24 hours ago, the whole world was clamoring that the Warriors' "Black Eight Miracle" would reappear. But now, 24 hours later, the story about the Warriors and "the story has disappeared without a trace in the night."

109 to 98, the Mavericks easily beat the Warriors by 11 points. With a shooting percentage of 37.5%, Stephen Curry seemed at a loss under Yiyang's defense.

Judging from what was shown in the first game, it seems impossible for the Warriors to think about "black eight" again this year.

Everything happens for a reason, even "miracles" are no exception.

In 2007, the Warriors completed the "Black Eight Miracle", which seemed to be an incredible miracle, but in fact it was caused by many reasons.

Although the Mavericks won 67 games in the regular season, they actually had some very fatal problems.

First, the Mavericks relied heavily on jump shots at that time. Once you lose your touch, you will be out of control. At that time, Dirk's skills were not yet mature. He could only shoot facing the frame, and his back-to-the-basket and support abilities were far inferior to what they are now.

At that time, the Mavericks were a singles team, and the team only had five sets of tactics: Nowitzki singles, Josh Howard singles, Terry singles, Harris singles and Stackhouse singles.

With the guidance of Nelson, simple singles tactics cannot be compared with the Warriors' everyone-at-arms strategy.

For various reasons, the Warriors created a miracle. But in fact, as long as you analyze it carefully, you will find that this "miracle" is actually a matter of course.

But this season is different. The Mavericks this season really don't have any particularly fatal shortcomings. On the offensive end, the Mavericks are no longer just a simple singles team. Carlisle's command has long made the Mavericks a team team. And Yiyang's organization allows the Mavericks to always play smooth offense.

The Mavericks' many offensive points also put pressure on the Warriors' defense. There are Yiyang, Dirk and Iguodala in the starting lineup. On the bench, Collison, Nick Young and Marion can all score. Naturally, the Warriors couldn't resist such an attack.

As for the defensive end, the shooting percentages of Curry and Klay Thompson in the first game speak volumes. The Mavericks' perimeter trident has put countless opponents to shame this season. Inside, Nowitzki and Gobert can also protect the basket very effectively.

At the beginning, most of the media who clamored that the Warriors would definitely be able to complete the Black Eight followed suit. Only after the Warriors lost the first game did everyone suddenly realize.

Although the history is so similar, the situation of the Warriors and Mavericks this year is very different from that of seven years ago.

But a big win in a game doesn't make everyone shut up. There are still a few media outlets that hate the Mavericks very much, claiming that the reason why the Warriors lost so miserably in the first game was because they were young and had not yet used the rhythm of the playoffs.

Once the Warriors get used to this intensity, they will fight back. By then, it will be difficult for the Mavericks to contain the Warriors' offense.

If Carlisle saw such reports, he would be very disappointed in the world. Because even fools can make money from the words they make up. This is simply unfair to those who are still working hard to make a living.

Is it difficult for the Mavericks to contain the Warriors' offense? Now, Mark Jackson should be racking his brains to think of how to contain the Mavericks' impact on the basket.

"In the next game, I need you to focus on attacking the Warriors' interior. After losing Bogut and second center Ezeli, the Warriors have almost no one who can protect the frame. David Lee and O'Neal Jr. are both Not a top defender. And Speights and Draymond Green on the Warriors' bench are too short. So the inside is the Warriors' weakest link!" Carlisle finished on the training ground. , his hands suddenly clenched into fists. This seems to indicate that the Mavericks will completely crush the Warriors' three-second zone!

After a day's rest,

On April 22, the second game of the series between the Warriors and the Mavericks officially started.

Before the game started, ESPN gave both sides the key to victory today. For the Warriors, if they want to win the game, they must first hit a super high three-point shooting percentage, and secondly, they must limit Yiyang's performance.

For the Mavericks, there is only one key to their victory: amplifying the inside advantage!

The keys to victory given by espn are all professional reviews given by some real basketball experts after discussion. Therefore, it is so consistent with Carlyle's thoughts.

With the first ball after the game started, the Mavericks players implemented Carlisle's tactical arrangement. Iguodala took advantage of Dirk's pick-and-roll and entered the penalty area. Neither David Lee nor O'Neal could stop Iguodala's impact.

For the Warriors' interior defense, Iguodala is simply a replica of LeBron James. The Warriors' weak inside frame protection ability simply cannot withstand Iguodala's impact.

He entered the penalty area and leaned on O'Neal for a hard layup. The basketball scored and the whistle sounded. At the beginning, Iguodala got a chance to hit a three-pointer, giving the Warriors no hope at all.

In the subsequent defensive rounds, the Mavericks' outside trident still maintained a high level. In the last game, Thompson was guarded by Tony Allen and had a "psychological shadow". Today, he received passes many times, but he did not dare to take action.

The Warriors' 24-second attack time came to an end due to Thompson's hesitation. In the end, Curry had to force a three-pointer without getting a chance. As for basketball, it naturally comes out of the frame.

"The key to victory just given is that the Warriors must shoot a super high three-point shooting percentage. But Curry shot the first shot, which is a bad start." O'Neal shook his head. It seems that the Warriors are I will never be able to "adapt" to the rhythm of the playoffs.

