Chapter 535: Before the Third War

"We have home field advantage, so trust me, it's not a big deal to lose the first game, as long as we can win our home game, we can get back to this arena with match points, I don't think we can't do it, guys, let's go back and pick ourselves up and win two in a row, and end this series easily and simply, and then welcome our first championship!"

Rick Carlisle tried his best to comfort his players on the plane back, and to be honest, tonight's defeat was a bit too unexpected.

They would have lost by 16 points at Madison Square!

If they continue to work hard like that, Rick Carlisle doesn't think they can make a big difference when they return to their home stadium, but he really can't say it truthfully, if he says this, he doesn't have to play in the next games, and he doesn't have to think about it at all, he will definitely lose!

He still has to be confident to inspire his teammates!

It's just that after a fiasco, no one in the Mavericks wanted to speak, and they all kept their heads down in silence, even the most active Jason Terry, who didn't know what he was sending when he got a mobile phone.

He was frustrated, for sure, after winning the first game, he thought it was almost over!

He really thinks so!

He was moved by the hard work the Mavericks showed in Game 1, and he believes that all fans who watched Game 1 will think they deserve everyone's respect.

Veterans don't die, they just wither, but veterans also yearn for championship trophies, and veterans' hearts towards the championship can't be underestimated!

“wtf!”

Jason Terry cursed in his heart, the first game of the finals should have been a copy of the first game, but his performance tonight was too bad!

That's right, he's at himself, and he's sorry for his own slump tonight!

He scored just eight points tonight, which was the first time he scored in the previous game.

There were a lot of people who stepped up in the last game, and Jason Terry was just one of them, others such as Jason Kidd, Deshaun Stevenson, etc., all stepped up when they needed to score in the first game.

Tonight, when someone needed to step up and no one could step up again, Jason Terry was desperate to be able to step up, and that's why he's going to keep coming up tonight, trying to save the Mavericks and be the Mavericks' savior.

But the ending is unfortunate, his state is so bad that it makes people shake their heads.

If that many shots were given to other players tonight, wouldn't the Mavericks lose these games?

That's why Jason Terry struggled with the fact that he took the opportunity to save the Mavericks and didn't work out in the end, which is really devastating!

Derknowitzki's face is also very bad, tonight he feels like he is back in the last four games of the '06 finals, that feeling of powerlessness from the beginning to the end of the second half of the game, it is a feeling that he can't win, Derknowitz doesn't like that feeling, it's almost his nightmare!

Now that the nightmare has arrived, he has once again become a victim of the nightmare, which makes him unwilling but helpless.

The plane flew away from New York and gradually approached Dallas.

The Mavericks players have their hearts and minds waiting for the start of Game 3 of the Finals!

'We're going to win for sure, we're going to get home advantage, we're going to get match points, and I'm sure that's the final script!'

"Did you see the Knicks' defense? How can the Mavericks break through such a defense, I think, the result is already obvious, and in the end New York will win 4-1 because we have found our blood! Most importantly, we have easy! ”

The days when there was no Finals were the days when Mavericks fans and Knicks fans quarreled on the Internet, and the two sides argued very fiercely.

As things stand, fans on both sides have high expectations that their teams will win.

Experts from all walks of life are obviously much more cautious when evaluating who of these two teams will win the championship: "Seriously, before the Finals began, I never thought that this series would be so unpredictable, the Mavericks' tenacity beyond most people's imagination, and the Knicks' tough defense in Game 2, these are things they haven't shown this season, relying on these advantages, they each won a game, and the whole series became more confusing. Now anyone who feels that he already knows who is the champion is selfish, I have to say that the two teams in this year's finals have a way to make themselves the champion, and now the main thing to see is which of these two teams uses the method correctly more times! ”

More experts are biased towards five or five!

They all felt that the difference in quality between the two teams was not huge.

"Everything depends on the performance of the two teams!"

***

The Knicks arrived in Dallas a day early, and Yi Jianlian still has a good impression of the city, after all, the first MVP of his career was the All-Star MVP won at the All-Star Game held in the city!

It's just that what Yi Jianlian didn't expect was that his arrival this time caused huge public outrage, and all the Dallas people were eyeing him when they saw him.

They all regard Yi Jianlian as their number one enemy.

It's no wonder that for the Dallasians, they have been waiting for the Dallas Mavericks to win the first championship trophy in team history for n years, from the creation of this team to the present, they have not had a championship trophy in team history, 06 is the closest they have come, but that time has become a pain in the hearts of all Dallas fans.

If you have to compare, it may only be compared to the pain of the Mavericks when they were "black eight" by the Warriors in 07, when the Mavericks won 67 wins in the regular season, swept the entire league, unstoppable, and completely pointed to the momentum of the championship, who would have thought that they would let the Warriors enter the playoffs, but the Warriors would not let them go to the next level.

The Dallas Mavericks have also been in a slump for n years because of this "Black Eight Miracle", and until this year, they finally reached the Finals!

And they also got their first win in the Grand Finals!

This victory is a reflection of the Mavericks and the entire city of Dallas, and that kind of tenacity is the most representative of the city of Dallas!

They are also very happy that this is not bad, even if they lost badly in '06, but compared to '06, this year's Mavericks are undoubtedly the most representative of the city!

After losing in 06 years, the significance of winning this championship trophy is even more significant!

