Although the Los Angeles All-Star Game is not the most exciting All-Star Game, it is the highest rated one in the world, which makes the league naturally very happy, as the domestic viewership in the United States tends to be saturated, if you want the league to further develop, you must target emerging countries and emerging regions, fortunately, Liu Han's return allows the league to find the "key" to open the door.

After the All-Star Game, various teams began to enter the final stage of the regular season, some teams with no hope of the playoffs began to take the initiative to swing, and some teams on the edge of the playoffs began to work hard, as long as they entered the playoffs, anything could happen, and the "Black Eight" miracle was not unseen in the NBA.

The teams at the top of the league began to make final adjustments and run-ins to their rosters, and the intensity of the game was much higher than the games before the All-Star break, and of course, the gold content of some games has also decreased.

The Mavericks basically had a roster in place before the All-Star break, and now it's up to Nelson to keep the team as healthy as possible while keeping the main players healthy.

In fact, the players' bodies have entered the critical point of fatigue for more than half a season, and the time after that is actually the most injury-prone stage for players.

Fortunately, the Chinese medicine medical system introduced by the Mavericks after Liu Han joined has helped the team a lot. With the assistance of modern testing instruments and the overall medical concept of the human body of traditional Chinese medicine, the Mavericks have made a special management software for each player, which is actually developed by the boss Cuban himself, players can understand their physical condition in real time as long as they install the software in their own computers, such as what kind of nutrition should be consumed, what kind of diet will help the body to recover, etc., this software has been praised by all players and coaches after the Mavericks have been promoted. Even the old Nelson even used this software himself, the old man's physical condition is not very good, his lungs are often infected, and he wants to stay in the NBA for a few more years.

After the All-Star Game, Nelson began to deliberately control the playing time of the main players in the team, the team is currently at the top of the league, as many as 7 wins higher than the second-placed Lakers, and Nelson does not plan to hit any regular season record this season, everything is for the team to go further in the playoffs and even win the championship, then this will be the first championship in the team's history, and the owner Cuban also chose to support Nelson's decision.

On Feb. 17, the Mavericks' first game after the All-Star break was on the road, and Liu Han and Nowitzki were scheduled to rest as players who participated in the All-Star Game, and they returned to Dallas from Los Angeles to rest, while the coach led the team to Memphis.

The Mavericks, who are missing Liu Han and Nowitzki, are not without a hard fight against the Grizzlies who are in the top eight in the West this year, but after the All-Star break, the Mavericks players seem to be a little too relaxed, Odom and Josh Howard, who started this game, are not in shape, and Xue Yuyang was replaced by Paul? Gasol was completely restrained, Jamison was alone, and the team was rigidly restrained by the Grizzlies' defense from the start, failing to play the offensive climax it deserved.

On the Grizzlies side, although no one has been selected as an All-Star this year, the team's system has been basically established. Gasol has gradually developed a balanced offensive and defensive style for the core Grizzlies, and the team's interior is not particularly tough but has a technical base. Gasol is indeed one of the better types of international players, with good inside footwork and good mid-range shooting, and players from Europe also have their own set of skills in passing, and he can be the cornerstone of the team.

The rest of the Grizzlies players also played well today, and the Mavericks were inaccurate from the outside, but the Grizzlies felt good today, hitting nine three-pointers from the three-point line, and the shooting percentage was as high as 50%.

In the end, the Grizzlies scored double-doubles with six players, beating the Mavericks by 17 points at 109-92.

After losing their first road game after losing the All-Star break, the Mavericks returned to Dallas overnight to draw with the remaining Liu Han and Nowitzki, and the next game was when the Mavericks hosted the Rockets. (Originally, the Mavericks' schedule in 2004 was back-to-back games against the Cavaliers, but for the sake of plot, they deliberately brought forward the game against the Rockets.) )

After returning to Dallas, Liu Han was able to return to the team after a day's rest, but Nowitzki had to rest for two more days based on his physical condition.

The Rockets also had Francis and Yao Min in this year's All-Star Game, but they didn't rotate and need to step up after the All-Star break in order to get a better spot away from the Mavericks, Lakers and Kings.

They played a home game on Feb. 17 and they beat the Wizards 107-81.

On February 18, the Rockets have to play another away game against the Mavericks, and such a dense schedule will be a huge test for Yao Min, and his physical strength will be very problematic.

When it came to the official game, the Mavericks really seized the weakness of Yao Min's slow movement speed and the overall slow speed of the Rockets to frequently hit the Rockets' chasing counterattack balls, Jeff? Van Gundy should have replaced Yao Min to rest if he had been wiser at this time, but Van Gundy, who was accustomed to using "Ewing", ignored Yao Min's speed too slow and physical exhaustion at this time, which still allowed him to play and stick to the game.

After Liu Han returned to the team, he led the team to play an efficient offense, and his passing will always make his teammates change their serves, and today was no exception, in the first quarter the Mavericks scored a high score of 43 points, which exceeded the Rockets by 20 points, which made Yao Min and the Rockets players very depressed, because they wanted to keep up with the speed of the Mavericks, but the head coach immediately replaced the players who accelerated the speed.

After that, the whole game was under the control of the Mavericks, compared to the last game in which they only hit 4 three-pointers, today's Mavericks hit 16 three-pointers, and the rain-like three-pointers directly extinguished the small fire that the Rockets had just ignited.

Liu Han clocked out after completing the triple-double data in the third quarter, and the Mavericks could boldly practice again in the fourth quarter.
