In the last 33 seconds of the game, James. Harden had to continue to languish on the court. The reason is simple, there is no one to replace him with a battalion of rockets full of wounded soldiers.

When Harden hit his sixth shot of the day on Carter's head and scored a game-high 26 points, he didn't have the slightest joy.

In the final 33 seconds of the game, the Rockets still trailed by 12 points. Such a point difference really makes Harden unhappy no matter what.

In fact, Harden was pretty efficient today, shooting 6-of-14 from the field and shooting 42.9 percent. He made 3 of 5 three-pointers and made 13 free throws. With free throws, Harden scored 11 points.

But his somewhat "mediocre" performance will not allow the Rockets to defeat the Mavericks. What's more, McHale's bizarre arrangement didn't help Harden much.

Motai Yunas was an interior player who made just 3 of 8 shots. Josh. Smith came off the bench and took more shots than Harden. Of course, the hit rate is even lower.

"Junk Dog" Beverley has been out of shape since he was shaken down by Yiyang today, shooting 1 of 7 in the game, unable to shoot three points in the big open position, and was suddenly snapped by Mark several times.

As for the former champion candidate Terrence. Jones, in college, he was considered an all-around striker like Odom. You can control the ball, you can pass the ball, you can defend, you can shoot. But in the NBA, omnipotence became omnipotent. This seems to be a common problem for most NCAA all-round forwards. This is also the case with Bennett, who won last year.

With just nine points in 30 minutes played, it was clearly not what McHale expected of him.

The moment the electronic beep sounded to represent the end of the game, both Harden and McHale felt a sense of relief. This damn game is finally over!

Before the game began, the Rockets were in high spirits trying to crush the Mavericks. And now, they just want to get out of Dallas as soon as possible!

"The game is over, 111-100, Dallas in back-to-back battles, lightly defeated the Houston Rockets! By the end of this game, the Houston Rockets had dropped to sixth place in the West. There is no doubt that this record certainly does not meet the expectations of the Rockets. ”

Barkley looked at the court in disbelief and could tell that the Mavericks were exhausted. Although Carlisle's rotation was very delicate, they were undoubtedly very tired after only two overtimes yesterday.

But they just persevered, that is, they defeated the rocket that had rested for eight whole days. Perhaps, that's what the Mavericks' champions' hearts do.

Iguodala 13 points, Dirk 12 points, Wade 13 points, Gobert 10 points, Aminu 17 points, Mark 12 points, Bazemore 13 points, also 22 points. You have to admit that the gap between the two teams in terms of squad depth is huge. Under the bonding of Yi, everyone on the Mavericks can play a role as soon as they come up. Coach Carlisle blurred the line between starting and coming off the bench today, and there is no doubt that it was a very successful move. ”

"Eight people scored in double figures, which is a great achievement. I'm really interested in hearing what Coach McHale has to say about this game. O'Neal laughed evilly, and he was impressed by McHale's relaxed look before the game began.

McHale was walking down the tunnel with his head down, but unfortunately, he couldn't escape the reporters.

The same TNT reporter who interviewed him before the game came to the door again and blocked McHale's path.

At this point, compared to the dashing old man with a smile before the game, McHale looked like a reservoir dog.

"See you again, Coach McHale. It seems that tonight, the Rockets are playing quite badly. ”

McHale smiled awkwardly at the camera, but in his heart he was secretly scolding this damn reporter!

"You said you were going to be the winner before the game started, so what went wrong today that stopped you from becoming a winner?"

"The Mavericks played better than we thought they would, and we played worse than we thought we would, and that's all." McHale replied and "fled" the scene in despair.

"Next time, maybe McHale won't talk about it before the game." Looking at McHale's dejected appearance off the court, Barkley smiled.

This guy may be very good at basketball, but what about being a coach...... Barkley thinks he could do better than McHale.

"With 22 points and 15 assists, congratulations on another double-double and being voted Game of the Match. We all saw yesterday's big game in Oklahoma, but how did you overcome your fitness problems today? "In addition to McHale, the most high-profile person in this game is Yiyang.

'We're all together, and when everyone in a team is pushing in one direction, it's often very simple.

"Coach Carlisle got almost the same minutes as the starters and the bench today, what do you think of that set-up? Will the Mavericks continue to do this in the future? ”

"At the Dallas Mavericks, we don't have a starter and a bench. Everyone is a Mavericks player, and as long as they play, they will contribute to the team. So no matter how the rotation changes, it will not affect the team's performance. ”

Yiyang's every answer is just right, in fact, this is the real situation of the Mavericks at the moment.

When everyone is working towards one goal, winning the game is simply a matter of getting their hands dirty.

"They know what they're doing and what they're fighting for...... I don't have much more to say about this game. After the game, Terry's eyes in the interview were even more meaningful.

If it weren't for the Rockets' refusal to let go, the "Jets" would have returned to the skies of Dallas by now.

After two back-to-back games in the All-Star Game, the Mavericks are on a four-game winning streak since losing to the Warriors. With 53 wins and 5 losses, the Mavericks' record is enough to make the Golden State Warriors feel embarrassed.

After surviving one of the toughest back-to-back fixtures in February, Carlisle also breathed a sigh of relief. The team didn't get hurt and won the game, and there was nothing better than that.

As long as this group of back-to-back Mavericks passes, there is no need to worry about the rest of the February schedule.

After back-to-back games, the Mavericks host the Charlotte Hornets on Feb. 22.

Jordan was even there today to watch his team perform. However, the Hornets were suppressed by the Mavericks' defense throughout the game, shooting 36% of the game, making Jordan hide his face and shake his head.

"Maybe, Michael really wants to take off his suit and play himself, hahahaha!" Mike. Brin watched Jordan's reaction and couldn't help but laugh.

