November 17, 2010, New Orleans, Smoothie King Center. Two days after the Dallas game, the Mavericks and Hornets met again after switching home and away.

Facing the same opponent in two consecutive games during the regular season is not unique in the NBA. But it's not often to say that both sides are currently the two best teams in the league.

There was only one day between the two games, and it was still a home-and-away system. Such a dense arrangement of the arena made Yiyang, a young rookie, feel a little tired, not to mention the other old guys in the Mavericks.

This "battle for revenge" in New Orleans, like the one in Dallas, was fought very anxiously.

In the final 20 seconds of the game, the score of the two sides was 97-97, and the score was still unequaled.

Although Yiyang won the championship by killing in the NCAA, after entering the NBA, he also gave a stunner against the Celtics. But at this time, Carlisle undoubtedly chose to hit Nowitzki with the ball. After all, the German did have a greater certainty in killing the game.

Nowitzki was in excellent form today, facing David Brown. West and Jason. Smith's hand-to-hand fight, he still shot 11-of-19 and scored a game-high 29 points. Carlisle's final attack was laid out on Nowitzki, and it made perfect sense.

Yiyang steadied the ball under Paul's close pressing, and a ground-hitting pass allowed Yiyang to complete his task. Now, Nowitzki has become the key to the outcome of the match.

The physically demanding "German tank" did not intend to end the game with a turnaround jumper, and he was also worried that his breathing was now short, and he would lose his rhythm when shooting.

So the Germans suddenly leaned on West and turned around, intending to kill everything with a breakthrough that slipped the bottom line!

David. West didn't expect Nowitzki to come to this hand at all, he just subconsciously poked his arm out. However, unintentionally inserted willows and willows, West actually hit the right one, and just slapped the basketball in Nowitzki's hand!

"A steal! Dirk's turnaround breakthrough was ruined by West!" TNT's famous commentator Kevin Brown. Harlan used his magnetic voice to convey the tense atmosphere of the stadium to the fans' living room.

West immediately hugged the basketball and threw it straight forward. Over there, Chris. Paul was already on the road to fight back.

Seeing this situation, Yiyang chased after him. But Paul's speed is not vegetarian, and it must be very difficult for Yiyang to stick it.

Eventually, Paul unloaded the long pass from West. Then, before the red light on the rebound, take off easily and make a layup.

Yiyang, who was following closely behind, jumped high and waved his arm vigorously. But helplessly, the basketball still fell into the net first.

At the end of the game, 97-99, the New Orleans Hornets and their "Queen Bee" successfully completed their revenge at the Smoothie King Center.

The Hornets fans at the scene couldn't have been more excited, this lore was of great significance, with a strong sense of revenge in it. What could be more enjoyable than successful revenge?

Chris. Paul yelled fiercely at the stands on the sidelines, and at this moment, he vented all the grievances of two days ago.

Nowitzki, on the other hand, hung his head and kept apologizing to his teammates. Everyone worked hard all night, but in the end, they buried everything because of their mistakes.

In fact, no one on the Mavericks team blames Dirk. The German was undoubtedly the best Mavericks player on the court today, and when it comes to contributing, he should be the one who contributed the most.

There's just no way, the Hornets were so lucky today, and their overall shooting percentage was too high. Monty. Williams fielded a total of nine players today, seven of whom shot above 50 percent and eight shot above 45 percent.

The Hornets, who lost aggrievedly two days ago, can be said to play at a super level today, and the tired Mavericks have to accept the fact of defeat on the road.

Yiyang, who decided the outcome with his impact in the last game, only scored 13 points and 7 assists in the face of Paul's mad dog-like defense and spicy little moves today. Although for a rookie, Yiyang's performance is already very good. But there is no doubt that the fans were expecting Yiyang to perform better.

When Rick. When Carlisle pushed the door open and walked into the dressing room, he found it eerily quiet today. Even Terry, who has always been giggling, didn't joke with Yiyang today.

This group of guys is really tired. The Hornets fought back frantically, dragging them all to a halt.

But the intensive schedule of the NBA regular season will not wait for the Mavericks to recover.

This side has just lost the game, and the Mavericks guys have to rush back to Dallas overnight. Tomorrow they can't rest, they have to continue to prepare. The day after tomorrow, they will have to face the Chicago Bulls at home.

On the plane, everyone slept soundly. After Yiyang sent a text message to his mother before boarding, he also closed his eyes tiredly. There will always be a time when a team has a very dense schedule. It's just that the Mavericks' busy time came too early.

The next day, the quality of the players' training was so bad that Rick. Carlisle was worried. Except for Yiyang, who is the most physically fit, and Nowitzki, the leader of the team, the rest of the Mavericks seem to have lost their rhythm. Even in confrontational training, their performance was a mess.

After all, this group of guys just landed in Dallas in the early hours of yesterday morning. This afternoon, we will immediately plunge into intense preparations. But there is no way, Carlisle must use all the time to prepare for the next game. That's the NBA, that's the price you have to pay to be a professional player.

On the third day, the gimmick of the duel between Yiyang and Ross has been hyped up. Various TV stations even analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the two players and the measures needed to win before the game.

But neither Ross nor Yiyang was too interested in this hype, and first, Ross didn't think that Yiyang would be his opponent. Second, Yiyang also knows that he is not the only key to deciding the outcome of the game at all. The most important thing today was whether his teammates could get back into shape.

It's a pity that beautiful stories usually only exist in fairy tales. Today, the Mavericks played what was perhaps their worst game of the season at home.

Throughout the game, Rose used his powerful impact to cut down 22 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds in all-around statistics. And Yiyang, against the already famous 08-year champion, also handed over a report card of 15 points, 8 assists and 3 steals.

Although from the data point of view, Yiyang is far less good than Ross. But in terms of performance on the field, Yiyang's performance is by no means bad. It's a pity that in the entire Mavericks team, except for Yiyang's 15 points, only Nowitzki scored a double-double.

Marion shot 3-of-10, Kidd shot 1-of-5, and "Jet" Terry got several great passes from Yiyang today, but only hit 3-of-15, an ultra-low shooting percentage of just 12%.

With such a performance by the Mavericks, they naturally couldn't stop the iron hooves of the red bulls. 90-85, this Texas powerhouse also suffered their first consecutive defeat this season!

After the game, Nowitzki, who scored 36 points but still lost the game, was naturally in a bad mood. He declined everyone's requests for interviews and headed straight for the players' tunnel.

And Yiyang was also perfunctory in the interview, and sent the reporters away with a few simple words.

The loss of two games in a row has already demoralized the Mavericks. But the worst thing is that the Mavericks, who lost the game today, still don't get a respite. They had to fly non-stop to Detroit, 1,902 kilometers away, because 24 hours later, the tired and demoralized Mavericks had to play back-to-back games against the Pistons.

Many experts believe that the Mavericks, who were strong at the beginning of the season, are starting to usher in a downturn. Losing three in a row is going to happen to the Mavericks.

Looking at his tired teammates and Nowitzki, whose eyes were full of unwillingness, Yiyang couldn't help but clench his fists.

What about rookies? Why, I can only go to victory under the guidance of others!? I'll try it too! Lead the team out of the woods like you did with the Bulldogs! Yiyang has never been afraid of shouldering heavy responsibilities, but afraid that he will not be able to help the team.

The Mavericks undoubtedly suffered the biggest blow of the season, dragging their exhausted bodies, and the Mavericks got on the plane again and ran to another battlefield.

Three defeats in a row? The boy who is used to winning will not let this bad news come true!
