The Mavericks rallied back and the shape on the court was not good for the Warriors, and Nelson Jr. said with some concern: "The Dallas people have changed a lot, I think we should call a timeout, if we still look at them from the same perspective as before, then there will be problems in the end." ”

Old Nelson smiled contemptuously, played nearly half the game, and the old coach never stood up, and sat on the bench to watch the game leisurely.

Little Nelson saw that his father ignored him, so he pulled the old handsome and said anxiously: "We need to change our tactics......"

The old man frowned, looked at little Nelson and said, "Calm down, OK?" As a coach, you have to be calm no matter what you do on the field, how many times have I taught you? And, why do we change tactics? Their core has been locked, and we have won! ”

Indeed, the Warriors did not need a timeout, and the players on the court themselves adjusted their tactics and started defending.

The Mavericks then failed to make several tentative offensive attempts, and the two teams were locked for nearly three minutes, and with 2:35 left in the quarter, Carter, who had just come on the court, scored a layup and drew a foul on Chandler, scoring three points with free throws, and the Warriors took a 37-36 lead.

The Warriors began to gradually put away their defensive strength, and they slowly stepped up their offense, with Chamberlain and West hitting back-to-back shots to keep three in the quarter. With eight seconds left, Carter hit a three-pointer to give the Warriors a 47-40 lead.

In the final moments, the Mavericks called a timeout, and Nowitzki finally exploded, and after his return, he suddenly forced a foul on Evans, so he hit two free throws and the Warriors closed the deficit to five points.

The two teams are very familiar with each other, Carlisle is worthy of the shadow of a famous coach, after he joined the Mavericks, he has changed the style of this team a lot, especially after getting Kidd and Chandler, although the Mavericks have Nowitzki as the core, they do not rely only on Nowitzki as before.

So, even if the German tank didn't play well today, the Mavericks still bit the score.

In the second half of the third quarter, Kidd frequently passed the ball to his teammates, and Haywood, who came off the bench, scored a dunk under the basket, and Terry hit two shots, and the Mavericks doubled the score.

However, the Warriors responded with three-pointers, with Curry hitting two three-pointers to keep the Warriors in the lead. With 3:20 left in the quarter, Chamberlain blocked Haywood's basket shot, Curry launched a fast break with the ball, and Chamberlain followed closely behind.

Near the basket, Curry, who was entangled by Kidd, passed the ball to Chamberlain, who turned past Marion and finished with a dunk to give the Warriors a 66-62 lead.

After that, the two sides started a defensive battle again, and the score could not be pulled away, and the third quarter ended, and the Warriors took a 72-67 advantage.

In the fourth quarter, the performance of both sides was still tepid, both of them were old teams in the playoffs, and they all knew that a stable defense could hold the final victory, and no one dared to rush forward lightly, because once the opponent grabbed the loophole, it was likely to collapse in a short time.

With 7:10 left in the game, Nowitzki drew another foul on Evans, and he hit two free throws to tie the score at 80-80.

The Warriors didn't give them a chance to overtake, and Chamberlain, who had been concentrating on defense, suddenly switched to the offensive end, broke through Heywood under the basket and immediately shot, announcing his attitude of taking over the game with a 2+1.

After that, Chamberlain hit a high jump shot, covered Carter's breakthrough and caught the ball and dunked, with 5 minutes and 46 seconds left in the quarter, after Carter missed, Chamberlain jumped up directly, grabbed the rebound in the air and dunked it, and scored a foul at the same time as Chandler, and scored 3 points with a dunk and free throws.

Chamberlain's performance was not over, and then Chandler was fouled again by a strong shot under the basket, and he hit two free throws, followed by a mid-range shot, and the Warriors went on a 12-0 run to take a 92-80 advantage at such a critical moment.

The Mavericks were forced to call two timeouts in a minute, but they couldn't stop the Warriors' offense, and Carter then made one of two free throws to extend the advantage to 13 points.

With 3:20 left in the game, the Mavericks hit a shot from Nowitzki, their first score in nearly four minutes.

With one minute left in the game, the Mavericks relied on two ghostly steals from Kidd to fight back and close the gap to single digits.

After chasing the score to 91-99, the Mavericks have run out of skills, the Warriors are steady, Chamberlain attracted the bag and then distributed the ball to Ibaka, who received the ball on the wing, and Ibaka's mid-range shot made a meritorious contribution and hit it directly, once again extending the score advantage to double digits.

The Mavericks were hell-bent on a counterattack when it rained overnight, but Chandler ate a dribble on the offensive end, and the Warriors seized the opportunity to hit a hook shot from Chamberlain.

In the last 30 seconds, the Warriors' lead reached 12 points, and Carlisle knew that the tide was turning, so he simply replaced the main team and conceded defeat early.

In the end, the game ended, and the Warriors won by 11 points at 106-95 and won the opening ceremony of the Western Conference Finals.

At the post-game press conference, Nowitzki and Carlisle looked solemn and indeed looked like a playoff team, while Chamberlain and Nelson Sr. were much more relaxed, and they were hooked shoulders and biting their ears and laughing when they entered, looking like they were enjoying the holiday rather than playing the playoffs.

