Joe Johnson already doubted life.

The Wizards also played seven games against the Nets.

In the Nets playoffs, Joe Johnson was the best player on the team, averaging 22 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game, and his performance was as good as ever.

But what about the Big Five.

Pierce and Kevin Garnett basically played on the go, Deron Williams was not in good shape, and the team was the most consistent with Livingston.

it!

That's a bit too tricky.

Saying that he was going to win the championship with his thighs hugged, Joe Johnson found himself in the thighs of the Nets.

There is nothing more painful in the world than this.

Can you let me hug my thighs quietly?

After this match, the lineup for the second round of the East and West came out.

Westward:

Mavericks vs. Nuggets.

Spurs vs. Thunder.

Eastern:

Pacers vs. Wizards.

Heat vs. Raptors.

In this four-round series, perhaps the least suspenseful is the Heat vs. the Raptors, not to mention the difference in strength, the Raptors' lineup is naturally restrained by the Heat.

This round of the series is good.

Other than that, the other teams are not easy to play.

The Mavericks and Nuggets are both super strong, and last season, the Nuggets played until the Finals and almost became dark horses to win the championship.

It's not a good game.

The Spurs vs. the Thunder, on one side is the Thunder double young, on the other side is the kawaii and the old hooligan combination GDP, and after encountering it, it is indispensable to fight to the death.

Pacers vs. Wizards, soldiers vs. soldiers, generals vs. generals.

Paul George and John Wall are both rookies who have excelled offensively and defensively in recent years, and the game between the two is very interesting.

However, in terms of lineup, the Pacers have a bit of an advantage.

……

May 2nd.

In the second round of the Playoffs, the Mavericks host the Nuggets.

In this game, Nowitzki had already said before the game that he was going to play, and the Nuggets' interior Darko has grown into an interior monster in the past two seasons.

Relying on Gobert, you have to be blown up.

The game began, the two sides jumped the ball, and the Nuggets attacked for the first time.

After halftime, Tylawson gave the ball to Darko, who received the ball and hit Gobert with his back directly, Gobert's figure was still very weak and his strength was not comparable.

After a back-to-back turn, Darko went straight to the basket, and Al Jefferson fought for position under the basket, and it was too late to step forward to help the defense.

Daktronics hits easily.

The Nuggets score.

It's not a good game.

The Mavericks attacked, defending Qin Yang was Iguodala, Al Jefferson had a thick cover, Qin Yang faced Gallinari, directly forced a single, and after forcing a breakthrough, he went to the basket to use the rhythm to score a layup.

Darko didn't dare to step forward too ruthlessly.

If the Nuggets have too many fouls on Darko, the game won't be played.

Before the game, Coach Carlisle gave advice, if Darko committed many fouls in the first half, then beat him down, even if the score difference is not good.

If Darko is gone, the Nuggets won't be able to play.

The game continues.

The Nuggets, with Darko as the core, played very steadily, but the efficiency was average.

Except for Darko, the others have no absolute opposition advantage, and this year's Mavericks' lineup is defensive, with Vince Carter, Qin Yang, and Brewer partnering on the outside.

Gallinari and Iguodala couldn't find a good chance to score.

Darko can't score singles all the time.

The Nuggets couldn't find a chance.

The Mavericks don't necessarily play well, but they're solid.

The good execution of tactics is on the one hand, and the other is the good of Qin Yang's belt.

With Qin Yang here, everyone else is not panicking, it is an advantage to enter, just go in next time if you don't enter.

Anyway, it's always been ahead.

The Nuggets worked hard, but the first quarter passed and they slowly trailed.

In the second quarter, Darko was still on the court, and in four minutes, the slight lead was gone, and the Nuggets reversed the score, at this time, Nowitzki came on.

Calderon, Seth Curry, Vinvens Carter, Marion, Calderon, this lineup is full of offensive power.

Nowitzki led the bench as the centerpiece.

As soon as Nowitzki was on the court, the Nuggets' defense changed instantly, and on the first ball, Nowitzki took the ball in the high post, and Darko had to step forward to defend.

Dirk passes to Seth Curry, who lays up and passes to Marion in the open space, who scores an easy layup.

The Mavericks' passing and cutting work together very well.

When a player has an absolute opposition advantage, it is easy for the predecessors to play and cooperate, and the Nuggets defense is not bad, but at this time, they can only watch the Mavericks score.

The Nuggets are not without the ability to fight back.

While Seth Curry and Calderon were on the court, the Mavericks had problems with their outside defense, and Iguodala, Gallinari, Tylawson and others could find opportunities.

In the second quarter, the two teams played hotly.

But in the third quarter, when Darko went off the court, the Nuggets couldn't stand it, and a wave flowed down, and the Nuggets trailed by 8 points.

After a six-minute break in the third quarter, Darko came back on the court.

Darko and Iguodala are inside and outside, and they don't dare to rest at all, and as soon as they rest, the Nuggets can't stand it.

Other players, such as Gallinari, are limited in what they can do on the defensive end.

In the fourth quarter, the two teams began the final battle.

The difference is not big, and there is still a section in time.

That's when the superstars will be tested.

At the critical moment, Qin Yang was not intimidated, and when he came up, he shot consecutive three-pointers after covering, and the three-point shooting rate of 3 of 4 hit the Nuggets called a timeout.

After the game resumed, Qin Yang played without the ball and gave his teammates a chance.

Vince Carter, Nowitzki, Marion all got their chances.

The margin was slowly widening, and even the Tunnels were scoring, but to no avail, and the first game ended at the American Airlines Center, the home of Dallas.

The Mavericks won the game 118-106 at home.

With the win in the first game, the Mavericks players were happy, and the Nuggets didn't seem as strong as they looked. Nowitzki didn't play well in this game, 4 of 12, 9 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, decent data, and the shooting rate was not high.

The Mavericks played very consistently and well, winning the game.

The post-match press conference was dull.

Dakomilisic looked serious:

'Maybe it will disappoint the fans, but we didn't do well enough, and in the next game we need to play more aggressively and be more attentive defensively.'

Andre Iguodala: "Bruce is the hardest of all the superstars to defend, and with him, you get a sense of a lot and we have a lot of room for improvement. ”

The Nuggets didn't play well in this game.

The role players didn't step up at all, and the Nuggets spent too much energy to contain Qin Yang and Nowitzki, and it was clear that the Nuggets' strategy was wrong.

Qin Yang is as good as ever to accumulate character:

"We had better luck and made more shots, and that's it, the Nuggets are an uneasy opponent to beat, and hopefully in the next game, we'll have good luck."

Don't wave when you win, hold steady to win.

But the Mavericks clearly didn't hold their nerve and were caught off guard in Game 2 after taking a 1-0 lead.
