There was still no smile on Zhou Yang's face, and he was already worried about the second match.

"Thank you, the Mavericks played well today, thank them for bringing a great game to Golden State."

The female reporter saw it, and Zhou Yang still had palpitations.

"It's really exciting, and this is the first game of the series, so it's going to be a tough one."

Zhou Yang nodded vigorously: "The Mavericks are very strong, far beyond your imagination!" ”

Generally speaking, during the series between the two sides, it is rare for the star to openly admit in an interview that the opponent is strong.

If it's the end of the series, then there's nothing wrong with boasting about the other side.

"Okay, then good luck to keep your home stadium."

"We'll try."

……

After the first game was played, the media also gave the Mavericks enough respect.

"The Warriors have encountered stubborn resistance at home, and the Mavericks have shown great strength!" 》

"Nowitzki failed to kill and lost a good game!" 》

"The warriors have encountered their first powerful challenge on the way to the championship! 》

"The two teams that swept their opponents in the first round are evenly matched! 》

……

In the second game, Curry did not recover from a wrist injury and was out for one game, and the rest of the Warriors players were not in good shape.

Although Zhou Yang scored 53 points again, the team still lost the second home game with a score of 106:112.

The big score came to 1:1!

The Warriors' home-court advantage was snatched away, and the situation took a subtle turn.

Zhou Yang packed his luggage and prepared to go to Dallas away.

Li Yun'er could see that Zhou Yang was in a bad mood, so she didn't mess around and didn't want to go with her.

"Second Brother Yang, come on, you can play with peace of mind, I'll go back to the country for a few days and do something."

Zhou Yang hugged her over and gently stroked Li Yun'er's back: "Be careful when you go back, I will miss you." ”

"Hmm...... I'd like to have another ten minutes......"

After speaking, Lin Yun'er blushed and buried her head in Zhou Yang's arms.

Zhou Yang laughed, picked up Lin Yun'er, and rushed to the bedroom......

……

Two days later, the American Airlines Center Arena in Dallas.

The trilogy battle between the Mavericks and the Warriors begins.

This playoff matchup has become the game that fans pay the most attention to.

Before this game, a Mavericks reporter suddenly broke the news that Nowitzki had a bad cold.

The team doctor originally suggested a truce, but King Nuo gritted his teeth and still insisted on playing.

After Zhou Yang heard the news, he chuckled in his heart.

He clearly remembers that in the 11 years of finals before the crossing, Nowitzki suffered from a bad cold and won the game.

Don't......

It's scary to think about!

……

The Mavericks' starting lineup is Nowitzki, Kidd, Haywood, Butler and Marion.

The Warriors' starting five are Zhou Yang, Curry, Chandler, Barbosa and Turkoglou.

Curry recovered from his injury in the second game and has now recovered.

But what exactly is the state is still unknown.

Jumping the ball in the middle circle, Chandler grabbed the first wave of possession for the Warriors.

Zhou Yang held the ball in the backcourt and slowly pushed forward, he wanted to see the Mavericks' defensive strategy.

Sure enough, Marion and Butler were near the middle line, eyeing each other, still waiting for Zhou Yang with a fierce bag.

Zhou Yang passed the ball to Tekoglu and walked to the sideline himself.

Seeing that Barbosa was empty, Tekoglu immediately passed it.

4 to 3, Barbosa resolutely shot!

Boom!

It's a pity that the iron was struck.

Zhou Yang wanted to grab the frontcourt board, but Nowitzki took the lead and got the rebound.

The old driver did not look good, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.

Kidd received the pass and advanced quickly, the Warriors returned quickly, and the Mavericks fell into positional battles.

Nowitzki took advantage of Haywood's cover and ran to a 45-degree angle on the right, and Kidd immediately passed.

Despite Tekoglu's efforts to make up for it, the veteran driver hit a three-pointer with precision.

3:0！

Despite suffering from a severe cold, Nowitzki kept his hot hand!

After the goal, Nowitzki covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lightly, which showed that his cold was indeed quite serious.

Zhou Yang was shocked in his heart, could this buff really be a spirit?

In the next round, Zhou Yang passed to Tekoglu again, and at the same time he and Curry crossed the run.

The Splash Brothers' cross-movement is a must, and they can often disrupt the opponent's perimeter defense.

Sure enough, the two ran to each other face to face, then turned in a circle, and suddenly separated, and Marion was blinded.

He bumped into Kidd, and Zhou Yang took the opportunity to receive a pass from Tekoglu and made a three-point shot!

Boom!

Strike iron again!

It's really evil......

Chandler struggled for the rebound, but the referee's whistle blew and he was fouled.

The Warriors are out of the game.

Old Nelson shook his head slightly.

As an experienced coach, he had a hunch that something was wrong today.

Some games are awkward from the beginning, and the coach has a hunch.

For example, the Bulls played a 72-win season in '96 and lost a few games, and that's it.

Such a powerful bull, such a powerful Jordan, seems to have been lowered in the game, and his hand feels cold.

But as a professional player, you still have to fight.

Nelson Sr. cheered his players on the sidelines with loud encouragement.

Mavericks offense.

The ball was passed to Nowitzki again.

Curry was close to Nowitzki and wanted to go to the defense, but the driver had a good vision and quickly passed the ball to Kidd.

Kidd had a big vacancy, Curry was startled, and then went to help defend, it was too late, and the old Kidd made a three-point shot!

Swish!

It feels amazing!

6:0！

The Mavericks got off to a dream start.

On the Warriors' side, they missed two shots.

Zhou Yang shook his head helplessly.

In this series, Kidd didn't shoot much, but he hit the first shot today.

It shows that the Mavericks are in great shape overall.

It's hard to straighten.

In the next few rounds, Zhou Yang changed his strategy, he called his teammates and increased the breakthrough.

However, the Warriors' breakthrough efficiency was not high, Curry's breakthrough was broken, and Barbossa's lightning breakthrough also made a mistake.

On the Mavericks' side, they are playing more and more smoothly.

Nowitzki, in particular, was pale, coughed incessantly, and was able to hit consecutive three-pointers.

It's really evil.

Mavericks owner Cuban was so happy today, he was dancing on the sidelines, more excited than the fans.

The home fans cheered loudly, they wanted to win the first home court and lead the Warriors by a big score!

After 5 minutes and 26 seconds in the first quarter, the score came to 14:7, and the Mavericks took the lead.

Enter the official timeout.

The Warriors players walked to the sideline dejectedly.

Nelson Sr. didn't scold the players, he stood on the sidelines, high-fived and encouraged every player.

Zhou Yang blamed himself very much, he shot twice just now, but he didn't hit.

"Brothers, after the timeout, let's try to play as simple as possible, and shoot quickly after covering, without looking for me and Curry."

Zhou Yang could see that his teammates were a little unconfident, so he wanted to emphasize it.

Barbossa, in particular, didn't score the first goal, and then he didn't dare to shoot.
