http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=17868 A number of Dallas Mavericks fans are having a hard time connecting the dots this season. We hear team owner Mark Cuban and head coach Rick Carlisle talk about how deep the team is, how they can compete with the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference, and how Tyson Chandler and Brendan Haywood combine to form the best front court tandem in the NBA. . . Then the team takes the court and none of that talk seems to ring true. They lose back-to-back home games to a non-playoff team (Memphis) that was missing their All-Star starting power forward (Zach Randolph) and a huge conference rival (Denver) that was missing their entire front court (Nene, Chris Andersen, Kenyon Martin). How do we make sense of the claims about how great this Dallas team can be in light of their repeated ineffectiveness on the court? Actually, Carlisle himself explained it pretty well as his team prepared to play the Boston Celtics on Monday night. "They've been a top defensive trade since the (Garnett) trade three or four years ago," said Carlisle. "They're extremely efficient offensively, which helps their defense. For us, I think it's key to be really efficient offensively, really efficient with the ball. The turnovers really hurt. They throw a wildcard into the mix and mess up your chances to be consistent defensively. We've got to bring those down and I'm confident that we will. That said, our game is a little different from their game. We need to get the ball up and down the floor a little more than they do, and that starts with getting stops on defense and then, when we kick it out we have to take care of it." This is something we hear and over from Carlisle, and while those of us who spend most of our time watching and analyzing the game of basketball understand it, casual fans may not. There are two key issues here: turnovers and half court sets. When the Mavericks commit turnovers, as they have been doing in wholesale club packs this season, they create easy baskets for their opponents. When they force turnovers, they create easy scoring opportunities for themselves. These two simple concepts are true for every team in the league, but unlike the elite teams, the Mavericks have a very hard time scoring when they aren't in a transition situation. If you watch Mavericks basketball you've seen this. When the Mavs are stopped and forced to run a half court set, they give the ball to Dirk Nowitzki and then stand around and wait for him to do some of that MVP stuff. They're a little bit spoiled in this sense, because Nowitzki is one of the best players on the planet. He is more than capable of creating something out of nothing. He did it on three straight plays against the Celtics, helping the Mavericks come up with a big come-from-behind win, but is that really a championship formula? Hardly. The Mavericks are a deep team, with very talented players. Nowitzki, Jason Terry, and Caron Butler are capable of putting up big numbers on the offensive end and Jason Kidd can still facilitate with the best of them. But when you slow the game down and force the Mavs into a half court set you can beat them. Part of that is a personnel issue, but the coaches have to shoulder their share of the blame. You have to be able to use your players and gear your game plan towards their strengths. Right now the Mavericks coach staff is struggling to do that, and that's why Mavs fans are finding a disconnect between the rhetoric coming out of the Mavs' front office and the results when the team takes the court. 小牛高层不断宣称自己是支很阵容很深的球队 但是球队表现出的样子不像是如此 小牛最近几场比赛输给了不是季後赛的球队 目前表现如此的原因归咎於失误和"半场进攻模式" 相信看小牛比赛的球迷都见过这景象 小牛控球把球带过半场後丢给Dirk 然後剩下四个人就开始发呆准备看Dirk表演 Dirk可以从不可能中创造出得分机会 但是这样真的是一个想争夺冠军的球队吗? 目前小牛的教练团对此相当苦恼 当你有一群有好球员时 球队不该只是如此 终於有外电把运过半场把球给Dirk战术拿出来讨论了0.0.... --
