After a timeout, the Mavericks replaced Nowitzki.

It can't be helped, the cold is really serious, and Carlisle is worried that Nowitzki will pass out on the court.

However, the other Mavericks players continue to dare to fight as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and the feeling is still hot!

On the other hand, on the Warriors' side, in addition to frequent iron strikes, there have also been repeated mistakes in cooperation.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors trailed by 12 points.

33:21.

Zhou Yang scored 8 points in the first quarter and Curry scored 6 points.

On the Mavericks' side, the whole team blossomed, and after Terry came up, he threw in two more threes, which was really godly.

Nowitzki missed the second half of the first quarter and got a lot of rest.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Mavericks bench still had the advantage, and the Warriors bench could only rely on Livingston's strong shots to maintain their offensive power.

However, Livingston's shot was also inaccurate under the defense of the Mavericks substitute Brewer.

The second quarter played more than 4 minutes, and the margin had widened to 17 points.

Old Nelson couldn't sit still.

It's okay to lose, but it's unacceptable to lose so much.

He immediately called a timeout and prepared to change to the main lineup.

Zhou Yang sat on the sidelines, even more dazed.

He didn't know why this was happening, could it really be Novitsky's buff for a bad cold?

After the pause, the main players of both sides reappeared.

Nowitzki continued his miraculous performance with a "morbid beauty".

He shot suddenly, scored 6 points in a row, and once again opened the gap to 20+.

Zhou Yang was really anxious.

He began to run frequently off the ball in an attempt to tear apart the Mavericks' defense.

But the Mavericks were so prepared that they started with a three-man wrap.

It's a complete disdain for the rest of the Warriors.

Fortunately, Curry hit a three-pointer in the big open space to bring the difference back to 18 points.

Unbeknownst to him, Maverick Butler stepped up again, responded with a three-pointer from the top arc, and once again opened the gap to 21 points.

The two sides battled it out at 20 points.

If the Warriors want to keep the suspense alive, they will have to close the gap to within 15 points in the first half.

In the small-ball era, it was relatively easy to chase a score within 15 points.

The feel came up, and Bang Bang got it in a few points.

But no matter how desperately the Warriors try, the Mavericks always respond strongly.

Old Nelson looked stupid on the sidelines.

God won't help me!

Chandler picked up a fourth foul.

Now, the Warriors are in trouble on the inside.

Zhou Yang sat on the sidelines, smiled wryly, and shook his head gently.

Could it be that in this parallel world, the Mavericks are about to create miracles again?

After the timeout, Chandler rested, Turyaf and Randolph came on, and Barbossa rested.

Nowitzki continues his magical performances.

Even though he was out of breath every time he ran, he was able to score the ball and tear through the Warriors' defense.

It's really speechless.

At halftime, the score of the two teams was 66:47, and the Mavericks led by 19 points.

In the T-NT live broadcast room, Barkley also shook his head again and again.

Now that he's a big fan of the Splash Brothers, he's predicted the Warriors winning a championship.

But seeing this game, he was greatly disappointed.

"What's going on? Didn't Nowitzki catch a cold? Could it be a smoke bomb, so good? ”

"Who's to say it wasn't, 23 points in the first half, Nowitzki was more fierce than when he didn't catch a cold."

"The Warriors are less auspicious, and the Mavericks' style of play is a bit restrained to the Warriors."

"It's a bit of a match, Nowitzki is not easy to defend, and the other players feel good, Terry, Butler, the more you play, the smoother it gets."

"Zhou Yang was caught too hard, if the others don't stand up, the game will be over."

……

In the Warriors' locker room, there was a deathly silence.

Zhou Yang didn't say anything, he was blaming himself.

It was Curry who broke the deadlock and said slowly: "Brothers, let's fight in the second half, the second brother was so fierce because we didn't give it a try." ”

Turkoglu was also frustrated, as he was another ball carrier for the Warriors, but he was too hard to be restrained by Nowitzki.

Whether it is height or speed, he has no choice but to be fooled by the old driver.

'I didn't play well today and I'll try in the second half.' Turkoglu did a self-examination.

Zhou Yang stood up and comforted everyone: "Don't be so pessimistic, this is just one of the series, you guys are too nervous, relax." ”

Chandler smiled bitterly: "I can't help but be nervous, the Mavericks defend too hard, and there is a home whistle ......"

Zhou Yang waved his hand: "Don't worry about the whistle yet, it's not something we can control." Let's just shoot the damn ball, grab the rebound, reduce the turnovers, and we'll win the game! ”

Curry nodded and agreed: "That's right, this is the Mavericks' home court, we are all mentally prepared, continue to fight!" ”

Everyone folded their hands together and shouted in unison, boosting morale!

"Warriors will win!"

"Take the Mavericks' home court!"

"Win the series!"

……

The second half began.

The Warriors' mental outlook has improved, and the players are like they are fighting very hard.

The Mavericks didn't get used to it all of a sudden, and they were chased by the Warriors for 8 points in a row.

Carlisle decisively called a timeout, he knew that the Warriors were crazy, and they must not let the Warriors get up!

Zhou Yang was very satisfied, high-fived his teammates one by one, and encouraged everyone's performance.

After the timeout, the game resumed, and Nowitzki began to wield!

He first received the ball in the bottom corner, and the golden rooster was independent and hit a three-pointer.

Then he teamed up with his teammates to cut off Turkoglu's pass and launch a counter-attack to score two points.

In the blink of an eye, the score difference was 20 points again.

The Splash Brothers of the Warriors stepped up!

The two warmed up and hit three-pointers in a row through blocking and dismantling.

With more than seven minutes played in the third quarter, the Warriors trailed by just 12 points.

Carlisle was speechless and could only call a timeout.

Nelson Sr. saw hope and shouted loudly from the sidelines, cheering on the players.

Zhou Yang had been observing Nowitzki just now and saw that he was indeed very weak.

But Nowitzki gritted his teeth and persisted.

That's willpower!

The German tank is really fierce, and with the performance of this game, it completely got rid of the nickname of "soft egg"!

At the end of the timeout, the Mavericks replaced Terry.

The Warriors also brought on Tony Allen.

Tony Allen defended well, but Terry changed a bit, taking advantage of his teammates' cover, drilling everywhere and shooting quickly.

Terry in the playoffs seems to be a different person, what a god.

When Nowitzki was tired, Terry hit back-to-back shots to open up the deficit again.

If it weren't for Zhou Yang's response with two three-pointers, the Warriors would have been completely defeated.

At the end of the third quarter, the score came to 95:81, and the Mavericks led by 14 points.

This point difference is not an exaggeration, and there is still hope for chasing points.

Zhou Yang walked up to Nelson Sr. and asked to continue playing in the fourth quarter!

Seeing Zhou Yang's resolute expression, Old Nelson couldn't bear to dispel his determination, so he nodded in agreement.
