One Guard

"We have an advantage in all aspects."

When Yiyang said this expression blankly, many Warriors fans watching in front of the TV hope that Curry can lead the team to fill the 20-point gap in the second half of the game and play a good fight against this arrogant Chinese. face!

They just didn't want to admit that what Yiyang said was the truth. If the Warriors fell behind in the first half because of a poor touch, they really have a chance to tie the game in the second half. After all, the Warriors have not staged a turnaround. For a team like the Warriors, when it feels like hitting a few three-pointers in a row, the disadvantage will be filled in an instant.

But the Warriors trailed by 20 points at halftime and it didn't have much to do with how they feel. The Mavericks used a solid defense and won a 20-point advantage. Seeing how embarrassed Curry was defended by Yiyang, we know that in the second half of the game, the chances of the Warriors performing miracles are very slim.

"Compared in the second half, give me all the focus on the defensive end! The 20-point difference, as long as the 20-point difference is stabilized, we can take the victory away from the Oracle Arena! Defensive, we must defend well! Now! Before we relax, let’s fight to the end with the Warriors!” Carlisle emphasized the importance of defense over and over again in the locker room. Although the Mavericks played well in the first half, if they relax their vigilance in the second half, the Warriors will catch up. quickly.

Whether the Warriors have a chance depends entirely on whether the Mavericks players give a chance. If their defense can continue the level of the first half, then the Warriors won't even think about turning over again.

At the beginning of the second half, Curry scored a three-pointer on Yiyang's head. This three-pointer is like a shot in the heart, bringing the lifeless Oracle Arena back to life!

But in the next two rounds, Curry didn't score any more. It is difficult to shoot a ball and hit the iron in one round, and to connect the ball by Yiyang's defense in one round.

In fact, Yiyang's defense was also very effective when Curry made the ball. Only God knows how Curry scored that goal, but what Yiyang knows is that Curry can't score consecutive goals under such circumstances.

Subsequently, Klay Thompson began to attack. This second-generation star doesn't want to just give up the game. The Warriors have played smoothly for a season. If they fall in the Western Conference finals like this, they will be too unwilling!

Green's off-the-ball pick-and-rolls caused Tony Allen's defense to be delayed several times, mainly because the guy Green had too many small moves and secret mobile pick-and-rolls frequently appeared.

Thompson hit two consecutive three-pointers, as if the moonlight in the night sky brought a ray of light to Oakland.

But Yiyang quickly covered the light with his own impact, and his breakthrough made Thompson continue to foul. If Thompson graduated from six criminals today, then Cole would be basically out of play.

In the end, the "fo shining" that Warriors fans were waiting for did not come. Thompson only flickered for a while, then dimmed again. Frequent defeats on the defensive end have disrupted the Warriors' offensive rhythm.

After desperately reducing the point difference to 12 points, the Warriors are exhausted. Kerr had to put in the second team, but compared to the second team consisting of Barea, Bazemore, Old Carter, Nowitzki and Dalemport, Barbosa and Livingston Petz and others seemed a little powerless.

Carlisle may be one of the few coaches who dare to maintain a ten-man rotation during the playoffs. In the playoffs, even a seven-man rotation is not surprising, because many substitutes simply cannot adapt to the intensity of the playoffs. , The head coach is totally afraid to send them on the field.

But the Mavericks are different. Barea is the hero of the Mavericks' ability to win the championship in 11 years. His strength is no problem in the playoffs. Old Carter won't talk about it. God knows if this guy will play a lore this season. Bazemore lacks a little experience, but his strength is good. Nowitz’s genes are big and four minors. He played with the second team today and is also the main offensive end of the Mavericks’ second team. He and Dalemport can deal with the exhausted Green or Bogut with ease. .

The Warriors have no internal reserves and can only rest one person at a time. In terms of physical fitness, they have already begun to stretch themselves.

Nowitzki's crazy singles made the cheers of Oracle Arena less and less. The Mavericks' suppression of the Warriors is all-round. From the starter to the bench, the Warriors can't find any advantage.

At the end of the third quarter, the point difference became 18 points. Even so, Warriors fans still do not give up. It wasn't until the beginning of the fourth quarter that Carlisle once again put out his big and four small lineups, Cole softened his legs and fell to the bench, and he gave up.

