One Guard

Gobert challenged Green. Green wanted to jump up and fight for the basketball that was nailed to the backboard, but Gobert turned around with the basketball in his hands and avoided Green's fight. In this round, Green's height disadvantage is clearly revealed!

Curry didn't give Yiyang a chance to play fast break. He stayed close to Yiyang from beginning to end, for fear of the Mavericks' counterattack. But Gobert didn't panic. He handed the ball to Wade, and the "Flash" drove the ball forward. In the current Mavericks team, except for Gobert and Tony Allen, the other three can control the ball and organize offense. This makes their tactical possibilities no worse than the Warriors' Five Deaths.

Yiyang's crazy moves made everyone on the Warriors nervous. The original plan was for Clay to guard Yiyang, but due to the urgency of the situation, Clay had no time to rush to Yiyang's side, so Curry had no choice but to bite the bullet and stick to him.

Yiyang alone made the Warriors' entire defense tingle. In the last game, Clay guarded Yiyang the whole time, and Yiyang scored 35 points, let alone Curry to defend. The Warriors' concerns are not unreasonable.

Wade waved and called Iguodala to step forward to cover. Livingston was easily thrown away, and Barnes immediately made up the defense, but was passed by Wade with a beautiful change of direction.

Wade went straight into the penalty area, but Green hesitated. He was afraid that if he covered Wade and Yiyang cut inside, he would get an easy layup.

Green didn't know he regretted it until Wade easily made a layup! Yiyang was only planning to feint from the beginning to the end, and Wade himself was a powerful finishing point! And Yiyang alone was able to contain almost half of the Warriors' defense.

Under Yiyang's light, Wade has indeed dimmed a lot this season. But don't forget, he is still a powerful defender who can average nearly 20 points per game!

"At 11 points, Dwyane Wade's beautiful breakthrough went straight into the heart of the Warriors, giving the Mavericks an 11-point lead! Coach Carlisle's change of formation seemed to be very successful. In the latest round of defense and offense, they both Victory was achieved.”

With an 11-point difference, the Warriors must find a way to quickly close the score. If the situation is further controlled by the Mavericks, they will not be able to catch up even if they want to.

Yiyang's defense still didn't give Curry any room to shoot, although Curry could take a shot just by grabbing the gap. But when Yiyang even blocked the cracks for Curry, No. 30 had no way to do anything.

The disadvantage in physical confrontation makes it difficult for Curry to break through Yiyang. During the regular season, Curry was able to overpower most defenders with his fake moves and speed. But facing Yiyang, a guy who didn't take any chances and was very fast, this was the first time Curry felt so powerless.

The transmission ball of Death Five is still smooth,

But the problem is that their passing ball did not allow them to get shooting opportunities. To put it bluntly, they are all conducting meaningless transmission.

The Mavericks' defense of one and four smalls is better than the Warriors' five smalls. Every point on the field seems to be a defensive strength. Even Wade is only slightly weaker than the other four.

In the end, Curry had to take a shot before the 24-second shot clock expired. Yiyang didn't even hesitate for a second, and he threw himself in front of Curry. No matter how accurate Curry is, he still has to increase his arc in order to avoid blocking shots. By increasing the arc, the ball’s trajectory will naturally change.

"Boom!" There was a crisp sound, and the basketball hit the edge of the basket. Death Five failed for the second time!

As the only high point on the court, Gobert can control rebounds at will! Green's secret to rebounding is mainly to use positioning, confrontation and bounce speed to make up for his height disadvantage. But Gobert also has these things.

This time, Gobert didn't hesitate anymore. He passed the ball directly from the backcourt, the Mavericks' iconic counterattack!

Curry clung to Yiyang's side, but the thin "elementary school boy" couldn't even slow down Yiyang! After receiving the basketball, Yiyang ignored Curry who was next to him, jumped into the air, raised the basketball with one hand, stretched his body, and completed a beautiful tomahawk style dunk. Curry could do nothing but watch Yiyang take two points again.

After the dunk landed, facing the stands full of boos, Yiyang put his index finger on his lips and told everyone to shut up!

Facing Yiyang's rare celebration, Curry felt very uncomfortable. He had tried his best, but there was still nothing he could do about No. 1.

At 13 points, Cole panicked. The Death Five were completely restrained by Carlisle's carefully arranged lineup, and the Warriors' unique tricks were no longer effective.

In fact, in the last game, the five small teams had a difficult time facing the Mavericks' defense. With the entire team feeling hot and even Livingston scoring frequently, the Warriors only defeated the Mavericks by 1 point using five small lineups. It's just that this incredible victory made people ignore the difficult process of the Warriors winning the game.

Today, when the Warriors players no longer feel so good, and Carlisle restrained the five small lineups, the Warriors' weakness is actually foreseeable.

In the third attack, Klay Thompson finally got a little space to shoot and fired a three-pointer from the right corner. But after the basketball spun three times on the rim, it still fell off. It was as if God and the Warriors had made a big joke!

The furious Green was stuck behind Gobert. He pushed hard and Gobert fell out of position and fell to the ground. Green jumped up and finally caught an offensive rebound!

