Stephen. Curry's self-confidence made Yiyang's heart palpitate. So much so that after returning home from a charity event, he kept wondering what the Warriors had come up with to deal with the Mavericks.

But the more he thought about it, the more chaotic Yiyang's mind became. How can I guess other people's minds, if I can, Yiyang doesn't have to "Qu Cai" to play basketball.

Shaking his head, Yiyang simply emptied his mind and slept beautifully with his wife in his arms. Knowing that Yiyang has an important game to play tomorrow, Vignali is also much more "honest" today. She put on a set of ordinary, even sloppy pajamas, just to "stimulate" Yiyang as little as possible.

Until he woke up with the sun the next morning, Yiyang couldn't wait to rush to the center arena of the American route after breakfast. For tonight's battle, Yiyang is already very eager to see the "answer".

What tricks the Warriors will use, whether the Mavericks can withstand the changes of the other party, these unknowns, Yiyang wants to know as soon as possible.

But before the game started, Carlisle gave Yiyang an answer.

"So, the Warriors are definitely going to have to play a small lineup." Listening to Yiyang describe Curry's confident appearance, Carlisle couldn't help frowning.

"Small lineup?"

"That's right, the Warriors' small lineup. In the last round of the series, in the face of the Grizzlies' tight defense, the Warriors relied on the combination of a small lineup to get through. If there's one way Kerr has to go, it's a small lineup. ”

"But if you do that, won't their inside line be completely at a disadvantage!?" Yiyang spread his hand, if Kerr really plays a small lineup, then the highest point on the Warriors will be Green and Barnes, who are just over two meters tall. As a result, Gobert and Nowitzki will be overturned on the inside.

"Don't forget, the twin-tower lineup of Randolph and Gasol is probably the best interior offensive combination in the league. However, they don't have much to do with the Warriors' small lineup. Green may be short, but his defense is against Rudy, who can't attack. More than enough. As for Barnes, his power is terrifying, and with his interference, Dirk may not be too easy to play. And the feature of the Warriors' small lineup is not defense, but offense. With that, Carlisle took a tactical board and discussed it seriously with Yiyang.

"During the time the Warriors play on a small lineup, the team's characteristics and strengths can be displayed and magnified infinitely. Fast break, high blocking, air cutting, and moving balls...... When the Warriors' five-small lineup comes up, they shoot more three-pointers. It's a system where everybody is a passer, which is similar to the Spurs' offensive system, but everybody's a finisher, which is pretty scary. In particular, their tactics built around the three-point shot relied on the individual offensive strengths of Curry and Thompson, two all-time three-point shooters, to drive the entire team's offense. And under this offensive system, he has borrowed the methods of many excellent coaches, such as Phil. Jackson's "triangle offense", with Green as the core to run around him, use Green's assist ability to let the team's strong players play alone, etc......., etc., etc., etc. "While speaking, the tactical board in Carlisle's hand has been densely drawn, but he believes that Yiyang can understand it.

"You're saying that the Warriors are going to make up for their defensive deficiencies with the ultimate fast-paced offense."

"That's right, once the five-small squad is on the field, it won't take long to score high. After that, it will be very difficult for other teams to chase after it. That's how the Memphis Grizzlies were picked off the horse. Carlisle shook his head, if everything really went as he thought, then the Warriors' attack power would be very, very terrifying.

In the spear and shield duel, the Grizzlies, a strong shield in the West, have been pierced. Now, it's the turn of the Dallas Mavericks to pick up.

Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, the same as last year. On the Eastern Conference side, the Eastern Conference Finals between the Cavaliers and Hawks are almost to the point where no one cares. On the Western Conference Finals, it was very lively.

Before the game began, Curry and Yiyang deliberately looked at each other. Sure enough, they were all completely different from yesterday afternoon when they were at the orphanage. Yiyang is not humorous at all, he is expressionless and cold. Curry is not humble at all, and he can't see Meng from his face, but only a confident arrogance.

By Kerr's inertia, the five-man lineup won't come out at the start. Normally, this small lineup only plays less than 15 minutes, but the Warriors often rely on those 15 minutes to kill games. Therefore, this small lineup also has a very bluffing name - Death Five Small.

At the beginning of the race, everything was normal. The Warriors, for their part, are still the same starters from the previous game, and there is nothing special about it.

In the first quarter of the game, the two sides were in charge. Yiyang still scored a few goals on Barnes' head, but it wasn't as easy as yesterday.

And Curry is also not soft, this guy is basically the same as Yiyang, and there is no defense that can completely contain him. In this game, Kerr developed a lot of double screen tactics for Curry. That is, Green and Bogut are on the same side, doing two layers of cover for Curry! In this way, not to mention the difficulty of Yiyang's follow-up defense, even the difficulty of supplementing defense is also very great!

Relying on this move, Curry hit four three-pointers in the first quarter. Two of the balls were hit under Yiyang's interference, and once this guy felt his hand and threw it, he was really perverted.

And the Mavericks were not to be outdone, and Yiyang shot 3 of 5 three-pointers, which was not inferior. At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led by four points, 36-32. 36 points in a single quarter, which is already a high score. What Cole didn't expect was that the calf would still be able to bite.

"And Stephen. Curry's series is definitely another classic of fairy fights in the history of the NBA playoffs! ”

No wonder no one watched the Eastern Conference Finals at all, not that the Cavaliers and Hawks couldn't do it, but that the Mavericks and Warriors were too strong.

In the first half of the second quarter, the two teams were still playing anxiously. But after six minutes of play, Steve Brown. Cole began to make substitutions. Curry, Thompson, Livingston, Barnes and Green were all on the scene at the same time, and the Dead Five is finally here!

