Mistakes, inexplicable mistakes. When Carlisle saw Yiyang "passing" the ball to Ginobili again, he even had an urge to "replace that guy".

This is Yiyang's first mistake in this game? At first, Carlisle was still counting, but as he counted, Carlisle couldn't count. Because the number of mistakes in Yiyang today is too much!

"Well, this is his fifth mistake today, and oh my God, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the highest number of career mistakes in four years! His passing today was a bit too haphazard, and the Spurs players targeted his passing route. ”

In Mike. As Brin spoke, Ginobili, who had intercepted the ball, had already galloped to the front. Tony. Aaron clung to Ginobili's back, and he didn't want the balding old guy to continue scoring.

However, a European step by Ginobili still allowed him to avoid Tony behind him. Allen, easy layup.

"Entered, Manu played a vital role in the defensive counterattack today! Can you believe it? A 37-year-old veteran can still run wild on the court all the time. ”

"Manu had to run wild, and the last game that was supposed to be his was stolen by Carter. So today, Manu is bound to get that game back! Kevin. Haaland seemed to have anticipated such a situation, and in the final 1.7 seconds he scored a magical stunner, but in the end no one remembered him. Ginobili is not the kind of guy who is willing to swallow his anger, everything he lost in the last game, he will get back today!

After Ginobili's goal, the Mavericks trailed the Spurs by 12 points in the final five minutes of the game. In the first game of the series, the Mavericks were able to keep the Spurs without a point in the final seven minutes before coming back to win by 12 points.

But today, judging by the current state of the Mavericks, I'm afraid that this kind of thing is not possible.

In fact, not only Yiyang today, but everyone in the Mavericks team had an astonishingly high number of turnovers. Even inexplicable mistakes such as walking and 24-second violations have occurred.

So far, Mavericks have made a full 20 mistakes, and Yiyang alone accounts for a quarter. What about the Spurs? There were only 6 turnovers in the game, which was within normal range.

Feel free, that's where the Mavericks players are today. After the Spurs' offense passed, Dio scored on Nowitzki's head with a "golden rooster independent stepback". Ironically, today Nowitzki is in terrible shape. So far in the fourth quarter, only 3 of 10 shots have been made, and only 9 points have been scored. As the team's second-in-command, his performance was clearly substandard. Dio's goal was also clearly a provocation towards Nowitzki.

"This game was a disaster!" Armstrong put his hands over his face, perhaps the worst game the Mavericks have played so far this season.

Carlisle was silent, his eyes still fixed on the pitch. This group of guys thinks about the "cow and horse war" too simply.

If the opponent is another team, they may be able to relax once in a while. But in the face of the spurs, every trance you have will bring fatal results!

In the final five minutes, the Mavericks still didn't recover. The inexplicable mistakes continued, and the hit rate continued to decline. The back-to-back scores of Ginobili and Duncan allowed them to take the game away completely.

When the electronic beep pierced the air in the stadium, Yiyang looked around in a trance, and then looked up at the big screen at the scene.

103-92, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Mavericks by 11 points at home, bringing the series to 2-1! The GDP trio combined for 57 points, of which Ginobili alone scored 27 points, and his performance back to the top undoubtedly allowed this guy to regain the glory that belonged to him in the last game.

And what about the Mavericks? Nowitzki finished with just 4-of-11 shooting, and his 11 points was also the lowest playoff score Nowitzki had in his career.

Iguodala shot 3-of-11, and the guy missed several open mid-range jumpers today.

Nick. Young made 2 of 8 shots, and there is no doubt that he did not complete the task of stealing points well today. Carlisle then replaced Nick with Carter. Young, although Carter performed well, shooting 3 of 4, was very efficient, and lived up to his nickname of "card three knives". But in this kind of game, three goals, there's no way to change anything.

Darren. Collison only had two points and two rebounds, which was clearly not what he should be. Gobert had three turnovers and scored just three points. This kid was under the desperate defense of Duncan and Split, and he was unable to perform.

Of course, the most disappointing today is undoubtedly Yiyang. 28 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds, shooting 65%. It seems that Yiyang's performance today is not bad. But if you were told that this guy made a full 6 mistakes today, do you still think he was efficient?

The Spurs as a team only had six turnovers. Yiyang's mistake allowed Ginobili to get too many opportunities to counterattack. It can be said that Ginobili scored 27 points today, and Yiyang "contributed a lot".

After the game, Carlisle didn't speak to the players and walked straight to the players' tunnel. And the Mavericks players also refused all requests for interviews from reporters, and in the face of a big defeat, no one was in the mood to talk about it in front of the camera.

During this time, the players did not speak to anyone, until they reached the dressing room, and everyone was eerily quiet.

Carlisle cleared his throat when he saw that the players were almost here, and was about to lash out and scold the boys.

