One Guard

Cavaliers VS Celtics, so many years have passed, the Eastern Conference Finals finally have something to watch. This season's LeBron James is no longer a "suggest" role in the finals, and the Cavaliers have not played as smoothly as in previous years in the playoffs.

After all, the Cavaliers are not a super team now, they only have LeBron James this superstar. Love? Kevin Love's performance this season is rather mediocre, and it can't help much. Whether the Cavaliers can win depends entirely on whether "old man" James can continue to play incredible and magical performance.

Although this year's Eastern Conference Finals is finally a bit to watch, the limelight is still suppressed by the Western Conference Finals. The slogan "Winning the Western Conference Finals is equivalent to winning the championship" was once again spoken by fans.

The Warriors played against the Super Mavericks, the two best teams in the league. Although the Warriors played the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals in recent years, everyone was not bored. Because these two teams bring something different to everyone every year.

Last season, the Warriors introduced Kevin Durant and became the super team in the super team. And this season, the Mavericks have also changed their faces, winning a record-breaking 75 wins in the regular season, eager to regain control of the league in one fell swoop.

In order to fight each other, both teams are constantly evolving and becoming stronger. This season, both sides have almost reached the peak. This can be said to be a peak matchup between the two teams!

When the Mavericks were still playing the third game with the Blazers, the American Airlines Center Arena had already begun pre-sale tickets for the first game of the Western Conference Finals. In other words, before the Western Conference semifinals are over, the Mavericks' tickets for the Western Conference finals have already been bought. This approach of pre-selling tickets in advance has only been done by one team before, and that is the Los Angeles Lakers during Kobe's two consecutive championships.

The current Mavericks are the same as the Lakers back then, they have absolute self-confidence. The Western Conference Finals was the real start of the Mavericks battle.

Although the Mavericks reached the Western Conference Finals with an unbeaten record of 8 to 0, the Warriors, who had just played a tie-break with the Rockets, were more spirited.

"We have gone through all the necessary hardships, and we know how to survive in difficult times. Therefore, we are not afraid to play difficult games. What about the Dallas Mavericks? IMHO, they have not encountered any challenges since. I I don’t know if they are ready for the next game, but I’m sure, my players are ready.” At the press conference the day before the game, Steve Kerr looked extremely confident in front of the camera.

After all, he personally ended the Mavericks dynasty last season and won the first NBA championship trophy for the Warriors in team history.

Kerr believes that with the tailwind, the Mavericks' newcomers are playing well for granted. But under high pressure and headwinds, Cole didn't think Mitchell and Kuzma could help, let alone the sixth man Mudiay.

Just as the media said before the start of the season when they ridiculed the Mavericks: Is it possible that coach Carlisle will use Kuzma to match Durant?

At the time, people didn't know the strength of Kuzma, so it seemed like a joke. Although Kuzma is worthy now, it still sounds like a joke.

Kuzma's performance is naturally good, he is definitely one of the best rookies this year. But he and Durant are not players of the same level.

Judging from the paper lineup, the Warriors are unmatched. Even for the 75-win Mavericks, the lineup is slightly "shabby" compared to the Warriors.

The outside world believes that as long as the Warriors can limit Yiyang's play, the Mavericks will be completely finished.

Various reports emerge in an endless stream, and various media have also come up with their game predictions and analysis. But in all these reports, it is difficult to find Rudy Gobert's name. This French big man who has been absent from the game for two months seems to have been forgotten by people...

On May 14, the NBA Western Conference finals officially kicked off at the American Airlines Center Arena in Dallas. This is the sixth consecutive year that the Western Conference finals have been held. In the past six years, the Mavericks have never missed this Western Conference.

But obviously, the Mavericks players and fans will not be satisfied. Their goal is the championship, not just the Western Conference finals.

Before the start of the game, Gobert performed one-on-one offensive and defensive exercises in front of the trainer holding the anti-collision pad, looking for a sense of confrontation and competition.

If it is the regular season now, Gobert can still slowly adjust from the bench to find the feeling. But now that he has reached the most critical Western Conference Finals, Gobert's pressure will be much greater. Because he has no time to adjust, after two months away from the field, he will show his best performance to deal with the most difficult game as soon as he comes back!

There is no doubt that this is very difficult to achieve. If I haven't played a game for two months, the game will definitely feel degraded. It is precisely because of this that Drummond Green was so rampant before the game. Of course he knows that Gobert has performed well this season, but after returning from injury, this guy can't immediately come up with 100% form!

Before the game, the sidelines reporter David Aldridge also approached Gobert and asked him if he was ready for the game.

"With or without, I have no retreat. So I just want to do my best, and I don't want to do so much for the time being." Gobert didn't say anything to death, because even he didn't know how successful he could be.

