One Guard

﹄New Bayi Chinese Website—﹃ An online novel reading website worth collecting

When Paul returned to the locker room and looked at his teammates around him, he couldn't say a word. If he could have joined the Los Angeles Lakers instead of the Los Angeles Clippers, maybe he wouldn't be so depressed now.

By this time next year, Paul will be 30 years old. 30 years old is almost a watershed for a professional player. Once a player reaches the age of 30, it is almost impossible for him to improve much. It is already very rare to be able to maintain the current status. Although there are occasional cases, such as Duncan who has been doing this for decades. But this kind of example does not explain the problem in the alliance.

And what about Yiyang? That guy is not even 24 years old! A guy who is less than 24 years old has been able to suppress himself like this. If he grows up for a few more years, Paul is sure that the gap between him and Yiyang will widen!

By then, Yiyang will become an insurmountable hurdle for Paul in the West. Paul felt very disappointed. It was already his third season with the Clippers, but he still had no breakthrough in his career.

I hope that the big market of Los Angeles can attract more and more powerful guys to settle in.

Yes, Paul, one of the best point guards in the league, is starting to get discouraged. Although the series is not over yet, if the Clippers want to win, they must win three consecutive games against the Mavericks.

But facing today's Mavericks, this is almost an impossible task. Three straight wins against them? During the regular season, it was very difficult for countless teams to win a game against the Mavericks, let alone a winning streak.

For the Mavericks, they only need to win one more game to advance to the Western Conference Finals. Which is easier, winning one game or winning three games in a row? I believe that even a primary school student can give the correct answer.

The series is indeed not over yet, but reality seems to have made the result already final...

If nothing else, the Clippers can win it within two games. Therefore, in addition to worrying about the Clippers, Carlisle must also prepare in advance for the Western Conference Finals.

So far, the Thunder and Spurs have met in advance, and the battle has entered a fierce stage. Compared to these two teams, Carlisle instantly felt that his luck was pretty good. At least the Los Angeles Clippers are not as threatening as the Spurs and Thunder.

Currently, the Spurs and Thunder are tied at 2-2, and the outcome of the series is completely unpredictable. Therefore, Carlisle must also be prepared.

If you encounter thunder,

The Mavericks have to be ready defensively. The explosive scoring abilities of Westbrook and Durant will be a severe test for the Mavericks' outside trident.

But if the Mavericks are unfortunate enough to run into their old rivals, the Spurs... that would be quite tricky. **Vitch, Duncan, Ginobili and Tony Parker, these guys are all the best in the league. Compared to these old men, Carlisle would rather fight with the younger Thunder.

The image of the Mavericks being eliminated by the Spurs in last year's Western Conference Finals is still fresh in my mind. Although the Mavericks have strengthened a lot this season, Carlisle is still unsure.

Everyone can see how strong the Spurs were last season. People are talking about the Mavericks' 69 wins, but in fact the Mavericks are not the only team to win 60 games this season.

A group of old guys can still lead the Spurs to 62 wins. If the Mavericks' halo is not so dazzling, the Spurs will definitely make everyone's jaws drop.

Others once again overlooked the low-key Spurs, but not Carlisle. As long as GDP and **Vitch are together for one day, the San Antonio Spurs will be a strong enemy no matter how old they are!

However, Carlisle did not get carried away. The focus of his work is still on the series with the Clippers. The Mavericks, who won the game, have been doing a lot of good things recently.

On May 12, NBA officially announced the list of this season's best rookie team. Gobert is on the list, and he was selected to the All-Rookie Team.

Of all the players selected to the All-Rookie Team, Gobert was the lowest selected. I believe that soon, the Frenchman will become another low-ranking rookie who has successfully counterattacked.

After hearing the news, Gobert was as excited as a chicken blood shot. He, who was not favored by others at the beginning, finally has a personal honor that he can achieve. did you see it? I looked down on my team at first, now I am waiting to regret it!

But at the same time, Gobert was also glad that many teams looked down on him at that time. Because of this, he was able to successfully join the Mavericks, a team he was willing to fight for. Although he only played one season with the Mavericks, Gobert has fallen in love with the city of Dallas and the Mavericks without hesitation.

God still favored him, even though the draft pick was much lower than expected. But at least it brought him to the right place.

Gobert is emerging, which makes Carlisle very excited. I believe that after going through the training of this year's playoffs, the Mavericks will no longer need to recruit star centers next season. Because Gobert will grow into their own star.

On May 13, the Western Conference semifinals returned to the American Airlines Center Arena. Today, countless fans came to the scene in person. Fans who had not bought tickets surrounded the American Airlines Center Arena.

All fans are eager to see the Mavericks advance at home today, and they have no doubt about it. Because earlier today, the Mavericks once again shocked the entire league.

Earlier today, the NBA officially released this year's best defensive team list. Among the best defensive teams, Bulls center Noah, Pacers star George and Thunder "shot-blocking maniac" Ibaka are all on the list.

But these three guys did not surprise people. What surprised people was that both Yiyang and Iguodala appeared on this list!

