One Guard

Vol 3 Chapter 857: : The third wish

The 2017-2018 season has been in battle for a month and a half. Up to now, there have been so many defeats of the teams, and they have only remained in the single digits.

The Golden State Warriors have a record of 16 wins and 6 losses. The Celtics have a record of 19 wins and 4 losses. The San Antonio Spurs have a good record of 14 wins and 7 losses. The Houston Rockets naturally performed well, with 17 wins and 4 losses. After owning Jimmy Butler, the Minnesota Timberwolves, with 14 wins and 9 losses, barely entered this list.

In the case of a group frenzy in the entire league, many teams that have been vigorously added this summer have achieved good results. But there is only one team in the league, and so far, they have not lost even a game!

This team is the Dallas Mavericks, who have achieved full victories in October and November, and are currently at the start of their 22-game winning streak.

If before the start of the season, let fans and experts choose a team that is likely to reach a 20-game winning streak start, people may choose the Warriors, the Rockets or even the Thunder. But absolutely no one will have anything to do with the Dallas Mavericks.

After the Mavericks crashed into the sand last year, the problem of the old lineup has been exposed. Apart from Hayward's joining this summer, the Mavericks have not attracted any other superstars. After all, it is a public enemy of the whole people, and the stars want to defeat the Mavericks more than to join them. At that time, most people believed that the Mavericks had no chance of winning in the terrifying Western World.

However, the Mavericks stupefied by relying on the strength of the draft, so that the team once again has the league's top strong team. Many teams have been rebuilt through the draft, but it is very rare to directly turn the team into a championship candidate through the draft. The Dallas Mavericks are one of them.

When Yiyang said the sentence "This is very close to the ultimate form of the Mavericks", the whole world was waiting to see Yiyang's joke. But Yiyang sealed everyone's mouth with a wave of 22 consecutive victories.

With hot superstars, potential rookies, experienced veterans, and a coach who can connect them together, the Mavericks have almost all the factors necessary for success. The 22-game winning streak is the best proof, but it will never be the highest limit for the Mavericks.

On December 6, the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Denver Nuggets after losing Mudiay 122 to 105 at home. The Nuggets had no resistance in this game. After Nirvana's rebirth, Mudiay scored a season-high 23 points in this game, which can be regarded as an explanation to the old club.

Of course, the most exciting thing today is not Mudiay's 23 points, nor Yiyang's 30 points and 12 assists. But after this game, the Dallas Mavericks officially surpassed the Golden State Warriors and won a 25-game winning streak, creating a new best start record in the history of the NBA and the entire North American Sports League!

"Under the influence of teams like the Warriors and Mavericks, these records seem to have become less valuable. In the past 100 years, this best start record has not been broken. But in recent years, these record numbers But it changes frequently.” Mike Brin summed up these words after the game, which made many fans feel the same.

Is the difficulty of breaking these records lower? No, the difficulty is not small at all. But now the Dallas Mavericks are really too strong.

It wasn't until the 25-game winning streak that the Dallas Mavericks' unbeaten status finally broke. After facing the revenge of the Boston Celtics in the next game, the Mavericks ushered in their first defeat of the season by 7 points.

The Celtics and Mavericks played well in this game, but the Celtics themselves are an excellent team, so it is normal to win.

But now that the Mavericks lose again, no one will stand up and say they are not. Played 26 games, equivalent to one-third of the schedule has passed, and the Mavericks only lost one. There is really nothing to say about such achievements. It is normal to lose a game in the regular season.

Losing to the Celtics, the Mavericks only gave the league a short respite. In the next game in December, the Mavericks continued to kill the Quartet, until the last day of December, after the Mavericks defeated the Thunder for the third time this season, their record has become 35 wins and 2 losses. After the game in December, only two games were lost. What is this concept?

A very simple comparison, the Houston Rockets, ranked second in the West, won ten games less than the Mavericks, the number one! In this year's regular season, the Dallas Mavericks are destined to thrive.

For Christmas this year at Mudiay’s house, Yiyang made three wishes in total. One is to protect the health of the family, and the other is to be able to thrive. As for the third one, Yiyang didn't tell others, but hid it in his heart.

Time comes to 2018, and like most teams, the Dallas Mavericks have also begun to suffer injuries. Kyle Kuzma, Donovan Mitchell, Dirk Nowitzki and Gobert have all suffered injuries of varying degrees. For a time, the Mavericks fell into a state where no one was available. A large-scale injury outbreak caught the Mavericks off guard. Cuban and Carlisle had to sign a bunch of ten-day short contracts from the Development League and the free agent market to let them act as firefighters character of.

But fortunately, most of these people's injuries are staggered. Kuzma just returned when Mitchell was injured. When Gobert was injured, Mitchell happened to be back again.

Although in January, the Mavericks lost a few more games. But under the attack of injuries, they survived after all. With 45 wins and 6 losses, the Mavericks still lost only four games in the next month when the lineup lacked hands and feet, and the four games were lost to strong teams such as the Warriors, Rockets, Raptors and Trail Blazers. The performance of the Mavericks Not bad. And the result of 45 wins and 6 losses also allowed them to maintain their league's top ranking.

