Chapter 875
Chapter 866 : This is the inside advantage
After Gobert’s performance was not satisfactory, the intensity of the Western Conference Finals was unmatched in the regular season. However, Gobert now has no time to transition to the regular season.
But this guy still didn’t give up, Rudy Gobert’s biggest trait is to like to win and make people shut up. Gobert’s cover was still active. This time, he slightly recovered some tacit understanding with Yiyang. The screen is not perfect, but it’s a lot better than just now.
Klay Thompson was slightly delayed, but still was not completely thrown off. But this time, Yiyang didn’t shoot directly either. He made a fake shot and lied to Thompson’s center of gravity and then went straight to the penalty area.
Drummond Green immediately threw Gobert to the basket to make up. Gobert had almost no role to play, even if he had dreamed of being a marksman since he was a child, Gobert did not have the talent to become a shooter. Green played the Mavericks the most. Whether it’s Mitchell or Yiyang, he is very happy to offer a hot shot!
Green’s retreat speed is very fast, and Yiyang has no room for action at all. But the Dallas No. 1 is still in danger, calmly throwing shots!
“Throw a shot! But it seems a bit crooked!”
Before the narrator’s voice fell. Rudy Gobert rose from behind Drummond Green and stretched his arms. Under the horrified eyes of everyone, the tower of suffocation vigorously buckled the ball into the frame!
“Relay in the air! Rudy Gobert scored the first goal of the game for the Dallas Mavericks! Green missed the other, he defended Yiyang, but missed Gobert. Look at him, this guy seems to have never It’s the same as leaving the team. The aerial cooperation between him and Yiyang is still so perfect!”
Gobert roared after the goal, and all the power in this guy burst out.
“Welcome back, buddy.” Yiyang and Gobert gave a high-five, this guy is an explosive. It is usually there, as if there is no threat. But if someone helps him ignite the fuse, then wait for the injury!
There is no doubt that Yiyang is the one who ignited Gobert’s “lead”. A relay in the air is enough to make Gobert’s emotions high.
On the subsequent offense, Green gave Curry a screen, and Curry planned to bypass the screen and immediately shot from the three-point line. This is the usual tactic of the Warriors, and for others, this tactic simply won’t work. But for Curry, who can make a shot with only a little space, this tactic is quite deadly.
This is why many teams imitate the Warriors but fail to succeed at all. The Warriors’ success is not only a good system, you also have to have players who can match the system.
With the same tactic, Curry can make a shot, but it won’t work for someone else.
But Yiyang’s defense was extremely active. Seeing that he couldn’t get around the screen for the first time, Yiyang still stretched out a hand hard to interfere with Curry’s sight when he was blocked by Green.
Curry was so delayed that he didn’t make the first move, but one step more. In this step, Yiyang was forced to come up, and the space in Curry disappeared instantly!
In the eyes of the fans, this is just another common defense. But only the players who played on the court knew how exquisite Yiyang’s defense this time was!
It is not without reason that Yiyang can become the only defender after Payton to win the best defensive player award.
Seeing that there was no shooting opportunity, Curry didn’t dare to delay the fighter, and immediately passed the ball to the ground and sent it to Green, who cut to the basket after the screen.
When Green received the basketball, he greeted him with his elbow and hit Gobert **** the ribs! Since Green started three steps with the ball, this elbow stroke is difficult to capture.
Gobert frowned, and this fellow Green was extremely versatile. What it feels like to be elbowed on the ribs is really indescribable without feeling it once. But Gobert didn’t back down, but pushed a step forward!
Green jumped up for a layup, but as soon as he lifted the ball, Gobert made a big shot!
The basketball flew straight to the bench and hit Armstrong in the face. It feels no better to be hit in the face by a fast-moving basketball than to get an elbow. But Armstrong was smiling with tears in his eyes.
“Did you see Rick, our guardian of the restricted area is back, hahahahaha!”
“Damn, Benjamin, he has a nosebleed, come on!”
The scrambled scenes of the Mavericks coaching staff made people smile, but Green certainly couldn’t laugh. Because after the blockade, Gobert still did not let him go, but stared at himself fiercely.
“You can’t scare me, man. Stop staring at me like that, I know you are just bluffing.” Green slapped Gobert to get the sideline ball.
But Gobert’s eyes were still sharp, ignoring Green’s trash talk.
The Warriors sent a sideline ball to attack again, and Durant’s mid-range jumper was steady into the net. I have to admit that this lineup of the Warriors is really too strong. Curry is guarded? It’s ok. Green was risked? does not matter. Some of Cole’s men are those who can stand up and score!
