One Guard

『Chapter error, click here to report』

After the battle with the Utah Jazz, Hayward attracted countless fans, even though he was defeated. They insisted on the spirit of never giving up until the last minute, which made many fans love them.

Of course, the most eye-catching aspect of this battle is Yiyang who shines on the defensive end. It is just good luck to guard against Paul and Harden. Then if Hayward were to be defended continuously, it would be enough to explain the problem.

Hayward is a strong striker with advantages in height and weight. All this was prevented by Yiyang, but luck could not explain it.

Yiyang's strong body makes his already terrifying defense more tight. People always say that Yiyang's career has reached the peak. However, in fact, this three consecutive MVP, he is still getting stronger!

At this point, the Mavericks finally achieved a ten-game winning streak, completely swept away the shadow of the opening game defeat. The iron shoes of the Dallas Cowboys began to wreak havoc in the league again.

On November 18, Yiyang, who had just finished playing Hayward, immediately met his other university friend. Brad Stevens said that Isaiah Thomas will fight Yiyang to the end.

In the penultimate game of the regular season last season, the fierce battle between the Celtics and the Mavericks has been regarded as a classic. In that game, Stevens used the power of the head coach to the extreme and made people have great expectations for the seventh team in the East.

This season, the Celtics really got rid of the "weak team" image. In the past ten games, Stevens's Celtics have won six! After Isaiah Thomas became the core of Stevens, his performance was also gratifying.

In the past ten games, Thomas, who is only 1.75 meters tall, averaged 22.6 points, 6.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game! He has undoubtedly become a star point guard. Under Stevens's system, Thomas Jr. played even better than last season!

No coach dares to use a guy who is only 1.75 meters tall as the core, but Stevens dares, and he has achieved good results. Just like back then, no one dared to give a full scholarship to a yellow-skinned child. But Stevens just dared, so he created a legend.

Little Thomas's steadily rising, so that everyone is full of expectations for this game. But the facts have proved that the Celtics are far from becoming the Eastern power, and it is not enough to have a little Thomas.

In this game, the Celtics have been struggling to chase points. The points difference between the two sides is not big, basically fluctuating between 4 points to 8 points. But the Celtics couldn't get past the small hurdle anyway, they were kept under the calf. Seeing to catch up, the points difference will be pulled apart again.

Isaiah Thomas' performance today is still gratifying, and he still scored 18 points under the limit of Yiyang, a defensive monster. Of course, the hit rate is only 32%. However, compared to Paul and Harden, Xia Thomas is the best defender who has recently played against Yiyang.

Against Yiyang, as long as a defender's hit rate does not fall below 30%, it is considered a success!

In the end, the Celtics lost. They chased them for 48 minutes, but they just couldn't fill in the tiny gap.

"Coach Stevens should be fortunate that against a team like the Mavericks, losing or losing counts as winning!"

"They only lost 4 points, which is something to be happy about. They only lost 4 points against the Mavericks, which shows that the Celtics are still very good!"

The commentators are all complimenting the Celtics for how good they are, as if the Bostonians were the winner. After all, now, the Mavericks have nothing to say about winning. The Celtics have been able to resist for so long, but it is news.

The strength of the Mavericks has made the entire league accustomed to it.

In the game after November, the Mavericks achieved a series of victories and played a month of victory.

17 consecutive victories, 17 wins and 1 loss, including defeating strong teams such as the Spurs and the Thunder. Of course, Yiyang's defense did not make Westbrook and Tony Parker feel better. 28% and 34% are the shooting percentages of these two guys when they are facing Yiyang.

After the end of November, the Mavericks ranked second in the West. And the number one is the Golden State Warriors with 17 wins and 0 losses! Yiyang did not become the best player in the Western Conference in November, this award was intercepted by Curry!

This result has blown up the entire league! The Mavericks had already achieved such terrible results, but they were still overwhelmed by the Warriors!

"This season, there are two super teams in the league. The Warriors and Mavericks, I can't believe what they will make this league like!"

