One Guard

In the end, Yiyang was carried directly from the technical stage to the locker room by his teammates. At that moment, everyone's adrenaline surged to the highest point.

Needless to say, the rookies experienced such a big scene for the first time and they couldn't help themselves. And the old guys from the Mavericks finally got angry. The collapse of last year is still fresh in our minds. Just when everyone thought the Mavericks dynasty was about to end and the Warriors dynasty was about to be established, the Dallas Cowboys made a bold comeback.

Curry's shot in the last 6 seconds originally saved his team, but Yiyang snatched the moment that originally belonged to Curry and pushed the Warriors off the cliff.

When more than 20,000 fans in the American Airlines Center shouted "Long Live Our King" in unison, the No. 1 guard standing on the technical stage with his arms raised seemed to be really not a basketball player, but a real basketball player. The king!

He is respected and worshiped by others, and most importantly, he can really protect his own land!

Although the series requires winning four games to be considered a victory, defeating the Warriors with a buzzer beater in the first game will undoubtedly greatly improve the team's morale.

The Mavericks players celebrated wildly in the locker room, while the Warriors players were plagued with embarrassing questions.

"I don't want to make any comments about the shot just now. I just want the next game to come soon." Draymond Green was rarely "honest" when interviewing reporters. After all, today, He was humiliated by Yiyang and Gobert in all aspects.

Gobert had 14 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks. In the first game back, his dominance of the penalty area made Green seem invisible today. Of course, it also reminded those who questioned Gobert of the horror of this suffocation tower.

Not to mention Yiyang, with 47 points, 13 assists and 5 rebounds, 40+ points and a double-double. In the face of such data, whatever Green said would seem to be a forced quibble.

Today, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and be quiet. Who makes him the loser? In the world of competitive sports, losers often have no say.

As for Curry, when faced with this question, Curry said nothing and just shook his head silently. Two steps past the midfield line, he still scored a goal while he was close to him. What else can Curry say? Any words pale in comparison to such an incredible goal.

The next day, the photo of Yiyang standing on the technical stage with his arms raised and being worshiped by the fans became the front page photo of major news websites and newspapers. Cuban even proposed to make such a huge poster and hang it at the entrance of the American Airlines Center Arena!

Yiyang has given the city of Dallas,

It left a deep imprint. It can even be said that he himself has become part of the city's culture.

After the first game of the Western Conference Finals, everyone praised the performance of Yiyang and Curry. Curry had 44 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds, and Yiyang had 47 points, 13 assists and 5 rebounds. The statistics of both guards can only be described as "exploding". And you know, this is the Western Conference finals! With such data in the intensity of the Western Conference finals, looking at the entire league, perhaps only two guards, Yiyang and Curry, can do it.

Just like Magic vs. Bird and 23VS24 back then, now Yiyang vs. Curry is also a super brand that the league strives to build.

This year's Western Conference finals are attracting more money than ever before. Xiao Hua really hopes that the Warriors can play another tiebreaker. In this way, the alliance can make a lot of money.

And it is not impossible for the two sides to reach the tiebreaker. Up to this point in the game, the Warriors and Mavericks have no secrets from each other. In the past, the sudden appearance of the Warriors' five dead young players might have caught the Mavericks off guard, and the Mavericks' first and fourth young players also made it hard for Cole to guard against. But now, both sides have already developed strategies for various situations.

When there are no variables, the performance of the superstars becomes the key to determining the outcome of the game.

For example, the last game was a battle between Curry and Yiyang. God knows who else from the two teams can step up in the next game.

The further you go, the more obvious the role of the superstar becomes. Look at the Eastern Conference. Didn't the Cleveland Cavaliers get to where they are now just by relying on LeBron James?

The Warriors have more superstars, while the Mavericks have an unparalleled super guard in Yiyang. Therefore, the two sides are strictly evenly matched. Evenly matched teams are more likely to play tiebreakers.

However, in fact, the Warriors and Mavericks are more terrifying than Xiao Hua imagined. Because these two teams can not only maintain their strength, but also continue to improve in their confrontation with each other!

In the second game of the series, Klay Thompson knew how to deal with Mitchell. Mitchell has always been inexperienced and has poor on-the-spot judgment ability. The reason why he was able to stick to Clay in the last game was entirely because the guy had thoroughly studied the tapes of Clay's previous games.

So Klay just didn't follow the routine in the second game. You thought he was going to shoot, but he broke through. You thought he was going to break out, but he stepped back and shot a jumper.

Mitchell was tortured to death by Clay. He is always a first-year rookie and still has flaws. And once Clay goes crazy, his power is no less than Curry.

In the second game, Klay defeated Mitchell with 38 points. His key jump shot in the last 10.4 seconds and his perfect defense against Yiyang helped the Warriors win the game by 3 points, ending the series. The total score moved to a 1-1 tie.

"The Golden State Warriors became the first team to win at the American Airlines Center in the playoffs this season, and this was also the first time the Mavericks lost in the playoffs!" Mike Breen shook his head, in front of the Warriors , even if the Mavericks win 75 games, they can't guarantee their undefeated status.

