Chapter 300: Sweeping the Mavericks to advance
The Mavericks called out their second timeout in a while, but that obviously didn't change the reality that they had lost their good fortune. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even though the Mavericks' offense played very well in the ensuing process, they controlled the mistakes and even played some defensive counterattacks, but in the end, the victory of the game belonged to the Spurs playing at home.
This point, in fact, has been doomed from the moment Spurs did not complete the overtake. The Spurs, who had 18 turnovers in the first three quarters of the game, suddenly stopped making mistakes in the fourth quarter, but the shooting percentage remained so high, and at this time they completed the comeback, and the Mavericks really couldn't find a way to turn the situation back.
At 103:110, at the end of the game, the Spurs successfully reversed the Mavericks and won the game by 7 points, rewriting the big score to 2:0.
Li Yang and Ginobili were the heroes who completed the comeback in the fourth quarter of the game, and both of them had very good performances in this game. Li Yang scored a team-high 26 points, along with 6 rebounds, 4 assists, a steal and two blocks.
After the game, the media in San East Anio and Dallas were polarized.
In San Donigo, the media praised the Spurs' last-ditch comeback, arguing that despite the poor first three quarters, the Spurs' performance in the fourth quarter showed the qualities of a championship team - tenacity, excellent adaptability and adjustment, and determination to win.
And praise for Li Yang is naturally indispensable, after all, Li Yang is the key figure in the fourth quarter of the game Spurs can overtake, he scored 12 points in this period, and the score in the middle is almost not broken.
In contrast to the praise on San Don'anio's side, in Dallas, the media is mourning.
"We missed the best chance to take the initiative in this series, and even if we can hold on to the next two home games, when the Spurs return to their home court, the chances of us getting the edge in the series are very slim, and it's almost certain that the Spurs won't be able to make the same mistakes as this one again. ”
Both the local media in Dallas and the Mavericks fans are very sorry for the team's loss in this game, after all, the Spurs continue to make mistakes in this game, and the Mavericks have a very favorable situation in the fourth quarter.
But in the end, the Mavericks still lost, and while the Mavericks fans were sorry for the team's loss, they were also helpless for the strength of the Spurs, and for this round of the series, in fact, both the local media in Dallas and the Mavericks fans were not very hopeful, although the Mavericks have not returned to the home game.
However, the Mavericks didn't seem to be too affected by the outside world, and in the third game of the first round, the two teams came to the home court of the Dallas Mavericks, and the Mavericks who returned to their home court performed very differently from the previous two games.
In the first game, the Mavericks did not have much resistance throughout the whole game, and were pressed by the Spurs and finally lost. In the second game, although the Mavericks played a stalemate with the Spurs in the first two quarters, and even had a double-digit lead after the third quarter, it was more because of the Spurs' mistakes.
But back in the third game at home, when the Spurs did not make a mistake and played very seriously throughout the game, the Mavericks were still inseparable from the Spurs, and I have to say that none of the teams that entered the playoffs were weak.
In this game, the Mavericks were 34 points in the first quarter of the game by the Spurs and trailed by 7 points, in the second quarter of the game, they relied on excellent offense and defense, played a score of 20:32 in a single quarter, and led by 5 points after halftime.
In the second half of the game, the Mavericks did not fall into the supplement, but played an extremely stalemate with the Spurs, withstood the Spurs' counterattack in the third quarter, and played with the Spurs until the end in the fourth quarter.
It wasn't until the final minute of the game that a three-pointer from Ginobili gave the Spurs a three-point lead, and then the Spurs relied on excellent defense to limit the Mavericks' offense, and the two teams were separated.
At 109:104, the Spurs won the game with a 5-point advantage, rewriting the overall score to 3:0 and achieving match point.
The score became 3:0, and everyone knew that this series was actually close to the end, and in front of the absolute strength of the Spurs, although the Mavericks had played very well, they had no chance of winning.
In the fourth game, the two teams were still playing at the Mavericks' home court, and the Spurs had a thought before the game, that is, they didn't want to bring the game back to San Toonio, so from the beginning of the game, the Spurs played very strong and focused.
The half-quarter game went on an 18-7 run, and after the first quarter, the Spurs led by 12 points at 35-23.
After the start of the second quarter, Li Yang and Ginobili continued to widen the gap with the bench lineup, and just three minutes after the second quarter, the Spurs rewrote the score to 46:25, and the difference between the two teams widened to 21 points.
At the end of the first half, the score of the two teams was 69:45, and the difference reached 24 points.
The big score is 3:0, and the Spurs have led by 24 points at halftime, and the suspense has basically been lost in the second half, especially in the third quarter of the game, after the Spurs played 26:22, widening the difference between the two sides to 28 points, and the game has completely entered garbage time.
In the final quarter of the game, the main players of both sides almost did not play, and in the end, the Spurs won 121-95 and eliminated the Mavericks 4-0 to advance to the second round, which is also the third consecutive year that the Spurs have swept their opponents in the first round to advance.
On the same day, the Heat in the East also eliminated the Hornets 4-0 to advance to the second round, and last season's two Finals teams showed very good form in the first round.
After eliminating the Mavericks, the Spurs can rest for a few days and wait for the final results of the Rockets-Trail Blazers game to determine who will play in the second round.
For Li Yang, the bad news is that Inia needs to postpone her arrival in San Donio for another half a month due to some things, which almost makes his good mood to advance to the second round disappear.
Fortunately, Inia comforted Li Yang on the phone, and promised Li Yang to meet some of his excessive requests after coming to San Donio, which made Li Yang's mood better.
Entering May, the playoffs continued to be in full swing, and the first round of playoffs also had results, and at this time, the selection of the best sixth man that Li Yang was very concerned about finally had results.
