Time slowly came to the third day, the Rockets' opponent has not yet come out, and after the Thunder returned to their home court in the last game, they actually broke out again, and when the score fell behind in the final quarter, they actually relied on Durant to take away the Mavericks in a wave.

The home Thunder narrowly won 116-114 to take away the game, if it weren't for Marion's final stunner, maybe it would be the Rockets and Mavericks who played today, but the Mavericks lost, so that the Rockets would have more time to rest.

After a whole day of training at the Toyota Center, Adelman finally kept the players, and today is the game between the Mavericks and the Thunder, and the reason why Adelman kept everyone is obviously visible, ready to let the players watch the game with him.

In this way, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can survive a hundred battles, Adelman still understands these truths very well, and in the end, in the summer, Hayward was left at home and went to Adelman's house with the others.

In the evening, the game officially began, and it was still the duo of Barkley and Smith who commented on the game, and the two began to fight each other as soon as the game began.

"Hey, Jazz, who do you think is going to win this game? I'm very optimistic about the Thunder, Durant's final performance in the last game was simply perfect, scoring 6 points in two minutes to beat the Mavericks in one fell swoop, and he deserves to be a man with the title of Grim Reaper. "Smith sided with the Thunder as soon as he came up, and Barkley had no choice but to side with the Mavericks.

"No, no, no, let's look at the big score, now it's the Mavericks' 3-2 win over the Thunder, I think the Mavericks' performance is really impeccable, and they shot the opponent alive, do you dare to believe it." Barkley shook his head.

And Smith is not convinced, you said that you are shooting the opponent alive, don't you know that you can't win the championship by shooting?

"Hey, hey, you can't win a championship if you shoot, right? Let's look at the Thunder, whether it's Westbrook or Ibaka, these are All-Star level players, and I don't believe the Mavericks can withstand them, let alone whose home court this is. ”

"What about the All-Star level? It's just their potential, you know? Is it possible for a group of young people to resist today's calves? The Mavericks were obviously slack in the last game, and I believe they will win this battle of life and death. ”

As he spoke, the two commentators began to argue again, and the Rockets players rolled their eyes, especially Yao Ming, you must know that Yao Ming was still very unhappy that Barkley was not optimistic about him.

The game started slowly, and the Mavericks jumped to the ball, but they began to switch their style of play at the beginning, and instead of looking for opportunities to shoot on the outside like in previous games, they let the old driver and Chandler on the inside start to attack.

"It seems that they are ready to seize the soft underbelly of the Thunder in this game, although the current Thunder has an excellent backcourt configuration, but this interior line is completely only Ibaka alone to support the big wood, the combination of Chandler + Dirk, there are few teams in this league that can resist them." Adelman said, shaking his head.

And the situation on the court was just as Adelman said, after the Mavericks launched an inside offensive, the Thunder's score was pulled away in just half a quarter.

14:9

The Mavericks' shooters also focused on defense after not attacking, Durant and Martin were dumb in succession, and the only nine points were basically scored by Westbrook's breakthrough.

During the regular rotation time, the Mavericks called a timeout, and the two sides made substitutions, and it can be seen that the coach of the Thunder was very anxious and kept pointing and drawing with the tactical board.

The game restarted, the lineup on the Thunder's side was almost unchanged, the five starters were still on the court, but the Mavericks put Dirk and Kidd down, and the game was still going on.

After Dirk went off, the Mavericks began to switch strategies, the outside pitchers refired, and Chandler began to roam around the perimeter to create opportunities for his teammates to cover.

"Accurately, did they hide their strength during the regular season? They didn't come back to the regular season so accurately, did they? Harden said confusedly.

"No, no, no, the hidden strength should not be, you look at the ranking of the calf, sixth! And the seventh and eighth are still chasing so closely, it shouldn't be possible to hide their strength. Adelman said slowly.

"But this playoffs and the regular season have changed too much, you see, it's in again! Oh my God, Durant's defense is already in place, and he still scored! Harden said loudly, pointing to the TV series.

"Maybe it's a touch." At this time, Yao Ming on the side couldn't help frowning.

The game continued, and it could be seen on TV how energetic the Mavericks and Thunder were fighting, and all kinds of physical confrontations were exhausted, and neither of the two sides was easy to make layups anyway.

At halftime, Adelman couldn't help but look at everyone, his face was extremely serious, "What do you think?" Words against these two teams. ”

"It's hard to play, it's very difficult to play, compared to the Jazz's defense, the defense of these two teams is obviously a step up, so it can be said that we played the Jazz too easily." The first to speak was Harden, whose face was a little ugly.

I thought that after playing Jazz, I should be able to relax, after all, Jazz is also a well-known defensive team, but now I really can't compare! Compared to the defense of the Mavericks and the Thunder, it is simply not a level!

Maybe it's because of the Jazz's team atmosphere, or maybe it's because there is no backbone on the court, anyway, the Jazz's defense is really bad, maybe it's a little stronger than the regular season defense.

"Yes, the defense is strong and the offense is good, we were able to win the Mavericks before because they were dumb on the outside, but if they fired on the outside, it was really difficult to play, and more importantly, they were not inferior to our interior at all, Dirk and Chandler were still in their prime." Then Yao Ming said his thoughts.

looked at Harden and Yao Ming, are these two here to grab the lines? You must know that he thought the same way before, but he was finished before he could open his mouth, which was very uncomfortable.

After a long time, seeing that no one spoke, Adelman spoke, "Well, you're all right, but what do you think you should do to the calf, express your opinion." ”

Everyone didn't speak, and finally Yao Ming stood up and expressed his opinion: "I think we have to block their passing routes, we can use Jordan's rule to limit them when necessary, and if I defend, if Dirk can kill us alone, we can only admit it." ”

"Yes, the idea is good, then let me talk about my thoughts, if it's right, the Mavericks should win the game, you guys come around and I'll talk about my new tactics." Adelman said in praise.

Adelman began to explain the tactics to the crowd, and as time passed, the game on TV ended, and as Adelman expected, the Mavericks took the game 105-98.

In this way, the Mavericks are finally promoted, and the Mavericks are tired after six games, and then the Mavericks will rest for three days, and then come to visit the Toyota Center to challenge the Rockets....
