One Guard

Chapter 715: All are supported by peers

"This month has been very hard for everyone, very hard. We played several back-to-back games, which was very difficult. But we got through it, and we are still the best team in the league! Here, I want to thank those who said We are about to experience a trough media and pundits. Without your stupid comments, our 11-game winning streak would not be as great!"

In the media reception room of the Amway Center, home of the Magic, Yiyang expressed his sincere "thank you" to the media experts.

The media reporters in the audience all smiled awkwardly, but Yiyang smiled brightly.

The whole month of January has been so fucking fun!

※※※

Turning the time back to January 7, the rapid addition of Shelvin Mark greatly improved the Mavericks' bench strength. With him in the Mavericks' lineup, Carlisle's rotation can also be more flexible.

This game against the Pistons has allowed Mark to fully integrate into the team. Mark, who has been in many teams, has long become a jack-of-all-trades. Given a chance, this guy will perform.

After the game, people were full of praise for Cuban's operation. But 24 hours ago, almost no one was optimistic about this signing. Mark silenced all the media in just one night.

"What a wonderful night!" After the game, facing the reporters' microphones, Shervin Mark showed a smile that he couldn't easily show.

Although Mark's joining only cost Cuban a few hundred thousand dollars, it was worth every penny. Facts have proved that the Mavericks' record has become more stable because of the emergence of a small figure.

As a result, in the entire month of January, the Mavericks only lost one game in total!

After two days of rest after defeating the Pistons, the Mavericks flew to Los Angeles to challenge the Clippers away from home on January 10.

The Los Angeles Clippers are undoubtedly one of the Mavericks' mortal enemies. Every time the Clippers meet the Mavericks in the playoffs, they are destined to not get any good results.

Chris Paul and Yiyang, Griffin and Dirk, these two groups have sparks every time they play against each other.

It is precisely because of this relationship that the Clippers are very exciting every time they play the Mavericks. Today is no exception. Paul and Griffin have even pushed the level of confrontation to the playoff level!

Griffin performed brilliantly today. He made great achievements at the basket and in the mid-range. His 73.3% shooting rate was the highest in the history of his games with the Mavericks!

Today, Griffin is simply unstoppable. In the paint, Griffin has some low-post skills and is no longer just a head-on opponent.

In the mid-range, Griffin's accuracy is also better. Coupled with Paul's exquisite passing, Griffin was simply a perfect scoring machine today.

It is worth mentioning that Griffin's organizational skills on the court are surprising. It's not unusual for LeBron James to be able to organize offense. But Blake Griffin, a "silly big guy", can also organize an offense, which makes Yiyang feel a little incredible.

You have to admit that Griffin's passing and ball-handling abilities are indeed relatively good at the fourth position. There were even several scenes today of Griffin personally controlling the ball for half the court.

Therefore, Griffin produced an impressive statistic of almost a triple-double today. He scored 22 points on 11-of-15 shooting, 6 assists and 7 rebounds. After all these years, Blake Griffin finally stepped out of Nowitzki's shadow.

Under the guidance of Griffin and Paul, everyone on the Clippers team played extremely efficiently. Six players on the team scored in double figures, and five of them shot over 45% from the field. With such high efficiency, it is not easy for the Clippers to lose today.

On the Mavericks side, the players actually performed normally. Unfortunately, the Clippers were so awesome today, so they had to lose by five points in the end.

115 to 120, Yiyang had 29 points, 11 assists and 4 rebounds, but still could not stop the crazy Clippers.

Clippers snap Mavericks' nine-game winning streak,

At the same time, it also became the fourth team in the league to be "lucky" to defeat the Mavericks this season.

After the game, Paul and Griffin hugged and roared with excitement, as if they had won the O'Brien Trophy.

For the Mavericks, this may just be an ordinary regular season game. But for the Clippers, being able to defeat the Mavericks means too much to them.

Just after winning against the Pistons, they lost to the Clippers, and the Mavericks were instantly pushed to the forefront. During the start of the Mavericks' 22-game winning streak, many experts predicted that the Mavericks would usher in a low period in January.

According to their analysis, the Mavericks players will be very tired during this period, and injuries will begin to break out.

The Mavericks' five-game winning streak in January initially made these experts nervous for a while. But now after losing to the Clippers, his statement has undoubtedly been "fulfilled."

But it's a pity that the Mavericks led by Yiyang have never been the kind of "good boys" who would obediently cooperate with the media.

"The low point? We played 40 games and only lost 4 of them. In this way, anyone dares to say that we have entered the low point? Haha, just wait, time will prove who is the clown."

After the game, Yiyang was very tough in the reporters' response to the "experts", but he also received a lot of criticism. Some people think that Yiyang is just a stubborn duck.

However, no one could imagine it. The loss to the Clippers on January 10 was really the only game the Mavericks lost in January!

Since then, the Dallas Mavericks have continued to wreak havoc!

They faced the Kings on January 13, and faced the Nuggets twice in a row on the 14th and 16th. Against these two teams outside the top eight in the Western Conference, the Mavericks did not encounter any resistance and easily won three consecutive victories.

It is worth mentioning that in the game on the 16th, Nowitzki suffered ankle discomfort after the game and needed to rest for five days.

Injuries caused by this kind of fatigue will inevitably occur every season, and Carlisle has no good solution.

And those experts who predicted that the Mavericks would fall into a trough cheered. Now, it’s time for the Mavericks to fall!

Fuck you big-headed devil!

On January 19, Yiyang led the Mavericks, who lacked Dirk and Barea, on an expedition to Memphis. Before the game, the media overwhelmingly believed that the Grizzlies could defeat the Mavericks, whose lineup was incomplete.

