During the halftime break, in the Warriors locker room, Nelson was racing against time to plan the offensive and defensive tactics for the second half.

"Although we fell behind in the first half, I am very satisfied with this result. Your performance was very good. Keep up the good work in the second half and win this damn game."

After some encouragement, Old Nelson continued to deploy tactics.

"Sun is in good form tonight. We have to seize the opportunity and create scoring opportunities for him. As for the defensive end, you can give your full play."

Nelson is not good at defensive tactics and can only keep players motivated on the defensive end.

Sun Yi listened to Old Nelson's passionate deployment of tactics and felt that listening to your words was like listening to your words, which was completely meaningless.

From a tactical perspective, it can be summed up in one sentence: Give the ball to Sun Yi!

Sun Yi was not surprised by this. He knew very well that the Warriors had already performed their best in the first half and there was nothing that could be improved in a short period of time.

Both sides have played several games and are very familiar with their respective tactics. There are no secrets at the tactical level. The next game can only depend on the players' performance on the spot.

On the other side, inside the Mavericks locker room.

Head coach Carlisle is holding a tactical board, writing and drawing on it, and arranging tactics for the players.

"Our defensive strategy was very successful in the first half and did not allow the Warriors to shoot from the outside. The game continued in the second half."

Carlisle felt that by guarding the Warriors' perimeter offense, they would have a high probability of winning the game.

Unexpectedly, Sun Yi suddenly broke out and disrupted all previous arrangements.

Judging from the first half of the game, the Mavericks' inside line could not prevent Sun Yi and others from breaking through and attacking the frame.

If Dampier still has the defensive ability of the "second center in the Western Conference" back then, he should be able to limit the Warriors' breakthrough attacks.

As for starting center Haywood, he is also useless. After a serious injury, his physical functions have declined across the board and he cannot effectively protect the frame.

Without a big center who can guard the penalty area, the Mavericks' defensive system is not complete enough and cannot perform as effectively as it should.

Therefore, Carlisle decided to keep the defensive strategy unchanged in the second half of the game.

If the Mavericks were really beaten to death by a rookie, he would admit it!

The short 15-minute intermission ended and the second half began.

The lineup sent by the Warriors is: Curry, Ellis, Maggette, Sun Yi, Randolph.

The lineup sent by the Mavericks is: Kidd, Stevenson, Marion, Nowitzki, Haywood.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Warriors took the lead.

Curry dribbled the ball quickly and came to the top of the arc to organize the attack.

Seeing that the defender was still Marion, Sun Yi immediately ran to the low post area on the right, leaning on Marion and reaching for the ball.

"Oh! Sun is going to play a low post. It seems that the Warriors have shown their trump card." Mike Breen explained excitedly.

Curry, who was controlling the ball at the top of the key, immediately hoisted the ball into the paint.

Sun Yi received the pass, lowered his shoulders and center of gravity, hit Marion's chest with his shoulder, and slowly moved towards the penalty area.

"Damn it! This guy is so hard!" Marion felt the burning pain in his chest and felt that if he continued to be elbowed by Sun Yi, he would lie down and be carried out.

Fortunately, Sun Yi was merciful and did not continue to elbow. When he reached the edge of the penalty area, he turned over and shot a fadeaway jumper.

Marion grimaced in pain and didn't even bother to rush forward to interfere.

A swish sound!

Hollow into the net!

57:57!

The Warriors tied the score!

The audience suddenly burst into deafening cheers and shouts.

The ball transitions and the Mavericks attack.

Kidd dribbled to the frontcourt and cooperated with Nowitzki in a pick-and-roll.

Sun Yi immediately changed defense and used [Death Coil] to defend Kidd closely.

Faced with the defensive pressure from Sun Yi, Kidd failed to pass the ball to Nowitzki, who was downhill.

The tactics failed to work out, and Jibugong wanted to take Sun Yi to the outside and reorganize the attack.

But Sun Yi didn't follow the rules and didn't follow.

"Small, I don't know your depth yet."

Sun Yi knows very well that Kidd's three-point shooting is very unstable, and he often misses the shot but not suddenly.

Seeing this situation, Jibu Gong hesitated and shot a three-pointer.

"when!"

The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!

The ball was a long rebound, flying just in the direction of Sun Yi.

Sun Yi jumped up hard to grab the defensive rebound. After landing, he immediately took a few steps forward and then threw the ball forward.

Ellis, who was on the fast break, received the pass, rushed into the penalty area, and scored the ball with a civilian layup.

On the sidelines, Mavericks head coach Carlisle clenched his fists angrily and shouted toward the court: "Reduce three-point shooting and use tactical coordination!"

On the court, Kidd looked embarrassed as he was dribbling forward, knowing that the previous offense was his fault.