But before the basketball was even hot in Green's hands, the referee called him a rebound foul, and the ball still belonged to the Mavericks.

Green angrily slammed the basketball to the ground and bounced Lao Gao. At the same time, he kept muttering in his mouth. Yiyang couldn't hear what Green was saying, but he was sure that Green was not praising the referee.

Sure enough, Green received the first technical foul of the game. The Warriors have begun to fall into chaos. They were originally full of confidence, but now they have become extremely irritable.

Another failure on the offensive end made them a little eager for success on the defensive end. When falling behind too much, players often have this mentality, that is, they want to end the defense quickly and then attack to narrow the score. Even the 67-win Warriors do this.

The way to quickly end the defense is to steal or block shots, or to force the opponent to make mistakes through pressure. But these three methods are all good ways not to deal with the Mavericks.

Thompson's steal earned him nothing but a foul. Throughout the season, Yiyang was intercepted only a handful of times. Most of his mistakes came from his own passing errors. In fact, Yiyang ranks last among point guards in terms of turnovers, and he almost never makes mistakes.

If you can't steal, then press the defense. The cost of this is that Iguodala easily shook off Barnes who was too close. In front of Iguodala, the North Carolina Flying Eagles are still too immature. An "old driver" like Iguodala made Barnes lose confidence before he even got on the road.

Yiyang was also very straightforward and passed an alley-oop directly to Iguodala. Although Iguodala always likes to "play dead", if he really wants to move, he is no worse than young people.

Iguodala's jumping height once surprised Barnes. He thought Iguodala's athletic ability had long since deteriorated!

Received Yiyang's pass in the air, and then slammed it into the frame from the side. Yiyang and Iguodala's alley-oop was completed perfectly. The Mavericks' lineup of one large and four small seemed to be able to handle both offense and defense with ease!

The whistle sounded again, and Steve Kerr called timeout again. Seeing it, the point difference has begun to approach 20 points!

Cole is also struggling. He doesn't know whether he should change to the regular lineup or let the five minors continue to play. After weighing the pros and cons, Cole decided to let the regular lineup play for a while.

Then, an incredible picture appeared. Cole, who originally relied on the Death Five to close the game, was forced to bring in Bogut again! The Death Five are not invincible, it's just that before the Mavericks, other teams didn't have the means to limit them.

After Bogut came on the court, they regained the protection of interior defense and rebounding, and the Warriors finally recovered. Curry and Clay scored 5 points together, narrowing the gap slightly.

But Cole soon discovered that Green had a very difficult time playing under Iguodala's defense. Iguodala himself is also a powerful player. He was even an important weapon for Carlisle to defend James last season! A defensive warrior specially prepared for James, he will naturally not be inferior against Green.

After the game lasted for another three minutes, but the Warriors were still unable to narrow the point difference to single digits, Cole actually replaced David Lee, who had not played for a long time! Bogut and David Lee played at the same time, which was very different from Cole's usual style.

But what's even more surprising is that after David Lee came on the court, the Warriors' interior offense started. As an insider who is proficient in almost all low-post skills, it is not easy for David Lee to beat Iguodala, a "fake inside". But two points and two points were obviously unable to shake the Mavericks' lead.

What the Warriors need is a wave of offensive climax, an offensive climax led by fast pace and high number of possessions. But with Bogut and David Lee dragging them on the court, it is impossible to play at a fast pace and with a high number of rounds.

Cole is in a dilemma, he has been given to the general by Carlisle's bald head!

Cole was defeated by General Carlisle, and Curry was also embarrassed by Yiyang on the court.

The not-so-bad encounter between the two in the orphanage did not make their "relationship" harmonious. Yiyang still defended Curry with all his strength. Faced with his weak confrontation ability, Yiyang took the initiative to fight against him. In short, we just don’t let Curry shoot the ball easily, and don’t give him any gaps!

Curry and Lillard are the two guards that Yiyang believes are the most terrifying shooters. These two guys can fire directly one or two steps away from the three-point line. Therefore, when defending these two people, Yiyang's strategy is to simply and crudely refuse to give an inch!

This method allowed Yiyang to complete the great record of zero shutout against Lillard. Although he can't shut down Curry now, there is no doubt that Curry can't even hope to perform at the MVP level again.

The second quarter of the game was simply a nightmare for Cole. His team was targeted so hard that the traditional lineup would not collapse, but it would not be able to chase points. The five-small lineup will be faced off by Carlisle's first and fourth squad.

After half the game, the Warriors were trailing by 20 points. Even Breen, who was commentating on the game, couldn't believe it.

"The Warriors only allowed 33 points at halftime! Can you believe it? The Warriors shot only 28.7% from beyond the three-point line. Their life was completely blocked by the Mavericks!"

53 to 33, the powerful Mavericks silenced Oracle Arena. After the half-time game, ESPN reporters found Yiyang and conducted a half-time interview.

"Also, can you talk about how the Mavericks got a 20-point lead at halftime?"

Yiyang looked at the camera and did not say a lot of tactical analysis, but simply said one sentence. “We’re dominant in everything, that’s it.”

The truth is often the harshest.
