Vignali and Wen Xue came to the stadium early, and they have been watching from the sidelines since Yiyang warmed up. Although the two most important women on the sidelines were staring at him, Yiyang's mind was still all on the basketball court, and he didn't even glance at the audience.

Yiyang didn't dare to wander, even if it was just a warm-up, but Yiyang was afraid that a second of distraction would give the spurs a chance.

The San Antonio Spurs are that kind of team, and they're so calm that they're scary. If you want to play against them, you have to be more focused on the game than they are.

Ten minutes later, the voices of several players could be heard from the other side of the pitch. Yiyang turned his head to see that it was the Spurs players who warmed up!

"Those guys, they're coming so early." Nowitzki looked at Duncan, who was still expressionless in his training uniform, he was at this age, but he still had to fight against this "pervert" every year. You say Duncan is older than Nowitzki? No, isn't Duncan a rookie?

"That's what the Texas derby is good about, there's no difference between playing away and playing home. Even if they only got from San Antonio this morning, they have plenty of time to prepare for the game. Yiyang glanced at the other party, and then continued to start the matter in his hand.

San Antonio and Dallas are only 409 kilometers apart, and the flight time is measured in minutes. This is undoubtedly a very favorable condition for both sides. It makes sense that the Spurs could show up so early.

Although already old rivals, there is not much conversation between the Mavericks players and the Spurs players. Everyone knows that now is not the time to make friends!

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer empty seats in the stands, and the cheers in the stadium grew louder. With only half an hour left before the game starts, there's no room left for you to stand outside the arena and watch the big screen.

Both inside and outside the arena were filled with enthusiastic fans from both sides. Looking at this spectacular scene, Kuban, who had seen many big scenes, couldn't help but take a photo as a souvenir.

"God, I bet half of Dallas is here!"

"And half of it, watching live TV at home." Little Nelson quipped.

It seems that whether it is players or fans, whether it is commentators or experts, they have paid much more attention to this "Texas Civil War" than they have paid more attention to the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the East, the Heat vs. Pacers battle started yesterday, but for most fans and media, today is the real start of the division finals.

The battle between two 60-winning teams is not an exaggeration to say that this is the "real grand final".

"The two rivals met in the Western Conference Finals for the second year in a row, and it was the first time in the 21st century that two identical teams have met in the Western Conference Finals two years in a row. Perhaps this record speaks volumes about how strong Texas basketball is. After a year, in the West, where there are many strong teams, no one can pick the Mavericks and Spurs off the throne. "Mike. Brin was already in the groove before the game began, and looking at the two familiar teams, Brin didn't feel bored at all.

Who would have too many performances like Mars hitting the Earth?

Reaching the Western Conference Finals for the second year in a row is enough to show the dominance of both teams. Now, the two most dominant teams are going to start fighting each other, and I really don't know what the game will look like.

Rudy. Gobert stood in the center circle and experienced the baptism of the last round of the series against the Clippers, and now the Frenchman is no longer nervous. Don't forget, Gobert also made a name for himself by defending Duncan in the regular season!

The referee blew the whistle and tossed the basketball into the air. Brazilian Split was no match for Gobert at all, and Gobert fought for the ball in Yiyang's hands without much effort.

"Gobert won the first attack for the Dallas Mavericks, audience friends, welcome to ESPN, the high-profile Western Conference Finals, officially started!"

The moment the game began, the "blue ocean" in the stands of the Center Arena of American Airlines surged. Vignali and Wen Xue swayed in the crowd, and the passionate atmosphere of the game was irresistible.

Facing Parker, Yiyang struggled to keep his composure. As soon as he came up, he hoisted the ball into the penalty area first, allowing Dirk vs Duncan to stage in advance.

Duncan and Nowitzki, they are representatives of two genres, Duncan is the interior pillar of the defense over offense, and Nowitzki is the scoring genius who is offense over defense. The two are of the same age, their careers basically overlapped at their peaks, and they both played for Texas Giants.

