He won 11 in a row in January and survived two back-to-back battles. The tenacious quality of the Mavericks has disgraced countless so-called "experts".

The predicted low tide didn't come, and the Mavericks had a nice high in January.

With a 47-4 record, the Mavericks' proud record has also made people discuss the possibility of the Mavericks breaking the Bulls' 72-win record.

"It's not possible, because none of the Mavericks can match Michael. Jordan compared to the players. ”

"Of course it's possible, if the Mavericks continue to play with this momentum, let alone a draw, there is hope for breaking the record!"

"The record of 72 wins in a single season is a record that is hardly possible in NBA history that can be broken. I'll admit that the Mavericks are very close this season, but only close. ”

"In 51 games, the Mavericks have only lost four. If even such a team can't be broken, then who can? ”

Regarding this matter, the major media are also arguing. The 72-win record set by Jordan and the Bulls that year is indeed legendary. Losing just 10 games in 82 regular season games, you need to be strong and in good form for a whole season.

However, in those days, it was probably only Jordan and his teammates who could do it. Their achievements have proven to be unrivaled to this day. To break the record set by the Bulls is indeed a bit incredible.

But in addition to the Mavericks' impressive record in January, there was another thing that made Dallas Mavericks fans cheer.

On January 30, the NBA officially announced the starting list for the 2015 New York All-Star Game, which defeated Paul last year. This year, Yiyang defeated Curry as the ticket king and once again served as the starting point guard of the Western Stars in the NBA All-Star Game.

This season's Warriors and Curry can be said to have subverted everyone's perception of basketball. The Mavericks' 47-4 record is terrifying, but the Warriors' 37-8 record is also not to be underestimated!

If it weren't for the Mavericks, the Warriors would have been the brightest team in the league this season!

Curry also had the second highest vote rate in the NBA All-Star vote this year, and if it weren't for Yiyang, Curry would have become the vote king.

No way, the degree of shock that Curry has brought to the league this season is no less than Yiyang. Averaging 44.3% three-point shooting per game, Curry and the Warriors have completely pioneered a game that relies on three-point shooting to win games, an unprecedented style of play.

In the past, it was said that shooting alone would not kill the game. But the Warriors' impressive 37-8 record has made that statement history.

Just by shooting, you can really shoot you to death!

However, because Yiyang and the Mavericks have a better record, and Yiyang's ability to control the game is significantly better than Curry, Yiyang still retains his position as the ticket king.

And Yiyang is also the third player in the NBA in the past 20 years to be elected as the All-Star vote champion for two consecutive years.

It is worth mentioning that the Mavericks have two of the three people who have been voted All-Star Game champions for two consecutive years. After all, the first person to be able to win the title of vote for a second time was Vince. Carter!

And Yao Ming, another who can become the All-Star ticket king for two consecutive years, is from the same country as Yiyang.

The three kings of the ticket kings all have a broken relationship, which can't help but make people sigh, and the coincidences in reality are sometimes more dramatic.

"No, it's not a legacy, let's be honest. Yi's achievements have surpassed me, elected as the king of votes, he is more qualified than before but me! ”

Naturally, reporters also interviewed the two new and old vote kings, and Carter was very humble about Yiyang's election as the vote king for two consecutive years.

Yiyang is naturally not arrogant, he also said in response to reporters that if it were not for his teammates and coaches, he would not have achieved today.

In short, with 11 consecutive wins in January and being elected as the All-Star vote king for two consecutive years, Yiyang has once again become the hottest player in the league, and there is no one.

Every day about Yiyang's news, you just click on a random web page and there are a lot of them. In China, Yiyang's popularity has far surpassed that of Yao Ming back then.

This season, both James, who has a poor record, and Durant, who is reimbursing for the season, have been overshadowed. The entire alliance is the world of Yiyang and Curry. And Curry is also considered to be the only star in the league who can compete with Yiyang.

