Yiyang and Green's "fire" on social media has pushed the game to a climax before it even starts.

ESPN went live an hour and a half before the game began, starting with the scolding battle between Green and Yiyang to warm up for the game.

At the same time, the Mavericks players also came to the court early to prepare for the game. Even if Green and Yiyang didn't scold each other, even if the media didn't hype up the game, the Mavericks players would take it seriously.

Because of the Golden State Warriors, they are indeed the second team in the league at this stage after the Mavericks. 15-3, that's a leap forward for a team that was both eliminated in the first round of the playoffs last year.

"Dirk, are you sure you're going to play today?"

In the locker room, Benjamin asked with concern as he put on a protective gear for Nowitzki.

After yesterday's training, Nowitzki felt some discomfort in his back. Benjamin didn't have any injuries on the examination, but it was probably caused by an overstrain injury.

So, Benjamin wanted Dirk to take another day off and wait for the next game to return with Wade. As a result, Dirk refused.

"Of course I have to fight, and the discomfort in my back has improved a lot today. Don't worry, I'm not joking with my career. Dirk smiled confidently, playing against the second team in the league, how could he put all the blame on Yiyang.

"Dirk, you have to be careful of that Green, he's not a good stubble." Seeing that Benjamin was putting an elastic bandage on Dirk's back, Yiyang couldn't help but be a little worried.

If Green dares to hack Dirk, Yiyang dares to guarantee that even if he is banned, he will beat that guy down.

"Hey, don't get me wrong, man, that guy's target is you, not me."

"That's the best!" Yiyang stretched out his fist and gently touched Dirk.

He has come over both of them for so many years, how can a Golden State warrior help them!

Subsequently, more and more people entered the locker room. To Carlisle's delight, everyone is very serious and it seems that they all know the importance of this match.

It's no exaggeration to say that whoever wins the Warriors and Mavericks will get a ticket to the Finals. Carlisle has felt that the Warriors' style of play has been extraordinary since last season, and sure enough, this year, Steve Murphy has been playing in the Warriors. After Kerr took over Oakland, the Warriors took off.

Other teams in the West, including the Spurs this season, Carlisle is confident of winning. Only the warriors who have just risen are very uneasy.

"Okay guys, we've looked at this team for a long time and we did all the preparation in training yesterday. I just want to emphasize one more thing, whether it's a big score behind or a big lead, you have to stabilize me. The Warriors are a team that pulls away and closes the score very quickly, and against this kind of team, you never know the outcome until the end of the game. ”

Carlisle is well aware that the Warriors' most powerful weapon is the three-point shot. After a few three-pointers, they can chase the big difference.

"Don't worry, we won't take it lightly." The players echoed it, and it was precisely because they had studied this opponent for a long time that they were looking forward to it more and more.

Looking forward to the game are not only the fans of both sides, but also the commentators of the game.

Mike. Brin and Kevin. Haaland has commented on many Mavericks games this year, because the Mavericks are now the most eye-catching team in the league, so these two ESPN ace commentators naturally often follow the most popular teams.

At this point, the live broadcast hadn't started yet, but the two had already made all the preparations. Mike. Brin cleared his throat, and he was sure that he would have to yell a lot for the rest of the game.

"I'm really looking forward to it, maybe it's the game I've been looking forward to the most so far this season." Bryn's side, Kevin. Harlan rubbed his hands together and looked at the players who were warming up.

"Evenly matched, isn't it? The Mavericks relied on the traditional way to get through the game, and by the way, they tied a 130-year-old record. For the first time, the Warriors won games with jump shots, and they even tried to break the rules of the basketball game. It's not an ordinary game anymore, man. "Mike. Brin looked at the court meaningfully, this duel is a violent collision between traditional and unconventional!

Half an hour later, the Warriors also came out to warm up. Drummond. Green was the first to rush out, and he happened to meet Yiyang's eyes, so the guy smiled disdainfully and made a gesture to wipe Yiyang's neck.

"That guy is so rampant!" Gobert also saw what Green was doing, and he clenched his fists.

"It's okay Rudy, he won't be able to laugh after today's game!" Yiyang's expression also became serious, this guy has entered the competition mode.

As the shouts of the fans in the stands became louder and louder, Yiyang also knew that it was definitely getting closer and closer to the start of the game.

