Carlisle looked at his players, Nowitzki and Kidd were already gasping, the two of them were really exhausted, and playing against the Warriors, the best kid in the league, was indeed enough for them. Carlisle simply replaced Kidd and Nowitzki, and all substitutes were replaced.

Seeing this situation, Nelson naturally replaced Lin Fei, as the saying goes, killing chickens with a knife, for a group of substitute players, Nelson naturally has no need to send his strongest lineup.

The Mavericks' bench lineup is led by Marion, Barnia, and Haywood, which is also known as the strongest bench depth in the league, while the Warriors sent point guard Smith, bench lineup Jock, etc.

On paper, the Warriors actually suffered a loss, because the Mavericks still retained starters like Marion and Barnia, and the Warriors were almost all bench players. Although the Warriors' bench is also passionate, and they are all able to continue the Warriors' fast-break tactics, the same tactics are executed by different players, and the effect will be more or less different. At the same time, the Mavericks' bench lineup is actually faster than their starting lineup, which is actually quite advantageous for the defensive Warriors.

The Mavericks' Bargna has the ball and breaks quickly, Marion gets the ball in the low post, Marion was once a well-known all-around player in the league, especially able to defend several positions on the court, and sometimes even against a player of James's level, Marion will not suffer. Marion backs the single, takes a big stride, turns, fronts the basket, throws and hits. The players on the Mavericks bench all stood up and applauded.

The Mavericks narrowed the score to eight points, and it can be said that this is still within the safe margin of points.

Warriors Smith fast break, when dribbling to the halfway, pass the ball to his teammates, teammates receive the ball, seem to be very hesitant, after all, he is a substitute player, almost can't find his direction, after hesitation, he still passed the ball back to Smith, Smith received the ball, at the three-point line, he didn't hesitate to shoot, the whole offensive time is less than 10 seconds, Smith threw the ball felt similar to Lin Fei with 9 points, the arc of the ball was very high, hitting the basket.

Just looking at the arc, you can very much determine whether this is the ball thrown by Lin Fei or Smith's, even very professional people are difficult to see, but today people find that there is a player who is so similar to Lin Fei, Smith, Lin Fei's teammate, the third point guard of the Warriors, maybe Lin Fei's influence on Smith is subtle, and Smith is constantly trying to learn Lin Fei's playing style in private.

It was the Warriors' turn to party, and both Lin Fei and Curry jumped off the bench.

Then the Mavericks hit again, Smith assisted again, and then Smith hit another three-pointer from the top of the arc.

This inevitably brings to mind a topic, the problem of the Warriors' point guards. Because of Lin Fei, Curry, and Keynes on the front guard line of Nelson, this is almost known as one of the best guard lines in the league, and now people see the madness of the fourth person on the guard line, some people may think that Smith is a flash of inspiration, but imagine that Lin Fei's outburst was not born from the "flash of inspiration" that scored 28 points in 3 minutes? If Smith does break out, the Warriors have such a luxurious lineup on the defensive line, but Lin Fei and Smith's styles seem to be very similar. Today's Warriors are more powerful than ever, but Warriors' management has to think about wages. Lin Fei has tens of millions of contracts, Jobs, Clauderson, Ax, and Curry are all middle-class contracts close to tens of millions, and it seems that it is difficult for the Warriors owner to pay such a salary under such pressure. Besides, Lin Fei and Curry's contracts expire next year, will the Warriors management try to trade? Of course, that may be an afterthought, but now the Warriors are facing the playoffs in front of them.

At the same time, people have to admire Nelson for being able to tune up these top point guards. Hehe, maybe Nelson couldn't figure out what was going on, but he could only say that Lin Fei's outburst at that time made his eyes light up, and at the same time, he couldn't wait to slap his mouth, and now Smith's outburst, Nelson's eyes also widened.

In the last three back and forth attacks, he actually shot two three-pointers and also assisted once. That kind of efficiency may be enough for a top point guard.

The Warriors and Mavericks game kicked off again.

Carlisle really calmed down, the Mavericks were more than a dozen points behind, and they still didn't send their main players.

Of course, under the impact of Smith, the Warriors' offense can't see the difference between the Warriors' bench players and the Mavericks' books, but they still have a lot of advantages.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Nelson had not even sent his main players, and this arrangement made many people present wonder what kind of medicine this guy was selling in his gourd.

Of course, since Carlisle is not in a hurry, Nelson is naturally more leisurely, although these substitutes of the Warriors did not continue to stretch the score to 20 points, but the situation on the court is that the Warriors have an absolute advantage.

Four minutes passed in the third quarter. Carlisle pauses! Replaced his own bench lineup and officially replaced his absolute main players Nowitzki and Kidd.

The Warriors sent Lin Fei, but they did not replace Smith, and they still formed a lineup of two point guards, but at this time it could only be Lin Fei and Smith, two point guards with similar styles.

The Warriors are still that fast.

Smith controlled the ball to the middle line, Lin Fei ran past Smith, the two played a magic trick, Lin Fei received the ball, the two ran to the three-point line at the same time, Lin Fei hit the ball to Smith with a crotch, Smith turned around behind him, played a streetball-like change of direction, and passed back to Lin Fei, Lin Fei ran over, the two came to a cross again, after the cross, Lin Fei immediately retreated, and then hit a stop-and-go jump shot. Now people see the difference, the kind of ball-holding that Lin Fei is good at, individual offense, while Smith relies more on the cover of the players. In fact, the ball just now, Lin Fei and Smith are playing that both of them can shoot three points, and no one knows which of them can shoot, especially Lin Fei, who can shoot almost casually with a little gap, many times he himself is enough, and now with the cooperation with Smith, it is simply a bug.

The two actually relied on this trick to shoot 4 of 7 three-pointers. Straight to the score and the Mavericks.

By the end of the third quarter, the margin was nearly 20 points.

Carlisle actually replaced Nowitzki, Kidd, Chandler, and Marion, and seemed to have given up resistance.

Others may not understand, but Nelson understands Carlisle's intentions. In this game, he fought with the Warriors to the end, so it was better to save some physical strength and have a life-and-death battle with the Warriors in the next game. Because the playoffs are 7 games, the Mavericks are currently leading 3:1, and even if they lose one more game, it will be 3:2. Just one more win and they'll be enough.

The fourth Nielsen made Lin Fei comfortable to take the bench to enjoy the game. In the end, the Warriors defeated the Mavericks 136-102. Smith played 30 minutes and scored 20 points and four assists, which was eye-catching. And Lin Fei scored "only" 16 points.

The score is 3:2. But the next game is the Warriors' home court, which has broken the crazy clamor that the Mavericks are not returning to the Warriors' home court.

Now the Warriors are starting to get nervous, they want to make it through the second round so much, and now they are so close.