But Yiyang suddenly stood up at this time, making Carlisle stunned and suffocating back the sentence "raised by you bitches" that he had almost blurted out.

"I should take the biggest responsibility for losing today." Yiyang stood up and looked at his teammates around him. And there was no blame in the eyes of the others, only surprise.

"Leading 2-0 seems to make me think the Spurs too simply. They're the San Antonio Spurs! Damn, I'm stupid. Yiyang, who is usually taciturn, rarely speaks in front of everyone, but this time he actually stood up and admitted his mistakes, which really surprised everyone.

It is not easy for a person to dare to admit mistakes. And it is also not easy for Yiyang to speak in front of so many people. But Yiyang overcame these two difficulties at the same time, in order to have the responsibility on his shoulders.

Carlisle smiled, he suddenly didn't want to curse.

"No, it's not your fault alone. All of us didn't play very well. Losing and winning is never a one-man thing. Nowitzki also stood up, and as the spiritual leader of this team, he was beaten to the ground by Dior today. This is not only an insult to himself, but also to the Mavericks as a team!

"I shouldn't have rushed it, it wasted too many opportunities." Iguodala raised her hand.

"I'm also responsible, today I gave Ginobili 27 points, damn it!" Tony. Aaron shook his head.

"I ...... I shouldn't have forced a layup when Duncan and Split were in the middle. Goebel hung his head.

"I shouldn't have rushed to shoot."

"I should have been more focused."

......

Carlisle and Armstrong watched as the players spontaneously came forward one by one to admit their mistakes, and had no intention of stepping forward to bother. Sometimes, the manager has to say something. But sometimes, it's better for the manager not to interject.

"I've been in the league for 20 years, Rick. But everybody came out and said they weren't that crazy, and this was the first time I'd seen it! Armstrong muttered quietly beside Carlisle.

"That's right, because the leaders of other teams may not be as bold as they are to say that their performance on the field has hurt the team."

"Didn't you just say that you were going to teach them a hard lesson?"

"No, there's no need for that, Darrell. Their leader has done my job for me. You know Darrell, I even feel ......"

"What do you think?"

"I even feel that this game was just the right loss!" Carlisle said, smiling slightly. "Let them know how desperate the other person is. This group of boys will not squander their opportunities. ”

After all the players finished speaking, they all turned their heads to look at Carlisle, who was silent on the sidelines. Carlisle walked the middle of the pack and the players were ready to "embrace" his fury.

"In this game, you guys didn't play as good as shit." Carlisle was not polite to his players. "But luckily, we didn't lose a tie-break, we didn't lose the O'Brien Cup. So, folks, the San Antonio Spurs are never going to be easy. I hope that in the next game, you will not let the people who support you again, and you will not let down yourselves. ”

Carlisle finished speaking, glancing around the players who were staring at him. Well, these guys are already on fire in their eyes, so let's stop in moderation. If you add fuel to the fire, it may backfire.

"Let's go back to the hotel early to rest after everyone packs up, no one is allowed to be late for tomorrow's training!"

With that, Carlisle and Armstrong turned to leave. Sometimes, a defeat can have an unexpected "positive" impact on the team.

The Mavericks finally lost, which undoubtedly made many people extremely happy. For example, the pundits who wrote in the media claiming that the Mavericks were definitely not going to advance, as well as Spurs supporters, believe that the Mavericks are on the verge of collapse, as evidenced by 22 turnovers. In the ATT Center's two games, the Spurs will surely win the game to level the aggregate score and then continue to score in Dallas to win the game.

"They will definitely lose the next game, and then they will start to collapse unstoppably, and even Yiyang will not be able to save such a defeat no matter how miraculous he is!"

"I have to remind you that the Mavericks won both of their games with a last-minute three-point shot. The Spurs won the game by suppressing the opponent by 11 points. It is obvious who relies on luck and hard power. The Mavericks can't suppress the Spurs, but the Spurs can suppress the Mavericks very effectively. The final qualifier seems to be already predictable. ”

"Ginobili slashed 27 points! Carter's luck in the last game seemed to make the Mavericks players forget the horror of Manu's final blow. Manu is in good shape right now, and the Dallas Mavericks are waiting to be swept away by him! ”

This shocking news has even made some Mavericks supporters worry about the team's prospects.

In this regard, during the media session during the second day of practice, neither the Mavericks players nor coaches contradicted those people's opinions. They pass by all the questions because now whatever you say is going to be questioned and ridiculed. The best and only way to slap those people is to win!

The best way to get revenge is to do the most beautiful thing to surprise them when everyone is not looking favorably on you. For this set of "procedures", everyone on the Mavericks has long been familiar with it.

Because over the years, the Mavericks have been favored for only a handful of times.

However, people who have always looked down on the Mavericks will pay the price, and it is only a matter of time.

The journalists themselves say that the "bull-horse war" is not so simple. This sentence is applicable to both the Spurs and the Mavericks......
