One Guard

Vol 3 Chapter 725: : Seventy-two victories in the footsteps

In the last 33 seconds of the game, James Harden had to continue to suffer on the court. The reason is simple, no one can replace him with a rocket full of wounded soldiers.

When Harden hit his sixth goal of today on Carter's head and scored a game-high 26 points, he was not in the slightest joy.

In the last 33 seconds of the game, the Rockets were still 12 points behind. Such a difference really makes Harden unhappy anyway.

In fact, Harden's efficiency is pretty good today, shooting 6 of 14 from the field and shooting 42.9% from the field. He made 3 of 5 three-pointers and successfully got 13 free throw opportunities. Relying on free throws, Harden scored 11 points.

But his somewhat "medium" performance can't allow the Rockets to beat the Mavericks. What's more, McHale's weird formation did not help Harden.

As an insider, Motel Yunus only made 3 of 8 shots. Josh Smith came off the bench and made more shots than Harden. Of course, the hit rate is lower.

"Trash Dog" Beverly has been out of form since he was knocked down by Yiyang today. He made 1 of 7 shots in the field, failed to make a large open three-pointer, and was bumped by Mark several times.

As for the former No. 1 candidate Terrence Jones, he was considered an all-around forward like Odom in college. He can control the ball, pass the ball, defend, and shoot. But after arriving in the NBA, all-around has become all-powerless. This seems to be a common problem with most NCAA all-around forwards. This was also the case with Bennett, the top pick last year.

He only scored 9 points in 30 minutes, which obviously did not meet McHale's expectations of him.

When the electronic buzzer that represented the end of the game sounded, both Harden and McHale felt relieved. This **** game is finally over!

Before the game started, the Rockets were eager to knock the Mavericks down. And now, they just want to leave Dallas as soon as possible!

"The game is over, 111 to 100. Dallas took the Houston Rockets under the circumstances of back-to-back fighting! After this game, the Houston Rockets have fallen to sixth in the Western Conference. There is no doubt that this record is definitely not in line with the Rockets' expectations. of."

Barkley looked at the court in disbelief and could see that the Mavericks were exhausted. Although Carlisle's rotation is very delicate, but they only played two overtime yesterday, they are undoubtedly very tired.

But they just persevered and defeated the Rockets that had rested for eight days. Perhaps this is the role of the Mavericks players' championship heart.

"Iguodala 13 points, Dirk 12 points, Wade 13 points, Gobert 10 points, Aminu 17 points, Mark 12 points, Bezmore 13 points, 22 points. You have to admit, two The gap in the depth of the team’s lineup is huge. Under the glue, everyone on the Mavericks can play a role as long as they come up. Coach Carlisle today blurred the line between the starting and the bench. There is no doubt that this is A very successful move."

"Eight people scored in double figures. It's a great result. I really want to hear what Coach McHale thinks about this game." O'Neal smirked, McHale's relaxed look before the game started, but It left a deep impression on him.

McHale was walking towards the player tunnel with his head down, but unfortunately, he could not escape the "hunting" of the reporters.

The TNT reporter who interviewed him before the game came again and blocked McHale's path.

At this moment, compared with the chic old man with a smile before the game, McHale looked like a dog in the water.

"Meeting again, Coach McHale. It seems that the Rockets are playing pretty badly tonight."

McHale smiled awkwardly at the camera, but in his heart he cursed the **** reporter secretly!

"Before the start of the game, you said that you would become a winner. So which link went wrong today and hindered your pace of becoming a winner?"

"The Mavericks played better than we thought, but our own performance was worse than we thought, that's it." McHale finished the answer and "escaped" the scene in desperation.

"Next time, maybe that guy McHale won't utter rants before the game." Barkley smiled as he looked at McHale's desolate appearance off the court.

This guy may have a good game of basketball, but as a coach... Barkley thinks that maybe he can do better than McHale.

