The next day was an off-season, and the four teams from the East and West that had played on the first day continued to play.

That includes the Bulls and Pacers.

The Bulls still didn't have much to do against the Pacers' defense, and eventually lost 90-103.

However, for Chinese fans, it is gratifying that Yi Jianlian played well in this game!

In the last game, he only scored 5 points and 6 boards against O'Neal Jr., but he found his form in this game and scored 21 points and 6 boards!

The team's 27 points in scoring were second only to Francis, and also a new high in his playoff career.

Sun Hao was also very relieved when he saw the news.

That's a good sign.

The next night, the Mavericks sat at home to continue Game 2 with the Warriors.

This game has received a lot of attention.

In addition to Dallas fans looking forward to the team's comeback, there are also many media waiting to see the show.

The defending champions were eliminated in the first round, which is sure to be a big deal going on in the future.

After the warm-up of the players, Johnson made the final pre-game deployment.

He didn't make any adjustments to the overall tactics, but more focused on defensive details.

Everybody's understanding of the game is different, and Johnson felt that the first defeat was more of a defensive problem, so he wanted the team to do better tonight, also defensively.

Soon, a short whistle sounded from the sidelines, and the second game began immediately.

The two sides started one after another.

On the Mavericks' side, Sun Hao, Bale, Finley, Nowitzki, Dampier.

On the Warriors' side, Nash, Richardson, Antoine Walker, Jamison, Murphy.

Murphy pulled the ball back into the Warriors half court and officially kicked off the game.

Nash holds the ball and pushes to the frontcourt.

The Warriors' offense was fast, Walker came out through the cover, Nash faked the ball, and then distributed the ball to the bottom corner Richardson, who made a three-point shot.

"Huh!"

Richardson raised his knife and fell.

The Warriors came out on top.

D'Antoni's system is to play fast and increase the number of attacks in the round.

So even if I can't shoot, I still have a chance to catch up, but once I do, it's easy to pull the score away.

In the opening round, the Warriors looked good.

The Mavericks' first attack, Nowitzki put up to Sun Hao to block and dismantle, looking for a misplaced singles opportunity.

Again, Johnson's tactical deployment.

The Warriors didn't give it, and Sun Hao wrapped it up, and Sun Hao gave the ball to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki's mid-range shot was interfered with by Murphy, who helped the defense, and the ball smashed out of the frame, and the rebound was picked up by Walker.

Walker's quick one-handed pass to Nash.

That's a key factor in the Warriors' hiring of him, and like the Mavericks' Bodi Loga, Walker is an all-around forward.

The Warriors played a V-shaped fast break, and Nash threw the ball to Richardson, who cut in on the right.

Richardson took to the air, caught the ball with one hand, and slammed it into the basket before slamming it into the basket.

Dallas fans had the privilege of witnessing the Warriors' backcourt pairing.

0 to 5!

The win in the last game gave the Warriors a big morale boost, and this one gave the Mavericks a big disadvantage!

Johnson stood on the sidelines and shook his head, clearly disappointed by the team's opening defence.

His pre-match emphasis seemed to be unheard by the players.

Sun Hao held the ball to the front court again, made eye contact with Nowitzki, and then motioned for others to pull away.

The opening run was an execution of Johnson's tactics, but it proved once again that a misplaced single was not good for the Warriors.

Then you can only "do it again" as the brothers discussed before the game.

Nash looked back at the positions of the rest of the Mavericks, and quickly understood what Sun Hao wanted to do.

Sun Hao is still ready to press him to the ground and rub him as he did last year.

However, I, Steve, am not the teenager I was last year.

Nash pressed Sun Hao as soon as possible, and kept trying to emphasize that Sun Hao couldn't dribble with peace of mind and couldn't shoot easily.

Sun Hao was also a little surprised.

At this time in history, the Warriors' players have become worse defensively.

As a result, Nash got better.

It seems that the general environment can change people, but not everyone, there is Qinglian in the mud, and Nash is different.

Sun Hao directly accelerated through Nash......

Nash's defensive poor is mainly in physical matchups, and his short arm span makes him look weak when it comes to defensive breakouts.

Sun Hao didn't use too many skills to break through, he directly fought and squeezed, and Nash basically didn't have much to do.

Sun Hao broke through to the free throw line for a quick stop mid-range.

"Huh!"

The Mavericks finally broke the scoring drought on the court.

The scene erupted in cheers.

