One Guard

Vol 2 Chapter 170: : Two months of suffering

The news that the Mavericks defeated the Thunder by a very good made the Dallas fans very happy. But more people are silent in the haze.

"Nowitzki will confirm that he will not play against the Raptors. The time for his comeback is undetermined."

"Dirk is troubled by injuries and the Mavericks have encountered the biggest crisis of the season."

"The time for Dirk's return from injury is undecided, and the MRI results will be announced tomorrow afternoon."

In the case of Nowitzki's injury, the news of the Mavericks' victory can only be placed in a small corner of the front page. Compared to a regular season victory, the Germans' health seems to be more touching.

After all, everyone knows how much a player's injury can hit the team. Looking at the Trail Blazers, the injury almost directly brought the division of roses back to the rebuilding stage. Had it not been for Aldridge's sudden rise, the Blazers might have been rotten in the lottery area by now. Look at the Houston Rockets, McGrady and Yao Ming's injuries, so that the West no longer has a place in Houston.

Everyone has a fear of injury, and even the greatest player may be destroyed by injury. And this year, the Dallas man who has finally seen the hope of winning the championship, naturally does not want all of this to be ruined by Dirk's injury.

But for Carlisle, the team's problem is not only Dirk's injury as simple as that. The depth of the game and various problems also followed.

Due to back-to-back fighting, the Mavericks, who returned to Dallas the next morning after defeating the Thunder, will begin training at noon, and the game will begin at night.

This kind of high-intensity sports life, even professional athletes may not be able to bear it. As a result, the bad news happened again on the training ground at noon.

During the tactical exercise, the exhausted Puerto Rican defender Jose Barea accidentally sprained his waist. After the team doctor checked, it was also confirmed that the Mavericks had to add a new name to the injury list.

Although after Yiyang joined the team, Barea's playing time became less and less. He has gone from starting at the beginning of the season to becoming a backup guard after Terry and Yiyang. But with Dirk's injury, Carlisle needs all players that can be used. Barea's absence undoubtedly gave the Mavericks a head.

In the middle of the regular season, all kinds of things will happen. Some teams may experience reimbursement for the season as their star star, while more are like the Mavericks, unable to assemble a complete lineup.

Nowitzki's side has not yet come out, and here Carlisle's men have lost another general.

And NBA league games will not stop just because your team is injured. No matter how well the Mavericks prepare, the fact is that the night's game is getting closer and closer.

Thinking of these troubles, Carlisle felt a headache. Reality is not a game after all, some things can be ignored. In the game, if a player is injured, he can re-read the files to keep the team healthy throughout the season. But here, he has no ability to reverse reality. All the Mavericks can do is to bite the bullet and continue.

Kidd looked at Carlisle's mental state and was a little worried about his coach. This tall guy looks a little pale, players still have substitutes to change, but the coach must persist for a whole season.

In all these messes, the Mavericks back-to-back game against the Toronto Raptors is still here.

The Raptors have won only ten games so far this season. This number is less than half of the Mavericks. It can be said that the rebuilding Raptors are definitely an out-and-out weak team.

Then today, the Raptors, who have experienced a three-game losing streak, are very much hoping to take away the victory from the Mavericks with uneven lineup. The exhausted Mavericks did not have such a high fighting spirit.

After the game started, an obvious problem was that the Mavericks couldn't even find a stable scoring point!

At the beginning of the game, the Mavericks dug a big hole for themselves at home.

Fortunately, when Yiyang played as the sixth man, the situation finally changed. But the poor state of others has left Yiyang's many wonderful communications to no avail.

Although Yiyang attacked fiercely by himself, in front of the red-eyed Raptors, Yiyang was already hard to beat with one punch.

In the end, Yiyang scored a game-high 18 points and 8 assists. But the Raptors, who scored in double figures with five players, defeated the league's No. 1 team on the road.

In addition to the Mavericks Yiyang, Marion's 12 points is the highest score. As for the others, the audience seemed to be sleepwalking.

84 to 76, the Raptors won the game with a very low score. The Mavericks scored 76 points in four quarters, which shows how bad their offense is today.

"Congratulations, buddy." After the game, Carlisle politely shook hands with Raptors coach Jane Triano. But the expression on this guy's face didn't mean to congratulate others sincerely.

Carlisle turned his head back again, looking at the frustrated players. Losing to a team at the bottom of the league is indeed a blow to morale.

Although aggrieved and lost, the league didn't have much time for the Mavericks to breathe. Do you still expect someone to run to the basketball arena and use all kinds of inspiring words to comfort the injured hearts? No, it's impossible. In the intensive schedule of the league, there is no time for the team to do those bells and whistles. There are only two themes here, either dead or alive.