But what no one expected was that the Knicks were unusually in the second game, they used the Bulls-style style of play to establish enough advantages in the first half, and in the second half, they reversed the thinking and changed the Knicks' regular style of play to avoid all the targets of Rick Carlisle, and finally beat the Mavericks and beat the Dallas Mavericks to no temper at all.

This strong rebound has made Dallas deeply wary.

This is also the reason why they will hate Yi Jianlian so much, this man may ruin their dream of getting close to the championship trophy for the second time.

How can they still be calm about Yi Jianlian?

On the day of the game, the entire route arena was full of Mavericks fans, and what many people didn't know was that the Mavericks' home attendance has always been in the top three in the league.

But in fact, when the Mavericks go out to play on the road, the stadium attendance on the away side will not increase much because of the arrival of this team, and it is even possible that it will decrease.

This team is not very exposed in the league.

In the perception of many fans, when it comes to the Mavericks, the first reaction is Dirk Nowitzki, which must be undoubted, no one will ignore the spirit of the team, but the second guy who is sounded is often Mark Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks.

Especially for the remnants of the Rockets, when they talk about the Mavericks, they will talk about Mark Cuban, and at the same time have a mood of wanting to kill and then hurry.

There's no way they can't help hating!

Mark Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks who always likes to pay fines, is really temperamental, but in order for the team to go further in the playoffs, he specially collected Yao Ming's seemingly foul but was not whistled when he was defending the pick-and-roll and sideways, and cut it into a video and sent it to the league headquarters, which was a lot harsher for Yao Ming's whistle in the next game between the Mavericks and the Rockets, which also led to Yao Ming being affected by the whistle in that series, and the series was finally won by the Mavericks 4-3.

That season was Maddy's first season with the Rockets, and it was also one of the few seasons in which the "Yao Mai Combination" remained healthy, and the combination of the two of them also allowed the league to see infinite possibilities, but unfortunately this season of infinite possibilities was ruined by a video of Mark Cuban.

After that, the "Yao Mai Combination" was unable to play the upper limit they should have due to injury problems.

This is the eternal pain in the hearts of the remnants of the rockets of those years.

The league's strict whistle on Yao Ming also began after that, and almost every action of Yao Ming in the playoffs was accompanied by the danger of being blown foul, even so Yao Ming still grew into the league's No. 1 center, which shows his strong ability.

I'll avenge you for this revenge!

Yi Jianlian also remembered this incident, and part of the reason why he wanted to win the Mavericks was because of this incident.

In his opinion, Mark Cuban is really a little unscrupulous in order to win!

He is not afraid that Mark Cuban will treat him like this, and he will also get a video to send to the league, not to mention that he cannot have such a problem, and now the scale of the league's blowing punishment has changed a lot from 5 years ago.

Even if Mark Cuban really collects it, then Yi Jianlian is not afraid, although he may be beaten in this way, but Yi Jianlian feels that his influence has far exceeded Yao Ming at that time, he has won three consecutive All-Star vote kings, especially this year he has created a new record of ticket kings, he also defeated Kobe Bryant last season and became the first person in the league, and more importantly, he is now in New York, Mark Cuban dares to hand over the video, and with the means of New Yorkers, he will scare you back in minutes!

Mark Cuban probably wouldn't be willing to provoke the mad dogs in New York!

So he was very relieved.

This is also the reason why he left the Bucks in the first place, the Herb Cole guy will not put pressure on him in the back when he encounters the same thing, this kind of guy only cares about money.

"Knicks, you're going to suffer two straight defeats here!"

"Huaxia Yi, you can't get more than 30 points here!"

"There are going to be a few more dejected New Yorkers here tonight!"

Amid the ridicule of the Dallas fans, the Knicks players walked out of the away lane, and the moment they walked out, the boos of the entire arena became louder!

The city of Dallas is passionate and unrestrained, in every way, including boos......

And cheers......

If the boos and cheers in Salt Lake City were because the fanatical religious crowd couldn't get vent from the dull and dull daily life, then for the Dallas fans, it was all the enthusiasm that sustained them and burned all their strength.

The Mavericks came out to the roar of cheers, each with a relaxed look on their faces, and after a day of recuperation, they also seemed to have forgotten about the 16-point loss to the Knicks in their last game.

Of course, you really don't have to remember too clearly, whether you lose by 16 points or 1 point, that's a thing of the past, and this defeat is reflected in the data board, and it's only 1 point!

They didn't lose because they were now tied 1-1!

It's just that when Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry saw Yi Jianlian, their expressions still changed slightly, and this guy used his ability to let the Knicks successfully lead the Mavericks in the second game.

What kind of routines did he prepare for this game!?

If you think about it carefully, this guy was also the guy who suddenly persuaded D'Antoni to put Dragic in the No. 1 position in the Eastern Conference finals, won the crucial third game, and took the initiative to defend Derrick Rose in the last game of the Eastern Conference finals, breaking the Bulls' sharpest spear, this guy can always come up with some strange moves!

This made Dirk Novis nervous.

The race was soon underway......

Tyson Chandler jumped the ball with Smalls and easily jumped to the serve.

The ball was skimmed by Tyson Chandler into Jason Kidd's hands.

Kidd slowly dribbled the ball while he began to direct his teammates to run.

Dirk Nowitzki landed in the corner, and he would get up and down to the right of the free-throw line before hitting the first goal of the game.

He believed in his shooting ability, especially when the game had just started and he was full of energy, but when he was in position, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the player who was playing with him.

Standing in front of him was ...... It's Yi Jianlian!
