Chapter 812: On the Edge of the Cliff
Russell. Westbrook steals DeLong. Williams' ball, his gambling steals made Thunder fans tremble. This kind of ball, if you grab it, it's a dragon, and if you can't grab it, you're out of position.
But Delon was clearly unprepared, and Westbrook's movements were just too fast for him. Westbrook made a steal, went straight into the box, and used a nasty tomahawk slam dunk to end the offense, and nearly end the game.
"Russell. Westbrook! Nice fast break! God, the game is over with 3 minutes left, and after that goal, the Mavericks are already trailing by 15 points. We saw that Dirk had taken off his training uniform and was preparing on the technical bench. But his physical fitness ..... Is it really okay? ”
Mike. Brin clenched his fists, the defending champion, the legendary Maverick, can't just be swept away!
Wade received a pass from Deron from outside the three-point line, and Gobert immediately stepped forward to cover. But Wade was just about to speed up when he was delayed by Adams. After that, Roberson immediately came back from the defense, and Wade's offensive line was blocked in an instant.
There was no way, Wade had to return the ball to DeLong. With a stop-and-go rhythm, Delon shook Westbrook away. Despite Westbrook's physical strength, his defensive habits are not very good.
DeLong managed to break through, but his speed was no longer comparable to that of the past. Seeing Adams rushing back to the box, Deron gritted his teeth and continued to accelerate.
I promised Old Man Sloan that I would definitely get the O'Brien Cup! How can you fall in the divisional semifinals!?
Deron accelerated to the basket, but Adams didn't catch up. But Congolese striker Ibaka suddenly came out and slapped Delong with the ball!
"Sergi. Serge Ibaka, although he has suffered a major injury, he is no longer so terrifyingly athletic. But if anyone dares to burst into the penalty area, Ibaka will still make him look good! ”
DeLong was knocked down, but the referee didn't blow the whistle. Williams has nothing to complain about about this, that's the playoff scale.
The Thunder hit a fast break, and Durant received Westbrook's three-point shot and shot through the heart. In the last 2 minutes and 18 seconds, the Mavericks are 18 points behind!
"Pause, pause!" Carlisle shouted anxiously, he hadn't been so anxious in a long time as he had been today. 2 minutes and 18 seconds to chase 18 points, which is too difficult for the Mavericks, too difficult.
"Damn! Sergi! Deron wiped his sweat and cursed as he got off the field.
"Barria! Later, you will play, run actively, and make a decisive move when you get the opportunity! Dirk, you are the same, the main outside the three-point line, I want you to wander more on the outside! Vince, you replace Andre and ask for the same, look for opportunities outside the three-point line! "Carlisle has replaced all the players who have three-point shooting ability, and now it's too late to defend. The only way he can do it is to gamble with his offense.
If the bet is won, the Mavericks will still have a chance in this series. If you lose your bet...... No, he can't lose, he can't let the Mavericks' three-game winning streak stop there!
At this time, it stands to reason that the offensive task will fall on Yiyang's head. But at this time, neither on or off the field, people could not see Yiyang's figure in the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
"It's thrilling, the Mavericks are 18 points behind. If this game is lost again, the series aggregate score will be 3-1! 3-1, which is not a thankful score for the Mavericks. This is perhaps the most thrilling series of the Mavericks in the playoffs in three years! "Mike. Brin couldn't believe his eyes, the past two years have been a stretch of relief for the Mavericks ahead of the Western Conference Finals. Last season, he played two consecutive rounds of 4-0, and it was not until the Western Conference Finals against the Warriors that he finally lost one.
But now, just in the Western Conference semifinals, the Mavericks are teetering on the brink of elimination.
"He hasn't returned until today, and he's missed four games so far in this series! The only thing we know now is that Yi's child has been successfully delivered and that the mother and daughter are safe. I hope I can come back in time for the next game! Kevin. Harlan shook his head, because of Vignari's matter, Yiyang "disappeared" after hitting the rocket.
Since the first game of the Western Conference semifinals, people have not seen Yiyang again. In the history of the NBA playoffs, it has happened that a star has missed a game due to personal matters, which eventually led to the elimination of the team. Wasn't Carter, who used to be squirted out because he went back to attend North Carolina's graduation ceremony during the playoffs? Although in the second game of the series, the three veterans of Delon, Wade and Dirk broke out collectively and combined to score 63 points and pull one back for the Mavericks. But the situation is still firmly controlled by Durant and Westbrook. Until now, they were only 2 minutes and 18 seconds away from making the aggregate score 3-1!
However, it is understandable that people are absent from the game because of such things as their wives giving birth to children. After all, adults and children alike need to be taken care of now. As a husband and father, Yiyang has the obligation and responsibility to be by his wife and children's side. But if the Thunder make the overall score 3-1, will the Mavericks definitely be able to turn the tables even if Yiyang returns?
The miracle of the Rockets' reversal of the Clippers last season was a small probability event after the timing and place were right and all the people were satisfied. In the face of the menacing Thunder, no one thought that the Mavericks could turn the tables after falling behind 3-1, even if they had Yiyang.
