Chapter 1112 Slap Someone in the Face (4/4!)
Chapter 1112 Slap someone in the face (44!)
The American Airlines Center Arena was packed.
For Mavericks fans, this is one of their happiest seasons.
The team has the second-best record in team history, and now they have another chance to eliminate the four-star Warriors and enter the Western Conference Finals.
Although it was a pity to lose the last game, they have won all their home games in this series so far.
In this final home game, they have a great chance of winning.
The enthusiasm of Dallas fans spread like a virus throughout the arena, and Cuban was the most enthusiastic.
"If we play against them, it will be difficult on the road."
Walker felt it through the screen.
Tang Tian nodded.
The game started soon.
The Mavericks took the lead in the opening game, with Embiid scoring frequently in the paint.
Since Tatum changed the penalty scale last season, the Warriors' five small players have become much weaker.
Xiao Hua is back this season, but the penalty scale has not changed much, and their performance is worse than in history.
This point will become more intuitive in the playoffs after the penalty scale is appropriately tightened.
Especially on the defensive end, the deformity of the lineup makes it particularly difficult for them to defend inside when they encounter a modern center like Embiid.
The Mavericks were in full swing, leading by 10 points in one quarter and extending their lead to 15 points at halftime.
"It seems I guessed it right."
Walker said after watching half of the game.
Tang Tian nodded.
The idea of scoring three times is good, but the same target will become boring if it is played too many times.
But as Walker said, it would be a very good thing to help Butler get revenge.
In the second half, the Mavericks still maintained their lead with their solid defense.
The two teams fell into a stalemate.
I have to say that defense is more important in the playoffs.
Carlisle also showed his tactical ability to the fullest.
But just five minutes into this quarter, the situation on the court suddenly changed.
Curry suddenly entered rampage mode, hitting consecutive three-pointers from outside.
He launched a 10-0 personal attack wave with sudden shots, narrowing the point difference to 5 points.
Carlisle didn't even have time to call for a timeout.
When Carlisle reacted and called a timeout, the two teams were in a stalemate again.
But the stalemate at this time was completely different from the previous one.
After three quarters, the score difference between the two sides was still 5 points.
Looking at this posture, the two sides are likely to fight to the decisive moment.
It was at this time that a controversial penalty occurred on the court.
Not long after the start of the fourth quarter, the Mavericks were called for a screen foul on a three-pointer, but Green obviously moved the screen and was not called.
After Thompson made a three-pointer and six-pointers inside and outside, the Warriors immediately gained momentum.
"This Xiao Hua is really hateful!"
Davis couldn't help but speak when he saw this.
When it comes to hating Xiao Hua, he hates it even more deeply than Tang Tian.
"Wouldn't that be better?"
Tang Tian said with a smile.
Xiao Hua still supports the Warriors as before, especially this season. He probably regards the Warriors as the last straw.
But think about it, it feels good to take away Xiao Hua's last life-saving straw!
Davis' mind was a little confused. Walker saw it from the side and explained it to him before he reacted.
“Then it’s good if the Warriors win.”
He said with a smile after he understood.
Tang Tian couldn't help but reached out and touched his head.
Needless to say, Davis has become smarter and smarter in recent years, but after staying with Duncan for a long time last summer, he felt that his IQ had regressed and he had become a lot more silly and cute.
The Warriors quickly overtook the score.
But Holiday and Jokic scored consecutively to help the Mavericks stabilize the situation.
These two players from the Pelicans have really different playing temperaments.
The two teams were in a stalemate until the last two minutes, with the Warriors only leading the Mavericks by 3 points, 103-100.
And at the critical moment, Holiday made a three-pointer after catching the ball, tying the score and directly stopping the Warriors.
The Mavericks fans on the hotline were excited, and the Pelicans players in the video room also cheered and whistled.
After all, Holiday has played with them for so many years, and it's nice to see him perform well.
The decisive moment in the last two minutes.
In these two minutes, everyone realized the phrase "the playoffs are the stage for superstars".
Just when everyone thought the Mavericks had the courage to regain control of the momentum, Curry and Durant teamed up to launch a 10-2 attack wave.
The game immediately lost its suspense.
The Warriors finally defeated the Mavericks 113-105 in the tiebreaker and entered the Western Conference Finals for the fourth consecutive year!
The end of this game also means that the fourth season of Yuyong Wars will begin!
In the previous four encounters, each side won twice. Based on the best of five games, this year's encounter is also the decisive game for both sides.
Green, who performed well and scored 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, attended the post-game press conference with Curry and Durant.
There is a lot of talk about the game, but there is also about the Warriors' next round opponent, the Pelicans.
"We know that this year's team's performance in the playoffs is not as good as expected. The next round opponent is the Pelicans. They have won 80 games in the regular season and have not lost a game in the playoffs. What do you think of the next conference finals? Or Are you confident that you can break the Pelicans' undefeated streak and win another game?"
The question was from a reporter from FOX.
They love to cause trouble as always, but they also help the Pelicans make trouble as they did this season.
This question is for Cole.
Cole smiled and didn't answer, and Green took the microphone and answered.
"The Trail Blazers can force them into overtime. We can go one step further. What we have to do is not only win the next game, but also win the series."
Cole frowned slightly, obviously Green's way of rushing to answer made him a little unhappy.
But it was hard for him to say anything in this situation.
"But you've said similar things for the last two years and it's failed."
FOX reporter reminded.
There was a commotion in the audience.
This is not just making trouble, but also slapping someone in the face!
Green has said a lot of big words in the past two years, but in the end even his name became Green Draymond.
Everyone knows these things, but this reporter is the first to say it in public.
FOX loves to cause trouble, and big things!
Green's face turned red. He really wanted to go down and have a real-person PK with this reporter.
But he was obviously not as brainless as he looked on the court, so he held back.
"Next question."
At the critical moment, Cole came out to help Green and signaled the next reporter to ask questions.
Cole helped Green out, but the media reports and fans' discussions after the game didn't stop.
"Why do I feel like I'm falling in love with FOX? After they signed a broadcast contract with the Pelicans, they are really popular!"
"This is role substitution, but seeing Green being defeated is really inexplicably refreshing, haha!"
"I think you look down on me, Green Draymond. Be careful, I'll kick your balls out!"
"Forget it, Lone Egg Warrior. I don't want you to really become a eunuch. That story would be too sad!"
"Come on, come on, Pelicans Season 4, I'm really looking forward to the Pelicans' consecutive sweeps!"