In this offense, he did not mess around. After directing his teammates to move, he passed the ball to Nowitzki.

After receiving the pass, Nuo Tianwang immediately turned around and faced the frame for a single.

Sun Yi took the opportunity to cut the ball but failed.

Nowitzki took this opportunity and immediately released the ball, quickly passed by Sun Yi and broke through into the penalty area.

Sun Yi was a little annoyed, and in order to make up for his mistake, he quickly turned around and chased after him.

When King Nuo came to the penalty area, he immediately stopped, jumped up and shot.

Sun Yi chased from behind and rushed to interfere but failed to block the basketball.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!

59:59!

The Warriors served quickly, and Curry quickly dribbled the ball forward after receiving the ball.

The Mavericks retreated very quickly and did not give the Warriors a chance to play a fast break.

Falling into a positional battle, Curry and Sun Yi played pick-and-roll cooperation.

With the help of the screen, Curry got rid of Kidd's defense and broke through into the penalty area. When Marion's defense changed, he hit the ball and passed it out.

After blocking the opponent, Sun Yi quickly went down, received the pass, took a big step, jumped into the air, stretched his body in the air, and made a tomahawk chop gesture.

Nowitzki and Haywood, who were rushing towards the basket, saw this situation and immediately stopped, not wanting to act as a backdrop.

Bang!

Sun Yi vigorously smashed the ball into the basket.

The audience burst into thunderous applause, cheers and shouts resounded throughout the arena, and the atmosphere at the scene reached its peak.

Looking back, Nowitzki used the double screen of his teammates to get rid of Sun Yi's pursuit, and hit an independent jumper against Ellis's defense.

Sun Yi and Nowitzki started fighting again!

On the Warriors bench, Nelson saw the situation on the court and smiled happily.

These two people are worthy of being the disciples he trained, so they are very honorable!

On the other side, on the Mavericks bench, Carlisle frowned when he saw the scene on the court.

If the Mavericks were given a big center who could guard the basket, how could Sun Yi be so arrogant?

Nowitzki is too soft, Haywood is too slow, and the inside line formed by them cannot stop Sun Yi from attacking the frame.

If you want to restrict Sun Yi from attacking the frame, you can only shrink the defense.

But doing this will give the Warriors' perimeter an opportunity to take advantage.

Once the Warriors are allowed to shoot from the outside, they can't defend them at all.

This is a situation Carlisle doesn't want to see.

The only way at this stage is to compete against each other to see who scores more points!

The Warriors took advantage of outside threats to create breakthrough opportunities for Sun Yi, hitting the frame one after another.

The Mavericks used their entire team's strength to create scoring opportunities for Nowitzki. They used constant pick-and-rolls and screens to allow Nowitzki to play in misplaced singles, and hit back-up jumpers one after another.

Just like that, at the end of the third quarter, the score on the field was 85 to 84, with the Warriors leading by 1 point.

In the third quarter, Sun Yi scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

Nowitzki scored 16 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

It can be said that this game is like an exhibition match specially arranged for them.

Not long after, the inter-quarter break ended and the fourth quarter began.

When the game started in the fourth quarter, the Mavericks took the lead.

Kidd dribbled the ball to the top of the arc to organize the offense and direct his teammates' movements.

Nowitzki quickly ran towards the low post area on the right side. Seeing Sun Yi quickly chasing after him, he immediately stopped, turned around and ran towards the right side of the three-point line.

Seeing this situation, Sun Yi immediately changed his direction to pursue him, but was blocked by Marion.

King Nuo ran to the right side of the three-point line, received a pass from Kidd, hit a three-pointer with his hand, and once again took the lead.

Randolph immediately picked up the basketball on the floor, quickly exited the baseline, and sent the ball out.

Curry caught the ball and quickly advanced, reaching a position half a meter away from the three-point line, and jumped directly to shoot.

Bang!

The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!

The Mavericks protected the backcourt rebounds, and Kidd dribbled forward unhurriedly, slowing down the pace of the game.

Coming outside the three-point line, he handed the ball to Nowitzki.

After receiving the ball, Nuo Tianwang turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper, which was interfered by Sun Yi and failed to hit.

Randolph got stuck to grab the rebound and passed it to Curry to launch a defensive counterattack.

This time Curry didn't make any wasteful shots. He dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, attracted the defense and passed the ball out.

Sun Yi, who followed up, received the pass and rushed into the penalty area. Relying on Nowitzki, who was returning to defense, he made a tough layup.

Looking back, the Mavericks cooperated through passing and cutting, and Marion slipped to the baseline to catch the ball and score a layup.

Immediately afterwards, the Warriors responded quickly.

With the help of pick-and-roll cooperation, Ellis quickly broke through to the basket, took a European step to shake off the defending Nowitzki, rushed to the basket and flew for a layup.

