Chapter 856: Arrogant Capital

When Yiyang shook off Horford with a European step layup and scored, there was a dead silence on the Celtics' bench.

"The 38th point, great, he didn't save face for his college coach at all!"

38 points, Yiyang with Kelly. Irving's approach helped the Mavericks dominate the offensive end. And then in his own way, Irving almost collapsed on the offensive end.

After Yiyang scored, his teammates came up to high-five him. Meanwhile, Stevens called a timeout again. With three minutes left in the game, the Celtics are officially 20 points behind. In the face of the Mavericks' firepower, which will hardly weaken, the Green Shirts lost the fourth quarter of the game and have now been beaten to the ground.

Stevens' timeout seemed to people to be nothing more than a death throe.

After returning from the pause, Carlisle did not replace all the main players for the sake of safety, but replaced Yiyang. To put it bluntly, Carlisle still thinks that the game can be won, but it is just that some of the main players are left to add a set of safety locks to the victory. This half-main and semi-bench mix will doom the Celtics to not complete the miracle of a 20-point comeback in the final three minutes.

"It's over, it's over. I knew there were three minutes left in the game, but it was all over. Otherwise, Coach Carlisle would not have been able to take Yiyang down. 20 points, do you see? The Boston Celtics, who have won 15 consecutive victories recently, have lost so badly! After the start of the second half, the number of individual attacks was also increased. As a result, the Celtics didn't slow down any longer. Using star players to finish the second half is a common trick used by the Celtics. I don't know what it was like for Stevens to be defeated by his own tactics. ”

Follow Kenny. Smith's narration, the lens of the live camera is focused on Stevens. The smiling young coach had empty eyes and a blank face. It seemed that the night was quite a torment for Stevens.

Two minutes later, the Celtics' assistant coach got up from the bench and pulled all five starters. This means that the Green Shirts have completely abandoned this game. The 15-game winning streak was snapped, and their hopes of breaking the longest winning streak in franchise history of 19 were dashed.

In Boston, countless fans wailed at home. The Celtics got off to a great start, but in the end, they were still inferior to the Blue Storm in the West.

"118 to 100, the score faithfully reflects the situation on the field. The Celtics should be thankful that they won't run into the Mavericks early in the playoffs. In front of the Mavericks, even the Green Shirts, who have won 15 in a row, are helpless! ”

"The reason the Mavericks were able to win this game was simple, and that was to do what they were supposed to do with Kelly. Dominating the offense in the second half and ending the game once and for all is the secret of the Celtics' 15-game winning streak. But today, Kelly clearly ran into a bad opponent. ”

After the game, people were complaining about Irving, but in fact, it was Jay who defended Yiyang in this game. Brown.

Jay. Brown had never experienced such a big frustration, it was clear that he had done his best to defend, and it was clear that his physical condition was so much better than Yiyang. But that Chinese, he was able to put the ball in that damn basket!

Brown was still too young, and what happened to him today was not unique. Yiyang, it has long been a nightmare for all defensive experts in the league.

He was like a plague, and people did everything they could to stop him. But his spread has killed half of the teams in the league!

"Coach Stevens, will being on a winning streak by the Mavericks on the road have an impact on your team's morale?"

"Kelly, can you comment on how you and Yi did today?"

"Jay. Brown, what are you thinking about when you're defending? Are you nervous? ”

After the game, the reporters were quite active. As thought before the game began, whoever wins or loses, whether a 15-game winning streak is terminated or a 16-game winning streak is explosive news for the league.

There was always a record that had to be interrupted, but alas, the Celtics were very unfortunate today.

The Celtics players and coaches were chased by reporters to ask embarrassing questions, and of course, there was no shortage of reporters around the Mavericks players.

At the Mavericks' post-game press conference, the media reception room was packed. Not to mention sitting, Yiyang even felt that he couldn't stand up at the scene.

17 consecutive wins, and still a victory over a weighty opponent. Presumably, these reporters must have a stomach full of questions that they want to throw to Yiyang.

"Also, against a strong Celtic team, we can see that you and your teammates are almost at the best in every way. You've got team offense, you've got individual singles, you've got tough defense, and you look like you're at ease. How do you rate yourself and your team? If you had to rate it, how would you rate the Mavericks for a few days? ”

The first reporter to ask a question was a very interesting question. If you rate it high, people will say that you think very highly of yourself. If you play low, people will say that Yiyang is dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates.

These suave-looking reporters in suits and leather shoes are digging holes for the players everywhere.

But Yiyang has always been an old man, and he doesn't eat this.

"Scoring is ridiculous for basketball, and players are scored after every football game, but have you ever seen a basketball game with this rule? So, I can't rate my team and my teammates. But if I had to evaluate, I can only say that today's Dallas Mavericks are almost our final form. ”

Although Yiyang did not score, he still surprised the reporters below. The final form? Does it mean that before this, the Dallas Mavericks have not played their true strength?

※※※

'I'll admit he's a great player, but overconfidence will hurt him sooner or later.

"The end up form is nonsense because you can't do it all season."

"It's a great start to a 17-game winning streak. But even then, the season has only just begun. The Mavericks may have played a great game, but that doesn't mean they can keep doing it that way! ”

The next day, Yiyang was really pushed to the forefront by his remarks. In fact, no matter what he says, it will have such an effect. Who made this guy the most high-profile star in the league right now? Around the stars, there is never a shortage of criticism.

