Chapter 219 4-2 Mavericks advanced!
Time slowly came to the third day, and the Rockets' opponents hadn't come out yet. After the Thunder returned to the home court in the last game, they broke out all over again. When the score fell behind in the last quarter, they actually relied on Durant. Take the calf.
The Thunder narrowly won the game 116:114 at home. If it wasn't for Marion's final lore miss, maybe today's game would be the Rockets and the Mavericks, but it doesn't matter if the Mavericks lose, so the Rockets will have more More rest time.
After training in the Toyota Center for a whole day, Adelman finally kept the players. Today is the game between the Mavericks and the Thunder. The reason why Adelman kept everyone is obvious. He is ready to let the players stay with him Watch the game.
In this way, knowing yourself and the enemy can lead to a hundred battles. Adelman still understands these reasons very well. In the last summer, he had to leave Hayward at home and everyone went to Adelman's house.
In the evening, the game officially started, and it was still the pair of Barkley and Smith who explained the game.
"Hey, Jazz, who do you think will win this game? I am very optimistic about the Thunder. Durant's final performance in the last game was simply perfect. He scored 2 points in 6 minutes and defeated the Mavericks in one fell swoop. He is a man who has the title of God of Death." Smith immediately sided with the Thunder, and Barkley had no choice but to side with the Mavericks.
"No, no, let's look at the big score. Now the Mavericks' 3-2 victory is higher than the Thunder, okay? I think the performance of the Mavericks is truly impeccable, and they shot their opponents to death. How dare you Believe it." Barkley said shaking his head.
And Smith is not convinced, you said that you are a living shot to kill your opponent, don't you know that you can't win the championship by shooting the ball?
"Hey, hey, you can't win the championship with shooting, okay? Let's look at the Thunder again. Both Westbrook and Ibaka are All-Star players. I don't believe the Mavericks can resist this kind of performance. Let’s live with them, let alone whose home field this is.”
"So what about the All-Star level? It's just their potential, understand? How can the Mavericks be resisted by a group of young people? The Mavericks obviously slacked off in the last game. I believe they will win this battle of life and death." .”
As they talked, the two commentators began to argue again, and all the Rockets players rolled their eyes, especially Yao Ming. You must know that Yao Ming was still very unhappy when Barkley didn't think highly of him.
The game started slowly, the Mavericks jumped to the ball, but they started to change their style of play at the beginning. Instead of looking for opportunities to shoot from the outside like in the previous game, they let the old driver and Chandler inside start a fierce attack.
"It seems that they are going to take advantage of the Thunder's weakness in this game. Although the current Thunder has an excellent backcourt configuration, Ibaka is the only one supporting the inside line. Chandler + Dirk's Combination, not many teams in this league can resist them." Adelman shook his head and said.
And the situation on the court was just as Adelman said, after the Mavericks launched an inside offensive, the Thunder's score was pulled away in just half a quarter.
14:9
The Mavericks' pitchers also focused all their attention on defense after not attacking. Durant and Martin misfired one after another, and the only nine points were basically scored by Westbrook's breakthrough.
During the regular rotation time, the Mavericks called a timeout, and the two sides substituted. It could be seen that the Thunder coach was very anxious, and kept pointing and drawing with the tactical board.
The game restarted, the Thunder's lineup remained unchanged, the five starters were still on the field, but the Mavericks left Dirk and Kidd behind, and the game continued.
After Dirk went off the field, the Mavericks began to switch strategies. Outside shooters fired again, and Chandler also began to wander around the perimeter to create opportunities for his teammates to cover.
"It's really accurate. Did they hide their strength during the regular season? They haven't been so accurate in the regular season, have they?" Harden said suspiciously.
"No, no, it shouldn't be possible to hide your strength. Look at the ranking of the Mavericks, sixth! And the seventh and eighth are still chasing so closely. It should be impossible to hide your strength." Adelman said slowly. Said.
"But the playoffs and the regular season have changed too much. Look, he scored again! My God, Durant has already defended the ball well, and he still scored!" Harden pointed out. Said out loud while watching TV.
"Maybe the feeling is coming." Yao Ming on the side couldn't help frowning and said at this moment.
As the game continued, it could be seen on TV how hard the Mavericks and the Thunder were fighting. There was no shortage of physical confrontations. Anyway, neither of the layups was easy.
At the end of halftime, Adelman couldn't help but looked at the crowd with extremely serious faces, "What do you think? Facing these two teams."
"Difficult to play, very difficult to play. Compared with the Jazz's defense, the defense of these two teams has obviously stepped up to a higher level. It can be said that we played against the Jazz too easily." Harden was the first to speak. His face was a little ugly.
I thought I should be able to relax after playing the Jazz. After all, the Jazz is also a famous defensive team, but now it is really incomparable!Compared with the defense of the Mavericks and the Thunder, it is simply not at the same level!
Maybe it's because of the Jazz's team atmosphere, or maybe it's because they don't have a backbone on the court. Anyway, the Jazz's defense is really bad, maybe it's better than the regular season defense.
"Yes, the defense is strong and the offense is good. Before we won the Mavericks because they misfired from the outside, but if they fire from the outside, it is really difficult to play, and more importantly, they are not worse than the inside. Our insiders, Dirk and Chandler, are still in their prime." Then Yao Ming expressed his thoughts.
I looked at Harden and Yao Ming, are these two here to grab lines?You must know that he thought the same way before, but he was finished before he opened his mouth, which is very uncomfortable.
After a long time, seeing that no one had spoken, Adelman said, "Well, you are all right, but what do you think should be done against the Mavericks, please express your own opinions."
Everyone was silent, and finally Yao Ming stood up and expressed his opinion, "I think we should block their passing routes. When necessary, we can use Jordan's law to restrict them. If Dirk can kill us alone Just admit it."
"Yes, the idea is very good. Then let me talk about my idea. If it is correct, the Mavericks should win the game. Come and gather around and I will talk about my new tactics." Adelman said in said with praise.
Adelman began to explain tactics to everyone, and as time passed, the game on TV also came to an end. In the end, as Adelman expected, the Mavericks took the game 105:98.
In this way, the Mavericks are finally promoted, and the Mavericks are exhausted after six games. Next, the Mavericks will rest for three days, and then they will visit the Toyota Center to challenge the Rockets.