And at this moment, an accident happened, but the two most powerful stars in the league were linked together.

On February 2, after the Mavericks once again thrashed the Timberwolves at home to win 12 straight games, the NBA officially announced the list of participants in this season's All-Star Three-Point Challenge.

Among them, Curry and Thompson are impressively listed. In fact, this isn't the first time the two have competed in the All-Star Three-Point Contest. However, due to the extremely hot season of the Warriors, the performance of the "Splash Brothers" in the three-point contest has attracted much attention.

But no matter how lively the three-point competition is, it has nothing to do with Yiyang. Since winning a dunk king, Yiyang basically has no interest in playing these individual competitions.

Every year during the All-Star Weekend, paddling in the main competition is Yiyang's only goal. The intensive regular season has exhausted him, and he finally has a weekend, and Yiyang doesn't want to be so tired desperately.

But what happened in the next two games changed all that.

On February 3, 2015, the San Antonio Spurs hosted the Orlando Magic away. This season, the Spurs have been completely overshadowed by the Mavericks and Warriors, but they are still a powerhouse in the West. In the face of an opponent like Magic, it is natural that there will be no gutter overturning.

But unexpectedly, Spurs' Italian shooter Marco. Belinelli suffered a shoulder injury during the game, and after the game, the Spurs team doctor and Belinelli himself announced at the same time that they would withdraw from this year's All-Star Three-Point Contest due to injury.

As soon as this news came out, the alliance was like an ant on a hot pan. Having someone absent less than a week before the start of the All-Star Game was the biggest headache.

Now, the league must find someone who has enough weight and can shoot three-pointers to take Belinelli's place within a week.

On the Internet, Yiyang has undoubtedly become the most popular candidate.

"I'd love to see the Splash Brothers in the three-point contest!"

"If I can also play the three-point contest, I will sell out the tickets!"

"Also against Stephen in the three-point contest? Oh, that must be the best three-point contest in NBA history! ”

Fans are all looking forward to the matchup between Yiyang and Curry, and seeing that the fans are so big, the league did send an invitation to Yiyang.

However, in an interview with reporters, Yiyang's answer disappointed the fans.

"Three-point contest? No, I have no plans to participate in the three-point contest at this time. ”

Although Yiyang's three-point shooting rate this season is also a good 38.9%, he is not a "shooter". Rather than shooting from a distance, Yiyang prefers to use passes and breakthroughs to solve problems.

Therefore, Yiyang never thought about such a thing as a three-point contest.

Now, his mind is full of how to take out the Warriors in tomorrow's game!

That's right, on February 4, 2015, the Dallas Mavericks played the Golden State Warriors for the second time this season.

The images of the first meeting between the two sides this season are still fresh in the memory of fans. In that game, Yiyang controlled the situation with a performance of 30 points and 12 assists, and allowed Curry to shoot only 27% of his three-point shots.

Since then, fans have been looking forward to a second meeting between the two sides. Also looking forward to this game is Curry, who is desperate to make a name for himself.

In the MVP rankings, he is second, second only to Yiyang. In terms of the number of All-Star votes, he is second, second only to Yiyang. In terms of record, the Warriors are second only to Yiyang's Mavericks.

Second, second, second...... Curry is tired of being pressed under Yiyang, so in this game, Curry's performance can be described as unprecedentedly good.

The game had barely finished the first quarter, and everyone on the Mavericks was stunned. The Warriors scored 42 points in a single quarter with a 65.5% shooting rate!

Their endless firepower from beyond the three-point line engulfed the Mavericks' defense entirely.

"With an incredible shooting percentage, the Golden State Warriors are bound to complete their revenge at home today!" Experienced Mike. Brin was scared silly, is this a warrior with all the firepower?

The Warriors seem to be a team that creates crazy things, with Thompson's 37 points in the third quarter some time ago, and Curry in the third quarter today.

