“After signing with the Mavericks, the dark clouds that hung over my head disappeared. I think you know that when you are discussing the Mavericks, you can feel the kind of respect that is unprecedented. Feeling, so I want to be part of the Mavericks. Well, that’s it.” Guy finished speaking, tried to open his sleepy eyes, smiled at the camera, and returned to the court to continue warming up.
Because of Yiyang’s words, Mouran deliberately reserved the spot for sideline interviews to Rudy Gay before the game today-there was no performance in the first three games, and they were almost forgotten by people in the corner. Star striker.
Why is a quasi-all-star forward? Because as long as you take a closer look, you will be surprised to find that Rudy Gay has not even been selected for an All-Star. J.r. Smith once said that Rudy Gay is the dividing line of the All-Stars.
Guy’s answer just now was nothing special, but it made Mourin feel a little different. This guy who was once treated as a star, now seems more willing to be a role player. This guy who averaged more than 15 shots per game all year round is now more willing to do some work other than scoring.
Mou Ran looked at the Warriors’ warm-up half and saw Iguodala, who was chatting with Yiyang. Iguodala? Mu Ran smiled slightly.
Rudy Gay is like this, isn’t it like Iguodala who chose to join the Mavericks?
So, let us look forward to your game today, Rudy!
※※※
The Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks are definitely a pair of mortal enemies. Beginning in the Nowitzki era, the “crazy scientist” old Nelson, who was just fired by the Mavericks, led the Warriors to complete a dramatic black eight miracle. Since then, the two teams have forged a beam. Later, in the era of Yiyang and Curry, the two teams also sparked again and again.
The Mavericks won the Warriors’ 72-win season, and the horizontal knife took the first place in the regular season. In the playoffs of the same year, the Mavericks eliminated the incredible Warriors and won the O’Brien Cup.
The Golden State Warriors ended the three-game winning dynasty belonging to the Mavericks. If there is no Warriors, maybe the Mavericks will become the first team to be able to win four consecutive championships in the 21st century.
Back then, it was Yiyang who forced the Warriors into a group. And last season, this team of warriors also defeated the Mavericks who dominated the league and won the coveted O’Brien Cup. Such a strong causal relationship has turned the Mavericks and the Warriors into unshakable enemies.
This season, the Mavericks are regrouping, and the Golden State Warriors are not afraid of challenges. Look at Durant’s self-confidence as he warms up, this guy is not afraid of the Dallas Mavericks.
“Not long after the start of the regular season, we were fortunate to see such a blockbuster matchup. Although the situation in the Western Conference this year is a bit chaotic, many teams have greatly increased their strength. But let me say that the one who can eventually reach the Western Conference Finals is still The Mavericks and the Warriors. So this game can be called a preview of the Western Conference Finals.”
The players are still warming up, and the commentator has already started his own work. As a national live broadcast, the ratings of this game remain high. Today, half of the teams in the league have games to play, but no game has attracted more attention than this one.
“Do you think the Dallas Mavericks after the reunification can succeed in revenge?” On the commentary stage, Kevin Harlan began to ask Mike Brin to make predictions about the game.
Although the Mavericks performed well in the first three games, and just defeated the Rockets the day before yesterday. But in Mike Brin’s view, the Mavericks’ lineup is still somewhat “unacceptable.” Veteran, the decline in strength is serious. Young man, and no experience in fighting tough battles. Although Mitchell’s last game has entered people’s field of vision, compared with the Warriors’ “Galaxy Battleship”, the Mavericks’ “Big Three” are still a bit shabby.
Therefore, Mike Brin, who has always been particularly optimistic about the Mavericks, does not think that the Mavericks can win four consecutive victories today. “As long as the Warriors make no mistakes, they are more likely to win the game.”
Look at the look relaxed and shake your head in the basement, look at Durant and Clay who are talking and laughing, and look at Drummond Green who is provoking the fans. The Golden State Warriors did not put the Mavericks in their eyes at all. Their lineup is invincible!
Before the game began, Mougin had thought about whether Carlisle would let Gay play the starting power forward. However, Nowitzki still went into battle, and Guy still just sat silently at the end of the bench and didn’t care at all.
Yiyang, Yiyang, you said that today depends on Guy’s performance. What kind of performance do you want to see? I can’t, it means he is waving a towel.
“I will knock your teeth off, you stupid French bastard!” During the scrimmage, Pachulia spouted vicious trash with a smile. If the scrimmage is Megeri, both sides may Fight before the start of the game.
But Gobert still keeps this calm, he is now one of the core members of the Mavericks, he will not allow himself to be sent off the court because of such a thing.
Pachulia is just a good slapstick. During the scrimmage, his height can’t be compared to Gobert’s. Yiyang received the basketball, and the Warriors quickly retreated. The cheers of the American Airlines Center Arena flooded the city of Dallas, and the most high-profile matchup at the beginning of the season finally started.
