The Golden State Warriors defeated the Dallas Mavericks to tie the series at 1-1. In any series, such things are extremely commonplace. Because the playoffs are such a brutal battlefield, victory and defeat are commonplace.

However, in this series, the Warriors' victory surprised countless people.

The Mavericks' defense, which terrified teams across the league, actually allowed the Warriors' unreasonable lineup to collapse like this. Unbelievable, that's what the Warriors' victory has made for everyone.

"It was an incredible victory, the Warriors crushed the Dallas Mavericks with their five-man lineup! They won, and the Warriors won the game in the end! Stephen. Curry became the first man to walk away from the U.S. Route Center arena in the playoffs this season! Kevin. Harlan looked at the court in disbelief, and on the court, the Mavericks players had already walked back to the tunnel and only the Warriors players were still on the court celebrating.

Conquering the U.S. Route Center Arena is something that few people can do this season. The Mavericks' home court has become a veritable devil's home court, but the Warriors, they've broken that spell!

The win in this game was not just a win, but it changed the entire basketball world. It turns out that a small lineup can be extreme to this extent! It turned out that no one on the field who was taller than 2.03 meters could win the game. It turns out that by doing so, you can defeat the invincible Dallas Mavericks!

The rules of basketball are changing, and in this era of withering centers, the Warriors are taking the role of the little man to the extreme.

After the game, Steve. Cole became a favorite in the eyes of reporters. The bold boss used a tactic that no one had ever used before, crushing a formidable foe that no one had ever been able to shake.

'It was an incredible game and I think we can continue that at home. After the game, even Curry himself claimed that the game was "incredible." Relying on pure offense to wear down the calf, others may not even dare to think about it!

At the post-match press conference, all the reporters were also eager to hear what attitude Yiyang and Carlisle had towards the defeat. Yiyang is still expressionless, and you can't tell whether his mood is good or bad. But Carlisle's relaxed appearance puzzled the reporters.

"Coach Carlisle, what do you think of the Mavericks' one-point loss to the Golden State Warriors today, and the overall score was tied by the opponent?" Carlisle instantly became the primary target of the journalists.

"What? We lost today? Damn it! Am I looking at the score backwards!? ”

Hearing Carlisle's answer, the reporters were stunned. What's going on? The biggest oolong in history?

Seeing the surprised expressions of the reporters, Carlisle smiled with satisfaction. Carlisle made no secret of the fact that he was a fan of Popovich, and he loved everything about Popovich, including the old guy's "sense of humor" that drove journalists crazy.

"Just kidding, otherwise I really don't know how to answer your question, what do you think? What else can I see! Clean up your crying face, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, this is the NBA! ”

Carlisle has dealt with reporters, but in reality, that's not his true view of the loss.

The day after the game, the Warriors were on fire all over the world. As the first team this season to lose the unbeatable 74-win Mavericks, they are on a positive footing. Countless acquaintances are expecting the Warriors to pull off a miracle and reverse the Mavericks' domination of the league.

If the Mavericks have 74 wins in the regular season, they can't win the championship in the end. Well, they're going to be the biggest joke in the world!

But Yiyang and Carlisle, the true souls of the two Mavericks, did not give up on themselves. The Warriors' five-small lineup is indeed very scary, but in Carlisle's opinion, Kerr's lineup is not impossible to crack. Yes, maybe none of the other 28 teams can crack it, but Carlisle can!

So two hours before the start of training the next day, Carlisle called Yiyang and Armstrong to his office. The purpose of these three guys is clear, to watch the Warriors' game footage with the five-man lineup repeatedly, and to discuss a workable response!

"Actually, the rough plan, I already had some ideas yesterday. Today, let's discuss whether it can work. Carlisle said, starting to play the video of the game that the video analyst had prepared for him. And that's why Carlisle wasn't depressed after yesterday's loss.

That's the case in the playoffs, losing one game and winning one game doesn't mean the end. Don't complain after losing, thinking about how to solve the problem is the way for men to stand on their feet.

