Preview of the game
Finney-Smith and Luka Doncic faced each other in a five-on-five match on the training ground, and Doncic wanted to know how far the team's best defensive player had recovered, and of course, both came with trash talk.
"Tell them (referring to a five-on-five team) that they can only wrap," Doncic said after the game, provoking DFS on the court.
"Defensive LD [Doncic], it's how I see myself getting back into shape, I made his shots harder, and he definitely knows that."
"I felt good today, going through a full training session for the first time," says Finney-Smith, "and I've been playing one-on-one and three-on-three, but today was good, see how it feels tomorrow." ”
"Now I feel like I can play, I don't like sitting, it's been a long time, probably the most missed game I've missed since COVID."
In fact, Finney Smith missed nine games during the coronavirus period, but he has missed 14 games due to an adductor injury.
"At least it's better than COVID now, so it feels good."
The Mavericks just finished a 4-1 away trip and are still fifth in the West. The record is 24-21, and there are still 2 1/2 games away from third place in the West, but they are only 2 and a half games ahead of the Thunder in the 11th place in the West, and you know, the 11th place cannot play overtime.
Thankfully, DFS is coming back, and perhaps Josh Green, who is also expected to return this week, with the Mavericks now having a strong addition on the defensive end.
'We have to improve our defence and to win in this league we have to do better, so hopefully Josh and Doedoe will come back soon, they can complement the defence on the flanks, which we need.'
Asked what DFS can defend, Kidd said, "He can go from No. 1 to No. 5, and he can get a pass from Luca to shoot three-pointers, and they're comfortable working together, and if he can play with Josh and Reggie, there's continuity in our defense." ”
With a previous adductor strain to DFS, he was unable to do lateral movements.
'If I can't be myself defensively then I'm a bit difficult, I can't react quickly because the right groin hurts and if I can't give my all, I can't help the team.
The Mavericks have lost five of their last seven games, and DFS says he can't wait to play.
"We still need to persevere," he said, "and we're still fifth in the West and we can still put ourselves in a good position if we get back to hot form in time." ”
