Chapter 471: The West Floor
The Warriors prepared for five days, and the Mavericks and Spurs fought to a tiebreaker.
In the final seventh game, which was played on the home court of the Spurs, in the face of three S-level players, Nowitzki completely exploded, and the two teams played an epic matchup.
Duncan scored a game-high 41 points on 12-of-24 shooting and contributed 15 rebounds, six assists and three blocks.
Nowitzki, on the other hand, scored a game-high 37 points on 11-of-20 shooting and grabbed 15 rebounds.
The two sides were tied 104-104 in the regular 48 minutes.
But in overtime, the Mavericks blossomed more, Diop, Jerry Starhouse, Terry, Nowitzki and others all scored, while the Spurs did not shoot well, the whole team only 2 of 10 shots, especially Duncan, who relied on the pillar, due to the decline in physical strength in overtime, only 1 of 7 shots, and the Spurs lost the game 111-119 very regrettably.
Yang Di watched the game between the two teams, and he thought that the Mavericks only had Nowitzki one S+, while the Spurs had two S- Ginobili and Parker, and the strength was definitely the Spurs ahead. But this is not the case, although the Mavericks' Jason Terry, Devin Harris, Josh Howard, Dampier and other players are only A+ level players, but they are all biased players, many players are either offensive or defensive S-level, with each other, each with its own characteristics, the overall strength of the team is very strong, enough to compete with the Spurs.
This is also one of the few times that Yang Di has looked away, and now he has to fight against the Mavericks, and he really has no certainty of winning in his heart.
In the East, after the Cavaliers and the Pistons played seven games, the Cavaliers still lost to the Pistons, the Heat defeated the Nets 4-1, and the Eastern Conference Finals became a game between the Pistons and the Heat.
Some people say that the most championship-looking Pistons encountered the most terrifying 03 platinum interception in history.
After the semifinals and the "little emperor" James, the Eastern Conference finals will also play against the "Flash" Wade, if the Warriors can win the Mavericks, it is possible that the finals will also play against the "meteorite belt" Yang Di, it is simply an inspirational blockbuster, and Yang Di is the ultimate villain.
In the white-hot stage, in late May, it will be time to see the finals of the East and West.
Since the Mavericks have a better record than the Warriors, the Warriors are missing home-court advantage in this series and travel to Dallas first to play two away games.
Because the Mavericks and Warriors are in two divisions, the two teams have played a total of three games in the regular season this season.
The Mavericks won 2 games, while the Warriors won 1 game, but judging from the battle between the two teams, the Mavericks were really tired of playing two consecutive tie-breaks, and the Warriors had a little feeling of waiting for work.
"Rush up, if there is a chaotic battle, we will rush up." Montgomery had anticipated what would happen on the court and had vaccinated the Warriors players in advance.
The Mavericks are all masters of chaos, and the Warriors also have a bit of a run-and-gun style, and the two teams met together, like Mars hitting the earth, and the game has not officially started, attracting a lot of attention.
In the third year of his career, Yang Di has won many awards and personal honors, and every step he takes now is an improvement in his personal level and a proof of his personal strength.
.......
Dallas is the third-largest city in Texas and the ninth-largest in the United States.
After Yang Di arrived in the west, he had already played a few games here, so he was quite familiar with the city.
In the finals of the East and West, the league schedules one game a day, and the fewer games there are, the more attention is paid to each player.
Dallas has a humid subtropical climate, and the days in summer are very long, and it is like daylight until the fans of Dallas enter, and it is said that the night will gradually fall after ** o'clock.
The Dallas Mavericks' locker room is the most luxurious in the league, and the team's owner, Cuban, is indeed a basketball-loving owner who has done the best in the NBA when it comes to logistics.
The point is, his dressing room is good home and away, not like some teams, which are good at home and average away.
At 6:30 p.m., players from both sides entered the field in turn.
As soon as Yang Di stepped into the arena, his eyes were squinted, the stadium was brightly lit, the fans were already full, and Maverick supporters and basketball fans across the state would not miss this grand event.
There was a slight commotion between the players from both sides, but it quickly subsided, with many people taking pictures of the players on the pitch who were in their final warm-up sessions.
After the punctual time, the lights went out in the stadium, and the fans suddenly screamed and whistled.
In Dallas, the calves represent the wildest culture in the West, where cowboys seek justice and freedom.
Nowitzki, Yang Di.
Among the international players, these two can be said to be representative figures, one represents the peak of basketball in Europe, and the other represents the peak of basketball in Asia.
No. 41 stood in front of Yang Di, with a fiery battle in his eyes.
"Yang."
Nowitzki stretched out his hand and shook Yang Di hard, Yang Di squinted, "Dirk." ”
"It's the first time I've played you in a series, so don't be soft." The German said with a fighting spirit.
"The Chinese have never been soft." Yang Di snorted coldly, as if he was afraid of him, what a joke, just one sentence ignited a fire in his heart.
The two separated, the camera pulled to the maximum, and the starters on both sides stood on the field.
Wang vs. Wang, will face the general, Yang Di returned to the position of starting power forward, against Nowitzki.
Warriors starters: PG Derrick Fisher, SG Byron Davis, SF Danny Granger, PF Jandy, C Tyson Chandler.
Mavericks starters: PG Jason Terry, SG Devin Harris, SF Josh Howard, PF Dirk Nowitzki, C Eric Dampier
Looking at the starting lineup, the height of each position is almost similar, and Yang Di is five or six centimeters behind Nowitzki, but Yang Di is good at defense, height and weight have never been something he worries and fears.
In the center position, Dampier and Chandler stand together and prepare to jump the ball.
The referee walked to the center circle, the basketball was held in his hand, and the noisy cheers on the scene became more enthusiastic, and the decibels went straight to the top of the arena, as if to overturn the entire arena.
Yang Di leaned down and raised his head, staring ahead with wolf-like eyes.
The cameras returned to their positions and the referee pointed to the sides to signal that he was about to throw the ball.
Chandler's and Dampier's muscles tensed together in an instant.
The referee put the whistle in his mouth, held his breath like a blower on his chest, and then blew it suddenly, and at the same time, he threw the ball with one arm, and the basketball rose straight into the sky.
Yang Di's gaze lifted along the basketball, and the light shone high.
Tyson Chandler and Eric Dampier both let out a loud shout and jumped up almost in no particular order, both gritting their teeth and stretching out their arms with all their might.
The perfect muscle line, captured by the high-definition camera, the movement, in this moment of stillness, appears particularly charming......
