One Guard

The Celtics "unsurprisingly" lost to the league's No. 1 Mavericks at home, leaving Stevens once again caught in a storm of public opinion.

At the press conference after the game, Stevens maintained the players as always, taking most of the responsibility for losing to himself. And this will undoubtedly intensify the media's attacks.

"Coach Stevens can't read the numbers? Doesn't he know how much is the difference between 2.06 meters and 2.15 meters!?"

"Maybe Coach Stevens believes that height is not the most important factor on the basketball court, but the fact is that the Celtics are completely suppressed by height on the court!"

"If it weren't for Jeff Green's magical performance, perhaps the Celtics would have lost even worse. Coach Stevens is suitable for cultivating outstanding talents in college basketball, but he is definitely not suitable for playing professional basketball."

The next day, even some local Boston media couldn't help but hacked their own coaches. Stevens’s employment yesterday made many media feel confused. They used Salinger, who was only 2.06 meters tall, to play center. They can guarantee that the guy must have his head caught by the locker room door!

But inside the team, Angie agrees with Stevens's approach. Those laymen would never predict that the blurring of positions on the basketball court is actually inevitable. Stevens is not understood by others only because he is ahead of most people.

The young coach provided the Celtics with a very clear goal of team building. Angie believes that they will complete the reconstruction and it will not even take four years.

No, the day after losing to the Mavericks, Stevens led the Celtics to blast the Milwaukee Bucks.

Jeff Green had 29 points and Salinger also contributed 13 points and 10 rebounds at the center position. With exactly the same tactics, after changing opponents, the Celtics immediately became brilliant.

But facing the Dallas Mavericks, how many other teams' tactics can work? The Spurs have never beaten the Mavericks this season. Does this mean Popovich’s head is also caught by the goal?

After the Celtics hammered the Bucks, people praised Jeff Green and praised Salinger. In short, good things are never in Stevens's place.

But Stevens doesn't care, his client is the Celtics, not the ridiculous media. The media's comments are not important, and the team plays the required games, which is enough.

Yiyang is very happy that his former teacher can respond to the media that questioned him so quickly, but now, Yiyang does not have much time to consider Stevens’s joking invitation, nor does he have the mind to care about his coach’s return. Can you continue to win the game? His own road to championship has not yet been completed.

The Mavericks still have two games to play before the start of the mid-season truce in the NBA regular season at the All-Star Weekend.

On February 11th, he played against the Hornets, who had Anthony Davis, but was still rebuilding. On February 12, they will face this year's Eastern Conference No. 1 back to back, and beat the Miami Heat's Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Rankings.

In the first game, it shouldn't take much effort for the Mavericks. The Hornets have played against the Mavericks twice this season, both of which were defeated. Anthony Davis is tough, but now he does not have the ability to lead the team soaring into the sky.

What Carlisle is really worried about is the game on February 12th. That game was not only back-to-back, but also an away game, which was a very harsh test of the players' physical fitness.

And the Indiana Pacers are indeed very strong this season, so far, their record is 39 wins and 11 losses, very likely to become the first team in the East to reach 40 wins. The media even claimed that the Pacers will stop James from the finals.

Facing such a strong opponent who has not played against a record this season, Carlisle is really worried.

This guy Carlisle is like that, even if the team's record is such an impressive 46 wins and 5 losses, he will always worry about the team losing.

He cherishes every experience he has played against a strong team, and is eager for the team to win all games against a strong team. It's not that Carlisle is greedy. The Mavericks' record is no longer any worse in the regular season.

The reason why he still hopes that the team will win a strong opponent is to accumulate experience and prepare for the playoffs. Only by playing against these teams and winning, can the team perform better in the playoffs.

Carlisle is still struggling for the Pacers, but this guy Yiyang has already "freed himself."

It is less than a week before the start of the All-Star Weekend, which means that the day when he and Vignalie reunite is getting closer.

On February 10, the day before the start of the Mavericks and Hornets game, reporters even caught Yiyang in the mall for an unprecedented time. He carried a bunch of things in his hand, and it seemed that the guy seemed to be preparing gifts.

As soon as this incident came out, it directly hit the G spot of many media. Yiyang, who had always been known for its hard work, also had a day of fun in time. Before the game, I didn't take a break early that night, and I went to the court to go back late.

At the same time, reporters also filmed Marion entering and exiting nightclubs, Gobert was found in a video game retail store, Nowitzki and his African wife cruised in Baiyan Lake at night...

It seems that the "All-Star Game Syndrome" will also happen to Yiyang and the Mavericks.

On the night of February 10th, the Spurs lost to the penultimate Pistons in the Eastern Conference. Popovich couldn't help but complain after the game: the players are now thinking about how to spend the All-Star Weekend.

Coincidentally, the Rockets with the "modern combination" also lost to the tenth-ranked Timberwolves that night. Howard and Harden performed like sleepwalking on the court with frequent turnovers.

An hour later, the Warriors lost to the 76ers at home at Oracle Arena. The 76ers coach Brett Brown, who has only won 15 games so far this season, said frankly after the game that this was an unpredictable and incredible victory!

The "All-Star Pre-Game Syndrome" swept the entire league, and more and more strong teams began to lose inexplicably. Tonight, it's the Spurs, Rockets and Warriors. The Dallas Mavericks have undoubtedly become the next favorite loser by the media!

