Chapter 715: It's all well set off by peers

"It's been a hard month for everybody, very hard. We played several back-to-backs and it was a very tough thing. But we survived and we're still the best team in the league! Here, I would like to thank the media and experts who said that we are about to go through a low point. Without your stupid rhetoric, our 11-game winning streak wouldn't be so great! ”

In the media reception room of the Amway Center, the home of the Magic team, Yiyang sincerely "thanked" the media experts.

The media reporters in the audience all smiled awkwardly, but Yiyang smiled very brightly.

It's been so fucking enjoyable throughout January!

※※※

Back in time to January 7th, Shervin. Mark's quick addition has greatly improved the Mavericks' bench strength. With him on the Mavericks, Carlisle's rotation can also be more flexible.

This game against the Pistons has allowed Mark to fully integrate into the team. Mark, who has been running between multiple teams, has long become a jack-of-all-trades character. Just give it a chance, and this guy will show it.

After the game, people were full of praise for Cuban's operation. But 24 hours ago, almost no one was optimistic about the signing. It took Mark just one night to silence all the media.

"What a wonderful night!" After the game, facing the microphones of the reporters, Shervin. Mark smiled in his own way.

Although Mark's joining cost Cuban only a few hundred thousand dollars, it was worth the money. As it turns out, the Mavericks' record has also become more stable because of the appearance of a small person.

So, for the entire month of January, the Mavericks lost only one game in total!

After a two-day break after the win over the Pistons, the Mavericks flew to Los Angeles on Jan. 10 to take on the Clippers.

The Los Angeles Clippers are undoubtedly one of the Mavericks' sworn enemies, and every time the Clippers meet the Mavericks in the playoffs, they are destined to have nothing good to eat.

Chris. Paul and Yiyang, Griffin and Dirk, the duel between these two groups will spark every time.

It is precisely because of this relationship that the Clippers are very energetic every time they play the Mavericks. Today was no exception, with Paul and Griffin even pushing the level of rivalry to playoff level!

Griffin was a great performer today, with a 73.3% shooting percentage that was the highest in the history of his game against the Mavericks!

Today's Griffin is unstoppable, and on the inside, Griffin has some low-post skills, and is no longer just a hard hit.

At middle distance, Griffin also has a better head. Paired with Paul's delicate passing, Griffin was a perfect scoring machine today.

It is worth mentioning that Griffin's playmaking skills on the field are surprising. LeBron. It's not uncommon for James to be able to organize offense. But Blake. Griffin, a "stupid big man", can also organize an attack, which makes Yiyang feel a little incredible.

You have to admit that Griffin's passing and ball control ability is indeed quite good in the fourth position. There were even a couple of occasions today with Griffin himself in possession of the ball across the half-court

So, Griffin put in a nearly triple-double today. With 22 points, 6 assists and 7 rebounds on 11-of-15 shooting, Blake Brown has been shooting for 11 of all these years. Griffin: He finally stepped out of Nowitzki's shadows.

Under the guidance of Griffin and Paul, everyone on the Clippers played extremely efficiently. Six players in the team scored in double figures, and five of them shot more than 45 percent from the field. With such high efficiency, it was not easy for the Clippers to lose today.

On the Mavericks' side, the players are actually playing normally. Unfortunately, the Clippers were too supernatural today, so they had to swallow the defeat by five points in the end.

115 to 120, Yiyang had 29 points, 11 assists and 4 rebounds, but he still couldn't stop the crazy Clippers.

The Clippers ended the Mavericks' nine-game winning streak and became the fourth team in the league to beat the Mavericks this season.

After the game, Paul and Griffin hugged and roared as if they had won the O'Brien Cup.

For the Mavericks, it might just be an ordinary regular season game. But for the Clippers, being able to beat the Mavericks means too much to them.

Just won against the Pistons and lost to the Clippers, and the Mavericks were instantly pushed to the forefront. During the start of the Mavericks' 22-game winning streak, many experts predicted that the Mavericks would have a low ebb in January.

According to their analysis, the Mavericks players will be very tired during this time, and injuries will start to erupt.

The Mavericks' five-game winning streak in January at the beginning also made these pundits nervous for a while. But now after losing to the Clippers, there is no doubt that his statement has been "fulfilled".

But it's a pity that the calf led by Yiyang has never been the kind of "good boy" who will obediently cooperate with the media.

"Low tide? We played 40 games and only lost four of them. In this way, anyone else dares to say that we have entered a low ebb? Haha, wait, time will tell who is the Joker. ”

Yiyang's response to the "experts" from reporters after the game was very tough, but he also received a lot of criticism. Some people think that Yiyang is just a dead duck with a hard mouth.

However, no one could have imagined. The loss to the Clippers on January 10 was really the only game the Mavericks lost in January!

Since then, the Dallas Mavericks have continued to wreak havoc!

Jan. 13 against the Kings, and two consecutive games against the Nuggets on the 14th and 16th. Against these two teams outside the top eight in the West, the Mavericks did not encounter any resistance and easily won three in a row.

It is worth mentioning that in that match on the 16th, Nowitzki suffered ankle discomfort after the game and needed to rest for five days.

Injuries caused by this kind of exhaustion inevitably occur every season, and Carlisle has no good solution.

And the experts who predicted that the Mavericks would fall into a trough cheered, and now, it was time for the Mavericks to fall!

You big-headed ghost!

On January 19, Yiyang led the Mavericks who were missing Dirk and Barria on an expedition to Memphis. Before the game, the media was overwhelmingly confident that the Grizzlies would be able to defeat the Mavericks with an incomplete roster.