In one block of ESPN's show, Mike Brin put forward the term "super team". This kind of team is generally far better than other opponents in the league. The Warriors and Mavericks are in this case. The Cavaliers led by James are not included in the category of super teams.

People even predict that there will be an unprecedented two teams with 70+ wins this season!

"As long as the Mavericks and the Warriors stay healthy, I believe this miracle is absolutely possible!"

Mike Brin sprayed a mouthful of poisoned milk, and in the first game of December, the Mavericks fell.

"Dwyane Wade! He covered his knee in pain!"

On December 1, the Dallas Mavericks challenged the Portland Trail Blazers after all the starting five tigers were disintegrated. In the fifth minute of the third quarter of the game, Wade knocked his knee to McCollum when he broke through, and then fell to the ground in pain.

Carlisle sprinkled it angrily. This injury was purely an accident. McCollum cannot be blamed. How long Wade will be injured, he doesn't know. However, judging from Wade's expression, the injury may not be light this time.

Wade still averaged 19 points per game this season, which is the Mavericks' well-deserved number two scoring point. Without an important star, the Mavericks' offensive power is bound to be greatly reduced.

Fortunately, the Mavericks still won this game by 3 points. But what about the next game? Carlisle didn't think he would be lucky forever.

After the game, under Benjamin's careful inspection, the Mavericks officially announced that Wade will be injured for at least 3-4 weeks. "The Flash"'s knees are already extremely fragile. Last season, Wade was able to play 74 games in a healthy and healthy manner, which is already very incredible. You know, in the past five years, Wade basically only played 50-60 games every season. Last season, it was because of Wade's unexpected health that the Mavericks were able to create the myth of 74 wins.

"If I could have a long-term vision in my sophomore year, maybe I won't have so many injuries today. My knee problems basically started at that time. The medical technology and concepts of 12 years ago are completely different from now. At that time, everyone said that I could have a 20-year career, maybe my knee would not be a problem, everyone thought about how to get me back to the court to play. But the fact is... hey... ..."

When facing the reporter's interview, Wade could only sigh helplessly. In the critical moment of chasing the Warriors after a month of injury, Wade was also very unwilling. But injuries, this is something that no one can control.

Sure enough, after losing Wade's second scoring point. On December 4, the Mavericks' undefeated golden status finally broke.

Facing the fierce firepower of the Houston Rockets~www.novelmtl.com~ the Mavericks lacking a second scoring point are somewhat difficult to contend. Although Yiyang scored a season-high 39 points, but one punch was hard to beat, the Mavericks eventually fell to the Toyota Center.

With 18 wins and 2 losses, the Mavericks' winning streak was ended by Harden. The Warriors continued to be proud of the league with a terrifying score of 19 wins and 0 losses! Although the record of 18 wins and 2 losses is still outstanding, but this game still sounded the alarm for Carlisle.

Using Tony Allen in the starting second position, the effect is actually not good. Although this way the Mavericks defense will be very tight, but the offense will only rely on Yiyang and Dirk. Neither Iguodala nor Gobert have too much scoring ability.

The lack of scoring points makes it easy for the Mavericks to be targeted by the opponent. No matter how great Yiyang is, he is not a superman who uses plug-ins. In the face of tight defense, you might ask Yiyang to score 39 points in every game.

Now, Carlisle must take someone out to fill the gap in Wade's absence. If left alone like this, Carlisle believes that after a month they won’t even be able to see the Warriors’ rear lights.

But who is going to play the starting second position? Old Carter? God bless, if Carlisle doesn't want Carter to retire early, it's better not to let him sit in the starting position.

Baezmore? Baezmore did meet the requirements, but his attack power seemed to be a little worse.

Jose Barea's three-pointer is a good match for Yiyang's side, but if this guy plays, defense will become a big problem, and it's not suitable for starting.

Where's Mark? Mark's problem is the same as that of Bazemore, his attack power is not enough.

Looking at it, Carlisle's eyes finally fell on Deron Williams.

After so many years, is this two-point guard starting combination still coming after all?
