The game between the Mavericks and the Rockets did not attract so much attention, because in a battle for the top spot in the Western Conference on the same day, the Thunder narrowly defeated the San Antonio Spurs at home and overtook the Spurs due to the strong performance of both teams. Sitting on the throne of No. 1 in the Western Conference.

Therefore, even though the Mavericks have Nowitzki and supernova Su Jiuyun, and the Rockets have James Harden, who has risen strongly this year, they are still far behind the attention paid to the Thunder and Spurs.

Moreover, at the post-match press conference, Su Jiuyun, who was very tired, did not let off any big guns. After all, his relationship with Brother Deng was still good.

So there wasn't much eye-catching news material after the game.

But in the eyes of fans of the Mavericks and Su Jiuyun, Su Jiuyun demonstrated what it means to be a real man in this game. He challenged the Rockets' defense on the offensive end and actively defended the Rockets' star on the defensive end.

It's just a little regrettable that he doesn't last long enough!

On the plane back to Dallas, Su Jiuyun, who was bored, saw that there was such a statement on the Internet, and his temples bulged.

Mudd, you are not durable enough, and your whole family is not durable enough. Mudd, I am one against two, no, one against three!

How about I challenge Harden, Beverley, and Jeremy Lin?

Then Claude, who was sitting next to him, saw a strange look on his face, glanced furtively, and then burst into laughter, making everyone on the plane confused.

"Jay, did you see anything funny?"

Su Jiuyun wanted to stop him, but his words had already been spoken, and then everyone on the plane burst into laughter, venting their displeasure after losing.

"Su, it seems that you have to eat Xiaolan from now on. Hehe, I doubt it was said by some woman you haven't fed!"

"Hahaha"

Su Jiuyun said speechlessly:

"Vince, are you trying to compete with me on hardware? You can't compete on software. Every time I challenge you, you are the first to soften. Do you feel inferior to me?"

Uh......

People on the plane couldn't laugh anymore.

When men stay together, women become the best topics of conversation.

Back in Dallas, the Mavericks can have a good two days of rest. The next home game against the Rockets is three days apart from the previous one, and Su Jiuyun got a good chance to breathe.

But when he thought about the schedule after playing the Rockets, he cursed again, and his legs felt a little weak just thinking about it.

Because after playing the Rockets, the Mavericks will have four road trips, and for these four road trips, they will first fly to Detroit in the East to play the Pistons, and then fly to Minnesota to play the Timberwolves.

This is not enough, after playing the Timberwolves, the Bucks, and the Spurs.

In short, this 4-passenger trip covered 1 kilometers in the air, not even 7000 kilometers.

Fortunately it wasn't back to back, otherwise it would have been even more nerve-wracking.

After two days of good rest, the Mavericks faced the challenge of the Rockets.

After two days of rest and two days of adjustment, the Mavericks have made a lot of adjustments in terms of their mental outlook.

As soon as the game started, Su Jiuyun went directly to defend Harden. Carlisle's meaning was very simple, that is, to get a good start, and the best person to restrain Harden was Su Jiuyun.

And this time, it was not only Su Jiuyun who was restricting James Harden, Carlisle also carefully arranged Crowder's defense against Harden.

Selectively give up Asik, after all, Asik has no offensive ability.

Carlisle's tactics worked very well. In the first quarter, Harden was very inefficient under heavy defense. He made 7 of 2 shots and only scored 7 points.

In the last game, Chandler Parsons was hot. Although he made 4 of 2 shots and scored 5 points with a good shooting percentage, under Marion's care, he really didn't have many opportunities.

In the first quarter, the Mavericks defended the Rockets and made 1 of 23 shots, shooting only 9%.

On the Mavericks side, Nowitzki finally found his form. Although he didn't take many shots, he made 4 of 3 shots and scored 8 points, which was extremely efficient.

While Marion defended Chandler Parsons well, he kept running back and making air cuts, or engaging in pick-and-rolls with Su Jiuyun, shooting 6 of 4 from the field in a single quarter.

Su Jiuyun played extremely comfortably in the first quarter. During the offense, he finally no longer had to throw himself into the air to attack the inside. His teammates felt good, and he only took action when there were good opportunities or during fast breaks.

3投2中,得到5分5个助攻3个篮板。

The Mavericks shot 21 of 15 in the quarter and shot 71.4%.

After the first quarter, at 1:34, the Mavericks led by 23 points.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Jeremy Lin, with Delfino, Garcia and other substitutes, once again defeated Collison.

Delfino scored 8 points in three minutes, including two three-pointers, bringing the point difference back to 5 points.

At this time, Collison failed to respond to Jeremy Lin, neither offensively nor in connecting his teammates well.

However, OJ Mayo, who was sent to the bench, performed very well in line with his role as the core substitute. He stepped to the free throw line once and made a mid-range pull-up jumper to stabilize the Mavericks.

By the time the main lineup came back, the Mavericks were still 8 points ahead.

Harden's shooting touch was really bad today. After coming back, he took three consecutive shots and failed to hit. The Mavericks instantly widened the point difference to 13 points.

But at this time Harden changed his style of play, which was to draw fouls. He was no longer obsessed with shooting.

Chandler Parsons also made two three-pointers without any trouble.

The score difference was brought back to within 10 points.

At halftime, the Mavericks led the Rockets by 60 points 52:8.

Harden made 11 of 3 shots in the half, but went to the free throw line 7 times and scored 14 points.

帕森斯10投4中,其中3分球5投3中,得到13分。

For the Mavericks, Nowitzki made 7 of 5 shots in the half and scored 14 points.

Marion made 10 of 7 shots and scored 14 points.

Su Jiuyun had 8 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds and two steals.

The first half of this game was as tense as the previous game.

Both teams played to their strengths.

The Rockets took full advantage of their wing advantage. Although Harden didn't feel good when being defended, he could always make a foul and go to the free throw line from time to time. The most important thing was that the referee actually gave a whistle!

Su Jiuyun was a little speechless. The league's trend of favoring Harden was becoming more and more obvious.
