One Guard

Westbrook has unexpectedly become the player who has been mentioned the most times today. He was not calm at the crucial moment of the game yesterday, which directly led to the end of the Thunder's season.

Although Durant claimed that everyone was responsible for losing the game after the game, his disappointed expression at the end of the game did not escape the reporters' lens.

Westbrook averaged 20.9 shots per game in the playoffs this season, but could only hit 8.8 goals. He averaged 5.8 three-pointers per game and shot only 28.6%. After this shocking number was picked up by the reporters, Westbrook was immediately labeled a "tumor".

The whole world is accusing No. 0, and the whole world thinks that the reason the Thunder have been doing nothing for so many years is because of Westbrook's too "tumor" style of play.

But when everyone's eyes were on the "Turtle Slaughter Conference," Yiyang and Carlisle were concerned about the taciturn No. 21 Spurs, which has rarely been deliberately mentioned by reporters.

"A group of idiots, only seeing Westbrook fail 4 consecutive times, didn't you see how horrible Duncan's performance in overtime was?" Carlisle replaced the "God Turtle" after watching the news on the Internet accusing Westbrook "It feels worthless.

Indeed, Westbrook's shooting options are problematic. But the loss was really not caused by Westbrook alone. Without Duncan's superb performance in overtime, the younger Thunder might have dragged the game into a tie-break.

"Should we let Rudy defend Tim?" In the head coach's office, Yiyang Zheng and Carlisle discussed countermeasures against the Spurs. Being able to intervene in the team's tactical matters, this can be regarded as the privilege that Carlisle gave Yiyang. Because he knew that Yiyang was not the kind of person who was unreasonable and only cared about his performance. Sometimes the tactical advice given by Yiyang would make Carlisle find it particularly useful.

"No, if Tim nails Rudy to the middle distance, he will lose his maximum effect. It doesn't matter, let Dirk and his old opponent smash to death." Carlisle rubbed his temples and used Nowitz. Key and Duncan face off, and that's to see who can kill who is offensively, or the two blast each other.

For a legendary superstar like Duncan, it is impossible for you to find a way to completely contain him. Otherwise, after playing in the league for so many years, Duncan would have been restricted.

Carlisle only felt a dull pain in his head, and every tactic of Popovich seemed so perfect. The execution ability of the Spurs players is also amazing.

No one wants to meet the Spurs. Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili seem to be one year younger since the finals last year. Not only did they enter the playoffs with the league's second record, but they also eliminated strong teams like the Grizzlies and the Thunder ahead of time.

But there is no way. To reach the finals, the Spurs are the hurdle that the Mavericks have to cross. Last year, they were stopped by the Spurs. This year, I wonder if the Mavericks can challenge again successfully?

Yiyang watched the video of the Spurs game, and then looked at the data of the Spurs players in the playoffs. The more Yiyang looked, the more he felt that those guys were really not normal human beings.

Tim Duncan, the gray beard reminds you that this is a pretty young guy. At the age of 38, Duncan is no longer young even if he put aside his identity as a professional athlete. In this league where the average player's career length is only four years, Duncan spent 16 years with the Spurs, four "career" periods.

At the age of 38, even if some stars can reach this age, they must have lost their dominance of the game. But what about Duncan? The playoffs are still able to come up with an average of 16.3 points, 2.0 assists and 9.2 rebounds per game. His statistics are even better than when he was 34 years old. This guy is like a stone forgotten by time, breaking the curse of time.

Tony Parker, the "French sports car" of the year, is now almost a classic car. Parker, who will be 32 years old in a few days, has already passed his peak. But this season's playoffs averaged 17.4 points and 4.8 assists per game, not worse than when he was younger. Confronting Parker, Yiyang is destined to be nowhere to go easily.

Of course, how could we forget Manu Ginobili? From the long hair fluttering chasing "Sao" years to the bald-headed middle-aged uncle, Ginobili left the best years of his life in San Antonio. At 37 years old, for an Argentine who is not physically strong, it is indeed very difficult to fight and help the team in the playoffs.

Ginobili still averages 14.3 points per game in the playoffs this season, but everyone knows that Ginobili's value is not reflected in the average data.

The Argentine may have been "paddling" throughout the season, but once Duncan and Parker can't solve the game, then leave the way and don't stand in the way of Ginobili!

Even if he scored 40 points in a single game at the age of 37, he is not surprised. Because this is Ginobili, the forever sharp "demon knife."

These three 107-year-old old guys, who have been together, have ruled the league since 2000. In the second decade of the 21st century, the championship is still full of thoughts!

