Chapter 32 Dallas Seniors

Speaking of the Mavericks, many old fans must have a lot to say. Since witnessing their team win the 2011 NBA championship, the Mavericks management decided to take a completely new direction.Instead of enforcing long-term contracts centered on older players, they would rather use short-term contracts to control cap space, so that they can pursue Dwight Howard and Chris Paul last summer.Unfortunately, this plan didn't work out very well.

The Mavericks' high-stakes free-agent targets have gone elsewhere, leaving them to pick the rest.So they signed Monta Ellis who can score, Jose Calderon who can distribute the ball, and Samuel Dalembert who can defend, and in fact their lineup is not as exaggerated as those It is as embarrassing as the media people made it up for them.

Dirk Nowitzki is an amazing player who has led some more or less problematic lineups to 50+ games and into the playoffs.Last season, he began to suffer from age and injuries, and the team missed the playoffs as a result.And this season, judging from the current results, even if they barely enter the playoffs, they will face the powerful Thunder or Spurs, and no matter which of these two teams they face, the Mavericks have The possibility of being swept away.

After the team came to Dallas, they didn't make any adjustments. After getting used to the venue, the game was about to start.The game was overwhelmed in two consecutive games, and Paojiao got a full rest. Sure enough, after the game started, Paojiao dominated the direction of the game. He used a cross step to open the distance from the defensive player. The CIC kicked off the game.

Then he intercepted Calderon's cross pass, rode a fast break alone, looked at Monta Alice who was chasing behind him, and calmly chose to take a three-step slow, not only scored the ball, but also caused Alice foul.After the extra penalty hit, the score came to 5:0.Afterwards, Calderon hit the iron with a three-pointer and gave up the ball. Pickled Pepper was not polite. After receiving a pass from Roy Hibbert, he directly launched a fast break and faced Dalembert forcibly getting up and dunking. , although the opponent tried hard to block the shot, it still didn't help, 7:0.

At the critical moment, Nowitzki stepped forward, first made a three-pointer one step away from the three-point line to stabilize the army, and then blocked David West's sure mid-range shot.A big cap not only blocked the ball, but also directly blocked the ball into the hands of teammate Alice. After all, Alice was also the leader of the Warriors in the past, and she still had some strength. A successful layup, 7:5.

In the following round, Pickle began to create opportunities for his teammates, breaking through and assisting Lance Stephenson to hit a three-pointer, and Sean Marion scored a mid-range shot on the opposite side.The generals of the Pacers were not to be outdone. Hill received the ball from Roy Hibbert to attract double-teams and made a three-pointer. After David West and Pickled Pepper picked and rolled, he received a return pass at a high position , also hit two points.With the Pacers' starters blooming across the board, the game score was quickly drawn. After the TV was suspended, Ye Xuan was replaced. At this time, the score was already 23:16.

Ye Xuan is not the kind of top ten young man who respects the old and loves the young. He breaks into the paint and hits a throw in front of Nowitzki.But Nowitzki immediately fought back, using a golden rooster to hit two points independently in front of West.Ye Xuan controlled the ball and came to the frontcourt. After thinking about it, he still handed the ball to Paojiao, because he also wanted to adapt to playing without the ball early and prepare for the next playoffs.

Pickled Pepper was not polite after catching the ball, he directly took the ball in and killed him. Marion cooperated with Alice to block his way directly, but Ye Xuan who was on the side also ran out of the open space, Pickled Pepper was thrown smoothly, Ye Xuan The ball was caught, and the point difference was instantly opened to ten points.Although the feeling of the crowd dropped a little later, Ye Xuan regained control of the ball as the substitutes came on the court, and with a vote of substitutes, he beat the Mavericks' substitutes to the ground.

If old Carter and Devin Harris hadn't played well, maybe Ye Xuan would have been able to send the game straight into garbage time before the end of the second quarter.At the end of the half, Ye Xuan, who played 12 minutes, scored 17 points and 7 assists, helping the Pacers lead their opponents 58:41 at the end of the first half.

At halftime, the TNT team couldn't stand it any longer. Jazz Big Mouth Charles Barkley began to complain about Ye Xuan half-jokingly, "Oh, look at this little bastard Ye Xuan, dunking in front of our UFO? Ridiculous single Hand dunks, when UFOs performed dunks on the court, the kid was probably still wetting the bed, but now, things are different. The players back then were old and retired, even if they were like Kobe Bryant, Players like Skater and Dirk Nowitzki who are still active in the NBA have also suffered from injuries."

O'Neal on the side took over the topic, "Yes, that's right, look at the Mavericks players, 31-year-old Devin Harris, 32-year-old Jose Calderon, 33-year-old Samuel Deller Mbott, 35-year-old Dirk Nowitzki, 36-year-old Sean Marion, 37-year-old Vince Carter. Ouch, is this an NBA team or a nursing home? Look at the Pacers, a group of young people under the age of 30, even Ye Xuan, who is only 20 years old this year, bombarded this group of veterans of the league. But there is no way, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the waves die on the beach (I don’t know if O’Neill knows where the Yangtze River is...) Just like the 84th generation handed over the scepter to the 96th generation, it’s time for the 96th generation to hand over the scepter. The alliance will eventually belong to the young Human."

After the halftime break, Ye Xuan directly applied to Coach Frank to start the game. On the one hand, he wanted to get in touch with the starters like Pickled Pepper, and on the other hand, he also wanted to end the battle as soon as possible.Originally, the starting lineup was stronger than the opponent, but now that the long guns on the bench were lined up together, the Mavericks were suddenly overwhelmed. After holding on for 7 minutes, Rick Carlisle, who saw no hope of making a comeback, directly chose to change With all the main players, he doesn't want his group of veterans to waste their energy on the court for a regular season when they are facing the mighty Pacers and trailing by more than 20 points.

At the end of the game, it was another big victory with more than 20 points, which made all the media call the super team coming.And those teams that aspired to win the championship also sensed the crisis and united to appeal, because they questioned why the Pacers were able to sign a strong player like Ye Xuan with a basic salary, and wanted to use the hand of the league to dismantle the Pacers.
