Chapter 781: Predicament, Eruption

The No. 28 Mavericks face the 76ers on the road.

It's an old opponent again, and this time Ben Simmons didn't play as well as the last game, because the Mavericks were more targeted on the defensive end.

The current 76ers have no way to negotiate other than Ben Simmons' breakthrough and Embiid's interior singles.

Covington catches the ball and shoots the ball is the best way to score.

Against such a team, the Mavericks don't want to play too easily.

As soon as the game began, Qin Yang went straight to singles.

On the first ball, Qin Yang pulled the ball and stepped back, worshiped the Buddha, and hit a quick stop jump shot, and then on the defensive end, Qin Yang cut off Ben Simmons' ball and made Simmons foul again.

And that's not even the worst of it.

In the opening five balls, Qin Yang was single, which directly caused Simmons to commit 2 fouls, Qin Yang relied on 5 free throws and scored 13 points, and Simmons was stunned.

76ers head coach Brett Brown saw this and replaced Simmons.

Without Simmons, the 76ers wouldn't be easy to play.

Qin Yang was full of energy and wanted to perform, and scored 22 points and 3 assists in the first quarter, leading the team to take the lead.

In the second quarter, Embiid began to exert force.

Now this kind of interior line, Gobert is not easy to defend, and can only rely on team strength to reduce Embiid's efficiency value. The 76ers played tough in the second quarter, relying on Mitchell's things and inefficiency to save some points difference.

The Mavericks' idea of developing Mitchell now is obvious, but there is no way to do it.

Seth Curry is obviously inferior to Mitchell in this aspect, and other people's ability to hold the ball is also limited, but Mitchell dares to fight, even if the efficiency value is not high, he dares to play.

However, overall, Mitchell's shooting percentage is still higher than 40%.

This efficiency value is already very high in the eyes of outsiders, but compared to the whole team of the Lesser Bulls, Mitchell is definitely the man who bears the blame.

In the third quarter, Qin Yang continued to exert his strength.

Durant is not there, Qin Yang will be tired, but it is not without benefits, at least Qin Yang can show himself willfully and do not have to worry about the ball.

Everyone else is fully cooperating with themselves.

Attacking with the ball, assisting teammates, passing, catching and shooting, Qin Yang showed his all-round side, and got 20 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds in the third quarter.

In the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, the difference widened to 21 points, and Qin Yang went down.

Throughout the game, Qin Yang once again got 52 points, 13 assists, 6 rebounds and 1 steal.

This is the second 50+ score of the season.

If you change to the predecessors, you can definitely boast of half a season, but for Qin Yang, the score of 50+ has appeared many times.

On the contrary, after the game, many media criticized Qin Yang for making too many shots.

Chicago Sports News even wrote:

"The Mavericks are in a predicament now, during Kevin Durant's injury, their dominance is no longer there, every game, Bruce Qin has to work hard to score, which affects the overall tactics of the Mavericks, so as to barely maintain the victory, I think he can't maintain this state for a long time, when he doesn't feel good, that's when the Mavericks lose, and then the Mavericks will turn badly and collapse!"

That doesn't seem to be a bad statement.

But that's a bit of nonsense.

In the past, there were few points and few data, saying that Qin Yang lacked data, no performance, and no dominance, but now there are more points, saying that Qin Yang has too many shots, which affects the team's tactics.

It's a little bit of a festive!

But there's nothing wrong with that.

The No. 30 Mavericks play the Jazz on the road.

The Jazz team is very bad this season, the team boss was robbed by the Celtics, and the Jazz team is willing to give the same annual salary, but people are willing to go to the Celtics, which makes the Jazz uniform team depressed.

Who made Hayward's college coach Stevenson, the current head coach of the Celtics?

Now basketball, the role of the coach is becoming more and more important to the team.

In this game, Qin Yang's hand felt bad.

Defending Qin Yang is Seforosa, with extraordinary defensive ability, Qin Yang opened with continuous iron, played 6 times in a single quarter, and directly pitted his teammates.

The Jazz at home should not be underestimated at any time.

Salt Lake City's Devil's home stadium is no joke, there is a longer home atmosphere, and the combat power soars more than a little bit.

The Mavericks hit back-to-back irons, trailing in the first quarter and trailing in the second.

Until the third quarter, Qin Yang was finding his state and narrowing the difference.

And in the fourth quarter, the two teams began to fight defensively.

The offense was unfavorable, so he fought defense, Gobert, Nurkic, Qin Yang, James Ennis, and Corey Brewer played five people, and they used defense to grind the Jazz to death in the fourth quarter.

In the end, the Mavericks won the game 93-89.

It was the only game this season in which the Mavericks didn't score more than 100 points.

Qin Yang also played well in the positional offense, although he played 13 irons and made 12 of 25 from the field, he still got 31 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Sometimes, positional warfare isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Qinyang data broke out again.

No. 1, the Mavericks play the Los Angeles Clippers away.

The Clippers are really miserable, they have always been pressed by the Lakers, and finally waited until the time of their rise, but they failed to enter the Western Conference Finals, and the team owner was swept away because of racial discrimination.

However, that doesn't mean the Clippers are easy to play.

The Clippers are still strong.

Starting Beverley, Gallinari, Jordan Jr., Griffin and Rivers Jr.

This starter, except for Prince Rivers Jr., who is slightly worse, everyone else has strength, and the only shortcoming of the Clippers is the lack of a reliable boss to unite the team's combat power.

Of course, the most pitiful thing is the coach of the team.

In this game, the Clippers ate dumplings once, and the front pair was in excellent form.

Gallinari returned to his prime, how to shoot, how to shoot, Qin Yang turned back to Yulian, Beverley also had a high hand, and he hit ultra-long-distance three-point shots.

Although Griffin's interior lethality has dropped greatly, his mid-range shots are becoming more and more stable.

As a result, the score dragged on until the fourth quarter.

Qin Yang scored 61 points, 9 assists and 3 rebounds to lead the team to victory again.

Qin Yang scored 50+ points for the third time this season and 60+ points for the first time.

After this game, the media began to shift and the league began to hype.

TNT News begins with an expert report:

"Kevin Durant's injury may be a bad thing for the Mavericks, but it's definitely a good thing for the fans, because Bruce can finally free up his offensive power and get extremely exaggerated points, and if it goes on like this, Bruce Qin may be able to average about 35 super points per game."

"He's likely to break a series of records, and that's Bruce's true strength!"

On November 3rd, they faced the Partridges at home.

This is another war of the century.