The Warriors did not fulfill the requirements of the "Key to Victory", but the Mavericks made the key to victory very obvious.

In this attack, Yiyang lobbed the ball to Dirk. Instead of turning over and shooting a jumper near the basket, Dirk pressed near the three-second zone and scored with a hook.

Amplifying the inside advantage, this sentence has been lingering in Dirk's mind. Since it is to expand the insider advantage, it is natural to use a more "insider" method to solve it.

"God, David Lee is like a sculpture. He can only watch Dirk score. The Warriors' interior defense has not improved at all compared to the day before yesterday!"

The first quarter of the game ended with the Warriors' "dang-dang-dang" sound and the Mavericks' indiscriminate bombardment of the three-second zone. 31 to 20, just like the day before yesterday, the Mavericks seemed to have completely controlled the situation from the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Warriors finally changed their strategy. They gave up endless shots from beyond the three-point line and began to seek opportunities in the mid-range.

During this period, Darren Collison allowed Curry to score 6 points in a row, all of which were mid-range shots. But unfortunately, the difference between the two sides still did not decrease after Curry scored 6 points in a row. Because Curry scored a goal, the Mavericks would immediately enter the three-second zone and get one back.

Gobert's dunks, Marion's kills, Nick Young's touch that makes him score goals indiscriminately... The Mavericks' bench players used a 9-to-9 offensive attack. The score became 50 to 29. Before the half game was over, the point difference had been widened to 20 points.

However, the abyss of despair is bottomless. After the official timeout, when Carlisle put all the Mavericks' starters on the court, Mark Jackson was mentally prepared to be slaughtered.

Yiyang and Iguodala continued to attack the basket, allowing the Mavericks' advantage to continue to expand. Mark Jackson even asked Draymond Green, who came on the bench, to deliberately block shots to prevent Yiyang from scoring.

However, Yiyang's performance at the free throw line is too stable. Sending him to the free throw line is actually no different from sending him two points directly.

The first half ended, 67 to 41. In just 24 minutes, the Mavericks entered the game into garbage time!

"The Dallas Mavericks were eliminated by the Spurs last year due to their inferiority inside, but they have changed a lot this year. The inside has become the Mavericks' biggest advantage!"

"The Warriors have absolutely no way to stop the Mavericks' inside attack, and their shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line is very low. I really can't think of any possibility for the Warriors to win the game."

This time, even Barkley and O'Neal had surprisingly consistent views. It can be seen from this how obvious the Mavericks' advantage on the court is.

After gaining a 26-point advantage in the first half, the Mavericks still did not dare to relax and continued to attack the three-second zone in the third quarter.

In the second half of the game, the Mavericks' shooting percentage also fluctuated. After all, the never-ending attack on the basket is also a very severe test for the players' physical fitness.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Yiyang was roughly intercepted by Green when he was going for a layup. He was a little soft and failed to put the ball in. However, Gobert leaped high and put the ball back into the frame with just one tap.

"Easy tip-in, the Mavericks' inside advantage is as obvious as ever." Barkley shook his head. If Bogut and Ezeli were there, they could still resist to some extent. But now, the Warriors' three-second zone is simply a square, and the Mavericks players can come and leave whenever they want.

It was clear that the defense had been completed, but the opponent scored a tip-in. This kind of thing is very, very demoralizing.

Curry made a desperate move in the third quarter, giving up the scoring method of mid-range shots and outputting wildly from beyond the three-point line. However, he got nothing except more and more strikes and a lower and lower hit rate.

Made 1 of 7 shots and shot 14% from three-point range. Although Curry still scored 24 points today, it was much better than the previous game. But his performance still cannot be compared to the word "excellent".

After three quarters, the Mavericks have scored 105 points. The Warriors only scored 73 amidst the endless sound of hammering. The 32-point gap faithfully reflected the situation on the court. Even if the Mavericks couldn't score a point in the last 12 minutes of the game, it would be difficult for the Warriors to close the 32-point gap in one game.

Mark Jackson had no choice but to give up and no longer used his main players in the last quarter. Carlisle was also happy to rest his starters, and the Warriors didn't surprise their fans. Today, their defeat was even more complete!

Even with a 32-point lead, the Mavericks' bench players still showed no mercy. Nick Young transformed into the singles king, and the fourth quarter completely became his personal stage.

When the game passed the last second, Mark Jackson looked up at the big screen, and the numbers on it made him take a breath.

140 to 100, this is not a game or a movie, but a real score, written on the scoreboard on the big screen!

The 40-point difference tells everyone: this is not a confrontation, it is simply a bloody massacre!

"Do you know why the Mavericks only beat the Warriors by 11 points in the last game?" On the commentary table, Charles Barkley stared straight at it. Even for him, a Mavericks supporter, this score was too exaggerated. some.

"Why... why?" O'Neal's lips trembled a little. This is the playoffs! Beating your opponent by 40 points in the playoffs is... too scary!

"People say that once the Warriors adapt to the rhythm of the playoffs, they can relax. The fact is that the reason why the Mavericks only won by 11 points in the last game is because they have not adapted to the rhythm of the playoffs. " Barkley looked at Yiyang's back. Today's Dallas Mavericks are completely different from the "pseudo-powerful team" that always failed in the playoffs. (No. 1 Guard)
