Stackhouse seldom played against Stephen in defense, so he was a little unbelieving. Faced with Stephen's breakthrough, Josh Howard didn't dare to resist. He even wanted to give it a try, so he was easily defeated by Stephen. Squeezed aside, then in order to stop Stephen's attack, Han Ran stretched out his hand and pulled Stephen.

The referees intended to stare at Stephen, and sentenced so many fouls to Stephen's opponents, they wanted to find a balance on Stephen, and also gave Stephen a foul, so as not to be criticized after the game. Josh Howard made such an obvious foul. If he didn't brag, he would be a little sorry for their professional ethics. So after half a minute, the Mavericks received another foul.

Now "Little General" Johnson is not going to do it. Just about to roar at the technical seat, Mark Cuban hastily stopped him, and then got on himself. In order to communicate with the referee on the spot, Mark Cuban specially registered an assistant referee Otherwise, as a spectator, he is not qualified to communicate with the referee or the technical platform. He was afraid that Johnson would get another technical foul, so he went on it himself.

Naturally, the communication ended in vain. There was no doubt about the foul, but their purpose of putting pressure on the referee was achieved. Duncan also came over and whispered to remind Stephen, pay attention to your own movements. Now you are the referee's key observation object. Proceed with caution.

Stephen nodded to indicate that he knows that the referee's advantage is not so easy to take advantage of. Why did the referee favor you for no reason, and gave the opponent four fouls in less than half a quarter. Stephen is already very satisfied. The number of fouls by the Mavericks has already If there is another foul, free throws will be made, but the Spurs haven't even committed a single foul yet.

The Mavericks naturally felt that they were not angry, but Stephen restrained his actions in the offense. In defense, because he was facing Stackhouse, Stephen did not have as much pressure as Josh Howard. After all, Stark House is getting older, and his breakthrough lethality is much worse.

At this time, the two sides entered into a tug-of-war, and the situation of the game was as expected by the two coaches before the game. The Spurs were superior in defense, and the Mavericks were good at offense. Difficult solution.

At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs still led by six points. The score of the two sides was 27 to 21, and the scores in a single quarter dropped. After a short rest, the two sides returned to the field and started the second quarter. , At the same time, both sides have also made personnel adjustments.

For the Spurs, Stephen was off and Ginobili was replaced, Bruce Bowen was off and Michael Finley was replaced, Nesterovich was off and Robert Horry was replaced, and the Mavericks were Dan. Peele replaced Diop and Griffin replaced Jason Terry.

The lineup has been changed, but the strategic thinking of both sides has not changed. The Spurs still insist on sticking to the idea, while the Mavericks continue to carry out the offense to the end. The solidity of the defense also surprised them.

Originally, what "Little General" Johnson said to them when he arranged it was that if the score cannot be opened in one go at the beginning of the game, then wait until the second quarter, when the Spurs replace the bench, and take advantage of the Spurs' bench to gain a foothold. Not steady force.

However, Stephen made several fouls on Josh Howard at the beginning of the game, forcing Josh Howard to leave the field early. Avery Johnson had to replace Stackhouse in advance. , and now had to be forced to change, and although the defensive ability of the Spurs' bench lineup dropped a little, Stephen also went to rest, but the Spurs' offensive ability has also improved a lot.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Mavericks not only failed to narrow the gap, but were expanded to eight points. However, at this time, the Spurs replaced Duncan and replaced him with Muhammad. Among the inside players, only Duncan can give him a certain amount of defensive pressure, and no one else can.

Nowitzki first made a powerful three-pointer from the outside, then turned back and successfully steals in the hands of Muhammad, and then followed his teammates for a fast break, and his huge body turned into a roaring German chariot He got to the basket, dunked and drew a foul from Robert Horry.

After being hit, Robert Horry seemed a little unwell. He lay there for a long time without getting up. After the team doctor went to check him, he was asked to rest. Popovich replaced Oberto with a dark face. Duncan had just It doesn't take more than 2 minutes to go down, and Duncan can't be replaced again, but in this way, there will be no high-level support, which will be a great harm to the team's offense.

The game continued, Nowitzki made a free throw, and the score was reduced to two points at once. After returning, the Spurs' offense really appeared chaotic. Without the cover of Duncan and Robert Horry, Tony Parker's breakthrough seemed to be out of sight. Similarly, directly into the Mavericks' position, the ball was almost played out by Dampier.

