The current Dallas Mavericks is not the Dallas Mavericks that were last two seasons. Although the main lineup seems to have not changed much, it has only introduced a somewhat old Jason Kidd, but compared with the past, there has been a qualitative change.

Because this summer, they changed their head coaches. As soon as the playoffs ended last season, the Mavericks fired general Avery Johnson. The Mavericks under Avery Johnson. Although they performed well in the regular season, they always capsized in the playoffs.

It cannot be said that he has no ability, but lacks the experience that a head coach should receive, and is still young, especially last season, when he was powerful in the regular season, he would kill whoever he saw. Even the San Antonio Spurs at that time, he dared not say that he would win after facing the Mavericks. As a result, the Golden State Warriors turned around in the first round of the playoffs. From that time on, the young general's position as coach was not solid.

The Mavericks were still not successful last season, so as soon as the playoffs ended, Mark Cuban no longer had any patience and directly fired General Johnson. Then the Pacers just fired Rick Carlisle because of their poor record and signed Rick Carlisle.

They are all fired head coaches, but the situation is different. Rick Carlisle's problem is mainly that the team's lineup is unstable. A team that is being rebuilt and a team that does not even have a core. It would be strange if the record is good. The young general Johnson is a problem with ability.

Rick Carlisle is a representative of the academy. To talk about his coaching path, we have to talk about Carlesimo. Carlesimo is an academy head coach. His father is the director of the sports department of the university. When he went to college, he was the assistant coach of the school basketball team, and then became the head coach of Seton Hall University. He also worked as an assistant coach for Mike Shashevsky at the World Championships. At the same time, the first assistant coach of the Dream Team was the first.

In 1994, Caresimo took over the head coaching position of Portland Trail Blazers from Rick Adelman. At this time, he summoned Rick Carlisle to his coaching staff. During his three years with the Portland Trail Blazers, Caresimo had great success in the regular season, but he always failed in the playoffs and was eventually fired by the team, exactly the same as the situation of now General Johnson.

Then the two parted ways, Caresimo went to the Golden State Warriors, and once again took over the position of head coach from Rick Adelman. After being fired again, he became **Vic's chief assistant coach, while Rick Carlisle took over the Detroit Pistons.

In the regular season, Rick Carlisle performed well, but in the playoffs, he also encountered insufficient experience. Although he won the coach of the year, he was still fired. Larry Brown took over his position and led the Detroit Pistons to the championship one season later.

The playoffs and regular seasons are watershed between superstars and star players. For the head coach, the regular season head coach and the playoff head coach are also two different levels. After leaving the Detroit Pistons, Rick Carlisle was attracted by Larry Bird and joined the Indiana Pacers and became the head coach there.

In Indiana, Crick Carlisle's record is still very good. If it weren't for the Auburn Hill Palace incident, it would be hard to say who the Eastern Conference champion was that year, but even if it was affected, Rick Carlisle still led the team into the playoffs, but the record was not very good.

During the Pacers' rebuilding process, Rick Carlisle was still able to lead the team steadily. He did not enter the playoffs last season, which actually had nothing to do with his coaching ability, but a question of the team's lineup and strength. He was fired just as a scapegoat.

It was precisely because of this that the Mavericks signed Rick Carlisle. After becoming the head coach, Rick Carlisle did not formulate any tactics, but talked to the team's main players one by one to understand their mental state and thoughts. You must know that the players have already started vacationing at this time. He needs to fly all over the country to find them. He even flew to Germany to have face-to-face communication with Dirknowski.

You can understand the technical characteristics and other things through game and training videos, but your psychological condition cannot be understood through videos. It is only after you have enough understanding of the players that Rick Carlisle can design more reasonable tactics.

It is mainly defensive tactics. He was originally a coach who is based on defense. With the creation of the Old Knicks, the Dallas Mavericks were one of the few offensive teams in the league. After the young general Johnson came, he mixed him from the defense brought by the Spurs into it, forming a unique style. But the problem is that he is not a professional coach himself, and his defense is mostly ideological, while Rick Carlisle is technical.

Because he knows the players very well, Rick Carlisle knows what the players want to do, so the tactics designed are naturally very appropriate. The team's offense is already excellent, and another Jason Kidd comes, who can manage the team's offense in an orderly manner like a battlefield commander.

