Against the Warriors, it was the Mavericks' toughest series of the season.

In the Eastern Conference Finals, no matter who wins, it is unrealistic to end up causing a lot of trouble to the Mavericks, which means that as long as they win against the Warriors, then this year's championship is 70% hopeful.

The result is no different for the Warriors.

While the Mavericks were analyzing the Warriors, the Warriors were also analyzing the Mavericks.

"Bruce Qin has to be very careful at this point, and if necessary, he can empty others, Nurkic, Mitchell's shooting is not consistent enough. Mitchell, in particular, is still a rookie despite his good performances, and as long as he dares to go crazy, we can win steadily. ”

"Kevin, you need to take on more important tasks on both ends of the floor, and Paul George is not easy to deal with."

Steve Kerr put the heavy lifting on Kevin Durant.

The rest of the Warriors didn't say anything.

The Warriors played a fantastic offense in previous seasons but didn't win a championship, so they later attracted Kevin Durant to join.

Until now, it's hard to say who is the boss of the Warriors.

Kevin Durant's fame and strength are too strong, and his tactical position even overwhelms the combination of Curry and Klay Thompson, and he has the momentum of the team boss.

If you change to someone else, you will definitely not be able to bear it.

In the first season of the Durant Mavericks, Qin Yang gave up the ball, but the status of the team did not give up, and he is still the boss of the team, there is no doubt about it.

In the second season, Durant wanted to grab the position, but he was directly suppressed by Qin Yang.

But with the Warriors, it's hard.

Curry has high emotional intelligence and is willing to make sacrifices, while Steve Kerr wants to make such a change, Durant's individual ability is too strong to affect the team's tactics, and the team's only opponent has long since left the team.

That's Luke Walton, going to the Lakers as head coach.

Luke Walton hasn't had a great career, but he has a high ball quotient and has made a lot of interesting suggestions when he came into the Warriors.

Although his reputation is not obvious, Walton has played a big role for the Warriors.

If Wharton had been there, he would certainly not have advised the Warriors to give up their current Splash Brothers' advantage.

……

The two teams haven't opened up yet, but the atmosphere is enough.

With two days to go, Kevin Durant was excited to talk to the media: "Of course it's going to be a great series, and I'm looking forward to it, I've been teammates with Bruce, I know how good he is, but that's what makes people excited. ”

"I'm confident that we can win."

Kevin Durant is really confident.

Kevin Durant's stats are not good enough this season, much worse than Qin Yang, and it is precisely because of this that Durant has self-confidence, because in the two years of the Mavericks, Durant thinks he has learned to lead the team.

Data doesn't speak for strength.

This is what Kevin Durant has realized, and it is precisely because of this that Qin Yang has averaged 30+10 data per game this season, and Durant thinks that the strength of the Mavericks is worse than last year.

There is nothing wrong with that.

But sometimes that's not the case at all.

The data is too good, but it affects the team's performance, that is for most superstars such as Westbrook, for Qin Yang, the data is excellent, but it helps the team a lot, because Qin Yang is good at playing without the ball, and at this point, Stephen Curry is also doing well.

But Stephen Curry is different from Qin Yang, Curry's dispatch is too single, although the breakthrough is also excellent, and the three-point shot is accurate, but the other aspects are too flawed.

Defensively, it is destined to be a weakness, and on the offensive end, there is not enough mid-range shots.

It's not that Curry isn't good at mid-range, but compared to the basket-finishing offense and three-point shooting, Curry's mid-range is definitely a weakness.

Qin Yang does not have this weakness.

Curry's play sometimes relied too much on the team's tactics, while Qin Yang's play strengthened the team's overall strength.

That's the difference.

On May 16, the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Mavericks hosted the Warriors.

Warming up before the game, Qin Yang went to the Warriors to say hello.

Although there may be conflicts and even unpleasant troubles in the game, after the game, everyone will not care.

This is the charm of competitive sports.

Several people on the Warriors are very familiar with Qin Yang, and they have practiced together many times in the offseason, so they are old acquaintances. However, before the game, everyone looked serious and did not mean to joke.

On the commentary seat.

Charles Barkley said with great interest: "This series may be the most exciting series of the playoffs this season, whether it is the Warriors or the Mavericks, they have absolutely swept the championship in previous years, but unfortunately they met opponents." ”

"That's right." Kenny Smith couldn't help but admire, "Including the eliminated Rockets, the lineup is very strong, and it can even be said that the Rockets definitely have the strength to crush and win the championship three or four years ago, and now in the NBA, it is too difficult to win the championship." ”

O'Neill said:

"Anyway, I hope Stephen Curry and Bruce Chin feel better so that the fans get a great show."

The league has been hyping about this series for a long time.

The attention of fans is also ranked first.

Qin Yang practiced shooting, his face expressionless.

The more he came to this kind of competition, the more stable Qin Yang's performance became, but for this game, Qin Yang had a vague premonition.

Mavericks starters, Paul George, Qin Yang, Mitchell, Nurkic, Gobert.

Aside from Mitchell's somewhat surprising start, the rest of the positions were expected.

Warriors starters, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Bogut.

Bogut has suffered frequent serious injuries in the past two seasons, but after recovering from injury, he is still very strong, especially on the defensive end, ranking around the top ten in the league.

The two sides jumped the ball, and Gobert dialed the ball over without any suspense.

Mavericks offense.

Qin Yang dribbled over the half, Nurkic made a cover, and after the cover, Kevin Durant assisted in the defense, and the Warriors' defense was very strategic, wrapping one layer after another, and not giving Qin Yang any chance.

After Klay Thompson is on the opposite side, it's Durant.

But then, Paul George blocked again, Qin Yang broke through to the basket, Nurkic was in position, and Qin Yang scored an easy layup.

Draymond Green was a step slower and was scored by Qin Yang with an easy layup with rhythm.

Warriors offense.

Durant did not attack with the ball, but occupied a high position to attract the defense after blocking and dismantling, Klay Thompson blocked and dismantled, Curry broke through with the help of cover, and pulled the ball back after an emergency stop and stepped back to shoot a three-point shot.

Mitchell defended too hard and was shaken out of position by Curry.

Sou!

Three-pointers scored.

At the beginning of the game, both teams worked the offensive end.
