On the morning of the 12th, the Washington media broke the news that Cuban was dissatisfied with Nash's defense and angrily complained about Nash in the locker room.

When playing away games, players generally tend to be more restrained in the locker room, because walls may have ears. Cuban doesn't care about this, he is a passion-burning psychopath.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Cuban acted like a good boss most of the time. In fact, the only person Cuban admired was Nowitzki, and he was only good to this person.

In the summer of 2004, Nash returned to Phoenix for $65 million over five years. Cuban later posted thousands of words on his personal website criticizing Nash for being greedy for money before leaving, pointing out that he had once provided Nash with an offer of $51 million over five years.

As a result, Nash responded angrily, accusing Cuban of lying and saying that such things should not be discussed in public. He quickly gained support from the fans, and Cuban was accused of being unsympathetic and unjust.

In the following season, Nash was elected the regular season MVP. Cuban thought Nash was not worth 65 million in five years and became a laughing stock, and his face was swollen.

In the 2005 playoffs, Nash led the Suns to eliminate his old team, the Mavericks, 4-2 in the second round of the Western Conference. During the Mavericks' home game, Cuban made a few fierce gestures at Nash's back as he walked into the tunnel. As a result, he was caught on camera and turned into a clown-like figure, with his face smashed.

Nash talked about Cuban after the game and said with some disdain: "He was very lively tonight, and I also know that after signing with the Suns, he said a lot of things behind his back. This does not mean anything to me, but it is My fighting spirit was aroused.”

Nash and Cuban have been strangers for a long time. Every time he visits Dallas, Nash will chat with Nowitzki and the fans who love him deeply, but he has no words with Cuban.

Cuban's abandonment of Finley made fans even more angry. He has played for the Mavericks for 9 seasons and has long been the spiritual leader of the team and the star that fans support most. As he grew younger, Finley's competitive level gradually declined, from averaging 22.6 points per game at his peak to 15.7 points in 2005. That summer, the league introduced amnesty provisions to help teams control salary space. Cuban immediately became the first person to use this clause, cutting Finley.

This made the Dallas media and fans who were very affectionate towards Finley once again shout that Cuban was ruthless. The funny thing is, Cuban was quickly slapped in the face again, the Mavericks were hacked, and Finley won the championship with the Spurs in 2007.

In short, Cuban is a guy who is very good at defeating his character. Except for die-hard Mavericks fans, everyone supports the Wizards.

In Game 5, Nowitzki's mentality was unbalanced at the beginning. He mainly shot as usual and hit the iron frequently.

Nowitzki can't beat Jordan, Wallace, and Marshall with his skills.

But his shooting accuracy is good, averaging 33 points, 10 rebounds and 2.5 assists in the series, absolute star statistics. This time he started like a blacksmith and the Wizards easily took the lead.

Nash still has problems on the defensive end. He is defeated when he encounters a screen in single defense. When counterattacking, Wesley can also rely on his body to defeat him.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui arranged two defenders and a full-court press to guard against Axel.

Van Exel didn't play well last game, making 5 of 15 shots. Today he was eager to recover the score and started to fight randomly. Without completely getting rid of the defense, he took mid-to-long-range shots.

Tyronn Lue has become a surprise player. He has strong entanglement ability and is constantly close to the opponent. Although he cannot cover him, he will not be easily passed by. On the offensive end, Tyronn Lue is a soy sauce, but on the defensive end, he helps the team.

Barkley gave Tyronn Lue high praise. "He is the kind of player who can match up with the opponent's star when he uses it well. He defended Iverson in the 2001 Finals. When the two faced off, Iverson's shooting percentage was lower than that of the other opponents. Fan It’s hard for Axel to get good shots.”

Smith smiled and said: "Yang Rui praised Tyronn Lue many times during the regular season and said he was very important. It seems to be true."

In Yang Rui's previous life, Tyronn Lue became a coach after retiring, and later became the head coach of the Cavaliers and won the championship with the team. He is physically limited, is an average player, has good football intelligence, and his defensive enthusiasm is as good as anyone's. Dellavedova, who turned Stephen Curry into a blacksmith twice when the Cavaliers defended him, is his disciple.

Van Exel made 2 of 8 shots in a single quarter and missed all 3 three-pointers, taking the Mavericks into a ditch and trailing by 18 points at halftime.

In the second half, Yang Rui continued to stick to small ball tactics and looked for opportunities through the players' constant running.

Although there is a lot of running, the Wizards' tactics are actually not complicated. At most, they send a big man to cover on one side and then cut through the air. Everyone else did not rely on screens and ran directly with the defender. The Mavericks don't need to defend in a zone, that's how the Wizards play. The Mavericks used a zone defense, and Nash was unlucky. There was no negotiation in attacking him fiercely.

Jordan organizes in the middle and can always observe the movements of his teammates and pass the ball to the appropriate position. He sent out 7 assists in a single quarter and had a double-double of 12 points, 3 rebounds and 11 assists at the end of the third quarter.

The Wizards entered the final quarter with a 22-point lead.

Yang Rui called the players together and said loudly: "For the three people who may compete for MVP, I will let you play the whole quarter. I hope you can actively cooperate and ensure victory! This season, we win by relying on the whole team." , we want to show this to the fans. Must win!"

"Must win!" the players shouted together.

Yang Rui sent Wesley, Hamilton, Bell, Jordan, Stoudemire, one big and four small. In addition to the trident, the other two are three-point shooters, responsible for drawing out the defense.

Nelson tried his best and sent a double-back combination in the final quarter. Entering the finals, he was completely disappointed with Adrian. He played an average of 15 minutes per game. He couldn't score or defend, and he was a liability. Let the "madman" play, and at least he can attack, and bet on the hand feeling cramped.

Nowitzki was a guest at center, and LaFrentz was abandoned.

Nelson's arrangement determines that Hamilton is the Wizards' most advantageous point. He was facing Van Exel, who was ten centimeters taller. He could use his height advantage to make shots when running to catch the ball.

"Madman" became a loophole on the defensive end. Hamilton made consecutive mid-range shots and threw them at people, making the fans who supported the Wizards happy.

Stoudemire went to set a screen for Wesley. It was easier to block Nash than to block "Madman".

Jordan also continued to show off his power, sending out 6 assists in a single quarter, four of which were given to Hamilton and two to Stoudemire.

Barkley said excitedly: "I can't believe it. Michael tied his career record for the highest assists in a single game. "

"The Mavericks gave up and they couldn't fight back," Smith said.

On March 24, 1989, Jordan had a career-high 17 assists, leading the Bulls to a 128-113 victory over the Trail Blazers. It was only the regular season, and he had 17 assists in the finals, which was undoubtedly greater.

Leading by a big score, his teammates were willing to help Jordan brush up the statistics and take action after receiving the ball. Stoudemire also stuck someone in to help Jordan get rebounds in the final quarter, which made his statistics even better. He and Hamilton didn't want to compete with Jordan for MVP at all.

At this time, even Mavericks fans did not change the channel. Jordan won the championship and retired. Everyone thought the ending was perfect.

On the Wizards' last possession, the Mavericks players gave up on defense. Substitute Tyronn Lue brought the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Jordan. Jordan pressed time from outside the three-point line on the right side and threw the ball toward the basket before the final whistle blew. He had no pressure. The ball had a very good rhythm and went into the net!

This was Jordan's only shot in the fourth quarter, and it was a perfect ending to his career.

120 to 93, the Wizards won the championship in an upset 4 to 1!