In the Western Conference Finals last season, Yiyang was alone. Except for him, no one else can put pressure on the Warriors’ defense. But this year is different. For the Mavericks’ first offense, the Warriors paid the price for their double-teaming.
Yiyang broke through Curry, and Durant struck with his long arm. In this situation last season, Yiyang had to pass the ball to Iguodala, but Iguodala’s three-pointer percentage was not stable.
But this season is different, Hayward calmly fired from the bottom corner, letting the Warriors collapse. The Mavericks have a threatening offensive point, and now it’s not just Yiyang alone.
But soon, the Warriors also showed their strength. Curry was very defensively defended by Yiyang, but Durant shot the ball directly on Hayward after receiving the basketball.
Durant’s height and wingspan made him almost undisturbed. The three-pointer passed through the net, and the Warriors’ offense was so clean. Even if it’s just using individual ability to play singles, the Warriors’ firepower can’t be contained.
The Mavericks attacked for the second time and Yiyang broke through and was maliciously brought down by Pachulia. This guy Pachulia made rough movements, and Yiyang was already quite familiar with it.
He took Gobert and Dirk’s forearms and stood up, preparing for a free throw. On the free throw line, Yiyang almost never misses. The Dallas Mavericks once again took the lead. Looking at the Warriors players, they are still calm and composed.
Sure enough, Klay Thompson’s catch made Deron Williams overwhelming. The Warriors hit two three-pointers in a row and immediately surpassed the score again.
This anxious game situation between the two sides is bound to continue to the last moment. This is the game between the Warriors and the Mavericks. Even in the Western Conference Finals last season, the two sides had only one game with a difference of more than double digits.
The situation of the game has been anxious until the rotation time, the scores of the two teams rose alternately, and no one can contain anyone. At this time, Mouran’s eyes looked at Guy, but Guy remained unmoved, instead staring at his teammates with his sleepy eyes.
That guy Yiyang, shouldn’t even lie to me, right? Judging from the situation today, Guy will not play at all!
The second team battle between the two sides, Mitchell became the Mavericks’ most threatening attack point. But today, it is not easy for him to score. Cole developed a special defensive strategy for the three young men of Mitchell, Kuzma and Mudiay, which led to the three of them repeatedly hitting walls on the offensive end.
Iguodala personally confronted Kuzma, making Kuzma a little confused. This guy’s shots have repeatedly hit the iron, and he can hardly break into the inside. Kuzma’s ability to finish in the confrontation needs to be improved.
As for Mitchell, the Warriors’ defense strategy is to keep shooting. Mitchell’s breakthrough is as deadly as a sharp knife, but his shots are often ineffective. The Warriors’ flexible defense did make Mitchell hit the wall, and his performance in the first quarter was not satisfactory.
In this way, the Warriors took advantage of the excellent performance of their second team to widen the point difference to eight points at the end of the first quarter.
In the second quarter of the game, the Warriors gave a small lineup. Green played five, Durant played four, and Iguodala played three. The elderly Nowitzki faced Durant, completely unable to resist.
It would be too easy for Durant to break through Dirk. Does Dirk want to fight Durant? It’s not that easy. Even if Dirk sits inside, he may not be able to move Durant.
And Hayward’s scoring pace under Iguodala’s defense is also limited to a certain extent. Halfway through the second quarter, when Durant used his off-the-ball run to easily throw off Dirk and hit a three-pointer, the Warriors’ lead became 11 points! Durant raised his right hand, compared three fingers, and Curry danced directly, enjoying the boos of the Mavericks fans. It seemed that the Warriors’ double-digit advantage was simply light-hearted.
“Let me say, young people will be restricted in this kind of game. The opponent is always the defending champion, and their defense is not something rookies can stand.”
Mike Brin shook his head. Perhaps in the playoffs, the more mature Mavericks can get close to the Warriors. But in today’s game, the Mavericks have almost no chance of winning.
At this time, Carlisle called a timeout. 11 points difference, if you sit back and watch, the kid Curry may really have to check in early to get off work.
This is Carlisle’s only chance. The question is, who can play the fourth position after losing Iguodala? Kuzma? If he meets Durant, it is estimated that he will be scumbed. After all, Kuzma’s defense is not particularly good.
Where is Little Nance? No, that guy’s ability to defend outside is not strong. Moreover, if he plays the fourth position, the Mavericks will basically have no offensive power in the fourth position.
Carlisle looked at Yiyang, and the two confirmed their eyes. Although I don’t know if it will work, one day Carlisle must let him try. That being the case, let it be today.
“Rudy, take off your training suit.”
Mourin in the reporter area behind the basketball hoop finally saw that Rudy Gay, the guy who was forgotten in the corner, stood up.
Can Gay, a former quasi-all-star forward, merge with the Mavericks system led by Yiyang, can it spark any sparks? Yiyang, I hope you didn’t fool me.
