When Dirk. When Nowitzki appeared on the basketball court, ESPN's live photographer deliberately gave him and Drummond a chance to show off his appearance. Greene is a split-screen shot. Green's big mouth is notoriously loud, and he doesn't make a mistake no matter what level of team the opponent is. Even Nowitzki is so harmless to humans and animals.

Before the game began, ESPN reporters found Green again on the sidelines. But Green's attitude has not changed, and perhaps the excellent performance in the final game of the Western Conference semifinals has boosted Green's confidence.

"I must warn you, Dirk. Norwich City has the most points of any active player. ”

"I know, but not the most points this season." Green spread his hands, disapproving.

In the playoffs this season, Green's double-double data of 13.7 points and 10.1 rebounds per game is very gratifying, but Green's biggest role cannot be reflected in personal data, that is, a panacea defense.

From the No. 1 to No. 5 positions, Green seems to be able to defend. His rugged style and tough attitude are his greatest value.

In Green's opinion, Nowitzki is no longer a super scorer, so there is nothing to be afraid of such a veteran who is almost 37 years old.

"Looks like you're full of confidence, Drummond. Green. So, good luck with your race! After the reporter finished speaking, evacuated the scene. This also means that everything is ready before the game and waiting for the referee to kick off.

At the time of Green's interview, Dirk had been practicing his jumpers from various positions. Attentive Mavericks fans will find that Dirk didn't even miss a shot when he warmed up today!

At eight o'clock in the evening, golden time, the referee on duty personally threw the ball into the air. As a floor-flow center, Bogut doesn't have a dominant height and bounce, so the basketball is easily won by Gobert.

The moment Yiyang controlled the ball and began to advance, Mike. Brin's heart was beating wildly. This high-profile battle of the century has finally begun!

But after half the court, Yiyang immediately found Steve. Cole's caution. The person in front of Yiyang is Clay, who has an excellent defensive level. Thompson and Curry followed Wade. In other words, Kerr has no intention of letting Curry defend Yiyang, the star point guard. He perfectly hid the Warriors' biggest weakness on the defensive end!

"Hmph, smart." Yiyang pouted, Clay. Thompson, indeed, is a relatively difficult defender.

Why is it "relatively difficult"? Thompson's defense is very disciplined and does not lose position. Since his rookie season, he and Curry have been the hardest players he has to defend against the backcourt. However, in reality, in terms of individual defense, Clay's feet are not fast, his strength is not enough, and he does not have a strong sense of oppression.

Like Iguodala, Tony. People like Allen and Yiyang, playing against them, attacking players generally have to be very careful, because they may be cut off at any time. On top of that, the pressure they put on the defenders is also huge.

And Thompson's defense can't put pressure on the attacker, and he can do it without being easily shaken off, not being cleaned, and not easily out of position, but that's about it.

Yiyang didn't even call for cover, and directly made a large arc crossover, shook off a little space, and then used his speed to surpass Thompson by half a position.

Thompson was not completely shaken off the hook, nor was he out of position. But for a top scorer like Yiyang, half a body space is more than enough!

Yiyang kills the inside line directly, then stops sharply, pulls back under the crotch, and retreats to jump! Thompson tried to block it, but it was a little late. This kind of opportunity, Yiyang will not let go easily.

As soon as he opened, Yiyang took the lead in scoring with his strong singles. In fact, this is also a signal from Yiyang to Cole - don't think that changing your defense will limit me!

Yiyang's "opening show" did not disappoint the fans and commentators, and this high-profile game climaxed directly as soon as it came up. Of course, the Warriors' offense is also not to be underestimated. The Mavericks want to defend against the Warriors, but it's not easy at all.

Curry calmly controls the basketball in his hand in front of Yiyang, as if he has glue on his palm, and the basketball will always be "glued" back after it is photographed. Yiyang tried to pull out a few balls, but they were all nimbly avoided by Curry. This time, Yiyang almost lost his position because he pulled the ball. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and immediately blocked Curry's breakthrough route, otherwise it would have really made a big mistake.

