"Tim, I have to increase my shots in the second half. If this goes on, it will be difficult to win."
Tony Parker had a bad temper and spoke bluntly.
This was meant for Duncan, but in fact, it was meant for Kawhi Leonard. In the first half, Leonard shot more than [-]% from the field, which really cheated his teammates. On the defensive end, Leonard did not limit Qin Yang well enough.
Tony Parker was the player with the highest field goal percentage in these two games.
Even with Gobert's defense inside, Tony Parker's shooting percentage is still amazing, exceeding [-]%.
Not even Duncan can match that.
Ginobili's efficiency depends on his mood. He is not stable enough. He was quite satisfactory in the last game. He played mediocre in the second quarter of this game.
Kawhi Leonard had a dull temper and sat aside without saying a word.
After this game, Kawhi still went to practice shooting.
The game started soon, and the Spurs wanted to show their surprise soldiers.
Diaw began to ask for positions in the paint. Al Jefferson was depressed at the beginning when he was beaten. Diaw is a very strange player. His speed is very slow, but his passing is very good.
The first ball was passed to Tony Parker for a layup.
The Mavericks immediately suspended.
Thackeray enters.
Go to Thackeray at a critical moment.
This is impossible.
The role of Thackeray is obvious. After these three or four minutes, Thackeray belongs to the inside line with no characteristics.
The advantage is that you dare to fight and fight, and you are full of passion.
Cheering for teammates off the court is also true on the court.
Facing Dior, directly and forcibly using physical contact, and others laying up, Thackeray is really catching up, even if it is a foul, he is aggressive.
In the playoffs, no one dares to foul hard, this is not acceptable.
Thackeray plays this role.
Diaw was immediately restrained, and the Spurs' offense slowed down a lot.That's what Thackeray does.
After these three or four minutes, Thackeray was quickly replaced.
Gobert and Nowitzki partnered inside, Marion, Qin Yang, and Casspi partnered outside.This lineup is very strong on the offensive end.
All three of them are accurate in three-pointers, and Marion is also stable in the middle distance.
The Spurs will be difficult to defend.
Cooperate with unlimited outside screens and passing and cutting, and finally find a misplaced shot.
The Mavericks' Princeton tactics are obvious. Nowitzki and Qin Yang have a natural dislocation advantage. This game is not difficult to play.
Whoosh whoosh!
The three-pointer was thrown without playing. In this quarter, the point difference was widened.
If it wasn't for Tony Parker and Ginobili's consecutive hits, which saved some points, the Mavericks might have entered the rhythm of the last game after three quarters.
After three quarters, the Mavericks led by 8 points.
With this point difference, there will be more games in the next quarter.
By the fourth quarter, the Spurs were really fighting.
The Spurs attacked, and the outside pass and cut cooperation did not work. Duncan got stuck inside and directly singled Al Jefferson.
This time, Al Jefferson was not given a chance to foul.
After post-up singles, turn around and shoot directly.
Duncan didn't even jump, and hit the board easily.
The rhythm is well grasped, the strength is strong enough, and the height has an advantage. As long as it occupies a little bit, post-up singles are very useful.
Al Jefferson couldn't help it.
The Mavericks attacked, Qin Yang waved, and shot a super long-range three-pointer at a critical moment. Kawhi Leonard jumped up quickly and touched the basketball with his finger.
A fantastic cap.
Duncan got stuck in time and got the rebound.
The Spurs attack.
Ginobili couldn't play singles from outside. At the critical moment, he suddenly jumped up and shot a three-pointer.
Whoosh!
In the three-pointer.
The Mavericks attacked, and Nowitzki responded in a high position and passed it to Casspi, who was blocked by Duncan for a layup.
Kawhi gets the rebound.
The Spurs attack.
Kawaii played directly this time and shot between the two, causing Nowitzki to foul, 2 of 2.
After a wave of flow, the point difference was evened out.
The momentum of the Spurs rose instantly.
The Spurs' defense is too strong. As long as they seize the opportunity and come out in a wave, they can reverse the score. If it is 8 or [-] points, the situation will be relatively stable, but the [-]-point difference will disappear in a turn.
5 minutes in the fourth quarter, a critical moment.
Back from the timeout, the Mavericks attacked, Qin Yang took the ball and slowly crossed the half court.
Kawhi Leonard is high-spirited, clinging to his body like an octopus, and Nowitzki stepped forward to cover.
Qin Yang stepped back and passed to Nowitzki.
Nowitzki lobs to Qin Yang again.
In an instant, Vince Carter and Nowitzki had a double screen.
Elevator tactics.
Outside the three-point line, no one was defending, Qin Yang made an instant shot.
Whoosh!
A three-pointer was scored.
At critical moments, stabilize the situation.
It's just that this kind of tactic can't be used frequently. The elevator tactic is a bit like covering fouls. If you really want to play this way, the number of times the Mavericks will make covering mistakes will greatly increase.
The Spurs attack.
Qin Yang followed Tony Parker.
Duncan covered, Qin Yang quickly bypassed, Tony Parker layup directly, and made a direct throw in the air.This kind of shot is difficult to be interfered by insiders.
But Qin Yang had been prepared for a long time, and jumped up directly behind, grabbing the hat.
After landing, Tony Parker scrambled, Qin Yang fell out of the line and smashed the basketball into Tony Parker's leg.
The Mavericks have the ball.
Qin Yang attacked with the ball, Nowitzki screened, after the screen, Qin Yang continued to accelerate, Gobert stepped forward to screen, Qin Yang made a layup.
Three people rushed over at the same time.
Qin Yang lightly threw the ball from the top of his head to the left, Nowitzki caught the ball and dunked easily.
In defending this matter, too much force will be nonsense.
The Spurs were too anxious, but they didn't do well enough.
But if there is no other way, Qin Yang can shoot directly without double-teaming Qin Yang, and the hit rate is very high.The Spurs can't afford not to defend.
At the critical moment, the point difference widened again.
The Spurs played steadily, and the Mavericks were not in a hurry.
6 points.
3 points.
5 points.
3 points.
……
The point difference hovered around five points, the Spurs were stable, and the Mavericks were also stable. In the last quarter, the Mavericks put on a defensive lineup.
The team's weakest defense is Vince Carter, want to single Vince Carter?
Yes, but the efficiency value may not be very high.
The two teams grinded until the last half minute, when Qin Yang made a mid-range shot, and the referee blew his whistle for 2-for-2 before the game was decided.
The second round of the Western Conference Finals was another tough battle.
After twists and turns, after a desperate fight, the winner was finally decided.
The Mavericks once again defended their home glory.
2-0 lead.
This start has a great advantage for the Mavericks.
After the game, the Mavericks were full of laughter.
At the press conference, coach Rick Carlisle smiled:
"My players did a good job. They withstood the pressure at the critical moment. No matter what the situation was, they didn't panic. Even if the score was tied, they could hold on. This is the fundamental reason why the Mavericks can win."
Coach Carlisle is very happy. The situation of this year's playoffs is going more smoothly than expected.
Win the first two games!
Then, there is great hope of winning this round of the series.
