With the concerted efforts of the Splash Brothers, the score difference slowly narrowed.

With 1 minute and 13 seconds left in the second quarter, the two sides were tied again!

67:67！

Neither coach called a timeout, they both figured it out.

It seems that it is impossible to open the score, and it will be clear in the second half.

In the remaining 1 minute or so, the shooting rate of both sides dropped sharply, and neither side scored.

The main reason is that the physical exertion of the players on both sides is too great, and the movements are a little deformed.

At the end of the first half, the score was still 67 draws! It's so intense.

In the T-NT live room, Barkley, Smith, and Reggie Miller are commentating on the game.

"I didn't expect the Mavericks to be so strong? When I looked at the pre-game predictions, no one took the Mavericks seriously! ”

Barkley always dares to tell the truth, and I don't know how many media people have been slapped in the face with this sentence.

"Indeed, it is rare to see the Warriors being forced to this role, under normal circumstances, as soon as Zhou Yang exerts his strength, the score will be opened."

"I thought the Warriors would only encounter real resistance when they reached the Western Finals."

"Nowitzki is not old, he wants to prove himself this year, after all, he is 33 years old."

"From the perspective of team configuration, the Mavericks are more reasonable, and the Warriors are still weak inside."

"There's already a splash brother, what else do you want, you can't be too greedy."

"That being said, but you have to know that the Splash Brothers are still rookie contracts, and the Warriors have the hope of taking a bite of the rookie bonus."

"Chandler is not bad, the best blue-collar worker, if you really have a technical center, then the ball will not be easy to score."

……

Judging from the analysis of the media, it is still biased towards the Warriors to win.

But the Mavericks will never say defeat lightly, Nowitzki is the existence of the German god of war this year!

……

Warriors locker room.

Zhou Yang saw that his teammates were silent and didn't speak, so he knew that they were all nervous.

He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Let's fight one more quarter, as long as the third quarter is over, we are not pulled away, and the fourth quarter is our world!" ”

Although there is no theoretical basis for what he said, his teammates still felt a lot more relieved after hearing it.

If someone else said this, everyone felt that it was comforting, but when Zhou Yang said this, everyone's confidence doubled.

Because Zhou Yang turned the tide in the fourth quarter, there were too many games.

Even at the All-Star Game, it was able to take over the game in the fourth quarter.

This is the art of language, Zhou Yang narrowed the length of the second half of the struggle to one section, and the players obviously felt much more relaxed.

"Okay, Second Brother Yang, then let's fight one section and fight to the death! It's up to you! Barbossa said with a smile.

Chandler also smiled and said, "Okay, I promise that in this quarter, I will grab at least 8 rebounds, fuck it!" ”

Curry also clenched his fists: "Let's let them see, what is Yongsan crazy!" ”

The dull locker room instantly became active because of Zhou Yang's words.

……

The second half began.

The Warriors players are all desperate as if they are playing the last critical moment, and even as soon as they come up, they are all pressed on the court!

This time, the Mavericks were completely blinded.

The Mavericks made two mistakes in the opening game, and the Warriors successfully counterattacked, extending the lead to four points in one fell swoop.

Carlisle was so angry that he yelled loudly on the sidelines to keep the Mavericks focused!

However, the Warriors have already played with momentum.

Although Nowitzki responded with a three-pointer, Zhou Yang ran without the ball again, shook off the defender, received Curry's pass, and scored 2 points on a jumper.

Then the Warriors cut Butler's ball through quick defense and passed it to Curry.

Curry chased three points to reappear in the rivers and lakes, huh!

Yongsan Crazy is really here!

At this point, the third quarter had just been played for more than a minute.

Carlisle couldn't stand it, he didn't want to be beaten in the third quarter, so he quickly called a short timeout early.

A huge wave erupted from the Golden State Oracle Arena, and Warriors fans shouted excitedly.

Maybe the first half was suppressed for too long, so this wave of flow came out, and everyone seemed to have moved the stones in their chests, and their breathing was much smoother all of a sudden.

Zhou Yang was not careless, while encouraging his teammates, he was also reminding everyone that the Mavericks would definitely fight back.

Sure enough, after the timeout, the Mavericks stepped up their defense.

At the same time, Nowitzki took the initiative to mention outside the three-point line, catch the ball in advance, and shoot at any time!

It worked, and the Warriors' defense became a dilemma.

The inside line doesn't dare to come out, but the outside line is not tall enough.

Nowitzki hit two three-pointers in a row to close the gap to one point.

Old Nelson shook his head lightly on the sidelines, he didn't expect the 33-year-old Nowitzki to be so hard!

While Zhou Yang was shocked, he did not panic, he continued to encourage his teammates and increase his defense.

At the same time, he also gambled on defense and let Nowitzki continue to shoot!

The Warriors held their ground, and Nowitzki's next shot was missed.

Zhou Yang took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, flew and dunked, and once again detonated the audience.

The rest of the Mavericks stepped up and Butler scored just seven points today, which isn't the point a second-in-command deserves.

When Nowitzki was not feeling good, Butler frequently hit the penalty area and made shots in the middle.

Butler's pull-up jumper has a very good rhythm and is difficult to defend.

Zhou Yang assisted in defense twice, but he didn't cover him, and he also paid a foul.

Butler's outburst relieved Nowitzki's pressure.

The two sides went back and forth, the game was very stale, and it returned to the state of suffocation in the first half.

Warriors fans are out of breath again......

The game passed by second by second.

The Warriors have maintained a slight lead, but they can't close the difference.

With 8:51 left left in the third quarter, the score came to 85:83 and the Warriors led by two points.

The physical exertion of the main players on both sides was very high, and Nowitzki was obviously a little unable to run.

Zhou Yang's physical strength is okay, but his speed is also a little slow.

Old Nelson didn't call a timeout, he was a little bad, just waiting for Carlisle.

Anyway, Nowitzki is already 33, and Carlisle will definitely call a timeout first.

The Mavericks called a timeout than the Warriors, and Carlisle was still hesitating.

Seeing that the Warriors still didn't call a timeout, he had to call a timeout in advance.

The playoffs are not only about the performance of the players on the court, but also about the details.

For example, at the end of the day, there are many timeouts that can decide the direction of the game.

During the timeout, Zhou Yang said to Nelson Sr.: "I'll rest for a while, and then I'll play at the beginning of the fourth quarter." ”

Old Nelson understands that Zhou Yang wants to take advantage of Nowitzki to go down and rest for a while, and then Zhou Yang is estimated to be full in the fourth quarter.
