Chapter 867: Giant Planet

Rebounding, defending, and playmaking, Rudy Gobert does everything a functional interior can do. ~Sui~Dream~Small~Say~щ~Suimеng~Lā The Warriors' offense was destroyed by Gobert twice in a row, and Gobert's rebounding was also a guarantee for the Mavericks to be able to play a quick counterattack.

Fortunately, Stephen Kerr called a timeout in time when the Mavericks were getting up, which prevented the Mavericks from scoring consecutive points. One of the reasons most teams lose to the Mavericks is that the timeout is not called in time. By the time they wanted to call a timeout, the score had already been pulled away.

Against a team like the Mavericks, you can't just wait until they're already in the lead and then call a timeout because it's too late. You have to break the rhythm when they just start to equalise or even before they can equalise.

Cole naturally knows this very well, after all, he and Mavericks have been old rivals for so many years. Although the configuration of the Mavericks team has changed, as long as Yiyang's core is not changed, Xiao is still the same Maverick.

After the timeout, the Warriors' offense was a lot more solid. They played very patiently and waited for the opportunity to make a move.

On the defensive end, the Warriors directly gave up the opportunity to attack a second time, and once they missed, they immediately retreated. Use quick positioning to open up a defensive position and force the Mavericks into positional battles.

Carlisle admires Cole's coaching skills and is probably the only one who can control the tempo of a player.

After the timeout, the tempo of both sides slowed down a little and they were not impatient. The Warriors are starting to look more for opportunities on the outside, as the Mavericks' weak interior defense is a thing of the past. The Mavericks, on the other hand, combined with their throws under Yiyang's organization, scored frequently.

Neither side seemed to be able to prevent anyone, and the score rose alternately. In a matchup like the Western Conference Finals, there's no such thing as a pure second lineup. Normally, the coaches of both sides do not dare to change the full bench line-up easily. They will adjust the playing time of the players so that at the very least, there is a mix of starters and substitutes on the pitch.

In this way, the terrifying attack power of both sides can last a full 48 minutes of play, and every minute and second of the game is very crucial. At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led the Mavericks by one point at 32-31.

After the start of the second quarter, Hayward frequently hit mid-range jumpers. For the sake of Yiyang, the Warriors did not hesitate to let Iguodala press to the middle and be ready to help defend at any time. And in doing so, it naturally gives Hayward a lot of space. Hayward's stats may not be as explosive, and there isn't usually much news about him in Dallas.

But as a second-in-command, as Yiyang's right-hand man, Hayward's performance this season is still very satisfying, because he has always been able to do his job well.

When Yiyang is attacked by targeted defense, Hayward can often stand up immediately and share the pressure for Yiyang. That's the responsibility of a number two, Carlisle doesn't ask him to score exaggerated points, he doesn't ask him to organize, score and defend. As long as you can share the pressure for Yiyang, this is enough.

Hayward was stunned in the second quarter of the game, and the Warriors had to give up their defensive strategy against Yiyang. Hayward managed to attract the defense, and Yiyang was able to free himself again.

And Klay, who was thought to explode against a rookie, played extremely hard outside the three-point line today. Obviously, he didn't succeed in helping Curry share the pressure.

Mitchell's kid is reminiscent of Aussie Dellavedova a few years ago, and he used his body and tireless running to cause huge problems for Klay, a master of off-ball offense. Although Curry and Durant's scoring is still efficient, as long as they can block the Warriors by one point, the Mavericks' defense will be considered a success!

Neither of the two teams can help anyone, you sing and I will appear. Yiyang just made a quick stop jump shot, and Curry shot a three-point shot from beyond the three-point line. Hayward forced a layup with Iguodala on his shoulder, and Durant lifted it high, making Guy or Kuzma desperate.

Rushing, yelling, shoving and trash talking, the game was extremely intense, but on closer inspection, neither team could take a lead of more than 6 points!

In the last 24 seconds of the third quarter, Curry's ultra-long-range three-pointers gave the Warriors a 7-point lead! As everyone knows, in the last 24 seconds, Yiyang personally sent the baseline ball and made a long pass directly to the frontcourt, allowing Hayward to return a three-point whistle. In the end, the Warriors only went off with a 4-point advantage, and the score was still very close!

"At the Center Arena on American Airlines, there are very few teams that can still lead the Mavericks after three quarters. We are used to watching Yiyang's performance of clocking in and out of work on the third day, and the competition is suddenly so anxious, and we are really a little uncomfortable. ”

"What's wrong with the Mavericks' play? There was nothing wrong with it. Except for the slight embarrassment between Guy and Kuzma when they faced Durant, there was nothing bad about it. But against the Warriors, it is obviously not enough to play normally. The Mavericks will have to play better to keep this home court! ”

The commentators were nervously analyzing the situation, and they usually watched the Mavericks game, and at this time they should have been chatting about the parents. I have to say that the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the warriors are still not simple.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, a block by Gobert and Yiyang made Green unexpectedly misplaced in front of Yiyang. Yiyang raised his hand to signal everyone to pull away, in the face of this big dislocation, Yiyang is eager to get a singles opportunity!