As a result, Yiyang and Wade scored 55 points together, causing the Grizzlies' defense to be overwhelmed. Aminu, who started in place of Dirk, also performed well, making 4 of 7 three-pointers and scoring 16 points!

Coupled with Shelvin Mack's 12 points off the bench, the Grizzlies were simply unable to resist such powerful firepower. Everyone in the Mavericks lineup is starting to play a role, and this is why Carlisle and Cuban introduced them in the first place.

Every player on the Mavericks is carefully selected to be the most suitable for the team. When the team needs them, they are absolutely duty-bound!

103 to 95, the Mavericks defeated the Grizzlies in an away game and won four consecutive games.

"Work harder, we almost failed!" Facing the malicious reporters in Memphis, Yiyang smiled brightly.

The following three teams, the Timberwolves, Bulls and Pelicans, the Mavericks also passed all the way, winning three games in a row, turning the winning streak into seven games.

Among them, the Timberwolves were completely slaughtered. Although Rose scored 20 points in the Bulls game, Dirk, who came back, used 66% shooting and 24 points to team up with Yiyang to once again destroy the former Windy City Rose.

In the Pelicans game, "Big Eyebrow Brother" Anthony Davis brought a lot of trouble to the Mavericks. With 28 points and 10 rebounds, Nowitzki had nothing to do with this young man.

Maybe in the future, the Pelicans and Davis will become the old enemies of Yiyang and the Mavericks. But right now, they're not threatening enough.

When Dirk was suppressed by Davis and Wade failed to perform at his best. Yiyang, a perimeter player, scored 36 points with a shooting percentage of 60%, which was 16 percentage points higher than Davis. He taught Davis what it means to be a true super scorer.

With 36 points and 8 assists, the Mavericks narrowly defeated the Pelicans 110-106 and continued their winning streak!

At this time, experts began to panic.

The entire month of January has been played so far, and the Mavericks still have four games left to play. If they continue to win these four games, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the experts themselves?

I vowed before that the Mavericks would go through a downturn, but they only lost one game a month. In this case, who will believe what they say in the future?

But what these "experts" are thankful for is that in the last four games of the Mavericks in January, both teams played back-to-back games. Moreover, two of these opponents are quite capable.

After the Mavericks faced their "old friends" the Grizzlies at home on January 27, they immediately rushed to Houston non-stop to battle the Rockets.

After two games and a day off, the Mavericks will go to the Eastern Conference to challenge the Heat and Magic in consecutive away games.

5 days, 4 games. Carlisle can now call the league office with a smile and yell at him. He has encountered this kind of thing four games in five days so many times this season!

Everyone is waiting for the Mavericks to lose in a dense game. With such a schedule, it is not impossible for them to lose four games in a row. In this way, the reputations of those "experts" can be preserved. But the Mavericks' tenacity is beyond everyone's imagination.

On January 27, the game between the Mavericks and the Grizzlies was extremely intense. The "Black and White Bears" inside the Grizzlies both played very aggressively. The two shot from left to right, causing the Mavericks' defense to almost collapse.

In addition, Courtney Lee's three consecutive three-pointers in the third quarter allowed the Grizzlies to lead by as much as 12 points.

But in the fourth quarter, Yiyang stepped forward when everyone else was exhausted. He single-handedly led a 12-0 offensive climax and tied the score difference.

After that, the morale-boosted Mavericks pursued the victory, gaining a 6-point lead 30 seconds before the end of the game and maintaining it until the end.

"It's impossible for a Mavericks team like this to lose." After the game, Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger shook his head. The Grizzlies did their best, but the Mavericks' resilience is too scary.

This may be the difference between the defending champions and other teams.

But one wave came after another, and after exhausting themselves in the game against the Grizzlies, the Mavericks couldn't resist the back-to-back Rockets anyway!

Although the Rockets are injured now, Harden and Josh are enough for the Mavericks to have a good drink.

It turns out that this game was indeed tough. Wade and Dirk are both playing hard, and it is indeed a bit too much to go through such a high-intensity back-to-back with two old guys in the middle of the season.

But the Rockets didn't take any advantage throughout the game, because today, Yiyang scored a season-high 49 points!

The Rockets are thankful that they gave up resistance in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter. Otherwise, it is not impossible for Yiyang to break his career-high 60-point record today.

Yiyang carried the whole game by himself, letting Harden know the difference between himself and top guards.

After all, Harden's 17 points today are nothing compared to 49 points.

The Mavericks survived this grueling back-to-back schedule in incredible fashion, leaving all the experts with their mouths hanging open.

"The Dallas Mavericks are cursed by God, cursed that they cannot lose the game!" Mike Breen's evaluation of the Mavericks after the game has become one of the classic quotes in NBA history.

Even the Western Conference survived a back-to-back, so how could the Eastern Conference defeat the Mavericks and Yiyang in a back-to-back?

The Heat and Magic did not bring any trouble to the Mavericks. Two big wins allowed the Mavericks to end all their games in January.

Since losing to the Clippers on January 10, the Mavericks have not believed in fate and won 11 consecutive victories!

In January, he won 16 out of 17 games and his record became 47 wins and 4 losses! The "low period" of the Mavericks is really amazing!

"This month has been very hard for everyone, very hard. We played several back-to-back games, which was very difficult. But we got through it, and we are still the best team in the league! Here, I want to thank those who said We are about to experience a trough media and pundits. Without your stupid comments, our 11-game winning streak would not be as great!"

In the media reception room of the Amway Center, home of the Magic, Yiyang expressed his sincere "thank you" to the media experts.

But they couldn't smile when they faced the MVP's gratitude...