As soon as his defense ended with Jason Kidd's offense, the Mavericks suddenly went to the same level on both ends of the offense and defense. This is also the reason why the Mavericks have achieved such an excellent record. In the analysis of the team's coaching staff, the Dallas Mavericks' danger index is greater than that of the San Antonio Spurs, but Stephen did not see it this way. As a result, Stephen was shocked during the game.

The Mavericks sent center Eric Danpeer, power forward Dirk Nowitzki, small forward Devin George, point guard Jason Kidd, and point guard Jose Barrea. This is a double point guard lineup. Jose Barrea's technical characteristics are similar to Earl Watson, but the offensive ability is better than Earl Watson and the organizational ability is inferior to Earl Watson. However, with Jason Kidd there, his organizational ability is not needed.

Due to Josh Howard's injury, Devin George was able to start. Compared with Josh Howard, his defensive ability is simply negligible, but Rick Carlisle made Stephen feel through tactics that the Mavericks' defense has not declined compared to all the past, but has become more stringent.

Decknowski was still the omnipotent German tank, and he made consecutive shots on Kot Thomas' head. Kot Thomas was also a defensive defender, and there was no way to deal with him.

This is how Dirknowski is. He is not as fast as him, he is not as strong as him, he is not as strong as him, and he is not as capable as he is. There are very few players in the league who can match him, perhaps only Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett and Paul Gasol are still the same, but none of them have the range and shooting skills that are all over the game like him.

After Stephen found that the strong attack effect was not very good, he began to pass more balls into Durant's hands. Jason Kidd was defending Durant. The two had a height difference of more than ten centimeters, and Durant's shooting ability was not afraid of face-to-face defense. As for Watson, he did not take advantage of the match against Barrea.

The defenses of both sides are similar, not that strong, but not bad. You can limit your offense and cannot afford to be crazy, but it is not the kind that makes people suffocate. At the same time, both sides' offenses are also excellent, and they are incomparable for a moment.

Unless Stephen exerts his strength, he will not be able to expand the score gap. However, the game has just begun, and Stephen is really unwilling to start exerting force now. In the first half, he usually plays in a state of soybean, defending and exerting six points, offense and five points, and organization and exerting seven points.

However, when Stephen's eyes changed and saw the tall figure sitting on the bench, Stephen felt a little wide-minded. It doesn't matter, wait until Yao Ming comes on the court. Although Yao Ming is not very compatible with the tactics now, the cooperation between the two is very good. In the previous game, when Yao Ming comes on the court, it is usually the time when the Supersonics start to lead.

"The center is like a hammer, the forward is like a knife." Stephen suddenly thought of these two sentences he saw there. It means that the attack methods of the players in these two positions are different. The center's offense looks clumsy, but it is even more difficult to stop. As the body recovers better and better, Yao Ming's offense is getting better and better.

When you have sufficient physical strength, Yao Ming's offense can be described as unsolvable. Basically no one can defend him one-on-one. Assisting defense or double-teaming is effective, but don't forget that there is also Stephen on the outside. In the past, defending around the front is very effective for Yao Ming, but now with Stephen, various methods can be used to crack it.

There is a good passer on the outside and a powerful helper around you. If you are more powerful in the substitute, Yao Ming is basically unstoppable, and these supersonic teams basically have them all.

Since Yao Ming's playing time has risen to 30 minutes, Caresimo switched Yao Ming to the court very early and replaced Coupard. In fact, there is also a solution, that is, keep Coupard on the court and replace Coat Thomas. This is a standard double tower lineup. However, since such an experiment has not been conducted, Caresimo dared not use it rashly, so he should use the conventional style of play.

Seeing Eric Danpier, Yao Ming laughed. If he switched to the East, it would not be so easy to meet the Mavericks. However, now he can only encounter three times a season, but don’t worry, the chance of encountering it in the playoffs will increase greatly. Although Eric Danpier claims to have been the second center in the West, he later realized the situation and knew the difference between himself and Yao Ming. Now he sees Yao Ming again. While Danpier is ready to be abused in his heart, he is mentally ready to go on the battlefield.
