Chapter 230: Let go of the cast
Although Yang Di was extremely lethal and grabbed a lot of rebounds, the Mavericks gradually caught up with the score. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Finley hit a three-point shot from the outside, dodged Yang Di's block and threw a shot after breaking through, and scored five points in a row to let the Mavericks close the score, but on the Warriors' side, morale dropped slightly because of Murphy's missed shot and Fisher's passing error.
Harris finally knew what Yang Di had gone through in the past two years, and the terrifying sense of defense and terrifying bounce formed a big hand to protect the frame, and it was not too much to be called the top ten in the NBA.
"It turns out that before he knows it, he has reached this point!" Harris felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, with his current role as a substitute in the Mavericks, with less than fifteen minutes of performance in a game, can he really catch up with him? The distance between the two is getting farther and farther apart.
It didn't help for the Warriors to call a timeout.
Nowitzki came back and fired straight from the outside, scoring nine points in the first quarter, and the Mavericks chased the margin to just two points.
Avery Johnson was a little smug and felt that it was his proposed substitution that had worked as Harris could easily get past Fisher's defense and tear apart the Warriors' defense. And because of Harris's appearance, Youngdy was forced to go out to help defend, and his ability to control rebounds and other Mavericks players in the restricted area was reduced, and Nowitzki could calmly withdraw from the outside line and hit some long-range shots.
The audience cheered, enthusiastic during the Mavericks' consecutive points.
Yang Di doesn't think it's Fisher's problem, although Harris can pass people, but Fisher also used the help of the pick-and-roll, but it was the first time he forcibly overtook him, he thought it was a problem of changing the defense after the pick-and-roll, and he couldn't delay Harris in time, giving the Mavericks enough space to shoot and conduct.
"Tighten it a little tighter!" Yang Di shouted loudly, hoping to increase the aggressiveness of the crowd.
He himself is close to Bradley, while keeping an eye on Murphy, who is defending Nowitzki, ready to help defend at any time.
The Mavericks handed over to Finley for the final offense of the first quarter.
Richardson reached out and pressed against Finley, Finley bent over to break through, and Novitsky blocked the pick-and-roll, Murphy did not delay Finley, because Richardson used a close wipe method, and Finley did not open an absolute distance.
Finley took two steps, then suddenly stopped and brought his hands together.
Richardson subconsciously jumped up, and found in the air that Finley did not shoot, but made a feint to worship Buddha, and after shaking Richardson away, he easily moved sideways.
Then he shot from his back and hit the board.
The Mavericks outscored the Warriors by one point 26-25, and scored more than a dozen points in four minutes, with ferocious offensive firepower.
Yang Di walked off the court sullenly, and after Harris was replaced, the Mavericks were crazy about mid-range shooting and mid-range, and there was no other way at all.
He himself had 8 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks in the first quarter, which is remarkable in the words of the newspaper.
After the first quarter, Nowitzki and others went off the court, and the Warriors also replaced Salmons, Petrus and other bench bandits.
Harris showed pace, not only scoring a layup, but also creating a foul on Petrus in one offense, and his personal scoring steadily improved.
After that, Salmons made the third three-pointer of the game for the Warriors, and the Warriors steadied themselves.
The bench strength of the two teams is half a pound, but the Mavericks have the advantage of the home court, and they have been leading by 3 to 5 points.
The two sides played a lot of offensive tactics, and the attack was fast-paced.
When Yang Di came on the court, the Warriors trailed by 2 points at 44-46, and with the last 5 minutes and 11 seconds left in the second quarter, the Mavericks' Nowitzki and other main players had also returned to the court.
"Change the guard!" Yang Di made a gesture and motioned to exchange places with Murphy.
This is also what the head coach Montgomery just came to the bench explained, Murphy's defensive effect is not good, so that the mobility is stronger, and the more confrontational Yang Dilai and Nowitzki are opposed.
Montgomery's concern is that Jandy will be fouled by Nowitzki, which will affect the rest of the playing time.
Sure enough, less than two minutes after the two switched defenses, Nowitzki shook Yang Di in a low position, leaned on Yang Di to make a shooting foul, and Yang Di got the second foul of the game.
Montgomery was so frightened that he immediately stood up, although Murphy's defense was not good, but at least this guy didn't foul, if Yang Di fouled, the strength of the Warriors would drop significantly.
He immediately asked Yang Di and Murphy to exchange back, and this little episode was watched by Nelson Sr. and Avery Johnson at the same time.
Old Nelson smiled silently, and Johnson couldn't help but laugh loudly, "Coach, the old man from the academy opposite is too funny, sure enough, people who haven't really experienced the NBA don't understand the NBA, and the more challenges they encounter, the more they should let the players face the difficulties." ”
At halftime, the Mavericks led the Warriors by eight points, 59-51.
It looked like the Mavericks were in high spirits, and Nowitzki's 17 points in the half showed plenty of court presence. This made fans who support the Warriors sweat, feeling that the Mavericks are worthy of being a strong team in the West, and even if they lose a starter like Dampier, they can still surpass the Warriors.
"Let go of the cast!"
Yang Di felt that he couldn't be led by the Warriors, and before the start of the second half, he secretly pulled Richardson and Dunleavy, "Anyway, they can't grab me with rebounds, so you can shoot boldly, and if you can't shoot, I'll put the ball outside!" ”
"That's a good idea!" Richardson thought so, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "The Mavericks' Dirk Nowitzki and Sean Bradley's combined average rebounds per game are much worse than yours, these two can't grab rebounds at all, I think it's feasible!" ”
Dunleavy shrugged, and since the team boss said it was possible, he didn't have much more to say.
Montgomery didn't know that the first three men had reached such a consensus, only to see that at the beginning of the second half, Richardson and Dunleavy were particularly resolute.
The resolute shot created a good shooting rate, and the two fired frequently from the outside, which immediately helped the Warriors close the score.
The Mavericks used a timeout to curb the pair's hand, and Nelson Sr. criticized sophomore Josh Howard, who didn't have any effect at all on his defense during this time.
Coming back from a timeout, the Mavericks expanded their defense, and Dunleavy stepped back and missed a shot.
But Yang Di struggled to racket the ball to the outside and gave it to Fisher to reorganize.
Fisher beckoned, signaling that there was no hurry.
Then after a pick-and-roll, it was distributed to Richardson who cut in the air, and Richardson dribbled inside, dodged Finley's defense, and hit a jumper.
At 7:49, the Warriors tied the score 69-69.
