Chapter 757: 76 wins in the season
Let yourself play inside?
If it was two years ago, Durant would have rejected it outright. But after being with the Mavericks for so long and playing so many games, Durant's mentality has relaxed.
"It's just a temporary helpless option, you go to the inside, you don't ask you to fight hard with the opponent's inside, on the offensive end, you're still on the outside."
Coach Carlisle was very candid.
This is originally a relatively special tactic, the offense is done to the extreme, and the defensive end, you can't ask too much.
Qin Yang also called Durant to explain the situation, and Durant finally agreed.
On the 7th, the Mavericks played the Lakers away.
The Lakers are still a fish belly, and the rookies they choose are not very good, Ingram looks good, but it gives the impression that he lacks superstar demeanor, but he is not as good as Randle, and what is even more embarrassing is that Thomas Jr., who came to the Lakers, performed mediocre and suppressed the development of rookies.
This is the real stealing of chickens and rice.
Of course, the most important thing in this game is the result, but the Mavericks' starters stunned countless people, Qin Yang, Durant, PJ Tucker, James Ennis and Brogdon start.
That's right, there is no inside line.
Or that Kevin Durant is the only interior player.
This starter, very tough.
From the first second of the game, the Mavericks went on offense. The biggest advantage of the Death Five small tactics is offense, and the Mavericks have taken this advantage to another extreme.
The starting five, all of whom were able to shoot three-pointers.
Not only that, but the mid-range shots of the five are all very strong.
Brogdon took cover, Tucker and James Ennis were on the two three-point lines, and the defensive lineup was pulled apart at once.
Brogdon to the left, Kevin Durant cuts in the air.
Qin Yang passed the ball after an easy breakthrough, and Durant dunked and scored.
Turning around, Qin Yang had an assist for Tucker to hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner.
The Mavericks played a powerful offense, and the tactics ended at halftime, with a 23-point deficit and went into garbage time.
The first tactical experiment, it was a success.
Of course, the Lakers themselves are a belly of fish and are of little use.
On the 10th, he faced the Nets at home.
The five small deaths reappeared, the Mavericks also swept by, and this season's Nets team was miserable, and the biggest starting fame and strength was Jeremy Lin.
Brook Lopez is out with an injury, and the Nets are all on the sidelines.
It's amazing.
The Nets, who wanted to win the championship a few years ago, paid a huge luxury tax and worked hard to compete for next year's No. 1 pick.
The world is so magical.
The five small deaths made continuous efforts, and the Mavericks ushered in a wave of consecutive wins.
McGee played 20 minutes off the bench and performed very well, although the offensive stage was almost always dunks, but on the defensive end, McGee performed very well, and his rim protection and help defense ability were above the level.
The Mavericks have defeated the Suns, Raptors, Wizards, 76ers and other teams have played very well.
It wasn't until the 23rd that the Mavericks lost to the Clippers on the road.
The Clippers are not strong inside, but in the face of the Mavericks who lack the inside, the Clippers broke out, Griffin 24 points and 13 rebounds, DeAndre Jordan 18 points, 15 rebounds and 4 blocks, the two completely dominated the interior, Nurkic worked hard, but it was of little use.
Gobert has had a big impact on the Mavericks.
It wasn't until March 27, when the Mavericks hosted the Thunder, that Gobert played again.
When Gobert came in, the tactics changed again.
Durant returned to the small forward position, Qin Yang and Durant easily broke the outside of the Thunder, Nurkic and Gobert suppressed slightly, and the Mavericks won.
Gobert played two quarters, and McGee also played well off the bench.
The Mavericks won easily.
Westbrook, who had spoken out before the game, was easily suppressed.
As it turned out, the last game was just an accident.
At the end of this game, the game went on 74 games, the Mavericks lost only 5 games, and the next 8 games, the Mavericks were destined to break the record, and everyone was waiting for this moment.
On March 31, the Mavericks played the Grizzlies on the road.
Everyone expected the well-rostered Mavericks to emerge victorious, especially with Marc Gasol out injured, but the Mavericks suffered a heavy defeat on the road.
That's just the way it is.
Marc Gasol is strong, but his absence is a good thing in a sense, because the Grizzlies will be better defensively on the inside.
In this game, Mike Conley, Vince Carter, and Daniels all broke out.
In addition to Brandon White's good Tony Allen, the Mavericks lost on the road.
Lost six games.
Fortunately, after losing this game, the Mavericks adjusted their state, and then won three consecutive away games, the Bucks, the Clippers, and the Kings.
Immediately after, the Mavericks defeated the Spurs at home, the Suns on the road, the Nuggets at home, and the 76ers on the road.
This is the end of the regular season of the season.
The Mavericks are 76-6, an NBA record.
This is an unprecedented record, and it is likely to be unprecedented, as it is almost impossible for other teams to sit down to the same thing.
First of all, the team has to have at least three or four role players who are playing really well, but the contracts are not big. There has to be a player like Gobert who became an interior gate in his rookie years, and at the same time, the league's salary is on the rise, and the two superstars are all-round offensive and defensive, and the contract is not too big.
This kind of thing is almost impossible.
A combination of various reasons has formed the historical record of the Mavericks this season, and when Qin Yang and Gobert renew their contracts next year, the salaries of the two will rise sharply, and the role players will not be able to tolerate it, let alone keep the current lineup. When the time comes, the Mavericks' roster is bound to drop somewhat.
The regular season is over, although the honors have not yet come out.
But the major media outlets have started to hype up all sorts of incredible stats and results this season.
TNT News:
"This season has been one of the most incredible in the league, with the Dallas Mavericks boasting an unprecedented 76 wins, including a staggering winning streak, one of the most dominant teams in NBA history. The last team to be so recognized was Russell's Celtics. ”
The Celts in antiquity, The Lord of the Rings, Russell, played helplessly across the league.
But that time was too far away and lacked reference value.
The Mavericks are the only ones now.
Los Angeles News:
"The second-in-one in history, another triple-double per game after Robertson, the most incredible player in the league, Russell Westbrook."
Westbrook got an average triple-double of 25+10+10 per game, which looks very dazzling.
However...... Many people expressed disdain.
When Qin Yang was interviewed, he directly expressed his dissatisfaction.
