One Guard

The Mavericks defeated the Grizzlies and faced Mayo, whose old club threatened to complete their revenge, but only had a pitiful 9 points in the game.

Yiyang still trusts him, Carlisle still trusts him, and Dallas fans still trust him. But Mayo himself seems to have forgotten that he can do it.

Once a person feels complacent about his current situation, it is difficult for him to continue working hard. At this time, Mayo is undoubtedly in a state of complacency.

Occasionally the performance is bad, but occasionally he can score two or thirty points. Occasionally questioned, and occasionally called "the strongest duo" by others. As for the victory of the game, with so many games in the regular season, no one can win every game. So losing some of them, Mayo will not feel too sorry.

Even though Carlisle publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with Mayo at the press conference, Mayo still went his own way. I will never come to warm up in advance in the morning, and I will never take the initiative to stay to practice in the afternoon. He is like a white-collar worker sitting in an office building in downtown Dallas, commuting to and from get off work on time, living only for salary.

For Mayo's move, the Mavericks players have long been disappointed. They no longer have expectations of that guy, but have accumulated all their expectations on the Germans.

"The first official training in two months, how do you feel!" Nowitzki was officially activated from the injury list today. During training breaks, the Mavericks medical team rushed out to ask the Germans about the situation.

"Everything is good, but the body is a little heavy, hehe." Nowitzki scratched his head. Counting the summer vacation time, Nowitzki hadn't trained systematically for several months.

Today on the training ground, Nowitzki's performance is not bad, but it is also very average. After all, you have to expect an athlete who has just undergone knee surgery to hit the peak immediately. It is no different from daydreaming. But Dirk is now able to stand on the basketball court, which is very reassuring.

At least now besides Mayo, Yiyang has another reliable scoring point beside him. Mayo's tactical status in the team will be gradually reduced by Carlisle. If the kid does not plan to work hard by then, then he is really hopeless.

Nowitzki's comeback gave the Mavericks players and coaches morale high, but their next opponent, the San Antonio Spurs, was unhappy anyway.

20 wins and 8 losses, after the struggle at the beginning of the season, the Spurs are now on the right track. They are like an old delicate pocket watch. Although they don't run fast, they will never go wrong.

The "Bull and Horse War" on the night before Christmas Eve has long been regarded by the fans of both sides as their Christmas duel! Similarly, Popovich and his three old wagons do not plan to lose before the Christmas holidays.

"Remove your bloated body! What's the matter, Thiago? I can't run anymore? Would you like me to arrange a shift for you tomorrow!" The empty training ground of the ATT Center is full of echoes from Popovich, the old man. Just standing on the sidelines and yelling, all seemed bold.

Hearing the word "turn off", the Brazilian center Thiago Splitter quickened his pace. Popovich is the kind of coach who can really put the main force on the bench for a whole game, even if Parker and Duncan do not perform well, they will be treated like this. Therefore, the Brazilian actively supplemented the rim on the training ground, successfully prevented Parker from layup, and also ushered in the applause of Popovich for himself.

"Good job Thiago, but not enough! You have to know that tomorrow will be faster than Tony!" Popovich finished, raising his right hand into a fist. The players understood, all stood on their designated positions and re-exercised their tactics.

In the next attack, Duncan missed an open shot from the mid-range position after receiving a pass from Parker. This situation where the opportunity has come out but cannot be grasped is what Popovich most hates to see.

"What are you doing, Burys? Do you want me to lend you reading glasses so that you can see where your matchup is!" Let Duncan get such a big gap, defending "Stone Buddha" French forward Bury S. Dior was undoubtedly the first to suffer.

While Duncan was still snickering, Popovich's stern eyes suddenly fell on the "stone man".

"As for you Tim, I can understand your feelings. It's normal that you can't make a shot."

As soon as Popovich said this, the Spurs fans throughout the training ground were confused. When did this old man become so gentle? He was not angry at Duncan, but comforted him!

"After all, everyone will be so frightened to pee their pants when they learn about Dirk's upcoming comeback. I see your pants are wet, Tim."

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Gosh Tim, you are so sloppy."

It wasn't until Popovich said the choking sentence that the Spurs players felt relieved. Their coach, as expected, hasn't become so mad as a dual personality.

"The Dallas Mavericks are not a strong team, maybe half a month ago they still looked like a threat. But now, we must not lose in a must-win game! Well, go on training! Because it depends on you now. It's lazy, you can't win the ball!"

On the night before Christmas Eve, the entire city of San Antonio was surrounded by a strong festive atmosphere.

Beginning in November, the San Antonio Riverwalk will be lit up with bright Christmas lights, and the one-month grand Christmas Day event kicked off. More than 122,000 flashing lights illuminate the walkway along the river. During the Ford Fiesta Christmas lights, more than 6,000 Christmas lights will be installed on both sides of the river. The huge Christmas tree on Alamo Square will illuminate the area during the New Year. .

