Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Mavericks Wait for the End of the Season The strong training wants to be dominant
After easily defeating the Cavaliers, Liu Han can be regarded as abusing the more outstanding overall among the 03-level rookies, and his nickname of "03-level rookie big devil" is also worthy of the name, and the new stars who appeared or rose after Liu Han left the NBA were also conquered by Liu Han's strength, so to speak, his current position as the first person in the league has been recognized by most players.

Time flies quickly, in the blink of an eye, the NBA regular season of the 03-04 season is about to enter the final closing stage, there is not much time left in February, after the "March Madness", the entire NBA will enter the final showdown, who will be the leader, everything is still unknown, but now almost everyone knows that the Mavericks will play the best regular season results in the entire NBA since the 97-98 season.
With the win over the Cavaliers, the Mavericks have their 46th win of the season, a result that would have secured them a top-eight spot in the West even if they lose the rest of their games, and no one would believe that the Mavericks would only win their current tally.
After the trip to Cleveland, Liu Han returned to Dallas with the team, Anna has now begun to show her pregnancy, and her originally thin body is now gradually becoming richer, which makes Anna, who originally had some fairy on her face, look more motherly.
Liu Han has to stick it on Anna's stomach every night to listen, even if there is no movement now, but Liu Han himself feels very relieved, and Anna can feel this man's love for her when she touches Liu Han's somewhat prickly hair.
After returning to Dallas, the Mavericks have three games left in February, all three of which are at home, and the schedule is relatively relaxed, which gives the Mavericks a good chance to recuperate, and the players are well adjusted.
On Feb. 24, the Mavericks host the Clippers.
The current results of the Clippers are very embarrassing, and it is a pity that the team has a 24-win record if it is bad, and the team is not strong enough to fight for it, but they have been shrouded in the glory of the Lakers, so they can directly put it in the present regardless of the disgrace, looking forward to the draft next year, this decision is actually from the team owner Sterling, the somewhat racist owner actually doesn't care much about the team, but this time he personally made the decision to fight for next year's top pick.
Since it is going to be completely rotten, the Clippers don't care too much about the problem of face, and in the face of the league's No. 1 Mavericks, they don't need to think too much, the players of the entire team are running for data, whoever gets the ball will play twice, and the head coach Dunleavy on the sidelines also acted as a clay statue, with only eyes and ears, and barely opened his mouth.
In the first quarter of the game, the Mavericks scored 36-18, and the entire Clippers team was like a piece of sand.
After the Mavericks decided to win the game in the third quarter, they came off the bench in the fourth quarter, and Liu Han scored 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists like a laser marker, and he only played 24 minutes in the whole game.
In the end, the Mavericks beat the Clippers by 31 points 120-89.
Entering the second half of the regular season, some games are actually not so pretty.
Two days later, the Mavericks were challenged by the Spurs at home.
The Spurs have now basically completed the team adjustment, but Popovich still uses his own special substitution method, and he controls almost every player on the team to play no more than 30 minutes, which has to be admired for his memory or the excellence of his assistant team.
In fact, this is Popovich's helpless move, although the team has won a championship in his hands, and has maintained the true character of a strong team in recent years, but to be honest, the Spurs are not attractive enough for some individual players, the team's style and San Antonio's not colorful life has made the Spurs unable to attract enough good young players, so Popovich can only develop the potential of each player as much as possible to ensure the health of the main players when they enter the playoffs.
However, Popovich has recently developed a strong interest in the Mavericks' medical team, and he has found that the Mavericks have their own special medical system, which allows the Mavericks to maintain such a high starting attendance rate in such a fierce game, which is something he is eager to understand and learn.
In the first quarter of the game, the two teams still played back and forth, and the Spurs have maintained their rigorous style, and even the Spurs once exceeded the score in the second quarter, but before halftime, the Mavericks played a wave of 20-6 attack climax to pull the score away.
In the third quarter, the Spurs also tried to change their style to speed up the pace of the offense, but this was as the Mavericks wanted, although the Spurs scored a rare 36 points in the third quarter, but their performance was not so impressive in comparison to the 46 points in the first quarter of the Mavericks.
In the end, the Mavericks beat the Spurs 115-91 at home, and Liu Han scored 34 minutes on 11-of-14 shooting and 34 points, including 6-of-7 three-pointers.
After a light win over the Spurs, the Mavericks take on the Trail Blazers on Feb. 28.
The Trail Blazers got the '96 No. 1 pick Sherif during the trade period in the All-Star break? Raheem, an excellent power forward who used to average 20 plus 9 per game, is now plagued by injuries, and he was abandoned by the Hawks in the middle of the season, the Trail Blazers originally wanted to pick up the cheap, but they didn't expect to suffer a big loss, you must know that Raheem's annual salary is more than 12 million US dollars, and because of this transaction, they also lost Rashid? Wallace.
Missing Rashid? Wallace attracts defense in the high post, Zach? Randolph can't calmly brush the data in the low position, although the "old flying squirrel" Damon? Stoudemire struggled to organize the team's offense, but the Trail Blazers couldn't resist the Mavericks' overall strength.
The Mavericks once again played a 40+ performance in a single quarter in the second quarter of the game, winning the Trail Blazers by 20 points at halftime.
Although the Mavericks slacked off in the second half, the Trail Blazers still couldn't shake the Mavericks' lead.
In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Trail Blazers 111-91 at home, and their win also reached 49 wins.
Liu Han scored only 18 points in this game, but he dished out a season-high 21 assists and 16 rebounds, which has not been seen in many years, and the Mavericks also scored six players in double figures and three scored 20 points in this game.
In contrast, the Trail Blazers' team-tall is only Zach? Randolph's 18 points.
Since then, the Mavericks' February games have all come to an end, and they are on their way to their best regular season finish in league history.
