On the first ball, Thackeray made James Harden an offensive foul, and James Harden wanted to appeal, but was not recognized.

The team stabilized a little.

But it's still hard to fight.

Howard has an obvious advantage in interior rebounding, Harden has been impacting, and it is difficult for the Mavericks to pull away the score, and the difference between the two teams is almost alternately increasing.

Four minutes into the second quarter, Qin Yang went to rest.

The Rockets pulled away in a wave.

Fortunately, at this time, Nowitzki stepped up and scored consecutive points to stabilize the situation, but the disadvantage on the inside was helpless.

At this time, Al Jefferson's disadvantage came out, and in the face of Howard, Al Jefferson performed more averagely.

The efficiency is no different from the average outside line, and there is no advantage in rebounding.

Qin Yang and Nowitzki's outside projection were still above the level, but the team's point difference was difficult to close, and it wasn't until the beginning of the fourth quarter that the Mavericks began to exert their strength with Qin Yang's help.

Qin Yang hit a three-pointer, Cosby hit it, and Nowitzki made a layup.

Francisco Garcia hits mid-range shot.

The Mavericks attacked in waves, scored sharply on the fast break, and directly opened the score, and the Rockets were stunned and had no power to fight back.

In the end, although the Rockets wanted to reverse, the Mavericks stabilized and did not give the Rockets a chance.

At 116-113, the Mavericks won the game again.

In this game, James Harden made 11 of 17 and got 34 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. This efficiency is going to be against the sky.

4-of-8 from three-point range and 8-of-9 from the free-throw line.

With 17 shots, he scored 34 points, including two points on one shot, and when counted as a two-point shot, James Harden shot 100 percent from the field.

Terrifying!

But after the game, the Rockets were not so happy.

Howard was visibly unhappy after the game: "The team should have done a better job defensively, we need to be more focused, otherwise it's hard to win no matter how many points we score,"

Howard had 13 points and 16 rebounds in this game, which is a good stat.

But there was no possession.

Less than your Magic's possession.

After the game, Howard called Qin Yang: "If I knew this, I might as well play in Dallas with you." ”

Howard's displeasure is palpable.

Qin Yang didn't say anything, if Howard and Qin Yang played together, the number of shots per game would be roughly this number, not much higher.

Unless Howard can put his mind right, the two will also have conflicts together.

It's a necessity.

On the other side, James Harden also complained to Qin Yang after the game: "He didn't come to assist me at all." ”

Qin Yang can only comfort James Harden that things will get better and better.

What can Qin Yang do, the more desperate Qin Yang is!

On November 2, back at home, the Mavericks faced the Grizzlies.

This game was not supposed to be a big game, and the Grizzlies and Mavericks did not have any big hatred, but before the game, the media reported on this game.

TNT News:

"The NBA's traditional interior center is becoming more and more rare, but there are two interior centers that have performed very well in these two seasons, especially on the offensive end, and the other interior players can't raise their heads, these two guys, one is Zach Randolph and the other is Al Jefferson, and this game will be the battle of the century for the two."

Nima, where did the battle of the century come from.

Qin Yang's face darkened when he saw his teammates discussing the news.

But the players eat this set, and Al Jefferson even invited guests to dinner in the team, and let go of his wild words: "Everyone has to pass the ball to me in this game, and I want to fight to the death with Zach to let them know who knows the strongest center." ”

Qin Yang was desperate when he heard this.

After pulling Al Jefferson aside, Qin Yang asked solemnly:

"Do you want data or do you want to win?"

Al Jefferson froze.

After being stunned for a moment, Al Jefferson replied, "Of course it's to win, I've got a lot of data, but it's useless." ”

Al Jefferson has had a long stat since he was traded to the Timberwolves.

Averaged 20+10 per game for two consecutive seasons.

But...... Only get the title of a data brush. The most important reason for Al Jefferson to enter the Mavericks this season is because he wants to win and wants to win championships.

Qin Yang's strength and ability to lead the team have been recognized, and he won the championship with Howard, and went to the Kings team to quickly win the championship. After leaving Qinyang, Howard changed several teams to be weak chickens, and the Kings were even more weak. Al Jefferson is not smart, but he is not stupid either, he has victory with Qin Yang, and there is meat to eat, so why should he die by himself.

"In that case......

Qin Yang patted Al Jefferson's arm: "In the next game, you reduce your shots, pay attention to the top man on the defensive end, pay attention to the ball on the offensive end, if you don't have a chance, don't force the hit, pass to the teammates in the empty space on the outside, we can win this game." ”

"Good!"

Al Jefferson nodded.

Qin Yang said it, and Al Jefferson definitely has no opinion.

Being able to win is more important than anything else, otherwise no matter how good the data is, the team will lose and it will be a data brush.

The competition has officially begun.

The team's interior starters were Al Jefferson and Nowitzki.

On the first ball, Marc Gasol jumped the ball successfully, and after the Grizzlies' McConley passed half court, he broke through directly with the help of cover, and Vince Carter was a step slower.

After getting to the inside, Conley scored an easy layup.

Al Jefferson defended simply wasn't in place.

Qin Yang stood on the field, directly grabbed Al, and said: "Defense, Al, you have to pay attention to defense, you can not defend well, but you can't not defend." ”

Al Jefferson nodded.

Sometimes it's a good thing to be pushed and reprimanded, because it shows that the team and the players care about you, otherwise you wouldn't have this opportunity.

Al Jefferson will be fine.

Mavericks offense.

Qin Yang dribbled the first ball from the outside and hit it from mid-distance.

Defending Qin Yang is Tony Allen, this kind of player, Qin Yang is the most annoying, but this is not a playoffs, the defensive scale is very small, and Qin Yang's hand is not bad, he directly dribbled behind his back and threw off half of his body with rhythm, and then hit the board in the middle distance.

Grizzlies offense.

Zachlandovka takes the ball and singles Al Jefferson.

Zach was also a data brush before, and the pre-match comments obviously had some influence on Zach, because Zach Randolph has been widely praised in recent years.

The real giant, the real C king, are all used to describe him.

Of course, it's not that the cup is C.

After getting the ball, Zach leaned on Al Jefferson and didn't move, and this time Zach knew that Al Jefferson was not easy to deal with.

In the NBA for so many years, there are not many opportunities for the two to play against each other.

This time, Zach Randolph was full of energy, and the first ball Zach Randolph hooked his hand in the low post, and the basketball jolted a little, and finally hit.

Mavericks offense.

Al Jefferson didn't rush into the interior after the cover, but instead stood up high on the left side.

At this stop, Zach Randolph could only follow.

Swap someone else out of place, and Al Jefferson will play well.

On the right side, Nowitzki moved on the baseline, Vince Carter and Nowitzki covered without the ball, Qin Yang broke through halfway and passed directly to Vince Carter.

Vince Carter scored a direct inside dunk.

Marc Gasol is on the right side, Zach Randolph is on the left, the inside line is empty, even if Vince Carter doesn't cut empty, after Qin Yang breaks through, it is easy to rush into the inside line to score.

The Grizzlies' problems haven't changed in the past two years.

Whether it's trading Mayo or Rudy Gay, it's not critical.

The game is still not difficult to play.
