One Guard

Dirk's rebound and Yiyang's three-pointer. Even though the referee stopped the game due to a timer failure, the enthusiasm of the fans was not extinguished at all.

"Down with the warrior! Down with the warrior! Down with the warrior!"

The fans' chants continued for several minutes, and finally stopped after the timer problem was solved and the game restarted.

This ultra-long-range three-pointer is regarded as Yiyang's response to Clay and Curry. Don’t forget, who stole your three-point title this year!

The Warriors will not be hit so easily, but there is no doubt that Yiyang's invisibly pretentious shot greatly boosted the Mavericks' confidence.

After that, Warriors small forward Barnes broke into the paint. As a result, the excited Gobert slapped him to the ground even with the ball, and there was no foul!

After the attack passed, Yiyang passed the ball to Dirk in the low post and singled out Green. Green's strength is indeed very strong. If Dirk wants to lean back, it will be very difficult.

However, Nowitzki is not the kind of insider who only relies on his body to attack. Seeing that Green's focus is all on the back, Nowitzki directly retreats and takes action!

Green's short height makes him unable to match Randolph in the previous round, let alone Dirk. The basketball hit the net crisply over Green's head, and the Mavericks scored consecutively! In the blink of an eye, the Mavericks had already taken a 6-point lead.

After the goal, Nowitzki roared again. At this time, he was like a golden lion, ready to kill his prey at any time!

"Green must now regret the words he said to provoke Dirk before the game. Never underestimate a veteran. Just like Carter's corner victory over the Spurs last season, you never know what kind of game a veteran will play."

In the first few minutes of the game, there was no doubt that the Mavericks had the advantage. But if the Warriors can be defeated so easily, then there is no way they can get past the Grizzlies.

Although the Grizzlies are not a championship team, they are like a filter. Those who can pass their level are all elites!

The Warriors' "Splash Brothers" are extremely accurate from three-point range, which is the biggest trouble facing the Mavericks. Although everyone in the league knows this, it is not easy to guard Curry and Thompson.

In the next two rounds, Curry and Thompson started to get angry. First, Thompson used his endless off-ball running and Bogut's off-the-ball pick-and-roll with lots of little moves to get a chance, and he hit a three-pointer before Wade could catch up.

Later, Curry took advantage of Green's screen and shot a three-pointer directly. This time, Yiyang defended very quickly. If it weren't for the Green, Yiyang even felt that he could complete the block.

However, even with only such a small amount of space, Curry still scored a three-pointer. The title of "abnormal accuracy" is not in vain!

Although the score was tied, the Mavericks quickly found their rhythm and frequently attacked the inside. Although Bogut was selected to the All-Defensive Second Team this year, he also has a strong ability to protect the frame. But his slow pace and better-than-never bounce curbed Bogut's intimidating power.

Yiyang and Wade's frequent breakthroughs left the Warriors helpless inside. Although Draymond Green is fierce, his fierceness will not have any effect in front of these two guards.

Yiyang and Wade succeeded one after another. With 2 minutes and 48 seconds left in this quarter, Wade assisted Yiyang for an alley-oop dunk. The "Yi-Wei Connection" ignited the scene and gave the Mavericks a 23-16 lead. Although Curry hit two three-pointers since then, the Warriors still trailed 31-24 in the first quarter. Iguodala still performed well in the second team, leaving no chance for the Warriors.

"What a wonderful first quarter. Although the Warriors are now 7 points behind. But 7 points is not a point difference at all for a team like the Warriors!" Mike Breen's words are true. Perhaps the Warriors It is the best team in the league at chasing points. Any gap will be quickly filled under their tidal offensive.

After the first quarter was played,

The tactical arrangements of both sides are also clear at a glance. The Mavericks hope to rely on the superb finishing abilities of Yiyang, Wade, Nowitzki and Iguodala near the basket to score. But the Warriors are still the same, three-pointers!

For now, the Mavericks are more efficient. But no one can tell whether the Warriors will completely miss the game after that. You know, Curry has already scored several three-pointers on Yiyang today. Facts have proved that not all players will be dumb in front of Yiyang.

"Stabilize the situation. If possible, I hope you can maintain the seven-point gap until the end!" Carlisle doesn't care whether the game is good or not. What he needs is victory, not spectacle.

Even if the Mavericks were struggling defensively in the second quarter, as long as they could hold on to a 7-point advantage, it was worth it!

After the start of the second quarter, the Mavericks' defense did a very good job. Green's strong attack at the basket was blocked by Dirk and failed to hit.

Curry's three-pointer was almost blocked by Yiyang, but the severe interference still made Curry miss the shot. On Thompson's side, just as Barkley expected in the show, Carlisle asked Tony Allen to deal with Clay, and the effect was quite good.

