On the morning of the 12th, Washington media broke Cuban's dissatisfaction with Nash's defense and rushed Nash's news in the locker room.
When playing away games, the players are generally more convergent in the locker room, because it is likely to have ears next to the wall. Regardless of this set, Cuban is a passion burning neuropathy.
In Yang Rui’s previous life, Cuban was like a good boss most of the time. In fact, Cuban only appreciated Nowitzki and was only kind to this person.
In the summer of 2004, Nash returned to Phoenix in 65 years, and Cuban then used thousands of words on his personal website to criticize Nash for being greedy for money before leaving. He pointed out that he had provided Nash with a five-year 51 million quotation.
As a result, Nash responded angrily, accusing Cuban of lying, and said that such a thing should not be brought out for public discussion. He quickly received the support of fans. For a time, Cuban was backed by the infamous infamy.
The following season, Nash was elected MVP of the regular season. Cuban believed that Nash was not worth 5 years. 65 million became a laughing stock and his face was swollen.
In the 2005 playoffs, Nash led the Suns to defeat the Mavericks 4-2 in the second round of the Western Conference. In the Mavericks home game, Cuban made a few strong gestures against the back of Nash walking into the player's channel. As a result, he was photographed by the camera. He became a clown-like character and his face was smashed.
When Nash talked about Cuban after the game, he said disdainfully: "He was very lively this evening, and I also know that after signing the contract with the Sun, he said a lot of things behind his back. This is nothing to me, but rather My fighting spirit was inspired by this."
Nash and Cuban have long been like strangers. Every time they revisit Dallas, Nash will chat with Nowitzki and the fans who love him, but he has no words with Cuban.
Cuban's abandonment of Finley made the fans angry. He played 9 seasons in the Mavericks. He has long been the team's spiritual leader and the fan's most supported star. As he grew younger, Finley's competitive level gradually decreased, averaging 22.6 points per game from the peak to 15.7 points in 2005. That summer, the league introduced amnesty clauses to help teams control salary space. Cuban immediately became the first person to use the clause and cut Finley.
This made the Dallas media and fans who were very affectionate about Finley shout Cuban mercilessly again. Funny thing is, Cuban was quickly beaten again, the Mavericks were black, and Finley won the championship with the Spurs in 2007.
In short, Cuban is a guy who is very good at losing character, except for the Mavericks fans, everyone supports the Wizards.
In the fifth game, Nowitzki's mentality was unbalanced at the start. He shot as usual and played iron frequently.
Nowitzki can't pass Jordan, Wallace and Marshall with his skills, but he has a good shooting accuracy, averaging 33 points, 10 rebounds and 2.5 assists in the series. Absolute star data. He became a blacksmith this time, and the Wizards easily took the lead.
Nash still has problems on the defensive end, and the single defense will deflate if it encounters a cover. When countering, Wesley can also rely on his body to eat hard.
In the second quarter, Yang Rui arranged a double guard and a full-court press to strictly guard Exel.
Van Exel did not play well on the field. He made 5 of 15 shots. Today, he was eager to recover the score and started a chaotic battle. Without completely getting rid of the defense, he shot at a long distance.
Tyrone Lu became a strange soldier. His entanglement ability is strong, and he is constantly close to the body. Although he cannot cover it, he will not be easily passed by. On the offensive end, Tyrone Lu played soy sauce, and the defensive end helped the team.
Barkley spoke highly of Tyrone Lu. "He is the kind of player who can make good use of the opponent star. He defended Iverson in the 2001 Finals. When the two men played against each other, Iverson shot less than anyone else. It is difficult for Exel to get a good meeting."
Smith laughed: "Yang Rui praised Tyrone Lu many times during the regular season, saying that he is very important, it seems true."
In the past life of Yang Rui, Tyrone Lu retired as a coach and later became the head coach of the Cavaliers, winning the championship with the team. He is physically limited, he is a normal player, there are some players, and his defensive enthusiasm does not lose anyone. The Cavaliers twice defended Stephen Curry into a blacksmith's Delaware, his disciple.
Van Exel made 2 of 8 shots in a quarter and missed 3 of 3 3-pointers, bringing the Mavericks into the ditch and trailing by 18 points at halftime.
In the second half, Yang Rui continued to adhere to the small ball tactics, looking for opportunities through the players' non-stop running.
Although there is a lot of running, the Wizards' tactics are actually not complicated. At most, a big man is sent to cover on one side and then cut empty. The others did not rely on cover and ran directly with the defenders. The Mavericks don't need joint defense, the Wizards play like that. The Mavericks used joint defense, and Nash was unlucky.
Jordan's middle road organization can always observe the teammates' running position and pass the ball to the appropriate position. He sent 7 assists in a single quarter, and he had scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 11 assists in the double-double at the end of the third quarter.
The Wizards led 22 points into the final quarter.
Yang Rui called the players together and said aloud: "There are three people who may compete for MVP. I will let you play the whole quarter. I hope you can cooperate actively to ensure victory! This season, we win by relying on the whole , We want to show this to the fans. A win!"
"Must win!" the players shouted together.
Yang Rui sent Wesley, Hamilton, Bell, Jordan, and Stadamer, a large belt of four children. In addition to the trident, the other two are three-point shooters who are responsible for pulling open to attract defense.
Old Nielsen used all his strength and sent a double guard combination at the end. In the finals, he was completely disappointed with Adrian, averaging 15 minutes per game, unable to attack, unable to prevent, is a burden. Let the "lunatics" play, at least they can fight offense, gambling feel conspicuous.
The center was guested by Nowitzki and LaFrenz was abandoned.
Old Nelson's arrangement determined that Hamilton is the most advantageous point for the Wizards. He countered Van Exel, who was ten centimeters tall, and he could use the height advantage to get the ball when running.
"Crazy" became a loophole on the defensive end. Hamilton went into the mid-range shot and threw it into the crowd. One by one, the fans who supported the Wizards were ecstatic.
It is easier for Stardamer to cover Wesley and block Nash than block the "crazy".
Jordan also continued his power, sending out six assists in a single quarter, four of which were given to Hamilton and two were given to Stadamer.
Barkley said excitedly: "I can't believe that Michael tied the highest assist record in his career. EbookFREE.me~ Smith said: "The Mavericks have given up and they have no power to fight back. "
On March 24, 1989, Jordan hit a career-high 17 assists, leading the Bulls to beat the Blazers 128 to 113. That time was only a regular season, 17 assists in the finals, undoubtedly greater.
The big score leads, the teammates are willing to help Jordan to brush the data, catch the shot. Stoudemire also helped the card to help Jordan get rebounds in the last quarter, making him more beautiful, he and Hamilton did not want to compete with Jordan for MVP.
At this time, even if the Mavericks fans did not change channels, Jordan won the championship and retired, everyone felt the ending was perfect.
When the Wizards made their last attack, the Mavericks gave up defense. Substitute Tyrone Lu brought the ball to Jordan in the frontcourt. Jordan's right-side three-point line press time, before the final whistle sounded, the ball was thrown into the basket, he did not have any pressure, this ball rhythm is very good, hollow into the net!
This was Jordan's only shot in the fourth quarter, which brought a happy ending to his career.
120 to 93, the Wizards won the championship 4 to 1 upset!
