On November 25, the Warriors vs Mavericks, the arena was full that night, and the home fans hoped that the Mavericks could end the Warriors' winning streak.

The home team's lineup is not optimistic, the Mavericks have two forwards, Josh? Howard and Sean? Marion is on the injury list and won't play this time.

The Mavericks were forced to change their lineup, and the starting forward used veteran Quentin? Ross. The shooting guard is Robert, a rookie with the 25th pick in the first round? Bois.

Boibis is characterised by a lot like Brooks, shooting well and being incredibly fast. HE IS ONLY 188CM TALL AND HAS POOR ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS, SO THE TASK OF CONTROLLING THE BALL IS STILL LEFT TO KIDD. On the inside are Nowitzki and Gooden.

The Warriors' starting five are Zhou Xuan, Azubuike, Jackson, Randolph Jr., and Randolph. Margeti was back on the bench and Jackson was a little better at defending Nowitzki on the perimeter.

CCTV5 Zhang Reasonable said: "Hello audience, now the live broadcast for you is the Warriors vs. Mavericks. The Warriors will be fighting for a 13-game winning streak. ”

Yu Jia said: "This year, Zhou Xuan and Yi Jianlian's situation can be described as two extremes, the Warriors have won 12 consecutive victories, but the Nets have lost 13 in a row, and the Nets away game against the Nuggets at the same time may be more auspicious." Coach Zhang, what do you think are the odds of the Warriors winning today? ”

Zhang said: "The Warriors have developed a habit of winning now, and I think there is at least a 70% chance of winning the Mavericks, although the Mavericks have won five in a row, but there are two big players missing today." ”

Yu Jia said: "Speaking of injuries, the Warriors also have one person missing, and that is Brandon? Wright, and he's hurt more than he thinks. He needed surgery on his left shoulder, which could leave him unplayable for up to six months. ”

"Thankfully, it's Wright, even if he's healthy, he doesn't get much playing time, so we'll see if the game is about to start," Zhang said. ”

As soon as he said this, the Warriors' interior line was reimbursed by the unlucky Wright for a serious injury season, which became a blessing.

The referee tossed the ball into the air, and after the scrum, the Warriors attacked first.

As long as it's Anthony? Randolph jumps the ball, he can usually win, he is tall and has long arms, and he runs and jumps like an elk, which is not comparable to Gooden.

Zhou Xuan controlled the ball, and the man who defended him, Boibie. Zhou Xuan found Randolph Jr. to cooperate with the blocking, and after the blocking, he broke through from the right side and faced Nowitzki. On the right side was the weak side, with Azubuk, Jackson and Randolph on the left, and he got a heads-up opportunity as soon as he blocked and dismantled, while Randolph Jr. cut inside into the air.

Nowitzki hurriedly returned to the inside line to defend Randolph Jr., and at this time, Zhou Xuan took the ball towards Nowitzki, which immediately put him in a dilemma, and Zhou Xuan also distanced himself from Boibov.

When it reached 45 degrees, Zhou Xuan stepped back and jumped, Nowitzki prevented the ball from the side to block, Boibis also jumped up from the side to block, Zhou Xuan leaned back slightly and passed the ball out, slightly deviated from the basket to the middle, Randolph Jr. jumped up under the basket, and easily dunked the basketball with both hands. 2 to 0.

Gooden followed Randolph on the other side, without the slightest intention of making up for it. Gooden is tall, strong, and can grab rebounds, but after being traded by the Cavaliers, he was quickly bought out by the Kings, and he failed to get a contract extension after arriving at the Spurs, just because his defensive awareness was too poor. He can get good stats, but he can help the team on the defensive end with a pitiful amount, much like the Knicks' David Lee. The Mavericks brought him in to fill the void of Buzz's departure and to have one more man who could shoot. There is a scarcity of excellent inside lines in the league, and they can only be the top of the short.

The Mavericks attacked, the Warriors mixed defense, Jackson kept up with Nowitzki on the perimeter, and once he got inside, he was replaced by Randolph Jr. to defend. Kidd controlled the ball and, after a couple of passes, handed it to Nowitzki for a single.

In the starting game of the Mavericks today, Boubovis was unstable and had poor shooting options, Rose was mainly defensive, Gooden was almost empty after blocking and dismantling, and the Mavericks lacked scoring points. Nowitzki faced Jackson's defense and broke through with the ball in the middle, and his pull-up jump shot was missed, and the rebound was won by Fat Randolph.

The overall speed of the Mavericks is not fast now, but Zhou Xuan is not in a hurry to launch a fast attack, falls into a positional battle, and blocks and dismantles with Randolph, allowing Randolph Jr. to stay in the low position to attract defense.

The person who changed the defense this time was still Nowitzki, Zhou Xuan broke through the weak side and opened the distance, Randolph did not cut to the inside line, but stood in the middle. Boubois showed his lack of defensive experience and went to chase Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan immediately returned the ball to the middle, Randolph received the ball in the high post and got the vacancy, and the jump shot went in. 4 to 0.

"It's so easy to score. The Mavericks had problems defensively in the opening game. Yu Jia said with a smile.

Zhang said: "And the Mavericks' offense is not very good, they let Boubo start in order to ensure the scoring ability of the bench lineup, but the ability of this young player is limited." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Boibis received a pass and forced a breakthrough, a one-step stop-and-go jump shot, which was deflected under the interference of Zhou Xuan. The Warriors let Zhou Xuan defend against the fast man, and Azubuke defended Kidd. The rebound was picked up by Randolph Jr. and passed to Zhou Xuan, and the Warriors fell into a positional battle again.