It seems that the Warriors still dominate the Mavericks, but the Mavericks are completely unafraid. It is impossible for a team like the Warriors to completely restrict them from not scoring for several minutes. But as long as you are on the right track, there is no problem!
In the next round, Yiyang and Gobert repeated their old tricks and used the pick and roll to get a chance.
In the third attack, Gobert’s pick-and-roll was finally perfect! The position, timing and blocking were just right, and he completely stopped Klay Thompson!
Seizing the opportunity, Hayward quickly made the ball. Yiyang took the ball and shot, this time Thompson didn’t have time to pounce on defense! And Yiyang’s open three points, but there are few accidents.
Unsurprisingly, Yiyang’s long-range three-point shot passed through the net. The three-pointer is not the Warriors and Curry’s patent for a long time. The cooperation between Yiyang and Gobert was once again successful. This combination of big and small has given the Mavericks a sense of positional warfare.
“The beautiful three-pointer is still as steady as ever. We can see that there is no Rudy Gobert, the Mavericks are completely different. Before the Western Conference Finals, where did the Mavericks play a positional battle? The Spurs were killed by the Mavericks. Yes, Yiyang doesn’t give you a chance to land at all. The Blazers are completely messed up by the Mavericks and can only follow passively. But today, the Mavericks can be fast or slow. The offense is also very efficient. !”
“Yes, people say that big centers are something that is destined to be eliminated by the times. But the rise of a new generation of centers undoubtedly broke this nonsense! Look at the changes Rudy has brought to the Mavericks. This is anything else. Player degrees can’t do it!”
Gobert has already begun to adapt to the game, and it is still a game of this level in the Western Conference Finals. French coach Vincent Collet smiled triumphantly and said: Look, these are just the beginning!
Yiyang’s three-pointer narrowed the point difference to only three points. Yiyang’s defense against Curry is still very tight, not to mention that Curry is now shooting, even trying to catch the ball is difficult.
Iguodala was a little bit embarrassed from outside the three-point line. He didn’t know who to pass the ball to, because it was obvious that the Mavericks’ defensive strength was on the rise.
In the end, Iguodala had to fight Durant. Durant’s breakthrough made Hayward very distressed. After all, the height of the two was so different. Once Durant took a step, Hayward would be difficult to stop.
This is also the case this time, Hayward is close to Durant, but Durant’s level of scorer, as long as you can not stay in front of him, it will be of no avail.
Durant took two steps to make a layup, and Gobert’s defensive position was very good. He waited a little bit in front of the reasonable collision zone, waiting for Durant to come up and interfere!
This position not only prevents Durant from shooting suddenly, but also prevents Durant from getting too close to the basket. Faced with Gobert’s defensive range, Durant felt a little strenuous and had to increase the arc!
In this way, under Gobert’s perfect defense, Durant missed a layup! The duck in your hand just flew off like this, it must be like this!
“Missed a layup! Haha, the Mavericks’ hardest hit area has now become a no-fly zone! It is obviously not a wise choice to shoot close to the basket!”
Gobert smiled himself, and immediately after grabbing the rebound, he made a long pass from the backcourt. Sure enough, Yiyang had already rushed to the forefront. Curry reached out from behind to grab Yiyang’s ball, but Yiyang still dunked, 7 to 8, only one point left! At this time the referee blew his whistle, two plus one!
Gobert excitedly rushed up and hammered Yiyang’s chest. The guy Curry was very embarrassed on the defensive end just now, and Yiyang was committed for any foul!
And Gobert? He has found a familiar feeling, this is the rhythm of his game!
Gobert is the kind of game player The so-called game player is the kind that gets excited the more you play, and the better the state you play!
With the endless shouts of “MVP” from the Mavericks fans, Yiyang made a penalty and evened the score. At this time, Steve Kerr called the first timeout of the game.
The lens was given to Drummond Green, the face of this big mouth was dull. Obviously, his remarks before the game are seriously inconsistent with the current situation. Inside, the Mavericks have completely suppressed the Warriors!
“Now no one will doubt that Rudy was selected as the best defensive player nomination list. Judging from the performance of just a few minutes, Rudy is still the same Rudy. Although he missed a lot in the regular season, he is indeed qualified!” French commentary The players danced with joy, and of course he was happy to see his country’s players perform brilliantly in the NBA. They look at Rudy Gobert as if Chinese fans looked at Yao Ming.
“No, I still don’t think it’s right. Rudy shouldn’t be nominated, but should give this award directly to him!”
Vincent Collet is really not humble with the players of his national team.