However, Curry also took advantage of the moment when Yiyang's center of gravity was messy, bypassed Green's blocking and holding the ball to the right corner, and made a quick shot in the gap between Yiyang's defense!

Seeing that Curry completed his shot without any interference, Yiyang's heart instantly cooled. Sure enough, the sound of the Nets rolling immediately came from behind him, and Curry hit a three-point shot!

"Curry's three points, as soon as he opened, he used his killer move! The Warriors and Mavericks are both the best teams in the league to play blocking and dismantling, but even Yiyang does not have the ability to hold the ball and shoot three points directly after blocking and dismantling! The three-point shot is the Warriors' greatest strength, and Coach Kerr seems to be emphasizing that from the beginning!

”

The response of the Warriors and Curry did not disappoint, a clean three-point after borrowing the block, and Yiyang could only shake his head helplessly. As long as the interference can't get out at the first time, there is a chance that Curry will be able to throw the ball in!

3 to 2, Curry and Yiyang both scored singles with their individual abilities, regardless of Zhong Bo. can respond to Yiyang's goal so quickly, in the position of point guard, in addition to Paul, maybe Curry can do it.

In the subsequent attack, Yiyang was still violent. He reached out and called Nowitzki to cover, and then used the cover to get rid of Thompson. Thompson's anti-blocking and dismantling ability is actually not bad, but Yiyang is too fast, and before the "Tang God" has time to re-circle the front, Yiyang kills the inside.

"It seems that from the beginning of this series, Yi and Stephen have no reservations!"

Seeing that Thompson couldn't keep up for a while, Drummond. Green immediately used his strong body to stick to Yiyang!

Yiyang instantly became unable to move an inch, this guy Green is definitely a wonder. Although he will be more than two meters tall, his strength is much stronger than that of most tall insiders!

But Yiyang was not stopped, the Mavericks are so powerful, not only because Yiyang is powerful, but also because of the rest of this team!

Without giving any eyes, Yiyang passed the ball out from behind. Nowitzki didn't wait outside the three-point line, but cut inside down the middle. This back-to-back pass just fell into the hands of Dirk, who cut inside.

Nowitzki is no longer the tall, flexible and thin man he was when he was younger, with a similar style of play as Durant, although he can't use his speed to eat opponents, although he can't shake them off with beautiful dribbling feints. But Nowitzki relied on his tonnage and leaned on Thompson to make a slow three-step layup!

Nowitzki's layup was like a slow-motion replay, but he was particularly solid at every step. At the last shot, Dirk was actually a little far away from the basket, but the German's soft touch still hit the ball steadily!

"Pretty, how long has it been since we've seen Dirk score from a frontal breakaway? In previous games, Dirk has either shot from a spot or singled in the low post. However, that goal just now reminded me of Nowitzki before 2007. Although, the action is a little slower. ”

Dirk was naturally praised by all the commentators, and after the goal, Dirk also deliberately glared at Green. Green was naturally angry, if he hadn't been restrained by Yiyang just now, where would it be the turn of the old guy to be rampant!

On the next offense, Green deliberately stayed outside the three-point line after covering Curry, knowing that traditional big men like Gobert and Nowitzki would be difficult to defend.

Curry really understood, and followed Yiyang to a breakthrough point. The basketball was distributed to Green, and he didn't hesitate to catch the ball and shoot!

In the regular season, Green was able to shoot 33.7% of the three-point shooting rate that reached the qualified line, but in the high intensity of the playoffs, Green's three-point shooting rate instantly fell to a miserable 26.4%, and while the shooting rate dropped so much, Green's three-point shooting did not decline.

It can be seen that Green's long-range shooting ability is actually not as terrifying as people think. He can just shoot, but he doesn't necessarily get in. On that point alone, there's no difference between Green and Aminu on the Mavericks' bench.

