One Guard

In the last 33 seconds of the game, James Harden had to continue to suffer on the court. The reason is simple. The Rockets have a battalion of wounded soldiers and no one can replace him.

When Harden hit his sixth shot of the day over Carter and scored a game-high 26 points, he felt no joy at all.

In the last 33 seconds of the game, the Rockets were still 12 points behind. This kind of point difference really makes Harden unhappy no matter what.

In fact, Harden's efficiency today was pretty good, making 6 of 14 shots and a shooting percentage of 42.9%. He made 3 of 5 three-pointers and successfully got himself 13 free throw opportunities. Relying on free throws, Harden scored 11 points.

But his somewhat "mediocre" performance could not allow the Rockets to defeat the Mavericks. What's more, McHale's weird formation didn't help Harden.

Motiejunas, as an inside man, made only 3 of 8 shots. Josh Smith came on as a substitute and took more shots than Harden. Of course, the hit rate is even lower.

"Garbage Dog" Beverley has been out of form since being knocked down by Yiyang today. He made 1 of 7 shots from the field and couldn't even make a three-pointer from a wide open space. He was also blocked by Mark several times.

As for former No. 1 pick candidate Terrence Jones, he was considered an all-around forward like Odom in college. He can control the ball, pass the ball, defend and shoot. But after arriving in the NBA, he became omnipotent. This seems to be a common problem among most NCAA all-around forwards. Bennett, the No. 1 pick last year, was also in the same situation.

He only scored 9 points in 30 minutes, which obviously did not meet McHale's expectations of him.

When the electronic buzzer sounded that signaled the end of the game, both Harden and McHale felt a sense of relief. This damn game is finally over!

Before the game started, the Rockets were excited to knock the Mavericks down. And now, they just want to leave Dallas!

"The game is over, 111 to 100. Dallas defeated the Houston Rockets in back-to-back battles! After this game, the Houston Rockets have fallen to sixth place in the Western Conference. There is no doubt that this record is definitely not in line with the Rockets' expectations. of."

Barkley looked at the court in disbelief and could see that the Mavericks were exhausted. Although Carlisle's rotation was very exquisite, they were undoubtedly still very tired after playing two overtimes yesterday.

But they persisted and defeated the Rockets, who had been resting for eight days. Perhaps, this is the role of the championship heart of the Mavericks players.

"Iguodala had 13 points, Dirk had 12 points, Wade had 13 points, Gobert had 10 points, Aminu had 17 points, Mark had 12 points, Bazemore had 13 points, and he had 22 points. You have to admit, the two The gap in the depth of the team's lineup is huge. Under Yi's cohesion, everyone on the Mavericks can make an impact as soon as they come up. Coach Carlisle blurred the line between starting and benching today. There is no doubt that this is A very successful move."

"Eight people scored in double figures, which is really an amazing result. I really want to hear what coach McHale thinks of this game." O'Neal laughed evilly. McHale looked relaxed before the game started, but He was impressed.

McHale was walking towards the tunnel with his head lowered, but unfortunately, he could not escape the "hunt" of reporters.

The TNT reporter who interviewed him before the game came to the door again and blocked McHale's way.

At this time, compared with the handsome old man who was smiling before the game, McHale looked like a drowned dog.

"We meet again, Coach McHale. It seems that the Rockets did not play well tonight."

McHale smiled awkwardly at the camera, but secretly cursed this damn reporter!

"Before the game started, you said you would be the winner. So what went wrong today and prevented you from becoming the winner?"

"The Mavericks played better than we thought,

But our own performance was worse than expected, that's all. "After McHale finished answering, he "escaped" from the scene in despair.

"Next time, maybe that guy McHale won't utter wild words before the game." Looking at McHale's dejected appearance off the court, Barkley smiled.

This guy may be good at basketball, but as a coach... Barkley feels that maybe he can do better than McHale.