This two points are very thirst-quenching.

The Warriors play position, and they are still a fast offensive tactic, and this time it was Walker who shot.

The guy threw it one step away from the three-point line.

It's no wonder that Celtics management wants to send him away, even Nowitzki wouldn't dare to throw him away in this era.

"Huh!"

But Walker, throw the ball in!

As I've said before, shooting has a lot to do with mentality.

In the Celtics, even during the Carlisle era, no one was willing to let Walker shoot like that, and they were suppressing him.

But now in Auckland, the coaching staff is encouraging him to throw!

This made him feel more confident, and he turned out to be even more able to throw in!

2 to 8!

The Warriors' offensive state tonight is really better than the first game!

"The Dallasians are in trouble."

On the commentary bench, Kenny Smith spoke.

Although Sun Hao's breakthrough just now was very beautiful, it was a bit of a drop in the bucket.

And the most important thing is to play with restraint.

The Mavericks will always be on the back foot if they don't adjust.

"They have people who can solve problems."

Barkley looked at Sun Hao, who was advancing with the ball.

Nowitzki's opening shot was deflected wide and didn't look too good.

Now it's up to Sun Hao.

Playing for the Mavericks last season, he is well aware of Sun Hao's abilities.

Sun Hao arrived at the front court and continued to signal to pull away, and another breakthrough squeezed past Nash.

Nash's confrontation is also as invisible as the wind.

This time, Murphy on the inside pounced to help defend.

Sun Hao scored a pull-up layup after an air dodge.

After bouncing, he dared to make moves on the offensive end.

4 to 8!

The Warriors didn't make it in a row.

Sun Hao held the ball again, and with a first step, he directly forced Nash to retreat sharply.

After being sudden, Sun Hao was sudden, Nash's body must have reacted.

That's what Sun Hao wants.

He pulled back with a trademark crotch and then went straight to a three-point shot.

"Huh!"

Signature moves, signature threes!

After Sun Hao turned on his personal offensive mode, he scored 7 points in a row!

"What am I talking about? Sun can turn the game around! ”

On the commentary bench, Barkley has already stepped into the role.

Kenny Smith on the side laughed and shook his head.

The regular season blows, and the playoffs blow too.

After Barkley went to the Mavericks to play for a year, he has changed from the person who caught Sun Hao's wool to Sun Hao to Sun Fu.

However, there is nothing wrong with this blowing.

Sun Hao did turn the game around with his own strength.

Both teams missed once on the field.

The ball was in Sun Hao's hands again.

The Warriors came to the defense on the weak side.

Sun Hao gave the ball to Nowitzki and ran off the ball.

The rest of the Mavericks are getting pick-and-rolls.

Although this tactic is no longer the main tactic of the Mavericks, after all, it has only been a season, and the team has not changed much.

These tactical running instincts come out.

Nowitzki turned around and passed the ball after a single, and Sun Hao took the ball outside the three-point line by covering it and then shot.

The shot is fast, and the ball's trajectory is also accurate.

"Huh!"

The results did not disappoint.

Sun Hao's second three-pointer of the first quarter!

10 to 8!

The Mavericks overtook the score!

And 10 points, all from Sun Hao!

The cheers at the scene have exploded.

The "playoff Sun" they were familiar with had finally reappeared!

And this year, a little earlier than in previous years!

The Warriors called a timeout.

"Johnson found a way to beat the Warriors."

In the stands, Kenny Smith saw the root cause of the change on the field.

Sun Hao's personal ability is one thing, but it is obvious that Sun Hao's personal ability is definitely not to the point where Jordan does what he wants.

The reason why he scored consecutive points was entirely because of Nash's defense...... It's just too bad.

The Mavericks have been looking for misplaced singles opportunities in the last game, but now it seems that Sun Hao's play against Nash is not a misalignment, but the best singles point.

Johnson finally found out about it.

It's just that maybe Smith himself can't even think that he is ...... Misunderstood Johnson.

However, after the timeout, Johnson also took the tactical board to change tactics.

He is paranoid and unwilling to admit that there is something wrong with his tactics.

But, after all, he is still young, and he is not yet an old stubborn like Brown.

He can still tell the situation on the pitch.

Sun Hao beats Nash, this is a natural "dislocation".

It's just that Sun Hao's approach of not implementing his tactics and playing according to his own ideas on the field, similar to "military advice", makes him not so comfortable.

