Chapter 526 Sorry, I want to win this game

On the 24th, the King flew to Dallas to start the third game of the first round with the Mavericks at the American Airlines Arena.

After two rounds, Su Yang figured out the Maverick's thinking.

It should be a lesson learned from the previous two tragic losses. Mavericks coach Carlisle completely gave up using Rondo and replaced him with Felton as the starting point guard. He imitated the Clippers' idea of ​​defeating the Kings, speeding up the fast break in an all-round way, and basically gave up. High-intensity defense.

The king then pushed the attack in an all-round way.

After the first quarter, the Mavericks lead 42 to 36.

库里7投5中砍下12分，考辛斯4投3中砍下10分，而小牛埃利斯也砍下12分。

The Mavericks' offensive thinking was successfully verified. After Rondo was absent, they returned to the familiar FLOW offensive system, which made it difficult for the Kings to restrict them through five defenses and four. The threat is greater.

In the second quarter, the game started immediately. The Mavericks continued to use the idea of ​​pushing forward in an all-round way, and Su Yang also asked the kings to continue to fight.

Also tried to strengthen the defense.

But Cousins ​​fouled twice in a short period of time, and Curry fouled twice within 5 minutes. The referee did not allow them to be so awesome.

The Mavericks then took advantage of the lineup and played a wave of 23 to 10. At the end of the half, the Mavericks overtook the Kings by 7 points.

Back in the locker room, Su Yang made a brief summary and analysis, and was about to tell Cousins, who had committed three fouls in the halftime, not to worry. Instead, Cousins ​​said, "Don't worry, coach. Out of control, I understand."

That kind of language, implying the Mavericks home whistle.

Su Yang nodded and agreed that the Mavericks did make a profit through the home whistle, but they were more aggressive and prone to fouls.

In addition, JJ Barea played well. After being reused, it was a bit easy to play against Thomas Jr., who was close in height.

The halftime break is over, and the third quarter begins.

The rhythm of the two teams has not changed, and the referee has no bias to call the penalty. The Kings scored 36 to 27, leading the Mavericks by 2 points.

Curry scored 16 points in a single quarter.

Su Yang specially designs non-center pick-and-rolls around Curry, and the Mavericks, except for Chandler, have Dirk Nowitzki, Jefferson, Ellis, Felton, and Barea. When the Kings pick-and-roll, the restrictions are very small , Let Curry almost do whatever he wants.

The game entered the fourth quarter, and the two teams began to strengthen their defense tacitly. The Kings switched defenses unlimitedly, and the Mavericks used 32 defenses.

Between you and me, with Nowitzki making two free throws, the Mavericks trailed by 1 point, with 1 minute and 13 seconds left in the game.

Cheers erupted in the arena.

The King kicked off the ball from the backcourt, and Curry slowly pushed forward with the ball, all the way to the top of the frontcourt, facing the big brother Ellis' defense.

The horn formation started simultaneously, and Green mentioned that a 45-degree wall was set up on the left side for a pick-and-roll, but Curry hadn't started yet, and Nowitzki was still stepping forward to prepare for the delay, and his attitude was full.Curry simply gave up on the breakthrough, and continued to dribble the ball to the left to observe.

Green turned around immediately, and with the help of Cousins' cross block on the right elbow, he went straight to the 45-degree three-point line on the right.

Curry hit the ground to give the ball, and the Kings played STS+FLARE to cooperate, but Green did not rush to shoot the ball, but passed back to Curry on the left 45-degree three-point line. Cousins ​​also made a back screen and completely locked Dead Ellis quickly squeezed through cover to give chase.

In the blink of an eye, Curry threw the ball to the right and prepared to break through. Seeing that Chandler was going to the right to move laterally, he immediately pushed the ball in front of the suspended body, changed to a cross-step breakthrough, and hit the left waist in the blink of an eye. Ignoring Aminu's shrinking defense, facing the chasing Chandler, he stopped and jumped suddenly, pushed the ball with his left hand and threw it high, and the basketball rebounded into the net with a bang, and the Kings took a 126-123 lead.

The referee also blew his whistle, calling Chandler for a thug foul, indicating that the two-point goal on the technical table is valid, and there will be an additional penalty.

Su Yang stood up and applauded, sighing in his heart: "Chandler is no longer as brave as before, if he were back then, he might have been able to stop this breakthrough."

Center forwards who are getting older can also jump high and run fast, but their explosive power is no longer and it is too easy to fall behind the rhythm.

There were boos in the arena, Curry stood on the free throw line, took the referee's pass, patted it, threw it casually, and hit the net hollow.

The Kings lead 127 to 123 by 4 points.

With 56.8 seconds left in the game, it was the Mavericks' turn to attack.

Barea dribbled the ball across the center line, covered by Chandler at 45 degrees on the right, walked to the sideline, and faced Cousins ​​in a dislocation.

The situation is small and big, and the speed has a great advantage.

The Mavericks will disperse and expand, giving Puerto Rico the largest one-on-one space in a mountain, and the trust level can be said to be raised to the extreme.

