Chapter 603: Infighting, Defeat

'Thiem, I'm going to have to take more shots in the second half, and it's hard to win if it goes on like this.'

Tony Parker didn't have a good temper and said bluntly.

This is said to Duncan, but in fact, it is said to Kawhi Leonard, in the first half, Leonard's shooting rate was more than 30%, which really pitted his teammates, and on the defensive end, Leonard did not limit Qin Yang well enough.

Tony Parker was the player with the highest shooting percentage in both games.

Even with Gobert on the inside, Tony Parker's shooting percentage is still amazing, more than 50%.

Not even Duncan can compare to that.

Ginobili's efficiency depends on the mood, he is not stable enough, he was decent in the last game, and he played average in the second quarter of this game.

Kawaii Leonard had a sullen temperament and sat aside without saying a word.

After this game, Kawaii also went to practice shooting.

The game was fast in action, and the Spurs wanted to show off their surprises.

Dio started to play on the inside, Al-Jefferson was very depressed at first, and Dio was a very strange player, very slow, but very good at passing.

The first ball was passed to Tony Parker for a layup to score.

The Mavericks immediately took a timeout.

Thackeray plays.

Upper Thackeray at a critical moment.

It's impossible.

Thackeray's role is obvious, and after three or four minutes, Thackeray belongs to the inside line that does not slip and has no characteristics.

The advantage is that you dare to fight and be passionate.

Cheering on your teammates off the field is also good on the field.

In the face of Dior, he directly forced physical contact, and others made layups, Thackeray was really catching up, even if it was a foul, it was also aggressive.

In the playoffs, no one dares to foul ruthlessly, it's not okay.

Thackeray plays that role.

Dio was immediately restrained, and the Spurs' offense slowed down a lot. That's where Thackeray comes in.

After three or four minutes, Thackeray was quickly substituted.

Gobert and Nowitzki partner on the inside, Marion, Qin Yang, and Cosby partner on the outside. This lineup is very offensive on the offensive end.

The three-point shots of the three are very accurate, and Marion is also a stable horse in the middle distance.

The Spurs will be difficult to defend.

Infinite outside cover and pass and cut together, and finally find a misplaced shot.

The Mavericks' Princeton tactics are obvious, and Nowitzki and Qin Yang have a natural mismatch advantage, and this game is not difficult to play.

Whoosh!

The three-pointer was thrown and not played, and in this quarter, the point difference was widened.

If it weren't for Tony Parker and Ginobili hitting back-to-back shots to save some of the scores, three quarters later might have been in the rhythm of the Mavericks' last game.

After three quarters, the Mavericks led by eight points.

This point difference, there is still a play in the next quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs were really fighting.

The Spurs attacked, and the outside pass and cut coordination did not work, and Duncan stuck on the inside and directly singled Al Jefferson.

This time, Al Jefferson was not given a chance to foul.

After the back single, he turned around and shot directly.

Duncan didn't even jump, and hit the board with ease.

The rhythm is well grasped, the strength is strong enough, the height has an advantage, as long as it occupies a little, the back body singles are very useful.

Al Jefferson couldn't do anything.

The Mavericks attacked, Qin Yang waved, and shot at the critical moment of the ultra-long-distance three-point shot, Kawaii Leonard jumped up quickly, and his fingers touched the basketball.

A brilliant cap.

Duncan got into position in time and got the rebound.

Spurs attack.

Ginobili failed to play a single outside line, and at a critical moment, he suddenly jumped up and shot a three-point shot.

Sou!

Three-pointer.

The Mavericks attacked, and Nowitzki responded with a high post and passed to Cosby, who made a layup and was blocked by Duncan.

Kawaii gets the rebound.

Spurs attack.

Kawaii singled directly this time and shot between the two, causing Nowitzki to foul, 2-of-2.

In a wave, the difference was leveled.

The Spurs' momentum instantly rose.

The Spurs' defense is too strong, as long as they seize the opportunity and a wave flows out, they can reverse the score, if it is fifteen or sixteen points, the situation will be more stable, but the 8-point difference is gone.

Five minutes into the fourth quarter, a key moment.

After the pause, the Mavericks attacked, Qin Yang took the ball and slowly passed the half.

Kawaii Leonard was in high spirits, clinging to his body like an octopus, and Nowitzki stepped forward to take cover.

Qin Yang retreated and passed to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki lobs the ball to Qin Yang again.

In an instant, Vince Carter and Nowitzki came to a double cover.

Elevator tactics.

Outside the three-point line, no one defended, and Qin Yang shot instantly.

Sou!

Three-pointers scored.

At the critical moment, stabilize the situation.

It's just that this kind of tactic can't be commonly used, elevator tactics, a bit of a cover foul, if you really want to play like this, the number of Mavericks covering mistakes will be greatly increased, not to mention that the goal is invalid, and the ball has to be given to the Spurs.

Spurs attack.

Qin Yang followed Tony Parker.

Duncan covered, Qin Yang quickly bypassed, Tony Parker went directly to the basket, and threw directly in the air. This kind of shot is difficult to be interfered with by the inside.

But Qin Yang had already prepared, and jumped up directly in the back, grabbing his hat.

After landing, Tony Parker scrambled, and Qin Yang poured out of the line and smashed the basketball into Tony Parker's leg.

Mavericks ball possession.

Qin Yang attacked with the ball, Nowitzki covered, after the cover, Qin Yang continued to accelerate, Gobert stepped forward to cover, and Qin Yang made a layup.

Three people rushed over at the same time.

Qin Yang gently threw the ball from the top of his head to the left, and Nowitzki received the ball and scored with an easy dunk.

Defending this matter, if you use too much force, it will be light.

The Spurs were in too much of a hurry, but they weren't doing well enough.

But there is no way to do it, if you don't include Qin Yang, Qin Yang can shoot directly, and the hit rate is very high. The Spurs can't afford not to defend.

At the critical moment, the score difference widened again.

The Spurs are playing steadily, and the Mavericks are not unhurried.

6 points.

3 points.

5 points.

3 points.

……

The point margin hovered around five points, the Spurs were stable, the Mavericks were stable, and in the final quarter, the Mavericks switched to a defensive lineup.

The weakest defense on the team is Vince Carter, want to single Vinska?

Yes, but the efficiency value may not be very high.

The two teams grinded until the last half minute, Qin Yang made a mid-range shot, and the referee blew the whistle 2 in 2 before the game was decided.

The second round of the Western Conference Finals is another tough battle.

After twists and turns, after fighting to the death, the winner was finally decided.

Once again, the Mavericks defended their home glory.

2-0 lead.

This start is a very big advantage for the Mavericks.

After the game, the Mavericks were filled with laughter.

At the press conference, Coach Rick Carlisle smiled:

"My players did a great job, they withstood the pressure in the key moments, they didn't panic no matter what the situation, and they were able to hold even if they were equalized, which is the fundamental reason why the Mavericks were able to win."

Coach Carlisle is very happy, and the situation in this year's playoffs is going more smoothly than expected.

The first two games, all wins!

Then next, the chances of winning this series are high.
