The fierce game made the fans blush and thicken their necks, and this tense atmosphere of watching the game on the spot was incomparable to the high-definition TV screen.

Of course, the same fierce competition is the most important condition for this atmosphere to be formed. Eight minutes into the first quarter, the Mavericks led by just one point. The two sides come and go, and the fight is not lively. The days of waiting were not in vain, and the excitement of the fans was not disappointed in this Western Conference semifinals.

Although the game was good, fans would rather the Mavericks pull away early and let the game go into garbage time early than watch the two teams alternate leads.

The timeout finally ended, with only four minutes left in the quarter, and everyone thought the first quarter would pass like this. However, Carlisle's change of formation is somewhat intriguing.

"Andrey. Andre Iguodala came off the bench and I thought he didn't play today because of an injury. In other words, was it intentional for Coach Carlisle to play Andre as a substitute? "Kenny. Smith was thinking about Carlisle's intention to change formations, and he knew that Carlisle never made meaningless changes.

Let Iguodala play the sixth man? It doesn't make sense. Iguodala is averaging 9 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in 26 minutes per game this season. A player like him in the central axis is more suited to tandem the team in the starting lineup than to play as the team's sixth man. If Carlisle needs a sixth man, Wade, who has more scoring ability, is clearly more suitable.

But now Kenny. Smith didn't have to think about it, the timeout was over and the game resumed. All doubts will be solved in the game.

The Mavericks changed lineups, with McHale bringing on Brewer and Capela for Terry and Howard.

Yiyang and Harden, the core guards of both teams are still on the court. It can be seen that Carlisle and McHale did not intend to let the first quarter of the game end so simply.

After the timeout and the first offense, Harden has become a complete No. 1 position due to Terry's departure. He dribbled through half the court alone, but instead of trying to organize, he beckoned to cover.

Never-ending cover, that's how the Rockets score points.

Clint. Capella, this name and this person, Yiyang are very unfamiliar. After all, as a first-year rookie, Capela spent most of this season in the Development League, playing only 12 games for the Rockets in the regular season, and playing less than 10 minutes per game.

If it weren't for the injuries of Motai Yunas and others, the Rockets would really have no one available inside, and McHale would not have thought of calling Capela back temporarily. After all, you can't let the "European Warcraft" Joey. A player of Dorsey's calibre will protect the Rockets' basket in the playoffs.

What Capela's strength is, Yiyang is unknown. But one thing is certain, this guy's physicality is no joke. When Yiyang tried to bypass Capela's block, he found it even harder than bypassing Howard's block!

When Yiyang finally bypassed the pick-and-roll, Harden had already accelerated to the inside. But in the end, Harden didn't choose to attack the interior guarded by Gobert, but instead made a pull-up jump shot from the mid-range.

God knows why Harden chose to settle the battle with a mid-range shot, which is the Rockets' least played offensive style this season. Perhaps, it was Gobert's deterrent power that had made Harden suffer?

In short, under Yiyang's interference, Harden's pull-up jump shot did not hit. This is what McHale dislikes most about Harden, the bearded man who makes some unbelievable decisions from time to time, both on the offensive and defensive ends.

The basketball hit Yiyang's hand, and the Mavericks fought back! Everyone on the Rockets, including the big Capela, went all out for their own half. But Yiyang pushed forward unhurriedly, patiently waiting for his teammates to settle down. After that, Yiyang exchanged substitutions outside the three-point line and leaned towards Harden.

Just as Yiyang walked in front of Harden, he suddenly accelerated to the left. Harden's defense was very aggressive, but the prediction was one step slower, and he was half a position away by Yiyang. Half a body position means that Yiyang can rely on his speed and body to complete the breakthrough.

Yiyang killed the inside, Harden interfered on the side, Capela was so nervous that his arms were a little trembling, and at the same time, Brewer also shrank back, and the three of them were sandwiched!

Yiyang looked at Brewer, who was rushing towards him, and Brewer also stared at Yiyang with his big eyes. It's not that he doesn't have a backhand, and Brewer is ready for a steal. As long as Yiyang passes the ball, Brewer can jump up at any time and intercept the ball!

But Yiyang's passing route is not so easy to predict, Brewer thought that Yiyang would go high, but Yiyang went down! During the march, Yiyang slammed the ball to the ground hard.

I saw the basketball go through Brewer's legs and bounce back into Iguodala's hands. Iguodala got up and down, and Carlisle put him on the bench in the hope that he would be able to score on the court.

'It was a clean goal, Iguodala's positioning and his passing were perfectly combined. For now, Iguodala has nothing wrong with her body. ”

Less than 20 seconds later, the Mavericks were back on the move. This time, he directly replaced Iguodala to Yiyang to block and dismantle, and Iguodala's performance has been very positive since he came on the court. Just when everyone thought that Yiyang and Iguodala were going to connect again. Yiyang, who was leaning on Capela, threw the ball in the exact opposite direction to Iguodala!