At this time, the level of excitement in the ATT center is no worse than outside. It seems that these old men of the Spurs intend to use this Texas Derby victory as their Christmas present!

Before the start of the game, countless fans have come here admiringly, filling the ATT center. For Spurs fans who have not arranged a Christmas game, today's game is a Christmas carnival.

Fans can receive free Christmas hats and trinkets at the entrance of the stadium, and the ATT center is also decorated with joy, and the festive atmosphere is very strong. But for the Mavericks players, San Antonio is definitely not a good place for holidays.

"I don't know if the Mavericks are lucky or unlucky. The good thing is that they finally expect Dirk to return, but the bad thing is that the Germans have to struggle with Duncan in the first game after their comeback. Before the start of the game, Barkley got the official list selected by the coaches of both sides for the game. Among them, Nowitzki, who has been absent for a month and a half, was on the list.

Duncan and Nowitzki, the battle between these two four positions, is bound to become the most attractive focus of the game. Two historical power forwards, two low-key people who are always forgotten by people, will eventually meet directly today. But the Spurs fans seem to have forgotten that Yiyang was solely responsible for the games before Nowitzki's return.

Before the game started, ESPN reporters immediately gave Nowitzki and Duncan a split-screen shot. It can be seen that the two big guys are very focused on this upcoming game.

But although the Mavericks ushered in Nowitzki's comeback, they are still not favored by fans today. No way, compared with the stable record of the Spurs, the ups and downs of the Mavericks are too great. They can beat a team like Oklahoma City Thunder, and lose out on the Bobcats.

Before the game started, O'Neal made a harsh statement on a TNT basketball program. He said that Nowitzki wants to return to normal after returning, it will take at least half a month. Nowitzki has not yet adapted to his knees after surgery, and it is almost impossible to show his fists directly in the fierce official competition. So this "Christmas War" belonging to Texas will definitely end with a home victory for the Spurs. Finally, O'Neill did not forget to add: "The difference must be more than ten!"

Although O'Neal's big mouth caused him a lot of trouble, this time, O'Neal did not talk nonsense. At the beginning of the game, Yiyang gave the ball to Nowitzki, hoping that the Germans could solve the problem by playing alone on the court. Yiyang's choice of this ball can be described as popular. Nowitzki has disappeared for so long, and the fans can't wait to see the Germans' heroism.

However, Nowitzki's jump shot was still a bit blunt. It's been too long for a formal game, and Dirk hasn't gotten over it for a while. Under Duncan's strong defense, Nowitz's first shot in the basic season knocked out. The German gritted his teeth and tried his best to retreat. The game has just begun. Don't worry...Don't worry...

Nowitzki doesn't score a goal, and the Spurs won't feel pity for it. The spirited old man Popovich has already yelled from the sidelines, and the battle that can be resolved as soon as possible will never be delayed to the last moment!

"French Sports Car" just passed the half-time, it encountered Yiyang's strict interception. Parker tried to break through, but was stopped by Yiyang. There was no way, he had to observe the positions of his teammates, ready to give the opportunity to others~www.novelmtl.com~ At this time, the Brazilian center Splitter suddenly came out. He set up a nearly perfect ball-free pick-and-roll for Danny Green, who was on the move. The latter used the pick-and-roll to easily get rid of the absent-minded Mayo and go to the three-point line.

In the face of severe blockage, Mayo completely lost his goal. He let Danny Green receive the basketball comfortably and shoot directly. The basketball entered through the net without any delay. For a shooter like Green, Mayo's defense is as fragile as a piece of paper, and it breaks with a poke.

Dirk shook his head. He may have just been replaced by the old Carter, and his defense will be more active than the young Mayo. Mayo does not regret after losing the ball, as if this is a common occurrence. What about basketball, what do you think if you don't score dozens of goals in a game?

Mayo's actions did not make waves in Yiyang's heart. It was not that Yiyang agreed with Mayo, but that he had long been immune to Mayo's indifferent reactions.

When Yiyang again held the ball and pushed it towards the Spurs halftime, Mayo stood there and was too lazy to run. Nowitzki, who had just returned from injury, was unable to move under Duncan's defense. Kaman and Marion do not have too strong scoring ability.

Why is Popovich so confident? Because the Spurs' paper lineup is indeed more luxurious. The Dallas Mavericks are the kind of opponent that Bobo must win.

Yiyang had a sudden stop and changed his offensive posture. He gave up organizing, instead he planned to break through and score himself!

Don't think that you are sure of this game. Christmas in San Antonio, Yiyang doesn't want to spend it with troubles!

In the next second, Yiyang suddenly started, leaning on Parker and starting to go to the basket. Look good, I am the archon of the Dallas Mavericks!
