Before the game began, Rick? Carlisle has done a lot of mobilising to get his players in the best possible shape. Nowitzki also stepped up to cheer the whole team on in the dressing room, trying to set an example.

Nowitzki has won the regular season MVP, has personal honors, and his biggest goal is a championship ring. Kidd also thinks the same way, he is getting older and older, if he doesn't win the championship in these two years, he is afraid that he will be weak and it will be difficult to hit the championship again.

There was a good atmosphere in the Mavericks.

In the Warriors locker room, Nelson Sr. is also doing a general mobilization to make the players work harder. 'My requirement is to play and defend as hard as you can, especially defensively. In the last series, I think you should have learned something from the Jazz, and that is the fighting spirit. They work hard and know how to use fouls to challenge the bottom line of the referee's blowing. It may be called dirty, but there's no denying that a dirty team is more likely to win, and as long as we win at the end, no one will call us dirty. How dirty were the Celtics, the Spurs were dirty back then, everyone wouldn't be ignorant, right? ”

"Fight with them! We will win. Zhou Xuan shouted.

The players responded. Jackson saw that he took the initiative to take the lead, and he was not dissatisfied. Zhou Xuan is young and energetic, and he does know how to enliven the atmosphere better than him. Although it may seem a bit two, in fact, in a way, it is quite powerful. At this point in the season, all the high-pick rookies were eliminated, and there was no one who dared to have this kind of voice in the team, even if the Bulls Rose was not the leader, Gordon was the team's first scoring point.

Zhou Xuan wants to do more for the team, not only on the offensive end, he is now used to seeing himself as the core of the team.

At the start of the season, he was decent and passing-oriented. After Jackson and Margeti were injured, he took advantage of the opportunity to step up, and by now, he is the most popular man for the Warriors. He wants to be the core, and it is no longer about grabbing the boss, but what the fans are looking forward to. If he still sees himself as a role player, it's not humility, it's hypocrisy.

When a group of "Xuan Hei" scolded Zhou Xuan for not shooting accurately, breaking through not sharp, and passing not fancy, Zhou Xuan tormented his opponent with his simple offense in the first round of the playoffs, and he was also confident to overwhelm Kidd in this series.

It proved that Ellis and Zhou Xuan starting together were difficult for the Mavericks to defend, so Nelson Sr. was ready to shift his offensive focus to the outside.

The Warriors' starting five are Zhou Xuan, Ellis, Jackson, Marion, and Randolph.

There was a change in the Mavericks' starting lineup, with Barria coming into the starting lineup and Terry coming off the bench. This is to further increase the attack power of the substitute lineup.

No matter who is against Barria, there is an obvious height advantage, Zhou Xuan pulled out a three-point shot as soon as he came up, but he popped out of the frame, and 1 minute later, he pulled out again, and still didn't score.

"No, I played too steadily before, and I couldn't throw this simple opportunity, so I have to practice this trick well, so that I can score more points." Zhou Xuan thought while defending.

If it's just an organization, you can't pose much of a threat on the offensive end. It's just more passes, fewer shots, and more pass assists. Zhou Xuan felt that only by playing like Paul was the most threatening. He's got to get closer in that direction, even a double-tail.

The Mavericks started the game well, with Nowitzki scoring nine straight points and sending the Warriors to a four-of-the-art shot. But today the Warriors don't contain him, concentrate on defending others, and resolutely defend one. Terry wasn't there, and the Warriors didn't feel the need to wrap up Nowitzki. Marion defended alone, and Howard handed it to Jackson.

It was precisely because Jackson did not work with Marion to limit Nowitzki that the Germans had more room to play. But others are having a hard time opening it again. The Warriors attack, Barria is also an obvious weakness, as long as he is misplaced, whether it is Marion or Randolph, he can bully him with his body.

Barria's face frame and breakthrough can do some work, but they can't defend the back. Randolph and Marion's main means of attack is their backs.

The Warriors led by four points in the first quarter, 26-22.

In the second quarter, the Warriors made a change and began to go crazy fast-breaking. They fielded Watson and Ellis in the backcourt, and small forward Azubuike and inside were two strong men, Margeti and Turiaf.

The Mavericks only have one speedy player, Terry, plus Antoine? Wright, Gerrard? Green, Bass, and Hollins are four.

Carlisle gave Green a chance, a super-physical player who won the dunk championship and was nicknamed "The Celestial Hand," who accidentally punctured his finger with a nail in the wall as a child while playing. The wound infection became more and more serious, and the doctor had to cut off a section of his right ring finger.

Because of his fingers, Green is not very favored, and was cut by the Rockets last season. And Green believes that he has a lot of strength, and the situation after arriving at the Rockets should not be difficult to get playing time, and he shows this idea in his words and deeds, which has caused some dissatisfaction among the Rockets' top management.

