Chapter 553
"The team's main player, Dirk Nowitzki, will miss the rest of the regular season due to a sprained ankle and Achilles tendon injury. The specific recovery date is to be determined."

Rick Carlisle said so in the post-match press conference.

Originally, the Mavericks players were happier when the team won, but after this, the atmosphere suddenly froze.

After the game to fly to Dallas, Qin Yang summoned his teammates:

"Don't worry about Dirk's injury. Let's go and see him tomorrow. Everyone will encounter trouble in the next game, but the coach will have countermeasures."

Dirk's injury was the first big crisis for the team.

The Mavericks have not been established for a long time, and the tactics are not enough. The existence of Nowitzki has helped the team share a lot of pressure.

Usually it doesn't show up, because Nowitzki's scoring and other data are very few this season.

But from a tactical perspective, Nowitzki is crucial to the team.

For inside defense, Nowitzki is very important. Gobert is still a little immature and has great potential, but he cannot take on important tasks in a short time.

In terms of attracting defense, besides Qin Yang, Nowitzki is the only one.

If Nowitzki cannot play, Qin Yang will be double-teamed.The team will become more difficult to play.Other players don't think so much, they only think that the next game will be very difficult, but for Qin Yang, there are more problems to think about.

The team has to change.

The next day, all members of the Mavericks went to the hospital to visit Nowitzki.

Nowitzki's injury was serious. When Qin Yang brought his teammates, Dirk was still lying on the bed.

The ankle and Achilles tendon are very important to athletes, and now it is early December, and this injury is likely to affect Nowitzki's appearance in the playoffs.

Cuban and team manager Nelson Jr. are also here.

There was nothing wrong with the team, but before leaving, Nelson stopped Qin Yang. In the corridor outside the ward, there were Cuban and coach Carlisle.

"Bruce, Rick, and Nowitzki were injured, and our internal strength has further declined. I would like to ask your opinions for the next game."

Little Nelson didn't say anything, just asked Qin Yang and coach Rick Carlisle.

Coach Carlisle's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, he remained silent, and turned to look at Qin Yang.Qin Yang frowned and asked:

"Mr. Downey, what is the team's specific opinion? I don't really understand."

Donnie Nelson smiled:

"It's Bruce like this. There are obviously many potential rookies in the draft, including Anthony Davis and others. Nowitzki is injured this year. Our plan to win the championship is a bit difficult. What's more, this year's lineup is not deep enough. Why don't we give others more opportunities to prepare for winning the championship next year."

Cuban didn't speak.

Donnie Nelson is certainly not alone in this opinion.Cuban also agreed, the two will say so.

But coach Rick Carlisle disagreed.

That's why I asked Qin Yang.

Qin Yang is the MVP of the finals and a superstar with super strength. When the team is in a stalemate, Qin Yang's attitude is very important.

"WTF!"

Qin Yang cursed in his heart, the conflict between the team coach and the team uniforms, every team has it, and the Mavericks are no exception.

Qin Yang glanced at the three of them, and said unhurriedly:

"It's okay to train rookies, but there is no contradiction in winning the championship. The team's lineup this season is very good. In the first round of the playoffs, Nowitzki may not be able to play, but in the second round and the Western Conference finals, this year is still the best time to win the championship."

"The Heat's strength has dropped a lot. Bosh and Wade are older. Next year, James will go to a strong team. The Pacers will become stronger and stronger, and the Nuggets will catch up. The Spurs Leonard's performance is getting better and better. If you place your hopes on next season, the team's performance will be even worse next season."

Qin Yang agreed to train the rookies, but the goal is still to win the championship.

……

12 month 11 number.

The Kings host the Warriors.

The Warriors have done well this season.

Stephen Curry is becoming more and more like a superstar, especially in attracting defense. Curry forces most superstars to do well.

In this game, the media is generally not optimistic about the Mavericks.

Nowitzki was injured, and the strength of the Mavericks plummeted.

But in the interview before the game, Stephen Curry dismissed the media's view:
"I don't know what other people think, but...Dallas has Bruce Qin. With him alone, the Mavericks have always been a strong team. I can't say whether the Mavericks have the strength to win the championship, but there is no doubt that they will be a strong team at the playoff level. Such a team, why is it weak?"

Curry gave Qin Yang a firm milk again.

Curry's emotional intelligence is really high.

When Curry was questioned, only Qin Yang stood up to speak for Qin Yang. The famous saying that shooting wins the championship and dunking wins the fans shocked the league even more.

This season, Curry's performance has begun to be superb.

At the beginning of the game, the Mavericks started very special, Gobert, Marion, Vince Carter, Seth Curry and Qin Yang on the outside.

With this lineup, the perimeter defense is scum.

The interior defensive weakness is also obvious.

But ... the Mavericks just adjusted.

As soon as the game started, the team began to play fast break tactics.

Not to mention anything else, just hard work.

Gobert successfully jumped the ball, Qin Yang took the ball directly and accelerated the breakthrough. The first ball was faked and easily scored from the basket. Bogut was more than a step slower and did not dare to pull people.

A pull, definitely a free throw.

Qin Yang's free throw percentage is too disappointing.

The top two free throw players in the league this season are both in the Mavericks. Qin Yang and Calderon both made more than 96% of their free throws, which is the first time in the league.

Warriors attack.

Curry broke through the screen and passed to David Lee.David Lee speeded up, took the ball and dunked in an empty cut, and no one could guard against the basket.

Gobert was a step slower, and the two were not on the same level.

The Warriors' offense is difficult for the Mavericks to defend.

This is impossible.

But Qin Yang didn't panic, he couldn't defend against the Warriors' offense, but the Warriors couldn't defend against the Mavericks' defense either.

Qin Yang began to exert his strength on the offensive end, all kinds of singles outside the Warriors, Barnes was beaten in shame, and the others were helpless.

After scoring continuously, Qin Yang can attract double-teams every time he attacks.

The Warriors had to double-team.

At this time, Seth Curry got a chance, and Gobert even received a pass from Qin Yang and scored several air cuts.

The two teams played brilliantly.

Unfortunately, the Mavericks did not lead.

In this game, Curry was in excellent form, with various strong shots and various breakthroughs.It feels misleading, and maybe Curry hasn't done enough on the defensive end.

But on the offensive end, Curry did impeccable.

The two teams played very well, but the point difference never widened.

At the end of the first half, Qin Yang used a super long-range three-pointer to forcefully hit Curry. The Mavericks also reversed the point difference and led by 2 points.

In the third quarter, Al Jefferson played again.

Al Jefferson is not suitable to play in this game situation, because the Warriors play fast break. At this time, Al Jefferson is playing, and the defensive end is too flawed.