The fans at the scene also cheered and shouted. Barea continued to change directions and swayed, suddenly went to the right to break through, and rushed all the way to the basket. He threw the ball to Ellis who was rushing towards him.

Ellis took the ball and shot subconsciously, but Turner's height advantage was too great, and Cousins ​​also intercepted the front basket, so he didn't dare.

Seeing that he was about to make a double-team error, Ellis rose from the ground, leaned back in the air, and forcibly threw a difficult three-pointer.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Chandler jumped to grab the rebound lightly. Without Cousins ​​to confront him, Curry, who was stuck at the basket, was no match at all.

The king's double-team followed, Chandler hurriedly passed the ball towards the top of the arc, and Barea caught the ball and made a rush shot.

However, Antetokounmpo Covington blocked the front, Barea quickly stopped the action, turned around and passed to Nowitzki on the right.

Green hurried back to the defense, thinking that Nowitzki made a "forward shot", and the referee immediately whistled for a foul.

Green was dumbfounded on the spot, and shouted after a while: "NOOOO, I didn't move, he hit me on his own initiative!"

The referee ignored it, and Su Yang chuckled with his hands on his hips, wondering when Nowitzki would steal Harden's trick.

According to the rules, it is a foul, no way.

After three free throws, the fans chanted MVP. Nowitzki went to the free throw line and scored three consecutive hollow shots.

The Mavericks chased 126 to 127 and were only 1 point behind. With 33.8 seconds left before the end of the game, the Kings suspended.

The five of Curry returned to the bench. Su Yang made player adjustments first, dispatched Thomas Jr. to replace Turner, and then arranged tactics: "We are in the lead for the time being, and we can be more patient. Let Curry handle the basketball, and the others will look down. act on the situation.”

During the conversation, the whistle sounded at the end of the pause.

The game continues.

The two teams entered the court and stood, the king kicked off from the right sideline, and Curry ran to the right wing to get the ball with the help of ladder screens.

The formation of one high and four low was put out simultaneously, and Curry sideways protected the ball, all the way to the LOGO position, bowed and patted and waited.

There were boos everywhere in the arena, and with only 10 seconds left in the attack clock, Green rushed to the top of the arc and set up a wall to block Ellis.

Nowitzki quickly switched defenses, facing Curry on the left elbow, forming a big defense and a small situation, and hastily bent his knees to lower his center of gravity.

Curry continuously changed direction in front of his body, changed hands and swayed under his crotch. He just took up time until there were only 3 seconds left, and suddenly withdrew for a three-pointer.

Nowitzki jumped into the air, the basketball bounced into the net with a bang, and the Kings led 130 to 126.

With 10.7 seconds left in the game, the Mavericks requested a timeout, and some fans got up and left the field.

Probably because it is too difficult to catch up with 4 points behind, and there is only one timeout left. I am afraid of scoring a three-pointer and fouling the Kings. Don't say that the king actively fouled.

There is little hope of a comeback.

Su Yang made a little arrangement, anyway, no three-point and three-point fouls, fouls in advance depending on the situation, don't give the Mavericks too many opportunities, and then send Antetokounmpo and Turner to ensure the defense to the greatest extent, and by the way, preset the Mavericks to play After entering, you can start a fast break.

Back from the timeout, the Mavericks BOX landed, but unlike the classic BOX, Ellist deliberately went out of bounds to serve.

The referee blew his whistle, and the Mavericks ran a down screen + cross screen first, and Barea took the defensive attention away.

Seeing this, Ellis sent the ball to Nowitzki who provided cross-blocking cover, then stepped into the field, took over and passed back the pass, rushed a few steps to the top of the arc, changed defense against Green, twisted his hips and rushed into the paint In the zone, make an emergency stop and throw the ball high to hit the board, trying to make two quick points.

Snapped!Green's cap slapped the basketball.

Curry caught the ball, raised his hand and threw it to the center line, Antetokounmpo caught the ball and strode wildly, missing the free throw line in the frontcourt after two dribbles.

The incident happened suddenly, and the Mavericks had no time to catch up in the future. They watched Antetokounmpo jump high and smash dunks with all the fans.

The basketball went into the net, 132 to 126.

With 4.9 seconds left in the clock, the Mavericks had no hope of a comeback in theory, so they stopped playing and walked to the player tunnel.

Nowitzki's back looks a little lonely.

Seeing this, Su Yang thought: Sorry, I want to win this game.

The whistle sounded at the end of the game, and the Kings defeated the Mavericks. Oita led 3-0 in the first round of the playoffs, and the promotion is in sight.

In the whole game, Curry scored 7 points from 43 free throws, 9 assists and 5 rebounds, and his presence was full.

After finishing the press conference, Su Yang went back to the hotel, took a look at the potential opponents in the second round, and found that the Thunder and the Clippers were playing in a dark and dark environment. Although the Thunder led 2 to 1, the difference between the three games and four overtimes was only 5 points. Physical exertion is quite large.

However, the more the two teams fight, the more courageous they are, the harder they fight, and the better the cooperation, it feels like cultivating Gu to cultivate the strongest form.

The king will be in trouble at that time.
