Chapter 730: Record Terminator?
Chris. Paul hesitated desperately from beyond the three-point line, and the Clippers have been chasing points since the Mavericks hit five three-pointers in a row in the second quarter.
However, instead of narrowing, the gap has widened. By now, with 3 minutes left in the game, the Mavericks have led the Clippers by 27 points!
That's right, a full 27 points, a point difference that no one expected to see in such a game!
In the second half of the second quarter, the Mavericks focused all on defense and didn't allow the Clippers to close the margin easily.
Once that breath is suppressed, it will be very difficult to think about it again. Therefore, in the third quarter of the game, the Clippers' offense was messed up, but the Mavericks' three-pointer shot was shot away again.
Nowitzki shot 3-of-3 from beyond the three-point line today, and Carter, who came off the bench, shot a terrifying 5-of-6 three-point shooting. The Mavericks were on fire from the outside, and if it weren't for seeing Yiyang on the floor, Paul would have even thought they were fighting the Warriors.
Speaking of Yiyang, he also performed well outside the three-point line today. made 6 of 8 shots, and Yiyang scored 18 points just by relying on three-pointers. And this is also Yiyang's most games outside the three-point line this season.
In the third quarter, the Mavericks scored 38 points in a single quarter, widening the margin to more than 20 points in one fell swoop.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Clippers seemed to finally come to their senses. But in the face of the Mavericks, who have already thrown away, what they can do is not to close the score, but to slow down the Mavericks to pull away the score.
Paul knew it would be an impossible task to chase nearly 30 points in three minutes. So at this time, he was a little discouraged, and his enthusiasm was not as good as before.
Eventually, Griffin slammed into the basket, but was fanned off by Gobert with a big shot. Yiyang receives the basketball and immediately passes it to his college teammate Mark.
Mark drove the ball into the restricted area and, after captivating everyone on the Clippers' defense, miraculously passed the ball back beyond the three-point line.
In the position outside the 45° three-point line on the right side of the basket, Yiyang catches the ball and shoots!
There is no suspense, and today's Mavericks' three-point shots are as accurate as ICBMs. The basketball passed through the net, and Yiyang made his seventh three-pointer of the game. And this three-point shot also officially opened the difference on the court to 30 points!
30 points, even if the Clippers have great ability, they have no possibility of turning the tables. After this goal, Doug . Rivers called a halt to the game. Don't think he's setting up some amazing tactics, he called this timeout just to replace all the main players.
"Doug. Coach Rivers switched to an all-bench lineup and the game was over! The Los Angeles Clippers gave up resistance, and perhaps they should have given up a long time ago. Today, the Mavericks' firepower is simply unmatched! ”
"It's incredible, am I really watching the Mavericks play?" O'Neal shook his head, he can win by 30 points against the Clippers, is it because the Clippers are in poor shape, or is the Mavericks in too good shape?
In fact, the play of both sides today was relatively normal, but the Mavericks seized the gap on the defensive end of the Clippers.
Championship coach Doc Doc
Rivers' defensive arrangement has made fans around the world see a different calf, a calf who soars three-pointers and is no worse than the Warriors.
Shooting 16-of-28 from the field, shooting 57.1 percent, the Mavericks' performance from beyond the three-point line today is proof enough that they're a well-rounded team. No matter where you want to block from, there is no such thing as an offensive dead end for the Mavericks!
He was also very aggressive from beyond the three-point line in this game, and it turned out that his three-point title was not won by luck. This guy just doesn't like to shoot three-pointers, and once he shoots, the accuracy is quite scary. Although the game continues on the field, Barkley has put all his attention on the Chinese who is resting on the bench.
Yiyang's long-range shooting ability is not as perverted as Curry, and he can't make it possible to hit a three-pointer with the ball and a little space. But Yiyang wins and wins, and his ability to shoot when he catches the ball is very strong.
Yiyang used his speed, brains and agility to cause Paul a lot of problems when it came to running off the ball. In the case of passing, Yiyang can run a big space for himself by running without the ball.
At this time, as long as his teammates' passes are timely, Yiyang can always hit three-point shots. And Yiyang also likes to catch the ball in one step inside the three-point line, and then withdraw his hand after receiving the ball, this rhythm Yiyang simply likes it anymore.
said that Yiyang is not a "shooter", just because the object of comparison with him is the "perverted quasi" Curry.
A more well-rounded Yiyang and Mavericks seem to make the chances of the rest of the league beating them even slimmer.
In the end, the 30-point difference remained until the end of the game. 129 to 99, before Paul flew to Dallas, he would never have imagined that what greeted him at the Center of American Airlines would be a bloody massacre!
