Chapter 701: The world is impermanent, and Geng Zhiwei is few

The arrival of James Ennis and PJ Tucker was supposed to be just a substitute, but as the game progressed, the characteristics of the two began to come into play.

They can cooperate on the offensive end, shoot well, and they are good on the defensive end.

As soon as it is opened, the shortcomings of Cosby, Seth Curry and Cory Brewer come out.

Cosby's defense is too poor, as he gets older, he gradually becomes a substitute this season, and his playing time is gradually decreasing, and Seth Curry's defense is also poor, if he can't attack with the ball a little, Seth Curry's playing time will be shorter. Cory Brewer is similar, shooting too poorly on the offensive end, which affects Cory Brewer's play on the court.

Fortunately, the team players are not crowded, and the players are resting in rotation, and the playing time is still guaranteed.

After Jokic left, the ball was spread out and the Mavericks weren't much of a problem.

On February 21, the Mavericks host the 76ers.

The 76ers have been hopelessly rotten this season, and of course, the 76ers' uniform team may be happy about it, as it's clearly a draft year with plenty of potential rookies.

It is said that the Lakers and the 76ers no longer want Bilian in order to mess up.

The 76ers traded all the players who had the power to sell them, and the team was crooked, while the Lakers sent the ace Kobe Bryant to continue the battle for forty minutes.

Fortunately, Kobe Bryant is old and can't play that long per game, otherwise the Lakers would really be able to compete with the 76ers.

Qin Yang played the whole game for 9 minutes, and then began to cheer for his teammates off the field.

It's truly a magical world.

It's incredible that the 76ers' best player is Robert Covington, who was undrafted in previous years, and now has become the 76ers' most efficient and high-performing player.

Well, by the way, Covington used to be a Rockets outcast.

Since Morey became the team's manager, the name of the former Rockets player has resounded across the league.

Although Morey's trading ability is lacking and his judgment of the situation is problematic, it is undeniable that Morey has found a lot of problems through data analysis.

For example, three-point shooting percentage, such as defensive efficiency...... These issues, which ordinary people do not pay attention to, will appear in front of Morey.

Covington is one such origin, similar to P.J. Tucker.

However, PJ Tucker is stronger and slightly slower.

On Feb. 24, the Mavericks played the Thunder away.

During the warm-up, Qin Yang and Kevin Durant hugged by mistake, like a man wearing a pair of pants, and the other players looked confused.

In this year's All-Star Game, Qin Yang and Kevin Durant played very well, both of them can hold the ball, pass the ball, and play without the ball, and they cooperate very tacitly.

After returning to the team, Durant felt the contrast.

This teammate really can't cooperate!

"Kevin, I won't show mercy, don't blame me if you lose!"

Qin Yang said unceremoniously, Kevin Durant drooped his face and was silent, he couldn't answer this, because he was destined to be abused, and he said what he was doing.

In this game, the starters were Qin Yang, Seth Curry, Rudy Gay, Nowitzki and Gobert.

Dirk is a pseudo-starter and will also come off the bench.

It was Seth Curry who defended Westbrook.

This made Westbrook furious.

Seth Curry has received a lot of attention this season, because on the one hand, it is the younger brother of All-Star Game MVP Stephen Curry, and on the other hand, it is the bonus of Qin Yang's teammates.

The older brother is a superstar, and his teammate is the first person in the league, and Seth Curry will inevitably be brought out to talk about things.

Fortunately, Seth Curry's mentality is very good, otherwise it would have to collapse.

Seth Curry has few other shortcomings, but the defense is the same as Stephen Curry, very scum, Seth Curry's strength is too weak, and his physical fitness is even weaker than Stephen Curry.

Westbrook saw Seth Curry playing, and he was immediately furious.

From the very beginning of the game, Westbrook was angry at Seth Curry.

Seth Curry paused and tried to defend Westbrook as best he could...... Although the effect is minimal.

At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks easily led by nine points.

During the break, Seth Curry couldn't help but complain next to Qin Yang: "Bruce, why do you use me as a background board every time, can you change someone?" ”

In the first quarter, Seth Curry almost got beaten up in doubt.

Westbrook is really upright, since the Mavericks don't change defenses, then keep fighting. Seth Curry was carried hard and beaten again and again.

This time, everyone knows how bad Seth Curry's defense is.

It's a defensive black hole.

Almost every time, Westbrook was able to break through with relative ease, although he was interfered with by Gobert in the end, and he also hit the iron from mid-range, but no one doubted that Westbrook blew Seth Curry up.

Qin Yang hugged Seth Curry with a smile on his face:

"Seth, you have to learn to defend, even if you can't defend it, you can pay more attention to the rules, you can raise the defense above the level, and your strength is too weak, it will help you to be broken by Russell a few more times, at least in the summer, you won't resist strength training anymore."

Seth Curry was speechless.

In this game, Seth Curry played a staggering 30 minutes.

But by the time he got off the court, Seth Curry was tired of being a dog.

Against Westbrook at the full-time, it is foreseeable how far Seth Curry will be abused. But as a result, Westbrook had 31 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists.

The Mavericks went into garbage time in the third quarter.

There is no suspense about winning.

Kevin Durant was 8 of 15 and had 22 points, 6 assists and 7 rebounds with super efficiency, but he could only watch Westbrook go 8 of 24 and bury his hopes of winning.

Durant was silent and was relatively silent after the game.

It's useless to keep talking, and now the team can't just talk about it.

Before the injury, Durant and Westbrook did not cooperate well, but it was still within the normal range, but after returning from the injury, Durant found that the situation had changed.

The team's support for them is dwindling, and Westbrook is starting to dominate the ball at will.

On average shots per game, Westbrook has three or four more shots than Durant.

Everyone on the team has no opinion, coaches, owners, managers all acquiesce to this fact, maybe when Durant was injured, Westbrook's three consecutive games and 50+ points made him supported in the team, Durant has lost the trust of the team.

This is an unacceptable result.

Durant has thoughts of leaving.

After the game, Qin Yang did not evaluate Russell Westbrook at all.

The Thunder may get a lot of attention because of Westbrook, but if Westbrook is the boss, they will definitely not be able to lead the team to a championship.

Getting the stats and winning the game are two different things.

On February 26, the Mavericks hosted the Nuggets.

That's right, it's Nikola Jokic's team.

Not long after the trade, Jokic said in an emotional tone in an interview:

'I'm really looking forward to meeting again, finally I can come to this place again and meet my former team-mates, maybe it's a good game.'

"I'm not going to show mercy, and I'm going to use timing to prove how stupid the Dallas people are when they choose to trade me."
