Jokic has a very arrogant temperament and a big temper.

If you perform well at a young age, you have to get a big contract, ask for team status, ask the team to end the contract after the second year, and give yourself a big contract.

It's just hilarious.

Jokic is also really a superstar embryo, but he is extremely slow to move and is not good at defending the interior, so he really can't be the core of the team.

Maybe Jokic would be a very good choice to be a second-in-command, but Jokic is not such a person.

This is destined to be a fruitless answer.

So, this deal came about.

It's not right or wrong, it's just not appropriate.

But as soon as Jokic said that, the game took on a different meaning. This game has also received more attention as a result. The conflict between the player and the predecessor is the most beautiful.

The media reported wildly, and Qin Yang was also interviewed.

Qin Yang:

"Jokic and Nurkic are both very good interior players, maybe in the eyes of a lot of people, Jokic is more talented, more versatile, but for the Mavericks, Nurkic is more suited to the team's tactics and is more suitable to partner with us, so we made no mistake."

"It's just a normal game and it doesn't mean anything else, so I won't make any comments on it. The Nuggets are a strong team and we don't take it lightly. ”

The Nuggets are really strong.

But there is no suspense that this game is destined to lose, because the Nuggets' own thinking has changed.

The Nuggets' starting interior line is Nurkic and Daco Milicic, this starting interior is very embarrassing, Nurkic has to ask for it every time, he needs the ball to play, and Darko is the boss of the team and also needs the ball.

In this way, the two inside lines are tactically incompatible.

Others are even harder to fight.

If the ball is not distributed well, the team's attack will be chaotic.

On the defensive end, Jokic's presence dragged down the Nuggets, and the whole team had such a weakness, and the Mavericks played more easily.

Qin Yang broke through, shot directly from the middle distance, and hit Jokic three times in a row.

Jokic looked helpless, the Nuggets called a timeout, and when the timeout came back, the Mavericks began to change tactics again, and the Nuggets' defense was chaotic and completely unstable.

The departure of George Karl this year has caused a lot of waves for the Nuggets.

Although Mike Malone quickly took over the coaching whip, his control of the team dropped significantly.

In team competition, harmony and cohesion within the team are always more important than individual ability. The Nuggets are clearly distraught. This season, the Nuggets started to fall behind.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Qin Yang once again confirmed the victory with a three-point shot.

Nurkic rarely played against Jokic throughout the game, and the stats were a bit worse, but the team won comfortably.

On February 28, he faced the Timberwolves at home.

The Mavericks led 42-24 in the first quarter and directly beat the Timberwolves.

Although the Timberwolves' Karl Anthony Towns shot 4-of-6 and got 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, the Mavericks played well as a team, shooting 17-of-25 from the field, directly widening the difference.

One section, it's going to be garbage time.

That's pretty awesome.

As a result, February's game was over, and after the All-Star break, the Mavericks won five games in a row, and their record immediately increased.

Although there is still some way to go before the end of the regular season, there is no doubt that the Mavericks will definitely make the playoffs in the next games.

A lot of teams ready to snipe the Mavericks extinguished that idea.

Unless Qin Yang misses 70 percent of the regular season, it will be too difficult to keep the Mavericks from entering the playoffs.

The next races proved that.

In the fourteen games from March 1 to March 31, the Mavericks won 12 games.

Among them, the Trail Blazers won one game against Qin Yang, Lillard was in super shape, McCollum played very well, the Mavericks were not in good shape, Qin Yang was constantly beaten by Al Amino's defense, and in the last minute, Qin Yang failed to kill and lost the opportunity to turn the tables.

The Warriors also won one.

The Splash Brothers' performance is going against the sky. Klay Thompson and Curry are in excellent form, scoring 40 and 41 points respectively, and they are surprisingly good.

In addition, Draymond Green is 7 out of 9, and it feels hot.

This game couldn't be played, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Qin Yang was replaced, and the Mavericks conceded defeat in advance.

If the Warriors are in such good form every game, then the game is really unplayable.

Other than that, the Mavericks won all of their other games.

The game in April was even better than in March.

In recent years, the gap between the NBA's strong teams and weak teams has become wider and wider, and many teams have won very miserable, plus next year is a big year for the draft, many teams have begun to mess up, and this year's NBA commissioner Adam Silva said in public that he is not slow to put the team bad, saying that new policies will be introduced in the future to curb this kind of regulation.

The NBA doesn't have a formal minor league, and there is no promotion or relegation, so no one cares about the mess.

In next year's draft, there are a lot of potential rookies participating, and teams such as the 76ers and Lakers are crazy and undisciplined.

What Zijin aristocrats, when it comes to the critical moment, they also deliberately lose.

The NBA is inherently a business league, and there are no exceptions.

With 12 games won in March, the Mavericks have won 40 games, so just three wins in April will make the playoffs.

Therefore, how the next game is played is very important.

There was a lot of controversy among the team's internal meetings and the Mavericks coaching staff.

Coach Rick Carlisle thinks we should try to get the best spot so that the game will be better: "The Western Conference has a close record this year, and we're not too far off the Rockets, Trail Blazers, Grizzlies, and even the Clippers, so we can try to fight for fourth place so we can have more home-court advantage." ”

Home field advantage is a good thing, and it's very important in the playoffs.

Teams with home-court advantage tend to take the lead in the playoffs.

But the team's assistant coach, Luke Wharton, disagreed.

Luke Walton is a newcomer, but he is very bold and innovative, and he has made great achievements in the team's offensive and defensive tactics, but sometimes he is too bold and does not have a strong ability to control the team.

Luke Wharton:

"We can choose to be seventh in the West, so we can play against the Spurs in the playoffs, and the strongest team in the West this year is the Warriors, and we will play well against the Warriors before the finals, and at the same time, we can hone the form of the players, which is more conducive to winning the championship."

None of the rest of the team has much of an opinion.

Coach Carlisle was a little vacillating, and Luke Wharton was right, but the first round against the Spurs always felt very unreliable.

The strength of the Spurs is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

For more than ten years, the Spurs have never made the playoffs after selecting rookie Duncan, winning the championship three times, which can be called a super team, and it takes a lot of courage to choose the Spurs in the first round.

At this time, Qin Yang stood up.