It wasn't until the basketball was caught by a pair of big hands that the Rockets players found out that Vince was the only player to find out. Carter caught the basketball in the bottom left corner of his favorite and unmarked!

"How did you miss it!?" McHale was furious on the sidelines.

Last summer, Carter helped the Mavericks take a step forward by beating the San Antonio Spurs in this position. This year, although it wasn't a lore, Carter's shot was still deadly.

With their second consecutive three-point hit, the Mavericks' two veterans turned the Rockets from a one-point deficit to a seven-point deficit in an instant.

Yiyang looked at the big screen at the scene, and there was about one and a half rounds left until the tenth minute of the second quarter. It's not impossible to use this time to widen the margin to double digits!

This time, the Rockets are still playing the pick-and-roll offense. But Harden didn't choose to shoot himself, but split the ball.

When Harden broke through, he saw Iguodala move slightly inside, so he wanted to pass the ball to Brewer. Brewer was about to break through after receiving the basketball, but Iguodala stretched out his arm and stabbed the basketball cleanly.

Iguodala was quick and picked up the basketball before Brewer. Yiyang hurriedly rushed to the frontcourt, and at the same time, Harden quickly stuck to Yiyang to prevent him from accelerating. Who knows, the legs of the two guards were mixed together by mistake, and the two forces were pulled at the same time, causing Yiyang and Harden to fall to the ground.

In an instant, the Mavericks lost their sharpest bayonet, and Iguodala lost his passing target. That being the case, Iguodala decided to turn himself into that bayonet who took the lead!

The strong forward began to accelerate the dribble, and everyone let out an exclamation, it turns out that Iguodala can still run so fast!?

After hitting the opponent's penalty area, Iguodala leaned on the skinny Brewer and forced a layup. As a result, Iguodala was fine, and Brewer was pulled out of the bottom line instead. Even so, the referee saw Brewer's foul just now. Two points are valid, and there is a penalty!

"A layup after a steal and a three-pointer! Don't get me wrong, viewers who have just turned on the TV, I'm not talking about it, I'm talking about Andre. Iguodala! "Kenny. Smith looked at the court in disbelief, this guy, really like a veteran?

Yiyang had just struggled from the ground when he saw that Iguodala had scored. Taking advantage of this dead ball, Carlisle replaced Yiyang with Mark, and the Rockets also replaced Harden.

And on the court, Iguodala made a free throw and successfully scored three points!

Seeing Iguodala's positive performance, people can't help but ask: Is this really the guy who averages just over 9 points per game?

"It's 10 minutes, boss." After Yiyang got off the field, he pointed to the big screen at the scene. At this time, it was only five seconds more than the two-minute deadline given by Carlisle.

Carlisle smirked, but McHale was a little confused. What's the situation, how come the Rockets are ten points behind in just a few rounds!?

In fact, in addition to Yiyang, Iguodala is the key to the Mavericks' ability to successfully open up the point difference.

A three-point layup was no exception, and in the final two minutes of the first quarter, Iguodala showed his debut quality to the fullest.

Don't occupy the right to shoot, defend desperately, make wedding dresses for teammates, but also take the lead when fighting bayonets. All the qualities that coaches like, you can see in Iguodala.

Compared to the Rockets' benches who scored by convulsions, Iguodala is more of a good sixth man! And with Iguodala defending, Brewer just wanted to draw, but he couldn't pull it.

After all, Iguodala is Carlisle's departure and is ready to deal with James!

Just as the Spurs' Popovich will always bring Ginobili to the table in desperate situations, the Mavericks will also show their final hole cards at critical moments, and Iguodala is the Mavericks' last killer feature.

Although in the last minute of the fourth quarter, McHale reluctantly replaced Harden. But that still couldn't stop Iguodala from killing all sides, with 5 points, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in a single quarter, and in just four minutes, Iguodala delivered a staggering report card.

"Incredible performance, Andrey. Iguodala is completely like two people compared to the regular season! When the electronic beep that represented the end of the first quarter of the game sounded, Kenny. Smith also burst out shouting. The 11-point difference was on the Rockets, you know, 4 minutes ago, they were only 1 point behind!

Iguodala didn't erupt out of nowhere, and he didn't judge the two. This guy, he just doesn't want to "play dead" anymore. Powerful opponents have appeared, and it's time for the event.

Throughout the break, McHale was furiously arranging tactics to limit Iguodala's play. He thought everyone was like him, and they would keep the players who were in good form all the time. But Carlisle and him bear no resemblance at all.

But when the second quarter of the game started and the Mavericks players returned to the court, McHale was dumbfounded again.

Iguodala sat on the bench in his training suit, his face expressionless, like a veteran who couldn't get a minute of playing time and had nothing to do with him.

Iguodala was not there, and McHale's setup was useless. And Yiyang, who was fully rested, moved his arms.

Now, it's his turn to kill. ()
