Chapter 660
The second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.The Eagles played against the Wizards, and the Cavaliers played against the Bulls.

As soon as the East and West lineups come out, the next game will become even more topical.

"The battle for the best three-pointer, Stephen Curry vs. Bruce!"

"Another matchup between the Bulls and James!"

"03nd place in [-] vs black and white bears!"

……

Before the game even started, it was already noisy.

For the Mavericks, other things are still far away, and the next opponent is the Warriors who have won the limelight this year.The Warriors' starting lineup is very strong, and the bench is not weak, especially the offensive combination of the Splash Brothers, which has played all over the league, which has troubled many teams.

The Clippers lead 3-1, and everyone agrees that the next round of the series will be the Clippers, but it was only when the results came out that the opponent became the Warriors.

The opponent is the Warriors, so it may not be easy to play.

The Clippers lineup has very big flaws, but the Warriors don't, so it is difficult to have an absolute advantage tactically against the Warriors.

Dallas Mavericks trainer.

Coach Carlisle looked very solemn:

"The next opponent is the Warriors. Many people think this is a weak team, but I have to say that the Warriors are more difficult to play than the Clippers. If you play the Clippers, you can even paddle a little bit, but it will become very difficult to play the Warriors. Then everyone must concentrate."

"The first is defense. The Warriors' offense is very strong. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson shoot exactly the same three-pointers as us in every game, but they are two people, and you are four or five people. We have no advantage in single-handed three-pointers."

"If anything, we're hitting better."

"So, this game is going to die. We have to do a good job of defense, and not the defense that interferes with shots from the outside. If they want to break through, then delay it a little bit. Leave the inside problem to Gobert. I believe he can do a good job."

Gobert smiled, confident.

This season, Gobert's defensive efficiency in the interior is very high, and he already has the momentum of a generation of interior gates.

Coach Carlisle first talked about many points of perimeter defense.

The Warriors, like the Mavericks, are very good at passing and cutting after outside screens. Stephen Curry can shoot directly as long as he has a little space.

And give Curry a good level of breakthrough and good dribbling, so that the difficulty of defense is greatly increased.

Coupled with Klay Thompson's attractive defense, this game is not easy to play.

"The problem on the defensive end is not big. In addition to normal defense, just remember two points. Their Green shot is not good. If there is a chance, you can let go of his three-pointers. And Barnes, his shooting is also unstable. As long as Curry and Thompson are cured first, we will win more than half of the game."

Coach Carlisle first set the tone for the ball emperor to defend well.

Pay attention to defense.

Defense wins championships, no joke.

After finishing speaking on defense, Carlisle began to talk about offense:

"In terms of offense, I don't need to say much. The Warriors' perimeter defense is flawed and lacks a very good defensive core. Klay Thompson is good for switching defenses, but you can find Curry to play. He can't withstand the impact of Rudy and Bruce. In addition, the Warriors are weak inside. Al and Dirk can find a lot of opportunities. If there is a chance, they can attack the basket and score more."

Carlisle doesn't have much to say on offense.

The Mavericks' offense has been honed for a year, and it's strong enough.

According to the normal offensive play, the Warriors are not the opponent, so there is no need to say too much on the offensive end.

The biggest flaw of the Warriors now is the lack of a star who is very reliable on both ends of the perimeter, such as Rudy Gay or Iguodala.

In this case, the Warriors' shortcomings will be infinitely magnified.

On May 5, the second round of the playoffs began.

In the first game, the Mavericks faced the Warriors.

The two teams were very friendly before the game. Stephen Curry has been called a cute god this season. In addition to being cute, the most important thing is that he has a high emotional intelligence.

Off the court, Curry has barely gotten into trouble.

The two teams are very harmonious, and they are all focused on the game.

The game officially begins.

The two sides jumped the ball, Gobert dialed the basketball over, Qin Yang took the ball and crossed the half court, the Warriors completed the defensive tactics in an instant, this time it was Klay Thompson who defended Qin Yang.

Thompson was very depressed in the first two seasons. After Qin Yang was injured, Thompson was ignored and almost abandoned. Later, after he was traded to the Warriors, he stood up again.

As one of the Splash Brothers this season, Klay Thompson played perfectly.

Unlike Curry, Klay Thompson's defense is very strong, and he is often used as a defensive leader to protect the opponent's offensive core, so Klay Thompson can only defend Qin Yang.

Qin Yang used to be his teammate, so he knew Thompson very well.

In fact, Qin Yang doesn't like the Warriors' perimeter defense. Thompson has a strong defense, but his lateral speed is slow, and Barnes is the same.

The Warriors' perimeter defense is not strong.

But in the playoffs, it's too silly to shoot directly in singles.

Qin Yang waved, Al Jefferson stepped forward to cover, the Warriors followed up quickly, Barnes completed the switch in an instant, Qin Yang passed the ball to Rudy Gay.

But Rudy Gay already has Green on defense.

The Warriors' defense this season is not considered weak, among which Draymond Green has made a huge contribution. Today, when small ball tactics are prevalent, Draymond Green can almost switch to five positions. This is very important. It can be said that without Green, the Warriors will be beaten into a sieve.

Rudy Gay took the ball, did not attack rashly, and passed the ball to Qin Yang.

Qin Yang is also very helpless, Corey Brewer's offense with the ball is too bad, it will be a big deal to meet Curry, otherwise it is a very good opportunity to single Curry.

But no one is perfect, and that's not the point.

At this time, Qin Yang raised the ball high and passed it to Al Jefferson, who singled Thompson in a misplaced position.

Klay Thompson is good defensively, but... and Al Jefferson are obviously not in the same tonnage.

Al Jefferson was very skillful in getting stuck in the position, turned around and connected to the basket after a post-up single, and easily wiped the basket and scored.

Klay Thompson couldn't defend the ball.

If Al Jefferson meets Drummond Green or Bogut, Qin Yang will definitely not dare to single him like this, because the efficiency value is very low.

But after the dislocation, Al Jefferson should not play too easily.

The Warriors were very helpless.

Coach Cole stood by without saying a word.

This ball, there is no way.

The flaws in the lineup are that there is no way to make up for it, and no tactics can solve it. Qin Yang's basketball quotient is too high, and he is also very good at controlling possession.

Green is on the outside, Corey Brewer runs to attract the defense, and Qin Yang attracts the defense on the outside.Al Jefferson can play with ease.

There is no way.

An incomparably monstrous point guard is just that powerful.

A clever and clumsy pass makes people helpless.
