Chapter 576: The Strongest Maverick?

Doug. Rivers lied to Griffin yesterday, and at halftime, he told Griffin that fans may not remember the dunk anymore.

Miss by a mile! Not only did the fans remember, but the slam dunk became one of the most replayed game scenes by major TV stations the next day!

The second place in the NBA's five best balls of the day was Yiyang's shot against Griffin! And the reason why this shot is only second is because in yesterday's game between the Warriors and the Hawks, Stephen. Curry delivered a buzzer-beating three-pointer. If it weren't for the existence of this killer goal, the "combination" of Griffin and Yiyang would definitely be at the top of the list!

Not only on TV, but also on the Internet, Griffin was almost one-sidedly questioned.

"Blake was so arrogant before the game started, I thought he was so good. As a result, he only scored 15 points with a 37% shooting rate, and this is the answer sheet he handed in, which is really ridiculous! ”

"30 points, 11 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, you think I'm talking about Blake. Griffin? No, no, no, I'm talking about being too scared to respond before the game starts! ”

"Blake. Griffin may have had some sort of misconception about himself and the Clippers, even though he and the Clippers played well in the first three games. But the Dallas Mavericks and Yi have been doing really well all season so far. ”

Countless basketball commentators and fans are almost on Yiyang's side, and Griffin uses his own personal experience to interpret the meaning of the Chinese idiom "self-defeating" for fans across the United States.

And after that day's game, Griffin, who was still active in front of the media, disappeared for the time being.

He turned down all interviews with reporters and even turned down invitations to appear on TV shows. This guy just wants to stay in his own nest for now, and when the whole thing settles down, he will re-enter the public eye.

And the tweet posted after the end of the Yiyang game was also liked by celebrities from all walks of life. Among them, including Carter and Kobe, who are recovering from injuries at home, including Wade, who is working hard for the championship, and Wall, who just lost to Yiyang. Of course, Hayward and then-Celtics coach Brad Brown were also indispensable. Stevens.

This phenomenon surprised many media to find that the usually taciturn Chinese defender has unexpectedly quite good connections in the league. They can imagine that if it was Yiyang who was blocked and Griffin who tweeted, maybe Griffin would not have received so many likes from the stars.

The reason why Yiyang is quite mixed in the alliance is because of one thing. This poor boy from Wood knows what respect is.

He respects all opponents, no matter what color you are, what nationality, what position, whether you are a star or a water cooler administrator...... No matter who it is, Yiyang will give him the least respect.

Of course, respect for this thing is mutual. If you touch the point of Yiyang like Griffin or Pachuria, then Yiyang will let you know what is the greatest disrespect.

The victory over the Clippers can be said to make Mavericks fans feel happy. Yiyang not only shut up that annoying guy from Griffin, this victory also finally allowed the Mavericks to play their second ten-game winning streak of the season!

As the saying goes, there is no absolute underdog in the NBA league, and each team has its own unique style and style of play

Therefore, if you want to win consecutive games in the NBA, you have to beat multiple different types of opponents, which is inseparable from team strength, team chemistry, fatigue, etc. If one ring goes wrong, the winning streak can be broken.

So far this season, only two Texas teams, the Spurs and Mavericks, have won more than 10 games in a row, and neither of the Miami Heat nor the Oklahoma City Thunder has done so. It can be seen that a long-term winning streak is no easy task in the regular season.

The media took a look at the Mavericks' schedule for the next month, and with both the Mavericks and Yiyang in such good form, they couldn't help but ask a question.

"Will the Mavericks' longest winning streak in franchise history be broken this season!?"

As soon as this topic was raised, it was frantically discussed by fans and experts. Generally speaking, except for the Mavericks who won the championship in Yiyang's rookie season, it is generally believed that the Mavericks in the 06-07 season are the strongest.

The Mavericks' 67 wins in the '06-07 season are the league's best record since the 1996-1997 season, tied for first place with the Lakers who had the "OK combination" in '00, and also ranked sixth in the all-time overall rankings.

Excluding the 4-game losing streak at the start of the season and the 3-1 win at the end of the season when the main team rested for four games, the Mavericks have a 66-8 record in the middle, with a winning rate of 89%! They won 8 in a row, 12 in a row, 13 in a row, and 17 in a row, swept all 15 teams in the East at home, and their record in the first half of the season was even comparable to that of the Bulls, who won 72 games that year.

People are fantasizing about whether the Mavericks have a chance to win the first O'Brien Cup in team history ahead of schedule if they don't get the Black Eight this year or if the first-round opponent is not the Warriors led by Nelson Sr.

