NBA Dallas’ Secret ‘Dual Core CPU’
NBA Dallas’ secret ‘dual core CPU’… Just give it to the two who are good at it
Overcoming criticism of ‘Doncic doing it alone’ and advancing to the championship game… In KBL, Sono is similar.
Basketball for the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, who reached the championship game for the first time in 13 years, is defined by the ‘dual-core processor central processing unit’ (CPU).
Just as the CPU is responsible for the core computing power in a computer, ball handler Luka Doncic is the most important in Dallas’ offensive development.
He monopolized the ball for several years and was virtually in charge of Dallas’ game management. 온라인카지노사이트
Local commentators trying to explain this kind of basketball often mention the term ‘Heliocentrism’.
It is translated as heliocentrism or ‘sun-centered model.’
Doncic refers to a game model that is organized like a planet with the sun at the center and the rest spinning around in orbit.
From the 2019-2020 season, when the Doncic-centered system was established, to last season, Dallas fell in the first round of the playoffs (PO) twice, and reached the Western Conference finals in the 2021-2022 season, but failed to advance to the championship.
There was criticism that there was a problem with the game model as the team did not perform as well as expected even with a player of unprecedented talent named Doncic.
There is an inherent limitation in a team where a large portion of the offense is focused on one person.
In fact, Doncic held the ball the longest in the regular league for three seasons starting from the 2020-2021 season.
In the 2021-2022 season, he held the ball alone for over 9 minutes out of the 48 minutes of total game time.
Of the 48 minutes, our side holds the ball for about half of the time.
Here, excluding situations where the ball is flowing, such as rebounding or shooting, holding the ball for 9 minutes is not common even in the NBA.
When it was pointed out that Doncic’s playing style needed to be changed as the limits of ‘saving’ were visible, Dallas’ answer was to bring in one more CPU.
Dallas, which sent Jaylen Brunson, who originally formed a one-two punch with Doncic, to the New York Knicks, recruited Kyrie Irving during the 2022-2023 season.
Irving is also a player with excellent individual skills while holding the ball, and some were skeptical about whether he was the right resource to make up for Doncic’s weaknesses.
Dallas, which failed to advance to the PO in the first season of recruiting Irving, did not give up on the existing division of basketball in the 2023-2024 season.
Rather, we chose to further strengthen and complement it.
At the trade deadline last February, Daniel Gafford was acquired from the Washington Wizards and PJ Washington was acquired from the Charlotte Hornets.
Gafford, who is 208 cm tall, and Washington, who is 201 cm tall and famous for his long arms, are not talented in managing the game or developing offense.
Instead, he is good at fighting high, and when a good pass comes in, he scores a lot of points.
The guard team, led by Doncic and Irving, brought in players who would be responsible for the rest, such as defense and rebounding, so that they could focus more on offensive development, game management, and scoring.
After the trade, the winning rate rose to 74.1% (20 wins, 7 losses), and Dallas, which was competing to advance to the PO, won the 5th seed with 50 wins and 32 losses.
The LA Clippers (4th place), Oklahoma City Thunder (1st place), and Minnesota Timberwolves (3rd place) met at PO all have high rankings, but when looking at the period after the trade, their win rate is lower than Dallas.
Doncic’s ball possession time in PO this season has come down to 8 minutes again.
This is thanks to Irving holding the ball for about 5 minutes and 20 seconds, alleviating the burden on offense.
When Doncic’s stamina was low or the defense was adjusting to a repetitive pattern, Irving stepped in and the top three teams in the West collapsed with an offense that continued steadily throughout the game.
In particular, Minnesota is the team that allowed the least points (106.5 points) in the regular season, but struggled in five games against Dallas, conceding an average of 111.2 points.
If Dallas surpasses the championship opponent Boston Celtics (64 wins, 18 losses in the regular league, 1st place in the East), it will be a monumental example that proves that it is possible to win even through ‘closed basketball’.
Attention is being paid to whether a new formula will be established in which if the burden is too great for one person to handle, there will be no problem if it is shared between two outstanding players.
In basketball, there is a common belief that since it is a team sport, it is correct to attack while touching the ball with multiple players, and the point to watch in the championship game is whether Dallas can serve as a counterexample.
Previously, the team that showed impressive performance with basketball similar to Dallas was the Houston Rockets in the 2017-2018 season.
At this time, Houston also created a dual-core system by combining James Harden and Chris Paul, who, like Doncic, boasted overwhelming offensive power.
Houston, which took first place in the West with 65 wins and 17 losses, bowed to the champion Golden State Warriors in the conference finals with 3 wins and 4 losses.
At the time, Golden State was the most powerful team of all time, with ‘scoring machine’ Kevin Durant joining Stephen Curry’s team at a voluntarily lower price than the market price.
Houston, which had an advantage over this team with 3 wins and 2 losses, suddenly bowed out during the 5th game due to the unfortunate event that Paul, one of the pillars of the system, left due to injury.
In Korea, the game of Goyang Sono, centered around Lee Jeong-hyun, who has grown into the best guard in the game, is evaluated to be similar to Dallas.
Coach Seung-gi Kim, who has heard this kind of evaluation, said that he has not yet seen Dallas’ recent PO game because he is concentrating on recruiting players.
Coach Kim said through the club, “Now that my busy schedule is over, I tried to binge-watch (the Dallas game).”
