Chapter 549: Milwaukee in the Depths of Darkness
『Chapter error, click here to report』
22 points, this is Yiyang's lowest personal score in the first month of the new season. Some unreasonable people will take these 22 points everywhere and say that Yiyang's injury has affected his performance. But people who say this are often dismissed as idiots by other fans.
Is his injury affecting his performance? You better stop watching the ball, watching the ball costs electricity.
Although 22 points is indeed Yiyang's personal low this season, his low score is not because he can't shoot, nor because he is not in any bad shape, but because this guy divides all the scoring opportunities equally among everyone.
16 assists, a career high. Six players scored double-doubles, and the Mavericks were all soldiers. , a huge point difference. All of this is incompatible with the word "bad state".
The other 29 teams across the league must be very disappointed at the moment, and they were hoping to use Yiyang's injury to steal the victory from the Mavericks. But for now, not only will it be difficult for them to steal the victory, but they will also have to be careful not to lose too badly against the Mavericks.
In the final two games of November, the Mavericks will play back-to-back games against the Hawks and Timberwolves. One is teetering on the edge of the East top eight, and the other is struggling on the edge of the West top eight.
Both the Hawks and Timberwolves are eager to make the playoffs this season, and they've had enough of the bad times. This means that winning every game is important to them. So, they're going to fight every regular season game as if it's the last game.
But it's a pity that these two teams ran into the Mavericks.
In the first game, at the Phillips Center in Atlanta, the Eagles, eager to regain their opening revenge, played quite hard.
Al. Horford and Paul. Millsap went berserk with two short interior shots, and their long range tormented the inexperienced Gobert.
On the Mavericks' side, the poor shooting percentage of the players also gave Carlisle a headache.
In the 82 regular season games, even if the head coach has great ability, it is impossible to guarantee that the players will be in good shape every day. The game was dragged by the Eagles to the last moment, but at the critical moment, the role of the star was highlighted.
Yiyang scored back-to-back layups in the final minute and a half of the game, making the Eagles' 48-minute effort come to naught. You can see that Jeff. Teague works very hard to defend Yiyang, but an MVP-caliber player is not something you can defend if you work hard.
In the end, the Atlanta Eagles, who fought hard all the game, could only swallow the bitter fruit at the home Phillips Center. 90-85, the Hawks almost managed to get revenge. But a little bit and a lot worse, there is no difference in essence.
Yiyang scored a game-high 32 points, but only 7 assists were recorded because his teammates couldn't take advantage of their opportunities.
Although the process was quite thrilling, under the leadership of Yiyang, the Mavericks were able to retreat. 15-1, Dallas Mavericks win seven in a row!
Watching the Mavericks struggle so much in the last game, Adelman's Minnesota Timberwolves really wanted to take advantage of the fisherman. Since the Mavericks were already in such bad shape yesterday, how strong can the Mavericks be in back-to-back games today?
So as soon as the final day of the game in November began, Adelman had his players on the attack.
Love and Pekovic have two inside lines, one inside and one outside, and their offensive scoring is booming. Kevin. Martin, the league's most accurate "crooked handle", is also in Tony. Allen's defense magically hit a super high shooting percentage, and it seems that the Timberwolves really have a glimmer of hope of winning.
The Mavericks didn't play as well as they should have defended today, but God the old man just wasn't on Adelman's side. Because of the Mavericks' offense today, they played at a super level.
Yiyang, Nowitzki and Iguodala opened their bows left and right, making the Timberwolves' offense look extremely weak. Adelman found that no matter how many goals his team scored, they just couldn't take the lead, as the Mavericks' three "undersized Big Three" were always able to score more.
Nowitzki just hit a three-pointer here, and Yiyang on that side made a steady shot from the middle distance. Before he could recover his senses, Iguodala's violent slam dunk left Adelman in despair.
Today, Yiyang, Nowitzki and Iguodala hit 69%, 76% and 85% respectively, and it is not an exaggeration to say that these guys have a divine help on the court.
This kind of offensive battle is extremely enjoyable for the fans to watch, there is no nonsense, it is a goal! But the Timberwolves' firepower is indeed inferior to that of the Mavericks.
In the end, this high-round, fast-paced matchup also played a high score. The Mavericks beat the Timberwolves by six points at home, pushing the colectic Adelman into the top eight in the West.