Yiyang doesn't know if his career will be as long as theirs, but he knows very well that these are perhaps the most difficult old men in the world to deal with.

In addition to the GDP trio, Leonard, who has performed more prominently this season, has become Popovich's trump card. That same taciturn forward is a good player on both ends of the offense and defense.

The more I stared at the Spurs' game video and statistics, the more Yiyang felt that his dreams were very real.

Although the Mavericks are one step ahead of the Spurs to reach the Western Conference finals, even Yiyang must admit. The "old friends" Spurs, and the teams they have dealt with before, can't be compared at all!

Karaal and Yiyang made trouble for the Spurs in Dallas, and Popovich didn't have much ease on the San Antonio side.

During the regular season, every time he met the Mavericks, Popovich prayed in his heart. Don't meet them in the playoffs this season! The two teams met four times in the regular season, and the Spurs only won one game. Among them, Yiyang's 53-point night was shot on the head of the Spurs.

Judging from the regular season record, the Spurs fell slightly. Popovich didn't want to meet the Mavericks, and it was excusable.

God really did not live up to Popovich’s "expectations". Not only did he let the two teams meet in the playoffs, but also in the crucial Western Conference finals!

It's not that enemies don't get together. In the past 13 years, the Spurs have collided with the Mavericks in the playoffs 7 times. Popovich shook his head. If anyone in the entire West could stop his Spurs, it would be the Dallas Mavericks. I don't know who will rule the West this year.

From the conference semifinals to the conference finals, the league gave each team two days off. The Mavericks at home do not need to run back and forth, and work is a lot easier in an instant.

The scene that I dreamed about that day has been lingering in Yiyang's mind. When Duncan wiped out the lore, Yiyang seemed to really feel the atmosphere of despair.

People say, dreams come and come. But Yiyang doesn't believe in fate, he only believes in his own hands.

On May 19, the morning of the match day, Yiyang got up at 6:30. In fact, Yiyang couldn't sleep at all, and when he thought of the important game at night, he was full of energy.

However, even if Yiyang is "inspired", he must sleep obediently. In order to prevent Yiyang from "conspiring badly" during the playoffs and affecting his body and condition, Vignali, who lives in Yiyang's home, deliberately did not have peace with Yiyang. Yang sleeps in a room.

So when Yiyang woke up the next day, there was no **** Italian girl beside him, but the dazzling sunlight and the big red circle on the calendar.

Even though Vignali was wearing a lace dress pajamas to make breakfast for herself, it was still very attractive, even if "Xiao Yiyang" had been congested and thirst, but Yiyang still took a sip and exhausted the milk in the glass and held it back.

The Western Conference finals can't be a joke.

On the way to the arena by car, Yiyang turned on the on-board radio. This year, no one seems to think that the Spurs can win the game in Dallas with one-sided momentum. But again, no one thinks the Mavericks can easily pass.

"The Spurs advanced with a score of 4 to 1 and a score of 4 to 2, while the Mavericks' score was a 4 to 0 and a 4 to 1. It can be said that the two teams have not met too much in the previous games. Big trouble. In the regular season, the Mavericks and Spurs are ranked first in the league and second in the league. What can I say? This series may even be more exciting than the finals!"

"Indeed, this is a veritable strong dialogue. The West... can even be said to be the two best teams in the league, and will decide a place to reach the finals. If possible, I will even more I want to see such a match in the finals."

"Although the Spurs lost to the Mavericks three times in the regular season, we all know that the playoffs and the regular season are two different concepts. They can also score 53 points against the Spurs in the regular season, but this Things will never happen in the playoffs! So, this series is very suspenseful and I can't even make predictions."

On the radio, the guests and hosts of the show undoubtedly did not appreciate the Mavericks and the Spurs. Yes, the two best teams in the league ~www.novelmtl.com~ have to meet in advance.

Last season, it was the Spurs that stopped the MVP of Yiyang. This year, Yiyang will once again be the MVP to break the Spurs' dominance of the West for so many years!

The collision between young forces and old-school forces will start again. Yiyang drove to the entrance of the American Route Center Arena. The poster at the entrance was updated last night specifically for the Western Conference Finals.

A super long poster is pasted on the front of the arena. The poster is a photo of each player of the Mavericks. Yiyang is naturally standing in the middle, holding a basketball in both hands.

"Defend your home court!"

Below the poster, a simple but powerful sentence is written in white font.

Yiyang looked at the teammates on the poster who spent time with him day and night. They all came so far, and they must not fall back on the same score as last year!

Yiyang increased the throttle and drove towards the underground parking lot of the arena. Let me take care of the task of defending the home court!