After so many years of fighting experience, both sides know each other well. Therefore, Nowitzki's shoulder shake did not fool Duncan. When Nowitzki immediately turned over and jumped after shaking his shoulders, Duncan's interference was almost "zero-time".

Under Duncan's tight defense, Nowitzki's shot came out of the box. The fans sighed, this goal is a pity!

"As soon as the scene opens, Dirk and Duncan turn on the battle mode. Thiem's defense is very good, and to deal with his defense, Dirk's offense can't be so simple. ”

Although the ball didn't score, the-for-tat momentum of Dirk and Duncan as soon as they came up still made the atmosphere of the game very enthusiastic.

After the Spurs attacked, Leonard was frantic with runs. Iguodala is a big enemy, and this young forward is no less of a threat than Duncan or anyone else!

Just when everyone thought Parker was just a passer, he suddenly borrowed Duncan's block and went inside. Before his fellow Frenchman Gobert could get to the basket, he deftly hit a layup.

"Tony. Parker broke through Yi's defense as soon as he came up, which really made me never think about it! Bryn's eyes widened, he thought about Duncan, Leonard, Danny. Green or even Split would have taken the lead for the Spurs, but Parker had not been considered.

Just look at the results of Curry and Paul. But Parker, whose individual scoring ability is not as good as Curry and Paul, can easily score points on Yiyang's head.

That's the scary thing about Spurs, you never know what the "actual age" of that old guy standing across from you is today. The moment Parker broke through just now, the speed was simply back to seven or eight years ago!

Shock is shock, but just one goal doesn't make a real difference to the game. The Mavericks fans cheered again, it doesn't matter if the opponent scores first, we just hit back!

However, if you want to fight back, it is far from as simple as the fans think.

While the Spurs are not like the Mavericks, all three of their starting perimeter linemen were named to the All-Defensive Team. But if anyone were to say that the Spurs' defense was poor, it would definitely be a brain show.

The Spurs' defensive intensity at this time is completely different from the regular season. Also masculine as a breakthrough Parker, Danny. Green will be able to make up for it right away. Yiyang wants to pass the ball to Tony. Aaron, Tony. Allen also doesn't have the ability to shoot from a distance, which is enough for Parker to "stroll around" to make up for Tony. In front of Aaron.

The speed with which the Spurs complemented and switched defenses was a surprise to Carlisle. I believe that Popovich guy has studied Yiyang a lot at the bottom.

Danny. Green is definitely one of the best "3-and-D" players in the league right now, his defense can kill the opposing offense, and his three-point can kill the game completely.

Facing Green's defense, Yiyang was not easy. That guy has excellent anticipation and is physically strong enough to fight. Yiyang's only advantage may only be speed.

Instead of calling for a pick-and-roll, he broke through Green with a quick change of direction. When Yiyang passed past Green, Green was very surprised. Yiyang may be the only player in the league who can break through himself in such a simple way!

Of course, Yiyang's breakthrough is not to score on his own, but to distribute the ball to teammates with better chances after attracting defense.

But when Yiyang entered the penalty area, he still didn't see any chance to pass! Duncan jammed Dirk, and Leonard was beside Iguodala. What about Yiyang himself? There's a Split in front of him, and Danny behind him. Green.

It seems that this time I have broken into a dead end!

Fortunately, Yiyang was in a hurry, and suddenly turned around for a jumper in the process of a quick break, which caught Green off guard, and then scored the ball.

The fans burst into cheers, but Yiyang gritted his teeth.

Although the goal was scored, the Mavericks' offense actually didn't hit this time. Yiyang just came up with such a trick on a whim, but it is impossible for the game to support the whole game only by relying on the idea of a whim.

Then, Duncan leaned on Nowitzki's hook shot on the inside. Although the No. 21 is no longer as good as Dirk's average points per game, the difference between him and Dirk is. Dirk is averaging 20.1 points per game in the playoffs this season, so he's about 20 points per game. Duncan, on the other hand, is averaging only 16.3 points per game, but he is likely to explode in a key game, and it is not surprising that he will score more than 30 points.

