The hard work of the summer always goes by quickly, and the NBA preseason is in full swing. As always, Carlisle's main purpose in pre-season is to experiment with the lineup. Due to the very large personnel changes in the Mavericks this season, Carlisle's starting lineup is different almost every game.

However, judging from the performance in the preseason, the lineup changes did not make the Mavericks have a bad run-in. Yiyang is a universal socket, as long as he is not too strange a player, he can generally integrate seamlessly into the Mavericks.

In the preseason, the Mavericks didn't win many games. Carlisle strives to get plenty of minutes for each player to experiment with the best line-up combinations.

Although they didn't win much, the performance of the three rookies of Moodier, Kuzma and Mitchell made the media shine. In the first game of the preseason, Mitchell scored 24 points and 3 rebounds. In the second game against the Philadelphia 76ers, Kuzma had 18 points and 6 rebounds, and almost succeeded in blocking Embiid, showing his explosiveness.

In the third game, Moodier had 17 points and 6 assists. In the game, Moodier's judgment on shot selection was much better than during the Nuggets period. And, playing in a championship team with an emphasis on teamwork, Moodier is also more willing to share the ball.

In three games, all three people put in performances. Yiyang was extremely pleased to see it off the field, and their efforts were not in vain in the past summer.

Despite this, there are still a lot of media outlets that don't buy the Mavericks' account.

"If the Mavericks are a rebuilding team, then I'd be happy for what they've done. But don't forget, the Dallas Mavericks are aiming for a championship. Could it be that Carlisle expects the intensity of the playoffs to be comparable to the intensity of the preseason? It is completely unknown what kind of performance these three rookies can perform in the playoffs! ”

"The performance of the three young players of the Mavericks is gratifying, but even that alone may still be difficult for them to compete with the Warriors, the Rockets, or even the Thunder, who make up their Big Three."

"The problem with the Mavericks is that they don't have enough star players, and it's hard for them to get a foothold in the West with Yihe and Hayward alone. You say Gobert is also a giant-type figure? In my opinion, he is half a giant at best. ”

Since the Warriors broke the Mavericks' dominance last season, the media has stopped fearing the erstwhile king. They can count the Mavericks endlessly, and the fans like to hear it anyway, after all, the Mavericks are still the enemy of the whole people. Second, the Mavericks' hope of winning the championship is indeed not great, and the media do not have to worry about slapping themselves in the face.

In the face of the media's decline, Kuzma, Mitchell and Moodier, the three young people, are extremely angry, shouting every day how to make these media look good.

If it was someone else, Yiyang might have calmed him down. But in the face of the anger of these three young people, Yiyang just let it develop.

This is the case with young people, and a moderate amount of anger can make them play unexpectedly. Look at the momentum of these three guys gearing up to blow up the whole league, this momentum, why bother interrupting?

Every time he sat on the sidelines and saw the crazy performances of the three young people, Yiyang couldn't help but want the fire of the regular season, and it immediately spread!

Finally, on October 17, the battle of the new season began again. In this year's opener, the league did not arrange the Mavericks, but arranged two games for the Celtics vs. the Cavaliers and the Rockets vs. Warriors.

The Celtics vs. the Cavaliers, the highlight is naturally the matchup between Irving and James. And the Rockets vs. the Warriors, the highlight is the confrontation between the Rockets and the defending champions after Paul.

What about the Dallas Mavericks? They weren't the team with the most action this summer, nor were they the team with the most superstars. So, for the first time in four years, the Dallas Mavericks missed the NBA opener. The so-called professional sports are so cruel.

No matter how brilliant you have been before, if you lose once, there is nothing left.

In the opening game, Yiyang didn't look at it much. Because his mind is full of things now, thinking about his own game, his own business.

Winning or losing the first game of the regular season may not have much impact on the season as a whole. In the 15-16 season, didn't the Mavericks just lose to the Golden State Warriors in the opening game? The result? As a result, the routine of that season was that the first and league championships still belonged to the Mavericks.

But this year is a special situation because there are three important young players in the game, so the first game has to be won to build their confidence.

Two of the three had never played in the NBA, and one began to be depressed at a young age. If you don't build confidence in the first game, it's hard to do it after that.

Maybe God also wants to help Yiyang, and the first opponent of the Mavericks this season is a perfect soft persimmon that is easy to pinch.

On October 18, the day after the start of the new NBA season, the Mavericks will finally welcome their opener opponent, the Atlanta Hawks.

A few years ago, no one would have dared to say that the Eagles were a weak team. You know, they also had a 60-win record and topped the East in the regular season. In the past, such a good name as "Eastern Spurs" was not called in vain.

