One Guard

One is 31 points and the other is 40 points. Don't get me wrong, this is not the stats played by LeBron and Wade. This data comes from the combination of Yiyang and Dirk, which has been out of sight for a long time.

When the Mavericks beat the Spurs by 12 points and took a 3-1 lead, no one clamored that the Mavericks were going to die.

To get the match point in the away game, the next game will have to return to the United States Route Center Arena to fight. It can be said that the promotion of the Mavericks is a sure thing.

The Mavericks showed their best form in the fourth game, even better than the previous two games. On the defensive end, they are airtight. On the offensive end, Yiyang and Dirk carried half of the sky, and then assisted by the help of Iguodala, Nick Young and Old Carter. The offensive firepower was so strong that the old Spurs could hardly resist.

Facts have proved that it is not a wise decision to mention the aging Duncan to the fifth position. The whole game only scored 9 points under Gobert's defense. For Duncan, this is no less shame than Nowitzki's only 11!

And what about Dior, who was placed in the fourth position by Popovich and had high hopes? He actually scored a double-double, but with 14 points and 10 rebounds, Popovich expected more than that.

If you expect Manu Ginobili at the age of 37 to maintain an output of 20+ points per game, then it must be a idiot. Manu killed the Mavericks in the last game, but today he only scored 5 points in the game. Tony Parker's 14 points are already the highest score in GDP.

In the whole game, the Mavericks only made 5 turnovers, of which Yiyang only made 1 turnover. And that time when the error occurred in trash time, Yiyang's not looking at the back pass seemed to be too overwhelming, and even Marion who was about to catch the ball didn't understand, so the basketball flew out of bounds.

The Mavericks immediately adjusted back after losing the last game. They were very cautious throughout the game and didn't make mistakes easily.

If we say that the first two games, the Spurs dragged to the last moment, forcing the Mavericks' resilience. In that last game, the Spurs won by a big score, which undoubtedly forced a Dallas Mavericks in full state. So today, the Mavericks surprised the world.

This is their ultimate form, and this is the maximum limit of this Mavericks team. In the ATT Center, the 62-win Spurs with a neat lineup were pressed to the ground and could not raise their heads. Want to do this, but not everyone can like it.

"Coach Greg, what do you think of the Spurs' defeat in this game?" After the game, when the reporter raised this question to Popovich, the old coach said nothing, just sighed and shook his head. .

How to treat? The hard power gap!

Duncan is old, Ginobili is old, Parker is not young, what about Leonard? The climate is worse. Occasionally one or two games, the Spurs still fight. But in the protracted playoffs, the veteran can't break out every game. In terms of stability, the current Spurs are definitely not as good as the Mavericks.

Popovich didn't want to admit this, so he couldn't say anything. 62 wins, 62 wins in the regular season! What kind of concept is this? It means that the Spurs have almost played all their opponents in the West!

In the playoffs, they eliminated strong teams like the Grizzlies and the Thunder. If it weren't for the Dallas Mavericks, Popovich would dare to pack the votes, and the Spurs would definitely become the team that entered the finals to compete for the O'Brien Cup!

But everything that should have been brilliant was broken by the team led by the guy who was less than 24 years old.

If Popovich is forced to comment on this year's Mavericks, he will only tell you one sentence.

"Perfect defense and offense."

Behind 3 to 1, this is not a good result for the San Antonio Spurs. Although the score of 3 to 1 is not as absolute as 3 to 0, there are still people in NBA history who can complete a comeback when 3-1 behind. But there are only eight teams that can do this in the entire NBA history.

Among them, the most recent team that was able to make a comeback after falling behind 3-1 was the Phoenix Suns in 2006.

That year, the Lakers relied on Kobe's unsolvable personal ability to turn the total score into 3 to 1. But I have to admit that the overall strength of the Suns is stronger. The Lakers back then had nothing but Kobe.

In the end, the Suns played steadily and performed a miracle, knocking out the Lakers. But is the overall strength of the Spurs stronger than the Mavericks? I'm afraid not necessarily.

Although 3 to 1 does not seem as desperate as 3 to 0, in fact, half of the Spurs' heads have been stretched under the knife of the Mavericks.

In the fifth game of the series, he returned to the American Airlines Center Arena in Dallas. Today, NBA officials have moved the Western Conference championship trophy and pennants here. The staff were ready and even ready to quickly set up a temporary podium after the game.

However, as Carlisle said, "Bull and Horse War" will never be that simple.

In this game, the young Leonard finally awakened. He even made a sudden shot in the audience, beating Iguodala, the old fritters.

With 26 points, 10 rebounds, 2 steals and 3 blocks, Leonard played a superstar-level performance. His excellent performance also led the Spurs to a five-point difference and unexpectedly won the game away.

After the game, all the Dallas media were dumbfounded. The Mavericks and Spurs game really did not follow the routine.

In the last game, everyone thought the Mavericks were going to be cold. As a result, Yiyang and Dirk scored 71 points together, stupefied to win the match point.

Today, everyone feels that the Spurs’ journey will come to an end. As a result, Leonard played his best performance of the season, bringing the team out of the siege.