In the third game of the series, people thought that after Clay emerged from the shadows, the Warriors could continue to win two games in a row at Oracle Arena. However, Mitchell and Kuzma combined for 45 points, giving the Warriors a break.

After two games of training, the two newcomers Mitchell and Kuzma have adapted to the rhythm and intensity of the Western Conference finals, showing their outstanding talents.

Kuzma made 5 of 10 three-pointers, frequently making Durant look like a black question mark in games. Mitchell's impact caused Draymond Green to commit six fouls in the middle of the fourth quarter and leave the game in embarrassment.

And what about Yiyang? He carried the whole game with exaggerated statistics of 43 points, 14 assists and 0 turnovers. His passes could always find Mitchell and Kuzma, allowing the latter to score easily. Therefore, the Dallas Mavericks are the perfect habitat for all rookies to grow. Because the Mavericks have a super guard who can quickly help you find the scoring feeling!

Kuzma, Mitchell and Yiyang combined to score 88 points! Even the Big Three of the Heat couldn't produce this kind of data! Under the fierce firepower of the Mavericks, the Warriors also lost their first home game by 7 points. And 7 points is also the largest point difference in the Western Conference Finals so far.

2-1, the Mavericks evolved again in this game and polished their offense to the top. Now no one can predict what the final result will be, because you don't know how the Mavericks and Warriors will play in the next game.

Sure enough, in the fourth game of the series, the result once again exceeded people's expectations. Curry's touch was average today, coupled with Yiyang's desperate defense against him, Curry only made 2 of 10 three-pointers. His three-point field goal percentage and overall shooting percentage both hit a new low in the playoffs!

But Durant acted recklessly on Gay and Kuzma. When Curry was unable to score efficiently, Durant, last year's FMVP winner, took the initiative to take over the burden and used his super scoring desire and skills. Contributed 45 points in the whole game! Kuzma and Gay were powerless and had absolutely nothing to do with his offense.

Durant joined the Warriors with the purpose of defeating Yiyang. In the West, as long as you can defeat Yiyang, you will be the championship! The Western Conference finals are the most difficult battle, and the finals are just a formality.

So after Curry was suppressed to death, Durant still did not allow himself to fail. If he fails, there will be no point in him leaving the Thunder!

In the Thunder, he couldn't beat Yiyang. But in the Warriors, he will never allow himself to be defeated by the same person!

Yiyang once again created an incredible defensive record today, limiting Curry's scoring to only 17 points. But with the performance of Durant and Klay, the Warriors still narrowly defeated by 4 points, tied 2-2, and no one still led in the series!

In Game 5 of the series, back in Dallas, Hayward, who had always seemed to disappear, stood up again. When Yiyang was under the focus of the Warriors, Hayward stepped forward many times and hit key shots. In the last 28 seconds of the game, he even scored two three-pointers over Iguodala like a big heart. points, completely killing the game.

In this game, Yiyang only had 28 points and 11 assists, but Hayward's 36 points perfectly filled the vacancy after Yiyang was given more attention. Hayward stepped forward and helped the Mavericks get a match point in the Western Conference Finals. In the past many years, whenever the Mavericks take the lead in getting the match point, they will definitely be able to advance successfully in the next game!

"The next game back in Oakland will be a huge challenge for the Golden State Warriors! In the Western Conference semifinals, the Rockets also led the Warriors 3-2. If it weren't for Chris Paul's leg, God knows the Warriors would still be there now. Can you stand on the stage of the Western Conference Finals! But very unfortunately for the Warriors, the Mavericks are still relatively healthy. Yes, we know that Deron Williams is unable to play due to knee inflammation. But Deron Long's absence will obviously not greatly reduce the Mavericks' combat effectiveness. The Mavericks never miss a match point, and Oakland the day after tomorrow may become heaven or hell!"

After the game, Mike Breen was still unfulfilled. The two sides' fighting style of one punch and one palm has lasted for five games. Both teams can bring some surprises every time and can bring the situation back every time.

But one thing is that the Warriors have not changed in two consecutive games. That is Stephen Curry, who has been prevented from scoring by Yiyang for two consecutive games without breaking the 20 mark!

Curry only scored 17 points in the last game, and his shooting percentage was still very low. Curry's shooting percentage was normal in this game, but he only scored 19 points. Mainly because Curry no longer shot against the defense, so the shooting rate was normal. But again, if he doesn't take action, he will have fewer chances to score.

In fact, looking at the entire series, in the games where Curry played well, many goals were scored against the defense. In other words, Yiyang's defense against Curry was excellent from beginning to end. It’s just that in the last two games, Stephen’s luck has run out!

Will this point between Yiyang and Curry become a turning point in the entire series? The direct dialogue between the first and third players in the MVP rankings will also directly determine the direction of the game!

Curry has already killed Harden, who is second in the MVP rankings. I wonder if he can recover as soon as possible and take down Yiyang, who is ranked first in one fell swoop.

After losing the game, Curry lowered his head and walked straight into the locker room without being interviewed by reporters. This is the first time that Mike Breen has seen Curry decline like this.

Durant faced the camera, said "We will not lose", and left in a hurry.

Mike Brin can't tell who loses and wins in the end. But he could see that the Golden State Warriors, a space battleship that feared nothing but heaven and earth, was beginning to panic.
