In the first quarter, the Eagles called three timeouts.

All three timeouts were played by Al Jefferson.

No one expected Al Jefferson, who was turned into a data brush and a colander, to perform so well. The inside singles are almost invincible.

Neither Al Horford nor Millsap are underdogs, and the Hawks are among the top 10 in the league this season.

However......

Al Jefferson, who was not favored by the media and experts, was miserably abused.

Footsteps under the basket, hook hands on the left and right, face frame offense, mid-range shots, back-to-back singles, Al Jefferson's interior offense is simply textbook-level.

At the end of the first quarter, the entire Dallas home court was in a boil.

The commentary seat was full of amazement:

"A lot of people say that the Mavericks are weak on the inside this season, but if you look at Al's performance, maybe he didn't do well enough on the defensive end, but he's still the Wolves who are strong on offense, at least on the inside, Al Jefferson is one of the strongest in the league."

"Dallas made a good deal, and the salary of more than $10 million a year was definitely worth it."

……

In the second quarter, Qin Yang did not play.

But Al Jefferson is still performing.

Calderon came off the bench as a very good point guard, at least in terms of passing and controlling the tempo.

With Al, the team doesn't need to break fast, look for opportunities to shoot on the outside, and shoot on the inside if there is no chance.

Or the main El Jefferson.

Jefferson was also a big bunch of fire.

Since entering the league, Al Jefferson has been considered a lack of talent, why not enough, because of his height.

But height is natural, what can I do.

For this reason, Al Jefferson has gone from being the pillar of the Celtics' interior line to becoming the new wolf king. It's a pity that after the Timberwolves were seriously injured, there was no place for him anymore.

In the past few years, he has been wandering and not being taken seriously.

Defensive colanders, data brushes, these are all called by Al Jefferson.

This time I came to the Mavericks, and finally received attention.

Singles again and again, Al Horford made four fouls, Millsap fouled four, and the Hawks were beaten without tears.

There was no way, the Eagles changed their tactics, played fast offense, and played against offense.

Positional warfare, it's really impossible to fight.

When Al Jefferson came off the court after nine minutes in the second quarter, he was cheered by the audience, and this year's short man inside performance was unparalleled.

The inside line wants to do whatever it wants.

However, although Al Jefferson beats his chest in celebration and roars to the sky every time he scores a goal, the star of the Mavericks is still not him.

Of course, it's not Qin Yang.

It's Thackeray.

Thackeray began to steal the show after he left the game.

Every time a teammate scored a goal and a teammate defended successfully, Thackeray waved a towel and began cheering and celebrating on the sidelines.

That voice, that action, is too in place.

The atmosphere of the scene has changed.

Al Jefferson originally had some opinions about Thackeray, and actually grabbed his starter, but when it was time to get off the field, Thackeray rushed up excitedly to celebrate, handed him a towel and a drink, and Al Jefferson could only smile.

I really can't have an opinion on him.

That's the beauty of Thackeray.

In the third quarter, Qin Yang still played, and Al Jefferson continued to play after resting for a while, and he would not be replaced until the last moment of the third quarter.

In this game, Al Jefferson played 29 minutes and got 21 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists.

On the offensive end, Al Jefferson was flawless.

Maybe the disadvantage is that in defense, I didn't do a good enough job.

But the Mavericks clocked out in three minutes in the fourth quarter at home.

Qin Yang was 8-of-12 and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring 24 points and 21 assists, while Nowitzki was 8-of-14 and also scored 24 points.

In this case, there is no suspense that the Mavericks will win.

Gobert also played well inside, scoring after being knocked out of the way, but he did a very good job of interfering with shots.

This rookie at the end of the first round is far better than people think.

The first game is over.

Qin Yang is as low-key as ever:

"20+ assists, it's not that my teammates are stronger, yes, I don't think it's a good thing to have a lot of assists for point guards, in my perception, the point guard's average assists per game is the best at 6-12, too many assists, it only shows that this team has not yet integrated and cannot play a smooth offense."

Qin Yang expressed his attitude.

But a lot of media took this black Paul again after the game.

The TNT expert played this quote on the TV show and found two point guards in the league who have been very high in assists:

"Bruce's words are a little puzzling, and I think Rondo and Paul will have different opinions."

In the league's assist statistics in recent years, Paul and Rondo have always had the most, with many assists of 15+ and 20+ in a season.

According to this statement, the team that the two are on is not tacit enough to cooperate well and do not play a smooth attack.

In an interview, Rajónlondo expressed his dissatisfaction:

"He's been out of the NBA for so long that he doesn't know how to play, so isn't it a good thing to be a point guard and take advantage of opportunities and get more assists? He should not have gotten the assist king last year, so I'm worried about it! ”

Last year's assist leader was Rajon Rondo.

This season, Rondo officially became the boss of the Celtics.

The mentality is inflated!

But others don't think so.

In an interview with the media, Pat Riley simply expressed his opinion:

"Bruce is not wrong, the future trend of the NBA is five all-round swing men, similar to James, or Bruce Qin, if that's the case, everyone will not have more than 10 assists."

Al Jefferson was doing well and wanted to be interviewed by the media after the game and ready to brag.

But......

As soon as Qin Yang opened his mouth, the next day was Qin Yang's news, and Al Jefferson was like a little budding newcomer, only getting a little attention.

During the team training the next day, Al Jefferson looked resentful:

"Bruce, I hate you, the media went to interview you, and no one paid attention to me at all."

"No, Al, trust me, you will find that you can make more money playing with me, didn't you notice that there are a lot of Chinese ads at Dallas' home stadium?"

"Huh?"

Al Jefferson noticed it too, but didn't think much of it.

Qin Yang put his arm around Al Jefferson and was very relaxed:

"I'm here, Al, and there will be countless Chinese media attention, do you know how many Chinese watched that game last night? 100 million people, at least 100 million people, if it's in the playoffs, that number could be 400 million, 500 million. ”

"Wow!"

Al Jefferson was a little silly.

"So, as long as you play well, there will be a lot of advertisers coming to you, customized sneakers, countless ads, will you still feel wronged?"

Al Jefferson was moved.