Of course, he wouldn't have thought of why Sun Hao would do that.

The timeout came back and the game continued.

The Mavericks have defensive adjustments.

Johnson used Sun Hao to defend Nash.

Hit you on the offensive end, pinch you on the defensive end.

After realizing that Nash was a breakthrough in the situation on the court, Johnson did not hold back.

The Warriors' positional offense was somewhat stalled.

Johnson is still sharp on the defensive end.

D'Antoni's tactical system is fast, but as far as positional warfare is concerned, no matter how it is played, it is built on Nash and his teammates to block and dismantle.

Sun Hao's individual defense is not as strong as the previous Bell, but his ability to block and dismantle is excellent.

This time, it's like pinching a snake by seven inches, no matter how much it flutters, it can't bite anyone.

The first wave of offense that the Warriors came back from a pause ended in failure!

The Mavericks attacked the frontcourt, Sun Hao met the bag with the ball, he seconds Bell, Bell received the ball in the vacant position and shot decisively.

"Huh!"

Bale's three points, too!

13 to 8!

The Mavericks went on an 11-0 run!

It's raining for three minutes!

D'Antoni reached out and scratched his head.

The Warriors' last game was able to win because of the Mavericks' insistence on playing misplaced tactics.

If the opponent can't score, push the defense and counterattack, which is the favorite rhythm of the run-and-gun tactic.

However, the Mavericks have advanced in the positional battle, and the Warriors have no chance to defend and counterattack, and the two sides will definitely suffer if they enter the positional battle game.

In fact, Johnson is paranoid, or if he is replaced by Nelson Sr., he will definitely find out this if he didn't finish the last game.

After all, playing run and bomb, he is at the level of an ancestor.

The game on the field continues.

Sun Hao and Nowitzki played blocking and dismantling, and when they saw that the Warriors did not wrap up again, they directly scored a wave of points.

Nowitzki received Sun Hao's return pass at a 45-degree angle on the right side and made a three-point shot.

"Huh!"

The feel will be contagious, Nowitzki's three-point shot, also scored!

16 to 8!

14 to 0!

The Mavericks' offensive climax continues!

"Run! Run! ”

Just now, D'Antoni had an exchange with head coach Musselman, who got up and shouted at the Warriors on the sidelines.

The Warriors sent the ball out of the backcourt and played straight forward.

This is a forced speed-up.

This scene is no stranger to Dallas fans, who played the Spurs in the playoffs.

But that's when D'Antoni spotted the Warriors...... Still can't pick up the speed.

Johnson has his flaws, but he also has his strengths, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to take the Mavericks to 57 wins.

And his biggest advantage is that he has implanted the idea of defense into this Mavericks.

This includes using Sun Hao to change the defense of Nash in front of him and pinch the Warriors' positional offense.

It also includes the various off-ball slots on the field at this time.

At the start of the season, Johnson was unhappy with the team's offensive and defensive transitions.

He kept emphasizing that throughout the season.

One season later, his hard work has finally paid off.

This is not a hasty retreat like a missed shot in the last game, but a one-on-one retreat to stand in position.

Stuck without the ball, the Warriors can't get up fast if they want to.

The Warriors were forced to move to the ground again.

Nash showed his ability this time and burst into the interior to score a "lying shot".

Only this time, it was Nash's turn.

At the end of the first quarter, the score on the court was 33-20.

The Mavericks first suppressed and then rose, falling behind 2-8 in the opening game, and finally led the Warriors by 13 points in the final quarter!

The emotions of the fans at the scene instantly returned to normal.

The first one or something, it's just that they didn't open it the right way.

The current score and situation are the right way to open the first round!

In the end, the Mavericks rebounded strongly in Game 2 and defeated the Warriors 114-97 to tie the series at 1-1.

Sun Hao performed bravely, scoring a big double-double of 31 points and 10 assists in the third quarter.

As it turns out, Nash really is an ATM.

"We have the core of the worst defensive team in history."

"Without defense, what do we rely on to win championships?"

"Let D'Antoni and Nash fuck off, we don't need them!"

……

In the post-game forum, some angry Warriors fans made such noises.

At this time, they have forgotten how many years the Warriors did not make the playoffs before Nash came.

But this may be the part of the fans who can witness victory and glory with you, but will never be able to experience defeat and setbacks with you.

It's just that the jealous Steve, this time he really wants to hate Sun Hao. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
