Chapter 90 The Mavericks Wait for the End of the Season The strong training soldiers want to dominate

As has been the case for many years, the NBA's ratings have dropped significantly since March, and the average American's love for college basketball comes from their own experiences compared to the more utilitarian NBA games, and the "territorial rivalry" often makes ordinary people more impulsive. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The NCAA will be a brutal round of 64 after entering March, and a single knockout game makes every college team pay great attention to it, after all, there is no "replay" here, although young people do not fail, but young people often do not accept defeat.

In March Madness, some NBA games will make way for NCAA games, which is considered a benefit for the NBA to its own reserve base, after all, the best in the NCAA can join the NBA league to show their talents.

Liu Han's alma mater, UCLA, has had a poor record in recent years. After Krent's departure, UCLA originally planned to invite Li Rui to be their first Asian coach, but unfortunately it ended up due to the opposition and discrimination of some people, and Li Rui later returned to China as an assistant coach of the national team, and since then, UCLA has never regained its glory.

UCLA stumbled into the final tournament this year, but they are clearly not favored, and this year's favorites are still Duke, North Carolina and some other traditional giants, as well as Ray Allen's alma mater, the University of Connecticut, who has the best interior player in the NCAA right now, Okafor.

The NBA games were tepid throughout March, and the Mavericks were not worried about their playoff spots, and even the first place in the league was secure, so their games were more of a rotation following Nielsen's arrangement, which affected their results to a certain extent, but now no one cares about the Mavericks' results, and now many people know that with Liu Han, any team will be a powerhouse in the playoffs.

The Mavericks have a tougher schedule in early March, with five games over 10 days, two back-to-back on the road, and they will face the Timberwolves, Spurs and Kings in each of those five games.

On March 2, the Mavericks beat the SuperSonics 109-91 at home. Lewis's outside combination obviously didn't spell Liu Han and Nowitzki's inside and outside combination, Liu Han and Nowitzki combined to score 69 points, and the Supersonic Speed is now completely out of the outside defense of the Payton era, and in the face of the Mavericks' running and bombing, they were beaten by the Mavericks with rhythm throughout the game.

Liu Han once again gave a triple-double performance in this game, and this season his points, rebounds and assists are among the top of the league's major lists, and his scoring is at the top of the list with an average of 29.7 points per game.

After the game against the SuperSonics, the Mavericks traveled to Minnesota overnight, where they had to play back-to-back games against the Timberwolves.

In order to avoid being swept by the season, the Timberwolves played an extremely efficient performance in this home game, and Garnett completely broke Nowitzki on offense, and defensively made Nowitzki depressed to the point of vomiting blood.

However, even though all six members of the Timberwolves scored double-doubles and three scored 20 points, they still couldn't stop Liu Han's scoring.

In the case of the whole team being passive, Liu Han turned on the scoring mode, and he set a new personal single-game scoring record for players this season, scoring 69 points in the top 10 in the entire league history, and the 14 three-pointers in the game also tied the record for three-pointers he made in a single game during his time with the Lakers.

In the end, relying on Liu Han's super performance, the Mavericks narrowly defeated the Timberwolves by four points 133-129 in this scoring battle.

It was one of the best games in the league since March, with two emerging Western giants facing off against the best of the '95 rookies and the best of the '96 rookies.

A hard-fought matchup also made the Mavericks players feel a lot of fatigue, although Liu Han was the sole leader of the whole game.

A day after the news, the Mavericks were back on the road to the Spurs.

After a hard-fought battle with the Timberwolves in the last game, the Mavericks' players were obviously out of shape in the game against the Spurs, and Liu Han was rotated by Nelson in this game, so the Mavericks were at a disadvantage when facing the Spurs, Duncan was also rotated.

Spurs Tony in this game? Parker finally played his own characteristics, although the outside shooting was still not very accurate, but Parker relied on his speed to mess up the Mavericks' defense, and the Spurs bench still had a "demon" like Ginobili, the Mavericks failed to lead the Spurs in the score throughout the game, and were finally defeated by the Spurs 113-100.

The Mavericks couldn't rest after their 11th loss of the season as they left for Houston overnight, where they will face the Rockets, who are playing at home and desperate for a win to secure their top-eight spot in the West.

Liu Han returned to the starting lineup after a one-game break, but Nowitzki was rested by Nelson for this game, and Bradley returned to the starting lineup.

Considering that the Mavericks players were a little tired from three consecutive away games, Nelson did not arrange for the team to play a bombardment in this game, but played a positional battle with the Rockets one by one, which fulfilled Yao Min.

In this game, Yao Min played a performance that surprised the whole league, his first ten shots, 12 of 15 from the field, 10 of 10 free throws, and a game-high 34 points and 15 rebounds, such an efficient and dominant performance dwarfed Bradley, who scored only 11 points in the game.

However, the Rockets didn't do well except for Yao Min, with Francis scoring just 16 points and eight assists on zero of six three-pointers, and Mobley scoring just 13 points and nine rebounds on 4-of-14 shooting.

On the other hand, on the Mavericks' side, although Liu Han's score was not as high as Yao Min's, he still scored 29 points, in addition to 19 assists and 13 rebounds, the Mavericks scored 6 double-doubles on the team, and three got two double-doubles, and the Mavericks grabbed 11 more rebounds than the Rockets in rebounds alone, including six frontcourt rebounds.

Such a comparison is enough to see the difference between the two teams, and the Mavericks eventually defeated the Rockets 106-99.

After two back-to-back trials on the road, the Mavericks finally returned to Dallas on March 10 with a 123-90 home win over the Suns.

Nash finally started but encountered Liu Han's poor defensive performance, and the Suns' style of play was not very suitable for Nash's play, they needed a coach who could give full play to the player's strengths to coach, and the Suns' rebuilding was imminent.

The day after Liu returned to Dallas, his alma mater was knocked out by the University of Washington in the NCAA tournament, and the team only made it to the round of 32, which was already its best result in recent years.