"Incredible win, the Mavericks only won by eight points in the last game against the second-to-last Lakers in the West. But today, they defeated the Clippers, who are in third place in the West, by an unbelievable margin! In the world of basketball, there are no rules! ”
Seeing this result, Lakers fans were overjoyed. Los Angeles Second Team, sure enough, is Los Angeles Second Team. It's not unusual for our "first team" Lakers to lose by only 8 points and the second team to lose by 30 points.
After the game, Rivers, who was shot into a sieve, had black lines all over his face. Throughout the game, his tactics were suppressed by Carlisle.
When interviewed by reporters, reporters did not shy away from saying something. "Do you have something wrong with your tactical arrangement?"
Rivers looked at the camera, and hung his head silently.
This guy has lost so much that he can't speak.
Of course, Paul's mood was not much better. In the last game against Westbrook, Paul slashed 33 points and 9 assists, and was in excellent form. But today, only 11 points and seven assists were recorded. Compared with Yiyang's 38 points and 11 assists, Paul really has no color.
From the first time the two sides met in the playoffs, to now, Yiyang is still getting stronger, but Paul can only try to maintain his condition.
The gap between the two seems to have gotten bigger and bigger......
Sure enough, this era is destined not to belong to Chris. Paul?
※※※
By the time the Clippers players flew back to Los Angeles in disgrace, Dallas was already jubilant. Defeating the Clippers, the Mavericks have officially achieved a record of 60 wins this season!
In the East this season, only the Hawks have the potential to hit 60 wins, and even the Cavaliers, who now have a record of 40 wins and 25 losses, are doomed to miss out on 60 wins.
With a month to go before the end of the regular season, the Mavericks have already done what most teams in the league can't accomplish in a season.
"The Dallas Mavericks are now leading the league! For them, the regular season has lost its meaning. The only point is to pursue the 72-win record! After the game, the current Bucks coach Jason, who is still leading the team to fight for a playoff spot. Kidd commented.
That's right, even if the Mavericks don't win a game in the next month, they can still sit in the top two in the West. With the exception of the Warriors, no team in the West has the potential to win to 60 games.
The regular season standings have been finalized for the Mavericks, and they can't fall out of the top two anyway. Now, their only task in the regular routine is to win 72!
"Keep your eyes open, because this season, we will witness greatness!" Buck used this sentence to end the live broadcast of the Mavericks-Clippers game.
On March 13, after the victory over the Clippers, LeBron . James and his Cleveland Cavaliers stepped up and fired the first shot to stop Yiyang from creating the myth.
In today's game, the Cavaliers with a full lineup won in the Quick Loan Center. James, Irving, . Smith, the Cavaliers scored twenty points and beat the Mavericks to the ground. There are even fans who have given them a well-known nickname - the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!
In the previous two meetings with the Mavericks, the Cavaliers lost. In this game, after returning from injury, James naturally wanted to move back very much. And today, the Cavaliers played really well. Although the game was fierce, the Cavaliers still relied on more scorers to completely tear the Mavericks apart.
124 to 118, both sides played very high, and the game was very enjoyable. It's just that after this game, the Mavericks' record became 60-8, and the hope of breaking the record became slim.
"The Great Record Strangler!" After the game, LeBron. James became the hero to all those who didn't want to see the Mavericks break the record. Especially Sam. Smith, this guy can't praise LeBron enough.
"A great player has made the arrogant pay the price!"
Overnight, everyone's attention shifted from Maverick and Yiyang to James and the Knights.
Seeing this result, Carlisle could only shake his head helplessly. The record of the god of basketball is really not so easy to break.
From October to February, the Mavericks lost just five games in total. But before March was over, the Mavericks had already lost three games.
Maybe even God doesn't want to see that record broken, so every opponent of the Mavericks was strong in March. Every game is not easy.
Despite this, Carlisle felt relaxed. There is no pressure of results, and there is no pressure of a 72-win record. This month, I and my team can rest well and prepare for the playoffs.
"Let's go, let's go to the press conference." After the players had changed their clothes, Carlisle walked to the media reception room with Yiyang as usual.
As soon as the two appeared, they caused an uproar. The reporters raised their hands, and they had countless questions that they wanted answers from their mouths.
"Also, the possibility of breaking the 72-win record will be wiped out like this, do you feel unwilling!?" The first reporter to be named did not shy away from throwing out this issue that everyone was extremely concerned about.
But after listening to the question, Yiyang was as cold as a stone, and he didn't even frown.
"The possibility of breaking the 72-win record being wiped out? What are you talking about, man, we even have a game to lose. ”
After listening to Yiyang's answer, Carlisle beside him was stunned.
