Basketball Fanatic: Genius Is on the Left

, the fastest update of the latest chapter of The Basketball Crazy Genius on the Left!

"No one doesn't like a challenge. If we meet the Knicks, we will go all out." - Carlisle.

"The Knicks are doing a great job. They are very young. As it happens, so are we. We hope to let the world see the power of young players." - Brooks.

Yes, this is what the head coaches of the two teams next door who are still fighting fiercely said in an interview with the media after the Knicks eliminated the Heat 4-1.

It must be a special fate. The two who are about to fight Tianwangshan in Dallas did not talk about their opponents, but set their sights on the Knicks, and expressed their desire to play against the Knicks.

The reporters who interviewed before the G5 game looked at the "2-2" total score board with a look of confusion...

Are you two okay...

After the Western Conference finals, it's the finals!

And... did I ask you the question you answered?

However, some senior reporters soon fell into deep thought: "Could it be, is this a new type of trash talk? Or some new way to tease people's mentality!?"

Ha ha!

No, this is simply the true inner thoughts of the two coaches.

They really want to enter the finals!

If the Mavericks enter the finals, it will be the second time in team history, and they will have the opportunity to wash away the shame of 2006.

If the Thunder make it to the finals, it will be the first time in team history. For a team with a new name, a new team, a new coach, and new places everywhere, if the Thunder can make it to the finals once, it will definitely make a fortune.

Seeing that the winner has already been decided next door, how could they not be envious.

But it's useless to be greedy, food needs to be eaten bite by bite, and games have to be played one game at a time. If they want to enter the finals, they must first eliminate the opponents in front of them.

And the next game will be the most important game of this round.

It may be because the last round of the seven-game battle with the Lakers consumed more physical energy. The Mavericks did not take a 3-1 lead as they did in history. On the contrary, the two teams played very well in the two games in Oklahoma. Tangled.

G3 was originally the best opportunity for the Thunder to take the lead. This game may be the time when Nowitzki felt the most depressed. He only made 7 of 21 shots, scored 18 points and 4 rebounds, and made 7 turnovers. A far cry from the insane performance of averaging 32 points per game.

As long as the three thunderbolts perform normally, it should be no problem to defeat the Mavericks led by the old driver in this state.

but!

Durant also failed to perform at a normal level in such a critical game.

The game kicked off with Stevenson hitting a three-pointer, then Marion made a layup, and Kidd assisted Chandler to complete a dunk. After 20 seconds, Marion received Kidd's long pass and added two points for a layup. The Mavericks started 9-2.

The Thunder were in disarray, and Durant was in a hurry.

The Thunder also handed over the ball to Durant. Durant charged Marion with the ball. After a foul, he made two free throws to stop the decline, but the subsequent three-pointer made a three-pointer...

The Mavericks played steadily, Stevenson made another layup, and Nowitzki made a forced layup. This was Dirk's first shot in this game, which was in stark contrast to Durant next door, who had already started to play crazy singles.

Yin Baka made the Thunder finally score the 10th point with a tip-up, but Peja and Kidd responded with two long-range shots immediately, and the Mavericks firmly took the initiative in the game.

The Thunder then called a timeout, but they were still unable to reverse the decline, and were instead scored 4 points in a row by Marion!

In this game, Marion showed his ability. He scored 18 points on 9 of 13 shots and stood up to carry the team when Dirk was weak.

At the end of the first quarter, Durant hit a jumper to save some face for the Thunder, but the Mavericks still took a huge lead of 27-12 in the first quarter.

And this score is not surprising, because the Thunder didn't even have an assist in the entire quarter!

"Too impatient, the Thunder is too impatient, they actually have a chance, the Mavericks are not in good condition, especially Dirk, his touch can be described as icy cold, the Thunder themselves are not stable." Yu Jia, who was commentating at the time, saw Everyone is in a hurry.

But there is no way, this is the price of youth.

The state of the Mavericks in the next two quarters has not been very good, but the Thunder did not seize the opportunity. The Thunder became more and more anxious and missed shots repeatedly. They only scored 32 points in the half.

At the end of the three quarters, the Mavericks led 70-56 by 14 points.

It was not until the fourth quarter that the Thunder reacted. Westbrook, who scored 30 points and 4 assists on 8 of 20 shots in the game, began to show off. He carried the explosives and began to break through the Mavericks' defense...Scored 11 points in a single quarter. , In the last 2 minutes, the point difference was extended to 4 points!

However, Dirk was over the top!

In the last 2 minutes, Dirk scored 6 of the 18 points in the game, especially the two unreasonable mid-range shots in the last minute, which directly extinguished the Thunder's counterattack.

2-1, the Mavericks regained home court advantage again.

This game is the epitome of the Mavericks this season. It is said that the Mavericks are single-core, but Dirk is not fighting alone. No matter how good a person is, it is impossible to score all the goals. Others are responsible for helping Dirk stabilize until the critical moment.

It can be said that the resilience of this calf is one of the best in the league.

Of course, age and physical fitness are the biggest problems for the Mavericks. If every team in the West could fight the Mavericks to 7 games in the last life, the Heat may not necessarily lose in the finals.

In the fourth game, the Mavericks exposed this problem. The last fierce battle caused the Mavericks to start out of shape. Led by Durant with 10 points in a single quarter, the Mavericks trailed by 9 points 22-31 in a single quarter.

However, the Thunder's high-pressure defense in the second quarter was difficult to maintain throughout the game. The Mavericks seized the opportunity. Terry and Nowitzki hit three-pointers shortly after the start of this quarter, and the Mavericks began to narrow the gap. With 3 minutes and 25 seconds left in this section, Nowitzki made a successful mid-range shot, and the Mavericks chased the score to 46-51. The gap between the two sides once narrowed to 3 points. After Durant made two free throws, the Thunder ended the first half 59-54.

But in the third quarter, the Mavericks widened the gap again. Halfway through this quarter, the Thunder grabbed offensive rebounds consecutively, and Collison made a tip-up. They took a 76-64 lead. The Mavericks called a timeout and it still didn't work, Kidd missed a three-pointer, and Barea also missed at close range. After Durant made another kill, he made a three-pointer and extended the advantage to 15 points.

Originally in my memory, G4 in the Western Conference finals would be a big comeback for the Mavericks. However, the Mavericks had physical problems in the last quarter. They tried to chase points several times but failed. In the end, they lost the game 100-93. The two teams Also tied 2-2.

History changed again, and the Mavericks and Thunder also entered the crucial battle of Tianwangshan.

But unfortunately, Thunder's journey came to an end.

Despite Durant's hard work, even though Westbrook is not the teenager who plays the timer, they still exposed the gap between themselves and the Mavericks in the next two games.

The Mavericks, who lost Game 4, showed terrifying strength. Seven players scored in double figures. After beating the Thunder 108-88 in Game 5, they won 94-90 away in Game 6. Dirk made three crucial Breaking through the middle distance is really heart-wrenching, and every time it sticks to Thunder's seven inches.

4-2!

The Mavericks defeated the Thunder and the Knicks in the Finals!
