One Guard

The Golden State Warriors entered the break with a slight advantage of 1 point. During the first quarter of the game, Curry did not show his seemingly hot hand before the game.

"Obviously, I can feel that Steven is a little scared. The first two games he was really guarded too badly, so today he is very cautious in his shot selection. Maybe he should be bolder, the Warriors might not. Will be so passive."

"But you have to know, Kevin. The Warriors do not have an advantage in rebound protection. If Stephen misses consecutively, it will be difficult for the Warriors to get a second offense. The Warriors must guarantee the offensive success rate because the Mavericks counterattack. Very deadly! Gobert grabs a rebound and a long pass, and the Warriors will lose points."

The two ESPN commentators were analyzing the situation during the rest of the season. There is so much to say about this game. Although the Warriors took the lead in the first quarter, they didn't really have the advantage. In the Western Conference Finals until now, the two sides have to reach the fourth quarter each time before they can decide the victory or defeat. Believe that today, it will be the same result.

But playing against the Mavericks and the Warriors, even if you want to stick to the fourth quarter, is not an easy task. Both sides must always be careful not to collapse, otherwise one of them will be bottomed without the fourth quarter.

The huge electronic buzzer rejuvenated the stadium, and the Warriors fans cheered their Warriors with the warmest cheers. After coming back from the second quarter, Clay and Curry went off and rested for a few minutes. After all, they just played 12 minutes in the first quarter. Similarly, on the Mavericks side, Carlisle finally won Yiyang. It seems that Carlisle's substitution strategy is very clear today, and that is to follow Cole.

Curry up, Yiyang up. When Curry rests, Yiyang rests. In short, Carlisle just didn't give Curry a chance to go crazy, as long as Yiyang stayed in front of the library at any time, the 30th could not get crazy. Of course, the Mavericks have no capital to drive Curry crazy. Once Curry goes crazy, he usually goes out of get off work in three quarters.

After the start of the second quarter, Durant led the Warriors' offense. His continuous breakthroughs left Hayward and Gobert beyond the reach. This guy's physical advantage is too obvious, and his hand feels very soft. It is no less difficult to guard him than guarding Curry.

But fortunately, the Mavericks offense did not stall because of Yiyang's rest. Jose Barea is a three-point guard in people's minds, but in fact, this guy's passing and organization skills have improved a lot in recent years. Barea is very stable in his possession of the ball, and the ball is also very timely, which perfectly fills the vacancy left by Deron's absence.

Under Barea's guidance, Mudiay made a three-pointer for a layup, and Hayward made a three-pointer from the corner. Although the offensive power of the Mavericks lineup is not comparable to that of the Warriors, after three minutes of the game, the Warriors only led the Mavericks by 4 points, which was obviously inconsistent with the situation Cole had imagined.

"The game entered the first timeout in the second quarter. After this timeout, Mitchell and He should also be back. The Warriors did not seize the opportunity. They only took a 4-point lead. In this level of competition. , A 4-point lead is definitely not safe enough."

"The Mavericks' offense is better than people think. Today you can clearly feel that the Mavericks are truly all-for-all. All of their players can contribute to the game. This is something we haven't seen for a long time. , The ultimate of team basketball!" Mike Brin remembered the game in the 13-14 season where Yiyang broke the record of 21 assists in the finals by "Magic" Johnson.

In that game, Yiyang also didn't score much, but relying on the strength of the team, he defeated the Big Three with 22 assists. It was also that year that the Mavericks made a good start for their three-game winning streak.

Today, will history repeat itself?

At the end of the timeout, Carlisle and Cole were indeed the strongest lineups. Curry and Thompson returned, and Mitchell and Yiyang on the Mavericks' side also re-emerged. After the two top guards in the league played together, the game styles were quite different.

As soon as Curry and Thompson came up, the desire to score was very high. But Yiyang and Mitchell, these two guys put more energy on the defensive end.

Curry and Thompson ran wildly, looking for open shots. The two contained and communicated with each other, and the Warriors' offensive firepower became even more fierce in one fell swoop.

The offenses of Yiyang and Mitchell were relatively gentle. Mitchell barely holds the ball, what he has been doing is constantly interspersing and cutting. Yiyang barely takes the initiative to make an offense that can be done with one pass without complicating it. But on the defensive end, these two guys followed the cheetah who was eyeing the prey! Until the last moment, never let go!

Curry and Thompson have both begun to fight their lives, but Yiyang and Mitchell are still playing offensively. Mike Brin can see that Yiyang hasn't fully attacked yet, so when do you plan to wait until you start scoring? You know, this is not the era when you can win championships just by defense.

