the summer league, thereby obtaining a long-term contract!

From this point of view, everything started because of that game!

In this regard, this round of the series has been given a whole new meaning to Wang Zhi!

He is actively preparing for the game and is full of confidence. He must show what belongs to him in this round of the series.

"Come on, Mavericks, go, this time, we will succeed in revenge!"

"Yes, get rid of the mountain of the Kings and make it to the Western Conference Finals, let's go!"

"Winning tonight will be ours, Cowboys, we're the best!"

The Dallas fans at the American Airlines Center were extremely fanatical. They wore uniforms of different numbers. Some supported Dirk Nowitzki, Nash and Finley. At the same time, many young fans and girls wore Wang Zhi's uniforms. No. 1 fan uniform.

The management of the Mavericks recently conducted a survey. The survey found that most of the growing Wang Zhi fans are very young fans and female fans. Many of these fans did not watch basketball before, because Wang Zhi I became a basketball fan.

For the team, this is definitely a very good phenomenon!

This proves that there is huge commercial potential in Wang Zhi.

Later, after the Mavericks management conducted a deeper questionnaire survey on these fans, they found out.

Female fans like Wang Zhi, of course because of his handsomeness and temperament.

And those young male fans like Wang Zhi, generally for the same reason: "After so many years in the NBA, one team has always been full of inside players, or everyone is imitating Jordan and keeps throwing back. The distance....... Tired of watching, the shooting-based offensive basketball of the Mavericks is new, and the skill basketball of Wang Zhi is even more fascinating!"

Yes, for any event, there must be an influx of young blood in order to ensure the long-term development and operation of this event.

But if this event does not continue to bring out the old and bring forth the new, then fans will easily experience aesthetic fatigue.

Throughout the history of the NBA, you will find that it is changing every era.

From the ancient era when inside giants ruled everything, to the tyrannical disputes in the 1970s, and then to the 80s when black and white duo fought against each other, it was the first time that non-inside players ruled the league.

Then came the rise of the basketball gods in the 90s, perfectly defining the shooting guard position!

When Jordan ended, the league returned to the big rhythm of center dominance.

In every era, there are special things, special stars, and things that shine brightly for fans.

But in this era, young people are obviously tired of watching the previous way of playing, and they prefer something new.

Maybe the old-school fans don't think so, in their view, NBA games should be fierce confrontation to be exciting and interesting!

But old fans have never been the key target of this commercial league.

New fans are!

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is also one of them!

0...asking for flowers...

He likes basketball. In this league, there may not be an owner who loves basketball more than him.

Although he is an old fan, Mark Cuban is not old-fashioned. Like those new fans, he likes new things.

Before that, his favorite was Dirk Nowitzki, the center forward who was tall but had top-level shooting skills.

Now, the team has another Wang Zhi, a Longguo player with unlimited potential in technique and rhythm.

As Wang Zhi gets better and better, Cuban pays more and more attention to him. Tonight, Cuban has even discussed with the official NBA awards staff that he will personally present the two honors to Wang Zhi.

After the pre-match warm-up, finally, the short pre-match awards began.

Since the best team does not have trophies or medals, Nash and Nowitzki do not need to play.

And Wang Zhi, became the only player to play.

He won the best sixth man and progress

The fastest player, when he held up the trophy that was not exquisite and the honor value was not high, tens of thousands of Mavericks fans still gave him thunderous applause!

"Wang Zhi, this is definitely our future hope for the Mavericks, he is so special!"

"Hahaha, our Mavericks players are very special, just look at Dirk Nowitzki, there is no such type of player in the league, how ridiculous he played against the Trail Blazers in the last round!

"The Trail Blazers were completely blown away by Dirk. I hope Wang Zhi can be like this in the future!"

"And Steve Nash, he's special too!"

"All of this is thanks to Coach Downey, who made our Mavericks the most special team in the league!"

.....0.....

The short awards ceremony is over, and the exciting appearance ceremony is coming!

Next, the starting players of both sides will come on stage!

[Mavericks starting]

Point Guard: Steve Nash

Shooting guard: Michael Finley

Small Forward: Adrian Griffin

Power Forward: Dirk Nowitzki

Center: River LaFrentz

[Kings starting]

Point Guard: Mike Bibby

Shooting Guard: Peja Stojakovic

Small Forward: Doug Christie

Power Forward: Chris Webber

Center forward: Verratti Divac

This is the most classic lineup of the Kings. Although there are always injuries in this lineup during the regular season, fortunately, they have fully adjusted their state in the playoffs and played healthy.

Among them, Peja and Christie have no real difference in the position of shooting guard and small forward, because in terms of height, Peja at 206 is more like a striker, while

Christie at 198 is the second position.

But from the point of view of accusations, Peja's scoring ability is super, but his defense is very average.

And Christy is the outside gate of the Kings.

Therefore, he is on the outside of the Kings, one offense and one defense, and can switch at any time.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Kings easily eliminated the Jazz 4:1 with this offensive and defensive lineup.

Against the Mavericks, the Kings have an advantage!

Whether it is psychologically, lineup, or past records, they all have advantages!

Needless to say, last year's playoffs eliminated the Mavericks easily 4:1. In this year's regular season, although the Mavericks have the highest record in the league, they are the only two teams with a losing record.

Two opponents, one is the Spurs, the other is the Kings, both are 1:3

Playing against the defending champion Lakers, they even have the upper hand at 3:1!

And speaking of the lineup.

The Mavericks offense is indeed the best in the league!

But the Kings are not bad either. Although they are not as extreme as the Mavericks, under the Princeton system, the Kings' offensive level is actually the same as that of the Mavericks.

But on the defensive end, the Kings are far stronger than the Mavericks.

On the perimeter, the Kings have a super-fight in Doug Christie.

On the inside, Chris Webber has both offense and defense, and Divac's ability to protect the frame and grab rebounds is also very good.

Such a comparison, the lineup is indeed better than the Mavericks.

Looking at their record again, if they can compete with the three-peat Lakers in the Western Conference Finals to tiebreaker, that level is naturally needless to say.

No matter how you calculate it, the Kings are fully occupied.

However, NBA games are not like that.

If such a comparison can tell the winner, then what else is there to fight.

The greatest charm of the NBA playoffs lies in the uncertainty.

A strong team may not always be able to suppress a weak team, and a disadvantaged team may not necessarily lose.

The Mavericks are full of confidence and are bound to successfully climb over the mountain of the Kings this year!

The Kings also have lofty aspirations. Their goal is not just the Western Conference Finals. They are making a comeback this year, and they will once again launch an impact like the championship this year.

The Mavericks in front of them? In their view, it is just a stepping stone.

Beep!

With the whistle of the referee, the series between the Mavericks and the Kings in the Western Conference semifinals kicked off.
