One Guard

The confrontation between Yiyang and Ellis has already set the American Airlines Center Arena into a boil. --! Moreover, from the beginning to the end, Yiyang was playing in a conventional way, and he hadn't deliberately challenged Ellis.

In this way, Yiyang, whose desire to score is not high, suppressed Mengta's limelight in a daze. Ellis failed consecutively, while Yiyang succeeded consecutively.

Like Coe, 'Monta' is the kind of player who gets more courageous when he gets frustrated. Yiyang embarrasses him, and he will persist in playing singles with Yiyang until he regains face.

However, when the second quarter ended and the Mavericks walked back to the team channel with a 7-point advantage, Ellis still couldn't get back his face.

As this skinny guy became more and more impatient, Yiyang became more and more relaxed in defending him. Ellis may have Ke's temper, but he doesn't have Ke's strength.

For the Mavericks' halftime game, Carlisle is still very satisfied. The effect of more 'blossoms' has been achieved by the players, and the team's defense against Ellis and Curry is also very good. Especially for Ellis, Yiyang only allowed Monta to score two points in the second quarter, but Ellis contributed 7 shots for the two points here.

It can be said that Monta's extremely low efficiency is an important reason why the Mavericks can quickly open up points. If Ellis wanted to attack like this in the second half, Carlisle would welcome it.

"In the second half, Stephen, you attack with the ball!" Although Keith Smart is not a famous coach, he has no experience as a head coach before. But he, who is not well-known, can't bear to watch the team's offense being messed up by one person.

"What about me?" Monta Ellis would not easily give up the ball to others, not even the head coach.

"You take a break first, and I'll let you play when necessary." Keith waved his hand, obviously not wanting to get entangled with 'Montador'.

Ellis didn't directly fight with his coach. When you fall behind, you will naturally need me!

After the start of the second half of the game, Mavericks fans expected the "cowboys" on the court to work hard and widen the point difference to double digits.

However, when the five players of the Warriors stepped onto the field, not to mention the fans, even the commentator Kenny Smith was a little surprised.

Reggie Williams was a flash in the pan this season, but the swingman, who was soon troubled by injuries, actually played early. But Monta Ellis, the real core of the Warriors, sat on the bench!

"Looks like Coach Smart was very unhappy with how Ellis played in the second quarter.

He would rather let Williams play than Monta. Let me see whether Keith's decision will bring the team out of the woods or commit suicide slowly! "

Carlisle is quite familiar with the player Reggie Williams. The top scorer in college went to France to develop after losing the draft. After returning from France, it was the Mavericks who opened the door to the NBA for Williams.

Reggie Williams had played for the Mavericks in the summer league, but after the summer league ended, the Mavericks did not sign with him. It wasn't until halfway through the season that he was signed by the Warriors.

Reggie Williams passes the ball well and has an average spot-up shot. But that mediocre athletic ability and extremely weak defense are the reasons why the Mavericks gave up on him.

Just as Carlisle was thinking about it, Deshaun Stetson made it with Reggie Williams' tough basket and scored the first point of the second half for the Mavericks.

Deshaun Williams' position in the Mavericks is a defensive blue-collar outside line. It is such a guy who is not good at offense and can easily break through Reggie's defense. It seems that this guy has not improved much in the past year .

The Mavericks expanded the points to 9 points, and it seems that the situation is about to be firmly controlled by the Cowboys. However, the baby-faced No. 30 really lived up to Carlisle's "expectations" of him.

Without 'Monta' Ellis, the Warriors' offense is noticeably smoother. While Keith lets Curry score on his own, Curry is not the kind of player Ellis plays with the ball from start to finish.

He first gave the ball to David Lee, and then used his running position and off-ball pick-and-roll to get rid of Kidd, who had bad legs. When he reached the left corner, David Lee, who was the commanding height of the pass, made a precise delivery and "transported" the ammunition to Curry.

Why can't the big man feed the ball to the little man?

Curry made his second three-pointer today, but Kidd's interference was still not as fast as Curry's. The basketball is hollow again, and Curry's 44.3% three-point shooting rate this season is really worthy of the name!

"Stephen Curry's three-pointer pulled the Warriors back from the cliff. The Warriors' offense is very smooth. It seems that Ellis should be nervous about his playing time."

Subsequently, the cooperation of Curry and David Lee allowed the Warriors to gradually narrow the point difference. David Lee is not only capable of passing, he is also a good scorer himself.

Seeing that Kidd was about to be run to death by the No. 30, Carlisle called a stop to the game. It's time for Yiyang's opponent to change!

"Restrict him like you restricted Monta just now!" This was the first sentence Carlisle said to Yiyang, and Kidd, who was sitting back on the bench, also received Cuban's personal massage and recuperation.

When Yiyang stepped onto the court again, the third quarter had already been played for 4 minutes. The gap between the two teams was also narrowed to 5 points by Curry and David Lee.

Yiyang looked at the expressionless baby face on the opposite side. From the looks of this guy, the extremely arrogant 'Monta' was even more dangerous.

At this time, Terry was partnering with Yiyang in the back line, and the Mavericks replaced the team's third forward Mahinmi at the fifth position. The forward line is still Dirk Nowitzki and Marion.

Although Curry's physical confrontation ability is not as good as that of Monta, his defensive attitude is more correct than the latter. Therefore, it is not easy for Yiyang to score easily like in the second quarter.

