7 minutes and 35 seconds, 12 minutes difference. It's not an irreversible gap, but on a stage like the Western Conference Finals, against an opponent like the San Antonio Spurs. A 12-point difference is enough to overwhelm people.

All three of them played very well today, with Duncan being a great helper on the inside, and Parker and Ginobili hitting magical goals. It's not accurate to say that they look a year younger, to be precise, these three old guys are five years younger!

It was precisely because of the steady play of the GDP trio that the Spurs were able to seize the opportunity of the Mavericks' offensive difficulties at the beginning of the fourth quarter and quickly widen the difference.

"Don't worry, find an opportunity to shoot again! Dirk, I don't need you to grab points in a short period of time, so you don't have to rush to attack. Your shot was too hasty just now, and we need you to calm down, calm down, understand!? "Carlisle pressed down with both hands, and when the team was behind, Nowitzki, Nick. Yang and Marion and the others were all in a mess.

Maybe the Western Conference Finals still put a lot of pressure on them, and they have come to this point, and no one wants to lose. So after falling behind, they desperately want to score. Such an approach back then would only be counterproductive.

After listening to Carlisle, Nowitzki and the others also temporarily disconnected themselves from the fierce competition. Their emotions were really affected a lot just now, the game was too anxious, and the Spurs were like ghosts, no matter how hard the Mavericks tried, they couldn't get rid of it. The more this happens, the more they want to win. The more you want to win, the more impatient you become.

"Also, control the pace a little later. Defensively, I need the guys to work on it. Especially Tony. Parker and Ginobili, I've had enough of those two guys' magic goals. For the next seven minutes, I don't want to see them score again! Carlisle finished speaking and looked at Yiyang and Tony. Alan.

If you want to win, you have to start with defense.

The short timeout was not enough for Carlisle to say a few words to the players, but seeing the players regain their composure one by one, Carlisle was also relieved.

"Is it really okay to have a 12-point difference and focus on defense?" Watch Carlisle put Nick. With Young and Marion replaced, Armstrong couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Offense can lead to victory." Carlisle stared at the pitch with a grin. "And defense, can bring championships!"

At 7:35, the numbers on the rebounding timer started beating again, and the intense game began again.

This time, Yiyang almost jogged through the half. He didn't seem to be in a hurry, as if it was the Mavericks and not the Spurs who were leading by 12 points.

"Was you beaten stupid by the Spurs too? If he doesn't go on the offensive now, what is he waiting for? "A few of the commentators from San Antonio didn't understand Yiyang's approach, and the same was true for others, but they didn't say it so bluntly.

Yiyang walked outside the three-point line and instead of challenging the Spurs' defense, he called for a pick-and-roll, hoping to get closer to the basket in a more effective way.

Nowitzki and Yiyang's pick-and-roll combination has long been perfect, and although Dirk hasn't made a single shot in the past few minutes, Parker still doesn't dare to let him go. After Parker was taken away, a dislocation was formed, and Yiyang singled Duncan!

Duncan is still very experienced, and he let Yiyang take a few steps to prevent Yiyang from breaking through. At the same time, the long arms have been waving in front of Yiyang's eyes to interfere with his shooting.

Yiyang dribbled the ball a few times under his crotch and swayed his upper body, as if he was about to come to a set of "butterfly flower steps". But just when Yiyang suddenly raised his center of gravity and was about to break through, he knocked the ball to the ground.

The basketball hit the floor, passed through Duncan's open crotch, and went straight into Nowitzki's hands!

It turned out that when Yiyang and Duncan were "heads-up", Nowitzki had quietly cut into the basket. Yiyang put on a posture of wanting to fight alone, which is completely to win opportunities for Dirk.

Leaning on Parker, who is only 1.88 meters tall, Nowitzki hit an easy layup. The Mavericks finally opened in the fourth quarter, and as long as you are patient, there is no hurdle that you can't overcome.

"Haha, pass through the crotch. Maybe the entire alliance is the only one who dares to do such a thing in front of Tim. ”

"Trust me Mike, Tim will eat him alive because of this." Kevin. Harlan also shook his head, even Duncan couldn't tell what Yiyang was going to do next.

The patience and excellent offense of the previous round allowed the Mavericks to narrow the gap to 10 points. But Carlisle knows that the key to the team's success or failure today is the defense this time!

Ginobili ran wildly just past half-time, as was the case with the Argentine, whose "snakeskin" left you unpredictable. To be exact, even Ginobili himself is inscrutable.

But Tony. Allen left no stone unturned this time and impressed the Argentine. Wherever he goes, with or without anyone setting up cover, Tony. Aaron would grit his teeth and keep up.

Seeing that Ginobili had no chance for half a day, Parker began to look for the next target. At this point, Duncan was already in the position on the inside, and Parker simply hit the ball directly into the inside. It's usually safer to let Duncan handle the offense.

But this time, as soon as Duncan received the basketball, Gobert caught it. With Nowitzki and Gobert in the middle, Duncan struggled to even get the ball out, let alone score.

Eventually, Duncan caught a glimpse of Ginobili in the corner, and without thinking about it, he immediately passed the ball!

Ginobili's slip line does work, Tony. Aaron struggled to get out of the entanglement in a crowded box. When Ginobili ran to the three-point line, Tony had just squeezed out of the line.

The basketball flies high, but not fast. After all, when he was caught by Dirk and Gobert, Duncan could only pass this kind of high ball.

Seeing that Ginobili could shoot after receiving the basketball, a black shadow suddenly jumped up and cut off the ball that passed very high!

Ginobili pulled his leg and ran into his own half of the court because he saw the number on the back of the black shadow jersey, 1.

