new lord of the rings

Chapter 113 Step by step!

Game [-] between the Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks begins.

The fans of Golden State filled the Oracle Center early, and the last game made the fans of the Golden State Warriors hooked:

The dead five are like a storm, attacking like a fire, defending like a mountain, defeating the Dallas Mavericks by 23 points;
Mr. Zhang elegantly looks like Jordan with his back. He overwhelmed the Mavericks inside and led the pure rotation to defeat the Mavericks mixed lineup;

The Tsunami Brothers rained three-pointers and made the Mavericks look ashen. Curry, Thompson and Zhang Xin combined to score 79 points, 22 assists and 21 rebounds;
Zhang Gongzi played side by side with James in his playoff debut, scoring a triple-double of 32 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds, showing his dominance!

The first game was full of highlights. Some fans went home and watched the video back and forth several times. Some fans even downloaded the video and saved it on a hard drive. They thought it was a classic game worth repeating. video.

After the tempering of the first game, the players of both sides have entered the playoff state, and the Dallas Mavericks players are even more murderous. They are obviously worried about being slaughtered in the last game and want to get back in this game.

The Warriors want to keep their home court. If a victory is stolen by the Dallas Mavericks at home, the entire series will be very passive. In the playoffs, it is difficult to guarantee victory in an away game. It's the same for any team, and the Mavericks are not weak!
Nowitzki, Monta Ellis, Vince Carter, as long as any one breaks out, it will cause trouble for the Warriors.

Zhang Xin is very cautious, because before the 2016 championship, the warriors in the previous life were forced by waves and matured after losing Jingzhou carelessly. If Zhang Xin wants to become a warrior dynasty, he can't miss this year's championship. If you don't take the blame, you will be blamed. With him joining this year's Warriors, not to mention the championship, but if you don't even break through the Western Conference, Zhang Xin will never forgive yourself!

What's more, they lost their halberds in the first round, so before the game, Zhang Xin emphasized the importance of this game to his teammates time and time again. Although the Warriors are strong, they have not reached their peak. Green and Thompson are still in their growth stage. So you can't be too cautious.

Although Zhang Xin joined and forced them to enter the track early, there is a gap between one more year of training and one less year of training, so we must try our best to train in every game of the playoffs. Only when you reach the highest stage can you deal with all situations.

The value of Zhang Xin lies in his mature soul, neither arrogant nor impetuous in victory, neither arrogant nor impatient, he is cautious about the game, and will not appear impetuous as a young man.

Encouraged by Zhang Xin's vigilance, the warriors were full of murderous intent, staring at the Mavericks fiercely, as if they wanted to cook the calf from afar into a medium-rare steak and eat it alive.

Mavericks: ... Could it be that the Warriors just came out of a mental hospital...?
Game start.

Warriors regular starters, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Bogut, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green.

Dallas Mavericks: Monta Ellis, Jose Calderon, Shawn Marion, Dirk Nowitzki, Samuel Dumbert.

Samuel Dumbert and Andrew Bogut jump the ball in the middle circle, and the Mavericks have the ball.

As soon as the game started, the Warriors entered the state:

Curry led the defense against Jose Calderon, constantly giving physical confrontation, delaying Calderon from passing the frontcourt, and preventing him from organizing calmly;
Thompson, Barnes, and Green all followed their defenders closely, preventing them from easily receiving the ball, constantly squeezing, pressing, pushing, pulling, and pulling. Bogut blocked the middle, preventing the Mavericks from easily receiving the ball. air cut.

Calderon passed the ball to Monta Ellis with difficulty, and was almost intercepted by the pressing Thompson. Monta Ellis faced Thompson. Thompson has not grown a beard yet and looks very tender. Actually very young, born in 1990, only 24 years old this year.

Klay Thompson is expressionless and calm like a veteran on the court. Monta Ellis has seen Klay Thompson's defense in the last game. Monta Ellis is a bit annoyed. When he was in the Warriors, Klay Lai Thompson was only in his rookie season, and he didn't even make it into the main lineup, so he dared to be so rude to him now.

Monta Ellis felt very angry, and Montag, who doesn't talk too much, immediately put it into practice. Monta Ellis is a fast scoring combo guard, and his offensive choices are sometimes a little thoughtless, but his The pick-and-roll is also top-notch.

Monta Ellis called Samuel Dumbert to come up with a high pick-and-roll. The reason why he didn't call Nowitzki was because Green was defending Nowitzki, and the Warriors would switch directly. It's not cost-effective, it's better to find Bogut.

Samuel Dumbert hurried up to cover, and Monta Ellis broke through directly. Poor Bogut's huge body, although he has not rushed up, but facing the fast Monta Ellis, he is still like a wooden stake. After passing, Monta Ellis made a layup directly.

Coach Mark Jackson frowned. This is not a good sign. If Monta Ellis can maintain such a reading ability, he might not be able to guard the Mavericks in today's starting lineup.

Green served the ball quickly, Curry dribbled the ball across the front court, and very rhythmic music sounded on the court, encouraging the Warriors to attack.

The Warriors' offense is generally based on Curry and Green's high-position pick-and-roll. It depends on how the opponent responds and adapts accordingly. The Mavericks dare not let Nowitzki defend Curry alone, so they can only let Monta Ellis chase and defend.

Green was emptied, and Curry rushed halfway to collect the ball, lifted it from the left, swung the ball quickly in the air to the right, and hit the ground to Green who went down.

Green dribbled the ball inside and broke through, Samuel Dumbert hurried up to help defend, Green threw the ball into the air, Bogut jumped lightly, caught the ball in the air with his left hand, and pressed the ball into the basket.

Coach Rick Carlisle also frowned, Curry's pick-and-roll is still a problem that the Mavericks cannot solve.

The two sides each came up with a pick-and-roll to attack the opponent's inside line. In the playoffs, most of them returned to the basics. They either played pick-and-rolls, pushed transitions, or played post-ups in the low post. Under this intensity, they wanted to run smoothly. Tactics are difficult and too many passes means more turnovers.

But the Warriors are still different. It took the Warriors half a season to form a pass-and-cut system, constantly beating and honing. Zhang Xin insisted on this point. The Warriors of later generations have proved that only by kneading the entire team as a whole can they defeat Different powerful enemies, this is also the fundamental reason why the Golden State Warriors of later generations were able to enter the finals four times, win three of them, and establish the Warriors dynasty!
