basketball superstar

Chapter 702 Easily crushed, vying to be smashed

Jokic is arrogant and has a big temper.

If you perform well at a young age, you need to get a big contract, ask for the status of the team, ask the team to end the contract after the second year, and give yourself a big contract.

It's just plain funny.

Jokic is also really a superstar embryo, but he moves extremely slowly and is not good at defending the inside line. He really cannot be the core of the team.

Maybe Jokic would be a very good choice to be a second-in-command with peace of mind, but Jokic is not such a person.

This is bound to be a fruitless answer.

So, this transaction happened.

Not right or wrong, just inappropriate.

But when Jokic said this, the game gave another meaning.This game has therefore received more attention.The conflict between the player and his predecessor is the best thing to watch.

The media reported frantically, and Qin Yang was also interviewed.

Qin Yang:

"Jokic and Nurkic are both very good inside players. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Jokic is more talented and more comprehensive, but for the Mavericks, Nurkic is more suitable for the team's tactics and is more suitable for partnering with us, so our choice is not wrong."

"It's just an ordinary game and nothing else, so I won't comment on it. The Nuggets are a strong team and we won't take it lightly."

The Nuggets are really strong.

But there is no suspense that this game is destined to lose, because the Nuggets' own thinking has changed.

The Nuggets' starting insiders are Nurkic and Darko Milicic. This starting insider is very embarrassing. Nurkic has to ask for it every time and needs the ball to play. Darko is the team leader and also needs the ball.

In this way, the two insiders are tactically incompatible.

Others are harder to beat.

If the ball is not allocated well, the team's offense will be chaotic.

On the defensive end, Jokic's existence has dragged down the Nuggets. Such a weakness has appeared in the whole team, and the Mavericks played more easily.

Qin Yang made a breakthrough, shot directly from mid-range, and hit Jokic three times in a row.

Jokic looked helpless, the Nuggets called a timeout, and when the timeout came back, the Mavericks began to change tactics again. The Nuggets' defense was chaotic and completely unstable.

The departure of George Karl this year has caused a lot of waves for the Nuggets.

Although Mike Malone took over the coach quickly, his control of the team dropped by [-]%.

Team competition, harmony and cohesion within the team are always more important than individual abilities.The Nuggets were visibly distraught.This season, the Nuggets started to fall behind.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Qin Yang once again secured the victory with a three-pointer.

Nurkic rarely faced Jokic in the game, and the statistics were even worse, but the team won easily.

On February 2, they played against the Timberwolves at home.

In the first quarter, the Mavericks led 42-24 and directly beat the Timberwolves.

Although Karl-Anthony Towns of the Timberwolves made 6 of 4 shots and scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, the Mavericks played well, shooting 25 of 17 shots, directly opening up the point difference.

One section, it is time to enter garbage time.

That's pretty naughty.

In this way, the February game is over. After the All-Star Break, the Mavericks have won five consecutive games and immediately increased their record.

Although there is still some distance from the end of the regular season, there is no doubt that the Mavericks will definitely enter the playoffs in the next game.

Many teams preparing to snipe the Mavericks have extinguished the idea.

Unless Qin Yang misses 70.00% of the regular season, it is too difficult not to let the Mavericks enter the playoffs.

The next game also proved this point.

In the fourteen games from March 3 to March 1, the Mavericks won 3 games.

Among them, the Trail Blazers won a game against Qin Yang, Lillard was in superb form, McCollum also played very well, the Mavericks were in poor form, Qin Yang was constantly beaten by Al Aminu's defense, and in the last minute, Qin Yang failed in the lore and lost the chance to comeback.

The Warriors also won one.

The Splash Brothers said they were going against the sky.Klay Thompson and Curry are in excellent form. They scored 40 and 41 points respectively, and they are in surprisingly good condition.

In addition, Drummond Green is 9 of 7 and feels hot.

This game was impossible to play, Qin Yang was replaced at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the Mavericks conceded early.

If the Warriors are in such a good state every game, then the game is really impossible to play.

In addition, the Mavericks won all other games.

The game in April was even better than in March.

In recent years, the gap between strong teams and weak teams in the NBA has become wider and wider. Many teams have had miserable victories. In addition, next year is the year of the draft, and many teams have begun to perform poorly. This year, NBA President Adam Silva publicly expressed that the teams are not slow to perform poorly. He said that new policies will be introduced in the future to curb this kind of regulation.

The NBA does not have a regular secondary league, and there is no relegation or relegation, so no one cares about the poor performance.

In next year's draft, there will be many potential rookies participating, and teams such as the 76ers and Lakers are frantic and have no integrity.

What Zijin aristocrats, when it came to the critical moment, also deliberately lost.

The NBA is a business league, without exception.

After winning [-] games in March, the Mavericks have won [-] games, so in the next April games, they only need to win three games to enter the playoffs.

So how to play the next game is very important.

In the team's internal meeting, the Mavericks coaching staff was very controversial.

Coach Rick Carlisle believes that we should strive for the best ranking, so that the game will be played better: "This year's western teams are very close. We are not far behind the Rockets, Trail Blazers, Grizzlies, and even the Clippers. Therefore, we can try to compete for No.4, so that we will have more home court advantage."

Home field advantage is a good thing, very important in the playoffs.

A team with home court advantage tends to preemptively strike in the playoffs.

But the team's assistant coach, Luke Walton, disagreed.

Luke Wharton is a newcomer, but his ideas are very bold and innovative. He has made great achievements in the team's offensive and defensive tactics, but sometimes he is too bold and his ability to control the team is not strong.

Luke Wharton:

"We can choose to become No.7 in the Western Conference. In this way, we can play against the Spurs in the playoffs. The strongest team in the Western Conference this year is the Warriors. We will play well against the Warriors before the finals. At the same time, we can also hone the players' status, which is more conducive to winning the championship."

No one else in the team has much opinion.

Coach Carlisle is a little vacillating, and Luke Walton is right, but the first round against the Spurs always gives people a very unreliable feeling.

The strength of the Spurs is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

For more than ten years, the Spurs have never made the playoffs after selecting rookie Duncan. They have won three championships and can be called a super strong team. It takes a lot of courage to choose the Spurs in the first round.

At this time, Qin Yang stood up.
