Chapter 623 We Are Stronger, Defense Wins
The Partridges are strong, but the Mavericks are stronger.
In this game, the Mavericks opened up all the outside lines.
Qin Yang scored 40+ points for the first time this season, scoring an astonishing statistic of 43 points and 15 assists.
The Mavericks shot more than 8% from outside. Vince Carter was 6-for-7, Casspi was 5-for-6, Seth Curry was 4-for-5, Corey Brewer was 5-for-7, and Livingston was 4-for-[-].
No way, after a season, the hits of everyone on the team may not be so high, but this game really exploded.
Rudy Gay is 14 of 4, and his shooting percentage is still dismal.
The good thing is that Rudy Gay is still cooperating with the team. Even if the timing of the shot is not well grasped, the cover movement is starting to be a bit interesting.
Al Jefferson and Nowitzki were defended a bit bleakly, but the Mavericks' shooting percentage in this game was not outside the Mavericks.
Anthony Davis played superbly, with 31 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks. He overwhelmed the audience and almost left hope for the Partridge team by himself.
But this is of no use.
The overall coordination of the Partridge team is still flawed.
Both Tony Parker and Gordon are playing alone, and Anthony Davis is also playing alone. The team has not become a whole, and the combat power is not as strong as imagined.
After the game, the post-match interview is also very interesting.
Both Al Jefferson and Nowitzki are blackmailing themselves, because the two of them have the lowest shooting percentage in the team. As an insider, the shooting percentage is the lowest in the team, which is too miserable.
Al Jefferson:
"To be honest, I enjoy this kind of game very much. Yes, I only had 11 points and 12 rebounds today, but we still won. Sometimes it is so easy to have a good team. We will definitely enter the playoffs this season. I have this confidence.",
God is so confident.
Even if Al Jefferson does not play, the Mavericks can enter the playoffs, which is an absolute strength.
Nowitzki also joked a few words: "Our big men didn't play well, but it doesn't matter, we have time to adjust the state, and the team is moving in the best direction."
Nowitzki is generally as stable as a dog. As a big outside line, he once entered the 180 club, which is simply terrifying.
This season, Nowitzki also started playing health basketball.
Qin Yang highly praised Anthony Davis after the game:
"There is no doubt that Anthony Davis is already the best player in the league. In his position, few current players are opponents. Even Dirk's performance is not satisfactory. Do I need to say anything?"
Qin Yang's mouthful of poisonous milk.
Anthony Davis played very well, but it is really better than Dirk, which is hard to say.
The role of players is sometimes not reflected by data.
For example, the Heat renewed their contract this year. The first one is to renew Bosh with a maximum salary. Without Bosh, the Heat will not be able to play games. This is the reality.
Bosh's tactical role is extremely important.
The Mavericks play a similar role.
Qin Yang seldom made singles shots this season. It wasn't that he didn't have confidence, but it was really unnecessary. Nowitzki attracted defense, and the team's tactics cooperated smoothly.
For singles training, Qin Yang is in the virtual training room.
On November 11, the Mavericks played against the Celtics at home.
The Celtics are still rebuilding. After the Celtics Big Three were traded away in previous seasons, the team boss became Rajon Rondo.But Rondo obviously didn't lead the team to rise.
Just kidding, a guard who can't shoot is the core?
How useful the team's brains are!
Last season, the Celtics were selling Rondo, but obviously, other teams couldn't pay the price, and the transaction was unsuccessful.
In this game, Rajon Rondo was very low-key and did not dare to speak nonsense before the game.
Qin Yang and Rondo are no longer players at the same level.
The game was flat, with no explosive points.
Qin Yang scored 18 points and 6 assists in a low-key way before taking a rest. The Mavericks won without any suspense, and Rondo's performance in this game was very average.
投篮12中3，拿到7分15篮板9助攻。
Many people say that organizing Rondo's triple-double data is a score, which is true.
The Celtics hoarded draft picks and drafted Smart and others. The future rise is expected, but no one knows where Rondo will go.
On November 11, the Mavericks played an away game against the Trail Blazers.
The Blazers have become stronger again this season. The combination of Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge is more mature, and their strength has basically reached its peak.
In addition, Batum, Matthews, McCollum, Lopez, Chris Kaman, and Steve Blair are all very strong.
Unfortunately, I met the Mavericks.
The magic weapon for the Mavericks to win this time is defense.
The Blazers' outside defense is not weak, but compared to Qin Yang and Rudy Gay, the two defensive strongmen, the Blazers are not enough.
Rudy Gay is very talented on the defensive end and can switch defenses unlimitedly.
Except for LaMarcus Aldridge and Rudy Gay who can't defend, no matter how the other positions are misplaced, Rudy Gay defends very well.
Qin Yang's defense is also very good, but his strength is much weaker than that of Rudy Gay, and Qin Yang has to spend more energy on the offensive end, so he dare not contribute too much on the defensive end.
The outside line was suppressed, even if LaMarcus Aldridge did not score 16 points and 10 rebounds in 20 of 7, it would not help.
Rudy Gay played well in this game, with 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, which is the best performance in these games.
It's just that Rudy Gay is still not familiar with the Mavericks' shooting rhythm.
These scores were all obtained by Rudy Gay's direct layup after receiving the ball. Rudy Gay's air cut running position is not very good, but he is fast, strong, and talented, and can often make up for some tactical mistakes.
The performance of this game also gave Rudy Gay confidence.
On November 11, the Mavericks played against the Jazz again.
This time in the away game, there was still no pressure to win.
After a day's rest, the Heat ushered in a strong opponent at home, the Miami Heat, their opponent in last year's Finals.
In last year's finals, the Miami Heat were targeted by the Mavericks, and the shortcomings of Wade and James who were not good at shooting were exploited to the extreme.
The departure of James this offseason has turned the Heat from a championship favorite to a strong team in the playoffs.
The Heat have also become the most tragic team this season.
But that doesn't mean the Heat are weak.
In an interview before the game, Qin Yang expressed his attitude:
"The Heat are still a strong team. Although James' departure has reduced the overall strength of the Heat, the Heat are still opponents that cannot be ignored. To some extent, James' departure has released the energy of the rest of the team."
Qin Yang's words spread, causing quite a controversy.
An expert from TNT came forward to refute Qin Yang's statement:
"Obviously, after Bruce won, he thought that James' strength was nothing more than that, but James' existence suppressed the development of his teammates. This is different from most people's perception."