"Dwyane has possession of the ball from the three-point line. He has already scored 15 points in this game. Curry didn't do a good job defensively against Wade. Of course, Cole is even more unlikely to let Curry defend. Wade called the pick-and-roll, is he going to break through!? No, it was a pass, a beautiful diagonal pass. Yi's speed is very fast, Klay secretly grabbed Yi's jersey, but still couldn't stop him! The gun, Klay and Green were shaken. The referee blew the whistle, and Klay Thompson fouled for the fifth time in the game! If Klay Thompson commits six offenses, then Coach Carlisle can celebrate the victory in advance."

"The Warriors have nothing to do with the impact. Even if the defense is Thompson, it can't change any results. The Warriors have always had a headache when meeting a guard with the best physical fitness."

Mike Brin and Kevin Harlan shook their heads again and again. At the end of the half-time, if someone said the Warriors still had a chance, they were very willing to believe it. But at this moment in the fourth quarter, the Warriors are still so embarrassed, and the two ESPN commentators also feel that the game can end early.

When Yiyang stood on the free throw line, the booing of Oracle Arena did not abate. You rarely see any home court that can burst out such power when the team is nearly 20 points behind. Warriors fans have not given up, they still believe that a miracle will happen eventually.

They shouted with all their strength, using various sounds and movements to interfere with Yiyang's free throws. It is not difficult for Mike Brin to imagine the pressure on the free throw line at this time.

But as always, Yiyang made two free throws. With 20 points, the Warriors fell behind again by 20 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter. The sound in the Oracle Arena suddenly became a lot smaller, and some fans began to leave early.

The Warriors trailed by 20 points. Facing the Mavericks' defenses, even a one-point gap is as difficult for the Warriors. Besides, Clay has already committed five fouls and is about to leave.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr has basically given up resistance and accepted fate.

No one on the Warriors bench can stand up to help them, Clay and Curry can only rely on themselves.

The two can no longer see the slightest vitality in the last-minute singles, and they even took a break at every point of the offensive and defensive transition. Such a scene makes people both sad and distressed.

As for the Mavericks, Yiyang still clung to Curry until the last moment. His mad dog-style oppressive defense has made Curry, an epoch-making three-point shooter, also lose his original power. Mike Brin's words made a very accurate end to today's battle between Yiyang and Curry.

"Steven was completely blown up by Yi today! Both the offensive and defensive ends, also firmly clamped on Steven. This three-in-one MVP from China can stand it and play the game between applause."

In the last five minutes of the game, the Warriors' spirits have been completely destroyed. No one thinks they can win the game. No one thinks that the war of the century between the Warriors and the Mavericks will have garbage time!

Both Cole and Carlisle replaced the main players very "tacitly", with a total score of 2 to 1, and the Mavericks once again exceeded!

"In this game, the Mavericks' big and four small lineups made the Warriors completely unable to find the rhythm. Curry made 6 of 19 shots and only scored 18 points. Clay scored 22 points, but did not shoot more than 40%. . Green has 6 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, looking very comprehensive ~www.novelmtl.com~ but for this game, he has not done enough."

"Look at the Mavericks' data again. They also have 32 points and 11 assists. They scored 30 points in three games in the Western Conference Finals. This number is a very faithful reflection of the Warriors' weakness on the defensive end. Even if Coach Cole uses Clay to go Defensive, but the effect is not obvious. Dwyane scored 20 points, Dirk and the second team together, also scored 17 points. Rudy Gobert grabbed 18 rebounds today, he played a small team in the Warriors At that time, the advantage was obvious. Mike, do you think the Warriors still have a chance to comeback in the next series?"

"Maybe more." Mike Brin finished speaking, and shook his head. The true voice in his heart is actually: The Warriors can't pass the Mavericks level!

Two days ago, Warriors players celebrated on the floor of the American Airlines Center Arena. Feng Shui turns, and today, they can only watch the Mavericks revel in the Oracle Arena.

The Death Five hadn't been heated up yet, they had been wiped out in the dust by the Mavericks' more powerful changes.

Looking at Yiyang's back, Curry sighed profusely, a deep sense of powerlessness occupying his whole body. Compared with last season, everything seems to be the same...