Originally, the three points were unstable, and the moment Green shot, Nowitzki rushed out desperately! You know, in terms of height and reach, Nowitzki is more dominant! Green didn't expect Dirk to be so aggressive, and the only thing he could do to avoid the block was to turn up the arc.

However, as soon as the arc is adjusted, the range becomes shorter. I saw that the basketball flew very high, but when it fell, it fell directly into Gobert's hands, and it didn't touch the basket at all!

“Air ball！ Nowitzki's defense is really positive! ”

Nowitzki rushed to the front court immediately after the interference, and Green was stunned, did this old guy fight today?

Gobert wanted to launch a fast break with a long pass in the backcourt, but the Warriors retreated quickly, and they couldn't have allowed the Mavericks to hit a counterattack so easily. So Gobert gave up on the idea and handed the ball to Wade, allowing Wade to control the ball through half the court, because Yiyang had just run over.

Wade's possession is just as solid, but at his current pace, it's hard to shake off Curry with a feint to break through on his own. As soon as the half, Wade handed the ball to Yiyang. "The Flash" knows very well that now is not the time to play alone with the ball.

Yiyang stopped outside the three-point line to watch his teammates run. Wade got rid of Curry with a counter-run, and Yiyang immediately passed.

The basketball was delivered accurately, and Wade made a jumper after receiving the basketball. Unexpectedly, Curry was very active on defense this time, and he jumped high to completely block Wade's view.

Wade hit the basket with heavy interference from Curry, and everyone thought the offense was a failure, including Yiyang, because he had already started to retreat to the backcourt.

Green just turned around and was about to grab the board, but a tall figure turned sideways, stuck Green behind his back! You don't have to look to know that it's Nowitzki!

As a result, Nowitzki grabbed the offensive rebound in the muscles of Bogut and Green, two "confrontation madmen"! Without hesitation after landing, Dirk threw the ball directly outside the three-point line!

Yiyang was between the three-point line and the center at this time, and he reached out and grabbed Dirk's pass. After receiving the basketball, Yiyang grabbed the ball with his left hand, stretched out his right hand and pressed the palm of his hand to the outside, signaling his teammates to slow down. But this action looks very similar to the action of the traffic police on the road to stop.

Dramatically, Clay, who wanted to be on guard, really stopped after seeing Yiyang make this move. Of course, he didn't listen to Yiyang's orders, but he was afraid that he would be overtaken in one step if he stuck too tightly, so he stayed where he was.

But the fans couldn't see Clay's thoughts, and visually, it seemed that Yiyang made him stop.

After Yiyang signaled the team to press the rhythm, he looked up at the timer on the rebound and found that there were only 7 seconds left in the offensive time. Now there is nothing to organize, Yiyang simply has a heart, and jumps directly!

As a result, people saw Yiyang make a gesture to make Thompson "stop" and shoot directly from a long distance! The most terrifying thing is that the basketball is still hollow into the net! Drama, sometimes just such a coincidence.

"Hahahahaha, also, the action of reaching out to stop before shooting is really showy! Make a gesture before shooting, tell your teammates not to panic, and also tell Thompson not to come up, and then hit a three-point shot! This is a super long-range three-pointer just two steps away from halftime! "Mike. Brin shouted, believing that the scene would become a classic shot in the history of the NBA's Western Conference Finals.

After that, the match was interrupted by the referee. Because the timer is malfunctioning, it should just be back to the watch. However, the three-point shot and the classic picture of Yiyang's mistake have been retained.

"Damn!" Seeing Nowitzki and Yiyang so brilliant, Green gritted his teeth!

Yiyang shrugged his shoulders, after he got the ball, he wanted to play steadily again, so he made a gesture of pressing down with his palm, and only shot three points when he saw his teammates reminding him not to return to the table. Who knows, Yiyang inadvertently created the most exciting picture of this game.

But this kind of unintentional pretending is the most deadly.