As soon as Green came on the court, he didn't care about passing the ball at all, and he was not interested in grabbing rebounds, just shooting and scoring. It can be said that as long as he is there, the tactics will be affected, and the fight is very simple. Carlisle doesn't know how to use him, mainly because of his style, and Terry is also someone who needs the ball and singles, and the two overlap.

In contrast, the Warriors have a stronger attack, and all four people can hit the basket on a fast break. Terry can attack, but he can't. Bass, who had a good first game, was also lost today. Bass is a good blue-collar worker and not a good scorer, but Margeti is a strong scorer in the No. 4 position, and he can do it inside and out.

When Zhou Xuan and Duby replaced Ellis and Watson, the Warriors continued to maintain a two-guard formation, and the Mavericks replaced Wright or Kidd, and the movement speed was a little slower.

After all, Kidd is a veteran, and he can't compare with Zhou Xuan in straight line acceleration, and his lateral movement is also slow, and he is now more suitable to defend the No. 2 player than the point guard. In the first round, the Jazz suffered a big loss because the backcourt speed was not as fast as the Warriors, although the Mavericks had Terry and Barria, but they couldn't let them be on the court together, so Kidd had to play on the bench, and if Kidd didn't play, no one would be good at organizing offense. Which coach would do that?

At halftime, the Warriors led by eight points.

In the second half, Carlisle, who was eager to score the most points and defend the outside of the Warriors, replaced the inside combination of Bass and Nowitzki. But except for Nowitzki, the other players have lost their touch and hit the iron frequently, which is very deadly.

After a quiet half, Randolph, who only had 5 shots, came to the game and hit consecutive singles in the low post to widen the score. The Mavericks are not a defensive team either, especially the interior defense has a lot of holes, and they are caught by the Warriors and the fight is endless, and their shooting percentage has also decreased, relying too much on Nowitzki, Howard, who is good at shooting and scoring, singled out Jackson, which is very inefficient. Terry is also difficult to break through against the fast Ellis, as for the other two positions, Dampier can't beat Randolph, and Kidd can't pass Zhou Xuan, so he can only organize, pass, and wait for opportunities.

This time, Zhou Xuan didn't give Kidd any chance to make an easy move. The media always said that he was not good at defense, and he also wanted to prove himself once, so he reduced the help defense and strictly guarded Kidd.

By the middle of the fourth quarter, the difference between the two sides widened to 16 points, and the Mavericks always trailed.

The final score was 113-99, and the Warriors scored another game. Zhou Xuan had 17 points and 8 assists, and Kidd only had 2 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

The Mavericks had only three players score in double figures. Nowitzki had 43 points and eight rebounds, and Howard had 16 points and five rebounds. John Terry had 18 points and five assists.

Before the match, Carlisle was confident: "We will make the opponent who pinches Dirk pay!" ”

Price? Carlisle believes the Mavericks have a number of good scorers besides Nowitzki. Flanking Dirk? That only makes the Mavericks' offense more balanced. However, Carlisle clearly miscalculated in this match, as no one on Nowitzki's side stepped forward.

The Warriors had six players score in double figures. Randolph blew up Dampier again, chipped in 19 points and 11 rebounds. Margety, Ellis, Jackson and Azubuke also played well.

The Mavericks are already on the edge of a cliff, and few teams can come back from 2-0 down.

ESPN Van Gundy commented on the situation in these two games, saying that the Mavericks are no longer singing. They have exposed several shortcomings that are difficult to make up.

The Mavericks look too old, even with a few young players, they are very old. They seem to be able to play a regular battle, attacking from the position, and every player is doing the work arranged by the coach in a decent manner. When the opponent messes around, the calf really has no problem. The Mavericks seem to be scared of these young people, and the last thing the Warriors lack is young people.

Then there's the Mavericks' style, they're not tough enough. Watching the Mavericks play will feel passionless, although the game can be won, but it seems soft. Or the team lacks personality, and as a top team, the Mavericks do not have the unrestrainedness of the Suns, the composure of the Spurs, and the destruction of the Jazz. There is no warrior's offensive and defensive eclecticism, and all people are soldiers.

The most important thing is the problem of the inside line, it is obvious in the regular season, Dampier is slow, he can't prevent it, and the Mavericks are basically waiting to be blown up when they meet a strong team on the inside, and this drawback is obvious. Unless they bring in a good center who can defend, they don't want to win a championship. Some say Nowitzki is a small forward with a big man. This is actually very true, although he can attract the bag, but his offensive means are mainly shooting, everyone has a bad hand, once he loses the crosshair, then he can only be abused.

'For us, it's only bad luck to lose lately. Mavericks head coach Carlisle said: "We try to control their shooting vision and offensive distance, and who would have thought that the basket in the second half would have a lid on it, and as a head coach, this is the game that I fear the most." ”

Nelson Sr. fell into the trap and said that the team was luckier. Actually, it's not luck, it's that the Warriors have more scoring points, and there are always a few people who step up every game.

With a day off, the battle on both sides will move to Dallas.