It was the Mavericks' turn to attack. After Terry changed directions continuously, he swayed away from Ellis and hit an emergency jumper to take the lead again.

The Warriors were not to be outdone. Sun Yi broke through to the basket, encountered a double team, and scored the ball.

Randolph received the pass and hit a mid-range jumper.

In the next game, the two sides fought hard to separate each other, taking the lead alternately.

When the game reached the final 60 seconds, the Mavericks led by 1 point and had the ball.

Kidd took his time dribbling forward and came to the top of the arc to organize the attack and shorten the time.

When there were about 10 seconds left in the attack time, he played a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki and accurately passed the ball to Nowitzki.

King Nuo received the pass, knocked away Curry who was defending him, and took off to shoot.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball hit the net and made a steady hit!

"Dirk is as steady as ever. Now the Mavericks have a 3-point lead, and the pressure is on the Warriors." Mike Breen analyzed the situation on the court.

On the court, the Warriors quickly sent a baseline ball. Curry received the ball and advanced, passing the ball just past the center line.

Sun Yi, who was on a fast break, received the pass and raised his hand to fake a shot. Marion, who was flying to interfere, immediately released the ball and broke through towards the basket, dunking the ball into the basket with one hand.

At this time, there were 30 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Mavericks led by 1 point.

After the goal, the Warriors immediately launched a full-court press.

Nowitzki, who was serving from the baseline, quickly looked for his teammates and passed the ball to Kidd with quick eyes and hands.

Kidd received the pass and steadily advanced the ball without giving Curry a chance to steal it.

At the same time, Sun Yi suddenly came out from behind Kidd, quickly grabbed the ball, and acted as the sixth player.

Keji is rich in offensive experience and immediately protects the ball in his arms, waiting for his teammates to respond.

Sun Yi and Curry wanted to steal the ball, but they couldn't do it. Kidd protected the ball very well.

Nowitzki caught up quickly, and after receiving the pass, he immediately passed the ball to other teammates.

After the full-court press was broken, the Warriors adopted man-to-man defensive tactics.

Kidd created a singles opportunity for Novis through his command and immediately passed the ball.

King Nuo received the pass and knew that the offensive time was running out. After shaking his shoulders from side to side, he immediately turned over and shot a fadeaway jumper.

Sun Yi predicted Nowitzki's next move and immediately rushed to interfere. His defense was very good.

But Nowitzki's touch was too hot, and this difficult fadeaway shot went through the heart and hit the net.

At this time, there were 8 seconds left before the end of the game, the Mavericks led by 3 points, and the Warriors requested a final timeout.

The fans at the scene were extremely worried, their palms were sweating, and they prayed that the last attack could equalize the score.

On the Warriors bench, Nelson was racing against time to plan tactics.

"Monta, Stephen, you two act as a feint. If you have a chance, shoot. If you don't have a chance, pass the ball to Sun."

The Warriors players nodded in understanding.

Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.

The fans in the audience stood up one after another to watch the last attack.

In the live commentary box, Mike Breen analyzed the situation on the field for the fans in front of the TV.

"The Warriors will definitely want a three-pointer in this attack, but I don't know who will finish it. Sun, Stephen and Ellis are all possible. We will wait and see!"

On the court, Randolph served the sideline ball very smoothly, and then ran to the right three-point line to cover without the ball.

Ellis received the pass and saw that Stevenson was very defensive and had no good chance to make a shot, so he immediately passed the ball.

Sun Yi, who was running quickly, bypassed Randolph's screen, received the pass, and immediately took off, but saw Kidd, Nowitzki and others rushing over. He had an idea and changed the shot to a pass.

With the bonus of Dealing Cards' effect, pass the ball to the right bottom corner accurately.

Curry, who was ambushing in the right corner, received the pass and without time to adjust, he quickly jumped up and threw the basketball in his hand.

When the basketball left Curry's fingertips, the indicator light on the backboard lit up, and a harsh buzzer sounded throughout the arena.

At this time, everyone at the scene held their breath and looked at the basketball in the air.

This goal will determine whether overtime will be played.

The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air.

A swish sound!

Hollow into the net!

"Oh my god! The game is not over yet. Stephen Curry pulled the Warriors back from the abyss with a fatal three-pointer. There is no doubt that he saved the Warriors!" Mike Breen exclaimed excitedly.

said.

"Stephen has a big heart. No matter how bad his performance was before, as long as he is given a chance, he can give his opponent a fatal blow. Now the two teams are back on the same starting line again. Let's wait and see in the next overtime!" Miller was excited!

Explained.

In the audience seats, the fans reacted one after another and burst into deafening cheers and shouts.

On the court, Sun Yi and others gathered around Curry, rubbed his head, celebrated, and then walked towards the bench.
Chapter completed!
