Chapter 337 The Mavericks Forced into Desperation
The big talk has been released. Although the Hornets have not won the first place in history, it is not easy for the Mavericks to enter the playoffs now.

In the game against the Hornets on February 2, the Mavericks lost 21 to 102 to their opponents.

That's the problem again, the Mavericks don't have much to do against a strong point guard.And, because the Hornets have Tyson Chandler, the Mavericks' rebounding is not guaranteed at all.A team that focuses on shooting can't do without rebound protection at all.

After losing this game, the Mavericks, who were 30 wins and 22 losses, returned to the eighth position, because the Rockets have started their 22-game winning streak. It is not bad for the Mavericks to keep the eighth place. The Warriors behind them are only behind them Two wins.

But fortunately, the Mavericks' schedule is not bad, and they can always find a target for surgery.

On February 2, they easily defeated the Grizzlies 23 to 98 in Memphis.

The Grizzlies are now a rebuilding team, so it basically depends on who loses.

It's good to be poor this season. Many teams are actually doing poorly, because as I said before, Derrick Rose will participate in the draft in the summer, and there are several good rookies who will come to test the waters.For example, Michael Beasley and OJ Mayo, Kevin Love, the Lopez brothers, JaVale McGee and so on.

It should be said that 08 was a very good draft year, and the gold content of rookies in this year was only a little lower than that in 03, which is the best year in recent years.

Therefore, some teams began to perform poorly, especially those teams that had made big deals before and had no hope of the playoffs.

Next, the Mavericks had another soft persimmon. On February 2, the Mavericks challenged the Timberwolves away.

99 to 83, the Mavericks still easily won. The Timberwolves are also a rebuilding team. They started rebuilding earlier. It should be said that after trading away the 'Wolf King' Garnett, they began to rebuild.

Two successive rebuilding teams allowed the Mavericks to easily win the second game in a row, but the next Mavericks game is a home game against the Chicago Bulls.

After the big deal, the Bulls were actually quite hurt. They had changed their insiders, and they were all masters of the kid. Although they were energetic, their current strength was still not enough.

102 to 94, the Mavericks won the game relatively smoothly.

But then, the Mavericks will not be so easy, they are going away to challenge the San Antonio Spurs.

78 to 97, another fiasco!
There is no way, it seems that the Mavericks are still bullying. Judging from the recent record, they lose when they encounter strong teams, and they have no temper at all.

Losing to the Spurs is actually normal. After all, the Spurs play team basketball, and it is really difficult for the Mavericks to get any bargains in front of them.

However, after this game is over, February 08 will pass, and the Mavericks will soon usher in the March game.

105 to 116, in the first game in March, the Mavericks lost to the Kings at home!

It may be that the continuous battle is a bit fatigued, and the player's state is a little ups and downs. Besides, although the King's record is average, it is only average. If it is in the East, the King can still enter the top eight.

Therefore, it is normal to win or lose against such a team in the middle of the league.

The mid-range team didn't win, and the Mavericks immediately encountered a top team.

On March 3, the Mavericks challenged the Los Angeles Lakers away!

The Mavericks are not afraid of the Lakers, they have never been afraid, but now the Lakers have just acquired Pau Gasol, and their strength has suddenly increased. It is really difficult to deal with.

104 to 108, the Mavericks only lost 4 points.

Lao Hu watched the game completely from the sidelines. He said that the Mavericks played very well without him. It is really a pity that they failed to win the game.

Nowitzki and Terry carried the banner of offense, and the Germans were even more murderous, no matter how they shot, Terry also contributed three-pointers frequently.

In terms of inside competition, Lao Li and his sister-in-law are evenly divided. Although Lao Li is not as good as the Spaniard in terms of offensive means, Lao Li's performance in defense and rebounding is still very good.Gasol only scored 12 points in this game, and more often he chose to pass the ball.

The brothers tried their best, but they didn't win the game, so there's nothing they can do about it. Lao Hu feels bad about it, but he can't play yet.

Three consecutive defeats!
This is the longest losing streak for the Mavericks this season, which has never happened before, and if they want to enter the playoffs this season, they must not let this happen many times.

However, the current Mavericks are weak after all. Most of the time, they can only do their best. The result of the game is difficult to control.

On March 3th, after the Mavericks finished playing, the Lakers immediately flew to Salt Lake City, Utah. They had to complete this "back-to-back" trip to the West and challenge the Utah Jazz away.

