full bloom
The Mavericks got back to the situation, and the situation on the court was not very good for the Warriors. Nelson Jr. said with some concern: "The Dallas have changed a lot. I think we should call a timeout. If we still look at them from the past, there will definitely be problems in the end."
Old Nelson smiled contemptuously. After nearly half of the game, the old coach never stood up and sat on the bench and watched the game leisurely.
Seeing that his father ignored him, Little Nelson pulled the old coach and said anxiously: "We need to change the tactics..."
The old man frowned and looked at Nelson and said, "Calm down, OK? As a coach, you must calm down no matter what the situation on the field is. This is what I have taught you how many times? And, why do we change our tactics? Their core has been locked, and we have already won without a doubt."
Indeed, the Warriors don't need to pause, so the players on the court adjust their tactics and launch defense.
The Mavericks failed to succeed in several tentative attacks. The two teams then fought for nearly a minute. With 2 minutes and 3 seconds left in the quarter, Carter, who had just made a breakthrough layup and caused Chandler to foul, and scored points with free throws and free throws. The Warriors surpassed again 37-6.
The Warriors began to gradually put away the power placed on the defensive end, and they slowly strengthened their offense. Chamberlain and West also made a hit one after another. With BB seconds left in this quarter, Carter made a three-pointer, and the Warriors led by 4,740, winning the lead.
At the last moment, the Mavericks called a timeout, and Nowitzki finally broke out. After returning, he suddenly made a strong move and caused Evans to foul. In this way, he made two free throws and the Warriors narrowed the gap to 6 points.
Both teams are very familiar with each other. Carlisle is worthy of being a famous coach. After he joined the Mavericks, he has changed the style of this team a lot, especially after getting Kidd and Chandler. Although the Mavericks are now nowtsky as the core, they do not rely solely on Nowitzki as before.
So, even though the German tanks performed poorly today, the Mavericks still bit the score.
In the second half of the third quarter, Kidd frequently passed the ball to his teammates. Heywood, who came on as a substitute, made a dunk at the basket. Terry made two shots and the Mavericks overtook the score twice.
However, the Warriors responded with a three-pointer, Curry made two three-pointers, still keeping the lead for the Warriors. With still two seconds left in this quarter, Chamberlain blocked Heywood's basket and took action. Curry dribbled the ball and launched a fast break, and Chamberlain followed closely to respond.
When he was almost at the basket, Curry, who was entangled with Kid, passed the ball to Chamberlain, and Chamberlain turned around and ended with a dunk, and the Warriors led 662.
After that, the two sides started a defensive battle again, and the score could not be opened for a long time. After the third quarter, the Warriors had the advantage with 267.
In the fourth quarter, both sides' performance was still lukewarm. They were both old teams in the playoffs. They both knew that stable defense could only defend the final victory. No one dared to easily advance, because once the opponent caught the loophole, it was likely to collapse in a short period of time.
With 7 minutes and 10 seconds left in the game, Nowitzki once again caused Evans to foul, he made two free throws, and the Mavericks tied the score to 8-0
The Warriors did not give them a chance to overtake. Chamberlain, who had previously focused on defense, suddenly turned to the offensive end, broke through Heywood at the basket and then took action, announcing his attitude of taking over the game with a 2l.
After that, Chamberlain made a high jump shot, covering Carter's breakthrough and dunked again. With 6 minutes and 46 seconds left in the quarter, after Carter missed the shot, Chamberlain jumped up and grabbed the rebound in the air and dunked. While scoring, Chandler also fouled, and scored a foul, and scored a free throw.
Chamberlain's performance was not over yet. After that, the strong shot at the basket caused Chandler to foul again. He made two free throws and then made a mid-range shot. At this critical moment, the Warriors scored a 20-for-one wave and gained an advantage with -0.
The Mavericks were forced to call twice in a minute, but they still failed to stop the Warriors' offensive. Carter then made one of two free throws, expanding the advantage to 13 points.
The game was still in 2 seconds, and the Mavericks only scored by Nowitzki, which was their first goal in the past 4 minutes.
With 1 minute left in the game, the Mavericks relied on Kidd's two ghostly steals to fight back, narrowing the gap to single digits.
After chasing the score to 9199, the Mavericks were already in trouble, the Warriors played steadily, Chamberlain attracted double teams and passed the ball to Ibaka, who was on the wing. Ibaka made a contribution to the mid-range shot and hit it directly, expanding the score advantage to double digits again.
The Mavericks' house was raining all the time, and they were determined to fight back, but Chandler dribbled the ball on the offensive end. The Warriors seized this opportunity and hit it with Chamberlain hooking the basket.
In the last thirty seconds, the Warriors' lead reached 2 points. Carlisle knew that the situation was hopeless, so he replaced the main force and admitted defeat in advance.
In the end, the Warriors won 10,695 points and won a good start to the Western Conference Finals.
At the post-match press conference, Nowitzki and Carlisle had a solemn expression, which was indeed the playoff team. Chamberlain and Nelson Old were much more relaxed. When they entered the court, they even laughed with their backs and ears. It seemed that they were enjoying the holiday rather than playing in the playoffs.
