Chapter 834: Just Frontal, Some Fight
As soon as the game began, the scale was huge.
Charles Barkley:
"Oh, this is the rhythm I like, this kind of game is the real NBA, the battle between men, think about the last game, blow a breath, the referee has to blow the whistle, where is this game, just shoot in the same place."
Charles Barkley complained, and Kenny Smith didn't say anything.
O'Neill has no opinion:
'Anyway, the game is not going to be a place to fight, and I think both teams can take that and this game will not disappoint.'
O'Neill is also an old fritter, and from the beginning here, it can be seen that something is wrong.
Even if it's a foul, there's no need for the first ball to be like that.
Qin Yang's choice seems to be problematic.
But it is precisely because of this that the referee will have pressure in his heart, and he will not dare to blow the penalty on a small scale, otherwise the game will continue and he will not be able to play.
If superstars leave the court with six fouls in the first half, will fans be allowed to watch role players 5v5 at critical moments?
The Warriors made free throws, and Curry made 1 of 2 free throws.
Obviously, although the foul just now didn't hurt anyone, Curry's arm was red, and if it goes on like this, it will affect the shooting feel very much.
When the Mavericks attacked, Klay Thompson defended again, the pressure was put on it.
Klay Thompson has a good image among the fans, and he can be called Mr. Yes. Plays hard, top off-ball pitcher, defensively excellent, and conscientious.
But Klay Thompson is also a wonder in the NBA.
That's right, Klay Thompson didn't get a lot of attention in high school and college, and later made money and developed a lot of hobbies after entering the NBA.
For example, going to nightclubs.
Going to nightclubs is nothing, and the weirdest thing about Thompson is that he is very diligent in changing girlfriends, almost comparable to Griffin.
Last season, Thompson changed four or five girlfriends, two of whom were famous.
Because they are James Harden's ex-girlfriend and Griffin's ex-girlfriend.
That's right, maybe the world is so small.
NBA players may not be able to find girlfriends among themselves, otherwise why do they always like to find other people's ex-girlfriends, oops, it's an amazing thing.
Thompson doesn't usually speak, but he plays hard.
In this defense, Thompson used his hands hard, staring with his arms, holding his arms, and defending Qin Yang with semi-foul movements.
If it were someone else, it might be really scared.
But Qin Yang didn't admit it this time.
Don't talk about anything else, it's just positive.
It's irrational, but it's rational.
The referee watched from the sidelines and wanted to blow the whistle, but hesitated and didn't blow the whistle, and the whistle last time was a bit biased in favor of the Mavericks. This time it's a little bit of a balance.
But that balance is broken.
Qin Yang stopped and accelerated, carrying Klay Thompson in the middle distance, and with a flick of his right hand, the basketball crossed a strange arc, and finally hit the rebound and rolled into the basket.
Weird spooky shots.
This ball is a fairy ball.
But in.
The scene was full of cheers.
Warriors offense.
The outside Splash Brothers blocked again, but the Mavericks defended very toughly, neither of them found a good opportunity, Mitchell exerted much more defensive pressure this time than in the last game, but the referee couldn't blow the whistle, because Klay Thompson's defensive scale was even larger than this time, and he didn't blow the whistle last time, so how to blow the whistle this time.
In the end, Durant got the ball, and Paul George defended it.
If it was previous seasons, it wouldn't be so big.
The Warriors would spin the ball up, and eventually a player would take a shot, play extremely smoothly, and finish the offense with offense and dribbling.
In the process, everyone on the Mavericks had to deal with it.
But now, no longer needed.
Durant forced a single-handed, and under the tight defense of Paul George, the mid-range jumper was missed. The mid-range jumper is Durant's killer weapon, and when facing most defenders this season, the shooting percentage is super high, and basically except for Durant's own bad hand, no one else can do it.
But Paul George is clearly the one who can reduce Durant's shooting percentage.
Nurkic got the rebound under the basket, even if Green rushed up to grab a position with Nurkic, but the difference in height and weight was obvious.
Mavericks offense.
Paul George continued to cover, Qin Yang broke through, and when he got to the basket, he met the bag and passed to Nurkic, who dribbled a step, stuck Draymond Green, and hit a hook shot.
Qin Yang didn't assist, but the Mavericks scored easily.
The biggest difference between the Mavericks and the Warriors is that the Mavericks are solid on the offensive end, and they can ensure their shooting percentage even in the face of strong defense.
But the Warriors relied too much on their touch.
In this game, the defensive scale was a big one, and the Warriors' shooting percentage dropped.
As the first quarter passed, the Mavericks led by seven points.
By the second quarter, the margin was still widening.
Qin Yang encountered a tight defense in the second quarter, but his teammates stepped up at this time, Belinelli scored 11 points in a single quarter, made three three-pointers, and shot 3-of-4 from three-point range, both teams were first, and the Warriors were directly behind by 15 points.
Half a long time, a 15-point lead.
The pundits and fans watching the game were a little confused.
The gap between this game and the last game is too big.
As if it weren't a team.
Qin Yang didn't play in the third quarter, looking at his teammates off the court. There was nothing wrong with the Warriors coming close in the third quarter, but Donovan Mitchell stepped up in the crunch time.
In the last game, Mitchell played poorly, but this game Mitchell was different.
Fast break layups, defense, three-point shots, singles with the ball...... Mitchell has played very well and has played the momentum of a superstar on the court.
After the entire third quarter, the Mavericks still led by 15 points.
Only 2 points were recovered in a single quarter, which was a very good performance.
The Mavericks' defensive tactics worked.
Under a strong defense, it is difficult for the Warriors to ensure a smooth offense, and the offensive efficiency is greatly reduced, and when the Warriors give the ball to Durant to play alone, they will not be the opponent of the Mavericks.
Compared with the efficiency of singles, it is not who the Mavericks bully.
In the fourth quarter, the Warriors still wanted to turn around.
But at the critical moment, Qin Yang's role came up.
Qin Yang's dispatch has always been as steady as a dog, not looking at anything else, just playing tactics, playing advantages, at critical moments, Qin Yang ran without the ball, and hit two three-pointers in a row, directly killing the suspense.
Played almost the entire game with the ball, two off-ball offenses, and the Warriors were caught off guard.
In the second game, the Mavericks won, and the game came to 1-1.
From the point of view of neutral fans, such a game is really exciting.
And the Eastern Conference Finals were played the same.
