Chapter 534 Al Jefferson Showing His Power
Thackeray laughed silly when he heard the news.

Al Jefferson was immediately sullen and murmured, "Why am I not the starter? I'm the best player. The starter should be mine."

Al Jefferson's displeasure was unabashed.

Qin Yang rolled his eyes at him and patted his shoulder:

"You're going to get a lot of playing time, but you have to pay attention to your defense. It's okay to have a bad defense, but if you don't pay attention to the defense, you will never be a starter."

As soon as Qin Yang opened his mouth, Al Jefferson fell silent.

Thackeray, who was excited next to him, also lowered his profile a lot. This start made many people upset.

Coach Rick Carlisle even called Thackeray alone, and said in a low voice: "Your task on the court is very simple. Cover for Dirk and Qin Yang, and be ready to dunk and grab rebounds at any time. About 5 minutes into the first quarter, I will replace you."

Thackeray was not dissatisfied, but nodded gratefully.

When Qin Yang said that he would sign Thackeray, no one understood.

But at Cuban's request, manager Donnie Nelson still signed with a basic salary for one year.Anyway, it doesn't affect anything, there is still room in the team lineup.

There is no need to leave a bad impression on Qin Yang because of this.

But when Thackeray did join the team, the benefits appeared.

Although it is a newly established team, the atmosphere inside the team is very good, and it doesn't feel boring at all.Among them, Thackeray is the key.

Although Al Jefferson had objections, he never cast a cold eye on Thackeray, nor did he have conflicts in the locker room.

This is the most magical place in Thackeray.

The game officially begins.

The Mavericks are a combined offensive and defensive team, and the team likes to attack from the outside, combining inside and outside.The team's head coach Rick Carlisle has a deep understanding of offense and defense and is in place. During the team's training games, there are dozens of different tactics.

Tactically, Rick Carlisle is no worse than coach Van Gundy.

Maybe coach Carlisle is slightly worse in terms of defensive adjustments, but he is better offensively.

The team's defensive coach is Devon Casey, who has been recognized by the league in recent seasons, and some teams even want to invite him to be the head coach.

The team's defense is not a problem at all.

At the beginning of the game, Al Horford of the Eagles made a successful jump ball, and Thackeray was obviously not his opponent.

The Mavericks have long expected.

The Eagles attack.

From the very beginning, the Eagles' offense was very chaotic. The starting point guard Jeff Tiger was obviously suppressed by Qin Yang very badly, and he had no power to fight back in front of Qin Yang.

After the ball was passed to Millsap, Millsap played singles and shot Nowitzki.

Nowitzki's defense is not that bad, and this shot is naturally a hit.

Millsap is a free agent this offseason. The Jazz did not choose to continue signing, and other teams did not offer big contracts.

In addition to Millsap's injury, the biggest reason is Millsap's own flaws.

Millsap is similar to Al Jefferson at the power forward position. Although he shocked everyone by scoring 40+20 in the playoffs, flaws are flaws and cannot be made up for.

Few players who can use technology to make up for their shortcomings have been able to do so since the beginning of basketball.

Millsap is no exception.

Last season, Millsap's data dropped sharply, and his average efficiency per game was also very low, so he finally chose to sign with the Eagles.

Thackeray diligently stuck in the basket and pulled the basketball out.

Qin Yang reached for the rebound.

The Mavericks attacked, Qin Yang dribbled the ball outside, Thackeray made a screen directly after halftime, Qin Yang moved to the right.

Jeff Teague chased and gave up Qin Yang, and Kyle Korver also assisted in the defense.

In an instant, the two double-teamed.

But Qin Yang didn't panic, he glanced at Nowitzki who was running in place, and the two of them moved towards the direction of passing the ball between Qin Yang and Nowitzki.

The next moment, Qin Yang made a three-pointer.

fast!
Whoosh!
The basketball seems to be carrying the wind, easily entering the net.

Jeff Teague and Kyle Korver looked stunned. The people who threw the ball were flustered.

Nowitzki's position next to him is very good, and the two cannot help defending the pass.

On the first ball, the Eagles' defense was a little confused.

The Mavericks cheered at home.

Cuban was sitting in the first row of the fan stands. When he saw the ball, he stood up and waved his arms, very happy.

The Eagles attack.

Al Horford leaned against Thackeray inside and made a difficult hook.

Al Horford is playing center, which is surprising.

In fact, although Al Horford is still heavy, he is better at power forward because Horford's various skills are perfect.

Playing center, obviously a little uncomfortable.

Thackeray defended very tightly, but his talent was mediocre, so he couldn't defend well.

The Mavericks attacked, Qin Yang dribbled behind his back and broke through directly.

Kyle Korver assisted in the defense, Qin Yang passed the ball directly, and Nowitzki was directly emptied at the three-point line.

Whoosh!
Nowitzki shot and hit easily.

After hitting the ball, Nowitzki was a little confused.

When defending, they were all slow, and Millsap hit a ball.

Looking back, Qin Yang broke through lightly. Facing Carroll's defense, his rhythm suddenly changed and he easily broke through to the basket.

Nowitzki is in the high post and Millsap is on the post.

Inside Al Horford assisted Qin Yang. Qin Yang didn't rush to end the offense. After clearly opening up the space, Qin Yang threw the basketball over the basket.

Thackeray jumped up, grabbed the basketball and scored a dunk.

This is obvious pancake feeding!
The starter Thackeray scored, and the Eagles were embarrassed.

Millsap wanted to score, but still hit the iron.

No one cares about the Eagles. Al Horford is not good at this, he is not aggressive enough, and he dare not speak out when facing problems.

He is obviously suitable for playing power forward, but he has no complaints when he is forced to play center.

A rookie dares to beat the boss, this game is too difficult to play.

The Mavericks were attacking, and Qin Yang played relaxed and freehand. Nowitzki was on the other side, naturally attracting defense.

There is no one else on the inside except Al Horford.

As long as you break through the basket, it is an easy scoring opportunity.

Outside Marion and Carter can also attract defense, Qin Yang is attacking and passing the ball at the same time, the Eagles can't stop it at all, and Qin Yang pushes him to the ground and beats him fat.

Seven minutes into the game, the Mavericks called a timeout in the lead.

Thackeray was replaced, Marion was replaced by Al Jefferson and Casspi.

As soon as this lineup appears, it will be easier to dispatch.

After halftime, Qin Yang played slowly and attacked in positions.A direct lob to Al Jefferson. Al Jefferson was stuck in position. It was very easy to hit Horford. After being hit, he turned around and made a layup.

Misplaced to attack Millsap, Al Jefferson began to face the frame again.

Al Jefferson's face frame is also a must, and the CIC is extremely accurate.

This flexible and fat guy is the most difficult type of player to deal with.

　In the past two seasons, Al Jefferson's original performance in the Bobcats has exploded, and the memory is still fresh!