"22 points and 15 assists. Congratulations on scoring another double-double and being elected the best of the game. We all witnessed the battle in Oklahoma yesterday, so how did you overcome your physical problems today?" Besides McHale, the person who attracted the most attention in this game was Yiyang.

"We all work together, and when everyone on a team is pulling in the same direction, the game becomes very easy."

"Coach Carlisle allowed the starters and substitutes to get almost the same playing time today. What do you think of this arrangement? Will the Mavericks continue to use this wheel pattern in the future?"

"In the Dallas Mavericks, we have no distinction between starters and substitutes. We are all Mavericks players and will contribute to the team as long as we play. So no matter how the rotation changes, it will not affect the team's performance."

Every answer from Yiyang was spot on. In fact, this is also the true situation of the Mavericks.

When everyone is working towards a goal, winning the game is easy.

"They know what they are doing and what they are fighting for... I have nothing more to say about this game." After the game, Terry's eyes were even more meaningful when he was interviewed.

If it weren't for the Rockets' insistence on letting him go, the "Jets" would have returned to flying in the skies of Dallas by now.

※※※

After two back-to-back games in the All-Star Game, the Mavericks have won four consecutive games since losing to the Warriors. With 53 wins and 5 losses, the Mavericks' performance is enough to put the Golden State Warriors to shame.

After surviving the toughest back-to-back schedule in February, Carlisle also breathed a sigh of relief. No one was injured and the team won the game. There couldn't be a better result.

As long as this group of Mavericks pass back-to-back, there is no need to worry about the remaining schedule in February.

After a day of rest after back-to-back games, the Mavericks will face the Charlotte Hornets at home on February 22.

Jordan even came to the scene today to watch his team's performance. However, the Hornets were suppressed by the Mavericks' defense throughout the game, shooting 36% from the field, making Jordan hide his face and shake his head.

"Maybe, Michael really wants to take off his suit and play in person, hahahaha!" Mike Breen couldn't help laughing when he saw Jordan's reaction.

In this game, ESPN kept showing split-screen shots of Yiyang and Jordan, and the intention was very obvious. How far is Yiyang from breaking Jordan's 72-win record?

92 to 81, the Mavericks easily defeated the Hornets and won their fifth consecutive victory. With 54 wins and 5 losses, the Mavericks still have 23 games to play. The Mavericks have to win 17 of 23 games to tie their record of 72 wins. If they want to break the record, they have to do better.

"I think it's impossible for them to do it. Winning 17 games in 23 games is too difficult even for the Dallas Mavericks. What's more, now that the game has reached the end of the season, for the playoffs, Coach Carlisle also We won’t let the players work so hard again.” This was the answer given by Scott Pippen, one of the creators of the 72-win record, on a program after the game.

Pippen admitted that the current Mavericks team is very great, but he does not think that the Mavericks are as great as the Bulls back then.

"72 wins in the regular season is a very great record, but we do not aim to break the record." What Carlisle said when facing the reporter's camera made many fans who don't like the Mavericks breathe a sigh of relief. . It seems that the Mavericks are destined to miss that great record.

But they seem to have forgotten that the Mavericks' record last season was 69 wins. They are only 3 games away from the 72-win record. The Mavericks are stronger this season than last year. Even if they don't "deliberately" break the record, it's not impossible to create a miracle.

On February 24, the Dallas Mavericks faced the Toronto Raptors at home. The Raptors have a high voice in this game. Now even if the Mavericks lose one game, they will be further away from setting a record. Therefore, countless people are looking forward to the Raptors overturning the Mavericks. After all, DeRozan and Lowry are in excellent form this season.

The Raptors did not disappoint, and their overall performance today was a pleasant surprise. But DeRozan and Lowry, the two leading stars, are disappointing.

DeRozan only hit 7 goals in 21 shots in the battle between Iguodala and Tony Allen. He only scored 18 points with a shooting rate of 33.3%.

