The Mavericks and the Knicks finally drew 52 to 52 in the first half. In the first half, the Mavericks made all fans who underestimated the Mavericks and didn’t know how great they are. They not only have a Dirk Nowitzki, they also have Jason Kidd and Jason Terry. , And Sean Marion... Although in the eyes of many fans, their veterans no longer have the strength to become first-line players in the league, but this does not mean that they have not been able to play the expected performance!

It turns out they can!

Just like now, they entered the finals, and then played inextricably with the Knicks.

"The strength of this Mavericks team is beyond everyone's expectations. They have the ability to become the champions of the finals this year. At least from the current situation, I am not sure who can win or who can not win this game! This is what the Mavericks played in the first half let us know! I pay the highest tribute to this group of veterans!"

Kenny Smith was surprised by the Mavericks' performance in the first half and admired the team's ability to break out such strength.

Most of the players on this team are players he knows, and it is for this reason that he feels incredible.

They can actually break out of such strength at the end of their career.

"I don't know how the players of this team got together, but now it seems that they are the right choice to get together!"

The entire audience in Madison Square was also surprised by the Mavericks’ performance in the first half. To be honest, the Knicks’ performance in the first half was really not bad. Yi Jianlian and Stoudemire both played at their own normal level. The problem is that this team has played to its normal level, but the Mavericks still caught up with the disadvantages. This tenacity makes the Knicks fans feel that this team is much better than the Bulls, at least if it is the Bulls. In the case of disadvantages, it is impossible for so many role players to stand up with the main players. That team really only has Derrick Rose on the offensive end!

But the Mavericks are different. Originally they thought it was Dirk Nowitzki, but they really didn't expect other players on this team to be so top at critical moments!

Their impression of this Mavericks team has really changed!

The second half of the game begins!

The Mavericks played aggressively in the opening game. Jason Terry, who was already very hot in the offense in the first half, made a direct debut in the third quarter. His linkage with Tyson Chandler immediately set off a **** storm in the Knicks' inside line at the beginning!

The Mavericks made all of the first four shots-three layups, and a mid-range shot after a pick-and-roll.

The Mavericks' strategy in this quarter was: Jason Terry held the ball to attract double-teams, and Tyson Chandler responded to the free throw line.

On the Knicks side, Yi Jianlian struggled for a while, and he felt quite poor during this period.

During this period of time, the Mavericks' offense basically relied on offensive and defensive conversion, as well as the cold arrows of Felton and Dragic.

By the middle of the third quarter, the Knicks lost a backboard from the inside, and the outside was trapped by Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry's shots.

In this quarter, the Knicks trailed 15 to 22.

D'Antoni let Stoudemire off the court at this time, which made the situation worse.

This made the New York fans feel uncomfortable. In their opinion, they seemed to lose the game!

Are the Mavericks so good?

Their awareness of this Mavericks team has improved a lot. Why is this team so good? They are a little confused.

But when the New York fans were a little bit down, the Knicks had a climax. On the defensive end, the Knicks teamed up for a while, then the weak side pinched the pass line to counterattack, try to force the Mavericks to make a jump shot or pass the ball, and then speed up to counterattack;

On the offensive end, apart from counterattacks, the Knicks basically rely on Yi Jianlian's breakthrough alone.

Towards the end of the third quarter, Stoudemire returned to the field. While continuously putting pressure on the frontcourt, he also added a few fixed-point three-pointers to help the team regain the score.

During the time when Stoudemire was absent, the Knicks actually played a wave of small climaxes, which made him very injured, but fortunately, the Knicks still played very well on the court after he came on the court, which made him gratified. On the other hand, if the Knicks really fell into a stagnant state once he played, then he would really fall into autism!