In February, the Mavericks finally got a chance to breathe, because the All-Star Weekend in February can stop the NBA's fighting for a few days.

At this time, the shadow of injury is slowly fading, and after the Mavericks' lineup becomes complete, it can already be described as shining stars.

Donovan Mitchell, the 13th pick, averaged 21.4 points per game at this time, ranking first in the rookie scoring list. He was selected for the Rookie Game, Skills Challenge, and replaced Magic forward Aaron Go in the dunk contest during the All-Star Weekend, which can be said to be a busy man during the All-Star Weekend. And his 21.4 points per game also made him a veritable No. 2 scorer for the Mavericks.

Gordon Hayward averaged 19.6 points per game, ranking third in the team. But on the field, his cold-blooded three-pointers and the tacit understanding that Yiyang has cultivated long ago have allowed him to stabilize his position as the second master.

As for Gobert, this year he followed Yiyang to be selected to the Western Conference All-Star team, and has been ranked among the top three in the forecast of the best defensive player of the year.

Of course, you can't forget Kuzma and Mudiay. Kyle Kuzma’s 16.2 points per game has allowed him, Mitchell and Ben Simmons to compete fiercely for the best rookie award. And Mudiay's 12.3 points, 4.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game make him a veritable sixth-man role.

The Mavericks are developing on the trajectory envisioned by Chao Yiyang and Carlisle, waiting for the playoffs. Everything should be exactly the same as expected.

This year's All-Star Weekend, the biggest star is Mitchell. After winning the slam dunk contest, the rookie guard's name has increasingly appeared on the headlines of major news websites and newspapers.

The dunk contest itself is a perfect stage for people to quickly become famous. Just look at Aaron Gordon's sudden increase in jersey sales and playing time after the dunk contest in the past few years. You know how important the dunk contest is to the development of fame.

The names of Yiyang and Mitchell are increasingly being discussed together. The same belongs to the Mavericks, the same defender, who also paid tribute to the team's veteran Carter in the dunk contest and won the championship, and also played famous under the circumstances of little-known... People were surprised to find that Mitchell was in harmony. Yang are two completely different players, but their career trajectories are surprisingly similar.

If Mitchell can achieve his wish this year to win the championship, it would be a re-enactment of Yiyang's career.

This year's All-Star Weekend, the Mavericks became the team with the largest number of players, which naturally made the Mavericks the focus of attention. Of course, what makes the Mavericks hot is not only the All-Star Weekend, but also that they once again played a month of victory in February!

55 wins and 6 losses, the collective explosion of all the Mavericks, let them play a wave of 10 wins and 0 losses in February. The discussion now is not whether the Mavericks will be caught up by the Rockets, but whether they can break the single-season record of 74 wins created by themselves!

Unfortunately, in March, the Mavericks guard of the penalty zone Rudy Gobert fell again due to a sprained knee ligament. The last time I was injured was because of this old problem, I didn't expect to relapse so soon.

This time, the Mavericks were not so lucky. The team doctor Benjamin evaluated Gobert as an injury for 1-3 months, which means that if everything goes well, Gobert is likely to be able to return to the playoffs. Up.

Gobert's unoptimistic injury undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to the Mavericks. But in the end, Yiyang still relied on the god-level data of 35.8 points, 12.2 assists and 2.8 steals per game in March to make up for Gobert's gap, allowing the Mavericks to lose only one goal a month! Without Gobert's defensive strength, the Mavericks will use offense to make up ~www.novelmtl.com~ In the regular season, the aggressive offense is enough to kill most of their opponents.

68 wins and 7 losses, the regular season is still half a month away, but the Mavericks have won 68 games. With 7 games left, if the Mavericks win all, they will once again refresh the NBA's record for most wins in a single season. But even if it doesn't win, the Mavericks will get another 70+ win season is still a sure thing.

But the Mavericks and Yiyang have never turned a blind eye to honor. In April, the last 7 games of the NBA regular season. The Mavericks defeated the Trail Blazers, Magic, Pistons, 76ers, Suns, Cavaliers and Wizards, and a series of 7 consecutive victories, giving the NBA a new historical record!

From the Bulls' 72 wins to the Mavericks' 74 wins breaking the record, there was a gap of more than ten years. From 74 wins to the latest 75 wins, the Mavericks only took four years!

The record printer has become a new nickname for the Mavericks.

After finishing the final game of the regular season with his friend Wall, Yiyang knelt on the floor in excitement and kissed the Mavericks logo on the hardwood floor to celebrate another great season that can be recorded in history.

From the setbacks of last season to the return of the king this season, only Yiyang knows the difficulty. As the enemy of the whole people and unable to recruit stars, they survived. Let the rookies adapt to the rhythm of the NBA, and they survived. They have survived the widespread injury.

At this time, Yiyang suddenly recalled the scene of Christmas Eve with his family at Mudiay's house during Christmas.

For Christmas this year at Mudiay’s house, Yiyang made three wishes in total. One is to protect the health of the family, and the other is to be able to thrive. As for the third wish... it is to win the NBA championship again!