As for the former Rockets general Lowry, Yiyang took care of him clearly by himself. With 4 of 15 shots, 11 points and 4 assists, Lowry obviously failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a leading point guard.

Fortunately, other Raptors players played well, allowing the Raptors to avoid being slaughtered by the Mavericks. In the end, the Mavericks defeated the King of the North 99-92, turning their record into 55 wins and 5 losses!

Yiyang scored 32 points and 12 assists. Are the Mavericks destined to be less great than the Bulls back then? This is not necessarily the case!

At this point, the Mavericks still have two games left to play in February. If they win all, they only need to win 15 of the last 22 games to tie the record!

So far, the Mavericks have played 60 games. The Mavericks have only lost five games in 60 games. It is almost impossible for the Mavericks to lose more than 5 games with 22 games left.

Unless the Mavericks suffer a massive injury.

I don’t know if God can’t bear to see the Mavericks continue to wreak havoc. The Mavericks have really received bad news in recent days.

First, Dirk sprained his ankle during training and had to take a truce, and then Wade felt discomfort in his knee and took a truce for observation. Finally, Iguodala missed two games because he contracted the flu.

Overnight, three of the Mavericks' starting five were unable to play. Everyone cheered, the Mavericks' dream of 72 wins was over!

Sure enough, in the game against the Atlanta Hawks on February 26, the Mavericks, who were short of major generals, fell behind by 11 points in the first quarter. Originally, the Eagles were not a weak team this season, which can be seen from their 44-12 record.

But falling behind by 11 points in the first quarter did not discourage the Mavericks, but rather inspired their fighting spirit.

In the second quarter of the game, the Mavericks' efforts on the defensive end finally saw results. Carlisle has always believed that defense is the best way to chase points.

In the first 5 minutes and 55 seconds of the second game, they only allowed the Eagles to score two sports goals. With 6 minutes and 20 seconds left in this quarter, Yiyang succeeded in a layup, and the Mavericks chased the score to 39-43. After that, the Hawks scored 4 points to open the score again, but when Yiyang, the three-point king, and Carter Lao each hit a three-pointer, the Mavericks narrowed the difference to 2 points.

This wave of offense boosted the morale of the Mavericks. So in the last three and a half minutes of this quarter, the Eagles made 0 of 9 shots and failed to score a single point. The Mavericks successfully took the lead 53-49 at halftime!

In the second quarter, the Mavericks completely overwhelmed the Hawks. Dallas people are like a spring, the harder you press it, the harder they bounce back!

In the second half of the game, even without Wade, Dirk and Iguodala, the Mavericks played smoothly!

Tony Allen played the third position, perfectly filling Iguodala's gap. The old Carter started in place of Wade and pierced the heart of the Eagles with a three-pointer. The sword is still young. Aminu continued his solid performance, almost never missing open shots, making it difficult for the Hawks to defend.

Of course, there is also the number one who never gives up. After scoring 33 points, he also sent out 11 assists, another double-double, helping the Mavericks reverse the victory!

Six Mavericks scored in double figures, 104 to 87, 56 wins and 5 losses!

On the last day of February, no one had any expectations for the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets really "lived up to expectations" and lost to the Mavericks, who were short of major generals, by ten points.

When everyone thought the Mavericks were about to be doomed, Yiyang led the team to continue their winning streak. With a terrifying record of 57 wins and 5 losses, the entire February schedule ended.

Winning 11 of 12 games, the Mavericks continued to dominate throughout February.

With the regular season coming to an end in only one and a half months, the Mavericks still have only five losses.

In the eyes of almost all basketball fans, the 72-win record is a record that cannot be broken. This number seems to symbolize the unchallengable authority of the legendary bull. Almost all NBA experts will rank the Bulls' 72-win record as the most difficult record to break!

But that's what happened, whether people want to admit it or not. The truth is, it’s only a matter of time before this legendary record is broken by another legendary team…