But unfortunately, this wave of the Knicks' lead was eliminated by the Mavericks: the Mavericks played three guards in the first half of the fourth quarter, and Jason Kidd played with Jason Terry and Stevenson. Jason Terry didn't have much scoring ability, but at the beginning of the fourth quarter, I didn't know what kind of wind he was pumping. These guys unexpectedly added long shots and made all the shots!

The Mavericks caught up with a wave of 7 to 5 and returned to a stalemate.

The negative factor for the Knicks during this time is that the Mavericks would rather put Yi Jianlian and Stoudemire in the shot, but also to choke the combination of Stoudemire, Yi Jianlian and Dragic. Dragic disappeared after the first four minutes. The only time he broke through Barea was a miss. Stoudemire couldn't find the shooting touch. He was supported by Yi Jianlian alone. There is really no way!

"It's not that Stoudemire or Dragic didn't work hard, but in this game they really didn't seem to be able to give Yi enough help. This game has to be won by Yi Lai, such a thing He has done it many times, but this time, it is much harder than before!"

In the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, Dirk Nowitzki's exit was a good opportunity for the Knicks, but Jason Kidd and Jason Terry held the situation abruptly.

This once again proved one thing, this team is not only relying on Dirk Nowitzki alone, they rely on the whole!

At the same time, the Mavericks also showed their amazing defensive ability at this end.

"How to win the game?" The same question asked the former Mavericks coach, Nelson and Johnson will give two completely different answers.

After two consecutive years of failure in the playoffs, the "little general" left sadly, but his successor, Rick Carlisle, who now led the Mavericks to a successful championship, is also an academic coach who started off defense. Defensive supremacy, this is Carlisle's ten-year coaching career has never changed the idea, this view coincides with Johnson, also created the current championship-level Dallas Mavericks.

Now this period of time has proved that Rick Carlisle’s persistence is justified. Any NBA team that wants to win must not rely solely on offense. A team without defense cannot go far in the NBA. This is too much. Many teams have experimented!

Now the Mavericks have once again proved with defense that it makes sense for them to win the game, and it is not luck for them to make it to the finals!

Of course, the Knicks themselves have failed in many details during this period, ruining the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, missed free throws, unreliable rebounds in the backcourt, and extremely failed defense against Jason Terry.

After Dirk played back on the court, he also began to find his hand. Naturally, the Mavericks began to use his high pick-and-roll as a check, clearing the Knicks' inside line and letting him play singles. In the second half of the fourth quarter, the Knicks' defense was too retracted, Kidd and Dirk made consecutive three-pointers to separate the score.

The Knicks' counterattack in the fourth quarter during this period is still clueless, only trying to repeat the first half of Yi Jianlian's breakthrough and Stoudemire's long shot. After consecutive misses, the defense is unstable. Barea made a key three-pointer and Terry singled. The Mavericks stabilized, Dirk's finally showing off, so that the Knicks fell into an unfavorable situation in the middle of the fourth quarter.

The balance of victory once again favored the Mavericks and Dirk Nowitzki.

In fact, Dirk played very little offensively in the first half, but the Knicks did not grasp that he was only 4 of 12 shots. The aggressiveness of the opening and Stoudemire’s explosive advantage were wiped out by the Mavericks’ targeted zone defenses and steals. They did not expect the Mavericks’ role players to be so good. The Knicks succeeded in counterattacks several times later. Established an advantage, but couldn't find a chance to rise. Conversely, the first three quarters Dirk existed more as a containment, but the Mavericks used high-quality transfers, long shots and clever defensive transfers to avoid battles with the Knicks, so that the offensive scores continued.

So far, the Mavericks' leading score is not so much a Dallas victory as a veteran, technique, long shot and team victory. The Knicks’ large number of perimeter holdings and athleticism’s compressed defense have the Knicks’ style of playing talented balls, and the Mavericks’ routines are very international-in fact, Germans, Puerto Ricans, Serbian blacks, A veteran who relies on jump shots and consciousness to feed himself. The Knicks dropped for ten games, relying on Yi Jianlian's ability to overwhelm the Mavericks, but the Mavericks played a lot of pounds, and the Knicks' several counterattacks were restrained!

