At critical moments, the Mavericks' defense is still worth relying on.

This year's Mavericks can be said to have no big flaws, and they are very balanced on both offensive and defensive ends.

Paul George, Qin Yang, and Mitchell are on the court, and the outside defense is very strong and strong, Mitchell has not played for a long time, but he has been reused at critical moments, because the rest of the Mavericks have played too long and have insufficient physical strength, but Mitchell has been playing for average time during this period and has full physical strength.

After two overtimes, a physically strong player will have a big advantage.

Curry, Thompson, Green, all three held the ball once, but none of them found an opportunity to attack, and finally Durant once again singled in the mid-range.

Paul George defended and didn't give Durant a chance at the crucial moment.

Durant had no choice but to turn around and jump shot, the basketball arc was obviously high, and it bounced out after hitting the basket.

McGee grabbed the rebound and passed it to Qin Yang.

Qin Yang received the ball, did not hesitate, and passed directly to Mitchell, who was about to go.

Mitchell was full of physical strength, and everyone else was very tired, including Qin Yang, who had been fighting for more than forty minutes, and under the high-intensity confrontation, he was tired like a dog.

Qin Yang is tired, and the core of the Warriors team is also tired.

Mitchell catches the ball, makes a quick layup, and flies to score on a dunk.

At the critical moment, this violent buckle, like a sharp blade, pierced the weakened Warriors into the abyss.

This is a violent dunk, and the Warriors players can't keep up.

NBA players, even James, who is physically strong and strong like a gorilla, can only play a little more than 40 minutes under high-intensity confrontation.

Even attentive fans will notice that James sometimes paddles when he plays on the court.

It's not that James doesn't want to play, it's a wit.

No one can stick to a high-intensity confrontation all the time.

Neither can James.

Under normal circumstances, in high-intensity confrontations, 30 minutes is the limit of a player, and after 35 minutes, the player's form will drop significantly.

No one is Captain America, it's Spider-Man, the players are just normal people who are stronger.

After a long time, the confrontation weakens.

The Warriors couldn't stand it.

When the Warriors attacked, the offense with the ball obviously couldn't be opened, and in the end, Curry ran back, received the ball and scored a backhand layup.

But looking back, Mitchell singled Curry and forced a layup to score.

Curry couldn't take it.

The clock was over, and after the final half-minute, the Mavericks finally got the win.

The four-star Warriors played against the four-star Mavericks, and in the end, the Mavericks won through two overtimes, and the margin was terrifying 169-166.

This score is the highest in the NBA in the last two decades.

Not one of them.

And this game also caused a sensational impact.

TNT News:

"It's the best offensive battle in the NBA in the last 20 years, and if you don't have a fan watching the game, you can go back and watch the footage, and I don't think you will be disappointed. Four superstars with 40+ points, which is unique in NBA history. ”

Fox News:

"The shocking battle, Kevin Durant 51 points, Bruce Qin 53 points, Stephen Curry 42 points, Paul George 40 points, this is one of the biggest performances in NBA history."

New York Sports News:

"Maybe the presence of the Mavericks and the Warriors has made the league less competitive, but I have to say that the game between them is very exciting, there has never been such a sharp offense, so attractive to fans, there have never been so many superstar matches, this is the best game in the NBA in a decade."

Los Angeles News:

"There isn't one of the best games in the NBA, and I think it's hard to have games like that in the future, because it's hard to replicate the classics."

There are too many coincidences in this game.

First of all, superstars feel very good and can't strike iron all the time.

Secondly, the defense is relatively weak, or the scale of blowing penalties is very strict, which gives the team the opportunity to play heartily and cooperate heartily, and gives the superstar a chance to play.

Otherwise, there will be so many points in large-scale defense at every turn.

Finally, the squad has to be sharp.

The Mavericks' current roster is already paying the luxury tax, with a luxury tax of twenty or thirty million per year, which is still more cost-effective for the Mavericks' players than other players.

And the same goes for the Warriors.

Draymond Green and Klay Thompson face contract extensions next year, and it is impossible to stay with the team at all, and there will definitely be problems with the lineup of the dead five.

Durant may not be paid more than $20 million a year.

So it's hard for the Warriors to put together such a lineup.

The two teams are destined to fall apart.

Playing like this once in a while, the league is supportive, playing a season or two of dominance and games, but all the time it goes, other teams definitely can't stand it.

Now the league's attitude towards the Mavericks has changed.

In the first two seasons, the Mavericks encountered a bit of a special blow, but fortunately, the Mavericks were strong enough to win the championship in the end.

This season, with the Warriors attracting firepower, it's much better than the Mavericks.

The Mavericks only have two superstars on the surface, Qin Yang and Paul George, and Gobert said that the superstars are a bit too much, and Cousins is seriously injured and will definitely leave next year.

Compared to the combination of the Warriors' splash brothers, Gadramon Green and Kevin Durant, the Warriors are underdogs.

After playing the Warriors, the Mavericks felt more confident.

Mitchell's back-to-back scoring in the final moments greatly boosted his confidence, and after this game, Mitchell's form got better and better. Scored 25+ points in five consecutive games.

This data is also starting to attract the attention of the league.

Kobe Bryant commented in an interview: "Donovan Mitchell is the most like me player in the league, and he's going to be a superstar. ”

Mitchell's physicality is excellent and a rarity at shooting guard.

Compared to singles skills, Mitchell is really strong.

In terms of active shooting guards, it is difficult to find a better scoring guard than Mitchell, and this kind of talent that can be seen by the eyes is needless to say.

Most teams are starting to request a trade from the Mavericks.

As long as you get Mitchell, you can get a future superstar, which is a bargain.

Compared to last season, this season, the chips given by other teams are much better, and several teams are willing to give up first-round picks.

But...... That doesn't please the Mavericks.

Mitchell's contract is still three years after this year, and for such a long time, the Mavericks don't need to be in a hurry, but other teams are in a hurry.

Manager Don Nelson Jr. also asked Qin Yang's opinion.

Qin Yang gave his own answer:

"It's okay to trade him, Donovan doesn't fit the team's tactics, he has too many singles with the ball, and it's hard to practice without the ball, so as long as you can trade draft picks and quality players, it's no problem."
