Chapter 485: West Decisive G6
The Mavericks fought against the odds and met with any media behind closed doors.
Although the Warriors won the crucial Tianwang Mountain, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and they also refused all media interviews, and stayed in the arena to face the G6.
At the same time, the outcome of the Eastern Conference finals also changed, and the Pistons, who returned to their home court, defeated the Heat 91-78, and finally showed the demeanor of a top defensive team, and pulled the big score to 2-3, although they were still at a disadvantage, but finally retained a glimmer of hope.
The situation in the East and West is generally the same, and the enthusiasm of fans for the G6 game continues to rise.
Yang Di is also excited, he seems to have been born for the big scene, although the protagonist of the G5 battle is not him, he still cut a big double-double of 23 points and 17 rebounds, and the number of rebounds ranks first in the team all year round.
The managers of both sides were interviewed.
Avery Johnson said: "We're in a bad situation right now, it's the Warriors' home court, and we've got to move back from the defeat and then adjust quickly and find our rhythm and win the G6 game at the Oakland arena and drag the series into a tie-break. ”
Avery Johnson also said: "Yang Di and Dirk are players of the same level, the quality of this young man should not be underestimated, China is really rich in quality interior line. ”
He also crossed over to the Chinese overall player by the way, which coincided with the views of Warriors coach Montgomery in an interview.
"Chinese basketball is on the rise, and they have cultivated two NBA superstars, Yang Di and Yao Ming, who are the top luxury interior configuration in the entire NBA, and now the entire Chinese men's basketball team is at least in the top eight in the world."
Montgomery said that it was the top eight, and in the latest ranking of the international men's basketball team, the Chinese men's basketball team ranked 5th, which can be described as a record high.
It is only ranked behind the United States, Argentina, Spain, and Lithuania, and even stronger than Greece, Slovenia, Serbia and Montenegro and other old men's basketball teams in Central and Eastern Europe.
The G6 battle is highly anticipated.
San Francisco Oakland, home of the Warriors.
Warriors and Mavericks players, all Warriors fans wore black dark jerseys, and on this day, the Warriors also had a little blood, creating an atmosphere in the entire arena like a black ghost's home court.
The Warriors players played in turn, and Yang Di was the last to receive the highest decibel cheers from the fans.
He raised his arm, the tattoo on his arm flying, his expression serious, and the longing in his eyes was obvious to all.
For the Mavericks, it's the last battle on the edge of the cliff, and if you lose, you can only regret ending the season, and then it's time to go home and go fishing.
The game starts with both sides jumping the ball.
Tyson Chandler beat Keith Van Horn in a regular jump, the Warriors' first wave of offense.
In the half-time shot, Yang Di's position fell to the low post, Byron passed the ball to Tyson Chandler at the top of the arc, Chandler and Monta Ellis from the wing played a block and dismantle, and then Yang Di turned low and ran back.
Monta Ellis swept into the interior line, and with the addition of belief in the final battle, even the level and speed of ball control seemed to be faster.
Nowitzki was too late to make up for Monta-Ellis, who threw his hand and the basketball flew straight to the left of the basket.
"Shooting? It's a bit outrageous. ”
"It's a pass!"
As soon as the Mavericks fans reacted, Yang Di, who had arrived at the horse, jumped in the air, caught the ball with both hands and followed the inertia, pressing heavily and dunking.
In the opening game, the Warriors were a beautiful tactical combination.
......
After five games, the tricks that should be used and the methods that should be thought of have been tried, and the two sides are really doing it with a knife and a gun, and they have simply shown the sharpest weapons.
The same is true for the Mavericks, Nowitzki turned his back on the first ball and made a big jumper, in front of Yang Di, facing the defense, turning over and hitting a jumper.
The two sides come and go, and the fans cheer the sky.
At the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks dominated the game and led the Warriors by three points 29-26.
When Youngdy went to rest, Byron Davis led the Warriors to the second echelon of the game, and Derrick Fisher and Mike Dunleavy hit 3-pointers one after another, and the Warriors tied and overtook the game. Then, Stackhouse hit a layup, broke through the interior and caused Fayer to foul, and the Mavericks steadied their position.
At halftime, the Mavericks were 55-53, leading the Warriors by two points.
Youngdy played well in the third quarter, especially strengthening the interior killing, causing the interior players such as Nowitzki, Van Horn and Dampier to foul one after another. Yang Di walked to the free throw line in a row and survived the confrontation with the Mavericks at the beginning of the third quarter when the Warriors did not feel good on the team.
In the second half of the third quarter, Nowitzki, Jason Terry and other Mavericks slipped and missed their three-point shots.
Yang Di and others seized the opportunity to continuously attack the Mavericks' interior line plagued by fouls, Nowitzki was troubled by fouls and did not dare to make a big move, and the Warriors took the opportunity to play a wave of 11-2 high-tide to overtake the score.
Nowitzki hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer at the end of the third quarter to make it 81-79 and give the Warriors a two-point lead.
In the scorching battle at the end of the quarter, Yang Di also felt tired, the inside offensive firepower was no longer so fierce, panting heavily, holding his knees and standing on the court, finding every opportunity to rest and recover his strength.
The main players of both sides played, and the playing time in this game was more than 40 points.
Among them, people like Yang Di and Byron Davis may play around 43 or 44 minutes, and they did not arrange a minute of rest in the second half.
It's too crucial, every ball can almost become the straw for the final victory, and the coaches on both sides dare not relax their carelessness.
Rotations are basically individual rotations for a small area.
Youngdy received Davis's ball, slammed into the basket and drew Van Houorn's fifth foul and walked to the free throw line.
Maverick fans were immediately dissatisfied, "Black whistle, absolute black whistle!" ”
"Whistle too often on the calf, right? If this continues, how can the Mavericks' players still defend? ”
"It's better to give the victory directly to the Warriors, Yang Di is about to get 20 free throws."
Warriors fans don't care so much, as soon as Yang Di walked to the free throw line, they spread their hands and shouted, at first it was still in a small range, and immediately, the whole court shouted "MVP, MVP" in unison.
The Mavericks players also have ugly faces, and everyone will be upset when they hear fans shouting MVP for others.
Yang Di took a deep breath and hit both free throws.
The Mavericks were indeed resilient, too, and Terry also made a three-pointer back.
The difference in scores between the two sides was very small, and as the time of the game became less and less, everyone's nerves were tensed.
At 3:18, Byron hit a high jumper to give the Warriors a two-point lead over the Mavericks at 103-101.
At 2 minutes and 43 seconds, Nowitzki received the ball and made a jumper, still facing Yang Di's defense, throwing into the middle distance, and the Mavericks tied the score with 103.
Neither side scored, and Yang Di did not get a foul.
Terry missed a long-range shot, and Byron Davis grabbed a rebound that rebounded far away, then turned and pushed forward, and a dragon rushed to the frontcourt, and a layup caused a foul on Terry.
Relying on free throws, the Warriors led the Mavericks by 2 points at critical moments.
