The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 352, Successful Mom.

The Mavericks attack.

Li Senlin watched Nowitzki walk halfway, and knew that the Mavericks were about to suppress the offensive rhythm.

The Mavericks and the Suns play at two extremes.

This made Thunder a little uncomfortable.

When fighting with the sun, you are cool and I am cool together.

Anyway, "Boom boom boom!"

Even if the Suns players lose, they lose heartily.

How is it now.

The next person, if you score a ball, you will die.

Off the court, Coach Carlisle looked at the players on the court with a smile on his face.

It seemed that everything Lei Ting arranged was under his control.

Before the game, Carlisle habitually began to save his character.

He praised the Thunder's three juniors to the media, saying that these three are all historical playoff rookies and superstars. He also praised Brooks for his high level of coaching, and he wants to learn from Brooks.

Carlisle's tactical system is an open system, with free conduction of the ball, one big leading four small, and the use of players is more flexible.

The offense is based on the driver as the axis to launch the offense, let the driver go out to pick and roll or let the driver displace the singles or let the driver play a role in the low position, making full use of the various abilities of the driver on the offensive end.

This attack.

Nowitzki again gets Kidd's pass at the free throw line.

Li Senlin hurried up to double-team.

The old driver quickly found Marion who cut inside after taking a shot.

Marion made a layup.

Chandler's blocking cover.

But the offensive rebound was taken by Dampier.

Dampier hit the basket and scored.

0:6.

"Cat cat!"

Coach Brooks couldn't help it.

The three offenses failed to score, and the defense failed to defend.

The disadvantage of playing away games was immediately exposed.

Everyone knows that this is the Western Conference semifinals, but they just can't concentrate, the defense can't keep up, and the rebounds can't protect them.

"GOGOGO, guys, pick up your spirits, this is the playoffs, not the regular season, Lee, you lay low, Russell and KD break through, grab the rebound and immediately go fast break, the two guards have to lead the rhythm Get up, don't play with them. Focus on defense, Tyson and Sergey, watch your feet move."

Brooks yelled at the players surrounding him.

Unfortunately.

The Thunder's timeout was useless.

After the pause comes back.

Durant still performed poorly. Under the siege of the Mavericks, it was difficult for Durant to touch the ball. He made mistakes on two consecutive offenses: the first time he went down the pick-and-roll with Ibaka and then the ball was unstable. , was intercepted by the Mavericks to complete the fast break, and the second time he faced Butler intending to singles, he was intercepted by the latter.

After nearly 7 minutes in the first quarter, Durant made his first field goal.

In the round after Durant made the hit, Nowitzki turned over at the basket at 45 degrees and hit a difficult score. This ball is equivalent to no use.

Seeing that the driver was in a hot state, the Thunder decisively double-teamed Nuo Tianwang, and at the same time replaced Durant and Ibaka who were not feeling good.

The newly debuted Harden attracted the Mavericks' defense, allowing Chandler to greatly increase the space under the basket, and successfully lobbed in the hinterland of the penalty area one after another.

Li Senlin and Westbrook also struck iron and fell into a strange circle.

Li Senlin was defended by Marion for three consecutive low post attacks, scoring 5 points on 0 of 2 shots in the first quarter.

Westbrook was not much better, the breakthrough was blocked, the rhythm was wrong, and he scored 6 points on 1 of 3 shots in the first quarter.

Durant scored 4 points and 4 rebounds in the first quarter, but had 3 turnovers.

In the first quarter, the Thunder's three players scored 9 points in total.
Nowitzki scored 8 points and 4 rebounds.

This also caused the Thunder to fall behind 19 to 27 in the first quarter.

The biggest reason for the difference in the core performances of the two sides in the first quarter was that Nuo Tianwang attacked in an area he was familiar with, and the reason why the Thunder's players were so strong was that they were all pushed by the Mavericks to shoot as far away from the basket as possible.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Durant didn't play, and the Thunder focused on Li Senlin and Westbrook, taking the lead in increasing their offensive speed.