Under the hype of the media, Yiyang has almost become a megalomaniac. Now, fans of the other 29 teams across the league are hoping that the Mavericks can lose and are waiting to see Yiyang's joke.

Didn't you say you were in your ultimate form? Don't let us get caught! The Mavericks have five games left to play in October, and the five opponents are the Grizzlies, Thunder, Spurs, Timberwolves and Nets. The Grizzlies and Nets certainly can't crush the Mavericks, after all, both teams are going for the lottery. So the Spurs, Timberwolves and Thunder are expected to be high.

The "heavy responsibility" of interrupting the Mavericks' winning streak on behalf of the league fell to these three teams.

Overnight, the Spurs, Timberwolves and Thunder pair instantly popped up with a bunch of new "fans". They came up with countless "corroborations" that the Mavericks were bound to fail, and it seemed that the Mavericks' defeat was a foregone conclusion.

And the game between the Mavericks and the Grizzlies on November 22 made fans of other teams cheer.

In this game, the Memphis Grizzlies, who were already in the process of rebuilding, undoubtedly lost the game, but no one thought about the final score difference of the game. 95 to 94, the Mavericks, who killed all the invincible opponents in the world, only won by 1 point against the Grizzlies!

If it weren't for Yiyang's last-minute baseline mid-shot game, the Mavericks' 17-game winning streak might have been interrupted!

The fact that this game was played so anxiously is not how good the Grizzlies played. Grizzlies star Mark Brown. Gasol scored just 14 points and shot a miserable 33 percent from the field. The Grizzlies' top scorer was their sixth man, Tyreck. Evans, Evans, a man who is "a rookie and at the peak", has a bit of a comeback this season, and he also scored 18 points in this game. But overall, the Grizzlies didn't play well.

The performance of the Dalath Mavericks was even more disastrous, except for Yiyang, who scored 33 points and added a lore, everyone else seemed to have lost their souls. Mitchell scored 17 points but shot just 35 percent from the field. Nowitzki had 13 points and shot just 40 percent from the field.

Although they still won the game after all, the Mavericks' form seems to have paved the way for their next game loss.

Just one day after the loss to the Grizzlies, the Mavericks players welcomed their first opponent, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who could end their winning streak.

Before this game began, almost everyone was more bullish on the Thunder. Although the Thunder had lost to the Mavericks, in the game on the 22nd, the Mavericks, who were in poor form, were almost wiped out by the Grizzlies, while the Oklahoma City Thunder were in great shape, beating the Warriors by 17 points!

No matter how you look at it, the calf is dead. As long as the Thunder can show the state of the Warriors, Yiyang will never be crazy anymore!

But the actual situation is far from what the fans and the media imagined.

In this game, the Mavericks regained their former bravery, while the Thunder seemed to be infected by the Mavericks. The Thunder, who have a big three, only Westbrook scored 20 points, and Anthony scored only 16 points. And the two of them are the only two players in the Thunder team who scored double-doubles in this game.

Paul. George? George struggled very much in the mid-range today, he took a full 12 shots and only scored 2 points in the whole game! Since they were all mid-range shots, there were no chances to make a kill, so George didn't even make a single free throw today. With a 12-of-1 hit rate of 8.3 percent, these numbers look staggering.

"This is probably the worst game of a career in George!" After the game, even Mike. Brin commented.

George's performance is just a microcosm of the Thunder, who scored only 81 points in the game, which is almost incredible in this era of high overs and high scoring.

101-81, the Thunder failed to block the attack, and the Mavericks started with 19 consecutive wins!

The Thunder, the first to lose, lost first, and the pressure instantly fell on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

On December 25, the Timberwolves, who had rested for three days, faced the Mavericks, who were still playing on the road in back-to-backs.

"If you can't win that, the Timberwolves can hand the ball to the referees and go home!" Before the game began, the Minnesota local commentator was incredibly confident.

Back-to-back away games are a huge drain on a team, and the Mavericks can't play well with such a huge attrition. As long as you keep putting pressure on them, they will be crushed sooner or later.

But after the game began, the Mavericks' tough defense made the target center silent.

Wiggins is still playing tepidly, and he doesn't seem to have much of a quest for the word "win." Towns worked hard to score, but he struggled to get too good numbers against Gobert. Jimmy. Butler scored 23 points, which was not bad, but this level of scoring was clearly not enough.

On the other hand, Mavericks, Yiyang only scored 22 points today, but handed out 18 assists! The Mavericks scored double-doubles with 7 players, and Thibodeau's defensive wall was completely crushed!

111-87, back-to-back away, the Mavericks still won big. 20 wins in a row! At this time, few people dared to stand up and say that Yiyang was arrogant. He may be arrogant, but he is not arrogant. Because, he has this arrogant capital!

The Mavericks have such momentum, unless they make mistakes. Otherwise, no one can defeat them.

As expected, the Spurs without Leonard and the Nets with nothing directly have become Yiyang's "feast on the plate". After the win over the Nets, the Mavericks started the game with a 22-game winning streak.

This result is only two games away from the league's best start record of 24 consecutive wins set by the Warriors in the 15-16 season! And that's one more than the season when the Mavericks won 74. That season, the Mavericks started with a 21-game winning streak! Throughout October and November, the Mavericks created the myth of a two-month undefeated start of the season!

"I'm sorry that our victory must have disappointed many people." Standing on the sidelines facing the reporter's camera, Yiyang's smile could not show that he had the slightest regret.