It was Ginobili who reacted quickly and saved the ball back, but after the ball reached Michael Finley, Michael Finley directly chose a three-point shot. The ball was short and hit the outer edge of the basket directly, high After jumping up, Nowitzki grabbed him.

Facing Muhammad's defense, Nowitzki easily turned around and singled Muhammad with his back. A jumper hit, tying the score.

Popovich called a timeout without hesitation, then replaced Tony Parker with Stephen, and asked Stephen to help defend Nowitzki. After Stephen came on the field, he completed the task of defending Nowitzki very well. But he also let go of Griffin. Griffin suddenly felt explosive, and he made a three-pointer and a two-pointer from the outside. When Ginobili switched to defend him, Devin Harris used his speed to attack the basket. He scored two points and caused Oberto's foul.

For a while, the Mavericks' offense seemed to be blooming everywhere. The Spurs' defense was in a hurry. Popovich watched from the sidelines but couldn't do anything. Such a lineup was inherently flawed. Stephen went to help defend Nowitzki. , will inevitably short a person from the Mavericks. At this time, we can only pray that he misses the shot. If he can make the shot, there is no other way.

Fortunately, it was not a few minutes before the end of the first half. Popovich looked at the time and then at the players sitting below. Robert Horry hadn't recovered yet, and Duncan had just rested for a while. It's useless to go up, so we should wait until the end of the first half to adjust.

By the end of the first half, the Spurs had already fallen behind by six points, barely within the acceptable range of Popovich. He originally thought it would be within five points, but the Mavericks' last five-second attack came after When the time was about to end, Nowitzki threw the ball to the basket without any room to shoot. Who knew that the ball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket.

During the intermission, Popovich had already thought about the countermeasures for the second half, so he didn't arrange any tactics, but let the players rest at ease, but Avery Johnson encouraged the players while arranging the second half How to fight.

In the second half, Avery Johnson once again found that his adjustment seemed to be guessed by the local again. The Spurs once again put up the defensive lineup at the beginning of the game, and then he had to sit and watch the Mavericks go to the Spurs over and over again. The defensive line launched an impact, but there was no good effect.

Stephen and Bruce Bowen locked down the Mavericks' perimeter offense, and Nowitzki's performance is generally not that good when Duncan is on the court at this point. If he can only shoot from the outside when he gets inside, what is the difference between him and those big pitchers.

What the Mavericks wanted was to launch a fierce attack on the Spurs from the very beginning and widen the score gap in one fell swoop, but just like at the beginning of the game, they overestimated their own offense and underestimated the Spurs' defense. If falling into a trap is depressing, falling into the same trap twice in a row is not just depressing, but maddening.

Now "Little General" Johnson doesn't have the temperament of a general at all. He stands on the sidelines and keeps walking up and down. Although the gap in the game has not been narrowed, judging by the situation on the court, he has slowly entered the rhythm of the Spurs. Among them, if the stalemate continues, the Mavericks will only suffer.

2 minutes have passed, and the game is still deadlocked. Now it depends on which player from that team can stand up first to break the deadlock. It is said that the regular season is a stage for star players, and the playoffs are for superstars Now it depends on who can display the ability of a super player.

Duncan has this ability, but that refers to Duncan who is two years younger and has no physical injuries. Now Duncan has already made him devote almost all his energy to defending Nowitzki, and Nowitzki also has this ability, but Under Duncan's defense, his performance is not as easy as that.

After the league modified the rules of perimeter defense, breakthroughs with the ball became the best choice when the situation was ineffective. At this time, Popovich also issued instructions on the sidelines to break through desperately. After receiving the coach's instructions , Stephen took the ball and pointed the target at Josh Howard. After this guy came back on the court, he didn't shrink back because of three fouls on his back. Instead, he caused a lot of trouble for Stephen's offense. Now the team needs to stand up by itself , Stephen is going to use him as a sacrificial flag for his own expedition. Stephen has learned the weapon of back-up singles from him. Now, according to the rules, he will try another powerful weapon of his own on you.

Swish... Swish..., Stephen shook twice in a row, Josh Howard was unmoved, Stephen suddenly took a step forward, and when Josh Howard leaned over, Stephen suddenly turned around, saying it was a turn, but in fact Stephen's feet It didn't make much movement, but pushed Josh Howard aside with the strength of his body. He couldn't push people with his hands. Pushing people with his back is not a foul. Then Stephen rushed towards the basket, and suddenly A figure appeared in front of Stephen, and Stephen rushed over without any intention of stopping. Just before the body contacted, he stretched out his hand and threw the ball, and then the whistle sounded.
