Chapter 610: Miracles, Don't Black Eight

Ten points out of 10 to get Mark. Jackson was out of breath, he looked at his home guard Curry, and within minutes of the game, the babyface was already out of breath.

Yiyang's defense was too tight, which made Curry very unbearable. Against Yiyang, Curry's physical strength is several times that consumed against others. The team's first scoring point is stuck, which is quite fatal for a team.

Anxiously Mark. Jackson looked at the Mavericks' bench, and after the timeout, the Carlisle guy would definitely let Gobert play. While it was Gobert's playoff debut, Mark Murphy. Jackson knew that any attempt to make a mistake on Gobert's head was foolish.

It's not okay to attack the basket, but Curry, Thompson and Harris. The Barnes trio will be heavily defended by the Mavericks' outside trident. After looking around, Mark. The only thing Jackson can rely on now is David. Lee.

David. Lee is still able to score 18.2 points this season and is a solid offensive point. It's just that his shot order is behind Curry and Thompson, so the points per game average doesn't seem so bluffing.

Nowitzki is the Mavericks' only defensive weakness on the court. Lee can open up the situation, and the Mavericks' defense will gradually unravel.

"David, in the next game, I need you to increase the number of shots." Mark. Jackson said in despair, if it's not a last resort, who will leave Curry and Thompson unused?

David. Lee nodded, it was not easy to challenge Dirk, who was in such a hot state today......

Sure enough, just like Mark. As Jackson expected, after returning from the timeout, the tall French "Divine Tower" Gobert moved his body and stepped onto the court.

The Frenchman bent down, and Yiyang muttered something in his ear. As expected, Yiyang, the leader, should be trying to keep Gobert calm and not be nervous or anything.

Mark. Jackson shook his head, the Frenchmen are also people who have been playing professionally for several years, and they are more adaptable than the rookies who came out of the NCAA. Even if you are nervous, you can't be nervous for a few minutes.

His appearance forced the Warriors to abandon the basket offense. Whether the Warriors can withstand the pressure and play the first quarter depends on David. Lee's play.

After the game restarted, the unrelenting Curry still scored a three-pointer by running without the ball and catching the ball and shooting. But this three-point shot is still against Yiyang's defense, and Curry himself knows that this is not a consistent offensive means.

Then the Mavericks attacked, and the Warriors still played a trap-and-wrap strategy against Nowitzki. With Dyreham Porter on the floor, you can almost ignore the Mavericks' center on the offensive end. But when Gobert was there, everything was different.

It's not that Gobert's offense is so powerful, the Frenchman wants to shoot but doesn't shoot, and he has back skills and no back skills. Arguably, his rough offense was the biggest reason why he was too low in the draft and didn't end up being selected for the All-Star Rookie Game.

But with Yiyang's threading of the needle, Gobert doesn't need too good offensive skills to score easily.

After bursting inside, Yiyang only needs to throw the ball high and Gobert will press it into the box. His height is unmatched, and O'Neal Jr. can only watch Gobert with his mouth wide open, his mind full of the shadow of himself ten years ago.

As soon as the timeout returned, the Warriors' basket was once again wreaking havoc. The Mavericks' advantage on the inside was well used by Yiyang.

But Mark. Jackson wasn't in a hurry, David. Lee hasn't touched a basketball since he came back from a timeout. The quality of that guy's offense will ultimately determine the fate of the Warriors' first quarter of the game.

This time, Curry did not continue to shoot, but obediently handed over the offensive power to David. Plum.

David. Lee seems to have returned to the New York era, when he was the team's top scorer!

However, when David. When Lee was in the middle range with the ball in front of the frame, he realized that Dirk's defense was not as loose as he thought. In fact, Nowitzki's defense is not bad, but the defensive ability of the four people around him is too strong, which will create the illusion that "Dirk is a hole in the Mavericks' defense".

David. Lee made a triple threat with the ball, then accelerated to Dirk's left-hand side. But this simple and crude way naturally couldn't defeat Dirk.

No way, David. Lee turned to a basket attack and took advantage of his weight to sit inside.

After stepping into the three-second zone with one foot, David. Lee turned inside and shot. However, Dirk's long arm makes David. Lee's shooting rhythm is disrupted. The basketball hits the front of the basket and bounces out. Gobert jumped high and didn't give O'Neal Jr. a chance to grab the rebound at all.

David. Lee is now Mark. Jackson's last straw, but he seemed to be out of the way, and the offense failed as soon as he came up.

David. Li's shot missed, and Yiyang would not be polite. He suddenly grabbed the basketball with one hand and sent it to the inside during the break.