After all, the Warriors were a real Mavericks that year, and Nelson Sr., who once coached the Mavericks, knows the team very well. If the opponent in the playoffs is different, history may be very different from now.

And this 17-game winning streak was created by the unbeatable Mavericks in the 06-07 season.

This season, the Mavericks are no worse than the Mavericks in the 06-07 season, both on paper and in actual performance. Even, a little better! So it's really not impossible to break the winning streak.

After the last 10-game winning streak, if it weren't for Carter's injury and Yiyang's ban, God knows if the 17-game winning streak would still exist!

Although the topic is now hotly hyped by the outside world, Carlisle only gave one word to the players during training.

"Forget those damn records! We're not here to break records, so don't put the burden on yourself. Every game is played normally, and that's enough. Don't listen to the nonsense of the people outside, they will only cause us trouble! "Wouldn't Carlisle want to break the Mavericks' winning streak? Of course he wanted to! This is a chance to make a name for yourself!

But putting the huge pressure of "breaking records" on your body is not a good thing for the team and the players. Therefore, Carlisle would rather not let the players think about a damn record and let the record be stable.

Most of the Mavericks are old fritters and aren't really interested in documenting this kind of thing. And a young man like Gobert has no idea about a 17-game winning streak. As for Yiyang, Carlisle is not worried that he will be overstressed. That guy can distinguish priorities, and there may be no one in this alliance who has a better mentality than Yiyang.

While the outside world was hotly discussing the 17-game winning streak, the Mavericks players continued to hit the road with a relaxed mindset.

Just one day after winning the matchup against the Clippers, the Mavericks host the New York Knicks.

The Knicks have not had a great season with a 10-22 record that clearly doesn't meet their expectations. Stoudemire continued to be injured, and Anthony became more and more "cancerous". Although there is Tyson. Chandler, a Mavericks veteran, is on the inside, but the Knicks' defense is still not improving.

Today, in the face of their old teammates, Yiyang and Maverick showed no mercy. From the first quarter of the game, they were in complete control of the situation. Chandler is no longer the "boxing champion" of his time, and while he is still one of the league's best defensive centers, his dominance is no longer on par with what it used to be.

looked at Yiyang, a rookie who was young at the beginning, but now he handles the Mavericks' offense in an orderly manner like Kidd. Chandler couldn't help but sigh that time can really change everything.

Anthony made 20 wild shots and scored just 19 points. Tyson. What about Chandler? No blocks, no scores. Four rebounds, that's all he contributed to the whole game. When young people like Yiyang become stronger and stronger, it also means that old guys like Chandler are gradually withdrawing from the stage of history.

The weak Knicks are naturally no match for the Mavericks, and their 11-game winning streak is on the rise. 92-80, the Mavericks won easily. Yiyang's performance of 35 points and 8 assists also allowed him to completely defeat Anthony, the scoring champion who pressed him by 0.1 points last season, from the front.

After the game with New York, the Mavericks encountered the second consecutive "score question", the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers are full of injuries this season, and there have even been cases where players have no substitutes available after six fouls, so they have to make an exception to continue to play on the court. People say that the bench at the Staples Center is the most comfortable in the league. Because the Lakers' empty bench can even make you lie on it with your whole being.

Although Kobe Bryant had joked with Yiyang before the game, saying that the Lakers would end the Mavericks' winning streak. But jokes are jokes after all, and unless Kobe Bryant can wear the jersey himself, there will be no variables in this game.

When a team relies on a draft finalist like Thackeray to play as a starting center, you can probably guess how frustrated the team is. The Mavericks barely met any resistance and won their 12th straight game of the season at home!

111-97, the Mavericks won cleanly. Yiyang had 30 points, 10 assists and 3 blocks, and won the game like a child.

After the game, Bryant first congratulated the Mavericks. But he also threatened that sooner or later he would take revenge on Yiyang. It seems that the entanglement between this pair of old enemies and old friends is enough for fans to watch the whole thing.

And Yiyang was reminded by reporters to find out that the 12-game winning streak was already the longest winning streak he had ever played in his career! The reporters asked Yiyang how he felt about breaking his career winning streak, but Yiyang was speechless.

He didn't even know about the existence of this record, so how could he feel?

"I just want to win, record or something, I don't care too much." Yiyang told the truth, he is such a strange guy. This poor boy from Wood has always been interested in real wins.

As for the other accessories, they are dispensable!

So far, another milestone in Yiyang's career has been completed. The Dallas Mavericks are just five games away from tying their 17-game winning streak.

Yiyang has already broken his own career record, and in the eyes of fans, it is only a matter of time before he breaks the team's historical record......