Yiyang's dribbling is dazzling, and the rhythm is unpredictable. But Green didn't move, just stared at the basketball. Although this guy has a bit of a nasty mouth, he is still very good at defense. If the ordinary inner line is to be shaken by Yiyang like this, it will be stopped a long time ago.

Seeing that Green was unwavering, Yiyang had to use a simple step back to open up a little space for himself, and then shoot two points from a long distance.

Green immediately moved, and reached out in time to interfere! His reaction speed was too fast, and after confirming that Yiyang had touched the basketball with both hands and it was impossible to make a gesture of worshipping the Buddha, Green immediately pasted it.

Yiyang shot in the midst of serious interference, Curry and Thompson had already started to run to the frontcourt, and they were both ready to play the fast break.

However, just listen to the sound of "brush", and the basketball is hollow into the net! Yiyang withstood Green's shot and hit steadily!

After the goal, Yiyang made a Western cowboy move to collect the gun, and he still had words in his mouth about Green.

“ yur ae baby, yur ae!”

Green was so angry that his face turned purple, and he really wished that he and Yiyang were standing in the octagonal cage at this time.

But his wish was obviously impossible, and a new round of noise was set off at the Center Arena of the American Airlines. Superstars are so laid-back on the court, and Yiyang undoubtedly hit back at Green's pre-game hubris.

"What more can I say? If Green's defense is 100 points, then Yi's offense is 101 points! There is no upper limit to his strength, and he is strong when he is strong! ”

Yiyang's superstar is addictive, but don't forget, the Warriors don't lack superstars!

Soon, Curry also returned a giant planet on Yiyang's head.

Curry dribbled past half court and quickly sent the ball inside, where Durant was already leaning on Kuzma for a single.

Kuzma is still quite difficult to defend Durant, and for a player like Durant, motivation alone is obviously not enough. Durant is a perfect scoring machine, and it's not too easy to deal with a stunned guy like Kuzma.

Feeling the defense with his back, Durant seemed ready to make a move. Kuzma was ready, but what he was waiting for was not Durant's recoil, but a swift back turn!

After turning around, Durant also stretched out his long arm to block Kuzma behind him, and then jumped to the basket!

Unexpectedly, Gobert rushed back to the basket in time and covered Durant's ball with his long arm. If you insist on making a move, there is only one result - eat hot pot!

So, Durant was stunned in the air and twisted his body and passed the ball out to Curry again!

Although the offense was not successful, the ball was still passed steadily without mistakes, which also shows Durant's ability. Without great body coordination, this can be a mistake.

When Curry received the ball, he was two steps away from the three-point line. But he didn't hesitate, but caught the ball and threw it!

Yiyang didn't expect Curry to shoot from such a distance, although he himself often does this kind of thing, but more often than not, he is one step outside the three-point line. One step away from the three-point line, Yiyang is still very sure. But two steps beyond the three-point line? Even for Yiyang, that's far enough!

The basketball slammed into the front of the basket, causing the fans to break out in a cold sweat. Judging from the arc and landing point of the basketball, if it weren't for Curry's shot too far, this would be a beautiful hollow ball!

But the Mavericks fans didn't have time to rejoice, the basketball that fell for the second time fell straight into the net, and Curry's ultra-long-distance three-point score was still scored!

"Long-range strikes, this is a real long-range strike! To say that Curry's range covers the entire half of the court is not alarmist! ”

Curry scored a goal, twisting his shoulders as he stepped back, and the basketball court instantly turned into a stage for him to show off his dance steps.

Two defenders scored one goal for one person, kicking off the prelude to the "fairy war".

After the ball, Yiyang made a pull-up layup under the block of Green and Durant. When he shot, Yiyang didn't even look back at the basket behind his head, God knows how he put the ball in!

Curry's then high-toss layup also rendered Gobert's reach useless. The basketball grabs the upper part of the rebound and refracts it into the net with precision. With basketball in such fine control, it's no wonder Curry can be one of the best players on the planet when he's not physically stellar.

Yiyang and Curry come and go, if the first three quarters of the game are incompatible between the Mavericks and the Warriors. In the fourth quarter, it was Yiyang and Curry's personal heads-up!

Scoring, assists, steals, Yiyang and Curry are omnipotent, and one unbelievable goal after another blew up the on-site commentators speechless! What else can they say!? Yiyang and Curry's goals can no longer be interpreted with normal thinking!

The game lasted until the final 1:34, and Curry's effortless small throw gave the Warriors a one-point lead in the final moments. And after this goal, Curry's personal score also came to 38 points!

"It's 38 points, Stephen must have gone for 40 points today! No, 50 points is not impossible! With the Mavericks' defense, it is especially difficult for a player to score 40 points in a single game. But Stephen, this guy played with great ease! And, oh my God, I've already scored 40 points! In the fourth quarter, he almost swept all of the Mavericks' scores! For the next 1 minute and 34 seconds, I didn't know what else was going to happen, I just knew I had to prepare a few blood pressure pills! ”

"How many years have we not seen a point guard battle like this? Kevin. Believe me, this will definitely be the best point guard matchup in NBA history since Kidd and Nash! ”

Mike Brin unbuckled his tie so he wouldn't be out of breath later, and he didn't want to be the first commentator in NBA history to be stretchered off the court.