Yiyang's eyes were fixed on the video, and this game was the first time this season that the Warriors used a five-small lineup against the Grizzlies.

"You need a ball handler, a shooter, you need someone who can do damage in the low post, you need someone to defend," Carlisle explained, as he watched, "and when you have three or four of those players, you can make a great small man lineup." A small lineup requires players to complement their physical and technical strengths, and use their strength to compensate for their height disadvantage. There's also to have chemistry, you know what your teammates are going to do next, you know when your teammates are going to cut in. ”

Looking at the Warriors' five little men working together on the court, they did. But with this kind of chemistry, the Mavericks are even more untouched. Even if Yiyang closes his eyes, he can find Wade's position on the field.

On the court, the Warriors' speed and space left the "Black and White Bears" with no place to play their defensive advantage. To be honest, in Randolph and Gasol, Yiyang seems to see the shadow of Gobert and Nowitzki yesterday.

On the defensive end, the Warriors used the form of assistance defense + single defense, which made the Grizzlies very unhappy. Especially at Randolph's point, the fact that Barnes was able to defend Randolph was not only because he was really powerful, but also because the rest of the Warriors would go up to the trap from time to time. But the mobility of the small lineup allows them to quickly make up for it after the pack.

It didn't take long for the footage of the Warriors vs. Grizzlies to be over. Because only the part of the death five small plays is intercepted, it is not a long time.

"As the Grizzlies staggered out of Oracle Arena, they were still looking for ways to win the game. But the Grizzlies have to face the brutal fact that they simply don't have a roster mix that can stand up to the Warriors! Curry and Thompson's three-pointers, a guard of Livingston's height, Barnes and Green's strength...... These players are not available anywhere. As it turns out, the traditional lineup can't deal with the Death Five, and the Grizzlies are an extremely traditional team that relies on tall interior offense and defense to lead the game. But we are different, we were able to put together a lineup with the five little hibiscus to fight against it! ”

After Carlisle finished speaking, Yiyang and Armstrong both cast surprised glances at him.

"I play the number one, Dwayne plays the number two, Toney plays small forward, and Iguodala plays power forward. And what about the center? It's impossible to let Aminu play center! Yiyang shook his head, Drummond. Green's bizarre interior is unique in the entire league, so no one in this league can replicate the success of the Warriors' five-man lineup.

"Rudy, of course, is the mobility that can adapt to the rhythm of the attack and defence. The reason why he seemed helpless in the last game was because he was completely unprepared! We don't have to go exactly the way of the Warriors, and we still have an inside barrier while playing fast, which is definitely perfect control for the Warriors! "Carlisle's line-up is very bold, one big and four small, which is not uncommon in the league. But Carlisle's big and four small have the strongest offensive ability in the case of solid defense. The offense and defense are very well balanced, everyone can change defenses quickly, and there are almost no shortcomings. In this way, it is just right to restrain Cole's unique "Five Little Deaths"!

Because the group of guys under Carlisle are also "wonderful".

Not all managers are as open as Kerr and Carlisle, who dare to challenge different rules. As long as you can win, no one cares if you're in the middle of five or five defenders.

"Are we going to rehearse this lineup today?" Yiyang looked at the video on the screen and rubbed his hands.

"That's right, in the next game, we're going to the Warriors' home court and give them a damn surprise!"

Carlisle took a sip of coffee and rubbed her dark eyes. In order to deal with Cole, he didn't study the game footage last night.

Kerr may not have imagined that in this league, there are people who can find a lineup combination to deal with the Death Five overnight.

Yiyang looked at Curry and Tony. Allen should have no problem getting Clay and Livingston's five-small weak point to Wade, and Iguodala will teach Barnes how to behave. And in the face of Gobert, Green doesn't want to pass easily!

Maybe the Mavericks can also be like the Warriors in the last round, three cities in a row, and then advance in a high-profile manner?

But before he can kick the Warriors' ass, Carlisle needs an hour's rest at his desk. After all, he didn't want to be the first head coach in NBA history to die suddenly because of his work.