Amidst the roaring shouts of the fans, the game finally began. It wasn't until the big man in the No. 27 jersey stepped onto the court that people remembered that the Mavericks still had such a defensive beast.

The Warriors responsible for the jump ball is Durant. Although he is a small forward, he is the highest height on the Warriors field. During the faceoff, Gobert won easily. But this jump ball doesn't mean anything. Green has been talking trash since he sticks to Gobert. But the Frenchman was expressionless, as if he could not hear anything.

Yiyang confronted his "old friend" Klay Thompson. In the Warriors, the task of defending Yiyang was basically left to Thompson. After Yiyang opened the game, he planned to find Hayward first, but Hayward was stared at by Iguodala, the hero of the Mavericks' three consecutive championships.

So Yiyang pretended to break through the screen, but after bypassing the screen, he immediately sent the ball to Mitchell who cut into the basket!

The pass and cut of the two are very tacit, without any interference. Seeing Mitchell receiving the basketball, all the fans on the scene held their breath. This sports defender who can make up the buckle will blow up the court every time he hits the basket.

Mitchell leaped vigorously, and it seemed that this would be another heavy dunk! However, Drummond Green rushed from the diagonal stab, caught up with Mitchell's height, and shot the basketball in Mitchell's hand fiercely!

"Drummond Green, block the dunk! He deserves to be the best defensive player of last season, and deserves to be the Warriors' rim protector! It's so beautiful, the timing and height of the block are perfect!" Mike Boo Lin didn't expect such a **** scene to appear just after the start of the game, dunks and blocked dunks are equally exciting!

Mitchell fell in embarrassment under huge resistance, and Green picked up the basketball himself and then advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

Gobert retreats very quickly, regardless of his height, but his mobility is very impressive. A center who can follow Yiyang all the year round can't slow down much.

After passing the half-court quickly, Green passed the ball to Durant. Durant made a big change over Hayward, holding the basketball in two strides and hitting the basket. The two steps this guy took, maybe three or four steps!

Gobert hurriedly took off, but did not interfere with Durant's layup, but made the referee's whistle. At the same time, the basketball rolled up the net, and Durant got a chance to hit a three-pointer as soon as the game started!

"Two points are effective, and a penalty will be added! The Mavericks come up with misfortune." The commentators sat on the stage and teased.

"Are you **** boasting a body hair foul!?" Carlisle complained to the referee irritably. If Armstrong hadn't stopped him in time, he might have committed a technical foul.

"Don't get angry, Rudy's defensive position is really bad, and his sense of position has not returned to the previous level." Armstrong is a little nervous, it seems that Gobert has not yet adapted to the real game.

"Only let him take his time, I hope that kid can withstand it." Carlisle sat back on the bench again, this time, even he had no idea.

For the Mavericks' second offense, Yiyang intends to throw off Klay Thompson by running superbly without the ball, and then shoots from beyond the three-point line. But Gobert's off-ball screen was not done well. This guy stood too short and didn't catch Klay at all!

"The quality of the screen is not high, Klay Thompson posted it, and Yiyang shot! Hey, didn't make it, the Mavericks missed the opportunity!"

"Rudy seems to have not figured out where he should stand. I bet that if Majorie was the one who screened the ball just now, Clay would never be able to catch up."

Yiyang missed a shot, and the Warriors quickly counterattacked. The Warriors are also good at converting points on offense.

Curry's fake vote gave Thompson a chance. Mitchell was still too young to understand Curry's routine, so Thompson made a shot.

A guy like Thompson definitely can't let him hit the handle smoothly. Once he hits it smoothly, he won't be able to collect the score at all. However, for the first shot today, Clay got an open position and also made a shot.

"Why don't we let Majori try it first, it's too dangerous to go on like this." Armstrong was nervous, and the Western Conference finals took a wrong step. It was a season of hard work that ruined it!

"Give him some time, buddy, give him some time..." Carlisle put his hands on his chin, and that fellow Rudy ~www.novelmtl.com~ must be able to do better.

"Rudy's performance in these two rounds is very bad, sir, do you think he has a way to get his status back today?" At this time, in the stands, French TV also sent their commentary team, and today's commentator is right. It is the French national team coach Vincent Collet.

"The first time Rudy played the World Cup with us, in the 14th year, against Spain. At the beginning, he was also made to death by the Gasol brothers. But then, he let the Spanish tower taste a lot. That game became Rudy’s battle of fame in the international arena, and it has been talked about by people until now. Rudy this guy may not be perfect at the beginning, but he must be thinking of ways to change himself at this time. Rudy is a smart guy, so don't talk about this game. I can guarantee that he will get back to the game in this quarter!"

The French coach looked very confident, and after that, he did not forget to add something.

"Rudy Gobert is definitely the most amazing big guy I have ever worked with."
