Chapter 659 Against the Nursing Home Team
本场比赛，堪称是一场“MVP争夺战”。杜兰特全场砍下31分8个篮板8次助攻1个抢断1个盖帽，打出了MVP级别的数据。
可是谢开打得更爆炸，他全场砍下42分5个篮板9次助攻3个抢断2次盖帽，在个人表现上甚至压制了杜兰特。
The Grizzlies also won this crucial victory in the away game by virtue of their stronger panel strength and on-the-spot performance.With their victory in this game, they not only won 6 consecutive victories, but also surpassed the Thunder and jumped to No. 2 in the Western Conference.
After the game, there were supporters for Xie Kai and Durant.Those who support Durant believe that he lacks helpers because Westbrook has a truce.Those who support Xie Kai are of course because he performed better and led the team to victory.
On February 2, the Grizzlies returned home to face the Dallas Mavericks.
The current record of the Mavericks is 28 wins and 21 losses, ranking 6th in the West, and they have a good chance to enter the playoffs this season.Their record last season was actually not bad, 41 wins and 41 losses, but because the competition for tickets to the Western Conference playoffs was too fierce, they still failed to get tickets to the playoffs in the end.This record is placed in the East, and it can squeeze out the Bucks and play the playoffs as 8th.
The Mavericks defeated the Grizzlies in the last game, so the attention of this game is very high, and the home team naturally wants revenge at home.
The two teams played against each other in the Western Conference Finals in 2011. At that time, the immature Grizzlies were defeated by their opponents 4:2 and missed the first trip to the finals in team history.
Therefore, although the two teams do not have such a deep festival like the Grizzlies and Spurs, they can be regarded as festivals, and it is certain that they will not fight each other.
Since the Mavericks won the championship unexpectedly in 11, they seemed to have used up all their luck after that. They have not entered the Western Conference Finals once, and they simply did not even enter the playoffs last season.After winning the championship, this team has not changed from old to new. It is still the team with the oldest average age in the league. The core is still Nuo Tianwang. There is no young superstar who can be the cornerstone of the future team.
This is also the current helplessness of the Mavericks. They have a good coaching team and team system, but the veterans in the team can no longer compete for the championship.However, this team can still guarantee a certain lower limit, and will hover on the edge of the playoffs. Whether it can enter the playoffs depends more on the physical condition of the veterans in the team.
Of course, the most effective way is to play badly to win talented men, or to clear the salary space and introduce cornerstone-level superstars.
But the problem is that it is really not easy to let a championship team play poorly, and the team owner Cuban doesn't want to do it, at least not now.As for the introduction of big fish in the free market, they have been trying this way since they won the championship, but so far no big fish has come.In the NBA, superstars are scarce resources, and no team is willing to let them go.A small number of big fish also have ideas, either in a group, or in a super big city.The remaining small fish cannot help the Mavericks achieve a qualitative leap.
FedEx Arena.Since the arrival of this team in Xie Kai, there have been almost no attendance problems.Although it is only a team in a small market, they have already fully developed the market.The tertiary industry in Memphis has also benefited a lot in the past two years because of the high popularity of the Grizzlies.
This is just a simple regular season, but the fans are still enthusiastic.Xie Kai scored 42 points in the last game. The K honeys hope that he will continue to play "God K" at home and give the old Mavericks a fatal blow.
In this game, the starting lineup of the Grizzlies at home has changed. The double bears + Xie Kai + the old prince remain unchanged. Mike Conley, who is the main starter, will miss the game because of a sore hip.
Therefore, the Grizzlies adjusted the lineup in this game and let the general Arenas play the starting lineup.
The starting lineup of the Mavericks for the away game is: Center - Samuel Dalembert, Power Forward - Dirk Nowitzki, Small Forward - Shawn Marion, Shooting Guard - Monta · Ellis, point guard -- Jose Calderon.
The average age of the starting lineup of the Mavericks is quite scary. 29-year-old Ellis is actually the youngest... Nuo Tianwang and Hacker Marion are both 36 years old... Let such an old team compete for the championship. It's a bit disrespectful to the old...
When the Mavericks won the championship in 2011, their lineup was also old, but Nuo Tianwang and Hacker were only 31 years old at that time, and Terry was considered old at 33 years old. At that time, the boxing champion was still in his prime, and Barea and others were also very old. young.
So no one believes that this Mavericks team can still compete for the championship, let alone the championship, it is already a miraculous performance to get tickets to the playoffs and enter the second round of the playoffs.
The game was broadcast on CCTV, and the host Yu Jia and guest Su Qun were responsible for the commentary.
"Mr. Su, do you think the Mavericks have a chance to beat the Grizzlies in this game?" Yu Jia asked.
Su Qun adjusted his glasses, and then said: "Of course there are opportunities. I remember that they won the Grizzlies in the last game. If the Mavericks want to win, they must play offense. They cannot completely rely on defense. Lock the Grizzlies. Conley not playing this game is also an opportunity for them."
Yu Jia said with a smile: "Mr. Su, please boldly predict how many points Xie Kai will score in this game?"
Su Qun said with a smile: "I often make inaccurate predictions, so I won't make a fool of myself. How many points do you think he can get?"
Yu Jia said: "It must be no less than 20 points!"
Su Qun said: "The accuracy of this prediction will be very high!"
"Hahahaha..." Yu Jia laughed.
Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, the White Bear and Dalembert were preparing to jump the ball near the middle circle, and the game was about to start.
At the start of the jump ball, Dalembert easily beat the White Bears, and the Mavericks won the first wave of offensive balls.
Haitian center Dalembert is 35 years old this year. He was the No. 01 rookie in the first round of 26. This is his 12th season in this league.On July 7 last year, the Mavericks signed him to a two-year contract worth $19 million for two years, with only a partial guarantee for the second year.
Dalembert is the Mavericks' fifth starting center in nearly five years after Eric Dampier, Tyson Chandler, Brandon Haywood and Chris Kaman.
The thinking of the Mavericks is "a smooth center, an iron-struck Novak". Since Nuo Tianwang was at his peak, the team has always been equipped with a defensive center to do the dirty work for him, and it has continued until now.
Nuo Tianwang's offense is indeed a kaleidoscope, but even if the defense is at its peak, it is at most in the middle of the league.Now that I am older, my defensive energy is not enough, and it has gradually become "defense against tens of thousands of people".