At this time, the Mavericks were still on the court with Dirk and Gobert on the court. Although Gobert's movement speed is very fast on the inside, he still seems very difficult in the face of the super fast offensive and defensive speed of the five smalls!

Five of the most athletic athletes have an advantage in terms of speed, and in the absence of a traditional tall center, they can enjoy a fast attacking tempo and increase the number of offensive rounds and points scored. In addition, the players of the Warriors team today felt very good and hit the ball frequently. After a while, the Warriors pulled away a little bit.

Fast-paced, high-turned, and high-scored, Kerr got everything he wanted!

Yiyang thought about hoisting the ball to Nowitzki and Gobert to play, but problems arose. Gobert faced Green on the inside, and he didn't take half of the advantage! Because of Gobert's rough technique, the only way to score is to catch the ball, dunk or make a layup. But the strong Green pushed Gobert's suffocating tower far away from the basket, so that Gobert's height advantage could not be used at all.

Subsequently, Yiyang tried Nowitzki. I have to admit it. Barnes' push did take a toll on Dirk's tempo. Dirk was still able to score goals and was not outright crushed like Randolph. But Dirk's offensive efficiency is simply insignificant under the Warriors' high-pitched offense with five small rounds at all.

Yiyang ran out of breath, and the five small allowed the Warriors to switch the Mavericks outside more flexibly, and there was basically no misalignment. Even Livingston against Iguodala has no obvious disadvantage in height. Although Livingston plays point guard, he is also 2.01 meters tall.

Coupled with Curry's accurate shooting, under the offensive of the five small deaths, the Warriors widened the difference to 10 points before the end of the half!

Ten points, this is also the largest point difference between the two teams in the series so far!

"Damn, what a horrible offensive efficiency!" At halftime, Yiyang's fists never relaxed. The power of the Warriors' death is more terrifying than Yiyang imagined.

It can be said that the first time the Warriors used the death five, they were forced out by the Grizzlies. And this time, the Mavericks once again pushed out the full potential of the Warriors.

In fact, it's not just Yiyang who finds it incredible, when the Warriors fell behind the Grizzlies 1-2 in the last series, the Warriors' special adviser Nick . Jurayne suggested using a five-man lineup for a change of formation. At that time, even Warriors head coach Kerr didn't seem very confident about such a change. In other words, even Cole himself didn't expect that the power of the five little ones would be so huge! After all, no one has ever played this game like this in the basketball world!

But now, what did they do? They left the great Dallas Mavericks helpless!

In the third quarter of the game, the Warriors' regular lineup battled! The Mavericks became more and more courageous under the leadership of Yiyang, and Yiyang frequently succeeded in shooting outside the three-point line, and his training was not in vain. Wade, on the other hand, holds the ball to attack the city, and Wade will not be soft when it is time to contribute!

The Warriors looked a little overwhelmed by such a comeback, and the Mavericks not only moved back to a ten-point deficit, but also led by two points at the end of the third quarter! In this quarter of the game, Yiyang let Curry "swallow eggs" outside the three-point line. The Mavericks forced out the strongest warriors, and the Warriors forced out the strongest calves.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the difference between the two sides fluctuated between two points and zero points, and no one could help anyone. Mike. Brin was so fascinated that he had a chance to catch his breath with every timeout.

In the final three minutes of the fourth quarter, Kerr switched to a five-man lineup again. This time, the Mavericks are prepared. But Nowitzki and Gobert couldn't keep up with the pace of the five-small offense. In the constant cover and running of the five, Nowitzki and Gobert became weaknesses. The Warriors don't kill the three-second zone, they float outside and shoot! Now, they finally know why the Warriors were able to defeat the Grizzlies.

In the past, it was thought that shooting could not kill the game. But the Mavericks of 2011 won the championship thanks to the organization of Kidd and Yiyang and the mid-pitch. And now the Warriors are moving towards the championship with mid- and long-range shooting!

The offensive firepower of the five-small lineup is uncontrollable, and everyone in the Warriors shot today, from Curry to Green, everyone can hit the basketball, which undoubtedly makes it more difficult for the Mavericks to defend.

In the final 23 seconds, Curry assisted Green on a mid-range shot. After Gobert was blocked by Barnes, there was no time to make up for Green, who was like an outside lineman.

After that shot, the Warriors led the Mavericks by four points. At the last moment, Yiyang miraculously hit a three-pointer and scored his 35th point in the game. But helplessly, time is no longer on the side of the calf. In the end, in front of the Death Five, the Mavericks could only swallow the defeat by one point.

108-109, the Mavericks' first loss in the playoffs this season!

"The Golden State Warriors broke the Mavericks' undefeated golden body with a lineup of five small deaths! The incredible Golden State Warriors, who won the game despite scoring 35 points! God, maybe they are the only ones in the whole league who can do this! "The moment the game ended, Mike. Brin felt that his breathing was no longer smooth, and he could only yell at this to get his breathing back to normal.

", if only one more minute, no, another 24 seconds......." Yiyang unwillingly hammered a punch to the basketball hoop, very unwilling.

And Cole, who won the game, was also a little shocked, he had increased the playing time of the Death Five, but only won the Mavericks by one point, what are you kidding!? Even if the Warriors made one less shot, the result of today's comparison would be very different!

The shield of the Maverick is already more terrifying than the grizzly bear, which is known for its defense.

And Carlisle didn't feel much distress when he lost the game, although he was a little unwilling, but after seeing the Warriors' five hours with his own eyes, he seemed to have found a way to deal with it......

The total score is 1-1, which means that the game between the two sides has entered a white-hot stage.