"If even starts to get lax, then I really can't imagine what the rest of the Mavericks are in."

"Anthony Davis is still trying his best to win games to prove himself, but the Dallas Mavericks are already thinking about the weekend holiday. Believe me, even the Spurs lost, the Mavericks will not be spared."

"Even if the Mavericks are lucky enough to win the Hornets, they will never be able to defeat the Pacers in back-to-back games. I think that the Mavericks' winning streak will be ended in the last two days."

In the early morning of the next day, in addition to the three teams that all lost upset yesterday, the Dallas Mavericks became the hottest topic. Almost everyone in the media is sure that the Mavericks will follow the Spurs, Rockets and Warriors and become another team affected by the "All-Star Pre-Game Syndrome".

In order to get a firm foothold on this point of view, many "experts" have also listed a piece of data that seems quite ridiculous.

However, the game of basketball cannot be accurately predicted by data analysis. Otherwise, what fun is there in competitive sports?

While everyone in the world was waiting to watch the Mavericks' "good show", the Dallas Mavericks and Yiyang offered them real good shows!

"Rudy Gobert leaped high, he caught the basketball! Boom! Monster dunk, this is Rudy Gobert's 15th point today! And this is the highest scoring record of his career!" In the commentary, Mike Brin felt that Gobert's dunk made the whole arena tremble. The dunk of that thin tall boy is really too powerful!

"God, Gobert's dunk has put the Dallas Mavericks ahead of the Hornets by 25 points! He also sent out 14 assists today, 4 of which were in the air with Rudy. This combination of inside and outside, let us see The Mavericks have infinite possibilities in the future!" Next to Brin, Kevin Harlan looked at the two young men impossibly. This is only the first year of their cooperation. God knows if Gobert and Yiyang will become the next best duo.

"This morning, some people said that the Mavericks are destined to be affected by the All-Star pregame syndrome. After all, many strong teams have recently capsized collectively. But for now, this kind of'weird disease' has not spread in Dallas. ."

"All-Star Pre-Game Syndrome? Is it only I think the people who coined the word are ridiculous?" Kevin Harlan dismissed this statement, even if the recent collective loss of the strong team, it can not explain any problems. This ridiculous word is just a gimmick created by the media to make money.

The outstanding performance of Yiyang and Gobert made Anthony Davis only silently abused. "Brother Thick Eyebrow" scored 24 points and 15 rebounds in the game, which is quite outstanding. It's a pity that he always struggled to win.

In the end, the Mavericks beat the Hornets 123 to 89 at home, and the winning streak continued. And this victory also made it difficult to justify the "advanced data" of many "experts".

In this regard, their explanation is. "The Hornets themselves are too weak. The next game against the Pacers, the lax Mavericks will definitely suffer."

However, even if the Mavericks lose to the Pacers, it is actually quite normal. After all, the opponent is the number one in the Eastern Conference that overwhelms the Heat.

But well, these guys were stupefied by this kind of statement. But the "experts" didn't know that this just delayed their deaths.

On the night of February 11, the exhausted Mavericks players had to rush to Indianapolis overnight after the game. When training in the afternoon of the next day, except for the two young men, Yiyang and Gobert, the physical condition of everyone else was very bad. Playing away back to back is what Carlisle hates most.

Losing is a trivial matter. If the players are injured because of exhaustion, it is estimated that he will really rush into the league office and threaten to blow up the office building.

But whether the Mavericks were ready or not, the game started on time at eight o'clock in the evening. Looking at the Pacers' strong lineup that is enough to suppress the Heat, Carlisle feels that today is too bad.

But after the game started, the Pacers' offense did not appear. Instead, the two teams are very "tacitly" crazy iron!

The Mavericks are not in good shape because of exhaustion, but the Pacers really seem to have suffered from the All-Star Pre-Game Syndrome~www.novelmtl.com~ The entire game, everyone on the Pacers, yes, everyone It's like sleepwalking.

Their star, Paul George, made 17 crazy shots in this game, but he only hit 4 impressive goals, scoring an average of one goal in one game. The Pacers center Roy Hibbert, who is 2.18 meters tall and known as the "Black Yao Ming", "smashed" 4 points and 7 rebounds in the game, making everyone fall through.

Of course, the situation on the Mavericks' side is not much better. The exhausted Nowitzki was out of shape when he played, scoring 15 points with a 38.9% shooting rate. However, Darren Collison's 14.3% shooting rate makes Dirk's data seem not so bad.

At the end of the game, the Pacers shot 32.1% and the Dallas Mavericks were slightly better with 35.7%. This match, which was supposed to be like sparks hitting the earth, came to the end in the continuous sound of iron strikes.

Fortunately, the normal play of Yiyang and Gobert allowed the Mavericks to win the game 81 to 73. The scores of the two teams are very low, and it can be considered a faithful reflection of the scene of the game.

Although the scene is a bit ugly, the Mavericks at least successfully passed the "All-Star Pre-Game Syndrome" pandemic. Before the start of the All-Star Game, it landed safely.

After the game, Yiyang sat in the media reception room with a tired face. When reporters asked him what he thought of this "rock-shattering" victory, Yiyang replied in a lazy voice.

"I just want to enjoy the next weekend."

The **** back-to-back away game is finally over, and Yiyang is also so happy for the arrival of All-Star Weekend for the first time in history.

As for the guys who threatened that the Mavericks would definitely lose, not many people still remember them...