110 to 116, still a little short, the Mavericks ushered in their own four-game losing streak!
Sometimes it's like this, the ideal is full, the reality is very skinny, the Mavericks, including Hu Lin, who watched the game, want to end this losing streak, but they just can't do it.

Moreover, the Mavericks still can't seem to do it in the next game. Of course, this is something Hu Lin knows well, because the Mavericks' opponent in the next game is the Houston Rockets!

The whole team is actively preparing for the game. They don't want to go fishing on April 4. It's too boring. Therefore, the Mavericks must win the game against the Rockets.

However, Lao Hu knew in his heart that if he did not have himself, then according to the normal situation in history, it would be impossible for the Mavericks to win, because the Rockets are now in the middle of a 22-game winning streak.

If I am not injured, maybe I can help the Mavericks, because after all, Lao Hu is an anomaly, and his appearance may change history, but he can't play now. You must know that even Kidd was in the Mavericks in history. The Rockets' 22-game winning streak has not been affected either.

On March 3, the Mavericks played against the Rockets at home, 7 to 98. There was no change in history. The Rockets continued their 113-game winning streak!

It's a five-game losing streak, and it's really difficult to handle this time, and it's still a loss at home, so the fans quit.

Although Dallas fans did not boo during the game, they continued to vent their dissatisfaction on the Internet.

"Our Mavericks lost their spirit!"

"Is this still a Texas cowboy?"

"I've had enough, I'm sure I'm going to go fishing early this year!"

That's right, the fans have had enough. The Mavericks have done very well in recent years. They rarely lose for such a long time. For a while, the fans seem to have returned to the sad reminder that the Mavericks were just established.

Fortunately, however, the Mavericks finally ushered in a victory!
On March 3th, the Mavericks beat the visiting New Jersey Nets 9 to 111 at home!
It was quite difficult, if it wasn't for Nowitzki's key shot at the last moment, and Lao Li grabbed a key rebound, it would be scary to lose this game, but the five-game losing streak is finally over, this is more than anything else good.

But the Mavericks, who thought they could take a breath, were immediately hit hard again.

On March 3, the Mavericks played against the Knicks at home, 11 to 82. The Mavericks lost to their opponents again.

"Shhhhhh!..."

"Is this what you want? Cuban!"

"It's German, not nonsense! Don't be perverted!"

That night, the fans in Dallas dedicated all their boos to Lao Hu and Boss Ku. They attributed the team's losing streak during this period to Hu Lin and Cuban.Coupled with the excellent performance of Knicks' Devin Harris, the boos are even higher.

In fact, the Knicks' recent record is also not good, and some discordant voices began to appear in the team again. The old horse is not good, but Crawford is not, so the internal strife is really not small.If it weren't for the good foundation before, the Knicks might fall out of the top eight in the East now.

However, in this game, the Mavericks were always booed by their own fans, which really hurt morale, and the players were a little bit depressed.This combat power has dropped sharply, how can I still concentrate on playing the game?

Therefore, the ball that should not have been lost was also lost!
Immediately after the game, Boss Ku appeased the fans at the press conference, and he also appeased Hu Lin.

Cuban's meaning is very simple, that is, the injury this time was really not intentional, it was indeed a coincidence, and it was just bad luck. He also said that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this transaction. As long as Hu Lin can play, the Mavericks are still very strong. The previous big victory over the Lakers and a series of winning streaks are very telling.

In the end, Cuban assured all the fans and the media that this year's Mavericks will definitely enter the playoffs and will definitely achieve better results.

The foundation of a team's survival is the fans. If these fans are not satisfied, Boss Ku's team may not be able to continue to operate. Therefore, now he has to speak out, and he can't do it.Even in a big city like New York where the Knicks are located, someone has to come out to speak out when encountering this problem. Didn't the old Brown come out and apologize immediately.

In fact, I don't blame the fans for being angry. Although they won a game before, the Mavericks' recent losing streak has caused them to fall out of the top eight in the Western Conference.Especially after losing the game against the Knicks, the current Mavericks have come to No. 10 in the West!

The place in the playoffs is no longer guaranteed, and now they need to fight desperately to have a chance to get the final ticket.

Under such a severe situation, Lao Hu no longer wants to sit on the sidelines and watch the game. He hopes to play to help the team. Moreover, he feels that his left hand does not hurt so much now, and he has never put aside training. , He thinks the current state is not bad.

But, can Lao Hu really come back early? ?

　Keep asking for a vote, thank you.