In the second quarter of the game, Curry and Thompson finally found their feel. Curry 9 points in a single quarter, Thompson 8 points in a single quarter, plus Durant's 11 points, constituted the Warriors' main source of scoring in the second quarter.

However, Yiyang still only had 6 points in the single quarter, but he sent out 4 assists and countless indirect assists. In just half of the game, Yiyang's assists became nine. Today, he really is a veritable number one.

The Warriors entered the second half with a 6-point advantage. Warriors fans were ecstatic and celebrated in the stands without even going out to buy food. You know, usually during the intermission of an NBA game, there are not many people left in the stands. Fans will take advantage of this time to buy some beer, popcorn or go to the toilet. But today's intermission, the stands are still densely packed with people! See them happy, as if they have won the game.

"Passing alone can't kill the Warriors!" Oakland local media scoffed at Yiyang's dodgy play! "Look, Stephen will completely destroy him in the second half of the game!"

This is why the Warriors fans cheered. In their opinion, Yiyang seems to be in a poor scoring situation today. If Durant, Curry and Thompson can maintain their performance in the second half, they will be settled in the tie-break!

"Also, in the third quarter, continue to put energy into defense, not yet time!" However, in the locker room, Carlisle waved his hand. It seemed that he was not worried about the current situation.

The second half started as scheduled, and Curry's offense in this quarter went wrong again. With the excellent performance of the second quarter as a pavement, Curry dared to take a shot in the third quarter, but the shooting rate was not high.

Rather than relax, Yiyang's defense was even tighter than the first half! Curry's decisive shots are actually shooting against Yiyang's defense most of the time. The offensive method of three-pointers, as long as the shot is slightly off, the final reaction to the basket is a lot worse.

"It's done, he's got it!" Carlisle waved his fist excitedly off the court.

"Did you see Darrell? Not only did Curry fail to score goals, but even the distribution of irons was scattered. For his top scorer, even if he didn't make a shot, the irons would not be scattered everywhere. Both. But now this situation means that Curry is out of rhythm! As long as Curry can’t shoot, we can stabilize the situation!” Carlisle was happy as if he was 6 points ahead, but in fact he has been in behind.

"So, do you want to start closing the game?"

"If Curry throws in this quarter, I might let him do it. But if Curry doesn't vote, we have the initiative! No hurry, Darrell, not yet in time! They can't kill us, we There is capital to save. Now, let us use team basketball to fight the Warriors."

Yiyang's scoring threat has declined, and the Warriors are no longer tightly defending him. As a result, it will be much harder for others to score.

After three quarters, the Warriors led by 7 points. Durant, Clay and Curry were all panting, and Hayward and Mitchell on the Mavericks' side were also exhausted. But after the lens was given to Yiyang, the photographer even found that there was no sweat at all!

Mike Brin always feels something is wrong~www.novelmtl.com~ It looks like the Warriors' offense is very fierce, but the point difference is not that big. It seems that Yiyang and Curry have the same playing time, but he still has the feeling that he is closing the game.

There have been 13 assists, and Yiyang has sent 13 assists in the three quarters. Is it possible that Yiyang really wants to reproduce the miracle many years ago? No, this is impossible. The Warriors are not the Heat. They are not the opponents Yiyang can defeat by passing the ball.

"You two guys, what medicine is sold in the gourd?" Mike Brin watched Carlisle and Yiyang whispering, and God knows what they are discussing.

"Gordon, you did a great job in the first three quarters. In the fourth quarter, I need you to focus on the defensive end. Watch Durant, don't worry, I will let Rudy and Kuzma help you defend. As for Green, Rudy, take care of it.” Carlisle finally changed his tactics at this time. He scored 23 points in the first three quarters and Hayward, who carried the Mavericks offensive banner, turned to defense. Afterwards, Carlisle's gaze fell on Yiyang who was sitting next to him.

"Also, the last quarter of the game. We all know that at the critical moment, there must be a clear offensive focus, otherwise the team's offense will be very scattered. Now, your teammates have made the Warriors taste great. They There is enough deterrence to give you a huge space. So in the fourth quarter, let it go. I leave the team's offense to you, also. It's time, take us to the finals!"

Yiyang did not speak, but silently nodded, and then stood up in the admiring eyes of his teammates and coach with the harsh electronic buzzing sound.

Dallas One rubbed his hands, he was about to start messing up. (https:)