"I have to say that the result of this game was quite unexpected. The Spurs' tenacious struggle allowed them to move the total score to 3 to 2. The Texas Civil War has never been so easy." Mike Buo Lin shook his head. Although the Spurs won today, the senior commentator knew very well. The victory of this game only delayed the death of the Spurs.

As Popovich thought, the Spurs are not as stable as the Mavericks. This may sound incredible, the Spurs are the most stable team in the league, none of them!

But this is the case. From the data in the playoffs, we can see how "jumping" the GDP three people are.

Duncan may have ruled the penalty area the day before, but couldn't even score a double-digit breakthrough the next day. The same thing will happen to the GDP three in turn. The intensity of the playoffs and a strong opponent like the Mavericks made the aging Spurs exhausted.

So just like that, the game was dragged back to San Antonio, and the league had to carry the Western Conference championship trophy. In the sixth game, if the Spurs win, they will drag the series into a tie-break. If the Mavericks win, they will lift the Western Conference Championship trophy amid boos from Spurs fans.

In the sixth game, both sides tried their best to beat everyone on their backs. Duncan and other old guys are still unwilling to give up, and the Mavericks led by Yiyang don't want to give the Spurs any chance.

Soon after the opening, Leonard dunked with one hand through Nowitzki. Since then, he has made two breakthrough layups and the Spurs started 6-2. But Dirk quickly regained the color with a turn-over jumper twice, Yiyang hit a three-pointer, and the Mavericks returned 7-0 and quickly took the lead.

The opening situation became the epitome of the whole game. The Spurs made an effort and exceeded the score. The Mavericks made another effort to equalize or overtake.

After 48 minutes in this rhythm, neither side won. The final defensive strength of the two teams can already be described by the word "rough". The referee also relaxed the whistle-blowing scale for the sake of the game. Therefore, in the last minute of the game, neither side scored a single point, and the regular time ended in a backlash.

Finally, the Spurs and Mavericks inevitably played overtime. During the overtime period, Carlisle gave Yiyang unlimited fire rights. Because at this time only his physical strength can guarantee the stability of the offensive end.

Yiyang did not disappoint Carlisle, and once again opened the scoring mode, taking care of 10 of the Mavericks' 13 points in overtime. Among them, Dirk hit the three-pointer, or from Yiyang assists. It can be said that all the 13 points the Mavericks scored in overtime came from Yiyang.

On the Spurs side, the exhausted GDP can't show much performance anymore. The Spurs can only rely on Leonard and Danny Green to support them.

In the beginning, they were able to keep up with Yiyang's rhythm. But in the last two minutes, these two guys also started to collapse. Only Yiyang stabilized to the end, until the electronic buzzer crossed the dome of the arena.

"Beep!"

When the harsh sound sounded, Leonard looked at the big electronic screen in confusion. 114 to 110, the Spurs are only four points behind, a **** four points!

On Leonard's paralyzed expression, no one noticed a trace of sadness that was not easily detectable. Seeing that he and his teammates worked hard for a season in exchange for such a result, Leonard was very unwilling and very sad. He hates himself, hates why he missed those shots, hates why he let Iguodala score those points.

Leonard sat paralyzed on the ground, but his expressionless appearance made other people unable to see his inner sadness.

What about the GDP three? These three old guys actually felt relieved. It's over, everything is over, another season in a long career is over. It's just a pity that the Spurs were not able to reach the finals, and Leonard was not able to experience the atmosphere of the finals.

But what can they do? This is the case in professional competitions. No one can always be a winner.

As Mike Brin expected, the Spurs fans booed collectively at the end of the game. They are not booing the Spurs, but booing the Mavericks who won the entire series.

But this huge boo did not affect the celebration of the Mavericks players on the court. Yiyang opened his arms and stood at the LOGO of the stadium, enjoying the "cheer" of victory.

Carter covered his face with a towel. He didn't want people to see his tears. In the finals, when the dream of these 16 years was finally realized, Carter found that he couldn't laugh at all.

Where is Nowitzki? He hugs everyone, hugs his teammates and coaches. Finally, he hugged Yiyang, who opened his arms in the middle circle. Dirk thanked everyone for their efforts. It was everyone's efforts that allowed the Mavericks to return to the finals after two years. It was everyone's efforts that gave him a chance to compete for the highest honor of the O'Brien Cup at the age of 36.

Especially Yiyang~www.novelmtl.com~ Without this Chinese kid, the Mavericks might not return to the top of the West so soon.

From the championship, to losing to the Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals, to being killed by the Spurs in the Western Conference finals last year...Yiyang remembered a lot of things, and remembered countless nights of failure.

But anyway, they finally made it through, didn't they?

They have experienced troughs, and they were even considered to be unable to make the playoffs. But Yiyang and his teammates did not give up, Dirk, Marion, Carter, Carlisle, Cuban...They have been advancing towards the highest honor, and now two years later, they have survived!

Nowitzki, who hugged Yiyang, felt that Yiyang's body was trembling slightly. He couldn't help lowering his head and muttering in Yiyang's ear.

"Let's go, we should go to claim our championship trophy. Our second, the second championship trophy!"

Yiyang swallowed and nodded slightly.

At this time, you should laugh, idiot!