In recent years, the Hawks have played well in the regular season, but they have often failed in the playoffs. The situation is very similar to the Clippers before it, and fans have dubbed it a "regular season team."

The so-called "regular season team" is a team that is like a fish in water in the regular season, but once it encounters a tough game in the playoffs, it will not be able to play.

After several years of failure, the Eagles management finally decided to tear down and rebuild. The star of the house, Paul. Millsap joined the Nuggets directly, Howard was traded to the Hornets, and outside firepower Tim. Hardaway went to the Knicks, and defensive big man Sefrosa left for Salt Lake City. The former meritorious players were sold out, and now there is no All-Star on the team, and it is completely a team that has been put together.

If there's one bright spot on the Eagles' roster, it's Dennis Brown, the German point guard who was drafted by the Hawks in 2013. Schroeder.

Schroder does seem to have some potential, but against Yiyang, Schroder is a little insufficient. Therefore, this game was once considered a game without suspense. As long as the Mavericks don't play out of shape, the Hawks have no chance of winning.

Even so, today's U.S. Route Center is still full. The first game of the new season, no die-hard Mavericks fan wants to miss it. The near-brand new Mavericks team has been eagerly awaited by fans for a whole summer, and it is natural that fans will finally make their official debut, which naturally makes fans extremely curious.

So even if it's just a regular season game, even if their opponents are very unpopular. But the current atmosphere is still exciting. Even sitting in the locker room, the soundproof locker room doors can't stop the fans from shouting in.

Carlisle stood in front of all the players, and everyone was extremely dignified. The academy coach could tell that they couldn't wait to get back what they had lost!

"There's not much to say about this game, the Atlanta Hawks are rushing to sign for the top pick. If you can't even win against such an opponent, you can hand over the basketball to the referee and go home yourself! Listen, I want more than just a win. It's a big win without suspense and hearty! Don't take it lightly, if you can slaughter your opponents, you won't let them go easily! ”

"Well, you've all heard what the boss said. Let's go, let's go to the field and tear the Atlanta Hawks to shreds in front of all those who support us! ”

After Carlisle finished speaking, Yiyang took the words and stood up suddenly, pushing everyone's emotions to the highest point.

If the Hawks players could have known in advance that the Mavericks were in such a state, they would probably start to tremble before they even played.

"Kevin, look! Brand new Dallas Mavericks, they're out! When the Mavericks players rushed out of the tunnel, not only the fans, but also Mike. Brin couldn't have been more excited. Last season, the Mavericks really didn't have any big stars except for Yiyang. Dirk, Kata and others are now masters whose fame is greater than their strength.

But now it's different, they have Hayward in his playing years, Guy who has settled down and stopped messing around, and they have three young faces with great potential.

People say the Mavericks' lineup is still a bit shabby, but Mike. Brin knows very well that as long as the run-in is good, by Yiyang's side, these guys may all become stars!

After a while, the Eagles players also came out to warm up. Unlike the offbeat stars on the Mavericks' side, the Hawks don't really have any players worth mentioning other than Schroder.

The difference in strength between the two sides is very obvious on the books.

The game started quickly, and the starting lineup on the Mavericks' side didn't change much from last season. Yiyang and Delong played the starting defenders and formed a two-core lineup. Nowitzki and Gobert are paired up on the inside, one inside and one outside. The only thing that changed was that Iguodala's position became Hayward. When Hayward came on the court, he was also warmly welcomed by the Mavericks fans.

This summer, Hayward signed a four-year contract with the Mavericks. This also means that Hayward is not using the Mavericks as a springboard, but really wants to have a career with Yiyang in the NBA. Such a guy, Mavericks fans naturally can't put it down.

Watching the Mavericks' starting lineup on the court, the Hawks' side is really shabby and shabby. In the case of their starting small forward, Bazemore is the third small forward on the Mavericks. And with the Eagles, he can sit in the starting position. This shows the huge gap between the two teams in terms of squad depth.

Before the start of the game, German defender Schröder still had his eyes on him. Nowitzki is old, and he will be the number one player in German basketball in the future. And if he can defeat Yiyang, no, not to mention defeating, even if he is not beaten by Yiyang, he will become famous.

If this game is played well, Schroeder can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Therefore, the Germans were extremely excited. Since the team's goal this season is to rebuild, he happily brushes up on the stats of the season! This is an idea that must be practiced from the very first game!

"That Schroeder guy, did you take the wrong medicine?" On the Mavericks bench, Armstrong smiled playfully as he saw that the German was still so excited against Yiyang.

Yiyang hasn't won the championship for just one year, and now the young people have forgotten how to write the word dead?

After the start of the comparison, Schroeder will not be so energetic......