Yiyang finished the game with 26 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds, while Nowitzki and Iguodala also scored 22 and 20 points, respectively.
After the game, Timberwolves veteran coach Adelman was interviewed by reporters. His expression could not be more appropriate to describe as loveless.
"They can defend, they can attack, even if they come to the end of their game, they can get out of it with the individual play of the stars. So tell me, how do you beat such a team? Adelman's evaluation of the Mavericks is more of a helplessness.
It's not that his players don't give up, but Kuban has Gundam.
After the victory over the Timberwolves, the Mavericks' record became 16-1, winning eight in a row, and no one in the league beat it. Last time, the Mavericks lost to the Miami Heat on an eight-game winning streak.
Fans are looking forward to the Mavericks extending their winning streak. It's clear that an eight-game winning streak can't satisfy the appetite of Mavericks fans. Of course, this will not satisfy the appetite of the Mavericks players themselves.
In their next game, the Mavericks will play the Milwaukee Bucks at home. It looks like the Mavericks' nine-game winning streak seems like a no-brainer.
The Milwaukee Bucks have won just three games so far this season, and even in the East, they booked the bottom spot early. It seems that the selection of "Greek Monster" Antetokounmpo will not satisfy their appetites, and the Bucks are aiming for a high rookie this year.
The team with the worst record in the league plays the team with the best record in the league, and the result is known without a match.
Although the Bucks have a Maverick veteran like O.J. Mayo on the lineup, you don't expect Mayo to explode against his old club. It turns out that no matter who the opponent is, Mayo doesn't care. All he cares about is the dollars and the nightly ecstasy.
The Bucks' locker room vibe this season is the same as Mayo's career, decadent, lazy, erosive, and without expectations.
Everyone sat in the dressing room and was not talking about wins and games. Except for wins and competitions, everything is discussed.
Antetokounmpo really didn't like the atmosphere, and the situation of the Bucks was so different from his original fantasy of the NBA. That said, the Greek didn't just mess around with his teammates. The good guy still spends a lot of time polishing his basketball skills every day, as he now does now, when he walks past Pachulia and Mayo, Antetokounmpo is ridiculed by the Georgians as usual.
"Hey Hades, are you going to torture yourself on the basketball court again?" Pachulia looked at Antetokounmpo, who was about to practice, as if he were looking at an idiot. And the reason why he likes to call Antetokounmpo Hades is because Antetokounmpo's original name is too difficult to pronounce, and Hades is the first god in Greek mythology to come up with a name for Pachuria, so he used Hades instead of Antetokounmpo's real name.
"Uh...... yes, it's okay to go back now anyway. The Greeks scratched their heads in unskilled English.
"How can it be okay? Hey O.J., tell that kid how nice the world is other than the basketball court, hahahaha. Pachulia smiled and patted Mayo on the shoulder, "teasing" Antetokounmpo has become a kind of pleasure for Pachulia and Mayo.
"Come on, he's going to scare the girls out of the way." Mayo looked at the "long-legged monster" in front of him and waved his hand.
"If it's okay, I'll go to the basketball court first." Antetokounmpo smiled awkwardly, he really didn't want to continue talking to the two men.
"Go ahead, sweat more, and hopefully in the next game against the Mavericks, you can lead us to a big victory." Pachuria's "encouragement" is full of irony. But he doesn't seem to be ashamed of losing.
"Dallas Mavericks......" Mayo muttered to himself, as if he hadn't remembered that the next game was against the Mavericks, and he happened to be with the Mavericks. Or maybe this guy has been eating a lot of stuff lately.
"That's right, the all-league Dallas Mavericks. Seriously, I've always been very annoying to that guy by his way of being on top. ”
"Also? Do you hate him? ”
"Don't you think that guy looks ...... when he is silent and refuses to answer other people's questions? Is it disgusting? Pachulia said, a look of disgust. A Chinese who has just achieved a little has raised his ass high.
Everyone has a different understanding of Yiyang, some people love him, and naturally some people hate him.
"Hey, why don't we surprise the Mavericks in the next game!" Pachulia said, smiling wickedly.
At least to Mayo, the smile was rather evil.
"Surprise? What surprises? ”
"Doesn't he like to break through? If he gets into the box in the next game, I'll let him enjoy it......"
Pachulia rubbed her palms excitedly, as if she had found a hint of fun for this boring season......
