"Sell it first, and you'll know in the evening." Nahura said mysteriously.

After speaking, he pointed to Stephenson, who was pacing back and forth at the door, and said, "We'll talk again in the evening, Lance is waiting over there." ”

Tang Shuai hesitated and nodded, there is a two-day break after this game, and the team will not fly back to Los Angeles until the next day, and it doesn't matter if you meet the mysterious person Nahura said.

After the Clippers returned to the hotel, they had dinner in advance, and after a short rest, they got on the bus and went to the stadium.

The Dallas Mavericks, a powerhouse in the NBA West, along with the Houston Rockets and the San Antonio Spurs, are known as the top three in Texas, because the team is run properly and is located in a state like Texas where taxes are low and it is easy to recruit free agents, and it has maintained a strong competitiveness all year round.

Speaking of the Texas top three, at the beginning of the 21st century, when the Spurs had Duncan, the Rockets had Yao Ming, and the Mavericks had Nowitzki.

Now, more than ten years have passed, Yao Ming has retired, and now the Mavericks have undergone tremendous changes, although Nowitzki is still efficient, but after all, he is 37 years old, the team has gradually begun to cultivate a new core Parsons, in order to complete this process, in the offseason also signed former All-Star point guard Deron Williams, plus the new signing Matthews and several other guards, this season still maintains a very high competitiveness.

The head coach of the Mavericks, Carlisle, is also a well-known coach in the league, and he is not inferior to Reaves tactically, and since the preseason this season, he has used a ten-man rotation style similar to that of the Spurs last season, and almost all the players on the court have about 20 minutes of time, and the players on the court can maintain full physical strength at all times.

Thanks to this style of play, the team of eight scored double-doubles and defeated the Phoenix Suns 111-95 on the road.

Although many players were injured, the team's three main players Matthews, Parsenley and DeLong were selectively rested in this game, but as long as Nowitzki still plays, this is definitely not a team that can be easily beaten.

On October 30, U.S. time, the Clippers and Mavericks, who had already played one game in the previous game, both ushered in the second game of their respective back-to-back games.

The American Airlines Center was packed, and although it had been announced before the game that the main players would not play, the enthusiasm of the Dallas fans was obviously not diminished.

Mavericks owner Cuban was there as always, and the avid basketball enthusiast clearly didn't want to miss a game.

After a brief warm-up, the lights dimmed and the Dallas introductory ceremony began.

Although it was a little different from the opening ceremony of the Clippers, when Nowitzki's name was finally pronounced, the boiling sound of the whole arena was even better.

As the soul of the Mavericks, Nowitzki is clearly the most popular city in Dallas.

As the introduction ended, the Mavericks' starting lineup was revealed, with Nowitzki and Georgian interior Zaza Pachulia on the inside, John Jenkins and solid veteran Raymond Filton on the guard, and Jeremy Evans, a bouncing man who started in place of Parsons, on the front.

The Clippers, for their part, are still the same starting five as ever.

Tang Shuai observed the starting lineup off the court, and from the bottom of his heart, except for Nowitzki, who has an exclusive driver's back bag, there are not many purple basketball bags on other players, such a remnant team, from the book point of view, is really unable to compete with the Clippers.

"Toot!"

As the referee blew the whistle, the game between the two sides officially began, and Jordan Jr. turned the ball back to the Clippers' half without any suspense.

Paul plays the offense with the ball.

Tang Shuai kept observing off the court, and after following Paul for so long, he knew that as a point guard, observing the opponent was something that had to be done on the bench.

After playing for a while, Tang Shuai was completely shocked.

The Mavericks, whose personal ability is completely inferior to the Clippers, played more than half a quarter, and only fell behind by one point at 12:13.

And Carlisle did implement his ten-man rotation tactics, and he began to enter the rotation after only half a quarter of the game, constantly consuming the main force of the Clippers with abundant physical strength.

With about 4 minutes left in the first quarter, when the Clippers entered the rotation, although the team had a 5-point lead at 19:14, the team's main players were out of breath, and compared with the relaxed faces of the Mavericks players, it was obvious that they would suffer more.

You must know that this is a back-to-back game between the two sides, and the Mavericks' style of play, by the fourth quarter, is completely still a dozen.

Gradually, the Clippers also replaced the bench, and Tang Shuai also appeared for the first time.

Reeves saw that the main players were out of breath, and replaced four substitutes in one go, except for Jordan Jr. on the inside, everyone else was replaced on the court.

At this time, the lineup on the Clippers' side is Tang Shuai + Reaves Jr. + Stephenson + Smith + Jordan Jr.

On the Clippers' side, Jenkins + Devin Harris + Charlie Villanueva + Dwight Powell + Nowitzki.

Tang Shuai held the ball and pushed forward, he beckoned Smith to come up to block the demolition, and when the ball was dismantled, he gave the ball to Smith who went down.

Smith was about to dunk when he got the ball, but maybe he was too tired last night, and in the face of rookie Powell's defense, the ball came out of his hand the moment he shot.

Reeves on the sidelines hugged his head helplessly, this kind of mistake was obviously extremely fatal.

Looking back, the Mavericks played defensive coordination, Nowitzki held the ball in the low post, feigned singles, and after attracting Smith's bag, an extremely covert pass to Jenkins who cut into the air, Jenkins threw directly to score.

Little Reeves, who was a little stunned, didn't shake his head helplessly until Jenkins scored.

Tang Shuai once again held the ball to organize the offense, this time he reached out and made a "3" tactical gesture, and when Stephenson came out, he handed over the ball as soon as possible, Stephenson dribbled a step inside the three-point line, usually nine out of ten, but this time it jumped out of the basket, the Mavericks went straight down, and Jenkins rushed forward like a Hot Wheels on his legs.

Nowitzki got the ball and threw a long pass across the court, and Jenkins easily scored two points.

Not only that, in the next few rounds, the Clippers' offense was in vain, on the other hand, the Mavericks, who were full of physical strength, repeatedly counterattacked, and in the blink of an eye, they played an 8:0 and overtook the score at once.

Tang Shuai once again held the ball at the top of the arc, he was organized for several rounds in a row, and finally understood one thing, today's brothers are collectively lost, Smith and Stephenson were overconsumed last night, not to mention Little Reeves, he has never risen since he was abused, at this time, no matter how good he is organized, it is useless.
