In the end, it was just a weak team in the West, so the game opened up after a while, and the first quarter was not over, and the score difference came to 9 points.

Hojberg replaced Li Ming early to rest.

The Mavericks made a substitution here, replacing Matthews and Knoll on shooting guard and power forward, and taking Dwight Powell.

This is the second round show of 14 years.

Powell played in 136 games, including 105 starts, and averaged 262 minutes per game, scoring 108 points and 63 rebounds in 136 games.

It was also because of the four years I spent in college that I ran out of potential and could only rank in the second round.

However, his playing time with the Mavericks is not bad, averaging 214 minutes per game and scoring 84 points!

As far as this score is concerned, in terms of substitutes, it is already a good rotation, and the key is that he is still cheap, 37 million in 4 years, this price is not a big contract at all in the inflationary league.

It's a bargain.

The other is Jogiferer, a backup at shooting guard, who is even worse than Powell, who was an undrafted pick in '16 but shines in the Summer League with his own efforts and gets the opportunity to sign with the basket.

201617 rookie season, Ferrer played a total of 10 games for the basketball team, averaging 151 minutes per game, scoring 54 points and 17 assists, which was naturally not enough for him to stay with the basketball team, so he was cut!

After being cut by the Nets, Yogiferer signed with the Long Island Basketball Team of the Development League. In 18 games for the Long Island Baskets, Ferrell averaged 187 points, 29 rebounds and 58 assists in 357 minutes per game and was named to the Development League's 2017 All-Star team.

It was also with this outstanding performance in the Development League that he attracted the attention of the Mavericks and successfully signed a two-year contract.

Far from the end of the 20162017 season, Jogiferer was named Western Conference Rookie of the Month in February, becoming the first player in Mavericks history to win Rookie of the Month since Devin Harris in November 2004.

Throughout February, Ferrer averaged 12 points per game, ranking first among rookies in the West

He averaged 47 assists per game and was the first rookie in the West

He hit 21 three-pointers this month and remains the No. 1 rookie in the rankings.

It's also these stats that make him another firepower output on the Mavericks' bench.

Yogiferer, with his efforts, interprets what it means to be a hero regardless of the origin!

When these two people came on the court, the strength of the Mavericks team did not decline once, and the goal efficiency on the court also improved a little, which really has to be said to be a very emotional thing!

Think about it, besides the Clippers, what other team can have a better bench than the starters!

I'm afraid it's only the Mavericks!

The Bulls couldn't do such a miraculous thing, which made them bite the score by the Mavericks, and at the same time, the momentum was completely driven.

The mood of the whole team changed abruptly, and they were full of energy, and in the energetic attack, they narrowed the gap back to 2 points.

It was about six minutes into the second quarter.

Li Ming is back on the field.

Smith also followed, and he didn't come up in the second quarter, because the Mavericks' second team played well and chased quickly, so he also held back until now.

Or there is another reason, that is, I want him to match Li Ming!

Li Ming has been playing against Smith for a while, and the latter probably knows that he can't stop Li Ming, so he just symbolically stretched out his hand and didn't defend too seriously.

The head coach of the Mavericks looked at it but didn't have any expression at all, he acquiesced to Smith's approach!

That's the bad team culture.

When winning or losing doesn't matter, when the team gets used to losing, then gradually it doesn't care, it doesn't care if it wins or loses, and defense doesn't matter anymore!

In fact, no matter what kind of team it is, even if it is the Warriors, looking at them without height, it seems that they don't want to defend, but their defensive ability is unusually sharp.

There is a saying, what is the era of small ball, it sounds mysterious, but in fact, it is a defensive counterattack, seizing the opportunity of other people's mistakes or attacking misses, and giving full play to the advantages of their own small and fast spirit to score the ball.

So, defense is fundamental for all teams to win.

In his rookie season, Smith should establish the correct concept of defense, but unfortunately, the head coach of the Mavericks has a feeling of resignation, which is a feeling that it doesn't matter if the team is bad anyway and doesn't care whether it defends or not.

It's a pity that they forgot that even Durant didn't defend in the early stages, which led to how many years it took him to learn to defend later.

It's the same with LeBron, the scoring statistics in the first seven years are simply beautiful, but at that time, he didn't use his body to the maximum to put into defense, so he didn't have a championship for so long.

A prime example, Duncan, has played very well on both offensive and defensive ends since he entered the league, which is why the Spurs were able to win the championship early after he joined.

Because Duncan has been a deterrent player on both ends of the floor from the start!

Li Ming scored a goal, and the difference was stretched to four points!

The Mavericks head coach wasn't completely devoid of his own ideas, and when he saw that Smith wasn't defending, he took Nowitzki down to rest, and the latter couldn't hold on to playing until the end.

Took up Meijerry.

This is another inspirational player, who was undrafted in '08 and remained undrafted for three or four years until the 201415 season, when Salah Mejeri completed the treble with Real Madrid Basketball Club, which was the first time in 41 years that Real Madrid Basketball Club won the league, Copa del Rey and Europa League in the same season.

Champions are a player's best value bonus.

It was also after such an astonishing achievement at Real Madrid that Mejri, who was a substitute for Philippe Reyes and Gustavo Ayon, was naturally favored by many team scouts.

Because this guy's average playing time is limited to 92 minutes per game, he still averages 43 points and 21 rebounds per game in the league, and 5 points and 25 rebounds per game in the Champions League, which is about 161 points and 73 rebounds if converted to 30 minutes.

If such a result is there, even if it is discounted, it is still the existence of 12 points and 5 boards, and a substitute rotation is definitely enough!

Eventually, the Mavericks signed him.

Because of his efficiency, but also because of his defensive ability.

This is not Li Ming's continuous goals, and the head coach of the Mavericks immediately thought of him and arranged him in the starting position.