After all, he was a disciple trained by himself. Old Nelson is still very talented about German tanks. He went up and gave Nowitzki a comforting hug and said, "Come on, you have played a great season. It's not easy, I know, it's not easy."
Chamberlain and Carlisle shook hands in a friendly manner, and the latter whispered: "Boy, our boss asked me to tell you - are you interested in transferring?"
Chamberlain couldn't help laughing, while Carlisle frowned and said, "Listen to me, boy, I don't want to tempt you such as salary, status, and power of action. In fact, that's the stupidest. But do you think it's interesting to stay with the Warriors? You've only been in the league for four years, but you've already won two consecutive championships. Isn't this challenging for you? Don't you want to see a more beautiful scenery?"
I have to say that Carlisle was able to perfectly take over the mess left by General Johnson and quickly integrate the Mavericks into a powerful team that can sweep the Lakers. He has his strengths, such as his speaking skills are very high, and Chamberlain was really moved by him.
Yes, what Chamberlain needs now is not the maximum salary, nor the promise of the right to take action. He wants something more exciting
However, even if Chamberlain wanted to be excited, he did not intend to leave the Warriors. He was thinking, maybe the team could change the way they formed the team in the future.
Stimulated by this idea, Chamberlain's press conference was a little listless. He repeatedly emphasized, "We are going to build a dynasty this season, and there is nothing else to say.
After the game, he called Old Nelson, considered his vocabulary, and said, "H6, is our current salary level relatively high?"
Old Nelson frowned and said, "It's OK, it's acceptable. Although we spent enough money, we made a lot of money, and our boss can still withstand it."
Chamberlain said: "So, do you see if we can change our ideas for building a team in the future?"
"H6, this summer, how about you bring veterans like McGrady, O'Neal, and O'Neal Jr. to our team? We'll make up a star team from the 1990s, and I can guarantee that we can still win the championship."
Yes, this is what Chamberlain thought. He wanted more excitement. If he was surrounded by powerful players such as West, Curry, Carter, etc., what's the point of fighting? Why not gather those former All-Stars whose strength has declined and who are almost retired. Isn't it more interesting to play in this way?
Old Nelson's brows furrowed together. He looked at Chamberlain and said, "Save these things until summer. What you have to do now is to eliminate the Mavericks as soon as possible. They are the biggest stumbling blocks to our championship. I don't want any accidents."
Chamberlain patted his chest and said, "Look at me, there are three left, and they will be OK if they are lost."
The arrangements for the division finals were very tight. Only one day later, the Warriors and the Mavericks were about to start again.
The day before the two teams started, on June 19, the second match between the Heat and the Bulls started early. The Heat defeated the Bulls 2-75 away, and tied the Eastern Conference Finals to 1.
In this way, the Heat have won the home advantage, and they still have three home games, so the pressure is pushed to the Bulls.
In this game, LeBron James held his breath and wanted to avenge the last game, but the Bulls did a good job of limiting him in the first half. He relied on the fourth quarter to make efforts, scoring 2 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, becoming the biggest contributor to the team's victory.
In addition, Dwayne Wade scored 9 rebounds, Chris Bosh scored 10 points and B rebounds. The Heat bench, which has always been accustomed to losing streak, finally made a great appearance. Udunis Haslem performed well and scored 13 points.
Derek Ross scored 2l points for the Bulls, B assists and 6 rebounds, but only 7 of 2 shots, Lore points, Carlos Boozer scored 7 points and B rebounds
The Heat lost the first game, but they were not worried. They rose up many times this season after setbacks, whether in the regular season or the playoffs. The Heat played their strength in the second game. Although the overall score of the Big Three was not impressive, they did a good job on the defensive end and found the problem and successfully locked the Bulls' core Ross.
Before the Warriors started, Chamberlain and others were also talking about the game, from the locker room to the court.
Finally, when we were warming up, Curry made the final decision and said: "We hope the Bulls can advance, so that as long as the Mad Dog can see Rose to death, we can easily establish a dynasty."
West rolled his eyes and said, "No matter who it is, we will establish a dynasty, Ross? Ha, he is nothing."
Chamberlain patted his shoulder and exclaimed: "You are awesome, brother, the number two person on the NV rankings, aren't that fart in your mouth. I just like your arrogance and ignorance. If you keep it, you must show off until the end."
The Mavericks players were also warming up. Kidd looked at the Warriors. Chamberlain happened to notice, so he ran over and waved, "Hi, Bulls, hello."
Although the Mavericks have never been stronger this season, they have a good temper as they are all veterans, so they have no thorns. Chamberlain, the mortal enemy, came over, and they waved and then went their own way.
Chamberlain mainly looked for Kidd, he pulled the veteran to the sidelines and said mysteriously: "Jason, you should understand the current situation, right?"
Kid said inexplicably, "What do you want to explain?"
Chamberlain patted his shoulder and said, "Stop pretending, Jason, I know you want to win a championship, but the problem now is that you can't win the championship if you stay in Dallas, so, how about it, come to our team? Come on, win a championship this summer?"
If he is a more arrogant newcomer, he will definitely spit Chamberlain, but Kidd is an old ball player who has been in the league for nearly 20 years. He smiled unanimously and said: "I do want to win a championship, but I think I can get it in Dallas."