Curry made all five of his first five shots in the quarter, and the Warriors continued to consolidate their advantage under his leadership. In fact, the Mavericks' offense in this quarter was also very smooth under the leadership of Yiyang, but Curry was too crazy, he shot 8 of 11 in this quarter, including 6 of 7 three-pointers, and scored 26 points on Yiyang's head! Yiyang's defense is not out of position, the madness is crazy, and Curry can score consecutive goals in the midst of interference!

After three quarters, Curry had made nine three-pointers to score 41 points, a new high for him this season and the eighth game of his career to score 40+ points.

"Crazy crazy, Stephen is completely crazy! He's been crazy before, but trust me, none of them were as crazy as they were today! ”

"Being suppressed for a long time has made Stephen unbearable. He has long said that the Warriors will do their best today. I just didn't expect them to do such a great job! ”

Yiyang also gritted his teeth, Curry is Curry, and he is worthy of being the only star in the league who can fight against him. This guy can still play like this under his own tight defense, even Yiyang feels incredible.

In the final quarter of the game, the high-spirited Warriors started 7-0 as soon as they came up, but the Mavericks did not collapse, and with 4 minutes and 24 seconds left in the game, Nowitzki played 2+1 to chase the score to 109-114! While marveling at the Warriors' terrifying firepower, people also admired the resilience of the Mavericks. The average team might have given up after scoring 42 points in the first quarter. But the calf was stunned to take the lead under the leadership of Yiyang!

Curry stepped up again at the critical moment, and after he assisted Iguodala to score, he scored seven points on consecutive free throws. Yiyang can't prevent him today, he really can't prevent him. Sealing his face and entering, Yiyang has no way.

With 1:14 left in the game, the Warriors regained a double-digit advantage at 125-113. Carlisle shook his head, the Warriors are in such good shape today, maybe they won't be in such incredible form for the next five years. In today's game, there is no need for the Mavericks to waste any more energy. Because even God is on the side of the Warriors today.

So the Mavericks replaced all the main forces and officially announced that they would give up the game. After that, Curry hit another three-pointer to finally lead the Warriors to defeat the Mavericks 128-114 and successfully take revenge!

Yiyang recorded a big double-double of 35 points and 13 assists today, which is better than the last time the two sides met, and it can be said that he did his best. But Curry's 51 points in a single game and his terrifying three-point shooting rate on 10-of-16 shooting overshadowed Yiyang.

Curry scored 51 points in this game, which was the first time in his career that he scored 40+ points at home, setting a new personal record for scoring at home. Curry, meanwhile, made 10 three-pointers in the game, a season-high and the most three-pointers a player has ever made in a game. The Warriors have scored over 100 points in 19 consecutive games, the longest franchise record since 2008. The Splash Brothers have all scored 50+ points this season, and this is the seventh time in history that at least two teammates have scored 50+ points in the same season.......

The Warriors' big wins set one record after another, and Curry finally suppressed Yiyang once on the frontal battlefield!

In this regard, Yiyang is naturally very unwilling to lose! He really wishes he was playing the playoffs with the Warriors right now, so that he could get revenge on Curry right away.

But there is no way, if you lose this time, it may be a long, long time before Yiyang's evil anger can be vented.

However, when he was about to be interviewed by reporters, Yiyang had an idea. Right now, there's a chance to fight Curry again! Although that "game" is different from the real game. But at the very least, it's better than not being able to do anything and just swallowing your anger and losing.

"Mr. Yi, what do you think of Stephen today. What about Curry's 10 three-pointers!? At the press conference, Curry became the most concerned topic for reporters.

"I'm going to compete in this year's All-Star Three-Point Contest."

"Huh?" After listening to Yiyang's seemingly irrelevant answer, the reporters were stunned.

"I'm going to participate in this year's All-Star Three-Point Contest!" Yiyang reiterated and clenched his fists.

Stephen, the competition between the two of us is not over yet!