"Also steal Duncan's pass, very nice defensive round! In the end, the Spurs' offense ended in a mistake! However, the Spurs are also very fast on the back. In the blink of an eye, they were already in place. "Mike. Brin rubbed his hands together, and this was the case with the duel between the two sides, and both sides rarely made mistakes. Whoever makes the mistake first loses.

But in fact, Yiyang didn't intend to lead the fast attack at all. There are still six minutes left in the game, so let's play slowly!

Leisurely walking, this is people's evaluation of Yiyang's current state. If it were another team that was 10 points behind the Spurs, they would definitely pick up the tempo and try to equalize the score early, which would drain the Spurs' physical strength by the way.

But Yiyang did the opposite, he knew very well that only stability is the key to the success rate of the attack!

Yiyang walked outside the three-point line and observed the situation with his eyes. Parker opened his arms and followed Yiyang slowly, not knowing what tricks this guy was going to play this time. Just as Parker was thinking, Yiyang, who was still "walking" a second ago, passed by Parker with a "whoosh".

Sudden acceleration, a technique that many point guards are used to. But Yiyang's sudden acceleration almost instantly pulled the speed to the maximum, and there was no acceleration process at all!

There was no point in Parker moving sideways, and his only option was to reflexively chase back. Just as Yiyang broke through to the middle distance, he suddenly stopped and retreated.

Parker, who had been shaken down by Yiyang's sudden stop and retreat, was a little shadowy when he saw this action, but this time, Parker stabilized his center of gravity and quickly turned around and planned to re-paste it.

Parker raised his arm high and was ready to interfere, but Yiyang, who was halfway through the shooting, suddenly knocked the ball forward and dribbled again!

Retreat and worship the Buddha, Yiyang's feints are really one ring after another!

This time, Parker had no way to reflexively chase back in time. Without the help of any blocking, Yiyang cleaned up the French!

Yiyang pierced into the forbidden area like an arrow from the string and jumped directly high. In the air, Yiyang turned sideways to avoid Duncan, who came to block, and pressed the ball into the frame with one hand!

"Fly and dunk! It's also challenging the authority of the Spurs' defense! ”

There was a loud bang, as if it also woke up the fans who were not in a high mood. Looking at it again, the difference is only eight points left, and the Mavericks have officially sounded the horn of a counterattack!

The home fans were once again in a frenzy, everyone waving their arms. When the Spurs re-released the ball, the whole stadium was filled with shouts of "defend".

That's right, defense is the real key to victory!

This time offensively, Duncan's hook hand was knocked out of the frame under the interference of Gobert who came up from the bag. Gobert's height was so terrifying that Duncan even felt that his hook hand could be blocked.

The Spurs missed again, and this time, Yiyang did not spend time with the Spurs leisurely, but returned to his old job of doing what he was best at.

After Gobert grabbed the rebound, he made a long pass directly to the backcourt, and Popovich was shocked and immediately yelled at the players in the court.

"What am I talking about? Stand out quickly, you idiots! ”

Gobert's pass was a little too big, and when Yiyang jumped high to catch the basketball after running wildly, the man was almost in a parallel position to the baseline.

Yiyang didn't have extra time to make moves in the air, because such a big inertia made Yiyang rush out of the bottom line in an instant.

So, without even looking at the frame, Yiyang caught the basketball on the side of the basket and threw it in the direction of the basket. Basketball made a mistake, and I was stunned and fell into the net!

“hat！？” Kevin. Harlan was shocked, this is okay!?

"Haha, Gobert is equivalent to passing an aerial relay from the backfield. God, maybe it's the only thing in the world that can score goals like that! ”

After Yiyang scored, he pointed to Gobert to show his gratitude. Although the ball was not passed well, at least the kid's idea was good.

The Mavericks have come off the ground and gone from trailing by 12 points to trailing by 6 points, and the transformation has been astonishing.

The next time the Spurs attacked, Parker still wanted to score with a breakthrough. But this time, Yiyang turned into kraft candy, sticking to the French, and he couldn't shake it off.

Parker's hasty shot hit the iron again, and Yiyang continued to pick up the pace, and one person penetrated the whole court into the penalty area.

In fact, the acceleration was against Carlisle's tactical will. But Carlisle didn't interfere, the situation on the pitch is so ever-changing that the same approach can't be adapted to the whole game. Yiyang felt that it was necessary to speed up now, and Carlisle would also respect Yiyang's approach. As long as the general framework of tactics remains unchanged, Carlisle will not interfere.

This is undoubtedly a great power for a player.

This time, after Yiyang penetrated into the inner line, he sent it to Iguodala who was chasing after him with a slap from the crack of the person.

Iguodala didn't adjust to catch the ball, because it wasn't needed at all, and Yiyang's pass was simply too comfortable.

He shot straight to the ground, and both Duncan and Split were stuck in position, ready to protect the rebound. However, they still didn't get the rebound because Iguodala's long-range shot went straight through the net!

"3 points, only 3 points left! Coach Popovich called a halt to the game! The Mavericks went on a 9-0 offensive surge with 2:04 left to end the game! In these five minutes, GDP and their spurs have not received a cent! ”

Popovich gave in, and he would never wait until his team was behind before calling a timeout. But by the time he called a timeout, the Spurs were certainly quite dangerous.

"There's no need to make such a fuss, Kevin. After all, they have the best three defensive players in the team! ”

After the game was suspended, Yiyang was reluctant to leave the court. Obviously, he was playing so happily, but it was suddenly interrupted, which made him feel very unhappy.

The pause is only to delay your death! Just let the horses come, no matter what......

I'm going to defend my home turf!