As a result, Yiyang and Wade combined to score 55 points, which made the Grizzlies' defense scattered. Aminu, who started in place of Dirk, also performed well, shooting 4-of-7 from three-point range and scoring 16 points!

Plus Shervin. With 12 points from Mark's bench, the Grizzlies simply couldn't resist such firepower. Everyone on the Mavericks roster is starting to make a difference, and that's why Carlisle and Cuban brought them in the first place.

Every player on the Mavericks team is carefully selected to be the most suitable for the team. When the team needs them, they absolutely can't do it!

103-95, the Mavericks topped the Grizzlies away and won four consecutive victories.

"Keep pushing, we're almost failing!" In the face of the ill-intentioned reporters in Memphis, Yiyang smiled very brightly.

The next three teams, the Timberwolves, Bulls and Pelicans, the Mavericks also went all the way, winning three games in a row, bringing the winning streak to seven.

Among them, the Timberwolves were completely slaughtered. In the Bulls game, although Rose scored 20 points, the returning Dirk used a 66% shooting rate and a 24-point performance to team up with Yiyang to destroy the former Windy City Rose again.

The Pelicans' game, "Bushy Eyebrows" Anthony. Davis caused a lot of trouble for the Mavericks. With 28 points and 10 rebounds, Nowitzki had nothing to do with this young man.

Maybe in the future, the Pelicans and Davis will become the old enemies of Yiyang and the Mavericks. But now, they are not threatening enough.

In the case that Dirk was suppressed by Davis and Wade did not play his form. Yiyang, an outside player, scored 36 points with a shooting rate of 60%, which is 16 percentage points higher than Davis, telling Davis what a real super scorer is.

With 36 points and 8 assists, the Mavericks narrowly defeated the Pelicans 110-106 and continued their winning streak!

At this time, the experts began to panic.

As of the end of January, the Mavericks have four games left to play. If they continue to win these four games, isn't it the pundits themselves in the face?

I swore that the Mavericks would go through a low ebb, and as a result, they only lost one game a month. In this way, who will believe what they say in the future?

But to the good news of these "experts", the Mavericks' last four games in January were back-to-back. Moreover, two of these opponents are still very strong.

After the Mavericks hosted the "old friend" Grizzlies on January 27, they had to rush to Houston to fight the Rockets non-stop.

After two games and a day off, the Mavericks are going to the East to challenge the Heat and Magic on consecutive roads.

5 days, 4 games. Carlisle can now call the league office with a smile and scold, he doesn't know how many times he has encountered this kind of thing in 5 days and 4 games!

Everyone is waiting for the Mavericks to lose in a dense game, and it is not impossible for them to lose four games in a row with such a schedule. In this way, the reputation of those "experts" can be preserved. But the tenacity of the Mavericks is beyond anyone's imagination.

On January 27, the Mavericks and Grizzlies had a fierce fight. The Grizzlies' "black and white bears" on the inside played very aggressively, and the two opened their bows left and right, making the Mavericks' defense nearly collapse.

In addition to this, Contney. Lee's three consecutive three-pointers in the third quarter gave the Grizzlies a 12-point lead.

But in the fourth quarter, Yiyang stepped up when everyone else was exhausted. He single-handedly led a 12-0 offensive surge to tie the difference.

After that, the morale-boosting Mavericks took advantage of the victory to take a six-point lead with 30 seconds left and hold it until the end.

"It's impossible for a Mavericks like this to lose." After the game, Grizzlies coach Dave . Joggle shook his head. The Grizzlies did their best, but the Mavericks' resilience was just terrible.

This may be the difference between the defending champions and other teams.

But after being exhausted in the game against the Grizzlies, the Mavericks can't resist the back-to-back rockets anyway!

Although the Rockets are hurting Howard right now, Harden and Josh are enough for the Mavericks to have a good drink.

It turned out to be a really tough game. Wade and Dirk both played hard, and it was a bit overwhelming to experience such a high-intensity back-to-back with the two old guys in the middle of the season.

But the Rockets didn't take advantage of the whole game, because today, Yiyang scored a season-high 49 points!

The Rockets had to rejoice, glad they gave up in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. Otherwise, it is not impossible for Yiyang to break the career-high record of 60 points today.

Yiyang carried the whole court alone, letting Harden know the difference between himself and a top guard.

After all, Harden's 17 points today are simply insignificant in front of 49 points.

The Mavericks survived this grueling back-to-back schedule in incredible fashion, leaving everyone's pundit mouth wide open.

"The Dallas Mavericks are cursed by God that they can't afford to lose!" After the game, Mike. Brin's evaluation of the Mavericks has become one of the classic quotes in NBA history.

Even the western back-to-back survived, how could the eastern back-to-back be difficult to defeat Maverick and Yiyang?

The Heat and Magic didn't cause the Mavericks any problems, with two big wins giving the Mavericks an end to all of their January games.

Since losing to the Clippers on January 10, the Mavericks have stubbornly won 11 in a row!

In January, 17 games and 16 wins, the record became 47 wins and 4 losses! The Mavericks' "trough period" is really amazing!

"It's been a hard month for everybody, very hard. We played several back-to-backs and it was a very tough thing. But we survived and we're still the best team in the league! Here, I would like to thank the media and experts who said that we are about to go through a low point. Without your stupid rhetoric, our 11-game winning streak wouldn't be so great! ”

In the media reception room of the Amway Center, the home of the Magic team, Yiyang sincerely "thanks" the media experts.

It's just that in the face of MVP's gratitude, they can't laugh at all......
