Chapter 822 Regret and Change
Getting the MVP of the All-Star Game is just a trivial embellishment for Qin Yang.
After the All-Star break, the Mavericks' game took a turn for the worse.
Nurkic's playing time has been suppressed this season, but unfortunately, when he was fighting for rebounds, Nurkic sprained his arm and is expected to rest for two months.
This injury caught the Mavericks by surprise.
Although the Mavericks introduced Cousins inside this season, in fact, until this time of the All-Star Game, Cousins still had no idea of playing.
In the past two months, Cousins has not been able to recover from his injuries.
Rushing out is not a good thing.
This also means that the Mavericks now only have Gobert, McGee and Dirk Nowitzki inside.
Nowitzki is really about 40 years old. At this age, he can't run anymore, and he can't do much on the offensive end except jump shots.
Therefore, the Mavericks only had McGee and Gobert inside.
This is terrifying.
On the 25th, when the Mavericks played against the Heat at home, they played very passively.
The Heat team is not strong, but the Heat team played very well in this game.
Wade, who returned to the Heat, recovered again. During the substitute time, he led the team to play very well and caused two fouls to Gobert.
And the team boss Goran Dragic is very sharp in pick-and-roll tactics.
Gobert made five fouls in three quarters and couldn't play.
Without Gobert inside, it will be very difficult to play.
It is obviously not enough for McGee to guard the inside line alone, so he must use his teammates to distract part of his energy and not let the opponent break through easily.
After the main defense broke through, the Heat were able to shoot more easily from the outside.
This is another dilemma.
The Mavericks fought fiercely for four quarters. At the last moment, Qin Yang hit two consecutive three-pointers and intercepted Wade's pass to seal the victory.
It's hard to win this game.
Immediately afterwards, the Mavericks finally lost against the Raptors in an away game.
Leonard, who came to the Raptors, performed well and integrated with the team, and the Raptors' lineup is not bad. In the past, the Raptors lacked a superstar who shot at a critical moment, and the team lacked toughness. Now Leonard's arrival perfectly complements the last piece.
In the Eastern Conference this season, the Raptors rank first.
It's amazing, isn't it!
It's the Raptors first again.
Hey, why do you say again.
No matter how the Raptors are not favored by others, anyway, in the regular season, they always have an excellent record and an unbelievable record.
The Celtics are widely favored, but they have big problems.
Stevenson can't solve the team's problems, because the team has too many swingmen, Kelly Irving, Smart, Hayward, Jaylen Brown, Tatum, Rozier.
Even if you play a lineup with one big team and four small teams, with six perimeter players, two of them must be on the bench.
This will cause dissatisfaction.
There are too many potential stars, and there are also contradictions.
Now the Celtics' happy troubles have appeared. When other teams' swingmen are missing, the Celtics' swingmen don't know who to choose.
Smart played very well when Kyrie Irving was injured.
But this season, Smart's playing time is only a little over 10 minutes, which is simply too miserable. Smart has expressed his dissatisfaction with the team many times in private.
But the Celtics must give Kelly Irving the ball, because Irving will be a free agent next season. If Irving chooses to leave, it will be a big loss.
The same problem also appeared in Gordon Hayward.
Hayward switched from the Jazz to the Celtics, but after he came, he had very little possession of the ball and his statistics were much worse, and he was widely questioned.
This cooperation is more like a loss for both parties.
To trade Hayward, Shan Stevenson may not be willing. This is the direct line he brought up in college, but he can trade other people, but he is reluctant.
The situation for the Celtics is complicated.
This complexity is not easy to fight.
The players all want to express themselves, but the tactics are not as good as last time, and the record is mediocre.
Against the Raptors, Qin Yang made the final shot. After Leonard finally got the ball, the Mavericks chose to foul. Leonard made 2 of 2 free throws steadily and won the game.
Losing to the Raptors, the pressure on the Mavericks is even greater.
This season, many people think that the Mavericks can break the record of 72 wins again, but the Mavericks have lost five games in the previous game, which means that if this record is to be broken, the Mavericks can only lose four games in the next two months.
This is a very difficult goal.
Next, the Mavericks defeated the Jazz, Hornets, Timberwolves and Kings in home and away games.
But then, the Mavericks lost to the Bulls away.
The Chicago media finally got angry once. The Bulls played very hard on their home court and played very well.This season, the Bulls signed Jabari Parker for 500 million in two years.
Jabari Parker, who was known as the combination of Duncan and Olajuwon in the past few years, has been suffering from injuries.
But the Bulls decided to take a risk on the signing.
For a two-year contract, other teams dare not give it, but the Bulls dare, because the Bulls' big contracts have been traded away, and the salary simply cannot meet the league's requirements.
Most of the team are potential rookies, and Jabari's contract is not particularly big.
At worst, two years are due, and that's fine.At that time, it happens that the potential rookies in the team can be renewed. From this point of view, the Bulls did nothing wrong.
But this season Jabari averaged 20+10 per game and suddenly exploded.
The second place of the year showed a strange brilliance.
Jabari Parker, who has no injuries for the time being, is indeed outstanding, and Zach Laven, Kris Dunn and others also played very well.
The Mavericks were helpless on the inside, although they played well on the outside, but in the end Zach Lavin succeeded in the lore.
Zach Laven scored 15 of 11 in this game, with a super high shooting rate and a scary efficiency value, even Qin Yang couldn't match it.
Things in the world are unpredictable.
When Jabari Parker left, the Bucks had no opinion, because the Bucks didn't want to take risks, so they came up with a reason, saying that Jabari Parker and Giannis Antetokounmpo were at odds.
In this way, there is no problem.
Giannis Antetokounmpo's talent is on the list, and everyone can see it. There is nothing wrong with the Bucks choosing him.
But after recovering from his injury this year, Jabari Parker performed very well.
Halfway through the season, the face has already begun to be slapped.
And Zach Lavin.
Zach Laven gave the impression that he dunked well and bounced well, but his defense was poor.
That's because the Timberwolves have Towns and Wiggins, and Zach Laven is only the team's third choice. Now that Zach Lavin has become the team's main scorer, he has shown the demeanor of the team's boss.
That's right, in just one season, Zach LaVine was recognized as the boss of the Bulls.
This season, Zach Laven averaged 28.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. This score is simply off the charts, much higher than last season.
From the point of view of the scoring area, Zach Laven has almost no dead ends.
He also shot 35 percent from beyond the arc.
In this game, Zach LaVine felt hot and in excellent condition, which was the main reason for the Bulls' victory over the Mavericks.
