On the same day, word spread about the Chinese advertisement.

Cosby and Seth Curry even went so far as to confirm with the team's staff that the answers they received were positive.

Many of the players were very happy.

As a lot of role players in the league, it's actually not as high as a superstar's income.

People like Francisco, Cosby, and others who are trying to get a middle-class contract, are a little older, or because of some defects, they can't get a middle-class contract.

Both men signed with the Mavericks on a base salary.

Therefore, it is a very happy thing to have other income.

The next day, when the Chinese media came to interview the small team, they saw that the players of the Mavericks were very amiable.

Every role player took the initiative to reach out to the Chinese media.

When asked about their views on Qin Yang, this group of teammates simply praised them undisciplinedly.

"He's the best player in this league, yes, the best one, and the only reason I came to Dallas was the manager who told me, hey, Bruce here, do you want to join? And then I came. ”

"Of course, he's the most special one, and there's no one in the entire league who can match him, and if anything, it's James and Kobe."

"Bruce is still very young and he's going to be the most dominant one in the next decade, so joining Dallas is the best decision I've made this season."

"With Bruce, I can feel the charm of China."

"If I go to China, of course, I will definitely go back to China in the off-season, and I hope that the Chinese fans will like me."

"China, I love you!"

……

Qin Yang obviously overestimated the player's discipline.

In just a few days, a group of people almost all became very friendly to China, and at the same time, in a short period of time, with the help of their agents, they opened a verified account on China's Weibo and began to interact with Chinese fans.

Of course, a month later, Al Jefferson actually received Xtep's contract.

The contract is not big, and the key is exclusive sneaker customization.

That's the treatment of a superstar in the NBA.

Al Jefferson was dying of joy.

…………

The game continues.

On November 1, the Mavericks played the Rockets away, and it was a tough match.

The Rockets have been strong this year, surprisingly strong.

Many media and pundits ranked the Rockets at the top of this year's regular season rankings, and many pundits even predicted that the Rockets had the third chance of winning the championship.

No. 1 Heat.

Second Thunder Team.

The third is Team Rocket.

Rockets starters, Howard, Harden, Jeremy Lin, Parsons, Asik.

This lineup is both offensive and defensive.

Not to mention Howard, Asik is also a very strong defense, good rebounding ability of the inside, Parsons performed very well last season, in the small forward position, efficiency value ranked in the top ten, excellent shooting, can pass, excellent defense.

Such 3D players are very rare.

Jeremy Lin doesn't need to say more, Lin's crazy name is resounding all over the alliance.

At the beginning of the game, the team was not as big as expected.

Howard defended Nowitzki, Novitzki was limited, and it was Parsons who defended Qinyang. This cargo is fast, there is no disadvantage in height, and strength is strong.

Qin Yang is not false, but the efficiency of singles is not very high.

Perhaps the only advantage for the Mavericks is that the Rockets aren't as great as they think.

Mavericks offense.

Qin Yang did not pass to Al Jefferson, and Jefferson did not get stuck on the inside, but went to the outside to start covering the block.

That's right, in Rick Carlisle's tactics this season, Qin Yang's blocking and dismantling tactics are the most important link.

It can't be helped, because the Mavericks' lineup is too suitable for blocking and dismantling.

Whether it's Dirk and Qin Yang, or Al Jefferson and Qin Yang, or Calderon and interior players, blocking and pick-and-roll is the best choice.

Jefferson made a thick block, and Qin Yang immediately broke through.

Asik's speed was too slow to keep up, but Howard was fast and rushed up directly, with Howard as a deterrent, Qin Yang didn't dare to shoot too willfully.

Qin Yang passes, Nowitzki catches the ball.

Parsons defending Nowitzki.

At this time, Dirk is not welcome, a classic golden rooster independence, easy shot, Parsons defense is very good, but it is useless.

Marion and Vince Carter on the perimeter were pulling the space, and the Mavericks' tactics were playing smoothly.

Waiting for the next attack, Al Jefferson was directly released, Qin Yang passed, and Al hit an easy mid-range shot.

Compared to most interior shots, Al Jefferson's shooting is accurate.

Although it is not as good as David West, it is quite standard.

The Rockets' defense has a big problem, relying too much on Howard, and although Parsons' defense on the outside is good, he can't support the defensive barrier alone.

To put it simply, the defense depends on the efforts of the whole team.

When the Magic won the championship, many people said that Howard's defense was crucial, and it was true, but everyone else's defense was not bad.

Qin Yang's offensive skills were not at their peak at that time, and he focused a lot on the defensive end, and he did a good job of defending on the outside.

At that time, the Magic team was strong defensively.

The Rockets' defense is worse than Harden.

Harden has had a new nickname since last year, called Uchiha Harden, or Harden Eye for short. Why?

Because when you defend, you just stare and don't defend.

It's almost completely empty.

, this play, Qin Yang was stunned.

You can still play like this!

Social Society!

Harden is very good on the offensive end, and Al's defense is not good, but he has to fight when he encounters an expert like Harden.

Eight minutes into the first quarter, Al Jefferson was substituted.

Three fouls, all on Harden, which is embarrassing.

Charles Barkley on the commentary bench couldn't stand it: "The league should take care of this kind of foul-making technique, after all, Al just straightened his arm, it was Harden who touched it, if it continues like this, then the game will not have to be played." ”

As long as Harden takes a shot inside, he either scores or makes free throws.

I can't stop it at all.

In the second quarter, Rudy Gobert came on.

Gobert is the tallest rookie this year, with the longest arm span and very fast, so the Mavericks were drafted in the first round.

This draft was very unexpected.

Because Gobert is so skinny, many even think he can't adapt to NBA-level confrontations.

But Gobert has performed well since entering the NBA, and in the preseason, Gobert has shown excellent positioning and defensive awareness, and can interfere with shots well.

This season, Gobert has been getting good playing time in every game.

The Mavericks are ready to develop him vigorously.

But......

James Harden continued to play in the second quarter, and Gobert was about to cry.

In the four minutes he played, three fouls, both of which were touched by Harden, Gobert helplessly stretched out his hand, but it was still a foul.

After four fouls in seven minutes, Coach Carlisle reluctantly replaced Gobert off the court.

Originally, I hoped that Gobert would use his defense to interfere with the Rockets' outside shooting, but in this case, there was really no way.

The Mavericks had too many fouls on both interiors.

Thackeray is back on the pitch.

It's up to Thackeray at the moment of truth.
