April 13 marks the penultimate day of the NBA regular season. Today, the NBA has 12 matchups scheduled, and many of them will have to fight for their final standings today.

The Dallas Mavericks are one of the few teams in the West that don't have to worry about standings, but today, they can't afford to take it lightly.

"Hello audience friends, I'm at the North Shore Garden Arena in Boston. I believe everyone knows the highlight of today's game, yes, that is, whether the record of 72 wins can be broken! An ESPN reporter stood in front of the camera, and behind him, it was already crowded outside the North Shore Garden Arena.

Don't get me wrong, Celtics fans aren't interested in the Mavericks' 72-win run at all. They came today to see if the team could make it to sixth place in the East and avoid the Cavaliers.

At this time, in the away team locker room at the North Shore Garden Arena, the Mavericks players were changing their equipment. This could well be their biggest game of the regular season of the year, so no one wants to go wrong.

Carlisle has also been writing and drawing in his little notebook, and Carlisle's improvement in on-the-spot command ability in recent years is inseparable from this small notebook he carries. He didn't want his players to play well and be beaten by Stevens and lose the game.

73 wins, they've worked hard all season, and now, it's time to reap the rewards!

On the other side, everyone on the Celtics team is also waiting for it. This season, they have been able to make the playoffs, which is quite remarkable. But with the Celtics, there's never such a thing as "satisfied." They don't just want to make the playoffs, they want to go far in the playoffs!

To achieve that, the Dallas Mavericks are an opponent they must topple. After 72 wins in their last game, the Mavericks are already a powerhouse in history. But the Celtics players are not discouraged by this, no matter how strong the team is, there are times when they lose, and so far this season, haven't the Mavericks also lost 8 games? Why must the Celtics have no chance?

"The Mavericks are going to be very aggressive when they get on the court, so we've got to hold our ground! Playoffs, guys. Our playoffs have begun! Stevens looked at everyone with a serious expression, and he said that he would prevent Yiyang from winning 73 wins, but he was not joking!

When the Celtics players walked out of the tunnel, they found that the Mavericks had already begun to warm up. It can be seen that they are also very serious about this game.

While one is for one possibility in the playoffs and the other is for breaking history, the two purposes are different and the impact is very different.

But there is one thing that is absolutely the same between the two teams, and that is their determination to win!

"I'm almost out of breath because of the excitement of the game, and this game is a preview of the intense playoffs!" In the stands, Mike. Brin can't wait to see the game get started.

While the Celtics haven't won against the Mavericks once this season, it was before the mid-season trade.

After the mid-term trade, the Celtics have grown in strength. Lost Jeff though. Green, the team's leading scorer, and Rondo, the only star, but the Celtics seem to be better suited to Stevens' tactics.

At the very least, there won't be a guard who can be a coach and still likes to grab rebounds and fights with Stevens every day. "You're!"

Before the game began, Yiyang glanced at Stevens. Stevens thinks the Mavericks are a terrible opponent, and similarly, Yiyang feels the Celtics are a terrible opponent. If they can play against teams like the Timberwolves today, then 73 wins will be within reach. Even if they meet the eagle that is the first in the east, Yiyang is more sure.

But instead, they bumped into the Celtics, who are seventh in the East. Seventh in the East, sometimes, even harder than the first in the East!

After the warm-up, the game officially began. Players from both sides stand in their assigned positions and prepare for kick-off. At this time, in the stands, countless fans were holding a number of plates. On the plates, they drew a slash over the number 73.

The meaning is simple, the Dallas Mavericks don't want to take 73 wins away at North Shore Gardens!

Yiyang didn't feel that the Celtics fans were comforting themselves, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the round-headed point guard opposite. The arrival of this guy is the most important reason for the great increase in the strength of the Celtics!

The referee blew the whistle, and the most crucial regular season game of the season officially began. Gobert easily moved from white center Taylor. Zeller snatches the ball away in his hand, and Yiyang launches his first attack!

Isaiah. Thomas was not afraid, and as soon as he passed the half, the small defender who was only 1.75 meters tall was pasted up. Is Stevens the most proud disciple? Little Thomas really wants to see how powerful he can be!

Although Yiyang and Thomas Jr. have been working hard in the league for many years, due to the problem of Thomas Jr.'s role positioning in the past, he rarely plays against Yiyang.

Under normal circumstances, when Thomas Jr. plays, Yiyang goes down to rest. When Yiyang returns, Thomas Jr. will be replaced again.

In previous seasons combined, Yiyang and Thomas Jr. did not even play against each other for more than 15 minutes, so neither side was too impressed with each other.

Therefore, today, it is the first time that Yiyang and Thomas Jr. have officially aligned each other!

Yiyang knows that Stevens is good at training point guards, and he also knows that he knows how to develop tactics for point guards. Although Thomas Jr. is short in stature, as long as he breaks through, Stevens will definitely arrange for someone to "wipe his ass" for Thomas Jr.

Just when Yiyang was about to easily squeeze past Thomas Jr., Yiyang realized that the strength of this short guard was far beyond his imagination!