Yi Jianlian seems unable to stop such a team.

In fact, Yi Jianlian knew very well that what the Mavericks played was the "small ball tactics" that became popular later, which was to defeat the Knicks' counterattacks through defensive and counterattack shots.

To be honest, this is the most advanced tactical concept at this stage!

Yi Jianlian also learned that the current Mavericks team is really terrifying after playing with them. It's not that LeBron James is not good, nor that Wade is not good, including Chris Bosh...well, he seems to be really bad!

But this Mavericks team is terrible!

In the end, the Knicks lost the game 98 to 107 at their home court, and the Mavericks took home advantage back.

Yi Jianlian scored 32 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in this game. His performance was not bad, but it was not outstanding. Stoudemire scored 27 points and 14 rebounds in this game, and his performance was also not bad!

This is also the problem. The Knicks' core players performed well tonight, but they lost the game. This shows that it will be difficult for the Knicks to win.

This Mavericks team is really hard to play!

After the game, the Dallas fans were naturally the most excited, and equally excited were the reporters of the major media. They began to madly praise the team's past transactions:

"Let's take a look at how such a great team was formed! In 2006, the Mavericks lost the finals. In the same year, they picked one of a lot of undrafted rookies. Barea’s little man, this humble Puerto Rican became the biggest player in the Finals five years later.

In 2008, Cuban traded Harris with 5 players and two draft picks to the "triple double king" Kidd. The Mavericks finally found a reliable partner for Nowitzki in the first position? After the deal, the Dallas media denounced Cuban as the prodigal son of "I want the present and not the future," but what about now? As the oldest point guard on the championship team, the 38-year-old Kidd said to the crowd of reporters: "I think I can play for another two years."

In the summer of 2009, Marion joined the Mavericks in a big four-party trade. Five months later, Butler, Haywood, and Stevenson arrived one after another, although Butler, the most famous of the four, was almost the entire season. They all wore suits and sat on the sidelines, but the other three quickly integrated into the Mavericks and became the most reliable support for Nowitzki.

Yes, it was so many trades that made this Mavericks where they are now. More importantly, so many trades did not have much impact at the time, but the final result tells us that these Mavericks transactions are all Right, they are very likely to bring a championship trophy to the Mavericks! "

There are crazy praises of this team owner Mark Cuban:

"Cuban is not a fool~lightnovelpub.net~ However, in terms of investment in the team, he is like a fool. As a shrewd businessman, Cuban accumulated more than $5 billion in wealth before the age of 40; But as long as it involves a victory on the court, Cuban will return to the top of his blood, and then become cost-free."

They think Mark Cuban is a proud boss, and they think a team must be as proud as Mark Cuban if they want to succeed!

They completely forgot how they thought Mark Cuban was just a rich fool!

"He used to be a vanguard against black whistle. He received a huge fine of $250,000 for reprimanding the referee, creating the best in the league. As a businessman, Cuban always seemed to be insecure. He would wear a T-shirt and sit on the sidelines. Dancing and dancing. Or cheer for the team’s wonderful performance, or beat the chest for the opponent’s wonderful performance, and even challenge the referees and even the league from time to time."

They think that Mark Cuban is a warrior who dares to speak the truth and dare to question the league publicly, but they may have forgotten that it was also that they thought that Mark Cuban had done too much as a boss!

"He needs to make him look more like a team owner than just a fan." This sentence was once used by all fans to criticize Mark Cuban.

But now Mark Cuban’s Mavericks won the first game of the Finals and grabbed home advantage. They look so strong, which makes everyone think that NBA bosses should be like Mark Cuban!

"You have to be a fan before you can be a boss!"

Very righteous!

In response to this situation, Mark Cuban posted two dumbfounding expressions on Twitter, and he was also very helpless!