But the Warriors' defensive intensity has also increased. Every time Yiyang breaks through, someone will defend him. Sometimes it’s Thompson, sometimes it’s Barnes, sometimes it’s Green. In short, Yiyang will not be able to break through easily. On Wade's side, the situation is the same. A major feature of the Warriors' defense is unlimited defense changes. Because their players can really defend any position.

The two sides fought hard to separate each other, and the Mavericks maintained their lead, but the lead was not solid.

It was not until 8 minutes into the second quarter that Cole and Carlisle gradually replaced the main players. It seemed that the fighting in the second quarter was over.

The Warriors replaced Curry with Livingston, a former high school rookie. But Carlisle is more worried about "Brazilian Lightning" Barbosa than Livingston. The Brazilian guard once played an important role in the Suns' peak period, even averaging 18 points per game at his peak! After drifting to the Warriors this season, Barbosa has occasionally performed well.

However, the first scorer after the Warriors' second lineup came up was Livingston, who had suffered a major injury!

Livingston shook old Carter away from the three-point line and broke through directly. Then he used his height advantage to avoid Dalembert's block and easily made a layup.

In the next round, Livingston again interfered with Carter's corner jump shot. The Mavericks' offense was blocked, and the Warriors counterattacked!

Although Barbossa is old, he still runs very fast. He quickly passed the half court with the ball. Dalembert thought that the Brazilian would hit the basket on his own, so he leaned towards him intentionally or unintentionally.

However, Barbosa suddenly scored while running quickly and handed the ball to Livingston. The latter made a layup and scored in two consecutive rounds!

"Rick!" Armstrong was a little nervous. In the playoffs, losing points in two consecutive rounds is a very scary thing.

Kalai cursed and planned to let Mark replace Baria to strengthen the defense.

In the next Mavericks offense, Iguodala was violated, but the foul count was not reached, so the Mavericks did not take a free throw. Taking advantage of this dead ball opportunity, Shelvin Mark came on. He had only one goal, to prevent the former high school rookie.

The results of it? As a result, Livingston scored again.

"Incredible, Sean Livingston! He made a shot from beyond the three-point line! Shelvin Mark's interference seems to have no effect on Livingston at all!" Mike Breen opened his mouth wide and scored seven points in a row. This kind of It's normal for Curry, Clay or Yiyang to do this. But when it comes to Livingston, a guy who only averages 5.9 points per game, it's very annoying.

"Damn it, why did you kill such a guy again!" Carlisle was furious, but he was not angry with the players, but angry with himself. He finally suppressed the Warriors' starting lineup, and now a substitute comes to "surprise" him. Mark's defense was very good just now, but Livingston can just throw the ball in. What can you do?

In fact, this is not the first time Livingston has surprised his opponents this season. Although this guy only averaged 5.9 points per game, he has experienced ups and downs and almost said goodbye to his basketball career. He knows that he must do his best every minute.

So as long as there is an opportunity, Livingston can seize it! Kerr wouldn't be surprised if he occasionally scored ten or twenty points.

"I'll go get him." Yiyang said, throwing away the towel hanging around his neck. But Carlisle shook his head. In the second half, there may be more difficult moments than this, which Yiyang needs to deal with!

This is the structure of a strong team, just like Carter, Iguodala and even Bazemore and Mark who occasionally stand up in the Mavericks. As a first-level strong team in the league, the Warriors don't expect their lineup depth to be as deep as the Clippers. Just as weak.

Both Livingston and Barbosa occasionally delivered deadly performances.

That's the thing about bench players, you don't have to put up good numbers every game. But once in a while, you can kill someone in one fight!

Fortunately, old Carter is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Livingston used his extremely high shooting point, which even looked like Jordan's mid-range shot, to hit frequently. Carter also received a pass from Mark and made two three-pointers.

One after another, in the last three minutes of the second quarter, the two teams were still tied.

56 to 56, half the game was not enough time for them to decide the winner. The Mavericks' starting lineup was slightly better, but the Warriors relied on their second lineup to come back.

It is impossible to predict the outcome of the two teams, because even after half a game of real swordsmanship, the outcome is still uncertain.

This is a strong dialogue, this is the collision between the first in the league and the second in the league. In the second half of the game, maybe the Warriors' bench will not perform as well again. But can you guarantee that their starting lineup will not explode?

"What a pity, we are clearly ahead by 7 points!" At the end of the half-time game, Yiyang shook his head slightly.

"Don't think that you can easily win the game against the Warriors. The whole series will be a tug-of-war. Just be prepared." Carlisle was not surprised at all by this result. This was why he didn't let Yiyang defend Livingston just now. reason.

Maybe there will be such anxious moments in the fourth quarter. At that time, it was Yiyang’s opportunity to show off his talents...
