Chapter 451: Chapter 150: Chaotic Dance of Demons in Dallas, Messiah in Inner Demonic Turmoil (10,000-Word Update in a Single Day, Please Subscribe)
Nash still needs time to think about the future.
And Qin Yue’s desire to bring Nash on board is hardly a sudden whim.
This season, no matter how hard he tried, Qin Yue, who seemed destined to experience failure, has deeply realized the limits of his current personal abilities.
After all, basketball is a five-person sport.
No matter how strong a superstar is, exceptional teammates are required to compete for the championship.
Qin Yue undeniably delights in the excitement brought by challenges, but that doesn’t mean he enjoys playing with a bunch of CBA teammates every day.
Although the Warriors have not yet fallen to such a level.
But before Qin Yue can decide his own fate and become an unrestricted free agent...
He must also ensure that the Warriors’ roster remains competitive.
As for whether team owner Chris Cohan is willing to spend money on this team?
Since he has personally torn off Cohan’s mask...
Qin Yue’s attitude is bound to become tougher day by day.
Moreover, through earlier probing, Qin Yue has already found out Cohan’s bottom line.
This has put him in an invincible position in the tug-of-war with the team owner.
As long as Cohan cannot bear the cost of losing him...
Qin Yue has ten thousand ways to make him spend money on the team obediently.
...
After defeating the Suns and returning home, the Warriors faced the Dallas Mavericks, who have undergone a coaching change.
The new head coach of the Mavericks is Mike Woodson, a former Hawks coach and early disciple of Larry Brown.
However, it must be clarified for Coach Woodson that...
Although he indeed inherited Brown’s defense...
Woodson, known for his flexible and varied coaching style, does not resist, and will even actively demand that players figure out how to convert those damn long two-pointers by stepping on the line into three-pointers...
A famous three-point enthusiast.
In later years, the Knicks, once second in the East during regular season with Anthony at their core, were under his guidance.
In the 12/13 season, under his lead, the Knicks averaged nearly thirty three-point attempts per game, ranked first in the league.
In short, after Little General Johnson was dismissed, the Mavericks indeed found a coach exceedingly compatible with their current playing style.
Moreover, before the trade deadline, the "frustrating" Steve Kerr personally delivered Shawn Marion to Dallas.
This allowed Woodson to quickly build a tactical system for the Mavericks that balanced offense and defense.
In addition...
After Duncan’s departure, the San Antonio Spurs, increasingly obsessed with saving money, gifted Ian Mahinmi’s signing rights to the Mavericks last summer.
Initially, Mahinmi could only play limited minutes under Avery Johnson, but after the coaching change at the Mavericks, he was immediately favored by Woodson.
In Woodson’s eyes, with Jason Kidd, Nowitzki, and Terry, the Mavericks already possess formidable offensive firepower.
And no matter how much weight Dampier loses...
The soon-to-be 33-year-old center has inevitably shown a decline in foot speed and help defense ability.
Therefore, even if Mahinmi’s offensive ability is approaching zero...
His defensive range, extending from the paint area to the three-point line, is exactly what the Mavericks currently need.
It is worth mentioning that in the original historical line, Mahinmi was also a member of the Mavericks team that "wiped out Shituo Ridge" in the future.
However, at that time, the Mavericks, who had the "high-end Mahinmi," otherwise known as Tyson Chandler, could not provide Mahinmi with more opportunities to showcase his talents.
But this defensive center, who could even shine in the small-ball era, is definitely a quality interior player.
In the latter half of the regular season, under Woodson’s leadership, the continuously victorious Mavericks have already raised their ranking to third in the West.
Through tactical design, Woodson not only provided Nowitzki with substantial protection on the court but also, under his strict orders, had Nowitzki, free to shoot liberatedly during games, deliver an impressive performance .
Before the coaching change, Nowitzki, deprived of shooting rights by Johnson, averaged only 20.8 points per game.
After the change, Nowitzki’s averages are an astounding 34 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists.
Although as subsequent games continue...
Nowitzki’s statistical sheet will surely return to a relatively normal level.
But this coaching change, with its immediate results, allowed Mavericks fans to experience the charm of Nowitzki, the German War Chariot, overnight.
During pre-game warm-ups.
Watching this Mavericks team, which did not part with Marquis Daniels and was using the "Three M" combination to escort Nowitzki on the court...
Qin Yue suddenly felt as if he was watching "Journey to the West."
Because at this very moment...
This team, led by the "Silver Horn King" of the "Ugly Men" squad, looked like a bunch of demons and monsters no matter how you look at it.
Even Jason Kidd, who had shown signs of aging, became handsome compared to his teammates.
Qin Yue chatted with Nowitzki for a while before the game.
Since being defeated personally by Qin Yue in the playoffs years ago, Nowitzki has been inextricably linked with Qin Yue.
In this life, the "German Marshmallow" label still attached to Nowitzki was affixed by Qin Yue himself.
However, Nowitzki did not bear a grudge against Qin Yue for this.
In Nowitzki’s view, since Qin Yue defeated him fair and square, he naturally admired Qin Yue’s dominance.
"If you guys had changed coaches earlier, maybe the player competing with me for the scoring title this year would have been you, Dirk," Qin Yue joked.
