One is 31 points, and the other is 40 points. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a stat from LeBron and Wade. This data comes from the combination that has been out of people's sight for a long time, Yiyang and Dirk.

When the Mavericks won by 12 points on the road against the Spurs and took a 3-1 lead, no one was clamoring that the Mavericks were going to be finished.

Pick up match points on the road, and return to the U.S. Route Center for the next game. It can be said that the Mavericks' promotion is already a sure thing.

In Game 4, the Mavericks showed their best form, even better than the previous two. Defensively, they're airtight. On the offensive end, Yiyang and Dirk carried half of the sky, and then assisted Iguodala and Nick. With the help of Yang and Old Carter and others, the offensive firepower is so strong that the old Spurs are simply difficult to parry.

Moving the aging Duncan to the No. 5 spot proved to be a no. 5 decision. The game was only 9 points under Gobert's defense, which was a shame for Duncan no less than Nowitzki's 11!

And what about Dio, who was placed in the fourth position by Popovich and had high hopes? He did have a double-double, but with 14 points and 10 rebounds, Popovich was expecting more than that.

If you count on Manu. At the age of 37, Ginobili can still maintain a 20+ scoring output in every game, which must be a fool's dream. Manu killed the Mavericks in the last game, but today he only scored five points in the game. Tony. Parker's score of 14 is already the highest score in GDP.

In the whole game, the Mavericks only had 5 turnovers, of which Yiyang only had 1 turnover. And that mistake occurred in garbage time, Yiyang's non-watching back pass seemed to be too showy, and he didn't even understand Marion, who was about to catch the ball, so the basketball flew out of bounds.

The Mavericks immediately adjusted after losing the previous game, and were extremely cautious throughout the game and did not make mistakes easily.

If we talk about the first two games, the Spurs dragged on until the last moments, forcing the resilience of the Mavericks. In that last game, the Spurs won by a big score, undoubtedly forcing out a Dallas Mavericks who were in full form. So today, the Mavericks have taken the world by surprise.

That's their ultimate form, that's the ceiling of this Mavericks. At the ATT center, the 62-win Spurs, who had a neat lineup, pressed to the ground and couldn't lift their heads. It's not for anyone to do that.

"Coach Grieg, what do you think of the Spurs' big defeat in this game?" After the game, when the reporter rushed to Popovich to raise the issue, the old coach didn't say anything, just sighed and shook his head.

What do you think? The gap in hard power!

Duncan is old, Ginobili is old, Parker is not young, what about Leonard? It's a little worse than the climate. Occasionally, in one or two games, the Spurs can still fight it. But in a protracted playoffs, veterans can't explode every game. In terms of stability, the current Spurs are certainly not as good as the Mavericks.

Popovich was very reluctant to admit it, so he couldn't say anything. 62 wins, 62 wins in the regular season! What is this concept, which means that the Spurs have played almost every opponent in the West!

In the playoffs, they eliminated strong teams like the Grizzlies and Thunder. If it weren't for the Dallas Mavericks, Popovich dared to pack the ticket, and the Spurs would definitely be the team to enter the finals and compete for the O'Brien Cup!

But everything that should have been brilliant was broken by the team led by the guy who was less than 24 years old.

If you had to insist that Popovich comment on this year's Mavericks, he would only tell you one word.

"Perfect defense and offense."

Trailing 3-1 is not a good result for the San Antonio Spurs. Although the 3-1 score is not as absolute as 3-0, there are still people in NBA history who can complete the comeback after falling behind 3-1. But there are only eight teams that can do this, in the entire history of the NBA.

The last time a team could come back from 3-1 down was in 2006, when the Phoenix Suns were in full swing.

That year, the Lakers relied on Kobe's inexplicable individual ability to turn the overall score into 3-1. But I have to admit that the overall strength of the Suns is stronger. The Lakers at that time had nothing but Kobe.

In the end, the Suns played steadily and still performed a miracle and eliminated the Lakers from the tournament. But are the Spurs better overall than the Mavericks? Not necessarily, I'm afraid.

While 3-1 doesn't seem as desperate as 3-0, in reality, half of the Spurs' head has reached under the Mavericks' knife.

Game 5 of the series, back at the U.S. Route Center in Dallas. Today, NBA officials have moved the Western Conference championship trophy and pennant here. The staff was ready to quickly set up a makeshift podium after the race.

However, as Carlisle said, the "bull and horse war" will never be so simple.

In this game, the young Leonard finally woke up. He threw a burst of shots all over the court, beating Iguodala, an old fritter.

With 26 points, 10 rebounds, 2 steals and 3 blocks, Leonard played a superstar-level performance. His excellent performance also led the Spurs to a five-point deficit and a surprise away victory.

After the game, all the Dallas media was stunned. The game between the Mavericks and the Spurs is really out of the box.

In the last game, everyone thought the Mavericks were going to be cold. As a result, Yiyang and Dirk scored 71 points together and won the match point.

Today, everyone felt that this was the end of the Spurs' journey. As a result, Leonard played his best performance of the season and led the team to the top of the pack.

"I have to say that the result of this game was quite a surprise. The Spurs' tenacious struggle allowed them to move the overall score to 3-2 again. The Texas Civil War has never been easy. "Mike. Brin shook his head, although the Spurs won today, this veteran commentator knows it very well. The victory in this game only delayed the death of Spurs.