After all, he was a disciple who was trained by himself, and the old Nelson was still very talented for German tanks, so he went up and gave Nowitzki a comforting hug and said: "Dirk, come on, you guys have had a great season, it's not easy, I know, it's not easy." ”

Chamberlain shook hands amicably with Carlisle, who whispered, "Boy, our boss asked me to tell you - are you interested in transferring?" ”

Chamberlain couldn't help but laugh, and Carlyle grimaced, "Listen to me, young man, I don't want to tempt you with salary, status, power and the like, in fact that's the most stupid." Still, do you think it's interesting for you to stay with the Warriors? You've only been in the league for four years, but you've won two in a row! Is it still challenging for you? Don't you want to see more beautiful scenery? ”

I have to say that Carlisle can perfectly take over the mess left by the little general Johnson and quickly integrate the Mavericks into a strong team that can sweep the Lakers, there are his strengths, such as his level of speaking skills is very high, Chamberlain was really moved by him!

Yes, what Chamberlain needs now is not a top salary, not a promise of the right to sell, he wants something more exciting!

However, Chamberlain has no intention of leaving the Warriors even if he wants excitement anymore, and he is thinking that maybe, in the future, the team can change the way the team is formed.

Spurred on by this thought, Chamberlain's press conference was a bit listless, he just repeatedly stressed that 'we are going to build a dynasty this season', and did not say anything else.

After the game, he stopped old Nelson, considered the vocabulary, and said: "BOSS, is our salary level relatively high now?" ”

Old Nelson frowned and said: "It's okay, it's acceptable, although we spend enough money, we also earn a lot, and our boss can withstand it." ”

Chamberlain said: "So, do you think we can change the way of thinking about building a team in the future?" ”

"BOSS, this summer, how about you get veterans like Maddie, O'Neal, and O'Neal Jr. to our team? We made a star team from the 90s, and I can guarantee that we can still win the championship! ”

Yes, that's what Chamberlain was thinking, he wanted more excitement, and if he was surrounded by West, Curry, Carter, etc., what was the point of fighting? Wouldn't it be more interesting to gather those former All-Stars who have declined in strength and are almost retiring to their side, and play like this?

Old Nelson's brows suddenly tightened, he looked at Chamberlain, and said: "Let's save these for the summer, what you have to do now is to eliminate the Mavericks quickly, they are now the biggest stumbling block preventing us from winning the championship, I don't want any accidents." ”

Chamberlain patted his chest and said, "Look at me, there are three games left, it's OK to kill them!" ”

The schedule for the division finals is tight, and only one day later, the Warriors and Mavericks are going to play again.

The day before the two teams started, on May 19, the second game between the Heat and the Bulls started early, and the Heat beat the Bulls 85-75 on the road to tie the Eastern Conference Finals at 1-1.

In this way, the Heat grabbed home-court advantage, and they still have three home courts, and the pressure is pushed to the side of the Bulls.

In this game, LeBron James held his breath and wanted to be ashamed of the last game, but the Bulls did a good job of restricting him in the first half, relying on the fourth quarter to exert force, scoring 29 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, becoming the biggest contributor to the team's victory.

In addition, Dwyane Wade had 24 points and 9 rebounds, Chris Bosh had 10 points and 8 rebounds, and the Heat bench, who has always been used to dropping chains, finally made a splash, and Udonis Haslem did well, scoring 13 points.

Derrick Rose had 21 points, eight assists and six rebounds for the Bulls, but only shot 7-of-23, with Lore Deng scoring 13 points and Carlos Boozer having seven points and eight rebounds.

The first game was lost, but the Heat were not worried, and they have risen from setbacks many times this season, both in the regular season and in the playoffs. In the second game, the Heat played their strength, and although the overall score of the Big Three was not impressive, they did a good job on the defensive end, found the problem, and successfully locked up the core of the Bulls, Rose.

Before the Warriors kicked off, Chamberlain and others were also talking about the game, from the locker room all the way to the court.

Finally, during the warm-up, Curry made the final decision and said: "We hope that the Bulls can advance, so that as long as the mad dog can see Rose to death, then we can easily build a dynasty!" ”

West rolled his eyes and said, "Whoever it is, we build the same dynasty, Ross?" Ha, he's nothing. ”

Chamberlain patted him on the shoulder and exclaimed: "You are awesome, brother, the number two person in the MVP rankings, you are not a fart in your mouth, I like your arrogance and ignorance, keep it up, you must pretend to be forced to the end." ”

The Mavericks players were also warming up, and Kidd glanced over to the Warriors, and Chamberlain just noticed it, so he ran over and waved, "Hi, Bulls, hello." ”

Although this season's Mavericks are unprecedentedly strong, because they are all veterans, the overall temper is relatively good, there are no thorns, Chamberlain, the sworn enemy, came over, they beckoned, and then they went their separate ways.

Chamberlain was mainly looking for Kidd, he pulled the veteran to the sidelines, and said mysteriously: "Jason, you should understand the current situation, right?" ”

Kidd was puzzled and said, "What do you want to explain?" ”

Chamberlain patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't pretend, Jason, I know you really want to win a championship, but now the problem is that you can't win a championship if you stay in Dallas, so, how about it, come to our team?" This summer, come on, take a championship? ”

If it was a newcomer with a higher heart, he would definitely spit on Chamberlain, but Kidd, a veteran of the league for nearly two decades, smiled noncommittally and said, "I do want to win a championship, but I think I can get it in Dallas." ”

Chamberlain did not argue, and simply said: "Then you just wait and see, after three games, you will recognize the reality." ”
