The Pelicans' opponents averaged a strong opponent in the first week, but the average opponent in the second week was average.

The Kings, 76ers, Timberwolves, and Pelicans all won easily.

Starting with an eight-game winning streak, the Pelicans showed their strength at the level of defending champions.

Tang Tian also enjoyed life during this time, and the game basically clocked in for three quarters, and went home to accompany his two baby sons after taking a shower.

Both Downs and Yongqi are very long, and they have big hands and feet, and they are very talented basketball players.

There are very few basketball stars in NBA history, father and son, and even the offspring of superstars have not played.

Jordan's son is unknown in the basketball field, but that doesn't prevent him from living a chic life;

The magician's son has no interest in basketball, but that doesn't prevent him from being sexually interested in other ways;

This is also a reasonable thing, the son of a rich man is clothed and fed, unless he is interested, who wants to play professional basketball?

It's hard work to make anything a career, let alone choose one out of a million or even tens of millions in the NBA.

This is also the reason why there are many inspirational stories in the NBA, physical talent is one thing, and the struggle to make money is the most primitive motivation.

But Tang Tian and his son have hope of breaking this routine.

After all, he already has two sons, and the number wins, which Kobe Bryant can't compare.

The week was easy, but the final race of the weekend was not easy.

They're heading to Dallas to face off against the Mavericks.

The general manager of the Mavericks is Harris Jr., the son of the former Chinese men's basketball coach "Silver Fox" Harris.

He drafted Embiid and traded Booker for Butler to help the Mavericks rebuild and get back into championship contention, the operation of the century.

And this year's signing of Conley is to complete the construction of aircraft carriers.

Conley, Butler, Harris, Nowitzki, Embiid, that's the standard five-star lineup.

Although the brightness of the star is not as bright as that of the Warriors, the strength is definitely not bad.

With a record of 7 wins and 1 loss so far, it can still rank third in the West surrounded by a lot of giants, which is enough to explain the problem.

Against the Mavericks, the Pelicans' coaching staff and players are cautious.

It's easy to play the Cavaliers because they're familiar with the opponent, but the Mavericks have been reborn with Conley, and they're not necessarily worse than the Cavaliers.

The day before the game, the Pelicans arrived in Dallas as a team.

Tang Tian wanted to go out to catch up with Rabatler before the game, but he was politely refused.

Butler is really focused on winning the game right now.

The next night, the Pelicans and Mavericks officially kicked off at the American Airlines Center Arena, which was packed.

The Mavericks have returned to the championship for the past two years, and the enthusiasm of the fans continues to be high, and the opponent is the defending champion Pelicans, such a game is only high.

Mavericks owner Cuban also stood on the sidelines in his trademark blue T-shirt.

After the opening ceremony, the starters of both teams came out one after another.

The Mavericks are all five stars, and the Pelicans have maintained the starting lineup from the last game.

Davis jumped to win Embiid and kicked off the game.

Tang Tian played with Davis in the frontcourt, and misplaced Nowitzki's pull-up jump shot was pulled in.

Tactical simplification is not without tactics, and the Warriors team of Nelson Sr. has gone into a misunderstanding.

Shoot with a block, shoot with a little space, and frantically pull the rhythm to bombard.

That style of play eventually turns into grabbing hands, disrupting battles, fighting for the feel, and finally messing up into a pot of porridge.

The real simplification of tactics is to grasp the weak points in the opponent's defense and target them.

Just like the first game against the Cavaliers, Whiteside is the point that can be targeted, and the Mavericks, veteran Nowitzki, is that point.

The Pelicans came out on top.

But looking back, Conley organized in the frontcourt, and Harris came out to catch the ball with continuous pick-and-roll runs.

"Huh!"

The basketball also went into the net, and Harris returned an answerball!

Harris has improved every season, and his projection has become more consistent in his second year with the Mavericks.

The Pelicans ran without the ball in the frontcourt, and Bojan used Davis to cover the ball and make a three-point shot.

It's a great opportunity, and that's how the Pelicans played Whiteside in the last game.

However, the moment Bojan made a move, Butler suddenly let Tang Tian assist in the defense.

It was a bold choice, but it worked, Bojan was not very good at passing, and he opted to shoot early.

The pitcher's rhythm is very important, Bojan shot early to avoid Butler's interference, but the ball was thrown a little off, and it smashed directly out of the frame.

Fortunately, Davis showed his talent and flew to the basket to add the ball to the basket.

Embiid organized a response in the front court, Conley cut in to launch an attack, and Nowitzki went to the basket to receive Embiid's pass and score a basket.

4-4, the Mavericks opened with two consecutive tactical matches, and the Pelicans did not fall behind.

This kind of scene also lasted for nearly a quarter.

The Pelicans' offense was just as good as the previous eight games, and they scored as many as 32 points in a single quarter.

But the Mavericks didn't fall behind, scoring 30 points in a single quarter.

With a negligible 32-30 lead, the Mavericks were evenly matched with the Pelicans in the first quarter.

There is a reflection of the strength of the Mavericks, and another point that cannot be ignored is head coach Carlisle.

Carlisle is one of the few managers who can match Popovich's tactics.

But he's always been known as a tough woman for the Mavericks, especially after the breakup of that championship team in 2011.

However, in the past two years, the situation has finally improved.

Especially this year, the Mavericks sit on a five-star team, and he has fought a rare battle for wealth.

He also fully showed his coaching ability, the Mavericks are not absolutely supergiant, and if they want to play effectively, they need a top tactical coach like him.

At the beginning of the second quarter, there were two main players on both sides with three substitutes.

Butler and Embiid on the Mavericks' side, and Holiday and Jokic on the Pelicans' side.

It was in this segment that the Mavericks had the upper hand.

Embiid has grown up and is no longer as suppressed by Jokic as he was last season.

Of course, more important is Butler, as the new leader of the Mavericks, he plays both ends of the floor.

Under his leadership, the Mavericks beat the Pelicans 9-2 and in turn led the Pelicans by 5 points.

This five-point lead, they also maintained it all the way to midfield.

At halftime, the score was 60-55.

Tang Tian scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the half, and did what he had to do.

But the Pelicans trailed at halftime for the first time since the start of the season.

It's not that the Pelicans didn't play well, but the five-star Mavericks played a little well.

Conley had 8 points and 5 assists, Butler 15, Harris 8 points, Nowitzki 6 points, Embiid 5 points and 7 boards.

This data distribution is very similar to the Eagles under Budenholzer, the difference is that their individual strength, overall strength, and coach strength are stronger!

This is the fully upgraded version of the Eagles!