"As long as you can come back, anything is possible." Mike. Brin answered categorically that the biggest problem of the Mavericks is that there is no Yiyang!
The timeout was over quickly, and Mike. Brin and Kevin. Harlan also stopped small talk. The Mavericks have switched to an extremely aggressive lineup, and they're going to take a gamble!
Carter scored a three-pointer as soon as he came up, demonstrating the immortal momentum of the veteran. But soon, Durant returned one on Carter's head. Carter Sr. is not known for his defense, and Carter has no way to deal with a super scorer like Durant.
After the next round, Delon's wonderful assist allowed Jose. Barria hit his second three-pointer in a row! The hearts of the fans in the Chesapeake Energy Arena are tight, and the Mavericks really have some momentum to turn the tables!
But soon, Westbrook used his incredible impact to get into the box, make a layup, and draw a foul on Gobert. Standing on the free throw line, Westbrook added a free throw and hit it steadily, and the Thunder once again pulled the score back away, without letting the Mavericks get up!
The Thunder and Mavericks are also bitter enemies in the playoffs, with both teams knocking each other out. The last time the two teams met in the playoffs was in the 13-14 season. At that time, the ambitious Thunder fell to the Mavericks.
Now, having finally got a chance to crush the Mavericks, Westbrook and Durant certainly won't miss it! They have been hungry for a championship for years, and after years of Harden's departure, injuries to Durant, Ibaka and Westbrook, and a change of coach, the team is finally back on track this year.
It is simply appropriate to describe this season's Thunder as Nirvana Rebirth. It's time to make the championship dream come true! In the first round, the Thunder cleanly eliminated the Clippers with a total score of 4-1. Now, if they can get past the Mavericks, they will be one step closer to the championship!
Therefore, although the Mavericks did not have Yiyang, the Thunder and the second young man still played at full strength.
The Mavericks score, and the Thunder can quickly pick up. If Carlisle wants to turn the tables, the team will have to play an attacking climax. However, in addition to scoring on his own, the offensive climax must also ensure that the opponent cannot score. For now, the Mavericks can't play an offensive climax at all.
In the end, Carlisle's gamble was unsuccessful. The Dallas Mavericks still lost the game by 15 points, and the Mavericks' veterans were powerless against Westbrook and Durant, two MVP-caliber players. They have done their best, but the gap in strength allows them to only watch the Thunder take the victory away.
The Thunder players all rushed into the stadium and hugged each other excitedly. 3 to 1, what does it mean? This means that the Thunder will be the first team in three years to be able to defeat the Mavericks in the playoffs!
They are going to bury the legend with their own hands!
Carlisle shook his head, he had taken out all his belongings for this game. But without Yiyang and Maverick and Maverick with Yiyang, the combat effectiveness is completely different. That's where superstars come in, and they're hard to be replaced by others.
It's 3 to 1, and now, all hope is on you, too!
Meanwhile, in a hospital in Dallas, Yiyang is looking at a baby inside through an incubator. The face of this "paralyzed" man was full of smiles, that kind of happy smile that could not be concealed.
"This little guy is very lively and seems to be a natural athlete!" Dr. Ryan looked at the little guy in the incubator proudly, although all kinds of situations happened during the production process, but he solved them all together, and this led to a safe ending for the mother and daughter.
"Look at him, Ryan, how hard that calf kicks! Oh my God, he's going to be a dunk guy in the future! "Yiyang used to hate children very much, the smell of milk on their bodies made Yiyang unbearable, and coaxing children was also very troublesome in Yiyang's opinion.
But now, when he faces his child, he is overjoyed.
"Are you going to let this kid play basketball in the future?"
"I won't force him, but if he wants to, I'll support him!"
"Ha, this guy is still so young. It's hard to imagine that he's going to be like you in the future. Vignari has been recovering well these days? ”
"Well, it's well recovered, not so weak anymore." Yiyang got up and rubbed his eyes full of dark circles. In the past few days, she has been taking care of Vignari day and night, and Yiyang has not been able to sleep well at night.
"After so many days, the mother and son are actually fine. The next game series is back in Dallas...... You're coming back, right? Now we're 1-3 down, too. Ryan's tone was worried, because he was not only an obstetrician-gynecologist, but also a Mavericks fan!
He was very happy that Yiyang's son was born, but he didn't want to let this joy be diluted because the Mavericks were eliminated.
Hearing Ryan say this, the smile on Yiyang's face faded slightly. 1 to 3, is it already so grim?
But now that Vignari and her son are safe, Yiyang can be regarded as able to relax and focus on the game.
"I'll be back in the next game, Vignali and the little guy's situation, you pay more attention."
"Don't worry, you can go and kick Thunder's ass with peace of mind! I will guarantee the health of your wife and children with my life! Ryan patted his chest.
Yiyang smiled, are you ready? The King of Dallas is coming back! (https:)