In this game, ESPN kept giving Yiyang and Jordan split-screen shots, and the intention was also very obvious. How far is Yiyang from breaking Jordan's record of 72 wins?

92-81, the Mavericks easily defeated the Hornets and won five in a row. With 54 wins and 5 losses, the Mavericks have 23 games to play next. Of the 23 games, the Mavericks would need to win 17 of them to have a chance of tying the 72-win record. If they want to break records, they have to do better.

"I don't think they can do it, winning 17 of 23 games, even with the Dallas Mavericks, it's a little bit too hard. What's more, now that the game has reached the end of the season, for the playoffs, Coach Carlisle will not let the players work so hard again. "This is the end of the game, 72 wins record setter, one of the skew. Pippen's answer on a show.

Pippen admits that the current Mavericks are great, but he doesn't think the Mavericks are as great as the Bulls were back then.

"72 wins in the regular season is a very great record, but we're not aiming to break the record." Carlisle's words when facing the reporter's camera made many fans who don't like the Mavericks breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that the Mavericks and that great record are destined to fail.

They seem to have forgotten that the Mavericks' record last season was 69 wins, though. It is only three games away from the 72-win record. This season's Mavericks are even stronger than last year. Even if they don't "deliberately" break the record, it's not impossible to work a miracle.

On Feb. 24, the Dallas Mavericks host the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors are very vocal in this game, and now even if the Mavericks lose one game, they will be a little further away from setting a record. Therefore, countless people are expecting the Raptors to overturn the Mavericks, after all, DeRozan and Lowry have been in excellent form this season.

The Raptors didn't disappoint, and their overall performance today was a pleasant surprise. But DeRozan and Lowry, the two leading stars, are disappointing.

DeRozan in Iguodala and Tony. Allen hit just seven of his 21 shots in the wheel battle. He scored just 18 points on 33.3 percent shooting.

As for the veteran rocket Lori, Yiyang took care of him clearly. With 11 points and 4 assists on 4-of-15 shooting, Lowry clearly failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a point guard.

Fortunately, the rest of the Raptors played well, allowing the Raptors to avoid being slaughtered by the Mavericks. In the end, the Mavericks defeated the Kings of the North 99-92, turning their record into 55-5!

Yiyang has 32 points and 12 assists, is the Maverick destined to be not as great as the Bulls of the year? Not necessarily!

At this point, the Mavericks have two games left to play in February. If they win all of them, they will only need to win 15 of their last 22 games to tie the record!

So far, the Mavericks have played 60 games. The Mavericks have lost only five of their 60 games. With 22 games remaining, it's nearly impossible for the Mavericks to lose more than five.

Unless, the Mavericks have a massive injury breakout.

I don't know if God can't stand the Mavericks continuing to wreak havoc, and the Mavericks have really had bad news in recent days.

First, Dirk had to take a break with a sprained ankle in training, and then Wade felt knee discomfort and took a break for observation. In the end, Iguodala also took two breaks because of the flu.

Overnight, three of the Mavericks' starting five were unavailable. Everyone cheered, the Mavericks' dream of 72 wins was over!

Sure enough, in the game against the Atlanta Hawks on Feb. 26, the Mavericks, who were short of major generals, trailed by 11 points in the first quarter. Originally, the Hawks were not a weak team this season, which can be seen from their 44-12 record.

But trailing by 11 points in the first quarter didn't discourage the Mavericks, but instead fueled their fighting spirit.

In the second quarter of the game, the Mavericks' efforts on the defensive end finally paid off. Carlisle has always believed that defense is the best way to chase points.

In the first 5 minutes and 55 seconds of the second game, they allowed the Eagles to score just two open goals. With 6 minutes and 20 seconds left in the quarter, Yiyang broke through and scored a layup, and the Mavericks chased the score to 39-43. After that, the Hawks scored 4 points to open the score again, but when Yiyang, the three-point king, and Carter Sr. each hit a three-pointer, the Mavericks narrowed the gap to 2 points.

This wave of offense boosted the morale of the Mavericks. So in the last three and a half minutes of the quarter, the Hawks shot 0-of-9 and did not score 1 point, and the Mavericks successfully overtook 53-49 at halftime!

In the second quarter of the game, the Mavericks completely blinded the Hawks. Dallas people are like a spring, the harder you press it, the harder they bounce back!

In the second half, even without Wade, Dirk and Iguodala, the Mavericks played well!

Tony. Allen played the number three position, filling the gap in Iguodala perfectly. Carter Sr. started in place of Wade, and the three-pointer pierced the heart of the Hawks. Aminu continued his solid performance, shooting almost never missing in the open space, leaving the Hawks unguarded.

And, of course, the never-say-die No. 1. After scoring 33 points himself, he also handed out 11 assists and another double-double to help the Mavericks win the comeback!

Six Mavericks scored double-doubles, 104-87, 56-5!

On the last day of February, no one expected anything from the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets also really "lived up to expectations" and lost by 10 points to the Mavericks, who lacked major generals.

When everyone thought that the Mavericks were about to end, Yiyang led the team to continue the winning streak. With a terrifying 57-5 record, he ended the entire February schedule.

Won 11 of 12 games, and throughout February, the Mavericks continued to go on a killing spree.

With just one and a half months to go before the regular season ends, the Mavericks are still losing just five.

The 72-win record is an impossible record to break in the eyes of almost all basketball fans. This number seems to symbolize the unchallengeable authority of the legendary bull. Almost all NBA experts will rank the Bulls' 72-win record as the most difficult to break the record!

But it has come to this, whether people like it or not. The truth is that it was only a matter of time before this legendary record was broken by another legendary team......