Everyone thought that Yiyang was going to pass the ball to Gobert, so they hurriedly blocked it. But after the basketball was sent out, he didn't get rid of it, Yiyang grabbed the basketball with one hand and retracted his arm, and then shot directly.

This feint made the stands exclaim, whether Yiyang was intentional or unintentional, the action just now was very similar to Michael. Jordan's trademark one-handed grab fake pass.

Mark. Jackson swallowed, Yiyang's guy is now simply a Michael wearing the No. 1 jersey. Jordan!

Subsequently, David. Lee tried his second singles against Nowitzki. The Germans were in excellent form today and were tough defensively as well. Judging by Dirk's current performance, anyone who makes fun of him as a "soft ass" is stupid. This guy is tough, tougher than anyone thinks.

David. Lee slowed down three steps to the basket, intending to use his body to crush into the inside. But under Dirk's defense, David. Li felt that the soles of his feet were unstable at all, and he had the feeling of walking on the edge of a cliff, and he could fall down at any time.

The interior player's slow three-step layup is about a composure, but David. Lee apparently didn't do that. In the case of the fluctuating center of gravity, David. Lee's layup just added another rebound to Gobert's stats.

David. Lee's two consecutive offensive failures made Mark Brown. Jackson had to bow his head. The Warriors, who are eager to reproduce the "Black Eight Miracle", have not even finished the first quarter of the game before they have experienced the huge strength gap between the first and eighth in the West!

In the following games, the Mavericks played steadily all the way and did not give the Warriors any chance to turn the tables. Curry has been playing like crazy all game, and it seems that the No. 30 has not yet adapted to Yiyang's playoff-level defense.

David. Lee finally played in the third quarter of the game, hitting four goals in a row, and Nowitzki could only spread his hands helplessly.

But this is always just a flash in the pan, and as the team's top scorer, you can't just rely on a flash in the pan to lead the team.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Klay. Thompson's three consecutive three-pointers seemed to give the Warriors hope. But Carlisle will Tony. After Allen was replaced again, Thompson immediately became dumbfounded.

And just like that, the game came to an end. When the red light on the rebound came on, Mark. Jackson felt a sense of relief. 109-98, the Warriors didn't close the margin to single digits until the end.

Not long after he was "liberated", Mark. Jackson descended into deeper despair. Because this is a series, the Warriors and Mavericks have to meet each other several times in a row.

The nightmare is not over, it has just begun.

"It's over, Stephen. Curry scored just 14 points and shot 37.5 percent from the field! That's right, 37.5%! That's a full 10 percentage points lower than Stephen's average this season! Yi's defense made Stephen taste the bitterness. This is the playoffs, and if the Warriors want to complete the Black Eight Miracle, the first task is to get used to this defensive intensity! Barkley looked at the statistics of this game, and there may be only Yiyang in this league who can limit Curry to this.

On the other side, Clay. Thompson's 35 percent shooting percentage is also very unsatisfactory. Bump into Tony. Aaron, count Thompson unlucky.

The poor play of the Warriors' two leading guards was the main reason for the Warriors' loss. Therefore, after the game, there were also many reporters who asked Mark. Jackson: "How will you deal with the Mavericks' defense for the rest of the series?" ”

Mark. Jackson blinked and stared blankly at the camera, he couldn't answer!

Nonsense, if a coach can figure out tactics against the Mavericks' defense in just a few tens of seconds, the Mavericks' defense won't be so difficult.

"We'll have to be more patient and find space to make a move, that's all." Mark. Jackson eventually had to be perfunctory, and if he didn't say something, the reporter wouldn't give up.

"That is, you don't have a good idea, do you?" As everyone knows, a local reporter in Dallas with a straightforward personality directly pointed out Mark Brown. Jackson's embarrassment.

Mark. Jackson looked at the reporter, said nothing, and fled the scene in disarray.

The local reporters in Dallas shook their heads, they really couldn't understand where the others got the confidence before the game started, thinking that the Warriors could create the "Black Eight Miracle".

Yiyang had 34 points, 10 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks, and Nowitzki had 26 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Iguodala had 18 points and 3 steals, and Darren was off the bench. Collison and Nick. Yang also had 10 points each. Individually and collectively, the Mavericks are superior.

"After a big win in Game 1, are you still worried about the Mavericks being beaten by the Warriors?" At the press conference after the game, the topic of reporters was always inseparable from the "Black Eight".

Yiyang leaned forward expressionlessly and approached the microphone. "Miracles, only with the Dallas Mavericks."