Half a year ago, the Warriors collapsed at the U.S. Route Center. And today, they are here with the intention of revenge.

One minute before the start of the game, the referee asked both players to take their assigned positions. Green faced the stands and raised his arms to show off his strong body under the "enthusiastic" boos of the Mavericks fans.

Yiyang knew that Green was doing it on purpose for himself. But can those muscles scare me? No kidding.

"Welcome to ESPN! I'm Mike. Bryn, sitting next to me is my partner Kevin. Today, Haaland, we're going to give you an explanation of the game. Okay, the referee kicks off, Rudy. Gobert relied on his height advantage to fight the basketball to the Mavericks halfcourt, and the game officially began! ”

The moment the game started, Mike. Brin couldn't help but want to stand up and watch the game. This atmosphere was extremely tense from the first second, and the narrator who had read countless people was restless.

Curry is obviously not as impatient as last season this year, he no longer uses his thin body to fight Yiyang, but is very smart to always keep a distance from Yiyang, both to prevent breakthroughs and shots.

Curry's improvement on the defensive end surprised Yiyang, and in just one summer, this guy can be said to be reborn.

However, progress is progress, and Curry's defense has not yet reached the point where he can completely clamp Yiyang. Seeing Iguodala cut into the basket through Gobert's block, Yiyang smashed the ball to the ground with one hand.

Curry didn't have time to reach out for a steal, and the basketball quickly crossed the crowd and refracted into Iguodala's hands. Iguodala didn't dribble after receiving the ball, but jumped straight up!

"Hmph, easily."

Just when everyone thought the goal was inevitable, Drummond. Green suddenly came out and slapped the basketball in Iguodala's hand in the air. And even a strong forward like Iguodala lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground after the confrontation with Green.

Green didn't leave immediately after the block, but glared at Iguodala who was lying to the ground in embarrassment and yelled.

"This isn't where you're supposed to be, man!"

At the same time, Curry received the basketball that was fanned out by Green, and the Warriors immediately launched a counterattack.

Their counter-attack was fast, and if it weren't for the Mavericks' preparations, the Warriors might have scored by now.

Yiyang is engrossed, this is the most serious round he has defended in the regular season so far this season. Because Yiyang is well aware that Curry is different from traditional shooters.

Traditional shooters generally prefer catch-and-shoot shots, but Curry is good at catch-and-shoot while also having a very terrible dribble shot.

He can take a shot just when you're caught off guard, and he can still guarantee a hit. With an average of 8.1 three-pointers per game and a whopping 44.3 percent shooting, it's not an exaggeration to say that his firepower covers the entire half.

Curry didn't mess around, but calmly fought with Yiyang slowly. Green immediately set up a cover for Curry after catching up from the backcourt, and Yiyang stuck the position in advance to prevent Green from blocking his lateral path.

Even so, Yiyang still ate a dark elbow from Green, but the referee didn't find out, and Yiyang could only swallow this dumb loss.

Curry accelerated and broke through after borrowing the pick-and-roll, don't say it, Curry's startup speed is definitely not slow. Nowitzki had to make up for it, otherwise Curry would have gone straight to the restricted area.

The corners of Curry's mouth curled slightly, and he spit out braces, and he was waiting for you Nowitzki to make up for it!

I saw that the No. 30 baby face wearing the blue away jersey of the Warriors quickly returned the ball to the three-point line, and it was Green who received the basketball!

Don't think that Green is strong and strong, and think of him as a rough man who has no skills and can only use brute force.

The guy shot 33.7 percent from beyond the three-point line, which is even higher than the Mavericks' "poor Dirk" Aminu.

Yiyang hurriedly stretched out his hand to interfere, but it was too late. Green calmly shot and scored three points through the net!

"Drummond. Green, he is different from Howard, this guy provoked and put on a good performance at the beginning! With a block and a three-pointer, Green came prepared today! ”

"I think I really met a strong challenger today!"

Mike. Brin and Kevin. Harlan didn't shy away from his praise, even though Green was only a second-round pick and even though he wasn't well known in his first two seasons. But this season, he has been doing really well. It could even be said that he has become an indispensable member of Cole's system.

"Mine, my, careless." Nowitzki patted Yiyang's butt, and the Germans really didn't expect Green's shot to be so decisive.

