April 25th. American Airlines Center.

The current game between the Mavericks and Spurs is 2-1.

Today is the 4th match for both teams.

The Mavericks continued to use the tactics of the previous game, sending Wang Dachun to start.

Today's tactics were a slight failure, though.

In the first quarter of the game, Tony Parker played very tough, and continued to hit the inside, and Wang Dachun was fouled twice in a row.

And Duncan also stepped up his defense, and Nowitzki didn't get a shot for the entire quarter.

Fortunately, the Spurs' outside line didn't feel good today, and they hit the iron continuously. The Mavericks held the score steady through back-to-back three-pointers from Kidd and Terry.

At the end of Game 1, the score was 29:32, and the Mavericks took the lead for the time being.

Wang Dachun was affected by fouls in this game and only got 0 points and 4 rebounds. The biggest contribution was for Matt Bonner to not score a point or grab a rebound.

2nd quarter game.

Tony Parker's offense was even more rapid than in the first quarter! Even Wang Dachun was already very careful in defense, but he was still fouled once.

Wang Dachun is also a little convinced, today Tony Parker is spinning around on the inside like a spinning top, as long as he is a little slower in defense, Tony Parker can pick up the basket and score.

Head coach Carlisle saw that Wang Dachun had committed 3 fouls, so he quickly replaced Wang Dachun and replaced him with Dampier on the field. Wang Dachun is still of great use in the back, and he doesn't dare to let this guy foul too many times.

After Dampier came on the court, the Mavericks' interior rim not only began to fade, but also allowed Matt Bonner, who currently has no stats, to open the spot. Hit two three-pointers in a row.

The Mavericks' all-out shooting percentage also began to plummet, scoring a total of 19 points on 4-of-17 shooting and free throws in the entire second quarter.

And Wang Dachun's downplay also saw a sharp increase in the Spurs' outside shooting rate. A total of 26 points were scored.

Tony Parker scored 18 points in a single quarter, and Duncan only took one shot but scored six points. He drew one foul each for Dampier and Nowitzki.

At the end of the first half, the score was 45-41, with the Mavericks trailing by four points.

After the intermission.

The third quarter begins.

Coach Carlisle opened the second half and was not in a hurry to replace Wang Dachun. He was afraid that Wang Dachun would not be able to control his foul again.

But three minutes into the game. Wang Dachun had to replace Dampier on the field.

Dampier in just three minutes. He was fouled three times by Duncan and has now committed four fouls.

After Wang Dachun came on the court, the level of defense went up.

But the Mavericks' offensive efficiency began to decrease, but fortunately, Josh Howard, who was on the outside, finally opened up, shooting 4-of-7 from 3-point range and 2-of-3 from 3-point range, and made Duncan two fouls in a row to score 14 points.

As Wang Dachun continued to make up for defense on the court, the Spurs' shooting rate also began to decline significantly.

He hit 5 of 19 shots in the third quarter and scored just 16 points in the entire quarter.

In the third quarter of the game played the Spurs 16-29.

The score became 71:80. The Mavericks led by nine points and overtook the score in one fell swoop.

4th quarter game. Tony Parker was ready to fight one last time, still attacking the interior.

Duncan also began to desperately fight for rebounds on the inside.

The Mavericks also tried their best to defend the 9 points in the end, not allowing the Spurs to close the score.

The final score of the two teams was 99-90, and the Dallas Mavericks won Game 4 of the first round.

The Mavericks flew back to the Spurs' home court today.

This game is a matchpoint battle for the Mavericks, a life-and-death battle for the Spurs.

From the cheering voices of the Spurs fans at the scene, you can see the criticality of this game.

The Mavericks moved Wang Dachun back to the bench today, putting Dampier back in the starting lineup.

The purpose is to let Dampier pester Duncan and create offensive space for Nowitzki when attacking, and in the last game, Nowitzki's offensive space was basically compressed by Duncan and did not have a few chances to shoot.

The game begins.

The two teams bit the score very tightly from the first quarter, and both sides did not make any personnel changes until the end of the first half.

Dampier was not as effective defensively on the pitch as he did a good one, with Nowitzki hitting five of his 10 shots in the first half.

At the end of the first half, the score was 52:48. The Mavericks take the lead for the time being.

At the beginning of the second half, Coach Carlisle sent Wang Dachun on the field.

Wang Dachun still went to defend Duncan on the inside, and at the same time limited Tony Parker's scoring on the inside.

Duncan and Parker's offense today is a bit unfatal, the offense is extremely firm, and it may be the last game, and they want to fight again.

In the first half, Dampier couldn't defend Duncan at all. Duncan made a total of 10 shots in the first half, but hit a staggering nine to score 19 points. There was also a foul on Nowitzki, who assisted in the defense.

After Wang Dachun came on the court, Duncan defended slightly better than Dampier until the end, when Duncan hit 5 of 11 shots. Although Wang Dachun made two fouls, he only scored 11 points on 1 of 4 free throws.

The Mavericks won the game with a final score of 106-93.

Duncan scored 30 points and 8 rebounds, Tony Parker scored 26 points and 12 assists, and the two combined for 56 points, but their teammates didn't give it a try, except for the two of them who scored double-doubles, the rest of their teammates got single-digit points.
