The biggest upset of NBA2011-12 season and the playoffs is no doubt that the defending champion Dallas Mavericks, the Oklahoma City Thunder swept out. The fourth post-match press conference, last year's Finals MVP Dirk - Dirk Nowitzki wear Mercurial Vapor Viii conceal his disappointment. "Such an outcome is indeed very hard to endure." He said.

In fact, the Mavericks defending the road from the beginning left Debu flat: the loss of important players, signings failure, age, further aging a number of factors so that their dreams become lopsided, until they are completely broken. In other words, the seeds of failure has long been buried.

So, exactly what causes the Mavericks defeat out? The following three points should be worth to ponder:

1) Management tightening

The reason why the Mavericks last offseason let go of the hero to win Tyson - Chandler, because their boss Mark - Kuban to prepare the next set of a larger chess game.

We do not need to doubt the sincerity and enthusiasm of the Kuban basketball, bought the Mavericks more than ten years, he spent how many dollars is for all to see. That O'Brien trophy last season, is also his best return. Kuban well aware of: If the Mavericks want to win more championships, or even build a Dallas dynasty ", the core lineup must be strengthened. In other words, he needs the introduction of more powerful players.

Won the first championship trophy in franchise history, the management of the Mavericks began to tighten policy, that is, save money, they can not have Tyson - Tyson Chandler wear Nike Mercurial Vapor Viii injury in the body to continue to invest and are ready to wait until the summer of 2012 with the money saved by the pursuit of restricted free agent DeLong - Williams, then rely on "Deron Texas" This combination lure contract expires Dwight - Howard in the summer of 2013.

Howard Williams, Dirk Nowitzki, the core lineup is enough to help the Kuban achieve some Albert, but just stay in the dream stage. And calf taken by the management of this austerity policy, so that they sacrificed this season.

2) outnumbered

The Mavericks have been able to last year's finals win over the Miami Heat, the performance of key players, Nowitzki wear Mercurial Vapor 8 of course great, but can not do without the excellent play of those role players. In other words, the Mavericks won in a deep bench.

However, before the start of the season, Chandler, Jose - Juan - Barea and DeShawn - Stevenson and other key players have been leaving the team, replaced by Delong Te - West wear Nike Mercurial Vapor Viii ag Vince - Carter can not play its due role in the playoffs. The introduction of the beginning of the season from the Lakers Odom called a flaw.

From this point of view a series of game, Nowitzki's performance is still eye-catching, two games, scoring 30, as well as a 25 points. Alone but he was not enough, the entire Mavericks team actually only Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry both scoring over 20 points, while Terry just in the first game in 20 minutes.

"Look at that branch to beat our team, every game someone to come forward. First two Russell - Westbrook, third Durant, the fourth field is James - Harden Dirk Nowitzki wear Nike Mercurial Vapor Viii fg remarks are explained his helplessness.

3) underestimate the "Avenger Union"

NBA on a Jibei in the first round of the playoffs to sweep out the defending champion who is?

The answer is: Miami Heat.

In fact, talking about the Heat team that won the outside world is still talked about the reversal of the Dallas Mavericks in the finals, but little mention of the Chicago Bulls. 2005-06 season, the first round of the playoffs, the Miami Heat 4-2 Bulls. Although when the Bulls are still very young, but already have some young players is strong, such as this - Gordon, lol - Deng and Kirk - Kirk Hinrich wear Nike Mercurial Vapor Viii ic , with unlimited potential. Sure, in the second year, this Bulls swept the defending champion Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs 4-0, reported revenge.

From this perspective, today's Thunder errors like when the Bulls? Moreover, from the strength point of view, the Thunder is clearly more powerful, they have the NBA super have to break up Durant, Westbrook wear Nike Mercurial Vapor Viii tf Harden's ability to attack is enough to be discharged into the league's top 10. In addition, their regular-season record hold high the west.

The NBA, there are so many teams: They are young, energetic, excellent talent, due to the inexperience of the furnace before the defeat at the hands of the strong. But as long as, in time, they can look and defeat the once strong, then the successful ascent.

These teams can be classified as "Avenger Union. Unfortunately, the defending champion Dallas Mavericks, hit such an aggressive "Avenger".
