Chapter 652: Duncan is old, it's time
Won the Spurs without pressure, Qin Yang and Duncan embraced.
Duncan is old and is not far from retiring for this game, Duncan played 21 minutes, and Popovich did not let Duncan play for long.
After all, when you are old, you can't afford to fight.
After Duncan and Qin Yang embraced, they looked a little lonely.
The Spurs have run out of energy this season.
It's a necessity.
The departure of Tony Parker is not as simple as the departure of a player, it is the departure of a generation of memories, the departure of team culture, and the departure of the team's centripetal force.
The collapse of the GDP mix has had a far greater impact than imagined.
Duncan is still as steady as a dog, and Ginobili is still dashing.
But...... The spirit is gone, and the strength of the team has dissipated.
It's something hard to put into words.
The soul is gone, how can you still play.
It's something hard to put into words, and the Spurs spent decades building a lineup centered on the GDP portfolio, but as the roster broke, it also dissipated.
When Qin Yang saw this scene, he was a little speechless for a while.
The Mavericks need to keep up the work.
On the 27th, the Mavericks played the Pacers away.
The Pacers have a tragic year, Paul George is out for the season, and the Pacers have a poor record this year, and they may not even be able to make the playoffs.
This game will be easier to play.
But when it comes to the game, it's not necessarily.
CJ Myers played super in this game, shooting 9 of 12, 5 of 6 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 28 points.
The Pacers played a great game at home.
The Hibberts burst out after a few seasons of salting. The data of 18 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks makes people doubt that he is no longer so beloved Gao Yuanyuan.
Starkey, David West, and Louis Scola all played very well, even if Qin Yang scored 32 points with a shooting rate of more than 50%, the Mavericks were still unable to lose.
Sometimes it's just that weird.
No. 31, still a familiar recipe, still the same taste.
The Mavericks hosted Westbrook, and Wei Shao broke out strongly again, scoring 31 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.
Adams only had two rebounds, crying and chirping!
Under the leadership of Wei Shao, the Mavericks fought fiercely for four quarters and finally lost the game 121-139.
That's perfectly fine.
Wei Shao is like a tiger descending the mountain, and he can't stop it at all.
Qin Yang has seen other people hack Harden, but to be honest, Harden is not bad, although he pays attention to data, but he is more persistent and offensive, but there is nothing wrong with other aspects.
Kewei grabbed less rebounds from teammates and didn't defend, which was too pitiful.
In the whole game, Wei Shao was 10 of 33, 2 of 11 three-pointers, and 9 of 11 free throws.
The main reasons why the Thunder were able to hold out until the final quarter was ...... The Thunder bench erupted.
Former Warriors player Anthony Morrow was in the game, feeling hot in his hand.
Shooting 11-of-16 from the field and 4-of-6 from three-point range, the efficiency is terrifying.
Otherwise, for half a long time, the Thunder team can sing coolly.
At the end of the game, Qin Yang didn't mention Westbrook, so he really couldn't say anything. I can only praise Adams.
"Steven is a very good interior lineman, and I talked to Kevin about him, and Steven is probably the easiest interior player to work with in the league."
Qin Yang actually doesn't like Adams very much.
Adams played too dirty, and in this game, he pushed Qin Yang, and the two of them were bullish.
But relatively speaking, as an insider, Adams did a good job, tough enough, willing to do the dirty work, and did a very good job.
This kind of interior line is very suitable for the Mavericks' style.
The No. 1 Mavericks played the Rockets on the road.
The Rockets finally got tough, the bulb combination played a rare good game, and Ariza wasn't an iron slag anymore, shooting 6-of-11 from the field to death.
Jason Terry had 28 points, Josh Smith had 18 points and 11 rebounds, and the two abstentions would be key factors in beating the Mavericks.
Knowing that it was not easy to play, the Mavericks took the initiative to admit defeat in the fourth quarter.
There's no point in playing any longer, it's better to put it in the playoffs if you have energy.
After this game, there are only ten games left.
The Mavericks begin to paddle.
On the 4th, he lost to the Warriors away, the splash combination played well, Qin Yang didn't play at all, and he was very good on the farm.
No. 6, home win over the Suns.
The Suns don't know how to rebuild now. Although it did not enter the playoffs, the team's record was not bad, and it was embarrassing to have such a bad record.
No. 8, lost to the Nuggets away.
The Nuggets were in a strong position in the final game of the regular season, and Iguodala, Wilson Chandler, Aflora, and Tylawson were good enough guards.
No. 10, lost at home to the Spurs.
In this game, the Mavericks' shooting percentage was just over 30%, which was outrageously low.
The Spurs didn't play well, Qin Yang didn't feel good, but against Leonard, Leonard doubted life, 4 of 13 in the game, it didn't look like a core should look like it should be, and the Spurs evaluated the tenacious tactical cooperation to win.
The Mavericks lost a little aggrieved.
The tactics came out, but they just couldn't shoot, and there was no way around it.
On the 12th, the Mavericks played the Lakers away.
In this game, Kobe Bryant continued to miss due to injury, and the Lakers' combat value was improved.
Wesley Johnson, Clarkson, Nick Young, and Jeremy Lin all played well and almost turned the game back at home, but fortunately, in the final fourth quarter, a wave of waves opened the score.
The Lakers are really high, and their combat power is still very strong.
On the 13th, away against the Jazz.
Gobert, the best player in the Mavericks, had 20 points, 18 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks in the all-around data, and played dominance on both offensive and defensive ends.
Off the court, the Jazz manager looked at Gobert and couldn't do it.
Gobert's offense is actually average, mainly relying on Qin Yang's secondary offense after feeding the cake and grabbing the rebound, but Gobert's defense has initially reached the league's first-line level.
It won't be long before he becomes another Tyson Chandler.
And most likely a strengthened version.
The league has definitely more than twenty teams in the league against Gobert.
No. 15, home against the Trail Blazers.
This is the finale.
So the Mavericks are playing very seriously.
Qin Yang played against Lillard, once again let the latter experience the fear of being dominated, Qin Yang was 13 of 24, 5 of 12 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, and got 35 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds, on the contrary, Lillard was 5 of 17, got 17 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 6 turnovers.
LaMarcus Aldridge is already a little skeptical, and although this season has made the playoffs, it is clear that the Trail Blazers can't go far.
Next, it's almost time to decide.
