Gobert's injury made the team's insiders anxious.
How good has Gobert been this season?
Many people think that the strength of the Mavericks is due to Qin Yang and Durant, both offensive and defensive, who can achieve so many victories.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But beyond that, the biggest reason is Gobert.
Gobert has already become the best player in the league this season. Since entering the NBA in 13, Gobert has played steadily, with a good sense of position, excellent defensive awareness, great improvement in defensive skills, and excellent wingspan. Gobert's inside defense and frame protection are top in the league.
Even better than Tyson Chandler.
When Gobert played this season, the Mavericks' players under the basket were suppressed to [-]%.
You must know that attacking the basket is the most efficient way to score, and Gobert has greatly reduced this offensive efficiency, which shows how incredible it is.
Although Gobert is not that scary on the offensive end and rebounding, but on the defensive end, Gobert is definitely the top in the league.It is comparable to Howard in his prime, and lasts longer.
Now as soon as Gobert is injured, the Mavericks' defense has problems.
The starting insiders became Dirk and Nurkic, this starting is not good.
Nurkic is more suitable to be a jack-of-all-trades role. On the offensive end, he can shoot mid-range shots, attack in the low post, and can support passes. The defensive end is also quite satisfactory and will not become a shortcoming.
But if Nurkic really wants to become the core of the defense, it's not enough to watch.
Dirk also plays at a young age. He is 39 years old this year and is one of the biggest players in the league. At this age, it is unrealistic to expect Dirk to perform well.
At this time, the team had no choice but to let McGee play.
McGee...he's a superstar with a head, but he really doesn't have enough brains.
This season, McGee has also performed well as a substitute. Just looking at his performance within 10 minutes, it is amazing, but this has a team bonus.
Against the Eagles, McGee played 28 minutes and showed his true colors.
Four turnovers, five fouls, can be called a funny performance, and became a laughing stock after the game.O'Neill was even more happy in the commentary:
"I think the material of the five major embarrassments has been assembled in this game."
Al Jefferson came on, and the problem was big.
This season, after Al Jefferson got older, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the NBA. His speed was too slow. Apart from being able to shoot and attack in the low post, he had little effect on the offensive end.
The Mavericks are undefended inside.
The Eagles broke out directly and won the game.
On the 3rd, the home game against the Grizzlies.
The most brutal of the Grizzlies is the Grizzlies. Everyone in the league knows that they are strong insiders. It just so happened that Gobert was injured. This kind of sourness is unknown to others.
But in this game, the Mavericks went crazy.
If nothing else, it's fast break.
The gray and white bears are too slow, so they can only take advantage of the fast break. McGee has a great advantage in the fast break, with fast speed, and performed many dunks.
Qin Yang scored 28 points and 12 assists and won the game in three quarters.
灰熊队发挥最出色的是麦克康利,15中9,依靠罚球拿到30分4助攻2篮板。
Winning a game finally stabilized the mentality of the team.
But immediately after the 5th, the Mavericks lost again in an away game against the Thunder.
The Thunder are not weak. Even without Kevin Durant, they are still a strong team in the league. After Gobert was injured, Westbrook's efficiency increased greatly, and he performed well in attacking the inside.What is even more embarrassing is the two insiders of the Thunder. Adams played well, scoring 18 points, 17 rebounds and 3 blocks, and Kanter scored 16 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists.
Russell Westbrook scored 35 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, leading the team to victory.
When it comes to positional battles, the Mavericks are not good enough.
It's not that the Mavericks are not strong, but that the lineup determines that they can't play positional warfare.
Nowitzki, Nurkic, McGee, and Al Jefferson were unable to support the Mavericks' inside line alone. When they met Adams and Kanter, they were abused.
After the game, Qin Yang talked directly to Coach Carlisle.
"Coach, it's time for a change!"
Qin Yang's mentality was a little depressed. It wasn't that he lost consecutive games, but that the team had no way to deal with the losses. When Gobert was on the court, the team had no problems inside, so other problems were covered up.
After all, the team can't sign other outstanding insiders without lack of insiders, and the team's salary pressure is also great.
But as soon as Gobert was injured, he was embarrassed.
Al Jefferson is almost a display, and he only comforts him for his performance in the past few years, and he will definitely leave next year. Nowitzki is too old.
Nurkic is obviously not good at being the defensive core.
McGee...you can still make up for the time period of playing. If you play for too long, it will be funny, so this game cannot be played.
Coach Carlisle also had a headache on his face. No one expected it to become like this.
"Bruce, what's your opinion? The team did have some problems recently. It's because we didn't prepare well."
Qin Yang didn't say anything either.
To be honest, I suggested not to lay off Al Jefferson, because I was cheating my teammates. Otherwise, I would find another insider, who can be used at the top now.
"Coach, I think we can learn from the Warriors and play five tactics of death without using insiders."
"kindness?"
Coach Carlisle's eyes lit up, and he was a little moved.
Qin Yang continued: "The Five Death Tactics is actually not a good tactic. It has too many flaws. If you are not careful, you will be targeted. As long as the inside defense is strong enough and the outside line is oppressive enough, it is easy to make mistakes and lose the game."
The five small lineups of death seem to be very powerful, but in fact they have too many flaws.
The Warriors played against the Mavericks, and they often lost.
As long as the outside line puts pressure on the Warriors, and the inside line Gobert protects the frame, the efficiency of the dead five will be greatly weakened.And on the defensive end, the death five small lineup is not good enough to deal with the Mavericks' offense at all.
This tactic is an extreme offensive tactic, which maximizes the offensive, but not the defensive end.
The Mavericks have not used it before, but now, it may not be impossible to try.
Because there is no choice.
"This idea is very good, you can try it, I will communicate with Kevin first!"
Coach Carlisle immediately had an idea that the Mavericks would actually be more suitable for playing the Five Death Tactics, but Durant would be wronged in this case.
Durant has to play inside.
This is the position Durant hates the most.