Zhou Xuan took the right side after blocking and dismantling, and nowitzki went head-to-head, dribbling under his crotch continuously, at this time, Azubuke and Randolph Jr. covered the bottom line without the ball, dodging Kidd and running to the bottom corner of the right side.

Gooden hurriedly changed his defense, and as soon as he got out, Zhou Xuan pulled the ball up, took a step towards the bottom line, jumped up and half turned around, and passed the ball from Nowitzki's side to the basket with his right hand. 6 to 0.

It's an attack that can play five good goals. In the opening game, the Warriors took advantage of the weakness of the Mavericks' interior defense to keep scoring, and Zhou Xuan sent three assists.

The Mavericks finally started the next round, Nowitzki received the ball and broke through to attract the bag to the perimeter, and Boubovis made a jumper to score. 6 to 2.

Next, the Warriors' offense also played well, everyone did their part, and the division of labor was clear.

Azubuke moved in the bottom corner on either side, Jackson drew the defense on the side, and Zhou Xuan played in the middle and two Randolphs played the pick-and-roll. This trick is very difficult for the calf to break. Rose's defensive ability is not as good as before, and the "defensive expert" is just an impression in people's minds, otherwise the Grizzlies would not give up on him easily. Boibis was too thin to defend against Randolph after being misplaced. Nowitzki's defense is quite tight, but Zhou Xuan is mainly passing, which makes him feel like he has nowhere to go.

In the first quarter, the Warriors led by 12 points, 36-24. Kidd, Rose, and Boubova were weak in attack, and it was only after the replacement of Terry that they improved a little.

In the second quarter, the Warriors sent Ellis, Green, Margetty, Blair, and Turiaf.

The Mavericks also made substitutions, with Terry on the periphery, Barria leading, and James at small forward? Singleton, Humphries on the inside partner Mitch? Moles.

Moore played preseason games for the Warriors and couldn't stay, after signing a veteran contract with the Mavericks.

The Warriors continued to maintain their advantage, Turyaf played very well, covering Humphries with a big hat, and the Mavericks could not defend well, so they could only rely on offense to bite the score.

Six minutes later, Smart did not rush to replace Turiav and let him continue to play, and cooperate with Blair on the inside. It's just that Zhou Xuan and Ellis are replaced to form a double guard, and the Mavericks' interior strength is average, so that the main force can withstand it when they rest.

The Warriors led by 15 points at halftime, 67-52.

The home team fell behind by a large score, which disappointed the owner Cuban on the sidelines, and as soon as the Warriors player broke through and caused a foul, he had to stand up and jump twice, and he thought he was the head coach for some reason.

In the second half, Coach Carlisle had to fight, let his teammates follow the defense more strictly, compress the defense, and fight back as soon as possible after the defense.

The Warriors also have a two-guard lineback, with Jackson at small forward. Players who are involved in a trade tend to get more minutes to prepare for a trade.

The Warriors always stay ahead. Zhou Xuan moved on the weak side, and once the Mavericks guarded him tightly, he passed to Jackson and hung to Randolph to play Gooden or Moore, which was very efficient. Neither of these veterans can guard against Randolph.

The fat man's starting stats have dropped from last season, and he has recently begun to find his form and become a "two-pair machine" again. He scored 14 points in the first quarter and 22 points and nine rebounds in the third quarter.

Nowitzki always had a hard time playing against Randolph, and this one was no exception, with a drop in shooting percentage and a lag in stats, although most of the time it wasn't Randolph on defense, but as long as Nowitzki was dumb, the Mavericks couldn't win.

Zhang said: "The Warriors are unknowingly approaching the best start in NBA history. The Washington Capitals in 1948-1949 and the Houston Rockets in 1993-1994 went 15-0. ”

Yu Jia said: "If they want to get the best start, they still have to pass the Spurs, and the next game will be back-to-back away after all, which will be difficult." During this time, the Warriors are all devils. ”

The Mavericks played 7 minutes in the fourth quarter and trailed by 20 points and gave up the game. Despite being replaced on the bench, Mavericks fans did not leave the game early, cheering for the players to the bottom of the game. The Mavericks' basketball environment is fantastic. Probably for this reason, the Mavericks benches played hard and recovered some points. 116-103, the Mavericks lost by 13 points.

The Warriors are on a 13-game winning streak, their best start to the NBA. Zhou Xuan had 15 points, 2 rebounds and 14 assists. Ellis had an eye-catching performance, with 30 points and six rebounds. Randolph also had 26 points and 11 rebounds.

With 28 points and 10 rebounds, Nowitzki is still the most consistent player in the Mavericks. However, he has not won the championship for many years, and people have a lower and lower opinion of him. Kidd shot 1-of-4 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with five points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists. As the current three-point king, the data that hinders him from getting a triple-double is actually scoring.

After the game, Kidd hugged Zhou Xuan and said: "Let you be arrogant once, our lineup is not complete, and the end will not be so easy." ”

"Let's do it together. If the Warriors fail to defend their title this season, I hope the Mavericks win the championship. Zhou Xuan smiled.

These words were not only polite, but also out of admiration for Kidd, who continued to play as a starter at the age of nearly forty, and his chances were running out. A team like the Mavericks who rely on veterans to win the championship is something people like to see. Zhou Xuan hopes that Kidd can get a ring before he retires. It's impossible to team up, they're both point guards.

Kidd laughed, "It's the best loss consolation I've ever heard." ”