Yiyang asked for a pick-and-roll, and Dirk Nowitzki came to execute it. This time, everyone in the Warriors was a little nervous. The pick-and-roll cooperation between Yiyang and Nowitzki is often quite fatal. Because whether it is Dirk or Yiyang, they both have a strong finishing ability.

"Let's go!" Nowitzki shouted, Yiyang started directly! Curry was delayed by Nowitzki, and David Lee didn't dare to leave the German anti-aircraft gun. Therefore, Reggie Williams, who was next to Yiyang, stepped forward, intending to defend Yiyang.

But when Reggie made it up, Terry was left out. Although Yiyang's eyes were fixed on the basket, he had already seen this,

The moment Reggie was in front of him, Yiyang suddenly flicked the basketball to the left! Curry hurriedly changed direction and rushed towards Terry, but the "jet" in the long distance did not waste Yiyang's wonderful pass. A very steady shot. This time, Yiyang and Nowitzki completely restrained the Warriors' defense. With such an involvement, Terry's scoring is simply easy to catch.

Yiyang did not play singles with Curry, but continued to help the team move forward in a variety of ways. Simply scoring is not the only criterion for measuring whether a defender is good. If 'Monta' could figure this out, his position in the team might have been different.

Subsequently, Yiyang and Curry continued their unfinished war. When they met in the first quarter, the two had no winner. This time, Yiyang will not let this baby face pass easily!

Curry's dribbling speed is so fast that it is impossible for people to get it. It can be seen that this guy's sense of the ball is very good.

Although his scoring ability is strong, Curry is still more accustomed to passing the ball to his teammates, and then running and receiving the ball himself.

This time, Curry still passed the ball to Lee, hoping that Lee would continue to make a pivot for himself. But now that Curry wants to run away from Yiyang, it's not as simple as throwing away Kidd.

Kidd's body can't keep up with his own consciousness, but there is no such problem in Yiyang's body.

Curry ran several times, but he still couldn't completely shake off the damn Mavericks No. 1. Seeing that the attack time was running out, Curry had to raise his hand for the ball.

David Lee's 'precise' pass like a guard gave Curry another chance to shoot. He caught and shot, hoping to continue to score goals by taking advantage of the speed of his shots.

But the moment Curry took off, Yiyang was in front of his eyes. Right now, there's no difference between Curry and a blind shot.

Seeing that there was no chance, Curry suddenly forced himself to change his shot to a pass. But everyone thought that Curry would shoot by himself, so naturally no one could catch the ball he passed.

Yiyang 'forced' Curry to make a mistake, and the Warriors' offensive momentum came to an abrupt end. Keith Smart stood up nervously, but Monta was secretly complacent.

The battle continued, Yiyang advanced unhurriedly, everything seemed under control. As soon as his toes touched the three-point line, Yiyang passed the ball to Marion.

Marion hits the ball quickly and immediately gives Terry another chance to play with the ball. Terry singles Reggie Williams, which is almost a question of giving points.

The "Jet" made a three-threat move with the ball and scared Reggie to change his center of gravity. Terry easily accelerated and broke through Reggie Williams' paper-like defense.

Jeter broke into the paint, and David Lee immediately defended. For Terry, who is too short and his athletic ability is not as good as before, David Lee who guards the basket is really an insurmountable mountain. Terry was insurmountable alone, but it was not difficult at all for the whole team!

When Terry was about to jump off the basket, he made a pass, and the basketball flew past David Lee and landed in Yiyang's hand!

Yiyang raised his hand to shoot, and Curry jumped up without reservation to try to block the shot. However, when Curry flew past Yiyang, Yiyang's soles were still clinging to the ground. This was just a fake shot!

Pointing to Curry, Yiyang stepped back and shot a jumper. This is Yiyang's favorite rhythm, which naturally allows him to help the Mavericks score two more points! Curry and David Lee finally approached, but Yiyang pulled them back three times!

On the next goal, Curry succeeded in breaking through with his superb and flexible drive. This was also the first goal Yiyang lost on the defensive end after the start of the third quarter.

But how can Curry alone stop the iron hoof of the Mavericks' entire team? Nowitzki finally made a shot in the next attack. The real terror of the Mavericks has not yet turned on the scoring mode, and the Warriors have begun to feel a little overwhelmed.

Curry now hopes that someone can share some of the offensive pressure for him, and David Lee is undoubtedly the best candidate. But under Nowitzki's relentless defense, although David Lee could score, his efficiency was not ideal.

Throughout the third quarter, the Warriors only relied on sporadic resistance from Curry and David Lee to score. As for the Mavericks, the offense has been playing very smoothly.

Afterwards, Keith Smart had no choice but to let Ellis play again, but after Ellis played, it seemed that it made the Warriors' offense even more 'chaos'.

Finally, the last 20 seconds were played before the end of the third quarter. Yiyang used Mahinmi's pick-and-roll to break through, and then used a fake fax to fool Curry, David Lee and his teammate Nowitzki. This 'real' fake move made Yiyang feel relaxed Loosen the buzzer and hit the basket.

After this goal was scored, the Mavericks also officially widened the point difference to double digits.

In 6071, under the tight defense and smooth offense of the Mavericks, the Warriors seemed to be about to fall into the abyss.

After Monta, Sai Yiyang also restrained Curry well in this quarter. Although Curry's performance is still 'excellent', at least he will not score 39 points with a 70% hit rate like a game. The second straw of the Warriors seems to be losing its effect.

Don't worry, the final blow is here for you!
