Chapter 816 Potential Transaction
At critical moments, the Mavericks' defense is still worth relying on.
This year's Mavericks, it can be said that there are not too many flaws, and the offense and defense are very balanced.
Paul George, Qin Yang, and Mitchell are on the court, and the perimeter defense is very strong. Mitchell didn't play for a long time, but he was reused at critical moments, because the rest of the Mavericks played too long and lacked physical strength.
With two overtimes played, players with plenty of stamina will have a big advantage.
Curry, Thompson, Green, the three of them held the ball once, but they didn't find an opportunity to attack. In the end, Durant played singles again in the middle distance.
Paul George defended and did not give Durant a chance at the critical moment.
Durant had no choice but to turn his back and shoot a jump shot. The arc of the basketball was obviously high, and it bounced out after hitting the basket.
McGee grabbed the rebound and passed it to Qin Yang.
Qin Yang received the ball without hesitation, and passed it directly to Mitchell who was about to come down.
Mitchell is full of energy, and everyone else is very tired. Including Qin Yang, they have played for more than 40 minutes. Under the high-intensity confrontation, they are exhausted.
Qin Yang is tired, and the core of the Warriors is also tired.
Mitchell received the ball, made a quick layup, and scored a flying dunk.
At the critical moment, this dunk, like a sharp knife, stabbed the weak Warriors into the abyss.
With this dunk, the Warriors players couldn't keep up.
NBA players, even James, who is physically strong and strong like a gorilla, can only play a little more than 10 minutes under high-intensity confrontation.
Even fans who pay attention will find that when James is playing on the court, he sometimes paddles.
This is not that James does not want to play, but a kind of wisdom.
No one can persist in high-intensity confrontation all the time.
Neither can James.
Under normal circumstances, in a high-intensity confrontation, three to 10 minutes is the limit for a player, and after 35 minutes, the player's state will decline significantly.
No one is Captain America, no one is Spider-Man, the players are just normal people who are stronger.
Over time, the confrontation becomes weaker.
The Warriors couldn't stand it anymore.
When the Warriors attacked, the offense with the ball was obviously impossible. In the end, Curry ran back, caught the ball and scored a backhand layup.
But looking back, Mitchell singled Curry and forced a layup.
Curry couldn't take it.
Time ran out, and the last half minute passed, and the Mavericks finally won.
The four-star Warriors played against the four-star Mavericks. In the end, the Mavericks won with difficulty through two overtimes, and the point difference was a terrifying 169-166.
This score is the highest score in the NBA in the past 20 years.
none of them.
And this game also caused a sensational influence.
TNT news:
"This is the most exciting offensive battle in the NBA in the past 20 years. There is no one. If there are no fans watching the game, you can go back and watch the video. I think you will not be disappointed. The four superstars scored 40+ points, which is unique in NBA history."
Fox News:
"Stunning battle, Kevin Durant 51 points, Bruce Chin 53 points, Stephen Curry 42 points, Paul George 40 points, this is one of the biggest performances in NBA history."
New York Sports News:
"Maybe the existence of the Mavericks and the Warriors has made the league lose its competitiveness, but I have to say that the game between them is very exciting. There has never been such a sharp offense, such an attractive fan. There have never been so many superstars facing each other. This is the best game in the NBA in ten years."
Los Angeles News:
"There is no one of the most exciting games in the NBA. I think it will be difficult to have such games in the future, because classics are difficult to replicate."
There are too many coincidences in this game.
First of all, superstars feel very good, and they cannot always strike iron.
Secondly, the defense is relatively weak, or the whistle-blowing scale is very strict, which gives the team a chance to play heartily and cooperatively, and gives the superstar a chance to play.
Otherwise, there is no way to score so many points without a large-scale defense.
Finally, the team lineup has to be sharp.
The current lineup of the Mavericks is already paying the luxury tax, which is 3000 to [-] million a year. This is because the Mavericks players are more cost-effective than other players.
And the same goes for the Warriors.
Next year, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson will face the problem of contract renewal. At that time, it will be impossible to stay in the team completely. There will definitely be problems with the lineup of the dead five.
Durant may not have a salary of more than 2000 million US dollars a year.
Therefore, it is difficult for the Warriors to make up such a lineup.
The two teams are destined to fall apart.
Occasionally playing like this, the league supports it, and it will lead to one or two seasons of dominance and games, but if it keeps going like this, other teams will definitely not be able to stand it.
Now the league's attitude towards the Mavericks has changed.
In the first two seasons, the whistleblowers encountered by the Mavericks were a bit special. Fortunately, the Mavericks were strong enough to win the championship in the end.
This season, the Warriors are much better than the Mavericks to attract firepower.
The Mavericks have only two superstars on the surface, Qin Yang and Paul George, and Gobert said that the superstars are a bit too much. Cousins is seriously injured and will definitely leave next year.
Compared with the combination of the Warriors Splash Brothers Drummond Green and Kevin Durant, the Warriors are considered weak.
After playing the Warriors game, the Mavericks are more confident.
Mitchell scored consecutively at the last moment, which greatly enhanced his confidence. After this game, Mitchell's condition is getting better and better.Scored 25+ points in five consecutive games.
This data also began to attract the attention of the league.
Kobe Bryant made a comment during an interview: "Donovan Mitchell is the player most like me in the league, and he will become a superstar."
Mitchell's physical fitness is very good, which is rare for shooting guards.
Compared with singles skills, Mitchell is really strong.
Among the active shooting guards, it is hard to find a stronger shooting guard than Mitchell. Needless to say, this kind of talent can be seen everywhere.
Most teams are starting to apply to the Mavericks for a trade.
As long as you get Mitchell, you can get a future superstar. This deal is too good.
Compared with last season, this season, the bargaining chips given by other teams are much better, and several teams are willing to take out the first-round picks.
But ... that didn't make the Mavericks happy.
Mitchell's contract has three years left if this year is counted. For such a long time, the Mavericks don't need to be anxious, but other teams are anxious.
Manager Don Nelson Jr. also asked Qin Yang for his opinion.
Qin Yang gave his own answer:
"It's no problem to trade him. Donovan is not suitable for the team's tactics. He plays too many singles with the ball, and it is difficult to practice without the ball. So as long as the draft picks and strong players can be traded, there is no problem."
