Chapter 749 Unfortunate News
The 34-game winning streak is just the beginning.
The Mavericks are still in full swing.The state of the team is not too bullying, the rotation policy is implemented very well, and the role players are very eager to play.
On January 1, the Mavericks played against the Wizards at home.The Wizards are really strong.
Team boss John Wall performed very well.This year is on the leaderboard of the league's point guards.Wall is in the top three.This is a very good ranking.
In the past few seasons, point guard talents have emerged in large numbers in the league.The days of Chris Paul and Deron Williams are over.Qin Yang, Stephen Curry, John Wall, Kelly Irving, Millard, James Harden, Russell Westbrook and other point guards are all superstars.
These point guard superstars have become the hottest players in the league and are very strong.about
Hanwall's ability to rank third is enough to explain everything.
John Wall is very strong, and the key is to be very balanced.
Except for Qin Yang, the defense of other point guards is a big problem.While they have helped the team a lot on the offensive end, the defensive end has also become the team's biggest loophole.
For example, James Harden, Stephen Curry, Kelly Irving and others, even Russell Westbrook with a better defensive evaluation is just the impression of fans.
In fact, Wall made great progress after losing the battle against Qin Yang.In the past two seasons, Wall's off the ball has become better and better, and the defensive end has been as stable as ever.
John Wall's height is 1 meters.Higher than other point guards, with strength and speed, he finally has an advantage in the league, even if he is misplaced to defend shooting guards and small forwards.
Among the point guards in the NBA, John Wall is the only one who dares to face Qin Yang.
The other point guards didn't dare to do this at all, because they would be kicked out by Qin Yang.
The Wizards are not weak. In addition to Wall, there are Bradley and Gortat.Gortat once again proved a truth.
Bruce's former teammates, after leaving, although their performance will decline, they will not be bad.
This stalk has also become one of the unsolved mysteries of the league.
Similar to the former Rockets players, it is puzzling.
Of course, the focus of this game is not the duel between Qin Yang and John Wall, nor is it that the game was won easily, but that Kevin Durant stepped on Gortat's foot and sprained his ankle when he jumped up to shoot in the second quarter.
The postgame press conference said Durant was absent.
Until the next day, the Mavericks officially issued an announcement: Kevin Durant suffered a sprained ankle and will miss at least the next two weeks.
This is unfortunate news.
Los Angeles News: "Durant's injury is a very surprising thing, but it is an opportunity for other teams in the NBA. In this way, it will be difficult for the Mavericks to break the record ability of 72 wins."
New York News:
"Just after breaking their 33-game winning streak, Kevin Durant sprained his ankle and the Mavericks may be on a losing streak when they're out for at least two weeks."
TNT news:
"How important is Kevin Durant? This season, Durant averaged 20.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, and his shooting percentage exceeded 50%. This efficiency ranks second in the league. Without Kevin Durant, the Mavericks, the team's strength is bound to decline."
Fox News:
"During Kevin Durant's injury, Bruce needed to lead the team's offense alone."
Although the Mavericks won 35 consecutive victories, but then because of Durant's absence.The next game will become extremely difficult.
The NBA is not a one-man sport.35 games before.Durant contributed a lot to the team's victory.The efficiency of Qin Yang and Durant is very high, which is the root cause of the victory.
In this case, on January 1, the Mavericks played against the Suns at home.
The Suns have been weak these years, but last year they selected rookie Devin Booker in the draft, and Devin Booker performed surprisingly well, scoring 20 or 30+ points in his rookie season.
The Suns seem to have a tendency to use Devin Booker as a core training.
In this game, Devin Booker scored 31 points.However... rubbish time to brush data, even if you get 70 points, so what?
Halftime entered garbage time, and the Suns had a problem with their selection.
Over the years, the Suns have become obsessed with bombardment. It seems that they don't know how to play any tactics except bombardment.Even with Blood Cloth and the boxing champion around, he still mainly plays fast break, which hurts a lot.
After an easy win over the Suns, the Mavericks' schedule isn't looking good.
On January 1, the Mavericks played away against the Eagles.
The Eagles have strengthened this season. Although Al Horford left, they added former MVP Howard, and their strength did not decline too much.
It's just that the Eagles obviously don't go well with Howard.
The Eagles are playing the Princeton tactic, which requires good shooting ability inside, but Howard's shooting ability is basically zero.
Fortunately, the current players of the Eagles are not bad at shooting, so the tactics are barely playing.
But the Eagles give people the feeling that they are not strong against weak teams and not weak against strong teams.
As soon as the game started, the Eagles took the lead at home.
Schroeder played well, feeling hot and scoring consecutively.
Seth Curry, who started the game, became a weakness, and Schroeder targeted the singles.
Kevin Durant was injured and the team's offense was affected. At this time, it is inevitable for Seth Curry to strengthen his offense.
But Seth Curry performed well when he was off the bench, but when he started, he was not good.
The offense didn't come out, Schroeder didn't defend one after another, and the defensive end was very poor, and Schroeder scored consecutively in singles.
In the opening 6 minutes, the Mavericks called a timeout.
After the timeout, Carlisle hesitated for a moment and looked at Qin Yang.Qin Yang shook his head, coach Carlisle did not change.
Substitution at this time is a huge blow to Seth Curry.
"Next, Bruce will increase his offense with the ball and pay attention to pick-and-roll tactics." Coach Carlisle didn't say anything else, emphasizing the tactics.
Game back.
Qin Yang took the ball, and it was Sefoloza who defended Qin Yang.
In recent years, Qin Yang has been one of the most offensive guards in the league, and defending Qin Yang is also a topic that every team in the league needs to study.
Among the defensive players facing Qin Yang, Kawhi Leonard performed the best, followed by Sefoloza and others.
Of course, defending Qin Yang is not something that a single player can solve.
Like defending most superstars, the team must formulate special tactics in order to defend Qin Yang. The outside line is marked by someone, the defense can be switched at any time, and the inside must be protected by someone to defend.
Relatively speaking, Howard and Sefolosha are relatively successful players in defending Qin Yang.
Sefolosa is a little over two meters tall, a little lower than Qin Yang, and has almost the same strength and speed as Qin Yang, with almost no disadvantages.
In this case, it is more appropriate to defend Qin Yang.
If this kind of defensive player defends Qin Yang, then his teammates will definitely be able to displace Schroeder in singles. This is a good opportunity. After all, other positions are dislocated by the opposite 185cm point guard, and it is easy to score.
Too bad it was Seth Curry.
Therefore, Qin Yang can only fight alone.
Singles is not an efficient offensive method.
But Qin Yang is right.
On the first ball, Nurkic made a screen, Qin Yang easily pulled the ball and shot directly.
Whoosh!
A three-pointer was hit.
Well, it's delicious.
