Chapter 623: We're Stronger, Defense Wins
The Partridges are strong, but the Mavericks are even stronger.
In this game, the Mavericks opened up all the outside.
Qin Yang scored 40+ points for the first time this season, with an astonishing statistic of 43 points and 15 assists.
The Mavericks' outside shooting percentage was more than 60%, Vince Carter was 6 of 8, Cosby was 5 of 7, Seth Curry was 4 of 6, Corey Brewer was 5 of 5, and Livingston was 4 of 7.
No way, after a season, everyone in the team doesn't necessarily have such a high hit, but this game is really explosive.
Rudy Gay was 4-of-14 from the field and his shooting percentage remained dismal.
The good thing is that Rudy Gay is still working with the team, even if the timing of the shot is not good, but the cover runs are starting to get a little interesting.
Al Jefferson and Nowitzki were a bit dismal defensively, shooting instead of the Mavericks from the perimeter in this game.
Anthony Davis played superbly, with 31 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.
But it doesn't do anything.
The overall coordination of the Partridge team is still flawed.
Tony Parker and Gordon are both playing alone, Anthony Davis is also playing alone, the team is not a whole, and the fighting power is not as strong as imagined.
After the game, the post-match interview was also very interesting.
Both Al Jefferson and Nowitzki are blacking themselves out because their two shooting percentages are the lowest on the team, and as the lowest shooting percentages on the inside, it's a bit miserable.
Al Jefferson:
"To be honest I'm enjoying a game like this, yes, I only had 11 points and 12 rebounds today, but we still won, sometimes it's so easy to have a good team, and this season, for sure, we can make the playoffs, I have that confidence." 、
God has special faith.
Even if Al Jefferson doesn't play, the Mavericks can make the playoffs, which is an absolute strength.
Nowitzki also teased: "We didn't play well with the big guys, but it doesn't matter, we have time to adjust and the team is going in the best direction." ”
Nowitzki is generally as steady as a dog, and as a big man on the outside, he once entered the 180 club, which is simply terrifying.
This season, Nowitzki has also started playing healthy basketball.
Qin Yang highly praised Anthony Davis after the game:
"There's no doubt that Anthony Davis is already the best player in the league, and in his position, there are few active players who are opponents, and even Dirk is not playing as well as he should be, does that need me to say anything?"
Qin Yang's poisonous milk.
Anthony Davis is playing well, but really better than Dirk, it's hard to say.
The role of a player is sometimes not something that can be reflected in the data.
For example, the Heat renewed their contract this year, the first one is to renew Bosh with the highest salary, without Bosh, the Heat can't play, this is the reality.
The tactical role of Bosh is extremely important.
The Mavericks' tactical role is similar.
This season, Qin Yang rarely plays alone, it's not that he is not confident, but it's really unnecessary, Nowitzki attracts defense, and the team's tactics are smoothly coordinated.
Singles training, Qin Yang is in the virtual training room.
On November 3, the Mavericks played the Celtics at home.
The Celtics are still rebuilding, and in previous seasons after the Celtics Big Three were traded, the team's boss became Rajon Rondo. But Rondo clearly didn't lead the team to the rise.
Just kidding, a guard who can't shoot is the core?
How good the team's brains are!
Last season, the Celtics were selling Rondo, but it was clear that other teams couldn't pay the price and the trade didn't work out.
In this game, Rajon Rondo was very low-key and didn't dare to make a big statement before the game.
Qin Yang and Rondo are no longer players of the same level.
The game was uneventful and uneventful.
Qin Yang got 18 points and 6 assists in a low-key manner and went to rest, the Mavericks won without suspense, and Rondo played very average in this game.
He shot 3-of-12 from the field and finished with seven points, 15 rebounds and nine assists.
A lot of people say that Rondo's triple-double is a score, and that's true.
The Celtics hoarded draft picks, and then drafted Smart and others, and the future rise is expected, but no one knows where Rondo will go then.
On November 6, the Mavericks played the Trail Blazers away.
The Trail Blazers have been stronger again this season, and the combination of Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge has become more mature, and their strength has basically reached its peak.
In addition, Batum, Matthews, McCollum, Lopez, Chris Carman, Steve Blair are all strong.
Unfortunately, the Mavericks were encountered.
The Mavericks' magic weapon to win this time was defense.
The Trail Blazers' outside defense is not weak, but compared to Qin Yang and Rudy Guy, two defensive strongmen, the Trail Blazers are not enough to see at all.
Rudy Gay is very talented on the defensive end, and he has unlimited changes to the perimeter.
Except for LaMarcus Aldridge Rudy Gay couldn't defend, no matter how misplaced the other positions, Rudy Gay defended well.
Qin Yang's defense is also very good, but his strength is much weaker than Rudy Gay, and Qin Yang has to spend more energy on the offensive end, so he doesn't dare to contribute too much on the defensive end.
The outside line was suppressed, and even if LaMarcus Aldridge didn't get 20 points and 7 rebounds on 10-of-16 shooting, it didn't help.
Rudy Gay played well in this game, with 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, which was the best in these games.
It's just that Rudy Gay is still unfamiliar with the Mavericks' shooting rhythm.
These points were all scored by Rudy Gay who went straight to the basket after receiving the ball, Rudy Gay's air cut run is not very good, but he is fast, powerful, and talented, and can make up for some tactical mistakes in many cases.
The performance of this game also gave Rudy Guy confidence.
On Nov. 7, the Mavericks played the Jazz again.
This time away from home, there was no pressure to win.
After a day of rest, the Heat host a tough opponent, last year's Finals opponent, the Mihami Heat.
In last year's Finals, the Mihami Heat were targeted by the Mavericks for their doubtful lives, and the shortcomings of Wade and James' lack of shooting were exploited to the extreme.
And this offseason, James' departure turned the Heat from championship favorites to a playoff-level powerhouse.
The Heat have also become the saddest team of the season.
But that doesn't mean the Heat are underdogs.
In an interview before the game, Qin Yang expressed his attitude:
"The Heat is still a strong team, and James' departure has certainly reduced the overall strength of the Heat, but the Heat is still an opponent that cannot be ignored, and James's departure has released the energy of the rest of the people to some extent."
Qin Yang's words spread out, causing a lot of controversy.
An expert from TNT came forward to refute Qin Yang's claims:
"Obviously, after the win, Bruce thinks that James's strength is nothing more than that, and James' presence has suppressed the development of his teammates, which is different from what most people think."