Seeing that Duncan is in such good shape today, Carlisle can only pray that today's 21st will not break out.

The Spurs scored again and continued their steady style. On the Mavericks' side, the tactics still can't be played. In the end, Yiyang had to stare at Danny. Green's close-fitting pull-up jump shot. It's just that Green, who has been fooled once, will not be deceived for the second time in a row, this time his interference is very timely, and Yiyang's shot misses!

Immediately afterwards, Parker hit the basket again, and shot when his body was already twisted, and at the same time caused Yiyang to foul and scored 3 points with free throws. 7-2, Spurs got off to a perfect start. As soon as the Mavericks came up, they fell into passivity in front of this old opponent.

After the Mavericks played 5 minutes in the game, everyone except Yiyang finally hit the shot. They didn't start the game well, and if it weren't for Yiyang's scoring ability being strong enough, the Mavericks wouldn't even be able to score double-doubles in this quarter.

After the first quarter, the Mavericks trailed by 15 points at 21-15, which was also the lowest scoring record for the Mavericks in a single quarter this season. Meanwhile, the Mavericks scored just six points inside in the first quarter, while the Spurs scored 18.

Last year, the Spurs relied on the inside advantage to beat the Mavericks. Despite Gobert this year, Duncan still seems to be lawless.

Shortly after the start of the second quarter, Tony. Allen hit a close-range shot and finally opened the shot. After that, Yiyang sent a wonderful pass to assist Gobert in the air relay dunk, which won a full house, and also let the Spurs see the power of the Mavericks' interior line this year.

The Mavericks finally began to find their groove inside, and they started the quarter on a 9-0 run to tie the score at 24-21. Subsequently, the two sides turned on the tug-of-war mode. At the end of the third quarter, the two sides fought to a 74-all draw. The intense competition did not disappoint the fans, the two teams played hard, and everyone played well.

However, in such a game, no one can imagine when the turning point will appear.

After the start of the fourth quarter, Duncan first hit two consecutive shots on Nowitzki's head, and then caused the Frenchman to foul in the opposite position with Gobert, and scored six consecutive points with free throws. Subsequently, Ginobili also turned on the "demon knife" mode, frequently hitting and shooting outside the three-point line.

On the Mavericks' side, the rest seemed to be blinded by the Spurs' sudden intensification of offense. Nowitzki and Iguodala's hit percentages began to plummet. Carlisle for Nick. After Young and Marion, instead of getting better on the offensive end, they dragged the defense back.

In the end, the poor state of the Mavericks in the fourth quarter gave the Spurs a 10-point lead! 81-91, trailing by 10 points with seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, it was undoubtedly a huge blow for the Mavericks.

When Ginoby used a frenzied breakaway and an unreasonable pull-up jump shot to torment Nick. After Young, Carlisle angrily shouted to stop the game. The San Antonio Spurs players walked off the court one by one with their heads held high.

"The Spurs' combat effectiveness at critical moments is indeed too strong, and as long as the Mavericks can't continue the score for a while, they will definitely be thrown off! The Spurs are the most solid team in the league, and the Mavericks are looking to overtake by 12 points in the few moments of time...... It's hard. ”

Mike. Brin shook his head, the Mavericks survived the first three quarters of the game, but they didn't expect to experience such a thing as a slate collapse.

It seems that ginger is still old and spicy. Thinking about the time when even James would be stopped by the Spurs from the door to success, it is normal for Yiyang to experience this.

If nothing else happens in this game, Spurs will take the lead with a win. In San Antonio, even a lot of fans have opened their beers and started cheering.

But Yiyang, who gritted his teeth, didn't plan to give up, it was just twelve points, as long as it was possible, Yiyang was willing to try.

In that case, let me create some "accidents"!

The leader of the Mavericks hasn't promised to give up the victory.