"22 points and 15 assists. Congratulations on your double-double stats and the best of the game. Yesterday's battle in Oklahoma was obvious to all. So today, how did you overcome your physical problems?" Besides McHale, the most watched person in this game is Yiyang.

"We are united. When everyone in a team is pushing in one direction, the game is often very simple."

"Coach Carlisle gave the starter and the bench almost the same playing time today. What do you think of this arrangement? Will the Mavericks continue to use this wheel-like approach in the future?"

"In the Dallas Mavericks, we have no difference between a starter and a substitute. Everyone is a Mavericks player. As long as they play, they will contribute to the team. So no matter how the rotation changes, it will not affect the team's performance."

Every answer from Yiyang is just right. In fact, this is the true situation of the Mavericks.

When everyone is working towards a goal, winning the game is simply a matter of catching it.

"They know what they are doing and what they are fighting for... I have nothing to say about this game." After the game, Terry's eyes in the interview were even more meaningful.

If it weren't for the Rockets to die and die, now, the "Jets" should also be flying in the sky of Dallas.

※※※

After finishing the two back-to-back games of the All-Star Game, the Mavericks have achieved a four-game winning streak after losing to the Warriors. 53 wins and 5 losses, the Mavericks' results are enough to make the Golden State Warriors feel sweaty.

After going through the toughest set of back-to-back matches in February, Carlisle also let out a sigh of relief. No one was injured and the team won the game. There is no better result.

As long as this group of back-to-back Mavericks pass, there is no need to worry about the rest of the schedule in February.

After playing back-to-back, take a day off. On February 22, the Mavericks played the Charlotte Hornets at home.

Jordan even visited the scene today to watch his team's performance. However, the Hornets were suppressed by the Mavericks' defense. With a 36% shooting rate, Jordan covered his face and shook his head.

"Maybe, Michael really wants to take off his suit and play in person, hahahaha!" Mike Brin looked at Jordan's reaction and couldn't help laughing.

In this game, ESPN continuously gave Yiyang and Jordan split-screen shots, and the intention was also very obvious. How far is Yiyang from breaking Jordan's record of 72 wins?

92 to 81, the Mavericks easily defeated the Hornets and won their five-game winning streak. With 54 wins and 5 losses, the Mavericks have 23 games to play. In 23 games, the Mavericks have to win 17 of them to tie the 72-win record. If they want to break records, they must do better.

"I don't think they can do it. 23 games to win 17 games, even if it is placed on the Dallas Mavericks, it is too difficult. What's more, now that the game has reached the end of the season, for the playoffs, coach Carlisle also I won't let the players work so hard again." This is the answer given by Scott Pippen, one of the creators of the 72-win record, in a show after the game.

Pippen admits that the current Mavericks team is very great, but he does not think that the Mavericks team is as great as the Bulls back then.

"72 wins in the regular season is a very great record, but we are not aiming to break the record." Carlisle said when facing the reporter's camera, it made many fans who do not like the Mavericks breathe a sigh of relief. . It seems that the Mavericks and that great record are destined to miss.

But they seem to forget that the Mavericks' record last season was 69 wins. The record of 72 wins is only 3 games away. The Mavericks this season are stronger than last year. Even if they do not "deliberately" break the record, it is not impossible to create miracles.

On February 24, the Dallas Mavericks played at home against the Toronto Raptors. The Raptors were very loud in this game, and now even if the Mavericks lose a game, they will be farther away from setting a record. Therefore, countless people are expecting the Raptors to overturn the Mavericks. After all, DeRozan and Lowry are both in excellent condition this season.

The Raptors did not let everyone down, and their overall performance today was a pleasant surprise. But the fact that DeRozan and Lowry are two star players is disappointing.

In the wheel battle between Iguodala and Tony Allen, DeRozan only hit 7 goals in 21 shots. Only scored 18 points with a 33.3% hit rate.