On December 30th, the Mavericks will play their last game of 2010 at home. But encountering this opponent during this period is indeed too untimely.

The San Antonio Spurs with a complete lineup meet the crippled Dallas Mavericks. Even if the stone-like man does not care, Popovich will never allow the Spurs to lose such a "free" victory.

The battle between cows and horses did arouse the enthusiasm of the Mavericks players, and their performance today is also very good. But under the indiscriminate bombing of GDP, the Mavericks who lacked a star can only swallow the defeat.

Yiyang did his best in this game, scoring 25 points, tying his career high scoring record. Kidd's triple-double with 12 points, 13 assists and 10 rebounds also surprised the audience.

But after the lack of Nowitzki, the gap in hard power between the two sides still allowed the Spurs to rely on Duncan's singles to establish a victory at the last minute.

98 to 93, the Spurs only relied on Duncan's consecutive goals at the last minute to win by a narrow margin of 5 points. Popovich was furious after the game. He couldn't believe that facing the remnant Mavericks and the Spurs, he almost failed to win the game.

Looking at that very unwilling team, Popovich felt that he was not enjoying winning at all.

After losing this game, the San Antonio Spurs also officially surpassed the Dallas Mavericks and took the first place in the Western Conference. And this is the second time the Mavericks have experienced a losing streak so far this season.

Fortunately, after this game, Nowitzki and Barea's comeback time have also been confirmed.

The German has only a moderately sprained knee, which is not a major problem, and he is expected to return in mid-January. Barea has torn muscles in his waist, but if he is properly trained, he will return in mid-January.

These two news are undoubtedly the most exciting news Carlisle has heard in the past few days. As long as the Mavericks survive this half a month, they can get back on track.

But after looking at the half-month schedule, Carlisle felt that things were not as easy as he thought.

The Thunder, Magic, Trail Blazers, Spurs, Grizzlies...In the past half month, the Mavericks will meet several strong teams. And these guys who are eager for a better record will not be merciful when dealing with the Mavericks who are not in the same lineup.

It is obviously impossible to eat them all as before. What Carlisle can do now is to try his best to win the game that he can win and try not to let the team fall too far behind Dirk and the others.

With such a goal, the Mavericks continue to hit the road. What is their record this year, this half month has undoubtedly become one of the most critical periods.

January 1, New Year's Day. Yiyang couldn't spend the festive season with his mother, because the Mavericks will be far away to Milwaukee today against the Bucks. In Carlisle's plan, the ball is undoubtedly within the range that the Mavericks "can win".

However, with Australia's No. 1 player Bogut's explosive 29 points, the Bucks, who had been suppressed for a whole game, completed the lead in the last minute and ended the game.

97 to 99, Carlisle couldn't even believe what happened on the court in the last minute. However, the fact is that ~www.novelmtl.com~ the Mavericks lost again, losing three games in a row. Yiyang scored 20 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals today, but he still couldn't stop the team from continuing to lose streak.

At the last minute, Bogut launched a fierce attack without a star. In this way, once again, the Mavericks lost at the point of "there is no final decision player."

After the three-game losing streak, the Mavericks players did not even have time to return to Dallas, but flew directly to Cleveland to prepare for the upcoming back-to-back game.

Fortunately, facing the Cavaliers who were beaten back to "before liberation" after James left, the Mavericks finally won the victory and ended the losing streak.

This game is actually a win-win situation for both sides. It is said that the Cavaliers have targeted Duke University's talented guard Kyrie Irving. The more they lose now, the better their chances of getting Irving.

Yiyang scored 18 points and 11 assists and cut a double-double. Only today, his efforts have not been wasted in vain.

Up to this point, the two weakest opponents in the past two months, the Bucks and Cavaliers, the Mavericks have finished playing. The next few games will be the real test for the Mavericks and Yiyang.

In the next game to face the Portland Trail Blazers, Carlisle did not classify it as a "must win" range. After all, the Blazers with a record of 18 wins and 16 losses are not a weak team. The last time the two sides met, with Dirk, the Mavericks were almost overthrown.

Carlisle thought so, but Yiyang didn't think so. With the progress of these games, Yiyang has become more and more accustomed to the feeling of playing when Dirk is away.

In the next game against the Trail Blazers, many people are not optimistic about the Mavericks. But why couldn't that game be the beginning of another winning streak?

Carlisle didn't know yet, a huge surprise was waiting for himself...
