A 34-game winning streak is just the beginning.

The Mavericks are still in full swing. The team's form isn't too bullying, the rotation policy is very well enforced, and the role players are hungry to play.

On January 3, the Mavericks host the Wizards. The Wizards are really strong.

The team's boss, John Wall, has been outstanding. This year on the league point guard rankings. Wall finished in the top three. This is a very good ranking.

In the past few seasons, the league has seen a lot of point guard talent. The era of Chris Paul and Deron Williams is over. Qin Yang, Stephen Curry, John Wall, Kelly Irving, Millard, James Harden, Russell Weisbrook and other point guards are all superstars.

These superstars on point guards have become the hottest players in the league, and they are very strong. about

Hanwall's third place speaks for itself.

John Wall is very strong, and the key is that it is very balanced.

Other point guards, except for Qin Yang, have a big problem defending. While they helped the team a lot on the offensive end, the defensive end also became the team's biggest hole.

For example, James Harden, Stephen Curry, Kelly Irving and others, even Russell Weisbrook, who has a good defensive evaluation, is just a fan impression.

In fact, after falling to the disadvantage in the battle with Qin Yang, Wall has improved a lot. Over the past two seasons, Wall's off-ball has gotten better and better, and he's been as consistent on the defensive end as ever.

John Wall's height is 1.93 meters. Taller than any other point guard, with strength and speed, he ultimately dominates the league, even misplaced defensive point guards and small forwards.

Among the point guards in the NBA, John Wall is the only one who dares to play against Qin Yang.

The other point guards didn't dare to do this at all, because they would be beaten out by Qin Yang.

The Wizards are not weak, and in addition to Wall, there are people like Bradley and Gortat. Gortat has once again proved a truth.

Bruce's former teammates, although their performance will drop after leaving, will not be bad.

This meme has also become one of the unsolved mysteries of the Alliance.

Like the former Rockets players, it's puzzling.

Of course, the focus of this game is not the duel between Qin Yang and John Wall, nor is it about winning the game easily, but Kevin Durant stepped on Gortat's foot and sprained his ankle in the second quarter when he jumped up to shoot.

The post-game press conference said that Durant was absent.

Until the next day, the Mavericks officially announced that Kevin Durant would miss at least the next two weeks with a sprained ankle.

This is unfortunate news.

LA News: "Durant's injury is a big surprise, but it's an opportunity for the rest of the NBA, and it's going to be hard for the Mavericks to break their 72-win record. ”

New York News:

"Kevin Durant sprained his ankle after breaking a 33-game winning streak, and the Mavericks could be on a losing streak if they miss at least two weeks of games."

TNT News:

"How important is Kevin Durant? This season, Durant averaged 20.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, shooting more than 50% from the field, which is the second highest efficiency value in the league. ”

Fox News:

"During Kevin Durant's injury, it was up to Bruce to lead the team's offense alone."

Although the Mavericks won 35 in a row, they were next absent because of Durant. The rest of the game is going to be incredibly difficult.

The NBA is not a one-man sport. 35 games before. The team's victory, Durant contributed a lot. Qin Yang and Durant are very efficient, which is the fundamental reason for the victory.

In this case, on January 5, the Mavericks host the Suns.

The Suns have been weak all these years, but last year's draft selected rookie Devin Booker, and Devin Booker performed surprisingly well, scoring a variety of 20,30+ points in his rookie season.

The Suns seem to have a tendency to develop Devin Booker as a core.

In this game, Devin Booker scored 31 points. However...... What can you do if you get 70 points in garbage time?

Halftime went into garbage time, and the Suns' selection was in question.

Over the years, the Suns have become somewhat obsessed with shelling, and it seems that they will not play any tactics except shelling. Even if the blood cloth and boxing champion are there, they still play fast attack, which hurts a lot.

After a comfortable win over the Suns, the Mavericks' schedule wasn't great.

On January 7, the Mavericks played the Hawks away.

The Hawks have strengthened this season, and although Al Horford has left, he has added former MVP Howard, and the strength has not dropped too much.

It's just that the Hawks are obviously not that compatible with Howard.

The Hawks played the Princeton tactic, which requires good shooting ability on the inside, but Howard's shooting ability is basically zero.

Fortunately, the Hawks' current players are not bad at shooting, so the tactics are barely playing.

But the Eagles give the impression that they are not strong against weak teams, and they are not weak against strong teams.

As soon as the game began, the Eagles took the lead at home.

Schroeder performed well, felt hot in the hand, and scored consecutive points.

Seth Curry, who started the game, became a weakness, and the singles were targeted by Schroder.

Kevin Durant is injured, the team's offense is affected, and at this time, it is inevitable that Seth Curry will strengthen the offense.

But Seth Curry did well off the bench, but when he started, he didn't do well.

The offense didn't come out, there was no Schroeder's defensive succession, and the defensive end was very poor, and Schroder singled and scored continuously.

In the opening six minutes, the Mavericks called a timeout.

After the pause, Carlisle hesitated and looked at Qin Yang. Qin Yang shook his head, Coach Carlisle did not make any substitutions.

The substitution at this time is a huge blow to Seth Curry.

"Next, Bruce increased his offense with the ball and paid attention to his blocking and dismantling tactics." Coach Carlisle didn't say anything else, emphasizing tactics.

The game is back.

Qin Yang took the ball, and it was Seforrosa who defended Qin Yang.

In recent years, Qin Yang, as one of the best offensive guards in the league, defending Qin Yang is also a topic that needs to be studied by teams in the league.

Among the defensive players who played opposite Qin Yang, the best performance was Kawaii Leonard, followed by Seforrosa and others.

Of course, defending Qin Yang is not something that can be solved by a simple player.

Like most superstars in defense, the team must formulate special tactics in order to defend Qin Yang, with special personnel on the outside to mark the defense, change the defense at any time, and someone on the inside to protect the frame and supplement the defense.

Relatively speaking, Howard and Sefrosa are the more successful players in defending Qin Yang.

Seforosa is more than two meters tall, a little lower than Qin Yang, and his strength and speed are about the same as Qin Yang's, and there is almost no disadvantage.

In this case, it is more appropriate to defend Qin Yang.

This kind of defensive player defends Qin Yang, then his teammates will definitely be able to misplace and single Schroder, which is a good opportunity, after all, the point guard who is 185CM opposite the other positions is misplaced, and it is easy to score.

It's a pity it's Seth Curry.

Therefore, Qin Yang can only play singles.

Singles is not an efficient way to attack.

But Qin Yang is not false.

On the first ball, Nurkic made a cover, and Qin Yang easily pulled the ball and shot directly.

Sou!

Three-point shot.

Yes, that's delicious.