The Mavericks were caught off guard, and the Thunder switched offense and defense for three consecutive waves. However, Ibaka ended these fast breaks.

After entering the rotation lineup, Mavericks substitute center Haywood showed off again and again, helping the Mavericks to establish a 6-point lead again. .

At 7 minutes and 32 seconds of this section, Durant came on the stage and continued to fire for the Thunder through long-range shots in time.

Nowitzki mainly helped the team on the offensive end, making consecutive shots, but his teammates had a low success rate except for Haywood, who repeatedly missed the basket. The team's shooting rate in the second quarter was only 43.2%.

Although Durant is not as dazzling as Nowitzki, the other two of the three young men showed their power at the end of the second quarter. Westbrook and Li Senlin stepped up the breakthrough and scored the ball to let the role players show off. Draw a foul.

Therefore, the difference between the two sides in the second quarter did not widen due to the different performances of the main players.

On the final attack of the first half, Nowitzki saw that Harden was manning him with a misplaced defense, and he decisively held the ball and forced a breakthrough to complete 2+1.

上半场结束时司机9投7中拿下19分、6个篮板，威斯布鲁克拿下6分4个篮板，李森林8分2助攻。

Midfield, away team dressing room.

Brooks grimaced.

Durant's touch is too bad, and Li Senlin and Westbrook's offensive efficiency is not high. Li Senlin took 13 shots and only hit 2 goals.

In the second half, they will fight again in different places.

Nowitzki is still hot.

Although Durant's first-attack success rate is still not high, he keeps making fouls and free throws.

Chandler defended Dirk himself, and the Mavericks' leading scorer was slightly restricted.

After Nowitzki was blocked, the Mavericks' countermeasure was Butler's singles, which continued to open the score.

When Gibson replaced Chandler, who was troubled by fouls, Nowtian Wang's chance came again.

The driver received the ball easily in the interior many times, first caused Ibaka to foul and scored two points with free throws, and then hit the signature mid-range shot.

The Thunder had to call a timeout again, because they were already 11 points behind at this time.

After the restart, Ibaka also received his 4th personal foul and went down again. Dirk completed 2+1.

In the final quarter, Dirk's teammates finally regained their touch, and the whole team was fully fired.

The passes of Durant, Li Senlin, and Westbrook were cut off, and they fell into a situation of fighting alone.

As a result, it is always impossible to reverse the difference.

In the end, the Thunder lost 98:106.

The Thunder suffered an away defeat in the first game! ! !

This is their first loss in the playoffs! !Contrary to everyone's expectations, the sweep of the sun made them a little complacent.

杜兰特全场得到27分、8个篮板，仍是雷霆的中流砥柱，伊巴卡11分2盖帽，钱德勒10分8篮板。

Li Senlin made 22 of 4 shots and scored 14 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. His offensive state was sluggish, and Marion's defensive strength was also very high, which was basically restricted.

威斯布鲁克也好不到哪里去，全场18投3中，拿下10分11篮板10助攻8失误的豪华准四双，他第三节自投自抢的进攻篮板就有3个。

Nowitzki tore off the "soft guy" label in the playoffs, not only scored 36 points, but also walked to the free throw line 12 times, full of lethality.

Terry scored 25 points and Kidd had 8 points and 13 assists.

In addition to Nuo Tianwang's miraculous performance, the Mavericks' victory in this game also relied on the timely recovery of his other teammates. Terry and Butler continued to fire in time to allow the Mavericks to maintain their advantage when Dirk was away.

after the game.

Li Senlin, Westbrook, and Durant left the press conference with gloomy faces, leaving Brooks there, and Brooks rarely criticized the team's inattention.

Mavericks coach Carlisle started bragging after the game to reporters.

"Haha, Dirk did a very good job today, and our team executed tactics perfectly. I am very honored to coach these players."

"In the last four or five minutes, we did really well defensively."

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket.