Green is no longer a traditional big man shooter, and his shooting from beyond the three-point line is as calm as an outside player!

Yiyang gritted his teeth, this guy Green did look much more difficult than Howard.

The Mavericks attacked for the second time, and Yiyang planned to use Gobert's height advantage to score inside.

He gestured to his teammates' movements, and then accelerated to break through. After trying to attract Aizeli's defense, he passed the ball to Gobert, who was unmarked.

Curry's defense didn't put too much pressure on Yiyang, who is perhaps the only player among Yiyang's many opponents who doesn't have a physical advantage over Yiyang.

Yiyang managed to break through to the middle range, and he also saw Azeli take a step forward.

"It's now!" Yiyang lifted the basketball and prepared to throw it high. He believed Gobert could see what he was trying to do, and a beautiful aerial relay was about to be completed.

But at the moment when Yiyang was about to get the ball out of his hand, a person suddenly rushed out of his side. Yiyang felt as if he had suddenly been in a car accident while crossing the street, and he was completely knocked out by a solid "pickup truck"!

"Doot toot!" The referee's hurried whistle blew and the audience booed. Drummond graciously raised his hand to signal that he had committed a foul.

In Green's view, there is nothing to be embarrassed about about a rough foul. Instead, he would be proud of it, because he disrupted the opponent's inevitable attack.

Yiyang, who was knocked away by Green, did not wait for his teammates to come to help, and instantly stood up again, then handed the ball to the referee and reached out to call Gobert.

"Rudy, hurry up and serve!"

"You...... Are you alright......"

"Where is so much nonsense, serve!"

Seeing this scene from the sidelines, Wade couldn't help but smile.

"Are you angry?" He turned to Carlisle and asked.

"Sort of."

"I've never seen this kid get angry."

"You have to be glad that you've never seen him angry when you're his opponent."

"Oh?" After listening to Carlisle's evaluation of Yiyang, Wade became more interested in this game.

It seems like a good thing to watch a game in a suit once in a while.

Don't look at Gobert is now one of the most intimidating centers in the league, but in front of Yiyang, he is still as well-behaved as a little sheep.

Gobert obediently sent the ball out, and Yiyang organized the attack again, not affected by the collision just now.

"Hmph, you're a tough guy!" Green pursed his mouth, and Yiyang's reaction after being knocked down was obviously not satisfying.

Yiyang called Dirk to block and dismantle for himself, and Curry, who is not good at defense, was delayed by the Germans, so he naturally couldn't keep up with Yiyang.

So, Green switched to Yiyang. Suddenly, the audience stood up, and the atmosphere of the war continued to rise!

Yiyang faced Green and used a quick cross-step dribble to try to break through to Green's right side.

Green is fast on the inside, but no matter how fast he is, he can't be as fast as Yiyang. Yiyang had already burst to Green's side at this time, parallel to him. Just when Green reflexively prepared to chase back, Yiyang suddenly pulled back with a crotch and retreated!

Green hurriedly changed his center of gravity and turned around again. At this time, Yiyang had already jumped and shot, and since his feet were off the ground, it couldn't be a feint. Green hurriedly stretched out his hand to block, he had an absolute height advantage.

It seems that Yiyang has no chance to shoot this time. Green had completely sealed his face, and Yiyang was already very reluctant to make a move.

Green thought so too, though the retreat was very abrupt. But this time the defense still won by itself!

"Brush!"

Just when Green was beaming, there was the sound of the Nets tumbling behind him.

The guy turned his head to see the Mavericks fans cheering. Could it be that the ball went in!?

"Beautiful response! In your face！ also hit a step-back jumper on Green's head, and he was tragically beaten by Yiyang***! Hahahaha, now Green must be about to be blown up! ”

Mike. Brin was covered in goosebumps, and Yiyang's response ball was too domineering. Deliberately misplaced to find Green, and then shot in the face. Where could Green endure this humiliation? But he really has to endure it now!

After scoring the goal, Yiyang stretched out two fingers, first pointing at his eyes, and then pointing at Green, meaning: I have my eyes on you!

"Damn it!" This time, the one who gritted his teeth was replaced by Green. Being shot in the face in response is one of the most humiliating ways to do it.

Without saying a word, Yiyang successfully reciprocated Green's rudeness. Want to play hard with me? Don't forget, I'm from Wood!