Little Thomas is very stable under the coil, and the strength of his upper limbs is also not weak, which puts a lot of pressure on Yiyang. Seeing that the fighter was delayed, Yiyang passed the ball directly to Iguodala, who was in the middle distance.

Iguodala quickly hoisted the ball inside and Nowitzki faced Brandon. Buzz easily turned over and hit a jumper, and the Mavericks took the lead!

Although the Mavericks still scored smoothly, although Yiyang still organized the offense in an orderly manner. But the strength of little Thomas greatly exceeded Yiyang's expectations. This guy is not simple!

That kind of power, it shouldn't be tied down to a body of 1.75 meters!

Next, the Celtics' offense, Yiyang is ready to fight, this is Thomas Jr.'s forte!

Back last season, Thomas Jr. was averaging 20 points per game. For a player who is only 1.75 meters tall, averaging 20 points per game, this is definitely an incredible achievement.

But it is precisely because of his height that Thomas Jr. is still not trusted by the Kings even if he plays excellent statistics. Therefore, he was thrown to the sun. He played half a season with the Suns and was thrown to the East.

Limited by his height, Thomas Jr.'s singles ability may not be as impressive. But don't forget, Stevens is a master tactician who can make point guards shine!

Taylor. Zeller blocked and dismantled, Thomas Jr. did not hesitate and took the opportunity to break through!

Gobert made up for it, but Thomas Jr. paused, and then hit the ground without giving any eyes!

Goebel's heart was cold, knowing that something big was not good! When he turned around, Taylor. Zeller was already holding the ball and rushing towards the basket.

The passing of the ball without looking at the man after causing the delay is not a unique patent of Yiyang.

Don't look at Taylor. Zeller is a white insider, but he bounces very fast. In fact, the Zellers are pretty good at bouncing. His younger brother, Cody Brown, who currently plays for the Charlotte Hornets. Zeller, too, is a veritable jumping man.

Zeller smashed a one-handed dunk to end the Celtics' first offense. While Zeller was clearly lacking in power when he dunked, it set the North Shore Gardens on fire as well. At least this offense, he proved that the Mavericks are not indestructible!

After that, Yiyang made a mid-range pull-up jump shot under the cover of Nowitzki. Borrowing the mid-range shooting after the pick-and-roll, this is one of Yiyang's most commonly used offensive methods. He knew how to threaten his opponent with his jump shot, and although Thomas Jr. tried to get there, he couldn't stop Yiyang from shooting.

On the second offense, the Mavericks are still strong! The game was very intense and addictive at the beginning.

Despite a second defensive defeat in a row, Thomas Jr. was not discouraged. This game has just begun!

The Celtics are attacking again, and this time, everyone on the Mavericks is ready to lock up the opposing offense!

But Thomas Jr. was not intimidated by such a formation, this guy hesitated outside the three-point line, raised his right hand, and continued to block and dismantle!

Brandon. Bas came to Yiyang's right side, covering his crotch with both hands. Thomas Jr. began to move to the side where there was a pick-and-roll, while Yiyang went around the cover in advance in an attempt to squeeze out a favorable defensive position.

But at this moment, little Thomas changed hands very quickly and changed direction, and stabbed to the side that was not blocked!

"Damn it!" Yiyang didn't expect Thomas Jr. to come to this hand, but he couldn't chase it back after being delayed by Bass.

Thomas Jr. made a smooth break into the mid-range, and Gobert had to take a step ahead to prevent the opponent from hitting the shot.

Thomas Jr. paused behind the free throw line, as if he was really ready to shoot. But just when Gobert hesitated, Thomas Jr. suddenly accelerated! He seized the time of the other party's hesitation for a few tenths of a second to win an opportunity for himself.

Carlisle couldn't help but shake his head, that guy, just as smart as Yiyang, also knew how to use his jump shot threat to trick the other party.

After getting past Gobert in one step, Thomas Jr. finished the offense with a spoon layup.

Gobert struggled to stretch his arms, but could only watch as the basketball grazed his fingertips and crashed into the basket. Thomas Jr.'s layup, like Paul and Curry, was just right.

"Scoring in a row, incredible Isaiah. Thomas, I've never seen a defender play so calmly in front of Yi! However, with a height of only 1.75 meters, he did it! ”

Seeing Thomas Jr. score again, Yiyang couldn't help but shake his head. Is Thomas Jr. too strong on his own? It's strong, but it's not exaggerated. At least compared to Wall, Owen and others, Thomas Jr. is not so strong.

How so? Thomas Jr. is like a matsutake mushroom, and in the past, he could only be taken to "stir-fry meat with shiitake mushrooms" at the "roadside stalls" in Sacramento and Phoenix. But in the hands of Stevens, a "Michelin chef", Thomas Jr. can be made quite dreamy.

The partnership between Stevens and Thomas Jr. is what makes the Celtics able to play in the back. Between the two, one is indispensable!

After all, these are all offensive tactics set up by Stevens according to Yiyang. He has always wanted to find a Yiyang-style point guard, but he didn't expect to find it.

Sure enough, with Stevens' game, it will never be easy. ()