As Popovich thought, the Spurs were not as consistent as the Mavericks. It may sound ridiculous, but the Spurs are the most consistent team in the league, and there is no one!

But that's the case, and you can see from the data in the playoffs how "jumping" the GDP trio is.

Duncan may have been dominating the box the day before, but he couldn't even score in double digits the next day. The same thing will happen in turn with the GDP trio. The intensity of the playoffs and a formidable opponent like the Mavericks have left the aging Spurs exhausted.

So just like that, the game was dragged back to San Antonio, and the league had to carry the Western Conference championship trophy to follow. In Game 6, if the Spurs win, they will drag the series into a tie-break. If the Mavericks win, they will lift the Western Conference trophy to the boos of Spurs fans.

In the sixth game, both sides did their best and played on their backs. Duncan and other old guys are still unwilling to give up, and the Mavericks led by Yiyang don't want to give the Spurs any chance, and both sides are excited.

Shortly after the opening period, Leonard dunked with a one-handed dunk from Nowitzki, and he followed up with two more driving layups to give the Spurs a 6-2 lead. But Dirk quickly returned the favor with two turnover jumpers, Yiyang hit a three-pointer, and the Mavericks returned a 7-0 run, quickly overtaking him.

The opening situation became a microcosm of the whole game. Spurs made a blow and exceeded the score. The Mavericks made another effort to equalize or overtake the score.

After 48 minutes in such a rhythm, neither side has won. The final defensive intensity of the two teams can already be described by the word "rough". For the sake of the enjoyment of the game, the referee also relaxed the scale of blowing penalties. Therefore, in the last minute of the game, both sides did not score a point, and the regular time ended in a back-to-back flip.

Finally, the Spurs and Mavericks inevitably played overtime. In overtime, Carlisle gave Yiyang unlimited firing rights. Because only his physical strength at this time can ensure stability on the offensive end.

Yiyang did not disappoint Carlisle either, turning on scoring mode again, scoring 10 of the Mavericks' 13 points in overtime. Among them, the three-point shot that Dirk hit was still assisted by Yiyang. It can be said that the 13 points scored by the Mavericks in overtime were all from Yiyang's hands.

On the Spurs' side, the physically exhausted GDP can no longer show anything. The Spurs only relied on Leonard and Danny. Green struggled to hold on.

In the beginning, they were able to keep up with Yiyang's rhythm. But in the last two minutes, these two guys also began to collapse on their own. Only Yiyang held steady until the electronic beep swept across the dome of the arena.

"Beep!"

When the shrill sound sounded, Leonard looked at the large electronic screen in confusion. At 114-110, the Spurs were only four points behind, a damn four!

On Leonard's paralyzed expression, no one noticed that a look of sadness flashed in him that was not easy to detect. Seeing that he and his teammates worked hard for it in one season in exchange for such a result, Leonard was very unwilling and sad. He hated himself, why he threw those balls, why he let Iguodala score those points.

Leonard sat down on the ground, but his expressionless face made it impossible for others to see through the sadness in his heart.

What about the GDP three? These three old guys, on the contrary, have a sense of relief. It's over, it's all over, another season in a long career is over. It's just a pity that he couldn't let the Spurs reach the Finals again, and he couldn't let Leonard's kid experience the atmosphere of the Finals.

But what can they do? That's the way it is in professional competitions, no one else can be a winner all the time.

Just like Mike. As Brin expected, the moment the game ended, the Spurs fans collectively booed. They're not booing the Spurs, they're booing the Mavericks who won the entire series.

But the huge boos did not affect the celebration of the Mavericks players on the court. Yiyang opened his arms and stood at the LOGO of the stadium, enjoying the "cheers" of victory.

Carter covered his face with a towel, he didn't want people to see him crying. In the finals, when the 16-year-old dream finally came true, Carter found that he couldn't laugh at all.

What about Nowitzki? He hugged everyone, with his teammates and coaches. In the end, he hugged Yiyang, who was spreading his arms in the middle circle. Dirk thanked everyone for their efforts, and it was everyone's efforts that allowed the Mavericks to return to the Finals after a two-year hiatus. It was everyone's efforts that gave him a chance to compete for the O'Brien Cup at the age of 36.

Yiyang in particular, without this Chinese kid, the Mavericks may not have returned to the top of the West so soon.

From the championship, to losing to the Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals, to being killed by the Spurs in the Western Conference finals last year...... Yiyang remembered a lot of things and countless failed nights.

Anyway, they made it through, didn't they?

They've had their time at a low point, and at one point they were even thought they couldn't even make the playoffs. But Yiyang and his teammates did not give up, Dirk, Marion, Carter, Carlisle, Cuban...... They have been marching towards that highest honor, and now, two years later, they have survived!

Nowitzki, who was hugging Yiyang, felt that Yiyang's body was trembling slightly, and he couldn't help lowering his head and muttering in Yiyang's ear.

"Let's go, it's time for us to claim our championship trophy. Our second, second championship trophy! ”

Yiyang swallowed his saliva and nodded slightly.

At this time, you should laugh, idiot!
