Chapter 831 Sudden Arrival
Against the Warriors, it is the most difficult series for the Mavericks this season.
In the Eastern Conference finals, no matter who wins, it is unrealistic to cause a lot of trouble for the Mavericks in the end. In other words, as long as they defeat the Warriors, there is [-]% hope for this year's championship.
The result is the same for the Warriors.
When the Mavericks analyzed the Warriors, the Warriors also analyzed the Mavericks.
"Bruce Qin must pay great attention to this point. If necessary, he can let others go. Nurkic and Mitchell's shots are not stable enough. Especially Mitchell, although he performed well, he is still a rookie. As long as he dares to make crazy shots, we can win."
"Kevin, you need to take on more important tasks on both ends of the offense and defense. Paul George is not easy to deal with."
Steve Kerr puts the heavy load on Kevin Durant.
The rest of the Warriors were silent.
The Warriors played a wonderful offense in the past few seasons, but they failed to win the championship, so they later attracted Kevin Durant to join.
Up to now, it is hard to say who is the boss of the Warriors.
Kevin Durant's fame and strength are too strong, and his tactical status even overwhelms the combination of Curry and Klay Thompson, faintly showing the momentum of the team boss.
It would be unbearable for anyone else.
In the first season of the Durant Mavericks, Qin Yang gave up the ball, but his position in the team did not. He is still the leader of the team, there is no doubt about it.
In the second season, when Durant wanted to grab a position, he was directly suppressed by Qin Yang.
But with the Warriors, it's hard.
Curry has a high emotional intelligence and is willing to make sacrifices, while Steve Kerr wants to make such a change. Durant's personal ability is too strong, even if it affects the team's tactics, he will not hesitate, and the only opponent of the team has already left the team.
That's Luke Walton, going to head coach the Lakers.
Luke Walton's career was not very good, but his golf quotient was very high. When he entered the Warriors, he gave the team many interesting suggestions.
Although his reputation is not obvious, Walton has a great effect on the Warriors.
If Wharton is there, it is certainly not recommended that the Warriors give up the current advantage of the Splash Brothers.
……
The two teams haven't opened up yet, but the atmosphere is enough.
Two days before the game, Kevin Durant was interviewed by the media and expressed his excitement: "Of course this will be a very exciting series. I am looking forward to it. I have been teammates with Bruce. I know his strengths, but it is precisely because of this that people feel excited."
"I have no doubts that we can win."
Kevin Durant is really confident.
Kevin Durant's statistics are not good enough this season, much worse than Qin Yang's. That's why Durant is confident, because during his two years with the Mavericks, Durant thinks he has learned to lead the team.
Data does not represent strength.
This is what Kevin Durant realized. Because of this, Qin Yang averaged 30+10 per game this season, but Durant thinks that the Mavericks are worse than last year.
There is nothing wrong with this statement.
But sometimes that's not the case at all.
The data is too good, but it affects the performance of the team. It is for most superstars such as Westbrook. For Qin Yang, the data is excellent, but it is of great help to the team, because Qin Yang is good at playing off the ball. In this regard, Stephen Curry is also doing well.
But Stephen Curry is different from Qin Yang. Curry's play is too simple. Although the breakthrough is also excellent and the three-pointer is accurate, but other aspects are too flawed.
Defensively, it is destined to be a weakness. On the offensive end, there are not enough mid-range shots.
It's not that Curry is not good at mid-range, but compared to finishing offense at the basket and shooting three-pointers, Curry's mid-range is definitely a weakness.
Qin Yang has no such weakness.
Curry's performance sometimes relies too much on the team's tactics, while Qin Yang's performance strengthens the team's overall strength.
This is the difference.
On May 5, in the first game of the Western Conference Finals, the Mavericks played against the Warriors at home.
Warming up before the game, Qin Yang went to the Warriors to say hello.
Although there may be conflicts in the game, and even unpleasant troubles, after the game, no one will care.
This is the beauty of competitive sports.
Several members of the Warriors are very familiar with Qin Yang. They have practiced together many times during the off-season, so they are old acquaintances.But before the game, everyone looked serious and didn't mean to be joking.
on the commentary.
Charles Barkley said enthusiastically: "This round of the series may be the most exciting round of the playoffs this season. Both the Warriors and the Mavericks have absolutely swept the championship in previous years. It's a pity that they met their opponents."
"That's right." Kenny Smith couldn't help admiring, "Including the eliminated Rockets, the lineup is very strong. It can even be said that the Rockets were absolutely capable of crushing the championship three or four years ago. In the current NBA, it is too difficult to win the championship."
O'Neill said:
"Anyway, I hope Stephen Curry and Bruce Chin feel better, so the fans will see a fantastic show."
Regarding this round of the series, the league has been hyped for a long time.
The attention of fans is also ranked first.
Qin Yang was practicing shooting, his face expressionless.
The more he got to this kind of competition, the more stable Qin Yang's performance was, but for this game, Qin Yang had a vague premonition of misfortune.
The Mavericks started, Paul George, Qin Yang, Mitchell, Nurkic, Gobert.
Except for Mitchell's start, which is a bit surprising, other positions are expected.
The Warriors started, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Bogut.
Bogut has suffered frequent serious injuries in the past two seasons, but after recovering from his injuries, he is still very strong, especially on the defensive end, ranking around the top ten inside the league.
The two sides jumped the ball, and Gobert dialed the ball without any suspense.
The Mavericks attack.
Qin Yang dribbled the ball across half court, and Nurkic made a screen. After the screen, Kevin Durant assisted in the defense. The Warriors' defense was very strategic, covering one layer after another, and did not give Qin Yang any chance.
After Klay Thompson matched up, it was Durant.
But then, Paul George picked and rolled again, Qin Yang broke through to the basket, Nurkic got stuck, and Qin Yang scored an easy layup.
Drummond Green was a step slower, and Qin Yang scored an easy layup with rhythm.
Warriors attack.
Durant did not attack with the ball, but took a high position to attract defense after the pick-and-roll. Klay Thompson picked and rolled, and Curry broke through with the screen. After an emergency stop, he pulled the ball and stepped back to make a three-pointer.
Mitchell defended too hard and was swayed by Curry.
Whoosh!
A three-pointer was scored.
At the beginning of the game, both teams on the offensive end worked hard.