There are two people on a team who can be selected for the best defensive team at the same time. There is no doubt that this team's defense must be very terrifying. Yiyang defeated Paul and was selected for the second consecutive year. Iguodala also found his second spring after leaving Denver.

But if only because of this, Mavericks fans shouldn't be too excited.

Under the list of the All-Defensive First Team and the All-Defensive Second Team, fans once again saw the name of a Mavericks player, Tony Allen!

Although he is not on the first team, being selected for the All-Defensive Second Team also proves that Tony Allen is still one of the best defensive players in the league.

A team's three starting perimeter players have all been selected to the NBA's All-Defensive Team. It's clear what level the Mavericks' defense is.

It's not like this has never happened before. Just last season, the Grizzlies also had three players selected to the All-Defensive Team. Gasol, Conley and Tony Allen, and the Grizzlies defense last season was indeed the top in the league.

But unlike the Grizzlies, the Mavericks still have the league's top offensive capabilities on the basis of the league's top defense! This is something that last year's Grizzlies did not possess.

Throughout the entire history of the NBA, a team can not only have three people selected to the All-Defensive Team at the same time, but also maintain its offensive capabilities at the forefront of the league. Only one team had done it before, and that was the legendary Bulls during the 72-win season in 9596!

Therefore, when the league announced the list of the best defensive team, Mavericks fans no longer paid attention to the Clippers. In their view, the Mavericks are far superior to the Clippers.

"We are a legendary Bulls team!"

"Los Angeles Clippers? The only outcome for them here is failure!"

"Look, our defense will make the Clippers breathless."

Outside the stadium, almost all fans who were interviewed by the media spoke generously to the cameras. They don't think it's an exaggeration at all, because this year's Dallas Mavericks are indeed great enough!

But in the home team's locker room at the American Airlines Center Arena, the atmosphere was completely different from the relaxed atmosphere outside the court. Carlisle was afraid that the players would leave opportunities for their opponents because they were too relaxed, so before the game, he warned: "The series is not over yet! Cheer up and try your best to play the game well." ! If we lose today, we will be the most fucking embarrassed people in the world!"

To Carlisle's satisfaction, the players didn't get carried away. So what about first-team Rookie of the Year? What about the defensive lineup recently? The goal of the Mavericks players this year is the O'Brien Trophy!

The loss in the last game made the Clippers generals very disappointed. It was clear that they were leading the whole game, but they were overtaken in the last minute. Although it was frustrating, everything was irreversible, and the Clippers still lost at their own hands.

The lagging Clippers seemed to be very angry. As soon as the game started, the NBA's most notorious villain, Matt Barnes, had a conflict with Tony Allen.

Originally, the two collided normally, but after the collision, Barnes actually put his arm around Tony Allen's neck and threw him directly.

Players from both teams rushed forward instantly and almost fought. If they didn't think that the Clippers were about to be eliminated, the Mavericks players would never give up. After all, Yiyang has not forgotten the blow "Big Baby" gave to Dalembert. He doesn't mind settling old and new accounts together, but facing a team that's already about to be eliminated, it's obviously not worthwhile to do so.

Just like that, Barnes got a flagrant foul as soon as he came up, messing up the situation on the court. Although no action was taken, there was no doubt that the young man's anger had been aroused.

The subsequent games were often interrupted by the referee's rapid whistle. The Clippers players seem to have lost their minds and can only use fouls to vent their dissatisfaction with losing.

Griffin and DeAndre Jordan took turns hugging the Mavericks players who entered the penalty area, which forced Carlisle to change his strategy and focus on the outside. If a player is injured due to the game against the Clippers before the Western Conference Finals, it will be a real loss.

Although the fouls were fierce, the Clippers' offense was a mess. Their morale was low and they had no intention of fighting. They just wanted to drag a few damn Dallas Cowboys into the water.

Yiyang has undoubtedly become the player who has been violated the most on the field today. Even Paul often knocks him to the ground with small moves.

Fortunately, the accident did not happen. With many dangers inside, the Mavericks relied on their good mid-range shooting to seal the victory today.

With 22 seconds left in the game, the Mavericks led 101 to 93 at home. Paul hit a three-pointer with 8.4 seconds left in the game, chasing the score to 98-103, but it was too late. The Clippers ultimately failed to create a miracle and had to accept the fate of being eliminated by the Mavericks again!

"It's over, 4-1. After the Mavericks swept the Warriors, they cleanly eliminated the Clippers with Paul! And this is also the third time in the past four years that the Mavericks have reached the Western Conference Finals! Let us congratulate the Dallas Mavericks, The rulers of the West disappoint no one!”

Under the shouts of Mike Breen, all the Mavericks players gathered in the center circle, putting their hands on each other's shoulders.

"We succeeded, guys, in the Western Conference finals! That's where we fell last year. This year, let's take back what we lost!" Yiyang shouted in the middle, and the players' enthusiasm was mobilized again. They are already full of infinite desire for the Western Conference Finals!

Mike Breen smiled. A team that can compete with the legendary team will not be surprised by what kind of results it can achieve.

Western Conference Finals, we are back!
