Thick eyebrows beat the Raptors 25+10! The new No. 1 pick scored 22 points. The Mavericks must use Russell more if they want to win.

On October 27, the NBA regular season continues. Today, the Mavericks sit at home and face the challenge of the Raptors. The Mavericks have not won a game since the start of the game. Their five major experiments have not been effective. On the other hand, the Raptors have relied on their young talents and have achieved a record of 1 win and 1 loss since the beginning of the game. Both sides want to win in this game, so the fight is also very intense. Next, let’s talk about the game process first, and then talk about the performance of the players.

Game review:

At the beginning of the first quarter, Boltel and Quickley scored 4 points together and the Raptors took the lead. Klay and Washington scored 5 points together to open up the Mavericks. Barnes and Washington exchanged baskets. Line kill, Ingram hit a mid-range shot, Flagg made a fast break counterattack, and then the Mavericks, led by Flagg and Shuila, established a 6-point lead. However, at the end of the quarter, the Raptors relied on Mamu's outside firepower, and they tied at 32 to end the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Quickley scored 5 points with consecutive offenses and penalties to help the Raptors establish the lead. Klay and Big Eyebrow responded with scores one after another. The Mavericks re-established the lead with a 13-4 climax. Abaki and Shedd hit three-pointers one after another to help the Raptors catch up with the score difference.

Change sides to fight the Raptors again. Led by Ingram, they hit a 10-3 climax to establish their lead. Thick Eyebrows continued to kill, and led the team to retaliate with a 9-0 climax. The two sides once again returned to the same starting point. However, after coming off the bench in this quarter, the Mavericks began to exert their strength. Flagg teamed up with Christie to establish a 10-point lead.

In the final decisive battle, Big Eyebrow scored 4 points in a row to help the Mavericks expand their lead. However, Russell left the game after that, which also allowed the Raptors to seize the opportunity. They were only 9 points away.

Quickley is too alone

After chatting about the game, let’s talk about the performance of the players. The reason why the Raptors fell behind most of the time in this game was because their offense was not smooth. Many times Ingram or Barrett felt online, but they couldn’t touch the ball. As the core of the team’s attack, why couldn’t they touch the ball? Because Quickley plays so uniquely, as the team's point guard, what he needs is to pass the ball well. As a result, Quickley has been playing alone. He made 5 of 16 in this campaign and got 14 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.

If he had given the ball to Barrett, the team would not have lost so miserably. In this campaign, Barrett scored 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists on 7-of-13 shooting. Ingram scored 22 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists on 10-of-16 shooting. Ingram's mid-range skills are indeed excellent, but the reason why he is not a top scorer yet is that he is not good at drawing fouls. He is still far behind the level of scorers like Alexander and Doncic in terms of threat.

As the core of the team, Barnes did his best. He made 13 of 24 shots and scored 33 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. The Raptors team has four star-level talents, which brings them a very high ceiling. However, if they want to perform in the East, then the distribution of ball rights will be more reasonable and the players will play more reasonably. It will be too late for Quickley to keep playing like this, which will delay the team's offense.

The two No. 1 picks were on full fire

The reason why the Mavericks were able to exert momentum in this game was because their core members were alive. The thick eyebrows scored 25 points, 11 of 14, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. After Gai's data was blown up by Wenban, I thought that the thick eyebrow would be heartbroken and completely lose confidence. Fortunately, he is a veteran and can come out of it. But now, the thick eyebrow is indeed far behind the first-line stars, and his style of play does not fit with the top pick of the new class.

Flagg is more suitable to hold the ball alone or play fast break counterattacks, but because of his thick eyebrows, he has been following the position, and he is also very uncomfortable playing in the organization. Although Flagg is playing awkwardly now, if he can practice passing, his ceiling will be higher. I hope he can persevere. In this game, Flagg scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists on 8-for-14. He is now more accustomed to the league.

The reason why the Mavericks were able to establish a big lead in the third quarter of this game is directly related to Russell. He is a qualified point guard who can connect the team very well. In the game, he scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists on 8-of-18 shooting. He played so well, but was abandoned after playing for a while in the fourth quarter. This also brought suspense back to the Raptors. If Kidd wants to win, he must reuse Russell.