As for Rockets veteran Lowry, Yiyang took care of him clearly. 4 of 15 shots, 11 points and 4 assists, Lowry obviously did not fulfill his responsibilities as a point guard.

Fortunately, the other players of the Raptors played well, which allowed the Raptors to avoid being slaughtered by the Mavericks. In the end, the Mavericks defeated the King of the North 99 to 92, turning the record into 55 wins and 5 losses!

Yiyang has 32 points and 12 assists. Are the Mavericks destined to be not as great as the Bulls of the year? This is not necessarily true!

At this point, the Mavericks have two games left to play in February. If they get a full victory, they only need to win 15 of the last 22 games to tie the record!

So far, the Mavericks have played 60 games. The Mavericks only lost 5 of the 60 games. It is almost impossible for the Mavericks to lose more than 5 games with 22 games left.

Unless, the Mavericks broke out with extensive injuries.

I don’t know if it’s God and can’t stand the Mavericks’ continued vandalism. The Mavericks have been really bad news in recent days.

First, Dirk's ankle sprained during training must be truce, and Wade feels knee discomfort and truce for observation. In the end, Iguodala had two truces because of the flu.

Overnight, three of the Mavericks' starting five were unable to play. Everyone cheered, the Mavericks' dream of 72 wins is over!

Sure enough, in the game against the Atlanta Hawks on February 26, the Mavericks, who lacked major generals, fell behind by 11 points in the first quarter. The Hawks were not a weak team this season. This can be seen from their 44 wins and 12 losses.

But 11 points behind in the first quarter did not discourage the Mavericks, but instead inspired their fighting spirit.

In the second quarter of the game, the Mavericks' efforts on the defensive end finally saw results. Carlisle has always believed that defense is the best way to chase points.

In the first 5 minutes and 55 seconds of the second game, they only allowed the Eagles to score 2 sports goals. With 6 minutes and 20 seconds left in the quarter, Yiyang made a layup and the Mavericks chased the score to 39 to 43. Since then, the Eagles scored 4 points to open the score again, but when Yiyang, the three-pointer and old Carter, each hit a three-pointer, the Mavericks narrowed the difference to 2 points.

This wave of offense boosted the Mavericks' morale. So in the last three and a half minutes of this quarter, the Eagles failed to score 0 of 9 shots and the Mavericks succeeded in overtaking 53 to 49 at the end of the halftime!

In the second quarter, the Mavericks completely blinded the Hawks. Dallas people are like a spring, the more you press, the more fierce they rebound!

In the second half of the game, even without Wade, Dirk and Iguodala~www.novelmtl.com~ the Mavericks played smoothly!

Tony Allen played the third position, which perfectly filled the gap of Iguodala. Old Carter replaced Wade in the starting field, piercing the heart of the Eagles with a three-pointer, the sword is not old. Aminu continued his steady performance, almost never missed open shots, making the Hawks unable to defend.

Of course, there is the one who never gives up. In the case of scoring 33 points, he also sent 11 assists and another double-double to help the Mavericks reverse their victory!

Six Mavericks scored in double figures, 104 to 87, 56 wins and 5 losses!

On the last day of February, no one had any expectations for the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets also really "live up to expectations" and lost to the Mavericks who were short of soldiers by ten minutes.

While everyone thought that the Mavericks were about to end, Yiyang led the team to continue winning streaks. With a terrifying record of 57 wins and 5 losses, the entire February schedule ended.

12 games won 11 games, throughout February, the Mavericks continued to kill the Quartet.

At the end of the regular season after only one and a half months, the Mavericks still only lost five games.

The 72-win record is an impossible record in the eyes of almost all basketball fans. This number seems to symbolize the unchallable authority of the legendary bull. Almost all NBA experts will rank the Bulls' 72 wins record as the hardest to break the record first!

But the matter is here, whether people want to admit it or not. The fact is that this legendary record was broken by another legendary team. It was only a matter of time...
